High Estimate5000
serial #81367, 32-40, 30" No. 3 weight barrel with an excellent bore. This is a very nice High Wall. The rifle is in standard configuration except for factory close coupled double set triggers. The condition is lovely with the barrel retaining 90 - 95% evenly thinning original blue finish which has a very nice appearance showing silvery brown on the highest edges. The action retains between 90 and 95% original color case-hardened finish which remains quite vivid and with most loss on just the tangs where the metal is turning to a pleasing smooth brown patina. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate very good plus to excellent with 90% original finish remaining and with perhaps a light coat of oil added. The rifle is sighted with standard open sporting sights. The triggers function properly. The rifle comes with a factory letter confirming the configuration of the rifle and showing it received in the warehouse on April 7, 1898 and not shipping until January 3rd, 1899. A very fine High Wall rifle which retains lots of brilliant color case-hardening. (17889-70) {ANTIQUE} [Allan Wilson Collection]
