Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether or not you read or understand said terms. The Terms in writing contained herein are subject to change without notice and bidder agrees that the most recently published Terms of Sale as published or amended on the website at the beginning of the auction shall apply.

CONDITION OF ITEMS

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with MORPHY’S in request for additional information regarding the items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner.

To view the terms and conditions for our Automobile Auctions, please go to: www.morphyauctions.com/autoterms FIREARMS – All firearms transfers will be in strict accordance with all International, Federal, State and local laws. Be sure to check your country, state and local laws before bidding. If you are unable to import, purchase or own a firearm according to your residency laws,

do not bid on these items. If you bid and find out later you cannot legally own/accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract that the buyer must pay. • Condition of Firearms and Related Items o Condition is always a subjective evaluation. Final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of items. It is not possible to adequately describe in text or photos an antique or collectible item, and many modern items, that have seen use and show wear. MORPHY’S’s goal at all times is to be as fair and honest in our catalog descriptions. MORPHY’S recommends that you personally inspect all items, or enlist a trusted professional to do so for you. o MORPHY’S will only consider a refund when there is a major description discrepancy or authenticity issue that has a major effect on value. Examples that apply are major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications. o MORPHY’S will not refund sales with buyers that have disputes regarding a firearm’s bore condition. o If the discrepancy is less than major, MORPHY’S will not under any circumstance provide a refund. This means that if you are purchasing an item and find undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fits issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, and other similar differences, it will not qualify for refund consideration. o Should the buyer have a major dispute regarding an item, the buyer must notify MORPHY’S within three (3) days of receipt of the item to receive consideration. MORPHY’S in its sole discretion may provide refunds for major description discrepancies or authenticity issues. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. o There will be no options for refunds of any type beyond 35 calendar days from the auction date. o Paying late and thus receiving items late will not change the limitation on the dates above for refund consideration. MORPHY’S ships items in order of payment. o These terms are available only to the original buyer of record. All sales are final. • Firearms Catalog Designations o A: antique o M: modern (post 1898), Federal Firearms License (FFL) requirements apply o C: curio & relic eligible o N: National Firearms Act / Title II Gun Control Act of 1968 (Class III SOT) requirements apply o ^:Modern firearm imported from Canada, will have an unassuming marking that contains at least “BV LYNDEN WA” and any of the following not already marked on the firearm: serial number, caliber, country of manufacture, manufacturer name and model.

Dealers and Individuals that bid on and win items own the items and are fully responsible for payment within terms regardless of whether the FBI / PICS approves their taking physical possession of the items. MORPHY’S will not cancel the sale due to disapproval for any reason. o If you are appealing a “Denied” decision, we will hold the firearm only if you pay in full. o Licensed bidders, i.e. Federal Firearms licensees or Curio & Relics license holders must present a current signed copy of their license. C&R licensee purchases must conform to the BATF C&R requirements. • National Firearms Act (NFA) Class 3 Weapons Processing o Dealers: Buyer must provide MORPHY’S with a copy of their active FFL and SOT license.

and timeline information. • Long guns will only be sold to persons 18 years of age, or older. Handguns will only be sold to those persons 21 years of age, or older. Dealers are bound by these minimum age requirements. • Since all firearms sold are “collectible” items, MORPHY’S does not test the safety or warrant functionality of these firearms. All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to shooting. • MORPHY’S reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer. GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective purchasers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential purchasers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential purchaser’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All purchasers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www. morphyauctions.com. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee and online bids placed through www.morphyauctions.com will be auto charged to the credit card entered 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Bidsquare, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge may be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. If a credit card has been provided to one of the online bidding platforms, MORPHY’S reserves the right to use and charge the credit card if the winning bidder has not paid via another method by the 7 day term in Payment Terms below. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally. • BID RESULTS – MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, packing and handling, shipping, insurance, and

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 purchaser 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 purchaser. 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 to locations that can accept shipments will be made available as an added courtesy and at an additional cost. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. All applicable charges will be applied to the invoice. Shipping will be based on actual costs via FedEx, USPS, or other carriers required based upon the contents of the shipment. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the items on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Standard items packed internally by MORPHY’s will ship seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received. Oversize and breakable items, which will appear on a separate line of the invoice, will ship based upon a date our shipper partner will provide to the purchaser after payment and pickup of the items. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. Again, 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 purchaser. 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 all items to the buyer at the listed address via FedEx or other carriers, FOB Denver, Pennsylvania or FOB Las Vegas, NV 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 up to $1,000 for every package. If your package is valued at >$10,000 we will also automatically add “Additional Insurance”, which you can decline by contacting us. If you wish to arrange for “Additional Insurance” for packages valued between $1,000 and $10,000 please contact us prior to payment and we can quote this additional insurance amount for you. Oversize and breakable items shipments include full insurance. 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 has the capability to ship to international bidders. 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. All international bidders are responsible for knowing their country’s laws on importing items and for paying all customs and duties on the items. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of OVERSIZE AND BREAKABLE ITEMS – Should bidders choose to use a shipper other than MORPHY’S, the bidder MUST arrange and pay for 3rd party shipping. 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”

JASON ROSELIUS COLLECTION Jason Roselius was destined to possess an appreciation of antiques and collectables. His 104 year old grandmother instilled in her family to see the beauty, uniqueness, and workmanship of the past. Jason acquired the love of history and antiques during his life, which was taken too soon. 48 year old Jason Roselius drowned January 4, 2018, attempting to save his two Labrador retrievers from an icy pond on his ranch outside of Guthrie, Oklahoma. This was an unselfish act that would surprise no one who knew him. Jason was raised in Panhandle, Texas. His love and respect of hunting and guns were big parts of his youth in this small town. At the age of 12 he entered a contest to sell subscriptions for a hunting magazine and earned the grand prize of a Winchester 30/30 lever action rifle. At 14 years old, he was the youngest in the company of experienced shooters to take first place in an area skeet shoot with an Ithaca 12 gauge over and under. This was just the beginning for Jason’s appreciation of firearms. He received his law degree from the University of Oklahoma School of Law in 1995. Jason was a member of the Oklahoma and Arkansas Bar Associations, as well as being admitted to practice before the US Court of Appeals. He led and won numerous record breaking state and national class action law suits involving serious personal injuries and wrongful deaths. Many of these cases involved complex and novel theories of law. The state resulted in what was one of the largest single-death settlements in Texas history. Jason will be remembered for his humility and the joy he found in helping others. In addition to practicing law, Jason was a successful businessman and entrepreneur. He was instrumental in the advancement of ArcView where he was currently creating a public round table. He was co-founder of The Rosebud Group which supports cannabis entrepreneurs by connecting them with potential investors and offering counsel on legal and regulatory affairs. Through the Rosebud Group, Jason used his talents, connections, and resources to bring the largest cannabis names together to solidify opportunities in the evolving industry. A passionate outdoorsman with an adventurous spirit, Jason loved hunting deer, wild hogs, and elk in New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. He enjoyed several South Dakota pheasant hunts. He was passionate about bass fishing in Arkansas and Oklahoma, stream fishing in Colorado and New Mexico, and fishing the beautiful waters of Alaska. He also enjoyed paddle boarding, surfing and skiing. Jason constantly pursued knowledge and loved to learn. He was an avid reader with a passion for history. He had a remarkable gift of bringing out the best in everyone around him. He will forever be remembered for his quiet strength, compassion, strong character, and defending those who needed him most, even his dogs. His highest priority in life was time spent loving and protecting his children, the greatest joys of his life.

One of Jason’s most prized possessions was the Fox shotgun which traveled with Teddy Roosevelt on African Safaris, along with his rifle, Big Medicine. Jason has loaned the gun to the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum in Cody, Wyoming for others to enjoy. In the future, it will be transferred to the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas, which is the home of West Texas A&M University, Jason’s alma mater. Jason acquired the beautiful collection of guns that are in the auction from Julia’s in 2009. He proudly displayed them in his law office in historical Guthrie, Oklahoma, so that others could enjoy the beauty, uniqueness, and workmanship of the history each one represents.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good, original finish with a soft brown patina on exposed sheet metal parts with more of a gray patina on the grip frame.

3 - (N) ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS INCREDIBLY SOUGHT AFTER GERMAN FG-42 2ND MODEL MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: Germany Model: FG42 Serial No. 03930-SS Caliber/Bore: 7.92×57mm Mauser Barrel Length: 20” FFL Status: NFA Absolutely fabulous German FG 42 machine gun Type G (2nd Model with 90 degree hand grip). This shoulder fired select-fire machine gun utilizes the full power 8mm Mauser cartridge and includes one original 20 round magazine marked only with a “4” below the front attachment tab. Also included is an original Nazi ZF4 scope marked “ddx” (Voigtlander & Sohn) with unmarked reproduction mount and rings. In addition to the original spike type bayonet, a second spike bayonet is also included, as well as a sling hook and a Val Forgett 1973 published technical manual for the FG42. Production of the earliest FG-42’s occurred in 1942 with the final prototype, the early Type C Model being presented to Hitler by Hermann Goring as a Christmas present. Subsequently, Hitler decreed that the Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 should be issued to the paratroopers. Specifications demanded a light, but robust automatic weapon, capable of reliable, accurate, long-range fire. 14

www.MorphyAuctions.com | October 30, 2018

There was an evolution of models culminating in this G Model offered here. These guns are exceedingly comfortable to shoot, with the muzzle break doing its job well. Heinrich Krieghoff of Suhl with code (fzs) made most of the FG-42 type weapons which totaled, including all models, fewer than 7,500 units. Few were brought back to the U.S. during and after WW2, and even fewer made it into the National Firearms Act registry as transferable to individuals. This particular specimen was at one time deactivated by cutting the rear end of the receiver in two at a spot which is underneath the wooden buttstock. The two pieces were subsequently very professionally welded back together and re-manufactured as a full transferable machine gun. The welding work is superior and one can only discern some slight discoloration to the metal where it occurred. Even this slight blemish is totally concealed when the buttstock is in place and does not affect the serviceability in any way. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent with well over 95% original finish with some loss of finish to at the high edges. Lightweight receiver exhibits its original gray anodized factory finish with this same finish on the metal of the hand grip assembly where the black enamel finish has been lost. Trigger is a pleasing brown with some thinning of finish due to use. Bakelight hand grip is exceptionally fine and of the most attractive rich brown color. Bipod retains about 98% of its original black enamel finish. Barrel, rear sight post, and muzzle break retention latch retain nearly all of their lustrous deep blue finish. Spike bayonet extremely fine. Underneath buttstock assembly, between 5” – 6” forward of buffer there is a darker area of finish where this gun was expertly reconstituted as noted above. It is discernible that this is where the work was done due to the difference in the color of the finish but otherwise the workmanship is of the highest order. Laminated wood buttstock is extremely fine and has some small dings and handling marks with a 1” long gouge on right side and a small chip out of the toe. Not really noticeable at first look. Wood hand guard is near excellent with only the slightest handling marks and a tiny ding on the left side. Magazine is extremely fine. Scope also extremely fine with clear optics. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS FULLY TRANSFERABLE. Est $150,000 to $200,000 – JWK 18-48 150,000 - 175,000

4 - (N) SUPERB AND ICONIC GERMAN WW2 MAUSER MANUFACTURED MG 42 MACHINE GUN ON LAFETTE MOUNT (CURIO & RELIC) Manufacturer: Mauser-Werke Berlin-Borsigwalde Model: MG-42 Serial No. 1599d Caliber/Bore: 8x57mm Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: NFA Absolutely stunning condition Mauser manufactured MG42 machine gun marked “D.F.” and “ar” which indicates 1944 manufacture by Mauser. Other Nazi proof marks in evidence are “bpr” (Grossfuss) on shroud, “cos” (Eickhorn) on top cover, and “ar” on roller lock frame, “dfb” (Maget) on un-numbered barrel, with Nazi proofs on other many other parts including, but not limited to bipod, feed tray, handgrip, buffer, and rear sight. Bolt has had the number scrubbed from the head and body with “ghj” prrof and is likely post-war with anti-bolt bounce assembly within. Feed tray is numbered “8909j”. Butt is a mint condition rich brown postwar replacement with added proofmarks. Anti-aircraft flip-up post not fitted to rear sight. Original WW2 vintage leather sling included, as well as highly desirable and early (1942) original Nazi manufactured “fsu” marked WW2 tripod. Also included is redacted copy of amnesty registration form. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent as refinished in true to original lustrous deep blue with some light scratches visible under the blue. Muzzle, bipod, feed tray, handgrip, buffer, and buffer cup do not appear to be refinished. Top cover and buffer cup exhibit more of a dull blue finish. Buttstock is superbly attractive. Dark brown/black grips near excellent with some light handling marks. Sling very strong, supple and serviceable. Tripod retains about 50% of its original panzer Gray paint with scattered light corrosion at exposed areas. Bore of gun is near excellent. Bolt is also near excellent with minty bolt face and extractor. Mechanics are crisp. This is a fully-automatic only machine gun. Absolutely stunning specimen in fantastic condition. Refinish work may well be vintage from the period as it is that faithful to the original. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO & RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 18-61 35,000 - 55,000 16

Visible numbers appear matching on shroud, top cover “bpr” (Grossfuss), receiver, and buffer. Feed tray exhibits both original “4228” and renumber “1379” on left side. Handgrip is numbered “21”. Extremely rare and desirable steel-capped toe and heel buttstock and buffer cup are number 2938 with exquisite eagle over “63” on left side indicating Waffenwerke Brunn manufacture. Three original Nazi marked barrels are included, none of which match gun’s SN. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near extremely fine refinish over very light pitting. Buffer also refinished but not buttstock hardware. Bakelite butt has some small dings and handling marks but is one of the best ever encountered. Bores of all three barrels are near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt appears to be an un-numbered armorers replacement and is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. An incredibly attractive MG-34 that, with the exception of the butt, appears matching unless one gets right in close and personal. A great gun for the WW2 German military collector, and a gun that is great fun to shoot at the range as well. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO & RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 18-107 18,000 - 25,000

6 - (N) FANTASTIC AND EXTRAORDINARILY RARE GERMAN WW1 MG 08/15 MAXIM MACHINE GUN RETROFITTED DURING WEIMAR ERA WITH SPECIAL FEED BLOCK EQUIPPED TO MG 34 OR CLOTH BELTS (CURIO AND RELIC) Manufacturer: Nurnberg Model: Maxim 08/15 Serial No. 7650 Caliber/Bore: 7.92x57mm Barrel Length: 29” FFL Status: NFA Maschinen Fabrik Augsburg – Nurnberg “MAN” manufactured 1917 dated Maxim 08/15 machine gun with matching parts throughout, including but not limited to the feed block, bolt, barrel, drum hanger stock . Visible numbers match everywhere. “EWD” marking on right side of buttstock indicates “Ein Wohner Wehr Bayern” which was an armed residents unit based in Munich in the Pre-Nazi days. A number of original WW1 Maxim 08/15’s were retained in Germany under the terms of the treaty of Versailles, and some, like this one were in the hands of a quasi-official armed civilian organizations. Later, when the Nazi’s came to power, this gun was collected up and “updated” as you see here. Special Weimer retrofit drain spout cover which is a simple plug which locks into place. The water fill cap retains its original wood thumb pieces. Gun comes with numerous accessories including “The Devil’s Paintbrush” book signed by Dolf Goldsmith, Original Nazi “battle-pack” of 300 rounds of steel cased 8mm ammunition, original belt drum hanger, reproduction leather and cloth sling, camouflaged painted bipod, one metal ammo can with Turkish maxim brass-tabbed cloth belt with 8mm Portugese, Berdan primed non-corrosive ammunition. Also included is a rare late war style drum box with two original WW1 German 08/15 Maxim assault drums. Also included is an original German WW1 water can with “swing-out” spout, and what is almost certainly the condensing hose tip captured with this gun as it has the special fitting at the end for this Weimar era retrofit drain plug. Original anti-aircraft rear sight is included attached to the right side of the receiver. Exceptionally rare parts on this gun include the feed block with a switch which allows the firer to utilize either cloth belts or MG34 belts, and the even rarer forward bipod attachment ring which fits between the muzzle booster and nose of water jacket. One also immediately notices drain valve positioned at the bottom of the water 17” forward on the trunnion. Also included is an extremely rare original leather cover for the pistol grip. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original Weimar era deep blue refinish on all metal parts except for the bipod, which although almost certainly was not captured with this gun, it was what the consignor had, and does exhibit an interesting camouflage paint with scattered corrosion at the exposed points. Walnut stock and pistol-grip handle show light handling marks, bruises and scratches, but remain string and serviceable. Buttstock has a 4” long crack on right side running parallel to the bore line. Drum box is extremely fine, as are drums within, both 18

of which retain their original paint. Steam condensing hose is black rubber, still soft and pliable which indicates it is a replacement, but from long ago undoubtedly. Bore near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is an exceptional gun and an example of an exceedingly rare model, which was only fielded for a very short time before the MG-34 replaced it as soon as this newer model machine gun became available. Returning G.I.’s were obviously more attracted to the more modern machine gun designs they encountered. As to how many of this specimens particular configuration survived the war, in a completely matching numbers state, were brought back to the United States, and subsequently registered for private ownership, this cataloger would like hear some input, but probably fewer than can be counted on the fingers of one hand if even that many. Offered for the most discerning and advanced Maxim and WW1 collector, and/or shrewd investor, a chance not likely to be repeated to own what is likely the very best specimen of its kind. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 18-74 15,000 - 25,000

7 - (N) SUPERB AND VERY RARE GERMAN WW2 MP 43/1 MACHINE GUN WITH ORIGINAL SCOPE (CURIO & RELIC) Manufacturer: Wuerttemergische Metallwarenfabrik Model: MP-43/1 Serial No. 4642 Caliber/Bore: 7.92x33mm Barrel Length: 16” FFL Status: NFA Extremely attractive and eye-catching early German WW2 MP43/1 manufactured by C.G. Haenel in 1943, with eagle over “37” proofs on underside of receiver as well as on left side of barrel. Other proof marks in evidence are “cos” (Merz werk), and “awt” (Wurttemburgische Matallwarefabrik), who were both well-known German WW2 sheet metal sub-contractors who provided a great deal of equipment to the German military. Close examination reveals that the bolt and operating rod were provided by Mauser (eagle over “26”) with an “M” on the underside of the bolt. The bolt is of the early “1st” type without a factory cut-out near the extractor. Visible parts appear all matching SN throughout, to include hand inscribed SN on bolt. Scope mount exhibits matching SN with eagle over “214” proof, with tiny eagle over swastika final proof visible through release lever channel. Accessories include German WW2 vintage ZF4 scope manufactured by “ddx” (Voigtlander & Sohn), original leather sling, and one rare original “MKb42” over “MP43” marked magazine also with C.G. Haenel proofs. This gun incorporates an original factory-fitted MKb-42 “Heavy” un-stepped barrel with long muzzle nut. This is completely consistent with the vintage of this gun as part of the transition from the manufacture of the Mkb-42 the factory was utilizing the barrels and other parts still on hand. This model was the Grand-daddy of all modern 20

www.MorphyAuctions.com | October 30, 2018

assault rifles incorporating desirable features such as being select-fire, firing from a closed bolt, taking an intermediate cartridge (shorter than the standard 8mm) which could range out further and with greater effect than a pistol cartridge, and yet have a high magazine capacity. This specimen exhibits and important step what the German military was trying to develop. A rifle which would serve in multiple roles and situations according to need, include having a scope for longer range and low-light conditions. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent mixture of original and nearly indiscernible original factory refinish at time of assembly of sub-contracted parts. Stock has some very light handling marks. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt is near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. A fantastic find for the advanced WW2 German military collector, and gun that is great fun to shoot at the range as well. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO & RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 18-37 28,000 - 38,000

8 - (N) ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC GERMAN WW2 ZB-26 MACHINE GUN WITH SS DEATH’S HEAD MARKING (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Czech Model: ZB-26 Serial No. 7610M Caliber/Bore: 8x57mm Barrel Length: 25” FFL Status: NFA Absolutely fantastic ZB-26 machine gun as manufactured by Czechoslovakia as VZ-26 with Spanish crest and taken into German service. Top of receiver bears SS depot death’s head logo. Many of this model were captured when the Czechoslovakia became part of the German Reich. Whether they were already in Czech military service, produced but not yet delivered as foreign contract, or unfinished at the factory, all were taken into German service. The SS in particular acquired these in the years prior to their being allowed to procure weapons through normal military channels. Thus one will see “SS” markings on a variety of guns with otherwise different manufacturer’s markings. Germany took over the Czech BRNO plant and it became “Waffenwerke Brunn” and assigned the WaA 63 acceptance code. Completed, or near complete guns were inspected, accepted and sent along to be issued as needed. This specimen exhibits both the eagle over “63” proofs and a “death’s head” under what appears to be “SS 2” depot mark, above the original, partially obliterated original Czech proofmark at the top of the receiver. The original Czech applied manufacturers markings on the sides of the receiver remain, of course. Barrel serial number of “P3541” does not match receiver SN, but it is a vintage correct barrel with eagle over “63” proof and eagle over Swaztika firing proof. Left side of stock sling hardware boss is marked “30P 190” This is the unit designation to which it was issued. One original 20 round Czech magazine is included with this gun. Also included is redacted copy of original 1945 dated registration form. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original finish on barrel, and receiver, with the metal of the lower assembly metal finish thinning to more a gray patina, with a peppering of gray pitting corrosion at rear of stock hardware. There are weld marks underneath and to either side of the barrel release latch on the left of the receiver, and cleaned up weld marks 1” to the rear of the latch on the underside of receiver which indicates this gun was a DEWAT at one time. Barrel release latch a plum color. Gas cylinder tube extremely clean. Buttstock and handgrip wood are extremely fine Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright with some darkness in the grooves. Bolt is near excellent with Czech marking visible at top. Magazine also exhibits Czech proof with extremely fine finish. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun with “20” “0” “1” selector. Absolutely stunningly attractive specimen with desirable markings.

