The checkered straight grip walnut buttstock and forend with horn tip remain in near excellent condition showing some scattered light dings and a few lightly chipped points, the forend with perhaps a bit more wear overall, and the buttstock shows lovely grain figure throughout. The rifle is sighted with full complement of attractive Greener patent hardware including folding aperture sight atop the wrist with three-size aperture hole selector, military-style leaf rear sight and combination front sight with simple blade and fine bead-on-post. The sight adjustment lines feature thin platinum line inserts and the rifle is equipped with sling swivel eyes. The action seems to function well mechanically. A lovely Greener Martini target rifle.

TO HOLYOKE P.D.

serial #219712, 25 ACP, 2 1/8” barrel with a lightly frosted bore. This 1919-manufactured pistol is roll marked “H.P.D. No. 5” on the left side of the frame forward of the serial number.

serial #9857, 12 ga, 20” plain barrel choked cylinder with intermittent pinprick pitting and a speck or two of oxidation in an otherwise bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1894-made riot gun have toned to a light oxidized brown patina with light wear on high edge and contact points, remnants of original blue in the protected areas, and some scattered light handling marks; the bolt retains about ng in

very good condition with a few light cracks behind the triggerguard, a perhaps lightly re paired about 3 1/2” crack along the underside of the forend, and some scattered light dings and handling marks, most appearing smoothed by handling over time; the smooth steel buttplate has toned to gunmetal gray with areas of light oxidation staining. The model marking on the action bar, two-line barrel ad dress, and caliber designation are intact and readily legible, only slightly softened with time, and the shotgun is assembly nu bered “196” on the left side of the triggerguard tang and beneath the buttplate. The shotgun is sighted with a lone brass bead appears to function well mechanically. A record search from the Cody Firearms Records Office will reveal that this shotgun was received by the warehouse on March 29, 1894, originally with a 30” barrel, the most common configuration. On July 16, 1894 it is recorded as being received at the warehouse again, this time in riot gun configuration sporting a 20” barrel; it was shipped from the warehouse the same day. An altogether honest example of these rare Winchester Model 1893 Riot shotguns. (14B10860-35) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)

The left side of the stock is crisply stamped with a boxed “W.B.” inspectors’ cartouche above an Ordnance Wheel, and amusingly a small label is taped to the right side of the buttstock, reminding the user to “UNLOAD BEFORE STORING”. The factory markings are intact and crisp with the left side of the receiver properly machine stamped “U.S.” with an Ordnance Bomb next to it, a second Ordnance Bomb stamped on the barrel by the Winchester “WP” proof, the barrel “CYL” choke marked, and the serial number within the correct range; the barrel is “42” dated and the receiver extension is numbered to the gun. While no exact match was found, serial numbers in close proximity to this shotgun are listed in Springfield Research as being Model 97 Riot shotguns, a large portion of which are listed as going to New River Training Center, which would shortly after be named as Camp Lejeune. An honest Winchester 97 Riot shotgun. (14B10998-39) {C&R} [Gary W. Tiscornia Collection] (3000/5000) 10.

EXCELLENT U.S. COLT MODEL 1903 POCKET HAMMERLESS PISTOL WITH BOX & PAPERWORK

The sheet indicates that Captain Philip Burnham of New York City purchased the pistol directly from Springfield Armory for $28.75 with two extra magazines and cleaning implements. Research has uncovered a Captain Philip Burnham who served with the 48th Armored Infantry Battalion and passed away in 2011 but he appears to have been from Pennsylvania and given the rather common name is likely a different officer. In any event this is a wonderful ensemble for the advanced U.S. martial collector. (13B10998-18) {C&R} [Gary W. Tiscornia Collection] (3000/5000)

11. SMITH & WESSON MODEL 29-2 DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER

The Model 29 maintains a loyal following of collectors with “S” prefix guns commanding strong interest among them. (8B11070-8) {C&R} (1200/1800)

This gun includes a factory yellow and black two-piece box that is correctly end labeled and hand numbered to the gun, manual, and paperwork. The box rates very good overall showing light wear on the cover and solid corners. The manual rates very good also, showing light soiling and wear from the gun resting on it over the years. An exciting find for Ruger Collectors and 41 Magnum aficionados. (8B10798-58) {C&R} (1000/1500)

with longer screw-in choke tubes and a “live” rubber pad. The shotgun features a single selective trigger, automatic safety, robust ejectors, and the barrels lock up tightly with some light visible at the breech.

The trigger and hammer retain full blue finish with bright sides on the hammer. The frame retains the beautiful swirls of case-hardened colors that Colt is noted for.

An excellent example of a contemporary Single Action Army. (8B11112-103) {MODERN} (2000/3000)

serial #1849449, 30-30 Win, 24” barrel with a bright excellent bore.

The Winchester proofs and other barrel and frame markings are crisp. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate very good with a 3 1/2” crack in the right side of the forend near the receiver, a small abrasion on the right side of the gripcap, and some scattered minor handling marks from the field. The front sight hood is missing and the sights are otherwise intact, and the action appears to function well mechanically. A nice example of these fine rifles. (23B11158-9) {C&R} (1800/2200)

scratches and mild handling marks, the blue toning very slightly to a deep plum under bright light. The action retains about 97 98% original blue showing some subtle sharp edge wear and a few light handling marks here and there. All markings remain crisp and clear. The smooth pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good plus condition showing some scattered light scuffs and dings, the buttstock retaining perhaps 90% original varnish showing mild flaking, the forend with more finish wear overall. There is one more noticeable scratch near the heel and a vacant sling swivel hole along the toe line. The original checkered steel buttplate is intact and the rifle is sighted with Winchester’s 98A riding bolt peep sight, rear dovetail blanked and silver bead front sight on ramp complete with hood. The action seems to function well mechanically. An attractive rifle in the desirable 218 Bee. (13B11139-3) {C&R} (2500/3500)

17.

