The left side plate has two dogs pointing in a grassy field scene with trees in the background and floral scroll with rose bouquet around it. The top of the break lever has a gold inlaid crown, the "S" for safe is inlaid in gold and there is a gold inlaid band towards the rear of the rib.

With a Beretta cloth covered hardcase with leather end protectors.
