The right side of the breech area is very neatly engraved with the name of a previous owner ''GENE HENSLEE''. The No. 5 walnut target grip remains in very fine condition with mostly worn finish and some scattered light handling marks, some contours of the grip having been shortened somewhat during the period of use. This earlier production variant is equipped with low-profile flattop square notch rear sight and non-adjustable pinned thick plain blade front.

Case is equipped with dual nickeled catches, gold-embossed factory label on the interior and leather carry handle. Three empty Remington ammunition boxes are included as well. Mr. Henslee must have been quite the pistol enthusiast as a few other guns engraved with his name have been sold at auction. There was a country singer from Oklahoma around the time period of this gun named Gene Henslee who may be a likely candidate. In any event this is a fine cased example of these quality target pistols. (13B11678-25) {C&R} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (1500/2000)
