The bottom of both barrels are numbered to the gun and there are various British proofs on the barrel flats.

The engraving pattern extends to the trigger guard, break lever and forearm hardware. There is a sling eye mounted on the underside of the barrels.

Rating Definition:

Partially refinished, the barrels, with 95% of the factory quality blue finish remaining, with some scattered thinning to plum. The trigger guard retains 50% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The bottom receiver plate retains 80% original thinning blue finish. The action retains 75% original case colors with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The forearm hardware has a smooth gray patina with strong original case colors in the protected area of the latch. The wood is excellent overall with a series of minor dents on the underside of the stock behind the initial oval, otherwise light handling marks and crisp checkering. The forend insert has been re-glued and there is some insect damage to the buttplate. The markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically excellent.
