Some areas of cleaned rust are evident, mostly on left lockplate. Trigger guard is brown to silver. Stocks retain a considerable amount of what appears to be their orig hand rubbed oil finish. Checkering is considerably worn. Action is tight. Both sets of bbls are slightly off face on right side.

Case leather is dark with some minor scuffs. Strap holders and handle are detached. Interior cloth is good with some fraying and soiling from contact with gun. Label is very dark, chipped and cracked. A fine, interesting, as found gun in need of some TLC. 4-46358 MGM39 (4,000-6,000)
