Description:
COLT BURGRESS LEVER 44 WCF 26" BARREL CIRCA 1883
The Colt Burgess rifles and carbines were only available from 1883 to around 1885, and only 6,403 were manufactured. This design by Burgess was one of the highest quality competitors to the Winchester Model 1873 on the American frontier and was arguably more advanced. There are rumors that a backroom deal was reached between Winchester and Colt that the other would not encroach on the other's "turf", leading to Colt halting production of these guns. This example has standard markings and is fitted with a dovetailed German silver blade front and adjustable notch rear sights and mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.
Very good, with traces of original blue finish in sheltered areas, with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina speckled with some patches of brown and a few scattered patches of very light pitting/rough oxidation, typical of a rifle that spent years on the frontier. Sling swivel holes in the forend cap and stock have been filled. The sanded wood is good, with two noticeable triangular splices at the front of the forearm, a couple of hairline cracks, and otherwise generally mild handling evidence, all signs of a heavily used rifle that was well-maintained. Mechanically fine.
