Manufactured in Belgium in 1967, this rifle features a hooded ramp front sight and adjustable rear folding sight. The barrel is blue and the remaining parts are satin grey with a gold washed trigger and jeweled extractor. The front receiver ring is engraved with a rhinoceros in tall grass on the right side, an elephant in a wooded jungle scene on the left, and the remainder of the action is scroll leaf and punch dot engraving. The hinged floorplate is engraved with a cape buffalo in a plains scene with floral scroll engraving below and on the attaching metal and is signed "R.DEWIL". The trigger guard is engraved with a lion's head amid tall grass and signed "LL". The stock is extra fancy select walnut with a high gloss finish, fine line checkering and hand carved scrollwork on the forearm and grip area, contrasting forend and grip cap with a diamond shaped brass insert, raised comb, cheek piece, rubber vented Browning recoil pad and sling swivel studs.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus, with 99% of the original blue finish, showing some minor handling marks overall. Some light storage grease is present around the bolt, which is otherwise bright. The stock is also excellent with a few light scuffs in the varnish, crisp checkering, sharp carving and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent.
