Action is engraved with very finely detailed, and delicately executed, hunting scenes with large scrolled acanthus highlights, featuring grouse on left side of action, pointing setter on right, and trio of quail in meadow background on trigger plate. Blued trigger guard with SN at grip, has pair of woodcock on trigger guard bow. Nicely marbled, and strikingly fiddle figured European walnut pistol grip buttstock measures 13-7/8″ over ribbed composition buttplate, and features steel grip cap, standard point pattern checkering, and large vacant silver shield on toe line.

Sling swivels removed from stock and bbls. Stock slightly loose on action, with minor chipping on right side. Action is tight. Bores are bright and shiny. Trigger works, ejectors are in time.
