Item Details
Low Estimate2000
High Estimate2500
.45 cal, 28'' round barrels with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 95% original maker plum-brown, showing a few minor handling marks here and there scattered about the surface. There is a raised sculpted front ramp with a globe style front sight installed and a semi-fancy step-adjustable v-notch rear; the rib is maker marked. Both the bar under locks are Spartan and un-adorned yet show strong original color case-hardening, fading a bit more on the hammers, the long tang as well shows some strong case colors and has a lollipop style aperture sight. The rifle features iron mountings with a dual spur triggerguard with a lightly sculpted front extension, crescent butt and simple toeplate and a pendulum style patchbox. All of the iron hardware shows some very good color case-hardening, more smoky and silvery on the buttplate and grasping area of the triggerguard. The American black walnut stock rates excellent with a nice flared cheekpiece with double shadowline and small flares at the rear of its stock flats. The cheekpiece with a very tastefully maker-inlaid compass in a blued steel base at the center. The stock shows some lovely grain figure in the area of the butt and shows an old very neatly camouflaged repair at the forestock near the wedge escutcheons. The right hammer is a very nicely made replacement from the period of use, the right lock seems to have no half-cock rest, the left lock functions properly, the front trigger is a single set which functions well. A very attractive double rifle from this very well-thought-of New York maker just outside of Albany. (3B9670-8) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (2000/2500)
