The butt plate and frame retain traces what appears to be factory nickel plate as does the fore end cap, the barrel and magazine chute shows 50-70% toning original blue. There is some scattered erosion, slight pin prick pining, minorscratching, and normal metal age. the markings are sharp, the edges crisp, stock lightly refinished, probably when a professional gun smith checkered the stock long ago. Most likely during period of use. No factory letter at time of cataloging,action good, bore good. A combination of interesting, desirable, and researchable features. This rifle belonged to an old time rancher from the Verde Valley.
