Terms & Conditions We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale before bidding with Dan Morphy Auctions LLC and/or its affiliates Morphy Firearms LLC, and Morphy Auctions, Las Vegas collectively referred to below as MORPHY’S. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), MORPHY’S and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

TERMS OF SALE

When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether or not you read or understand said terms.

CONDITION OF ITEMS

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with Morphy’s in request for additional information regarding the items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. However, we cannot guarantee that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in the property. Returns will not be accepted under any circumstances. All items will be available for preview approximately one (1) month prior to the auction. All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. However, we cannot guarantee that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. AUTOMOBILES – These terms do NOT apply to our automobile auctions. To view the terms and conditions for our Automobile Auctions, please go to: www.morphyauctions.com/autoterms FIREARMS – All firearms transfers will be in strict accordance with all International, Federal, State and local laws. Be sure to check your country, state and local laws before bidding. If you are unable to import, purchase or own a firearm according to your residency laws, do not bid on these items. If you bid and find out later you cannot legally own/accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract that the buyer must pay. • Condition of Firearms and Related Items o Condition is always a subjective evaluation. Final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of items.

It is not possible to adequately describe in text or photos an antique or collectible item, and many modern items, that have seen use and show wear. MORPHY’S’s goal at all times is to be as fair and honest in our catalog descriptions. MORPHY’S recommends that you personally inspect all items, or enlist a trusted professional to do so for you. o MORPHY’S will only consider a refund when there is a major description discrepancy or authenticity issue that has a major effect on value. Examples that apply are major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications. o MORPHY’S will not refund sales with buyers that have disputes regarding a firearm’s bore condition. o If the discrepancy is less than major, MORPHY’S will not under any circumstance provide a refund. This means that if you are purchasing an item and find undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fits issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, and other similar differences, it will not qualify for refund consideration. o Should the buyer have a major dispute regarding an item, the buyer must notify MORPHY’S within three (3) days of receipt of the item to receive consideration. MORPHY’S in its sole discretion may provide refunds for major description discrepancies or authenticity issues. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. o There will be no options for refunds of any type beyond 35 calendar days from the auction date. o Paying late and thus receiving items late will not change the limitation on the dates above for refund consideration. MORPHY’S ships items in order of payment. o These terms are available only to the original buyer of record. All sales are final. • Firearms Catalog Designations o A: antique o M: modern (post 1898), Federal Firearms License (FFL) requirements apply o C: curio & relic eligible o N: National Firearms Act / Title II Gun Control Act of 1968 (Class III SOT) requirements apply o ^:Modern firearm imported from Canada, will have an unassuming marking that contains at least “BV LYNDEN WA” and any of the following not already marked on the firearm: serial number, caliber, country of manufacture, manufacturer name and model. Marking letters are 1/16” tall and just over 0.003” deep. Buyers must consider this in their bidding. Marking will not appear on antique firearms imported from Canada. • Checkout and pickup at our location: o The same person to whom the bidder number is registered must be the person to pick up the firearm(s) at the conclusion of the sale – Federal Law disallows anyone else from accepting the transfer. o Modern firearms sales to non-licensed bidders who are picking up guns at our location will require the completion of a form 4473 background check. (continued...)

GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is

not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective purchasers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential purchasers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential purchaser’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All purchasers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.

If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form.

The M47 Madsen “Lightweight Military Rifle” was the last military bolt action rifle designed to be a primary infantry rifle and it is a bit hard to see just who Madsen thought they could sell it to. The rifle was designed in the late 1940’s and was available for sale in 1951, evidently marketed to countries in South America and Asia without the financial resources to afford any of the semi-automatic rifles that were clearly the new standard for effective military forces. The Madsen was obsolete when it first hit the drawing board and there were loads of surplussed bolt action rifles available from the post-World War II draw down to compete with it on price. Not surprisingly, the gun was a commercial flop. The only country that decided to purchase them was Colombia, which bought a few thousand (in .30-06 caliber, with five round magazines) and ended up never even issuing them. They went into storage until being sold to the US civilian surplus market, although some may have been used for ceremonial purposes. As a result, they tend to be in very good condition when you can find them and are quite good shooters. All metal is a smooth blue-grey mixing with patina. It is all original. Unique military rear sight. Walnut stocks are excellent. Thick, factory-applied rubber buttplate. Barrel is ported. Strong rifling. Interesting and scarce military rifle in a popular caliber. 300.00 - 600.00

LOT - 339

339 - PRISON-MADE FOLK ART PRESENTATION MINING PICK MADE FOR GOVERNOR OF COLORADO BY “LIFER” JOHN COX. This finely decorated prospector’s pick, circa 1903, was made by John Cox. Cox was a master craftsman who learned his trade while serving a life sentence for murder in Canon City Prison in Colorado. He specialized in making spurs for 40 years, with the “Vallejo Star” being his trademark. This pick, known by collector’s as the “Governor’s Pick”, was a special order piece commissioned by Warden John Cleghorn for presentation to Jesse F. McDonald, who was elected to the Colorado Governor’s Office in 1903. He was also the former Mayor of his hometown of Leadville. He was the founder of the Colorado Mining Association. His detailed portrait is featured on the handle, along with Theodore Roosevelt and Henry M. Teller, both close friends of McDonald’s. Teller was a six-term U.S. Senator from Colorado. All three depictions are in relief and finely engraved with accurate detail. The handle also features a portrait of the Governor’s wife, Colorado wildlife depictions, and a dancing Senorita playing guitar. The head has four engraved silver inlays on each side, including one with an elk, a bull chasing a Chinese man, a police officer chasing a Chinese man, two with flowers, and two with bees. Excellent condition, as refinished, showing some minor wear and scattered light marks. The pick remained in the Warden’s Office until 1953, when it was nearly thrown away during a remodeling of the prison. The warden apparently retired to Arizona and took it with him. He used it in his garage to stir paint and after his death, his grand daughter saved it and cleaned the paint off. It was then purchased in 1991 by the former owner. This is one of the finest presentation picks known. 3,000.00 - 5,000.00

447 - EARLY FREDERICK REMINGTON “THE BRONCO BUSTER” BRONZE STATUE. The original numbered version of this statue was produced in 1902. All original Remington bronzes will be numbered; this example is not. The additional castings of this statue have been made from 1902 to present day; many with cheap, lightweight bronze and now offered in every conceivable size. The originals bring upwards of a half million dollars. The next pricing tier for Remington bronzes are those that were made prior to World War II in the same actual size as the originals that were produced by foundries after the original patent had run out. These early castings are quite desirable in that the detail, while not as crisp as the numbered originals, are still as close as one could get to a numbered version. This is such a casting. Most likely produced in the 1930’s as a very heavy bronze, it was cast in the exact size and detail as the original. Like the original, it does not comes with a fancy marble base, bears the impressed Frederick Remington signature, has the original wire lariat and rope. The detail in the casting is amazing, you can still see all the delicate cartridge loops and border tooling on holster. The stirrups swivel. Measures 23-1/8” high, just as the original and is complete with no broken, missing or replaced pieces, nor does it have any repairs. Since most of the original numbered versions are accounted for and the pricing has relegated most known examples to museum collections, these early post-patent castings have soared in value and desirability and not to be confused with the myriad of cheap, modern castings of the last 30 years. 5,000.00 - 15,000.00

This is a relatively scarce pistol in that it was newly made by DWM rather than a re-work, and it is not stamped “Made in Germany” therefore it was not intended as a commercial import. It has the German commercial proof with crown on left side of frame and bottom of barrel. DWM stamped on toggle. All matching numbers except grips not numbered. Blued wood bottom magazine has matching number. As this was a commercial pistol, it has the finely finished metal and rust blue with straw and fire blue parts. As to condition; it has the usual light muzzle wear, some wear on sideplate, and tips of rails. Still retains 90% or better original factory finish. This is a very difficult pistol to find as a newly made commercial not for export, especially in this condition. 1,500.00 - 2,000.00 627 - (C^) PRE-WAR S&W 2ND MODEL HAND EJECTOR .455 REVOLVER.

