The casehardened top break action features English style scroll engraving, standard maker's marks, engraved break lever, and an automatic tang mounted thumb safety.

Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .669 inches; wall thickness at 9 inches from breech .0755 inches; drop at comb 1 3/8 inches; drop at heel 1 3/4 inches; length of pull 14 3/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished with 95% of the blue and traces of case colors on the receiver. The barrel shows some light handling marks, clear markings, and some slightly rounded edges in the chamber area. The receiver has aged to a mostly smooth gray patina with handling marks and fine engraving. The wood is fine with handling marks, small indentations throughout and some deeper linear scratches. The recoil pad shows some scuffs around the edges but is otherwise fine.
