UNIQUE AND FINELY MADE REPEATING PISTOL, BELGIAN.

SN NVN. Caliber 7.5mm. This small, very well made and attractive repeater , manufacturer unknown, has a 4” barrel with a drift adjustable bead front sight and a grooved rear sight that appears on the under surface of the dust cover. The design is quite interesting. When the dust cover is secured in place by its spring loaded plunger, it acts as a safety, with an internal stop that prevents the bolt from moving forward. Flipping open the cover exposes a groove on its inner surface-the rear sight. Pulling the trigger closes the bolt and, when fully closed, releases the firing pin. As the bolt is retracted, two spring loaded ejectors, that externally appear as the strawed bars on each side of the chamber, expel the cartridge from the chamber. The only marking is a series of Belgian proofs, faintly struck on the right side of the barrel. All major components are rust blued, the ejectors and trigger are strawed, the bolt is in-the-white and the sideplate and grip screws are fire blued. Grip panels are smooth walnut. PROVENANCE: Ex-Visser Collection. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: A nearly as-new restoration with perfectly sharp planes and correct contouring. The fire blue and straw is outstanding. The only suggestion of restoration is the very fine pitting on each side of the front sight and some minor disturbances on the barrel whose proofs are partially effaced. Grips have been restored with the same care, the left panel having a small chip just behind the trigger guard. Bright bore with strong rifling and only mild erosion. Perfect mechanics. A beautiful, early repeater that appears nearly new. 4-52445 LMA12 (2,500-4,000) – Lot 3024

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
