Bottom of Action: Bulino engraving of beaver building damn in a evergreen scene 

Engraving signed on the trigger plate: “Inc. VENZI – S”  

Rolled trigger bow and cast trigger for RH shooter 

Manual safety 

Diamond shaped hand with 32 LPI and semi-beavertail 

Maker’s hallmark inlayed in gold on forend with gold crown on top lever. 

The action body, lock plates and furniture are brushed to coin like finish. 

The 26" chopper lump barrel have a hand-filed flat game rib and are choked: .010" and .025". The number "1" inlayed in gold on the top rib at the breech. 

Properly scaled action is nicely filed and the engraving is very well done. 

Beautifully figured walnut stock has a straight grip with a "diamond" shaped hand, and a checkered butt. The very slim, semi-beavertail forend has a push rod release and the maker's hallmark inlaid in gold. All are checkered in an expertly executed 32 LPI checkering.

Gun shows signs of use with a few handling marks on the wood and a few blemishes in the barrels black. Barrel remain sound and dent/bulge free with perfect bores and chambers. The stock is crack and repair fee and the action and lock plates are superb.
