Bbls retain 90% original blue, silvering at muzzles and sharp edges, with a few thin spots. Action and lockplates retain most of their original case color, silvering and muting in normal carry and wear areas, quite vivid where protected. Trigger guard and top lever retain most of their original blue, silvered on high points and at grip. Stocks retain most of their original oil finish, with some oil rubbed in over the years. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are out of time. Bores are excellent, bright and shiny, with one very small dent 10″ from muzzle on right bbl. An interesting, strong, and well made gun. 4-40923 MGM127 (3,500-5,000)
