There is also a gold inlaid "2" on the forearm release hardware and a "2" engraved on top of the receiver indicating this was originally part of a game bird set.

Period refinished, 95% of the high quality blue finish remains with some scattered minor scratches, a few small areas of wear and a few small spots of oxidation. The break lever and safety retain 75% of the delicate niter blue finish with some pitting under the finish on the bottom of the lever. The casehardened components retain 98% of the case colors with only some minor wear. The refinished and re-oiled wood is good with a couple repaired cracks on each side of the wrist, a small pieced in repair on the bottom right of the stock head, some scattered scratches and dings and a replacement recoil pad. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are very good.
