The bottom of the receiver is engraved with scroll with the trigger guard bow having the monogram of the letter H engraved on it.

The chokes are 0.04" right and 0 .44" left (skeet and extra full). The bores are very good with very frosting, there is no pitting. the chambers measure 2 3/4", There is a single front bead and the original bluing rates about 95%. The walnut stock is the hard to find capped semi pistol grip and measures 13 3/4" LOP including the Lefever monogram buttplate and a 1/4" black spacer. The buttplate may be a replacement. The DAC is 1 7/8" and DAH is 2 7/8", the cast appears netural. The overall weight is 6lbs 12.3oz. The side plates retain most of the original case colors while there is scattered case colors on the receiver in protected areas. The forend iron has a strong original case colors on the underside where protected by the wood, there are no case colors on the visible metal portion.
