Single white bead sight on the matte rib with standard markings, 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, standard Suhl proofs on the lower chamber, and full/full chokes. The bolstered action and hand detachable locks are an attractive coin gray with lined cocking indicators, dual triggers (front is articulated), double Kersten crossbolt, and manual sliding tang safety. The action and locks are fully engraved with flowing foliate scroll designs, punch dot texture, and highly detailed game scenes on the locks of an eagle swooping in on a hare on the right with a pair of pheasants, and a pair of hunting dogs (a shorthair and a setter) flushing quail on the left. The underside has the standard Merkel markings, and the trigger guard and tangs are engraved to match. Checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with engraved fittings, decorative vine scroll carved panels on both sides of the wrist, blank initial oval, and checkered plastic Merkel buttplate. Stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/2 inches; drop at heel 2 1/2 inches; length of pull 14 3/8 inches.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 98% original blue finish on the barrels, scattered light handling marks, and some very mild forearm wear. The action and locks have sharp detailed engraving. The wood is also excellent with some small scattered dings, and sharp carving and checkering. Mechanically excellent.
