The metal surfaces retain a fair amount of original blued finish with notable thinning on the receiver and high edges, along with scattered scratches and spots of surface oxidation. The 28 inch barrel displays similar wear with some light scuffs and minor surface freckling. The bore is not clearly visible in the provided photographs. The walnut furniture shows significant signs of use, including flaking varnish, impressions, and scattered scratches on both the buttstock and forend. The action appears to cycle normally when operated by hand, though mechanical function has not been verified through live fire.
