1052 - DOUBLE DISK AMERICAN NAVAL CUTLASS 1797 PATTERN OR EARLIER This unmarked double disk naval cutlass follows an English pattern in use on British warships and in the colonies since the mid-1700s. The blade is straight, single edged with spear point and narrow fuller running along the back edge from the guard and tapering out near the false edge. The hilt is iron, with forged one-piece guard having a broad oval disk on knuckleguard and one forming counterguard, topped with flat, rolled quillon. Blade tang is crudely peened. Grip is rolled iron showing peening dents. Hilt is japanned black. British versions are often designated the “pre-1804 pattern.” The 1797 designation for American versions derives from the re-establishment of the navy and contract cutlasses for it that are similar in form, but marked. This is unmarked and a commercial product for a privateer or merchant vessel arms chest. The lack of a ricasso may indicate an earlier production date. The same form is used in the American Revolution and known to have been occasionally issued to land troops in need of arms. CONDITION: Very good. Blade gray with some dark gray and brown areas. Good edge and point. Minor chips and losses to the black painted hilt. SR 1,000 - 1,500

He is listed in 1840 to 1851 as a “surgical instrument maker.” In 1855 and 1856 as a “cutler”. This company manufactured “Bowie” type knives, among other kinds of cutlery. This knife has the style of Mr. Jackson’s Bowie Knife Works (ebony pinned handle, and appearance). It boasts a 10-1/2” upswept blade, obviously showing skill and style in form of manufacture of both surgical instruments and Bowie Knife makers combined. This is a real killer knife in all respects. c. 1850.

The etching is somewhat faint in areas, mainly the center of the blade where an effort was made to clean it. The handle scales are replacements. Guard is slightly loose. 2,500 - 3,000

Saber ground blade of classic clip point style, marked on ricasso E.M. DICKINSON SHEFFIELD. Southwest style leather sheath an old replacement. Circa 1882-1891. Dickinson founded his Sheffield factory, Murray Works, in about 1882 and this knife was almost certainly produced before country-of-origin markings became required starting in 1891. This style of knife sometimes referred to as a “bowie hunter” was popular in the Old West and not often seen dressed in fancy mother of pearl. CONDITION: In generally excellent condition. The blade shows signs of sharpening and use. The handle is free from cracks and only a few tiny chips to show its age. Sheath a replacement. 400 - 600

1071 - CIVIL WAR COLT .44 ARMY HOLSTER BY GAYLORD A very good example of the regulation holster for the Colt .44 Army Revolver, the classic cavalry pistol. Black leather with nice color and finish, tight seams. Latch tab and belt loop in place and secure. Rivet and stitching to tab indicate mid-war production. Crisply marked on the belt loop by E. Gaylord, a major contractor for accouterments during the war. Standard military configuration with full flap to hold pistol butt forward on the trooper’s right.

SR 700 - 1,000 1072 - U.S. DRAGOON 1850 PATTERN SADDLE HOLSTERS Standard issue pommel holsters for single pistols carried by U.S. dragoons in the early west.

They are constructed of black leather joined by a pommel strap with a hole to fit over the saddle pommel, and with formed covers fastening by latch tabs over a brass stud. Small loops are sewn to the sides to secure them to the saddle. A soft leather pouch with cover and five tin tubes for pistol paper cartridges is sewn the body of each holster. These are protected as well by the outer flap when fastened. CONDITION: Excellent. Just slight wear to the finish of the pommel strap from flexing and one short edge tear. One tie-down loop missing. Fancy militia or officer’s pommel holsters are not uncommon. Plain sets for enlisted mounted men are scarce. Perfect for an early cavalry display or collection devoted to the pre-Civil War army on the western plains. SR 1,000 - 1,500

1075 - LOT OF 3: MAJOR GENERAL HENRY A. BARNUM SHOWS OFF HIS WOUND, SURGEON KEPI, AND CRUTCH Lot consists of three items including a very telling photo showing the lasting personal effects of the war on one officer. Barnum (1833-1892) was Major of the 12th NY Volunteers when wounded severely in the left hip at Malvern Hill in 1862. He was captured, eventually released, and recovered enough to become colonel of the 149th New York, commanding it at Gettysburg and in the Atlanta Campaign, and having brigade command in the March to the Sea. He was injured again at Lookout Mountain and at Peach Tree Creek, won the Medal of Honor for bravery in the battles around Chattanooga, and received brevets to brigadier and major general. He is shown in this photo lifting his major general’s frock coat to show a cord passed through his 1862 wound, caused by a bullet entering to the left and below his navel, passing through his hip bone, and emerging at the back, leaving a track through his torso that never fully healed and troubled him for thirty years with chronic infections. This copy of the image was likely made in the 1890s and comes with a faded typewritten one-page biographical summary signed in ink by his eldest son, Morgan K. Barnum. This is lotted with two medical items: a circa 1890 cap with insignia reading “M.E.H.” and “Surgeon,” and a period wood crutch that could conceivably be Civil War era and possibly military, but are not directly related to Barnum. CONDITION: Very good, but with fading to the statement by Barnum’s son. SR 350 - 500 1076 - LOT OF 3: AMERICAN EAGLE POMMEL SABERS. Lots consists of three eagle pommel sabers ca. 1805-1820, American or for the American market. A) Brass hilt P-guard saber with open beak eagle pommel. Round, reeded bone grip with brass ferrule at guard. Blade curved, single edged, not etched, with broad fuller. No Scabbard. CONDITION: Very good. Age patina to brass. No bends. Bone grip with minor stains. One slight surface chip at pommel. Blade pad in place. Blade with good edge and point. In the bright with scattered small gray spots. B) Brass hilt, round reeded grip, recurved guard, diamond in cross section. Ferrule at base of grip. Blade one-third blued with foliate terminals and gilt highlighted dry-point etched motifs. Each side with broad leaf at bottom, martial and floral element at middle, and tighter geometric floral motif at top. Sim. Medicus 41c. CONDITION: Very good. Bluing rubbed on reverse, otherwise good with gilt in place. Good edge and point. Plain sections show silver gray with some gray stains. C) Crested eagle head pommel showing some nice gilt. Dark, round, reeded grip with ferrule at base. Curve knucklebow divides into slotted guard with flamboyant edges and shell shaped quillon. Plain blade, curved, single edged with single broad fuller. Good edge and point. Smooth metal. Silver gray with scattered gray spotting. Ca. 1805. Sim. Mowbray 16B. CONDITION: very good. A very nice, clean group of early U.S. eagle pommels. SR 1,200 - 1,400 1077 - LOT OF 3: AMERICAN SWORDS. Lot consists of three early U.S. swords. (A) Brass hilt eagle pommel saber with P-guard, bone grip, and shield langets, one with U.S. eagle, ca. 1830. Blade blued for about half its length with gold highlighted etched motifs. Each side with five motifs starting at ricasso. Obverse with panoply of arms and victory wreath between floral elements. Reverse with martial motif at center. CONDITION: Good. Blue is visible but rubbed. Gilt borders visible. Good edge and point. Blade shows gray and brown areas. No chips to grip. (B) Brass knights head pommel, chain guard, bone grip, recurved quillon terminals on crossguard, downturned counterguard with deeply cast American eagle with shield on chest, arrows and olive branch, on a sunburst background.

1078 - LOT OF TWO 20TH CENTURY MODEL 1852 US NAVY SWORDS. Identical U.S. Navy officer’s swords with etched blades marked at the ricassos “Hilborn Hamburg Inc New York Made In Solingen Germany”. Molded plastic grips with triple wire wrap, gold sword knots. Steel, leather faced scabbards with double ring mounts. CONDITION: Excellent. Showing minor wear only with the exception of one scabbard with a 3/4” loss of leather. DG 300 - 400

1079 - NICELY ETCHED INDIAN WAR 1860 STAFF AND FIELD BY A & A SCHNITZLER Derived from the 1860 Staff sword, this pattern became regulation for almost all foot officers in 1872. Most postdate the Civil War, but Harold Peterson’s terminology has stuck. A. & A. Schnitzler seems to have been an offshoot of Schnitzler and Kirschbaum, who supplied many swords to the US market, including the first 1840 enlisted cavalry sabers, but were out of business by the end of the Civil War. Here the quality of the work and folding reverse counterguard, however, suggest a date not long after. Some sources give 1875 as the termination of the A & A Schnitzler firm. This is in standard configuration: thin, straight double-edged blade, arris shaped. The brass hilt is deeply cast and chased. The pommel is lantern shaped, with US eagle on one face. U.S. eagle with shield superimposed on flags on the obverse guard. Folding guard with U.S. shield on crossed arms with wreath on stippled ground. The blade etching is very visible against thin frosting and includes floral scrolls mixed with panoplies of arms, flags and shields, a spread-winged U.S. eagle on one side and “U.S.” on the other. The gray sharkskin grip and wire are very good. The scabbard is nickel plated and in good condition, muted silver with little freckling. Brass floral mounts include throat, double upper ring, middle ring, and shoe drag with draped U.S. flags and spears. Red blade pad is present. CONDITION: Very good. Just slight wear to raised detail and minor stains to blade. SR 350 - 550

1080 - NEW YORK ARTILLERY BATTERY FLAG WITH ARTILLERY CAPTAIN’S SHOULDER STRAP. A scarce artillery battery flag. Guidons were officially sanctioned for individual batteries, but units seeing independent field service in the Civil War often adopted their own battle flags, by necessity scaled down somewhat closer to guidon size. The red silk field of this battery flag measures 23” by 17” exclusive of a silver fringe. The hoist shows four button or grommet holes. The central motif is a yellow applique outline of the New York state seal with the supporting figures of Justice and Liberty (the latter holding a liberty cap on a staff) with eagle-on-globe at top, “Excelsior” motto in ribbon underneath, and crossed cannon below that at lower center. Some line detailing of the figures is evident. The central part of the seal is oil painted with a scene of the Hudson River, showing mountains, the river and sailboats. This was mounted and framed within the past 40 years or so with an artillery captain’s shoulder strap at the bottom center. The strap appears to have oxidized silver bars, which would date it to 1872 or later. The flag would likely date to the same period, but could be earlier, as the oil-painted central scene on the state seal might indicate. CONDITION: Good, but needing careful handling until re-framed. We have not examined this out of the current frame. Several older runs in the fabric, which is to be expected with an old silk flag, were repaired using tape on the reverse, which has bled through. A couple of others are not closed. These are more at the fly end and the field is largely intact, with no missing fabric and good color. The oil painting has extensive craquelure and some minor losses, again, to be expected of oil paint on silk. The shoulder strap shows good color to the velvet center and oxidation to the bullion border, but good color to the jaceron wire edging. This is a good flag that displays well and is worthy of some minor restoration. SR 3,000 - 4,500 30

