The .69 caliber barrel was originally finished brown but the finish fades as you move towards the muzzle. Barrel surface is free of pitting but there is some light surface scratching at the breech. The front blade sight is present with the bayonet lug forward of the sight just under the muzzle. The rear sight with its two flip-up leaves is also present. Barrel is faintly marked on top behind rear sight with “P.S. JUSTICE / PHILAD.” in two lines. Bore is dark and very dirty bright. Rifling is visible.

Lock plate matches the barrel. Lock has a rounded front and a rounded point at rear. Lock is marked forward of the hammer with a strong “P.S. JUSTICE / PHILAD.” in two lines. Action is strong and works well. Nipple is original.
