Attractive Husqvarna Double Hammer Shotgun
serial #21089, 12 ga (2 1/2''), 29 3/4'' damascus barrels choked modified and full with mostly bright very good bores showing some scattered areas of light pitting. The handsome shotgun was made somewhere between 1890-1897, likely around 1892, and the barrels retain generous plum-brown finish throughout with areas toning to pewter gunmetal patina mostly along the sides nearer the breeches also showing some scattered light handling marks and small spots of old oxidation. The barrels show lovely swirling damascus patterns throughout and the solid matted rib is maker-marked by Husqvarna. The action and back action lockplates retain about 50-60% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors with the balance toning to a pleasant silvery and smoky patina. The triggerguard has mostly toned to silvery case-hardened patina and the top lever retains about 80% original bright blue. The action and lockplates are tastefully embellished with fine quality detailed foliate scrollwork throughout. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition as lightly and carefully cleaned showing a nice oil finish with a few lightly chipped points and minor dings. The sides of the buttstock show some rather nice grain figure and length-of-pull to the black checkered hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/8''. The shotgun is equipped with sling swivels and brass bead front sight and barrel lock-up is by dual under-bites exhibiting a hint of side-to-side play that is relatively minor, the top lever resting about center and the barrels otherwise on-face. The locks with rebounding hammers seem to function well mechanically. This is a very attractive and well above-average example of these quality Swedish doubles. (13B11604-7) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
