Description:
The good news is as stated, it has the scarce longer bbl, but the bad news being the bore isn't too good. Will need a lot of cleaning. Caliber 32WCF. Quite a bit of wear to the finish on the bbl being mostly light brown grey with a mix in of blue. Pretty much the same on the receiver. Good honest antique color to it. Standard front and rear sights, sight elevator on the rear is a replacement. Wood is pretty good on the gun, fit to the frame is very acceptable. One oddity to the stock is a six sided star embedded into the right hand side of the stock and on it is patent January 17, 1878. They did a nice job of the in-letting, what it means ??
