Description:

A design made popular in Europe, where hunting seasons often overlap, this is a side-by-side twin barrel 16 gauge shotgun with a 8x57-J.R rifled barrel mounted beneath and between them. Blade front sight and folding leaf rear sight on a solid matte rib, with the shotgun barrels marked "SEMPERT & KRIEGHOFF, SUHL." on either side of the rear sight and "KRUPP-LAUF" under the forearm. A nitro proof is present on the barrel, along with a "SUHL" stamp and a "7,8" caliber marking and "16/1" bore markings. The action is heavily scroll and floral engraved, with the sides almost entirely covered. Game scenes on the sides of the action and the locks, and the selector switch on the upper tang. The stock is checkered walnut, with a pistol grip, black grip cap, right handed shadow line cheekpiece, sling swivel, engraved cartridge trap for 4 rifle cartridges on underside of buttstock, and a serrated buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with 80% of the blue finish, showing a light gray patina on the shotgun barrels above the forearm, smooth wear around the muzzles, and light handling marks. The case colors have faded, showing a few hints of the original pattern. Stock is good as repaired, with a mended chip and crack directly under the cheekpiece, a slight crack at the end of the top tang, and mild pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
