Photo View: (12-456) BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM ENGRAVED MARLIN BALLARD 2-BARREL SET

Engraved by master engraver, 'Ben Shostle', a well known engraver highly credited for his capabilities. The receiver is elaborately engraved in a relief style of foliate arabesque pattern which covers about 2/3 of the sides and the top of the receiver; buttplate is quite extensively engraved; both barrels are engraved and have gold inlays on the ends. One is a 28" .25-20 WCF full octagon barrel, the other is a 30" half octagon .218 Bee which is fitted with flat mounted raised rib with Warne vertical rings that match the engraving on the rest of the gun. Entire set is beautifully done-the stock is outstanding, of 3X quality fancy wood and mounted with a vernier folding tang sight with highly figured checkering. Both barrels have schnabel forearms, mint bores and retain all of the professionally applied custom vivid bright blue; receiver retains all of the very dark but strong, vivid case colors that really compliment the engraving. Beautifully done.
