Thomas Shelhamer was a famous stock maker during the time when Griffin & Howe, Neidner and other gunmakers topped the gunmaking world. His stocks can be found on the finest rifles of the Pre/Post World War II era. This Stevens in .32-40 has a medium weight 26" round barrel with concave target crown. It is fitted with scope blocks and mounted with a 6X Unertl scope with cross hair reticle, fine optics and steel protective end caps. There is a third block installed toward the muzzle. The barrel is unmarked and shows all the deep blue. The receiver is blued with case colored lever. Action is tight and the bore is perfect. In the wood under the finely checkered steel butt plate is stamped "T. SHELHAMER" over "1247." The stock work is simply incredible on this one. The fancy grained walnut is a dark blonde color with fine, sharp checkering on the pistol grip. The raised cheek piece is accented with a shadow line and there are half-moon panels behind the receiver on each side. There is also an unusual and most attractive raised "double accent" around the back of the pistol grip. Similarly, the forend swells gracefully from the receiver and is finely checkered in a full pattern that completely wraps around the entire mid-section with flawless execution. The forend tip is a traditional schnable. It is fitted with quick detachable swivel studs. In all, a spectacular rifle by a famed stockmaker.
