Description:

Manufactured in 1974 and subsequently masterfully embellished by Walter Kolouch. Blued steel, vent rib barrels with dual white bead sights, 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, and skeet/skeet chokes. The blued receiver is engraved with scrollwork and scenes from the American West, all rendered in and bordered in gold. The right side of the receiver shows a cowboy hunting a buffalo on horseback, the underside shows an American Indian in a canoe with bear pelts, and the left side features a prospector entering the infamous "Lost Dutchman Mine" believed to be located in Arizona. The scrollwork and gold borders extend to the barrel wedges, tangs, and release lever as well as a gold inlaid "12" on the rear of the barrel rib. The trigger guard shows a golden flower and just ahead of that is a golden fleur-de-lis design. Kolouch marked his work below the release lever "ENG.W.KOLOUCH/McMINNVILLE.ORE." Beautifully figured, fancy walnut forend and pistol grip stock with fluer-de-lis checkering, engraved grip cap, inscription oval marked "RD", and Pachmayr rubber buttpad. Includes three matching extra barrels, one in 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore and a factory case that houses the set. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull. Weight: 8lbs 2 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall as professionally embellished, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes, minor handling evidence, some gaps on the forend wood, and sharp stock checkering. The extra barrel sets are also excellent. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
