The Silver Reserve series is known for its straightforward field configuration, and this example reflects that with 28-inch blued barrels, a vent rib, and a single front brass bead. The action is a break-action over/under with a single trigger and a tang-mounted manual safety, providing simple, familiar controls.
The receiver wears a coin/satin-silver finish with factory engraving that combines scrollwork and gold-inlaid game-bird scenes. Engine-turned (jeweled) monoblock flats add a refined mechanical detail, and the gun shows matching serial numbers on the tang, forend iron, and monoblock.
The walnut-finished stock uses a pistol-grip profile with wraparound grip checkering for secure handling. A recoil pad and a 14.25-inch length of pull contribute to a comfortable fit. The overall blued and coin-silver color scheme presents a clean, traditional look.
Proof and import markings note "Made in Turkey by Kayhan Art S.S., Imported by Mossberg Int’l, Inc., North Haven, CT," confirming its first-generation Turkish manufacture for Mossberg International. Capacity is 2 rounds, consistent with its break-action over/under design.
