German Weatherby Crown Custom MKV 460, Beautiful Mesquite Stock, Elephant Ivory Inlay, Elephant Sling, Period Weaver Scope, Left Hand
Description: Magnificent Crown Custom Mesquite Stocked 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 are excellent with a couple very minor blemishes. The 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 a period Steel Weaver Scope with covers and the original open sporting sights. These early Crown Customs withstand the test of time and remain Weatherby’s most attractive and sought-after offering.
