Item Details
Low Estimate2000
High Estimate3000
serial #962384, 16 ga. x 7x65R with 22 magnum sub caliber chamber insert. 24 3/4" barrels with bright excellent bores in all, the shotgun bores choked modified and full. The barrels on this quality Suhl-made drilling retain about 95% original blue, the loss is due primarily just to even light fading, with some very light muzzle wear. The coin-finished frame rates excellent with some light darkening to pewter on the carry point of the frame. Both triggerguard and top lever retain very good original blue. The frame shows very nice quality deeply engraved game scenes left and right of a bellowing stag and waterfowl, these surrounded by open foliate scroll in geometric engraving with the Thuringen Wald trademark also used by Merkel on the belly of the gun. The European walnut hog back Schweinsrucken comb stock and splinter style forend rate very good plus with only sparsely scattered very light handling marks. The stock features a rounded shadowline cheekpiece with capped pistolgrip and 1" ventilated recoil pad giving a 14 1/4" length of pull; the stock remains uncut and if one wished to put on a more traditional horn buttplate they easily could. The arm is sighted with a silver bead front sight and automatic flip-up rear sight when rifle barrel is actuated. There are professionally fitted dual claw bases for telescopic sight mounting, with two sets of front bases for longer and shorter tube scopes, the rear set mounting a nice Carl Zeiss Diatal-D 4x32 telescopic sight with thick three-post German reticle and clear optics. The scope itself rates very good plus with only minor fading and some light handling marks. The arm is equipped with double set triggers, the front being a single set, cocking indicators, tang-mounted barrel selector, extractors, Greener safety and sling swivels. Overall a really well-executed and quality drilling, made in the same plant as Merkels and Sauers frames, proofed in 1971. (38413-81) {MODERN}
