Offered here is a masterpiece in firearm art crafted by renowned Master Engraver Angelo Bee. The rifle was originally manufactured in 1925 and then later highly embellished and fitted with an attractive highly figured, high gloss stock. The barrel has a dovetailed beaded blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight and is marked ".22 L" along with a Belgian proof on the left side near the breech and "FABRIQUE NATIONALE D'ARMES DE GUERRE S.A. HERSTAL-BELGIQUE/BROWNING'S PATENT DEPOSE" on top ahead of the rear sight. Additional Belgian proofs are found on the upper left side of the frame, and the left side of the trigger guard is marked "FN" inside an oval. The frame and trigger guard have a semi-relief floral scroll engraving. The scrollwork on the frame surrounds wonderfully detailed gold inlaid game scenes. These scene are three prairie dogs on the left side, a flying duck on top and a coyote carrying a duck on the right side. Additional engraved scrollwork is featured on the flat buttplate. An impressive work of art that is signed by Angelo Bee on the left side of the frame ("A. BEE"). The frame and trigger guard are French gray, the slide bar is bright, the trigger is gold plated, and the remaining metal surfaces are blue. The beautiful, highly figured forearm and round knob pistol grip stock feature fine skip-line checkering. The wood in its own right is a work of art.

Excellent as embellished by Master Engraver Angelo Bee. The rifle retains 99% plus of the blue and French gray finishes showing the slightest handling marks. The wood is in equal condition with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Do not miss your chance to own a pre-World War II FN Trombone rifle that has the added investment quality embellishments done by renowned Master Engraver Angelo Bee! A true work of art that would be a great addition to an FN/Browning collection!
