MORGES" is marked on a panel on the matte top flat, and "ORIGINAL-MEISTER-D.R.G.M." on the left side of the frame, which is scroll and border engraved and equipped with a straw finished checkered cocking lever, adjustable single set trigger, falling breechblock with crown "B" and "U" proofs, combination breech lever and finger rest trigger guard, and a hole in the sight base to allow cleaning rod access. Schnabel tip forearm and right handed pistol grip, both checkered, with rests for the thumb, palm, and index finger, the last two adjustable, with a lanyard ring on the butt.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original finish, showing a light gray patina on the high edges of the barrel, minor scratches concentrated on the left side and underside, and some mild overall handing marks. Case colors are vivid and bright, with a few small areas of brown fading and minimal wear from use. Wood is very good, with mild pressure dents and fine varnish. Action is excellent.
