Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good. Bores are Minty. Case colors on the frame are strong with the underside having taken on a grey patina while some brown mottling is forming on the right flank below and behind the barrel fence. Triggerguard shows some brown patinated scratches. Blued finish thinning over the barrels with gray to brown patina forming over the mid length, and patinated streaks overall. Some further muzzle wear to the blue with the barrel matting going all the way to the end of the rib. Stock has preserved a tight wood to metal fit with some operating wear below the lever at the right wrist. Varnished finish has worn down at the edges and displays some scattered dull spots and light dents. Checkering to wrist and forend remains strong with the finish having worn down on the checkering to right wrist. Action locks up tightly with the barrels on face, and the lever resting right of center.
