460 Weatherby Magnum, Crown Custom, Left Hand, 26” barrel with Pendleton Brake, Mesquite Stock, Elephant Sling

Description:
serial #P19615, 460 Weatherby Magnum, Left Hand,  26” barrel with Pendleton brake and an excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain 99% original blue with some faint freckles mostly-found near the muzzle and on the brass bead front sight with the receiver and the numbers-matching bolt toning to a brownish-plum hue.

The surfaces are wonderfully-engraved in a flowing scroll and punch-dot-shading motif with about 50% coverage on the barrel and receiver, full coverage on all three sides of the bolt shroud and a small wedge on the two-panel-checkered bolt handle. The floorplate completes the metal accents with an excellent engraved-in-relief gold elephant with continent of Africa background and more flowing scroll, the bolt body and follower remain bright with a tight damascened pattern. The skip-line checkered mesquite Monte Carlo stock with rosewood grip cap and forend tip, right-side cheekpiece and pattern #8 ebony and rosewood inlays is excellent with a couple very minor blemishes.

The original purchaser of this rifle spared no expense, there is an unembellished gold monogram plate in the center of bottom forend inlay and a pattern #33 elephant inlay with genuine ivory tusks was placed in the left-side butt. This handsome 1966 West German rifle is equipped with open sporting sights, vintage Weaver Scope and Elephant Sling. These early Crown Customs withstand the test of time and remain Weatherby’s most attractive and sought-after offering.
