Blued steel barrel with ramped, beaded blade front sight, sling stud on the barrel band, matted rear quarter rib with three leaf (one standing, two folding) rear sight with gold center lines, "REBARRELED BY GRIFFIN & HOWE INC. NEW YORK" ahead of the rib, and dual wedges of scrollwork at the breech. The double square bridge Mauser 98 type action has matted bridges flanked by engraving, jewelled bolt, and engraved and knurled bolt handle. The bottom metal shows the same attractive scroll engraving. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with ebony tip, engraved recoil bolt, blued engraved grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, inscription oval marked "J.K.H.", rear sling stud, and ventilated red rubber recoil pad.

Very fine as built by Griffin & Howe, retaining 99% blue finish, minimal minor handling evidence, and overall sharp checkering on the stock. Mechanically excellent.
