Likely built as a standard grade gun and subsequently upgraded to the current configuration with blued Winchester Proof Steel barrels featuring dual white bead sights on the matted concave solid rib, 3 inch wedges of floral scroll engraving at either breech, chokes marked "MOD"/"FULL", and 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a blued action which displays highly attractive Winchester 21-6 pattern engraving consisting of near full coverage floral scrollwork surrounding four game scenes as well as the serial number inlaid in gold on the upper tang. The left side shows a setter in a field scene, the right shows a pointer in a field scene, the underside shows a pair of pheasant cocks in a field scene, and a bust of a pointer on the triggerguard all rendered in lovely high detail. The gun is signed on the triggerplate to the left of the trigger "A.TUSCANO" for American engraver Anthony "Tony" Tuscano. The gun features a gold plated single selective trigger and tang mounted manual safety with gold inlaid "SAFE" indicator. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and fancy 21-B pattern fleur-de-lis checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings, rotary latch release with gold line, and ebony tip inlay as well as a pistol grip stock with matching fleur-de-lis checkering, engraved blue steel grip cap, blank gold inscription oval, and a Kick-Eez recoil pad. Barrel measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .734/.731 inches; choke constriction .012/.035 inches; minimum wall thickness .025/.026 inches. Stock measurements: 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 1 5/8 inch drop at heel; 13 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 7 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall as professionally upgraded to current configuration, retaining 99% blue finish with some patches of thinning, minor handling evidence, slight gap at the wood to lower tang fit, crisp engraving, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
