Item Details
High Estimate1500
Low Estimate1000
serial #32138, 12 ga, 30” Siemens-Martin steel barrels choked improved modified and full, with bright very good bores with scattered light pitting, the greater concentration nearer the muzzles. The barrels retain about 95-96% professionally reapplied blue, thinning lightly and toning to gray-brown when viewed under direct light, silvering on the edges of the rib and muzzles, light wear in the breech area, and previous pinprick to light pitting beneath the finish. The frame has worn to a pleasant pewter patina with scattered remnants of hardened oil and overall fine pinprick pitting, and is nicely embellished with foliate scroll engraving, lightened in spots, and the fences show nice foliate relief engraving; the sides of the frame are lightly marked “A. FRANCOTTE MAKER & PATENTEE / LIEGE BELGIUM”. The straight grip walnut stock and wide beavertail forend are in very good plus to near excellent condition with scattered minor dings and light handling marks, the stock fit with a Noshoc solid recoil pad giving an about 15” length of pull with drops of about 1 3/8” and 2 1/8”; the stock and forend show attractive grain figure, best on the left side of the butt. The right barrel is marked “VON LENGERKE & DETMOLD” and the left “U.S. AGENTS. NEW – YORK”, both markings light but generally legible, and the barrels are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up by dual underlugs and a Greener-style crossbolt with sideclips, the barrels slightly off-face showing a sliver of light between the breech and standing breech and the lever coming to rest at center, and features double triggers, a nonautomatic safety, extractors, 2 3/4” chambers, and is sighted with dual ivory beads. The shotgun appears to function well mechanically. (14A10636-48) {C&R} (1000/1500)

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.

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