Manufactured in 1976 by Josef Winkler of Ferlach, Austria, an area well known for its many fine gunsmiths, engravers, and gun makers. Brass highlighted blade front and fixed notch rear sights on the matte rib marked "J.K. JOSEF WINKLER Nfg.", claw style scope mounts with a Schmidt & Bender Biebertal Wetzlar 1 1/4-4x20 Dangerous Game scope. Receiver features full coverage engraving with fine scroll and detailed side plate game scenes of bear on the right, and a bull and cow moose on the left. With dual triggers and tang mounted automatic safety. Skip-line checkered forearm and buttstock with a silver initial oval, raised cheekpiece, cartridge trap, and solid Decelerator recoil pad.

Excellent. 97% original blue finish remains with mostly light handling marks and thinning visible on the trigger guard. The engraving is sharp and detailed. The wood is also excellent with crisp checkering, small dings throughout, and added recoil pad. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent.
