Zubehor” “CE” stenciled on top. Case closes with two toggle latches. Case has felt gaskets, and is marked in lid with contents. Those present with this Drilling are a leather sling, instruction booklet dated June 1941, and very rare cleaning kit in orig black cardboard box, which contains cleaning rod, brushes and mops, and lubricating oil, most in their orig tissue wrap. Box is held together by double wrap of twine. PROVENANCE: Certificate from Don L. White, Capt. of Ordnance dated 2 May 1945, concerning “one German shotgun”, for specialist Jack F. Nau, certifying that Capt White has examined this article and it does not include any explosives or concealable firearms, and therefore can be mailed home. CONDITION: Excellent, possibly unfired since proof. One or two spots of uncleaned oxidation are on bbls. One spot cleaned near forend tip. Action retains nearly all of its case color, except for finish loss on left side upper front where some oxidation has been cleaned (This area corresponds to where action is in contact with felt in case). Stocks retain nearly all their orig finish with a few light scratches and marks, one a bit heavier on left side near bottom of action. Bores are excellent, bright, and shiny. Action is tight. Set trigger works. Luftwaffe stamps on stock and bbl are sharp and clear. Case retains 85 – 90% of its orig paint, with numerous scrapes around top edges. Handle is missing. Interior is very fine. All felt and dividers are intact. There is some scaly oxidation on lid. Instruction book is very fine, with some interior pages having oil soaked in, and foxing. Cleaning kit box has some crushes and separation of lid, on both ends. Interior accessories are excellent. A very fine example of this unusual military weapon. 4-48296 MGM95 (15,000-25,000)
