Condition report:
The barrels retain a significant portion of their blued finish with thinning evident at the muzzles and scattered light surface scratches. There are patches of light oxidation and superficial pitting present on the exterior barrel surfaces and the receiver. The receiver’s case-hardened finish is faded but remains present across the frame. The walnut furniture shows moderate handling wear including scattered dings, small impressions, and darkened spots consistent with field use. The bores were not physically inspected and the mechanical function has not been independently verified.
