Looks like it wasn't used very much. Has pretty much all the case coloring and about 92% bluing left. Wood is very nice. I was actually surprised at how well it handles for a North American gun. Looks good alongside the Flues and Lefever.

What would a 3 be? I thought 1 was cylinder, 2 was improved cylinder, 3 was modified and 4 was full. But I could be wrong. I tried finding out on the net but you can never find anything when you want to.

Also near the front of each barrel flat there should be a number designating the choke of that barrel -- 4 = full, 3 = improved modified, 2 = modified, 1 = improved cylinder and 0 = cylinder.
