Condition report:
The shotgun is in good physical condition. The matte silver-tone finish shows minor scattered surface oxidation, primarily concentrated near the muzzle of the barrel and on the receiver flats. The black finish on the hammer and trigger guard exhibits light thinning and wear from use. The synthetic furniture is well-preserved with only light scuffing and minor handling marks. The bore is bright with no significant pitting visible. The break-action mechanism and hammer appear to function correctly, though the firearm has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
