serial #725586, 12 ga (2 3/4”), 26” Gewehrlaufstahl barrels choked modified in both with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 98-99% original blue with light muzzle wear and some easily missed light scuffs scattered along the barrel. The gray-finished frame is in near excellent condition with some minute flaking on the belly of the frame, otherwise showing foliate scroll and floral engraving, the left side displaying a setter on point at the edge of a field, the right three ducks taking flight, and the barrels, triggerguard, and lever are embellished with splashes of the same foliate scroll engraving. The maker’s marks on the barrel remain clear and legible, import marked by Champlin Firearms of Enid, OK, the shotgun is date-coded to March 1976, and the barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock and forend are in near excellent condition with a few tiny flattened points of checkering on the wrist and some light handling marks, including a easily missed small ding at the tip of the comb; the stock features a 14 1/4” length of pull with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 3/8”. The shotgun locks up a hair off-face with just a bare sliver of light visible between the breeches and standing breeches, via dual underbites and Greener crossbolt with the lever coming to rest at center and features sideclips, an automatic safety, a single nonselective trigger, mechanical hammers, robust ejectors, cocking indicators, and is sighted with a lone brass bead. Included is a leather covered luggage-style case in very good condition showing some light handling and storage marks, with a dark green interior, as well as a 3-piece cleaning rod, snap caps, and oil bottle. An attractive East German ejectorgun. (14B11634-4) {MODERN} (2000/3000)
