Manufactured in 1937 and subsequently masterfully upgraded with fine engraving and gold inlay by the hand of a skilled engraver. The gun has a blued steel barrel featuring dual bead sights on the matted solid rib, standard markings, attractive scroll engraving at the breech and on the receiver extension, 3 inch chamber, and choke marked "SKEET". The barrel is fitted to the blued action which displays highly attractive scroll engraving and gold inlaid line borders surrounding a retriever flushing a pair of grouse in a field on the left, a pair of quail being flushed by a dog on the right, and a solitary quail on the triggerguard, all rendered in relief gold inlays. The gun is fitted with a gorgeous highly figured and double diamond checkered forend and a straight grip stock with single diamond checkering at the wrist and a Winchester red rubber recoil pad. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 11/16 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 13 oz.

Very fine as expertly custom embellished/upgraded, retaining 99% blue finish, 99% gold finish with some darkening and loss of detail, minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
