Description:
FACTORY ENGRAVED Antique COLT M1883 Hammerless 12 g. Double Barrel SHOTGUN
SCARCE Shotgun Made in 1891
Here we present an antique Factory Engraved Colt Model 1883 Hammerless Double Barrel Shotgun, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1891. The Model 1883 was made from 1883 to 1895, with approximately 7,360 manufactured. These double barrel shotguns were often custom made to order and fitted with Damascus barrels from 28 to 32 inches in length.
According to early sources, “The Hammerless Model 1883 ranks among the best grade doubles produced in the entire American arms trade. The limited number completed, and the great pains devoted to handling specific orders from often fussy shooters means that a considerable degree of quality and variety is evident in the Model 1883 series.” This shotgun was considered one of the finest guns money could buy in its day, and this one features a checkered stock and nice engraving.
The barrel address is “COLT’S PT F A MFG CO HARTFORD CT USA”. The underside of the frame is marked “PATENTED/AUG.22 SEPT.19 1882”.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bores are bright and smooth. This example sports a solid stock with less than average handling wear. Markings are legible. Numbers match. The frame is lightly engraved.