10 - (N) RARE HIGHLY SOUGHT GERMAN WW2 BERGMANN MP35/I MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC) Manufacturer: Bergmann Model: 34/1 Serial No. 7323 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Barrel Length: 7 - 3/4” FFL Status: NFA The Bergmann MP35/I machine gun was originally designed and marketed for the European police market in the mid 1930’s and was produced in two barrel lengths, 7.75” and 12.60”. These were generally issued to German police and SS units during World War 2. This specimen is devoid of makers markings of any kind. Only the serial numbers are in evidence as noted below. This model was one of the last of the high-quality milled steel machine guns before Germany and subsequently other countries went to the practice of using stamped metal parts. This model incorporates some very interesting features for a pistol caliber machine gun. It incorporates a two-trigger select fire system where the firer can squeeze off solitary rounds one after another by squeezing the forward trigger to the rear and then releasing it after each shot. If the firer desires fully automatic fire they need only to squeeze the forward trigger all the way to the rear which actuates a lever (2nd trigger) at the rear of the trigger guard which provides automatic fire. One can understand the advantages to not needing to reposition a finger to push a selector button or flip a selector switch. The firer simply needs a little training and practice. The other highly interesting and convenient feature is this model incorporates a quick release barrel feature. 3 ¼” to the rear of the front edge of the fore-end there is a detent button which when depressed with the tip of a finger or small tool will actuate a lever allowing the muzzle and barrel assembly to rotate 90 degrees and be easily withdrawn from the shroud for cleaning. This is an absolutely wonderful feature for the modern recreational machine gun enthusiast ! Other features include a safety lever at the left side of the receiver below and slightly to the rear of the adjustable rear sight, and a bolt release catch just to rear of it which allows the bolt to fully withdrawn for cleaning. The bolt itself is a relatively heavy piece which cocks the weapon in a way reminiscent of a bolt action rifle for the first shot. This particular specimen has a laminated stock and un-numbered bolt. Receiver serial number and trigger guard number “82a” do not match. Barrel number is barely discernable “488” on bottom of chamber. One 30 round magazine is included. Magazine appears to be professionally adapted from a MP34 magazine. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine with over 80% WW2 vintage refinish over some small but noticeable shrapnel marks in the metal on the shroud near the muzzle, and on the magazine well and housing. Explosion would have come from the right side at about the 1 o’clock position somewhat forward of the carrier of this weapon. The magazine housing has been just slightly curved inward at the center forward edge, making the magazine a tight fit. Very interesting, and is almost certainly what must have precipitated the replacement of the barrel and some other restorative work by a Waffenmeister. The rear of the receive and magazine housing has turned to a pleasing smooth brown patina. The forward edge of the stock has undergone an expert repair by matching and gluing a small plug in place, barely noticeable. Otherwise stock has some small dings and handling marks. Bore is shiny and bright but definitely has experienced use. Bolt is extremely fine within the receiver, turning a brown patina where exposed. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. This is a fairly rare model of a WW2 machine gun, and the interesting feature of the quick release barrel has often been overlooked by both the Veterans who bagged the guns, and subsequent collectors. This specimen with its interesting and yet not unattractive battle damage makes for a particularly interesting historical piece. It would almost no effort to straighten the forward edge of the magazine well, but we leave that as a choice for the winning bidder to decide upon. This is a great collector’s piece as it is.

11 - (N) REGISTERED DEACTIVATED STEYR MP30 (GERMAN WW2 MP-34O PREDECESSOR) MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC)(DEACTIVATED STATUS) Manufacturer: Steyr Model: MP30 Serial No. 4699 Sear Serial No. 4699 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Mauser Barrel Length: 8 - 1/4” FFL Status: NFA The Steyr MP-30 and its close decendent, the MP34o were among the the last of the milled steel receiver machine guns, and also one of the most powerful of the pistol caliber sub-machine guns, the Steyr MP30 was designed and intended to be used as a police arm and also for export. It was produced in several calibers, including .45 acp, 9 mm Mauser, 9 mm Steyr, 9 mm Parabellum, 7.63 Mauser, and 7.65 mm. The 9mm Mauser is a very powerful a pistol cartridge and one friend of this cataloger who has one of these guns states that it “really barks and jumps!” The early models were mostly chambered in 9mm Mauser, and the later ones, after 1938 were chambered mostly in 9 mm parabellum. There was a significant contract in 9mm parabellum produced for Portugal in 1942, but it seems a least a portion of these were redirected into the hands of German security forces as this cataloger has talked to several Veterans, or relatives of Veterans who bagged them from German prison camp guards during or immediately after WW2. All these so captured bore the Portugese creast. This specimen is marked with “W” Austrian Eagle and “34” proof on left side of receiver below hinge of top cover. Visible numbers appear matching including receiver, bolt, cover latch, safety, and stock. Stock has the distinctive sweep and profile particular to the MP-30. Safety forward of the trigger guard also indicative of the MP-30. One original 32 round 9mm Mauser magazine included. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine original finish with scattered areas of light corrosion. Top cover release latch, bolt handle, and sling hardware finish handle thinning to a gray brown patina. Light brown corrosion in recessed areas from storage, as well as on forward flat of trigger guard, most of which should clean-up with some effort. Stock exhibits moderate dings and handling marks but still remains very solid and serviceable. Barrel has been welded to receiver at the chamber, with the chamber being plugged with weld. Sufficient heat was used during this process to “crater” the area of the receiver surrounding the mouth of the chamber. Bolt face was ground down sufficiently so it closes all the way forward when released. Bore condition not observed due to chamber being plugged. Bolt is extremely clean and in the white with the face and extractor ground down well behind the extractor claw, with some heat discoloration. Mechanics are otherwise crisp apart from the deactivation steps already noted. This is a select-fire machine gun. Actually, quite a nice example of its kind which with the appropriate amount of expertise, effort and parts could be restored to a firing condition. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 5 AS A CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE DEACTIVATED MACHINE GUN. THIS GUN MAY BE REACTIVATED UPON APPLICATION AND APPROVAL BY THE BATF, SUBJECT TO ANY STATE AND LOCAL RESTRICTIONS. JWK 18-57 6,500 - 9,500

13 - ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS AND RARE ORIGINAL MATCHING AND COMPLETE GERMAN WW2 RHEINMETTAL MANUFACTURED MG34 PART SET WITH ALL SPARES IN ORIGINAL TRANSIT CHEST Serial No. 4331b Very likely the most complete and highest condition MG34 kit remaining, this completely matching and all complete kit less the original receiver was hand-picked from all the ones imported by International Military Antiques years ago from all such kits they had access to. This was the one which was all matching, with all accessories, and in near new original condition. The consignor was forward thinking and got the very best, and added a dummy receiver to the transit chest. It contains: Complete MG-34 set of parts less the receiver, Matching numbered gunner’s spare tool kit with spider sight, spare bolt renumbered to match gun, broken case extractor, and barrel mitt, 1 dummy receiver assembly, 5 matching barrels total, one in the gun and the others in original matching barrel carriers, original wooden transit chest with Portuguese record manual. Upon close examination barrel number 3 appears to be a re-number. The earliest MG34’s in the contract to Portugal were marked with the “Rheinmetall” firm name. All of the Portuguese contract kits observed were “dot” (Waffenwerke Brunn) manufactured. The Transit chests were specially fitted to hold the disassembled guns, spare barrels, barrel carriers, and gunners kits. The exterior of these transit chests were painted green and stenciled with the Portuguese designation “M/944” for the MG34 machine gun, and this chest matches the SN of the gun inside. ‘The guns and parts supplied to Portugal such as this one, bear Nazi proofs and are numbered just as their counterparts being delivered to the German military forces were. CONDITION: Just about mint in original chest, with original Portuguese delivery paperwork and firing record book indicating the gun was occasionally fired 30 rounds on one occasion and 60 rounds on another in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Needing only a receiver to become about the finest and most complete example of the venerable and historic German MG34 “All Purpose” machine gun of World War 2. This is a fantastic opportunity for the discerning and forward thinking investor collector. 11,000 - 16,000

This is one of the major manufacturers of this machine gun during WW2. The year of manufacture is visible directly below this marking. Visible serial numbers appear matching on upper receiver, lower assembly tang, trigger guard, and stock, and even on the right side of the bolt. One 30 round magazine is included with deeply struck non-matching serial number ending in “4521” on right side near the base. Although over 5 million of these guns were manufactured in Soviet Russia, they are a fairly scarce as a fully transferable machine gun in the National Firearms Act registry. Most probably having come into this country from Veterans who either bagged them in Germany during or after WW2, or subsequently in Korea or Viet Nam. The Germans on their Eastern front liked to use these machine guns when they could capture them for as long as there was ammunition available. They are a dependable machine gun, fire very fast, took a 71 round drum and the sound it made did not “draw” Russian return fire as readily as the German MP-40. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent as refinished. Wood stock has a neatly routed oval on the left side with the gun serial number within. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is near excellent and in the white. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun.

127 - (C) OUTSTANDING CONDITION INCREDIBLY RARE AND HISTORIC MARCH 1962 HECKLER AND KOCH G3 MK SEMI-AUTO RIFLE. Manufacturer: H&K Model: G3 3/62 Serial No. 2088 Caliber/Bore: .308 Winchester Barrel Length: 19 - 1/4 FFL Status: Curio & Relic Incredibly rare “ghost” of the collectible H & K rifles in America. This is a nearly identical rifle to the one offered in our March 14-15, 2016 auction. These were the very first of the G3 rifles imported into America in March of 1962 for the Santa Fe Division of the Golden State Arms Corporation. This fantastic specimen is one of reportedly only around 20 examples imported in the very first shipment into the United States and uniquely distinguishable from later July and November offerings of the same year. Marked “G3 MK 2088” and “HK 3/62” on left side of magazine housing with corresponding matching numbered lower and buttstock housing, SN “088 on the lower housing and the backplate of the buttstock match the receiver. Consignor has included in addition to the extremely and attractive wooden hand guard the extremely desirable metal handguard w/fold-out bipod legs. This is an extremely rare orig accessory. Also included is an original Shooting Times magazine dated November 1963 which contains an article by Capt. George C. Nonte Jr. on the H & K G-3. Also a copy of the orig 1963 Santa Fe Golden State Arms Corp promotional sales listing as well as a copy of the Golden State Arms Corp. G-3 instruction manual with a photo copy of the orig accessory sheets showing what was available and the prices. These guns were the purposely made semi-automatic “brothers” to the military select fire versions being fielded at the time. Although at first glance safety appears to have three positions, a raised dimple prevents it being moved beyond the 2nd position. Receiver is attractively marked, “MADE IN GERMANY FOR (LOGO) SANTA FE DIVISION GOLDEN STATE ARMS CORPORATION CALIFORNIA – U.S.A. CAL. 7.62 118

MM NATO”. Top of bolt marked, “HK 3/62” and proofed “U”. The bolt carrier marked “HK 4/62”. Beautiful wooden buttstock and 2 forends, 1 wooden and the other metal w/ bipod. Pistol grip is a hard black composite and so is butt plate. Bird cage flash hider at muzzle. This specimen includes one orig 20-rnd magazine marked, “G3 HK 4/62”. This early model of the G3 was manufactured on Mauser tooling and is the pathfinder of the modern “modular” weapons concept, where a basic receiver design could be transformed into a specialized application for different kinds of uses, such as straightforward plain battle rifle, or folding stock for paratroop, or armor. Scopes and bipods, were easily fitted to this design in a successful attempt to meet the varying needs of the modern assault rifle. This design provided the framework for the MP5 and nearly all firearm platforms manufactured by Heckler and Koch for more than 3 decades. Included with this lot is an orig November 1963 “Shooting Times” with article by Capt. George C. Nonte Jr. on one of these early guns. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine orig smooth lustrous gray-blue finish on all metal parts. There is some slight loss of finish to bare metal where the charging handle meets the high edges of the charging handle slot and also where the selector moves against the receiver. There is also a couple of other errant blemishes and along the high edges of the magazine well. Magazine has a couple of brown spots, but none of this in any way detracts from the outstanding condition. The wood of forend and stock is exceedingly attractive, w/only the lightest of handling marks. It is interesting to note the early weld/ manufacturing techniques used on this rifle. Internal parts and bore of this rifle are near pristine. Bolt face is particularly attractive, as is the grain of the wooden forend and buttstock. Bore is excellent, shiny, and bright. Shooting Times magazine in very fine orig complete condition. Although this rifle has obviously been shot, it must have been very little, and even then immediately cared for. Many of us are used to the later H & K guns and it is an extremely rare and welcome treat to see such an early specimen, particularly in such clean and attractive condition. Specimens such as these almost never surface on the collector market, and it is difficult to imagine a finer specimen. The fact that it is Curio & Relic eligible in addition to its scarcity make this a top prize for the modern rifle enthusiast. 24,000 - 34,000

The Model 1908 Mondragon is a classic military firearm, the first semi-automatic rifle ever adopted by a major military. Designed in Mexico the rifle was built by Sig in Switzerland with most examples chambered in 7mm. In addition to Mexico the rifle was also used years later by the WWI German Observation Troops. Unlike most rifles, this mid-production example, previously written up as an experimental rifle, has been fitted with a larger than usual diameter barrel, tapering toward the front, that was machined with 17 - 1/2” of cooling fins. The last 5” of the barrel are round to which has been fitted and a more modern ramped front sight. Rear sight and handguard are absent. The gas port is solid without a cutoff. The bolt, missing the extractor, is fastened permanently to the operating rod that has been recontoured. Forward of the trigger guard is the usual safety. Magazine housing has been modified to include a spring loaded release, now secured with a cotter pin, to retain a recently made snail drum magazine, whose lips are distressed, closely modeled after the original and missing part of the foldable crank. The rust blued receiver, without crest, is numbered 1171 on the left side with the serial number repeated on the top of the bolt. The barrel, bolt, operating rod, and receiver cap are polished and in the white. Original walnut stock, missing barrel bands and associated spring, still with swivel at toe and accepted metal buttplate. CONDITION: Receiver with 90% of refurbished blue. Parts in the white near excellent with staining and scattered flecks of oxidation. Stock is very good with numerous dings and areas of discoloration. Repainted, reproduction snail drum magazine with most of its black paint. Action is sluggish with bolt needing some assistance to fully close. Manual safety functions properly. Bright bore with strong rifling. Magazine should be considered as a cosmetic but nonfunctional accessory. NOTE: It should be noted that while researching this rifle we came across another Mondragon that shared an identical serial number. 7,500 - 11,500

General Gay was awarded the Silver Star in December 1942 for gallantry in action on November 8, 1942, at Casablanca. He was chief of staff of the I Armored Corps, commanded by General George S. Patton, in North Africa at the time. Gay would continue to serve as Patton’s chief of staff until Patton’s death in December 1945. Gay was promoted to Brigadier General on June 24, 1943. In the Sicily campaign he was assigned to the U.S. Seventh Army as chief of staff. He became chief of staff, Third Army, in February 1944. In this capacity, Gay was a key member of Patton’s command staff during the Third Army’s drive into Germany following the Normandy invasion. When Patton took command of the U.S. Fifteenth Army in October 1945, Gay was again his chief of staff. He and Patton went pheasant hunting on December 9, 1945. Patton and Gay were seated in the back seat of the staff car, en route to the hunting lodge. There was a traffic accident, during which Patton sustained spinal injuries which later cost him his life. General Gay was uninjured. Hobart R. Gay’s career in the U.S. Army ended in 1955 as the Commanding General, Anti-aircraft and Guided Missile Center, Fort Bliss, Texas. The letter accompanying this gun details the chain of custody, through both marriage and friendship from General Gay following the war through to the gentleman who wrote the letter.

Another pair are in open savanna on left lockplate. The quality and artistry in these scenes is extremely fine, and almost photographic. The scene on left lockplate is truly extraordinary rivaling or exceeding the best work of any engraver in the world today. The bull in the foreground looks alive and you can almost see the blood coursing through the veins in his ears. Engravers signature, “T. Pozzobon” is on trigger plate. (Adone Pozzobon trained in Italy and proprietor of the Adone Galleries of Toronto.) Top of action is engraved “N. A. MAKINSON & SON” on riband around top lever pivot.

