Built with blued steel chopperlump barrels featuring a single brass bead sight on the matted flat solid rib which shows scroll engraving at the base around a gold inlaid "1", factory markings, single band of engraving at the breech, 1998 dated Spanish proof marks on the flats, and chambers marked 3 inches with automatic ejectors.

U.S.A." on the underside. The gun features bushed firing pins, double triggers, gold centerline cocking indicators on either lockplate, and tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and Anson button release and a straight grip stock with a silver initial oval engraved "W/N/L" and a skip-line checkered bare butt. Included is a second set of matching 28 inch barrels with a gold "2" at the base of the rib and 3 inch chambers.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, a few scratches on the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The case and extra barrel set are also excellent.
