There are scattered minor dings along the barrel. There is an old repaired break on the hammer and trigger guard as well as an old repair on the trigger guard. The wood is about fair with a large piece missing on the upper left side front of the forearm, the forend cap is missing and the wood is missing on the right side. There is a repair on the top of the wrist on both sides and chips around the lock. The stock and barrel are loose where they join the frame. The buttplate has an aged patina. The barrel marking is crisp and clear. The action functions, but is loose as the cylinder does not lock up.
