serial #2482, 16 ga (2 1/2”) / 9.3x72mmR, 27 1/2” Kruppstahl barrels choked a tight full and improved modified with bright about very fine bores showing a few small areas of mild oxidation speckling and the right barrel with a shallow lightly raised dent about 9” ahead of the chamber. The rifle bore is excellent with crisp rifling. The barrels retain about 94% original blue showing some scattered light handling marks and small areas thinning to mild gray-brown patina under bright light. The action retains perhaps 50% vibrant case-hardened colors in the more protected areas with the balance muting and toning to a pleasant silvery and smoky gray case-hardened patina. The action features some simple line borders with a matted section at the top and the edges of the barrel breeches with a nice geometric border and scallop-engraved dolls head extension. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend with subtle schnabel remain in very fine condition showing an old oil finish with some scattered light dings and handling marks, there is a tiny drying crack and a few small flakes at the upper tang. The stock features left-side European cheekpiece and smooth steel buttplate and the arm is equipped with sling swivels. Length-of-pull is 14” with drops of about 1 5/8” and 2 3/4”. Features Greener safety, upper tang barrel selector, German silver cocking indicator pins, extractor, manual flip-up u-notch rear sight (somewhat loose) and German silver bead front sight. Lock-up is by dual underbites with dolls head extension and is tight on-face. The front trigger for the rifle currently does not set properly though the action otherwise seems to function normally. A quality Suhl drilling. (13B11739-40) {C&R} (2000/2500)
