Very Fine Vintage 1917 Magazine Rifle In The Griffin and Niedner Pattern
Lot # 1341 (Sale Order: 342 of 652)
serial #189514, 30-06, 24” original military barrel with a bright excellent bore. Starting life off as a U.S. Model 1917 rifle by Winchester, there are no evident markings on the gun but it is clearly from the “between the wars” classic rifle period. Its architecture is precisely that of Niedner, Seymour Griffin and the Griffin & Howe guns with the bold comb with deep flutes, but not over-length; nicely curved pistolgrip with the blued steel gripcap; the checkered panels, ebony forend tip and indeed the left-side rounded shadowline cheekpiece. The barreled action retains perhaps 97% original blue, retaining ordnance bomb and Eaglehead stampings, the receiver rings neatly rounded and during a much later, likely 50s-era, they were drilled and tapped for scope bases. The arm comes from its 20s-era maker with a banded sporting front sight from Redfield, the rear face of which has been neatly mottled like jigged bone, a treatment we have seen on other sight ramp faces when handling the Petrov collection. The right side of the rear receiver ring is drilled for a Lyman receiver sight (not present). The bottom metal retains a similar amount of later blue and is still military-style and un-flattened, the bolt body polished bright now showing minor operational wear with remnants of some oxidation staining on the bright polished handle. The arm is stocked classic style in a very nice grade of English walnut with the aforementioned left side shadowline rounded cheekpiece, nicely checkered panels front and rear with mullered borders, the front a wrap-around; blued steel gripcap and a rosewood forend tip. What were likely original static swivels have been converted to Q.D. stud style, much later, perhaps in the 50s or 60s. The length of pull to the smooth blued steel widow’s peak buttplate is 13 3/4”. There is an additional set of drilled and tapped holes on the barrel for a no longer-present rear sight and a Timney adjustable trigger has been fitted in the modern era as well. A very beautiful vintage sporter with a lovely bore by an unknown craftsman, the initials “MC” are in antique ink pen on the flat beneath the pistolgrip cap. (3A10740-7) {C&R} (1200/1800)

Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model of 2000 Schofield Revolver
Lot # 1344 (Sale Order: 345 of 652)
serial #GWS1581, 45 S&W Schofield, 7” barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely 1875 New Model 3 Schofield remains in superb condition and appears to be unfired. This revolver retains about 99% original blue finish showing a few very light handling marks with bold case-hardened colors on the trigger, triggerguard, ejector cam, ejector lever, top latch assembly and hammer. The smooth walnut factory grips rate excellent showing nice figure in the wood and has a crisp faux inspector cartouche on the left panel. There is a faux “US” stamp on the toe of the butt and the pinned half-moon front sight sides are stamped “PERFORMANCE CENTER / 2000” on the left side and “MOD. 3 SCHOFIELD / 1875” on the other. The gun is virtually as new in the box. The gun is housed in a beautiful factory hardwood presentation case in excellent condition showing a few light handling marks with a blue velvet lined interior. The cover has the Performance Center logo in the center. It includes a Schofield 2000 coin and paperwork. This gun remains in wonderful condition. (8A10813-56) {MODERN} (1500/2000)
