Stocks retain virtually all of their orig finish, with quite a few light marks and dings, mostly on right rear of buttstock, that one would associate with this gun standing in a closet unfired for 90 years. Bores are brilliant. Action is tight. Ejectors are out of time. It would be exceptionally hard to find a better example than this. It is worthy of the finest collection. 4-54781 (5,500-9,500) – Lot 2591
