Relatively plain dense European walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 14-5/16″ over Silvers type pad. Borderless checkering is at 16 LPI.

Bbls retain virtually all of fine quality brown with good definition to Damascus pattern. Action and lock plates are finished bright. Stocks have most of an old hand rubbed oil refinish, over a number of nicks and dings. Checkering has not been re-cut, and is slightly worn. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Locks are crisp. Bores are smooth, bright and shiny. Leather on case is dark and there are some areas of separation that have been repaired. Hasp has detached and is in case. New straps and handle. Interior has been renovated, and is fine. A neat old gun, one wonders where it’s been, and what it has seen. 4-38968 MGM84 (22,500-27,500)
