Manufactured in Belgium in 1954, this Grade III shotgun features blue barrels and a satin coin finish on the remaining metal. Dual bead sights on the matte vent rib, 2 3/4 inch chambers, choked full/modified with ejectors. The action is engraved with a simple scroll design, with two cock pheasants fighting and five quail in the background on the left side, eight pheasants on the right side in a field scene and a hunting dog with a game bird in its mouth on the bottom. The break lever, trigger guard and forearm hardware also have a fine scroll pattern. Each side of the receiver is signed by Master Engraver Felix Funken. These Funken engraved Browning's are some of the rarest and most desirable to collectors. Funken retired in 1960 and passed away in 1966. Gold washed single trigger, tang mounted safety/selector and mounted with fancy, high gloss checkered walnut forearm and round knob pistol grip stock long tang with a vent Browning recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 1/2 inches. Complete with a Browning takedown case with a name plaque ("Red Irwin / Hooterville, Ill").

Excellent. The barrels retain 99% original blue finish with some mild thinning at the breech and some mild forearm wear. The remaining metal retains 98% original satin coin finish with some discoloration (mostly on the trigger guard). The wood is excellent with a few scattered minor handling marks. There are some scattered minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. The case is excellent.
