Description:

A limited amount of these .44-100 Peabody-Martini Creedmoor long range target rifles were manufactured in the mid-1870s to 1880s by the Providence Tool Co. of Rhode Island for long range target shooting at the nearby Creedmoor Rifle Range on Long Island. Less than 1,000 Peabody-Martini sporting rifles, in at least six different configurations, were manufactured in total by the Providence Tool Co. This Creedmoor rifle has a windage adjustable globe front sight and a tang mounted vernier peep rear sight. Top of the barrel marked "MANUFACTURED BY THE PROVIDENCE TOOL CO. PROVIDENCE R.I. U.S.A." with the top of the breech area marked "44 CAL/100 GRS." Right side of the frame engraved "Peabody & Martini Patents" in ornate Gothic script with scroll accents, and "Creedmoor" in the same lettering with coordinating scrolls on the left side. "W.J. WOLCOTT" marked on the cocking indicator. Matching serial number "104" located on the bottom of the frame, barrel, rear surface of the forearm, rear surface of the buttstock and interior of the buttplate. Checkered walnut forearm and stock with bordered checkering at the wrist.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish on the barrel with a few scattered light handling marks, 85% plus vivid original case colors with some fading concentrated on the trigger guard, lever and buttplate, some scattered patches of minor freckling/pitting on the balance, and crisp engraving. Wood is fine with defined edges, numerous scattered dings and scratches, and some nicks visible in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
