CONDITION
Metal is good overall. Barrels are beginning to form a gray patina. About 50% finish remaining. Lock has wear and some signs of cleaning. Some finish from the wood has found its way onto the lock plates. Wood has minor scuffs and scratches. Forearm has putty on the inside for proper fit but has some "slide". Shotgun bores have light pits. Rifle bore has a frosted surface. Some pits near the chamber. Good overall rifling. Tang safety does not seem to be working. Hammers and action are both tight.