serial #874872, 44 W.C.F., 20” round barrel with a full magazine and a bright very good plus bore with scattered pinprick to light pitting and clear rifling throughout. The barrel and magazine retain about 3540% original blue, appearing stronger under ambient light and primarily in the protected areas, with the balance worn to a gray-brown patina showing some light handling marks and seven deliberately added shallow notches on the underside of the magazine just ahead of the forend tip. The receiver and barrel bands have worn to a gray-brown patina, the grasping area a more pewter tone, with scattered spots of oxidation staining and a few light handling marks; the saddle ring stud has been ground flat, the operation leaving a shallow grind mark on the receiver. The straight grip gumwood stock and long forend are in very good condition with a moderate divot on the forend left woodline, scattered dings and light divots on the butt with a few streaks of older finish on the left, and the light handling marks; the curved steel buttplate has worn to gray with light oxidation staining, some fine pinprick pitting, and is a touch proud of the stock here and there. The factory markings are intact, the serial number and model marking crisp with the two-line barrel address and Winchester “WP” proofs somewhat lightened but still legible. The carbine is sighted with a pinned blade front sight and an adjustable ladder-style rear sight graduated from 500 yards to 2000 yards, and the action appears to function well mechanically. A solid carbine that appears to have been used to some success in the deer woods. (14A10873-88) {C&R} (1000/1500)

and remnants of oxidation staining. Some of the action parts are rather crude in their construction as might be expected, the hammer itself without any checkering. The barrel

matching “346” while the inside of the buttplate is stamped with a “2” and the forend appears to be un-numbered. The barrel is also stamped matching the frame. The front sight dovetail is vacant and there is another vacant dovetail ahead of the currently installed rear sight which is a combination generous buckhorn and leaf. The action will require some mechanical attention as the hammer resists being pulled back to full cock and will drop as the action is cycled. These rifles saw extensive frontier use and it is estimated less than 600 were made before Winchester took over the patent. This is an honest example of a very important arm for the discerning Winchester or American arms collector. (13D10998-32) {ANTIQUE} [Gary W. Tiscornia Collection] (4000/6000)

21. WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 THICK SIDE HIGH WALL RIFLE

The rifle is sighte standard sporting rear sight and an old replacement silver blade front sight. The action seems to function well mechanically. A solid example of an early thick side High Wall rifle. (13B10998-15) {ANTIQUE} [Gary W. Tiscornia Collection] (2000/2500)

20. EARLY BROWNING BROTHERS 1879 PATENT HIGH WALL SPORTING RIFLE

All of the serialized parts are matching and stamped with proper eagle firing proofs and “(Eagle) / 359” Waffenamts.

The holster is marked “epf / 1942” (Karl Bocker) and remains in about very good plus condition showing a small streak of reddish paint near the muzzle end, overall scuffs, some mild discoloration and a small area of loose stitching near the muzzle. An original goldwashed German Reichsadler officer’s cap badge has been stapled to the holster flap, no doubt by an enterprising GI. This is a very attractive rig for the German martial collector. (13A11127-1) {C&R} (1500/2000)

serial #4673, 9mm, 4” barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore that shows one small patch of light to perhaps moderate pitting just back from the muzzle. This is an attractive 1908 first year contract German Army Luger that has been updated with the hold open. The frame appears to have been arsenal-refinished in the expected fine rust blue prior to installation of the hold open as there are some fine pinprick pits beneath the finish, the hold open inspector

The factory markings are intact and crisp, and the barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up tight and onface with the lever coming to rest just right of center and features a single selective trigger, nonautomatic safety, robust ejectors, inertial hammers, and is sighted with a lone steel bead. Included is a Browning luggage style case with a white faux fur interior lining in very good plus condition with a few light handling marks and one clasp of the handle partially loose, and the manual. A fine 1953-produced smallbore Superposed. (14B11171-3) {C&R} (1800/2200)

housing screw, hammer, gripstraps and butt, these areas toning to a mild gray-brown patina. There are some other scattered light handling marks to be ex pected and the one piece walnut grip rates about ex cellent as very lightly cleaned and the flat of each butt with a number of small impact marks. Grip fit remains very nice and it is numbered to the gun on the interior. The included factory letter shows shipment to Colt’s London Agency in August 1876 with six other guns, caliber is listed as “45 Eley Cartridge” and the finish as nickel, barrel length and stocks are not listed which generally means stock 7 1/2” and walnut. Indeed the left rear of the triggerguard is marked “45 Cal./B”, which is the factory marking for the 45 Eley Short cartridge (The 36 Calibers Of The Colt Sin gle Action Army), a marking we have found on similar 45 Eley guns sold by this house, there were only 110 .45 Eley Short Single Action Army revolvers made, making it 17th rarest of all the chamberings. Most inter estingly however is the barrel address which reads “COLT’S FIRE ARMS MFG CO. 14 PALL MALL LONDON” with NO mention at all of the Hart ford address, very interesting since the gun shipped from the Hartford factory; the beginning of the marking is a bit light but that is not surpris ing, and the finish is original in every respect. There is another example known with this address, number 24501, which shipped in a 75 gun shipment, but not an address ever encountered by this house. There are a few light tool marks here and there on the gun from the years, we find marks left and right on the frame, a couple on the barrel and some atop the hammer near the firing pin, they are however unobtrusive, with of course the prerequisite light scratches or handling marks here and there about the finish and a bit of flaking on the front and back strap near the butt. The British proofs on the cylinder and underside of barrel and all numbers are matching on barrel, frame, triggerguard, butt and cylinder (2 is a bit light) and the gun functions well mechanically for the most

ping as far as one would like on the loading notch, con sequently there is a turn ring on the cylinder. One very interesting feature on the gun is the replaced hammer screw which is oversized both left and right providing a lug, no doubt for mounting a shoulder stock, which would doubtless explain the loss of finish on the butt and perhaps even the dings left and right, where there a tensioning screw in that position on the stock proper. A number of the screw slots show some light damage which has been dressed, leaving the slots wider than normal and a few of the screws polished bright, of no real consequence when considering the rarity of the gun. The arm comes in a nice Stockdale’s StratfordLondon leather carry case with locking hasps and a replaced candy apple red interior with a modern facsimile Thomas Bland & Sons West Strand London retailers label, along with an applied facsimile paper label “Directions for Using Colt’s New 450 Bore Government Army Pistol”. Inside we find a small Gallyon & Sons bottle of oil or perhaps solvent, empty tin of Dominion No.2 Copper Primers, ebony wiping rod and ebony-handled turn screw. There are two depressions for boxes of cartridges and additional compartments for accessory or cleaning items. Really a very lovely and very rare revolver, destined to be a conversation piece in any comprehensive and advanced Colt collection, a solid investment revolver.