The Model 1917 was a U.S. military revolver introduced in 1918. It was chambered for the same cartridge as the 1911 semi-automatic and was operated by use of half-moon clips; cartridges were installed in the clips to allow firing and extraction. These were manufactured for the U.S. Government in 1918 and production continued through 1920. This particular example was manufactured in 1919, at about the time of the secession of the hostilities in Europe. It was a six shot, double action with blued finish, smooth two piece walnut grips and lanyard ring. The polishing was not as fine as the commercial models and the finish was a military flat blue rather than the high polish finish given to commercial guns. The bottom of the barrel is stamped “UNITED STATES PROPERTY”. Left side of frame has the “J.M.G.” inspector stamp (John Gilbert). Back of the cylinder has an “H” inspection stamp, as does crane. Left side of frame is stamped with pony. Smooth walnut grips were not inspector stamped. The butt is stamped “U.S. ARMY MODEL 1917” with a military No. 62120.

Prior to Japan’s entrance into the second World War, officers were required to purchase their own side arms. If one wanted a small handgun, the exorbitant price of the Baby Nambu was the catalyst for many Japanese officers to seek less expensive hardware. During this period, numerous handguns were purchased of various makes, with the 1910 Mauser being one of the more popular quality guns purchased. For all intents and purposes it is a standard 1910 with blued finish, matching number on slide and frame, and checkered walnut grips. Magazine number does not match. Retains approximately 60% blue finish with some added finish. Right side of slide has been stamped with Japanese serial No. 2233 with two Japanese characters; one representing the Japanese Army.

Manufacturer: Mauser Model: Broomhandle Serial No. 202858 Caliber: 7.63mm Mauser Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This commercial Broomhandle Model C-96 was manufactured circa 1911. Left side of barrel has the German “U” with crown proof mark. All matching numbers. Standard configuration with factory presentation nickel finish. Left side of magazine well is stamped “An FELIX GRAF von LUCKNER SEINE BESTEN GLÜCKWÜNSCHE AUSSPRICHT Kaiser Wilhelm II 9. JUNI 1912”. The rear sight, extractor, trigger, and safety are Nitre blue. The walnut grips have 32 thin serrations. Has a nickel plated lanyard ring. Special solid walnut stock that is not equipped as a holster and does not open up., nickel plate trim and ivory buttplate with Nitre blue screws. Left grip panel has a gold plated oval with the initials “F.G” for Felix Graf von Luckner. Von Lucker was born on June 9th, 1881 and was called up to the German Navy in February of 1912, and served on the gun boat S.M.S. Panther. This pistol was apparently given to Felix on his birthday the year he was called up as a Naval officer. He was a German war hero during the first war and was noted as capturing 14 enemy ships while aboard the Seeadler (the Sea Eagle). His nickname was the “Sea Devil” (Der Seeteufel) and his crew were referred to as the Emperor’s Pirates (Die Piraten des Kaiser) during his service between 1916 and 1917. He was a German nobleman, Naval officer and author. He saw action in the early months of 1914 commanding a gun turret battleship, becoming a merchant raider. The Seeadler left port on December 21st, 1916 under his command. Luckner’s military record while on board the Seeadler was nothing short of phenomenal making him a hero of the German people. He wrote a book about his war-time adventures in 1921. In 1926 he raised funds of a sailing ship called the Vaterland and sent out on a goodwill mission around the world leaving Bremen on September 19th and arrived at New York City on October 22nd, 1926. Upon his arrival, Henry Ford presented him with a motor car and became an honorary member of San Francisco. This pistol remains in near mint condition, retaining nearly all of its original finish and showing no signs of any use. Mint bore. Stock has minor storage impressions. Extremely handsome and historic one of a kind Broomhandle Mauser. This exquisite presentation Broomhandle originates from the family of Julius Gassner, whose passport lists his profession as garcon. A profile of him lists Maitre d’ Hotel New York Athletic Club. He was born in Vienna in 1891 and moved to the U.S. in 1915. To substantiate this family connection, there is an autographed photo, dated 1930-31, autographed by Felix Luckner to Julius Gassner. The image shows Luckner in full Naval uniform with all of his medals. According to the family letter written by Jules Gassner, Julius was their grandfather, died in 1967, letter is dated 1996. It recalls the first observation of this pistol in 1953 at Julius’ summer home in Belgrade Lakes, Maine. According to the family, Julius and Luckner were acquainted prior to World War I when both were in Canada, after the war he encountered Luckner in New York in 1931, at that time Julius acquired the pistol from Luckner. Pistol remained in his possession until 1967 and was given to a cousin who was a D.C. attorney. Jules Gassner acquired the pistol upon his death in the 1980’s. It notes that a fitted case once accompanied this pistol but has disappeared and is now presented in a period oak carry case. Given the military fame of Felix Luckner, the custom finish, the presentation by the Kaiser makes this one of the most spectacular Broomhandle Mauser pistols to ever appear at market. 25,000.00 - 35,000.00

LOT - 725

According to the factory letter, this pistol was shipped to V L & A on September 5th, 1908 in a shipment of ten guns. Colt Model 1903 was very popular with the Japanese officers. Numerous examples were purchased directly by them between 1919 and 1939. Many more were shipped to the Philippine Islands, Thailand and Java, and were subsequently confiscated by Japanese authorities. There are no Japanese markings on the gun itself, but it has an old wooden ID tag attached to trigger guard that was rounded up at the end of the second World War. Early features include the type one barrel bushing, high polish finish with Nitre blue small parts, pony at rear of slide in full circle, first style Colt black composite grips with “COLT” with scalloped edges and pony in full circle, rounded first type sights and first type full blued seven hole magazine with high polish plain base. It was well known that the military officers purchased their side arms privately or obtained them through confiscation, a rough translation of the four character wooden tag is as follows: first character is “Mizu” or “Sui” which is water; second character is “Naga” or “Cho” meaning length; third character is an “O” or “Ko” which means small, and fourth character is “Hara” for field. Mizu-Naga family name or Sui-Cho title or nickname; and the latter two characters meaning O-Hara or Ko-Hara which is a family name. A very similar holster with an embroidered Japanese Army star can be found on page 289 in the book “Japanese Military Cartridge Handguns 1893-1945”. Holster has a place for an extra magazine pouch and two handwritten Japanese characters on outer body. Pistol is all original and retains approximately 60% of the original factory high polish blue with traces of Nitre blue on trigger, extractor, rear sight safety and pins.

