*◊ PHENOMENAL DANISH SCHOUBOE, LATE VARIATION, WITH ORIGINAL SHOULDER STOCK.

SN 455. Cal. 11.35mm. This late variation single action Schouboe has a 5″ bbl, pinned front sight & fixed rear sight. Left frame is marked “DANSK-REKYLRIFFEL-SYNDIKAT. / KOBENHAVN” followed by “PATENT SCHOUBOE”, on the tang. The fire designation for the safety is marked “FEU”. SN “455” is on back of the frame and under the slide. Major parts are rust blued, trigger is polished and in-the-white. The magazine is finished with fire blue. Checkered wood panels each secured with a single screw at the base. Accompanied by a very unusual & unmarked matching numbered shoulder stock, the only one ever seen by this cataloger, with a heavy hinged steel lug that surrounds the grip of the pistol. After folding the hinge back in place, a levered wingnut is moved into position for final tightening. The base of the lug is recessed so that the magazine release can be pushed forward to drop the magazine. On the left face is a belt hook. The right face of the stock has a hinged aluminum door to which is attached a leather magazine pouch. Releasing the double armed brass bracket opens the door, revealing a recess for the pistol, a design very different from the usual hollowed stock/hinged lid. PROVENANCE: Ex Dinely collection. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Pistol has 98% bright orig rust blue with most wear confined to the areas on front & backstrap that would have contacted the stock lug. Nearly unblemished trigger. The unnumbered magazine retains 80-85% of it fire blue. Near mirror bore. Functional manual mechanics, though the safety will not block or disengage the firing mechanism, i.e. the pistol will fire when placed on safe. Stock is in near excellent condition with the lug & belt loop retaining nearly 98% of their orig rust blue. Magazine pouch has begun to separate from the aluminum door that has greyed & toned with time. Much of the orig varnish remains on the stock whose surface is liberally sprinkled with a scattering of surface dings & small dents. Overall, an extremely charismatic and unique Schouboe, well known in collector’s circles for decades. 4-52535 LMA102 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 1304
