Look for the gold '55 Chevy road sign! ~Trades and offers are always considered~ Rare & Desirable High Condition Roper Repeating Rifle Co, Amherst Massachusetts, Four-Shot Revolving Shotgun, 16 Ga, mfg. 1867-1868. I'm excited to say this is the finest Roper we have ever offered. It is an early Amherst production gun (serial number 150) made before operations moved to Hartford and remains 100% original and untouched top to bottom. The 25 1/2" long barrel features a high bead front sight with threaded muzzle choke and retains 80% bright original bluing. The case colored frame has faded to a mottled silver/plum patina with sharp edges throughout. The stock is beautifully figured with a dark tiger stripe pattern and retains a smooth untouched finish throughout with no chips, cracks, or repairs whatsoever. Original buttplate, triggerguard, hammer, hinged loading gate, and pewter forend caps. The loading gate securely opens and snaps shut and is clearly marked with the maker's address. The action is strong and crisp and functions flawlessly. Good bore with clean surfaces and fine blackpowder frosting scattered throughout. Roper shotguns have have always been in great demand and have become increasingly difficult to find in any condition making a fine example such as this a very welcome addition to any collection. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only.
