Introduced in 1949, this gun was built with a blued steel barrel with a factory installed Lyman Cutts Compensator, factory markings, correct lack of choke markings, a 2 3/4 inch chamber, and wedges of scroll engraving at the breech. The barrel is fitted to a blued receiver with diamonds of scroll engraving on either side, scroll engraving on the top, and hand cut serial number and model marking on the underside at the front ahead of the loading gate. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered forend and pistol grip stock with factory hard rubber grip cap and buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 7/16 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 8 oz.

Very fine overall, retaining 98% original blue finish, 85% original black finish on the Cutts Compensator, a few splotches in the varnish, minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the wood. Mechanically excellent.
