The barrels feature single bead sights on the matte ribs with 3 inch chambers, automatic ejectors, cylinder/cylinder chokes, and standard Italian proofs on the flats. The coin finished action features bushed firing pins, single non-selective trigger, and tang mounted manual sliding safety. The action and lock plates feature deeply cut oak leaf and scroll borders surrounding highly detailed American bald eagle scenes from American wildlife painter Guy Coheleach. The scenes are engraved in the finely detailed bulino style with a perched eagle on the left, an eagle landing in the branches on the right, and another perched eagle on the underside. The underside is marked "1 Guy Coheleach" in gold inlaid script and the trigger plate is signed "G.F. Pedersoli Inc." for Italian Master Engraver Gianfranco Pedersoli. Nicely figured, checkered forearm with Anson latch, gold inlaid A&S crest on the underside, and straight grip stock with tear drop accents behind the locks, gold inlaid script "GC" on the underside, and checkered bare butt. The second barrel set is 26 inches long with matching serial number and markings, 3 inch chambers, gold inlaid "2" at the breech, and modified/full chokes. Includes factory leather bound takedown case with three ebony handled screw drivers, nickel oil bottle, three-piece wood cleaning rod, and cleaning rod heads. Stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/2 inches; drop at heel 2 1/16 inches; length of pull 14 1/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good the first barrel set has 99% original blue finish with some scattered light handling marks and some light oxidation visible on the bright breech ends. The action and locks have 65% original bright coin finish with the balance showing a thin layer of brown surface oxidation, well defined engraving, and a few darker spots. The wood is very good with crisp checkering, some small scattered dings, part of the gold inlaid "GC" absent, and some mild patina on the forearm shoe. Mechanically excellent. The second barrel set shows some rough oxidation along the underside of the rib, nearer the muzzle. Case is very good with exterior scuffs and dings, and some mild interior discoloration.
