Good as period converted to percussion. The steel shows a mixed gray patina overall, and some scattered spotting and handling marks. Minor pitting is present around the muzzle and nipple. The stock is fair, with light cracking at the tip and scattered dings. The modern case is good, with light handling marks overall. Mechanically very good.
