Item Details
Low Estimate2500
High Estimate3000
.45 cal, 32'' slightly tapered octagon barrel drilled for false muzzle and with a bright near excellent bore showing a little bit of fine oxidation or frosting in the grooves and otherwise crisp rifling. The barrel retains about 95% nice plum-brown finish showing some mild edge wear and scattered handling marks. The top flat shows maker's Troy, NY address and the lock, breech plug, fancy triggerguard and other small parts are all nickel-plated. These parts retain about 94% nickel with some scattered light flaking and mild oxidation staining. The bolster features a wide cap deflector and the lock is unmarked with remaining fittings consisting of a pewter nosecap, dual-lobed barrel wedge escutcheons, Swiss-style buttplate with checkered knobs and plain rectangular toe plate. The smooth deluxe walnut stock remains in about very good condition showing a repaired break at the wrist and a bit of added finish, thin sliver missing near the triggerguard and some other light dings. The wood otherwise exhibits some lovely grain figure throughout and the stock is of prominent ''perch belly'' design featuring Nelson Lewis's signature exaggerated left-side shadowline cheekpiece that takes up nearly the entire side of the buttstock. The rifle is sighted with a very nicely crafted period tang sight with fine windage adjustable aperture and a target globe front with aperture post. The lock with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically and the rifle includes its false muzzle with iron starter body and brass starter rod. A fine rifle from this excellent and prolific New York maker. (13B11678-29) {ANTIQUE} (2500/3000)
