Single nickel bead sight on the solid rib, with "F Kettner Koln" in gold, cylinder choke bores, 2 1/2 inch chambers and an extractor. Bores measure .668 and .666, with .059 wall thickness. The frame and locks are scroll engraved, with floral designs on the screws and a horn triggerguard and pistol grip handrest. Checkered walnut stock, with engraving on the splinter forearm hardware, checkering on the horn break lever, sling swivels, raised shadow line cheekpiece, floral engraved steel buttplate, a 13 3/4 inch length of pull and zero cast and toe. A steel disc is inlaid into the left side of the buttstock, with an engraved belt design around a gold inlaid "WR".

Rating Definition:

Fair. The barrels show around 70% of the brown finish, with a strong Damascus pattern, darker color in the protected areas, scattered pitting and small dents. The frame and locks show a mixed gray patina with mild spotting. The stock is good, with a patch of replaced wood on the buttstock behind the cheekpiece, a few scattered chips and dings, and signs of light sanding near the locks. Mechanically good.
