Manufactured in 1956. The barrel has standard markings and is inlaid with a gold band at the muzzle and two at the breach with a trio of relief cut oak leaves off the breach. The receiver displays panels on either side with the left having a bear, elk, and white-tail bust and the right having a bison and pronghorn bust. Both panels have stippled backgrounds with scattered oak leaf clusters, leafy and gold wire loop borders. The perimeter of the receiver is engraved with a relief oak leaf motif. The engraving flows down the receiver tangs and the top of the action as well as having the gold wire inlaid motifs are mimicked on the sides of the lever. The action is signed "N. Hartliep/94" above the loading gate. Mounted in a beautifully figured smooth walnut forend and straight grip stock with checkered buttplate.

Excellent overall as embellished by Neil Hartliep, retaining 97% blue finish with light handling marks, some light pitting, a spot of discoloration on the magazine tube, and crisp engraving. Mechanically excellent.
