Receiver manufactured in 1894 and subsequently masterfully embellished by Master Engraver Angelo Bee. The included certificate of authenticity lists this rifle by serial number, states that the engraving is authentic, and is signed by Bee. The engraving mimics a Winchester factory pattern consisting of scrollwork and small game scenes (rabbits and squirrels). The remainder of the rifle has been upgraded to deluxe configuration with blade front and fixed notch rear sights, standard Winchester markings, and fancy grain walnut grooved forearm and a checkered pistol grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very fine as professionally custom embellished and upgraded, retains 85% plus of the blue finish and 95% plus of the case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina on edges and some scattered light spotting/pin prick type pitting. The wood is also very fine with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
