Casehardened box lock action with five separate game bird scenes on the gun, pheasants on the left, a setter flushing grouse on the right, and mallards on the bottom of the receiver, as well as grouse on the trigger guard, and a heron on the top lever. While the beautiful engraving isn't signed, it is certainly reminiscent of the work of Harvy Kell The game scenes are surrounded by fine floral scrollwork and oak leaf patterns. Attractively figured straight grip walnut stock with Anson button splinter forend. Blank initial oval on the buttstock.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially professionally refurbished. The barrels show 95% blue finish with some areas of pitting. The action retains 80% of the original casehardened finish with crisp engraving. The trigger plate and guard retain 70% of the original blue with repaired break on the tang The metal shows minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine as revarnished, showing scattered minor scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
