Hard to tell anything without photographs.

Was hoping it is a Special Edition and someone could tell me about it without pictures

As far as I know there was never a carved model produced. TC did have a custom shop called Fox Ridge Outfitters (I think), perhaps someone had the gun custom carved, then again it was probably someone with some skills that carved their rifle because that is what they wanted.

THX If that is the case that someone had great carving skills . I already have one in 50 and I also have a Green Mountain 45 cal drop in barrel .I think I will put the Green Mountain on this stock and then it will have a home

Serial number looks like it was a 1970 model

I've been collecting and selling TCs for over 50 years and never saw a factory carved one

No, I have not either. It is not unusual to find them customized or modified in some way by a previous owner.

In the 1970's the gun shop at Silver Dollar City would sell T/C Hawkens or CVA Mountain rifles with such fanciful carvings. These are not factory offerings. Well carved and artfully executed, but in my opinion really don't add value to the rifle.

THX ALL I most likely will never sell it it has very mice relief carving so I will just enjoy it.
