The barrel of this June 1928 proof-dated...more rifle retains about 98% of a nice quality restored rust blue drifting to a deep plum tone under bright light, the bottom metal is similar showing a little oxidation speckling and staining while the action, bolt handle and bolt sleeve show restored polished blue. The bolt body and extractor show fine engine turning and a little mild gray speckling and the rifle is fitted with a set of period claw bases and mounts that hold a Zeiss Zielvier riflescope serial #63918 with duplex reticle and very good optics. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock is in classic German form featuring schnabel tip, Oberndorf side panels and left-side cheekpiece. The stock remains in very good plus condition as refinished showing a few small repaired chips along the edges, a couple minor cracks at the heel and some other scattered handling marks. The edges of the cheekpiece are well-defined, the checkering has been neatly refreshed and length-of-pull to the smooth steel buttplate is 13 1/2''. The rifle is fitted with European sling swivels and a fixed v-notch standing rear sight and German silver bead front sight on ramp. The action with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically. A nice Nurnberg rifle in 7mm. (13A11108-7) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)

Cased Harrington & Richardson USRA Single Shot Target Pistol

Lot # 17 (Sale Order: 17 of 636)      

serial #1317, 22 LR, 10'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 92% original bright blue with the frontstrap and bow of the guard flaking to gray and some overall light handling marks and mild flaking from the years of light honest use. The grooved trigger and sides of the hammer remain polished bright, the back surface of the hammer with smoky case-hardening, and all markings remain intact and strong. The right side of the breech area is very neatly engraved with the name of a previous owner ''GENE HENSLEE''. The No. 5 walnut target grip remains in very fine condition with mostly worn finish and some scattered light handling marks, some contours of the grip having been shortened somewhat during the period of use. This earlier production variant is equipped with low-profile flattop square notch rear sight and non-adjustable pinned thick plain blade front. The included original H&R shooter's case remains in very fine condition, the black leatherette exterior showing some minor scuffs and handling marks and the green felt interior showing some staining and discoloration. Case is equipped with dual nickeled catches, gold-embossed factory label on the interior and leather carry handle. Three empty Remington ammunition boxes are included as well. Mr. Henslee must have been quite the pistol enthusiast as a few other guns engraved with his name have been sold at auction. There was a country singer from Oklahoma around the time period of this gun named Gene Henslee who may be a likely candidate. In any event this is a fine cased example of these quality target pistols. (13B11678-25) {C&R} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (1500/2000)
