Manufactured in 1932 and subsequently wonderfully upgraded to its current configuration. Built with a blued Winchester proof steel barrel with dual brass bead sights on the matted solid rib with chamber marked 2 3/4 inches, and choke marked full (measures .013 inches of constriction). The chamber and barrel collar are engraved with sprays of light floral scroll on a matted background. The blued receiver displays highly attractive 12-5 pattern style engraving with beautiful scrollwork surrounding game scenes on either side. The left scene depicts a pair of pointers on point as a grouse flushes in a field and the right shows a flock of four mallards in flight over water. The animals are all rendered in fine semi-relief gold inlays showing very nice contrast. The left scene is signed in the rocks at the bottom of the scene with "LC" for an unknown, highly skilled engraver. Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered forend and pistol grip stock with factory grip cap and buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at the comb; 2 1/2 inch drop at the heel; 14 3/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 3 oz.

Very fine as professionally embellished, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, pluming of the barrel, softened receiver edges, and crisp engraving. Wood is very fine with light dings and scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
