serial #166026, 22 Remington Special (22 WRF), 24'' octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing evident rifling. This is a scarce little Model 12 made in 1912 featuring D-Grade (also known as No. 3 or Peerless Grade) embellishments. The embellishments are a bit lighter on these smaller framed guns featuring nice quality flowing foliate scrollwork, light bordering and endearing little game scenes of a squirrel on a branch right and pair of rabbits left. The barrel and magazine tube retain perhaps 50% original blue drifting and blending with a pleasant medium gray patina, light handling marks and sparse oxidation staining. The action has mostly toned to a deep gray patina showing a little mild oxidation speckling and streaks of original blue in the protected areas. The embellishments remain mostly strong with some areas of mild softening and the checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and grooved forend remain in very good condition showing some older added varnish with some overall light abrasions and handling marks. The original hard rubber pistolgrip cap shows one small shallow chip and the original steel crescent buttplate is intact. The rifle is sighted with a Marble's tang peep sight, simple sporting rear with modified wide v-notch and a Marble's No. 5 ivory bead, the insert missing its left half. The action seems to function well mechanically. A very good example of a smallbore model not often seen engraved. (13C11696-11) {C&R} (2000/4000)
