polished and blued, right

A presentation piece given to someone to commemorate a particular accomplishment in the H&R manufacture chain. Best guess, but polished and bright blued receivers were common "award" or presentation pieces and this engraving kinda bears this out, I think. For instance, a base commander retires and part of his send-off included a dressed-up rifle to hang over the fireplace or rack-up in the obligatory gun cabinet. A different world, to be sure.

Where is the serial number on this receiver? I don't see one in the usual place on the heel?

[Sunray]

It paint or paper?

[Chaz]

Are those chips in the finish suggesting that it's chromed?

Very nice trophy type piece. Would be neat to have on my desk if I had an extra grand in my pocket.

Nothing but a paper weight. You see there are no Serrations for the sight. Rick B
