Ramped, beaded blade front sight and adjustable rear flip up sight on the blued steel barrel. The action is engraved with floral scroll designs on a matted background with the engraving extending 9 1/4 inches down the barrel towards the muzzle. The floorplate is beautifully engraved with matching scroll surrounding a raised relief inlaid elk in a forest scene. Beautifully figured, fancy scalloped stock with four separate contrasting geometric wood inlays, Monte Carlo butt, cheekpiece, gold plated sling eyes, and inscription plate reading "LLOYD L. WARD JR." Includes a Weatherby Variable 2 3/4x to 10x scope on Redfield Swing-Over mounts.

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue, light handling evidence, and some light discoloration. The wood is very good with some dings and scratches, varnish crazing, and sharp scales. The scope optics are clear. Mechanically, the firing pin will not remain cocked, and the safety is stuck off.
