Manufactured in Japan between 1972 and 1994 the Crown Grade Mark V Rifle is Weatherby's best grade rifle and available on a custom order basis only. The tapered barrel was manufactured without sights and features factory floral scroll and punch dot engraving extending forward a full 15 inches from the breech. The factory engraving extends to the receiver, bolt shroud, hinged floor plate, and trigger guard. The floorplate features a high relief gold rams head against a scroll background. The receiver has standard Mark V markings. Jeweled fluted bolt, serrated trigger, and checkered bolt handle. Mounted on an exhibition grade pistol grip stock with contrasting forend and grip caps, a diamond insert on the grip cap, raised cheekpiece, sling swivel studs, and a vented factory recoil pad. A fancy carved floral pattern is present on the forearm and grip area, and a white inlaid running antelope on an ebony background is on the right side of the buttstock.

Excellent. 99% original high lustre blue finish remains with mostly light handling marks overall. The stock is also excellent with sharp carving and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent.
