Correction: Firearm is antique.

RARE ENGRAVED STEVENS WALNUT HILL MODEL 49 SINGLE SHOT TARGET RIFLE. SN 5858. Cal. 22 Short. Built on a scarce 44-1/2″ action with about a #3 weight 28″ oct to rnd bbl with globe front sight, no provision for a rear sight and has a tang sight with 3″ staff. Mounted with nicely figured European walnut with checkered schnable tip forearm and serpentine grip light Schuetzen buttstock with cheekpiece and steel Swiss buttplate. Receiver is beautifully engraved with foliate & floral patterns and a coarse zig zag border with fine shading. Top flats of receiver, top tang and bottom of receiver are engraved to match. Altogether a very beautiful and probably very accurate off-hand target rifle. CONDITION: Extremely fine, forend is matching numbered; buttstock was not removed as the bottom tang screw is broken; bbl retains about 95% crisp orig blue with only very faint sharp edge wear, unfortunately with a band of heavy pitting around the muzzle that, unless one looks closely, is not distracting; receiver retains virtually all of its bright orig case colors with only faint sharp edge wear and breech block retains about all of its orig blue; lever is mostly a plum patina as is the buttplate. Wood is sound with light nicks & scratches and retains most of its crisp orig varnish, darker on forearm with the forearm showing light to moderate wear. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-36690 JR (4,000-6,000)
