CONDITION: Very good. Bbls. retaining approx. 85-90% original blue w/ scattered freckling, most of which should clean. The action appears to have been cleaned to silver gray w/ traces of very light color remaining where protected. Stocks retain most of their original finish w/ a large number of marks & dings. Checkering lightly worn. Bores are very fine, bright & shiny throughout w/ one or 2 very minor pings. Action is tight. Bbls. are on face. Ejectors are strong & in time.
