The barrel shows traces of original plate drifted to grey metal with some light to moderate erosion and pinprick pitting and some slightly heavier pitting on the right front sight of muzzle. The frame shows 50-60% original silver drifting at the edges with some slight wear at the high point where the bolt locks the barrel and some slight filing there. The grips are very good with 50-60% varnish. The markings are good, generally good overall. The engraving is definitely to the 19th century and the small parts and screws show considerable original color. From the Howard “Bud” Goebel collection. Est: $1,500 - $3,000
