Manufactured in 1942 and subsequently beautifully upgraded and elaborately custom embellished to its current configuration. The gun has a blued steel barrel featuring dual bead sights on the matted flat vent rib, wedges of scroll engraving at the breech, a 2 3/4 inch chamber, and choke marked "FULL". The barrel is fitted to the blued action which displays extensive scroll engraving over a matted background which gold inlaid scroll borders surrounding a trio of semi-relief gold inlaid game scenes. The scenes consist of a trio of quail on the left, a single quail on the upper left, a single woodcock on the upper right, and a quartet of mallards on the right. The work is signed "AN" on the right side of the action. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered forend and pistol grip stock with black Winchester grip cap and a Winchester red rubber recoil pad. Stock measurements: 2 inch drop at comb; 2 3/16 inch drop at heel; 13 15/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 1 oz.

Very fine overall as professionally upgraded/custom embellished, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a few tiny scattered freckles of spotting, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
