Exceptional Colt Model 1883 Deluxe Hammerless Double Barrel 10 Gauge Shotgun

Manufactured in 1886. Single white bead sight on the smooth concave solid rib with a dolls head extension marked with the one-line address near the breech. Scallop border engraved frame with the patent dates marked on the bottom. Tang mounted automatic safety, brown Damascus barrels, blue break lever and trigger guard and casehardened frame. 3 inch chambers, extractor and mounted with a multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm with ebony forend insert and round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered horn Colt buttplate and silver initial oval. The Model 1883 shotgun is considered one of the finest of all the American produced shotguns. Length of pull is 14 inches.

ConditionExtremely fine. The barrels show almost all of the brown damascus pattern with a few small areas of minor spotting. The trigger guard retains 70% original bright thinning blue finish with some fading to a smooth gray. The action retains 80% original bright case colors with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The wood is very fine with some minor dents, scratches and dings. There are a few minor bruises in the otherwise crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
