I don't know what a fully restored Greifelt is exactly.
I can't expand the pictures, but it looks nice. It says AD action, I can see Side clips, but no visible pins. Is the owner sure about that?

In general, having had a Greifelt 32" O/U 12, that was 100% deep relief engraved (stags,boars,hounds) I felt it was a fabulous Merkel clone, and the value of the engraving made them a super bargain. Mine was made in the 30's I think.
I thought it a little heavy, a little too tight for today's hunting (or at least my shooting anyway)but absolutely fantastic to look at. If you like chisel work. And I definately do. I sawed several pheasant nearly in half before I had to decide to bore it or sell it. Since I believe unaltered guns should remain so, I sold it.

When I read your earlier post that said "slightly off-face" I scratched my head. I cannot imagine what it would take to twist a gun so heavily bolted. I'm glad to see you were mis-reporting.

You got a good-un! I have a wonderful old Greifelt hammer gun in 12 gauge, has outstanding engraving all over, a tiny scroll, and has 30" Krupp steel barrels choked .060 and .060. Original 70mm chambers, it is indeed a Far Killer!! One of the favorite guns in my collection. Has very highly figured wood as well.
