The scalloped blued box lock action is lightly engraved with border patterns and numbered "11051" on the watertable. High relief chiseled oak leaf and cluster engraving on the fences and gold inlaid intertwining initials visible on the top of lever. These initials appear to be L.K. and speculated, though not confirmed, that of Ludwig Krieghoff. The bottom of the barrels are marked "FLUSSSTAHL-KRUPP-ESSEN" and numbered "11051" along with standard German proofs. Single German silver bead sight on the matted concave rib, ejector, and light engraving at the breech. Right barrel marked "SEMPERT & KRIEGHOFF" and left marked "SUHL". Both barrels gauge at extra full with 2 3/4 inch chambers. Multi-point checkered splinter forearm with horn forend insert and pistol grip stock with cheekpiece, and a horn grip cap, trigger guard, and buttplate. Length of pull is 13 3/8 inches.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 80% plus original blue finish with some light handling marks and light wear at the muzzle and on edges/high spots. Front sling swivel absent. The wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches, filled rear sling swivel hole, some minor age related cracking in the horn pieces, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
