Description:

The 28 gauge Superposed was introduced in 1963, with this gun manufactured in 1967. Features double bead sights on a vent rib matte barrel, marked on the left side with the "MADE IN BELGIUM" marking, 2 3/4" chamber information on the right and choked skeet/skeet. Coin finished frame, with excellent scenes engraved by the master R. Coenen (signed on both sides of the frame). Coverage is 98%, with a scene of five game birds in a woodland scene on the left, four birds taking off on the right, two birds in flight on the underside, and a pair of rabbits on the trigger guard, with extensive scrollwork around the scenes. Background is matte, cut deep and sharp enough to give a nearly three dimensional appearance to the scenes. Fitted with a gold washed single trigger and a selective safety. Fancy walnut checkered round knob short tang pistol grip stock with a Browning buttplate. Length of pull is approximately 13 1/2 inches. Complete with a fur lined Browning Airways hard takedown case.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retain nearly 99% original blue finish with some very light forearm wear, some very light handling marks, and some discoloration near the muzzles on the right side. The frame and trigger guard have only the slightest handling marks, along with typical safety wear. There are a few chips absent around the upper tang and a small crack in the stock on the left side at the back of the trigger guard; otherwise, the wood is very fine with some light handling marks. Some signs of possible salt wood at the stock head mostly on the right of the receiver and the right of the triggerplate. The case is excellent.
