*EXTREMELY RARE ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1910 SEMI-AUTO RIFLE.

*EXTREMELY RARE ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1910 SEMI-AUTO RIFLE. Cal. 401SL. SN 17388. A very spectacular and elaborate presentation rifle with 20” rnd bbl, pedestal front sight and 4-leaf express sight. It has highly figured center crotch cut walnut wood with semi-beavertail forearm and capped pistol grip stock with Winchester embossed hard rubber buttplate. The forearm and wrist are elaborately carved in modified “B” style with more extensive coverage. The left side of the buttstock has a 2” oval presentation plate inscribed “PRESENTED TO / RUSSELL F. SIMPSON / BY / HIS ASSOCIATES / IN THE / WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. / SEPTEMBER 1927” The receiver is equally elaborately engraved in a style that appears to be by William H. Gough or Angelo J. Stokes, consisting of a large vignette on the left side of a bull elk and two cow elk with a beautifully detailed tree. The right side has a smaller vignette of a Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep on a mountain precipice and a still smaller vignette of a mountain goat. The top of the receiver has a vignette of a crouching cougar on a rock with a tree in the background, all of which are surrounded by very fine arabesque and ribbon patterns. The engraving extends about 2” up the bbl and on the bbl band. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Metal retains most of its fine original factory finish with moderate wear on the bbl band and one blade of the express sight. There is slight thinning on the lower front of the receiver and a small ding on the top rear of the receiver. Stock has a hairline in the left side of the wrist, otherwise the wood is sound and retains virtually all of its fine original factory finish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-52458 JR248 (10,000-20,000)
