Very nicely figured walnut buttstock has carved teardrop behind receiver, is checkered in 2 point pattern through the wrist, has gold oval on toeline, and terminates with a thin 1/4" checkered butt wood buttplate. 

Gun remains in very good to excellent overall condition. Barrel, trigger plate, and trigger guard have been professionally restored and retain about 90% of those proper blued finishes. Buttstock and forearm are sound and retain most of their proper restored hand rubbed finishes. Frame has drifted to mostly gray with engraving still crisp. Bores are bright and shiny. Mechanics are excellent. A really good looking very lightweight 12 gauge which would be a ball to carry in grouse and woodcock cover.
