J. J. Reeb Hofbuchsenmacher Bonn Rhein ~ This is considered a German Master Work ~ Check out the engraving ~ 2 3/4" proofed! Super Nee price! (click for more info)12 gauge - Hammerless Sidelocks, Boxlocks Stunning engraving and craftsmanship on this prewar II work of gun art. Take a close look at the engraving in our pictures and then blow them up. The engraving just gets better and better! I knew George Reeb who had a fascinating business of restoring jet aircraft and putting them back into service like new. He collected the Reeb guns of his ancestors and had accumulated a magnificent collection as Reeb guns were known for being of the highest quality with ornamentation. I wonder what became of his collection? It is obviously possible this is a gun he owned at one time and was a part of his collection. He left us many years ago, a close friend to Bob Jones, my mentor., also long past. *Don't be put off by the 3" of drop at heel as this gun has the classic hogs back stock (thus higher at the cheek) so when shooting it is very comfortable, even with so much drop.
This fine shotgun features a single select Miller trigger and note it is proofed for 2 3/4" shells. |
