Standard D Grade engraving with hunting dogs on the sides, a setter on the right and a pointer on the left, and four pheasants on the underside.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished (barrels and stock). 95% plus blue finish remains on the barrels with some scattered small nicks and dings and light surface scratches. 90% original vibrant case colors remain on the receiver with very sharp engraving, some light edge wear, and handling marks mostly on the triggers and guard. The wood is fine with a glossy varnish, well-defined checkering, added recoil pad, and small pressure marks and dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
