Splinter forearm with Deely style plunger release, point pattern checkering about the forearm. Boxlock action, unmarked, with simple floral engraving on hinge pin and recoil shields, dressed screws, and a Greener bolt, automatic safety. Water table with Belgian proofs. Plain trigger guard protects double triggers. Straight grip stock with sidepanels, point pattern checkering about the wrist, and a spliced in wooden buttplate. Housed in a canvas wrapped J.
