Manufactured in 1959. Dual bead sights on the matte vent rib with standard markings and Belgian proofs, 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, and full/improved modified chokes. The receiver features exceptional full coverage floral and scroll engraving surrounding gold inlaid game bird scenes of ducks on the right, pheasants on the left, and a grouse on the underside. The scenes are also bordered in fine gold wire and both sides are signed "ABEE". Single gold washed trigger with tang mounted safety/selector switch, and matching engraved trigger guard with blank initial shield. Checkered semi-beavertail forearm with engraved fittings, and pistol grip stock with fancy scroll bordered checkering and Browning plastic buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .724/.727 inch; minimum wall thickness .034/.032 inch; drop at comb 1 1/8 inches; drop at heel 1 1/8 inches; length of pull 14 1/4 inches. With Browning Naugahyde takedown case.

ConditionExcellent. 97% original blue finish remains with some light edge wear and rub marks on the barrels, sharp engraving, complete gold inlays, and some light handling marks. The wood is also excellent with crisp well defined checkering, and some scattered small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with some dings and scuffs on the exterior and some staining on the interior.
