Good as refinished/reconverted to flintlock configuration some time ago with a dark brown and dark patina on the barrel and a dark brown patina on the balance of the metal surfaces. The brass patch box has numerous dings and marks and has a bit of an aged patina. The stock has been revarnished, and remains good with some repaired cracks on the left side of the forearm area and the forward 5 3/4 inches of the forearm has been pieced in. The toe of the buttplate is ill-fitting. There is a crack on top of the wrist, and overall there are some minor dings and dents. The action is fine.
