Manufactured in 1968 and built with a blued barrel featuring a hooded beaded blade front, folding leaf rear sights, and standard factory markings. The barrel is fitted to the blued receiver which displays highly attractive floral scroll engraving over a matted background surrounding a gold bordered and gold inlaid game scene on either side, showing a trio of pronghorn antelope on the left and a trio of whitetail on the right. The engraving is signed "GINO" at the bottom of the left scene and "ABEE" in the scroll at the bottom left, indicating that the game scenes were cut by FN Master Gino Cargnel and the scroll by Master Angelo Bee. The rifle is fitted with a beautifully figured and vine carved and checkered forend and pistol grip stock with a blank gold inscription oval and a factory buttplate. Included is a full length factory Naugahyde case.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence. There is a tiny crack at the left side of the forend at the junction with the receiver; otherwise, the wood is also excellent with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine.
