The Silver Reserve is configured as an extractor-equipped over/under with a break-action design and a capacity of two rounds. It uses a single selective trigger paired with a tang-mounted safety that also serves as the barrel selector. A serrated sighting rib with a brass bead front provides a clean reference for mounting and target alignment.
The barrels wear a blued finish, while the receiver is satin silver with factory scroll engraving and gold-inlaid flying game birds. The receiver is marked "MOSSBERG INTERNATIONAL / SILVER RESERVE," and the barrel is marked "12 GA 2 3/4 and 3." Proof and import markings indicate manufacture in Turkey by Kahn.
The hardwood stock is built with a pistol grip and cut checkering, matched to a checkered hardwood beavertail forend. A black recoil pad and a 14.0 inch length of pull round out the fit. Notable stock dimensions include a slight right-hand palm swell, neutral cast, and slight toe-out.
Functional notes include a top lever that sits slightly right of center, good barrel fit, a positive extractor, and good firing pins. Both barrels are Improved Cylinder, offering a consistent IC/IC pairing.
