Either that or an eagle about to take flight and go after whatever is flying below him.

I'm going with buzzard.... that or a condor.

Thank you, Dean. A vulture on a Scott shotgun would be quite the rarity. Maybe a clearer picture would further identify the bird.

Here's those photos of rib and hang tag. Thanks again

SN on the watermark

Here's that photo of the Black Bird of Death... LOL

I think now with a clearer picture it is an eagle. You can see it has feathers on its neck and head.

Still a rare subject on a Scott. A wonderful gun.

I agree, and it appears to have a white tail and head… and we know bald eagles prey on waterfowl so it fits right into the rest of the engraving.

Thank you gentlemen. I once saw a bald eagle on the coast as it came around a point. Hundreds of sea gulls and ducks all took flight at the same time in alarm. Quite a sight.

I will continue to care for it, research and then pursue that sale at some point in the future.

Till later