1081 - (CIVIL WAR) “ALL VETERANS 1861-1865” FLAG OF THE KEARSAGE ASSOC. A handsome blue silk flag or standard, 55 1/2 inches hoist by 58 inches fly (inclusive of 2-inch long, yellow silk fringe border on three sides), bearing the words “ALL VETERANS” in large, block letters at top and “1861 TO 1865” at bottom, between which are six rows of eight stars each, all in gilt paint, stencil-applied to the silk ground on both sides; the hoist side has silk ties for attaching it to a flagstaff. The reverse of the flag has been conservation-mounted to a piece of matching blue linen by a textile conservator for safe exhibition and handling and can be easily reversed without harm to the flag. The Kearsarge Association of Naval Veterans was formed in 1867 by US Navy veterans of the Civil War living in New England, primarily those who had served on saltwater vessels during the war. Its name was inspired by the USS Kearsage, a steam sloop built at the Portsmouth Naval Yard and commissioned in 1862 that became the most famous sail/steam warship of the Navy, having defeated and sunk the Confederate commerce raider CSS Alabama off Cherbourg in 1864. The Kearsage Association was headquartered in Boston and broadened its membership later to include a wider membership base of Civil War and later naval veterans. This flag was commissioned in circa 1912 by the Association for use at its annual reunions and otherwise was displayed at its headquarters in Boston; it was later deaccessioned and sold at auction. CONDITION: Some faded areas diagonally across the flag from its long display on a flagstaff for many decades, with a few small splits in silk (repaired by conservator) from the strain of such prior display. JLK 1,000 - 3,000 1082 - LOT OF 3: CIVIL WAR BAYONETS Lot consists of: (A) Saber bayonet for Colt alteration of the M1841 Mississippi Rifle with scabbard. These bayonets were used for the M1841 Mississippi Rifle with the Colt factory alteration of adding rear sights and bayonet lugs. The bayonet is marked “1861” on the ricasso and exhibits a dark gray patina. The bayonet exhibits a rough surface and has pitting throughout the length of the blade. The hilt is made of brass and is marked “W” followed by “679”. Like the blade, the hilt also exhibits pitting, as well as dents and scratches. The bayonet is complete with its leather and brass scabbard. The scabbard exhibits cracks throughout the leather and there are some leather portions that have broken off. Despite the damage, the scabbard still appears to be somewhat sturdy. CONDITION: Good (B) P.S. Justice rifle sword bayonet with leather scabbard. These bayonets were produced by Philip S. Justice at the outbreak of the Civil War. The bayonet is marked “P.S. Justice / Philad” on the ricasso. The blade exhibits a nice gray patina with a smooth surface despite light pitting throughout the length. The brass hilt has a nice dark patina that displays no modern polish. The muzzle ring is marked “844” which would match the bayonet with the gun. Justice delivered 2,469 rifles with sword bayonets to Frankford Arsenal and this bayonet falls in that range. The bayonet is complete with its leather and brass scabbard. The scabbard displays leather loss and there are dents in the brass at the throat. CONDITION: Good (C) .69 cal. rifle bayonet, which according to a note attached to the muzzle ring, was recovered from a farm in Gettysburg in the 1970s. “U.S.” marking is faintly present. The bayonet is in very poor condition, as to be expected of a ground dug relic. CONDITION: Relic. JD 600 - 800 1083 - CIVIL WAR 34-STAR U.S. FLAG This is a very nice example of the U.S. flag as flown during the first half of the Civil War, in use from January 1861 with the admission of Kansas as a state until the admission of West Virginia in 1863. Technically, a new flag would not be official until the July 4th following a state’s admission to the Union, but few flag makers would continue to make flags destined to be outdated in months, and few patriots would hesitate to fly one with a new star for a state whose admission seemed soon and certain. And, a parsimonious owner might continue to fly an older one for some time. So, there is some leeway in dating both production and use. West Virginia was on the road to admission in July 1862 with the Senate’s approval of its entry conditioned on its acceptance of a state constitutional amendment on emancipation. The House approved it in December. West Virginia ratified the amendment in March 1863, and Lincoln announced its admission in June. July 4, 1863, would then be the official date for its replacement by the 35-star flag. The flag is bunting, 66 inches on the hoist by 103 inches on the fly. The stars are arranged 7,7,6,7,7 and are five-pointed cut-out style, sewn to one side of the blue canton with the fabric cut away under them to make them visible from both sides. The canvas hoist has three brass grommets, correct for the period, and bears the name “Kellogg” nicely written once in brown ink and the name “Buckmaster” written twice, and once “Buck,” obviously an incomplete attempt. No identification on either name is available. The flag does not conform to a particular military specification, but is absolutely of the period. CONDITION: Very good. One repair to the upper hoist by sewing on a piece of fabric as reinforcement. Slight fraying to top corner of fly edge. Minor dirt and stains. A few small holes or thinning to fabric. Color is excellent. This would make a wonderful backdrop for a Civil War collection or could be judiciously pleated to display the full canton and stripes at shorter length for an easier wall mount. SR 1,500 - 2,500

1088 - AMES MODEL 1841 U.S. NAVAL CUTLASS FIRST YEAR DATED 1842 The US Navy adopted a new cutlass in 1841 and contracted with Ames in late 1841 or early 1842 to supply 3,000. Production was aided by its similarity to the Ames artillery short sword and all 3,000 were delivered by the end of 1842. Further contracts were starting in 1843, but only 6,600 were produced in total, the last delivered in 1846. Other markings are obscure, but the USN / 1842 is legible at the ricasso.

1090 - TIFFANY PRESENTATION SWORD AND CORPS BADGE OF CAPT. H.B. MASTERS An elegant, high-grade sword from the finest producer of presentation swords in the Civil War, together with the recipient’s impressive, inscribed Sixth Corps badge and a postwar veteran’s medal. The sword has a deeply cast and chased hilt, preserving better than 90 percent of its heavy gilt finish. The tall pommel is crowned by a crouching eagle in a fighting pose and has a U.S. shield its face. The knuckleguard is part of a long chain of successive sprouting flower buds that form the outer branch of the counterguard, curve back and turn up to the pommel, with loop at top for a sword knot, the splitting buds mirroring the lower edge of the pommel cap. The floral motif is continued in the openwork guard with scrolls, leaves, berries and flowers that entwine a floating U.S. on the obverse. The reverse (left) side of the guard is solid. The quillon is an open-mouthed lion head on a scrolling capital base. The grip is silver and spiral grooved. The blade is by Collins, a frequent supplier to Tiffany, and dated 1862. The blade is bright and the etching vivid and of the highest quality with two full-length standing figures among the motifs. The obverse panels include foliate scrolls at bottom, a full length infantryman with knapsack, kepi, accouterments and musket with bayonet fixed, followed by more scrolls, a tall panoply of arms and flags on pikes, and ending with more floral scrolls. The reverse has a prominent script “U.S.” lengthwise in the upper portion of the panel, and a defiant officer standing on a rampart with sword in one hand and one foot resting on a cannon’s mouth. Below him, in one of the geometric floral scrolls is etched, “Tiffany & Co. N.Y.” in three lines. At bottom the ricasso is stamped, “Collins & Co. / Hartford / Conn./ 1862.” The etched panels on both sides of the blade have flamboyant terminals to the background frosting. The scabbard is silver with heavily gilt mounts and a “Tiffany & Co. / M” scroll on the reverse between the upper mount and throat. Middle and upper mounts are deeply cast and chased with ribbons knotted at the sling rings that spread out to the sides of a U.S. shield. The lower mount has a deeply cast “U.S.” in the drag. The mounts like the hilt preserve their heavy gilding. Inscribed between the two ring mounts, “Presented to H.B. MASTERS / Capt. & C.S. / by his friends the Officers of the / 102nd Pa. Vol. / August 12th 1863”. With this sword is a great, wartime, silver Sixth Corps badge, consisting of a silver Greek Cross with blue enamel interior, and a gold “M,” all on a starburst background. The badge has a fixed ribbon bar on reverse and is suspended by a blue ribbon from gold bar with T-bar pin, inscribed “COMMISSARY 3d BRIGe.” “Harry B. Masters / Capt. & C.S. / Sept. 18th 1863.” With the sword and corps badge is a small postwar veteran’s badge reading “War Veterans” and “8 NYSM” hung from pin bar reading “Washington / 1861”. The wonderfully named Hibbert Boehner Masters (1839-1908) was a first responder. Canadian by birth, he was in business in NY City when war broke out and signed up as a private in Co. F, 8th NY State Militia for three months service on 4/25/61, seeing action at First Bull Run and mustering out 8/2/61. He enrolled again in NY City on 10/12/61, mustering in as 1st lieutenant Co. B, 55th NY Infantry, the Lafayette Guard, as of 11/23/61. He was captured 6/13/62 while Acting Quartermaster for Peck’s Brigade, 4th Corps, in which both the 55th NY and 102nd PA served. He escaped twice, was twice recaptured, and exchanged 27 August 1862. He was discharged 9/10/62 to accept promotion to Captain and Commissary of Subsistence (“C.S.”) volunteer forces, continuing to serve in the Sixth Corps. The suspension bar of the corps badge refers to the 3rd Brigade and the blue cross suggests service in the 3rd Division in 1863, the same organization in which the 102nd PV served until January 1864. In April 1864 Masters was attached to the 1st Brigade 2nd Division and is commended for his service as C.S. of the 2nd Division in the July actions of the 6th Corps around Washington. In June 1865 he was C.S. for 1st Division of the provisional corps, which was of former 6th Corps units. He mustered out in August 1865 and was brevetted to Major for efficient and meritorious service. After the war he maintained business interests in New York, Florida and Alabama. A member of the G.A.R., Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and President of the Union League Club, he was also a colonel in the NY National Guard. He died in New Jersey and was buried in Massachusetts. Masters did not serve in the 102nd Pennsylvania, making the presentation by its officers all the more remarkable. The timing is suggestive. A month earlier, in the Gettysburg campaign, the regiment was assigned to guard the supply trains at Westminster, where Masters would have been posted, and a detachment of 3 officers and 100 men accompanied some of those trains to the battlefield on the morning of July 3. Whatever the reason, Masters did have a long association with the regiment through his duty in their brigade. The corps badge is inscribed, dated just a month after the presentation of the sword, and has the additional touch of his initial in gold. It is not specifically presented by those officers as well, but given the closeness of the date it may have been. In any case, it makes a wonderful accompaniment to this splendid sword and is rare and desirable in its own right. CONDITION: Excellent. Rich gilt finish and vibrant etching. See Thillmann, CW Army Swords, p. 516, for a similar Tiffany presentation. Corps badge is very good with just minor wear to the ribbon. SR 15,000 - 30,000

1091 - [CIVIL WAR]. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT BEARDSLEE MAGNETO-ELECTRIC MILITARY TELEGRAPH The Beardslee Electro-Magnetic Military Telegraph was a portable military telegraph developed by George Beardslee and adopted by Lieutenant Colonel Albert J. Myer, founder and Chief of the U.S. Signal Corps, to provide a mobile field telegraph system for the Union Army shortly following the advent of the Civil War. The instrument was powered by hand-turned magnetos to send the electronic signal over insulated wire and did not require the heavy batteries needed in the civilian telegraphs. It included an alphabet dial and pointer instead of the usual key for transmission. The operator needed only to move the lever to a point on the dial representing the letter that he wished to send as part of his message, while on the receiving end, the dial would move to the corresponding position on the dial. This rare and important example of the patent Beardslee telegraph set, numbered ‘5’ in brass on its lid, is one of the first sets procured for the Union Army and thus, was almost certainly one of those that played a critical role in the early battle applications of the telegraph during the war. It is housed in its original brass-bound, wooden case measuring 14 x 20 3/4 x 11 11/16 inches (LxWxD). The case has a hinged top and when opened, the working components of the field operator are revealed, including the Beardslee patent dial set, the send and receive switch plates and the four brass posts or “hitchers” for the wiring. On the front of the box is a hinged drop-down that allows the operator access to the internal components of the system, the magnetos. Of the Beardslee telegraph, Mayer said “There were advantages to attaching to this instrument…it was portable and compact, could be set a work anywhere, required no batteries, acids, or fluids; and…could be worked by soldiers without skill as operators [but its] defects were, that messages could not be sent as rapidly or as far as by some other instruments.” He believed that “on the field of battle, or under fire,…it is, perhaps, as good an instrument as has ever been devised.” Limitations of the instrument were its short range of about ten miles due to insufficient power, slow transmission, and frequent lack of synchronization between sending and receiving sets. Mayer partly mitigated these drawbacks by establishing a field telegraph train of wagons to expedite fast and efficient deployment of the Beardslee telegraphs and their wiring systems in the field. The Beardslee telegraph was first used on 24 May 1862 during the Peninsular campaign. However, it was during the Battle of Fredericksburg when it achieved strategic importance, allowing Burnside and his subordinate commanders the ability to communicate with great effectiveness despite the fog and smoke which had impeded the usual system of flag signal communications. Approximately 60-odd Beardslee telegraphs were acquired and used during the war, of which this example (machine number 5) is an extremely rare survivor and one of only two known in private hands (three are in museum collections: one from the Hilton Head campaign now at the US Army Signal Corps Museum and two at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution). Facsimiles of its patent, military operating manual and other period references accompany the telegraph set. CONDITION: In very good condition (and presumably good working order), the electro-magnetic device complete and its case housing in very good condition. The wood with only slight surface bruises and scratches and its brass-work complete and clean. 35,000 - 100,000 36