These were manufactured by Mauser expressly for A.F. Stoeger Inc., New York. These were sold in the U.S. in the mid-1930’s.

735 - (C) EARLIEST KNOWN FACTORY NICKEL COLT PYTHON DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER SHIPPED MAY 1959. Manufacturer: Colt Model: Python Serial No. 5955 Caliber: .357 Magnum Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Colt did not begin offering nickel plating on the Colt Python until 1963, but like anything else, people with enough pull could usually get what they want. According to the serial number on this gun, the frame was built in 1958. Factory letter states that this gun was sent as a 6” nickel revolver in a shipment of one to Frank Weldon at the Blue Island Gun Shop in Blue Island, Illinois on May 28th, 1959. One can surmise that when the order came in, this person was A) a special client and B) and that they grabbed an already existing and assembled frame and built what we believe is now currently the earliest shipped factory recorded nickel revolver ever shipped. Cylinder shows little to no signs of any burn. It is a full nickel gun with the matte top, satin nickel adjustable rear sight base with polished sides, nickel hammer and trigger, with the correct fully checkered type one walnut grips with proper gold medallion. Aside from a light drag line, condition appears to be near new. Grips are near mint to mint. Comes in an original Colt walnut type two piece box, numbered on bottom in marker. End label lists as a 6” blue, which makes sense since the nickel revolver did not exist. Wax paper, warranty card and key chain screwdriver inside. Gun is brilliant and would be unimprovable if it was made in the 1990’s. Phenomenal for a gun shipped in the 1950’s. As Python collections are defined by their rarities, early guns, and conditions, it would be impossible to find an earlier higher grade example of a factory nickel Python and would be a prize in any collection. 12,000.00 - 18,000.00

Given the fact that the Model 1911’s issued in 1917 were generally heavily used during the first World War, were recalled and rebuilt for World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It is always a wonder when an original 1917 surfaces that has seen little to know use and has never been altered or updated. This is such an example. Left side of frame is stamped “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” and has the “GHS” inspector stamp on left side for Gilbert H. Stewart - 1915 to 1918. Right side of slide is stamped “MODEL OF 1911 US ARMY”. Left side of slide has the patent dates and the standing pony at rear.

Production began at the Krieghoff plant for a special run of Lugers for the German Luftwaffe in 1934. Production reached approximately 9,000 pistols between 1934 and 1937. The earliest full dated chamber was 1936. After 1937, total production of guns from 1938 to 1945, all with full dates on chambers, was a mere additional 2,000 guns, with 100 attributed to 1940. All fall within the certain serial number block (11,000 to 12,000). These weapons were finely finished in an almost commercial style blue. This example features all matching numbers to include the aluminum bottom magazine. Finish is blue with straw and Nitre blue small parts. Sports a pair of black plastic Mauser-type grips. Chamber is stamped 1940. Toggle is stamped “HK” with big anchor and “Krieghoff Suhl”. Inside grip frame has the six-point star inspector stamp.

Serial No. 2136 has some blue wear to the cylinder pin only and revolver finish is also basically 100%. Neither cylinder shows any burn and the grips are near mint to mint on both (No. 2135 does have a dark oil spot). The letters reveal the interesting way in which Colts were shipped: 2135 was shipped as a 6” royal blue to the Seminole Gun Shop, Miami, Florida on March 19th, 1957 in a shipment of six guns; while 2136, a royal blue 6”, was shipped to Sam Engbar, owner of Sam’s Loan & Jewelry Company in Pocotello, Idaho on March 12th, 1957 in a shipment of two guns. So, the later gun was actually shipped seven days earlier than the earlier numbered gun. Both revolvers come in original first type Colt Python boxes with proper end labels. Both have pre-zip code warranty cards and handling instructions, and a copy of original type instructions along with period wax paper. Both boxes with the wood grain outer and emerald green interior. It is obvious that consecutive pairs are not sent consecutively, nor in the order of serial numbering. While the serious collector may find consecutive numbered guns in their search, finding an earlier pair would be extremely difficult and is virtually unheard of currently. 12,000.00 - 18,000.00

Publications: “The Antique Bowie Knife Book” by Adams, Voyles, Moss (1990), p.100-101 “Steel Canvas, The Art of American Arms” by R.L. Wilson (1995), p.202 “The Bowie Knife, Unsheathing an American Legend” by Norm Flayderman (2004), p.316 One of the most desirable Bowie knife styles, truly a classic among American Bowie knives. Henry Schively was one of the leading surgical instrument makers of his day and in the early 1830’s Rezin Bowie himself sought Schively out and commissioned a knife which was subsequently presented to Jesse Perkins, and now resides in a Mississippi museum. Schively is thought to be among the cutlers referred to by Rezin as being responsible for “The improvement in [the Bowie knife’s] fabrication, and the state of perfection which it has since acquired...”, which led the pioneering researcher/writer W.R. Williamson to term this style of Schively the “Improved Pattern”. These early knives influenced the many that followed (including the USN’s Dahlgren Bowie-bayonet) and even Davy Crockett owned one. The extreme rarity of examples is not reflected by the grouping available in this auction – in fact, until very recently no “Improved Pattern” Schively had ever been offered at public auction and in this sale a high percentage of the known examples will be sold. A rare opportunity indeed. 40,000.00 - 60,000.00

Johnston (n.d.), p.129 “The Antique Bowie Knife Book” by Adams, Voyles, Moss (1990), pp.54-55. Butterfield & Butterfield “The Antique Bowie Knife Collections of Robert Berryman and Chas. Schreiner III”, sale #4838A (1992), pp.28-29 This style of knife, which was made in Sheffield, appears to have been offered for sale in a July, 1836 advertisement for the firm in the New York Morning Courier, which lists for sale “ARKANSAS, TEXAS and HUNTERS knives”. As the blade etch indicates, this was marketed as the “Arkansas” style of knife. This particular knife’s association with Tah Chee comes from Abels illustrating his books with this knife accompanied by an 1838 lithograph of the Cherokee chief; Tah Chee wears a similar guardless coffin bowie in his sash. The original portrait was painted in early 1837, and Tah Chee is known to have resided in southern Arkansas and northeast Texas. 30,000.00 - 50,000.00

Manufactured in 1900. These stout weapons were a mainstay at prisons and used for guarding trains, banks and express wagons throughout the country. Rarely do you find an early third year production with the scarce solid frame and round knob stock. This shotgun has all the early features including a grooved full round walnut forend with three screws and a smooth steel shotgun buttplate. Finish is blued and the screws retain nearly all of the original early high polish Nitre blue. Legends are perfect. The barrel and forward section of the magazine retain 95% or better original factory blue. Frame retains approximately 40-50% of the brilliant Winchester high polish blue finish with balance gun metal grey patina. Stocks are excellent with no visible cracks. Left side of barrel is stamped “CYL” for cylinder bore. Has a single bead sight. Action is perfect. Excellent shiny bore. This is one of the finest early round knob factory riot guns we have encountered. They are never seen this early with round knob in such high original condition. Now for the rub, factory letter states that this shotgun left the factory with a 20” barrel, it is presently 18”. Front sight bead set back is 1/2”. There is no roughness at muzzle and appears to be either factory or professionally shortened, or may simply be a recording error at the factory, because it is hard to imagine that such a high condition, lightly used shotgun of this era would retain such high condition and yet someone would take 2” off of the barrel. Regardless of whether it was taken down or mis-recorded, we will let the buyer decide. Either way, a beautiful, early riot gun. 800.00 - 1,400.00

