Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes a socket bayonet and later leather sling. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Good with bright surfaces, scattered light pitting on the barrel, some mild flash pitting, and scattered moderate pitting on the lock with nice lock markings. Brass retains an attractive golden aged patina. Stock is also good as sanded and re-oiled with scattered light scratches and dents, a spliced replacement forend, a few mild gouges on the left of the comb, and crisp stampings on the left of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Included bayonet is good with scattered moderate pitting.
