27 - 1/2" barrels with brass bead front sight on solid rib with soldered on base for sling ring on bottom barrel. Side of bottom barrel with diagnostic proofs. Ejectors. Two piece forend with Deely release engraved with light line florals. Interior with case colors and marked "917" in iron, "F.A./RR" in wood. Scalloped rounded boxlock action engraved on both sides with "J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl" with flowing florals, bottom with Sauer double S mark. Reinforcing crossbolt. Trigger guard with short tang engraved with florals and geometrics. Pistol grip stock with two panels of point pattern checkering at wrist, blued pistol grip cap. Pancake cheekpiece, Sauer logo horn buttplate. CONDITION: Fine. Barrels retain the vast majority of their blue with a few minor marks and rubs from handling and operation. Wood is excellent with a few pressure marks and bruises from bruises from handling and use, a few areas of rubbing. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand (lever is quite stiff), bores are excellent, bright and shiny, with a little beginning oxidation in both bores. Ejectors are very slightly out of time, with bottom barrel firing first. A great field gun. EW
