Factory Engraved George Gibbs Farquharson Patent Single Shot Falling Block Sporting Rifle with Zeiss Scope

Blued steel barrel with ramped white bead front sight, fixed blade rear sight which doubles as the front scope mount, the rear scope mount, and the caliber "275 H.V./(FLANGED)" on the left of the breech. The casehardened falling block action is adorned with beautiful near full coverage floral scroll engraving with tasteful use of negative space surrounding "GEORGE GIBBS/BRISTOL" on the left side. The action is also marked on the right with "FARQUHARSON'S/PATENT/576". The action is originally from a .461 Long Range Target rifle built circa 1890. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered forend with ebony tip and pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, blank inscription oval, and red rubber recoil pad. Includes a Zeiss Diavari-C 3-9x36mm scope.

ConditionVery fine as professionally restored, showing 99% blue and casehardened finishes, some slight chipping along some of the edges of the wood, some very light scattered handling evidence, and sharp re-cut checkering. The scope optics are sharp. Action functions properly; however, chamber is tight.
