There is a very short and minor split to the toe of the butt around 9mm long, there is also a split emanating from the top side nail running up towards the barrel, this can be seen in image 7 online. The metal work has overall pitting, the muzzle crown is worn presumably from the use of the swivel ramrod. The bore has overall pitting inside. The cock has been replaced, it wobbles slightly around its axis and does not fit tightly to the lock plate as you would expect. The action works, however the mainspring is either a replacement or on its way out as it does not have the strength of a military firearm.
