UNMARKED UNDERHAMMER PERCUSSION SPORTING RIFLE.

UNMARKED UNDERHAMMER PERCUSSION SPORTING RIFLE. Cal about 42. NSN. Probably NH made rifle with 31” light oct bbl, two iron guides and one replacement brass guide. It has a tiny early front sight and what is probably an old period of use replacement rear sight. It has a brass trigger guard and buttplate with 4-pc brass patchbox having a heart shaped cutout. The left side of the buttstock has an early style German silver star inlay. This is a different style mechanism in that it has a separate main spring instead of using the trigger guard. CONDITION: Good to very good. Bbl retains an even dark brown patina with some light vise marks near the buttstock and heavy pitting around the nipple. Stock has a small chip near the hammer screw. Otherwise it is sound and retains most of a very old refinish. Good mechanics. 4-50537 JR97 (1,000-2,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2004

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.
