serial #1226574, 12 ga., 28" barrel marked full, now choked almost full. This shotgun features what appears to be its original solid rib with proper offset proof. The gun has been beautifully custom engraved and gold inlaid in the factory 12-5 pattern. The engraving consists of relief scroll with finely stippled background shading. The left side shows two dogs and a flushing grouse inlaid in gold against a wooded background. The right side shows four gold inlaid ducks in flight preparing to land against a marshy background. The barrel shows tasteful wedges of scroll at the breech and on the takedown collar and the bottom of the magazine tube shows the factory pigeon mark which has been neatly freshened. The shotgun is stocked with wonderful high grade American black walnut in the Winchester B carved fleur-de-lis pattern. The checkering on the pistolgrip shows some uneven sized diamonds along the borders. The metal surfaces of the shotgun retain 99% of a wonderful quality rust blue showing little if any use since embellishment. The stocks feature an oil rubbed finish and they rate virtually as new. This is a very handsome upgraded Model 12 shotgun manufactured around 1949. (1C11739-74) {C&R} (2500/3500)
