The barrels are mated to a handsome coin finished sideplated action which displays extensive scroll engraving surrounding a trio of gold game scenes and extending onto the triggerguard, toplever, and both tangs. The game scenes show a covey of flushing pheasant on the left, a pair of quail in flight on the underside, and a flock of mallards landing on a pond on the right, all cut in detailed semi-relief gold inlay.

The gun features a single trigger and a tang mounted manual safety/selector with gold inlaid "S", "O', and "U" indicators. The gun is fitted with outstanding, highly figured and multi-point checkered three-piece forend with engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered bare butt.
