Originally manufactured in 1953 and later highly embellished by L. Sherman who has signed the left side of the receiver. The receiver features a profusely engraved floral scroll pattern on a stippled background, gold inlaid scroll bordering, and inlaid big game scenes of gold elk bull and cow under a silver moon in a mountain scene on the left side, gold buffalo head on the underside, and gold moose and mountain lion in a forest on the right side. The bolt, lever, hammer, forend cap and barrel at the breech and muzzle are embellished to match. Discreetly Birmingham proofed. It is fitted with a hooded ramp front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The highly figured walnut forearm and pistol grip stock feature fine checking with relief carved fleur-de-lis bordering. The buttstock is fitted with a skeletonized grip cap and checkered steel buttplate.

Extremely fine as elaborately custom embellished by L. Sherman, retaining 99% plus of the blue finish and minimal handling evidence. Mechanically excellent.
