Good. The barrel and lock have a gray patina with some light spotting, oil staining on the hammer, and minor marks. The brass has an attractive aged patina.

Rating Definition:

Fair as cut down. The barrel is a brown finish. The lock is a mottled gray patina with light pitting. The brass and German silver are lightly aged. The stock is fine and has some chips around the lock inlet and a crack at the tail of the patch box. The action needs some work. The markings are mostly legible.
