Marked in gold with model and two line address on the left of the barrel and with two gold inlaid bands around the muzzle and gold and scroll engraved floral patterns at the chamber. Features a fine floral scroll engraved and gold inlaid receiver with gold border accents, gold "WINCHESTER/-TRADE MARK-" on the left wall, and serial number in gold on the right side of the receiver ring. The barrel is manufactured without sights, and the top of the receiver is factory drilled and tapped. The floor plate, trigger guard, and grip cap are engraved with the same floral scroll design, with a bighorn ram in the center of the floor plate with gold bordering, with Howard Dove's signature located behind the trigger guard. Howard Dove was known as the "Official Engraver" by the Colt Collectors Association and one of only two engravers in more modern times to be employed by both the Colt custom shop and Winchester at the same time before his death in 1994. He was also a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he served as a member of the Green Berets in country. Jeweled bolt and follower, with checkered ring on the bolt handle. Mounted with an American black walnut pistol grip stock with fancy bordered checkered forearm and wrist, with grip cap, solid rubber recoil pad and sling swivel studs.

Excellent overall as embellished by Master Engraver Howard Dove, retaining 99% plus of original blue finish with a few minor handling marks, including a dent in the cheek rest and crisp stock checkering. Mechanically excellent.
