*FINE PREWAR GEORG KNAAK OVER-UNDER GAME GUN WITH EXCEPTIONAL ENGRAVING AND GOLD INLAY.

SN 14001. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 29-1/2″ Bbls fitted with matted, ventilated rib, are engraved “Deutsche Waffenfabrik Georg Knaak, Berlin S.W. 48 Germany”. Top sections of bbls have 6″ triangles of well cut scroll at breech ends, and ejector mortises have fine game scenes with gold inlaid semi-relief subjects; a pair of pheasant are on right, and a fox chases a rabbit with mountains in background on left. There are also 2-1/4″ triangles of scroll on either side of both muzzles. Blued, boxlock, OU, scallop-backed action features gold-plated single trigger with selector combined with safety, double Kersten top fastener, pin type cocking indicators, and reinforcing bolsters. Action is engraved in near full coverage very well executed, open, shaded, flowing scroll and acanthus. This fine engraving surrounds gold inlaid game scenes on each side; a setter watching two ducks flush with mountains in background on left, and a pointer pointing a pair of escaping pigeons with same background, on right. An unusual winged logo is on top of action. Trigger guard is of nylon. Dark, finely marbled, and extremely well figured European walnut ebony capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/4″ over checkered horn buttplate. Stock features a shadow line right hand cheekpiece, and fairly closely spaced checkering with carved borders at grip. Matching long 3-pc ejector forend has gold plated Deeley release. Carving is more extensive than that on butt, relief carved with acanthus flourishes. Bore diameter: top -.727, bottom -.729. Bore restrictions: top -.034 (full), bottom -.026 (mod). Wall thickness: top -.024, bottom -.026. Drop at heel: 2-3/8″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 8 lbs 2 oz. LOP: 14-1/4″. Gun comes with blue canvas leather trimmed case marked “Perazzi”, lined in blue patterned cloth. PROVENANCE: The Collection of Robert Burg. CONDITION: Excellent, as refurbished. Bbls and action retain over 90% of a satin re-blue, silvered on sharp edges, considerably silvered on bottom of forend iron. Newly made stocks retain essentially all of their fine hand rubbed oil finish. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are strong and in time. Trigger works. Case is excellent. 49100-11 MGM427 (12,500-22,500) – Lot 2131
