Manufactured in 1972. Blued Special Steel barrels with dual white bead sights on the matted vent rib, single band of engraving at the upper breech, chokes marked "**$"/"**$" (skeet/skeet), and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The coin grey receiver is engraved in the Diana Grade pattern with flowing scroll designs surrounding four game scenes depicting mallards in a marsh on the right, a covey of pheasant in a wooded scene on the left, a pair of quail on the underside, and a pair of rabbits on the trigger guard. The action is signed "A.BEE" on the left side beneath the game scene for Master Engraver Angelo Bee, who was at this time still working for FN before setting out on his own to become one of America's most prolific engravers. Single gold plated trigger and tang mounted safety/selector switch with gold "S", "O", and "U". Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered modified removable forend with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with Browning ventilated recoil pad.
