Item Details
Low Estimate1000
High Estimate2000
serial # 14775, 12 ga., 32" ventilated rib B_hler Spezial steel barrels choked a tight modified and a tight full with bright excellent bores which show remnants of some very light oxidation in the areas of ahead of the forcing cones which may have left some extremely light pinprick pitting. The barrels retain about 95%-97% original blue, the loss is due to even fading to a dark plum with scattered light oxidation here and there, the bottom barrel with a number of light handling marks and scratches on its underside. The frame retains roughly 92-95% original color case-hardening, muting on the belly of the frame, and is extensively engraved in rose and scroll with banknote filigree bordering, the top lever retaining nearly all its original blue. The arm features protruding, rather than dial, cocking indicators, gold plated internals, externals including the articulated trigger and extractors as well. The left extractor is marked "2 3/4" on its face and the arm was equipped with ivory target beads, the center bead now missing. The three-piece forend rates very good plus to perhaps near excellent with only light handling marks from the years, the horn insert still intact at the tip of the forend; the forend latch is oxidized. Sadly the buttstock has been broken completely in half at some point and will need to be replaced. There is a German silver oval monogram plate along the toeline engraved "CKR" for Charles Kellogg Rockwell USMA Class of 1906; at West Point he was awarded the Army Athletic Trophy. He served his country in the First World War, had a love of horses, riding and jumping and enjoyed hunting very much. It was said of him by a former classmate in his eulogy "He was an ardent hunter always. No one could match him with the shotgun in the hunting preserves of South Carolina when the birds were flying and the setters were pointing". Lockup is tight and the gun seems to function well mechanically. Right side of barrel features the Merkel Brothers name, left side the AF Stoeger Inc. New York address with "Sole American Agent". A lovely prewar 301 ejectorgun overall certainly worthy of the restoration. (37796-4) {C&R}

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.

Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of 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).

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