Description:

Manufactured in 1959. This beautifully embellished shotgun features dual bead sights, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and full choke. The fantastic engraving starts with small wedges at the muzzle with a subtle gold inlaid band. The magazine cap and band are similarly engraved with fine, tight scroll. The Winchester proofs and choke markings have been carefully gold inlaid. The receiver features highly detailed fine leafy scroll surrounding grayed game scene panels with semi-relief gold inlaid hunting dogs and pheasants on both the right and left sides. The left side of the receiver is signed "A BEE" directly below the gold dog's paw. Mounted on a highly figured fleur de lis checkered extension forearm and pistol grip stock with an engraved steel grip cap and solid Winchester recoil pad. Stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/4 inches; drop at heel 2 inches; length of pull 14 3/4 inches. Includes an aluminum Americase with keys and extra screws.

Rating Definition:

Extremely fine as professionally embellished by Master Engraver Angelo Bee with 99% of the blue finish, high detail, and light handling marks. The wood is very fine with light handling marks, very attractive grain, rich color and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A prime example of masterfully executed Angelo Bee engraving.
