C. Baerten Master Engraved Belgian Browning Custom Shop Grade III SA22
Description: For sale is an extremely nice Browning Grade 3 Semi-Auto .22lr manufactured in Belgium! These Custom Shop guns retain all of the desirable features of the original production Belgium guns and even improve upon them in some regards. The first and most obvious being the coin finished, hand engraved receiver, executed and subsequently signed by C. Baerten on the left collar of the receiver. The detail and overall eye appeal of the engraving is something you almost can't appreciate in photos although I've tried my best. The game scenes are bordered with Browning's signature scrollwork that Baerten has done thousands of times, and it shows. They are simple as far as engraving goes but nonetheless quality and a nice touch to frame the animals. The right side features a dog flushing a team of ducks, the right is the same but with a flock of ringneck pheasants, all of the animals have excellent shape and shading, the surronding scene including the trees and grass are also very well detailed and complete the package nicely. The wood quality is what you can expect for a hand built firearm from Browning and their Belgian facility. There is dark almost black grain that runs diagonally through the entire piece of walnut. Also prominant in the furniture is the presence of Orange, Brown, and Gold highlights in between the previously mentioned grain. A unique piece that you don't often see, especially with the various natural colors all present at the same time! Topped off with a high gloss wood finish that give it a nice depth that is hard to appreciate without it in your hands. The original instruction sticker still remains on the left side of the stock as this gun has seen limited to no use. The only imperfection is a small indentation on the right side of the stock towards the butt plate. Outside of this there is no handling or wear present, I would not hesitate to call it mint condition.
