WITHDRAWN REDUCED Fine Leonard Day .54 Jaeger

Selling to Day family. It's going home! Fantastic smoothbore .54 cal Jaeger by master builder Leonard Day, well known for his fine swivel guns. It has a 26” octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore and possibly unfired. This gun could be bored out to .58 and rifled by Bobby Hoyt for less than $200, round trip. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original plum-brown The top flat is engraved “Made by Leonard Day”. It has an R.E. Davis & Co. lock. All fittings are browned. The stock is in very fine to near excellent condition showing some scattered very small dings and minor handling marks,mostly along the sides of the butt and toe line. The wood has a beautiful tiger stripe grain figure with a nicely fitted sliding wooden patchbox cover. The sights consist of a fancy square-notch rear and low profile brass blade front.The lock has double set triggers. A light handy gun by a master builder who is no longer with us. $1950 + Shipping.

A beautiful rifle by one of the best.

What an absolutely fine piece. GLWS

I had planned to send barrel to Bobby Hoyt and have him bore and rifle to .58 or .60, but he is on vacation until early November. Buyer might think about that, although a tight patched ball at ranges this gun is intended for should do pretty well.
