This carbine is in very fine condition to excellent condition. It retains more than 90% of its factory blued finish. There is some finish loss on the trigger guard. There are some small dings and dents on the right side of the barrel behind the front sight blade. the lock and breech block retain about 90% of their cased color with some light finish loss on the breech and some brown spotting on the hammer spur. The bore and mechanics are excellent. The bore is bright and shiny with strong rifling. The stock is very fine, as well, with a few small dings and scratches from use or storage. There are two strong inspector's cartouches on the left flat of the stock. This is an outstanding example of a Model 1864 Joslyn. Stock no. 32260
