Here is another.

You can see it has a hideous stock repair. Actually looks better than most, but this is so unnecessary when doing it right is so easy. anyway, if the bore is good (and I question the seller's description), it would seem pretty typical. The caliber is a good one but I would wonder if a relining or reboring (.45-70?) might be in order. One could buy this one and then surf the net for a while looking for better original stock. They show up fairly frequently, especially in the straight grip configuration.
Another price point (towards the low end of useable), I think it is probably a little too high. I don't know how long it has been for sale.
