Choked improved cylinder and modified, with 3 inch chambers. The rib near the breech has had a thin line of gold inlaid. The receiver and all of the attaching screws have been skillfully engraved in a scrolling floral pattern. This engraving is continued on the trigger guard as well as the upper and lower tang. The fences have been relief carved in an oak leaf and acorn motif, with extended side clips. With double triggers and a tang mounted safety switch, the "S" in the safe position has been done in gold.

Very fine overall as refurbished. The barrels have 99% deep blue finish, with some minor handling marks. Receiver is very good with clear engravings and some light spotting. Forearm is very fine with crisp checkering and some small handling marks. Stock is very fine with scattered scratches and pressure indentations. There is a small filled repair on each of the stock side panels.
