Jonathan Browning Centennial Percussion Mountain Rifle
serial #1878A-0054, .50 cal, 31'' octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a little frosting in the grooves and otherwise crisp rifling. The metal surfaces retain about 96% original plum-brown finish showing a few small oxidation speckles along the barrel and upper tang. The gun features a ramshorn motif on the nipple bolster and silver profile of Jonathan Browning on the lockplate. The deluxe walnut stock remains in excellent condition showing a couple tiny handling marks and with wonderful grain figure throughout, the polished furniture with a little mild oxidation staining. The ''1878-1978'' centennial plaque is present on the right side of the butt and the original sights are intact. One of the barrel under-rib screws and the ramrod are missing and the lock seems to function well mechanically. The gun includes its original wooden display case with leather accents that rates very good plus showing some overall light scuffing and dings along the exterior and one corner starting to separate. The interior lining exhibits some fading and contains the original matching centennial powder horn with leather strap and rifle tool kit. Browning made 1000 of these special commemorative rifle sets.
