The markings are sharp, the edges are good, the breech shows "New Model" marking. The buttplate and patchbox show 75-85% case hardening, as does thefloorplate and lever. The small parts and screws show bright fire blue, the action is tight, the bore is excellent. The stocks are excellent to near new and still a little fuzzy, just some miniscule storage marks. The stocks were nevercartouched, indicating overrun or private or state sale. A gem of a carbine. Est: $4,500 - $9,000
