Description:
Hoffman Arms .410. Made in Cleveland circa 1922 and wearing gun number 201, serial 97998 (3x matching) was originally purchased by William A. Comstock (Governor of Michigan, 1933-1935) and has since remained in his family. Features include 28-inch barrels (F/F, single bead, hand-stippled rib, 3-inch chambers, ejectors), automatic safety, mechanical triggers (checkered faces) and timed screws. Wrap checkering is 26 lines-per-inch with interupted Mullered borders and appointments include drop points, a steel grip cap and a partially-checkered butt. ENGRAVING: Predictably well executed but unattributed, the action is dressed with intricate bordered scroll surrounding the maker's banner to approximately 70 percent coverage. The pattern continues over the lever/guard/tangs, blends over the chambers and reappears on the grip cap. DIMENSIONS: Weight is 5.6 pounds. Length-of-pull is 14.1 inches, drops are 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and cast off is approximately .50-inch. CONDITION: The bores are strong and bright, barrels full on face, ejectors snappy and mechanics solid. Barrel finish is approximately 50 percent with general thinning and browning. Colors are approximately 15 percent with general thinning as well as tarnish (over the guard). Wood is solid with finish of approximately 70 percent. PROVENANCE: The Comstock family will provide a personalized letter attesting to ownership history. The price is firm and layaway is available. Trades for fine sporting rifles (particularly customs, rimfires and dangerous game calibers) and handguns will be respectfully considered. $12,500 plus shipping.
