It is fitted with a full length, checkered, straight grip stock with raised cheekpiece, hardware for a sling and brass crescent buttplate. The forend tip is missing.

Very good plus. The barrel retains 30% of the original blue finish mixed with a smooth brown patina. The rest of the iron surfaces exhibit a smooth gray patina. There is a threaded hole on top of the frame near the bolster. The brass has a smooth yellow patina mixed with a smooth dark patina. There are some minor dings on the brass. The stock is near fine with the exception of some minor dings, dents, chips and scratches. A 5 inch long chunk of wood is missing from the right side of the forearm, with a 7 inch long crack. The end cap is also missing (see photo). The underside of the buttstock has a large chip. There are some minor dings in the overall very good checkering. There is some moderate pitting at the breech. Hammer functions but is very stiff. The marking and engraving are clear.
