Item Details
High Estimate1800
Low Estimate1200
serial #529501, 30-06, 24" barrel with a very good plus to near excellent bore which shows strong rifling but with some extremely minor frosting. The metal surfaces retain about 85-90% professional hot immersion blue with light high edge wear and fading chiefly along the surfaces of the barrel and the bow of the guard, which also shows some light oxidation. The bolt handle has toned primarily to pewter and there is some light scratching near the rear guard screw. The right receiver race and magazine follower have been jeweled and the bolt body nicely cross-hatch damascened, as is common on early Griffin & Howe examples. The rear receiver bridge has been neatly re-contoured and filled and the barrel professionally shortened and crowned. The checkered pistolgrip classic style English walnut stock rates very good plus to near excellent with lovely oil finish and only minor dings and handling marks from light use. It is extremely Griffin & Howe-like with the large quick-detachable studs that they are known for. The stock features borderless checkered panels at the grip with a wrap-around forearm pattern, an ebony forend tip, hard rubber pistolgrip cap, left side rounded cheekpiece and a smooth very Neidner-like steel buttplate. There is an oval German silver monogram plate along the toeline engraved "S.M.". The rifle is sighted with a banded sporting ramp front with Hartley wedge-style front sight while the right of the rear receiver bridge wears a Lyman receiver sight base, its bridge is no longer present. The left side of the receiver has a Griffin & Howe telescopic sight base and ring set. The rings currently support a Hensoldt Wetzlar Ziel-Dialyt 4X telescopic sight with post and crosshair reticle and slightly cloudy optics. The trigger seems to have been honed and polished for a nice clean crisp pull and G&H-style quick detachable sling swivels are included. While completely unmarked, the rifle exhibits numerous characteristics of those made by Seymour Griffin and is certainly very high quality. Really a superb rifle with attention to detail and flawless execution; further diligent study may prove the identity of the craftsmen who built the rifle. (3,46734-3) {C&R}

All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System.

Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be held responsible for errors or omissions of any type that may occur during this service.