They are credited with the invention of smokeless powder and by the 1890’s were producing 400 types of cartridges. All Eley production was transferred to the Nobel’s factory in 1921. Using this information, we would date this cartridge board to the turn of the century as the sign advertises their location at 29 and 30 Whittall Street, Birmingham. Framed under glass, in a classic oak frame, measuring 25-1/2” x 31-1/2”. This rare commercial merchandise board displays over 90 examples of the brass and pasteboard cartridges available from the Eley firm to the retail shooting customer of the period. The cartridges are mounted in an attractive geometric pattern against a neutral grey background, several showing the cutaway view, displaying the layering of the materials contained in a shot shell. The center of the display exhibits the registered trademark of the company, being a gold shield on a blue background with the letters EB in script in the center. The outer oak frame is printed with the legends: Eley, Sporting, Military and Cartridges in black. The board is all original, blacklight shows no signs of any in-painting. The wooden inner liner is painted red. It appears as of the glass was missing for some time as there is some wear on the red inner liner and the cartridges have tarnished to some degree. The cardboard shell’s colors may have faded a bit, but the black printing is perfect, as are the cases. The most interesting cartridges are the two large Express rounds at the base. We have searched all previously sold cartridge boards and this is the only one of this design we can find. The scarcity of these early, all original cartridge boards, especially those from Europe, has propelled them in popularity with collectors of both firearms and cartridges. 8,500.00 - 12,500.00

947 - HUGE CIRCA 1880-1890’S UMC FRAMED CARTRIDGE STORE DISPLAY BOARD. 41 - 1/2” High, 54 - 1/2” Wide One of the most desirable of all advertising collectibles are the factory cartridge boards put out to advertise various ammunition. This board was assembled by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. of Bridgeport, Connecticut circa 1880’s. The original magnificent oak frame features the gesso 3D lettering. The original frame and gesso were restored to its original condition by one of the finest arts and crafts period restorers. Top reads “Trademark UMC” while the bottom reads “Union Metallic Cartridge Co.”, letters are over 2” tall, finished in black and stand out against the oak frame. The center diamond artwork measures 24”x18” and features a wild antlered game scene. This centerpiece has been restored to its original, brilliant, full-color, majestic eye appeal. Within the framed borders are well over 150 examples of all the famous cartridges available at that time: there are over ten Sharps cartridges, along with Remington single shot, Ballards, the entire Winchester line and numerous oddball rimfires. The shot section includes paper shells from 4 bore down and brass shells from 4 bore down with a nice separate display of primers and wads. All of the cartridges are original to the board. When blacklighted, there has been minimal amount of edge repair. The inside image itself measures 43” x 33” while the entire display 54-1/2” x 41-1/2”. These were produced in very limited numbers during their time frame and only given to the largest and most productive dealers and were never offered to the retail trade. When they are found they are usually in various degrees of disrepair and are often found stripped of their expensive and rare individual cartridges. The UMC board appears to be far scarcer than the usually encountered Winchester boards. It is simply breathtaking in all respects and would be a center showpiece in any gun room. 20,000.00 - 35,000.00

948 - RARE ORIGINAL TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPH OF VIRGIL EARP & CHARLIE BASSETT. 2 - 1/2” x 3” Still set in a partial period case with decorative gold border, missing cover. This image shows Virgil Earp on left with Charlie Bassett on right. Both are in period dress attire. There appears to be a U.S. Army belt buckle and holster with the barrel of a pistol sticking out on Virgil’s left leg. There is an old hand written note in pencil that reads “Your grandfather bought this from the Earp Family in Monmouth, Illinois many years ago - Wyatt Earp and Charlie Bassett - DO NOT EVER SELL”. In examining numerous images of Virgil, Wyatt and the other Earp brothers from this time period, all the characteristics of the face indicate it is Virgil and not Wyatt. Wyatt Earp was born while the family lived in Monmouth, whereas Virgil was born in Hartford, Kentucky; so there is an Earp family connection with the town of Monmouth, Illinois. While Virgil moved around the country later in life, he moved to Dodge City, Kansas in 1877 with Wyatt. He moved to Tombstone in 1879. His most famous incident during his lifetime was the gunfight at O.K. Corral on October 26th, 1881. Virgil, along with his brothers Morgan and Wyatt and in the company of Doc Holliday, went to disarm Frank and Tom McLaury, Ike and Billy Clanton, and Billy Claiborne. At the time, Wyatt was Virgil’s temporary assistant marshall. During the fight both McLaury brothers and Billy Clanton were killed. Virgil was shot through the calf. Charlie Bassett moved to Dodge City in 1872 and opened the original Long Branch Saloon. The saloon made famous on the TV series “Gunsmoke”, an eventual owner of the saloon was Luke Short. Bassett served as under-sheriff to Bat Masterson in Dodge City, as well as Ed Masterson. Charlie was appointed City Marshall in December 1877. Ed Masterson was killed in Dodge City in 1878. Charlie Bassett and Wyatt Earp were members of the Dodge City Peace Commission in 1883, along with Luke Short and Bat Masterson. In 1883 he moved to Kansas City, Missouri. An incredibly sharp image of two notable Western celebrities. 20,000.00 - 40,000.00

This conversion has all matching numbers with the exception of the cylinder which is not readable. Wedge has matching number as well. All metal is basically gun metal grey. No visible cylinder scene. Walnut grips are excellent. Unpolished brass. Indexes perfectly. Strong, clean rifling. What makes this little .38 conversion interesting is that on the left side of the barrel is stamped “QUINCY POLICE NO. 12” and was issued to the Quincy Police Department in the 1870’s; one of the earliest police marked guns we have encountered. It is marked and in nearly identical condition as another revolver sold at auction in fall of 2012 that was “QUINCY POLICE NO. 3”. We do not know the total number issued, but probably numbers less than 20 given the small town police departments of the era. Housed in a more modern case and accompanied by a silver plated brass police badge that is dated 1888 badge number 64 and ribbon reads “MANET” and stamped “QUINCY” twice. Quincy and Manet are basically a metropolis in the state of Massachusetts. Given these badges are from the 19th century, we will assume these badges are from the Quincy, Massachusetts Police Department. Quincy is almost a sister city to Boston and is now considered a suburb. 1,500.00 - 2,500.00

