Type of Finish: Brown and Brass
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bores are dark with scattered moderate-heavy erosion and verdigris.
Overall Condition: The pistol retains about 0% of its metal finish. The trigger guard is tarnished, has some light surface oxidation and some light handling marks. The now browned barrel assembly has some light handling marks, nicks and scuffs. Notably, there is light pitting in the finish which is concentrated on the bottoms of the barrel, verdigris is visible in some of the recesses including around the muzzle. The markings are semi-clear to blurred. The screwheads are only lightly tooled and remain serviceable. Overall, the pistol is in Fair condition due to condition but with a strong mainspring will otherwise rate in about Good condition for an Antique.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The nipple shows heavy use and should be addressed by a competent gunsmith if desired to use the gun. We did not fire this gun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This gun comes with a display built for a corner and has the words “ SKAGAY LAW” pinpricked into it. The display is in fine shape and would make a good display.
