Roger James Bender Collection April 23, 1940 – January 10, 2020

Roger Bender created a career from his hobby… collecting. Sometimes known around the collecting and show community as “The Father of Militaria”. Born in Mandan, North Dakota in 1940 he developed a love for all things Western. As a farm kid in North Dakota, he would dig up spent shells and arrowheads at Fort Lincoln. As he grew older, his collection grew to include antique weapons. Roger’s collecting passion grew with his interactions with returning GI’s who shared their war stories. With his appreciation of the returning GI’s and their stories, he expanded his hobby by diligently investigating and eventually publishing his findings. His first publication in 1967, Air Organizations of the Third Reich, was the start of a 50 year career in publishing military history. In addition, he developed a quarterly magazine in 1989 titled the Military Advisor. He worked with numerous authors across the world continuing his support of collectors and military historians. What started as a hobby became a full-time business, R. James Bender Publishing Co. Working on new books was something he enjoyed each and every day. Roger had a Master’s Degree in Military History from San Jose State University, a student of renowned History Professor Charles Burdick. In addition, Roger served in the Army National Guard and continued to provide his services and support to veterans throughout his life. Roger was down to earth and approachable and impacted many people in the hobby, both personally and professionally. He was gracious with his time and energy. He enjoyed his regular phone calls with collectors and friends, and his expertise was greatly appreciated. His books were well researched, artistically and professionally produced with top quality bindings and materials, and appreciated by collectors and researchers alike. His published materials are his legacy, and continue to serve as excellent and exhaustively detailed resources for historians and collectors. Morphy Auctions is proud to offer a portion of his arms and militaria collection that he was so proud of.

1010 - A PARTISAN WITH DECORATIONS OF THE GUARD OF FRIEDRICH AUGUST I, ELECTOR OF SAXONY, ETCHED WITH HIS CREST AND FLORAL DESIGNS. Blade Length: 15” Overall Length: 91 - 1/4” Friedrich August only used the CFA cypher for a scant 3 years, 1694-1697. Blade measures 15” with a flattened diamond section blade and a raised medial ridge.

Faceted socket with 10 sides. Straps retained by 5 nails on each side, octagonal shaft with black lacquer, a later replacement. Friedrich August I is best remembered as becoming the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, and his epithet “the Strong”, which he apparently liked to demonstrate by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands. He was awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece after he converted to Roman Catholicism and established the Order of the White Eagle, the highest order Poland awards to civilians and military, still in use today. He ruled until his death in 1733 (with a brief interruption in 1706-1709 when Sweden installed Stanislaus I with August returning only after Battle of Poltava, which resulted in the death of one of Stanislaus’s main supporters, Charles XII), at which point controversy over his successor led to the War of the Polish Succession (which, amusingly enough, included Stanislaus on the side of Sejm). PROVENANCE: William E. Simon Collection, sold at Little John’s Auction Service January 9th, 2005, Lot 147. CONDITION: Metal has some evidence of delamination and cleaning in the European style, with some scattered darkness. Wooden shaft is later, and has been covered in a black lacquer which is also present on the straps. Acid etching is good with easily seen cyphers. EMW 6,000 - 10,000

CONDITION: Overall good, with some evidence of cleaning in the European style with scattered darkness. Excellent delamination visible on reverse of blade. Quillion is a little loose, may be a result of wire grip being loose, with visible gaps. Capstan is tight. An unusual example. EMW 2,000 - 4,000

Between the main bands of decoration are a pair of vignettes, left depicting a warrior with sword and shield standing at attention, while right side depicts the same warrior with his sword drawn, with an amphora and stylized vase. Interior with fantastic roughage from the hammer and some delamination from age. Accompanied by a 2011 dated letter from Dr. Riccardo Franci from the Stibbert museum in Florence, Italy, indicating that this armor is typical of northern Italian production in the second half of the 16th century, with the Medici guards wearing this style into the 17th century, with some examples from their inventories that match the overall pattern well. CONDITION: Very good, gently cleaned in the European fashion with some spotted inactive oxidation throughout. Etching is very good overall with some areas obfuscated either through over-polishing or oxidation. Reverse is excellent with a smooth chocolate patina and with wonderful texture from the hammer.

Buttons have single spike, probably for fastening a belt to users feet. CONDITION: Overall good, with some cracks at piercings where metal was weakened.

1016 - WROUGHT IRON NUREMBERG STRONGBOX ETCHED WITH FLORALS AND MYTHICAL AVIANS. Circa 1600.

Elaborate locking mechanism utilizes a double bolt system which can only be retracted through use of the key which actuates a lever. Complete with key. CONDITION: Very good, with crisp etching visible throughout, and some separation at corners from age. Delamination from hand forging is visible through. Metal has acquired a lovely dove-grey-mixed-with-brown patina. 4 feet appear original, but one is loose. These boxes are absolutely fascinating examples of period engineering. EMW 2,000 - 4,000

1017 - AN ATTRACTIVE PAINTED IRON NURNBERG LOCKBOX DEPICTING DAVID AND BATHSHEBA. Circa 1600. This elaborate example is painted with the front face showing a medieval reimaging of the story of David and Bathsheba, with a crowned king holding a lute looking out a parapet and gazing upon a woman who is being bathed by her servants. Other motifs include florals and geometrics on the sides with underside bare. Elaborate locking mechanism utilizes a triple bolt system which can only be retracted through use of the key which actuates a lever. Interior compartment is lined with old velvet, with adhesive coming off and releasing velvet in several areas with one patch completely detached. Complete with key. CONDITION: Very good, painting has been overpainted with visible texturing underneath, but old and probably period. Delamination from hand forging is visible. Metal has acquired a lovely brown patina where not painted. These boxes are absolutely fascinating examples of period engineering and this is a fantastic example. EMW 2,000 - 4,000

1018 - WROUGHT IRON NUREMBERG LOCKBOX WITH ACID ETCHINGS OF GEOMETRICS. Circa 17th century. This elaborate wrought iron example is acid etched with geometrics on a starred ground, accented for florals on raised edges. Elaborate locking mechanism utilizes a double bolt system which can only be retracted through use of the key which actuates a lever. Sliding sheet iron keyhole cover for when key is not in use. Complete with key. CONDITION: Very good, with crisp etching visible throughout, and some separation at corners from age. Delamination from hand forging is visible throughout. Key is broken at one bow. Metal has acquired a lovely dove-grey-mixed-with-brown patina. 3 of 4 feet appear original, the original feet are somewhat loose. Given the biting of the key, it is probably not original to this box but does operate the mechanism appropriately. These boxes are absolutely fascinating examples of period engineering. EMW 2,000 - 4,000

www.MorphyAuctions.com | July 12, 2022

1019 - A BRASS LOCKBOX WITH FLORAL AND MYTHICAL DECORATIONS IN THE NUREMBERG STYLE. This box is very reminiscent of the styles of boxes produced in Nuremberg circa 1600. Brass construction with floral scroll throughout, with vignettes of mythical gryphon on lid, lit braziers on sides, and additional florals on faces. Lock mechanism utilizes a pair of coiled flat springs to keep tongues locked under the lip of the lid, which are detracted by use of a key. Key is included but broken at stem. CONDITION: Brass has been cleaned and designs have been softened throughout. Iron areas have oxidation throughout, but coil springs still seem pliable. 2,000 - 4,000

1049 - EARLY GEORGE WASHINGTON PORTRAIT ON PAPER. Rare, early mezzotint copy of the Landsdowne portrait of Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart, as published by Atkins and Nightingale July 1, 1801 in Philadelphia and London. Captioned at bottom, “General Washington / from the original picture in Philadelphia” with the publisher’s line in small print above, the London address added in the plate. Printed in color with colors finished by hand. Commissioned by Lord Landsdowne, former British Prime Minister. Stuart worked from a single sitting granted by Washington in Fall 1795 and completed it in Germantown in 1796 and made several copies. The portrait purports to show Washington addressing Congress in 1795: his hand outstretched in rhetorical gesture. This version omits the rainbow usually seen in the background, but clouds do give way to blue sky. Books titled Laws and Constitution sit by a table leg shaped like the fasces of the Roman Republic and the ceremonial mace of the House of Representatives that uses the same bound rods, but topped by an eagle, as on the table leg. Washington is dressed not in a uniform, but the plain black of a citizen and wears a civilian dress sword, showing him as both father and servant of the Republic. Landsdowne respected Washington and had secured a peaceful end to the war. It did not hurt that the terms of the Jay Treaty, settling claims between the 2 countries at about the time the portrait was commissioned, were regarded rather more favorably in Britain than here. CONDITION: Excellent. Bright colors, completely intact, no folds or losses, only very minor thin foxing or soiling to margins. 30,000 - 40,000

Grip shows wear along the midpoint and curving tip, changing its color from brown to gray, with details of the Washington portrait rubbed but visible, the eagle sharper, and details of the snake head visible. It has been suggested the figure might be an eagle’s head, but the rounded nose and contours clearly suggest the rattlesnake, an equally American patriotic motif. 8,000 - 10,000

1052 - TERRA COTTA BUST OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AFTER HOUDON. Painted terra cotta bust of Benjamin Franklin signed and dated on right shoulder “Houdon P+ 1778”. Franklin’s presence in Paris from 1776 to 1785 made him first in Houdon’s series of portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution, which included John Paul Jones, Lafayette, and Washington himself. Whether Franklin formally sat for the portrait is debated, but Houdon had ample opportunity to observe Franklin in person and his portrait, has been noted as accurate both in its portrayal of the man and his simple form of dress that fascinated refined French society. Franklin, of course, played up notions of Republican simplicity and American naturalness in his campaign to win French support for the cause, even adding a fur cap to his customary wear. CONDITION: Good. A repaired split runs across the shoulders, appearing to be stable. Colored a muted bronze with spots of touch up. Slight chips and flakes to raised areas, such as nostrils and eyebrows. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. 10,000 - 30,000

Its significance was clear even in the early years of the Republic, with the original engrossed document prominently displayed to the point of deterioration. In 1820, John Quincy Adams commissioned a facsimile by William J. Stone, who created his plate directly off of the original by wetting the document and creating a transfer with the Declaration’s original ink. The copy included in this lot was printed circa 1833 or 1848 by Stone off of his original plate under the direction of archivist Peter Force intending it to be included in his “American Archives” series authorized by Congress in 1833. “W. J. STONE SC WASH’N” print mark present in lower left. Although 1500 copies were to be printed, high costs and limited sales caused the print run to be left incomplete. It is believed only an approximated 500 copies of the Declaration were actually printed, with a relatively low survival rate today. View: 24 - 3/4” x 30 - 1/2”. Overall: 41 - 1/2” x 48”. CONDITION: Very good. A fine, clean imprint. Print is evenly toned with a few minor spots. Print has not been examined out of its arts and crafts style mahogany frame. This historically significant facsimile of one of America’s most treasured documents would make a fine addition to any collection! BAS 15,000 - 25,000

Blade Length: 32 - 1/2” Overall Length: 38” A very attractive example of a US non-regulation officer’s sword. These swords were imported in some quantity and were preferred by many officers as a field sword due to its sturdy steel scabbard. Modeled on the British Pattern 1827 sword for rifle officers, the hilts and scabbard mounts were constructed of metals like iron or, in this case, brass. Import swords of this style are usually German made, and this one is clearly marked “W. Clauberg / Solingen” around the firm’s trademark standing knight on the reverse ricasso. The blade is slightly curved, with single edge and spear point. Both sides are etched. The obverse features a patriotic spread winged eagle, perched on a banner that reads “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, flanked by floral scrolls, followed by more scrolls and vines contained in a stylized geometric spire just above the ricasso. The reverse features floral scrolls which flank a large script “U.S.” followed by more scrolls and vines that mirror the obverse designs just above the ricasso. As is common in the pattern, the “gothic” hilt with scrolls and arches replaces the cut-out British hunting horn with an American spread winged eagle, clutching arrows and an olive branch, over an openwork “U.S.”, and with a banner held in its beak. The engraved details include the U.S. motto, detailed eagle feathers, and a menacing expression on the eagle’s face. The center swelled wood grip is wrapped in high quality sharkskin with triple wire binding. The pommel has grooved top, channeled base, and a smooth backstrap terminating at a ferrule just under the guard. The sword is complete with its steel scabbard that features brass mounts. The mounts are unadorned. CONDITION: The blade remains bright with crisp etchings which flash when the sword is unsheathed. Light areas of spotting are noticed, but do not detract from the quality of the blade. The brass hilt exhibits a pleasing mellow patina with scattered dark spots. Some of the brass wires are loose but the sharkskin remains firmly secured to the grip. The scabbard exhibits a dark gray and chocolate patina, especially towards the drag. The mounts exhibit a matching patina to the hilt. Pitting evident on the scabbard body. Overall good. A fine example of a popular U.S. officer’s sword. JLD 800 - 1,200

1141 - US CIVIL WAR AMES MODEL 1860 CAVALRY SABER WITH C TROOP, 3RD CAVALRY MARKINGS. Blade Length: 34 - 1/2” Overall Length: 41”

Very nice example of an Ames Model 1860 Cavalry Saber with cavalry markings. The sword is in the standard M1860 configuration, with a slightly curved blade, single fuller, and ricasso with typical Ames markings. The obverse ricasso is marked “US / J.C.W. / 1865” and the reverse is marked “Made by / Ames Mfg. Co / Chicopee / Mass” enclosed within an unraveled scroll. The guard, knucklebow, and pommel are all of brass with a center swelled, leather wrapped wood grip with double twisted brass wire resting nicely in the grooves of the grip. Like most M1860 cavalry sabers, the blade is relatively plain, however this example is marked “C 3-C 2C” denoting C Troop of the 3rd Cavalry. There is a small paper attached to the hilt which provides a brief combat chronicle of C Troop, 3rd Cavalry with dates that range from 1868-1900, also listing various engagements the regiment was present at. The chronicle was put together by the Hitman Historical Register. The 3rd Cavalry has accumulated a significant combat chronicle and the small paper only lists a small portion of engagements. These include various posts across the western frontier during the Indian Wars, to San Juan Hill on July 1-3, and various locations in the Philippines during the year 1900. The sword is complete with its steel scabbard. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a bright gray patina with scattered areas of pitting, spotting, and edge wear. The cavalry markings are somewhat faint but remain legible. Often with these swords, the scroll mark is usually very weak and partially worn down by the scabbard, and this example is no exception. The hilt exhibits a pleasing dark patina with scattered age spots. Grip exhibits cracks and areas of leather loss, especially towards the pommel. Hilt produces a slight wobble when handled. The scabbard exhibits a chocolate patina with areas of pitting. Overall good. While most M1860 sabers are plain, this is a nice example with attributions to a battle hardened cavalry regiment.

Despite being outdated by the time of the Civil War, these swords were still made in small supplies right before and during the war. These swords are an especially scarce model considering the regulations of 1851 called for artillery officers to carry the M1850 Staff and Field Officer’s Sword. The saber features a curved blade with deep single fuller. The blade is decorated with sharp etchings of patriotic and floral motifs. The etched decorations include floral scrolls and panoplies of arms ending with geometric designs just above the ricasso. The blade features great maker markings, as the blade is etched WH / HORSTMANN / & SONS / PHILADELPHIA” just above the ricasso on the obverse side, as well as “HORSTMANN / & SONS” on the reverse ricasso and “PHILADELPHIA” on the obverse ricasso.