996 - (A) ARMY NAVY STORE LONDON DOUBLE BARREL HOWDAH PISTOL. Manufacturer: London Model: Army/Navy Caliber: .60 Bore-Rifled Barrel Length: 7 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique During the mid-to-late 19th century, tiger hunting was a major sport for the elite British rulers and officers stationed in India. Handguns and sporting guns were purchased through the British military exchange store known as the Army Navy Store. The shooting of tigers perched atop a Howdah on the back of an elephant was a gentleman’s game. One of the favorite weapons of these hunts was the double barrel pistol whose name was derived from the elephant perch, the Howdah. It consisted of a side by side large bore pistol, break open, with large bore, double hammers and double triggers. This pistol was manufactured in London specifically for that trade. Features twin rifled .60 bores for the self contained cartridge, wide rib, wind adjustable front sight, set rear sight, double hammers, under lever release, tip-up, double triggers, checkered walnut forend and grip with a lanyard loop so as to not lose the pistol. It is, in essence, a sawed-off, short barreled hand-held shotgun that would deliver a massive hunk of lead at ample enough speed to take your prey. The majority of these type weapons are generally later handmade copies or renditions of a Howdah and very few original examples exist today; the most desirable of which are London made and fire a self-contained cartridge. The workmanship is typical mid-19th century London. Wood to metal fit is immaculate. Excellent, finely checkered walnut stocks. Typical English engraving on most surfaces with twin back action locks and engraved hammers. Sideplates and barrel are marked “ARMY & NAVY CSL”. Barrel retains approximately 95% of the period reapplied blue finish. Action and frame are a shiny, polished gun metal grey. Beautifully executed English engraving throughout. Near mint bores and perfect action. This is one of those elusive, ghost-like weapons that everyone has heard of but usually never sees. They represent the high society that ruled the Nation of India at a time when the sun never set on the British Empire. For the pleasure of aristocrats, providing the thrill of a wild tiger hunt with little to no regard for anything but their own pleasures. A gun that truly represents the gilded age of privilege and an iconic weapon in British history. 14,000.00 - 18,000.00

Top of the barrel is stamped “NEW HAVEN CONN. PATENT FEB. 14 1854”. This is one of the earliest surviving examples that remains in all original excellent condition.

A nearly identical factory walnut case with red felt lining can be seen on page 88 in the book titled “Volcanic Firearms” by Lewis and Rutter. This is an exceptional example of the fifth pistol manufactured at the then-new New Haven Arms factory, which was the same location that had been rented by the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company. The factory listed the 3-1/2” barrel Model as a 4” for advertising purposes and the original Broadside listed the No. 4” at $12 with an additional $1.50 for plating and engraving. In addition of the being one of the lowest serial numbers, the original condition is outstanding and the original display case is also in excellent condition with the original key. 17,500.00 - 25,000.00

Referred to as the Navy/Navy in that it was original issued as an 1861 Navy revolver. In the early 1870’s, these were recalled by the factory, converted to fire the self-contained cartridge, and a small portion were reissued to the United States Navy for use on the Frigates and Cutters. These were stamped on the bottom of the barrel “R.W.M.” (Richard W. Meade) with a Naval anchor. This inspector was a commodore in the U.S. Navy. His initials are only found on the Colt Navy Model conversions. He served Ordnance duty beginning in 1869 until 1873 and was at the New York Navy yard from 1873 to 1876 as an inspector of Ordnance. Revolvers with his inspector stamp include the Colt Model 1851 and 1861 Navy Model conversions that totaled 2,099 for both models. These are the only known guns inspected by Meade. Due to low production and service at sea, very few have survived in fine condition. This is one of those examples. Barrel retains approximately 70% of the Colt high polish blue finish. Cylinder scene is perfect. All numbers match with the exception that the cylinder was originally 61953 but was renumbered 7071 at time of conversion and can be found stamped directly below original number. Right side of the frame retains approximately 50% original case colors. Left side of the frame has traces of case colors, balance patterned out. Brass trigger guard and backstrap show no signs of plating. Very good pair of original one piece walnut grips with numerous bumps and bruises. Wedge is not numbered. Indexes and locks up like a new revolver. Strong rifled bore. This is by far one of the nicer surviving examples of an 1861 Navy issue conversion revolver. 3,500.00 - 5,500.00

Within the packet of history, there is no revelation as to how this revolver survived or its origins. It is simply being attributed based on information provided and the plaque.

LOT - 1007 1007 - (A) NEW YORK STYLE ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1878 WITH CARVED GRIPS & PRESENTATION. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1878 Serial No. 24737 Caliber: .44-40 Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique According to the Colt factory letter, this revolver was shipped to E.C. Meacham in St. Louis on February 7th, 1890 in a shipment of 15 guns. It was shipped as a .44 caliber with 5-1/2” barrel, nickel finish and rubber stocks. This revolver is now finished in blue, has nearly full coverage scroll and punch dot Helfricht style engraving, large 1902 style trigger guard with large extended trigger, and a beautiful pair of Colt silver medallion thick ivory grips with an Indian brave carved on right panel. Backstrap is engraved “Soapy Smith Skagway 1897” (old spelling). The legend of Soapy Smith has grown over the last 100 plus years and has taken on mythical proportions. Jefferson Randalph “Soapy” Smith was born on November 2nd, 1860 and died in a gunfight in Alaska on July 8th, 1898. Referred to as the “Shootout on Juneau Wharf”. His occupation was that of an early confidence man and his career began in Denver in 1879 where he ran several saloons, gambling halls, cigar stores and auction houses; all specializing in cheating their clientele. It was in Denver he entered into the arena of political fixing. He used these same methods when settling in Skagway. Referred to as “Skagway’s Scourge of the Klondike” and “King Con”; Smith, like thousands of others, headed to Alaska for the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897. He bought a tavern called “Jeff Smith Parlor” in 1898 to run his operations. When a vigilance committee threatened to expel Soapy and his gang, he formed his own law and order society. During the Spanish-American War in 1898 he started his own military company where he gained recognition from President William McKinley, which he used to strengthen his control of the town. It was nearly impossible for any miner traveling to the gold fields to travel through Skagway without a run-in from Soapy. His great-grandson has an interesting website dedicated to Soapy and all things related, such as stories, weapons that have surfaced, etc. We had several interesting exchanges regarding this revolver in which he stated that when Soapy was killed on July 8th, 1898; he was so well-known that everyone wanted a souvenir that belonged to him. This revolver with the beautiful presentation on the back, dated 1897, was probably one such revolver. It was made up and sold to a wealthy miner as a souvenir. The engraving is the quality of Colt with beautiful finish, sharp edges, fire blue on trigger. Carved ivory grips are exquisite. Action is perfect and has a mint bore. It is interesting that before it was engraved and blued, they added the large RAC style trigger guard and trigger “Alaskan” look; unfortunately, Soapy had been buried for three years before Colt ever produced the large trigger guard and trigger. Since the finish and engraving continues from gun onto trigger guard, it must be assumed that it was engraved with the large trigger guard and trigger assembly after Soapy was dead. This exquisite revolver would have thrilled Soapy to no end, as even in death, unscrupulous people were using Soapy’s name to continue the con. That said, the revolver is a beautiful thing in its own right, retaining approximately 95% of the blue finish, thinning in some areas. Bottom of the barrel is stamped .44. Trigger guard shows no sign of any military inspection stamp. Left side of the barrel is factory stamped “COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER”. In 1955, the movie “Far Country” starring Jimmy Stewart and Walter Brennan paid a sort of homage to Soapy in the character of Judge Gannon; who, like Soapy, controlled everything coming or going out of Skagway during the Gold Rush. One can only imagine the poor gold minor striking it rich, wandering into a Skagway gun shop and purchasing Soapy’s fancy Colt, for an obviously far greater price than a like engraved factory Colt without the Soapy history. In addition to this exquisite revolver comes an extremely high quality single pouch basket weave holster with tooled border of the same period with no marker’s cartouche. And to get the real feel and history of Soapy Smith we include three books: “That Fiend In Hell” Catherine Spud, “King Con” by Jane Haigh, and “Soapy Smith: Skagway’s Scourge of the Klondike” by Stan Sauerwein. For other interesting tidbits, you might want to visit Soapy’s great-grandson’s website about Soapy: www.soapysmith.net. 4,500.00 - 6,500.00

