Manufactured in 1957 and later elaborately master embellished. Blued barrels with single bead sight on the matted Simmons vent rib, standard Winchester markings, wedges of scroll engraving on either side of the muzzle, gold band between the wedges of scroll engraving near the breech and the scroll on the takedown collar. The gun has a 3 inch chamber with the choke marked "FULL". The coin finished action displays masterful deep cut scroll engraving surrounding a pointer on the left flushing a pair of pheasants and a setter flushing a trio of quail on the right. The work is signed "D.THIRION" for Master Engraved Denise Thirion, who was a student (and ex-wife) of Angelo Bee. Per a letter included with the gun, this engraving was done in 1982 and is Thirion's first work with gold inlay. Nicely figured 14-groove forend and smooth pistol grip stock with checkered buttplate. Included with the lot are two extra barrel sets which have been numbered to match and with matching adornment, one measures 26 inches with a 3 inch chamber and "MOD" choke and the other measures 28 inches with a 3 inch chamber and "FULL" choke. The extra barrel sets and gun are all housed in an aluminum hard case. Stock measurements: 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs 1 oz.

Very fine as masterfully embellished by Denise Thirion, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence. The wood is also very fine with a few minor marks. The extra barrels are very fine. Mechanically excellent.
