Mounted with replacement, uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock and crescent buttplate with trap. Left side of lower tang has a soldered repair which mostly obliterates the assembly number, leaving only a “0” visible. Buttstock is without assembly number and inside toe of buttplate has the assembly number “5192”. Receiver, forend cap & buttplate are very nicely engraved in Ulrich style with nearly full coverage foliate arabesque patterns and the round vignette on the left sideplate engraved with a Mexican eagle. Engraving extends over top & bottom of the receiver with small shell patterns in three different locations. Carrier is engraved with a large hunters star. Forend cap and buttplate tang are engraved to match. Forend cap appears to have a steel plug where a factory swivel would have been and which is engraved in a flower blossom. While this engraving is not of any of the Ulrichs’ quality it is still fine engraving and can deceive the unwary. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl shows rounded edges and it, along with the magazine tube retain a mottled, artificially aged patina; receiver, forend cap & buttplate also show moderate to heavy wear and show a medium mustard, artificially aged patina; wood is sound and retains all of its custom finish.
