The scrollwork extends to the top tang and the triggerguard and surrounds a "KRIEGHOFF/MODEL 32" banner on the underside of the action. The name "R. G. COX" has been marked on the triggerguard possibly for the engraver or for a previous owner. The gun features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted manual safety switch.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue finish with a few areas showing minor thinning and minor handling evidence. There is a chip at the front of the pistol grip; otherwise, the wood is very fine with a few light marks and sharp checkering. The case is very good. Mechanically excellent.
