Master Engraved and Gold Inlaid Angelo Bee Signed Ruger No. 1 Single Shot Falling Block Rifle in 375 H&H Magnum

Fitted with a Flaig's of Austria medium weight half octagon barrel with a beaded blade on a matte ramp front sight and a four leaf (three folding, one standing) rear express sight. The barrel at the muzzle is adorned with a single gold band and two wedges of deeply cut floral scroll engraving and a two inch wedge and gold band at the breech. The action is a muted coin finish with deeply engraved African game scenes of an elephant inlaid in gold on a lightly forested plain and an African black rhinoceros inlaid in gold in a grassy savannah scene. The left side is signed "ABEE" under the rhino with Angelo Bee's signature "bee" marking. Both side feature gold inlaid wire borders. The lever, and bottom of the action have deeply cut floral scroll engraving accents. Mounted on a nicely figured, fancy checkered Circassian walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with sling swivel studs, steel grip cap and an Old English solid rubber recoil pad.

ConditionVery fine as master engraved and upgraded with 99% of the current polished blue finish on the barrel and only minimal scattered light handling marks. The action has 95% of the current muted coin finish with small areas of discoloration and light oxidation on the lever and edges of the action. The wood is very fine with nice figuring, sharp checkering and minimal handling marks. The recoil pad shows cracking throughout. Mechanically excellent. Engravings are crisp and incredibly detailed.
