Unmarked Outside Hammer Double Barrel Breech-loading Shotgun, probably of American mfg. using some European-made parts, NVSN, 12 ga., 27.25'' Damascus twist barrels with German silver bead front sight on full-length central rib and an ''M'' engraved at breech plus possibly some other initials inlaid in gold but now indecipherable; automatic shell ejectors. Underside lever pivots right to open breech. Fully and delicately scroll engraved on barrel tang which also has a gold inlaid geometric design and a fancy initial ''K'' in gold, receiver with game scenes on each side, lever, sideplates each with hunting dog scenes, and buttplate tang. Nicely grained varnished hardwood buttstock is checkered at wrist; small forend with a carved design. Condition is good showing no original finish to metal; engraving is somewhat worn in places but mostly distinct. Stocks are smooth and sound with clear checkering and retain most of what appears to be their original varnish. Actions are tight and crisp; double hammers and triggers work as they should; bores are clean and shiny. Est.: $400-$600. (Antique)
