Bright coin finished box lock action with side clips, cross bolt third fastener, bushed firing pins, cocking indicators, single trigger with selector, and automatic sliding tang safety.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 99% original blue finish on the barrels, light handling marks, and crisp engraving. The left side of the forearm has a very small hairline crack visible just ahead of the shoe, otherwise the wood is excellent with sharp checkering, and just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent.
