The shotgun comes in a custom leather hard takedown case with leather corner protectors, hunter green velvet lining and leather Renato Gamba label on the inside of the lid.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The metal surfaces retain all of the original blue, polished coin and gold finish with only light handling/storage marks. The wood is excellent with a few light scratches and handling marks, with sharp checkering.