1143 - US CIVIL WAR TIFFANY & CO. MODEL 1860 CUTLASS STYLE PRESENTATION SWORD INSCRIBED TO LIEUTENANT COLONEL HORACE A. MANCHESTER, 1ST MARINE ARTILLERY. Blade Length: 31” Overall Length: 37” Exceptional Civil War nonregulation presentation sword, styled in the pattern of the Model 1860 Cutlass, and named to a US Marine Corps artillery officer. Horace Almy Manchester was born in Providence, Rhode Island during the year 1812. By the time of the Civil War, the middle-aged Manchester was a successful Democrat who was already well established with a prominent legal career. Nevertheless, he decided to serve when the 1st Marine Artillery was being organized. Manchester mustered in on December 1, 1861, a month after his friend Colonel William Howard was authorized to recruit the organization. Colonel Howard is recorded in “The Union army: a history of military affairs in the loyal states, 1861-65 -- records of the regiments in the Union army -- cyclopedia of battles -- memoirs of commanders and soldiers, Volume II: New York, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio” to have organized the regiment, with Lieutenant Colonel Horace A. Manchester and Major Charles E. Mears listed as his subordinates. The regiment was organized in New York City with the purpose of service on gunboats. The personnel signed on for 3 years and would be tasked with harassing Confederate lines via gunboats which were provided for them. The regiment served at Annapolis, Maryland and was attached to the 18th and 10th Corps beginning in August 1862. The regiment participated in the engagements of Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City, New Berne, Elizabeth, the Siege of Fort Macon, South Mills, Tranter’s Creek, Swift Creek, Neuse River, Washington, near Shiloh, Rawle’s Mills, an expedition to Goldsboro, Kinston and Folly Island, and several other minor affairs. The unit, as well as Manchester, is well covered in the publication “The Union Army: A History of Military Affairs in the Loyal States, 1861-65...” where Manchester reported on the conducting of naval operations in North Carolina during mid-December 1862. Commander Alexander Murray, wrote of the actions led by Manchester during the Expedition Against Goldsborough, North Carolina, and stated that “This flotilla left Newburn on the evening of the 12th instant - the Alisson, Port Royal, Ocean Wave, and Wilson, in the advance under Colonel Manchester- with orders to reconnoiter, and in the case of attack or the discovery of batteries to fall back on the heavier vessels. This movement was partially strategic, and was very successful. The attack on the batteries, and the falling back of the lighter boats, the shelling of the woods, and the feint to land a force on the north bank, had the desired effect...” Manchester also wrote a detailed report regarding the action and indicated that he and his men had fired upon the Confederate batteries with their Parrott gun, “the first fire being within cannister range. Three shells were exploded within the batteries with apparent effect, as the enemy ceased their fire for some after.” He later remarked about subsequent engagements “Of the enemy one was shot from the bridge and fell into the river, and two men were blown to pieces on the bank. At the log-house, 30 men are said to have been in it, when two 30-pounder Parrott’s, loaded with canister, were fired through it, at a distance of two hundred feet, and at the Oldfield Bank Landing, the fire of the Ocean Wave, North State, and Port Royal was direct, and within four hundred feet of the enemy.” Manchester and his men performed exceptionally well in their engagements and their actions in North Carolina were no exception. Their boats received damage, though not severe. For a daring engagement, they only they lost 1 man killed, 3 severely wounded, with at least 1 dying of his wounds, and several with minor wounds. It was recorded that Manchester lacked the qualifications to command his men, and the brazen Marine officer wrote to General Edward Canby in an effort to defend himself against these claims. Judging by the accounts of the operations in early 1863, the records surely advocate that Manchester was a capable officer. It is possible that the issues stemmed from earlier in his career, as he apparently had domestic issues as well, as he publicly forbade anyone from doing business on his behalf, especially his wife. In a letter dated January 24, 1863 Manchester was dismissed from service “Lieut Col H.A. Manchester, Marine Artillery, New York Vols. Is hereby dismissed the service for inefficiency, want of capacity, and conduct prejudicial to the public interests.” Given his political affiliations and outspokenness, it would not be surprising if politics were part of the reason for his dismissal. The 1st Marine Artillery was later disbanded in March, 1863. During its service, the regiment lost a total of 90 men, 1 officer and 14 men killed in action, 2 men mortally wounded, 1 officer and 72 men died of disease and other causes. After his service, Manchester later moved to Stockton, California where he passed away in 1877. Despite his dismissal, Manchester was still a successful officer who lead his men through a variety of dangerous engagements against the enemy. His presentation cutlass is impressive and an officer of his caliber would merit such a sword. The presentation is located on the upper mount “Presented to / Lt. Colonel / H.A. Manchester / by his Friends attached / to the U.S. Marine Artillery.” This sword is quite attractive and features a 31” lightly curved blade which features a single fuller which transitions into narrow double fullers at about half its length. The blade features beautiful, detailed etchings just before the double fuller on both sides of the blade. The obverse decorations feature a bold federal eagle, perched on clouds with its wings spread in front of sun rays, contained in a classical vignette and flanked by intricate scrollwork. The reverse features a similar design, with the eagle replaced by a panoply of arms. The sword is marked “Tiffany & Co. / New York” on the obverse ricasso and “P.D.L” on the reverse ricasso. The hilt is gilded and features a vast knucklebow, grooved wood shagreen wrapped grip with double twisted brass wire that fits neatly into the grooves, and a domed pommel cap. The border of the knuclebow is adorned with screws, a simple touch which makes this sword stand out. The sword is complimented by its iron scabbard which features brass mounts and two carry rings. CONDITION: The blade is bright with exceptional, unmolested etchings. Edge wear is exhibited, with a significant strike towards the tip. There are areas of verdigris and discoloration towards the tip which can be cleaned. The hilt exhibits a pleasing aged patina with the darkened brass that is complimented by the mottled gray-brown color of the knucklebow. Double twisted brass wire remains tightly in the grooves of the grip. The scabbard features the same mottled gray-brown chocolate patina. The mounts exhibit a pleasing color and remain firmly secured to the scabbard. The inscription is unmolested and remains crisp and legible. Overall very good. This is a handsome example of a Civil War Marine Corps Officer presentation sword with an interesting history. The sword is accompanied by several pieces of research.

1144 - CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CS STAR ARTILLERY SHORT SWORD. Blade Length: 18 - 7/8” Overall Length: 24 - 1/4” Although specifics are unknown, it is believed that these CS Star Artillery Short Swords were fabricated by a number of Southern manufacturers. Some of these manufacturers include the Confederate States Armory of Wilmington, North Carolina, W.J. McElroy of Macon, Georgia, and E. J. Johnston & Co. who also resided in Macon, Georgia. It is believed that E.J. Johnston & Co. manufactured around 150 of these swords for use by the Choctaw Artillery. Several variations of these swords were manufactured throughout the war and this interesting example features Confederate markings which make this sword stand out. Designed from the U.S. Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, this crude duplication features an unmarked, straight, double-edged blade with a single stopped fuller. The hilt is of cast brass and features a slightly curved crossguard with the letters “CS” cast on each side. The grip features cast ribs which lead up to a misshapen, domed pommel that exhibits a star impression on either side. The hilts of these short swords were hollow cast, thus resulting in significant flaws once removed from the mold. It is not uncommon to encounter casting flaws including holes in the brass which penetrate to the core on original examples. The brass hilt, pommel, and crossguard were cast as a single integral unit which was then affixed to the blade. This process differentiates from the Ames counterpart, as the hilt is not riveted like the Model 1832 Short Sword. As a result of the affixing process, the hilt produces a slight wobble when handled. The hilt’s dark reddish hue evidences a high copper content mixed in with the brass. CONDITION: The blade is heavily worn, exhibiting a dark chocolate patina with pitting throughout its length. Edge wear is exhibited to both sides of the blade. The crudely cast hilt features flaws typical of Confederate produced edged weapons. 1 3/8” hole is noticed towards the pommel. Dents and dings are obvious throughout the hilt. Attic. PROVENANCE: The sword is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which is signed by Army of Tennessee Relics which states that this sword is authentic in every regard. Despite its flaws, this is a fine example of an untouched Confederate Artillery Short Sword. JLD 2,000 - 4,000 1145 - CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE CS STAR ARTILLERY SHORT SWORD WITH LEATHER SCABBARD. Blade Length: 19” Overall Length: 24 - 1/2” Nice example of a Civil War Confederate CS Star Artillery Short Sword. It is believed that these CS Star Artillery Short Swords were fabricated by a number of Southern manufacturers including the Confederate States Armory of Wilmington, North Carolina, W.J. McElroy of Macon, Georgia, and E. J. Johnston & Co., who also resided in Macon, Georgia. It is believed that E.J. Johnston & Co. manufactured around 150 of these swords for use by the Choctaw Artillery. Produced in several variations, this example exhibits notable Confederate markings which make it stand out among other short swords of the period. These swords also stand out due to their crudeness compared to other short swords which were used during the era. Designed based off of the U.S. Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, this crude duplication features an unmarked, straight, double-edged blade with a single stopped fuller. The hilt is of cast brass and features a slightly curved crossguard with the letters “CS” roughly cast on each side. The grip features cast ribs which lead up to a domed pommel that exhibits a star impression on either side. The hilts of these short swords were hollow cast, thus resulting in significant flaws once removed from the mold. Many examples of these Confederate short swords are plagued with various casting flaws which include minor issues and in some cases major issues including holes in the brass which penetrate to the core of the hilt. Unlike the superior riveted hilt of the Ames Model 1832 Artillery Short Sword, the brass hilt, pommel, and crossguard on these Confederate swords were cast as one integral unit which was then affixed to the blade. As a result of the affixing process, the hilt produces a slight wobble when handled. The brass hilt does not exhibit evidence of high copper content, however there is a slight reddish hue around the crossguard. The sword is complete with its original black leather scabbard. The scabbard features a lower brass fitting with stud mount, however the drag was separated from the sword long ago. There is ghosting where the drag was once mounted to the scabbard. CONDITION: The blade exhibits a light gray patina with scattered large areas of spotting throughout its length. Edge wear is exhibited to both sides of the blade. The blade exhibits a slight bend and the tip is warped. The crudely cast hilt features flaws typical of Confederate produced edged weapons. One 1/4” hole is noticed on the crossguard. There are several dents and dings which are spread throughout the hilt. The scabbard exhibits cracks and creases as well as areas of loss throughout its construction. Seam remains tight. Brass mount exhibits a pleasing dark patina and produces a slight wobble, much like the hilt. Overall good. PROVENANCE: The sword is accompanied by a previous description which states this sword was sold by Rebel Relics. Although this sword is rather coarse compared M1832 Short Sword, this CS Star Artillery Short Sword is aesthetically pleasing and is an excellent example of a desirable Confederate blade.

Cloverleaf pikes like this unmarked example are known to have been manufactured in Georgia after the outbreak of the Civil War. Some of the notable manufacturers are Stevens, McElroy, and Griswold. During the Civil War, Georgia militia troops were armed with these pikes which could be used as lances or for cutting the bridles of enemy cavalry, although few saw combat. This example features the correct pike head that is composed of three double edged blades. The center blade is in the shape of a peach leaf, and measures approximately 10” long. Flanking the center blade on either side are two blades that measure 3” from tip to center. The pike head is secured in place by a metal ferrule with two wrought iron languets that are held in place by three rivets on each side. The languets appear to have a japanned finish, and the upper portion of the shaft was painted black. These pikes were manufactured with a 6 foot shaft, however this example was shortened at some point and the shaft measures 19” from the top of the ferrule to the bottom. CONDITION: The blade has grayed with age and in some light exhibits an attractive chocolate patina. The edges remain sharp and there is scattered pitting throughout. The shaft remains sturdy and exhibits typical wear. This pike was once part of the renowned John K. Lattimer collection. Overall good. JLD 1,000 - 2,000

1163 - CIVIL WAR US NAVY MODEL 1857 POWDER TANK. A vast improvement upon old fashioned wood powder kegs and barrels, these metallic containers, designated “powder tanks,” made their appearance on U.S. Navy ships by the 1840s. Designed to safely store bagged powder charges for heavy guns in the ship’s magazine, they were made of bronze and copper to avoid chance sparks that could be disastrous to a vessel or munitions depot, and could be tightly sealed to make them impervious to water or dampness. This one follows the pattern specified in 1857, and is clearly marked on the upper corner of the body with its filled weight, ”50 LB,” along with “USN” in large letters and naval ordnance inspection stamp “ORD 1857 / H.A.W. / (anchor)” which is the mark of Henry A. Wise, U.S. Navy 1834-1869. Wise was assigned to the Boston Navy Yard and in 1856 to the Washington Navy Yard, overseeing foundries producing navy ordnance and worked closely with John A. Dahlgren in improving U.S. naval weapons’ systems. CONDITION: Excellent. These are extremely scarce, most meeting their fate as scrap metal after improved patterns had taken their place. 500 - 700 1164 - US NAVY MODEL 1870 POWDER TANK. This US Navy powder tank bears the faint impression of “MODEL 1870” on one side, indicating it is an improvement upon the 1857 pattern, likely in the use of a screwtightened top and perhaps in the metal used, this one showing redder cast indicating a higher copper content. The principle, however, was the same. Bag charges of powder for the increasingly large bore naval guns had to be kept dry and away from any chance spark both while aboard ship and ashore. These metal containers made the charges both safe to store and easy to transfer between munitions depot and ship’s magazine. This is the same size as the 1857 designated example we offer, indicating its filled weight was 50 pounds, but differs in the sealing arrangement and in markings, having only parts numbers marked on the handle and body. The designation of Model 1870 nicely dates its to the expansion of U.S. naval power at the end of the 19th century. CONDITION: Very good. Model designation is faint, but legible. 500 - 700 1165 - LOT OF 3: CIVIL WAR AND INDIAN WARS LEATHER GEAR. Lot consists of 3 leather accouterments in excellent condition.

Visible, but faint, maker and inspector cartouches on belt, crisp on cap box. Cap box with remnants of fleece, no pick. Flaking to belt loops from flexing. Nice finish and tones. (C) Indian War Dyer cartridge pouch for the .45-70. CONDITION: Excellent. Smooth black finish with very legible Rock Island Arsenal stamp on upper reverse. US and inspector initials on belt loops. No fleece. A nice group of 1800s US leather gear in much better condition than commonly found.

1180 - 1864 TRAVELING PHOTO ALBUM WITH LINCOLN. Carte-de-visite photograph pocket size album, containing 14 images. Included is a Lincoln bust engraving on an embossed mount with high relief US eagle at top, and crossed US flags underneath, and five Civil War soldiers including signed bust view of Jacob Donica, 4th Illinois Cavalry, Co. G. Enl. 9/5/61 at Ottawa, Il, as private, promoted corporal, and mustered out 11/3/64 at Springfield, Illinois; E. Willoughby, Indiana backmark, possibly 2nd Indiana Cavalry, 1861-1865, POW 7/30/1864; seated officer, name indecipherable, Nashville backmark; and full standing officer in post-War copy photo identified at bottom as D.D. Summerville, whose name appears on the inside of the front cover as the album owner. CONDITION: Very good condition and tones to the images. Album cover with detached flap. Minor foxing and stains. 3,000 - 5,000 1181 - CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG STITCHED “JEFF DAVIS” This is a quite wonderful first national Confederate flag, typical of those made of found materials by young girls in a display of patriotism and incipient sewing skills. Completely handsewn, the flag features a square canton of blue, somewhat awkwardly placed low in the upper red stripe, and embroidered in white with a 5-pointed star at center surrounded by a circle of smaller stars, slightly more delicate in construction, ten of which survive. Instead of fringe, the flag is provided with a lace border that, if not repurposed from something else, was within the domestic skills imparted to young women of the time. The white center stripe has been enhanced by large, somewhat awkwardly cut-out letters spelling “JEFF DAVIS” with a large period at the end, and a smaller inverted exclamation point in the middle, and a large “A” placed on its own under “Davis.” The use of Confederate President’s name with an emphatic or defiant exclamation point is reminiscent of some early war Confederate images, often thought to have a Mississippi connection, displaying a “Jeff Davis and the South!” beside the soldier. In this case the “A” might have been intended for just such a motto on the flag, thwarted by the poor spatial judgment of unsupervised young sewers. The same explanation may lie behind the placement of the exclamation point, though its inversion might point to Spanish influence in the deep south. CONDITION: Very good. Losses to the edges, including the upper edge of the canton, as shown. Narrow stains to portions of the hoist perhaps indicating it was glued to a stick. Lettering applied to one side only. Framed in double glass. Not examined out of the frame. Interested parties should consult competent textile authorities. 2,000 - 3,000

