Just picked up an 1884 Trapdoor cadet Mk2. I think they made about 20,000 cadets so not all that common to start with.
While the stock has some bruising the metal work is damn near perfect with just the occasional blemish, as is the color case hardening (looks like a refurb but that would not happen in oz. No one does color case hardening).
Looking at the bore, breechblock, firing pin and hammer I would say it is unfired.
The question is....
Should I use it or lock it up???
