Condition report:
The metal surfaces show a mix of original bluing on the barrel and a heavily thinned, brown patina on the receiver with scattered light surface oxidation and handling marks. The wood furniture remains solid but shows typical scratches and dings consistent with age and field use, including a permanent circular wood patch repair on the right side of the stock. The bore was not physically inspected but the external muzzle shows light wear. The break-action and external hammer appear to function mechanically, though the firearm has not been test-fired. The plastic buttplate shows minor edge wear and surface scuffs.