1202 - (A) STAMPED COLT OF ACTING ASSISTANT SURGEON TITUS MUNSON COAN, USS SEBAGO, BATTLE OF MOBILE BAY. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1849 Pocket Serial No. 178411 Caliber/Bore: .31 Percussion Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Antique Colt 1849 Pocket Model 5 shot percussion revolver made by Colt in Hartford, Connecticut in 1861. Gun has name “Lieut. T. M. Coane” stamped on left grip. The addition of the “e” is likely an error due to a well intentioned presenter, perhaps a former patient. Titus Munson Coan was one of the few, if not only, Hawaiian born Civil War officers. Born at Hilo in 1836, the son of Christian missionaries, he was educated at the Royal and Punahow Schools of Honolulu before coming to the states in 1856 where he completed his B.A. at Williams in 1858, and M.A. in 1859. He then studied medicine in New York City with Dr. Elijah Harris, graduating Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1861, and becoming a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine. He spent 17 months as an intern in hospitals run by the NY Commissioners of Public Charities and Corrections at the Bellevue, Blackwell’s Island, Small Pox and Randall’s Island hospitals where he served as house surgeon or house physician and attended clinics run by doctors and medical professors in the various wards. Coan applied to the U.S. Board of Naval Surgeons in September 1863, passed their examination, and on October 27 was accepted as an Acting Assistant Surgeon, the post given by the U.S. Navy to a group of civilian doctors taken into the Navy to cope with its expanded wartime duties in enforcing the blockade, safeguarding commerce, and active combat operations, along internal waterways, the coast, and international waters. Navy rank equivalencies usually equated an Acting Assistant Surgeon as a Mate, but Coan’s experience may have gained him the extra grade: he is consistently referred to as a lieutenant in contemporary biographies, one explaining that he briefly held that rank and post in the army and transferred with it to the Navy. This might refer to earlier service as a contract surgeon, which does not leave traces in the usual military records. Coan served on the U.S.S. Sebago, a double-ended sidewheel gunboat built in 1861 at Portsmouth, likely joining it in New York, where it was undergoing repairs before sailing in early December for the Gulf of Mexico. There it served in Farragut’s West Gulf Blockading Squadron and in addition to blockading duties, in August 1864 took part in the Battle of Mobile Bay, by which Farragut closed off the last major Confederate Gulf port east of the Mississippi. The ship returned to New York and was decommissioned at the end of July 1865. Coan was discharged December 21, 1865. In later years Coan was active in MOLLUS, the organization for veteran U.S. officers of the Civil War, in particular acting as editor in the publication of memoirs. Coan had resumed the practice of medicine in New York in 1866, but by 1880 had become interested in writing and publishing. Some of his early work was medical: he published on hygiene and was interested in the effects of mineral waters and climate on health, but veered into ethnography and other subjects, natural from his Hawaiian upbringing, eventually opening his own editorial and publishing business in New York, where he died in 1921. This is a nice condition pistol with a great carved inscription and is typical of sidearms purchased for self-defense and carried by officers sailing in harm’s way no matter what their post or official duties. Pistol has 4” octagon barrel with 2 line Colt Hartford Address. Gun has all matching serial numbers including the wedge. 5 shot cylinder has 40% visible remaining stagecoach scene with visible matching number. Brass trigger guard with matching numbers and 1 piece walnut grips with Coan’s name on left. PROVENANCE: Comes with several letters to Dr. John K. Lattimer stating origin and background of Coan. CONDITION: Metal worn to a silvery patina with some old pitting. Brass has traces of nickel finish. Grips have traces of original varnish. Dark bore with crisp mechanics. DLM 1,200 - 1,500

Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1870 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 32” FFL Status: Antique M1870 .50-70 Springfield Trapdoor rifle that shows heavy Indian use. A scarce weapon in its own right, just under 10,000 of these were converted to centerfire using the M1863 muskets in government storage. Oral history from consignor’s grandmother was that rifle was picked up from the battlefields of the Lava Beds in Northern California during the 1872-1873 Modoc War. Rifle shows heavy dark patina overall consistent with field use in harsh climates. There is pommel or saddle wear to the forend underside and a missing cleaning rod typical of captured rifles. There are 7 brass tack holes with 1 very aged and heavy patinated tack remaining. The others have fallen out from wood shrinkage but the indentations and shank holes remain. Research indicates that there are other known Modoc recovered rifle of this exact make and model. According to the National Park Service, a few notes may be found concerning the small arms used by the combatants. The standard weapon for infantrymen at the time of the Modoc War was the .50 cal. Springfield musket, M1868 or M1870. There are several references to Springfields in the records and it is assumed that the infantry companies and most of the artillery batteries were armed with this weapon. Ammunition forwarded to the Lava Beds from the Vancouver Arsenal included 40,000 rounds, center-primed, metallic cartridges, caliber .50. The report also discusses the Modocs collecting weapons in the field after the 1st battle of the Stronghold—carbines and rifles of various makes. They probably collected even more after their attack on the Thomas patrol, April 26. It may be assumed they were as well armed as the troops, many of their weapons being army-issue. The Yreka Union reported in March 1873 that the Modocs had 13 breech-loading rifles, four of them “needle” or Springfield rifles (referring to the M1870). They were also said to have a number of muzzle-loading weapons. Overall, there is a very strong case that can be made that this is indeed a Modoc War battlefield pickup that saw Indian use. If only this one could talk. CONDITION: Heavy overall frontier patina with surface brown metal and dark bore. Strong 2 click hammer lockup with good trigger mechanics. Extractor present but sticky with age. BRM. 1,500 - 2,500

Doug Eberhart Collection Doug Eberhart’s love of guns began at a very early age, beginning with cap pistols then BB guns and eventually real guns. In high school, he bought every gun from fellow students that their fathers and grandfathers had given them. Doug bought his first Deringer at the age of 12 for $2.00, it is still in his collection today. By age 17 he had 37 guns when he entered the US Navy at the end of the Korean War. In the Navy, over the 4 years served, he obtained 20 more of various types of guns. While in the navy he obtained the rank of 2nd Class Petty Officer, as a metalsmith. After the Navy he returned home and joined the GA Arms Collectors as a founding member. Over the next 50 years he got serious about collecting Deringers. His collection was at that time recognized as one of the best Cartridge Deringer Collections. In January 1971 Doug was invited to join the American Society of Arms Collectors, where has been a member for over 50 years. Over this period of time, he became known as the authority on Deringers of all kinds, having written 4 books and over 50 magazine articles on the subject of Deringers.

1494 - CARVED MEERSCHAUM PIPE OF BIG CHIEF WHITE HORSE EAGLE WITH CASE. Circa 1870s - 1880s large and stunningly carved meerschaum horse head pipe made by famed 19th century Austrian Meerschaum artisan Jon. H. Menhard. Brass plate inscription reads: “BELONGED TO BIG CHIEF WHITE HORSE, PRESENTED TO C. LAZARO BY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ‘WA-THE-NA’.” Wa-The-Na “the Queen” was actually his wife and was a white woman. White Horse Eagle travelled America, Europe, and Asia, claiming to be an Osage and chief of 105 Indian tribes and bestowing chief’s honors on white celebrities wherever he came. He attracted tremendous attention during his Grand Tour of Germany in the spring and summer of 1929: he had made a sensational arrival in Berlin on April 18 in full chief’s array and a feather head-dress of several meters in length. He requested to shake President Hindenburg’s hand, as he allegedly had done with Bismarck during his first Grand Tour in 1887. He proceeded to visit the Berlin Anthropological Society and the grave of Karl May, Germany’s cult writer of Westerns. After hiring on a German Wild West circus similar to that of Buffalo Bill’s, he dictated an autobiography to the Nazi historian Edgar von Schmidt-Pauli. White Horse gave stirring laments over the dying Indian race. The Viennese artist Steffi Ventura painted his portrait. Later, when White Horse fell into disrepute, his alleged tribesmen complained that he spoke not a word of their native language, that he knew nothing of Indian culture and religion, and that the only God he held dear was alcohol. An interesting relic named to an albeit dubious persona of American history. CONDITION: Pipe is in excellent condition with no broken pieces or fractures the meerschaum body.

1497 - 19TH CENTURY PLAINS INDIAN LANCE. Plains Indian lance with forged iron blade ca. 1860-1880’s. Used mostly from horseback for hunting buffalo these lances were also used by dismounted warriors in hand-to-hand combat. The sole weapon missing from most Indian Wars collections is indeed the lance. This is primarily because they were hard to send home or carry for any period of time as a captured souvenir due to their prohibitive length. This example retains a 16” blacksmith forged iron cloverleaf style blade with a convex raised center (for a similar lance with wrapped tang and whittled shaft see See John Baldwin’s “Indian Guns, Spears and Shields of the American Frontier”, pg. 91). Blade tang is affixed into a notched hardwood shaft, then wrapped with a 4” sinew sewn rawhide wrap well shrunk to the form. Wrap is painted with alternating red and green stripes, with 1 - 1/2” of thin copper wire remaining that was used to reinforce a split in the wood. Next wrap down is a 10” blue buckskin fringed drop (most likely colored with laundry bluing or indigo dye), 3 thread sewn beaded strips on buckskin, a large powder blue padre bead, 3 22” weasel strips with a twisted buckskin wrist strap, and another green and red fringed buckskin wrap. Shaft is 5’ in length and retains 20% of of its green painted finish, and appears to have been have whittled or carved with a draw knife, spoke shave, or similar bladed instrument. May have been longer at some point in its life as these lances were often used for buffalo hunting with lengths of up to 9 feet recorded. Once these lances were retired from the field use, many remained in the hands of warriors and were were held as ceremonial items. Period images show lances used in dances and parades decades after they were made. Former Jimmy Hart, New Jersey collection. CONDITION: Solid and displayable with some of the drops being fragile and require care when handling. BRM. 10,000 - 12,000

MLW 1,000 - 1,600 2069 - (C) EXTREMELY SCARCE HIGH CONDITION CHINESE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY TYPE 59 MAKAROV SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH HOLSTER. Manufacturer: Qinghau Machine Tool Factory Model: Type 59 Serial No. 4055665 Caliber/Bore: 9x18mm Makarov Barrel Length: 3 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Extremely desirable Type 59 Makarov pistol manufactured at the Qinghau Machine Tool Factory (more commonly known as Mukden Arsenal while under Japanese occupation) in the Heilongjiang province in China. Due to China’s isolationist nature, especially when pertaining to production of military weaponry, little is definitively known about these Type 59 pistols. It is theorized that the Type 59’s production lifespan was extremely short, likely from 1959 to 1962 (Possibly even 1959-1960), due to the withdrawal of Russian technical advisors in 1960, as well as the economic and industrial crash which resulted from the Great Leap Forward. This example is stamped with the serial number followed by a factory arsenal code “66” within a triangle stamp, as well as a “59SHI” stamp on the left side of the frame, with the only other external markings being the serial number on the slide and safety lever. Metal components are blued and frame is mounted with a 1-piece brown checkered bakelite wrap around grip that exhibits the Ministry of Public Security emblem of a shield embellished with 5 stars on either side of the grip. 3 - 3/4” barrel exhibits a chrome lined bore. Matching numbers are stamped on the frame, slide, safety lever, and magazine. Trigger, trigger guard top flat, sear bar, trigger bar, as well as the sear bar are appropriately matching via the last 4 digits by an electro-penciled inscription. Pistol is accompanied by an original brown leather holster. Holster features a blue velvet lined interior and a green cord lanyard, and contains an additional non-matching magazine, as well as a cleaning rod. PROVENANCE: From the collection of esteemed NFA firearms enthusiast and collector J. R. Moody. CONDITION: Near mint, with metal components retaining virtually all of their original factory applied blue finish, exhibiting few very light marks from handling and storage. Interior components retain a thick layer of what appears to be original factory grease. Mint bore, exhibiting well defined rifling throughout. Grips are excellent, showing only a couple small marks from handling and storage. Holster shows some cracking on the strap flap, with some wear on the magazine cell, but is otherwise fine. According to “The Makarov Pistol: China, Bulgaria, and Khyber Pass Copies” by Henry C. Brown, Cameron S. White, and Edwin H. Lowe, it is projected that there are less than 50 examples of the Chinese Type 59 Makarov in the United States. These Type 59 Makarovs are seldom offered for sale and are a holy grail piece among Makarov collectors and enthusiasts. MLW 2,400 - 3,400

The 45 star flag became the official United States flag on July 4, 1896 and was in use for 12 years until July 4, 1908. An ink inscription on the hoist indicates that this flag was first flown in honor of President William McKinley the day he passed away. The inscription reads “First Used Sept 14th 1901 / Death of Pres Wm McKinley / Louis W Taylor”. The flag is constructed of wool bunting and measures approximately 70” x 46”. The hoist is faintly stamped “STANDARD 4x6”. There are 2 metal grommets on each end of the hoist. The canton rests on the seventh, red stripe, measures 29” x 25”, and is constructed of 2 horizontal panels of wool bunting. The upper panel measures 29” x 19” and the lower panel measures 29” x 6”. The upper panel contains 38 stars, arranged 8, 7, 8, 7, 8 and the lower panel contains a row of 7 stars. CONDITION: The flag exhibits various small holes and small areas of separation, which are especially evident on the upper and lower left corners.

JLD 800 - 1,200 2162 - US 1776-1876 CENTENNIAL FLAG WITH CALIFORNIA GAR MEDALS AND BADGES. Well worn but very nice display of a US Centennial flag, which is constructed of glazed linen, and mounted with various pieces of GAR insignia and ribbons. The circa 1876 flag was crafted to accommodate a tasteful caricature of George Washington, mounted on a stallion, standing atop the dates 1776-1876, with the word Centennial over his head. Interestingly, the flag maker chose to use a 36 star count, 6x6 pattern canton, instead of a 37 star count canton, which was the count since the admission of Nebraska as a state on March 1, 1867, and was officially recognized on July 4th 1867. The 37 star flag would fly until 1877 until Colorado was officially recognized as a state, making the count 38. The stripe count would be 11, except 2 stripes are missing. The GAR insignia hangs where the stripes once were, and features a GAR cap badge, ghosting of an April 1897 Department of California and Nevada 30th Annual Encampment ribbon, GAR County Adjutant medal, and April 1898 Nevada City, California 31st Annual Encampment ribbon. CONDITION: The flag is well worn, and obviously missing 2 stripes and 2 stars. Heavy wear is exhibited around the bottom where several pieces are missing. Colors have heavily faded. Various cracks and creases are evident. GAR medals and insignia exhibit wear, with the detached medal exhibiting a torn ribbon. Ghosting where the detached ribbon once hung, which sheds light on how long they were mounted. Very presentable, but would need a new frame. Overall fair. PROVENANCE: Roger Bender Collection.

2163 - US NAVY GREAT WHITE FLEET PATRIOTIC TRAPUNTO EMBROIDERY. Excellent example of an early 20th century patriotic U.S. naval trapunto commemorating a sailor’s cruise. This embroidery was most likely made in Japan as a souvenir to commemorate the US fleet’s voyage to Japan. The trapunto banner is constructed of beautiful silk floss and metallic thread that is embroidered on a slate black silk field. The designs feature typical American themes and are very patriotic in nature. The words “IN. REMEMBRANCE. OF. MY. CRUISE. HAWAII. PHILIPPINE. CHINA. AND. JAPAN.” are embroidered overtop of 13 white stars followed by a spread winged screaming eagle that features exquisite detailed feathers and eye. The eagle is perched on bundles of arrows which are behind a thick silk threaded patriotic shield that contains a photograph of three unidentified sailors. The shield sits in between a panoply of American flags, three on each side. The flags drape down to the bottom of the banner and hover above crossed cannons, an anchor, and cannonballs that rest on top of a banner that reads “E PLURIBUS UNUM”. Finally, completing the banner is a wonderful painting of a Great White Fleet ship slicing through the waves of an angry sea in the foreground of a menacing dark sky. CONDITION: The colors remain strong and vibrant. The thick designs remain intact with no signs of loose threads and pop out of the banner. The banner is not secured in the frame and moves when handled. The frame defects are the only flaw of this wonderful display piece. The trapunto is perfectly preserved and would compliment any naval collection. Overall excellent. JLD 400 - 1,000 2164 - ZENITH 8-DAY SHIP’S CHRONOMETER GIMBAL CASED DECK WATCH. Zenith 8-Day US Navy ship’s chronometer cased and gimballed deck watch/clock. #202239, converted from 6 jewels to 15 jewels to meet US Navy specifications by Vail Watch Co. in Chicago during the later part of World War I. Movement marked “Zenith, Swiss, 202239, 8 Days, 15 Jewels, Three-3-Adj., Vail Watch Co., USA”. Running. Cased in an attractive blue felt lined mahogany travel case. CONDITION: Brass components exhibit a pleasing patina with scattered areas of tarnishing. Glass is clear with no cracks or chips. Case exhibits scratches and typical handling wear. Verdigris on brass case components. Overall very good. JLD 1,000 - 2,000 2165 - WORLD WAR II CROUSE HINDS NAVAL LIGHT. Nice example of a World War II era ship’s light. The light is marked across the top of the rim “CROUSE HINDS CO.” and “SYRACUSE N.Y. U.S.A.” across the bottom. The light is also marked “HL-P 1945” across the bottom. The original specification label remains riveted to the top behind the rim. There are several parts included with this fixture, including the base, glass lens, and some brackets. The light appears to be incomplete as there is nothing to secure it to the base. A replacement part can most likely be fabricated. The light and the accompanying parts are painted in classic navy gray. These lights were commonly used by both military and merchant “liberty” ships in both theaters throughout the war. Although it requires some assembly, this is a very nice example of nautical equipment and would compliment a naval collection. CONDITION: The function of the light has not been determined as it has not been tested. The light retains most of its original paint. There are scattered blemishes and imperfections including chips in the paint and wear to the metal. Overall good. JLD 600 - 1,000

2166 - CIRCA 20TH CENTURY SHIP’S ENGINE ORDER TELEGRAPH. Attractive and displayable circa 20th Century Ship’s engine order telegraph. As the word describes, the telegraph on board ship is used as a communicating device to transfer orders of change in speed or direction from the bridge to the engine control room since the bridge and engine control room are on different levels. The engine order telegraph consists of levers which can be moved over different speed positions for ahead and astern direction. The initial movement of telegraph is always from the navigation bridge and is done by moving the lever in the required direction, which rings the telegraph bell. Both the telegraph and the engine room contain a bell which will ring when the order is moved. This example is constructed of brass with wood handles. The pedestal exhibits a plaque which is marked by Admiral Marine Co. The face is black with white letters and is covered with plastic in place of glass. The face is marked by A. Robinson & Co. LTD. CONDITION: The brass exhibits a pleasing patina with scattered dark spots. The levers function properly all the way around and the bell sounds when moved. Plastic covers are loose and side cover is separating. This would compliment a nautical themed display. Overall good. JLD 1,000 - 2,000

Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1882 Chafee-Reese Caliber/Bore: .45-70 Gov Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Antique These unique bolt action repeaters were designed by Reuben Chaffee and General James Reece, and were trialed by the US Army with little success. Just 753 units produced by Springfield Armory in 1884. This high condition rifle features a 28” polish blued barrel proofed at breech “V / P / (Eagle Head)” and chambered in the government standard .45-70 cartridge. Blade front sight and “C-R” marked trapdoor style rear sight graduated to 1400 yards. Receiver marked “US-SPRINGFIELD.-1884.”.

