Receiver, forend, and barrels all have matching serial numbers, '02771.' The original blued finish remaining is approximately 95% with light scattered scratches, some minor edge wear, contact wear from the safety selector and a very amount of light surface rust found inside the triggerguard & a coupler spots on the barrels. Bores look excellent and bright, and the action is tight with the top lever resting right of center. Furniture wood is good to very good with a couple moderate blemishes. This shotgun could be Very Good without the observed rust.