1092 - CASED CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION SWORD OF COL. E. S. SANFORD OF THE US MILITARY TELEGRAPH. An important and fine presentation-grade Model 1850 Staff and Field Officer’s sword, 38 1/8 inches long overall, with slightly curved, wide-fullered blade 32 inches long by 1 inch wide at ricasso; the bright-finished blade bearing ‘IRON PROOF” on its spine near hilt and decorated with frosted and etched motifs and inscriptions for two-thirds of its length: on the obverse face, beginning at ricasso; the retailer’s name, “G. W. Simond / & Bro:/ Manufrs./ Philadelphia / Penn:”, followed by a scene of a telegraph station emanating rays or lightning bolts and inscribed with the following verse: “With lightning strides / Which thought alone can trace, / Annihilates in turn, / Both time, and space.”, followed by an etched view of Capitol Hill, “E Pluribus Unum” in scroll over a Federal eagle, followed by military panoplies and the patriotic motto “Our Glorious / Union / Forever” in a scroll. The reverse or left face of the blade with a panoply of arms near ricasso, a panel with “E. S. SANFORD” flanked by lightning bolts, a ‘US” within laurel sprays, followed by “LIBERTY OR DEATH” within a scroll and surmounted by floral motifs and spearpoint. The gilded-brass hilt decorated with floral motifs on guard, pommel and backstrap and the quillon in form of an eaglehead with small rubies set in the eyes and the grip wrapped with alternating gold and silver banding. The blued, steel scabbard with three gilded-brass mounts with scalloped ends and floral decorations, consisting of throat, middle-band, and chape with drag; with a presentation plaque affixed to the obverse or right side of scabbard between throat and middle-band, upon which is engraved, “Presented to Col. E. S. Sanford Military Supervisor / of the Telegraph by many Friends as a / Testimonial to his Courtesy and Impartiality / Zeal and Fidelity / May 1862.” The sword is housed in its original, wooden case (which is covered in black leather and lined with blue velvet), along with Sanford’s crimson, silk sprangwork officer’s sash (knot missing) and gold bullion sword knot. Edward Sewall Sanford (1817-1882) was president of the American Telegraph Company at the start of the Civil War and realizing that there were no appropriations for a Federal telegraph service, took it upon himself to extend the Company’s wires “to the War Department, Navy Yard, Arsenal, Chain-Bridge and other outlying points” in the District of Columbia “and for six months or more...paid all the bills, aggregating thousands of dollars, for poles, wires, instruments, salaries of operators, etc.” which were eventually repaid by an act of Congress. His expertise in telegraph communications was subsequently called upon by President Abraham Lincoln, who in an Executive Order dated 24 February 1862, placed all telegraphic lines in the United States under military control and named Sanford “military supervisor of telegraphic messages throughout the United States.” Commissioned a colonel of US Volunteers, he served as Military Supervisor of Telegraphic Messages for the War Department and as such, also had oversight of censorship for all telegraphic transmissions in the nation. He served in this capacity through the entire war, being brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers on March 13, 1865 for “meritorious services”. CONDITION: the sword and scabbard in near-mint condition, with 99% of original gilding intact on mounts, the blade with original, unmarred bright finish, sword knot in very good condition, the sash missing its turks-head knot.

1093 - SUPERB CONFEDERATE SABER: KRAFT, GOLDSCHMIDT AND KRAFT, WOOD SCABBARD Originally in the collection of Carl Pugliese, noted collector of CS swords, this classic Confederate cavalry saber has a blade in the bright and a wood scabbard retaining all of its original red varnish finish, something even rarer than the sword. This pattern has been occasionally attributed to H. Marshall of Atlanta, but his contract sabers were shorter and the K.G.&K. identification has held. Based in Columbia, SC, the firm is best known for officers’ sabers carried by Wade Hampton and (a captured one) carried by Custer, and characteristically used impressive, long, straight blades. The hilt is in pleasing, untouched attic condition with a nice age patina to the brass and just a little rubbing on the pommel and edge of the guard. Pommel, branches and guard have no bends or breaks. The grip is very good, with single wire binding and better than 90 percent of the thin leather wrap, which is notoriously prone to wear on these sabers. Short ferrule at the guard, another K.G.&K. characteristic. The blade has a typically unstopped fuller, measures 35 5-8 inches long and 1 5-16 inches wide at the base, and preserves its original leather washer and tension retaining springs. The blade is a collector’s prize: completely untouched, with good edge and point, and mirror finish, complementing the untouched look of the hilt. The scabbard is a tribute to Confederate material shortages and ingenuity. Two wood slats were mortised to fit a blade, joined together by pins, painted with red varnish and bound with three tin mounts for the brass throat, ring bands, and drag. Sometimes thought to be the work of Lewis L. and T.R. Moore of Atlanta, who supplied wooden saber scabbards to the Charleston Arsenal, they occasionally appear with swords made by B. Douglas, a Columbia, SC, maker like K.G.&K. (Ref. S. Pritchard and G.L. Jones.) The mounts preserve 90% of their bright tinning. CONDITION: Excellent and untouched with great finish to the blade and color to the scabbard. Minor surface dirt, light dings to scabbard. Slight rubs to the brass hit. A lesser example sold at Dan Morphy/ James Julia in 2007 for over $15,000. This is a wonderful example with great provenance that would stand out in any collection. SR/JK 8,000 - 12,000

1094 - CONFEDERATE COURTNEY AND TENNENT NAVAL CUTLASS WITH BRASS GUARD CS Naval cutlass made by Robert Mole of Birmingham, England, and imported by Courtney and Tennant of Charleston, South Carolina. Two-branch brass cavalry style guard with side loop and pressed leather grip scales, similar to, but smaller than the hilts of the Mole P1853 style brass hilt cavalry sabers. Blade dbl edged with narrow central fuller. Blade die stamped “MOLE” on the back edge near guard and “COURTNEY & TENNENT / CHARLESTON, S.C.” on the reverse ricasso. The company stamp is the same as on their dolphin head CSN officer’s swords. Courtney and Tennent were importers and wholesalers and major suppliers to the CS Navy, especially known for their swords and buttons. Tennent was posted in England as company agent and was commended by CSN Commander J.H. North to the CS Secretary of the Navy. These cutlasses do not follow any British specifications and are likely made under contract for the Confederate Navy. CONDITION: Very good. Pressed leather grip panels are good but with slight curl at rear on right. Brass hilt has a medium patina, no bends or breaks. A couple of small dings on the reverse guard loop. Blade muted silver with slight freckling and gray spots overall. Good point and edge with just one small nick lower edge near tip. A very good example of a CS naval weapon brought in through the blockade by a well known South Carolina firm. SR 3,000 - 4,000

1097 - CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE OF ALBERT MATLACK, 43RD OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. An interesting archive of eight wartime letters and nine covers relating to the Civil War service of Albert F. Matlack (1845-1915) of the 43rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI), covering its distinguished service in the Tennessee and Georgia campaigns, 1863-1864. Matlack enlisted for three years of Federal service on 12 December 1861 as a private in Company G of the 43rd OVI. The regiment had a hard-fighting record as part of Fuller’s Ohio Brigade in the Missouri and Tennessee campaigns of 1862, especially during the battles of Corinth. Discharged in December 1863, Matlack reenlisted (again in Company G), along with most surviving original members of the regiment, serving with it until mustered out of service with the rank of corporal at Louisville, Kentucky on 13 July 1865. After the war, Matlack spent “25 years in the railway mail service between Pittsburg and Cincinnati” per his obituary, dying in his home town of Steubenville on 19 April 1912. The eight letters were all written by Matlack and relate to the 43rd’s activities during Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign and subsequent “March to the Sea” in 1864, the first dated May 20th at Kingston, Georgia and the last at November 8th near Marietta. The recipients all resided in his hometown of Unionport in Jefferson County, namely his mother, younger brother Almeran and a former tentmate, Clark D. Beebout (discharged from Company G on 17 July 1862) and his wife Mary Martin. They provide many interesting details of the regiment’s engagements and service, as well as more mundane but colorful aspects of military life. Following the battle of Resaca, he downplays the regiment’s hard fighting in that action in a May 20th letter to his mother, but requests socks, and a calico shirt, as “there is no telling when we will stop and draw clothing again my red Flannel Shirt wasent [sic] of mutch [sic] account [as] It Shrunk up and was to[o] little for me.” He warns her that he gave a “Revolver to Lt. Thompson to take home for me if you get it don’t let Almeran take it apart as he will spoil it” and that she should “get somebody to shoot the loads out…[that] were in it when I got it.” The following day, he confessed to C. D. Beebout in another letter that “our regt. only lost 22 men killed and wounded i don’t see how we got off as well as we did [as] the 35th New Jersey a Zouave regt in our Brigade lost 25 men.” With the exception of one cover addressed to Albert Matlack at Cincinnati from Steubenville, Ohio before the regiment’s departure to the front, all other covers are for letters written by him and bear cancellation stamps in Tennessee and Georgia during 1863-1864. 600 - 1,200

1098 - RARE VIEW OF GENERAL SHERMAN AND IDENTIFIED STAFF BY GARDNER 1865 This wonderful, large format albumen photograph of General Sherman and his staff has great clarity and tones. This seems to have been taken in Washington in May 1865 when the armies of Grant and Sherman took part in the Grand Review of May 23 and May 24. For the attribution to Alexander Gardner see Zeller and the Image of War (Davis et al.) The Library of Congress owns a print, but some of their identifications are erroneous. This print bears period identifications along the bottom margin of the mount that should be regarded as authoritative. The view focuses on the officers, gathered for one last time before the armies mustered out and includes details of the studio windows, etc. that are often cropped out for artistic reasons, lending it an air of immediacy. The men are posed in two rows, seated and standing. Many wear headquarters badges of the Military Department of the Mississippi. Several left reminiscences of their military service with Sherman, including passages from the letters and campaign diaries of Major Henry Hitchcock, standing at left near Sherman, still in print. Officers are identified by name, rank, and most by staff position also. CONDITION: Excellent. Framed and ready to hang. Esthetically pleasing and historically significant. SR 1,000 - 2,000

1099 - FOLK ART PAINTING OF THE FIRING ON FORT SUMTER, 1861 Distemper or oil on cotton bed ticking, 10 ¾ x 15 inches (view) within a vernacular frame, to which the ticking is tacked on the reverse of the frame (no stretcher or strainer; signed indistinctly. This view of the firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, which ignited the Civil War, is likely a naïve work likely painted for use in a GAR Hall or for some post-war commemoration.

1101 - CIVIL WAR ESCUTCHEON FROM A U.S. MARINE ON BOARD U.S.S. CONGRESS FIGHTING THE MERRIMAC! Extremely rare service escutcheon of Civil War U.S. Marine Robert Brunt (1834-1909,) on the U.S.S. Congress in March 1862 when it fought the CS Ironclad Virginia, formerly the U.S.S. Merrimac. These armorial service records were popular among Civil War veterans, but those for Marines are extremely rare, and none more than for a leatherneck with an active combat record and who fought the Merrimac. The format is standard, with American eagle over a wreathed shield with the individual’s name in scroll at bottom, but with the seal of the Navy Department instead of a state at center, and appropriate branch insignia. Brunt’s service record is filled out by hand in gold on the three gold-bordered red arms that divide the blue shield. In summary, he enlisted in the USMC as a private in Philadelphia 20 August 1861, was assigned to the USS Congress at the end of February and in the famous battle of March 8. The ship was battered by the Confederate ironclad and her consorts and was aground and on fire when her magazine exploded. Over one hundred of the crew were killed, including the ship’s commander. Blunt did duty at the Navy Yard in Washington at various points, mixed with active service on the sloop of war “Port Royal,” service on James River and in the attack on Fort Darling, in the Marine Battalion at Cairo, Ill., and Fernandia, Fl.; on board sloop of war “Keystone State” and in ironclad attack at Charleston January 1863; in the night attack on Fort Sumter in August; in the assault on Fort Fisher in December and duty in the “experimental battery” below Washington. He was discharged 24 August 1865. A native of New Jersey and painter by profession, he lived in Woodstown when he enlisted, and Somerville from 1868 to his death in 1909. CONDITION: Excellent. Vibrant color. Matted, framed and ready to hang. Civil War U.S. Marine material is very scarce. 800 - 1,200 42

Burnside.” All four are nicely framed blue and red mats with gold highlights and engraved portraits in uniform. McClellan was relieved for many reasons, in part from inactivity after Antietam. Burnside ordered the failed, bloody assaults at Fredericksburg. Hooker started well, but lost the initiative at Chancellorsville. Meade failed to finish Lee’s army after Gettysburg, but there was no arguing with victory. Grant, however, did come east to supervise things closely in 1864.

