Item Details

Low Estimate3000
High Estimate5000
.48 cal, 30'' medium-heavy octagon barrel measuring 1 5/16'' across the flats, with a bright excellent bore showing a couple spots of light pitting near the muzzle, and a light counterbore for ease of loading. Barrel is a mix of fading original plum brown and toning to a light pewter gray, with some sparsely scattered spots of very light oxidation staining here or there. It features a heavy octagonal based simple blade front sight and longleaf flat-top rear with step-adjustable elevator. There is an extended rear aperture sight as well, affixed to the barrel, adjustable for windage and elevation, the edges lightly chiseled reminiscent of J.S. Dutton's work, the long leaf aperture with gradient scale to 800 yards. The barrel is maker marked on its left diagonal flat ''HH Rowell'', flanked by one piece federal-style eagle stamps. The balance of the iron furniture is all a smooth pewter gray patina. The back action lockplate shows some very light open flowing scroll, and is maker marked identically to the barrel, and has a wide arcing hammer with dolphin nose front. There is a heavy pewter nosecap with all of the balance of the furniture being silver. There are arrow shaped wedge escutcheons, a Spartan forestock inlay, single spur triggerguard, toeplate, patchbox with gold plated lid, butt inlays very similar to Dutton's work, un-engraved chiseled rectangular butt inlay and an open scroll lock screw escutcheon, all of silver; the crescent buttplate is actually nickel silver. The American walnut stock rates very fine with much original varnish and the expected light handling marks, showing some stunning grain figure in the butt and coarse flat-topped checkering at the wrist. The lock is dual-acting and the rifle is equipped with double set triggers which seem to function well. Horace Hall Rowell was born in Hooksett New Hampshire in 1830, moving to California after his brother in 1853. (His dad was a drummer in the war of 1812) Rowell mined for three years, then opened up a gunsmithing shop, which he lost to fire, relocating to Sonora and opening again in 1875. It is no stretch to think that perhaps Mr. Rowell had seen Dutton's work ''back east'' and remembered it, slightly emulating some of his designs within his work. A very fine California-made sporting and target rifle from one of the finest of the California gunsmiths. (3C8937-283) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES • All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed.

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. While most NICS and State approvals are immediate, approvals could take up to 3 days. Most non-residents may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check; modern handguns will need to be shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer's home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale.

NOTE: Items that meet the age requirements but have been altered from their original configuration may NOT be delivered on a C&R License.
