The back strap has a fan at the top and floral scroll on either end of a blank panel on the back strap and a spray on the butt. The triggerguard is flanked by dot and wavy line engraving with a martial shield on the bow. Includes an Adams & Adams engravers letter confirming the caliber, barrel length, engraving, Turnbull finish, and grips when completed in March of 2005.