Stock stamped at wrist with script encircled “P” proof, crisp Samuel Porter “SWP / 1884” cartouche at heel, and “229562” museum number stamped on the left above the trigger guard.

Originally, in 1884 General William T. Sherman recommended that the Museum of Arms at the Ordnance Department in Washington acquire a Chaffee-Reece. When their headquarters were moved in 1904, the War Department transferred several historical arms kept there to the Smithsonian Institution, including this rifle listed by the catalog number stamped on the stock.

2174 - (C) SCARCE G PREFIX IRISH SMLE MK I*** .303 BOLT ACTION RIFLE, SPARKBROOK MANUFACTURE. Manufacturer: Sparkbrook Model: SHTLE I*** Serial No. G685 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 25” FFL Status: Curio & Relic In the throes of the Irish Civil War, the pro-Treaty government acquired a large number of rifles from Britain in order to fight the anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army. The guns had their serial numbers lined out and new numbers applied; belief is that there was concern about soldiers “losing” their guns and the guns turning up in I.R.A hands. This example has the original number lined out and then renumbered in the “ER” range (ER178), the most common range for standard guns. It was then converted to a grenade launching rifle (as indicated by the wire wrapping around forearm), and renumbered into the “G” series. Matching numbers observed on nosecap and receiver (barrel not checked due to wire), bolt is mismatched, which is very common on the G prefix guns.

2185 - US WWI ARMY AIR SERVICE TIME CAPSULE PAINTED FOOTLOCKER, UNIFORM, PHOTO, AND DOCUMENT GROUPING. Exceptional example of a US World War I footlocker time capsule grouping named to 2nd Lieutenant Alfred George Schafer. The grouping is vast, and contains a plethora of paperwork, documents, photos, and uniform pieces, all which chronicle his time in the US Army Air Service. Schafer’s military career began on December 3, 1917 when he joined the US Army and subsequently qualified as a cadet in the US Army Air Service. According to records, Schafer never traveled overseas with the Allied Expeditionary Force, but was assigned to various well known air fields around the United States. These include Camp Dick from April-May 1918, Dorr Field from May-August 1918, Wilbur Wright Field, from August-October 1918, and Payne Field from October 1918 to when he was honorably discharged on January 3, 1919. Based off of the paperwork, Schafer was an avid note taker and was preparing to go overseas. The grouping contains a large amount of classroom instruction notes and manuals regarding the functions of the Air Service, and Schafer’s role as a 2nd Lieutenant and Aviator. Among these notes are maps, and pages of different symbols which would be used to identify lines, roads, advances, and much more on map keys. There are also several documents pertaining to Schafer’s promotion to 2nd Lieutenant, as well as telegrams which order him to report to his various assignments. In the nutshell, Schafer seemed to have kept every document that was given to him both during his time in the service, and relating to his time in the service shortly after the war. The second layer of the trunk, beneath the tray, are Schafer’s uniforms which include his wool dress tunic with, lightweight summer tunic, both with “vegetable buttons” and wool trousers. There is also an officer’s visor hat, however the leather brim has separated. Also included is Schafer’s early leather flying jacket which is in poor condition, as there is a large hole in the reverse at the collar. The cuffs and waistband are in good condition. There is also a nice clock, which was mounted to the center of a cut down propeller, and his pair of leather officer boots. Interestingly, the original uniform receipt in the group states that Schafer paid 95 dollars for his boots and uniform. The grouping is all contained in Schafer’s footlocker, which is painted with his name and Army Air Service roundel. CONDITION: Most of the paperwork is wonderfully preserved but exhibits various blemishes which are typical of old paper. The flight jacket as stated, is in poor condition. The other uniform pieces are in otherwise good condition, with typical stains and blemishes noticed. The uniforms are devoid of insignia with the exception of the wool tunic, which boasts two silver service chevrons. The footlocker exhibits various scuffs, scrapes, and other blemishes, but the paint presents nicely. This is a very nice time capsule WWII Air Service grouping. Overall good.

The North Russia Expeditionary Force fought the Red Army in the surrounding region during September 1918-July 1919. Although a more overlooked portion of The Great War, North Russia proved to be a formidable theater. An October 1919 report listed casualties as “553: 109 killed in battle; 35 died of wounds; 81 from disease; 19 from accidents/other causes; 305 wounded and 4 POWS”. Gitz is listed as a private in HQ Company, 340th Infantry (85th Division) as well as Company M, 339th Infantry Regiment on several transport records including one where he is listed aboard the USS Von Steuben on June 22, 1919.

Excellent, attributed World War I US Army Signal Corps, Aviation Section Pilot Uniform. The uniform is attributed by an old piece of paper which was folded in the upper left pocket which reads “Lt Col. Charles C. Benedict Commandant 2nd Corps Aero School.” Charles Calvert Benedict was born in Hastings, Nebraska, on February 12, 1890 and entered the United States Military Academy in 1911. Shortly after graduation in 1915, he transferred to the Aviation Section, Signal Corps, and finished his flight training at San Diego in the spring of 1917 and was sent overseas in January 1918. His first command was the Cadet Detachment at Saint Maixent and was later sent to the Third Aviation Instruction Center at Issondum. During his station at the largest pilot school in the American Expeditionary Force, he was first in command of the Headquarters Detachment and later in charge of flying. In August 1918, when the American Expeditionary Force was preparing for the Argonne offensive, Major Benedict received orders for the Zone of Advance. He had hoped to have command of a squadron at the front, but was sent instead to the Second Corps Aero School at Chatillon-sur-Seine, as Director and in November, promoted to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel. Following the armistice he held the posts of commanding officer, Trier Airdrome, Germany, Air Service Commander, Third Corps and Air Service Commander, Seventh Corps. The latter command took him to Neuwied, Germany, from which station he returned to the United States in August 1919. He later graduated the Air Corps Engineering School and spent time at McCook (now Wright) Field and narrowly escaped death during a practice parachute jump. Orders later came assigning Major Benedict to the Air Corps Tactical School at Langley Field, Virginia where he would meet his fate. Death met Benedict while he was attempting an aerial attack on a captive balloon, crashing on the airdrome in sight of his friends and students from an altitude between 800-1000 feet.

2191 - US WWII 666TH FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION REGIMENTAL FLAG. Model 1921 regimental flag for the 666th Field Artillery Battalion. In 1943 the Office of the Army Quartermaster General had ordered the Philadelphia Depot to create unit flags with blank center shields which would display the unit crest, along with blank scrolls above and below the eagle where the unit’s designation and motto would appear. These flags would be completed when a unit insignia and motto had been formally approved. This flag, in red for an artillery unit, was obviously prepared in accordance with the 1943 directive from the Quartermaster General, with the distinctive insignia and unit designation left blank. When the unit’s distinctive insignia and motto were approved they were embroidered, along with the unit designation, on the flag. The 666th Field Artillery Battalion was formed late in the war, served throughout Europe from 1944-1945, and does not appear to have ever created a unit crest. The flag is constructed of a red silk blend that was commonly used during World War II and immediately thereafter. Bordered with gold fringe, it is double sided and superbly embroidered with an American eagle. The sleeve of the flag contains a Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot tag that bears the date “May 2, 1944”. The flag measures approximately 3’ x 4’ not including the fringe.

2195 - US WWII HAND DRAWN NORMANDY CAMPAIGN MAP DEPICTING THE ADVANCE OF XV CORPS, 1944. This is an excellent World War II hand drawn map of XV Corps that was passed by the U.S. Army Censor and not for publication. XV Corps played a significant role during World War II, especially during the time this map was drawn, as they were one of the key army groups which took part in the breakout from Normandy during Operation Cobra. The map features the movements of the Corps, starting on August 1 1944, through August 29, 1944. What is even more interesting are the notes of the composer, who adds information regarding the advance, and at the same time, highlights enemy positions around key locations which have been cemented into American history. Some notable locations include St. Lo, where fierce fighting took place in the early summer of 1944, Caen, which needs no introduction to the airborne collector, and Mortain, which is most notable for Operation Luttich which took place between August 7-13, 1944 and was the codename for the German counter-attack during the Battle of Normandy that occurred in the vicinity of the US positions in northwestern France. Some notable units mentioned on the map are the 5th Armored Division and the 90th Infantry Division. The map ends in the upper right corner which notes the first Allied bridgehead that was established by XV Corps on August 19-20 at the Seine River. The map is labeled at the top center “Passed by U.S. Army Censor / Not For Publication” with the timespan labeled at the bottom right corner. Rivers are drawn with light blue colored pencil, movements with pencil, and notes and locations are written with ink. The map measures approximately 24” x 18”. CONDITION: The map has yellowed with age and exhibits areas of loss around the edges. The right side of the map is particularly worn with visible tears and creases. There are 2 significant tears which span the length of the map which indicate the map is 3 pieces, placed together under the frame. The writing remains legible with slight fading but is incredibly well preserved. Overall good. Despite the condition this is a historically significant and rare map that depicts the early movements of the US Army as they spearheaded through France. Hand drawn maps from significant timeframes of this conflict are quite scarce and this would compliment any collection or display. JLD 800 - 1,200

2206 - US WWII 303RD BOMB GROUP POW AIR MEDAL AND PURPLE HEART GROUPING WITH RESEARCH. Fantastic fresh to the market World War II 303rd Bomb Group POW Air Medal and Purple Heart medal grouping. The medals belonged to Roland J. Bender (also spelled “Rollin” and other variations in the records). Bender enlisted in the Army Air Corps on August 13, 1942 and his misadventures began during training when he was injured in a B-17 crash during a combat training mission in which 4 other fliers were killed. The crash was recorded in several newspapers in Florida, where he was training at the Avon Park Army Air Field, as well as his home state of Wisconsin. Throughout the training records, Bender is listed as a radioman, gunner, and ball turret gunner. After he graduated training Bender traveled overseas to England with the 358th Bomb Squadron of the 303rd Bomb Group. The 303rd Bomb Group needs no introduction, as the group distinguished themselves in combat and earned the name “Hell’s Angels”. Bender was assigned to the crew of Lt. Chet H. Jameson and began flying missions in 1944. On November 26, 1944 Bender and the rest of the men in Jameson’s crew would have their wings clipped by the Luftwaffe. On that day, railway, transport and oil industry installations in the cities of Altenbeken, Bielefeld, Misburg, Hamm, Osnabruck, Hanover, Gutersloh, and Herford were selected as targets for more than 1000 B-17 and B-24 bombers. Bender’s B-17, tail number 42-97972, was assigned Altenbeken as their primary target and he is listed as the ball turret gunner. His plane was attacked and severely damaged by 2 Luftwaffe fighters on the approach to Altenbeken. After a fire broke out between engines number 3 and 4 in the right wing, the pilot gave the order to bail out. The entire crew was able to exit the aircraft in time and deploy their parachutes. The B-17 exploded in the air with the full bomb load a short time later and debris fell to the ground in the Kalldorf district of the municipality of Kalletal, on a field between the federal highway 514 and the Kukenbrink. Bender and the other crew members were taken prisoner in the surrounding communities. He would spend the rest of the war in Stalags 4, 5, and 7A. This was their 7th mission assigned to B-17 42-97972. Ironically, the personnel of the 358th Bomb Squadron were photographed in front of B-17 42-97972 on November 21, 1944, just 5 days before the aircraft was destroyed. The grouping includes Bender’s unengraved and unnumbered Purple Heart Medal, complete with lapel pin, ribbon bar, and contained in its original coffin case. His Air Medal is also unengraved and is accompanied by a ribbon bar and a pair of aircrew wings marked “A.E. CO. UTICA N.Y.” and “Sterling” on the reverse contained in the Air Medal case. The medals are accompanied by their original onionskin orders as well as a file of paperwork which was compiled by our researcher and includes scans of newspaper clippings, a crew photo enlistment records, and scans of the 18 page MACR. This is a great grouping from one of the most well known Bomb Groups of the 8th Air Force. CONDITION: Medals present well, wings have broken clasp, and there are scuffs on the cases. Onionskin orders are fragile and have been folded in the case since the war. Overall very good. PROVENANCE: Roger Bender Collection. JLD 500 - 1,000

2207 - LARGE LOT OF US WWII-MODERN COMBAT INFANTRY BADGES. Lot consists of 31 Combat Infantry Badges which date from WWII through the Vietnam War and into the modern era. The badges are quite diverse, with no two badges being exactly the same. Some of the badges are marked “Sterling” with several of the badges marked “E & H SIMON / STERLING GI” on the reverse. 1 is marked “J. BALME FRANCE”. Several exhibit foreign clasps, with one interesting example featuring a German WWII style badge clasp, and was most likely crafted for a soldier participating in the occupation of Germany after WWII. Another example is marked “LUDLOW / LONDON”. Two of the badges were converted to bracelets. Perhaps the most interesting example is a CIB with 3 stars denoting fighting in 4 different wars. There is controversy around this award, given the requirements, but these badges were authorized but never awarded. AR 672-5-1 dated 3 May 1961 prescribed up to the fourth award of the CIB, and it is mentioned in regulations through the 1960s. This example is marked “N.S. MEYER, INC. / NEW YORK” on the reverse. CONDITION: Some badges exhibit tarnishing and others exhibit enamel loss. Overall fair-very good. PROVENANCE: Roger Bender Collection. JLD 500 - 1,000

