Finish: brown/nickel
Grip:

Item Views: 1788

Catalog Page: 234
Class: Antique
Description:

The bores on this example measure .815 and the chambers measure .950. There is a single bead sight on the concave solid rib and the chokes measure .006/.020. The top of the rib is engraved "WM. R. SCHAEFER & SON BOSTON." and the bottom flat is stamped with Belgian proofmarks. The breech face is marked "ANSON&DEELEY/117/BREVETE". Mounted on a multi-point checkered, nicely figured, dark English walnut forearm and Prince of Wales buttstock with a silver initial oval and a checkered horn buttplate. Length of pull is 14 inches.

Rating Definition:

Fine, 60% of the brown finish remains on the barrels with nearly all of the Damascus pattern showing. There are scattered areas of minor cleaned pitting. The receiver and forend iron retain 60% of the original nickel plated finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The refinished stock is also fine with the hard rubber tip of the forearm repaired along with scattered minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent but action requires a good cleaning.
