Rating Definition:

Excellent with 98% original blue finish on the barrels, some light muzzle wear, and small handling marks. The receiver and locks have sharp detailed engraving. The wood is also excellent with crisp checkering, sharp carved accents, and small dings and pressure marks. The shotgun underbarrel appears to have been honed in one area and has become thin. Mechanically excellent. Optics are clear. Case is good with exterior scuffs, patina on the fittings, and slightly loose inner partitions. Case cover is about good with worn leather corners.
