Engraved Adolf Loesche Drilling

Blade front and automatic flip up notch sights, "118/35" proof on the barrels, 2 9/16 inch chambers, extractor, and full chokes. The rib is marked "ADOLF LOESCHE HOFBUSCHENN MAGDEBURG" in silver inlay. The receiver is fully engraved with scenes of birds and game animals and flowing leafy scroll background on the balance. With a Greener style side safety, tang selector switch, and front set trigger. Checkered pistol grip stock with horn trigger guard, cheekpiece, engraved cartridge trap, and hard rubber buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .722/.721 inch; minimum wall thickness .025/.025 inch; drop at comb 1 3/8 inches; drop at heel 2 1/4 inches; length of pull 14 inches.

ConditionFine. 85% plus finish remains on the barrels with some muzzle wear, small dings, and sharp markings. The receiver has an overall gray patina with handling marks and some light spotting. The wood is also fine with well-defined though worn checkering, dings and dents, and a small chip absent at the right side of the wrist. Mechanically excellent.