138 - (M) INNOVATIVE SZECSEI & FUCHS BOLT ACTION DANGEROUS GAME DOUBLE RIFLE WITH SPARE MAGAZINE AND SCOPE- SERIAL NUMBER 004!. Manufacturer: Szecsei & Fuchs Model: Double Bolt Rifle Serial No. 4 Caliber/Bore: .416 Remington Magnum Barrel Length: 23 - 1/2” FFL Status: Modern Length of Pull: 14 - 3/4” Drop at Heel: approx 2 - 1/8” Drop at Comb: approx 2” Hungarian hunter, Joseph Szecsei, was charged by three elephants simultaneously. He survived. As a result of this encounter he decided that the two shots offered by the typical double rifle were not enough, and that the added capacity of a normal bolt action rifle was hampered by the time it took for each successive shot. So ... he designed this rifle, a bolt action double, giving two almost instantaneous shots with another two ready with one bolt operation and no need to take your eyes off the game. With a pair “up the spout” a full magazine gives a total of 8 shots. These rifles are built in Austria, and exhibit exquisite quality. Double barrels are 23 - 1/2” long and are fitted with quarter rib holding one standing, two folding leaf express rear sights. Gold bead is in matching front ramp. Caliber (.416 Remington Magnum) is engraved on mid rib. In order to save weight receiver is of titanium and is intricately machined to accept double box magazine, and has integral scope mount. Intricate engine turned double bolt mechanism has six locking lugs at rear, with pear shaped bolt knob and forward/ reverse safety on right side. Bolt release is a push button on bottom tang in front of trigger guard. Rifle is fitted with double triggers and trigger guard tang extends to steel grip cap in classic fashion. Nicely marbled and stump figured European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14 - 3/4” over brown open sided Uncle Mike’s pad. To accommodate this wide action, stock styling is a bit unusual, however stock sports a classic right hand cheekpiece, well cut borderless checkering with fleur-di-lis intrusions at grip and forend. Forend tip is of crotch figured walnut. A sling eye on toe line matches that on bottoms of barrels. Rifle is mounted with Swarovski Habicht 1.5 - 4 30mm scope with three post and central crosshair reticle, in specially designed 1 piece QD ring set. Double stack magazines have latches on both sides to insure against inadvertent loss. Weight without scope, with magazine: 13 lbs 5 oz. CONDITION: Excellent with evidence of light field use, perhaps one safari. Metal retains approximately 95%+ original blue, with some light scratches and silvering of sharp edges. Stock has a number of minor marks and dents in its original finish, checkering lightly worn. There is evidence of light recoil compression on left side of stock behind recoil bolt. Bores are excellent. Action is very smooth. Scope is excellent with some marks on exterior, optically clear. You’d be the only one on the block with one of these. This rifle handles surprisingly well, and the concept does have considerable merit for dangerous game. MGM 126 27,500 - 37,500

Other makers came up with various other trade names eg. “Explora” and “Faunetta” by Westley Richards. William Evans simply called his “Ball & Shot”. This gun has heavy 28 - 1/8” dovetailed steel barrels with 2” of deeply rifled chokes. They are fitted with vestigial quarter rib with two folding leaf express rear sight on raised front portion. Mid rib in front of sight is engraved “Ball & Shot Gun”. Silver bead front sight is longitudinally dovetailed into raised front portion of rib. Tops of barrels are engraved “William Evans (FROM PURDEYS)” “63 Pall Mall, St. James’s London.” Barrel flats are stamped with serial numbers and London nitro proofs for 7/8 oz shot, long chambers, and “RCHOKE”.

Case contains a leatherette wallet holding re-loading tools, as well as newly made aluminum paradox bullet mold, sizing die, and roll crimper. Case also contains ebony and brass cleaning rod and two snap caps. CONDITION: The condition of this gun is also a paradox, in that it appears to be in exceptional condition, yet the engraving and matting on the barrels is considerably softened. Whereas the action and stocks appear to be very close to new. Where this serial number dates to 1909, perhaps the barrels were left over or abandoned at Evans shop and fitted to this new gun in the 1920’s contemporary with the Commander. Eppley’s double rifle is also in this sale. Action and locks retain what appears to be over 95% original case hardening color. Blue on trigger guard and top lever also rates about 90% and appears original. Stocks retain over 90% of a hand rubbed oil finish with oil added on butt with installation of newer pad. Checkering is lightly worn and dark. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Case leather is fine with quite a few scuffs and rubs. Straps and handle are good. Interior cloth is fine to very fine with some marks and rubs, some through. Accessories are very fine. This lovely little gun could be the perfect candidate for hunting in rifle restricted territory. Paradox guns are generally regarded to be fairly accurate out to 100 yards. MGM41 18,000 - 27,500

156 - WINCHESTER SINGLE “W” CARTRIDGE BOARD. Board is framed in oak. Panel is marked on top “WINCHESTER” in red over “REPEATING ARMS COMPANY” in gold. Bottom of board reads “NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. / NEW YORK SAN FRANCISCO”. Center of “W” has two ducks hanging. Left part of “W” shows a vignette of a hunter with an Indian scout. Right part of “W” shows a cowboy laying on the ground over his dead horse firing a Winchester rifle. Cartridges are all labeled. Board also shows some primers. Shotshells are on both sides and bottom. This board is referred to as the “Single W” with wood grain background. CONDITION: Very good condition. Frame is intact with some scratching overall. Backboard is clean. Vignettes are clear. Upon close inspection of all surfaces with a blacklight there is a 3/4” spot of restoration on the right vignette, a 2” inpainted scratch on hanging ducks; the only places of restoration we could find on the paper area. Surface is clean, all cartridges intact. There are a few small scatter blemishes in the paper that could easily be touched up but have not, as they are very minor. This is an extremely clean example of the rare and desirable 19th century cartridge boards given out to Winchester’s largest dealers only and were never offered for sale to the general public. They suffer a poor survival rate as most were destroyed or cartridges removed. Due to their large size, many were relegated to basements and attics where they were left to decades of changing environment, temperature and moisture; this board has suffered none of those effects. This is not a standard shippable item and will require an oversized/breakable quote provided by Morphy Auctions. 20,000 - 40,000

157 - LOT OF 10: CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED UNFIRED COLT CUSTOM SHOP SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS IN CUSTOM DISPLAY CASE.

In short, this collection of ten Colt Single Action Army Revolvers is the only such collection ever assembled. Historians will point to the late 19th century when ten special order Colt Single Action Army Revolvers were produced but they were all .45 caliber, nickel finish and engraved with 5-1/2” barrels and the serial numbers were not consecutive. This was a mythical run of Colts that many believe the Dalton gang ended up procuring and were used in the famous robbery at Coffeyville, Kansas of which three revolvers from that order still exist. But we go back to the fact that they were all the same and not consecutive, and cannot

be compared to this current collection whereas each revolver has a special feature or combination of features, making each unique and one-of-a-kind. If any reader has ever tried to get just a single Colt from the custom gun shop with features they were no longer making, you know how difficult it was to have them overlook the discontinued items and produce them for you, regardless. Now, consider at the time the first order was placed in 1988 and the last firearm was completed on September 21st, 1995 and requested they reserve ten consecutive serial numbers from regular production for a period of over eight years and the idea that was formulated to make each one unique took a tremendous amount of patience and compliance from both sides of the table. As if coming up with ten consecutive unique Colt Army revolvers was not challenge enough alone, let’s examine the firewalls that were thrown into this span of time. Upon placing the first order in 1988, Colt was in the middle of a five year Union strike, making available labor spotty at best. Then in 1992, Colt filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection where it wallowed until sold in September of 1994. It is well known that a smooth running company retains its figureheads for long period of time and that when head management changes at a rapid pace, quality and production spiral out of control. So it was during this era that these Colts were made, saw the coming and going of four different presidents: Gary W. French, Richard F. Gamble, Ronald Stillwell and Ronald C. Whitaker. In fact, there was no president when the last gun was ready for presentation and delivery. Eventually, the vacant office was filled by Donald E. Zilkha. The Colt Custom Gun Shop, renowned for the master craftsmen it employed, was in upheaval as well. Lou Sharp, the Custom Sales Shop manager would resign and Al DeJohn, founder of the shop, retired in 1990. DeJohn was replaced for a short period of time by Joe Bischof and again by Jim Alaimo. Alaimo soon resigned as well, and the custom shop responsibilities were divided into production and sales with Paul Zamsky appointed custom shop supervisor and Lynn Shea custom shop sales supervisor. In 1992, the company planned a consolidation of the two Hartford plants that was not completed until May 31st, 1994 with the custom shop among the last to vacate the Hartford Armory building. The turmoil at the Colt Factory made it nearly impossible to get an order such as this processed, a major problem being the withdrawal of serial numbers in this range, the suspending of production of the black powder style frames, shortage of supply of one piece ivory stocks, and the return of the custom shop guideline that did not allow customers to select a specific engraver. Every gun in this collection is a Custom Gun Shop endeavor; each remains unfired in its original box. It is also interesting to note that the last revolver manufactured was delivered personally by Jeffrey R. Crute, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. During these eight years, Colt mainstays such as Marty Huber, Kathy Hoyt and Beverly Haynes continued diligently to keep this project on point. To conclude, it was a near miracle that the set of Colts that dreams are made of was ever finished at all. Since their completion, this one-of-a-kind and unique collection has been featured in its entirety in two books. You can find images of the complete collection with brief descriptions and serial numbers on page 316 and 317 in the book titled “Colt and Its Collectors” as well as in “The Colt Engraving Book Vol. II” by R.L. Wilson on pages 804 and 805. Once the collection was completed, simply sticking them in a drawer was no way to display something that took almost a decade to create, so a custom wood and glass case was built specifically for this collection. ID cards were printed up so that the entire collection could be hung from the wall with the specific information for each gun listed, and the boxes put away for safe keeping. Another one-of-a-kind event took place as well, Kathy Hoyt, the well-known and longtime Colt historian did the first ever ten unit factory letter, each one in sequential order starting with SA77770 and ending with serial No. SA77779, which every detail of each firearm was duly noted, and as if that was not enough, she typed out the entire history that has just been presented to you as part of the letter, which takes up seven pages. Of course these books and all this documentation, as well as the display case will come with the collection. There is also a very interesting, detailed “Study in Numbers” such as “One of the ten revolvers has a non-standard style grip frame”, “Two of the ten revolvers have long flute cylinders”, “Five of the ten revolvers have hand checkered ivory grips”, etc. As to shipping, three guns in consecutive order were shipped directly to the customer, which is contrary to Colt’s 150

159 - (C) FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH IVORY GRIPS (1904). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 252447 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Shipped on January 21st, 1904. This factory engraved Colt was sent in a shipment of three guns to H&D Folsom Arms Company, New York with a 5-1/2” barrel, .45 caliber, nickel finish, factory engraved and stocks not listed. The stocks were probably put on by the dealer and are beautifully aged two piece ivory. Cuno A. Helfricht was in charge of the Colt Engraving Department during this era. When referencing the book “Colt Engraving” by Wilson, the Cuno Helfricht chapter has every aspect of this engraving including chicken feet, sunburst, Moravian star, punch dot background, scrolls and borders. A very similar example can be seen on page 295, bottom photo, serial No. 193469 which is nearly identical. This would be considered a Class C engraving job with engraving on every major part of the gun including barrel, housing, frame, cylinder, trigger guard, backstrap and loading gate. CONDITION: Overall revolver retains approximately 60% of the original nickel finish. The majority of wear is on the cylinder which blends to a dark grey patina, and the forward part of the frame from firing. Some scattered aging about the barrel. Flaking on grip straps. It has never been touched, all original finish with razor sharp legends. The ivory grips have beautifully aged with dark lines and have turned a mellow color, complete with no chips or cracks. Action has all four Colt clicks and locks up like a bank vault. Strong, clean rifled bore. A very nice example of a classic Helfricht engraved turn of the century Colt Single Action Army. 12,500 - 17,500

Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 355729 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Aside from a light drag line, this full factory nickel pre-war Colt shows no signs of having ever been fired. There is no cylinder burn. You can still see the dull nickel finish inside the chambers. There is no powder burn or finish loss at the forcing cone. Virtually no wear on the recoil shield. Rifling is sharp and grooves are clean. Pearl grips were fitted with total precision and have no chips or cracks, bright color, no yellowing. Cylinder exhibits a light drag line. There are a couple of bumps on the sight and some usual minor handling marks. 99.9% finish that really needs an original box to properly show it off. 7,500 - 10,000

163 - (C) COLT BISLEY FLAT TOP TARGET SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER (1903). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Bisley Flat Top Target Serial No. 243128 Caliber/Bore: .38-40 Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic A total of 98 Colt Bisley Flat Top Target revolvers were manufactured, making it an extremely scarce revolver.

164 - (C) NEW YORK ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER (1900). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 192619 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This gun features full nickel plated finish and carved steer head ivory grips on right side panel. Engraving covers approximately 2/3 of the surface in scroll. CONDITION: Retains approximately 90% of the reapplied nickel finish with the balance a nice, light patina. Grips are excellent to near mint. Indexes correctly with a fine, strong bore with residue in grooves. These beautiful period engraved Colts that do not factory letter fall under the blanket term of “New York Engraved”, this was the practice of guns being engraved, often by the very engravers employed by Colt, but done off-premise. It has now become a catch-all phrase for contemporary to the time engraved Colts that do not letter but does not guarantee that this gun was actually engraved in New York, and could have been performed by any master engraver anywhere in the United States or abroad. They offer the collector an opportunity to buy a finely engraved antique Colt for a fraction of the price of an example performed at the factory. Handsome cowboy gun. This gun, serial number 192619 was part of a shipment of six guns sent from the factory on January 17th, 1900 as a blued, 4-3/4”, .45 caliber with grips not listed. Shipped to one of the largest dealers west of the Mississippi, Simmons Hardware of St. Louis. They were a giant wholesaler who shipped guns to little gun shops all over the West. At some point, contemporary to the gun, it was engraved, nickel plated and ivory steer head grips attached. 5,000 - 7,000

Correct barrel with “HP” perpendicular to bore which was used from serial No. 25001 and up. Early slide without 1913 patent date. Left side of frame has “WGP” Walter Penfield inspector stamp on oval. Early Type I front and rear sights.

It is basically full coverage scroll engraved with punch dot background covering just about ever aspect of the gun.

This revolver has not been fired since work was performed and remains in near new condition inside and out. A beautiful revolver with Texas theme.

167 - (C) COLT MODEL 1911 US NAVY SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL (1915). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1911 Navy Serial No. 109543 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Offered is a 100% all original US Navy with all correct parts untouched. Features include barrel with “HP” stamp in line with barrel sans serifs, which began at serial number 110000; Type II beveled edge rear sight, correct Type III wide spur checkered hammer, Type III tempered two tone magazine with lanyard loop, correct long smooth trigger, correct slide stop and safety, flat mainspring housing with loop, diamond truncated walnut grips.

168 - (C) BOXED COLT PYTHON DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER (1962). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Python Serial No. 23444 Caliber/Bore: .357 Magnum Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Comes in an old wood grain two piece box with proper yellow end label, matching test target, paperwork, screwdriver and cleaning rod; it appears as though there is a number at the bottom of the box but it is too faint to read. This revolver features vent rib, solid lug, six shot, double action, blued finish, serrated trigger, wide spur target hammer, matte rib, target adjustable sight, early oil finished gold medallion “smiley face” checkered walnut grips. CONDITION: Gun exhibits a ghost drag line. No signs of any wear at muzzle. All original blue on inside frame at forcing cone. Gun has been fired as you can see some light residue and a minor burn ring on end of cylinder, but is in 99% near new condition inside and out. Grips are near mint. Beautiful, early gun with box and all that comes with it. As the area of Python collecting defines itself, there should be a large premium for the early near mint guns as the amount of new in box post-80 Pythons is plentiful, the amount of near new in box pre-1970 Pythons is a fraction of that amount. Rarely seen and will rise to the top of collecting circles as more and more collectors become educated in this iconic revolver. 5,000 - 7,000

178 - (C) RARE DOCUMENTED NICKEL FINISH SMITH & WESSON REGISTERED MAGNUM REVOLVER Manufacturer: Smith and Wesson Model: Pre-War Magnun Serial No. 51309 Caliber/Bore: .357 Magnum Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Curio & Relic The Registered Magnum Smith & Wesson Revolver was introduced in 1935. These iconic revolvers were constructed with the finest material and craftsmanship that Smith & Wesson could produce and came with a registration certificate signed by the Vice President of Smith & Wesson Douglas Wesson himself. The production cost to make these special order guns was extremely cost prohibitive and the offering was discontinued after approximately 5500 hundred units where produced. The Registered Magnum series were built using the N-Frame and offered with barrel lengths from 3 1/2 inches to 8 3/4 inches. The standard finish was blue but on rare occasions some guns were ordered with a bright polished nickel finish. These rare revolvers were used extensively by Lawmen and some very noted firearms authors and authorities and have always been a centerpiece of Smith & Wesson collections. This outstanding example was special ordered and shipped from the factory on May 19 1937. Serial number 51309 with its registration number being 2252. This gun was part of a four gun shipment shipped to Reams Hardware Co. Middlesboro KY. It was shipped with a 5 inch barrel equipped with a Gold bead “KING” front sight on “KING” base. “U” notch rear sight blade NICKEL finish and checkered Magna grips. Requested at time of special order was a notation for the gun to be sighted in at 25 yards with 357 Magnum ammunition with a dead center hold. CONDITION. Exceptionally fine with 98% of the factory applied nickel finish remaining with several very minor surface scratches and nicks. The minute gold bead has disappeared over the years as is common with these “KING sight blades and the rear sight blade has been cut square to allow better visability. The serial number is observed on the bottom of the butt, on rear of cylinder, inside the barrel shroud and inside the Magna grips on the inside of the right grip.

180 - (C) ICONIC GUN WRITER COL. CHARLES ASKINS’ TEN GAUGE MAGNUM RELIEF GAME SCENE ENGRAVED PRESENTATION CUSTOM AYA SIDELOCK EJECTOR SINGLE TRIGGER SHOTGUN WITH CASE. Manufacturer: Aguirre y Aranzabal Model: SXS Sidelock Serial No. 85714 Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Length of Pull: 14” Neutral cast Drop at Heel: 2 - 1/2” Drop at Comb: 1 - 9/16” Gauge: 10 ga 3-1/2” Mag Chamber: 3 - 1/2” Barrel Wall Thickness: L .040 R .038 Choke: full and full Weight: 9 lbs 9 oz (1952) Col. Charles Askins, son of Maj. Charles Askins, well known gun writer before WWII; was also a well known, prolific, gun writer in the 50’s through the 70’s, who led an interesting and checkered life starting as a border patrol agent in the southwest. He had service during WWII in Europe and Africa, after which he spent several years in Spain as an attache to the American embassy helping to re-build Spain’s munitions plants. While in Spain he formed a close relationship with AYA co-founder Agustin Aranzabal. It was during this time that he acquired this fine custom made shotgun. Although mostly known for serviceable but relatively low priced double shotguns; during the early ‘50’s, AYA produced many guns approaching the quality of London’s best. The model “Senior” was built to Beesley’s patent and was nearly indistinguishable from the same gun built by Purdey. Most of AYA’s production was based on the Holland & Holland system as is the case with this gun. Maj. Charles Askins (the Colonel’s father) was instrumental in the development of the 10 gauge 3-1/2” magnum cartridge, and was given the very first production gun in this chambering by Ithaca. That gun was later acquired by Maj. Askins’ friend and contemporary gun writer, Elmer Keith. This particular gun in Maj. Askins favorite ten bore magnum loading has 30” finely struck chopper lump barrels fitted with raised flat matted “pigeon” rib. Tops of barrels are gold inlaid “Fca Aguirre y Aranzabal - MADE IN SPAIN” and “SPECIALLY MADE FOR CHARLES ASKINS”. There are 4 triangles of nicely cut floral acanthus and scroll engraving at breech ends with matching triangles around muzzles. Coin finished, robust, sidelock action features non-automatic safety, hidden third fastener, side clips, bushed strikers, raised rib tumbler end cocking indicators, gold-plated internals, and gold-plated single non-elective trigger. Action is beautifully filed 170

and all mating surfaces are closely fitted and brightly polished. Action and lockplates are engraved with full coverage well cut attenuated acanthus and floral motifs in a background of small scroll. This fine work surrounds high relief carvings of dogs and game. Left lockplate depicts a pack of hounds coursing a large boar, one hapless hound is being trampled. Right lock depicts four hounds bringing a wolf to bay. Bottom of action has vignette of pointing setter in woodlands. Fences are beautifully carved with flying ducks in marshy background. Edges are highlighted with relief scroll all within beaded borders. Blued top lever has gold inlaid AYA logo. Blued trigger guard engraved with matching floral acanthus has serial number on tang. Very finely marbled, dense European walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14” over thin black KICKEEZ pad. Point pattern checkering is at grip. Toe line is embellished with inlet gold heraldic American eagle over the initials “CH A”. Matching beavertail ejector forend has Anson release. Gun is housed in good quality leather case with stitched leather corners, lined in burgundy cloth. Silver embossed black leather AYA label is in lid. Case contains cleaning equipment and a square oil bottle. Gun is accompanied by “UNREPENTANT SINNER, the autobiography of Charles Askins”, as well as Wikipedia information on Askins, a copy of an article from SHOOTING TIMES “The Legend of Charlie Askins” by Skeeter Skelton, information about AYA, and other information regarding this gun. CONDITION: Excellent. Barrels retain approx 95% original blue with some light marks and high edge wear. Action retains virtually all of its coin finish, lightly toned with accumulation of oil over the years. Top lever thumbpiece and trigger guard tang are very lightly silvered. Stocks retain most of their original oil finish with some marks and a few light scuffs associated with installation of newer pad. Checkering is very lightly worn. Bores are excellent.

