FRANK WESSON OVER/UNDER RIFLE/BUCK AND BALL COMBINATION GUN. Cal. 48 over shotgun. 33″ rnd bbls. This is a very heavy combination gun, marked on the bbls “F Wesson Maker Worchester Mass”. Frank Wesson worked in Worcester from 1854 to 1878. He was a very prolific maker holding many U.S. patterns. The back action locks are engraved and in very nice shape. Gun is iron mounted with an iron engraved triggerguard and capbox. The iron buttplate and bbl tang are also nicely engraved. The bbls are bright and clean. This obviously would be a good shooter and has been used recently for that purpose. There is a large silver oval inlay on the cheek side of the butt. CONDITION: Stock is in very nice condition with minor bruises. Metal is in very good condition showing normal pitting on the bbls and the sights on the top bbl are missing. 2 holes drilled into the bbl tang where apparently a tube or telescopic sight had once been mounted. Ramrods are replacements. 4-59609 RG33 (1,000-1,500)
