This gun needs to be rejoined (tightening of the barrels to the action) and a repairable bulge removed from the right barrel 15" from the breech. The left firing pin needs to be replaced as it appears short. There is good wall thickness but there is pitting in the bores. All and all nothing that cannot be done but will take time and money unless one does the work him or herself.

*This was originally a very fine gun and would be worth restoring in my opinion. My estimate for this work would roughly be 1K but this would not include a re-browning of the barrels.

*The positives are that the side lever action retains 50% original case color on the locks and all the engraving is sharp and of high quality. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 5503 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
