This rifle is new and is unfired. It came out of a local collection where it was lovingly stored in a gun safe. It has beautiful cowboy scenes engraved on the frame. The barrel is 16" with a mint bore and has the large loop lever. The metal has 100% blue and the wood is excellent with no dents, dings or scratches. It comes in the box which was in storage in an attic. It's a little worn but in good condition. Original hang tag is still attached.
