Serial Number: 14038
Condition: Excellent. The barrels, break lever and trigger guard retain 98% original blue finish with a few light scratches and handling marks on the barrels and some normal usage wear on the break lever. All of the coin finish remains, dulling slightly on the bottom of the receiver. The wood has been freshened with a coat of varnish and remains very good with several minor scuffs and scratches on the stock and overall some minor dings and dents, with crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
