*FINELY ENGRAVED AND GOLD INLAID REMINGTON MODEL 32 CUSTOM FOUR BARREL SKEET SET WITH CASE.

SN 5009. Cal. 12 ga, 20 ga, 28 ga, and .410 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. All bbl sets are 26″ with raised, ventilated ribs mounted with white Bradley beads. 12 Ga. bbls are SNed “5009”, and finely engraved at breech end, matching remainder of gun. Other bbls are SNed “3523” and have rudimentary scroll and oak leaves at breech ends. Typical blued Remington Model 32 action features automatic safety and gold-plated single selective trigger. Action is engraved with exceptionally well cut and beautifully shaded, large, semi-relief, open scroll, with acanthus highlights surrounding fine game scenes of exceptionally well sculpted and inlaid in raised high relief gold, dogs and birds in well detailed engraved backgrounds. A pointer and a setter are intent upon departing trio of grouse in mountainous background with fine foliate foreground on left side of action.

Bottom of action has a scene of flushing pheasant above gold inlaid Remington nomenclature for Model and SN, along with “Skeet”. A portrait of a dog is on trigger guard bow.