2208 - US WWII USMC PURPLE HEART AND FLIGHT LOG GROUPING OF CAPTAIN GRAFTON S. STIDGER, KIA VMF-215 “THE FIGHTING CORSAIRS”. World War II US Navy KIA Purple Hearts, flight log book, photos, newspaper articles, EGAs, and research file of a Marine pilot and one of the original members of VMF-215. Grafton Samuel “Sammy” Stidger was born on January 12, 1920 in New Mexico and was the eldest of 4 sons born to Howe and Hazel Stidger. Grafton, more commonly known as “Sam” or “Sammy”, attended Farmington High School and graduated with the class of 1937. After graduation, he worked in the mines in Farmington, but his dream was to become a pilot. Sammy enrolled as a freshman at Fairmont State College in the fall of 1939 and when he found out that the Civilian Pilot Program was being offered at the college, he jumped at the chance to enroll. He received his primary and secondary flight training at the Bridgeport Airport, achieving his goal of becoming a pilot. Sam later decided to fly for the military and he enlisted in the US Navy in August 1941. He completed his single engine training in July 1942, and was listed as an aviation cadet, USNR. According to his logbook, Sammy had made the transition from N3Ns and SNJs to F4F Corsairs by the winter of 1942 and is listed to have participated in the early combat air patrols and convoy escorts with VMF-215 in early 1943. The young pilot, known for his “wit and charm” departed the United States with the squadron on February 23, 1943, and was first sent to Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, Hawaii, departing on May 12 for Midway where they stayed for 2 months before leaving in mid-June 1943, when they left Midway and departed for the South Pacific. Sammy and the rest of the squadron arrived on Espiritu Santo on July 1, 1943, and immediately began taking part in fighter sweeps against Japanese bases in the northern Solomon Islands. The squadron made history on August 14, 1943 when an F4U Corsair from VMF-215 was the first plane to arrive at the newly captured Munda airfield. However, the most remarkable and historical action for VMF-215 of the time was not landing at Munda airfield, but instead was committed by Stidger. While flying over San Isabel on August 30, 1943 Sammy Stidger jumped an FW-190 and shot it down in the vicinity of San Isabel, as recorded in his logbook. According to records, only 1 FW-190 A5 was sent to the Imperial Japanese Air Forces for testing in 1943. One of the test pilots, Lieutenant Commander Aramaki Yoshitsugu, noted when he was questioned regarding the fate of the aircraft, that he thought it was loaned to a reconnaissance unit and knew no more. Photos later surfaced of the fuselage of a FW-190 at Kagamigahara. Apparently, the German fighter was acquired by Kawasaki in time for the development of the Ki-100 at Kagamigahara by late 1944 and the remains of the aircraft were located by American occupiers towards the end of the war. This kill raised some eyebrows when Stidger made the claim, as it would be very strange for the squadron to encounter an aircraft which was quite a rarity in that theater. How this type of plane would be flying reconnaissance in the South Pacific was a mystery to the members of VMF-215, but nevertheless, Stidger was given credit for an FW-190 kill. Accounts state that friendly natives gave another member of VMF-215, George Sanders, a pistol taken from the pilot of Stidger’s downed “FW-190” and that the pilot had been cut in two by the explosion of the aircraft and no longer needed a weapon. It would later be confirmed that VMF-215 pilots claimed 4 Ki-44 single engine fighters that day, one of which was misidentified as an FW-190. After this action, Stidger and the squadron continued their operations and a month later Sammy would find himself in a predicament in the air. On September 1, 1943, then Lt. Grafton Stidger was flying as fighter cover over Rendova Island in the Solomons, when their flight was spotted by enemy aircraft. A dog fight ensued in which Stidger was credited with scoring hits on several Japanese aircraft. During the commotion, an enemy plane came in behind him and, according to Captain Charles Mathiew, “poured a long burst into his plane.” The Japanese fighter inflicted serious damage on Stidger’s Corsair, resulting in a hole in his gas tank, and a section of wing was also shot away. Gripping his controls, Stidger struggled to maintain altitude as the cockpit filled with smoke, and as the engine began to choke. Accounts state he was seen pushing back his canopy as he pushed himself out of the bullet ridden and doomed Corsair. His ordeal was not over, as he did not get clear of the aircraft as he bailed out and he struck the antenna, aerial wires, and rudder with such force that he was knocked unconscious just as he was able to pull the cord on his parachute. Although dazed, he managed to gather his bearings after regaining consciousness and, shortly after, landed in the water where he was later rescued. After this encounter he spent 3 weeks in a Sydney, Australia hospital and was awarded his first Purple Heart for wounds received in action. In the aftermath of this incident, Stidger wrote to the man who had packed his parachute, Pfc. Richard L. Cook of Lansing, Michigan, to thank him for “a packing job that worked.” On his return to base after recovering from his injuries, Stidger received 2 gifts: the parachute that had saved his life and a new watch to replace the one lost on the mission. The note still survives with Richard Cook’s family. Stidger jumped back into his cockpit as soon as he got the chance and continued his harassment of Japanese forces. He is mentioned over 40 times in Jeff Dacus’ book “The Fighting Corsairs” with many details provided regarding his missions. There are mentions of Stidger strafing and destroying aircraft on the ground and how even in a dark time of war, he would see the humorous side of things, especially when he would describe the Japanese ground personnel scrambling around during raids. Other mentions include how Stidger would harass 236

www.MorphyAuctions.com | July 13, 2022

Japanese ground forces “Stidger spotted a seventyfoot-long boat loaded with Japanese soldiers, sending bullets back and forth through its hull. A giant explosion sent pieces of wood, metal, and flesh flying above the waves.” and “Stidger’s guns wreaked havoc among the parked aircraft, and the other pilots reported four planes burning after his attack.” Constant combat and climate conditions continuously wore down Stidger’s Corsair, which gained a reputation for not functioning properly on missions. Despite the disrepair, he would continue to climb into the cockpit and fly missions regardless of his safety. This would ultimately come back to haunt the young pilot. In January of 1944, VMF-215 was operating from the Island of Bougainville in the British Solomon Islands, and were flying strike missions directed at Rabaul. Stidger had been encountering engine trouble with his corsair and spent 3 days trying to fix it. On January 14th 1944, the 24-year-old Marine climbed into his corsair for one last time. After taking off in his war weary plane, he again ran into engine trouble and attempted to return to base. According to his friend Major Robert Owen, while on approach, Stidger must have swerved to miss aircraft which were taking off and crashed short of the runway. He was killed instantly, 2 days after his 24th birthday. His logbook ends with the entry on January 14, which was added by one of his friends, “Capt. Stidger killed in action this date”. The Japanese could not claim Stidger, and in a cruel twist of fate the devoted aviator was killed by his own plane. After his death, he was first buried on Bougainville but was later reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery. He was posthumously awarded an Air Medal and another Purple Heart. The lot consists of 2 of Stidger’s Purple Hearts, WWII Victory Medal, Flight Logbook, 2 newspaper clippings, Aviation Cadet Card, and 2 period photos. The paper items are contained in an envelope which was sent home by Stidger dated November 18, 1943. (A) The first Purple Heart is missing everything but is nicely engraved “CAPT. / GRAFTON S. STIDGER / U.S.M.C.R.” on the reverse in USMC style engraving. The medal is accompanied by an onion skin citation which states the Purple Heart was awarded for injury as a result of enemy action on August 10, 1943. CONDITION: Slight areas of gilt loss. Overall good. Citation has been folded for years but is in very good condition. (B) 1942 US Mint Type I Naval Purple Heart, constructed of sterling silver, sterling silver planchette ring, plastic heart, and sterling silver split wrap brooch. All, with the exception of the plastic heart, are gold gilded. The ribbon features a gold star, denoting a second award, this is presumably the medal which was awarded to Stidger posthumously. The medal is engraved on the reverse “CAPT. / GRAFTON S. / STIDGER. / U.S.M.C.R.” in USMC style engraving. The medal is complete with its 1/2” ribbon bar which is marked “STERLING SILVER” on the reverse and is housed in the original Type I purple box. The Purple Heart is accompanied by a WWII Victory Medal. CONDITION: The medal exhibits gilt loss around the edges, especially towards the bottom. Ribbon is slightly faded. Velvet lining exhibits a circular impression and scattered stains. Exterior of the box is clean, with evidence of once being taped shut. The lid opens about 75%. Overall very good. (C) Stidger’s flight logbook, named to him on the interior as well at the bottom. The entries start at December 8, 1941 with training flights and end with his death on January 14, 1944. The book is about half full of entries. Stidger had very good penmanship and wrote various notes for each mission including which of his squadron mates crashed, what missions entailed, and where they were going. His “FW-190” kill is recorded and the entire logbook is an interesting read especially considering the latter entries, which are his combat missions, and may have been the last things Stidger wrote. CONDITION: The book exhibits handling wear, which is typical considering Stidger handled this book most days. Entries are clear and legible. Overall good. (D) Also included in the lot are a Gemsco 1930s era officer’s dress cap EGA and a pin-back single collar emblem. (E) 2 newspaper articles, 1 detailing the success of the squadron ending with details of his death, and another regarding Stidger’s mother receiving his Purple Heart. The article is quite interesting and details his “reconnaissance aircraft” (FW-190) kill as well as several successful strikes by Stidger. CONDITION: Typical yellowing and edge wear. Overall fair. (F) Envelope and aviation cadet card. CONDITION: Both exhibit blemishes typical of old paper but the print remains legible. Overall fair. (G) 2 photos, the first of Stidger on his cadet uniform, annotated on the reverse that it was taken in Jacksonville, Florida in May 1942, and later period annotated in 1944 noting that he was killed in action. The second photo is of a Corsair pilot who does not appear to be Stidger, but perhaps a fellow VMF-215 pilot. CONDITION: Photos are clear, light wear. Overall very good. Finally, the group is complete with a file of research and copies of photos of Stidger compiled by our researcher. The file includes muster rolls, memorials, and accounts from Stider’s service. The photos depict Stidger in his flight gear, a group shot of VMF-215, and a photo of members of VMF-215 receiving awards in November 1943, Stidger is pictured on the far right, standing at attention waiting to be awarded with his first Purple Heart. The only thing that could improve the group is a copy of Jeff Dacus’ book “The Fighting Corsairs” and it would be wise for the buyer to purchase a copy. In conclusion, this is an excellent, fresh to the market Purple Heart grouping from a model Marine who flew in a reputable squadron. Grafton “Sammy” Stidger may have been Killed in Action in 1944, but his memory and exploits will live on through his medals and the new caretaker. Stidger never got to grow old and sacrificed his life to preserve future generations. It is only fair that the deeds are reciprocated by preserving his surviving memorabilia and legacy.

2209 - US WWII KIA USMC PURPLE HEART OF DONALD S. BATCHELOR, VMSB-143, MIA SOLOMON ISLANDS. World War II US Marine Corps MIA/KIA Purple Heart engraved to a TBF-1 Avenger Radio Operator Gunner. Donald Stewart Batchelor was born on June 8, 1921 in Ontario, Canada where he lived with his mother Elva, and father Royal Batchelor. The family was small with Donald being their only child. On December 11, 1926, The family, comprising of Irish and English descent, decided to immigrate to the United States when Donald was only 5 years old. They eventually settled in St. Claire Shores, Michigan, where Donald spent the rest of his childhood just south of his home country of Canada. During his late teens and early adult years, Donald was able to find work at the Chrysler Corporation and was employed at their Jefferson Plant. Donald continued to work for the Chrysler Corporation until the eruption of World War II, and he entered the service less than 3 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor on March 2, 1942. Eager to serve his adopted country, the 5’11 blonde hair and blue eyed Donald joined the Marine Corps, where he fulfilled the role of a radio operator/gunner on TBF Avengers. Although the Grumman TBF Avenger was a rugged aircraft, the radio operator was a vulnerable position. Avengers consisted of a 3 man crew: the pilot, the gunner, who was kept busy in his powered turret with a .50-caliber machine gun, and the third crew member was the radio operator. Instead of sitting under the canopy, Donald sat in the crew compartment that ran from floor to ceiling behind the bomb bay doors and beneath the turret gunner. Other crewman joked and called this space “the tunnel” or the “cheap seats” due to the fact that it was noisy, smelly, and claustrophobic. The position was vulnerable because there was no armor in the bottom of the tunnel as there was around the seats of the pilot and turret gunner, which was especially dangerous when under attack by AA fire. Donald was also responsible for a variety of jobs which kept the radio operator quite busy during flight. In front of the radio operator were several panels for the radio, navigation, and weapons arming. Donald and other radio operators basically ran a rudimentary combat information center which was crucial to the successful operation of the aircraft. After completing his training, Donald was assigned to VMSB-143, a Marine Scout Bomber Squadron stationed at Guadalcanal. The squadron was commissioned on March 1, 1942, just a day before Donald’s enlistment, and departed the United States on October 15, 1942. The squadron began operations and flying combat missions a month later on November 17, 1942. Donald and the men of VMSB-143 were immediately thrown into action and began bombing targets in New Georgia, Bougainville, and the Solomon Islands with successful strikes against the Japanese at Munda Airfield, Kahili Airfield, and numerous Japanese vessels. VSMB-143 was also tasked with various mine laying missions in order to damage, sink, and deter Japanese ships. On May 19, 1943 Donald Batchelor would board his TBF-1 Avenger for his final mission. Donald was assigned to the crew of 1st Lieutenant Robert H. Keim Jr. and PFC Clarence H. Goodwin who he had flown with many times before. Their task for the night of May 19, 1943 was to lay mines around the Solomon Islands in order to thwart Japanese warships. During this day 30 TBF Avengers from VT-11 and VMSB-143 scored direct hits on the center of the starboard side of the ship Houn Maru causing intense flooding which forced the ship to be deliberately run aground at Buin Harbor on southern Bougainville. Despite the success of the mission, it was sad day for VSMB-143, as 2 of the Avengers did not return from their missions, including the Avenger piloted by Keim and crewed by Goodwin and Batchelor. One pilot who participated in the mission stated that numerous searchlights and anti-aircraft fire were encountered over the target area. When the aircraft failed to return they were officially declared Missing In Action. Robert Keim Jr.’s obituary is able to paint a clearer picture of what exactly happened that night: “He [Keim] ran a gantlet [sic] of blinding searchlights and bursting enemy shells, successfully accomplishing his missions before his plane, on its third night mine-laying flight in the Buin area, was shot down, the announcement stated.” Keim and his crew were cited for “participating in “hazardous” daylight bombing raids against Munda airfield in the face of “terrific antiaircraft fire” and awarded the Air Medal posthumously. No trace of the crew’s remains were ever recovered and the aircraft was never found. Donald and his crew remain missing in action to this day and are memorialized on the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, “A structure erected in honor of someone whose remains lie elsewhere.” There is not much written about Donald Stewart Batchelor, and his Purple Heart Medal may be one of the last pieces preserving his legacy. The Purple Heart is an early US Mint type I made of sterling silver, gold gilt, and plastic heart with split wrap brooch. The Medal is engraved on the reverse “P.F.C. / DONALD S. / BATCHELOR, / USMCR.” in USMC style engraving and is contained in its early war purple box. CONDITION: The medal exhibits areas of gilt loss, especially around the engraving. Box opens all the way, medal impression obvious on the velvet lining. Overall good. The Purple Heart is accompanied by a small folder of research. Donald Batchelor’s memory needs to be preserved in a place of honor where his story of fighting and giving everything for his adopted country is not forgotten. JLD 2,000 - 4,000 238

