Manufactured in 1968. Single bead sight on the matte rib with standard markings and Belgian proofs, 3 inch chambers, ejectors, and full/modified chokes. French gray receiver features very fine Diana Grade game bird scene engraving of ducks, pheasant, and quail, with the classic pair of rabbits on the trigger guard. Both sides of the receiver are signed "R. KOWALSKI". Single selective trigger and tang mounted safety/selector switch. With a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with engraved forearm fittings, and checkered contrasting 5/8 inch wood buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements are: .623/.624 inch; minimum wall thickness .038/.038; drop at comb 1 3/8 inches; drop at heel 2 1/8 inches; length of pull 14 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished with 97% of the factory quality blue, some light surface scratches and forearm marks. The receiver has some very light pitting directly at the junction with the wood but otherwise has light handling marks. The replacement wood is very fine with dark figure, crisp checkering, and some small dings. Mechanically functions fine, however the ejectors will fall out if the barrels are removed. Case is very good with some scuffs and dings on the exterior.
