Item Description: Translate description
serial #2120, about 16 bore, 24 3/4'' barrels, the top with a bright excellent bore and crisp rifling and the bottom with a bright near excellent bore showing a few small areas of light oxidation and crisp straight rifling. The barrels of this wonderful double rifle retain most of their antique plum-brown finish showing a few areas of old oxidation and minor pinprick pitting, the bottom barrel with a peculiar small oval patch where perhaps some sort of inlay or another sling swivel once was. The top barrel quarter rib shows ''N2'' inlaid in gold and maker's information neatly engraved ''ANT. VINC. LEBEDA w PRAZE'' and there is a fine little game dog atop the breech plug which is also equipped with fine sculpted bolsters and platinum blowout plugs. The lockplates are a deep smoky case-hardened patina and feature lovely flowing foliate scrollwork and handsome scenes throughout, the left with a stag, the right with a wolf and the rolled edge triggerguard with another game dog. All hardware is of wonderful top quality construction and fit, the lockplates are again maker-marked and the upper tang shows another ''2'' inlaid in gold along with a gold ''(Crown) / AL'' (the second initial letter may be something else but appears to be an ''L''). The checkered walnut stock remains in very fine condition with just some overall light dings and handling marks, the patch box cover with a thin crack at one of its screws. The stock shows some nice figure throughout the butt and features a short dainty forend with little schnabel tip and left-side cheekpiece. There are three inlaid trophy teeth on the right side buttstock and the patch box cover hinges up along the toe line but it appears to be stuck. The rifle is sighted with a pair of flip-up leaves for 100 and 150 paces and the front is a medium brass bead. The left hammer screw appears to be an old replacement and the gun features double triggers with front set and Lebeda's innovative automatic safeties. The locks are crisp and seem to function well mechanically. Anton Lebeda was an exceptional gunmaker in Prague and was awarded the honor of Court Supplier by His Majesty Franz Joseph I in 1850. (13F11896-79) {ANTIQUE} (4000/6000)
