Item Description: Translate description
16 bore, 29 1/2'' damascus twist barrels with moderately oxidized bores. The barrels of this handsome double retain most of their plum-brown finish drifting to gray and showing fine twist patterns their full-lengths with just a little old oxidation staining and a thin old ding about 6'' back from the muzzle on the right barrel. The undersides of the barrels show a period Belgian proof mark and the remaining hardware is mostly a medium gunmetal gray patina. The left lockplate is neatly engraved ''CALLIERE'' with the ''C'' being very fancy and exaggerated, the remaining letters rather blocky with a brick-like motif while the right is similarly executed with ''MANTES 1831''. The iron tailpipe features a finely executed urn finial and the wedge escutcheons are silver with light embellishments. The French walnut stock is quite lovely showing some honest darkening from the years with just some light dings and handling marks retaining excellent fit and edges throughout. The stock features a deeply grooved wrist with pronounced point at rear and graceful left-side cheekpiece swirling into a finely detailed carved floral motif. The sides of the butt exhibit some attractive figure with nice burl on the right. The original ramrod is present and the locks are crisp and seem to function well mechanically. Also included is what appears to be an original period thin leather sling, it is a bit tender in a few areas showing some scattered crackling but otherwise remains mostly supple and retains a fine Louis Maran maker stamp. (13B11804-30) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (700/900)
