These Grand European Combination Guns were manufactured in Japan from 1983 to 1985. This rifle features a 12 gauge shotgun barrel over a .223 Rem caliber rifle barrel.

The barrel is fitted with a Lyman raised ramp front blade sight with brass bead and an adjustable rear folding leaf rear sight mounted on a matte quarter rib marked "Grand European" in script. There are scope mount bases on the quarter rib. Standard barrel markings. The barrels are blue with jeweled side flats and breech face and the remaining parts are finished coin. The action is engraved with a moose on the left side, two capercaillie fighting on the right side and a bugling red stag on the bottom which is also marked "Grand / European" in an oval panel, all surrounded by floral scroll engraving. The trigger guard and forearm knuckle have floral scroll engraving and there is a feather design on the break lever. Single trigger, tang mounted automatic safety and mounted with a checkered select walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with engraved grip cap, raised comb, cheek piece and solid rubber Winchester recoil pad. Complete in a Winchester leather trimmed canvas hard takedown case with green lining, scope rings, two sets of quick release sling swivels, three choke tubes (one installed, two in the case), and choke tool. LOP 14".

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 98% plus original blue finish with loss limited with under the forearm from normal assembly and light handling marks. The remaining surfaces retain all of the original coin finish. The wood is also excellent plus with only slight overall handling marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent.
