Fences are beautifully carved in shell motif with flutes engraved with scales.

CONDITION: Exceptionally fine. Bbls retain nearly all of what appears to be their orig lustrous rust blue, with one or two cleaned spots toward muzzles on right bbl. Action retains approx 85 – 90% orig case hardening color. Depth of engraving is enhanced by hand worn silvering on beads and bottom of action. Thumbpiece of top lever is slightly silvered. Top tang of action and grip portion of trigger guard are also silvered. Stocks retain nearly all of their orig hand rubbed oil finish, with a few light marks, checkering lightly worn. Wood at head of stock is slightly away from action (normal shrinkage). Bores are excellent with a hint of frosting and one or two small pings in right bbl, toward muzzle. Action is very slightly loose with forend removed, feels tight with forend installed. Ejectors are strong and in time. 48990-2 MGM47 (17,500-27,500) – Lot 2111
