Description:

Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company's Galazan line of guns are undeniably among the finest guns produced in the United States. They are built by some of the finest craftsman in the country and engraved by a network of master engravers of only the highest caliber, with this early production gun being a shining example. The gun was built with blued steel barrels featuring a single brass bead sight , "CONNECTICUT SHOTGUN MFG. CO./NB. CT. USA" signed on the right of the upper tube and "A. GALAZAN " on the left, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are mated with an exceptionally well engraved and casehardened pinless and screwless sidelock action displaying extremely intricate bouquet and scroll engraving with "GALAZAN" in gold on either side. The magnificent engraving was executed by the hand of Italian Master Engraver Armando Piardi of the engraving firm Creative Art who has signed his work on the trigger plate to the right of the trigger. The gun features a single non-selective trigger, and a tang mounted automatic safety with a gold inlaid "S" safety indicator. The gun is mounted with a beautiful highly figured and multi-point checkered forend with blued and engraved Anson button release and Boss style extended forend shoe as well as a straight grip stock with engraved and blued heel and toe plates around a checkered bare butt. Included is a wood and leather takedown case, a pair of gold snap caps, gold oiler, and cleaning tools. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .624/.625 inches; choke constriction .009/.016 inches; minimum wall thickness .032/.029 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 3/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/2 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 3 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original blue finish and case colors with limited handling marks and crisp engraving. The forend is also excellent with limited handling marks and crisp checkering. The stock is very good with a series of chips on the right side of the butt, some overall scratches, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is excellent.
