Rating Definition:

Good. The metal surfaces have a mottled silver gray patina with some light oxidation on the barrel. The brass has an aged patina. The rear ramrod pipe is loose, the ramrod is absent and the frizzen spring is broken with most of the upper portion absent. The stock is good with exception of a clean repaired break on the forearm and overall some scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The stock remains solid. The lock markings are clear. The action is very good.
