Atlas Collectible Firearms is immensely privileged to present this phenomenal, 1968 production Belgian Browning Superposed Diana Grade over/under shotgun chambered in desirable 20 gauge for 2-3/4" shells. Serialized 49668V8, this small-frame masterpiece features 28-inch ventilated rib barrels choke-stamped for Skeet and Skeet, representing the absolute pinnacle of FN Herstal custom shop craftmanship. Adding extraordinary rarity for the advanced collector, this target firearm showcases double-signed master factory engraving by renowned FN artist Rene Coenen, whose signature "R Coenen" is proudly cut into both sides of the coin-finished action.
The coin-finished receiver displays classic Diana Grade game scenes, featuring pheasants in relief on the left, ducks in a marshland setting on the right, quail in flight across the bottom, and a pair of rabbits on the trigger guard bow surrounded by deep shaded scrollwork. Built with a short tang square knob buttstock, it is crafted from flame-figured American walnut measuring 14-3/8" length of pull over a factory white-line recoil pad, paired with a gold oval inscribed "DCP" on the toeline and a matching captive flared target skeet forend.
Housed in its original tan Hartmann fitted display case lined in plush faux fur, this complete outfit includes its owner's booklet, lifetime guarantee card, case key, cleaning guide, and protective wood sealing documentation from Art's Gun Shop. Preserved in exceptionally fine, unfired condition with only minimal assembly marks, this double-signed master-engraved Superposed delivers supreme investment value for the most discerning shotgun collector.
