The factory wood appears near perfect, there is a professionally repaired crack at heel of crescent butt plate. Crescent butt plate is perfect, and fits butt stock perfect. All screws are near perfect. All metal case hardened, looks and appears original at about 50%, there are no noticeable marks on any of the metal. Bore shows corrosion from use with black powder, but appears to have decent rifling top to bottom. Muzzle and crown are very good. Original sites are intact, with original elevator intact. I do not have snap caps for this caliber. Gate on magazine solid, firing pin appears very good. Ejector solid and appears good. Working the lever, it is solid, not sloppy and hammer works as it should. Trigger is crisp with good weight and half cocked safety works. I did not dry fire. This firearm is the nicest, of this vintage, I have come across. It belongs in a museum. I graded it good only because of the bore. Book value is $7500.00. Comes with Winchester letter.
