Overall excellent estate condition, barrels posses a beautifully resonant church bell tone, barrel to receiver fit is tight, bores show need for light cleaning yet otherwise bright and shiny, barrel damascus pattern remains discernible, healthy amount of proof marks and maker cartouches adorn the gun throughout, stock and forend wood show attractive amounts of figuring and scattered largely light field marks with a pair of repairable moderate marks along the toe line, checkering is superb especially on the very fine and intricate ribboned patern on the forend.
