been cut with central game scenes of a hare bounding through a wooded scene on the left above the
model and serial number, and a squirrel on a broken tree limb reaching out for a cluster of acorns on
the right. The game scenes are surrounded by floral scroll engraving on a punchdot background with geometric motifs created by the negative space and a floral bloom on top.

CONDITION: Excellent overall, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, and crisp engraving. Wood is very fine with minor dings and scratches, frosting near
