Manufactured in 1962. Blued Special Steel barrels with dual bead sights on the matted vent rib, gold inlaid markings on the left of the upper barrel, import mark, 3 inch chambers with ejectors, and "**$"/"**$" (skeet/skeet) chokes. The blued action displays absolutely beautiful, Exhibition Grade gold wire inlaid borders with scrolling tips surrounding exceptionally well detailed gold inlaid game scenes consisting of a pair of pheasant cocks on the left, woodcock on the underside, and a pair of mallards on the right side. The gold scroll continues onto the toplever, trigger guard, and both tangs. The gun is unsigned though the work was clearly performed by one of the master engravers at FN, possibly either Andre Watrin or Jose Baerten. The gun features a single gold plated trigger and a tang mounted safety/selector switch with gold inlaid "S", "O", and "U" markings.
