71 cm long chopper lump-barrels with engine-turned track instead of a rib, brass bead, ejectors, choked 1/2 and 3/4, side by side action turned to the right for 90 degrees, single barrel lump and bolted elongated rib, therefore barrels opening by tilting to the left, only 57 mm tall action, blued boxlock with border- and pinhead engraving, right sided opening lever also cocking the locks, double triggers, non-automatic sliding tang safety, walnut stock with pistol-grip and oval cheekpiece 36,5 cm, 2-piece fore-end on the left hand side with Deeley latch, 2,9 kg, blueing slightly rubbed, otherwise condition II. Patented by Theophile Britte in 1931, only 250 arms of this design have been produced, all parts for them being made between 1932 and 1936, so a very rare collectable item, very well preserved!
