COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this extraordinarily fine 1936 production Griffin & Howe custom bolt-action rifle built on a select U.S. Springfield Model 1903 action and chambered in .30-06 Springfield. Bearing serial number 1509 across the barrel and action, this exceptional custom firearm features a 24-inch medium-weight barrel topped with a stippled ramp bead front sight with a knurled hood. Historically crafted for a prominent figure with the initials W.P.W., this heirloom-quality sporting rifle exemplifies the golden era of American custom gunmaking.

The barreled action exhibits flawless engine-turned damascening on the bolt body, extractor, feed rail, and follower, set off by a stippled front receiver ring and a hand-checkered two-stage trigger. Mounted to a classic straight-comb fancy walnut stock with a shadowline cheekpiece, the wood shows rich burl grain patterns, a horn forend tip, wrap-around point-pattern checkering, a silver monogrammed "W.P.W." initial plate on the toeline, and a engraved trapdoor buttplate. Optical sighting is provided by a period Carl Zeiss 3/4" tube scope set into a quick-detachable Griffin & Howe side mount, complemented by a Lyman receiver sight.

Included with this premier rifle is its original "W.P.W." monogrammed hooded leather scabbard with carrying straps, a German-made Carl Zeiss Zielklein scope with leather lens covers, and a seven-piece steel cleaning rod set stowed within the stock compartment. Preserved in magnificent original condition retaining over 98% bluing with clear glass, minor stock handling marks, and a mirror-bright bore, this historic Griffin & Howe masterpiece represents a crown-jewel investment for the elite arms collector.