This cataloger recalls reading an account by Elmer detailing his ordering and receiving of this gun, but cannot remember where, probably in an old GUNS AND AMMO. It was built in Keith’s favorite 16 gauge with single selective trigger, ventilated rib, beavertail forend, and cheekpiece. All the things Elmer thought a proper shotgun should have. The well struck 30” chopper lump barrels are fitted with an unusual slightly raised flat matted ventilated rib with two steel sighting beads. Tops of barrels are engraved with AYA name and address and steel type (Chromo - Niquel). Barrel flats are stamped with serial number and 1952 Spanish nitro proofs for 2 - 3/4” chambers. Choke numbers are stamped on bottoms of barrels. H&H type sidelock action is case hardened and features non-automatic safety (S inlaid in gold), hidden third fastener, bushed strikers, side clips, gas vents, raised rib tumbler end cocking indicators, and single selective trigger of Miller type, probably supplied to AYA by Elmer Keith. Action is filed in “best” manner with delicate beads around fences. Fitting of barrels and forend iron is very precise. Action and locks are engraved with near full coverage classic rose and scroll, the execution of which rivals the best in the industry with its nicely shaded scroll and well detailed rose bouquets. “AGUIRRE Y ARANZABAL” is at the bottom of each lockplate,as well as on bottom of action along with “EIBAR”. Blued top lever and trigger guard have matching scroll. Serial number is in low relief on trigger guard tang. Smoky marbled French walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14 - 1/4” over red open sided AYA pad. Nicely shaped drop points are behind locks. Well cut point pattern checkering is on diamond hand. A shadow line cheekpiece, a feature that Elmer thought was a necessity on a shotgun, is on the left side of butt. A gold heraldic US eagle over the individual initials “EK” are inlet on toe line. Matching extra long beavertail ejector forend has Anson release. Gun is housed in its original tan leather case with riveted on nickel-plated corners. A nickel plated oval on top is engraved “EK”. A return address label for Ted Keith, Boise Idaho, is affixed to front. Interior is lined in green cloth and contains 2-piece aluminum and plastic Parker Hale cleaning rod, case straps, cleaning brush, and original proof certificate dated 14 November 1952. CONDITION: Excellent, original, as found, showing evidence of only occasional light field use, retaining nearly all original finishes with slight high edge silvering on barrels and action, and some lifting of stock finish toward rear of butt, and some wear of finish at balance point on forend. Bores are excellent. Mechanically excellent. Case leather has some light marks and scuffs. Plating of hardware is slightly toned. Interior cloth has a few rubs and a bit of soiling.

Churchill Model: SXS Sidelock Serial No. 4084 Barrel Length: 25” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Length of Pull: 14 - 1/4” neutral cast Drop at Heel: 2” Drop at Comb: 1 - 3/8” Gauge: 12 Chamber: 2 - 1/2” actual measurement 2-5/8” - ledger page indicates 2 - 3/4” Internal Bore Diameter: L .730 R .731 Barrel Wall Thickness: L .036 R .035 Choke: L .032 (full) R .018 (mod) Weight: 6 lbs 9 oz. Heir to a large fortune augmented by his marriage to Geraldine Rockefeller, Marcellus Hartley Dodge was an avid yachtsman and equestrian, and was the chairman of the board of a number of arms related companies including UMC, BGI, as well as Remington Arms. In 1929 he ordered this fine shotgun, and was most likely influenced in his choice by the then, very popular books by E. J. Churchill, extolling the virtues of the 25” gun. The “imperial” grade was a second quality sidelock gun, but its very attractive engraving pattern added to its popularity. This gun has 25” dovetailed barrels fitted with slightly raised, matted, Churchill rib. Rear portion of rib is gold inlaid “XXV”. Tops of barrels are engraved “E. J. Churchill (Gun Makers) Ltd” and “Orange St Gunworks, Leicester Square, London.” Barrel flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 2 - 1/2” chambers. Case hardened sidelock action is stocked to the fences and features automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold), hidden third fastener, and double triggers. Action and lockplates are engraved with near full coverage varying sized, but large, open shaded acanthus scroll. Scroll on lockplates is very large and is the most recognizable feature of

186

this grade. “E. J. Churchill” is on each lockplate. Bottom of action is gold inlaid with an imperial crown. Engraving work on this particular gun is exceptionally well done. Blued top lever, trigger plate, and trigger guard are also scroll engraved. Serial number is on short tang. Nicely marbled and stump figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14 - 1/4” over brown leather faced Hawkins pad. Classic drop points and point pattern checkering are at grip. The individual initials “MHD” are inlet on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Gun is accompanied by Wikipedia information on Mr. Dodge, and a copy of Churchill ledger page for this gun indicating “special handling care of Remington Arms Ltd”, and it was wanted in New York before 1 November. Gun is housed in its original VC leather case with stitched leather corners. A paper label on top printed “M. Hartley Dodge” has notation “This belongs to Philip Timmins”. Interior is lined in burgundy cloth and has E. J. Churchill celluloid labels in lid. Case contains original accessories including 2-piece brass and ebony cleaning rod and Churchill marked snap caps and oil bottle. CONDITION: Excellent, original as found. Barrels retain over 95% original blue, slightly silvered at muzzles and on sharp edges, with some light marks, and with a small scattering of scratches mostly on right side. Action and lockplates retain 90 - 95% original case hardening color, silvered on edges of fences and beads from normal hand wear. Blued parts are also excellent with only some light silvering on sharp edges in their brilliant original blue. Stocks retain nearly all of their original hand rubbed oil finish with some light marks. Checkering lightly worn. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Barrels are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. Case leather is beginning to darken, and has a fair number of scuffs and rubs. Interior cloth is fine with some rubs and soiling. Accessories are fine. An attractive gun, the XXV has a place today in grouse and woodcock covers, where its handiness excels.

superbly cut and nicely shaded large open semi relief scroll with acanthus finials and highlights. “Holland & Holland” and “London. England” are on each side of action. Bottoms of actions are engraved with more fine scroll surrounding Game Conservancy logo of a grouse standing over three fleur-di-lis. “The Game Conservancy” is in arched banner over logo, and “1979” is on strap work below. Single beaded trigger guards have matching scroll, serial numbers are in gold on tangs. Engravers signature “Casbard” is across trigger plates where mostly obscured by trigger guard bows. (Jeffrey Casbard apprenticed under Harry Kell and Ken Hunt, and remained at Purdeys until 1970, at which time he went freelance; later primarily associated with Holland & Holland) Finely matched well marbled and somewhat figured dark European walnut straight grip buttstocks measure 15” over checkered wood butts.

A truly fine pair of guns, they could not be replaced today for less than $200,000.00. Or perhaps a 50 pound lottery ticket. MGM 185 45,000 - 70,000

Case hardened, Beesley patent, self-opening sidelock action features automatic safety (SAFE inlaid in gold), bushed strikers, engraved arrowhead tumbler end cocking indicators, and double triggers (front articulated). (Case contains another set of triggers with finger blades that set much further back in trigger guard, possibly for winter use with gloved hand.) Action and lockplates are engraved with 90% coverage Purdey house style rose and scroll. “J. Purdey & Sons” is on each lockplate and “PURDEY’S” “PATENT” is on bottom of action. “1” is inlaid in silver on top lever, and rear portion of barrel rib, indicating gun is number “1” of a pair. “2” is on forend tip as forends were switched at some time in the past. Original trigger guard is of nicely shaped horn in German style. Serial number is engraved on steel extension of trigger plate forming tang. This was specially made to accommodate horn guard. Very nicely marbled and well figured dark European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14” over checkered wood butt. Butt is fitted with engraved steel trap to receive removable counterweights to be installed to accommodate shift in balance when using alternate triggers. (These counterweights with their screws are in case, and are engraved “1” and “2”.) Stock also features standard drop points, point pattern checkering at grip, and a sling loop on toe line matching that on barrels, as 196

well as a silver oval engraved “BO”. (Purdeys kindly informs that gun was delivered August 1904 to Mr. B. Oppenheimer, and that counterweights were to accommodate an additional set of 29” barrels. The different triggers alter the length of pull by about 1/8”.) Splinter ejector forend with Anson release from gun “2” fits and functions well. Actioners initials “WN” (Wesley Nobbs) are on iron. Gun is housed in its original two gun oak and leather case with brass corners, and central round medallion engraved “B. O.” Case is lined in scarlet cloth and has space for two guns with their 28” barrels, with another space for a set of 29” barrels. Case contains two piece walnut and brass cleaning rod with 6” handle along with brushes and Turks head, a narrow carrying sling, pair of Purdey marked snap caps, round unmarked oil bottle, red morocco wallet with cleaning brushes, large bone striker bottle with two sets of strikers and springs, another bone bottle with screws for attaching counterweights marked “1” and “2”. One covered compartment contains the counterweights, also marked “1” and “2”. Another compartment contains the accessory triggers. CONDITION: Very good to fine, as partially refinished. Barrels retain over 90% of an old re-black, lettering somewhat softened. Action has traces of case hardening color where protected, but is mostly silver to gray. Locks retain perhaps 10 - 15% original faded color. Stocks retain most of what appears to be their original finish with numerous marks and scratches, both light and heavy. Checkering and drop points worn. Ejector forend from gun no. “2” matches well. Bores are fine, a bit dirty, with evidence of a few raised dents, mostly in right barrel. Action is tight. Barrels are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. A small chip of wood is missing from left side of forend at rear barrel channel. There is an incipient crack which appears stable behind left lockplate. Case leather is still relatively light in color with numerous scratches and marks. Straps are missing, handle is good. Lock loops are missing. Replaced latch does work. Interior cloth is fair to good with some insect damage, soiling, and rubs. Labels have been removed. Partitions are tight, one area near action of one gun has had a portion cut away. Accessories are generally good. A neat old Purdey gun that I’m sure would have many stories to tell.

216 - (C) PARKER BROS AAH GRADE “PIGEON GUN” MADE FOR E. C. GRIFFITH, WINNER OF THE 1901 “GRAND AMERICAN”. Manufacturer: Parker Bros Model: SXS Pigeon Gun AAH Serial No. 104021 Barrel Length: 32” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Length of Pull: 15” neutral cast Drop at Heel: 2 - 7/16” Drop at Comb: 1 - 3/4” Gauge: 12 Chamber: 2 - 5/8” Internal Bore Diameter: L .732 R .733 Barrel Wall Thickness: L .031 R .022 Choke: L .038 (full) R .038 (full) Weight: 7 lbs 11 oz E. C. Griffith, hotelier, of Pascoag, RI, won the 1901 Grand American championship, the last year that live bird shooting was included in the event. The gun that he used, a “DH” straight grip Parker, was ordered in 1898. It was pictured on the 1903 Parker calendar and exists today. It has a large gold plaque on right side of butt with information of the shoot, and his score. Parker Brothers was obviously impressed by his shooting skill, and presented him this gun AAH number 104021, which according to Parker Gun Collectors letter, was shipped December 13, 1901 with 32” Whitworth barrels, pistol grip stock, with special instructions, “no safety, no butt, put gold shield on side of stock “Presented to E. C. Griffith, Pascoag, RI By Parker Bros””. Letter also relates that the gun was returned in 1902 to be re-stocked with a straight grip and to install Silver pad. The gun was returned a number of other times for maintenance. It seems Mr. Griffith sold this gun to Mr. C. F. Winslow who returned it to the factory in 1917 to fit two triggers and refresh stock and checkering. In 1918 Mr. Winslow returned the gun again to “engrave the shield”. The gun remains in this final configuration today, with its 32” Whitworth steel barrels, so engraved on top rib, which also states “Pigeon Gun Parker Bros Makers Meriden Conn”. Rib is presently fitted with two ivory beads, and there are four plugged holes after removal of other beads (per factory letter). Barrel flats and lumps are stamped with all correct markings. Bottoms of barrels have Whitworth sheaf-of-wheat trademarks. Case hardened number 2 action has patent dates, serial numbers, “7”, and “A” on water table, and is filed in “AA” style with three beads around fences, and chevron on top lever. No safety is fitted. Double triggers are nickel-plated. Action is engraved with near full coverage open shaded scroll with scattered floral highlights within geometric borders as often found on “AA” grade guns. “Parker Bros” is in rectangle on bottom of action. This fine engraving extends to trigger guard which has serial number on tang. Well streaked and somewhat figured flesh-toned

Top lever and trigger guard are lightly silvered from normal wear; blue appears to be original. Stocks retain nearly all of a hand rubbed oil finish over some marks, checkering lightly worn. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Barrels are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. There is some lifted wood at the interface of buttstock and left rear of action.

This gun is the only one they made as a factory original multi barrel set (3 sets of barrels) and was originally ordered and owned by famous Parker Salesman and shooter Arthur W. du Bray. Several books have been written about du Bray and this gun has been rumored in the Parker circles as legend for many many years. It was recently discovered in the original Family and consigned to our firm by Arthur du Bray’s Great Grandson! du Bray was well known as a champion pigeon shooter and the leading salesman for Parker Brothers on the West Coast - living in the Bay Area and distributing guns for Parker during his travels. The gun has double triggers, extractors, and no safety. The gun was originally ordered as a 12ga with 30” Whitworth Steel barrels on a No. 2 Frame. The original order called for 3” chambers, no rib extension on the barrels, no matting on the

234

rib and special stock dimensions which are all outlined in the Parker Gun Collectors Association Letter. The PGCA letter for this gun is extensive and should be carefully reviewed as the gun matches the letter nearly exactly as found today with du Bray’s numerous calls for servicing of the gun. Barrel set #2 is a set of 32” Titanic Steel Barrels, added in 1898, with full length matted rib (no rib extension, per PGCA Letter), engraved and fully checkered splinter forend, and white front bead. Barrel set #3 is a set of 32” Whitworth Barrels, added in 1902, with full length matted rib (no rib extension, per PGCA Letter), and white front bead, and fully checkered forend with forend metal engraved to match. All of the barrels and changes to the barrels are almost exactly as documented in the PGCA Letter. The full sidelock action is fantastically full coverage engraved with tight scroll and floral patterns throughout. The sidelocks are fancifully engraved “Parker Bros.” on both sides surrounded by scroll and perfectly executed busts of flowers. The bottom of the action is fully scroll and floral engraved with flowers engraved on the bottom of the sculpturing. Trigger guard bow and tang are fully engraved with gorgeous floral and scroll pattern. There is a small hole at the back of the bow for a finger bump. Straight grip buttstock is checkered in a 3 point pattern with gold oval near toe and gold shield behind top tang. The butt is 3 point checkered and appears factory. The head of the stock features Fleur-de-lis well carved behind the auction. The Fishtail top lever is fully engraved as are both hammers. Breechballs are fully sculpted and engraved to the highest order done by Parker. Barrels were all special ordered without wedge engraving and show a small floral ring

at breech end. All 3 forends are fully checkered and fully engraved irons with matching tips. CONDITION: Excellent as found. The action shows crisp engraving overall with about 25-30% original case color remaining though it is difficult to discern due to extensive engraving. Buttstock is excellent with minor handling marks and shows most of what appears to be its factory original finish from 1901 as documented in the PGCA Letter. The checkering has just barely started to thin from handling wear by du Bray. Barrels all show an older reblued finish. Barrel set # 1 has the original Damascus top rib without matting (as specified in the PGCA Letter) and crisp barrel legend, and usual proper Whitworth stampings. It retains nearly all of the reblued finish,

bores are bright and shiny with only minor handling marks. Forend for this set is all original with checkering slightly thinned at carry point. Bores are very good. Barrel set # 2 (Titanic Steel) retain nearly all of the reblued finish, show a few minor handling marks, with crisp matting, engraving, and barrel legend. The later mid-bead (red) on this set has come off and only the base remains. Forend iron for this barrel set appears to be original, though recolored long ago, and the wood may be a later Remington or Del Grego replacement though it matches the others in all aspects included the mullered border checkering, but tip shaping leads this cataloger to believe it is a possible replacement. Bores are good with minor rivelling noted at thin spot towards muzzle. (The PGCA Letter confirms this set of barrels was sent back to Parker to “Make light as can” and the thin spot near the muzzle is most likely factory work). Barrel set # 3 (Whitworth Steel) retain nearly all of the reblued finish, show a few minor handling marks with crisp rib matting, engraving, and barrel legend. The forend for this set appears original in all respects with checkering in excellent original condition as is forend metal. Bores are very good. The most recent book on the Life and Times of Arthur W. du Bray was written by well known author Ed Muderlak in 2002, who is now deceased. Muderlak spent a great deal of time researching du Bray, his shooting exploits, and his salesmanship for the Parker Gun Co. du Bray was known as the consummate Victorian shooter and his Parker Grade 7 3 barrels set is near mythical in the Parker World. Collectors should also view the other important lots related to “Gaucho” du Bray in this auction - all consigned directly from A.W. du Bray’s great grandson and never before offered for sale! This particular lot is easily the most historically important Parker shotguns to come to market and worthy of the very finest and most advanced Parker Collection.

(1888) In the late 1870’s Purdeys, who had always made “best” guns only, was looking for a larger market share, and introduced a line of lesser quality guns still carrying the Purdey name. A normal best gun was given “Grade A”, and sold for 58 pounds, and grades ranged down through to “Grade E” which sold for 22 pounds. All grades under “A” were clearly marked with their grade under a crossed bullet logo trademark on barrel flats and water table. Some of these guns were produced in-house, but most were acquired through the trade, and finished at Purdeys. This particular gun, a best quality Anson & Deeley boxlock, is a “Grade C” gun which retailed at almost 36 pounds. It was most likely acquired from W. and C. Scott and finished at Purdeys. It has 30” fine Damascus barrels fitted with slightly swamped narrow game rib engraved “J. Purdey & Sons. Audley House. South Audley Street. London”. Bottoms of barrels are stamped with London black powder proofs and barrel flats are stamped with London nitro re-proofs for 2 - 1/2” chambers, along with the aforementioned Purdey trademark and “C”.

E.” Interior is lined in burgundy cloth and has reproduction Purdey label along with new charge card with specifications for this gun, in lid. Case contains a round Purdey marked oil bottle. CONDITION: Very fine, as refinished, many years ago. Barrels retain 80 - 90% good quality re-brown, most likely applied at time of re-proof. Action retains approx 60% newer London case color, engraving slightly softened. Blued parts retain most of their blue. Stocks retain most of an old oil refinish over some light marks with many minor subsequent marks. Checkering is somewhat worn. Bores are very fine to excellent, slightly frosted at breech ends.

