Description:

Features a stepped barrel without iron sight provisions. The trigger guard and magazine floor plate are floral scroll engraved with buck and bear game scenes. The triggerguard is signed with the initials "GC", likely for FN engraver Gino Cargnel. The trigger is plated in gold. The receiver is also floral scroll engraved with elk and prong horn game scenes. The receiver is stamped with the serial number below the stock line. The pronghorn scene is signed "J BAERTEN" for FN Master Engraver Jose Baerten. Mounted in a floral carved walnut pistol grip stock with contrasting forend and grip caps, brass diamond initial plaque on the grip cap, Monte Carlo cheekpiece, and Browning buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 99% plus original French grey finish on the receiver and 97% refinished blue finish on the barrel with limited handling marks, softened markings causing the proofs and serial number to be illegible, and otherwise crisp engraving. The stock is very good with a crack off the right side of the triggerguard. Mechanically excellent.
