November 15 & 16, 2022 Extraordinary Firearms & Militaria
A dainty, but significant shotgun with attributions to famed performer Clark Gable. Features include 22" barrels chambered in .410 bore with brass bead front sight and 2 - 1/2" chambers. Neither barrel is choked. Barrels have been adorned with nickel plated finish. 2-piece checkered stock and forearm with serrated composite buttplate. The construction of this firearm would make it perfect for Gable on one of his west coast bird hunts, and equally perfect for one of his female companions. It is well known that Gable was an avid outdoor sportsman with a particular interest in hunting. Gable would almost always be accompanied by a group of close friends and especially women he fancied and vice versa. This shotgun would be the perfect complement for the kit of an attractive admirer of Gable, as reflected by the flashy finish. CONDITION: Very good, with barrels retaining bountiful amounts of added nickel plating with consistent age-related freckling throughout. Stock and forearm are excellent with light handling marks and no major signs of distress. Mechanically fine. Bores are frosted with heavy abrasion near muzzle.
