Rating Definition:

Very good, with a strong brown color on the barrels and well defined twist pattern. Scattered pitting overall, with dents on the muzzles and a crack in the right barrel towards the breech. Traces of the original case pattern remain on the locks, with light handling marks. Stock is fair, with replaced contoured sections in the right side of the stock to accommodate the hammer and frizzen, along with scattered handling marks and crude recheckering of the replaced wrist section. Mechanically fine.
