Rating Definition:

Good. The shotgun has a mottled brown/gray patina with scattered scratches and dings. The action is good with some of the casehardening bright in the protected areas. The wood is good with some minor dings and gouges and worn checkering with a large chip repaired at the toe. The horn buttplate is good with some small slivers of horn missing overall. Barrels are slightly loose, otherwise action is fine.
