Description:

Built with blued Bohler Rasant steel chopperlump barrels featuring a single white bead sight on the concave matted solid rib which is marked "1790 - Josef Just, Ferlach - 1990" in fine gold inlay, small wedges of scroll at either breech, 1990 dated Ferlach proofs, import mark under the forend, and 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a gorgeous coin finished sidelock action which displays near full coverage scroll engraving with deeply cut vines running through the center of all sides. The scroll surrounds the gold plated pins and continues onto the triggerguard, toplever, and both tangs. Along with a gold inlaid "S" at the bottom of the exposed barrel lug. The gun features bushed firing pins, dual gold triggers, gold cocking indicators, and a tang mounted automatic safety with gold "S" indicator. The engraving is signed to the right of the trigger "Christian Damsberger". The gun is mounted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved Deeley release and shoe and a straight grip stock with black rubber recoil pad. Included is a wood and leather takedown case, a pair of snap caps, and a nickel oiler. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both measure .616 inches; choke constriction .010/.022 inches; minimum wall thickness .034/.035 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 3/4 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 7 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence some dried grease on the action, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Ejectors trip when forend is released requiring manual reset, otherwise mechanically excellent. Case is very fine with some storage wear. A great chance to own a beautiful piece from one of Ferlach's greats!
