There is also silver wire inlay around the outside edges of the trigger guard and floor plate. There is an engraved claw mount on the barrel and a claw mount on the receiver bridge. There is a blade front sight and no provisions for a rear sight. There is a Hensoldt Wetzlar Ziel Dialyt 8x scope with matching claw mounts. The bolt, body and muzzle are jeweled. Mounted on a nicely figured, fish scale checkered walnut pistol grip stock with floral scroll and game scene carvings, contrasting horn forend tip, carved horn grip cap, raised shadowline cheekpiece, sling swivels and a serrated horn buttplate. The left side of the stock shows a hawk swooping down on a rabbit in a field scene, the right side shows a squirrel in a tree and the right rear has a large scene showing a roe buck chasing a doe out of the tree line into a field.

Rating Definition:

Professionally embellished, the barreled action retains 98% of the original blue finish with some minor marks and some minor oxidation around the edge of the front claw base. The engraving remains crisp and clear. All of the silver and gold inlays remain. The stock is very good with scattered minor scratches and dings. The carvings remain sharp and clear. There is a small nick on the grip cap and some worm damage on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent. The scope is excellent as well with clear optics.
