Description:

This shotgun features custom Austrian engraved action with a hunting dog chasing two ducks in a marsh scene on the left side and three pheasants on a wooded scene on the right side, the balance of the action, the trigger guard plate and trigger guard are engraved with nice scroll designs. The action was left in the white after the engraving was completed. The break lever has the same engraving pattern with a skeletonized squirrel handle. The remaining parts are blue. Ivory bead front and steel mid bead sight on the solid concave matte rib, 3 inch chambers, (marked 2 3/4 inches), chokes marked full/modified, with ejectors. Single trigger with selector, tang mounted safety and mounted with a checkered walnut beavertail forearm and pistol grip stock with a vented Anti-flinch recoil pad. Complete with 4 custom Italian made barrel sets, 12, 20, 28 and 410 gauge, the 410 and 28 gauge have been shortened to 24 5/8 inches, which removed the chokes, and the 12 and 20 gauge are 24 3/4 inches in length, all but the 12 gauge have high, wide vent ribs, with double ivory bead sights, (one absent, the three mid sights crudely added at a later date), the 12 has a solid rib with both beads absent, and all are 3 inch chambers. The 12 gauge gauges at improved cylinder/cylinder, and the 20 gauge is open bore with no chokes. Length of pull is 14 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall as custom embellished. The original Winchester barrel retains 95% of its original blue finish with some wear on the breech ends, edges and high spots of the gun, with several minor dings and scratches, mostly on the breech end. The action has a smooth dove gray patina. The other 4 barrels retain almost all of their current original finish with some areas of smooth gray and brown, some thinning and wear on all, as well as a few areas of cold blue touch-up. The wood is very good with scattered minor pressure dents, dings and moderate wear to the checkering. The break lever moves a bit freely, otherwise the mechanics are fine. A solid Winchester Model 21 showing honest use, but not abuse.
