The fore-end of the gun does have a quite different checkering pattern on it, made up of seven diamonds connected together. The butt stock is not as detailed, it only has the checkering on the grip. The barrel on the other hand has no vent rib but, an engraving done down to the sight pin that looks like a sight rail, the same type ofmachining done on the top of the receiver.There is no extensive engraving done on the receiver, other than the gold inlay.
