SPRINGER’s ERBEN IN WIEN” and “K.K. KAMMER GEWEHR LIEFERANTEN” on tops. Bottoms of bbls are stamped with SN and Belgian proofs. A sling loop is soldered to bottom rib. Small, round bodied Jones under lever action is fitted with peninsula non rebounding back action locks with short round bodied serpentine hammers with tall spurs. Locks are fitted with front sliding safeties which engage at half cock. Both triggers are set. Action and locks are engraved with well cut Germanic scroll. “Joh Springer’s in Wien” is on left side of action and on locks behind hammers, with “K. K. Kammer” markings on right side of action. Steel trigger guard is checkered at grip, which extends to engraved steel cap. Beautifully marbled circassian walnut buttstock measures 14″ over engraved steel buttplate with small trap covering space for one cartridge. Stock features small right hand shadow line cheekpiece, flat top point pattern checkering with mullered borders at grip, and a sling loop and vacant silver oval at toe line. Slightly beavertailed schnabeled forend is nearly completely checkered, and attaches to bbls with long forward pivoting lever. Drop at heel: approx 2-5/16″, drop at comb: approx 1-5/16″. Weight: 5 lbs 12 oz. LOP: 14″. Green canvas two gun case with hinged ends and covers, is lined in green canvas and has Springer label in one end cap. PROVENANCE: George Reeb Collection. CONDITION: Fine, as partially refinished. Bbls retain nearly all of a well done re-brown giving fine definition to pattern. Action and lockplates retain a considerable amount of orig color where protected, but are mostly a mottled silver to gray. Stocks retain nearly all of a rubbed oil finish over numerous heavy and light marks and small dents. Forend wood is a well done replacement and retains essentially all of its finish. Grip checkering is slightly worn. Forend checkering is sharp. Bores are very fine, with strong rifling throughout, with a few light pits toward breech ends. Action is tight. Bbls are slightly off face. Locks are crisp. Safeties and set triggers work. Case cloth has mottled appearance, and has been stabilized with shellac which is beginning to chip. Leather trim is considerably scuffed and deteriorated. Straps and handle have been nicely restored. Interior cloth is good. Label is fine with some stains and foxing. A cute little rifle by this highly regarded maker. 4-53709 (5,000-9,000) – Lot 2341
