Description:

The receiver was manufactured in 1914. The barrel is marked "HYDE ARMS CORPORATION, NEW YORK" on top, a company associated with George Hyde. Hyde, a former shop foreman for Griffin & Howe, is most well known for designing the U.S. M3 submachine gun or "grease gun" as well as the FP-45 Liberator pistol. Along with these more well known guns were the Hyde Model 33 and 35 submachine guns which were very strong competitors to the Thompson submachine gun, but never quite took off. Fitted with a ramped Marble blade front sight, barrel mounted scope blocks and tang mounted Lyman peep sight. Mounted with a checkered beavertail forearm and pistol grip stock with shadow-line cheek piece and shotgun buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as period custom upgraded by Hyde Arms Corporation, retains 98% blue finish and 50% case colors with the balance a smooth grey patina, a few scattered light handling marks, and a small spot of light pitting on the right of the receiver. The finely figured wood is also very fine with some scattered minor dings and scratches, and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
