	*RARE DELUXE ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 33 WCF. SN 145592. Spectacular deluxe '86 with 24" tapered rnd bbl, half magazine with pedestal mounted, ivory bead hunting front sight and flat top rear sight. Bbl has a full matted top and there are British proofs on the left side at the chamber area and left side of receiver. Receiver is spectacularly engraved by Angelo J. Stokes with a wonderfully detailed large vignette of a cougar standing on a precipice surrounded by a foliate border and further surrounded by foliate arabesque patterns. It has a beautiful spade & dot border with fleur di lis. Right side of receiver is engraved with a grizzly bear on the loading port base and another grizzly in front of the loading port. It has extremely well executed foliate patterns with foliate arabesque patterns surrounding and a mirror image border of the left side. Bottom of receiver has a large oval vignette of a massive mule deer buck surrounded by foliate arabesque patterns. Engraving extends over the top of the receiver, entire top of the bolt, top edges of the receiver, top tang, takedown ring, and forend cap. There is a band of engraving at the chamber end of the bbl and another at the muzzle. Sides of hammer & lever & face of lever are also beautifully engraved. This is certainly one of Stokes' most accomplished and detailed pieces of work. It is mounted with very beautiful, highly figured, center crotch cut, flame & shell grain, American walnut, carved and checkered in "D" style with oak leaves, acorns, & ribbons with capped pistol gripped stock and a solid red Winchester pad. Forend cap & buttstock have sling eyes. This exact rifle is pictured, in black & white, on pg. 334 of Winchester Engraving, Wilson. Caption states that this is a factory photograph with penciled notation on the back, "Stokes Design D/Lab $80.00/Mod 92". This is obviously an 1886 in the photograph and close examination leaves no doubt that this is the exact same rifle before the British proofs were applied, even though it is not identified by serial number. Mr. Wilson speculates that given the difference from previously known factory designs, the factory was experimenting with new patterns to add to their repertoire. The photograph credit is from the Nick Kusmit Collection. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter fully identifying this rifle with the matted bbl, recoil pad, special engraving, and screw eyes. It further states "Eighty Hours Stokes". It also states carved style "D", $10. It further indicates receipt in warehouse Nov 10, 1909, shipped April 29, 1910, received and returned May 28, 1910. It shows two different work orders. All of which, combined with the British Proofs, leads to the speculation that this was an exhibit rifle. CONDITION: Extremely fine, as new, possibly unfired, retaining most of its orig factory finish to both metal & wood. It retains virtually all of its orig blue on the bolt face. Blue is extremely bright and clean with only the most faint sharp edge wear. Case colors on sides of lever & all the hammer are brilliant, turning silver on the outer edges of lever. Wood has one or two very minor nicks & scratches and retains virtually all of its orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Goforth Collection

Receiver is very beautifully engraved, probably by John Ulrich, with a large scroll type panel on the left side, inlaid in gold script "George W. La Rue / 1895".

He may have been a guide rather than a close friend, I cannot recall. The successful bidder for this rifle will receive a rewritten "original" notarized copy of the original letter. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl and magazine tube retain 95-97% strong original blue with slight muzzle and sharp edge wear. Receiver retains about 95% strong, bright, orig factory blue slightly thinned on the bottom with light edge wear and a small amount of wear at the top rear edges.

Reverend Hargate was a master at St. Paul's School in Concord, NH from 1860-1906, where Caldwell Hart Colt, the only surviving son of Samuel Colt, received part of his early education, 1871-1874. Rev. Hargate may have been Caldwell Colt's dorm master during part or all of this time. Mr. Raymond Spencer, Rector at St. Paul's School, which was still in operation in 1979, furnished the above information and also stated that the school masters "were practically parents to the students in their charge". Apparently at the time Mr. Colt attended St. Paul's, there were few students and masters. "The school in these days must have been like a large family". Accompanied by a three-ring binder of photographs and numerous items of original correspondence, primarily from Jim & Karla Kaekel. As well as a copy of the February 1979 issue of The Gun Report which on page 54, has an article by Mrs. Kaekel describing her finding and researching its history. Also included is an original eight-page booklet, apparently a memorial to Rev. Hargate, printed by St. Paul's School Alumni Association. Also included is a multi-page booklet, "The Catalog of Walter O'Connor" which lists this revolver as item #30. Additional inclusions are 8 x 10 photographs of two large Victorain buildings, one appears to be the mausoleum of Caldwell Hart Colt and the other appears to be the Hartford home of theColt family. Also included are copies of several pages of the "Roll of Alumni of St. Paul's School" which lists Caldwell Hart Colt as a student from 1871-1874. There are also two copies of group photographs of St. Paul's School in 1872 as well as photographs of a young man making inquiries regarding documentation on this revolver. Caldwell Colt was only 13 years old when he stated at St. Paul's, which, conincidentially was the same year this revolver was produced. Therefore, we can presume that Mr. Colt had a very strong attachment to Rev. Hargate early on in their relationship. CONDITION: Fine plus. Bbl retains 88-90% original nickel-plating with some flaking on the right and at the muzzle. Cylinder retains about 85% original nickel with two of the chambers having spots of pitting on the outside.
