Condition report:
The 12-gauge barrel and receiver retain a high degree of their original blued finish with minor surface scratches and handling marks. The additional .410 gauge barrel exhibits more significant surface wear, including thinning of the finish and a consistent brown patina throughout. Both bores are bright. The smooth wood stock and forend are in good condition with occasional light dings and impressions. The break-action lockup is secure and the exposed hammer mechanism appears to function correctly, though the firearm has not been test-fired with live ammunition.
