VLA A-array observations at 20, 6, and 2 cm and B-array observations at 20 and 6 cm of the quasar B2 1320 + 299, which has a very unusual radio structure are presented. In addition to a component, A, coincident with the quasar, there are two lobes of radio emission, B and C, on the same side of A. These are located at distances of approximately equal to 25 and 50 arcsec respectively from A. The present observations show that A has a flat-spectrum component coincident with the quasar and a weak outer component at a distance of approximately equal to 4 arcsec along PA approximately equal to 100. The morphology of B resembles a head-tail type of structure with its tail towards the north-east. The magnetic field lines in component B appear to follow the bend in the tail. Component C exhibits some extension towards to the north-west. The possible nature of B2 1320 + 299 is discussed and it is suggested that while A appears to be an independent source, the relation between B and C, if they are associated at all, is unclear. Deep optical observations are essential to help clarify the situation.
