The barrels are fitted to a casehardened Jones Rotary Underlever backaction which displays scroll engraving and features rebounding hammers, and double triggers. The gun is mounted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with blank silver inscription oval and a J. C. Higgins recoil pad. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 11 lbs. 13 oz. Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection

ConditionVery good as restored, retaining 98% rebrowned finish, traces of original case colors in the protected areas with the balance a fine grey, and light handling evidence. The wood has an oversized recoil pad, some chipping on the loose forend, and crisp wood checkering. Mechanically excellent.
