Stock is sound with a few minor surface mars and retains virtually all of its fine orig finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Case has a long scratch in lid, otherwise shows normal use & handling with a sliver missing from lower left front edge and a long section of front dust rail missing, otherwise is sound and retains a dark oiled finish. Interior is slightly faded with very light soil. 4-59593 JR316 (15,000-25,000)
