Forearm has minor chips at the bbl channel and a repaired crack and has had an amateur attempt to recut the checkering. There appears to be a very old spliced piece near the left tip of the forearm. It blends very well and is barely noticeable. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bores with some scattered crud in the left side that should clean. 4-53754 (1,200-2,000)
