The left side of the front receiver is signed "L LAMBERT". The hinged floor plate is engraved with a cape buffalo in a plains scene with floral scroll engraving below and on the attaching metal and is signed "L. LAMBERT". The trigger guard is engraved with a lion's head amid tall grass and signed "RD".

Excellent. Virtually all of the original blue and satin grey finish remains, showing only light handling marks. The stock is also excellent with a few minor handling marks and sharp checkering. The action functions properly. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear.
