Blued steel barrel with a beaded blade front sight, flip-up rear sight, Remington factory markings including the "Model 12-F. Special" marking on the top flat, and five wedges of scroll at the breech. The blued action displays beautifully cut floral scroll engraving bordering with large scrolling ribbons surrounding exquisite game scenes on either side with another scene on the top with "12" over "5827" on the forward bottom. The left scene shows a trio of dogs running a hare in a field with one of the dogs climbing through a fence line, the right side shows a smaller scene of a pair of squirrels eating nuts on a tree branch, and the top scene has a dog with a woodcock in his mouth. All three scenes are cut in fine high detail. Nicely figured, fancy checkered forend and pistol grip stock with Remington grip cap, blank inscription oval, and engraved Remington crescent buttplate. These F Grade guns were the finest put out by Remington with their extensive beautiful engraving and high grade wood, and this fine rifle is no exception; it is truly a work of art.

Extremely fine, retaining 95% plus original blue finish with slight plum coloration in the barrel and magazine tube, extensive light oxidation scattered on the barrel, noticeable slide retraction wear, and light handling evidence. The refinished wood is fine with an applied coat of varnish, a few dings and scratches, and overall sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
