Casehardened action and forearm hardware, with blue remaining parts, and mounted with a multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm and pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and checkered bare butt with an engraved skeletonized buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels retain 80% touch-up blue finish, thinning and areas of smooth gray patina on the tops and showing a few small areas of minor pitting. The trigger guard and break lever have a smooth gray patina. The action has silvered out. The wood is good as cleaned with a new coat of finish with a number of scattered minor scratches and pressure dents and for the most part crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically fine.
