Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company is the United State's premier shotgun maker and has constructed some of the finest guns ever built on this side of the Atlantic and this gun is no exception. Built with blued steel barrels with a single brass bead sight on the matted vent rib, chambers marked 3 inches with ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a very attractive French grey finished hand detachable sidelock action which displays lovely tight scroll engraving surrounding "DELUXE" and "A-10/AMERICAN" marked on the underside, gold plated pins, and a pair of beautifully executed game scenes which are cut in extensive detail and display a pointer preparing to flush a pair of pheasant cocks in the high grass on the left lockplate and a setter about to flush a pheasant cock on the right lockplate. The gun features a single gold trigger with adjustable length of pull and a tang mounted automatic safety/selector. The gun is mounted in an exceptionally well-figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved and coin finished fittings and a gold variant of the Great Seal of the United States holding shotguns in its talons along with a pistol grip stock with engraved gripcap and factory rubber recoil pad. Includes a takedown case containing a set of snap caps.