2210 - US WWII US NAVY KIA PURPLE HEART OF JOHN E. OLSON, SS JOHN BURKE, KAMIKAZE ATTACK KIA. World War II US Navy KIA Purple Heart Medal engraved to a sailor who served aboard the ill-fated SS John Burke. John Elmer Olson was born on December 23, 1919 in Seattle Washington. Olson attended high school through the 1930s and like every young man of the time, he registered for the draft on July 1, 1941 at the age of 21. Five months later, Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese naval and air forces, leading Olson and thousands of other Americans to join the military or assist in the war effort any way they could. Olson chose to fulfill his duty and join the United States Navy in order to serve his country at a time when his country needed him the most. Before he was sent overseas, Olson married Marie Travis, and the two tied the knot on March 19, 1943. Afterwards, Olson served several duties stateside before he was assigned to the SS John Burke, a Liberty Ship which was named for John Burke, the 10th Governor of North Dakota. The hull was launched in December of 1942 and the War Shipping Administration placed the ship under the management of the Northland Transportation Company. Olson’s job was to serve as one of the 28 armed guards which would help defend the lightly armed supply ship against enemy forces. Serving in the vital but often unsung role of a transport ship, the SS John Burke and her crew transported the materials of war between the United States and the areas of the Pacific Theater, often sailing at Pearl Harbor, Australia, Guadalcanal, Hollandia, and Manaus during the war. Olson’s final trip aboard the SS John Burke took place in late 1944 when the ship departed his hometown of Seattle, Washington for Guam, where he and the rest of the crew spent several days loading munitions for the invasion force on the island of Mindoro. After being loaded down with volatile munitions, the ship departed with the 100-ship “Uncle Plus 13” convoy, which was bound for Leyte Gulf in the Philippines. The convoy arrived at Leyte the night of December 27 ready to resupply American forces in the Area. Once the convoy arrived in the area, Japanese forces were alerted to the presence of the large supply convoy shortly before daybreak on December 28th. The Japanese realized 2 things: first that the convoy would be an immense target, and second that if the ships could be thwarted, then there was a chance that US forces on Mindoro would be essentially cut off from vital supplies and be vulnerable. Another important factor was that the weather was not on the American’s side. Foul weather and undesirable conditions around Leyte prevented the usual morning US Combat Air Patrol flight from providing cover to the slow and vulnerable Liberty Ships. As a response to the presence of the convoy, the Japanese dispatched a flight of 6 kamikaze aircraft from Cebu Island which headed for the convoy on the morning of December 28, 1944 at about 09:50. The flight included 3 A6M Zero fighters of the 201st Air Group, each carried a 250kg bomb. Olson and his shipmates joined the other ships in the convoy at general quarters shortly after the dawn weather report indicated that there would be no air cover. The crews waited anxiously for the inevitable arrival of Japanese aircraft. Once the first aircraft appeared on the convoy’s radar orders were given to begin evasive maneuvering. At about 10:18, the log of the USS Bush reported that about 7 or 8 planes commenced attacking the convoy from astern. The American ships immediately returned fire, realizing the desperation of their Japanese adversaries. At 10:19 Bush reported that 1 enemy plane had crashed in flames astern of the convoy in an attempted suicide dive. A minute later at 10:20 Bush reported that enemy planes were attacking the various units in the rear portion of the convoy with 2 planes that had crashed into the SS William Sharon and SS John Burke. An eyewitness account states that one of the Japanese pilots, flying an Aichi D3A “Val”, selected the SS John Burke as his target. The pilot dove through heavy anti-aircraft fire, and with no intention of pulling out of his steep dive and despite the damage to his aircraft, the Val smashed into the Burke at high speeds, crashing between Burke’s #2 and #3 cargo holds. After the impact, a brief flash of fire was observed by several ships in the convoy and for several seconds only smoke could be seen billowing from her hull. Shortly after, a huge pillar of fire shot out of Burke’s cargo hold, followed by a massive plume of white smoke. Within seconds, all attention was focused on the Burke where an enormous fireball erupted as the entire cargo of munitions detonated, incinerating the ship. For several seconds, Burke was not visible under a huge mushroom cloud of fire, smoke, and debris. The explosion was so significant that it damaged several ships nearby due to the tremendous force from the blast and flying fragments. The shock wave rocked the entire convoy, and even caused several ships to report that they had been torpedoed. At 10:21 Bush reported that the enemy places had ceased their attack and began to withdraw. Search efforts commenced immediately after the attack but proved to be fruitless as it was reported that there was no evidence of the ship or survivors. In just 2 minutes 1 ship and 68 lives had ceased to exist, including John Olson, who had just turned 25 5 days prior. Today, the little remains and fragments of the SS John Burke’s rest at around 1,500 feet below the surface, in the vicinity of the location the ship was last seen, in the strait between Negros, Siquijor Islands, and Mindanao, Philippines. Obviously no remains of any of the crew were ever recovered and all 68 crewmen are listed as KIA. Olson and the Liberty Ship crews are the unsung heroes of World War II and without them the war would have surely dragged on for many more years. Although he was never found, Olson’s Purple Heart Medal preserves his legacy, as well as the legacy of the SS John Burke. The medal is a 1944 US Mint Naval Purple Heart Medal type II constructed of bronze, with a Sterling planchette ring, Plastic heart, and Sterling full wrap brooch. All, with the exception of the plastic heart, are gold gilded. The medal is handsomely engraved on the reverse “JOHN E. / OLSON / S1C, / USN” in US Navy style engraving. Olson’s Purple Heart is accompanied by its 3/8” wide ribbon bar and is housed in its short coffin case. The medal is accompanied by a file of research regarding John Olson and his ship, the SS John Burke. It is notable that there is a video which recorded the tremendous explosion of the SS John Burke and can be found in a variety of online sources. CONDITION: The medal exhibits slight tarnishing around the edges. Case opens and correctly stops half way. The case is also very clean and has not been handled much since the war. Overall very good. This is an extremely significant World War II Purple Heart Medal from a tragedy which cost the lives of John Olson and his fellow Sailors. It is imperative that his legacy as well as the legacy of the SS John Burke is preserved for future generations. JLD 2,000 - 4,000

2211 - US WWII US NAVY KIA PURPLE HEART OF JOSEPH C. LUIZ, USS LOUISVILLE, KAMIKAZE KIA 1945. World War II US Navy KIA Purple Heart Medal engraved to a signalman who served aboard the Northampton-class cruiser, USS Louisville. Joseph Charles Luiz was born in Vallejo, California on January 22, 1922. Born into a large family, he was the son of Mary Cinquini and had 1 sister as well as 3 brothers. Joseph attended St. Mary’s College High School in Peralta Park, Berkeley, California, and graduated after completing grades 8-12. After completing high school, Luiz sought employment and acquired a job for 7 months as a night clerk at the Hotel Van in Willits, California. Joseph was employed at the hotel during the Attack on Pearl Harbor, and upon hearing news of the attack, immediately took the necessary steps to begin the process of enlistment in the Navy. He signed his Application for Enlistment on December 8, 1941 in San Francisco, California, just one day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He noted that his father was deceased and the ambitious Joseph stated that he sought a career in the United States Navy. After gaining his mother’s consent, Joseph enlisted and entered service as an Apprentice Seaman at the Naval Recruiting Station in San Francisco, California, signing on for 6 years’ service on December 13, 1941, at the age of 19. Shortly after he was transferred to the Naval Training Station in San Diego, California, where he received instruction and began his training. Once his recruit training had been completed, Joseph was transferred to the Northampton-class cruiser USS Louisville on January 5, 1942. He was named Seaman Second Class on June 30, 1942 and is listed on a variety of the Louisville’s muster rolls. Joseph was a fine example of a sailor and received 2 promotions, first to Seaman First Class on March 1, 1943, then appointed Signalman Third Class on June 1, 1943. Several of Joseph’s brothers also served in the Navy and they spent much of their time on leave together. On November 11, 1942, the cruiser USS Louisville departed San Francisco for Pearl Harbor, on a mission to escort several troop transports as far as New Caledonia. She then proceeded north to Espiritu Santo in order to join Task Force 67, which was then battling Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands. This would be the beginning of the Louisville’s battle-hardened saga as she and her crew would go on to participate in some of the most intense battles of the Pacific War. On January 29, 1943, Louisville participated In the Battle off Rennell Island, the last of the 7 naval battles for Guadalcanal, after which she operated east of the island until it was entirely secured. Later in April and May 1943, the Louisville participated in the Aleutians Campaign as a member of Task Force 16 the ship aided in the assault and bombardment of Attu and Kiska. After the Japanese occupation, Louisville conducted convoy escort operations in the Northern Pacific. In August 1943, she proceeded to the Mare Island Navy Yard for an overhaul to her machinery and alterations where she remained from October 8-December 24, 1943. Following this work in January 1944, Joseph would sail his last cruise with the Louisville. The ship returned to the southern Pacific as the flagship of Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf. Signalman Third Class Joseph Charles Luiz is credited with having served with USS Louisville, participating in the Marianas Campaign, including the bombardment, invasion, and occupation of Saipan and Tinian and the re-occupation of Guam. As a part of the Bombardment and Fire Support Group, he participated in the bombardment and assault on Leyte Island in the Philippines, rendering fire support during the occupation from October 18-29, 1944, along with being commended for excellent performance of duty during the Battle of Surigao Strait on October 25, 1944, which resulted in the destruction of many Japanese warships. In addition, Luiz participated in the bombardment and occupation of Peleliu, Palau Group from December 12-24 1944. Joseph had his share of close calls in dangerous waters. While Louisville was bombarding Leyte, she was hit by kamikaze plane shrapnel, killing 1 of her crew. On October 25, 1944, she was in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, participating in the last engagement of a battleline, as the Japanese southern force attempted to force its way into Leyte Gulf through Surigao Strait. During the Battle of Surigao Strait, USS Louisville helped to sink the bow section of the Japanese battleship Fuso, after the battleship had broken into 2 from an internal explosion caused by a torpedo from the destroyer USS Melvin. Following the Leyte operations, USS Louisville joined Task Force 38, and participated in pre-invasion strikes against the enemy on Luzon. By the new year of 1945, Louisville was headed towards Lingayen Gulf and while on its way, became under attack by Japanese aircraft. On January 5-6, 2 kamikazes scored hits on her. The first kamikaze on January 5, 1945, hit the No. 2 main battery 8” gun knocking it completely out of commission, killing 1 man, and 17 injured/burned. The second kamikaze on January 6, 1945 hit the starboard side signal bridge, right at Joseph’s battle station. During the attack, Rear Admiral Theodore E. Chandler, commander of Cruiser Division 4, was fatally injured helping the sailors man handle the fire hoses to put out the massive flames during the latter attack, and died of his wounds the following day. The attack resulted in the deaths of 41 sailors with 125 or more wounded. Despite extensive damage, the cruiser shelled the beaches and shot down several enemy planes before withdrawing and proceeding to Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs. Following this action, a thorough search of the area was conducted, but no trace of Luiz could be found, as he was most likely blown from the ship or incinerated by the blast and subsequent fire. His family was informed on January 26, 1945 that their beloved son and brother was “missing following action while in the service of his country”. Since there was little hope for Joseph’s survival, it was assumed that he was killed as the result of enemy the kamikaze attack on January 6, 1945. The Luiz family received a Letter of Condolence from the Commander of the USS Louisville Captain Rex LeGrande Hicks, who also apologized for having sent a typewritten note to her and not having been in his own handwriting, as he himself had been injured during the attack. Joseph Charles Luiz, initially declared Missing in Action after the attack on January 6, 1945, was officially declared Killed in Action, as his remains were “determined to be non-recoverable”. The young man gave everything and sacrificed his life in service of his country, He was only 22, and was tragically killed 16 days shy of turning 23, ending his naval career early. His sister was tasked with the decision of having her brother’s personal effects returned to him and his brother Edward Luiz was informed that Joseph’s Purple Heart Medal would be sent to him. Since Joseph does not have a proper resting place, he is memorialized on the Tablets of the Missing, at Manila in the American Cemetery and Memorial in Taguig City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region, Philippines. He is also memorialized through his Purple Heart, which has outlived the wartime members of Joseph’s family. The medal is a 1944 US Mint Naval Purple Heart Medal type II constructed of Bronze, with a Sterling planchette ring, Plastic heart, and Sterling full wrap brooch. All with the exception of the plastic heart are gold gilded. The medal is handsomely engraved on the reverse “JOSEPH / C. LUIZ / SM3C / USN” in later war US Navy style engraving. Joseph’s Purple Heart is accompanied by its lapel pin, 3/8” wide ribbon bar, spare ribbon, and is housed in its coffin case. The medal is accompanied by a file of research regarding Joseph Luiz and the USS Louisville as well as a printed photo of Luiz with one of his brothers. It is notable that there is a video which recorded the January 6, 1945 kamikaze strike on the USS Louisville and can be found in a variety of online sources. CONDITION: The medal exhibits scattered light scratches. The ribbon bar exhibits fading. Case opens and correctly stops half way. The case exhibits slight blemishes but is very clean and has not been handled much since the war. Overall very good. This is a historically significant Purple Heart with a tragic story from a renowned Navy cruiser. It is imperative that Joseph Luiz’s service and memory is preserved and honored by future generations. JLD 2,000 - 4,000 240

Although the material damages were quickly repaired by the Japanese, the psychological effects of the raid were much more severe as it was evident that Japan was vulnerable to air attack. The print is numbered “689/940” and is signed Ficklen as well as James H. Doolittle. The frame measures 34 - 1/4” x 24 - 1/2”.

2237 - US KOREAN WAR F-86 SABRE PILOT UNIFORM AND B-15C FLIGHT JACKET GROUPING. Robert A. Blosser was born on February 10, 1921 and resided in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. According to documents, at the outbreak of WWII, Blosser filed for the draft and enlisted on September 27, 1943. Records regarding Blosser’s service during WWII are spotty as there is a gap until he was discharged from the service at Randolph Field, Texas on December 16, 1945. He is mentioned to have served as a fighter pilot in WWII and a small P-38 sweetheart pin that was passed down with his possessions may hint that he was a P-38 pilot. Blosser reenlisted in the Air Force on May 2, 1952 in order to serve his country during the Korean War. It was during this conflict that Blosser also served as a fighter pilot behind the controls of the swept wing, transonic F-86 Sabre. The F-86 was a revolutionary fighter during its time, as it was the United States’ first swept-wing fighter that could match its counterpart, the Soviet MiG-15 in dogfights in the war-torn skies over Korea. He was released from service on November 30, 1957. Blosser’s obituary lists him as a career officer with the U.S. Air Force with 20 years of service. He passed away in Sumter, South Carolina on July 13, 2008. Blosser’s grouping is small but includes his desirable medium azure B-15C flight jacket. The jacket, with its signature slant pockets and fur collar, retains its original spec tag. Although the tag is worn, the size marking “38” is still legible as is the manufacturer “Pritzker & Sons”. The jacket exhibits scattered staining but remains supple with 1 small area of fur loss on the collar and sturdy waistband and cuffs. There is fraying to the bottom of the right cuff. The crown zipper functions properly and zips and unzips smoothly. There is 1 Major oak leaf on the left shoulder and ghosting of pins on the right shoulder. The group also includes Blosser’s US Air Force Dress tan uniform tunic complete with all insignia and US Air Force Buttons. The fruit salad features his pinback pilot wings, with various campaign and service ribbons and a Silver Star with 3 oak leaf clusters and Purple Heart. There is also clutchback US insignia on the collar and clutchback Major oak leaves on each shoulder. His WWII period dog tags are secured to the left epaulette. The group also includes various smalls from Blosser’s career including his hat badge, zippo lighter, cloth and metal wings, and his concealed weapons permit from his civilian life. Interestingly, his WWII-era sterling marked wings are engraved “Love Ann” on the reverse and was most likely a symbol of affection from his sweetheart, as he most likely wore the wings over his heart on his WWII uniform. This is a very nice grouping that deserves further research. CONDITION: Clothing articles are in very good condition with the flight jacket exhibiting stains as mentioned. Dress tunic is excellent. Various smalls range from fair-very good. JLD 750 - 1,500 2238 - US COLD WAR LT. GENERAL ROBERT M. ELTON FATIGUE JACKET, LICENSE PLATE, AND PLAQUE GROUPING. Very nice small uniform grouping identified to Lieutenant General Robert M. Elton. Elton was born on September 13, 1932 and was graduated from West Point in 1954. Throughout his time in the service, Elton would distinguish himself in various commands. He served in Korea and Vietnam during the Cold War and was especially active during the Vietnam War, where he earned a Silver Star “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as a Battalion Commander, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, in the Republic of Vietnam, from 1967 to 1968.”. His Legion of Merit citation is just as impressive. Later, he was also in command of the 9th Infantry Division, and after that Elton was appointed as the Deputy Chief of Staff G-1 Personnel of the United States Army from 1983-1987. After his service in this distinguished position, Elton retired from the Army and is currently 89 years old. The grouping consists of Elton’s 1970s BDU shirt from when he held the rank of Major General and commanded the 9th Infantry Division. The shirt retains all of its original insignia including his Combat Infantry Badge, Parachutist Badge, name strip, 9th Infantry Division Patch with Ranger Tab, 101st Airborne Division patch (reflecting his service in Vietnam) and his Major General rank insignia which are pinned to the collar. The spec tag in the collar is washed out while the label on the interior right side remains legible. The shirt is accompanied by his Lieutenant General license plate and an appreciation plaque which was presented to Elton by his Civilian Personnel, addressed to him and dated 1987. CONDITION: The shirt is very clean overall, as expected of a uniform owned by a General. There are a few scattered stains which are most likely from storage. The license plate exhibits light scratches but is clean overall. Plaque exhibits wear. Overall very good. JLD 400 - 800

