I would consider this a "very fine" funeral gun.

revdocdrew's post rings a bell to me. Im pretty sure I read that somewhere, but cant think of what book it was in. I also remember reading that sometimes the gunmakers would send the guns to their clients before final finishing and engraving to test them out, see if they liked it, etc, and then they never sent the gun back. One hypothesis to "funeral" guns I suppose. I also remember reading that some of them may have soft actions because they didnt get sent back to the factory to be case hardened? Ill have to do some digging for the book this was in.
