Tang mounted safety and gold plated single mechanical trigger with mounted barrel selector. H M G engraved on trigger guard bow. The left side of the barrel has the Winchester legend and the water table has the patent marking. Nicely figured and multi point checkered beavertail forearm and buttstock with a checkered butt.
