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.
