serial #1219, 22 RF, 2 5/8'' four-barrel cluster with bright near excellent bores showing a little mild frosting and strong rifling throughout. The barrels retain about 85% original bright blue showing some light flaking to gray-brown patina under bright light, a few freckles and light handling marks. The frame is a nice ocher patina showing a few old dings scattered about and retains strong maker and patent marks along the left side. The hammer shows a few old dings along its top surface, otherwise retaining good smoky case-hardening, and the remaining small parts with generous fire blue. The smooth walnut grips remain in near excellent condition, the barrels lock up well and the action seems to function well mechanically with properly rotating hammer nose. The original case remains in near excellent condition showing some scattered light dings and handling marks, the lid veneer with attractive burl figure throughout and un-engraved shield-shaped monogram plate. The interior is lined in blue baize that shows just a little mild wear and there is an information card about the card neatly taped to the inside lid. The case features compartment with sliding cover and contains a complement of period accessories including: ebony-handled turn screw, key, simple iron cleaning rod with horn handle and unmarked oil bottle. A fine ensemble and example of the smaller-framed Tipping & Lawden Sharps. (13B11134-10) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)
