Description:

Located in southern Austria, Ferlach has a long and upstanding tradition of producing some of the finest hunting weapons of all types, dating back to the 1500s and continuing to this day.

Beaded blade front and fixed notch rear sights, claw type scope rings on a raised quarter section of the rib, standard markings and proofs, and selective ejectors. The coin finished receiver features elaborate and detailed African big cat engraving of a leopard stalking gazelle on the right and two lions with a fresh killed cape buffalo on the left. The balance has full coverage fine scroll engraving. With dual adjustable set triggers, cocking indicators, and tang mounted thumb safety. Skip line checkered forearm with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, raised cheekpiece, silver initial oval and solid rubber recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally partially refinished (barrels). 99% of the high quality custom blue finish remains with a slightly dimpled texture underneath, light handling marks, and some small surface scratches. The receiver engraving is sharp and detailed. The wood is also very fine with crisp checkering, some light chipping around the receiver edges, attractive figure, and some small dings.
