The gun is in overall good condition by way of metal, with a decent amount of original finish remaining. The barrels particularly are very nice. There IS something odd going on with the buttstock. My first thoughts were that the head may be cracked and spreading (as some others suggested), but I kind of think that the stock MAY be a replacement from another gun and a larger frame size. Your guns is a 1 frame. The stock on it may be from a 2 frame gun, which is wider a the action. The buttstock seems to be a little bit of a mismatch to the rest of the gun. And the amount that the wood is proud from the action does not match gapping at the tangs. Which makes me think larger replacement stock.
