IMPORTED REMINGTON DOUBLE BARREL PERCUSSION SHOTGUN.

IMPORTED REMINGTON DOUBLE BARREL PERCUSSION SHOTGUN. NSN. 12 ga. 33-1/2” ribbed bbl. Marked “IMPORTED BY- E – REMINGTON & SONS – ILION – N Y” on top of the Damascus bbl. There are Birmingham and crown over both “BP” proof marks on the bottom of the bbl with makers initials “WR” on the bottom of the bbls and “J. W.” on the bottom rib. The locks are lightly engraved, but the balance of the furniture is plain. The wood ramrod has a brass tip on each end. Accompanying the gun are advertisements by Remington describing their imported shotguns and other items. Consignor believes this was a sample gun, made perhaps by Westley Richards, in England to entice Remington to import and sell English shotguns (see ad) before the Civil War, since Remington was not selling guns at the time. Consignor and those in the Remington Society Research Team have never seen another so marked. This gun was pictured in The Guns of Remington by Howard Madaus, p. 7. CONDITIONS: Retains most of the refinish on all metal parts. Stock has some dents and a repair with a replaced sliver on the right side of the forearm. Mechanically fine. 4-59439 (1,200-1,600)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2006

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
