Manufactured in 1983. Single white bead sight on the matted vent rib, standard markings, wedges scroll engraving at the breech end, 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and "**-"/"**" (improved cylinder/modified) chokes. The blued action displays full coverage scroll engraving on punchdot background surrounding game bird scenes showing a trio of pheasant on the left, three mallards on the right, and a grouse on the underside. The birds are rendered in fine semi-relief gold inlay with gold inlaid borders around the scenes on the sides of the action. The piece is signed "ABEE" on both sides of the action at the low rear. There is a faint marking below the finish on the left side of the action which appears to read "1984 OFFC". The triggerguard and tangs are engraved with matching scroll and checker board patterns and a blank initial shield at the center of the guard. Beautiful feather crotch figured, multi-point checkered Schnabel tip forend with engraved fittings and a straight grip stock with Browning buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements: bore diameter nine inches from the breech .624/.622 inches; choke constriction .006/.013 inches; minimum wall thickness .029/.032 inches; 1 5/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs 11 oz.

Excellent as custom embellished by Master Engraver Angelo Bee, retaining 99% plus blue and gold finishes with limited handling evidence. There is a small area of varnish cracking at the left rear of the forend as well as a long crack on the right side, otherwise, the wood is very fine with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
