Blued Krupp steel dovetail barrels signed "EMIL KERNER" on the right and "GEWEHRFABRIK SUHL" on the left with solid matte rib, blade sight, two leaf sight (one fixed, one folding), Carl Zeiss Diatal-D 4x32 scope, engraved band at the breech, 2 3/4 inch chamber, extractor, full choke, and German nitro proofs on the barrel and flats marked "8.7/72" and "13 gr." Casehardened box lock featuring fine engraved scrollwork, signed "HUBERTUS-GEWEHR D.R.G.M. 32 200", double triggers, and horn safety lever behind the engraved trigger guard. Walnut round knob pistol grip stock with multi-point checkering, cheekpiece, and thick horn buttplate.
Fine. The barrels retain 60% original blue finish with the balance thinning to gray. Some patterns of original case colors remain on the action, otherwise faded to a gray. The wood is fine with revarnished buttstock, minor handling marks, and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The scope has clear optics.
