Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very good. Both bores crisp and smooth and showing light to moderate oxidation. Barrels with much of their thinned and dulled brown on the surfaces, showing more bright brown underneath. Case coloring mostly present but fading and dulling. Triggerguards with much of their blue. Both locks remain functional, although the hammer spur is broken off one hammer. The spur is present in the case and could potentially be repaired by a talented gunsmith. Stocks very good with much of their finish intact and nice checkering. The wood shows scattered bumps, dings and mars and one gun shows some minor loss under the bolster and along the upper edge of the stock about half way down the barrel on the reverse. The case is in fair condition at best, is well worn, with wear all the way through the lid, damage to almost all of the dividers, which are mostly loose or broken and a number of ill attempted repairs to the lining. Accessories mostly good, mold reblued.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair.