high edges and operational wear, the gas cylinder thinning to pewter gunmetal patina. The forward handguard is walnut while the rear and the stock proper are hardwood and remain in very good plus condition showing the expected scattered light dings and handling marks, the handguards with a few abrasions. The toe line is stamp-numbered matching the receiver and the stock otherwise appears to be unmarked. All markings remain intact and strong and the major components are a mix of American and Italian manufacture, the bolt being Springfield, milled triggerguard Winchester, operating rod International Harvester, and a number of the sight parts are Italian. The standard sights are intact with T105 rear sight drums, 2-slot gas cylinder screw, and the action appears to function well mechanically. (13A11110-41) {C&R} [N.R.A.

Stock shows a little bit of cast-off and length-of-pull to the solid red rubber Decelerator pad is 14 5/8” with drops of 1 1/2” and 2 1/2”. Weight is just a bit over 8 lbs. and the shotgun features non-automatic safety and dual silver bead sights.

serial #62205, 12 ga (2 1/2”), 30” barrels choked about improved cylinder and full with mostly bright very good bores showing a few areas of light pitting, a few spots perhaps more moderate in the right barrel for a few inches about mid-bore. The barrels retain perhaps 80-85% original rust blue appearing stronger under ambient light that shows some overall mild fading and thinning to gray-brown patina along with some other scattered handling marks. Barrels are not marked as to any maker and show Birmingham nitro-proofs for 2 1/2” shells 1 1/8 oz. load. The action has mostly toned to a silvery gray case-hardened patina with some areas of gray-brown and a bit of oxidation speckling here and there, retaining some streaks of vibrant case-hardened colors in the protected areas.

The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend with push-button release remain in very good condition showing honest wear overall with the checkering rather worn, scattered light dings and the buttstock with a few thin grain cracks from drying, mostly along the left side butt though they are mostly unobtrusive and very minor. There is a tiny chip at the toe and the sides of the butt show some nice figure.

All markings remain intact and strong, the frame with two-line patent dates and “U.S.” and “RAC” inspector stamps on frame, barrel and cylinder, the triggerguard and backstrap with “K”. The smooth walnut grip remains in very good condition showing mostly worn finish and darkening from the years with a few minor chips or dings along the edges. The inside ink number is rather faded but appears to be matching and there are ghostly remnants of the inspector cartouches on either side, the date on the left side remaining legible and matching the manufacture date of the revolver “1891”. All remaining serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically, the notches perhaps worked on a bit long ago, though all are properly functional and timing and lockup are very good. A handsome Carr-inspected revolver with honest character and an attractive appearance overall. (13C11112-76) {ANTIQUE} (5000/7000)

POCKET HAMMERLESS SEMI-AUTO PISTOL

The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very fine to near excellent condition showing a few light handling marks.

serial #149788, 32 ACP, 3 3/4” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1913-made pistol retain about 92% original bright blue showing some scattered light flaking, minor edge wear and handling marks, most of the loss along the gripstraps which are flaking to a pleasant mild gray-brown patina. The bright blue of the slide is a slightly different tone than the frame but otherwise no doubt factory original showing nice crisp markings throughout. The barrel retains 99% original blue and the small parts show lovely brilliant fire blue. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in excellent condition and the action seems to function well mechanically. One original two-tone magazine with “CAL. 32 / COLT” floorplate is included.

serial #170686, .36 cal, 7 1/2” octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing subtle remnants of rifling. The metal surfaces of this 1863-made revolver have mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing some scattered old pitting and some light dings or tool marks, these mostly around the wedge. The New York address remains intact and strong as do many of the other principal markings, the cylinder scene mostly worn from the years retaining a few

condition showing a few small old chips along the corners, dings on the bases and a few notches along the back of the right side. The grip is a little shy at the backstrap and a few of the screws are more modern replacements. The wedge is numbered “22989”, the loading lever is unnumbered and the remaining numbered parts are matching. Timing is a little off and the action otherwise functional. The revolver includes an older custom hardwood case that shows some light dings and scuffs along the exterior, the interior relined in green felt and containing a medium-sized stands of flags powder flask with broken top spring and some light pitting along the body. There is also a “COLTS PATENT” dual cavity mould for round ball and conical bullet, though it is for a .44 caliber revolver and shows moderate dings and wear overall. A salty mid-war Colt with a lot of character. (13B10862-4) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

69. SMITH & WESSON FIRST MODEL SCHOFIELD REVOLVER WITH WELLS FARGO NUMBER

serial #2589, 45 S&W, 5” ribbed round barrel with a good bore showing some fine pitting and oxidation with otherwise strong rifling throughout. This revolver is in the standard Wells Fargo configuration and appropriately stamped with the serial number in large numbers along the right-side barrel though is not otherwise marked with the “W.F. & CO. EX.” Stamp. The metal surfaces retain about 75% period retailer-refurbished nickel finish that shows moderate flaking along the sides of the barrel and cylinder toning to mild gray-brown and

hardening and all markings remain intact and strong retaining the original “US” stamp on the butt and various small inspector marks. The checkered walnut grips are old replacements showing light dings and handling marks. Strangely the breech end of the barrel has been ground back leaving a considerable cylinder gap and the action will require mechanical attention as it currently does not time or lock-up properly and the hammer pushes off. The hinge screw is an old replacement and barrel-to-frame fit exhibits play. The topstrap screw is mismatched numbered “3134” and the remaining numbered parts are matching. A salty but good example piece of these desirable revolvers. (13B10990-56) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)

