Left side of lower tang, under the wood is marked with the assembly number “1749” and “XX”. Left side of top tang has a small triangle proof which probably signifies factory rework. Matching assembly number is also found on rear face of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. Wood appears to be of recent manufacture. Receiver is custom engraved with the rnd vignette of a running whitetail buck in a forest scene on the left side, and a buck deer drinking from a stream with a doe in the background on the right side. Both vignettes are surrounded by foliate arabesque patterns with pearled background and scalloped borders. Engraving extends over top of receiver and about 1-1/4″ over chamber area of the bbl.
