Factory Engraved and Gold Inlaid W. J. Wurz Pinfire Double Cape Gun with Extra Barrel Set

Damascus steel barrels with single bead sight on the smooth solid rib which is marked "W. J. Wurz in Frankfurt a.m." in gold and a pair of gold bands at the breeches and muzzles. The casehardened hammer back action displays four game scenes on the left, right, underside, and trigger guard all surrounded by floral scroll. Beautifully figured forend with "A.K" inscription shield and stock with large cheekpiece and steel buttplate. Includes a second barrel set of 25 1/4 inch cape gun barrels with a 16 gauge shotgun and an unknown .52 caliber centerfire round.

ConditionVery good with a smooth brown patina on the barrels, grey patina on the action and locks, nearly all gold remaining, moderate handling evidence, and worn but well-defined checkering on the wood. Mechanically excellent.
