Blued, Winchester Proof steel barrels with matted solid rib, 2 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, and full/full marked chokes.

The engraving consists of full coverage fine scrollwork surrounding scenes of a setter flushing a pair of pheasants on the left and three mallards on the right, all rendered in beautiful semi-relief gold inlay. The underside of the receiver is marked "TRAP" in gold and "PAUL JAEGER INC. JENKINTOWN, PA". The bottom of the trigger guard is marked "LEO KELLER" in gold (no information on Mr. Keller available). The barrels are also engraved with matching style wedges at the breeches extending 4 inches. Winchester oval proofs on both barrels and the receiver. Single selective trigger with shoe and tang mounted safety. Beautifully figured, checkered forend and pistol grip stock with engraved fittings, attractive contrasting maple wood grip cap, and Pachmayr rubber recoil pad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally upgraded and embellished by the shop of Paul Jaeger, retaining 99% blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine, slightly proud of the receiver, slight rub from release lever, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
