Item Description: Translate description
serial #321839, 500/465 Nitro Express, 25 3/4'' Bohler Spezial-Stahl barrels with bright excellent bore. This imposing double rifle shows 1960 Ferlach proofs and the barrels retain about 95% original blue showing a little thinning and most of the loss due to a thin 1'' scratch along the right barrel nearer the breech. The quarter rib shows maker name inlaid in gold. The action and lockplates show fine silvery case-hardening with just some scattered light oxidation staining and are engraved in full coverage with wonderful crisp foliate filigree scrollwork and roses. The top lever retains most of its original blue while the triggerguard is toning to smooth gray with streaks of blue and the robust action features large squarish fences. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and semi-beavertail forend rate near excellent with a few areas of slightly worn oil finish and minor staining, the forend with a small mild abrasion near the tip on the right side. Stock features left-side Germanic cheekpiece and inlaid gold oval left of the heel engraved with an elephant head. Length-of-pull to the solid black rubber Old English pad is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 5/8'' and showing slight cast-off. The gun locks up tight on-face via dual under-bites and Kersten locks and features gold-washed striker discs, hand-detachable locks, dial cocking indicators, non-automatic safety, and double triggers with the front being a set, though it will require some adjustment as it currently does not set. The action otherwise seems to function well mechanically with robust ejectors and weight is 10 lbs. 2 oz. The rifle is sighted with express sights featuring inlaid gold lines, standing 50-meter rear with three leaves for 100, 150 and 200 and the front sight is a silver bead with folding hood. A wonderful quality Austrian double rifle in a popular big bore cartridge. (13E11965-25) {C&R} (8,000/12,000)
