Those are some of the clearest proof house stampings I’ve seen in a long time.

A good barrel cleaning and inspection and you should be right as rain.

That’s a nice old gun, well cared for.
CZ,
Just curious as to how you could arrive at such a thorough assessment of this piece from three photos, with none of the buttstock, forend, top or bottom of the frame, or an entire barrel/bores photo? It appears to me to be a decent old brown gun of good lineage, with some potential to be freshened up to a certain point short of full restoration, and nothing more, just by the three photos given.
