16 bore, 30 5/8'' damascus barrels with moderately oxidized bores showing some scattered partially bright areas. The barrels show antique Belgian proof marks but the gun is obviously of German construction given its other features. The barrels show an old light cleaning with generous older reapplied plum-brown finish with areas toning to gunmetal gray, some scattered partially smoothed-over light pitting and strong damascus twist patterns. The back action lockplates retain some wisps of gray case-hardened patina and features some light foliate embellishments and rather rudimentary hammer block safeties. The walnut stock is the most appealing aspect of this gun featuring a wonderful carved stag's head behind the lower tang complete with realistic glass eyes along with a carved floral blossom swirling out from behind the rounded left-side cheekpiece. The stock rates very fine showing a little older added varnish and some scattered light dings and handling marks exhibiting some subtle attractive grain figure. The fittings are German silver and in typical form with some light foliate embellishments and the sling swivels and a brass-tipped hickory ramrod are present. The hammers are rather out of time but the locks otherwise seem to function normally. (13B11804-31) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1800/2200)
