Description:
This isn't just any 1894! A special order gun with half round half oct bbl, button mag and checkered pistol grip deluxe. Cal 30 WCF. A very fine condition gun with nearly all blue remaining on both frame and bbl. The only wear is near the serial number at the carry point. Blue has flaked on the upper tang. The wood is also exceptional. As stated, this is a deluxe and has beautiful deluxe wood. Equipped with rifle style butt. Wood is nice fitting with orig varnish. Now more about Sheriff Hodge. Engraved on the left side of the gun is " Sheriff Bob Hodge Seattle 1910". A little research on Sheriff Hodge shows that he was quite a controversial figure in early politics in the Seattle area. He had aspirations to be a politician and made a lot of enemies. He was a very colorful figure who was arrested once and released almost immediately. He sought re-election and won. The people loved him but opposing politicians didn't. This gun is a wonderful condition gun that would add to any collection and has an interesting history.