and its retainer screw is a somewhat oversized period replacement. The bottom of the frame also ap pears to show an old repair and there are a few flakes of original nickel finish lurking about the frame. The E. Remington & Sons barrel address remains completely intact and strong and the smooth walnut grips remain in very good condition showing the expected light dings and handling marks with honest wear and some gaps along the top edge where they meet the frame. The grips no longer bear any legible numbers on their interiors and the exterior of the right panel is stamped “101” below the escutcheon and “R” on the base, no doubt a 101 Ranch property mark. There are also some scribblings along the insides of the grips with “Jack Case” being lightly penciled along the left panel. The lanyard ring is present, the triggerguard and loading gate are matching the frame and the cylinder and frame are matching by assembly number “231”. The action is generally functional, with timing and lock-up a little off on a few chambers and the ejector rod somewhat sluggish. The revolver includes a wonderful three-loop Mexican-style leather holster, the bottom neatly impressed with a roundel stamp “MADE ON / 101 RANCH / BLISS O.T.” The holster body shows some light floral carving, a nickel-plated brass star escutcheon affixed via leather cord and 92 iron brads that show honest oxidation and patina. The appearance of the holster is very honest as well with a darkened patina and light crackling, otherwise remaining in fine condition. The 101 Ranch was built in 1892 and put on the 101 Ranch Wild West Show featuring Joe Miller and cast members through the years including Tom Mix and Buffalo Bill. The ranch also leased equipment and loaned performers to the movie industry, but by the mid-1920s the show started posting losses as the movie industry and other forms of entertainment began to surpass the “old fashioned” traveling Wild West shows. Jack Case also worked with the 101 Ranch and in the industry in general as a performer and stuntman. This is a very interesting ensemble for the Wild West collector, connected to one of the premier shows of the early 1900s. (13F11001-22) {ANTIQUE}

THIRD MODEL REVOLVER

serial #3943, 44 S&W Russian, 6 1/2” ribbed round barrel with a partially bright about good bore that shows some patches of light to moderate pitting and oxidation with otherwise strong rifling. The metal surfaces of this revolver retain a generous amount of an old arsenal-quality refurbished rust blue finish that is taking on a deep plum-brown tone under bright light, also showing some scattered light pitting, old oxidation speckling and some dings mostly along the edges of the cylinder. The chambers have been reamed out slightly for some reason, though appear to still only chamber 44 S&W Rus-

rear left side of the frame shows boxed “1874” date and the smooth walnut grips remain in very good condition having darkened from the years and showing some scattered mild abrasions and old dings. The right panel is properly stamp-numbered matching the frame and their fit remains quite good overall. The lanyard ring is intact and the cylinder is matching the frame. The barrel and latch are not serial-numbered though the inside edge of the barrel is stamp-numbered matching the frame with an as sembly number “12”. Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. A very respectable and desirable revolver for the martial collector, even more interesting with its AustroHungarian connection. (13B10860-70) {ANTIQUE} [David Rose Collection] (1800/2200)

serial #W101943, 45 ACP, 5” replacement High Standard barrel with a fair-good bore showing light pitting and oxidation its full-length, a bit of erosion and good rifling.

The chamber shows British export proofs for 45 ACP, indicating the barrel was likely with the gun prior to official release. The checkered double diamond walnut grips remain in very good condition showing scattered light dings and scuffs. One unmarked 45 ACP magazine is included and the action seems to function well mechanically. (13A11112-46) {C&R} (1800/2200)

The trigger and back surface of the hammer retain some good brilliant fire blue and all markings remain intact and strong, the barrel showing Hartford and London Pall Mall addresses and the triggerguard marked “455 CAL/ E”. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and toning to deep brown otherwise retaining nice well-defined Rampant Colts and the right panel is properly pencilnumbered to the gun. The front sight shows an old impact mark that is mostly unobtrusive, the lanyard ring appears to be an old period replacement and the cylinder is numbered matching the frame. The action seems to function normally in both single and double action with very good timing and lock-up. A very respectable British configuration Colt double ac(1000/1500)

Drops are 1 5/8” and 2 5/8” and weight is 7 lbs. 4 oz. Equipped with automatic safety and large silver bead front sight, lock-up is solid on-face with the top lever right of center. The forend is a little stiff to remove and install and the barrels have been numbered to the gun. The action seems to function well mechanically with strong ejectors. Equipped with fine barrels from the renowned Sodia gunmaking family, this attractive Parker will probably be a lovely choice for the fall bird season. (13B10636-5) {C&R} (1500/2500)

The arm comes in a very nice period-constructed walnut box, fitted to the gun, with a small steel cleaning rod within the lid. The leather handle has come unfastened but certainly one could easily be made if one wished. The front sight is a Lyman No. 4 hunting sight with the white insert no longer present, the rear is a simple Lyman two-leaf No. 6 folding sight, one of the leaves is missing and the dovetail is shimmed to accommodate the narrow sight. A very respectable and attractive antique Hunters Pet with the bonus of the nice period casing. (3A10860-69) {ANTIQUE} [David Rose Collection] (1200/1800)

serial #156957, 45-70 Govt., 32 5/8” barrel with a mostly bright about very good bore showing scattered patches of light pitting and oxidation. Approximately 1,014 Model 1880 Trapdoor rifles were produced for field evaluations to determine the suitability of an integral ramrod bayonet rather than a separate socket bayonet and scabbard. It was hoped this new rifle would reduce the individual soldier’s burden by 10 oz. while saving the government $0.92 each as no scabbard would be necessary. The metal surfaces have aged to an overall light-moderately oxidized brown patina with light pitting throughout becoming heavy in the front sight area and remnants of original blue in a few protected areas, while the rear of the receiver is a smoky case-hardened patina and the underside of the breechblock retains vibrant case-hardened colors. “U.S. / SPRINGFIELD” on the lockplate is partially obscured while all other markings are clear.

