A full inspection of this one will come later after I pick it up. I only got a look as I got to the dealer too late to do the paperwork.
It's a definate keeper. VG wood, though rough with no dents or dings. Blueing overall is about 85-90% excluding butt plate of course. Bore quality will be a mystery until I dig the cosmoline out, (we're talking full load here gents!), but the bit I could see towards the muzzel end looked pretty darn good. The whole gun looks like it was dipped in cosmoline a dozen times! Nothing matches serial number wise as seems typical. The trigger guard looks new. Not refinished, but brand spanking new.
This one should clean up very nicely and be a definate shooter (I promise I'll shoot this one Schuetz).:D
If I can dig up a digital camera I'll post picks.
