*RARE ENGRAVED & CASED BROWNING TROMBONE PUMP ACTION RIFLE, ONE OF 60 PRODUCED FOR THE BROWNING COLLECTORS’ ASSOCIATION.

SN 166PW01050. Cal. 22. Wonderful little rifle with 22″ rnd bbl, 2/3 magazine and orig sights. Receiver is coin finished with grooved top. Mounted with very highly figured, flame grain European walnut with fine hand rubbed oil finish. Forearm is ribbed bullet shape with checkered rnd knob stock that has smooth steel buttplate. Receiver is beautifully engraved and signed “J. BAERTEN”. Receiver is engraved with the large vignette of a fox carrying a pheasant in a forest scene on the left side and a bird dog on point in a field scene on right side. Both vignettes are surrounded by fine intertwined foliate arabesque patterns with fine shaded background. Top edges of receiver and stock portion of receiver are engraved to match as are the trigger guard and floor plate. Floor plate has a small oval engraved “50 / 60”. Takedown screw head is engraved to match. Accompanied by its orig burgundy canvas & leather, ultra-suede lined trunk case and its orig cardboard shipping box that, unfortunately, has been cut into two pieces. End label with matching SN is intact. Obviously only 60 of these rifles were produced which were all purchased by Browning collectors when they were first offered and are almost never offered on the open market. CONDITION: New & unfired. Bbl & magazine tube retain all of their brilliant orig blue; receiver, trigger guard & slide bar retain all of their bright coin finish and buttplate all of its satin blue finish. Wood is sound with no visible flaws and retains about all of its orig hand rubbed oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Trunk case is equally new. Box, as noted, was cut into two pieces and has old tape repairs. End label is intact. 4-56147 (3,250-5,250) – Lot 2636
