The piece is signed "ZACCHI" on the ground to the side of the elephants left front leg. The rifle features double triggers, a rolled right hand triggerguard, and a tang mounted manual safety switch.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine with a few dings and scratches concentrated near the toe and sharp checkering. The scope has clear optics with some bleeding to the reticle. The case is very good. Mechanically excellent.
