Documented Elaborately Factory Master Engraved Gold Inlaid Bryson Gwinnell Signed Winchester Model 70 Showgun Bolt Action Rifle in 458 Win Mag with Factory Letter

The included factory letter states the rifle was manufactured by the Winchester Custom Shop and engraved by Master Engraver Bryson Gwinnell of Southwick, Massachusetts. The letter further states the rifle was manufactured as a Winchester showgun. Ramped hooded beaded blade front and flip up elevation adjustable rear notch sights and standard barrel markings. The rifle features extensive, elaborate geometric and African big game scene engraving with a flourish of gold inlaid scroll between the rear sight and breech, finely detailed silver inlaid bull elephant on top of the receiver bordered with gold inlaid scroll, a gold inlaid outline of Africa on the receiver bridge, brilliant high relief gold inlaid rhino on the right side of the bridge, a herd of elephants on the floor plate with the center elephant in high relief red gold inlay, and African lions on the trigger guard. Each animal and scene are carved with incredible detail. The bolt handle knob and grip cap are also engraved with contrasting gold inlay. The floor plate is signed "BRYSON" near the hinge in small letters. Fancy American walnut stock with fancy carved border checkering, ebony forend cap, Monte Carlo shadowline cheekpiece, and a leather wrapped recoil pad.

ConditionExcellent. 99% original high polish blue finish remains with only light handling marks on the metal. The stock has some visible pressure dents on the left and right sides of the butt, but is otherwise excellent with crisp checkering, rich color, and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent. A fantastically engraved Winchester showpiece with brilliant precious metal inlays, sure to turn heads where ever it is displayed.
