Yeh, the muzzles to me seemed to be the most abused. The stocks have some typical dings and the metal has some scratches and freckles, but the muzzles seem like they have taken a beating a couple of times. The front edge of the right muzzle appears to have been scraped too. If you look from the front, the left looks more scraped than dented I think. Either way, I they they can be touched up unobtrusively. With most old guns like this, I usually try to deep clean eveything; sonic clean, soak the filth off the stock, properly relube the innards etc. I am always careful to not affect the originality, just get rid of the crud.
I need to see the barrels before I know exactly what I have, but LS&B have fenerally been reliable in their descriptions.
I thought right up to the end I would be able to get this gun for a lot less. It hung in at 1300 then 1500 until the last few minutes, but one bidder was persistent. I had placed 3 progressive bids as a phsycological barrier, but he stopped at about $25 from my max bid.
