High Estimate9000
Low Estimate7000
serial #2478, .74 caliber Brunswick-rifled belted ball (.816'' outside diameter), 31'' barrels with bright excellent bores. The barrels on this heavy dangerous game rifle retain all of their original lovely swirled pewter and two-tone brown damascus pattern their full lengths, the left side showing an area of pitting for about 4'', near the muzzle, which is light for the most part and unobtrusive. The arm features a simple bead front sight and three leaf express rear and is marked ''Charles Lancaster 151 New Bond St., London Registered April 19, 1848'' on the rib. The patent breeches show strong remnants of color case-hardening with some color peeking through, each with platinum blowout plugs and small inlaid platinum bands at their rear, some nice scroll on the rib extension between. The lockplates show perhaps 70% original color case-hardening, each with lovely English open flowing scroll which continues onto the hammer flats. They are maker marked ''C Lancaster/London'' in flowing ribands and have forward-sliding fire blued safeties. The tang as well shows nearly all of its original color case-hardening with the same exquisite flowing scroll. The tailpipe is engraved in a pineapple finial as is the front extension of the triggerplate, showing some nice color case-hardening. The bow of the guard shows much original blue with a checkered rearward grip spur to its rear. The bow shows a game scene of a running stag, flanked by open scroll, continuing on to the rear extension behind the serial number. There is a very nice pendulum-style patchbox showing excellent original color case-hardening and beautiful engraving on its front extension; the game scene at the center is a walking male lion. The iron buttplate is coarsely checkered and shows the same excellent scroll on its tang along with a standing stag. The English walnut stock rates very fine plus to excellent showing only light handling marks and dings here and there from the years. It features dropper points at the rear of the flats and crisp coarse checkering at the wrist and forearm, the forearm with a few bruises in between the wedge escutcheons. There is a very nice left-side rounded beaded dual shadowline cheekpiece and the butt does show a light ding at the toe which has slightly misshapen the buttplate, but it is uncracked. The arm comes in its original Charles Lancaster oak case with green baize lining and makers label on the interior. There are two bullet molds numbered to the gun, one belted round ball, one winged conical, along with a ''WD'' marked sprue cutter. There is a mainspring vise, patch cutter, nice James Dixon leather-bodied screw-off patent fireproof top flask, cleaning accessories, oil bottle, spanner, turn screw and cap tin. The Lancaster records show the rifle as: 12 lbs, 2 ft 7 in. barrels, two groove rifled for belted ball, registered April 19, 1848, sold to Major Longyear. An absolutely top shelf, outstanding example of a percussion dangerous game rifle which appears very much un-used or very well-cared for, with some exceptional original accessories.
