serial #655PT00046, 22 LR, 6 3/4” heavy barrel with ventilated rib and bright excellent bore. In 1986 Browning produced sixty full coverage Renaissance Models for the Browning Collectors Association. They were signed by the engraver on the left side of the frame near the knuckle, this one crafted by E. Vos. This gun is covered with beautiful foliate scroll engraving highlighted by cross hatch and blackened shading while the bottom of the triggerguard is marked “46/60”. The metal surfaces retain about 99% plus nickel “coin” finish while the gold plate on the trigger rates excellent. The French walnut wraparound factory target grips feature a thumb rest with an area of checkering on the sides of both panels surrounded by carved beads. They are further adorned with beautifully executed carved scroll surrounded by a field of carved beads that blend into the checkered portion. The Schnabel forend has a wedge of carved scroll surrounded by beads on both sides. The grips and forend remain in wonderful condition. This gun features an undercut serrated Patridge front sight, adjustable rear sight, trigger pull weight adjustment on the frame, and no provisions on the grips for a deflector pin. It includes a beautiful factory suitcase style carry / presentation case with red canvas covered exterior that is leather covered on both ends. The interior is French cut and red velvet lined and both rate excellent. There is a ten-round factory marked magazine included. A beautiful example of the gunmakers art and a rare opportunity for the Browning collector. (8D11759-45) {C&R} (7000/9000)