1011 - (A) “CONFEDERATE CONTRABAND” COLT MODEL 1861 NAVY REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1861 Navy Serial No. 1070 Caliber: .36 cal Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique LOT - 1011 This is one of two known documented Colt percussion revolvers from what is surmised as four orders of approximately 50 guns per order that were sent from Colt to C.B. Cotton in September of 1861. Cotton was the Collector of the Port of Louisville, Kentucky. Charles Cotton was then selling these guns that he purchased for $15 for upwards of $100 each to the Confederacy. This gun was shipped on September 2, 1861. On October 31st, General Sherman ordered a seizure of arms and goods in Cottons possession. Colts from these shipments are fairly well known in collector circles as the Contraband Colts. This particular Navy was sent to a very famous and influential Louisville resident, one George D. Prentice who was a well known author and the editor of the Louisville Daily Journal from 1830-1868 and a loyal Unionist. This revolver was shipped to him in care of Charles Cotton. It is ironic in that both of Prentice’s sons fought for the Confederacy. One died on the field and the other ended up in a Union Prison Camp. In the 3” file of history and paper work that comes with this gun is a copy of a letter written to President Lincoln by Prentice pleading for the release of his son. The gun itself is a basic standard Colt Model 1861 Navy six shot .36 caliber percussion revolver that left the factory with a 7-1/2” barrel, blue finish with case colors and brass back strap with walnut grips. Serial numbered 1070. Shipped September 2, 1861. All matching numbers but wedge not numbered. All metal surfaces are clean smooth brown patina. Excellent original grips with “FP NOV. 3, 1912” carved into panel which is most likely a family member of Prentice. Cylinder has a fairly complete scene and indexes fine. Bore is strong. It is not often that a Colt has a story that actually mirrors the period of history in which it was manufactured and one that relates to a family and a specific event as the Civil War unfolded. This gun is the centerpiece of that time and place and a family torn apart by the War. The file of paperwork that comes with this historic revolver is a novel in itself. Includes Colt factory letter. 5,000.00 - 7,500.00

1016 - (A) U.S. COLT MODEL 1873 SINGLE ACTION ARMY CAVALRY REVOLVER (GEORGIA MILITIA). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1873 SAA Serial No. 113267 Caliber: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique LOT - 1016 This Colt is accompanied by both a Colt factory letter and a John Kopek letter. The Kopek letter basically states that the gun is all original and unaltered. The factory letter states that it was shipped to the U.S. government on December 3rd, 1884 in a 100 gun shipment. Archives show that the State of Georgia received four revolvers on February 9th, 1885 and another group of 30 on August 7th of that year. Other shipments were sent in 1886, 1888 and 1889. Due to the 1884 production date, it can be assumed that this example is from the 1885 shipment of 34 guns. Its only identification to Georgia is the faded “GA” stamped on left grip. All other cartouche stamps are no longer legible, the grips having been freshened up at one time and slightly shy to metal. Partial serial number 113 can be seen written in pencil in grip channel. Gun features six shot, single action, blue/case hardened with walnut grips. Following notes: inspected by David F. Clark (1880-1887); serial number range 53000 to 121000; 1,000 gun manufactured from 41,000 to 42,000 in 1878 but inspected in 1880; bottom of barrel is stamped “D.F.C. 3267” and “P”; frame is stamped “D.F.C. U.S.” on left side with three line patent date; “G” is stamped on trigger guard; “D.F.C. 3267” and “P” stamped on cylinder; backstrap stamped with a “G”, loading gate has assembly No. 1666. Revolver has all matching serial numbers and all proper parts for this era. Condition is basically a smooth brown patina with sharp legends. Screw heads are clean. All four Colt clicks. Locks up tight. Excellent, strong clean bore. Very fine all original (with notation to grips) U.S. Cavalry revolver that survived the government recall. Georgia in the 1880’s was plagued with reconstruction problems with the resurgence of ex-Confederate groups clashing with government reconstruction troops, and the Civil War was far from over to most Georgians. 5,500.00 - 8,500.00

1020 - (A) S&W 1ST MODEL U.S. SCHOFIELD / WELLS FARGO NICKEL/ IVORY REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: 1st Model Schofield Serial No. 2187 Caliber: .45 S&W Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Antique This beautiful high condition revolver started life as a standard 7” barrel, U.S. stamped LOT - 1020 military issue according to “The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson” page 113 in the fourth edition: “It is estimated that several hundred Schofields with cut down 5” barrels were purchased by Wells Fargo to arm its messengers. The guns were marked by the company on the right side of the ejector housing by stamping over the Schofield patent, with the marked “W.F. & COS EX.” along with restamping of the gun’s serial number. Three different sizes of numerals have been reported. Most common is the small size, about the same size as the company name, medium sizes marked by the Chicago office and large side being the scarcest.” This example is a medium size stamped “.2187” (serial number), but there is no “W.F. & CO” stamp. In examining the font from an example of medium size, both the number ‘2’ and ‘7’ are identical. One can only speculate as to why they did not stamp “W.F. & CO.” but this revolver is 100% authentic. It was dealer nickel plated, most likely by Hartley & Graham of New York, and fitted with ivory grips. Remains in outstanding all original condition as altered. The barrel and frame retain approximately 95% of the never polished original nickel finish. Razor sharp lettering with no nickel in the lettering. 65% original nickel finish on cylinder with balance gun metal grey patina. Some strong case colors still evident on hammer. Excellent to near mint original aged ivory grips. Butt is stamped “US”. Matching number on cylinder. Barrel has “L B T” inspector mark at base. Cylinder shows no sign of burn, nor does inside facing, indicating this gun saw little to no use. Most outer wear was probably caused by holster. One of the finest, special order, plated Wells Fargo type Schofields to ever hit the market. 6,500.00 - 9,500.00

It is a nine shot, single action .44 caliber percussion revolver with octagon barrel and a single 20 bore barrel beneath pistol barrel and a factory lanyard ring.

These London marks can be found on page 70; according to the book, Girard & Gautherin were agents that assumed the responsibilities of percussion production of the LeMat for the Confederacy. It is assumed that these London stamped guns were made in late 1863 or 1864. They were manufactured in Paris and then shipped to London for proofing to ensure quality. There is a “1” stamped on firing pin shroud and an “N” stamped on left side of hammer. Left side of both barrels have the London mark, as does each cylinder.

The .40-70 WCF is amongst the lowest of all standard production calibers in the Model 1886 with approximately 850 total manufactured in both rifles and carbines. In addition this rifle was ordered with a 28” barrel, 2” longer than the standard. The rifle has period sling eyes that are not listed in the factory letter, and it also has the scarce Slidin’ Lyman Model 21 receiver sight with a Marbles front sight and a rear sight blank. According to the letter, rifle was shipped on June 1, 1895. The rifle features full round barrel, full magazine, walnut stocks, rifle buttplate, blued with case colored frame, hammer and lever. The condition on this rare special order rifle is outstanding. The barrel retains approximately 95% original factory blue with razor sharp legends and a couple areas here and there of age spots.

