Condition report:

The shotgun shows moderate field wear consistent with regular use. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains largely intact but displays areas of thinning, light scratches, and scattered small patches of surface oxidation and freckling, particularly on the bolt and top of the barrel. The walnut furniture shows several minor scuffs, scratches, and small chips to the glossy finish, primarily located on the buttstock and the underside of the forend. The checkering remains well-defined. The bore is bright with no significant pitting observed. Mechanical function has not been independently verified.
