CUSTOM HIGH-GRADE UNDERLEVER SHOTGUN
EXTENSIVE GOLD INLAY • HORN FURNITURE •
SERIAL 4733
12 GAUGE (COLLATH PROPRIETARY) • C. 1878-1886
A rare and exceptional early W. Collath underlever shotgun, serial number 4733, built during the 1878-1886 period when Collath produced some of his finest bespoke sporting arms. This example is a custom-ordered, high-grade gun featuring extensive gold inlay, horn furniture, and the classic Collath underlever action. Guns of this configuration are seldom encountered and represent the upper tier of Collath's craftsmanship.
FEATURES & CONFIGURATION
ABOUT THE MAKER
Wilhelm Collath of Frankfurt/Oder was one of Germany's most innovative and artistic gunmakers of the late 19th century. Known for his proprietary ammunition systems, elegant underlever actions, and custom-ordered sporting guns, Collath produced firearms in small numbers for wealthy clients across Europe. High-grade Collath guns with extensive gold inlay and horn furniture are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
CONDITION
This shotgun remains in excellent antique condition, showing careful use and preservation.
The gold inlay is intact and bright, horn components are solid and well-fitted, and the Damascus barrels retain their original subtle finish. The action is tight, bores are clean, and all mechanical functions operate properly. A standout example of early German craftsmanship.
NOTES
As with all early Collath shotguns, this firearm uses a non-standard proprietary chambering and is not compatible with modern 12-gauge ammunition. A chamber cast is recommended for anyone intending to load custom black-powder cartridges.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
A rare, investment-grade W. Collath underlever shotgun with extensive gold inlay and horn furniture — features found only on Collath's highest-level custom commissions. This is an exceptional opportunity for collectors of German sporting arms, early underlever designs, or high-grade 19th-century European doubles.
