Description:
24 ga. by 22 Hornet, 23 7/8'' Krupp Laufstahl barrels with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 97% original blue, the loss due primarily to some even fading. They feature a simple silver blade front sight and manual flip-up u-notch rear and the rib is fitted with a dual claw bases, no rings are present. The left barrel is maker marked and there is light engraving at the breeches and on the Greener extension. The frame is a silvery pewter patina and features full coverage open flowing Germanic foliate scroll with game scene vignettes left, right and bottom. Featured are two European boars right, a stag and hind roebuck left with a standing hart amidst a woodland backdrop on the belly of the frame. There is a nice horn trigger guard with a small fish lip curl at the center of bow, the guard rating excellent with only a very tiny flake along the left sharp edge, the pistol grip cap as well is scalloped horn and rates excellent. The checkered European walnut pistol grip buttstock rates very fine with crisp edges and much original varnish showing a very nice left side shadow line cheek piece and the expected light dings and handling marks that come from the years; the near fully checkered splinter fore end is similar with a very nice horn tip insert. The length of pull to the grooved horn butt plate is 13 3/4'' to the front single set trigger and the drops are 1 1/2'' and 2 7/8''. The arm features a nice trapdoor cartridge box along the toe line, Greener cross bolt, pin-style cocking indicators and left-side Greener safety. Lockup is tight on-face and the gun seems to function well mechanically. A very handsome and a very handy small bore scalloped box lock combination gun, proved in 1938
