Fluid steel barrels with sunken tapered matted top rib and steel front bead. Barrels with proper proof marks on flats, bottom rib with factory installed sling swivel. Unengraved action is beautifully case colored and fences are nicely floral sculptured. Opening lever is nitre blued and marked "Darne" on top. Round knob buttstock is checkered in two point pattern with sling swivel mounted near toe and 14-3/8" LOP over a modern black Pachmayr brand pad. There is a 2" x 1-1/2" repair at the toe. Blued trigger guard. Attached splinter sized forearm is checkered in two point pattern. Accompanied by a two toned brown leg-o-mutton case. Very good as partially refurbished. Barrels retain approximately 95% of a professionally restored finished. Buttstock with repair as noted above retains most of what appears to be its original finish with finish added for preservation. Checkering is slightly thinned. Forearm appears sound. Action retains more than half of its original color, starting to fade on bottom and on right side, stronger on left. Bores are shiny with beginning orange peel. Mechanics are fine. Case is very good.
