Gun metal receiver was cleaned long ago with some of the edges slightly rounded and is drifting back to a pleasant mustard yellow patina. Tang mark is sharp and clear. Lower tang screw is broken. Hammer and lever both show deep brown patina. Stocks are very good, full sized with mars and dents commensurate with the age of the rifle. There are some white paint stains on the left side from hanging on a wall. Buttplate has also been lightly cleaned and is developing its own mustard yellow patina. Steel forend cap is a deep gray brown patina. A nice example of a 1866 rifle that obviously hung on a wall for many years. 51726-1 TEP (2,750-3,000)
