Simson Zedlitz B Scalloped Boxlock Over Under Shotgun
serial #3351/25672, 12 ga, 32'' solid rib barrels choked full in both with bright very good bores with scattered patches of pinprick to light pitting throughout. The barrels retain about 97% original blue with light silvering at the muzzles, scattered specks of oxidation and light handling marks, and the barrels are toning lightly brown under bright light. The case-hardened frame has toned largely to a pleasant gray patina, retaining about 40% muted case color on the belly and in the protected areas, with scattered fine freckling and a few specks of old oxidation on the right fence, and is wonderfully embellished with fine border engraving, foliate scroll, floral motifs on the pin and screw heads, and lovely game scenes on either side of the frame: a group of pheasant on the left and ducks on the right. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good condition with a short tight crack at the rear of the upper tang, scattered light dings and handling marks, and some flaking of the finish, and the checkered forend is in excellent condition with perhaps a handling mark or two, and is likely a more modern replacement. The stock features an unengraved oval monogram plate on the toeline and is fit with a Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad giving an about 14 3/8'' length of pull, and is cast lightly off. The barrel markings appear intact and clear, the matted rib is nicely stamped ''MADE FOR IVER JOHNSON SPORTING GOODS CO'', and the barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up tight with the lever coming to rest just left of center and features double triggers, a nonautomatic safety, robust ejectors, cocking indicators, and is sighted with dual ivory beads. The shotgun will require mechanical attention as the ejectors trip upon opening the action, but otherwise appears to function well mechanically. (14A11739-72) {C&R} (800/1200)
