The blued action features an engine turned water table, added side clips, sculpted fences, dual gold washed triggers, added side plates, and a manual sliding tang safety. The action and side plates are fully engraved with deep cut foliate scroll, fan designs, and feature brilliant gold inlaid hunting dog and game bird scenes of a spaniel and grouse on the right, a setter and woodcock on the left, a pointer retrieving a woodcock on the trigger plate, and three quail on the trigger guard. The trigger guard serial number has also been inlaid with fine gold.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally upgraded and refinished by Pachmayr with 99% of the high quality blue finish remaining on the barrels, some areas of visible dings and mild pitting under the blue, brilliant gold inlays, sharp detailed engraving, and scattered light handling marks. The wood is also very fine with attractive figure, crisp checkering, and some small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent.
