Interior is lined in green cloth with Cashmore label. CONDITION: Very fine as partially refinished. Bbls retain virtually all of a high quality satin rust blue with thumbnail size area of light pitting 4″ back from muzzles on bottom of right bbl. Engraving is slightly washed. Action retains 5-10% muted case color under fences, and has mostly silvered to gray. Lockplates retain a considerable amount of their original case color, that has muted over time. Stocks retain most of an oil finish, with numerous handling marks and dings under that finish, some of which are fairly deep. Checkering is slightly worn and dirty, and has not been re-cut. Recoil pad is new. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time. Bores are fine, bright and shiny, with a few minor small pits, and evidence of a few dents having been removed. Case leather is stained, dry, with numerous marks and scuffs. Straps are older replacements in good condition. Original handle is still intact, but very tender. Interior cloth appears to be good with some areas of re-lining. Label is new reproduction. This is a nicely balanced, fast handling, original heavy proof game gun. 4-39197 MGM19 (6,000-8,000)