1121 - US 40 STAR FLAG US 40 Star Flag circa 1889. These flags are quite rare, as most people anticipated North Dakota and South Dakota to be inducted as the 39th state, instead of two states which resulted in a larger scale production of 39 star flags. After the induction of the Dakotas, there was an adjustment to make 40 star flags, however 6 days later Montana officially became a state and rendered 40 star flags obsolete. Due to this rapid expansion of the United States, very few 40 star flags exist. The flag is made of wool bunting and measures approximately 99” x 56”. The hoist has three metal grommets, one on each end and one at the center. The hoist is marked with the name “H.M. Sener” and according the consigner the flag was acquired from the William Sener estate. Sener was a wealthy businessman who resided in the Lancaster, Pa. area.

There are two metal grommets on each end of the hoist. CONDITION: There are several tears and patches where the flag was shortened that exhibit evidence that this flag was wind whipped and that was the reason why it was cut down and repaired. There are various smaller rips and patches throughout the body of the flag. Some of the stars display tarnishing. There are a few areas where the flag is separating from the hoist. JD 800 - 1,200

1180 - ID’D 1930S USMC PAINTED FOOTLOCKER, UNIFORM, AND PHOTO GROUPING This is a wonderful early USMC footlocker grouping with original contents that are identified to the same marine. This grouping is ID’D John L. Dixon, who was stationed at the Marine Barracks at the Norfolk Navy Yard in the 1930s. The first item, and perhaps the highlight of this grouping, is the trunk itself, as it is adorned with a wonderfully painted USMC EGA in between two US Navy aviation roundels which were used from August 1919 through May 1942. Although the paint has faded, the colors still have a slight vibrancy that bring attention to the trunk. The trunk is otherwise typical construction for a pre WWII footlocker made out of wood with medal handles. The lock has broken off but is contained inside the trunk. The trunk exhibits scratches, dents, and other blemishes that are typical of a footlocker of this age that experienced heavy use. The contents of the trunk include Dixon’s 1923-1924 dated USMC dress blue jacket and his wool shirt. Dixon’s name does not appear in the jacket, but there are names of several other marines stamped in the sleeve. The jacket is missing a couple of buttons, one in the center and the other on the wearer’s left sleeve. Some of the buttons, as well as the EGAs display oxidation. The wool components of the jacket and shirt are otherwise untouched, as there are only a few small moth nips and the shirt has slight stains. There is a nice framed portrait photo of Dixon in his blues and a smaller 4 - 1/2” x 3” photo to go with it. There is also a photo album that is named to Dixon on the cover which contains 150+ photos of Dixon, family, friends, and landscapes. About half of the photos are USMC related and include Dixon and his friends, airships, planes, ships, and so on. There are also various pieces of ephemera related to Dixon’s time in the Marines including a liberty pass, shooting book, regulations book, sewing kit, and a hygiene kit with contents. Also included is loose insignia and a USMC hat badge as well as two souvenir USMC pillow covers. The photo album has pages that are falling apart and the bigger pillow cover has tears. As to be expected, some pieces of the ephemera are delicate, especially the photo album which has pages that have become separated. It appears that Dixon joined the Civil Air Patrol later in life, as there are photos of him in a CAP uniform and a flight jacket patch that names him as squadron commander. These time capsule footlockers are becoming harder to find and this is a fine example of an untouched grouping. CONDITION: Overall fair-good. JD 500 - 800

1181 - LOT OF 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION MEMORABILIA: PRE-WWII UNIFORMS AND WWII OCCUPATION SOUVENIRS Lot consists of: (A) Pre-WWII 1930s US Army olive drab wool tunic.

There are a few very minor moth nips that are almost unnoticeable. The tunic still retains all of its original buttons and leather belt hooks on the back. Overall excellent.

The lower sleeve has a service stripe denoting 3 years of service. The collar displays type I gilt collar discs denoting Company I of the 14th Infantry Regiment.

All stitching is tight. There are a few moth nips, particularly on the wool insignia. The service coat has very slight staining that is typical on these khaki service coats. The service coat still retains all of its original buttons and leather belt hooks on the back. Overall excellent. (C) WWII occupation made 1st Infantry Division souvenir brass letter opener that is modeled after an M1 bayonet. The blade of the letter opener displays all of the campaigns the 1st ID participated in during WWII.

1182 - PRE WWII BRIGADIER GENERAL FLAG PRESENTED BY GEORGE S. PATTON Historically significant Brigadier General Flag that was presented by George S. Patton before the United States’ entrance in World War II. The flag is constructed of wool bunting and exhibits a US Army Eagle contained within a blue star that is sewn in place underneath brigadier general rank insignia. There are two grommets on the hoist, which has reinforcement patches at each end. “WLCA #26 From: Gen. Patton 6-20-41” is written on the hoist in the top corner. The most interesting part of the flag is the hoist, not due to construction, but because the flag is inscribed and contains a note that is signed by George S. Patton. The note is typed on wax paper, and the corners have been ironed onto the hoist. The note reads “20 June 1941 / My Dear Colonel: Hope this flag will do. Tell the wife it’s all I could come up with here. Much success in her charitable venture. Glad to hear things are well at my old post. / Most Sincerely, / G.S. Patton Jr.” The flag is clearly the general officer’s flag used by Patton from October 1940 to April 1941 as brigadier general in command of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 2nd Armored Division, and acting division commander, until his promotion to major general and division commander. The recipient and occasion of the presentation are not identified, but two possibilities are strongest. One is that is a gift by Patton for a charity auction held by the wife of the colonel to whom it was sent. This would explain the number on the flag and Patton’s reference to her “charitable venture.” A possible recipient of the donation could have been Josephine Frost Woodhull, wife of Willis D. Crittenberger. An alternative is that the flag was a gift to the colonel himself on a recent or coming promotion. A number of colonels were being promoted to “temporary” brigadier general at the time. Although this flag does not directly identify the Colonel the flag was presented to, a possible candidate is Col. Willis D. Crittenberger, who was promoted to Brigadier General in 1941 and who was also a friend of Patton. After Patton was promoted to major general and later the general commanding the 2nd Armored Division in April 1941, Crittenberger took over command of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 2nd Armored Division. Patton was a brigadier general and commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade from October 1940, but was also acting commander of the division during November 1940. Crittenberger, who attended USMA and graduated with the class of 1913, was a good choice for the significant promotion to brigadier general. He was a cavalry officer who became interested in armored warfare and was a Lt. Colonel and Chief of Staff of the 1st Armored Division when promoted. Given their backgrounds, Patton likely supported Crittenberger and played a role in his promotion and transfer. Crittenberger’s promotion to Colonel was officially announced ten days later on June 30, 1941, and his promotion to Brigadier General was announced just eleven days after that, on July 11, 1941. On top of that, his transfer to the 2nd Armored Division under Patton at Fort Benning was announced just ten days after that, on July 21, 1941. This is too rapid a series of promotions and assignments not to have been in the works for some time. Although the congratulatory letter is dated June 20, 1941, Patton most likely knew about Crittenberger’s promotion and probably received word that it would go through several months ahead of time. Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that this flag was presented to him by George S. Patton who could have prepared this flag for him ahead of time. Crittenberger had a flourishing career in the Army throughout World War II as he went on to command the 2nd Armored Division when Patton took over the 1st Armored Corps and was promoted to Major General. Crittenberger then commanded the 3rd Armored Corps, redesignated as 19th Corps, before transferring to command of the 4th Corps 5th Army which was well known for its fighting in Italy. He ended his active duty service in 1952 with a successful army career behind him. This flag was previously sold by Federal Hill Autographs in 1982 to noteworthy WWII veteran and collector John K. Lattimer and a receipt of the sale addressed to Mr. Lattimer is included as provenance with this flag. CONDITION: The flag exhibits several holes which are mostly noticeable around the blue star. The largest is about the size of a pen cap. However, despite the slight damage on this flag, it is in wonderful condition and with no fading, smells, or tarnishing. The flag is a nice displayable size and measures approximately 51” x 34”. The note on the hoist displays slight tears and creases around the edges. The signature has slightly faded but is still legible with no smudging. Overall very good. This is great flag that is presented and inscribed by one of America’s most famous military commanders.

The group consists of various uniform pieces, headgear, field gear, captured Japanese equipment, and four envelopes of paperwork. The lot includes Leo Deotell Jr.’s forest green “Alpha” uniform with tunic, pants, overseas hat, and overcoat. The tunic and pants are named to Desotell Jr., while the overcoat is named to B.B. Thompson, however it has matching insignia to the tunic.

Wheeler, an unnamed spare M1 helmet liner with ghost outline of an EGA, and two pith helmets, one named to Desotell Sr. and the other named to Desotell Jr. The field gear includes a USMC M1923 cartridge belt marked “Boyt 43” named to Mike Desotell, two pistol belts, and a M1911 holster with “Sgt. Desotell U.S. Marines” written under the flap. There is also a salty canteen and mess kit. The Japanese equipment consists of a canteen and cartridge box with small wood jar.

It appears Leo Desotell Sr. was in the Marines prior to WWII and reenlisted in the USMCR to serve for the duration of national emergency. Almost every item in this group is named to either Leo Desotell Jr. or Leo Desotell Sr. CONDITION: Uniforms are very clean, with almost no signs of blemishes or mothing, there are dry cleaning tags on some of the clothing articles.

1213 - ID’D WWII USMC P41 FATIGUE SET Salty WWII P41 fatigue jacket and trousers. The jacket and trousers are both stamped on the back “H.A. Hardison” along with “4” and “11 B” which flank the stamp of an amtrac. There is also a “4” stamped on the left breast of the jacket. The set seems to be attributed to Hubert A. Hardison, who enlisted in the Marines on March 3, 1942 and became a 2nd Lieutenant in Co. B, 10th Amphibious Tractor Battalion (AMTRAC) 4th Marine Division. The 10th AMTRAC Battalion served on Kwajalien, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. The 4 on the jacket and trousers most likely relates to the 4th Marine Division, and the B for Company B, however it is unknown if Hardison had a temporary assignment with the 11th Amphibious Tractor Battalion since “11” is also stamped on the back of the jacket and trousers. CONDITION: The set only retains 3 of its original metal USMC buttons, 2 on the left sleeve and 1 on the right. The others are mismatched plastic buttons. The trousers retain all of their metal USMC buttons but have repairs at the bottom of the legs. The jacket’s USMC pocket stamp is barely visible. The set exhibits color fading and staining. This is a nice ID’D USMC fatigue set that was most likely worn in major campaigns and definitely has a “been there” look. Overall fair. JD 300 - 500

1217 - ID’D WWII USAAF 98TH BOMB GROUP A-2 FLIGHT JACKET Great WWII USAAF Type A-2 flight jacket that was worn by Staff Sergeant Walter Marsh who was a tail gunner on a B-24 in the 98th Bomb Group, 345th Bomb Squadron. Marsh is mentioned in an interview with Dean Gillham who was the ball turret gunner on Marsh’s B-24. During the interview there is no particular information revealed about Marsh except that as of 2012 he and Gillham were the last two survivors of their crew. The 98th Bomb Group started the war attached to the 9th Air Force and would later be attached to the 12th Air Force and finally the 15th Air Force when it was inactivated in 1945. During the war, the 98th BG accumulated an impressive combat record which included several notable missions in the ETO including the Ploesti raid. The exterior of the jacket displays wonderful features including a leather name strip that is stitched to the left breast that reads “S/Sgt W. Marsh”. Underneath the name strip is a beautiful Italian made 98th Bomb Group patch. The hand painted patch is embossed on leather and is in very good condition for its age, and it still has bright colors and crisp lines. The right breast of the jacket has an equally attractive Italian made patch that is also hand painted and embossed on leather. The patch depicts a multicolored map of Europe and is surrounded by 50 bombs denoting the missions that Marsh flew during his time in the 345th Bomb Squadron. The left shoulder has a nice Italian made 15th Air Force patch that like the others, is also hand painted and embossed on leather. The word “Connecticut” is printed on the top and the bottom scroll reads “98 Bomb Group”. There is ghost stitching on the right shoulder and it appears there was once an American flag patch sewn to the shoulder at one point. The jacket retains its original liner and specification tag. The tag has faded but reads “Type A-2 / Drawing No. 30-1415 / Order Bo. W535 A.C. 27798 / Property / Air Force U.S. Army / J.A. Dubow MFG. CO. Chicago, ILL. / 38”. The zipper is original and is marked “Talon”. There is no artwork on the back of the jacket, but it is still a very attractive display piece especially with the Italian made patches. Included with the jacket is a copy of a period photo of Marsh wearing what is undeniably the same jacket that was taken in Italy on April 2, 1945. CONDITION: The leather is a bit stiff but still pliable. There is some separation on the 98th Bomb Group patch as about 1/3 of the stitching has come loose. There is a tear on the left shoulder where it connects to the epaulette. There is a greenish paint stain to the lower back of the left arm. The cuffs and waistband appear to be original to the jacket and are in excellent condition. The leather does have slight cracking in typical areas. There are two sets of stitch holes around the patches on the chest indicating that the patches were once removed and later sewn back on the jacket. The interior of the jacket is in rough shape as the liner is heavily worn. There are several tears, probably from removing the jacket while wearing other flight gear and possible post war use. Overall a very nice ID’D A-2 jacket complete with a picture of the airman wearing the jacket during the war. JD 1,500 - 2,500 86

