Is "good, honest wear" something to be proud of? Is it synonymous with a "well trashed beater"?

Well, I think I would rather see a gun described that way, than some of the other smoke and mirror descriptions often used. Good Honest Wear, in this case seems to be an apt description. The seller described it, I think, honestly. That old Lefever gave a lot of people a lot of enjoyment over its lifetime, why run it down? They aint all perfect...are they?

I agree, that's neglect not wear.
A great Lefever driven into the ground, but it could be a nice project!!!
