Nice would be an understatement. Its a little different look than I am usd to and I guess that was to hold down the weight. I like it. And the rings are not soldered to some oddball scope. Just in case you needed to replace the scope its an option.
Thank you for posting, I am going to go back and study the images again. Very nice!

A Spectacular rifle for sure THIS! I can envision you in a hochsitz, wool hat on with a grouse feather tucked in the hatband, in the failing light of day, listening to the sounds of the feeding wildsow as they move towards you. I am quite envious of you and that piece of art! Ed

Thank you for posting, I am going to go back and study the images again. Very nice! I'm having my friendly FFL-machine shop owner make me a second set of claws for this and am mounting a 3X Leupold for my hunting with it. The old Voightlander still works fine, but it's high, and I don't want to damage it somehow, just keep it for fun shoots. The little gun is extremely agile, and the light Leupold will keep it that way. Besides, it gives more excuses to shoot the gun, working up regulating loads with the scope installed. This was a big stretch for me to purchase, and Steve gave me a fantastic price on it. It cost me two of my best drillings, but these don't fall out of trees at a guy's feet every day. And, it was my 70th BD present to myself. I WON'T be taking any money with me, just toys to pass along to a certain young hunter.

Well, you may never get to go on an European driven hog hunt, but that rifle would be nice to take a few American hogs.

Wonderful rifle, perhaps the best type of double rifle for American use. Need to start saving my pennies.....

I'm looking forward to seeing this gun kill a whitetail in December. Bring extra ammo I want to shoot it bad!

That's a stunning piece of art. Over 100 years old, and every screw is still mint. Just wow!
