Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrels remains largely intact with some light surface freckling visible on the ventilated rib. The receiver shows finish wear and silvering, particularly on the underside and along the sharp edges. The bores are bright and the action appears to function correctly, though it has not been test-fired. The wood stock and forend retain a high-gloss finish with scattered minor handling marks and impressions consistent with field use. The recoil pad remains supple.
