Nicely figured, offset full stock, with cheek & hand checkered wrist & forend. Finely inlaid silver capped forend with accent engraving. There is a 3'' repaired crack along right side of stock under the breech, which does not detract from overall appearance. Engraved steel trapdoor buttplate, with spring release hidden button. Foliate engraved triggerguard with checkered spur. Engraved Puma head on folding barrel handle. A finely built & highly unusual shotgun. Antique, No FFL Req - Value: 4000 to 20000
