Winchester Pre ‘64 Model 70 Super Grade Bolt Action Rifle

Winchester Pre ‘64 Model 70 Super Grade Bolt Action Rifle

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 752)      

Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 4,000
serial #116159, 30-06, 24'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This lovely rifle appears as though it was purchased and perhaps hunted once or twice and then put away. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% original blue, the loss due to some very light fading, a bit of high edge wear and some drifting on the bolt knob. The bolt body remains bright and is electric pencil-numbered to the gun on its underside. The Super Grade checkered pistolgrip American walnut stock rates very fine to perhaps near excellent with all its original varnish and only sparsely scattered very light handling marks here and there, again from careful use afield. The hard rubber gripcap is excellent, ebony tip is intact and even the buttplate shows only a slight amount of wear at the heel and along the sharp edges. The rifle retains its original front sight and hood, the rear sight slot has been blanked and mounted to the factory holes are Bausch & Lomb scope bases which support a Balvar telescopic sight with post and crosshair reticle and very fine to excellent optics; it appears to be perhaps a 4X power. The original Super Grade swivels are included. A very handsome, very well-cared for vintage hunting outfit, clearly purchased and used a few times but then put away. (3B10159-4) {C&R} (2500/4000)

Handsome AH Fox A Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Handsome AH Fox A Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 752)      

Low Estimate: 3,500High Estimate: 5,000
serial #202953, 20 ga. (2 1/2''), 26'' chromox fluid steel barrels choked improved cylinder and modified with bright excellent bores. This is a superb small bore A-Grade shotgun with condition galore. The barrels retain an even 98% original blue, the loss due just to light fading and a bit of muzzle wear. The A-Grade engraved frame retains about 98% original color case-hardening which is vibrant throughout showing just a bit of fading at left side of the belly with very little evident wear on the standing breech. The screws are all properly registered and the arm does not appear as though it has ever been touched by a screwdriver. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates excellent with a sparsely scattered minor handling mark here or there, much original varnish, some very slight darkening at the head of the stock and a tiny chip at the rear of the upper tang which wouldn't warrant mention were it not for the very fine condition of the gun. The splinter style forend is similar with only one mentionable ding on the left side rear and excellent color case-hardening on the metal hardware. The length of pull to the original grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/8'' with drops of 1 7/8'' and 3 3/8''. As-expected the arm locks up Fox-tight with the top lever still well right of center and the barrels tight on-face. Features double trigger, extractors, automatic safety and the gun seems to function properly mechanically. A very lovely small bore A-Grade overall from-which it would be difficult to upgrade. It would certainly be a very welcomed addition to the discerning sportsman's battery and would be a head-turner afield. (3D10122-1) {C&R} (3500/5000)

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #1416, .44 cal, 8'' octagon barrel with a partially bright good bore showing some scattered areas of moderate oxidation and pitting with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver have mostly toned to a mix of gunmetal gray and gray-brown patina showing scattered partially smoothed-over old pitting and some dings or tool marks mostly along the forward edges of the frame. The hammer is a uniform pale gray patina and may be an old replacement and the triggerguard has taken on a greenish ocher patina showing some light dings. The barrel address has softened slightly from the years and remains partially legible while the Beals patent date is very strong and the major components show visible ''HH'' sub-inspector stamps. The cylinder is properly without safety notches and the front sight appears to be an old period replacement and is vaguely cone-shaped ocher brass. The smooth walnut grips remain in very good plus condition showing worn finish, a few light dings and handling marks. They appear to be un-numbered and fit the frame very well and both retain evident, if rather faint, inspector cartouches. All of the remaining serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. Only about 750 of these revolvers were accepted by U.S. Ordnance and most did not survive the war due to their early use. (13B10124-6) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)

The barrel of this revolver retains generous streaks of original bright blue throughout, retaining perhaps 20-25%, with the balance thinning and toning to a pleasant mild gray-brown patina. The remaining metal surfaces are a similar mix of dark gray and gray-brown patina showing some sparsely scattered light dings and pinprick pitting along the frame and cylinder. The bottom strap of the frame shows a neatly executed weld repair, as do the forward sections of the cylinder, which show a mottled brown and plum patina when viewed under bright light along with a couple of evident pits. This repair work was well-executed and is mostly unobtrusive and the markings remain intact and mostly strong showing patent dates along the topstrap and sub-inspector stamps on the various components. The smooth walnut grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in very fine condition showing remnants of oil finish with some scattered light dings and handling marks and the left panel retaining a very good inspector cartouche. The serialized parts are matching, one of the nipples is broken and the cylinder will counter-rotate but the action otherwise seems to function normally. A very good example of these interesting, if rather complicated, double action ''hammerless'' Civil War revolvers.

The grip is stamp-numbered ''1209'' and the remaining serialized parts are matching. The action is a little stiff on one or two chambers but generally seems to function well mechanically. A very good example of the desirable Starr Navy Model, made in much fewer numbers than the Army. (13B10124-8) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #17503, .36 cal, 7 3/4'' octagon barrel with a bright very good plus to near excellent bore showing a little scattered oxidation and crisp rifling throughout. The barrel of this attractive revolver retains about 85-90% original bright blue showing edge wear and flaking to gray-brown patina.

Cased Savage Model 1899 250-3000 Takedown Rifle with Shotgun Barrel

Cased Savage Model 1899 250-3000 Takedown Rifle with Shotgun Barrel

Lot # 25 (Sale Order: 25 of 752)      

Low Estimate: 1,800High Estimate: 2,200
serial #246043, 250-3000 & 410 bore, 22'' tapered round rifle barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of minor frosting near the muzzle and strong rifling throughout and 22'' round shotgun barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore showing a few minor freckles. This rifle may have been factory-refurbished or reworked as it is slightly outside of the normal range for 250-3000 rifles and shows a later style buttstock and grooved trigger. The rifle barrel retains about 90% original blue showing some scattered very light oxidation staining and mild handling marks with the blue taking on a dark plum patina under bright light. The shotgun barrel retains about 95% original blue showing a few very small areas of light pitting. The action retains about 80-85% factory rust blue showing some overall thinning to pewter gunmetal along with a couple small dings and areas of light pitting on the sides. The lever retains strong case-hardened colors throughout with some areas muting slightly and the bolt remains mostly bright. All markings remain intact and strong and the left side action and barrel show ''SAP'' Savage proof stamp. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and schnabel forend remain in very fine condition showing a very neat 1 5/8'' patched repair at the right edge forend, a few very thin slivers near the upper tang and some scattered light handling marks. The checkering shows some light wear and the buttstock and buttplate are matching; the forend is numbered ''246048'', likely a factory error but is the correct length for a 250-3000. The rifle is sighted with proper German silver bead front sight on integral ramp, a flattop sporting rear and Lyman tang sight with wide aperture disc. The action seems to function well mechanically and the shotgun barrel will require a little additional fitting to get the forend to seat fully. The vintage W. W. Winship black case remains in very good plus condition showing some scattered scuffs and handling marks along the exterior. The interior is lined with deep purple baize that shows some mild staining and scuffs. A fine two-barrel set for the Savage collector.
