The shotgun barrels are 16 gauge with 2 3/4 inch chambers, choked full/modified, the upper rifle barrel is 22 Hornet caliber and the lower rifle barrel is chambered 7x72R and there is a gold-washed extractor. There is a sling swivel mounted on the underside of the barrels.

The top of the frame has a cross hatch design, the trigger guard has fine scroll and a game bird on a tree branch.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 98% refinished blue remaining, showing only some mild wear on the trigger guard and safety lever. The hammers show traces of bright case colors in protected area and the remaining casehardened surfaces have a smooth silver/gray patina. The wood is also very fine with some light scratches, a few minor handling marks and crisp recut checkering. The scope is fine with most of the finish and clear optics. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
