HOPKINS AND ALLEN FANCY "NEW MODEL SCHUETZEN TARGET RIFLE" IN CORRECT .25-20 SS CALIBER, #03XX

Description:
FIRST OF THESE I'VE EVER SEEN! HOPKINS AND ALLEN FANCY "NEW MODEL SCHUETZEN TARGET RIFLE" IN CORRECT .25-20 SS CALIBER, #03XX. Aside from the H&A Boys Rifles which were made is fairly large numbers, there is very little written about the more serious Hopkins and Allen rifles in center fire calibers. As this rifle is marked Hopkins and Allen Arms Co., Norwich, Conn, USA" it would date from some time after 1896. In the first volume of Single Shot Rifles by James Grant is a photo of a catalog page showing this model. It is described in the H& catalog as having a lever action dropping block with 26" octagon barrel, bead front sight with Rocky Mountain step rear sight (buckhorn), Schuetzen nickel butt plate, "handsomely checkered" etc. and offered in 22 caliber or 25-20 caliber. The rifle, identical to this example, is pictured in the ad. This example has better than standard grade semi-fancy walnut in the butt stock and forend,. The Swiss/Schuetzen butt plate retains most of the nickel plating. the checkering pattern on the butt stock at the wrist has an interesting ribbon pattern with full wrap around checkering on the schnable forend. The receiver shows fairly vivid case colors overall with some brown mixing and fading on the upper tang and receiver ring. The barrel blue is good and shows some mixture with plum/brown from age. Sharp markings and generally excellent bore throughout. The checkering on the forend and butt stock is sharp. Excellent stock and forend with one small chip from the top rear of the right side of the forend. Grant states in his book that this takedown Hopkins & Allen rifle "...was a light Schuetzen rifle, more on the order of a 'Ladies' model." Needs only an easy-to-find buckhorn rear sight. I don't expect to ever seen another of these!
