The receiver appears to be Walnut. The bbl is a brown color and is stained either an oak or mahogany. Butt stock and forearm is lightly stained oak. We don't know who the artist is but on the bottom is the initials "R L M". On the top of the bbl is "1 of 20". On the bottom is the serial number "7". The lever swings up and down with a latch that works. The dust cover slides. The sight elevator does move. Bbl is 28" and full size in all aspects. I cannot imagine the time and patience it took to craft such a perfect piece! A wonderful display and conversation piece.
