Condition report:
The shotgun shows localized thinning of the bluing and areas of light surface oxidation, notably on the underside of the receiver and near the breech. The bores are bright with no obvious pitting observed. The wood stock and forend retain a high-gloss finish with scattered surface scratches and minor compression marks typical of use. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The red rubber recoil pad shows some hardening and surface cracking consistent with age.
