The underside of the receiver is marked "WILK'S SAFETY FIRE ARMS U.S.A./PATENT NR. 1898651" ahead of the trigger guard. Attractive checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forearm with engraved fittings, scalloped horn grip cap, and serrated horn buttplate.

The wood is fine with numerous small dings and scratches, rich color, and some small scattered edge chips. Mechanically excellent.
