executed by the hands of a highly skilled engraver. The gun features cocking indicators on the lockplates, gold dual
triggers (front single set), and a tang mounted manual safety with a gold inlaid “S” indicator. The gun is fitted
with an attractively figured fish scale checkered forend with engraved and gold inlaid forend iron and a pistol
