This four barrel set consists of two over/under barrels and two top single barrels, all are 12 gauge with an ivory bead front and brass mid bead sights, with ejectors.

One single barrel is 34 inches in length, choked marked "M", (modified), marked 2 3/4 inch and the other is 32 inches in length, choke marked "IM", (improved modified), 2 3/4 inch marked. All share the same extra fancy checkered walnut forearm with floral scroll knuckle.

The bottom of the action is decorated with floral scroll engraving with a gold inlaid crown and gold inlaid "Krieghoff/Model 32". The top of the action and break lever have a geometric design and there is a gold inlaid crown on the break lever. The upper tang and trigger guard are decorated with floral scroll designs and the upper tang is signed "W. Niemeier". Gold single trigger, tang mounted safety and mounted with an extra fancy checkered walnut high comb pistol grip stock with a grip cap and Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad. Comes with an extra high gloss skip-line checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock absent of a buttplate and grip cap. Complete with a hard leather double compartment takedown case with double leather carrying handles, brown felt lining and brass hardware. Length of pull is 14 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. Each barrel set retains at least 98% of the original blue finish with all showing some minor wear and scratches from normal assembly of the forearm. The remaining metal surfaces retain 99% plus original blue finish, with all of the gold and silver inlay remaining. The stock is also excellent with only the slightest handling/storage marks and very crisp checkering. The engraving is sharp. Mechanically excellent. The extra stock and forearm are excellent with a few minor pressure dents and handling marks and crisp checkering.
