Engraved c. the early first half of the 20th century by Master Engraver Henry "Harry" A. Kell. Kell engraved for many of the best English firearms manufacturers including John Dickson & Son, Holland & Holland, and J. Purdey & Sons. This example shows extensive floral scroll engraving on the action surrounding circular deer and moose scenes on the left and right respectively. The engravers signature is on top of the takedown collar which has matching scroll engraving. The animal scenes appear heavily inspired by those executed by the Ulrich Master Engravers for Winchester around the time, and may be the work of one of them surrounded by the scroll of Kell. The top of the action has Winchester oval "WP" and "P" proofs. The serial number was obfuscated during the engraving process. The left side of the lower tang is marked "3103 XXX SBC", with "3097" marked in the stock inlet. The No. 3 weight barrel has the Winchester address but is not proofed. It is mounted with a finely figured and H-pattern checkered Schnabel tip forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber shotgun buttplate. Includes a modern hard case.

Fine as professionally upgraded/refinished, with much of the dull blue on the barrel, traces blue on the receiver which is mostly bright, crisp engraving, and the factory-made deluxe replacement wood having some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
