(ELM-M5-511a) BEAUTIFUL, HAND CRAFTED DAMASCUS SKINNING KNIFE

Beautiful damascus pattern on the 3-1/2" drop point blade. Very sturdy knife with a thick blade which measures about 1", the handle is of the form fitting type with a pointed end. New cond, has never been sharpened other than by the orig knife maker. The initials 'RLB' and '92' are inscribed on the blade which would be the knife maker and the year, I assume. Knife comes inside a very heavy duty, hand made sheath. This is an exceptional quality, beautiful knife. e

(EL-MR513) ENGRAVED STEVENS DELUXE RIFLE WITH THE 44-1/2 ACTION

Caliber marking is 32-35 Caliber. A very neat, strange configuration gun with a half round, half octagon 26" bbl. What is somewhat strange about the bbl is that it appears like the front half has been slightly turned down for target use and there is a 'Boss' where the front sight dovetail is. Also, it appears like the front half was nickel plated-factory done or done otherwise is unknown; makes for a very neat rifle. Quite a few case colors still remain on the frame-the rest are turning to an antique brownish gray. Checkering is fine line and superb. Equipped with cheekpiece and Swiss buttplate, flipping globe type front sight, Lyman tang rear sight with large eyepiece and a small flip-up Lyman rear bbl sight; bright shiny bore in VG cond. Very interesting Stevens rifle. e

Orig semi-deluxe, uncheckered wood is in near exc cond with a few light handling mars and dings but retains most the varnish; rifle style buttplate. Exc throughout. Stated under 'REMARKS' in the Factory records is: 1", which would have to be the fact that the forearm is an inch shorter than standard for a 24" bbl. This forearm would have normally been at about a 20" gun; I think it was ordered that way to accomodate a certain number of shells. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that it's 100% orig.

(EL-C1137) COLT LIGHTNING SADDLERING CARBINE IN THE DESIRABLE 44 CALIBER

The entire gun is a gray patina, possibly cleaned in spots but does have nice bbl markings, scattered pitting throughout-mostly on the bbl and mag tube. Appears to be a replacement buttstock that fits so-so, forearm wood is well worn but all there, bore isn't too bad; it's bright and shiny with decent riflings, some light roughness and very light pitting. It may even clean up to look better than it does. This old Colt has been there and done that! e
