Manufactured in 1956, the first year of production, and subsequently master custom embellished by Angelo Bee. At just 16 years old, he started work as a machinist at the Browning Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium. During his time there, he sought to become a "white coat," or factory engraver, and subsequently spent four years attending evening classes at the Beaux Arts de Liege, before being accepted as an apprentice factory engraver. After 25 years working for Fabrique Nationale as an engraver, Angelo Bee immigrated to the United States to start his own business in 1975, sponsored by Frank Pachmayr. Features fixed blade front and adjustable notched tangent rear sights, with replacement checkered walnut forend and buttstock with smooth buttplate. The receiver and trigger guard feature closed floral scroll engraving with textured backdrop, along with raised gold inlay game scenes including a hawk chasing a hare on the left side, an eagle head on top, and wolverine following a pheasant on the right side. Signed "A.BEE" on both sides of the receiver, with the left side signature added into the bottom of the game scene and the right side signature on the rear most point of the bottom rail. Fitted in a multi-point, skip-line checkered fancy walnut stock, with added loading hole at the top of the wrist.

Very fine overall as embellished by renowned Master Engraver Angelo Bee, retaining 99% plus of the blue finish with a few minor handling marks mostly on the wood, and most of the gold wash remaining on the trigger. The magazine tube is missing its follower and the action does not always cycle properly.
