28" Mono-bloc barrels are fitted with raised, ventilated ribs have gauge gold inlaid on breech end of each rib. Top sections of mono-blocks are scroll engraved. All barrel sets are choked skeet and skeet. 12 gauge barrels are ported. Blued Model 32 OU action has blocked out safety and gold-plated single selective trigger. Action is engraved with deeply cut shaded scroll within gold line borders surrounding scenes of birds and dogs, major subjects of which are relief gold inlaid; scene on left side depicts a hawk attacking a flushing duck while two of his compatriots also take wing. Right side has scene of pointer pointing trio of flushing pheasant. Bottom of action is mostly semi relief scroll surrounding gold inlaid imperial crown and "KRIEGHOFF" "MODEL 32" in gold line oval. Matching imperial crown is in gold on top lever. No engravers signature found. Custom buttstock by J. L. Dockweiller of honey colored European walnut is fitted with dark walnut hydro-coil anti recoil mechanism. Initials "FSK" are on gold lozenge in rosewood grip cap. Matching forend has Deeley type release. Gun and barrels are housed in vinyl double compartment case lined in brown cloth. Top compartment holds action and forend, bottom compartment holds all four barrel sets. CONDITION: Excellent. Metal parts retain nearly all of their blue. Stocks retain nearly all of their original finish. Checkering is still light in color. Hydro-coil stock appears to be deactivated with air released, however our consignor states that it works perfectly and is functioning properly when inflated. Bores are excellent. Mechanically fine. Case is generally fine. A total of 400 4-barrel skeet sets were made in this grade. CORRECTION: We have discovered that this gun is a very clever upgrade. It started life as a Standard Grade, 4 barrel skeet, set but has been upgraded to Crown Grade, in factory type pattern.
