Description:

Manufactured in 1929. Single bead sight on a barrel with a 2 3/4 inch chamber, choked full. Plain pistol grip stock with black checkered factory buttplate and 18 groove slide handle. Length of pull approximately 13 5/8".

Rating Definition:

Partially refinished and renumbered, on the takedown ring with the balance of gun fine. The barrel retains about 95% of the original blue finish with the beginnings of a smooth brown patina (strongest on the barrel band) and some minor scratches. Two scratches run the length of the barrel on the underside. The rest of the metal surfaces retain about 90% of the blue with gray patina on the high edges, some minor spotting and some pin point pitting. A cold blue mixture of smooth brown and smooth gray patina is present on the action bar, magazine tube and receiver takedown ring. The revarnished stock has some minor dings and scratches. The freshened slide handle has some minor scratches and retains most of the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
