Condition report:
The shotgun is in used condition with significant cosmetic wear. The blued finish on the barrel and magazine tube shows thinning and scattered scratches. There is a heavy, irregular black coating or substance applied to the top of the receiver around the scope mount area. The wood stock and forend show numerous dings and scratches consistent with field use, though the checkering remains functional. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The bore was not inspected.
