Actually, the condition would throw up lots of flags in a collector. 95% is basically nothing but safe rash on a gun that old, and while possible that the gun sat in a closet (a nice dry closet) with regular oil for 110+ years, a reblue would be much more likely. We have plenty of regulars here that can judge conditions, reworks or irregularities much better than me, so post some pictures.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
