The left side of the frame is marked with the two line Sharps patent marking and the lock is marked with the two line Sharps and Lawrence patent date markings.

Good. The metal surfaces have a smooth mottled brown patina with flashes of original case colors in the protected areas of the lock around the hammer. The wood is also good with overall scattered minor dents and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