1227 - WWII SILVER STAR ID’D TO 36TH INFANTRY DIVISION STAFF SERGEANT PAUL EDGAR SMITH FOR THE BATTLE OF SAN PIETRO WWII Silver Star Medal awarded to Staff Sergeant Paul Edgar Smith for actions during the Battle of San Pietro. Smith was born on 10/27/1917 in Winder, GA, and was working as a farm hand in Huntsville, Texas, when he joined the Texas National Guard. He mobilized from the Texas National Guard on November 25, 1940 as part of the 36th Division. Smith was assigned to Co. F, 2nd Bn, 143rd U.S. Infantry, 36th Division. The division took part in the Louisiana and Carolina maneuvers of 1941 and 1942, trained at Camp Blanding and Camp Edwards, and went overseas in April 1943, landing in North Africa and taking part in amphibious training. The 36th landed in Italy at Salerno and fought in the Italian campaign, fighting at Mt. Lungo, San Pietro, and taking heavy casualties at the Rapido (Gari) River. After that, the 36th landed at Anzio and helped lead the breakout to Rome, capturing Velletri in June.

Smith was recognized for his actions during the Battle of San Pietro, after which he was awarded the Silver Star. The Battle of San Pietro was fought from December 8 to December 17, 1943, in an effort to pierce the German “Winter Line.” A newspaper account published in the Fort Worth Gazette, mentioning Smith, recounts three days of fierce fighting along Hill 1205, a mile from San Pietro, with Americans attacking German positions repeatedly from a 300-yard stretch of stone wall: “At the end of three days the Germans were driven out of their dugouts by American bayonets and handgrenades.” The article mentions ten Silver Stars being awarded in one regiment and lists Smith among four Texans cited. The battle is very well known and was the subject of John Huston’s documentary: “The Battle of San Pietro.” After the war, Smith returned to Texas and married. He passed away on July 14, 1967 at the young age of 49. He is interred in the Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville.

Aggressive and determined while carrying out fierce bombing raids on Japanese airfields at Kahili and Buka on 26 Sept and 27 Oct, respectively, Capt.

Flying two sorties in the Monoitu Mission Area, Bougainville, on 31 Dec, he executed powerful dives on three bridges vital to enemy communications and placing his bombs with skilled precision, demolished two of the hostile structures and rendered the third useless. Striking boldly against a concentration of Japanese merchant ships in Rabaul Harbor on 17 Jan, he relentlessly pressed home a masthead bombing attack in the face of terrific aerial opposition and devastating antiaircraft fire from both ship and shore batteries, scoring a near miss on an important cargo vessel to damage it severely. By his superb airmanship and zealous devotion to duty under the most difficult and dangerous combat conditions throughout these and numerous other vital missions, Capt. Goodman contributed essentially to the success of his squadron in inflicting serious losses upon enemy in this strategic area. His gallant conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.” The lot includes Goodman’s Cased Air Medal, DFC, and his Caterpillar Club certificate and pin.

1263 - EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF USMC RELATED LIGHTERS This is a unique collection of 150+ USMC lighters. About 1/4 of the collection is modern USMC related lighters. The rest of the collection are distinctive Vietnam War lighters. The subject matter of the lighters is quite interesting, they range from geographical locations, to units, to phrases. Some of the phrases are quite humorous as some lighters are inscribed with sayings like “Always ripped or always stoned I made it a year I’m going home” and “When I die bury me face down so the whole world can kiss my ass goodbye”. Others are more philosophical and read “One has never lived till he has almost died life has a flavor the protected will never know”. The more interesting lighters are inscribed with somewhat vulgar phrases that are probably not suitable for our catalog. This is a great collection that sheds light on the more personal side of the Vietnam War and probably took a lot of time to accumulate.

Lewis was with the 92nd at Fort Mills and spent most of his time in the Army in the Philippines after he graduated from Texas A&M in 1938. He and his wife were posted to Philippines for two years duty and about to return to Texas when war became imminent. His wife at the time was able to be sent home, however Lt.

1289 - KIA PEARL HARBOR DOCUMENT LOT ID’D TO USS NEVADA SAILOR GEORGE J. STEMBROSKY I desire to offer to you my personal condolence in the tragic death of your son, George Joseph Stembrosky, Seaman second class, United States Navy, which occurred at the time of the attack by the Japanese on December seventh. It is hoped that you may find some comfort in the thought that he made the supreme sacrifice upholding the highest traditions of the Navy, in the defense of his country. These are the words that were read by George Stembrosky Sr. when he was notified of his son’s death after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Stembrosky family immigrated to the United States in 1890. George Stembrosky Jr. was born on January 30, 1921 in Coaldale Pennsylvania. In order to support his family, George Stembrosky Sr. worked in coal mines and since coal mining was generational work, George Jr. was expected to follow his father into the mines. However George Jr. was a very active youth, playing basketball and football in high school. After completing high school, rather than commit his life to the coal mines, George decided that he wanted to serve in the Navy and on October 16, 1940, George traveled to Philadelphia and enlisted in the Navy. During this uneasy year, George would complete his training and hold the rank of Seaman Second Class. George was assigned to the WWI veteran battleship USS Nevada (BB-36) which would be transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1940. On December 1, 1941, George was promoted to Seaman First Class just six days before he would meet his fate. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, The USS Nevada was the only battleship able to maneuver since the ship was not moored beside another battleship. The Nevada made an attempt to escape the harbor, but during the second wave of the attack, the Japanese forces concentrated their attack on the ship in order to attempt to block the harbor. With fears of blocking the harbor, the Nevada was ordered to be beached and managed to force down three Japanese aircraft before the ship hit shore. The Nevada suffered 3 officers and 47 enlisted men killed, with George Stembrosky included. The lot consists of George’s posthumously awarded Purple Heart Certificate and accolade that are contained in the original shipping tube that was sent to George’s family after his death. There are also four other documents related to George’s death including a form from the WWII Veterans’ Compensation Bureau, Report of Death, a typed letter by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that is probably secretary signed, and a Telegram addressed to George Stembrosky Sr. informing him of his son’s death dated Dec. 24, 1941. CONDITION: The Purple Heart and accolade display slight tarnishing and creases around the edges but are in otherwise great condition as they have been contained in the original shipping tube. The documents that are addressed to George Sr. have noticeable folds and tears but are in otherwise good condition. This is a historically significant document grouping that needs to be preserved in a serious collection. JD 500 - 800 114

1290 - HAWAII AND PHILIPPINES MILITARY SERVICE, 1935-1942: THE PHOTO-ARCHIVES OF MIA PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT JOHN DROTAR John L. Drotar was born to George and Mary Petrusky Drotar on 13 March 1913, his father was a steelworker and died of pneumonia in Johnstown, Pennsylvania five years later, leaving John to be raised by his mother, who later remarried. Drotar enlisted in the US Army in 1935 and following basic training stateside, was assigned to the 8th Field Artillery Battalion of the Hawaiian Division at Schofield Barracks. Drotar, judging by his correspondence, was adventurous, athletic and fun-loving. Evidenced also by the two photo albums that survive from his 4-year stint in Battery C of the 8th FA, as well as his letters home from Hawaii and the Philippines before the attack on Pearl Harbor, which compose the bulk of this military archive. Photos of Drotar and his comrades relaxing off-duty in Honolulu beer gardens, the beach, and during lulls in field maneuvers are interspersed through both albums (one containing a mint example of the 8th FA cloth patch), along with photos of him competing in battalion and divisional boxing matches. To the student of the pre-war “brown shoe” army in Hawaii, his albums provide an invaluable photographic resource, showing mechanized towed field artillery, antiaircraft batteries and coastal artillery, as well as armor and infantry, in scenarios that include drill, wargames, and military reviews. Drotar and his camera also captured planes of the Army Air Corps at nearby Wheeler Field and Navy vessels at Pearl Harbor. Important non-military events are also chronicled in photographs of the arrival of Amelia Earhart and crew in her Lockheed Electra at Wheeler through her stay prior to the failed takeoff from Ford Island that aborted her attempted circumnavigation of the globe in March 1937. Returning stateside in 1939, Drotar reenlisted in the quartermaster corps and was this time sent to Manila and assigned to the Headquarters Company, Philippine Division. His last letter to his mother, written from Pasig Rizal on 22 October 1941 (part of the correspondence in this archives and, per her penciled annotation, received three days before the attack on Pearl Harbor), John noted that we “got in a couple days ago from a 2500 mile trip…nearly 3 months”, in which they took full packs or war regalia with us…always moving by sea and land…to establish supply bases on the most important Islands.” Drotar ruefully admits that “when supply activities are done then we have to round up the native boys and send them here to the Island of Luzon for the army”, confessing that “It’s a hard task for us Amer[ican] boys and officers but its all in prepare [sic] for war.” Drotar believed that he would be returning home in time for Christmas, sailing to “Hong Kong and Shanghai and maybe to the states….on American President Lines, Travel 2nd class” and advises to “Have a batch of good old home brew ready for Xmas, Mom”, as “home brew is unknown over here” and only two breweries, “San Miguel and Balintawak.” After the fall of Corregidor and surrender at Bataan, Drotar was MIA and in 1944, Drotar was determined to have been killed in action, as reflected in a condolence certificate signed in autopen by President Franklin Roosevelt and dated 8 May 1944, accompanied by a Purple Heart Certificate signed by Secretary of War Stimson on that date. It was not until following the liberation of the Philippines that Private Drotar’s actual fate was fully determined from the positive identification of his remains, found in the Camp O’Donnell Prisoner of War Cemetery on Luzon (later reinterred at the Fort McKinley Military Cemetery in Manila and date of death estimated and another set of certificates, again signed by President Roosevelt and the Secretary of War, were sent to his mother (now Mary Sirokman), both reflecting May 5, 1942 as the updated “official” (but estimated) date of death. General Douglas MacArthur, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, Pacific, also sent a letter of condolence, signed (possibly in autopen) and dated 21 July 1945. In addition to the above documents and the photo pre-war photo albums, there are extensive communications from the War Department and the Red Cross to Mrs. Sirokman concerning her son’s status from 1942-1945 and a resulting survivor’s pension in 1946, as well as newspaper articles, contained in this fascinating, yet tragic, collection. Provenance: By descent in the Drotar-Sirokman family to present. CONDITION: The spines of the two photo albums are partly separated, but contents intact and in very good condition; newspapers folded and with toning; personal letters and official documents with original covers in very good condition, including McArthur letter; condolence and Purple Heart certificates (4) bright, but with a few marginal finger smudges to one of the Roosevelt examples. 1,000 - 3,000

1412 - WORLD WAR II JAPANESE NAVAL LANDING FORCES HELMET WITH COVER Very fine and clean example of a Type 90 combat helmet with its original cover that was worn by members of the Naval Landing Forces. This helmet is exceptional, as it is complete with its original liner, cover, chin straps, and metal naval landing forces helmet insignia. The helmet is excellent both inside and out. The first pattern model cloth cover does not display any rips or tears. There is only slight scuffs and marks that are probably from the light wear that this helmet experienced. The front of the cover displays the multi piece wool insignia of the Imperial Navy. The insignia does show some wool loss around the top and on either side of the anchor. Underneath the cover, the steel helmet retains almost all of its original wartime paint and displays several chips and scratches from service use. Both rivets are present and the naval landing forces insignia has suffered no paint loss. The helmet interior is as clean on the inside as the liner shows little wear. The “pillows” behind the three leather liner tongues remain filled. At the center of the interior past the liner, the numbers “2051” are written in white paint. One of the liner’s leather tongues displays kanji, which is presumably the identification of the Japanese sailor who wore the helmet. The stitching around the liner is tight and shows no signs or tearing or coming loose. The fabric chin strap is complete but suffers from staining and some fraying, especially around the metal ring mounts that secure it in place. The metal rings both show signs of rust and have caused staining to the strap. CONDTION: Overall very good, this is a great example of a complete Type 90 Naval Landing Forces helmet that will make a wonderful addition to a Japanese militaria or headgear collection.

