Description:

This shotgun is part of the series of the final Auto-5 shotguns manufactured in Belgium during the early 90's. The barrel is fitted with a single steel bead sight on the ventilated rib with 2 3/4 inch chamber and choke marked improved cylinder. The receiver displays game scenes consisting of a spaniel and ducks in a wooded marsh on the left and a pointer flushing a covey of pheasant in a prairie on the right with both flanked by floral scroll engraving. The top of the receiver is marked "Limited series of the last 100" on the left with "Original Auto 5 Sweet Sixteen/Made in Belgium" on the right, also flanked by floral scroll engraving. "010/100" is hand cut on the rear of the receiver above the tang. The engraver's signature is present above the trigger guard on the left side of the receiver. Mounted in a lightly figured, multipoint checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock. Includes the original box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue and coin finishes with minimal light handling marks, crisp engraving, a slight chip on the rear sight of the forearm, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. Box is fair with tape repairs, scattered tears, and storage marks.
