This is what CH Galleries has posted on their website today. I handled the gun Thursday and it had extensive spotting on the outside of the barrels. Not quite pitting but a lot of discoloration. The bores were quite nice. I would defer to George on condition issues beyond this simple observation...he was on site and is their condition authority.
Note: I put the gun up to my shoulder several times and and each time it magically swung across the room and locked onto a good woodcock etching on the far gallery wall.
