Gun made with splinter forend with Anson type pushbutton release. The case hardened action is engraved in gorgeous rose and scroll and is very delicate and finely cut- most certainly by Sumner and a work of art to behold! The gun was made with double triggers, auto ejectors, safety. The engraved steel capped pistol grip buttstock is of extremely fine English Walnut with great grain and contrast and terminates with its original checkered butt. The gun is housed in what appears to be its original Oak and leather case with makers label on inside.
The gun remains in excellent overall condition. Barrels retain nearly all of their factory quality restored finish. Action retains about 65% bold original case color.
