(C) INCREDIBLE, HISTORIC, PRESENTATION DRILLING GIVEN TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT BY THE UNITED SPANISH WA

Lot # 1275 (Sale Order: 173 of 302)      

Very few presidents are as well regarded as Theodore Roosevelt, with historical Presidential rankings typically placing him around 4th, with praise for his foreign and domestic policy as well as his force of personality. He commanded the respect of many of his contemporaries, and innumerable papers have been written as to how Roosevelt shifted political power away from Congress and towards the Executive Office as a result of his charisma. In addition to his political acumen, Roosevelt was also a fervent conservationist, creating the United States Forest Service, establishing National Parks and Forests, and providing over 11,000 specimens to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum (now the National Museum of Natural History) during his legendary African expedition. This drilling, one of three presented to Roosevelt by fellow veterans of the Spanish American War, is a perfect example of how Roosevelt commanded respect from his contemporaries, and appeals to his conservationist nature by being one of Roosevelt's preferred styles of hunting arm. Roosevelt was presented this exceptional firearm by the United Spanish War Veterans of Pueblo, Colorado, Camp 3 (USVW), in 1913, decorated with an elaborate presentation plaque and carvings of Roosevelt's initials, further personalizing the piece. Another gun with a similarly styled case and elaborate presentation plaque is known, with another thank you letter from Roosevelt, saying "What can I say? For the third time, you have honored me with a beautiful gift of a drilling, knowing my fondness for this type of weapon, the three your Camp presented me are among my favorites", indicating that Camp 3 presented a total of 3 drillings to Roosevelt over a number of years. A USVW letter dated July 9th, 1913, discusses the proposed presentation of the second drilling to Roosevelt on July 4, 1913 but the delay caused by the work on the gun case still being completed by "the people at Frazier"; Frazier being a reference to the famous saddlemaker and leather worker. Another soldier simply referenced as "Bernard" had completed the carving of the Eagle on right side of the stock and the "TR" initials on the cheekpiece, and has shown it at the Camp function, to the satisfaction of other members. The letter notes that the presentation is now to be made in either August or September, but the last step that they had to take was each member was to drive in a pre-set tack into the stock, with contributors driving in pins. Of particular note is the hope in the letter that the presentation of the drilling will encourage Roosevelt to continue hunting in Colorado. This timeline appears to be accurate, as a letter signed by Roosevelt is dated September 7th, 1913, thanking "the fine men and officers of Camp 3 for the gift of a beautiful Stahl drilling...I am in deep appreciation for the many hours of work that must have been invested in the custom presentation case and the artistic carving of the eagle and my initials on the stock...Hopefully, I will return to your beautiful Colorado next fall and use this piece for hunting both beast and fowl." The drilling has 26 - 3/4" barrels marked "C. BARTELS & BUTTNER, HOFBUSCHENMACHER" on right, "WEISBADEN, FRANKFURT A/M & ZELLA ST. BL" on left. Zella St. Blassi is the companion town to Mehlis, the two villages which would merge to form Zella-Mehlis, a famed center for German gunmaking which produced accomplished manufacturers like Walther and Anschutz. Steel stamping for "IA. KRUPP'SCHER STAHL" on both barrels. Lower sides of barrels with "(Crown) / N" nitro proof, and "2,5 gr Sch. P. / 28,3 gr BI" indicating a proof load of 2.5 grams (38.5 grains) of smokeless powder with 1 oz. of shot. Crown S, U, and W proofs for smoothbore choked barrels. Rifle barrel with "(Crown) / G", "(Crown) / U", 2 eagles, "AM 525" and "118,35" 13,04", and "1061" rifled barrel proofs for a 9.3 cartridge (9.3x72 fits appropriately). Forearm lug with "36". Round bodied action with visible "626" on right side of interior, and "(Crown) / U" and eagle proof on left side of action flat. Features include a sling swivel screwed onto a sweated on base, bead front sight on a flat machine matted rib with a dovetailed pop-up rifle sight and a grooved scope mount. Doll's head rib extension. Checkered splinter forend with horn insert at tip, Deely release. Click here to see the full description.
