Description:

Built with blued Bohler Rasant steel demiblock barrels featuring a ramped beaded blade front sight, gold centerlined flip-up rear sight, and scroll engraved and gold inlaid German style claw mounts holding a Zeiss Daivari-Z 1.5-6x42mm scope on the matted solid rib, scroll engraving and gold inlaid lines at the breech, front sling swivel, import mark just ahead of the forend, and Ferlach proof marks dated April, 1987. The shotgun barrel features a 2 3/4 inch chamber with extractor and choke constriction of .032 inches. The barrels are fitted to the coin finished bolstered sidelock action with double Kersten crossbolt which displays gold inlaid borders around deep relief oak leaf engraving on the fences and scroll engraving surrounding a trio of relief cut game scenes before spilling onto the toplever, tangs, and triggerguard which is marked with a gold inlaid "HB" monogram. The game scenes consist of a pair of fighting roe bucks on the left with does watching in the background, a calling capercallie on the underside, and a chamois defending its kid from a golden eagle with a second chamois in the background. While the work is unsigned, it is clear that the engraving was executed by the hands of a highly skilled engraver. The gun features cocking indicators on the lockplates, gold dual triggers (front single set), and a tang mounted manual safety with a gold inlaid "S" indicator. The gun is fitted with an attractively figured fish scale checkered forend with engraved and gold inlaid forend iron and a pistol grip stock with black grip cap, Shelhamer chinstrap, raised cheekpiece, rear sling swivel, and a Pachmayr White Line recoil pad. Length of pull 14 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 13 oz. (with scope).

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue, coin, and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a few minor marks on the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. Scope optics are sharp.