The flag was captured by T.H. Sayers, who was a MACV Advisor for the South Vietnamese 44th Ranger Battalion. During December 1968, the 44th Rangers were slowly clearing the U-Minh forest of Viet Cong resistance. After about a 3 week struggle on December 31, 1968, South Vietnamese forces accompanied by US Advisors were able to flush the Viet Cong forces out of the forest. During this last intense push to remove the Viet Cong, an American Captain by the name of James N. Rowe had recently escaped from a prison camp where he was held for 5 years between October 29, 1963 and December 31, 1968. Captain Rowe was part of the 5th Special Forces Group and was assigned as an advisor to South Vietnamese forces at the time of his capture. He was picked up by US helicopters that were supporting the 44th Rangers during the day this flag was captured. After Captain Rowe’s rescue, Sayers and the Vietnamese Rangers were clearing out bunkers that were held by the Viet Cong. This Russian flag was obtained by Sayers after he finished clearing out an enemy occupied bunker. He brought this flag home as a souvenir from Vietnam and it has since been framed with a plaque which bears the story. The flag frame measures 68” x 90” and is accompanied by a framed note of provenance that was written by Sayers in 1996 that details the rescue of Captain Rowe and the fighting in the U-Minh forest. The framed note measures 14” x 28”. CONDITION: The flag displays various stains and tears that are expected of a flag that was captured after a battle. There are scattered holes throughout the flag which were most likely a result of the firefight. The flag is said to retain stains from communist DNA that is present on all four corners. Overall good. This is a great capture flag with even better provenance. JD This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. 1,000 - 2,000 162

1442 - BEAUTIFUL RECURVED SCAGEL HUNTER WITH SHEATH (1929-1931). This style of Scagel is extremely hard to find as there were not many made. These knives were sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. Scagel would often send the knife only and Abercrombie & Fitch would then send it to Heiser to custom make the sheath to fit each knife.

This knife has a particularly distinct pattern, which creates an attractive and impressive effect. The crown stag pommel is retained by two brass pins. Handle measures about 5-1/4” overall. Complete with its original custom-made Heiser “Pancake” hand-tooled sheath. It is important to note the sheath is canted to fit the brass guard, which helps to date this knife.

Markings are deep and crisp. Handle is excellent, showing one minor dent near the top of the spacers on the left side. Sheath is excellent, showing little or no use.

1446 - (C) COLT POLICE POSITIVE .22 CALIBER REVOLVER BELONGING TO WILLIAM SCAGEL WITH HANDMADE LEATHER HOLSTER AND SCAGEL’S NRA CARD. William Wales Scagel was born February 12, 1873 near Alpena, Michigan, spending much of his youth in Canada. Scagel began making knives in 1910 while working at lumber camps throughout Michigan and Canada. In 1920 William Scagel set up a knife-making shop near Fruitport, Michigan on land he called “Dogwood Nub”. Scagel sold his knives through Abercrombie & Fitch of New York and their subsidiaries such as Von Lengerke & Antoine. Scagel made a variety of knives including Bowie Knives, fighting knives, and folding knives. His trademark handles were constructed using half stag and half leather washers incorporating spacers made of ivory, rosewood, bakelite, maple, and vulcanized fiber. Scagel became a mentor to Bo Randall during the late 1930’s influencing many of Randall knife designs. Scagel died on March 26, 1963 at 90 years old. Presented in this lot is William Scagel’s personal 1923 vintage Colt Police Positive double action revolver, serial number 20278. Chambered in .22 RF. The barrel is cut down from the original length of 6” to approximately 3-5/8”. A well-constructed barrel band which incorporates a pinned front sight is probably the work of William Scagel. Blued with two-piece checkered hard rubber black grips with Colt logo. Accompanying the revolver is a handmade leather holster reported to be made by William Scagel, along with his NRA Membership Card. Revolver, holster, and NRA card are pictured on page 185 of James R. Lucie’s book “Scagel Handmade”, and comes from the personal collection of Dr. James R. Lucie. CONDITION: Very good overall. Showing approximately 15-20% original blue blending with a blue-grey patina. Grips show moderate to heavy wear with a 3/4” x 1/4” section of material missing on the right side at the heel.

2095 - (A) EXPERIMENTAL BRITISH MILITARY PERCUSSION MUSKET BY ADAMS WITH SHRAPNEL PATENT BACKSIGHT. Manufacturer: Robert Adams Model: Experimental British Adams Patent Musket with Shrapnel Sight Caliber/Bore: 14 Bore .70 Caliber Barrel Length: 39 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Experimental British military musket made in the form of the British Pattern 1851 Minié Rifle with a nominally .702” bore that is smooth and not rifled. Rust blue oxidized to brown barrel retained by wedges, brass furniture, and straight-gripped walnut stock with Lovell’s side nail cups. Lock marked “Adams’s Patent” and breech with two sets of proofs, a full set of London commercial proof marks, and a full set of British military proof marks. Bottom of barrel marked by Birmingham barrel maker “BEASLEY”. Not equipped with Lovell’s Patent bayonet catch. Button head ramrod with swelled shank and central groove designed to be retained by the lip of the forend cap, similar to those used on some late 18th century British military carbines. The lock is an incredibly interesting Adams patent simplified lock system. The lock is screwless and the lower end of the mainspring terminates in the teeth normally associated with a tumbler. The sear is a projection from the lower body of the hammer that engages the “tumbler”. The tumbler has a projection that functions as a trigger bar, which is released by the trigger bearing on it from above, pushing the “tumbler” down and releasing the hammer. The system is amazingly simple and elegant and functions very smoothly with a much nicer trigger pull than a conventional military musket. As there is no conventional tumbler, the hammer has a male threaded post and spanner nut that secures it to the lock. Equipped with an intriguing and fully adjustable backsight marked “Shrapnel/Patent/No 61”. Lieutenant General Henry Shrapnel is probably best remembered today as the inventor of “spherical case” artillery ammunition, a hollow projectile filled with explosives that was designed to detonate via a fuse system over the heads of enemy troops. Today, his name has become synonymous with the cause of most wounds due to artillery fragments; “shrapnel”. Robert Adams, his partner John Deane (of Deane, Adams & Deane) and a Captain Shrapnel (possibly the son or grandson of Henry) were all involved with the development of what would become the Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle Musket, an improved evolution of the first rifled arm for general issue in the British military, the Pattern 1851 Minié Rifle. This gun appears to be offering a sample of a potential sighting system that could have been adopted for the new guns under development. Much of the experimentation with features that would become standard for the Pattern 1853 were experimented with on Pattern 1851 guns, including various forms of rifling and ammunition. Numerous experimental backsights were tested for adoption with the Pattern 1853, so many in fact that the initial order for the guns included two types of rear sights. It seems that this gun may have been made up to demonstrate the very interesting Adams patent lock and Shrapnel rear sight. It is a very intriguing prototype or experimental musket worthy of additional research. CONDITION: About fine. Retains some of the period rust blue on the exterior with scattered surface oxidation and some freckled crusting, showing some patches of minor roughness. Bottom of the barrel retains much of the finish. Lock with traces of case color and a mottled brown patina on the exterior and some remnants of vivid color on the interior. Markings remain clear. Lock crisp and functional. Smooth bore bright and fine with some scattered oxidation and a coating of Cosmoline. Backsight remains fully functional with legible markings. Ramrod slightly short of full length with no threads at the end. Brass with a dark, uncleaned patina. Stock crisp with numerous small bumps, dings, and mars from handling, storage, and use. Retains a heavy coating of Cosmoline. An exceptionally intriguing musket in a lovely state of preservation. TP 4,000 - 8,000

Manufacturer: Harper Model: 1841 Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled Barrel Length: 33” FFL Status: Antique Standard configuration, with Harpers Ferry model 1855 arsenal upgrade done circa 1856-1859. This is a “Type III” conversion, per Moller’s. The conversion consisted of a bayonet lug being added to the right side of the muzzle, front sight was changed to the 1855 pattern, forend was shortened 2 - 1/4” and was retrofitted with the new pattern short nose cap. 1855 pattern long range rear sight. The barrels were also rebored to .58 caliber. Proper “AW/ P” inspectors mark on the left side of the barrel. Matching 1849 dates on the lock and barrel tang. “WCK” inspectors mark on the right side of the barrel just ahead of the bolster as well as on the left side of the stock, on the flat opposite the lock. Has a rack number of “13” on the trigger guard tang. No other visible markings on any of the brass components. Ramrod appears old, however could very well be a reproduction. CONDITION: Barrel retains 60% original thinning brown finish mixed with a pleasing patina and some light surface rust and dings. All markings are clear on steel parts and stock. Brass has been cleaned at some point and is bright, slowly returning to a dull color. Wood has dings and handling marks. Bore has strong rifling. Fine mechanical function. GR 2,500 - 3,500

Manufacturer: Westley Richards Model: Monkey Tail Carbine Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled Paper Cartridge Barrel Length: 22 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique Developed in 1858 by the Birmingham firm of Westley Richards and known as a Pattern No. 5 and was used to fill a cavalry carbine void in the British Army.

Interesting wood buttplate. Stock has saddle ring bar with no ring. Percussion lock marked “Westley Richards”.

Guns like this often used by the Boers in South Africa. CONDITION: Overall good with 60% original fading finish. Bright and shiny bore with good mechanics. DLM 800 - 1,200 2101 - (A) BRITISH PATTERN 1840 SERGEANTS OF THE LINE PERCUSSION CARBINE. Manufacturer: RSAF Enfield Model: Pattern 1840 Sergeants of the Line Carbine Caliber/Bore: 12 Bore / .74 Caliber Barrel Length: 33” FFL Status: Antique Adopted in 1840 as a shorter version of the Pattern 1839 Line Infantry Musket and remaining in service through the mid-1850s, these muzzleloading smoothbore musketoons were produced based on both the P1839 and later P1842 musket patterns. This is a P1839 style example produced after about 1844 as it is equipped with a Lovell’s Patent bayonet catch. The round smoothbore barrel is blued with British military proofs at the breech as well as a pair of “Opposed Broad Arrows” indicating the gun was sold out of service. The color casehardened lock is marked “(CROWN)/V*R/ENFIELD”. The brass furniture includes a correct New Land Pattern “S” shaped side plate with central wood screw, a buttplate that is marked NV 19 on the tang, trigger guard, buttplate, nosecap, and ramrod pipes. Retains both sling swivels and the full-length button head ramrod which is engraved “19” to match the buttplate. The rack number likely indicates use by Yeomanry or British colonial forces during the gun’s service life. The one-piece smooth walnut stock is pinned, as were the Pattern 1839 muskets, correct for this pattern of carbine. No rear sight as is correct, combination front sight/bayonet lug on top of barrel near muzzle. A very nice example of a pre-Crimean War sergeant’s carbine not often seen for sale in America. CONDITION: Very good. The barrel retains some thinning blue that is fading and shows wear, blending with an evenly oxidized brown patina. Metal is mostly smooth with scattered light surface oxidation and some minor erosion at the muzzle and breech area. Markings in metal remain legible, weaker in wood. Lock cleaned to a silvery gray color with no external case color visible. Lock mechanically functional, smooth bore apparently very good with a heavy coat of Cosmoline obscuring much of the metal. Stock with a moderate number of scattered bumps, dings, mars, and handling marks. Stock solid, full-length, and free of any repairs or serious damage. TP 1,200 - 1,800 2102 - (A) LOT OF 2: EUROPEAN PERCUSSION RIFLES.

