The barrels are fitted to the coin finished action which is engraved in the Diana Grade pattern with flowing scroll designs surrounding four game scenes depicting a flock of mallards in a marsh on the right, a covey of pheasant in a wooded scene on the left, a pair of quail on the underside, and a pair of rabbits on the triggerguard all in fine detail with darkened backgrounds to create contrast. The engraving is signed "R.RISACK" on both sides below the scene for FN engraver Raymond Risack. The gun features a single gold trigger and tang mounted safety/selector with gold "S", "O", and "U" indicators. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered Lightning forend with engraved fittings and round knob long tang pistol grip stock with "J/R/H" in the inscription oval and a Browning recoil pad. Included are two matching numbered barrel sets; one 20 gauge measuring 26 1/2 inches featuring modified/full chokes and 3 inch chambers, the other 12 gauge measuring 28 inches with skeet/skeet chokes and 2 3/4 inch chambers. Also included are three sets (20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore) of barrel inserts with their own ejectors, a case for the inserts, and a factory Naugahyde Hartmann takedown case for the gun and barrel sets.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, retaining 98% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, some freckling of discoloration in the coin at the top of the action and tang, a few minor scratches on the wood, replaced recoil pad, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel sets are very fine/excellent and the cases are very good/fine.
