Item Details
This RARE 15 shot Colt-Burgess Lever Action Rifle is serial numbered 1713 and was produced in 1883 - the first year of production. It is chambered for the 44/40 black powder cartridge and is complete with a Colt factory letter. The rifle is in very good condition with 50% original finish mixed with 50% patina. The action is tight and the bore is good. The wood is very good, all markings are clear (including the Rampant Colt), and is an attractive rifle. The Colt Factory Letter shows it sold in 1873 in New York City. According to popular lore, Winchester felt threatened by the marketing of the Colt Burgess. Winchester officials traveled to Colt headquarters with several advanced handgun designs and "asked for advice" on how to market them. Colt got the message, and offered to drop the Burgess if Winchester dropped their handgun proposals. True or not, it's and interesting story and the fact remains that the Burgess is a very rare rifle with just over 3800 produced. Values range from $4500 from Flayderman to $5500 from the Blue Book...though several have gone over $10,000 at auction! Our last one sold for $5000 and wasn't as nice!
