The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety switch. Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with contrasting tip inlay and engraved fittings, including the Deeley latch release, and round knob pistol grip stock with checkered flats and leather faced rubber recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 90% plus refurbished blue finish, 70% original case colors with some muting and the balance an attractive silver, scattered light oxidation and some pitting below the forend, and light handling evidence. The wood has a flattened recoil pad and a repaired chip to the right stock head; otherwise, it is very fine with a few light scratches and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
