Slender forend and pistol-grip buttstock are of Presentation Grade oil-finished walnut, with 24 LPI checkering and checkered butt. Contained in a heavy leather case with extra tubes, wrench and gun sleeves. Also featuring all paperwork including brochure and operating instructions.

The trigger guard is numbered "32/100" in gold. The lower tang is signed by the engraver. Makers mark is present on left side of the barrels, (partially gold filled) and "FOR US HISTORICAL SOCIETY" on the right side. Single brass bead sight on the matte vent rib, screw in choke tubes and 3 inch chambers with ejectors.
