Master Angelo Bee Signed, Engraved, and Gold Inlaid Krieghoff K-32 Over/Under Shotgun Two Barrel Set with Inserts and Case Sold to Benefit the USA Shooting Team

In the heart of every American beats the spirit of unity, resilience, and an unwavering support for those who represent us on the world stage. As the journey to Paris unfolds, our athletes from USA Shooting are preparing to showcase their skill, dedication, and patriotism in a quest for Olympic glory. However, the path to Paris is paved with unique challenges that require our collective support more than ever before. The upcoming Olympic Games present an unprecedented situation for our shooters. The venue, located 3 hours outside the bustling city of Paris, is presenting significant hurdles with the logistics. Unlike previous Olympics, where athletes found a home away from home in the Olympic Village, our shooters will face the added challenge of being stationed far from this sanctuary. This deviation from the norm places a considerable responsibility on USA Shooting to ensure our athletes have everything they need to succeed—from housing to security and beyond—elements traditionally provided within the village's confines. This is where you, the steadfast supporter of Team USA, can make a tangible difference. By purchasing a one-of-a-kind shotgun, you're not just acquiring a piece of sportsmanship excellence; you're directly contributing to our athletes' Path to Paris. Your purchase goes towards alleviating the heavy costs associated with providing our team the resources they need to excel. Your support helps ensure that despite the distance from the Olympic Village, our athletes feel at home, secure, and focused solely on bringing home the gold. Imagine the pride that will swell in our hearts as we watch our athletes stand on the podium, medals shining bright, the Star-Spangled Banner playing for the world to hear. Your contribution can help turn this vision into reality. It's an opportunity to be part of a patriotic endeavor to ensure that America's finest shooters have the best chance possible to outshine the competition and achieve Olympic glory. Let's rally behind USA Shooting and show the world the strength of our unity and the depth of our national pride. Together, we can help our athletes overcome these logistical challenges and focus on what they do best—representing the United States of America with honor and aiming for excellence. Support our team on their Path to Paris, and let’s bring home the victory as one nation, united in our quest for Olympic success. Built with blued steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted vent rib which is marked with a gold inlaid "12" at the base, standard factory markings, highly attractive gold bordered scroll engraving on the front barrel hanger, 2 1/4 inch wedges of scroll at either side of the breech with a gold inlaid mallard, import mark under forend, 1986 dated German proofs, interchangeable chokes (cylinder/cylinder installed), and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are mated to a gorgeously embellished action which displays extensive floral scroll engraving over a matted background surrounded by gold inlaid line borders. Inside the scrollwork there are four exceptional game scenes set over coin finished backgrounds depicting a covey of pheasant hens in flight over an upland scene on the left, four mallards coming in to land on a pond on the underside, a pointer flushing a covey of quail on the right, and a trio of quail bedded down on the top latch all cut in highly detailed relief gold inlays. The scroll extends to the triggerguard which has a gold quail and the toplever which is pierced in the form of a grouse. The gun is signed by Master Engraver Angelo Bee on the left side of the action below the scenes with "ABEE" and his trademark bumblebee. The gun features a single selective gold trigger and a tang mounted safety (inoperable). The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured fancy fleur-de-lis checkered forend with engraved and gold inlaid shoe and a pistol grip stock with rosewood grip cap, blank inscription oval, and a Decelerator recoil pad. Included is an extra set of 28 inch 12 gauge barrels with matching gold inlay and engraving being used as carriers of a set of full length 20 gauge insert. Also included are sets of full length 28 gauge and 410 bore inserts, a total of eight extra choke tubes, and an aluminum takedown case that houses the whole set. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed at 18.6mm (.732 inches) and measured .735 inches; minimum wall thickness .047/.047 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/16 inch drop at heel; 14 7/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 10 oz.

ConditionVery fine as masterfully embellished by Angelo Bee, retaining 98% blue, coin, and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a patch of grey at the rear of the triggerguard, and sharp checkering on the forend and stock. The extra barrel set is also very fine. The case and accessories are very fine. Mechanically excellent. This is not only a great chance to own an outstanding piece from a highly sought after master engraver but a chance to show your patriotic pride by supporting the USA Shooting Team as they continue to uphold the historic tradition of shooting in our great country!
