It is not the highest quality gun ever made. I just thought all the nickle was interesting. The bad is, I need to do some tumbler work on one lock and it is missing the nickle ramrod loops. I bought it as a project and I am happy with it. I just wish people with letter and number stamps could leave things alone. Once I get it cleaned up a bit I will put up some better pictures. The barrels have a very nice twist pattern but are very dark with patina. I will probably card them some; the originality is already quite compromised with the stamps.