This spectacular revolver has 5” barrel, brass pin front sight, one line “New-York U.S. America” address with silver plated brass grip frame and large trigger guard with a wonderful one piece ivory grip. Revolver is high-polished blue and color case hardened and engraved in Gustave Young deluxe patterns consisting of full coverage on the frame and hammer, consisting of foliate arabesque patterns which extend over the barrel lug and barrel with full coverage on the rammer pivot.

The edges of the box, where pages would normally be, are covered in gold foil, most of which is missing on the top edge.

Wilson, noted Colt historian and author, this is the only known such book casing. Interior is blue velvet lined with recesses in the bottom for the revolver, a wonderful one sided “COLTS PATENT” flask with silver-plated collar, thumb pad and spout, a deluxe high-polished two cavity steel mold with “COLTS PATENT” sprue cutter, a lacquered tin of Eley’s caps and also includes a packet of combustible cartridges and an L-shaped short nipple wrench.

The fair was held for the Sanitary Commission in order to raise money for their work supplying clothing and supplies to Union soldiers in the Civil War. This revolver is pictured in full color, two exposures, on page 54 of “Fine Colts The Dr. Joseph A. Murphy Collection”, Wilson.

253 - (A) COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER ONCE BELONGING TO FAMED LAWMAN WYATT EARP (1890). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 133674 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4” FFL Status: Antique Colt Factory research letter on this revolver states that serial number 133673 was shipped July 3rd, 1890 to Hartley & Graham in New York, in caliber .45, 4-3/4” barrel, stocks not listed which would usually indicate standard hard rubber. The name “Wyatt Earp” needs no introduction. There have been more books and movies made of Wyatt Earp than any other personage of the Wild West, more recently the movie “Tombstone” starring Kurt Russell was one of the most popular Western movies of all time, telling the story of Earp in Dodge City with his brothers taking on the McLaury’s and the Clanton’s in the most famous Western gunfight of all time. With his companion Josephine Marcus, he moved to California where he ran saloons and gambled prior to his Nome, Alaska adventure in 1899. When he returned from Alaska he lived the reminder of his life in Los Angeles, passing away on January 13th, 1929. During Earp’s time as a Sheriff in Dodge City, the famous Bat Masterson was one of his deputies. Masterson’s favorite weapon was a 4-3/4”, .45 caliber, nickel plated with rubber grips ordered personally with an extra high front sight. He placed 246

www.MorphyAuctions.com | October 30, 2018

orders for more than one of these revolvers during his lifetime and is well documented, so it is no surprise to find this exact type and finish revolver in the hands of Wyatt Earp during the 1890’s. It should be noted that the rubber grips on this gun are the old eagle variety, which began to phase out in 1880 but old stock was used for years afterwards. The name “WYATT EARP” is scratched at the inside base of both grip panels. The lineage is extensive and concrete as it stayed within the Earp family until finally sold by Gale Earp, son of George Earp, first cousin to Wyatt. The gun finally leaving the family to a Joplin, Missouri gun dealer O.B. O’Ferrell who in turn sold the revolver to David Hall about 1977 to 1978. Lineage is as follow: Wyatt Earp to first cousin George Earp (d. 1960), whose son Gale Earp inherited the gun at that time and kept it in the family until he finally sold it in the 70’s to O.B. O’Ferrell, who sold it to Leon Sinn in 1976 who in turn sold it to David Hall in 1977-78. David Hall auctioned it threw Tom Keilman Auctions in May 1999. This revolver is accompanied by a plethora or information including an article by David Hall in the Fall 1990 Texas Gun Collector that features this revolver, its story and other Earp items owned by Hall; numerous paper article cut-outs from Pella, Iowa from 1958 where Earp once lived; copies of photos of Sheriff Gale Earp standing next to Marshall Ralph Hooker; notarized letters from Gale Earp dated 1974 where he lists this gun by serial number, signed in front of a notary public as selling it to O.B. O’Ferrell in 1974. There is a letter from Marshall Ralph Hooker that states “I have known the Earp’s for many years, George Earp, US Marshall (Wyatt’s first cousin) who worked with Wyatt Earp in Kansas, was a very good friend of mine. I have known Gale Earp of Cartridge, Missouri for many years...the .45 Single Action Colt No. 133674, which belonged to O.B. O’Ferrell when he last saw it was once owned by Wyatt Earp. Having known Gale Earp for so long, one can be sure that the .45 he sold to Mr. O’Ferrell is no doubt the one which Wyatt owned”. Martial Hooker signed this affidavit in 1978. All of these letters refer to Wyatt Earp’s revolver with correct serial number. This would indicate that this revolver was in the Earp family from time of purchase until 1974. CONDITION: The cylinder retains traces of original nickel. Barrel and ejector rod housing retains 75-80% original factory nickel. Frame retains approximately 75% nickel with loss to forward section. Frame has three line patent date. The grips are excellent to near mint, fit tightly, matching edges of metal with just a touch of shrinkage; appear to have been on the gun and are on the gun in every enclosed photograph and documentation. Indexes and locks up like a vault. Strong, clean rifled bore with no abrasions. A wonderful piece of American Western history owned by one of the most famous lawmen of all time who had direct family documentation. A unique opportunity to own one of Wyatt Earp’s standard guns. 75,000 - 100,000

254 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (NETTLETON INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 48269 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Colt factory letter states Serial No. 48269 was sent to US Government July 12th, 1878 in a 100 gun shipment. John Kopec letter of 2012 authenticates this revolver with Ordnance inspector Captain John E. Greer and sub-inspector Henry Nettleton. Historically, he could not locate this revolver in the National Archives. He surmises that the excellent overall condition of this revolver, that this was probably sent to a state militia unit and escaped the recall of 1893; that is simply an interpretation and cannot be verified in fact. He further states that this revolver is so nice, having been fired, but ever so slightly during its militia service. He states the grips are original and concludes “the overall original condition of this revolver remains very nice.” The “HN” Nettleton stamp can be found under barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap, hammer, bottom of right grip panel and cylinder. The right grip panel has a strong cartouche “HN” in oval for Henry Nettleton. Left grip panel is dated 1878 and has the inspector stamp “JEG” for John E. Greer. CONDITION: John is also correct when describing the outstanding condition of this rare Nettleton revolver. Barrel and housing retain approximately 70% original factory blue. Cylinder retains flashes of blue on flats, the majority of blue in flutes; balance a pleasing plum patina. Trigger guard retains 60% or better original blue with typical candy striping. Backstrap is basically patina with generous blue at top. Case colors on frame and hammer are prolific, some quite bright, with a minimum of 80% coverage. Every screw head is perfect, retaining the majority of the high polish nitre blue finish with a superior amount of original finish applied in 1878 and never touched. This particular revolver locks up like a new gun. A phenomenal survivor. 32,000 - 44,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 17443 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This fine condition revolver, according to Kopec, serial no. 17443 was sub-inspected by Johnson who worked in Colt’s file shop. “The revolver is a new listing to our survey and falls between No. 17434 and 17448”. Manufactured in 1875. Kopec concludes this revolver is authentic in every respect with the exception of 1.) the finish of the top strap has been gone over with fine emery paper; 2.) the trigger guard strap has been drilled for a stock pin. Cartouche on left grip bears the initials of A.P. Casey who inspected this revolver in 1875. Left side of frame is stamped “US”. Barrel is stamped with “T” and “P”. Slant one line barrel address and two line patent on left side of frame. CONDITION: The barrel and housing retain approximately 50-60% blue finish, blending with homogenous gun metal grey and some minor age freckling at muzzle and right side of barrel. Frame retains approximately 30-40% original case colors, some bright. Cylinder retains approximately 50% original blue. Straps retains flashes of original blue in spots. Visible inspector stamp is a “J” at back of backstrap. All screws are fairly sharp to sharp. Grips are excellent. Indexes and locks up like new. Strong visible rifling with slightly frosted grooves. One of the best condition Colt Cavalry revolvers we have seen. 32,000 - 44,000

256 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (LOUIS INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 16338 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique

According to Kopec, revolver No. 16338 was manufactured in 1875 and in his opinion the grips appear to be from another 1875 revolver. A few of the guard screws are replacements. Cylinder is the early type with small notches and approaches, and flute inlets are partially beveled. Inspector marks include “P” and “T”. This revolver represents an extremely scarce variant of the Colt Cavalry revolver, the Ordnance sub-inspector who used the initial “L” was S.B. Louis and worked in conjunction with A.P. Casey at the Colt plant. The remnant cartouche is that of A.P. Casey, and his tiny initial “C” may be found on the right butt of this revolver. John goes into observations about the broken “T” on the barrel address, showing serial number range of broken die. His final comment is that there are only about a dozen recorded “L” Ordnance sub-inspector revolvers known to this survey (1988). These were inspected at the very outset of the 1875 series and are the scarcest of the three 1875 sub-inspectors. We have noted the letter “L” to be found on bottom of barrel, backstrap, trigger guard and cylinder. Left side of frame is stamped “US”. The cartouche that Kopec speaks of is visible but not readable if you did not know it was Casey. CONDITION: All metal is basically a smooth, homogenous, clean patina with some flashes of original blue in hidden areas. Two line patent on left side of frame. Indexes with all four distinct clicks. Bore exhibits sharp lands and grooves with a hint of frosting and a couple of very minor black powder abrasions. Super clean, untouched, all original early cavalry with note to grips. 30,000 - 40,000

258 - (A) FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT 1877 LIGHTNING REVOLVER WITH PEARL GRIPS. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1877 Lightning Serial No. 85525 Caliber/Bore: .38 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique According to the factory letter, this handgun was shipped August 28th, 1891 with nickel finish, 4-1/2” barrel in .38 caliber, pearl grips, factory engraved and shipped to W.F. Coole & Co. The main Colt factory engraver was Cuno Helfricht (1871-1921) who worked his entire career for Colt as a contract engraver with his team/shop of up to six engravers. In addition, L.D. Nimschke (1850-1900) was also doing contract engraving for Colt during the period of manufacture. It remains in original factory configuration featuring nearly full coverage engraving. CONDITION: The back of the hammer retains virtually all of the Colt fire blue finish with generous amounts on top of hammer. Generous amounts of Colt fire blue still remains on majority of screws. The cylinder pin head has been marred from use with pliers and could easily be replaced. Overall, this revolver retains 98% or better of the original nickel finish. Pearl grips are near mint with no visible chips. Revolver operates correctly and locks up tight both single and double action. Factory legends are bold. Sight has never been filed. Bore retains sharp lands with bright grooves. Aside from the cylinder pin, balance of firearm is in near mint condition, showing only light wear, most notably on face of trigger. A stunning specimen and great example of Colt master engraving. 20,000 - 25,000

259 - (A) CASED PAIR OF ENGRAVED COLT 1849 POCKET REVOLVERS PRESENTED TO ADMIRAL JAUN WILLIAMS. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1849 Pocket Serial No. (A) 91999, (B) 92005 Caliber/Bore: (A) .31, (B) .31 Barrel Length: (A) 5”, (B) 5” FFL Status: Antique 5” barrels, finely Gustave Young style factory engraved, original full gilt finish, ivory grips, cased in original French style deluxe rosewood casing with brass bound corners and inscription plaque in lid inscribed, “Juan Ro. Williams” as well as on powder flask and backstraps. Both guns features roll engraved stagecoach robbery cylinder scene that is 100% visible. Pistol #91999 remains in good to very good condition showing approx. Full or partial matching serial numbers on frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap, wedge, loading lever and cylinder pin. 35% rich gold gilt, the balance toned to a natural dark brown patina, with very good ivory grips that are slightly shy to metal. the quality of the engraving is excellent showing typical Gustave Young scrolls, dogs, beasts, cobwebs, flowers, hand-cut patent markings and “Samuel Colt” in script on barrel address; approx. 80%-90% darkening silver on backstrap, the inscription probably engraved by Young as it appears to be his hand. Pistol #92005 retains approx. 35% rich gold gilt gone to dark brown patina, engraved similarly to its mate with typical Young scrolls, Colt’s Patent marking and barrel address in script, beasts, flowers, cobwebs, and typical high quality Young engraving and identical inscription as its mate; metal surfaces on the pistol are sharp, ivory grips are very good plus showing some yellowing and slight chips, and are slightly undersized; all matching visible serial numbers. The velvet lined interior is very good to nearly excellent with minor impressions, slight fraying and a slight amount of aging, but definitely original and just showing a minimal amount of natural age; it is interesting that the casing is made in such a way that it would accommodate either a 5” or 6” Pocket, but the wear pattern shows that this pair have always been in this box. The set is cased with an English style bag flask beautifully engraved en suite to the backstrap of the pistols and lid of the case (it all appears to be the same hand), and the flask shows traces of gold gilt that was polished (now a brass patina); brass Colt’s patent marked bullet mold; box is drilled for a nipple wrench (now missing), otherwise complete. The exterior of the box is very good to nearly fine showing select quality rosewood, minor aging, slight checks, cracks, storage marks, etc., but is very good overall and nearly fine with a beautiful grain. It is apparent that the pistols were polished and the gold gilt was fragile, as the metal surfaces on the pistol and flask are very sharp, and the finish has just drifted off from cleaning. Juan Rebolledo Williams, born 1825, died 1910, was a prominent Chilean Naval officer and politician. Currently the only gold gilded and engraved pair of 1849’s known to this cataloger. 20,000 - 30,000

261 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (LYLE/CLEVELAND INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 35529 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The John Kopec letter of 2003 notes “we believe it is 100% authentic in every respect. The barrel address is the second style, grip cartouches are perfect and totally correct. The barrel is not serial numbered and originally fitted to this revolver during manufacture. Several revolvers from within this series are recorded in our survey with either mismatching barrels or barrels without a serial number. This is because of a problem which was encountered during production with the alignment of the barrel to cylinder…to keep production running as smoothly as possibly, the Ordnance inspector, Lieutenant David A. Lyle accepted these revolvers as long as the barrel to cylinder alignment passed his strict gauging (this is a normal occurrence within the JTC series).” Revolver was manufactured in 1877, inspected by David A. Lyle and sub-inspected by John T. Cleveland. Historically this revolver cannot be found in National Archives. John goes on to speculate possibilities. You will find the initials “JTC” stamped on barrel, frame, right grip panel, cylinder. The left grip is dated 1877 and has a clear “DAL” cartouche in oval (David A. Lyle), right grip has “JTC” for John T. Cleveland. Still has early donut head ejector and “US” stamped on frame. Razor sharp legends throughout. All four perfect clicks. Bore exhibits razor sharp rifling, lightly frosted grooves and minor black powder abrasion. Extremely clean, handsome revolver. Early, rare Lyle/Thompson inspected. Colt factory letter simply states Serial No. 35529 sent to US Government, May 13th, 1877 in a shipment of 203 guns. 18,000 - 24,000

262 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (CASEY INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 18704 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique

Kopek notes in his first letter, dated 1984 “The revolver is a good example of an early 1875 issue revolver, which was reissued to the New York Militia 1895.” In regards to this being reissued to the New York Militia “This revolver is listed in our survey as being one of the 800 like revolvers refurbished at the Colt plant especially for service with the New York Militia. These first revolvers were not cut down…but where left at the 7-1/2” length. This particular revolver left the Colt factory (for the second time) on October 18th, 1895. The grips are the original RAC (Renaldo Carr) which were fitted to the revolver in 1895 (thus the original 1875 grips not present)…within this first batch of 800 refinished Cavalry revolvers, a concerted effort was made by Colt to keep the serial numbers matching…we find that the serial number of the backstrap, though found to match the serial number of the revolver proper, does not conform in style and is in a two line format…there can be little doubt that this strap was replaced during time of refurbishing and original serial number of the revolver applied to it at that time…this revolver is a very nice example of a Casey sub-inspected Cavalry revolver.”. John wrote a second letter in 2013 where he addresses serial numbers before and after where he states “Many of the listed examples within in this specific serial number range were issued to the newly reorganized 7th Cavalry after the famous Custer battle. They were issued these new Colt .45 caliber revolvers on October 3rd, 1876, just some three months after the Custer battle. After serving with the 7th Cavalry through many Indian battles, including the Battle of Wounded Knee, these 1875 manufactured Cavalry revolvers were recalled from service and placed into storage. In the case of our subject revolver, the extra digit ‘1’ was added ahead of the existing “8704” on the barrel and cylinder positions. Hammers were refinished with a nitre bright blue finish. Grips were replaced, hence RAC.” In addition the to two Kopec letters, there is a Colt letter which basically states they know nothing. Also includes small postcard from John of April 1983 speaking more of the replaced grips. CONDITION: All legends are sharp. Barrel is basically a smooth, homogenous, clean brown patina. The housing has generous amounts of original blue in recess. Frame shows a hint of color in recesses and pattern still visible. Straps and trigger guard retain flashes of blue. “RAC” is stamped at bottom of right wooden grip panel. Traces of fine nitre blue on hammer. Four distinct index clicks and locks up like a vault. Cylinder is a basic patina with a very distinct drag line and an area of small dents on one cylinder chamber. Cylinder flutes have generous amounts of original blue. Screw heads are generally sharp. Still retains donut head ejector. Small “c” stamped on trigger guard and cylinder. Wood is excellent with the usual minor abrasions. Bore exhibits beautiful mirror bright rifling, sharp and crisp. Very clean revolver that probably rose with the famous 7th Cavalry for nearly 20 years and subsequently ended up in the New York Militia as well. 18,000 - 25,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1855 Root Serial No. 13339 Caliber/Bore: .28 Percussion Barrel Length: 3 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique UNIQUE & RARE 1847 CUSTOM AMES SOLID SILVER & GILT MEXICAN WAR PRESENTATION SWORD TO MAJ. BRADFORD. Unique, rare and unusual custom sword by The Ames Manufacturing Co., one of four ordered by H.E. Baldwin, New Orleans, as listed in the Ames Mexican War Presentation Log. This sword is the one identified as “antique”, ordered Sept. 1, 1847, and priced at $225.00. This sword is of exquisite quality rivaling the swords by Nicholas Noel Boutet from the Versailles Workshop. This wonderful sword was presented to Maj. Alexander Blackburn Bradford for service to the State of Mississippi during the War with Mexico. The sword is extremely unusual with 31-1/4? dbl edged blade with central fuller etched on both sides about 17-1/2? with both sides having foliate arabesque patterns, trophies of arms & flags with one side having the Liberty Cap in a sunburst about the center and the cartouche etched just below the ricasso “Ames Mfg Co / Cabotville, / Mass.”. The other side has an early American eagle facing to its left with a ribbon in its beak inscribed “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and clutching only arrows in its talons. The hilt is of heavy solid silver with raised cast oak leaves, and acorn patterns on each side, emblematic of victory, a braided rope pattern down one edge with foliate & floral patterns on other edge. The integral ferrule at the handguard has foliate decorations around its edge and the turban shaped pommel cap is heavily cast with foliate & floral patterns with a central raised dome which has the sword tang pulled through and peened over. The basket is extremely unusual for an American sword being cup rapier style with dbl foliate quillions and a single tapered handguard 4-3/4? at the handguard that tapers to a point near the pommel. It has decorations chased with flowers & scrolls en suite. The opposite side has a turned down flat panel. The outside center of the handguard is overlaid with a triangular shaped solid gold plaque which is inscribed in period script engraving “To / Major Alexander B. Bradford / of the / First Regiment / Mississippi Volunteers, / FROM THE / Citizens of Marshall County, / Miss.” This rare sword is accompanied by its orig solid silver scabbard with dbl hangers and raised applique foliate arabesque patterns with central medallion of an American trophy of arms and flags. The center of the sword has a raised applique of a large & very detailed trophy of arms and flags including two American flags. Top of the scabbard just below the throat, is beautifully engraved with an early American eagle facing to its right with a half sunburst over its head and clutching olive branches & lightning bolts in its talons. The panel between the hanger and central applique is engraved with battle honors, “Withlacochee(sic) / Monterey / Buena Vista”. The area below the central applique is deeply engraved in foliate arabesque patterns with a bald eagle emerging from between scrolls. The top rear of the scabbard, just below the throat is engraved “MADE / FOR / H.E. BALDWIN / & CO., / NEW ORLEANS / BY / AMES MFG CO. / CABOTVILLE / MASS.” and is surrounded by foliate arabesque patterns. The drag is light with foliate pattern langets up each edge with an oak leaf pattern on the tip. Alexander Blackburn Bradford was born 2 June 1799 in Jefferson County, TN, and died 9 July 1873 in Bolivar County, MS. He fought under Gen. Jackson in the War of 1812; was a member of the Tennessee State Senate in 1837; practiced law in TN & MS; he was a Brig. General of the 14th Brigade TN Militia in the Seminole War where he acquired the title “The Hero of Withlacoochee” (another listing shows him as a Colonel); a Major in the Mexican War in Jefferson Davis’ 1st Mississippi Regiment, serving with distinction, and subsequently a member of the Mississippi State Legislature. When the call to arms came for the Mexican War Mr. Bradford organized a company, the Marshall Guards, and with them immediately went to Vicksburg. When the company voted for officers of their unit Bradford received 350 votes to 300 for Jefferson Davis, however desiring a larger majority Bradford declined the position and Davis was subsequently elected Colonel, with Bradford accepting the position of Major. Little is known of Maj. Bradford after the Mexican War until the outset of the Civil War when he became a delegate from Mississippi to the Confederate Provisional Congress 1861-62. Maj. Bradford was reportedly fearless in battle, rushing up & down the lines at Buena Vista shouting: “My God, can’t one bullet hit me?”. This was in relation to his apparent desire for glory to be acclaimed as Jefferson Davis and Col. McClung who had both received wounds during the battle. Gen. Bradford, not known for his reticence or lack of vanity, after his proposal of marriage was rebuffed by a young lady, was overheard to exclaim, “Well, if you won’t marry Gen. Alexander B. Bradford, who in the hell will you marry?”. This is a sword that is probably one of a kind and belonged to a one of a kind early American hero. Coupled with the rarity of the design makes this a very highly collectible item. It has remained in the lineal descendants of Gen. Bradford, most recently, John Bradford Williamson, who is still in possession of Gen. Bradford’s portrait. CONDITION: Fine. Blade is an overall light gray cleaned patina with strong clear etching and a series of light nicks & scratches near the tip with some fine pitting. Handguard & hilt are sound and retain traces of orig gilt. The solid gold presentation plate on the handguard has a small crack and has been reattached. Scabbard is fine with some lightly cleaned areas over the inscription and engraving and retains 50-60% light gold gilt. Drag shows no appreciable wear. This is an extraordinary custom Ames sword, undoubtedly special ordered by a grateful citizenry for their local hero. From the collection of Jason Roselius. 17,500 - 24,500