Manufacturer: Gahendra Model: Bira Gun Serial No. 99 Caliber: .577/450 Barrel Length: 41” FFL Status: Antique Year: 1890 Due to the geopolitical situation in the 1890’s, the British had supplied the Nepalese army with a large amount of rifles and ammunition, but no machine guns. Nepalese General Gehendra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana decided to make his own, based on the British Gardner machine gun. Keep in mind that the British, having moved on to better Boxer rounds, were supplying the Nepalese with vast amounts of military surplus, including the notoriously sketchy .577 x 450 Martini-Henry rounds of ammunition. Enter the Bira Gun. The General’s design had a top mounted, drum style magazine that held 120 rounds like a two-layer cake and barrels that could be quickly removed with the chains when hot and cleared when a cartridge failed, as they often did. Interestingly, Gehendra also felt that a counter-clockwise crank to fire the gun was a more natural movement. These weapons were hand made, one at a time, so parts are not interchangeable between guns, and even a particular screw may only fit that particular hole. The Bira is mounted like an artillery piece, with a painted steel pivoting mount on stout, steel rimmed wagon wheels. The Bira offered here has “99” engraved many times throughout, with some other numbers scattered about. The 41” double barrels, body with chains and pins, and drum all have a beautiful brown patina. The left side of the body has a brass elevation arc with a freely hanging iron arrow. In front of the hand cranked bolt, the right side of the body features an embossed brass medallion with red inpainting and a combination of English and Nepalese writing. (Very Good). 20,000.00 - 30,000.00

1037 - (A) JAMES B. HUME’S HISTORICAL HENRY LEVER ACTION RIFLE (ASSOCIATED WITH CAPTURE OF BLACK BART). Manufacturer: New Haven Arms Company Model: Henry Serial No. 4905 Caliber: .44 Henry RF Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Antique Manufactured 1864. The top of the rifle is professionally engraved “James B. Hume” and dated “1864” on receiver bridge. James B. Hume will forever be remembered as the man that captured the infamous gentleman bandit, Black Bart. Hume is still regarded today as one of the premier detectives of the 19th century. He was relentless in following hunches, much like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, and he did not rest until he got his man. Hume first traveled West to the California gold fields in 1850 following the 1849 Gold Rush at Sutter’s Mill. Little is known of James until 1864 when he was appointed City Marshall of Placerville, California, and was also undersheriff and sheriff in El Dorado County, California. In 1871 he went to work as a detective for the Wells Fargo Freight Company. He took a year off in 1872 to act as deputy warden at the Nevada State Penitentiary. It was in 1883 that he left his mark in California history books. Already considered the pre-eminent detective of his time, he had been tracking the infamous Black Bart since his earliest robberies. His big break came on November 3rd, 1883, when Black Bart’s attempted Wells Fargo robbery was aborted, leaving behind a small handkerchief stamped “F.X.O.7”. Hume tracked down the owner of this scarf by investigating over 90 laundries in the San Francisco area, when he stumbled upon the name of the customer known as “F.X.O.7”. Black Bart was arrested and confessed to his crime, ending a long and colorful criminal career. Once released from San Quentin Prison in 1888 he was never heard from again. It was said that the Wells Fargo robberies started anew and he was added to the payroll, giving him a salary for the remainder of his life. This was denied by the Wells Fargo Company. This historical and fine all original Henry rifle was displayed at the old Wells Fargo Museum in San Francisco between 1949 and 1982. This rifle is steeped in California history and American folklore. The events in which it saw service are worthy of a novel. Standard features include brass frame, brass rifle buttplate, octagon barrel, full magazine, Henry ladder folding rear sight and standard front sight. Razor sharp edges and barrel legends. Barrel and tube were originally finished in blue, traces of which are still evident in recesses but metal is basically a brown-grey patina with some age spotting. There is evidence of fire blue on numerous screw heads. The brass frame and buttplate are an unmarred, rich, mellow mustard tone with some mild green verdigris on left side of frame. Hammer and lever are a rich brown patina with no traces of color. Original walnut stock is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips, usual dings. Usual serial number in upper tang channel. Stock has the original sling swivel on left side and matching sling loop on left side of barrel. There are no receiver cuts for a sight. The number 4095 (serial number) can be found stamped into the back of the brass buttplate, both of the original stock screws, inside the left lower tang, on top of barrel at breech, and in the upper tang channel of the wood stock. The receiver is considered the large bevel later variation as seen on page 57 in “The Henry Rifle Book” by Les Quick. It has the faceted chamber top and later style brass buttplate with pointed heel (page 107). Buttstock has the obtuse style of stock comb as seen on top photograph of page 90, where you can also see the identical sling swivel. Top of the barrel is stamped in two lines “Henry’s Patent Oct. 16 1860 / Manufact’d by the Newhaven Arms Co. Newhaven. CT.”. There are pages upon pages of information on this rifle pertaining to James Hume, enough so to write an interesting book. Comes with the original four piece cleaning rod. Action is perfect. Strong visible rifling with as to be expected black powder erosion. Accompanied by an archive of pertinent history and information, including: A) Letter from Wells Fargo Bank’s Historical Services Vice President, stating that the rifle was on loan there between 1949 and 1982. B) A letter written by George Rieber, discussing the provenance of the line of descent of the rifle and how it came into his possession on January 19, 1921. George was the owner of Geo. Rieber & Son Hardware in Placerville, California. Letter is accompanied by a 1921 dated receipt for the rifle purchased by George from Ernest McAfee. The letter states that James Hume gave the rifle to George Neil of the Somerset district at the time of the Bullion Bend robbery , as that district had no long range guns at the time. Neil was afterwards drowned at Steeley Fork of the Cosumnes River and the gun fell into the hands of one McAfee, from whose son, Ernest, it was purchased by me, George Rieber. C) A circular from Wells Fargo, given personally to local and county officers and reliable citizens, offering an $800 reward for the arrest of stage coach robber Black Bart, complete with a copy of original poem written by him. D) Original Wells Fargo Archives 8x10” photograph of the rifle’s inscription. E) Letter dated 1950 to the Wells Fargo Bank Historical Collection from Sybil Jones, authorizing her son Robert Jones, to claim and receive the rifle engraved “James B. Hume” loaned to the Wells Fargo collection in 1943 by her uncle, H.P. Blanchard. F) A transcript of the historical marker “In Memory of the Bravery of our Pioneer Officer’s.” discussing the Confederate robbery, and marked by Placerville Parlors of Native Sons and Daughters and dated September 9th. 1916. G) An article about the capture of Black Bart, a reproduced 8x10” photo of Black Bart aka Charles Boles, and a reproduced 8x10” image of James Hume with others. H) An original Confidential Wells, Fargo & Co’s Express Special Instructions In Regard to Stage Robberies, dated September 5th, 1883 FROM San Francisco. This confidential memo regarding the fellow “Black Bart”, details the procedure to be followed by stage coach personnel in the event of a robbery, it provides the reward information, the format necessary to record the specifics of the robbery, and how to report it. It is signed “J. B. HUME/Special Officer W.F. & Co.” I) All in an envelope from Wells Fargo Bank’s Historical Department. Complete with three books: “Black Bart: Boulevardier Bandit” by George Hoeper, Black Bart: The Search is Over” by Robert E.

