*EXTRAORDINARILY RARE ENGRAVED AND CASED REMINGTON MODEL 12F PUMP ACTION RIFLE WITH GOLD.

SN 300441. Cal. 22. Stunning Remington rifle with 23-3/4″ oct bbl, 3/4 magazine and orig sights. Mounted with very highly figured, burl & streaky Circassian walnut with ribbon checkered & carved bullet shaped forearm and straight stock with Remington trademark embossed crescent buttplate. Receiver is spectacularly engraved in Germanic style, probably by renowned engraver Rudolph Kornbrath or possibly Wilbur Glahn. Regardless of who it was engraved by it most assuredly is wonderful work. Engraving consists of full coverage exquisite, intertwined foliate arabesque patterns with fine shaded & pearled background. Left side has the fabulously detailed vignette of two gold rabbits, one of which has apparently been shot by the hunter in the background who has just shot at the second one. The entire vignette is set in a very detailed woodland scene. Right side has a smaller vignette of a large gold squirrel sitting on a limb in a woodland scene. Top of receiver has the small vignette of a gold fox head that appears to be looking out of a knothole in a tree. Matching engraving extends about 3-3/4″ up the top flat of the bbl and about 1-3/4″ on the top side and side flats. Bottom of receiver, trigger plate & trigger guard are engraved to match with the SN hand engraved in an arc on the bottom front. Bottom tang SN is also hand engraved. The two magazine bands are also lightly engraved in geometric patterns. Accompanied by a fine, orig Abercrombie & Fitch tan leather, burgundy lined trunk case, compartmented in the bottom for the stocked portion of the receiver and for the receiver & bbl. Another compartment contains an orig square nickeled brass Abercrombie & Fitch oil bottle. Left front compartment contains a tube of Remington gun grease, a tube of Remington rust remover and two boxes of period Peters High Velocity 22 Long Rifle Cartridges, one hollow point and the other solid point with nickeled cases. This is one of the more spectacular Remington rifles to come to market in many years. CONDITION: Extremely fine, all matching. Metal retains about 98-99% strong orig blue with a couple of minor nicks on the bbl, slight sharp edge wear around the muzzle and light wear on slide bar; receiver & trigger guard retain virtually all of their orig blue, showing no wear on the gold; the fox head on top has a couple of scratches. Wood is sound with a few minor nicks & scratches in the finish and retains virtually all of its orig factory varnish; checkering has some minor areas of hand oil staining and shows light diamond point wear with fine wood grain showing through; buttplate retains about 98% orig blue. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. Case is very fine with some light foxing on top of the lid and a few light scratches, missing its straps. Handle is intact with verdigris around the brass D-rings; interior is bright & clean with a few minor spots of damage from sharp corners; accessories are fine. 4-56159 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 2543
