Description:

This shotgun consists of a 30 inch over/under barrel set with ported barrels, screw-in chokes (skeet installed), 2 3/4 inch chambers and a vent rib with a Hi-Viz front and steel mid sights. The second is a 34 inch single lower barrel with a high vent rib with a white bead front and steel mid bead sights, 2 3/4 inch chamber, choked full. The muzzle end of the rib can be adjusted up or down. Both sets have a 1 1/2 inch wedge of floral scroll engraving at the breech end as well as a gold inlaid wire band around the breech end. Both are numbered to the gun, are marked with the commercial "N" proofmark, "IA" and the Ulm antler proofmark. They are also marked "WILKERSON/SHOT GUNS/of/ULM". They share a high gloss multi-point checkered nicely figured walnut forearm with floral scroll and punch dot engraving on the knuckle with gold inlaid highlights. The action is very nicely engraved with floral scroll patterns with a punch dot background. There are gold inlaid wire borders on the sides and bottom. Each side of the action has a silver background scene: three Native Americans in a canoe about to spear a moose inlaid in gold on the left side, a gold-inlaid bucking horse and rider on the right, and a mountain lion in a wooded scene and a gold-inlaid cowboy on a horse roping a calf on the underside. Each scene has a gold-inlaid decorative wire border. At the bottom of the scene on the left side is signed "ABEE" with a small bee to the left. The top of the receiver has gold-inlaid wire bordering and a gold-inlaid broken clay pigeon. Single gold-washed trigger, tang mounted safety and mounted with a high gloss multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with adjustable comb and adjustable R.A.D. aluminum and rubber recoil pad. Length of pull is currently at 14 1/2 inches, drop at the heel and comb will vary, the bore diameter on the O/U barrels is .739/.740 with a wall thickness of .063/.060. The single barrel has a bore diameter of .740 and a wall thickness of .057. Comes in a aluminum Krieghoff combination locking case with royal blue lining. In the case is three bore mops, a rubber Kickeez recoil pad, three additional Briley choke tubes (modified, cylinder and improved cylinder) in a plastic case and a choke tool.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The receiver retains 98% original blue finish with some mild edge wear and a couple of very minor scratches. The trigger guard has thinned to a smooth gray patina, and a screw head appears absent from the right side of the frame. The barrel sets retain 90% original blue finish with loose limited to some muzzle wear and wear and some minor scratches from removal and replacement of the forearm. All of the gold inlay remains. The wood is very good, with a minor scratch on the stock, a short crack visible on the right side of the wrist, and overall a few minor dings and very crisp checkering. The markings and engraving remain crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. The case is good with a number of scratches on the exterior and some staining on the lining.
