This carbine, with a preauction estimate of $6500 to $9500 is surely spectacular, right?

Except the lower tang is proud to the wood, and not the other way around, and there’s an obvious repaired crack at the wrist.

I would like to see more photographs, but a possible reblue and the lever is likely recasecoloured. So, 6500 to 9500 seems about right to me—in dimes! ($650 to $950)
