Unfortunately the gun was not not in very good condition which was very disappointing. very loose action, the wrist of the stock was cracked all the way through, non original and poorly matched fore end, terrible bores with deep gouges and pits, damaged screws and badly repaired parts were the main faults.
Underneath its rough appearance you could still see it would have been a higher quality rifle 100 years ago and i will keep my eyes open for something similar but in much better condition.
Thanks for your help everyone anyway!
