*SPECTACULAR CASED CUSTOM BUILT SHARPS MODEL 1877 LONG RANGE CREEDMOOR TARGET RIFLE.

SN NSN. Cal. 45-70. Fabulous target rifle, completely unmarked with 34″ heavy rnd bbl, a Ballard Rifle Company style spirit-level globe front sight, no provision for a rear sight and the tang is mounted with a Ballard Rifle Company style vernier sight with 5” staff. Underside of the tang sight is marked “Ballard” and three initials. Heel of the buttstock has a windage adjustable Creedmoor-style sight mount. Mounted with outstanding, highly figured, streaky European walnut with 1878 Sharps style checkered rnd forearm that has ebony tip, secured with two screws rather than the single key of the 1878 Sharps forearm. Buttstock is nearly identical to the 1877 long range Creedmoor stock with deep grip and serpentine cap with curl. It has a reproduction Sharps embossed hard rubber buttplate. Receiver, lever, lockplate & hammer are beautifully color case hardened. It is unfortunate that such a beautiful piece of work is unmarked, likely the maker will never be known. Accompanied by its orig green ballistic cloth & leather covered hard case, green felt lined and compartmented for the rifle and a cleaning rod with two empty open compartments and one covered compartment. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, appears to be new & unfired. Overall retains virtually all of its fine custom finish to both metal & wood with bright blue on the bbl and brilliant case colors elsewhere. Wood is sound with a few light handling & storage nicks & scratches. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are crisp; brilliant shiny bore. Would make an outstanding long range target rifle or hunting rifle. Case is equally new. 4-47911 JR127 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 2187

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2014