Thus, these experimental rifles were withdrawn from service and the program dropped, making them today both scarce and highly-collectable. (23A11174-2) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

The action will require me chanical attention as the hand appears to be jammed and does not rotate the cylinder though the hammer cocks normally. A very good long-barreled Colt Police.

in very good condition showing the expected scattered light dings and mild abrasions, the short handguard with some thin cracks and the right side of the forend showing a 3 1/2” x 1 1/2” wooden patch repair. The right side of the butt retains strong original markings along with Canadian “M & D” stamp. The clearing rod has been lost to the years and the bolt and rear sight leaf are mismatched from the action. The barrel is matching the action, and the magazine chain is intact along with the cutoff, volley sights and dust cover. A brass oiler is also housed within the butt. A nice example of a desirable early Lee rifle. (13A11143-11) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

The bolt is also toning to gray and all markings otherwise remai intact and strong, the barrel shank and receiver showing Balle N update stamp. The smooth walnut stocks remain in about very good condition showing overall light dings and mild abrasions, the buttstock with a few thin cracks near where it meets the action. The forend shows a few old repairs and a peculiar 1 1/2” relieved area on either side near the rear sight and another shallow relieved area along the left rear corner of the forend. The buttstock, floorplate and bolt body have been arsenal-renumbered to match the barrel, the forend also faintly numbered matching and the bolt head appears to be mismatched. The action seems to function well mechanically. Amazingly this first year production Chattelerault has apparently managed to keep its original barrel through all of its years of service and interwar updates. (13A11143-15) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

All of the serialized parts are matching, an original cleaning rod and front sight hood are present and the action seems to function well mechanically. The rifle also includes an original brown leather sling that is clearly marked “cvk 40” and remains in very good condition. This is an attractive example of an early war J.P.

strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this rifle have mostly toned to a deep gray and mild graybrown patina showing some overall lightly cleaned smoothed-over pitting and old oxidation. The exposed areas of the hammer, breechblock and lever retain some remnants of silvery case-hardening, mostly toning to a nice gray patina. The interior of the breechblock retains a healthy amount of vibrant case-hardened colors and the markings have softened somewhat from the years otherwise remaining entirely intact and legible.

The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in about good condition as cleaned and refinished showing some thin cracks where the buttstock meets the frame, light dings and numerous small synthetic filler repairs scattered throughout, more prominently along the forend. The manual extractor handle is an old knurled replacement and the original sporting sights are intact. All of the serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically.

The top lever and triggerguard retain about 97% original blue while the single selective trigger shows strong gold wash. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and the checkering with some mild soiling and light wear.

Shotgun features automatic safety, single large white bead front sight and mechanical trigger, and the barrels lock up tight on-face. The action will require a little mechanical attention as sometimes the second barrel does not fire; the ejectors otherwise seem to function normally.

The action and lockplates are embellished in near full coverage with nice foliate scrollwork and light bordering, and forest game scenes with buck, doe and fawn on the left and right lockplates and bottom metal of action. The scenes have a somewhat folksy appearance and are rather endearing, the work signed by L.G. Franco. The single selective mechanical trigger shows strong gold wash and the selector itself some vibrant case-hardened colors while the lockplate pins show slightly fading gold wash. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition showing a few light handling marks and tiny flakes in the gloss finish.

The left-side barrel shank shows cartridge designation while the right is stamped “APEX” and the left-side receiver ring shows Weatherby South Gate address, partially obscured by the wood line. The smooth pistolgrip Monte Carlo stock with right-side cheekpiece appears to be Weatherby’s California mesquite and remains in very fine condition showing a bit of older added semi-gloss varnish and a few scattered minor dings and handling marks. Stock features contrasting accents with white diamond inlay on pistolgrip, sling swivel studs and solid black rubber Weatherby pad. There are two drilled and tapped holes at the rear right-side receiver ring and the standard four atop. The action with Jaeger trigger seems to function well mechanically.

serial #7148, 30 Luger, 4 3/4” barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some scattered fine oxidation or mild frosting and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This pistol lies extremely close to the published trials range, in fact it is only one gun away from one of the known serial numbers purchased by Bannerman from the government (#7147), so no doubt is a bona fide trials pistol. It retains the proper features associated with test guns including lack of all proofs and no ''GERMANY'' stamp, although the serial number is visible on the right-side exterior of the takedown lever

stronger under ambient light and thinning overall to a deep gunmetal gray patina under bright light, showing the expected scattered light dings and mild oxidation speckling. There are a couple more moderate but small dings on the left side frame below the toggle knob and there is one small peculiar drilled hole through the heel of the frame, the exact purpose of which is unknown. The small parts re tain a hint of faded straw color and all markings remain intact and strong with very nice Federal Eagle atop the chamber. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good con dition having darkened from the years and showing scattered light dings and a thin 1” crack at the top edge of the right panel. Both grips are stamp-numbered “71” but have obviously been with the gun for some time and otherwise fit very well. The remaining se rialized parts are matching, the un-grooved firing pin being un-numbered. The grip safety spring was replaced with an ad-hoc piece of flat spring steel that serves its purpose and the action seems to function well mechanically. The pistol includes one original unmarked bright-bodied wood base magazine in very good plus condition. This is a very good example of a desirable pistol for the advanced martial collector; it has seen honest use and reflects the appearance one would expect from these heavily tested pistols.

The black checkered plastic grips with Rampant Colt and Federal Eagle are later replacements and remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light handling marks. The mainspring has been replaced with a lighter spring, the hammer is crisp and timing is very good though the bolt is somewhat worn resulting in lock-up being off. (13B11139-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The hammer screw is a more modern replacement and the New York barrel address and “COLTS PATENT” on the frame remain intact and strong. The naval engagement

grip remains in good condition as lightly cleaned and revarnished showing some scattered light handling marks and a few areas thinned down somewhat on both sides. The ink number along the inside backstrap inlet is very faint but appears to be matching and there are no longer any apparent inspector cartouches on the exterior though a sub-inspector stamp is present on the base. Strangely, the cylinder is numbered “4209”, one would almost think it a factory error as it has ob viously been with this gun for some time, perhaps it swapped with another closely numbered gun during service. Four of the cylinder safety pins remain largely intact and the remaining serialized parts are matching including the wedge. The action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. This rather early 1860 Army has a lot of character and remains a solid example. (13B10574-174) {ANTIQUE}

The smooth walnut grip is ink-numbered matching along the backstrap inlet and remains in about very good condition showing mostly worn varnish and some moderate wear along the bottom edges. A few screws are later replacements, namely the wedge screw and bottom backstrap screw that is somewhat ill-fitted, the wedge spring is broken and the mainspring is a replacement. All of the serialized parts are matching including the wedge and the action seems to function normally with good timing and lock-up. (13A10574-175) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

