Very nice! If you've not shot it 60 years, and it's just been sitting unused, the first order of business is to get it a good cleaning. That might correct those issues.
Again, a very nice gun.

One significant issue that I see is that the barrel will close but will not lock. The top lever stays extended and forearm latch lever will not close completely. I don't remember this being a problem the last time I fired it - 60 years ago. I may be overlooking something simple or it may need a gunsmith's attention.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Thanks,
