The barrels are fitted to the coin finished action which is engraved in the classic 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 over matted background. The gun is signed "L.LAMBERT" on both sides of the action for the FN engraver that executed the engraving. The gun features a single gold trigger and tang mounted safety/selector with gold "S", "O", and "U" indicators.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, a tiny area of spotting on the forend latch, and some dried grease on the action. The revarnished wood is very fine with some thin spots, a few minor marks, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
