Condition report:
The shotgun is in good overall condition. The blued finish on the barrels shows areas of thinning and minor handling marks. The case coloring on the receiver remains visible but shows wear on the high points and edges. The walnut furniture is sound with several surface scratches and small dings, particularly on the left side of the buttstock. The bores are bright with no significant pitting observed. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
