Trigger guard & back strap retain strong traces of orig thinly applied silver plating. Grip is sound, well fit & crisp with only a couple of minor light nicks in finish and retains virtually all of its bright orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Casing is sound with a longitudinal crack in the lid with typical handling & storage marks. Interior is bright blue with wear, soiling. At least 2 partitions have been repaired and reglued. Flask retains most of its finish on obverse, the reverse is worn and has a moderate dent. Cartridge packet is very good overall and accompanying pack of Hicks percussion cap tin is very good, but of later vintage. 49631-36 JS (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2134
