Spectacular restoration of a scarce rifle with 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, German silver Rocky Mountain front sight, semi-buckhorn rear sight and a locking Lyman combination tang sight. Receiver has double set triggers. Mounted with spectacular honey & chocolate replacement European walnut with early B-style checkered forearm and straight stock with smooth steel semi-crescent buttplate. Left side of upper & lower tang, and inside the buttplate are matching numbered to the rifle. Receiver is engraved in #2 style which consists of the vignette of a bugling bull elk on the left side and a standing bull buffalo on the right side, all surrounded by very finely executed foliate arabesque patterns with very fine pearled background and a fine chipped border. Dust cover is engraved with a small vignette of a bull elk head with small arabesque patterns around the receiver and top tang. Receiver has had the engraving either chased or simply applied at the time of restoration. PROVENANCE: Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Overall retains virtually all of its spectacular restored finishes to both metal & wood with bright blues and brilliant case colors, including forend cap & buttplate. Wood shows no apparent flaws. Mechanics are fine; strong bright bore slightly dark in the grooves, would make an outstanding shooter, very impressive at a cowboy action shoot. 4-53900 JR55 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 2132
