*TRULY EXCEPTIONAL N.J. MAKINSON .600 NITRO EXPRESS H&H STYLE SIDELOCK EJECTOR DOUBLE RIFLE WITH PEERLESS SCROLL AND BULINO ENGRAVING BY ADONE “TIZ” POZZOBON.

SN 600. Cal. .600 Nitro Express. 26″ Chopper lump bbls are still “in the white”, and are fitted with quarter rib and matching front sight base for one standing, one folding leaf express rear, and silver bead front, sights. Muzzles are treated in modern H&H fashion with ends protruding well past front sight base. Tops of bbls are engraved “N. J. Makinson & Son. Howell Michigan” and “600 Nitro Express 900 Grains”. Front sight base, quarter rib, and rear portions of bbls are engraved with well cut and shaded acanthus scroll. Bbl flats are stamped with 1991 London proofs for 600 at 2860 BAR. SN is on loop. A sling loop in large base is soldered to bottom rib. Beautifully filed H&H type sidelock action is also still “in the white”. It features top strap which extends over comb, automatic safety (SAFE engraved on gold rectangle), bushed strikers, hidden third fastener, pinless back action sidelocks, reinforcing bolsters, and double triggers (front articulated). Action is engraved with 60% coverage exceptionally fine, beautifully cut, semi-relief, delicately shaded, large, open, scrolled acanthus with floral accents. This eye appealing bold scroll gives counterpoint to truly exceptional, almost photographic quality, Bulino scenes of giant tuskers. The Bulino method of shading gives almost a 3-dimensional quality to this subject. The elephant with spread ears in the foreground of the scene on the left sidelock, is truly amazing. As is the open savanna with acacia trees and dramatic clouded sky in background. Another well detailed pair of elephants is on right sidelock with mountainous background. There is another bull elephant in open scrubland on bottom of action. “N. J. Makinson & Son” is in scrolled riband around top lever pivot. Double beaded trigger guard continues the fine scroll on bow through tang, with SN gold inlaid, which extends to matching steel trap grip cap. This magnificent work, both scroll and Bulino, are by “Tiz” Pozzobon of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, artist and founder of Adone Galleries. His signature is on trigger plate. Gorgeous, intricately marbled and finely figured Circassian walnut capped pistol grip buttstock features checkered wood butt, H&H style shadow line right hand cheekpiece, point pattern checkering at grip, and drop points. An unengraved gold oval is on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Drop at heel: approx 2-3/4″, drop at comb: approx 1-7/8″. Weight: 15 lbs. 12 oz. LOP: 15″. Tan leather case with leather corners is lined in green felt. PROVENANCE: Collection of Milan “Steve” Babiar. CONDITION: Excellent, unfinished. Muzzles have not had solder “cleaned up”, and possibly need further regulation. All metal is “in the white” with some light oxidation on its fine, almost finished, polish. Stocks are finished in rubbed oil, and have a number of light storage and handling marks. Case is excellent. A unique high quality big bore double rifle, in need of its final finish. 4-51437 MGM226 (50,000-80,000) – Lot 2264
