Description:
44 cal round bbl, full mag and crescent butt. 49k serial range. Metal color is mostly a silver/grey. Was cleaned years ago and is starting to age back. Good bbl markings. Correct small style Buckhorn rear sight. Sight has more blue than the bbl and likely was removed when they were cleaning the metal. Front sight is a standard German silver sight. Orig dust cover. Wood is about average for an early 73 having seen quite a bit of use. An area of missing wood just under the sight on the right side. Some saddle wear and also saddle wear on the forearm. Buttstock is in fair to good cond. Bore is pretty good with decent rifling. No heavy pitting but some roughness. A little bit of lever droop. Action works good.
