High quality leather case with stitched leather corners is lined in burgundy cloth with Bosis label in lid, and contains 2-pc cleaning rod with mop, brush, and jag, and a pair of Bosis marked snap caps. Case is accompanied by green canvas and tan leather outer cover. CONDITION: Essentially as new, appears unfired since proof, with only the faintest of handling and assembly marks in all surfaces. Mechanically crisp. Case is excellent, as protected by its outer cover. Interior is excellent. A new "Country" best boxlock is priced at 28,000 euros before engraving, which is separately contracted, and will often double the cost of a shotgun. 53159-1 mgm113 (20,000-25,000)
