Description:
SOLD----For the Serious Browning .22 Take Down Collector. Here you have a 97%+ First day of Production Wheel Sight .22lr with the Super Rare Rose Style Border Engraving-as seen on the Superposed shotguns. I've been collecting these Browning 22 wheel sight rifles for over 25 years. In all this time I've only seen 4 with this rose style edge engraving. Not the typical zig-zag style. Also look at the Flat Rivit on the wheelsight dovetail rear sight. This indicative of a low number of 1st year rifles. Also take a look at the adjusting ring, notice the barrel lock tooth cut, also relating to the first year early rifles. This was a carry over from the FN 22 rifles, till they ran out and changed to the ring with a wider cut as seen on most of the wheel sight rifles and the early flip sight rifles. See last pic for comparing the adjusting wheel and tooth cut for the very ealry 1956 rifles with the one used after. Also see the front sight rivit comparrison.
This Rifle is all Factory Original !! Not restored or messed with. Still retains it's Factory Original Open Pore Wood Finish with very nice wood grain showing fiddleback. Bore is EXCELLENT !! Engraving is EXCELLENT !! Bluing is also EXCELLANT !! A true survivor rifle from the first day of production.
Wood has a very few small marks, also Excellent for it's age !! I don't believe this rifle has been shot since it left the factory, if it has..it could only have been less then a 50 round box of ammo. Browning Hartmann Case is nice, with 2 keys and Browning Warranty Card.. Hard to find and Rare Factory Original Manual is included.
Price includes shipping and insurance. Payment within 5 business days.Certified Check or Bank Check-- $4500.00
