MERIDEN, CONN. ACME STEEL", 2 5/8 inch chambers, automatic ejectors, standard markings on the flats, and full chokes. The receiver features standard B grade engraving with detailed hunting dogs on the sides, two running deer on the underside, and the balance covered in fine, tight scroll engraving. With single selective trigger and automatic sliding tang safety. Checkered splinter forearm with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with fancy fleur-de-lis carved accents, checkered flats, gold grip cap inscribed "T.J. Donald/Felicity Ohio/1911", and solid rubber recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored with 98% of the deep blue finish remaining, some small dings, two small professionally installed screws on top of the rib just forward of the breech, and clear markings. The receiver has 98% of the dark refurbished case colors with detailed engraving, light handling marks, and clear markings. The refinished wood is also very fine with attractive grain, some small dings, and added recoil pad. Mechanically excellent.
