The blued box lock action features a fine English rose bouquet and scroll engraving with "J. LEJEUNE FAUVE/ARMES LIEGE" marked on the underside and the top of the action is matted.

Excellent as refurbished. The barrels retain 95% of the thinning blue finish with limited minor spotting and a few minor scratches. The remaining metal surfaces retains 97% of the blue finish with some scattered minor wear. The wood has a couple minor handling marks with crisp freshened checkering. Case is excellent.
