Blued finish, deeply chiseled engraved receiver with full coverage and yellow and white gold inlaid game scenes of a dog and birds on the wing on the reverse and birds on the wing with a bird of prey in full attack on the obverse.

An exceptional set for the most discriminating shooter or advanced Krieghoff collection in outstanding condition with the highest level of fit, finish and embellishment from one of the finest shotgun makers in the world. Current Krieghoff pricing would place this set at approximately $70,000 were the same level of custom quality and features to be ordered from them today. A Krieghoff factory letter confirming the configuration and information about this gun is included as well. Condition: About excellent overall, showing little use if any. Essentially retains all of the finish with some potentially minute thinning from handling. Crisp engraving and checkering, fine bright gold inlays and decorations. Mechanically excellent, fine bright bores. Stock with only the most minute light handling marks. Overall a wonderful and exceptional sporting set in a fine case that shows almost no wear.
