Norris Morgan's notes indicate that all this fine engraving is by the revered Joe Fugger, Griffin & Howe's top engraver through the 50s, though no signature is found.

WIFE ARLENE. Cal. 308 Win. S# 1. Bbl. 19". The February 1965 issue of "The Illuminator" (journal of the Hartford Electric Light Company) spotlights the doings & hobbies of their employees. This issue features Norris Morgan in an article he wrote concerning his hobby - - - weapons. In it, he relates that the first rifle he made was for his wife to use. He used a Mexican Mauser action, a Springfield 4-groove bbl. & a fine piece of French walnut. The Springfield bbl. was shortened to 19" at both ends allowing rechambering for the then new (circa 1952) .308 Winchester cartridge. A sleeved on front sight ramp w/ gold bead & sling eye were installed. Top of bbl. is engraved "No. 1 Norris R. Morgan Stamford, Conn." Mexican Mauser action is fitted w/ Lyman 57 receiver sight, receiver ring stipled in usual "G&H" fashion, follower is engine turned. Bolt handle has been neatly turned down w/ knob neatly checkered in two panels. Flag safety is gold inlaid "FIRE" & "SAFE". Bottom metal has had bow nicely thinned & shaped.

A vacant gold oval & sling eye are on toeline. Bottom of grip cap is nicely scroll engraved. Workmanship is quite good for someone's first custom stock. Grip checkering is quite well done, while checkering on forend has a few minor problems. The pattern he selected is extremely difficult, requiring lines to be kept parallel nearly all the way around the tapered forend; a very daunting task w/out lots of practice. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a copy of the "Illuminator" and Norris' inventory sheet for this rifle is included. CONDITION: fine to very fine. Metal parts retaining essentially all of their custom hot blue. There are a few minor marks & scratches in hand rubbed oil finish of stock. Bore is excellent, action is smooth.

Jim has been on many African safaris & has done a great amount of hunting in North & South America. He has taken nearly 40 cape buffalo. After years of experience he decided to build his once in a lifetime all-purpose rifle which is for sale here today. An article he wrote for "Guns" magazine in 1990 outlines his previous hunting experience with other rifles as well as the reasons how & why he built this truly fine left handed rifle in .425 Express. He also relates the personal interaction needed to complete the project. The 24 1/2" tapered octagon barrel is fitted with what appear to be integral quarter rib & front sight ramp. Rib is fitted with 1 standing leaf express rear sight with warthog ivory triangle as a sighting aid. An ivory bead is in front sight base.

EXPRESS RIFLES CONVERTED FROM PERCUSSION TO JONES UNDERLEVER BREECH LOADERS W/ MAHOGANY CASE & MANY FINE ACCESSORIES. 1. S# 6533. 2. S# 6534. BOTH: cal. .500, 3" BPE. Regarding the Purdey "Express" rifle, J. H. Walsh (Stonehenge) relates "to possess one of which has been the object of most deer stalkers & rifle shots for many years." James Purdey the younger was the first to market these rifles & coined the name "Express Train" to describe his rifles of sm. caliber yet using a lg. powder charge resulting in high velocity & flat trajectory. In recent times, we have shortened the term to just "Express" pertaining to a lg. variety of British cartridges. The 2 groove muzzle loaders were quite popular w/ an estimated total of 250 rifles made between 1852 - 1870. These percussion rifles remained quite popular long after breech loaders came to the fore. Few of these rifles are found converted to the breech loading principle mostly because the 2 groove system & many of the rifles made for it did not convert well to available breech loading cartridges. Many of these rifles were produced in 32 bore as well as quite a few in 70 bore w/ other variations in between. The most popular caliber was the 40 bore & these did measure correctly for conversion to the 500-3" black powder cartridge. The 40 bore 2 groove rifle measures .490 bore diameter & .520 groove diameter which was acceptable for the .510 bullet used in the 500 cartridge. In addition, only the later 40 bore percussion rifles made for charges in excess of 3 drams had enough wall thickness in the breech area for conversion. This pair of rifles originally sold 30 June, 1863 were converted to central fire breech loading at a later date (probably circa 1875). Underlever actions were fabricated as well as new forends. Bbls., locks, trigger guards & buttstocks were retained. Patent breeches were removed from bbls. & new lumps were fitted. Hammers had heads reforged & shaped. These guns now retain 29 3/4" "best" 2 stripe damascus bbls engraved "J. Purdey. 314 1/2 Oxford St. London." on slightly raised flat ribs. Bbls. are fitted w/ 1 standing 3 nested folding express rear sights & silver bead fronts. Original black powder proofs are on bbls. w/ no reproof marks after conversion. London View proofs are on actions. Actions are nicely filed & engraved w/ well cut shaded scroll to match original engraving on lockplates. Frontspring non rebounding locks are fitted w/ front sliding stalking safeties. Well marbled & very nicely figured European walnut buttstocks measure 14 1/2" over original checkered steel buttplates which are engraved "Charge 3 1/4 drams" "No. 6 Powder". Original spurred trigger guards are retained as are scroll engraved hinged patchboxes on right sides. Matching splinter forends are attached to bbls. w/ captive sliding bolts through shaped & engraved steel escutcheons. Sling eyes are on bottoms of bbls. & toelines of stocks which also have sm. vacant silver ovals. MEASUREMENTS: DAC: 1 11/16". DAH: 2 9/16". Cast: Neutral. WEIGHT: 8 lbs. 9 oz.

