Good. Brls with about half of their damascus pattern remaining. There is one significant dent in left tube 6 inches from muzzle. Checkering with forend mostly visible. Tip appears to be an old professional replacement. Frame has drifted to gray. Locks with about 30% of their original case color remaining. Buttstock with scattered impressions, old scratches, and checkering beginning to fill in. Buttplate is mostly sound with scratches and thinning on right side at heel. Shotgun bores with some pitting throughout. Rifle bore with some pitting ahead of chamber but mostly bright. Case is fair. A very interesting and exceedingly rare 4 brl gun made for the American market. ANTIQUE.
