Very nice.

The wood selection is pretty remarkable - I don't think I've ever seen wood like that chosen for a rifle of Wundhammer's era - that must have been the best stock blank in the country at the time.

Is it that perfect or has it been gone over? Engraved at the factory?

I guess it was made for Stewart "Howard" White (Edward??) The story is very disorganized. And by Howe do they mean G&H Howe?

I was very relieved to see the selling price after the bad cataloging of the rifle.

It's a factory stocked & engraved Savage made for Stewart Edward White that was in the Wundhammer shop at the time of Wundhammer's death.

IMO one of the better deals yesterday.

If you were the high bidder on this what would be the first thing you would do with it?

I would have the area around the rear of the trigger guard invisibly repaired. I had high hopes that I could buy that beauty. It is a close match for the "Brochure Gun". Unfortunately, I couldn't find a clear enlargement of the Brochure Gun to see if the auction gun is the same gun. I have seen similar engraving patterns on other Kornbrath Model 12s, but can't locate the pictures. I may have bid on that gun but had all of my money committed to an item to come. I don't believe I will ever have another opportunity to add something like that to my Winchester pump gun collection.

Get rid of that white line pad!

An awful lot of wood & checkering wear but nearly 100% blueing. Not even the safety scratched from sliding back and forth. No blueing wear to the bottom of the action behind the trigger guard, but immediately behind that, the checkering is worn nearly flat.

That RJK signiture looks a little suspect at least in the picture.
The bluing from the cuts of the engraved signiture have worn,,but none of the bluing has worn from any other engraving cuts in the scroll pattern.
Pretty sloppy lettering for Kornbrath,,but who knows..

That wood damage around the bottom tang. That and the wear makes the wood look like it's from another shotgun to me.

Just looking at the pics (and I do realize it's tough to judge by them alone), there's a few questions about the gun and too much assumed IMHO.
...which isn't worth more than the going rate of .02!

Yes I would get rid of pad right after I removed that signature.

Is the engraving a fake, or just the signature? I am not an authority on such things.
