Rating Definition:

Very good. The shotgun retains 90% plus of the blue finish on the barrels showing overall thinning, some light scratches and wear at the muzzles. The casehardened receiver, break lever and trigger have darkened with age. The forearm and stock are very good as refinished with light handling marks, a few scratches and minor pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
