Baltimore Arms "A" grade (SN3426) 12 gauge with Twist barrels cut to 24". Over all this gun is in very fine original condition with beautiful 98% case colors and very good Twist barrel pattern. Bores are excellent. The stock retains 95% original varnish and checkering. These guns were well designed and made. Ansley Fox and Frank Hollenbeck both contributed to its design. However, only about 6000 were produced in the four years the company existed. A fine addition to your American doublegun collection. __ $500 (pics)
Lefever Arms Co., Syracuse, NY
(9074o) G grade. 12 ga. (SN 40240) with 30" Damascus bbls fair bores have modest pitting that will clean up - no dents. Top lever spring needs replacing. Very good original wood with excellent monogram butt plate and grip cap. Good checkering little dirty. No rust or pitting. Even brown barrel pattern. A good solid all original untouched gun in overall 60%. Would restore very nicely. $800 (pics)
REMINGTON ARMS, Illion, New York
Remington Model 1882 Grade 3 with original rifle barrel insert (as seen on page 97 in Semmer's book). Thirty inch Damascus barrels have good bores and very good Damascus finish. The right barrel is indexed for the rifle barrel which appears to be about a 45-90 cal. and has excellent bores. Locks are crisp but bolting is slightly loose. Action is a smooth patina with no rust. The replacement stock has the original steel butt plate, is solid without cracks or breaks but is ill configured. (SN14267) Remingtons with rifle barrels are extremely rare. __ $800 (pics)
