Again, thank you all for your help.
The gun does in fact have its original pad. The wood is ordinary, appropriate to the grade, and has numerous handling marks, as well as what appears to be a worm hole in the forend checkering. The blue has only a couple small marks and appears to be more of a matte finish than a bright blue. There are only the two choke tubes. There is no case.
I have offered $1500, and they responded with $1800 as the best they can do. I will pass.
Regards,
Emmett Boylan
