CONDITION: Very fine with 80% plus of the lightly fading blue and essentially all of the bright original gold remaining on the barrel, chipped standing leaf on rear sight, mostly bright cleaned lock with crisp engraving and slight patination, bright mounts with crisp designs, and general mild age and storage related wear overall. The stock is fine and has distinct carving, some cracks and repairs, and mild scratches and dings. The spring retaining screw on patchbox cover was overtightened resulting in a small dimple on the outer surface. The lock has not been tested. The set triggers are mechanically fine.
