Description:
VERY EARLY AND RARE No. 1 HUNTERS RIFLE IN .44 EXTRA LONG CENTER FIRE & RIM FIRE (reversible firing pin), ONLY 300-500 MADE 1876-1880, this is an exceedingly rare J. M. Ballard marked single shot, serial number 4XX, an honest example with 26" medium tapered round barrel with buckhorn rear sight (needs elevator bar only) and blade/ivory bead front sight, tight action, fine markings, matching number on barrel and receiver, deep aged blue/brown patina overall, fine wood shows normal handling and hunting wear but is sound, needs the little "pin" that goes in the lower tang that "locks" or catches in the corresponding hole in the bottom of the loop part of the lever (minor), usual single short hairline crack coming back from the receiver on the left side that goes nowhere (almost all Ballards have this), forearm shows a little saddle wear on the bottom just ahead of the receiver and on the sides, fine bore should scrub out even better, one of the earliest Ballard Models in very respectable condition