Robert Schrader of Gottingen developed a number of patents for rifles, shotguns, & drillings that were quite popular at the turn of the 19 to 20th centuries. His most famous is incorporated in this rifle w/ a combined cocking/opening "trigger on outside of trigger guard bow. Pushing forward opens the rifle. In its center position, rifle is uncocked & completely safe." pulling the trigger to the rear cocks the rifle. To return to safe position, simply pushing the cocking trigger forward again uncocks action. His other patent used in this rifle is the unique breeching system using trunions on sides of bbls. which engage heavy sides of the breech area. Bbls. are locked down by a Purdey type sliding bolt. This action is obviously very strong & is quite slim in profile, but "a bit heavy" when viewed from top or bottom.

Surviving records at Joseph Lang start in 1858 at S# 2085. Earlier guns are mentioned in the records, probably added when the weapons came in for inspection or work. This rifle, #979 is the earliest by far. The next number recorded after this is 1565. This is a 12 bore dbl. rifle (groove diameter .775) w/ 10 groove rifling w/ 1 turn in approx. 50" for rnd. ball. 30" Twist bbls. are engraved "JOSEPH LANG, HAYMARKET LONDON" on rib fitted w/ 1 standing 2 folding leaf V-notch rear sight marked for 50, 150, & 200 yds.

Original brass tipped ebony ramrod is held by 2 plain pipes, rear w/ sling eye. Patent breeches are nicely filed & engraved w/ shell on rib extension & are fitted w/ vented platinum plugs. Breech iron w/ integral fences is very nicely engraved w/ swags of shaded scroll. Case hardened front spring locks w/ back sliding safeties are fitted w/ serpentine hammers filed similar to those by Thomas Mortimer & later, Alexander Henry. Locks & hammers are engraved in very well cut large open scroll. "Joseph Lang" is in arched device on each lockplate & hammers have stylized dolphin heads.

Buttplate retains approx. 70% of its original bright charcoal blue w/ some brown stains on edges. The staining on this rifle appears to have happened all at the same time & is most likely the reason for refinishing of bbls. & trigger guard. Stock finish, virtually unaltered since the rifle was made, is very dry w/ slightly raised grain, some scattered stains & some minor marks, the exception being a 1/2" long ding on right side of butt. Bores are very fine, bright & shiny w/ a few scattered pits toward muzzles. Locks are crisp.

BBLS. & HIGH GRADE CHECKERING. Cal. 12 Ga., 2 3/4". S# 172657. Bbls. 30". The history of this gun is a bit of a mystery. At first it looks like a well worn "VH" that someone has augmented the checkering to mimic "B" style. Closer examination shows a replacement set of bbls. w/ the S# 82228. "The Parker Story" relates that the earliest "VH" gun in the stock books is #88220. These bbls. w/ a much earlier # are marked in standard fashion on the rib w/ "VULCAN STEEL". 82228 Is listed in the Parker Serialization Ledger as grade "V3", probably a grade 3 gun w/ Vulcan steel bbls. 82225 Is the earliest listing of any "V" gun. How all these bits came together is anyone's guess. It is, however an interesting Parker which has an unusual "Parker TrapGun" buttplate w/ embossed flying pigeon. 30" Bbls. have all correct markings on concave rib & water table. They were made for 1 1/2 frame gun & the loop is stamped "2" as is normally found on extra sets of bbls. Usual Parker VH frame features automatic safety & dbl. triggers. Plain American walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14 1/4" over "Parker TrapGun" buttplate. Checkering is well done & as mentioned before in "B" style w/ flourishes into butt & mullered borders. Matching splinter forend is near fully checkered, patent date is on release.
