The right side has matching banners with void oval. The rear of the action has a sliding safety bolt. The underside of the action has English proofs. The trigger guard is decorated with a flower head design. It has a bag shaped wood grip. The hammer is fitted with flint. The pistol's cocking and firing mechanisms work crisply.
