Manufactured in 1920, there is a brass front bead sight and a white mid bead sight on the matte solid rib. Choked full/full and 2 3/4 inch chambers with extractor. The receiver and side plates have an oak leaf engraved design with a punch dot background. Mounted on a multi-point checkered beavertail forearm with Schnabel tip and nicely figured pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and Hawkins recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Refinished with 90% of the blue finish remaining with some thinning and wear along the barrel and a small ding on the top left side of the barrel near the muzzle. The forearm iron has been renumbered to match. The receiver retains 50% of the original case colors with a silvery gray patina on the balance. The trigger guard has some nicks and dings. The forearm is a replacement and is very good with some scratches and dings. The buttstock appears original and is very good as shortened and recoil pad added with some scattered minor scratches, dings and some age cracks that follow the grain. Mechanically fine.
