Vividly colored case hardened action has automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold) and gold-plated double triggers. Action has about 80% coverage of well cut scroll engraving with “Churchill.” in ribands on either side. Blued floorplate, top lever, and trigger guard have matching engraving, with SN on trigger guard tang. Nicely streaked European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14″ over Silvers type pad.

Bbls retain virtually all of their beautifully polished and colored black. Action retains all of its correctly colored, probably St. Ledger, hardening. Blued parts retain nearly all of their charcoal blue. Stocks retain essentially all of a new hand rubbed oil finish over a few minor dents and marks. Checkering has not been re-cut and is slightly worn, and missing a few diamonds. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are off face. Forend is a bit loose. Ejectors are slightly out of time. 4-41837 MGM85 (4,500-6,500)
