FACTORY ENGRAVED Antique COLT M1883 Hammerless 10 g. Double Barrel SHOTGUN
SCARCE LOW SERIAL NUMBER Shotgun Made in 1884
Here we present an antique Factory Engraved Colt Model 1883 Hammerless Double Barrel Shotgun, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1884. The Model 1883 was made from 1883 to 1895, with approximately 7,360 manufactured.
According to early sources, “The Hammerless Model 1883 ranks among the best grade doubles produced in the entire American arms trade. The limited number completed, and the great pains devoted to handling specific orders from often fussy shooters means that a considerable degree of quality and variety is evident in the Model 1883 series.” This shotgun was considered one of the finest guns money could buy in its day, and this one features a checkered stock and light engraving.
The barrel address is “COLT’S PT F A MFG CO HARTFORD CT USA”. The underside of the frame is marked “PATENTED/AUG.22 SEPT.19 1882”.
The overall condition is very good. Original Damascus pattern on the barrels. Silvered case colors on the frame. The actions are excellent. The bores are smooth and bright. Numbers match throughout. The fore stock has an old chip on the left side, the stock is otherwise solid. Low serial number: 629!
