Manufactured in 1969 in Belgium, this rifle features a blue barrel manufactured without sights and French grey finish on the remaining parts. The follower and bolt assembly are polished, and the trigger is gold washed. The front receiver ring is engraved with a bugling elk on the right side, a moose on the left side and the remainder of the action is floral vine leaf and punch dot engraved. The left side of the receiver is signed "L SEVERINI". The hinged floor plate engraved with a bear in a mountain scene with floral leaf engraving below and on the attaching metal and signed "A BEE" below the bear. The trigger guard is engraved with a mountain lion with a floral leaf pattern above and below, with "AM" (A. Marechal) below the lion. There is a two inch wedge of floral leaf engraving on the breech end of the barrel sides. The screw heads and stock bolts are also engraved with a leaf design. The stock is extra fancy select walnut with a high gloss finish, fine line checkering and floral and punch dot hand carving on the forearm and grip area, contrasting forend and grip cap with a diamond shaped brass inset on the grip cap, raised comb, cheekpiece, vented Browning recoil pad and sling swivel studs.

Excellent. The barrel retains 99% plus original finish with some very slight muzzle wear and light overall handling marks. The receiver retains virtually all of the original French grey finish. The stock is also excellent with only a couple minor dings, (mainly on the front edge of the grip cap), and slight handling marks, and sharp checkering and carving. Three of the stock bolts show some very minor corrosion. The markings and engraving remain sharp. Mechanically excellent. An excellent Olympian in a very desirable caliber.
