Condition report:
The metal surfaces retain much of their original bluing with some areas of thinning and scattered light surface oxidation. The one-piece wood stock shows substantial field wear characterized by numerous scratches, scuffs, and dings, mostly concentrated on the buttstock area. The bore was not inspected. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been tested with live ammunition.
