The gun is extensively engraved. The lockplates are literally covered with fine scroll engraving, as are all the screws. The barrels are a beautiful Damascus pattern. The stock is very finely checkered, and has a carved dividing line down the wrist, and shell carving at the base of the pistol grip. There is a shield shaped escutcheon plate on the underside of the butt. The forend is extensively checkered, and has additional engraved steel fitting at the tip.
