Scott, aside from the cracks, is the gun as nice as the pictures show? That was my 2nd choice to look at when I visited Puglisi's, but when Jason said it was spoken for, I did not bother.

Calvin, I did not look at any more guns. I had a budget, and did not want to tempt fate by looking at other 10s!

The locks have been cleaned and reassembled. It pays to invest in a mainspring vise, repro or original! The scratches on the exterior of the lockplates were there when the plates were colored. I had to use my high powered magnifying glass to see them properly. Sorry about my macro photography. One of these days I'll get it! I sure wish other forums could upload photos as easily as this one.

The hammer faces are barely dimpled from use. There is just a little mark in the colors. The stock has a couple of teeny weeny cracks that I will be able to stabilize quite easily. Overall, the gun appears to have been used very little. The bores have some pitting though. As nice as this gun is, I would be willing to place a decent wager on the fact that 90% of the signs of neglect happened after the original purchaser passed away. Maybe not, but I like to think so. As always, Cheers!
