Here is a really rare one to gaze upon.
It is a Berdan II made in 1883. Yes, that is rare enough but this one is all matching even the cleaning rod! The stock is like new with only minor scuffs and dings ( I shouldn't call them dents) and the barrel looks unfired. Most of these that you find are mismatched and really beat up. I don't know how this one remained so pristine but it is by far the best I have seen anywhere!