Cylinder scene is 70% visible and is basically a blue grey patina that some one has wiped some finish over some light salt and pepper texture. Rifling is fairly sharp with some black powder abrasion. Indexes and locks up like new. When going through the book on Colt Engraving, the scrollwork appears to be the work of L.D. Nimschke, who started at Colt in 1850. The period purple velvet lined walnut case includes a Colt brass powder flask with some minor seam repairs, a blued 44R Colt marked bullet mold, tin of Gold Marks percussion caps, nipple wrench with no finish, conical bullets and a period era box of .44 combustible cartridges. 15,000 - 18,000

268 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (LYLE/DRAPER INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 34366 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Colt factory letter states this gun shipped to U.S. Government Inspector on January 31st, 1877 in a shipment 200 hundreds guns. John Kopec’s letter of 2003 states “This revolver was manufactured during 1877. The Ordnance inspector was Lieutenant David A. Lyle. It was dually sub-inspected by both Lewis Draper (frame) and John T. Cleveland. Two other 7th Cavalry examples are also listed from within this general serial number range. There could therefore be a possibility that the subject revolver could also be a 7th Cavalry example. The Ordnance inspector…had found several revolvers which had a problem with the barrel cylinder alignment. Therefore, some barrels and cylinder are mismatching within this range and/or some completely unnumbered barrels were substitutions. The barrel address is the early Type II without the dashes at either end.” CONDITION: You will find the letters “J”, “T”, “C” and “P” under barrel; “L” and “D” under frame; Grips have been refinished and no longer show any cartouche. “JTC” stamped on cylinder with proof “P”. Gun is basically a smooth, clean, soft grey-chocolate patina. Walnut grips are excellent and slightly shy to metal. All four distinguished clocks. Locks up solid. Well defined bore with a little touch of frosting a couple or corrosion marks. 15,000 - 20,000

269 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (NETTLETON/WHEELER INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 49517 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Colt Factory Letter lists this revolver, Serial No. 49517, as shipped August 12th, 1878 to the US Government in a 150 gun shipment. John Kopec’s letter of 2003 makes the following observations: They could not locate this revolver in the National Archive records; it was manufactured in 1878; Ordnance inspector was Captain John. E Greer and was dual sub-inspected by E.C. Wheeler and Henry Nettleton. Wheeler substituted during the illness of Henry Nettleton, hence both stamps. Purportedly Wheeler served but a few weeks as sub-inspector, he is not listed in the US Military Arms Inspector Mark book and is the rarest and hardest to find of all inspected Cavalry revolvers. John also makes note of the remaining nickel plating of which 10-20% remains on revolver, and that this revolver was a buy-back sold as a surplus militia revolver to an arms dealer who had it nickel plated at the time. The “W” for Wheeler is prominently stamped on the frame, cylinder and hammer. “HN” Nettleton stamped will be found on trigger guard, backstrap. Left side is dated 1878 and has “JEG” cartouche for John E. Greer; the right cartouche appears to be double stamped. All metal that does not have nickel remaining is a soft, pleasing chocolate brown patina. Still has donut head ejector. Three line patent dates on frame, barrel legend with no lines. One frame screw is slightly marred. The rifling is well defined with virtually no black powder abrasion but is overall frosted. Indexes and locks up with all four clicks. No “US” stamp on left side of frame, John’s comment on this is that several of the surveyed “HN” revolvers in this series were never stamped “US”; it clearly shows all government inspectors, leaving no doubt it is a military gun and that it was shipped to the US Government. So you have the non-US stamped anomaly with the rarest sub-inspector. 12,000 - 18,500

270 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (AINSWORTH INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 7563 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This is the earliest US Colt Cavalry revolver of the collection. It was manufactured during 1874, inspected by O.W. Ainsworth and originated from within Lot No. 8 (No. 7528-8652). These revolvers were issued to the 5th, 8th and 9th Cavalries 1874 to 1875. John could not locate this serial number in the National Archives but speculates 5th Cavalry due to the identified revolvers in this range. He also notes that the cylinder is numbered with a partial number “8726” with “C” sub-inspection stamp for A.P. Casey, therefore this cylinder originated from the 1875 manufactured revolver No. 18726 indicating a field mix during the time in service. The grips of this revolver appear to be totally original but could not be removed because of being rusted tightly to the backstrap. Revolver was found to be in non-functioning condition and in need of mechanical repairs with denting to forward area of trigger guard. A cleverly carved dimensional box is carved into the right grip and the left grip has old kill marks which were partially removed. Overall the revolver sports a dark brown, natural patina with traces of military finish. All markings are original except grip cartouches are no longer visible. This revolver has donut head ejector and US stamp on left frame. Ainsworth “A” is fond stamped on the barrel, trigger guard, backstrap. Casey “C” stamp on cylinder. Grips are chipped at toe. Frame screws are slightly marred as is the cylinder release pin. Grips are chipped at three toes. Two line patent address and slanted barrel address with crosses. Front sight slightly shortened. Does not have all four clicks but does lock up and index. Muzzle is slightly rounded from holster use. Bore is surprisingly clean with sharp rifling and just a hint of black powder abrasion. Grips appear to have a few white paint speckles that could easily be removed on left panel. For whatever reason, this revolver comes with a period Slim Jim holster, not maker marked, border tooled and open toe. Back of which also has a few white paint specks which would indicate the holster has been with the revolver a long time and was laying with its back exposed. 12,000 - 16,500

271 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (CLARK INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 55287 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The Kopec letter of 2015 lists this revolver as having been Ordnance inspected by Lieutenant David A. Lyle and during the entire 1880’s period by David F. Clark; he could not locate this serial number in the National Archives. Since this revolver was shipped from Colt’s on April 4th, 1880 he looked for records of shipments from April of 1880, there were no issues until May 24th when the State of Florida received 50 revolvers. In 1881, 1,112 revolvers were issued to various other states. He comments that this fine revolver sports the aging Henry Nettleton barrel address that was on its last leg and was superseded with a die that became standard throughout the 1880’s. This is one of the few revolvers to have the double lines under the “O” of “Co”. The “DFC” stamps of David Clark can be found on the barrel, frame, right grip panel and cylinder. Left grip is stamped “1880” with “DAL” in oval for David A. Lyle. Right panel in rectangle with “DFC” for David Clark. Has the donut ejector. There is still some brilliant blue in housing recess. Barrel is gun metal grey with razor sharp legends. Cylinder has flashes of blue in flutes but is basically a blue-grey patina. Frame is stamped “US”. Screws are near perfect retaining some original nitre blue. Frame colors have darkened out to a grey-brown patina. Nice case colors evident on hammer. Colt barrel legend is sharp with no lines. Indexes and locks up like a vault. Rifling exhibits sharp lands and slightly frosted grooves, but sharp. Screws are near perfect. 12,000 - 16,500

272 - (A) 1ST YEAR PRODUCTION INSCRIBED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER (1860). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Army Serial No. 104 Caliber/Bore: .44 Percussion Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique First year fluted Army with 8” round barrel, German silver front sight and hand engraved “Saml Colt” address. Left side of frame has tiny “COLTS PATENT” and the silver-plated trigger guard and back strap contain a beautiful, solid, one piece ivory grip with the serial number in two places in the back strap channel. The back strap is inscribed in period script “T.K. Jackson U.S.A.”. This revolver was either presented to or purchased by Jackson when still a US Army officer, and carried by him after he resigned his commission and served in the Army of the Confederacy. This being the very earliest model, the outside of the cylinder does not have the patent date or serial number. Serial number is on the rear face of the cylinder between two of the nipples. It also has the serial number on the left side of the rammer handle. It additionally has inspector’s initials “JT” on the butt strap with a “T” on various other parts, including the bottom of the grip. The cylinder was double struck with “TT”. These marks are for the inspector John Taylor, who only inspected 1860 revolvers from 1861-1862. Accompanied by seven page letter by noted Colt researcher, historian and author R.L. Wilson detailing much of the above information. Mr. Wilson speculates that Mr. Jackson was someone of importance or had connections at the Colt plant in order to obtain one of the very first 1860 Army revolvers produced, with the hand engraved “Saml Colt” address and inscribed back strap. Mr. Wilson states that this revolver is a hand-built specimen as were most of the very earliest of each Model Colt revolver. Mr. Wilson thought so highly of this earliest of Models 1860 that he featured the back strap inscription of this revolver in color on page 155 of “The Colt Engraving Book Volume I”, Wilson. Mr. Wilson, in his letter, speculates that this revolver could not have been delivered any later than April 15, 1861 and was likely delivered late in 1860. Thomas K. Jackson was born in South Carolina and appointed to West Point for the Class of 1848. He attended West Point from July 1, 1844 until July 1, 1848, graduating 25th in his class. He was promoted to 2nd Lt. in the 5th Infantry and served throughout the south and southwest, being promoted to 1st Lt. in 1855. He was an instructor at West Point from December 1857 to January 1858 and returned to frontier duty until 1861 when he resigned his commission and joined the Confederate army. It appears that Jackson became a captain in the commissary department under General Albert Johnston where he served at various postings until his unit, under Gen. Buckner, surrendered at Ft. Donelson, Tennessee. Apparently he remained a prisoner until the end of the war, after which he has been shown to have been a farmer and merchant in Gainesville, Alabama after 1866. PROVENANCE: Charles Radcliffe Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching including wedge, rammer, hammer and grip. Metal retains an even light gray patina overall, having been cleaned a long time ago. Cylinder has traces of gold wash in the cylinder stop notches. Four of the six safety pins are intact. Frame retains traces of smokey case colors in the sheltered areas, otherwise is a light gray patina also. Grip frame retains about 80% original silver plating with light pimpling on the butt strap and loose silver-plating with dark patina on the back strap. Grips have a couple of age lines and a very old scratch near the frame and a minuscule chip at the heel. They are a beautiful light “streaky” mellow gold color. Strong bright bore with moderate pitting. From the collection of Jason Roselius. 10,000 - 15,000

PROVENANCE: Formerly in the collections of: Wm Locke; James Ellwood Jones; Leon “Red” Jackson; Dr. Robert A. Bettis; Jason Roselius. CONDITION: (A) Serial number 72263.

274 - (A) HIGH CONDITION EARLY COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER (1875). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 16606 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Are you old enough to remember the Miata craze or the 1973 Dirty Harry Smith & Wesson Model 29 craze? That is exactly the same scenario that Colt experienced when they introduced the Model P Single Action Army revolver. If you add up total production figures of the first three years of Colt Single Action Army shipments to the Government, as opposed to the small amount of arms available to the general public, this scenario created just such a craze, it being nearly impossible to get what many considered the most advanced handgun to ever be offered. It seemed as if everyone wanted one of the new Colt Army’s, but very few made it to the civilian market. When subtracting military orders from total orders, this revolver approximately the second hundred to be sold into the civilian trade in the first two years alone. The vast majority of the civilian revolvers were identical to those being ordered by the Government with the exception of having a better finish and varnished walnut stocks. This revolver was shipped on June 10th, 1875 to Joseph C. Grubb, a large distributor in Philadelphia. The letter lists only the serial number, caliber and finish (blue) in an 18 gun shipment (not necessarily all Colt Single Action Armies). Letter also indicates 7-1/2” barrel length and walnut stocks were standard issue at the time, and their reference to blue finish meant blue and case colored. This example has remained in excellent all original condition. Features six shot, single action, blue and case colored finish, screw-in black powder frame, donut head style ejector, varnished walnut stocks and fire blue screws. One line barrel address, two line left frame patent dates, and the only indication of caliber is stamped “45 CAL” on rear left trigger bow. There is also a small “M” stamped into top of left grip panel, its meaning unknown. Full or partial matching serial number on frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap and cylinder. CONDITION: The barrel is basically a soft, clean patina with an unadulterated front sight. Ejector housing retains 40% original blue, simply blending. Trigger guard has bright blue in protected areas with balance a soft, silver patina. Backstrap has bright blue at base and top. Cylinder has 50% blue mixing patina with bright blue in the flutes. The frame has traces of original case colors and the hammer colors are quite bright. Frame screws retain 80% or better of their high polish nitre blue and remain true, the same can be said for the trigger guard screws; in fact, the only screw with damage is the lock screw for the cylinder pin which had to be taken down every time you cleaned the gun. The beautiful walnut grips retain the majority of their original varnish with usual handling marks and fit with precision. Four full Colt clicks index and lock the cylinder tight. Bore exhibits razor sharp defined lands with somewhat frosted grooves and a minute bit of black powder abrasion. It is extremely difficult to find a civilian Single Action Army from this time frame, it is even harder to find one that appears to be as crisp and unadulterated as this fine example with enough wear to ponder what history has been seen or made by this handgun. An iconic weapon in superb condition. 10,000 - 15,000

275 - (A) HISTORIC LONDON COLT CARVED IVORY-HANDLED MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER (1855). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1851 Navy Serial No. 35594 Caliber/Bore: .36 Percussion Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Offered is an London 1851 Navy Second Model that features the large oval steel trigger and backstrap. Inscribed on the backstrap “1855 Maharaja Yeshwant Rao Holkar”. The carved ivory rips feature the Maharaja on the right side and his wife on the left side. Features the London address octagon barrel, roll engraved Naval battle scene cylinder, all original nipples. British proofs on left barrel flat and on each chamber of cylinder. Revolver features full or partial matching numbers on the frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, cylinder pin, loading lever and wedge. CONDITION: Barrel retains approximately 70% of the original London high polish blue factory finish, balance simply flaked mixing with soft patina. Razor sharp edges and legends. Three safety pins still protrude. Loading lever has traces of case colors, balance soft grey patina. Cylinder retains approximately 60% of the bright factory blue finish. Steel straps are basically gun metal grey. Frame retains approximately 80% original case colors, not brilliant but almost all there. Generous color on hammer. Grips have shrunk slightly, have beautiful color and incredible carvings. Bore exhibits razor sharp lands and grooves. Indexes and locks up like a new gun. Revolver comes with a copy of a story about this gun, along with pictures by Paul C. Mitchell where he discusses the grandson of the original Maharaja Rao Holkar who was still living in the palace when Paul visited. When he first viewed these revolvers, he was visiting the grandson when he first saw this Colt at the armory in the palace in Indore. Paul obtained this revolver through a friend, who was Chief of Bureau of associated press in New Dehli, who obtained the gun from Yeshwant who stated it belonged to his grandfather. Paul spent years pursuing this gun from his friend who was then working in Cuba who eventually sold it to him. Apparently the carvings of the Maharaja and the Maharani were carved by an ivory worker in the old city of Indore. He talks about a case that is no longer with the gun. Apparently the old Armorer that had been in service for the last three Maharajas inscribed the backstrap. This article will be included. The Holkar dynasty was a Hindu Maratha royal house in India. The Holkars ruled as Maratha Rajas, and later as Maharajas of Indore in Central India as an independent member of the Maratha Empire until 1818. Later, their kingdom became a princely state under the protectorate of British India. 10,000 - 15,000

276 - (A) OUTSTANDING FACTORY NICKEL COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER (1881). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 72457 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique It is extremely difficult to imagine that a Colt Single Action Army manufactured in 1881 could survive in nearly unfired condition after nearly 140 years. This factory nickel black powder frame Colt was produced in full factory nickel in 1881 and features full or partial matching numbers on frame, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder and barrel. Frame has three line patent address. CONDITION: Nickel finish has taken on a soft, cloudy appearance and has never been polished. A few usual handling marks on nickel, but very minor. Barrel legend is razor sharp. Inside of chambers show virtually no signs of having been fired. Cylinder shows only light burn from having been fired once or twice. All surface contacts to frame are sharp. Very light drag line. One noticeable are of bubbling and flaking on left side of frame at rear screw, exposing raw metal. Some minor bubbling at left forward part of frame. A few minor freckles and a light flaked area on left side of muzzle. Front sight remains true. Screw heads are sharp. The one piece walnut grips retain most of the varnish with typical wear at base and are slightly undersized by simple shrinkage, which is most likely the case given the otherwise near mint condition of the revolver. Index and lock-up is as new. Bore exhibits razor sharp edges with slightly frosted grooves. This has to be one of the best early, black powder frame Armies extant. This gun was produced at a time on the Western Frontier that every cowboy whose life was on the line and could afford it, wanted the new Peacemaker. There is no factory letter but there should be, for if it was shipped to a Western destination or personage, its value would soar. 10,000 - 15,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: Dragoon Serial No. 43 Caliber/Bore: .44 Percussion Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique After Col, Colt’s 1851 Crystal palace exhibition experience he decided to start additional manufacture of his firearms in England. The first Dragoons were made in 1853 through 1857. This was just in time for the Crimean war and its economic influx into the English economy. It is believed most all of the Dragoon primary parts were manufacture in Harford and fitted and finished in England. Several variations exist either being 2nd model or 3rd model Dragoons with a number of different markings and finishes. this example serial number 43 is a 3rd model with 7 1/2 inch barrel, walnut grips and factory engraving. Cylinder is rolled with the Ranger and Indian scene and is numbered “43” and has rectangular cylinder stops. The barrel is engraved in scroll and vine with flower petals and additional coverage on rammer and bordered at muzzle. Top of barrel is engraved “Colt’s Patent’ and numbered at bottom. The frame is English engraved with the same vine and scroll on both sides and rear of recoil shield. ‘Colt’s Patent” in engraved in a ribbon on left side and is numbered properly on bottom. Trigger guard and back strap are engraved in same manner with typical coverage and are numbered properly as well. English proofs are found on cylinder and left barrel flat forward of wedge. With a total production estimated at 700 the Colt Harford English Dragoons are considered one of the rarest variation of the Colt percussion revolver. Provenance, Former George Vliek collection, former Howard Resnick collection. CONDITION. Very good overall. Gun is a very even plum brown patina with crisp and legible markings. The cylinder scene very strong. All six safety pins are intact on rear of cylinder. All parts are numbers matching with exception of the unnumbered wedge which appears to be a period Colt replacement and is missing wedge spring. One piece walnut grips have no legible number bet are full sized and fit very well and appear to be original to the gun. The hammer screw and the wedge screw are replaced but match the overall finish and condition and are likely period replacements. the bore is slightly dark with very strong rifling. The action is in proper working order. TDW 10,000 - 20,000

Clarke.” He could not find the revolver in the National Archives. There were 1,000 Frank Heath Ordnance revolvers inspected in 1884 in two lots of 500 units, November 7th and December 4th, this gun was included in one of these two lots. In looking over this revolver we find that it is original as far as all markings, in sharp condition having never been buffed or polished. Revolver has been nicely browned over its entire surface. Markings are distinct. Grips display an outstanding example of Captain Frank Heath’s Ordnance cartouche. He further notes that since factory states shipment on January 7th, this was a hold over, or that the new year date stamp in house at the time to stamp “1885”. 10,000 - 15,000

Engraving is all sharp and well-defined, obviously done by the same master engravers as those working for the Colt factory, as some of Colt’s engravers did the engraving on New York shipped guns and the quality of this engraving is on par with any factory engraved Colt of the era. Mother of Pearl grips fit extremely well. Revolver moves forward on fourth click but the timing is dead on.

