Manufactured 1961 and subsequently custom embellished. The craftsmanship demonstrates the precision of a master artisan. The barrel features both gold and silver inlaid bands at the muzzle and breech and engraved semi-relief floral scrollwork. The engraving at the breech also incorporates gold and silver inlaid leaves. The embellishment at the breech is 3 1/2 inches long, and the embellishment ahead of the rear sight is 4 inches long. The barrel retains the factory legend. The scrollwork and inlay extend to the floor plate and trigger guard. Amongst the scrollwork on the floor plate is a raised stag. This scene is outlined in gold scroll inlay. Hooded ramp front and adjustable folding leaf rear sights. Standard "WP" proofs are on the barrel and receiver. The receiver is tapped for scope/sight mounting and has a late safety. The polished bolt is numbered to the gun and has a hollow knob. The stock features a high relief oak leaf carving on a dot background with high relief borders and is fitted with a plastic checkered buttplate.

Very fine as professionally custom embellished. The rifle retains 98% plus of the blue finish showing mild thinning on the bolt handle and a number of minor scratches on the inside of the trigger guard. The stock is also very fine showing limited mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent. A true work of firearm artistry that would add value to any sporting bolt action rifle collection.
