It has a nice finish patina, brass fixtures have a smooth mustard patina. Barrel & locks are silver toned, with some cleaned rust pitting & speckling. Stamped ''H'' inspectors mark at the top of the brass backstrap. Also stamped ''H. Aston'' & ''MIDDtn CONN 1852'' on right side lock, although both are difficult to read due to wear & pitting. The smooth bore is good, but with some roughness, appears to function properly. Unique fixed pivot fixed & sliding ramrod.
