ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes, minor handling evidence, some varnish peel at the lower tang, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The case is very good with minor wear and an absent latch release and the extra barrel set is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
