Manufactured in 1970. The barrel is fitted with hooded beaded blade front and folding leaf rear sights as well as standard maker and caliber markings. The French grey receiver shows fine interwoven scroll engraving on the sides, trigger guard and floor plate, and sides have game scenes of two elk and two moose on the right and left respectively. The work is signed on the lower rear left side "Gino C." for FN engraver Gino Cargnel. Mounted in a nicely figured checkered stock with carved scroll accents and string of pearl borders around the checkered panels and a plastic Browning recoil pad.

Very fine, retaining 99% plus original blue and 95% original French grey finishes with some handling marks, patches of discoloration on the receiver, a couple light surface scratches on the stock near the recoil pad, and crisp stock checkering. Mechanically excellent.
