Action is engraved with full coverage well cut semi-relief large open shaded scroll with floral highlights. Lockplates are engraved with dramatic scenes also in semi-relief of hawk stooping upon game birds, with left side depicting a covey of quail scattering amongst under growth, and with four pheasant in various poses either running or flying on right. Bottom of action is engraved with makers name, and steel trigger guard is engraved with matching scroll. All barrel sets retain over 95% of what appears to be orig blue, silvered on sharp edges. Action retains nearly all of its coin finish, some areas darkening. All bores are very fine to excellent. Shotgun and rifle/ shotgun barrels are tight. 12ga shotgun barrel has ivory bead sight. Double rifle barrels are a bit loose with forend removed. Ejectors are strong and in time. Scope is excellent, near new. Optically clear.

Stock features right hand shadow line cheekpiece, multi-point pattern checkering at grip, with a chinstrap transition to butt, which has a sling loop as well as a gold oval engraved with monogram “JPB” on toe line. Barrels are fitted with 3-pc ejector forend with Deeley release, bottom section of which serves all three barrel sets. Stocks retain 85 – 90% orig hand rubbed oil finish, thinned around grip and on forend, with numerous light marks and bumps.
Tan oak and leather case with riveted-on brass corners is lined in burgundy wool. It has space for action and all three sets of barrels. Case contains a pair of 12 gauge snap caps. A covered compartment contains a scope cover and two keys, as well as an initial plate for top of case with same initials as on gold oval. Case leather is darkening and has many marks and rubs.
