This factory matched pair was manufactured in 1998. Both guns are built with blued steel barrels with a single nickel bead sight on the matted vent rib which is marked with a gold inlaid "I" or "II" at the base, chambers marked 2 3/4 inches with automatic ejectors, and chokes marked "**-"/"*-" (improved cylinder/improved modified). The coin finished sideplated actions display scroll engraving and game scenes bordered by floral and dot borders. The left sideplates have a covey of pheasant in an upland scene, the undersides show a running rabbit, and the right have a covey of quail bedding in the tall grass. The engraving is signed on the left sides below the scene "J.P.BAILLY" for factory Master Engraver Jean-Pierre Bailly.
The guns feature a single triggers and a tang mounted safety/selector switches with gold inlaid "O", "U", and "S" markings. Each gun has an exceptionally well-figured Schnabel tip forend with engraved fittings and round knob pistol grip forend with blank inscription oval and skip-line checkered bare butt. Included is an oak & leather takedown case that houses both guns.

Condition of both guns is crisp and near new. They do not look to be fired outside of the factory and handled very little!
I would like to keep the pair together but would sell them individually for $15,500 each.
Vintage firearms are a passion of mine. I am more than happy to provide any insight or info that I can regarding vintage Brownings or any other collectible firearms. Do not hesitate to call/text me at 402-314-2729 even if it is not about the gun I have for sale! Love talking with people who have an appreciation for them, sharing my knowledge, and learning more when I can. Lots of dishonest sellers out there, be careful when collecting or investing.
I provide a 5 day inspection period to ensure you are happy with everything and that I was accurate in my description and photographs. I hope to find good homes where these collectible pieces will be appreciated and enjoyed.
Shipping is a flat $200 to lower 48 (PRIORITY MAIL, INSURED FOR THE VALUE OF THE GUN). It will be well packaged and cared for.
