Nicely figured straight grip stock featuring multi-point checkering, nitre blue wedge, blank silver initial oval and steel shotgun buttplate. Import marking on barrel rib under the forearm.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall as professionally restored, retaining 99% plus brown and casehardened finishes, some light pitting under the finish on the barrels, some minor handling marks (mostly on the wood), splice repair on the forearm, stabilized crack near the right lock plate and crisp stock checkering. Mechanically excellent. An extremely appealing gold inlaid shotgun!
