Pre-World War II Engraved Emil Kerner Boxlock Drilling

Established in 1890 Emil Kerner carried on an almost 300 year legacy of Kerner gunsmithing in Suhl. Blue Krupp Steel barrels with a beaded blade front and automatic flip up rear notch sight, matted rib, chambers measured at 2 1/2 inches, single extractor, and standard German proofs on the underside. The scalloped, side clipped boxlock action is an attractive coin gray with a Greener style cross-bolt, full coverage leafy scroll engraving and finely detailed game scenes of a doe and stag on the right and another stag and doe on the left. Dual triggers, Greener style side safety, checkered cocking piece for the rifle barrel, and carved horn trigger guard. Checkered walnut forearm with Deeley latch and engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, sling swivels, raised cheek piece, cartridge trap with engraved hunting scene, and serrated horn buttplate. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 11/16 inch drop at heel; 13 3/4 inch length of pull.

ConditionVery fine, retaining 90% plus original blue and coin finishes, scattered scratches along the barrels, and some areas of light spotting. The wood is good with numerous cracks and repairs with two pins in the wrist and a through bolt at the head and a pinned section at the action, trigger guard separated with a crack, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
