SN 97799. Cal. .470 Nitro Express. 24″ Shoe lump bbls are fitted with quarter rib mounting one standing, two folding leaf express rear sight. A gold bead front sight with silver flip-up night bead is longitudinally dovetailed into front ramp. Unusual blued action with Krieghoff’s unique cocking/ safety mechanism and double triggers (front articulated) has wiggle border engraving accented by flourishes of scroll and gold wire inlay of the African continent on top lever pivot, and exceptionally well rendered Bulino engraved gold inlaid cape buffalo within oval on trigger plate. Bottom of action is marked “KRIEGHOFF CLASSIC”. Nicely marbled and well figured European walnut steel capped pistol grip buttstock measures 15″ over brown leather covered pad. Stock features swept shadow line right hand cheekpiece and modified point pattern checkering with ribbons through pattern. Stock is very heavy toward butt, and has either been weighted or fitted with recoil reducer. Matching slim beavertail forend has Deeley type release. Drop at heel: 2-1/16″. Drop at comb: 1-3/4″. Weight: 11 lbs 6 oz. LOP: 15″. Also included with rifle are a set of RCBS dies and 18 hand loaded cartridges and 2 empties, along with a target showing a group of 4 shots at 25 yards centered 1″ high of X ring with an extreme spread of 1-1/4″ center to center, with notes regarding load, distance, and sight setting. PROVENANCE: The Dr. Edmund Lewis Collection. Consignor has used this rifle in Africa, and it has a proven track record with two Elephants and four Cape Buffalo having been taken with this rifle. CONDITION: Excellent, but showing evidence of considerable field use. Metal parts retain nearly all of their orig blue, except cocking slide which is silvered, and has a scuff. What appear to be custom or special order stocks, retain most of their orig finish, dulled and worn on sharp edges, and with a number of minor marks and scratches, as would be expected from a few weeks in the African bush. Leather of pad shows considerable scuffing. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Cartridges and dies are fine. This fine dangerous game rifle is exceptionally well balanced and it appears that the cocking slide has been made to work silently. This rifle is ready for your next safari. 4-51219 MGM91 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 2293