The frame retains about 98% nice vibrant case-hardened colors showing just a few light handling marks and some very subtle muting along the topstrap. The polished sides of the hammer

pears to be a replacement as it is not quite fitted perfectly. All markings remain crisp and clear and the black checkered synthetic grips with Rampant Colt and Federal Eagle remain in very fine condition showing some thin scratches along the bases and other light handling marks. The hammer is crisp and the action seems to function well mechan ically with solid timing and lock-up. The revolver includes a later unlabeled blue factory plastic case and paperwork. This second generation has seen some light honest use and remains in fine condition. (13B11162-2) {C&R}

been converted to a breechloader taking some sort of self-contained cartridge or shell. The tube shows attractive cast-in-relief foliate bands and motifs, with a spiked crown motif ahead of the trunnions. The tube remains in about fine condition showing a lightly pitted surface overall, a very old 5/8” chunk missing from one edge of the muzzle face and other old dings from the years. The bronze has taken on a very lovely deep gray-green tarnish overall, maintaining a fine honest appearance. The tube is neatly engraved behind the trunnions in fancy script with what appears to be “Ma P S”, this also appearing to have been applied over a previous marking. Below this is what appears to be “12 1/2”. The pivot pintle is of iron as are all of the breechblock components, all toned to a deep oxi dized brown patina with moderate old pitting. The simple breech block locks into two L-shaped arms, pivots up and is equipped with a rudimentary floating firing pin. There is a simple sliding manual extractor provided and the breech is in fact cut for a rimmed shell or cartridge, the cutout measuring about 1 3/8” in diameter. The cannon is mounted on a green marble block measuring about 5 3/4” x 5 3/4” x 4 1/2” that shows a few shallow old chips and dings. Weight of the cannon is about 27 lbs. while the marble block itself is about 19 lbs. This is a wonderful and intriguing little cannon perfect for display. [Extra Shipping Will Apply]

295. SMITH & WESSON MODEL 29-2 DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER

U.S.A.F. CONTRACT COMBAT MASTERPIECE REVOLVER

serial #K504852, 38 Special, 2” pinned heavy barrel with an excellent bore. The bulk of the 15,205 revolvers purchased by the U.S. Air Force were in the 19621963 time-period. Unfortunately, most of these Air Force guns were later destroyed in Brunswick, Georgia, making the few remaining specimens a rare find for the advanced military arms collector. This gun retains about 80-82% original blue, the backstrap and portions of the cylinder have toned to brown with a mottled mix of brown, blue, and pewter on the remaining grip frame. The gun shows scattered edge wear, light oxidation blemishes, and handling marks commensurate with a military firearm. The service trigger and hammer retain robust casehardened colors with light operational wear and minor freckling. The diamond checkered walnut factory square butt Magna grips are numbered to the gun, they feature silver S&W medallions, and rate good to very good showing scattered handling marks with light wear on the diamond points.

The initial Air Force order specified a 2” K-frame square butt target re volver and Smith & Wesson responded by slightly altering the frame of the Model 15 to accept the heavy barrel, they lengthened the rear sight leaf so it would contact the base of the Baughman ramp front sight, left the backstrap smooth, and designated it the Model 56. Its popularity led to the cataloguing of the Model 15 two inch barreled revolver and the Model 56 designation was dropped and never used again. With production halted and bulk of the government guns destroyed it has become a very sought after collectible. The re volver correctly times and locks up. The left side of the rear sight slider is bent down but still provides an adequate sight picture while the backstrap has the correct “U.S.” marking. As with many of these rare guns, it has seen honest use over the years although it remains a very desirable military collectible. An envious acquisition for the advanced collector.

RIFLE-MUSKET WITH CONFEDERATE AND 28TH MA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY REGIMENT MARKINGS

rifle bears a clear block “J.S” in circle by the buttplate tang which Tim Prince, one of the authors of The English Connection (pages 112-113), suggests are likely the initials of John Southgate, an English contract viewer in the employ of Confederate authorities. Interestingly, the tang of the brass buttplate also shows a clear “D 28th MASS 81” for Company D of that regiment. Mr. Prince explained to the author of this description that multiple Massachusetts regiments were issued with rifles purchased from prize court auctions after Confederate blockade runners were captured by the Union navy. The 28th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment was raised in Boston, MA and began active service in 1862; it was the second primarily-Irish American volunteer regiment, and would see action in most of the major campaigns in the east. The iron surfaces are toning to a light-moderately oxidized blend of dull gray and brown patina with overall pinprick pitting and some areas of fine cleaning striations along the barrel. There is a 1 1/4”x 3/4” rectangular patch of smoother metal where the original rear sight was, that has been dovetailed for a Winchester carbine rear sight. The upper barrel band is a from a later Springfield Armory rifle with characteristic “U” and it retains about 95% original blue with some areas of wear toning to gray. The brass buttplate and triggerguard have aged to a warm goldenrod patina with small impact marks on the buttplate and some light tarnish. The lockplate bears a crown behind the hammer and “1861 / TOWER” ahead and the left side of the breech shows Birmingham proofs and the remnant of the bore diameter of which only the “2” remains clear. The forend of the walnut stock has been shortened and reprofiled; the stock rates about fine with the expected dents and light handling marks from service along with mottled remnants of multiple added finishes. There are British acceptance stamps behind the triggerguard and “MOXHAM” is stamped on the toe line. A shortened cupped trumpet-head ramrod is included along with a brown leather sling showing moderate crazing but remaining supple, the front sight is a dovetailed triangular blade replacement and the action is strong and crisp. The 28th MA Volunteer infantry suffered the seventh most casualties of all Union regiments with roughly 25% of the 1,746 men who served having been killed, died of wounds or disease, taken prisoner, or reported missing. An interesting Civil War rifle that was built for the Confederates, but issued to the Union, and which has clearly seen a thing or two.

The lockplate shows a strong “MIDDtn / CONN / 1851” and “US / H.ASTON & CO.” is ahead of the hammer. The walnut stock rates very fine with some scattered minor handling marks and features two clear cartouches on the left stock flat. The swiveling ramrod works as designed, and the action of this very nice example of a Model 1842 appears to function well mechanically.

serial #433, .31 cal, 3” five-barrel cluster with oxidized bores.

