Item Details
Low Estimate3000
High Estimate5000
serial #1367797, 30-06, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to some light high edge wear and even fading, slightly more prevalent on the bottom metal which shows a few more light handling marks. The bolt body remains bright with the armory polish still vivid, the knob and handle are similar, the knob with a couple very very light oxidation spots. The shroud still shows some very good oil quenched color case-hardening and the safety is a nice two-tone blue and case-hardened gray. The top of the barrel is marked "Griffin & Howe, Inc. New York". The rifle is remodeled classic style and features nice wrap-over patterns at the grip with mullered front borders while the forearm pattern is a wrap-around with mullered front and rears. There is a very nice horn forend tip, blued steel gripcap and a checkered steel buttplate giving a 13 3/8" length of pull. The rifle has a detachable swivel stud along the toeline with a nice barrel band stud soldered ahead of the forend and it is equipped with simple magnum crossbolts, one showing remnants of some light case-hardening; the remnant of the front swivel base hole has been neatly filled by G&H just ahead of their swivel stud. The rifle is sighted with a banded sporting ramp front which supports a simple bead sight and a heavily knurled hood is in place while the rear ring shows a nice Lyman aperture sight. The rifle comes with a Springfield Research Service letter showing that this arm shipped as a 1903 Sporting Model to a Mrs. Margaret Dyer in Kodiak Alaska in September 1931. Doubtless Mrs. Dyer forwarded the arm to Griffin & Howe for the nice sporterizing and customization. Really a very handsome Griffin & Howe sporter in a lovely state of condition that doubtless shoots wonderfully. (36649-1) {C&R}

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System.

Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale.
