Fitted with Marble beaded blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights and mounted with a smooth schnabel tip forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine, retains 40% plus original blue finish with the balance thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina with some scattered patches of light pitting. The reoiled wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, and retaining most of the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
