Split and damage along the full walnut stock towards the end of the barrel which now means the brass barrel is loose and can be lifted slightly from the walnut stock, there are also another couple of minor splits and losses around the edge of that walnut stock.
Other knocks, marks and wear along the brass work but overall a good colour and once restored properly will be an attractive looking piece.