283 - (A) RARE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY TARGET MODEL REVOLVER (DOCUMENTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Single Action Army Serial No. 128463 Caliber/Bore: .22 WRF Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Extremely rare Flat Top Target with the special elongated grips in caliber .22 WRF and documented in the book “The 36 Calibers of the Colt Single Action Army” by David M. Brown, published 1965. This exact gun is documented on page 193 and 194. The historical background information lists this gun by serial number as having been sold to Purdey & Sons, London, England and shipped on February 20th, 1889 in a one gun shipment with flat top target frame and factory checkered extra long hard rubber grips, in this caliber and barrel length. It was originally shipped in a blue and nickel mixed finish. A drawing of this gun, along with the historical background is on page 193. Page 194 is a copy of a Colt letter dated January 27th, 1964 where the caliber is simply listed as .22, finish is listed simply as blue, stocks are simply “rubber”, frame is simply “target”. Page 193 states there were seven guns total made in this caliber. In the 1989 Colt letter, the listed caliber is .22 centerfire, blued finish and rubber grips. Colt factory letter and the historical background letter information differs as to finish, type of .22, and grips. The gun exists today having been expertly restored to its original type high polish blue finish with fire blue screws and extended grip diamond checkered hard rubber scales. Bottom of barrel is British proofed as well as British proofs at every chamber. Barrel has a Hartford address and features German nickel target front sight, wind-drift adjustable rear sight and black powder frame. Frame has three line patent address. Trigger guard is stamped “.22 CAL”. You will find matching serial numbers on frame, trigger guard and backstrap. Which information of the three different stories is correct? It is definitely a rimfire, one of the letters states “WRF”; two letters indicate no nickel finish, all confirm the target frame and only one mentions the elongated sights. The closest letter is the one found under “Historical Background Letter” from Colt on page 193, which is the only one that mentions nickel as being part of the finish. CONDITION: The action locks up like new and the bore is near mint with sharp lands and grooves. All confirm that only seven Colts were manufactured in .22 WRF. The restoration job was master quality and appears today in near new condition inside and out. There are only a couple of single actions with production numbers fewer than this example and is probably the only one of its kind; a stunning and rare revolver of which there is no other comparison examples extant. 8,000 - 12,000

284 - (A) INSCRIBED NICKEL PLATED COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE PERCUSSION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1862 Police Serial No. 2004 Caliber/Bore: .36 Percussion Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Nickel finish with round barrel, pin front sight and one line New York address. It has five shot fluted cylinder and “COLT PATENT” on left side of frame. Trigger guard and backstrap are brass containing a one piece walnut grip that has the serial number in backstrap channel. Backstrap is inscribed in period script “God Save The Union” and the buttstrap is inscribed also in period script “H.D. Eaton / Hartford Conn”. H.D. Eaton was Horatio D. Eaton of Hartford who enlisted as a Private on April 16th, 1861 and was mustered into Company A 1st Connecticut Infantry and was mustered out on July 31st, 1861. On September 12th, 1861 he was commissioned Lieutenant into B Company 6th Connecticut Infantry. His promotion was effective as 1st Lieutenant on August 23rd, 1861. On April 8th, 1864 he was promoted to Captain and transferred to Company E 6th Connecticut Infantry and was killed in combat May 16th, 1864 at Drewry’s Bluff, Virginia. The 6th Connecticut participated in numerous battles and skirmishes throughout the Civil War and accompanied Sherman’s Expedition to Port Royal, South Carolina where they participated in several battles and skirmishes and moved all the way to Jacksonville, Florida. They returned to South Carolina and participated in the attack on Fort Wagner on Morris Island. In April and May they were in the battle at Petersburg and Richmond with several smaller battles including Chester Station, Fort Darling, Proctor’s Creek and Drewry’s Bluff where Captain Eaton was killed. The unit remained active through the rest of the war and was mustered out August 21st, 1865. This revolver is accompanied by a packet of research material, primarily Captain Eaton’s muster rolls and a reprint of information from the Connecticut Regimental Histories. It also includes an inventory of Captain Eaton’s possessions the day after he was killed, which included a revolver and revolver holster along with personal items. It additionally includes his mother’s application for pension. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching except wedge which is numbered “9692”. Overall retains about all of its original nickel finish with some slight losses on hammer nose and some pimpling on left side of barrel lug. Screws retain strong blue with the hammer screw nickeled. Cylinder retains 95-96% milky nickel. Wedge screw is missing. Grip is sound with oil stain near frame with light handling and use marks and retains about 95% original varnish. Hand is missing otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong, bright bore with light pitting. 8,000 - 12,000

285 - (A) COLT MODEL 1860 TYPE II RICHARDS CONVERSION SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Serial No. 195104 Caliber/Bore: .44 CF Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique Referred to as the Transition Model Type II Richards, found in serial number rage 190000 to 199000, the most visible difference between the type one is that the hammer cuts through the recoil shield and directly strikes the back of the cartridge, therefore there is no rear sight on the recoil shield. This example has all matching numbers on frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap, loading gate and cylinder. Wedge is not numbered. Three screw frame is not cut for shoulder stock. Two line patent address and single line barrel address. The cylinder is rebated and roll engraved with a near perfect Naval battle scene. The hammer, gate and conversion ring on a Second Model is the Richards Mason type. This revolver is in full factory nickel plate with the exception of the case colored hammer. Built with the brass trigger guard and steel frame. CONDITION: Overall gun retains 75-80% original factory nickel with usual handling marks. Razor sharp legends. 75-80% nickel on trigger guard, starting to bubble off. Case colors have dulled on hammer. Walnut grips are slightly shy to metal. Indexes and locks up like new. Strong, defined rifling with a frosty bore. A great example of a late Transition Model Conversion. 8,000 - 10,000

286 - (A) EXTREMELY RARE COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY LONG CYLINDER CONVERSION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Serial No. 55798 Caliber/Bore: .44 RF Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique This gun is covered in depth in the book “A Study of Colt Conversions” by McDowell beginning on page 403. All were chambered for .44 Rimfire with 8” barrels, assembled from obsolete percussion revolver parts and newly fabricated straight round cartridge cylinder. According to the book, the long cylinder revolvers had mixed serial numbers but matching assembly numbers on all major parts. Frame were remachined, some of which had provisions for loading gates, but he states none have been observed. This example does have a loading gate and has matching serial numbers on frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap and cylinder pin. Loading gate and back of cylinder are stamped “29”. Wedge was originally serial numbered “3744” and has been overstamped with “29” as well; so not only does this revolver have all matching serial numbers with exception of wedge, it has all matching assembly numbers as well. Cylinders were newly made. This example was cut for shoulder stock. It is still the opinion of the author that these long cylinder revolvers were not produced at Colt, but were produced my one of America’s larger houses dealing in arms, such as Kittredge & Company, or Schuyler, Hartley & Graham who were capable of machining and gunsmithing and had a supply of obsolete 1868 Army revolvers and parts. The production date of these revolvers is circa 1873-1874. It is estimated that less than 60 long cylinder cartridge revolvers were ever made, with the highest reported assembly number being “56”; in other words, in the world of Colt cartridge collecting, these are the hardest to find of any well-known conversion and infinitely more rare than even the Theur Conversions. This example sports its original nickel finish and is fitted with a pair of ivory grips with a brass trigger guard. Top of barrel has a front sight notch and single line barrel address. Barrel has a flat muzzle and measures 7-7/8” exactly. Backstrap has a military inspector stamp present. CONDITION: Barrel and ejector rod retain 75-980% nickel, blending with patina and some age freckling. Frame retains approximately 70% original nickel plating, balance evenly blending. Razor sharp legends. Trigger is nickel plated. Hammer is basically grey. The brass trigger guard retains 75% original nickel plating. Steel backstrap retains 50% original nickel plating with some flaking. Cylinder is a 50/50 even blend of nickel and grey patina. Ivory grips are a deep off-white color, slightly shy at toes, but in excellent condition. Indexes and locks up perfectly. Bore shows distinctive rifling but does have some black powder residue. When one refers to the handguns that really won the West, it was the early cartridge conversions manufactured after the Civil War that could be purchased at a fraction of the price of the new Colt Model 1873; this is evidenced of the myriad of original photographs in which conversions are proudly displayed, therefore the survival rate of a conversion of which less than 60 were ever manufactured is extremely small and it is our opinion this is one of the finest surviving examples extant. If one truly wants to collect the Colt that really won the West, collecting conversions offers enough challenges to keep the collector hunting for examples for the rest of his life. A truly exemplary and rare revolver. 8,000 - 10,000

287 - (A) COLT MODEL 1860 LONG FLUTE CONVERSION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Serial No. 4607 Caliber/Bore: .44 CF Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique Offered is another Colt conversion rarity along with the Long Cylinder and Theur Conversions, this is a long flute, centerfire conversion Colt Model 1860 Army. If one questions the rarity, we have included the original ad from when this gun was sold by Collector’s Corner of Albuquerque, New Mexico in their August 1958 advertisement, they write “Richards Conversion full fluted cylinder Army. Yes, seeing is believing. No. 4607, floating firing pin, no finish but no pits, a nice clean piece. $1,250”. In that same ad, they have a 15% blue Henry at $435 and a 75% Model 1866 Winchester at $195; just to show how rare and valued this gun was nearly 60 years ago this month. This gun has matching serial numbers on frame, barrel, brass trigger guard and steel backstrap. Loading gate has “2327”. Wedge is not marked. Fluted cylinder is not numbered but does have the patent date. This is correct as the serial numbers in this range were numbered on the back of the cylinder which would have been cut off in the conversion process) It is a Richards style conversion with one piece walnut grips. CONDITION: Basically all grey patina with razor sharp legends. Grips are slightly shy to metal. Brass shows no signs of plating. The patina on cylinder matches the balance of gun perfectly. The majority of screws are marred. Gun indexes perfectly. Strong, defined rifled bore with frosting and light black powder abrasion. We can find no other photographed examples of the long flute conversion in McDowell’s book on conversions. This is a true conversion that is probably one of a kind and manufactured using a leftover long flute cylinder. Probably a once in a lifetime find. 8,000 - 10,000

288 - (A) RARE COLT MODEL U.S. 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH CANTEEN STOCK (1857). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1851 Navy Serial No. 79446 Caliber/Bore: .36 Percussion Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This is an early fourth model with the small iron round trigger guard and iron backstrap. The U.S. made Colt 1851 Navies that were fitted with iron trigger guards and backstraps differ from other fourth model Navies. Proper enlarged lug cutout on the right side of barrel. A similar revolver can be seen on page 81 of the book “Colt 1851 and 1861 Navies and Conversions,” by Jordan and Geri. The author states “Because of the differences, I feel that iron tg models should not be classified as third or fourth models. They deserve a classification of their own, I have seperated them into U.S. made Navies with ‘si’ (small iron) and ‘li’ (large iron) trigger guards. This chapter will only deal with the small iron tg (trigger guard).” This falls into the batch of numbers listed in this book 78500 to 80200. The address on this barrel is the early Hartford address which started around serial number 74628, which is cut for a third model stock. The front sight is the rare factory one piece dovetail, generally found in the 74000-79000 range. Third model stocks were used in the 72000-80000 range. The frame is not stamped U.S., rather there are military inspector stamps. There is an “M” on the left rear trigger guard. There is a number “2” on the left barrel flat for shoulder stock. In addition, a lanyard ring is fitted to the trigger guard between serial number and guard. Gun sports the standard 1 piece varnished walnut grips. This revolver has the standard 7 - 1/2” full octagon barrel. The cylinder has the typical roll engraved naval battle scene. You will find full or partial matching serial numbers on the following: frame, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, cylinder pin, loading lever, barrel, and wedge. Cylinder has all the original nipples, safety pins are flush, naval battle scene is completely visible. Cylinder has turned a grey-brown patina. Barrel has the Hartford address and is basically a soft homogeneous patina with sharp legends and edges, even the forcing cone has some original blue and there is ample bluing on the base of the barrel. While outwardly the loading lever is brown patina, there is some bright case colors on the protected underneath area. The frame is cut for shoulder stock with the two factory extension pins and there are bright case colors where the shoulder attachment protected them, as well as on the right shield cutout. The straps are basically a chocolate brown patina. Revolver indexes and locks up like new. The bore is exceedingly clean with sharp lands and clean grooves. The one piece walnut grips are excellent, perfectly fitted, with wear on both top sides from shoulder stock attachment. The accompanying stock is one of the rarest of all accessories. Most collectors have never even seen one. It is original canteen stock and still has the original small brass chain attached to the removable lid of the canteen which rests inside the buttstock. The wrist attachment and buttplate are both made of brass. The serial number on lower tang and upper buttplate is 79451. When removing the clamp bar, you will see the matching serial number 79451. There are two sling swivels, one attached to the lower tang, and one attached to a special plate on the stock. The screws retain generous amounts of their original high polish blue finish. The locking lug is made of steel. The stock itself is in excellent condition, proud to metal, with usual dings but complete. Serial number of the stock is a mere five numbers off the gun. There is an entire chapter devoted to Navies with stocks (19) beginning on page 229 which shows three canteen stocks. Figure 19-4 is a third model canteen stock. Figures 19-2 and 19-3 show the sling swivel attachment on the handgun itself. The first and second model canteen stocks show two slings on the stock, while the third model pictures has only the rear sling. Colt developed and marketed the canteen stock in 1858. The authors state “Almost all stock navies have iron trigger guards and backstraps.” (Page 230). The book lists the serial number ranges for shoulder stock Navies 71900-80500, stating most in the 78000 block have canteen stocks. Between serial numbers 79000-80000, Colt lists 25 shipped with canteen stocks. On page 235 they state with regards to lanyards on navies with third model stocks, almost all have a lanyard on the trigger guard and most stocks have two lanyards. The canteen Colt stock is one of the legendary attachments ever produced by that firm. While numbers do not match, they are close enough to have been sent in a lot of canteen stock guns. Given that of the 1000 revolvers, Colt only listed only 25 canteen stocks, and the survival rate of keeping them with the revolver in the time period, pre-Civil War, makes them extremely scarce and desirable. This is a great example of a Canteen Stock Martial 1851 Navy and the mythical canteen stock. 8,000 - 12,000

295 - (A) COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY CONDEMNED CALVARY REVOLVER (1878). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Single Action Army Condemned Calvary Serial No. 35231 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Accoridng to the factory letter this gun was shipped on May 25th, 1878 to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham in a 50 gun shipment in .45 caliber with blued finish; stocks and barrel length not listed.

