Condition: Fine with approximately half of the original nickel on the barrel and magazine tube. The receiver has been cleaned during period of usage and is absent of all finish. (It could have been gold or silver that just fell off). The deluxe checkered stock and forearm are both very fine with most of their original varnish. Mechanically excellent.
