Blued steel barrels with single orange fiber front sight on the concave matted solid rib which is marked "ROY VAIL WARWICK N.Y." in gold inlay, standard Belgian proofmarks, and 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The coin finished boxlock action displays floral scroll engraving surrounding a gold inlaid pheasant on the left and a gold inlaid mallard on the right. The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety switch. Although the engraving is unsigned, it was likely carried out by Master Engraver Roy Vail. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved coin fittings and an Anson button release as well as a straight grip stock with "DRM" in a gold inscription plate and a checkered bare butt. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proved at 18.2 mm (.716 inches) and measured at .720/.721 inches; choke constriction .010/.025 inches; minimum wall thickness .038/.035 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 11/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs.

Excellent as upgraded by Roy Vail, retaining 99% blue, coin, and gold finishes with limited handling evidence. There are a few dings at the toe; otherwise, the wood is very fine with scattered minor scratches and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
