Mounted with about 3X, center crotch, flame grain American walnut that includes H-style checkered forearm and capped pistol grip buttstock with smooth steel buttplate.

This rifle was produced at a time when using a firearm for hunting and personal protection was commonplace. This rifle was probably someone’s hunting rifle that saw very little use in the outdoors. Extended exposure to the ultraviolet rays of sunshine rapidly fades case colors. Special Note: This item contains or is made of ivory.

This information is located in the front section of our catalog. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains about 98% strong orig blue with a couple of small nicks and slight muzzle end wear, beginning to turn a little plum. Receiver retains about all of its orig case colors, brilliant on the sides & upper and lower tangs, lightly faded on top and bottom edges. Hammer retains about all of its orig case colors turned dark on top edge. Lever retains bright case colors on sides, moderately faded on outer faces. Forend cap shows dark case colors turning a little brown. Buttplate is mostly a smooth light brown patina with rust on the heel. Stock is missing slivers around both upper and lower tangs on both sides, lower left is fairly large, otherwise wood is sound with a few light nicks and scratches and retain virtually all of its orig oil finish. Mechanics are crisp. Brilliant shiny bore shows very little use if any, receiver is still full of old grease. 49622-1 JR IVORY (15,000-25,000) – Lot 3056