2244 - SIZEABLE AND IMPRESSIVE USMC UNIFORM, HELMET, INSIGNIA, SWORD, PHOTO, AND PAPER GROUPING OF COL. MAURICE W. FLETCHER. Career archive of Marine Corps aviator Maurice W. Fletcher. Fletcher was born Dec 22, 1914 in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He was a lifetime athlete and played football at the University of Alabama and went to the Rose Bowl twice. Included are college and high school scrapbooks dedicated to his early sports career. He started his military career in the 155th Infantry of the Mississippi National Guard. After several promotions through the the 1930s, Fletcher decided to further his military career and chose to pursue a path to becoming a Marine officer. One of his first assignments was in 1940 as a China Marine with Company ‘’B’’, Marine Detachment, American Embassy, Peiping. He reported in November of that year to Marine Barracks, Naval Air Station, Pensacola. Florida for flight training. He was winged as Naval Aviator #7364 on March 11, 1941. By the time World War II started, Fletcher was already an experienced pilot. While serving in various assignments throughout the U.S, he had racked up thousands of flight hours in numerous platforms to include pursuit, fighters, fighter bombers, etc. (F2F’s, TBD’s, SBD’s, SNJ’s). Judging by extensive logbook entries Fletcher was well traveled and flew out of many air stations and airfields on both coasts. His service extends 30 years and assignments are too numerous to list. Some of the highlights are: 1943 he was assigned to Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 151, MAG-13, 4th Base Defense Wing, Tutuila, Samoa. His last wartime assignment in WWII was with HQ Sqdrn, MAG-13, 4th MAW, Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands. VMF-212 was one of the first squadrons sent to Far East at the outbreak of the Korean War. They remained in Japan until Marines were able to capture Kimpo Airfield after the Battle of Inchon. The squadron finally touched down in Korea on 18 September 1950 and were flying their first Corsair F4U-5 strikes by 20 September. The squadron was later moved to Wonson, North Korea late October 1951 then onto Yonpo Airfield in North Korea as the United Nations’ forces continued their advance in the early winter of 1950. The squadron adopted the name “Devil Cats” and a new patch was designed by Roy Irwin, depicting a Devil Cat clutching a Two-Step serpent in its mouth on a red shield. After the Chinese counterattack in late November 1950, VMF-212 aircraft flew almost continuous close air support missions supporting the 1st Marine Division as they fought their way out of encirclement during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir while being stationed afloat aboard the USS Bataan (CVL-29). The squadron operated from the USS Bataan until 5 March 1951. VMF-212 moved to being land based at K3 Pohang, South Korea. The squadron left Korea in the spring or summer of 1951 and returned to Cherry Point NC. Those personnel who had extended enlistments transferred to VMF 214 at another Korean base. VMA-212’s F4U Corsairs were replaced by upgraded AU-1 Corsairs and F9F Panthers by late 1952. Among numerous other honors, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, The Legion of Merit, and received several Air Medals. In the late 50s he served as the Liaison Officer for the U.S. Forces in the Pacific to the Commanding General of the Chinese Air Force. For his service in that role he was made an honorary pilot in the Chinese Air Force. This rare document is included in the grouping. He was also honored by the U.S. Air Force with the Air Force Commendation Medal for his service as the Senior U.S. Marine Corps representative to the Air Force Air University. He retired after 30 years of service in the Marine Corps, and then worked for the City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office. Archive is very extensive but some of the highlights are: Named N.S. Meyer USMC Mameluke officer’s sword and scabbard, 5 aviator log books which covers his flights from 1940 to 1965 with very detailed and legible notes. 5 personnel files, thick as phone books, and 3 folders of maps, and numerous other folders containing maps, photos, clippings, and miscellaneous documents, numerous USMC and related books on aviation and Marine history, 300+ plus photos of Fletcher dating from the WWII era to his retirement, his Horstmann of Philadelphia private purchase dress blue uniform and trousers with ribbons and sterling EGA collar insignia. 2 sets of field grade officer mess dress uniforms, 1 with miniature medals, sterling N.S. Meyer EGA’s and miniature Navy and Chinese wings, an APH-5 painted flight helmet and O2 mask in the original bag, numerous small boxes of ribbons and miscellaneous insignia. This is a massive group and a rare opportunity to obtain a well documented group to a wartime decorated Marine aviator. Col. Fletcher passed away on July 9. 2001. He was buried in Oaklawn Cemetery, Boca Raton. CONDITION: Sword is beautiful with factory acid etch intact and deep but scabbard is highly corroded with only limited nickel remaining. Uniforms are from a smoke free home, and are in excellent condition with no moth nip or holes. Paper file binders and flight logs show age commensurate wear and yellowing, but are solid overall. Helmet is very good and oxygen mask is till supple and displayable. BRM. 4,000 - 6,000

2245 - US WWII P41 FATIGUE JACKET NAMED TO OLIVER J. TABORELLI, 6TH MARINE DIVISION, WOUNDED AT OKINAWA. World War II US Marine Corps P41 fatigue jacket with obvious field use named to Oliver J. Taborelli, who experienced the brutality of combat on Okinawa. Taborelli was born on June 7, 1924 and registered for the draft on June 30, 1942. By 1943, Taborelli is listed on the Marine Corps muster rolls where he is noted to have completed his training and was stationed in various locations throughout the United States. Afterwards, he was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 6th Marine Division and is listed as such on the muster rolls right before Operation Iceberg. Taborelli and the rest of the 6th Marine Division were baptized by fire during one of the bitterest battles of the Pacific War. The battle raged from April 1-June 22, 1945, initially starting with light resistance from the Japanese defenders, the campaign would later turn into a meatgrinder. Taborelli and his fellow Marines were constantly pushed hard while fighting the Japanese, especially at the Shuri Line, including a week of hard fighting at the infamous Sugarloaf Hill. After Sugarloaf Hill, the Division advanced through Naha, where they conducted a shore-to-shore amphibious assault and subsequent 10 day battle to capture the Oroku peninsula. The mop up operations continued until June 21, but the battle was cut short for Taborelli when he was wounded in the hip June 12, 1945 while assigned to Company I, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Marine Regiment. Although he is listed as killed on 12 June 1945 on some casualty indexes, Taborelli survived his wounds and returned to New Jersey. He passed away on May 12, 2013 at the age of 88. The harshness of war is reflected by Taborelli’s P41 jacket, which is in standard configuration, and according paperwork provided by the consigner, is stained with his blood from when he was wounded on June 12, 1945. The jacket is named to Taborelli twice in the collar. The jacket is complete with all of its original buttons with the exception of 1 button on the right cuff. CONDITION: USMC stamp on upper pocket has faded, left cuff button is dented. Jacket is heavily stained, with the largest area on the upper back with various smaller stains scattered throughout the jacket. Overall good, considering its history. The jacket is accompanied by a file of research regarding Taborelli’s service. JLD 500 - 1,000

The jacket is in standard P41 configuration with 1 upper and 2 lower pockets, with the upper pocket featuring the correct USMC stamp. No visible markings wit the exception of the initials “McH” inside the collar. Unlike many other P41 jackets, this example features a theater camouflaged splotch pattern which was applied using bleach. Very interesting, yet attractive camouflage application which is seldom encountered on similar gear and uniform pieces. CONDITION: The jacket retains 4 of its original USMC metal buttons, 1 on the center, 2 on the right sleeve, and 1 on the left sleeve. One of the center buttons was replaced by a generic USGI brown plastic button. The colors remain vibrant, with obvious fading in the bleached areas. USMC stamp also exhibits fading. Heavier wear on the button holes. There are 2 holes on each lapel, possibly indicating where EGAs were once pinned. A few frayed areas and scuffs with light stains. Overall good. A very nice example of a theater camouflaged P41 jacket which would enhance a USMC or theater camouflage collection. JLD 400 - 800

2247 - US WWII P41 FATIGUE JACKET NAMED TO CARL A. GOMOLL, BATTLE OF OKINAWA. World War II US Marine Corps P41 Fatigue Jacket named to Carl A. Gomoll. Born on July 26, 1923, Gomoll registered for the draft at age 19 in June 1942, entered the Marine Corps, and graduated boot camp in April 1943. Upon graduation, he was sent to MCB in San Diego, California for signal training. By October 1943, he was assigned to the 27th Replacement Battalion, and later the Fleet Marine Force Transient Center in January 1944. Afterwards, Gomoll was assigned to the 3rd Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion, FMF in July 1944 and later mustered into the Sixth 155mm Howitzer Battalion, in time to be present for the invasion and subsequent land battle on Okinawa. The first Americans went ashore on March 26, 1945 when the 77th Infantry Division landed at the Kerama Islands. The land battle was fought over 81 days starting on April 1, 1945. Gomoll and the men of the Sixth 155mm Howitzer Battalion went ashore on the islets to provide artillery cover for operations on Okinawa. He was active throughout the campaign, survived the war, and returned to civilian life. Carl Gomoll passed away on September 18, 1990.

GOMOLL” with red paint. CONDITION: The jacket exhibits scattered yellow-brown stains. USMC stamp exhibits slight fading. Complete with all original USMC donut buttons.

JLD 400 - 800 2248 - US WWII 4TH MARINE DIVISION UNIS MARKED P41 FATIGUE JACKET NAMED TO LT. CHARLES J. ADAMSSON, IWO JIMA. Excellent example of a UNIS stamped P41 fatigue jacket named to a Marine who landed at Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. Charles J. Adamsson first appears in US Marine Corps records in January 1943 where he is listed as a “PFC, Officer Candidate”. Adamsson would prove himself to be officer material and was commissioned as a second lieutenant of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division in July of 1943 where he is listed at Camp Pendleton. During World War II, the 23rd Marines distinguished themselves during the campaigns of Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. Adamsson, who is the only Marine with that name on the muster roles, is listed to have landed in the latter 3 campaigns while attached to the 23rd Marine Regiment. At Saipan, the 23rd Marines were assigned to blue beaches 1 and 2. Saipan proved to be a bloody battle, and servicemen there witnessed the largest banzai charge in the Pacific War. Weeks later, Adamsson and the men of the 23rd were fighting on Tinian, where they acted as the assault reserve landing on beach white 2. Tinian also proved to be a hard fought battle, but the success of the Marines meant that mainland Japan would now be in range of B-29 Bombers. After repeated success in their campaigns, the 23rd’s next task was to assist in the capture of Iwo Jima, which would prove to be a formidable task. Adamsson and his men were assigned to yellow beaches with 1/23 landing on yellow beach one and 2/23 landing on yellow beach 2, while 3/23 assault reserve. Marines had to dismount early and proceed on foot, as their amtracs were unable to do more than uselessly churn the infamous black ash sand and made no progress up the slopes on the beaches. Iwo proved to be a bloody battle, as the American victory at Iwo Jima was won with a terrible price. According to the Navy Department Library, “the 36-day assault resulted in more than 26,000 American casualties.”. Adamsson had survived the horrors of the Pacific War and returned to the United States where he is listed in the reserves until his retirement as a Captain in 1958. Adamsson’s P41 jacket survived the war, outlived the officer, and this simple herringbone jacket now carries his legacy. The jacket is in standard P41 configuration and with 1 upper and 2 lower pockets, with the upper pocket featuring the correct USMC stamp. The jacket is named on the reverse “C.J. ADAMSSON”. Below his name is a great UNIS marking which denotes: Lieutenant, Headquarters Company, Headquarters Battalion, 4th Marine Division. This was probably one of Adamsson’s earlier P41s. CONDITION: Very clean overall, retaining all of its original USMC donut buttons. USMC stamp and UNIS markings exhibit fading. Scattered Stains. Vibrant colors. Overall very good. The jacket is complete with a research file which details Adamsson’s WWII Service. JLD 500 - 1,000

2249 - LOT OF 2: US WWII UNIS MARKED P41 FATIGUE JACKET AND UNIS MARKED P41 FATIGUE PANTS. Lot consists of an unrelated set of World War II US Marine Corps P41 fatigues, consisting of a jacket and trousers which are both UNIS marked to the 4th Marine Division. (A) Modified P41 fatigue jacket which was cut short just below the last button. These alterations are noticed on other P41 jackets and were crafted by the Marines in order for the jacket to be less weight and cooler when wearing. The jacket features the upper pocket with standard USMC stamp and a 4 USMC donut button center. Ghosting is evident where the upper portion of the lower pockets were stitched. The alteration is quite interesting, but the reverse of the jacket is even better and features 4th Marine Division UNIS markings. The markings denote a Corporal of Easy Company, 4th Medical Battalion, 4th Marine Division. There are initials written on the inside collar. CONDITION: The jacket exhibits its nice original green color with a few scattered stains. The UNIS marking exhibits fading but remains legible. USMC stamp also exhibits slight fading. Overall very good. (B) WWII USMC P41 Trousers in standard P41 configuration with 2 side and 2 back pockets. Great markings including laundry numbers stamped around the waist and 4th Marine Division UNIS markings which are stamped on both of the back pockets. The markings denote a Sergeant of Headquarters Company, 4th Pioneer Battalion, 4th Marine Division.

2250 - US WWII MODIFIED THIRD PATTERN CAMOUFLAGE PARAMARINE JUMP SMOCK. Rare World War II US Marine Corps 3rd Pattern Jump Smock which was modified into a jacket. The 3rd pattern “Step-in” smock, was similarly designed based off of the early German fallschirmjager smock and were constructed of double-sided herringbone twill with 2 camouflage patterns. One side is a green “jungle” pattern camouflage on the other side is a tan “beach” pattern camouflage on the reverse. Configured in the “step-in” style, the smocks featured button snaps which ran 3/4 the length of the front. These smocks feature a large pocket on either side of the back, accessible by a 3-snap flap on the “jungle” side and a set of Talon marked zippers on the “beach” side, as well as 2 large button snap pockets on either side of the torso. This example has been theater modified into a combat jacket, as evidenced by the removal of the lower portion of the smock. The Paramarines were disbanded in 1944 and the personnel were transferred to other units, however it was not uncommon for Paramarines to retain some of their equipment and modify it for use in their new assignments. With the exception of the removal of the lower portion, the jacket is in the standard configuration of the smock, featuring the correct snap enclosures, pockets, and material. This example also appears to have never had the elbow pads added. CONDITION: The jacket exhibits vibrant colors with typical areas of fading, especially on the sleeves. There are several field repairs, including a 2 - 3/4” repair which removed the top snap on the left side, and a 4” repair on the right arm. 2 small holes on the right shoulder. All snaps and zippers function properly. Overall very good. This is an excellent example of a rare smock that was modified in the field. JLD 800 - 1,200

2252 - US WWII NAMED NAVY CORPSMAN GROUPING WITH PHOTOS AND JAPANESE BRINGBACK HELMET. Small but significant named World War II US Navy Corpsman grouping named to Wallace H. Fritsch, who served on Peleliu during World War II. Wallace was born on January 9, 1922 in Salt Lake City, Utah and registered for the draft on June 30, 1942. Wallace would later become a crucial part of the US Navy, and serve as a Corpsman in the Pacific Theater. He would spend most of his 26 months overseas on the Island of Peleliu, which was fought over by the United States and Imperial Japan from September 15-November 27, 1944. The battle, which was codenamed Operation Stalemate II, was part of a larger offensive campaign known as Operation Forager, that was waged from June-November 1944. The Battle for Peleliu was controversial for the US because of the island’s insignificant strategic value and especially due to the high casualty rate, which exceeded all other amphibious operations during the Pacific War. After the battle, one of Wallace’s jobs was to command Japanese POWs to bury the dead, which is stated in a singed letter from his grandson. According to the letter, Wallace did not leave the island after 2 years for R&R, as he chose to stay and help wounded soldiers and assist with Marine operations on the island. Wallace’s service is mentioned in a variety of muster rolls and newspaper scans which are provided with this group. The grouping consists of Wallace’s US Navy blue jumper which is named to him on the label on the neck. The jumper is relatively plain with the exception of his rate and ruptured duck. Wallace brought home a souvenir Type 90 helmet which is missing the star and liner. There is kanji applied with white paint on the interior brim. Quite an interesting relic that Wallace brought home from his time on Peleliu. There are also 2 photos of Wallace standing outside of a shelter in his Navy fatigues. The photos are not inscribed but these were most likely taken on Peleliu. CONDITION: The Navy jumper is excellent. Name tag is slightly faded with Wallace’s name still legible. The helmet retains some of its original paint with scattered scratches, scuffs, and chips. Surface rust is evident on the interior. Despite being incomplete, the helmet has a fantastic look and is especially desirable due to its provenance. it can only be assumed that Wallace salvaged this helmet before continuing to oversee the burials he was in charge of. Overall good. A very nice group with great provenance. JLD 400 - 800

