The action looks very bright in the pictures is why I think it may be lightly brushed. It also could be the lighting. This is an action has the cocking indicators and most would have had Damascus barrels with 29” barrels. Can you tell if these are the original barrels? As far as wall thickness, 21 or 22 thou wouldn’t bother me depending on the location. If the barrels are nice, $5k is a great price.
