In excellent condition, this shotgun shows only faint signs of prior use, with a tight barrel fit and good life left in the locking lug and timed ejectors.

The vent rib barrel is not only aesthetically pleasing but also improves sighting, while the threaded barrel allows for quick choke changes, enhancing its adaptability. This model also includes a bead front sight for precise aiming, and the walnut stock with a neutral grip and RH cast-off ensures comfort during extended use. The floral scroll engraving with sunburst rosettes on a satin-finished receiver adds a touch of artistry, making this piece stand out in any collection.
