The barrels retain about 98% original blue with a small light abrasion on the right barrel at the chamber area, a faint drip-like discoloration midway on the right barrel (visible only under direct light), and a few light handling marks. The frame has a pleasant silver-finish with just a trace of light surface oxidation on the left side in the grasping area, and the remaining metal surfaces retain 98% original blue with some silvering on the edges of the triggerguard and two specks of oxidation on the lever. The nicely figured checkered straight grip walnut stock and forend are in about very good condition with small scattered flattened points of checkering on the wrist and forend, a tiny shallow chip on the right side below the lockplate, and scattered light handling marks. The stock features a checkered butt with an about 14 3/16'' length of pull with drops of about 1 5/8'' and 2 1/2'', and the toe line is inlaid with gold accented initials ''HRB''. The frame, lockplates, lever, and triggerguard display lovely overall floral, scroll and riband engraving, and the locks are hand detachable and with gold line cocking indicators. The right barrel is crisply maker marked above the chamber area, and the left barrel is crisply marked ''CANONES "DEMI-BLOC" ESPECIAL. BELLOTH''. The shotgun locks up tightly with the barrels on-face, and the lever comes to rest just left of center. The shotgun features double triggers, ejectors, an automatic safety, 3'' chambers, and is sighted with a lone silver bead. A super sidelock double ejectorgun awaiting the uplands and your dogs.
