Very Fine Engraved W. MacLauchlan Percussion Double Barrel Rifle with Case

The locks are signed "W. MACLAUCHLAN/EDINBURGH" and have scroll engraving, wavy line borders, and sliding half-cock safeties ahead of the hammers. The only markings on the barrels are the Birmingham proofs on the bottom. The rib has a blade front sight and notch rear sight with three folding leaves. The breeches have platinum plugs. The furniture also features scroll and floral engraving, the round patch box lid features a stag and doe in a highly detailed scene with cinder cone shaped mountains in the background, the trigger guard features a reposed leopard or other big cat in a tropical scene, and a stag head is on the buttplate tang near the heel. The stock has a smooth forend, blank silver wrist escutcheon, checkered wrist, flat steel buttplate, and no cheek rest. The length of pull is 14 3/8 inches. The case has a MacLauchlan trade label, cap tin, and a couple of tools. Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection

ConditionVery fine with 85% plus of the lightly fading brown finish and distinct twist patterns visible on the barrels, 75% original case colors (fading mostly on the right lock), 85% plus original blue, minor oxidation at the heel and toe of the buttplate, and minor overall wear. The stock is also very fine and has crisp checkering, nearly all of the original gloss varnish, and general light marks and scratches concentrated along the bottom of the forend. Mechanically excellent. The relined case is good and has some absent and detached lid pulls.
