serial #19962, 11mm Mauser & 16 ga, 27 5/8'' barrels with rifle right and shotgun left, the rifle bore mostly bright and very fine showing some small areas of light pitting and strong rifling throughout and the shotgun bore partially bright rating good with some scattered light pitting its full-length. The barrels retain perhaps 75% original blue that is drifting to a pleasant plum-blue tone with other areas toning to a deep gunmetal gray and showing scattered light handling marks. Funk's maker information is neatly inlaid in gold along the crosshatched rib and there are dual silver band inlays at the breech. The action and back action lockplates have toned to a mix of nice silvery case-hardened patina and mild gray-brown with a little minor oxidation staining. The arm is embellished with wide oak leaf and acorn motifs, the lockplates with somewhat simple deer scenes. The buttplate has a nice crosshatched trap with cutouts for one shotgun shell and two rifle cartridges. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good plus condition showing some scattered old dings and scuffs, the forend with some thin chipping along the edges. Stock fit is otherwise excellent with nice left-side shadowline cheekpiece and lovely tiger stripe grain figure throughout. The barrels lock-up solid on-face and the gun features sling swivels, fine v-notch rear sight, silver bead front and double triggers with front rifle set. The locks with rebounding hammers seem to function well mechanically. A very good German cape gun from this quality maker. (13B11108-150) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)
