Colt Burgess .44-40 Win SN: 1913
period New York scroll engraved. Good to very good overall condition showing a blue to brown patina with good markings and good bore. The engraving is absolutely authentic to the period and may be the shop of L.D. Nimschke who worked through the New York distributions like Schuyler, Hartley and Graham. The butt stock is an excellent restoration and the original is included also. From a major Montana collector who looked 50 years to find one and experts estimate less than a dozen authentic engraved Burgess Rifles are extant.
