Lot # 1526 (Sale Order: 527 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
serial #256072, 38-55, 26” octagon barrel with a very good bore that has some areas of light pitting and oxidation but has strong rifling throughout.

Greifelt & Co Scalloped Boxlock Drilling

Lot # 1527 (Sale Order: 528 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
serial #33285, 16 ga (2 1/2”) by 7x57R, 26 1/2” Krupp Laufstahl barrels choked a tight modified and full with mostly bright bores showing light pitting scattered throughout, the rifle barrel showing very light oxidation in the grooves but strong rifling throughout. The barrels of this February 1929 proof dated drilling retain 99% excellent quality restored rust blue with a few light handling marks and spots of previous light pitting beneath the finish near the breeches and just barely visible near the muzzle. The frame has a silvery patina with the upper tang and spots around the fences flaking lightly to gunmetal gray, some scattered light pitting, and a touch of flame added color on the right edge of the frame. The frame is nicely relief engraved with areas of scroll with punch-dot shaded background on the bottom and fences, the sides relief engraved with a partridge on the left and a ram on the right, the hinge pin and screw heads showing light floral engraving, and the belly of the frame is marked “GREIFELT & Co / SUHL”; the breech area of both barrels show wedges of attractive scroll engraving with light punch-dot shading, and the matted rib is marked “GEORG WEIDINGER, FREISING”. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good condition with an about 2” light crack in the nose of the forend, a short hairline crack barely visible at the end of the upper tang, a light gap at the tip of the triggerguard tang, some light handling marks, and the basketweave hardrubber buttplate shows spots of light chipping, including at the toe. The stock features European sling swivels, a steel gripcap showing light oxidation staining, a left side cheekpiece, and an about 14 1/4” length of pull with drops of about 1 3/4” and 2 3/4”. The drilling locks up by dual underlugs with Greener crossbolt and sideclips, the lever coming to rest right of center with the crossbolt stiff and not fully seating within the frame, and is tight and on-face. Drilling is sighted with a silver bead front and flip-up fine u-notch rifle rear sight, and features German claw mount bases and extractors, the set trigger appearing to require mechanical attention but the drilling otherwise functioning well mechanically. Included is a Hensoldt Wetzlar Diatal 4x32mm scope with clear glass and a German No. 1 reticle. (14A10755-7) {C&R} (800/1200)

This is a lovely example of H&R’s very first double action revolver retaining nearly 99% original nickel finish showing a few tiny flakes along some of the cylinder edges, some very mild operational wear and light handling marks to be expected.

The ramped sight features four individual spring-loaded flip-up choices including a medium aperture, bead on post and two different sizes of square post. The barrel retains about 85% of an older reapplied blue finish showing some overall mild thinning to gray and plum-brown along with a few light handling marks. The rear simple sporting rear sight is missing its small elevation screw and shows 1901 patent date reminiscent of those found on Winchester rifles. The action is a mottled gray-brown patina retaining streaks of older reapplied blue and showing some scattered light handling marks. The Essex markings along the left side frame have softened somewhat and remain mostly intact. The forend hardware is partially bright and appears to show some old nickel finish and the smooth walnut forend remains in very fine condition. The checkered grip shows a bit more wear with smoothed checkering, two small holes along the backstrap and a moderate filler-repaired chip along the top edge. The barrel is matching the frame and locks up well, the action features an ejector and seems to function well mechanically. An interesting example utilizing the front sight from another manufacturer.
