Condition
Very good as modified and updated. Brls with about 85% of what appears to be their original toning blue. Forearm is very good, finish and checkering beginning to thin at carry point and there is an active crack on the right side towards the forearm tip. Frame with more than 40% of its original rainbow color. Trigger guard with about half of its original blue. Buttstock is mostly sound and retains about 90% of its custom finish. Pad is beginning to mushroom. Bores are mostly bright and shiny. Mechanics are very good though top lever catch does not always hold to right. ANTIQUE.
