A realy nice example that will make an excellent addition to a collection! This rifle has been in one family its entire life of owened at one time by my friends great grandfather. His great grandfather scratched his name HIMBREE inside the stock with a pocket knife over 100 years ago. My friend is over 50 now and its not been fired in his lifetime. He also said that the reblue took place before he got it. As you can tell by the pictures this rifle is in excellent condition for its 145 year old existance.
