Barrels retain approximately 90% (32") & 98% (28") of their blued finishes, both with soft marking and have likely been refinished long ago. The receiver exhibits nice original case colors extending from the protected areas with the balance turned to a lovely aged grey patina. The blued triggerguard retains the majority of it's finish but shows some light scattered pin prick pitting along the tang. Bores are excellent, action is sound, markings are sharp on the receiver and wood stocks are extra fine. Condition is near excellent. ***C&R Firearm*** ***Modern Firearm***
