This gun is stocked in high grade burl with a high finish. The fore stock is fitted with a custom pewter nosecap. This gun was possibly custom made as an officers model, or as a gift from Burnside. For the Burnside collector who has everything, he probably doesn’t have this unique custom firearm. CONDITION: This gun overall is in fine condition. Bbl retains 98%+ original blue.
