The gun is signed "G.Richter" on the left of the action, though the label on the included original factory box lists the engraver as a Hans Ulrich Sorg. The gun features bushed firing pins, a single selective trigger, and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun features a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered three-piece forend with engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with black grip cap and factory buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes, minor handling evidence, some dried grease on the action, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine and the case is excellent.
