So I took a flyer on a "no name German sxs 16 ga" last week. Terrible photos, replacement Monte Carlo stock. A seller who did not know very much about that gun or anything to do with vintage sxs. But the price......I couldn't resist. It was under $500.

Package waiting for me when I got home yesterday. MUCH better than I had hoped for.

A 1925 product of Ferlach, so not German. Austrian. 29" barrels with mirror bores, lots of barrel wall thickness, bluing in good shape. Lots of case colour left on the receiver. Cocking indicators, side clips, Greener cross bolt. Lovely very fine engraving with about 40% coverage. While I'm not a fan of the Monte Carlo, its beautiful wood and fits very well.

Can't wait to shoot it. This one ranks up near the top of my "better" buys.

Pics will have to wait. It is way too sunny today to get decent photos.

Super nice find!

If the lock work detail matches the quality of the engraving and screw slots, you got an epic deal.
