FACTORY CUSTOM BUILD KRIEGHOFF - GUNMAKING ART - DRIPPING IN GOLD - 3 BARREL SET

Description:
Here is a Factory Custom Built Krieghoff in 12 gauge. Spectacular deep scroll and raised gold animal inlays. Pre-ban invory oak leaf stock and forend inlays. Elaborate "fish scale checkering". This work of art was commissioned by world famous pigeon shooter, LM Donaldson of Miami in 1959. Engraving performed by RF Hessler of Munich, Germany. 

This gun features three barrel sets, all numbered to the gun with Roman Numerial at the breech end of the rib. Barrel number I is 28" OU and choked IC and Full. Barrel number II is also 28" OU choked Imp Mod and Full. Barrel number III is a 30" Top Single choked full. All guns have the elegant diamond post ribs, a hallmark of early Krieghoff guns. 

This fine gun is abundant with little details like the rabbit and squirel gold engraving on the top lever. The engraved quotation "My Hope is Constant in Thee" appears just in front of the trigger guard. I believe this to be a qoutation from Robert the Bruce in 1314. 

In additon an extra stock is included,  finished to the same standard as the Monte Carlo Stock pictured on the gun. It is a field stock with a shorter LOP. 

Weight of the gun with the OU barrels is 8 LBS 1 1/2 OZ. Shipping and Insurance is $125. Stock dimensions follow (based on the Monte Carlo Stock pictured on the gun).
