The action was manufactured in 1937 as subsequently beautifully upgrade to the current configuration. The rifle has a blued Winchester Proof Steel barrel which features an Germanic scroll engraved ramped hooded beaded blade front sight, a front sling stud, filler block in the rear sight dovetail, two separate wedges of Germanic scroll engraving around the factory markings, and "GRIFFIN & HOWE" engraved on the top of the barrel. The barrel is marked "222 REMINGTON" below the factory markings with "22 HORNET" lightly struck out. The barrel is mated with a blued action which displays a matching engraved Griffin & Howe scope mount holding a Weaver K4 60-B scope and an engraved bolt handle with acorn style knob. The bottom metal is engraved with more Germanic scroll, a classically styled running bull elk on the floorplate in beautiful detail, and a "JL" monogram on the triggerguard. The rifle is mounted is a gorgeous highly figured and multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with horn forend tip, engraved trapdoor grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, rear sling stud, and a blued steel checkered trapdoor buttplate. While the work on this rifle is highly attractive, the Griffin & Howe marking is spurious.

Very fine as professionally upgraded, retaining 90% of the blue finish with most of the loss on top of the barrel, some softening and subsurface pits on the floorplate, minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the stock. Mechanically excellent. Scope optics clear.
