Ramrod appears to be a blacksmith made replacement. CONDITION: Good with a pleasing patina and light to moderate pitting. Lock markings are worn but legible. Stock is very worn with no visible cartouches, with a repaired break through the wrist. Bore has pitting with good rifling. Lock is in fine working order. GR
