This is an an interesting article on the WC Scott Premiere grade guns. The gun in the article was made later than yours, but Scott was charging a pretty £ when they made them.

Could you post a picture of the rib inscription, a close up of the hang tags and confirm the serial number? I have a few early guns and a copy of the only book I know of that addresses the maker. I can give a little information from that info.

Hi Bill, Ken and Arthur.. thank you again for the time.. I busy in the woods working these days but will post those photos by this weekend. Have a good one.

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
