Item Details
Low Estimate3000
High Estimate5000
serial #91839 (Hoffman arms No. 437), 30-06, 22" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original rust blue, the loss is due to even fading and light high edge wear with some scattered very light oxidation. The bolt body and extractor remain bright with their nice mottled tiger stripe burnishing still vivid; the bolt is numbered "1810" at its root. The rifle is stocked classic style without cheekpiece in a very nice grade of English walnut. The stock itself rates about excellent with only scant minor handling marks from the years. It features a flawlessly executed wrap-over grip pattern with mullered borders with the forend showing a full wrap-around pattern of the same design. The stock features a nice bone forend tip, blued steel gripcap and a grooved steel buttplate giving a 13 3/8" length of pull. The action is numbered on its underside and the barrel is marked "SC 348". Interestingly there is a barrel band swivel in place but no provision on the stock for a rear swivel, the floorplate is hinged with inside-the-triggerguard release and the rifle has been fitted with a Timney Sportsman trigger. The gun is sighted with a nice sporting ramp front with stippled face and brass bead, its hood is also present; there is a Howe-Whelen bolt shroud sight in place on the rear of the bolt. The top of the barrel is appropriately marked "Hoffman Arms Co. Ardmore Okla No. 437" and the gun is pictured and discussed in Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century. There is a small crack at the rear of the tang, it is tiny, and a bruise in the wood just behind it which does not impinge on the checkering. Really an extremely attractive and well-executed rifle with a very seldom-seen rear sight assembly; a lovely rifle. (36650-82) {C&R} [Michael Petrov Collection]

WARNING
Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. does not warranty the safety of any article it sells. Therefore, we recommend that, before you use any firearm, purchased here or anywhere else, you have it examined by a qualified gunsmith to determine whether or not it is safe to use.
GENERAL STATEMENTS
All bidders who attend the sale must register and obtain a bidders card in order to participate in the auction. Absentee/Telephone bidders must register by filling out and signing an absentee bid sheet.
The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall become the owner upon the fall of the hammer. The auctioneer has sole discretion in the case of a dispute among bidders.
Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. has taken great care in the preparation of the descriptions in this catalog. Although we believe everything in the descriptions to be true, we do not guarantee any part of any description. We recommend that the bidders view the items in person and form their own opinions as to condition, originality, origin, etc. Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. will consider all requests for refunds. If a customer is unhappy with a purchase we will be happy to discuss a remedy with them.
All requests for refunds must be made within 30 days of the sale date. Therefore, it is important that absentee bidders pay for their items in a timely fashion. All requests for refunds received after 30 days of the sale date will not be considered.
Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. reserves the right to reject any bid in order to protect our consignors interests.
Reserves: A very few lots will be offered with reserve. In cases where items are reserved, a bid of the low estimate will always exceed the reserve. Reserves will be bid by the auctioneer as an opening bid so any bid taken from the floor or the phone is a live bid above the reserve amount.
Bidding on any item in the sale indicates the bidder's full acceptance and understanding of all terms and conditions of sale.

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
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. 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. Bidders should be familiar with their local and state laws as Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be responsible for any parties purchasing items which may not be possessed in, or shipped, to their state of residence.

ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE BIDDING
As a service to our buyers, Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. will accept absentee bids from bidders who cannot attend the sale. Bidders without prior credit approval are required to submit a 20% deposit prior to bids being accepted (credit cards may be used for absentee deposits). Absentee bids will be bid in a competitive manner and an absentee bidder needs only to outbid another buyer i.e. bidding will not be opened at the maximum bid unless that is the next competitive bid. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges.
Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be held responsible for errors or omissions of any type that may occur during this service.
All absentee bids must be received by 8:00pm on the day prior to the auction. If you plan to attend the sale but will not be staying until the end and want to leave a bid on an item that will be sold after you leave, we must have those bids in by 9:00am on the morning of the sale. No bids will be accepted after that time. Please do not call the gallery once the auction has started (after 10:00am) as we will not be able to accept bids or make changes to bids.
Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. will also accept telephone bids on a limited basis. Telephone bidding is reserved for seriously interested bidders. In order to bid by telephone, the bidder must be willing to pay at least the low estimate of the item being bid on.
~ NOTE: PHONE BIDS NEED TO BE ARRANGED BY 5:00 pm ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE AUCTION ~
All absentee/telephone bidder invoices are mailed within a few days of the sale, are due upon receipt, and are to be paid either by cash or check. All items not paid for within 20 business days from sale date shall be considered abandoned as well as any deposit that was made on those items and Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. shall have sole discretion as to their disposal. NOTE: As previously stated under “Payment Policy”, items that have not been previewed in person may not be paid for by credit card.
If you are a first time absentee/telephone bidder and have additional questions regarding how to place bids, please refer to the instruction sheet on page 337.