2103 - (A) BELGIAN-MADE SPANISH CONTRACT PERCUSSION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Belgian Contract Model: Back Action Rifle Serial No. 424 Caliber/Bore: 15mm / .59 Caliber Barrel Length: 32 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Back action percussion military rifle with blued barrel secured by three flat brass spring retained barrel bands. Lock marked “H”, dated “1858” and serial numbered “424”. Matching assembly/serial number also present on stock, breech, and buttplate. Furniture other than bands of steel. Adjustable L-shaped leaf rear sight with additional apertures in long leaf of typical Spanish pattern, secured to the barrel by a clamping band with musket style combination front sight/bayonet socket bayonet lug. Spanish pattern ramrod with brass band around head. Sling swivels on middle band and trigger guard bow. European hardwood stock with single lock screw escutcheon on reverse and dated and serial numbered to match the balance of the gun. Like so many Spanish percussion military arms of the period, including the Spanish Modelo 1857 Rifle that replaced this pattern of rifle, the gun is strongly influenced by existing European percussion rifle patterns, with some distinctly Spanish features like the rear sight and the ramrod. These arms saw heavy use with the Spanish military in colonial service, especially Cuba, and remained in service even after more modern designs had made these rifles obsolete. An article published on July 1, 1864 in the Spanish newspaper La Iberia refers to the use of these obsolete Spanish rifles by troops in Cuba and the sale of the more modern models to Confederate buyers. The article reads in part: “Units of the Spanish Army in Cuba are currently equipped with expensive and inefficient Liège rifles, while La Euscalduna (a Spanish arms contractor) has to sell their precision weapons to the Confederate South Commissioners, eager to buy them.” Spanish percussion military rifles of any pattern are extremely rare in the US and this is a very crisp and very scarce example of one of the Liège arms referred to by La Iberia. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Barrel retains some thinning blue mixed with a moderately oxidized plum-brown patina with some scattered surface roughness and scattered pinpricking. Lock is mechanically functional and operates crisply on all positions. Brass has a thickly oxidized and untouched patina. Stock is solid, full-length, and crisp. The entire gun has the remnants of a thick coating of Cosmoline with the heaviest build up in the protected areas, nooks and crannies. Bore is apparently very good or better with visible rifling, but a thick layer of Cosmoline makes accurate inspection impossible. A wonderful, complete, and correct example of a scarce Spanish military rifle that is well preserved by the added Cosmoline which can be removed. TP 1,500 - 3,000

2104 - (A) LOT OF TWO: PERCUSSION HALF-STOCK FOLWERS BY WALLACE AND PRATT.

Retains much of the reapplied brown on barrel with attractive Damascus visible, with a few dings and areas of old inactive oxidation. Stock is very good with normal bumps and bruises throughout and a few areas of oil darkening. Extra coat of varnish has been applied to stock. Action works appropriately, bore looks very good but has thick areas of preservative that obscure. (B) Pratt half stock fowler.

2105 - (A) EXPERIMENTAL BRITISH MILITARY INSIDE LOCK PERCUSSION MUSKET. Manufacturer: E. Baker Model: Inside Lock Musket of Pattern 1842 Style Caliber/Bore: 12 Bore - .73 Caliber Barrel Length: 39” FFL Status: Antique Experimental British military percussion musket based upon the Pattern 1842 musket with an inside lock system apparently similar to the American Morse patent inside lock. Round browned barrel secured to the stock with three flat keys and the screw for the upper swivel in the style of the P1842 musket. Standard British military proofs at breech including the expected “(crown) / TP / (broad arrow)”, “(crown) / B / 7” Birmingham inspector and “(crown) / (broad arrow)” government ownership mark. Bottom of barrel of marked “J CLIVE” for the Birmingham barrel maker John Clive. Breech plug tang is cut forward of the breech pinhole, and measures roughly 3/8” in length. The barrel may have been obtained from ordnance stores and used for this sample or experimental musket. Lock unmarked on interior. “E BAKER” stamped clearly in toe of stock with the names “E BAKER” and “L DEAN” found in the ramrod channel. Equipped with standard Pattern 1842 fixed back sight, combination musket front sight and bayonet lug, Lovell’s patent bayonet catch under the barrel and with sling swivels in their standard locations. Brass buttplate and ramrod pipes appear to be of standard Board of Ordnance pattern as well. Concave tip, button-head iron ramrod of typical ordnance pattern marked “R&WA” for the Birmingham contractors R&W Aston. Brass trigger guard unique with short tang and thicker than standard British military trigger guards of the period, secured by a screw at each end. Inside lock with exposed “feather” or sear spring mounted above the trigger. Hammer secured with a spanner nut to tumbler with a male thread. The snail (bolster) is of unique design with a flat bottom and rear face and a faceted angle on the lower front edge, not typical of any British ordnance snail of the period. Rear half of stock is completely unique for British military arms of the period with a bulbous and rounded lock area and no flats, side plate or side nail cups incorporated into the design. Ezekiel Baker (b1758) founded the gunmaking company that bore his name during the last decade of the 18th century. Baker had completed his apprenticeship under the famed and innovative gunsmith Henry Nock from 1785-1787 and became a gun barrel maker initially. Baker became a major contractor to the Board of Ordnance from 1794, and the East India Company from 1803. He is probably most famous for the British military Baker Rifle that bears his name. The firm became Ezekiel Baker & Son circa 1823 and finally Elizabeth Baker & Co circa 1856-1860. The senior Baker was an innovative builder and designers of arms and also ran afoul of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers when he proposed a new way to prove barrels other than in the London proof house, which was controlled by the guild. Baker also invented improved flintlock actions, bullets, bayonets, bullet molds and a “gun stocking machine” (Blackmore). Baker’s son John received registered design #141 in 1851 and British Patent #3208 of 1852 for improve gun locks, which is likely the patent that covers the design here. It is quite possible that the design originated with the elder Baker who may have been intrigued by the screwless lock designs of his mentor Henry Nock. It is not clear if this gun was produced for Board of Ordnance trials or simply as a sample to try to sell the concept. Other experimental muskets without lock plates tested during this period included underhammer designs by Wilkinson as well as Baron von Heurteloup’s underhammer, automated priming design. An amazingly intriguing British percussion musket in a fantastic state of preservation. CONDITION: Very fine to excellent. Barrel retains most of the period brown with some thinning and fading. Metal extremely smooth with only some light pinpricking and peppering around the breech area. Markings remain clear and crisp, mechanically functional, bore is fine and bright with some lightly scattered oxidation. Smoothbore dusty but apparently about fine with some scattered oxidation. Ramrod with some scattered pitting and soft markings. Brass with an attractive dull golden patina. Wood extremely crisp with some light handling marks and lightly scattered dings and mars. A truly wonderful condition musket. TP 4,000 - 8,000 2106 - (A) T. J. HART PATENT BREECHLOADING PERCUSSION CARBINE. Manufacturer: Thomas James Hart Model: Hart’s Patent Breechloading Percussion Carbine Caliber/Bore: .59 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 20 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Percussion patent breechloading carbine by T.J. Hart. Blued barrel with Birmingham commercial view, provisional proof and definitive proof marks as well as a pair of “30” gauge marks indicating it was originally nominally .54 caliber. Barrel secured with a single wedge and a Palmer patent clamping band. Top of chamber marked “T.J. HART’S PATENT”. Unmarked percussion lock, Pattern 1856 carbine leaf rear sight, musket style front sight. Carbine is not mounted with sling swivels or sling bar. Brass trigger guard and buttplate, figured walnut stock. Enfield style ramrod cut to fit the gun. Thomas Hart was a Birmingham gunmaker who worked as a gun, rifle and pistol maker as well as a gun barrel maker circa 1840-1865. In 1859 he received British Patent No. 1580/1859 for a percussion ignition bolt action breechloader of the type offered here. The design appears to blend features of both the Terry’s patent and the Wilson’s patent capping breechloaders, with a simple and effective rotating breech bolt with a sliding lock. Sliding the wing-shaped bolt lock out releases the bolt lock. The lock can then be rotated 45-degrees upwards unlocking the bolt and allowing the mushroom-shaped disc at the rear of the bolt to pulled out. This exposes the chamber, allowing for the insertion of the combustible cartridge. Pushing the bolt closed pushes the cartridge into the breech and then rotating the locking handle back down locks the bolt. An interesting and unusual early English breechloading system that never really got off the ground. CONDITION: Good to very good. Barrel with a thickly oxidized brown patina showing some pinpricking and light pitting at the breech and some more moderate pitting around the muzzle. Barrel band with moderate pitting as well. Lock thickly oxidized as well, with crisp action. Action is mechanically functional. Barrel has been bored smooth and now measures about .59 caliber. Bore shows moderate oxidation and a thick layer of Cosmoline. Brass with an untouched bronze patina. Stock with attractive figuring and possibly lightly sanded as the edges are slightly soft. Wood with scattered light handling marks and minor dings, otherwise solid and free of break or repairs. Gun with an old thin coat of Cosmoline over much of its surfaces. TP 2,000 - 4,000

2171 - (A) CAPE CAVALRY DOUBLE BARREL PERCUSSION CARBINE. Manufacturer: Barnett Model: Cape Cavalry Carbine Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Antique Gauge: 12 Bore / .74 Caliber Double barrel percussion smoothbore carbine by Barnett of London, engraved “Cape Cavalry” on the rib in script and marked “BARNETT LONDON” on both the back action locks. Browned Damascus patterned barrels with hooked breeches secured to the one-piece straight gripped smooth walnut stock with a single wedge. Mounted with a 5 - 1/2” sling bar with 1 - 3/8” sling ring. Captive swivel ramrod with large palm disc. Brass furniture includes the buttplate, which is numbered “24/12”, large scroll shaped trigger guard and screw secured forend cap. Matching mating mark of two file slashes throughout on all major parts. No rear sight, bead front sight. This pattern of percussion carbine was based on Pattern of 1839 Irish Constabulary Carbine but was in musket bore rather than carbine bore and did not include a bayonet mounting bar. These guns saw use with the Cape Cavalry of South Africa during the mid 1830s-1840s. These were transitional guns from the Pattern of 1822 double barreled flintlock carbine and the Pattern of 1853 double barreled rifled carbine. Few examples exist with British Board of Ordnance marks, suggesting that most were acquired privately and many probably saw use with various South African militia units in addition to the Cape Cavalry. This example bears no Board of Ordnance markings and shows minimal markings under the barrel, indicating a commercial example that may have been assembled in South Africa using some imported parts, as the expected British commercial proof marks are not present above or below the barrels. An interesting and unique British double barrel carbine not often seen for sale in the US. CONDITION: Very good, with the barrels retaining some strong traces of old Damascus patterning as well as some thinned and dulling brown on their exteriors with more pattern and richer brown underneath where the stock has protected the finish. Metal is mostly smooth with some scattered patches of minor surface oxidation and light. All markings remain clear, locks remain mechanically functional. Smooth bores with moderate oxidation and some scattered light pitting. Brass with a medium bronze patina. Swivel ramrod functional with replaced palm disc and opposite end not threaded for implements. Stock lightly sanded with scattered bumps, dings and mars but solid and free of any breaks or repairs.

Manufacturer: Swinburn & Son Model: Double Barreled Scinde Smooth Bore Carbine Barrel Length: 21” FFL Status: Antique Gauge: 12 Bore / .72 Caliber Browned Damascus patterned double barreled percussion smoothbore carbine with back action locks and double triggers. Iron mounted hardwood half-stock with skeletonized pistol-gripped trigger guard and buttplate stamped “SCINDE/IRREGULAR/HORSE” in three lines. Back action locks marked “SWINBURN & SON/1853”. Captive swivel ramrod with large palm disc. Barrels secured by a hooked breech and a single screw through the forend. Breech numbered “57” with stock numbered “10/57” on the obverse near the comb line. Markings suggest gun #57 of the 10 troop (company) of Scinde Cavalry. The Scinde Irregular Horse was established in 1838 and was originally raised in Hyderabad which is located in the Sindh province of modern day Pakistan as part of the East India Company Army. Eventually three regiments of these native horse soldiers were raised during the late 1830s and early 1840s. The regiments were commanded by General John Jacob from their inception through 1856. Jacob’s is best known today as the inventor of the famous Jacob’s Rifle which saw use with some of his Indian forces. These smoothbore double barreled carbines can be viewed as the direct predecessor of the Jacob’s Rifle. The regiments were later combined and redesignated as the 35th Scinde Horse and the 36th Jacob’s Horse after the Indian Mutiny of 1857, when loyal Indian regiments were amalgamated with British regular army forces on the subcontinent. In 1922, the 2 regiments were combined to form the 14th Prince of Wales’ Own Scinde Horse and the regiment served with distinction during World War II. The regiment was disbanded with India’s freedom from British colonial rule in 1947. CONDITION: Good. Retains some faded brown and Damascus patterning on the barrels with scattered surface oxidation and some minor surface roughness. Mechanically functional percussion locks, markings on locks weak, stronger on barrel and wood. Bores moderately oxidized with some discoloration and pitting. Captive ramrod functional. Sling bar typically encountered on this pattern is not present. Wood with moderate wear and scattered bumps, dings, and mars. Wood with added finish and stain and showing less than perfect wood to metal fit along with some chipping around the lock mortises. The stock may be a period of use local replacement, as the overall fit and finish and is not commensurate with the standards of Swinburn & Son. An old thin coat of Cosmoline covers much of the gun.

