The triggerguard and tangs are engraved with matching scroll and checkerboard patterns and a blank initial shield at the center of the guard. Beautiful, highly figured, multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with inscription oval marked "A/J/S" and a Browning buttplate.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and gold finishes with minimal minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The end with the label is torn through, otherwise the box is very good. Mechanically excellent.
