Low Estimate5000
serial #77581, 32-40, 30" No. 4 weight barrel with a bright excellent bore. This rifle has many special order features which include fancy checkered pistol grip stocks with cheekpiece, Schuetzen butt, Schuetzen double set triggers, palm rest, factory matted barrel on top three flats, first style spur lever, windgauge front, no rear seat and mid-range Vernier tang mounted peepsight - all of these features are confirmed in the included factory letter. In addition to these features the letter calls the barrel 32" with a countersunk muzzle, the barrel was subsequently very neatly shortened to 30" during the period of use. The condition of the rifle is very nice with the barrel retaining 90% evenly thinning original blue finish with all markings offset onto the left flat. The action retains 90 - 95% original color case-hardened finish which has softened slightly over the years and has a very pleasing appearance. The checkered pistolgrip buttstock and forend are of highly figured walnut and rate excellent with about 95% original finish remaining. The checkering is very sharp and may have been neatly freshened at some point and perhaps there was a little oil finish added. The tuning fork palmrest is in place and the adjustable double set triggers function properly. The left side of the lower tang is marked with factory assembly numbers "3802 XXX SB CM", the endgrain of stock beneath buttplate is marked "3802" and the buttplate is re-nickeled and marked on inside "3884". The top flat of the barrel shows two pairs of holes which once held scope blocks and now hold filler screws. The rifle is sighted with its original windgauge front and mid-range Vernier tang mounted peepsight. This is a very handsome rifle with many rare features. Factory letter is included which shows a ship date of May 20, 1897. (18308-1) {ANTIQUE}
