Krieghoff Essencia Side by Side 20 gauge 30"' Barrels choked ¼ & ½ Colour Case hardened receiver with fine English scroll engraving and gold accents. Round-body, back action sidelock with a Purdey-style third fastener. Holland & Holland style Ejectors. Gold plated single trigger. English stock with Prince of Wales grip and checkered butt. Turkish Walnut category 3.
Traditional Oil Finish. Exclusive Leather Case with additional protective zip-up cover. Pristine condition, fired less than 100 rounds. The replacement price for this gun would be in excess of 55K. With pure elegance of first-class Krieghoff craftsmanship this masterpiece falls into the same category as the highly coveted "best" English or Italian guns. This beautifully balanced gun comes up effortlessly and is a pleasure to shoot. It has however, been rarely fired and as a result is unmarked and in pristine condition. I am not aware of any other examples in New Zealand and would be an exquisite addition to any collector or enthusiast.
