serial #6707, 38-50, 28 1/4” octagon barrel with a partially bright about very good bore showing some light pitting and oxidation in the grooves, a few thin scratches in the chamber, and otherwise strong rifling. The barrel has mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing a little old oxidation and some light pitting. The barrel was perhaps shortened very slightly, but certainly very long ago, the front sight dovetail being a little further back than one would expect. The action retains generous silvery case-hardened patina throughout mixing with some areas of plum-brown with a few wisps of colors near the lever and the breechblock and hammer mostly toned to plum-brown showing a few flakes of bright blue. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend with steel schnabel remain in about very good condition showing honest wear from the years with a few hairline cracks at the upper tang, some mild abrasions and old dings. Strangely, the barrel and forend are both numbered “6706”, just one off from the action, buttstock and buttplate “6707”, and the caliber designation appears to have been restamped during the period of use over an older marking, appearing to have been done by the factory. The rifle is sighted with a proper mid or short-range tang sight, sporting rear and a Beach combination front. An interesting example of the classic Hepburn rifle. (13B11230-7) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)
