View attachment 80113 Exceptional Model 32 San Remo with matching 32" O/U barrels, choked M/IM, serial #4XXX. The receiver is pictured in a Krieghoff K80, Cat1, #3 Sporting stock, nuetral to RH/LH shooters. DAC is 1-5/8", DAH is 2-5/8" with a LOP of 14-3/8". Stock is in new condition - not one scratch, dent, or ding. The original, professionally maintained and serviced triggers snap at just under 4lbs. The gun operates flawlessly, and the receiver locks-up like a bank vault. Included is a 34" top single, choked Full. Professionally fit to the receiver but not serial number matching. Like the O/U, the barrel is tight, operates smoothly, and locks-up like new. Pictured with the Top Single is the original stock. DAC is 1-3/8", DAH is 1-7/8", LOP is 14-3/8" with a standard Kick-Eeze pad. This stock does NOT come with a pad. The stock is in good condition with no cracks or scaling in the finish. It shows as should be expected for its age. The bluing on the receiver, top latch, and both barrels is outstanding and shows the care and light use this gun has been afforded its entire life. The deep, San Remo engraving is in excellent condition on all surfaces, including the front barrel hanger. Comes with a single barrel hard case, no additional accessories. $8,800, shipping & insurance additional, at cost. Gun is located in Lancaster County, PA, and can be seen/shot prior to purchase.
Neither barrel is engraved. To my knowledge, barrel engraving starts at the Monte Carlo, or even perhaps Crown level. I have two Remo's and neither has barrel engraving. So, no, the top single has no engraving. As to the hanger - that's a darn good question. I can't tell you if it's specific to a certain "grade", if it's original...or was added by the previous owner because it's pretty. I've attached two close-ups, perhaps someone can advise. Thanks for looking!
the hanger is certainly nice. btw, factory san remo bbls are engraved along the top of the breech area, just a thin line of it on both sides. i know mine is. 5000 series. i cant see it in your pics though. .
no. its on the top of the ridge where the locking dogs are located. thanks for your quick responses. good luck with your sale. very nice gun.
I don't believe that San Remo's are signed. I have a good friend with a Monte Carlo and I can't find any initial's on it...
Thanks Rolexdr! MCTS is correct. Strangely, Krieghoff doesn't even keep such records - at least not on Remo's I own.
on the bbl engraving....since my gun is 500 miles away, look at your top latch. see the engraving on the sides? picture it continuing along the bbl when its locked up. thats where it would be. but keep in mind, not every engraver had the same style. some may and some may not have it.
Yes! I've seen that. It's a very nice touch. I have two of these, one #'s matching (the one for sale) and one not #'s matching - neither have that feature.
Receiver and O/U matching serial #4540, stamped in 1970. The top single is serial #2285, stamped 1969.
Negrini, single barrel case, included in the sale. Locks have never been set, pins are still in place.
Hmmm my shooting buddy here in Ohio has a 32 San Remo that’s signed by G Reich and from what I’m told by one of the largest k gunsmiths Not all are signed some are
I've heard they're out there, I've just never seen one. Good for him, I do believe that's a rare bird? Pics, by chance?
San Remo grade M-32's are wonderful shotguns just as they were produced. If you want to spend a bit of the kid's inheritance money, convert to K-80 trigger assembly, guard and fancy custom English walnut K-80 wood set. So done, I wouldn't trade that for any mid-grade K-890. O.P: Your San Remo is lovely and will provide someone with several lifetime's of use (that's how the kids get their inheritance money back you spent on the upgrade!).GLWS. P.S.: Not many San Remo grades ere signed by engraver; at least not any in my safe.
I have one of those too, Boss, all but the trigger guard. And you're right, this is one my son's (both fine shooters) can sort out when I'm gone...lol.
I can testify re: the engraving on the barrel hanger. I once purchased a Crown Grade four barrel set from Robert Paxton. (Barrels only). When purchased none of the barrels were serial numbered. When I bought them, at my request, Paxton added the serial number from my San Remo (59XX) to each of the barrels. The barrel hangers were all engraved in the same manner as the one pictured by OP. Sad to say I sold the barrel set to a friend (and he refuses to sell it back to me.).
This gun pictured is a San Remo 32 upgraded to k80 internals by Norbert himself sent back to Germany to have receiver register 4-5 years back Norbert and kreighoff confirm the engraver it is engraved by G Reich, gold upgrades by Kurt horvath in the 80s the engraver initials is Circled in red
