The gun features a single gold plated selective trigger and a tang mounted manual safety.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a few light scratches on the wood, some wear to the recoil pad, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel set is excellent, the case is very fine.
