Scroll and leaf engraved receiver marked "Lyman / 1878 - 1978 / CENTENNIAL / EDITION II" on the left side and a leaping deer in a gun sight with "Lyman" above it and "1878-1978" below it on the right side. Checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with metal buttcap with brass Ruger medallion insert and solid red recoil pad. Swivel stud on barrel ring in front and in stock on rear. Lyman Centennial Century Model 4X rifle scope with mounts. Three inch diameter bronze medallion with Mr. Lyman bust in relief with a tang sight and the Lyman factory, trees and rolling hills in the background and marked "LYMAN / CENTENNIAL / 1878 / 1978" on the front side and "A CENTURY OF SERVICE TO THE SHOOTER 1878 Lyman Products Corp. 1978" circled around the outside edge and "Beginning / Our / Second Century" on the back side. Three reloading dies, one sizing/decapping, one expansion, and one seating, all marked "LYMAN CENTENNIAL EDITION". Walnut handled bullet mold. Two detachable sling swivels. Stainless steel cleaning rod with walnut handle and missing the small replica of the face side of the three inch bronze medallion inserted in the end, brass jag and bore guide. Complete in a walnut locking presentation case with green velveteen lining and one key.

ConditionNear new with 99% plus original blue finish on the barrel and receiver showing only slight handling marks. The stock is excellent but shows some pressure marks most likely due to something in the case getting loose when being moved. All case and accessories are like new. Mechanically excellent.
