Masterfully embellished to near mint condition by Angelo Bee. The shotgun retains 99% blue finish with some thinning on the high point of the tang safety. The 410 barrel set has some heavy rust around one of the rib posts and a couple of other small areas of rust on top of the barrel rib. The breech end sides of the barrel show some wear from the forearm. The 28 and 20 gauge barrel sets retain 97% blue finish with some wear from the forearm. All three forearms are excellent with only a few light handling marks and sharp checkering. The stock is also excellent with a few light scratches and handling marks, with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with some scratches, scuffs, and minor corner wear on the exterior, and some stains on the lining. A chance to own one of America's most iconic shotguns engraved by one of the most prolific master engravers of the 20th century!