Manufacturer: Sharps Model: 1874 Serial No. C2158 Caliber: .44-70 Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Antique After the Civil War, Sharps was left with the numerous leftover parts from their Civil War production. Like most companies, not wanting to waste any inventory, they figured out ways to use the old parts along with some newly made parts to produce breech loading cartridge single shot sporting rifles. These were done by both the factory and several outside firms such as Boker and Meacham. Sharps converted these rifles from 1879 to 1881. Most of the Sharps conversions have the regular sharps barrel markings, as does this example. This barrel is stamped “OLD RELIABLE SHARPS RIFLE CO BRIDGEPORT CONN”. The Sharps style rear sight is not marked. Caliber is marked at breech just as originals. This sporting rifle is in fine condition as factory converted. Full octagon barrel retains approximately 50% original factory blue with sharp legend and edges; mixing with brown patina. The frame colors have darkened out. This rifle has been fitted with double set trigger and an appropriate lower tang. Has the standard steel buttplate. No patchbox. Left side of stock has the filler plate for the sling bar hole and has a filler plug on the left side of the frame for the opposite side of the bar. Forend even has the original Sharps style Schnabel forend tip. Fairly strong rifling and a perfect action. For all intents and purposes this is now an 1874 Sharps as rebuilt by Sharps during the hey day of the buffalo hunting era. Extremely clean, lightweight sporter in far above average condition. 5,000.00 - 7,000.00

1052 - (A) RARE FACTORY BURNSIDE SPORTING RIFLE. Manufacturer: Burnside Rifle Co. Caliber: .56 Barrel Length: 26 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The Bristol Firearms Co. and the Burnside Rifle Co. manufactured rifles from 1857 to 1865. They were updated into five models and were widely used carbines throughout the Civil War. Burnside, like many other firearms manufacturers during the Civil War, reached a solvency dilemma at the abrupt end of the hostilities. All of these small factories were filled with equipment, tools, supplies and talented workers but the sudden halt of military orders left them with an uncertain future. Many companies, such as Spencer and American Machine Works, decided to convert tooling over to the production of sporting rifles so as to continue sales. The Spencer Rifle Co. produced a small number of post Civil War sporting rifles. American Machine Works produced less than a dozen single shot sporting rifles based on the Civil War design. It is obvious, based on this rifle, that the Burnside Company attempted the same project. In fact, the barrel and forend of this gun are nearly identical to the few known examples of the Smith sporting rifle. They basically took the action of a Fifth Model Burnside carbine where they fitted 28” full octagon barrel, a walnut forend with pewter tip, a deluxe walnut highly finished stock and rifle buttplate and produced a breech loading .54 caliber sporting rifle. This is the only example of a Burnside sporting rifle that we are aware of. Top of the frame is stamped “BURNSIDE PATENT 1856”. Still retains the sling bar but no ring. There is no visible serial number. It is obvious this rifle has seen very little use. Barrel retains approximately 95% or better original factory blue with razor sharp edges. No company stamp. Standard dovetail front sight, military style flip-up rear sight. Features extra grade walnut stock with piano finish, curved steel buttplate, case colored frame, lever and hammer. Most case colors have patterned out but still 30% intact. Several screws retain their brilliant high polish blue. Breech block retains approximately 50% high polish blue. Traces of color on buttplate with fire blue screws. Walnut stock is near mint, proud to metal, beautifully finished and has a rear sling swivel. Strong rifled bore. Fine working order. Total quantity manufactured is unknown, but likely very few. If a finer example exists we have not seen nor heard of it. If you collect single shot sporting rifles, this has the to be one of the rarest acquisitions one could make. 4,500.00 - 7,500.00

1055 - (A) CS ARMORY RICHMOND STYLE HIGH HUMP RIFLE MUSKET. Manufacturer: CS Armory Model: Musket Caliber: .58 Barrel Length: 40” FFL Status: Antique This is a very unusual example. First, the high hump lock is devoid of any stamps on the exterior; once lock is removed, you can see the stamp “G.V.R. 1” on the reverse with “S” stamped on mechanism. It appears very old and original, and is case hardened of which approximately 60% remains. Likewise, the inletted wood beneath the side plate appears to be old and original. The barrel is finished in the white and it, too, is sans any markings. The style of the bolster is correct. Rear sight is an 1858 type folding leaf rear with the three and five designation, sans serifs. Barrel bands are finished in the white and the letter “U” is on the forward most barrel band on the right side, middle band with swivel has no “U”, and rear band has perpendicular “U” on left side. Has the brass stock tip with iron screw. The one piece walnut stock shows no sign of any inspector mark, nor does it show any sign of having been removed. Trigger guard has the integral sling swivel. Butt plate has the “U.S.” stamp as seen on page 14 of “C.S. Armory Richmond” by Davies. Patch box is typical. The compartment is plain. Overall, this rifle is in beautiful condition. All metal is in the white, with the exception of the lock and stock tip, which is very clean. This rifle is in near new, almost unused condition. Appears to have all proper aging and inletting. The interior of the lock is unlike any that we could find in the book. It is our summation that it could be an early tool room or prototype Richmond High Hump musket. Three grooved rifled bore is in near mint condition. Very interesting, highly attractive Confederate style Civil War weapon. Condition is un-improvable. 3,000.00 - 5,000.00 420

1074 - (A) SCARCE GREENE UNDERHAMMER BOLT ACTION PERCUSSION RIFLE. Manufacturer: A.H. Waters Armory Model: Bolt Action Caliber: .53 Barrel Length: 35” FFL Status: Antique

Made by the A.H. Waters Armory in Milbury, Massachusetts. 900 were bought by the U.S. Ordnance and delivered in 1863. Very small quantities appear to have been sold to state militias by the Boston firm of William Read & Sons and will be found without inspector markings. A total of 1,500 U.S. Models were manufactured. 3,000 were made and delivered to fill Russian contract, none of which are known, nor are details of their markings. Rifle features three bands, all stamped “U”; maker on tang. No visible inspector cartouche. No military inspector marks on base, nor any other place on right besides the bands, so this is probably one of the militia rifles sold by Read. All metal is a brown patina. Wood is very good with no cracks or major chips, just usual dings. Comes with a rare original bayonet. Clean bore. Original cleaning rod. The Greene also required the loading of two bullets, one of which served as a gas seal. In the initial loading sequence, a bullet was inserted, followed by a powder charge, then a second bullet. The first bullet actually left the muzzle when the rifle was discharged, while the second remained in the breech to prevent propellant gasses from escaping. When the rifle was re-loaded, this bullet was advanced into the bore, followed by a powder charge and a new “gas seal” bullet. The process would be continually repeated; thus each bullet saw dual use - first as a breech gas seal, and next as a projectile on the subsequent shot. Extremely scarce, never seen low production U.S. Civil War era military musket in all original, untouched attic condition. 1,200.00 - 1,800.00
