*SCARCE KORNBRATH ENGRAVED REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK MODEL 1901 TARGET PISTOL. SN 4259. Cal. 22 LR. Spectacular Rudolph Kornbrath engraved target pistol with 10″ oct to rnd bbl, globe front sight and tiny adjustable rear sight in top of frame.

Mounted with outstanding 32-line checkered, highly figured American walnut with tiny schnable tip forearm and 1-pc grip that has a large oval pearl buttcap with relief carved bull moose head. Frame has full coverage, extremely fine foliate arabesque patterns with very fine stippled counterpoint areas and a pattern of oak leaves behind the hammer slot. Hammer & breech block pins are engraved with flower blossoms and the screw heads are engraved in foliate patterns.