2253 - US WWII EXTENSIVE USMC FATIGUE, SEABAG, PHOTO ALBUM, AND GEAR GROUPING NAMED TO RALPH H. GOEHRING, 1ST MARINE DIVISION. Extensive World War II US Marine Corps Uniform, gear, and ephemera grouping named to Ralph Warren Goehring, who served with the 1st Marine Division during World War II. Goehring was born on March 26, 1926 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and joined the Marine Corps in 1944. After graduating boot camp, he was assigned to the 1st Marine Division, which accumulated an impressive record in the early years of WWII. The Division was once again called into action, their objective would be to defeat Japanese forces defending the island of Okinawa with the help of 10th Army. Goehring is marked on the Marine Corps muster rolls as “participated in the landing and assault against enemy Japanese Forces, on Okinawa”. The nickname “typhoon of steel”, is used to refer to the battle and the fierce fighting which took place between April1-June 22, 1945. Okinawa was critical victory for the United States, as the island provided strategic significance for striking mainland Japan. Goehring survived the battle and participated in the Occupation of China during 1946 with the rest of the 1st Marine Division. His service is reflected through his grouping of memorabilia which includes his P41 fatigue jacket and trousers, both of which are in standard P41 configuration, and are named to Goehring. The jacket is named on the inside collar and the trousers are named in several areas including the rear pockets and waistline. The group also includes 6 khaki USMC shirts, all of which are named in different areas, and one is TAC marked. Goehring also kept his duffle bag, which is named to him and features an interesting camouflaged bottom and UNIS marking. Some smalls include his named canteen cover, watch, and dog tags with partial silencers contained on a wire chain. One of the more interesting pieces of the lot is a meat and noodles C ration can with a note from Goehring which states it was used on Okinawa. The ephemera of the lot includes a box of souvenirs, mostly currency, among other pieces of ephemera which were gathered during the occupation of China. Some of the ephemera is named to his brother Jack Goehring, who was an AA officer in the CBI theater. Lastly, there is an extensive photo album which documents Goehring’s service. Over half of the album contains photos which depict the occupation of China, while the other portion contains photos related to Okinawa. Some subject matter includes, battle scenes, Marines in training as well as action, group shots of Ralph and the Goehirng brothers in uniform, cemeteries, dead Japanese soldiers, civilians, scenes in China, Chinese tanks, equipment, and more. The album also contains another set of his dog tags as well as other pieces of 1st Marine Division ephemera. There is also a fold out photo grid which provides an aerial view of Naha marked “SECRET-REDUCED TO RESTRICTED IN COMBAT AREA”. CONDITION: The jacket and trousers exhibit stains and wear consistent with fatigues worn in a combat zone. Gear also exhibits expected wear. Some shirts are cleaner than others, with some exhibiting heavy stains. The ephemera exhibits blemishes typical of old paper including edge wear, creases, tears, etc. The photo album is fragile and is falling apart, it will either need to be restored or contents moved to a new album. Overall good. This is a great late WWII USMC grouping. JLD 800 - 1,200

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1911 Serial No. C141921 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Colt Government Model 1911A1 semi automatic pistol with provenance. The pistol was ordered by Henry C. Poulter on August 13, 1937 which is evidenced by a paper receipt that accompanies this pistol. According to records, Poulter enlisted in 1933 and served in the Navy through World War II. At the time the gun was ordered in 1937, Poulter was a stationed on the USS Reina Mercedes, a ship with an interesting history in both the Spanish and United States Navy. During the Spanish–American War, the Reina Mercedes served as a significant defensive element as part of the Spanish defenses against the American blockade of Santiago harbor. After the Spanish fleet was destroyed in the Naval battle of Santiago, the Spanish Navy scuttled the Reina Mercedes and made her into a blockship as an obstacle at the entrance of the harbor at Santiago de Cuba. The United States captured the Reina Mercedes when the Spanish defenses at Santiago de Cuba surrendered. The ship had been severally damaged during her time with the Spanish navy. The damages included at least three 13” shells from the USS Massachusetts and two 12” hits from the USS Texas when being sunk as a blockship, The ship also incurred significant damage from earlier bombardments. Nevertheless, the United States decided to salvage the ship and the Reina Mercedes became a part of the US Navy. She served as the station ship at Annapolis, Maryland, quarters for enlisted personnel assigned to the Naval Academy, as the headquarters for the Naval Academy’s sailing activities, and lookout and harbor control center throughout her career as a US Navy vessel until being sold for scrap in 1957.

Manufacturer: Smith-Corona Model: 1903A3 National Match Serial No. 4761620 Caliber/Bore: .30-06 Springfield Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Hoping to garner more participation with the Camp Perry Match Rifle Competition by Military, National Guard, ROTC, and civilian competitors, the Army Ordnance Corps were proposed to develop a new rifle which was comparable in both accuracy and operation to the Pre-World War II Model 1903A1 National Match rifles, as well as adhere to the NRA definition and rules pertaining to a match rifle. Having consumed the stock of 1903A1 National Match rifles due to World War II, Springfield selected new and unfired 1903A3 rifles manufactured by Remington and Smith-Corona. Approximately 140 of these rifles were produced, with production terminating when inspection by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy indicated that the rifles stood little chance of having the performance that was desired. Subsequently, few were ever issued and most were sold through the Civilian Marksmanship Program. This example is stamped “U.S. / SMITH-CORONA / MODEL 03-A3” above the serial number over the chamber, with “SC / (Flaming Ordnance Bomb) / 8 45” stamped on the barrel to the rear of the front sight. Left side of stock bears a crossed cannons ordnance stamp and Smith-Corona “FJA” inspector stamp, followed by Springfield Armory “SA” within a rectangle rework stamp. Bottom of stock bears proper Smith-Corona proofs with an encircled “P” firing proof at the wrist. Bolt is properly replaced with a polished nickel steel bolt, with additional arsenal modifications including a replacement forged and machine serrated buttplate, the installation of a Redfield Olympic aperture rear sight, as well as adjustment of the trigger pull to pre-war National Match spec of #3 - 1/2. Major metal components are parkerized, with the front sight, rear sight, and bolt cocking piece being blued. Receiver is fitted with proper 03-A3 straight grip stock and handguard. Rifle is accompanied by its original and matching box that exhibits the correct Federal Stock Number “1005-3172478” as well as a matching handwritten serial number. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with metal components retaining nearly all of their Springfield Armory reapplied finish, exhibiting some minor superficial marks from storage and handling. Front sight band and barrel (towards muzzle) exhibit some silvering and discoloration. Mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well defined 4-groove rifling throughout. Stock exhibits a few dings and minor marks from storage and handling, but is otherwise fine. Box shows some exterior wear and staining, but is otherwise very good. An exceptional example of an extremely scarce variation for the discerning 1903 collector. MLW 3,000 - 5,000

2301 - POST-WWII BRITISH PARATROOPER’S 2ND PATTERN DENISON SMOCK. Originally issued a grey/green cotton duck smock patterned after fallschirmjager smocks, British airborne troops did not sport a camouflage patterned smock until late in 1941, when the camouflage “Denison” smock was introduced. Like other airborne smocks, the Denison smock was intended to be worn over the battle dress uniform with equipment worn on the exterior of the smock. The smock was developed in several patterns and due to the success of the design its wear was continued into the postwar period. This example is stamped “WOD / (Broad Arrow) / 371” on the bottom of the interior back and is devoid of any other markings. The smock falls into the configuration of post-War Denison smocks: a 3-quarter length, mid-weight cotton twill construction smock with a brush stroke camouflage pattern featuring assorted shades of brown, tan, and green. The front has a zipper closure on the front measuring approximately 14” in length, beginning mid-chest and ending at the wool lined, stand up collar. The smock also features 2 vertical rows of 3 snaps in between the lower pockets. There are 4 pockets, 2 on the chest and 2 on the forward waist, all scallop tipped with snap enclosures. There are snaps at each hip to adjust the fit. Vertical slash pockets are located in the interior chest at either side of the front zipper closure. Armpits have 6 stitched eyelet ventilation holes. No evidence of application of knit cuffs. CONDITION: The smock exhibits heavy fading and the colors have mostly washed out to a light tan. All snaps function properly and both epaulette buttons are in place. Fraying around the edges. Scattered period repairs and stains. Overall good. JLD 500 - 1,000

Manufacturer: German Model: Belt buckle pistol Serial No. RVA44A2 Caliber/Bore: .22 caliber Barrel Length: 1 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Originally thought of Louis Marquis while in a World War I POW camp. Marquis would refine his Koppelschloss design and in 1943 received an order for 5 of these belt buckle pistols for Himmer’s SS. The 5 original examples were SS marked and exhibited SS eagles on the belt plate. This example is a nice fantasy piece German Koppelschloss belt buckle pistol that consists of a single flip-up block featuring four barrels. Intended for the user to press a locking lever at the bottom of the buckle which releases the spring-loaded barrel block, flips up the belt plate, and subsequently allows the user to fire each barrel via its own independent trigger. The belt plate exhibits a silver eagle holding a wreathed swastika that is retained by 2 brass wires on the rear of the plate. The bottom bears an faux “RVA” manufacturer code, followed by a waffenamt and “44A2”. Metal components exhibit a partially blue finish, with the balance exhibiting a gray and brown patina. Many examples of these belt buckle pistols have been fabricated since the conclusion of World War II, with observed examples all exhibiting inconsistencies between one another. It is the opinion of the cataloger that all besides the previously noted 5 are spurious examples. CONDITION: Metal components retain fair to good amounts of their blue finish, having been artificially aged, exhibiting a mixture of gray and brown patinas overall, and showing a few scattered spots of surface oxidation. Action operates properly. A nice German World War II fantasy piece, that makes for an excellent conversation starter. MLW 4,000 - 6,000

Around 1943, these optics were used on anti-ship and anti-aircraft trio of 105mm guns installed on cruisers, destroyers, and battleships of the Kriegsmarine during World War II. The optic retains its original Kriegsmarine spec label with correct Carl Zeiss “blc” marking, “10x7” magnification marking, and serial numbered “131147”. The model “B.Z. schr. EC/1A” is indicated on the spec label. These optics came in sets of 2, a left and right optic, which would be mounted on either side of the gun. Model “C1A” indicates that this optic would be placed on the right side as their counterpart would be marked with an “L” (C1AL) which stands for “Links” (left), that would indicate placement on the left side of the gun. Supposedly only 150 of these sets were produced, and this example is numbers “Nr.122”. The optic has been built with an extremely sturdy structure, in anodized aluminum with brass mounts, which was designed to protect the lenses, prisms, and related mechanisms inside it from the strong vibrations derived from the recoil of the guns, as well as protection from the elements of the open sea. The optic features a variety of options including “Augenabstand” (Pupillary distance) which are activated by turning the knob at the bottom right. The two levers placed at the ends of the eyepieces independently activate the insertion of the two relative reticles.

Overall fair. An honest example of desirable WWII Kriegsmarine optics which would be worthy of restoration or display. JLD 3,000 - 5,000 310

2450 - JAPANESE WWII BATTLE DAMAGED HELMET WITH FOLIAGE WIRE AND LINER. Great example of a World War II Japanese Type 90 helmet with battle damage and foliage wire. The helmet shell exhibits what is possibly a bullet strike or artillery damage on the back right side as well as damage on the left side rim. The hole on the right side measures approximately 1” with the lower portion of the metal shell pushed inward towards the liner, while the damage to the rim of the shell is pushed outward, possibly an entrance and exit wound. The angle could make sense for a projectile that was shot from above the helmet at an angle. The helmet retains its original liner which exhibits patina consistent with the shell and appears to have been attached to the helmet since it was originally assembled. The liner was not damaged by the projectile, however the portion of metal from the shell which was pushed inward has indented the liner and a rust stained blemish was formed due to the metal being pushed up against the liner for quite some time. The “pillows” behind the three leather liner tongues do not retain their padding. Canvas chinstrap is also present and exhibits similar patina to the helmet and liner. The helmet also retains its original foliage wire, which is twisted in place and protrudes from the holes on the top of the helmet. Original star is present. CONDITION: The helmet retains most of its original tan and green paint with scattered scuffs and blemishes. Surface rust is exhibited in some areas, especially around the damage. Leather components of the liner are stiff, canvas chinstrap is frayed in areas. Overall good. A nice example of a battle damaged Japanese helmet, which are seldom encountered with the liner.

Information states that some of the kanji was translated: “Ichinosawa Butai Imano tai” and the owner’s name “Sekiguchi Shohei”. The helmet cover retains its original padding and tie strings. The helmet features its wartime tan camouflage paint with star affixed to the front. The star and rivets have been painted gold. There is a tan paint line which wraps around the entire helmet. Helmet is stamped with an “S” inside a diamond on the interior rim. The liner is relatively clean and 2 of the 3 pillows behind the leather liner tongues retain their padding. Canvas liner tie is undone and the canvas chinstrap is present. CONDITION: The cover exhibits various blemishes on the exterior and interior. There are black spots on the exterior as well as rust stains and dark brown spots on the lining of the cover. The helmet retains most of its wartime paint and exhibits scattered areas of surface rust and paint loss. There is an obvious area of pitting around the interior rim as well as scattered areas of pitting around the rest of the interior rim. The liner remains pliable and stiff in others. Canvas chinstrap exhibits areas of fraying. Overall very good. A very nice example of a WWII Japanese helmet and cover.

The group was originally purchased from the estate of James K. Cummings during 1993 in Orange County California. Cummings served in Company B, 1st Battalion, 29th Regiment, 6th Marine Division from the Division’s activation through the occupation of China. The battle of Okinawa needs no introduction, and the 6th Marine Division’s baptism by fire was one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War. According to paperwork which accompanies this group, these Japanese items were part of a once larger group of Cummings’ military items which were originally purchased from his estate sale. The group has unfortunately since been split up and this group includes: (A) Civilian Japanese helmet which was converted for Army use. The helmet features its original tan camouflage paint, star, and is complete with its original liner. Interestingly, the helmet is marked with kanji and troop numbered on the interior rim. The kanji was translated and reads “No. 130 troop transport”. CONDITION: Helmet retains most of its original wartime paint. Leather liner is pliable and exhibits scattered stains. The pillows behind the three leather liner tongues do not retain their padding. Overall very good. (B) Japanese WWII tropical pith helmet. Clear markings on the interior. CONDITION: Fragile. Missing Sweatband. Chinstrap is delicate. Scattered holes around the rim where bamboo padding is falling out. Overall fair. (C) Japanese Army Bugle. No markings.

Manufacturer: Parker-Hale Model: M85 Serial No. 00342F Caliber/Bore: .308 Winchester Barrel Length: 24 - 1/2” FFL Status: Modern The Parker Hale sniper rifle was the runner up to the Accuracy International L96 in the British Army sniper trails in the mid-80s, with the Parker Hale narrowly losing, primarily as a result of the L96 having an early variant of what would become the chassis system, while the M85 was still using a more traditional stock. After the trials, Parker Hale sold the manufacturing license to Gibbs Rifle Company, and sold their stock of rifles. Despite the L96’s success, there were several military and police units that acquired the M85 for independent use. This example is equipped with the correct fixed front sight, folding rear sight under the specially made Parker Hale marked single piece scope mount, and McMillan style palm swell stock with spacers at rear.

Previous owner has affixed a small piece of felt under the ejection port, presumably to prevent rubbing. Some crude marks from manufacturing visible on receiver, but based on distension from stamping of model designation, are unlikely to be a refinish. White paint has been used to accentuate serial numbers. Glass is clear. This is a really lovely example of a true British sniper rifle. EMW 5,000 - 8,000

3150 - EARLY COLT 601 AR-15 BAYONET WITH USM8A1 SCABBARD. Blade Length: 7” Overall Length: 12” Very nice example of a Colt Model 601 Bayonet. In the early 1960s, Colt obtained the rights to the AR-15 rifle from Armalite in order to attempt to secure a military contract for the rifle. Military specifications required that the rifle be manufactured to accommodate a bayonet and the M4 bayonet was considered for adaption, but was found to be unsuitable. Therefore, these early AR-15 bayonets are quite rare. The bayonet features a parkerized steel 7” spearpoint blade with a 3 1/2” double edge. The face of the blade is marked “COLT’S PT.FA.MFG, CO. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.” The blade is followed by a parkerized steel crossguard which accommodates the bayonet lug which is mounted above the green painted, grooved, hard plastic grip. The bayonet is housed in an M8A1 scabbard marked “USM8A1 / T.H.B.” for “The Pennsylvania Working Home (for the Blind), later renamed, “The Working Blind in Philadelphia, Pa.”. CONDITION: The blade retains most of its original parkerized finish with scabbard wear evident. Green plastic guard exhibits handling wear, and the pommel has lost most of its black paint.

Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition, and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms. Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.

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.

•

Any outstanding balance will be auto charged to the credit card on file. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks, certified checks, wire transfers, money orders, and cash. • CREDIT CARD – If a credit card is used as any form of total payment, invoice will reflect a 3% surcharge on the entire invoice. This charge is automatically added but will be discounted if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. MORPHY’s reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used. • CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. Make checks payable to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC. MORPHY’S reserves the right to hold items paid for by personal or company check until said check clears (14 days). MORPHY’S has the right to hold all checks over $2,000. Customers who have an established successful buying history with MORPHY’S may be exempt from this requirement. 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. 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. 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 and for paying all shipping costs, customs and duties on the items. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. 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 of the sign, oversized vases (guideline – larger than fit in a 20” x

bidder

Terms & Conditions 20” x 40” box), high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind. • For any buyers who wish to arrange for their own shipping, MORPHY’S must be notified at least seven (7) days prior to arrival of the shipping company name, arrival date and time. Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays). Buyers must arrange weekend pickups in advance with MORPHY’S staff, and additional charges may be necessary for overtime. All 3rd party shippers must arrive with a copy of the invoice. • STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a daily storage fee of $5/ day per regular sized item or $10/day per oversized item for any items awaiting pickup for more than 45 days following the invoice date. Buyer authorizes the MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer.
