Manufactured in August of 1938. This drilling has had the right shotgun barrel fitted with a short free floating .22 LR sleeve with an extractor which the consignor states was installed and zeroed by Krieghoff. The barrel group features fixed beaded blade and automatic flip up rear notch sights, 2 9/16 inch shotgun chamber, full choke, and pre-war commercial proofs. The receiver features light scroll engraving, dual triggers with the front trigger serving as an adjustable set trigger for the center rifle barrel, Greener style crossbolt and side mounted safety levers, and a tang mounted selector switch that acts as the actuator for the rear sight. Mounted on a multi-point checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with a horn grip cap, sling swivels, raised cheekpiece, and a serrated horn buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .675 inches; wall thickness at 9 inches from breech .0375 inches; drop at comb 1 3/8 inches; drop at heel 2 1/4 inches; 13 1/4 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Very good as partially cleaned (receiver) with 85% of the aging blue finish on the barrels. Displaying handling marks, scattered small dings, some edge wear, and clear markings. The receiver has been cleaned with clear engraving, areas of handling marks, and some brown/red oxidation. The revarnished wood is good with small indentations throughout, handling marks mostly in the checkering, and small chips on the buttplate.
