The center fire rifle barrel has been sleeved and converted to .22 Hornet and is marked "ERNST A. PRIEBE/CLEVELAND OH" on the underside.

Rating Definition:

Fine as converted to .22 Hornet and refinished. Showing 75% of the blue with some areas of light edge wear, thinning finish, a few small nicks and light scratches. The frame and lock plates have aged to a mostly gray patina with some light spotting and handling marks. The buttstock trap has similarly aged. The wood is very good as freshened with well defined checkering, scattered small indentations and general handling marks. Mechanically very good.
