The nipple shows signs of pitting but still functional. The hammer and receiver show a lovely hand engraved scroll design. Trigger and hammer operate as intended. The stock shows a hand checkered straight grip and fore grip. No serial number. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
