Condition report
The barrel and action both show matched proof marks present. The twist of barrel is a little loose but unscrews smoothly and fits well. The spring action for the trigger guard to release the bayonet is fully functional and tight and the spring action to the bayonet is very firm and works swiftly and locks firmly in place. The release button to the bayonet is tight but fucntioning and works well. The nipple is intact and the hammer also which holds firmly in two positions and releases smoothly on the pull of the trigger. There are some minor age related marks to the overall weapon but all commensurate with age.
Light spotting noted , butt clean, no cracks.
