Trumbull, CT - At the 2010 SHOT Show, Baron Engraving's outstanding engraving work was again seen on the two guns that were the auction items of this year's show: the 10,000,001th Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun and the 4,000,000th Savage 110 rifle. As in past years, Baron Engraving was chosen for the excellent craftsmanship it produces on many of the industry's landmark guns.
Celebrating the most popular shotgun of all time, Remington Model 870 was hand-engraved at Baron Engraving by Heidi Roos and features a style of scroll work that is similar to the 2,000,000th 870 Wingmaster engraved by well-know Remington engraver Robert Runge. The gun's left side has the theme of "First of the Next 10,000,000" and the 10,000,001 serial number in gold plating on a blued background and two hunting scenes on the right that feature two shooters in various locales. These shooters, and the ducks at which they are aiming, are gold plated, as well. It was displayed in Remington's booth at SHOT 2010.
Known as one of the world's greatest deer rifles, the SHOT Show auction's Savage Model 110 rifle was hand engraved by Rob Bunting of Baron Engraving and features an Indian head that is carved in relief and gold plated on the bolt handle; a floor plate with a rectangular, single-line, shaded-scroll outside border whose inside line is gold-plated and an Indian head in a circle in the center (also gold plated) and a fan-motif in each corner and a target in the forward and aft areas. The receiver's left side reads Savage Arms Model 110, which is hand cut and gold plated with matching single-line shade-scroll, and a factory-stamped 4,000,000 serial number. The right side also has shaded-scroll work with a gold-plated single line fore and aft of the shell ejection area.
"Baron Engraving is very proud to support the outstanding work of the Hunting Heritage Trust with this year's auction." said David Baron, president of Baron Engraving.
As in the past, both SHOT Show guns were offered exclusively on Gunbroker.com for bidding, and when the bidding closed, the top bid on the Model 870 was $9,500 and the Model 110 auctioned for $5,691. The money raised went to the Hunting Heritage Trust in support of efforts to foster America's hunting and shooting sports heritage.
