Browning Superposed Midas Grade 4-Barrel Skeet Set Over/Under Shotgun, #5249S72. Each pair of barrels -- 12 ga., 20 ga., 28 ga. & .410 bore - are 28'' long with 2-3/4'' chambers, vent ribs with target beads, choked Skt/Skt, and numbered to the gun. The Superposed action features a single selective trigger, non-auto safety and auto ejectors. Receiver is blued with full coverage of floral patterns accentuated by gold inlays of pheasants, ducks and quail, all executed by FN Master Engraver ''J. Lewanczyk''. Best Quality high-gloss European walnut is used on the (one) full beavertail forend and pistol-grip buttstock, with full coverage of checkering at 22 LPI; original Browning recoil pad is fitted. Action has been converted to mechanical instead of intertia triggers to facilitate small bore recoils, and forend has been modified for use with all barrels, to allow removal during disassembly. All items are contained in Browning hard case. Stock dimensions are 14-1/2''x1-1/2''x2''. Mfg'd 1972. Condition is near excellent, with little wear to action and almost no marks to wood. Some discoloration to the lower 12 ga. chamber, perhaps by contact with some caustic substance, which should be cleanable. Est.: $10,000-$12,500. (Modern)(Don Koll collection)
