Just two quick shots, sorry for the quality, will post better detailed pictures when I get the chance. Most exposed metal was covered with crud and light surface rust, cleaned up very good, leaving a nice patina. Barrels show lots of pattern remaining, do have several dents and pitting in bores, with a slightly loose bottom rib. Wood shows use and damage. Buttstock is cracked in several areas (head, tangs). Hammer's still have plently of tension, very firm and crisp! Action is a little loose, but a couple of shims have temporarily tightened things up. These pictures don't do it justice, (as said, will post better ones) really pleased with how well the metal cleaned up. (hoppes oil and some extra fine steel wood) I don't think she looks too bad for 139 years old!
