Chopper lump barrels are engraved with makers name and "MADE IN SPAIN" on narrow swamped game rib. Barrel flats are stamped with Spanish nitro proofs for 3" chambers. Coin finished round bodied sidelock action features automatic safety, bushed strikers, gold band tumbler end cocking indicators, and double triggers (front articulated). Action and rounded lockplates are engraved with near full coverage varying sized scroll. Makers name is on each lockplate. Top lever and trigger guard are blued and also scroll engraved. Partial serial number is on tang. Pleasingly marbled European walnut round headed straight grip buttstock with checkered wood butt. Traditional point pattern checkering wraps around grip. A vacant silver oval is on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Gun is housed in dark brown leather case with leather corners. Interior is lined in green felt. An AYA black and gold label is in lid. Case contains cleaning equipment, snap caps, oil bottle, and straps, along with consignors notes. Excellent, very close to new. It's probably seen only a box or two of shells. All surfaces retain essentially all factory finishes, with only a few exceptionally slight handling and assembly marks. Case is excellent, inside and out. From the G. Thomas Puett Collection.
