$2,300.00
16 Ga / 8x57 | Fixed Choke: Full & Full | 25.5" Barrels

The German drilling is a hallmark of versatile European hunting traditions, designed as a multi-purpose combination firearm to handle both feathered and furred game with equal precision. This 1920 example represents the peak of early 20th-century boxlock engineering, offering a sophisticated and capable solution for the discerning field sportsman.

This particular unit remains in **good overall condition** for its age, featuring a wood pistol grip stock with a raised cheek piece, a traditional horn trigger guard, and a historical screw repair near the action. The receiver is adorned with **beautiful engraving**, and the 25 ½-inch barrels—which retain approximately 95% of their original bluing—feature a solid tapered rib marked "E. Scheinert - Osnabruck."

The firearm **locks up tight** and presents bright, clean bores across its 16-gauge and 8x57 configuration. This C&R eligible piece is equipped with double triggers and a manual safety with an integrated barrel selector, providing a mechanically sound and classic experience for use in the field.
