Extremely Rare Robinson Single-Shot Rifle by Adirondack Firearms Co. Serial No. 3
Description:
Serial #3, .44 RF, 24 1/2" octagon barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is the first production single-shot rifle built on Orville Robinson’s patent granted on April 23, 1872. The rifle has a solid brass frame marked with a small "3" serial number on the top of the receiver just ahead of the ejection port, on the top facet of the barrel where it meets the frame, and on the underside of the rear toggle link. The action utilizes a manually-operated toggle lock that rides in a mortise along the top of the receiver just like the more common repeating Robinson action. The brass frame has an overall dull yellow-ochre patina with a few very minor impact marks on the forward portion of the left side around the barrel pin, and a slightly darker patina on an oblong panel on the right side just aft of the barrel pin head. The toggle link retains much of the original color case-hardening, with a commensurate amount of original fire blue remaining on the bolt. The barrel retains 60-70% of the original blue finish, with silvering around the brightly polished muzzle, and along the edges of the barrel facets. A late 19th or early 20th century sporting bead front sight is mated to a similar vintage rear sight on the barrel. The plain walnut forend and buttstock are in very good-near fine shape, with only minor handling marks and small blemishes scattered throughout the original varnish. This is a very rare rifle and is in fine condition overall. Antique; Orville Moses Robinson was an upstate New York gunsmith and inventor who received three US patents for breech-loading and repeating firearms. In 1870 Robinson, in partnership with A.S. Babbitt and two others, formed the Adirondack Firearms Co. to manufacture rifles based on his patents at their manufactory in Plattsburgh, NY. The firm is known to have employed Daniel Wilkinson (possibly J.D. Wilkinson, another upstate New York gunmaker and inventor)) and Robinson’s son, William (who would’ve been about 10 years old at the formation of the company!) Adirondack Firearms Co. operated until 1874, ultimately producing what is thought to be slightly fewer than 1,000 rifles of all types, when it was purchased by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. and permanently shut down. The Adirondack Firearms Co., and Robinson’s repeating rifle designs, represent an interesting footnote in the then rapidly advancing field of repeating breechloading long guns. ;