2528 - CUSTOM BOHLIN OF HOLLYWOOD SILVER MOUNTED SADDLE MADE FOR WESTERN ACTOR “MICKEY EISSA.” Fantastic sterling silver mounted Edward H. Bohlin custom parade saddle, bridle, and breast collar made for western film actor and personality, Mickey Eissa. Eissa was born in 1896 and later served in the US Army cavalry during WW1. He was discharged honorably as a Corporal. He then found his way to California and the booming Western movie industry. He was a contemporary and friend of the likes of Tom Mix, and and was close friends with noted western actor and personality Leo Carillo, aka “Pancho”. Eissa had this saddle made in Hollywood in 1936 and rode it in the world famous Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena as well as other Southern California parades and the Santa Barbara Fiesta Days. He is pictured in a March 1939 issue of Life magazine astride this very saddle in a San Francisco parade. He also owned the Silver Saddle liquor store (no doubt named after his love of this saddle) in Redondo Beach, California, and prominently displayed it in the window. He was known for his love of the Old West, and his role in the Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd) movie Riders of the Timberline (1941) and Outlaws of the Desert (1941). He died on August 14, 1962 in Hermosa Beach, California, USA. In trademark Bohlin fashion, the saddle is built on a Miles City tree with ornately engraved heavy gauge silver swells, horn, and scalloped silver cantle. The skirts and tapaderos are adorned with alternating engraved round and diamond conchos artistically separated by stacked pairs of Bohlin’s trademark silver spots. The fenders are 9” wide and 36” long with 20” tapaderos. Saddle has 15” swells, a 4” cantle and a 15” seat. The horn is 3” tall with a 2.75” solid silver horn cap with a horse head in relief. Heavy gauge engraved sterling plates on the tips of the taps also feature raised relief horse heads in fine detail. The saddle includes a matching Bohlin bridle and breast collar with maker-marked silver overlaid Bohlin made port bit with the original sterling ferruled reins. Eissa’s name is on both the saddle and the rear cantle plate. All of the ornamentation on the saddle and accessories are sterling silver and are all hand cut and hand engraved. Consignor claims there is 200 ounces of silver on this saddle made up of over 500 individual pieces. Saddle and accessories remain in fine to excellent condition for their age and the saddle shows exceptional attention to detail. A rare opportunity to own a pre-war Bohlin with deep California ties.

3120 - (C) DWM 1917 DATED “DEATH’S HEAD” P.08 SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL. Manufacturer: DWM Model: P.08 Serial No. 479 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Para Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic P.08 manufactured by DWM in 1917. Receiver is marked with a Death’s Head stamp above “1917” over the chamber, with DWM proofs and German Imperial Reichsadler on the right. German Imperial Reichsadler is also present on the barrel and left side of breechblock. Matching numbers include the frame, locking bolt, trigger, safety lever, hold-open latch, receiver, barrel, trigger bar, toggles, breechblock, extractor, firing pin, and checkered walnut grips. It is likely that these numbers were force matched at the time of arsenal refurbishment. There are several theories as to the meaning and origin of the Death’s Head (Totenkopf) marking. The most widely received and accepted theory is that due to the shortage of armament supplied to the SS during World War II, it was common practice for the SS to acquire appropriate weaponry and parts from old stock, and mark them for their own service. This cataloger has noted many inconsistencies between all of the different “Death’s Head” marked P.08s that they have observed, especially when relating to the stamp itself, and advises one to use their own intuition when observing one. CONDITION: Metal components retain pleasant amounts of their arsenal applied rust blue finish, exhibiting wear and scattered handling marks all around. Bore is bright, exhibiting signs of some light oxidation, but retains good rifling throughout. Checkered walnut grips exhibit some smoothing to the checkering and some minor handling marks, as well as a small chip behind the safety lever. MLW 1,500 - 2,000 436

3179 - (C) VICKERS 1906 DUTCH LUGER SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL. Manufacturer: Vickers Model: 1906 Dutch Luger Serial No. 8663 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This is a very interesting gun. The parts were made in Germany then sent to England where they were finished by Vickers LTD. for the Dutch army. Then it went to the Dutch East Indies. Captured by the Japanese in February of 1942. That might explain the Chrysanthemum and the Japanese characters that are on this gun. It has British proof marks on the barrel, but the barrel is not original to this gun. Captured in Vietnam and then sent back to the United States in 1971. It is listed on the capture papers by serial number. It is a mismatched gun and not safe to fire. The brass plate has a partial unit mark of “a-Res. A??”. The side plate has been repaired and is laminated together. A gun that has a very interesting past. CONDITION; Like most of these guns that came out of the East Indies this gun is in poor condition. It would be a representative piece only with a great history. REW 1,000 - 1,500

Originally only stamped with “ac” on the slide, the decision to include the year of manufacture was made after the initial P.38 production had started at the Walther factory.

3458 - LOT OF 2: SEALED TEN COUNT PACKS OF REISING MODEL 65 MAGAZINES. With the USMC’s adoption of the M1 Garand in 1942, the decision was made to acquire a new .22 caliber training rifle to familiarize soldiers with the M1. Eugene Reising utilized the design of his preexisting Reising Model 50 submachine gun, and created the M65, which was accepted by the U.S. military, who purchased an estimated 6,000-10,000 rifles for training purposes by 1945. This lot consists of two 10-count packs of Harrington & Richardson Reising Model 65 magazines. Magazines are contained within two thick paperwork sleeves, which are marked “10 MAGAZINE, assembly/ B-SA22-61” Line Item #3148/ P.S. Reising, M65”. Packs retain handwritten initials on the top right corner, potentially signifying acknowledgment of receipt. Envelopes are sealed. CONDITION: Very good, with one pack showing a tear and small puncture mark under the flap, and the other showing some areas of the adhesive used to seal the packs, likely from storage. The packs have not been opened to confirm the condition of the magazines. Acquiring one Reising Model 65 magazine has been proven to be difficult, let alone finding two sealed packs of them. This is a unique and seldom seen item, that would make for a favorable addition to any .22 military trainer collector’s ensemble. -MLW500 - 1,000 3459 - LOT OF 2: SEALED 10 COUNT PACKS OF REISING MODEL 65 MAGAZINES.

After the conclusion of World War II, the United States’ weapon aid program supplied Norway with many Browning 1919A4 and 1918A2 machine guns. After Norway’s adoption of the MG3 in the late 1950s the decision was made to have a new cradle and mount designed which utilized the existing stocks of 1919A4 M2 tripods for the MG3. These cradles were manufactured by DISA (Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S), and feature a unique hybrid design of both the German MG-42’s buffered cradle and the 1919A4’s mounting system. The mount is fitted with a 1919A4 pintle mount in the front, with a standard T&E mechanism in the rear. The rear of the mount is marked “MADSEN / DISA / (Danish crest) / 1364”. Cradle is complete with a 1919A4 M2 tripod. CONDITION: Metal components on tripod retain the majority of their parkerized finish exhibiting some scattered areas of wear from storage and handling. Tripod retains large amounts of its blue finish, exhibiting scattered areas of wear and areas of thinning. Tripod pintle latch is broken, but present. A very nice example of a unique MG3 mount! -MLW- 500 - 1,000

Serial No. 4738 This Maxim 08/15 parts set includes hard to find original parts such as the lock extractor guide panels which rivet to the inside of the receiver plates, steam port cover and drum hanger.

4008 - SCARCE HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON REISING MODEL 55 FOLDING STOCK. Advertised for use as a police and military weapon, the Model 55 was a folding stock variant of the Model 50. While the Model 55 did not garner much in police sales, it was originally intended to be issued to U.S. Marine Paratroopers and Armored vehicle crews. The main differences from the Model 50 to the Model 55 was the elimination of the compensator, a wood pistol grip stock, and a wire folding stock. Out of the 120,000 Reising submachine guns manufactured by Harrington & Richardson, roughly 33,500 of them were of the M55 variation and were procured by the U.S. Marine Corps. The folding stock was not favored by marine personnel, who claimed that the wire folding stock would inadvertently fold while firing, and that fullstock Model 50 was far easier to fire more accurately. This example is in very nice condition, bearing no proof or inspectors stamps, with its metal components being finished in blue. This fine example is complete with its original Reising (Not M1 Carbine) sling. CONDITION: Metal components retain the vast majority of their original blue finish, exhibiting some wear and light surface oxidation. Stock screws are slightly marred. Stock shows some small handling marks, with two small indentations on the left hand side. Wire stock locks up tightly. This is a very nice example of a Harrington & Richardson Model 55 stock, that would be a nice addition to one’s collection. -MLW- 1,500 - 2,000 556

All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to shooting. • MORPHY’S reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer. 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 buyers 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 buyers 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 buyer’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 buyers 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 buyer’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 buyer 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.

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. 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. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. (continued...)

Terms & Conditions • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www. morphyauctions.com. 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. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee and online bids placed through www.morphyauctions.com will be auto charged to the credit card entered 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Bidsquare, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge may be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. If a credit card has been provided to one of the online bidding platforms, MORPHY’S reserves the right to use and charge the credit card if the winning bidder has not paid via another method by the 7 day term in Payment Terms below. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, packing and handling, shipping, insurance, and any other charges that apply. Please hold phone inquiries regarding bid success until after receiving your invoice. For verifications, MORPHY’S cannot provide winning bid information until the second business day after the auction. MORPHY’S will not provide bidder information to any outside sources. • TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 877-968-8880 to request a call from our representatives during the live auction.

BID INCREMENTS

Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 50% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$250 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion

RESERVES

The majority of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.

SALES TAX

MORPHY”S is required to collect sales tax where our company established nexus in the previous year. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales and use tax law in their locality and know what sales and use tax will be due upon their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with MORPHY’S including lots delivered to you, or your representative. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by MORPHY’S within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made.

We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 from a first time buyer if you provide a Bank Letter of Credit, available on our website, www.morphyauctions.com. • WIRE TRANSFERS – There will be a $30 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000. Please add this amount to your invoice total before sending a wire transfer. In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/ her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on all items that MORPHY’S agrees to ship to locations that can accept shipments will be made available as an added courtesy and at an additional cost. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. All applicable charges will be applied to the invoice. Shipping will be based on actual costs via FedEx, USPS, or other carriers required based upon the contents of the shipment. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the items on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Standard items packed internally by MORPHY’s will ship approximately seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received. Oversize and breakable items, which MORPHY’S will indicate on the invoice will ship based upon the buyer’s arrangement with a 3rd party shipper. MORPHY’s cannot

combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via FedEx or other carriers, FOB Denver, Pennsylvania or FOB other auction locations. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via FedEx, or any other carrier, in excess of the insurance provided by or purchased from MORPHY’S, is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from any and all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. • INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added, which you can decline by contacting us and providing a signed waiver of insurance form. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance provided or purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S welcomes our international customers. MOPRHY’S can provide upon request a complete process and set of recommended company contacts with whom the Buyer can work to understand the steps, timing, and cost to acquire items at auction.

As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to choose items and orders that it will pack, ship, and/or insure directly using our shipping department. Those items that MORPHY’S will not ship will require that the buyer either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service. Examples of items that may apply after determination by our shipping department include but are not limited to: items with neon of any type (working or non-working), all glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body (continued...)

Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances.
