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

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
