(930,000-950,000 per Canfield) Barrel and receiver are a mix of patina with the original military matte parkerized finish. Stocks are excellent with no cracks, just the usual small abrasions. Mirror bore and perfect action. Overall a fine condition example of a popular World War II pump action shotgun.
