Description:

Blued Guss Stahl barrels with a small blade front and fixed rear sight on the smooth solid rib which is marked "J. Eberwein, Regensburg", gold band and flourish inlaid at the breech, and a single extractor for the chambers. The casehardened hammer back action displays bird and dog scenes on the left and a boar and stag on the right all surrounded by leafy scroll. The gun features non-rebounding hammers and double triggers (front is a single set). Beautifully figured checkered and floral carved forend and straight grip stock with large horn pistol grip and steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine, showing an attractive smooth brown patina on the barrels, attractive grey coloration to the action and locks, and mild handling evidence. The forend is missing a few chips; otherwise, the wood is fine with some dings and scratches and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
