The receiver of this rifle was manufactured by Borchardt Rifle Co. and subsequently masterfully engraved with squirrel scene on the right of the receiver, rabbit scene on the left, and hunting dog on the top of the receiver ring, all surrounded by nearly full coverage floral scroll. The consignor notes that the engraving was executed by Neil Hermsen, though no signature is visible. The heavyweight, part octagon, J. Stevens Arms Co. barrel is marked with the two-line address on the upper flat and fitted with a globe front sight and two scope blocks. It is mounted with a nicely figured and checkered schnabel tip forearm and straight grip stock with a nickel plated Swiss buttplate.

Excellent overall as masterfully embellished, retains 99% plus blue, casehardened, and nickel finishes with some scattered very light handling marks. The wood has a few scattered light dings and scratches, sharp checkering, and retains almost all of the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
