Action is smooth, bore is in good shape, crown looks great. According to the serial number it was made in '71 in Belgium not a takedown model. Looked it over, and it seems to be in very good shape, so I went for it. Well, in part thanks to the emphatically positive reactions on this board, I picked it up today.
