The barrel retains about 50% original blue concentrated above the forend and fading to a gray-brown patina toward the muzzle with overall spots of old light oxidation and light pitting. The balance of metal surfaces have aged to a lightly-oxidized blend of gray and brown patina with some scattered spots of pinprick pitting and nice modest case-hardened colors remaining in the protected areas. all metal markings are correct and crisp. The American black walnut stock and forend rate about fine retaining a strong original finish with a short drying crack ahead of the buttplate tang and the expected scattered dings and handling marks from the years. The original sights and the parts of the pellet priming mechanism are intact, as is the sling bar and ring on the left side of the wrist though there is a slight gap in the fit of the metal to the wood at the rear of the sling bar plate. The action is strong and crisp and appears to function well mechanically. A very good example of these iconic Civil War carbines...DUE TO THE USPS CHARGING AN ADDITIONAl $15 FOR BOXES LONGER THAN 30", I HAVE HAD TO ADJUST MY SHIPPING CHARGES....
