Manufactured in 1977 with standard markings and features and subsequently extensively hand engraved with scroll and punch dot patterns by Tom Hartliep (younger brother of NRA Master Engraver and instructor Neil Hartliep) and gold plated. "Engr by Tom Harliep" is inscribed on the left side of the front strap under the replacement walnut grips.

Excellent overall as professionally engraved and gold plated with some light handling and storage marks and slight cylinder drag lines. Checkering on the grips is sharp.
