Multi-point checkered walnut splinter forend with engraved fittings and round knob semi-pistol grip stock with blank silver inscription shield and a Parker Brothers dog's head butt plate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 95% plus original blue on the barrels, majority of the blue lost on the trigger guard, and 40% original case colors with most remaining on the water table and underside of the forearm latch. The action has some dried grease around the release lever, some areas of cleaned spotting, and general mild handling evidence. The wood is also very fine with numerous small dings and scratches and lightly worn, crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
