Exhibition Quality Relief Engraved and Gold and Silver Inlaid Friedrich Korner 20-Bore Lefaucheux Patent Rotary Underlever Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun

Friedrich Korner of Siegen, Westphalia, Germany, was active in the late 19th century to early 20th century. This elaborate sporting gun was from the earlier part of that range given the lack of German proofs. The Damascus barrels have a solid rib with a bead front sight and "F. Korner in Siegen" in gold inlay, gold and silver inlays at the breech ends, and London proofs, including "NOT NITRO <20> BLANK MAX. 60 GRAIN" and "2 1/2" on the undersides. The remaining metal component have floral engraving and relief cut game scenes with gilt stags and boar, the initials "JK" in gold inlay on the trigger guard bow, and a checkered buttplate. Both triggers are single set. The lever arm is horn, and the forend and wrist are checkered. Sling swivels are fitted to the underside of the barrels and buttstock. The length of pull is 13 3/4 inches.

ConditionVery good overall with crisp engraving, bright original gold inlays, aged patina on the silver, traces of original case colors, mostly dark brown patina on the balance, some oxidation pitting, attractive figure, crisp checkering, and general mild overall wear including some small chips on the forearm. Mechanically fine.
