Overall condition of the gun is fair. Though everything - including the forward barrel band - was heavily set in dried up gunoil. It took a little persuasion with a wooden mallet to get everything apart.

The barrel has some shadows in the bore unfortunally, right now it is soaking in a cleaning agent - fingers crossed it is mostly just dirt, copper and lead.
Aside fromt that everything seems to be intact and in working order.

The bolt is engraved, with what I assume are the initials of a previous owner:
