Description:
WESTERN SHIPPED 1894 TAKEDOWN .38-55 OCTAGON RIFLE, #235XXX, MADE 1904. The left side of the receiver is stamped in small letters "FROM W. F. SHEARD" over "TACOMA, WASH." Sheard was a gunsmith originally located in Livingston, Montana. In the early 1900s he moved to Tacoma, Washington where he ran a large outfitting/gun store. He was also a dealer in hides/furs during the time when the sea otter pelts were at a premium. The receier shows some good blue on the right side around the middle as well as good blue in all the protected areas. Exc. markings. The barrel and mag tube show fine blue with only normal light edge wear. Exc. screw heads, tight action and strong safety half-cock. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and Winchester blade front sight. The walnut stock and forearm are of a little higher grade than standard which was typical for special order rifles or takedowns and show onlly very light normal handling with tight wood to metal fit and one small sling swivel hole in the bottom of the stock. . Bore is only a little dark with strong rifling and any minor scattered corrosion very surface. A hard to find caliber/takedown combination with very interesting history.
