I'm using this as a guideline.
NRA MODERN GUN CONDITION STANDARDS:



NEW: Not previously sold at retail, in same condition as current factory production.



PERFECT: In New condition in every respect. (Jim's note - in my experience, many collectors & dealers use "As New" to describe this condition).



EXCELLENT: New condition, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing perfect, (except at muzzle or sharp edges).



VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting, only minor surface dents or scratches.



GOOD: In safe working condition, minor wear on working surfaces, no broken parts, no corrosion or pitting that will interfere with proper functioning.



FAIR: In safe working condition but well worn, perhaps requiring replacement of minor parts or adjustments which should be indicated in advertisement, no rust, but may have corrosion pits which do not render article unsafe or inoperable.
 
I agree with Struff and i don't always, esp. with his love for the model 12, but the Stevens may draw more but the rust at the end of the barrel is a deal killer and puts it more in the "fair" condition range.......

Some of us don't always agree with your love for the Krieghoff but we tolerate you anyway. :)
 
Really the first 3 are nothing more than wall hangers in the what I would call poor condition at best.
The Condor might be worth $275.00 FS
