Custom Browning Superposed Pigeon Grade Over/Under Shotgun with Two Barrel Sets, #1310 S, 12 ga., 2-3/4'' chs., blue finish barrels with matted 5/16'' ventilated ribs, front silver beads and ejectors. Barrel set #1 is 28'' with Mod./IC. Chokes; barrel set #2 is 30'' with Full/IM. chokes. The action has a standard early 1960's Pigeon Grade engraving style with full coverage scrolls highlighting pigeons in flight on the frame sides and rosettes with scrolls extending from the forend iron across the underside of the frame to the lower tang. The finish is bright chrome with additional polishing of the relief-engraved foliage and scrolls bordering the top of the frame; inertia trigger is gold plated, with a top-tang mounted combination safety and barrel selector. Checkered round-knob stock and field forends are flame-figured dark walnut with a high-gloss urethane finish and a 14-1/4'' length of pull to a black plastic Browning buttplate; weight is 7-1/2 lbs. with the 28'' barrels. Contained in a Browning traditional luggage case with original paperwork, no keys. Condition is excellent, appearing to have little, if any, actual use, with a tight action, bright bores and crisp trigger. Barrel flanges have the original Browning factory silver-gray finish; action face has ejector scuffs; tang screws are lightly marred. Stock and buttplate have a few handling marks with a small area of finish lifting under the 28'' barrels forend latch. Est.: $5,000-$7,000. (C&R)
