Has anyone acquired, or had a chance to spend time with this double, Shotgun or Rifle?

Handled a 28ga in the shop, this thing is Exquisite!
 
The ESSENCIA was pretty widely promoted a few years ago. I think it was positioned as a game gun for the hardcore K80 shooters. I looks like a quality weapon, but with so many choices in this configuration and Krieghoff's main reputation as an O/U target gun manufacturer it was not widely accepted.
 
Never heard of it.
No matter, last thing I need is another shotgun.
 
I believe this series is actually made by Jens Ziegenhahn, not Krieghoff directly. They are nice though.
 
He mentioned they're completely hand built? ,Apx. 10 a year sent to the US. .. This thing certainly ruled out any particulars. With exception to cost, they offered a considerable, almost affordable discount however?

Still, stunning imo.
