Opinions Please (Multiple Pictures)

I have been looking at a Jones BLNE 12g that I found on the net for sale by a private party.

Here are the specs that the seller gave me;

28" bbls, double triggers
> Stock dimensions: neutral cast on nice wood , 14 1/4 - 1 5/8 - 2 3/8
> Greener cross bolt, action tight, on face, no wobble.
> 2 3/4 inch ! not 2 1/ 2 inch
> proofed for 1 1/8 oz loads
> choked 1/2 and 5/8
> Reddish English walnut to horn buttplate
> good scroll engraving
> 6 1/2 lbs
> marked " New Barrels by Carswell" ( If it's sleeved I can't see the joint.)
> Proofs indicate proof after 1925 and again after 1989
> R Jones located in Yorkshire thru 1990, while Carswell was from Liverpool.
> Shotgun has both Birmingham and London proofs. Carswell purchased Jones, exact date unknown, but relatively recently.
> I bought this about 6 yrs ago from Duncan Hill at Hill Rod and Gun in Bozeman. Shot less than
> 5 bx through since that time.
