HIGH GRADE COLT HAMMERLESS SHOTGUN.

SN 2936. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 30″ High quality Damascus bbls, choked IC and Mod, are marked with Colt’s Hartford address on rib with dolls head extension. Typical Colt hammerless action with automatic safety and double triggers, is engraved with exceptionally well cut sprays of small scroll, surrounding very fine hunting scenes on sides; setter points a pair of flushing snipe on left, with pair of pointers pointing pair of grouse on hillside on right. Beautifully marbled and figured European walnut round knob pistol grip buttstock measures 14″ over orig Colt buttplate. Checkered side panels have lozenge shaped drop points. There is well cut point pattern checkering at grip. A vacant silver oval is on toe line. Matching splinter forend with inset ebony tip, has Colt’s rendition of a Deeley release. CONDITION: Very fine, but gun suffers a bit from poor storage. Bbls retain 70 – 80% orig bbl brown, with excellent definition to pattern, most loss due to hand wear and spotting, mostly above forend. Action retains traces of orig case hardening color where protected, but is mostly silver to gray with some spotting. Stocks retain 85 – 90% of their orig French polish, with numerous marks and scuffs, some fairly deep. Checkering is lightly worn and dark. Bores are very fine with some frosting, and one or two small dents. Action has just a hint of looseness, otherwise mechanically fine. This scarce American gun is unusual in that it has relatively modern dimensions, and would probably make a good shooter. 49939-1 MGM166 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 1167
