serial #C784, .50 cal, 35 1/4'' barrel with Whitworth rifling and a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some light oxidation and frosting in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this handsome service-style rifle is a relatively even mix of original plum-brown finish thinning and toning to a pleasant mild gray showing a few scattered handling marks and minor pinprick pits. The barrel bands are similar showing some scattered flakes of bright blue and their screws with good fire blue. The breech, lockplate and triggerguard are toning to pewter gunmetal, the breech retaining a healthy amount of vibrant case-hardened colors lurking about the protected areas and features a platinum blowout plug. The lockplate, breech tang and triggerguard show lovely English scrollwork embellishments, the lockplate also with a nice geometric border and Whitworth trademark crown at the rear. The hammer shows a nice game bird integrated into the scrollwork and there is a recumbent buck atop the patent breech and the triggerguard features an attractive pineapple finial. The barrel shows no visible external proof marks or serial number otherwise with ''WHITWORTH PATENT'' on top, the lockplate, rear sight and tang sight also maker-marked. The tang sight shows strong bright blue and is equipped with a wide aperture disc, graduated on the right side from 1 to 12 and the left side from 0 to 300 in increments of 25. The rear sight is Whitworth's service-style with cogwheel adjustment and platinum lines, retaining strong bright and fire blue finishes and the front is a windage adjustable heavy target globe with medium-sized bead-on-post. The checkered walnut stock remains in very fine condition, the finish and checkering somewhat worn from the years and showing a very thin crack near the lock screw and some scattered light dings and handling marks. Metal-to-wood fit remains very nice and the butt shows lovely tiger stripe grain figure throughout. The tang sight, rear sight, ramrod and barrel bands are all matching, a small adjustment tool for the front sight is included and the lock functions crisply. A lovely example of these finely crafted British rifles renowned for their accuracy. (13D9670-54) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (6000/8000)
