The gun features a gold plated single selective trigger and tang mounted automatic safety switch. Outstanding, feather crotch figured, fancy 21-B pattern fleur-de-lis checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings, rotary latch release, and ebony tip inlay and pistol grip stock with matching fleur-de-lis checkering and engraved and gold inlaid "GRAND/AMERICAN" grip cap and checkered bare butt.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine as custom upgraded/built to current configuration, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, some areas of dried grease, slight rubbing at the muzzles, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Other than some oxidation hidden under the forend, the extra barrel set is also very fine with some dried grease as well. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
