Absolutely it is indeed wonderful - few marks and pristine- actually no worse than mine and my rifle was built in 86. I am a bit rough on stuff, according to Taylor.

It will indeed be interesting to measure the rate of twist.

Many rifles of that period had really fast rates of twist - up to a turn in 36" even and not suitable at all for heavy loads with round balls at all.

They would shoot weak loads, reasonably well, though Forsyth called them wounding loads - as he talked about 1 1/2 to 2 dram loads.

I am hoping it will shoot at least 3 drams (82gr.), to make it a decent deer rifle - and probably handle a moose out to 100yards or so, but I would prefer a bit more sneeze to it.

I expect they (Taylor and 'is wife) will drive down to pick it up in Kelowna, B.C., rather than trust the mail service with it.
