FACTORY ENGRAVED Antique COLT Model 1883 Hammerless Double Barrel SHOTGUN
12 Gauge Made in 1892
Here we present an antique Factory Engraved Colt Model 1883 Hammerless Double Barrel Shotgun, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1892. The Model 1883 was made from 1883 to 1895, with approximately 7,360 manufactured. These double barrel shotguns were often custom made to order and fitted with Damascus barrels from 28 to 32 inches in length.
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 overall condition is very good. Original Damascus pattern on the barrels with some case colors still visible on the frame. Actions are excellent. Bores are shiny bright and smooth. The stock is smooth and solid with nice grain. Numbers match throughout.
