Fabulous Arnold Griebel Signed Engraved and Gold Inlaid World War II Era Winchester Model 12 Pigeon Grade Slide Action Shotgun

Manufactured in 1942 and subsequently engraved by Arnold Griebel. Blued Winchester Proof steel barrel with white front and mid bead sights on the ventilated rib, chamber marked 2 3/4 inches, choke marked full. The barrel has sprays of floral scroll from the muzzle and chamber with more floral scroll on the barrel collar. The engraving continues onto the receiver where the floral scrollwork surrounds a game scene on either side. The left side displays two pointers and a lone grouse in a wooded scene, while the right shows a quartet of mallards in a marsh. The bottom of the action ahead of the loading gate is engraved "ENGR. BY A. GRIEBEL". The trigger guard has flourishes of floral scroll around a blank initial oval. Mounted in a magnificently figured and contrasted fleur-de-lis checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with blued steel grip cap engraved with the initials "F/B", and a Pachmayr solid recoil pad. Bore and stock measurements: bore nine inches from the breech .723 inches; choke constriction .046 inches; 1 3/8 inch drop at the comb; 1 5/8 drop at the heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs.

ConditionExcellent overall as embellished by Arnold Griebel, retaining 95% plus blue finish with slide wear, limited handling marks, crisp engraving, and crisp stock checkering. Mechanically excellent. This would make an excellent addition to any American shotgun collection!
