Engraved Charles Lancaster .400 Black Powder Express Double Rifle with Case

Blue, dovetail lump barrels with beaded blade front and three-leaf (one standing, two folding) express notch rear sights, barrels marked "CHARLES LANCASTER. 151 NEW BOND St. LONDON./NON-FOULING SMOOTH OVAL BORE RIFLING", scope bases at the rear of the rib, and London black powder proofs and case and load nomenclature on the flats. Casehardened box lock receiver with self-opening action, doll's head extension third fastener, sculpted fences, full coverage English floral and scroll engraving, London "crown/V" proofs on the water table, double triggers, and sliding tang safety with toggle safety lock. Checkered straight grain walnut pistol grip stock and splinter forearm with engraved fittings, tear drop carved flats, raised cheekpiece, and checkered blue steel buttplate. With leather bound takedown case with red flannel interior. Stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/4 inches; drop at heel 2 1/4 inches; length of pull 15 inches.

ConditionVery good with 99% refinished blue on the barrels, some small handling marks, light oxidation on the right barrel, and some light pitting under the blue. The restored case colors are vibrant and the engraving well defined. The wood is fine with small nicks and dings throughout, freshened checkering, and some small chips around the buttplate. Mechanically excellent. Case is fair with heavy scuffs and scratches on the exterior, dents and patina on the metal fittings, age cracking on the straps, and re-lined interior.
