Condition
Overall excellent condition. Nearly new with bright case colors. Brass fixtures a pleasing even mustard color. Wood a beautiful color, has some wear around cap box. Bore excellent. A little wear at muzzle were bayonet sits. The bayonet is in great shape. But the leather is a bit crazed and cracked and all the stitching is popped only holding itself together with the two brass ends. Action functions mechanically.
