serial #26914, 16 ga (2 1/2”), 29 3/4” Witten Excelsior-stahl barrels choked about modified and full with mostly bright about very good bores showing some thin cleaning striations, sparse pinprick pits and a couple tiny shallow dings. There is a small bit of loose solder audible in the rib that is relatively minor and the barrels also show F.W. Kessler markings. The barrels retain about 90% of a period reapplied rust blue that shows some areas thinning to gunmetal under bright light, light handling marks and some sparse remnants of pinprick pitting beneath the finish. The blue is taking on a pleasant deep plum patina under bright light and the solid rib shows nice matting. The action has mostly toned to a mix of pewter and silvery case-hardened patina with a bit of fine pinprick pitting along the bottom edges and some wisps of strong case-hardened colors in the protected areas. The action is embellished in near full coverage with light filigree scrollwork and bouquets, the fences with foliate motifs in-relief and the top neatly matted. The barrel extension shows a gold inlaid “1” indicating the arm was probably part of a set originally and the top lever has a gold monogram that appears to be “HA” or something similar. The horn triggerguard is intact showing a few thin drying cracks forming, there is a small ridged horn inlay at the base of the pistolgrip and horn basketweave buttplate that shows some light insect damage. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good plus condition as lightly refinished showing some scattered light dings and checkering wear, the buttstock with a small spot of filler to a ding on the right side and the forward edges of the forend appearing to have warped slightly. The buttstock exhibits some attractive grain figure throughout and otherwise retains nice fit. Length-of-pull is about 13 1/2” with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 5/8” and the shotgun is sighted with small brass mid-bead and large ivory front bead. Features automatic safety, cocking indicator pins and retractable leather sling. Lock-up is solid on-face with dual under-lugs, side clips and hidden Greener crossbolt with top lever resting about center and the action seems to function well mechanically. There are a few small areas in the right barrel with thicknesses measuring about 0.018” and in the left 0.020”, so the gun has seen some honest use. Weight is 6 lbs. 10 1/4 oz. Still a nice looking German ejectorgun. (13C11108-142) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1000/1500)

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
• All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System.
