Condition
Very good as field used and partially restored. Brl Set 1 cut to present length as noted above and retains about 40% factory blue. Bores are near excellent. Brl set 2 retains nearly all of an older professionally restored finish. Buttstock and forend are very good and retain most of an older professionally restored finish with checkering somewhat crudely recut. Frame has toned to mostly gray. Bore on Set 2 are very good. Mechanics are fine throughout. Screw heads show some marring but overall a solid working or rainy day gun! 5603. C&R.   PROVENANCE: Jerry Smith Estate Collection.
