Description:
Very likely a one-of-a-kind gun. I first saw this gun 40 some years ago at the Ohio Gun Collectors Show. It is the only one I have ever seen or heard of. Standard configuration. Full round bbl and full mag tube. But it has a gold gilded forend cap, receiver and buttplate. The Factory Letter verifies features. Gun has an antique serial number and is in excellent+ condition with about all vivid case colors on hammer and lever. Original sights include folding tang sight. Receiver has 97-98% heavy gold gilt finish still remaining as well as the buttplate and forend cap. Round bbl and full mag tube has 95% blue. Original plain Walnut stock is nicely figured with almost all original varnish remaining. Overall gun is guaranteed original and untouched. Very unusual to see a standard configuration with gold gilded frame.
