These are left over new A-1 specials that were intended to be for custom grade guns. The custom grade guns were engraved stateside by Goeffory Gournet.
These guns had finished wood and all metal was in the white, ready for engraving.
There are still a good amount of them around today, mostly in 12g.
I have collaborated with Geoffroy on finishing a number of these over the last 5 years. Maybe 6-8 of them.
I currently have one in the works for myself too.
