Blade front sight and folding leaf rear sight on the solid matte rib. The shotgun barrels are 16 gauge, chambered 2 3/4" and the rifle is 5.6mm. The top of the right barrel is marked "CHRISTOPH FUNK" and the left "SUHL GERMANY". The bottom of the receiver is marked "MADE FOR BAKER AND KIMBALL / BOSTON". Nitro proofed barrels with various proof marks on the bottoms. The barrels and break lever are blue and the remaining surfaces casehardened. The scalloped receiver has simple wire border engraving. Double triggers, cocking indicators, tang mounted selector, greener safety, recessed folding tang sight and mounted with checkered walnut splinter forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber grip cap and solid black Decelerator recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very good as refurbished. The barrels retain approximately 95% of the thinning finish with some areas near the breech end fading to a smooth brown and overall scattered minor scratches and dings. The receiver has a smooth mottled gray patina with a trace of case color. The wood is very good as refinished with a few minor dings on the forearm and some small minor dents in the stock, and crisp checkering. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is fine. An extremely rare Drilling in 22RF.
