Jeffery came over yesterday for a gunshow and brought a few real beauties. His 1875 stub twist lifter is incredible and must have spent most of it's life in a dark closet. Lots of color and gorgeous barrels with lots of contrast and nice shiny bores that have at most been very lightly polished. The bbls do not look like they have been refinished; the roll stamping is as sharp as new. No wood issues. It's hard to imagine a gun being that nice at that age. The flats and breech faces indicate very little use for a gun that old. He also brought a stunning grade 1 fish tail TL laminated hammer gun that have a Breck G refinish on the bbls. Absolutely gorgeous barrel pattern. It was a real treat to see these two guns. He also brought along a vintage 1890's? Remington S/S with stunning blondish English walnut stocks that seriously looks almost unfired and is so tight at every level that it is nowhere near even partially "broken in" yet. The checkering is even still sharp as new. What a beauty.
