All in all, a rather nice shooter IMO.

Well,
perhaps I should have said "was" severely pitted before the pits were draw filed or reduced in some way and then the block refinished.

I and all should be able to see the pits that remain and the file marks in your picture. Pits are clearly visible on the left side picture at the rear top, and in the channel groove, the file marks are visible in the area that would have had the firing proof- which was also removed by the filing. Pitting is also present in a line at and to the left of the "81" and in the groove at the upper left.

The breech block has been filed enough to leave the mid toggle proud of the breech block forward of the toggle pin.
