Manufactured in 1954 and subsequently custom engraved. The barrel has a gold inlaid band at the muzzle and breech with a spray of floral scroll coming from the muzzle on either side of the ramped beaded blade front sight, and one coming up the center from the breech. The sides of the action are outlined with gold with large leaf floral scroll on a punch dot background on either side of the loading gate, and a central spray in the middle of the left side. The loading lever is gold inlaid to match with a light curl of gold at either end of the wire inlay. Mounted with a magnificently figured multipoint checkered walnut forend with engraved nosecap and pistol grip stock with Old English recoil pad.

Very fine as custom engraved and gold inlaid, retaining 99% plus professionally refinished blue finish with a few minor handling marks, a softened barrel proof, and crisp engraving. Wood is also very fine with a hairline crack coming off the right side of the upper tang, a few minor scuffs and dings, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