554. UNMARKED BRITISH PERCUSSION CANE GUN

About .50 cal, 28 5/8” smoothbore barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some areas of light pitting and mild oxidation. This is an interesting all-metal antique cane gun measuring 35” overall with stag handle. The iron body was originally painted with a heavy enameltype paint in a simulated rosewood grain pattern, perhaps 70% of this original paint remains showing overall flaking and a few areas of light to moderate oxidation. They are rather faint but the body does show a pair of period Birmingham proof marks just visible beneath the paint. The system employs the usual bar hammer with concealed trigger, the hammer with a small hole for looping in some sort of cocking aid, currently a thin bit of copper wire. The side of the hammer is marked only “PATENT” and stamped with a “4”. There is a brass ferrule present and the stag handle is rather loose but otherwise remains in fine condition with nice bark and an attractive patina. The end of the handle is also stamped with a “4”, there is a small brass blade front sight and the action seems to function normally. An attractive cane gun for the collector of antique arms curiosa.

A nice example of the large frame pocket rifle. (13A11057-1) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

buttstock and forend remain in about very good condition showing a bit of older added finish with scattered light dings and handling marks. The buttstock shows a number of thin cracks behind the upper tang and a small repaired chip at the top left corner where it meets the frame that is starting to come loose again. The original buttplate is intact and a little proud of the wood and one triggerguard screw is missing. Length-of-pull is 14” with drops of 1 7/8” and 3” and barrel lock-up is solid on-face with top lever resting about center. Equipped with automatic safety, the action seems to function well mechanically, the left ejector perhaps a little weak but the right is robust. (13A9771-14) {C&R} (600/800)

The original hard rubber shotgun buttplate is intact showing a small synthetic repair at the toe. All of the serialized parts are matching, the rear sight dovetail is vacant and the rifle is sighted with a Lyman tang peep sight and Lyman No. 5 combination front sight.

rels choked modified and full with moderately pitted bores showing a few shallow light dents and scattered bright areas.

There are softened remnants of rudimentary checkering visible, a factory hard rubber pistolgrip cap is present along with an older replacement nickel-plated brass crescent buttplate. The barrel is fitted with a pair of target blocks and no other provisions for sights and the action seems to function well mechanically. The rim of the chamber appears to be very close to a 30-30 case and a proper chamber cast should be performed to determine the exact cartridge this rifle is intended for.

excellent bores. This was a Belgian proofed double hammergun whose breech was mono-blocked and the barrels sleeved with rather heavy 45-70 barrels and converted it to a double rifle. The rib is engraved in script “Cal. .45-70405 Rem. Conversion by Sanden”, the barrels retaining about 97% hot immersion blue. The frame and back action locks are a tarnished pewter gray patina and show overall oak leaf and acorn engraving chiseled-in-relief on the fences, continuing onto the hammers and bow of the triggerguard, the guard with some light brown oxidation. The checkered round knob European walnut buttstock rates very good as lightly refinished years ago, retaining some light dings and handling marks beneath, the splinter forend worn nearly smooth. The length of pull to the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad is 14 1/2''. The arm locks up with dual under bites and wedge-style rib extension and exhibits some very light lateral play with a very tiny whisper of light visible on the right tube. The arm is sighted with a hooded sporting ramp front sight and two leaf rear, atop a custom-made quarter rib, one standing, one folding. It does not appear to have been regulated yet. The firing pins are somewhat mushroomed and the firing pin bushings left and right are cracked and should be replaced. Mr. Dan Sanden is a farmer and former selectman in Phillipson Mass and studied gunsmithing in the 1960s at Trinidad State Junior College in Colorado. As with all arms of custom construction, a qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine the fitness of this arm for any type of service prior to use.

92% original blue with most of the loss due to a few mottled areas around the address that are toning to gray that appear to be some areas of light pinprick pitting that have been touched-up but it is relatively unobtrusive.

Strangely this example is pictured twice in Frank Wesson Gunmaker Volume Two by Woods, Littlefield, Rowe, Pellett & Hamilton, first on page 166 as a small frame fifth type, and then on page 175 as a medium frame first type. The gun has the external half cock of the second type and the measurements are more consistent with a medium frame. (13A10860-65) {ANTIQUE} [David Rose Collection] (600/800)

The all blue in 22 LR configuration comprised the largest variation of the walnut stocked revolvers. A scarce and desirable variation to enhance your 22 Scout collection. (8A11157-4)

The receiver appears entirely unmarked, the barrel reading “BROWNING ARMS COMPANY / MADE IN BELGIUM” on the left with a Belgian proof, the right marked with the serial number near the chamber and “CALIBER 30.06 ONLY / PATENT PENDING”. The rifle retains a ramped bead-on-blade front sight and folding adjustable u-notch rear sight, and mounted to the receiver via Weaver pivot mount 1” rings is a Redfield 4x scope with clear glass and a duplex reticle.

follower retain strong original blue and the striker appears neatly polished bright. The pistolgrip walnut “C” stock is in very good condition with an about 3/4” flake forming at the rear of the receiver and a few light handling marks, and the stock is utterly devoid of markings; the handguard is in very good plus condition with a darker military finish and some scattered light handling marks.

The rifle has been equipped with a Lyman target-style globe front sight and a Lyman aperture rear sight mounted to the right side of the rear receiver ring, and the rifle appears to function well mechanically; no aperture or stacking swivels are present, and the follower has been cut to remove the hold-open feature. After the conclusion of WWII and the resumption of the National Matches in 1951, a project was put forward to assemble match rifles from remaining stocks of qualified 1903-A3 rifles. While that project was cancelled after producing only 140 rifles, shooters often upgraded their rifles on their own and this is a fine example of such.

ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE BIDDING INFORMATION

ABSENTEE BIDDING

We are often asked various questions by absentee bidders after a sale regarding why they did or didn't get an item they bid on. We would like to clarify how absentee bidding works so strategies may be altered to maximize effectiveness.

