Originally manufactured as a training rifle, later gold inlaid and engraved by Master Engraver J. Lowe, who was employed by New York City based luxury jewelry and specialty retailer Tiffany & Co. as late as 2013. Other known J. Lowe work of the same high caliber craftsmanship has been seen on Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Features a ramped brass bead blade front and rib mounted fixed notch with additional folding leaf rear sights fitted on the blued barrel marked "cal5,5-22 long rifle" on the left side, with oak leaf pattern engraving at the chamber and on the barrel band. The French grey receiver is further embellished with oak leaf pattern relief engravings, along with a gold inlaid rabbit on the left and squirrel on the right, with the chamber retaining the original "MAS/Mod.45" marking. The bolt is multi-checkered and blued, while the French grey trigger housing follows a similar relief pattern to the receiver with additional checkerboard patterns, "J LOWE 2015" signed just ahead of the magazine well, and a gold inlaid crow roosted on the bottom of the trigger guard. Fitted in a finely figured walnut Mannlicher pattern stock with engraved French grey tip, French grey forend sling swivel, multi-point checkering, skeletonized casehardened steel grip cap and buttplate with niter screws, and Monte Carlo pattern cheek rest. Topped off with a Leupold 1-4x scope with French grey rings embellished to match the receiver. Includes four extra magazines.

Excellent as professionally custom embellished by Master Engraver J. Lowe, retaining 97% plus blue and French grey finishes with minor discoloration on the receiver and rings, but otherwise limited handling evidence. The stock is also excellent with attractive contrasting figure and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The scope is also excellent with mostly clear optics.
