Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1464:
Description
This lot consists of one Stevens Model 94C single-shot break-action shotgun chambered for 12 gauge. The firearm features a 28-inch blued steel barrel with a bead front sight and a 2 3/4-inch chamber. The receiver displays a case-hardened finish and is equipped with a top-lever release and an external hammer. The furniture consists of a smooth wood stock and forend, with the buttstock fitted with an aftermarket brown rubber slip-on recoil pad. Detailed markings on the left side of the receiver include STEVENS, SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION, and CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. along with a small circular 25M proof mark. The right side of the receiver is stamped MODEL 94C. Barrel markings specify SELECTED FORGED STEEL, PROOF TESTED 12 GAUGE, and — 2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER — with a circular J M proof mark also present. The barrel is notably devoid of external choke markings. While the action appears to function correctly, we have not function-tested this firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The shotgun is in used condition. The blued finish on the barrel shows significant surface wear, thinning, and areas of light oxidation and minor pitting. The case-hardened receiver displays a dark patina with scattered surface oxidation throughout. The wood stock and forend exhibit numerous scratches, dings, and finish wear, particularly concentrated on the buttstock under the slip-on pad. The bore is bright with some light frosting. The action locks up securely and the hammer and trigger appear to function mechanically.