First, absentee bidders are bidding against other absentee bidders, bidders in attendance and those bidding live via online platforms If two absentee bids are received for the same amount, the one received first takes precedence. If two or more absentee bids are received for a particular item (which is usually the case) we open the bidding at one increment above the lower bid. Example.. bidder "A" bids $375 and bidder "B" bids $450 on the same item, the bidding will open at $400 and the floor competes from there. If bidder "A" bid $450 and bidder "B" bid $450+, the bidding would open with bidder "B" at $475. This brings us to another situation. Absentee bidders sometimes use odd bidding techniques for example bidding $401 or $51 or $76. This is normally much more of a disadvantage than an advantage for the following reasons. A $400+ beats $401 or even $410 for that matter because the smallest increment we would use is $25. When the normal increments are broken it can work against the bidder; example: bidder "A" bids $401 and the bid ends up on the floor (by chance only) at $400. We bid $401 which first off, immediately indicates that the bid is at its maximum point and secondly we will take a bid of $402 and sell it to the floor when normally we would need at least an increment of $25.

The plus is normally used to break a tie, however we will not take an item away from a bidder who bid $400+ for an increment less than the next normal increment. Therefore odd bidding doesn't usually work to a bidders' advantage. Also a bid of $401+ is useless because the bidding would never tie at such an odd increment so a bid of $400+ is more effective as the plus is more likely to come into play.

Multiple plus bids are also difficult for us to execute. A bid of $400+++ leaves many variables. In $25 increments if it indeed ties at $400 equals $525; i.e. the floor bids $400, we bid $425 (first plus) the floor bids $450, we bid $475 (second plus), the floor bids $500, we bid $525 (third plus). This is multiplied doubly if we use $50 increments placing the $400+++ bid at $650 in the same scenario. Therefore we ask that bidders bid as high as they are willing to go and if they wish to break a possible tie to use a single plus.

We have been asked by bidders why they, who bid $500+ on an item, didn't get it when it sold at $550. The reason is simple, a tie did not occur. This again is an example of a bidder not understanding the purpose of the plus and that there is only a certain percentage of the time when a tie does occur.

We value our absentee bid business greatly and we treat our bidders fairly. You can feel comfortable bidding as much as you wish and you only need to outbid another bidder. On several occasions bidders have questioned our use of this policy because they felt they got most items near or at their top bid. We have thousands of customers, many of these customers share similar interests. Desirable items receive heavy absentee bid activity, many times they open quite high on crossing absentee bids. Occasionally a good item either gets cataloged without our realizing its value or gets inadvertently buried in the second half of the catalog. We obviously try not to let this happen but being realists, we know that it does happen from time to time. We are shocked at how well read our catalogs are and it is not uncommon to receive ten or more absentee bids on such an item.

RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEDNESDAY FOLLOWING THE SALE.

TELEPHONE BIDDING

Our advice to telephone bidders and all bidders for that matter is to have a stop point in mind and bid actively to that point, then if you need some time to think you can. Telephone bidders are wise to let an item slow down before they start trying to bid, when bidding is moving quickly a phone bidder cannot get a bid in before the bid advances on the floor. One wise technique is to give the staff member a stop point when the bidding opens. Say the bid is at $400 and a staff member is told to bid to $800, they can bid like any bidder in the hall until that point and then ask if the phone bidder would like to advance over that point. The most common problem with phone bidders is their not understanding the pace of the auction and over–thinking, or attempting to be a "buzzer beater", let us assure you that the buzzer usually wins.

The ideal telephone bidder responds quickly with a simple "yes" or "bid". Thinking ahead and removing the thoughts of trying to use a "strategy" works best when bidding in that manner.

What we would like all absentee and telephone bidders to remember is that you aren't at the auction. There is no perfect system to assure that all absentee and telephone bidders can bid with the same ease as they could if they were at the sale. We do everything to accommodate absentee bidders and as we said before we value your business greatly. We hope that this information is helpful and as always we are open to comments and suggestions on how we can better serve our customers.

or over 25 years Amoskeag Auction Company has been selling fine arms collections at auction. We are, and always have been, a specialty auction company selling exclusively firearms and related collectibles. Founded by Jason and Melissa Devine in 1997, the company has grown from a small startup gun auction house into one of the most respected companies in the industry with a worldwide reach. We have a very robust customer base built over our many years in business, customers who have grown to trust our descriptions as accurate and fair and our integrity as unwavering. In a business where over 80% of the items sold go to people who have never physically viewed or handled them, trust in your word and knowledge is imperative. We have earned that trust and we value that trust.

All our live auctions are broadcast live on our own online platform, Amoskeag Live, with both audio and video feed of the auctioneer so you can bid like you are in the hall, all from the comfort of your own home. Online bidding services charge up to 5% for customers to use their bidding platforms, our platform works the same way and we offer the service at no extra cost to you. We have a well experienced in-house shipping department and we ship thousands of packages each year to every corner of the U.S.

In addition to our live sales, we also run Timed auctions on our website. These sales generally consist of firearms under $1000 in value as well as hundreds of lots of edged weapons, ammunition, reference books, gun parts, optics, sights and other related items. These items are all lotted in small lots geared toward the retail buyer, not large bulk lots geared for dealers.

Whether you’re a young startup collector, a shooting enthusiast or an astute and advanced collector of the finest antique arms available, we invite you to peruse our auctions for that special piece you have been looking for. Likewise, if you are a collector, estate or trust attorney or a dealer interested in turning inventory into cash, please reach out and we would be happy to explain the advantages of selling with our company.

AUCTION COMPANY, INC. AMOSKEAG

Amoskeag is pleased to announce that we have partnered with the NRA to be the exclusive auction house for their NRA Firearms For Freedom program. Amoskeag will begin selling firearms that have been donated to benefit the NRA with all of the proceeds going to support the NRA, NRA-ILA or one of the four separate 501(c)(3) tax deductible NRA affiliated organizations.

All items being sold to benefit the NRA Firearms For Freedom program will be labeled as such in their own sections of our regular live and timed auctions. From a buyer's perspective, bidding on and buying donated guns will be no different than buying any other gun in the auction, except for the knowledge that your purchase is helping to support the NRA and their unwavering protection of our Second Amendment.

Amoskeag is excited about this new partnership, and we look forward to doing our part to support and protect our industry and America's unique and robust firearms heritage.
