Built with blued steel barrels featuring a single nickel bead sight on the matted solid rib which is marked "SIMSON, SUHL (THURINGEN)", "SPEZIAL-GEWEHRLAUFSTAHL" marked on either side of the upper tube, front sling swivel, attractive scrollwork at the breech, 1952 dated German proofs, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are mated to a coin finished bolstered sidelock action which displays scroll engraving surrounding deeply cut oak leaves on the bolsters and a trio of fine game scenes. The game scenes consist of a roe buck and two does running in a forest, the underside has a capercallie rooster displaying for a hen, and the right has a raptor diving on a flock of mallard at a pond. The action also bears a small import mark on the frame rail. The gun features double triggers, cocking indicators, bushed lower firing pin, and a tang mounted safety. The gun is fitted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered three-piece forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, raised cheekpiece, rear sling swivel, and walnut extension with hard rubber Sauer buttplate. Included is a second matching 24 5/8 inch combination barrel set chambered for 7x65R and 12 gauge with a 2 3/4 inch chamber and .034 inch choke constriction. Also included is a set of German claw mounts with no scope and a wood and canvas takedown case for the set. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .729 inches; choke constriction .032/.040 inches; minimum wall thickness .044/.045 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 14 15/16 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 15 oz.

Very fine, retaining 98% original blue and coin finishes with minor freckling and dried grease on the barrels, and minor handling evidence. The wood is very good with some light dings and scratches, buttplate cracked at toe, and overall worn but well-defined checkering. The case and extra barrel set are very fine. Mechanically excellent.
