The shotgun barrels have 3 inch chambers and choke constrictions of .017/.027 inches. The barrels are mated to a highly attractive coin finished hand detachable sidelock action which displays gorgeous oak leaf engraving around a "KRIEGHOFF" banner on the underside and a pair of beautifully cut game scenes, one on either side. The left game scene shows a drift of four wild boars rummaging for a meal amongst the trees and the left side shows a roe buck with his doe and two fauns standing among the trees, both were cut in exceptional detail by the hand of factory engraver Katryn Nonn who has signed the piece "Nonn" on the left below the scene. The gun features two gold triggers (front is single set), shotgun cocking indicators, tang mounted manual rifle cocking piece, and a tang mounted safety. The gun is fitted with a highly-figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with raised Bavarian style cheekpiece, rear sling stud, and a rubber recoil pad. Length of pull 14 1/2 inches. Weight 9 lbs. 11 oz. (with scope).

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The scope has sharp optics. This is a beautiful example of German gunmaking!
