The blue barrel shows some light surface rust along the flats. There is good rifling with some pitting to the bore. The lock bears the makers name and the receiver retains approximately 30% of case colors. The trigger guard retains 50% of original blue. The English walnut pistol grip stock has clear and defined checkering and is unblemished except for a few minor scratches to the butt stock. Fine condition.
