Lock and triggerguard were missing, we have included one of each that may be able to be modified and fitted to the gun. 29" barrel of about .66" caliber. Stock good, shows average light use, has some cracking in the lock/triggerguard area, which does not seem to have play. Sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