297 - (A) US COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC LETTER (STANHOPE/CARR INSPECTED). Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 134272 Caliber/Bore: .45 Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique In the Kopec letter dated 2015, John offer’s the following observations: this revolver was manufactured in 1890; the Ordnance inspector was Captain Stanhope E. Blunt with Renaldo A. Carr as sub-inspector. He could not locate this serial number in the National Archives and surmises the majority of these late Cavalry models that have survived as all original was that they were issued to states militia units from 1890 through 1895. Others were never issued from the Arsenal. The subject revolver shows considerable, honest wear, indicating a working gun either by the US Cavalry or by a cowboy. He noticed the tiny initial “K” in four locations for Mr. A. Kind, a Colt factory employee working on military contract revolvers 1890 to 1891. He notes that the Ordnance inspector cartouche has worn from grip but they are correct and serial number is written within backstrap channel. He determines the revolver retains a natural blue-brown patina throughout with no evidence of buffing with some deep rust pitting on the periphery of the cylinder. This revolver has the three line patent address on frame with “US” and new style ejector head. Barrel legends are sharp. Walnut grips are excellent, slightly chipped at left front toe and short at right. RAC stamp is found on barrel, frame and cylinder. The letter “K” is stamped on trigger guard, backstrap, end of ejector housing; cannot find the fourth “K” without tearing gun apart which we did not do as it has already been stripped once. There are flashes of blue in recesses but gun is basically a soft, homogenous grey-brown patina. Frame screws are fairly sharp with the exception of forward trigger guard screw. Left side of grip has three kill marks. Indexes and locks up like new. Barrel has strong rifling, sharp lands and grooves, and is quite bright. A fine example of the last of the US Cavalry Single Action revolvers. 7,000 - 10,000

298 - (A) CUSTER ERA COLT SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER (1874). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Single Action Army Serial No. 4388 Caliber/Bore: .45 LC Barrel Length: 6 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This is an extremely interesting revolver. Falls directly into the sixth lot which saw shipments to Custer’s 7th cavalry and the 1st Cavalry. Has the two line patent date on frame with “US”. Full or partial matching serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap and cylinder. It is Ainsworth inspected on the cylinder, barrel, trigger guard and backstrap. CONDITION: Razor sharp barrel legends. Metal is all grey patina. Unfortunately the barrel was period shortened by 1” as evidenced from the fact that the crown is rounded from riding in a holster. Brass sight was reset. The one piece walnut grips have had a toe repair, very well done. Cartouche is no longer visible on either side. Inside grip channel does not have a pencil number. All proper era parts for Custer era gun. Screws are basically true. Has an old museum collection tag hanging from it. All four Colt clicks. Well defined, sharp rifling with minor abrasion. An extremely historical gun that could have been with the 7th Cavalry. Barrel was definitely shortened in the period given how much wear is visible on the muzzle. One could have the barrel stretched but it would take away from the history of the revolver as is. Wonderful piece of Western history that was carried by someone for years after the battle. 7,000 - 9,000

300 - (A) CASED & ENGRAVED ID’D COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE PERCUSSION POCKET REVOLVER (1861). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1862 Police Serial No. 3240 Caliber/Bore: .36 Percussion Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Silver finish with round barrel and tiny dovetail front sight with one line “METROPOLITAN ARMS CO NEW-YORK” address. It has five shot fluted, rebated cylinder with safety recesses on the lands between the nipples. Silver plated brass trigger guard and backstrap contain a one piece smooth ivory grip. Only about 2,750 of these revolvers were produced in the period 1864-1866, and of that total only about 1,600 had marked barrels. Obviously only a minute portion of that small number were cased and even fewer were engraved and plated, making this a truly rare specimen. These revolvers are almost identical to the Colt Model 1862 Police with the exception of the rammer, which on this revolver is articulated, in two pieces with the Colt Model 1862 rammer of the rack and pinion type. Engraving is by master engraver L.D. Nimschke and consists of full coverage foliate arabesque patterns on the frame with several scrolls terminating in flower blossoms. Engraving extends over the sides of the barrels and terminates in front of the address, with matching engraving on the rammer pivot and lands between the flutes on the cylinder. Top of the back strap has Mr. Nimschke’s typical fan pattern with matching foliate arabesque patterns down the back strap, on the buttstrap and trigger guard. Hammer also received his deluxe treatment of foliate arabesque pattern on the sides with fish scale patterns on the sides of the spur and top edge of the hammer, with highly detailed wolf’s heads on each side of the hammer nose. Accompanied by its original burgundy velvet lined mahogany casing compartmented in the bottom for the revolver, double sided flask with foliate pattern, a two cavity blued steel Manhattan Arms marked mold with sprue cutter, L-shaped nipple wrench, an open packet of five combustible cartridges and a lacquered tin of Ely’s caps. Case has a mortised brass lock in the front edge with the locking tang removed and is loose in one compartment. Accompanied by a large volume of research material compiled by the consignor and his family regarding the provenance of this revolver and his family history as relates to the famous scout Kit Carson having given this revolver to Lt. E.F. Beale and its descendancey down to the consignor. That Lt. Beale and Kit Carson were close personal friends is of absolutely no doubt and it is well documented that Mr. Carson also gave Lt. Beale his Hawken plains rifle which Lt. 284

Beale’s son, Truxton, presented to Theodore Roosevelt who in turn presented it to the Boone & Crockett Club where is it currently on display. Edward Fitzgerald Beale was born Feb. 1822 in Washington, DC into a military family and, through family connections was appointed to the Naval Academy by President Andrew Jackson, graduating in 1842. In October 1845 as acting sailing master of the frigate Congress under the command of Commodore Robert Stockton, he sailed for California, but 20 days out Stockton dispatched Beale back to Washington with important dispatches, reaching Washington in March 1846. He was promoted to the grade of Master and in May of 1846 overtook and rejoined the “Congress”, reaching Monteray, California on July 20. By that time the war with Mexico had begun and Commodore Stockton dispatched Beale to serve with the land forces. He and a small body of men under Lt. Archibald Gillespie joined Gen. Stephen Kerney’s column just before the disastrous Battle of San Pasqual on December 6, 1846. The Mexican army had surrounded the small American force and threatened to destroy it when Beale, Kit Carson and his Delaware Indians servant crawled through the Mexican lines and made their way to San Diego for reinforcements, which saved the American force. Over the next two years Beale made six or seven more journeys across country frequently in company with Kit Carson, carrying dispatches and along with Kit Carson brought proof to the federal government of the discovery of gold in California. Beale resigned in 1851 and returned to California as the manager for a company owned by Commodore Stockton and a Mr. Aspinwall, in the new territory. Beale became superintendent of Indian affairs for Calfornia and Nevada and later surveyed the route for the Trans-Continental Railroad. In 1856 he was appointed Brigadier General of the Calfornia state militia. In 1857 President Buchanan appointed Beale to survey a wagon road from Ft. Defiance New Mexico territory to the Colorado River. That survey also incorporated the experimental use of camels in crossing desert regions. The camels performed well but they scared the horses and mules so the army abandoned the experiment. Descendants of those camels still roam the Arizona desert today. In 1861 President Lincoln appointed Beale surveyor General of Calfornia and Nevada. After the Civil War Beale retired to Rancho Tejon, part of the 270,000 acres he had acquired near present-day Bakersfield, California and later purchased the Decatur house in Washington, DC. In 1876 President Grant appointed Beale minister to Austria-Hungary, a post he held for a year. Grant also suggested Beale to be Secretary of the Navy under President Arthur, but President Arthur preferred someone else. Beale died at the Decatur house in April 1893. Accompanied by a book which is inscribed to “Harold Marsh Sewall from his friend Truxton Beale”, which is a biography of Lt. Beale, Edward Fitzgerald Beale, A Pioneer in the Path of Empire 1822-1903, Stephen Bonsal published in 1912. According to a signed and notarized statement from the consignor, this revolver was given to Lt. Beale by Kit Carson who then passed it to Mr. Y.S. Walter who founded the Delaware County Republican newspaper in Chester, Pennsylvania who then passed it down through his granddaughter’s family, the Stiner’s where in about 1960 it was given as a gift from Marie Stiner to consignor’s father, Wendell G. Shaw (1925-1988), from whom the consignor inherited it. Both the Walter’s and the Beale’s had a long family history in Chester, PA and were involved in Republican politics at the same time. Also accompanied by a very old and brittle yellowed piece of paper about 9” x 4-3/4” which bears the handwritten in ink historical information “owned by Kit Carson; the great scout / Presented to Lt. E.F. Beal —– Presented to the Hon YS Walter —– Who was the grandfather of my wife / Now the property of Edw. Stiner”. Also accompanied by an 8” x 10” b/w photo of consignor’s father displaying this revolver and case. The same photo appears in a newspaper clipping from the Portland Press Herald of March 28, 1964. Beale Air Force Base in CA is named after Lt. Beale. CONDITION: Revolver is fine to very fine, all matching except grip which is unnumbered. Barrel retains 75-80% strong original silver plating with the loss areas a medium to dark patina. Frame, cylinder, hammer and grip frame retain most of their original silver plating, somewhat thin and oxidized on the cylinder. Grip is sound showing little or no wear and retains crisp edges and a beautiful mellow ivory patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with fine pitting. Case has a couple of grain checks at the bottom, otherwise is sound with usual handling and storage marks and retains most of its original varnish. Interior is moderately to heavily faded with moderate soil in the bottom with damage from the front sight and hammer spur. Flask has a few minor dents, otherwise is sound with a dark brass patina. Mold is very fine, retains most of its original factory blue. Cartridge packet is soiled and missing top. Cap tin is very fine. From the collection of Jason Roselius. 6,000 - 8,000

307 - (A) RARE SHOULDER STOCK CUT MARTIAL COLT MODEL 1851 NAVY PERCUSSION REVOLVER (1857). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1851 Navy Serial No. 79369 Caliber/Bore: .36 Percussion Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This is considered a late Third Model with the enlarged beveled loading cut-out. Has the Colt factory dovetail sight that first appeared on the Third Model. Hartford address on barrel. This Navy falls into the last batch of US Navies between serial number 78500 and 80200 with the small iron trigger guard. Most small iron trigger guard US Navies after serial No. 72624 have the Hartford barrel address. This example also has the rare shoulder stock cut out on backstrap with the lanyard loop mounted in front of trigger guard; only 275 of these models were manufactured for shoulder stocks according to the book on Colt 1851 and 1861 Navies by Jordan and Geri. This Martial pistol does not have the US stamp on frame, simply Colt’s patent. This is considered a Navy-Army with a serial number that falls in between the early purchases and late purchases, and also has the Army inspector “K” stamp on left front trigger bow. The book notes a mere 12 Second Model stocked OM Navies. Other features of this rare Navy include a large Naval anchor stamped on right grip (probably not factory), left rear trigger bow has inspector stamp “G” (not listed in book), bottom left side of barrel has a “2”. According to the book, the Army did not buy any stocked ‘51 Navies but the only two inspector marks on the left trigger bow, are “K” and “G”. The front of the cylinder is stamped with the asterisk. Walnut stocks are oil finish but there are no inspector stamps visible. Full or partial matching serial numbers on frame, barrel, trigger guard, backstrap, cylinder, wedge, loading lever and cylinder post. CONDITION: All metal on gun is basically a soft, grey patina. Muzzle is slightly worn from holster. The Naval battle scene on cylinder is strong and 80% visible. Stocks are in excellent condition and proud to metal. Indexes and locks up correctly. Strong, clean bore. This begs the question: if the Army did not buy stocked Navies, and this has an Army inspector stamp and falls between the two Army purchases, was it purchased and simply not recorded or is it a civilian purchase where a gun was built using an Army inspected small iron trigger guard with lanyard attachment to match the buttstock attachment on backstrap? In either case, it is an extremely rare and clean revolver. 4,500 - 6,500

This revolver is basically a standard factory nickel Model 1875 single action revolver in factory nickel plate with two piece walnut grips. These were made from 1875 to 1889. This revolver has mid-to-late-production features such as standard blade front, cone shaped firing pin and caliber stamped on left trigger bow. According to history, Remington at serial No. 12000 reverted back to serial No. 1, it is also known that in January of 1883 Remington accepted a contract and delivered approximately 639 nickel plated guns to the U.S. Interior Department for issue to Indian Police and/or Western reservations. Usual marks on this gun include the “1875” stamp on left grip indicating model not year, and left side of frame is stamped, using individual dies, “U.S.I.D.”. The serial No. 412 is stamped inside both grip panels, inside frame, on back of cylinder and loading gate. Thorough research could not find any other example with the “U.S.I.D.” stamp nor the 1875 on grip. It is unknown if this was a prototype for the original order nor who, what, when or where these markings were applied, although they appear to be contemporary to gun’s manufacture. CONDITION: The one line barrel address is strong. Gun retains 75% or better original nickel finish. Excellent condition indexes and locks up fine with strong rifling, albeit some light corrosion in grooves. With no other matching examples, it is impossible to determine when and by whom these markings were applied. The areas where nickel is not present is mixed with light grey patina. Screws still retain generous amounts of nitre blue. A beautiful and famous revolver that is associated and attributed to the Indian Reservation police. In the Flayderman book, Norm states that how these guns were marked is undetermined. 7,000 - 10,000

320 - (A) US SMITH & WESSON SCHOFIELD REVOLVER ATTRIBUTED TO FRANK JAMES. Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: Schofield Serial No. 5476 Caliber/Bore: .45 Schofield Barrel Length: 7” FFL Status: Antique A total of 5,934 manufactured for the US Government 1876 to 1877. This model was built on the top break frame, improved version of first model. Left grip appears to have matching number. Right panel also has a number but is hard to read and does not appear to be 5476. Left grip appears to have a small “F.J.”. “US” stamp on bottom of butt. “5476” and “P” stamped on back of cylinder. CONDITION: All legends are sharp. Strong, clean rifled bore with distinct lands and grooves. Cartouche on left side of grip is visible but not readable. All metal is gun metal grey with a freckled barrel. Traces of color on hammer. Indexes and locks up correctly. All left frame screws are slightly boogered. Grips are excellent and slightly shy to metal. This gun has been attributed to Frank James and accompanied by a State of Minnesota affidavit sworn by Carroll A. Ray, eldest grandson of P.G. Carroll, in 1953. According to Philip Gregory Carroll, he witnessed the robbery of the First National Bank of Norfield, Minnesota. At approximately 2pm on September 7th, 1876 he was standing on the hotel veranda when the robbers poured out of the bank and gunfire erupted in the street. After approximately one minute of shooting, several of the robbers fled on their horses and rode out of town, with Mr. Carroll witnessing a tall mount drop a revolver while mounting his horse. Mr. Carroll then retrieved the Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver. All but two of the gang were able to escape. Paperwork appears to be parchment paper. Aside from the “FB” on grips and affidavit we have no other way to determine validity of letter. It was the type of gun favored by Frank James. Nice Second Model with purported history. Previously sold in a Julia’s auction; it is worth between $3,000 an $5,000 dollars as a Schofield revolver and the value added by this singular piece of paper without any further substantiation is strictly subjective as we do not feel the presented evidence is enough to completely verify the history as it is currently presented, but it is a great gun nonetheless and offers a very interesting story. 6,000 - 8,000

323 - (A) DOCUMENTED CASED PAIR OF DUELING PISTOLS BELONGING TO PRESIDENT JAMES MADISON. Manufacturer: Unknown Model: Dueling Pistols Caliber/Bore: .49 Barrel Length: 9 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This pair of pistols originally belonged to the fourth President of the United States, James Madison. James Madison was in office between March of 1809 and March of 1817. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. A notarized letter from Routh Smith Crowell accompanies these pistols. Routh is a direct descendant of Francis Madison, brother to President James Madison. She states that the pair of dueling pistols made by A. T. Baxter of Baltimore, Maryland, now in the private collection of William Dykes, was given by President James Madison was given to his favorite nephew, Walton Pembroke Smith. The cased pair of pistols has descended in the Madison-Smith family at Saragossa Plantation near Natchez, Mississippi to the present time. Through the lineage of the pistols, it has been passed on that that they were present (probably as the weapons of the seconds) at the famous Decatur duel. President Madison probably acquired the pistols from Haslett of Baltimore. There are several important pieces of provenance accompanying these pistols, including: A notarized letter on Wm. Dykes Antiques letterhead from Routh Smith Crowell detailing the exact lineage of the pistols and descent through her family; several photographs of Routh and William Dykes with the pistols, taken at the time that she sold the pair to him; A signed description of the pistols and history of them on William Dykes Antiques letterhead; copies of information on maker Arthur T. Baxter and James Madison; photographs of a similar pair by Hazlett of Baltimore; and a large(25” x15”) hand inscribed family tree for the Smith family, beginning in 1701 and ending in 1880, showing the lineage of the pistols, probably done around 1880. On the family tree is a written statement regarding the pistols: “President Madison gave to Walton P. Smith a brace of duelling pistols said to have been used in Barron & Decatur duel.” These dueling pistols belonged to James Madison and and were said be the ones he strapped on when the British attacked Washington in 1814. Family lore also insists that these pistols were present at the famous duel between Decatur and Barron in 1820. Their stocks, locks, and mountings are nearly identical to a pair made by Haslett of Baltimore in 1805. They are silver mounted with gold inlaid bands at on the hooked patent breeches. They have front and rear sights mounted on top flats. Both have set triggers and were converted from flintlock to percussion sometime after 1830. The inset gold 304

www.MorphyAuctions.com | October 30, 2018

lock escutcheon is marked “A.T. BAXTER, BALT.” for Arthur T. Baxter. Baxter was a listed gunsmith in Baltimore, who was known for his high-grade conversions to percussion mechanisms. Many of these conversions were marked by him at the time of conversion, notably a Model 1816 North martial pistol signed with a similar gold escutcheon. He was also a well-known maker of longarms, exclusively, so if he did make these pistols, they would be unique. They were possibly made by Haslett and converted, then marked, by Baxter. President Madison and his wife, Dolly, had no children, but were very close to Madison’s brother, Francis, and his family. Francis’ daughter, Mary Bell Madison, married William Haslett Smith in 1809 and President Madison gave their son, Walton Pembroke Smith, an appointment to West Point in 1828. It was during this period or shortly before his death in 1836 that Madison presented his dueling pistols Walton. Walton fought in the Mexican War and it is likely that he had these pistols, as they show heavy use. Walton, who died in 1866, passed them down to his son, Austin Williams Smith, who fought in the Civil War. Austin (1843-1911) left the pistols to his son, Davidson Routh Smith (1880-1945) and Davidson passed them on to his daughter, Routh Smith Crowell (1913-2010). Routh gave the pistols to William Dykes, as shown in the photographs and affidavit. The case is constructed of West Indies mahogany with poplar as the secondary wood, as typical for furniture in this region. The silver mounted boar’s tusk powder measure was a presentation piece given to Walton from his father-in-law. It is decorated in ink around the opening and inscribed “A. Williams/ To/ W.P. Smith / 1840”. It is excellent condition with a pleasing honey patina. CONDITION: The pistols show heavy use, overall. Barrels retain a dark freckled patina, showing edge wear and scattered marks from use. Locks retain a spotted grey patina and have some wear to maker’s cartouches, one hammer screw a period replacement. Silver furniture retains a grey patina and shows some wear to engraving. Both triggerguard finials have been replaced, but long ago. One barrel key escutcheon replaced. Highly figured stocks show wear to checkering, some marring, and scattered marks from use. One piece professionally replaced on forend of one pistol. Ramrods have their original steel worms and appear to be original. Case is very good, as re-lined with green wool. Exterior with scattered marks from use and some staining. A very important and welldocumented pair of pistols that belonged to a Founding Father! 50,000 - 100,000

330 - (A) AN EXTREMELY RARE AND MAGNIFICENT DUTCH IVORY STOCK FLINTLOCK PISTOL, MAASTRICHT CIRCA 1675 WITH EXQUISITELY CARVED TURK’S HEAD POMMEL. Manufacturer: Dutch Model: Flintlock Caliber/Bore: .50 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 11 - 9/16” FFL Status: Antique According to the late Henk Visser, the greatest of all collectors of Dutch firearms, particularly ivory stocked wheel-lock and flintlock pistols, there are approximately only 100 full ivory stocked Dutch pistols in existence. Henk left his entire collection to the Dutch nation and they are presently on display at the Rijksmuseum. Henk’s friend and mentor, Dr. Arne Hoff, classified Dutch ivory stocked pistols into five categories, the second of which is “Heads with a turban”. Genuine Maastricht ivory stocked flintlock pistols are perhaps the rarest, most spectacular, and desirable of all flintlock pistols. Genuine examples are of the greatest rarity. This pistol is the only one to be sold at public auction in America since the pair, bought by Henk Visser in 1981 from the collection of James Ellwood Jones Jr. (Richard A. Bourne Co. September 23rd, 1981: lot 103, $125,000). The long slender barrel is octagonal at the breech with molded cannon muzzle and remnants of engraving at breech. The convex lock, stepped at the pointed toe, is of characteristic late 17th century Dutch form with a delicate floral engraved reserve held in the mouth of a serpent. The swan neck cock is engraved with a sinuous serpent en suite with the lock. The cock is held by a screw ending in a finely chiseled head. The pan with beaded rim and frizzen molded and stepped. Steel trigger guard chiseled with a reserve on bow and ending in a chiseled leaf. Single steel ramrod pipe well turned. The splendid ivory full stock with pommel featuring a magnificent turban headed Turk superbly carved in the round with long nose, fierce mustache, the lifelike eyes inset with ebony pupils. The hair emerging from the exquisitely rendered turban is as perfectly depicted as the finest Japanese netsuke. There is the characteristic high relief carving of foliage framing the barrel tang and on the fore-end a high relief mythical sea monster with inlaid ebony eyes swallowing the steel tipped ivory ramrod. The barrel with worn engraving at breech and overall smooth gray steel with minor corrosion at extreme end of muzzle. The lock is smooth gray steel with no serious corrosion and crisp engraving. The cock engraving is sharp and the chiseled screw head excellent. The action functions well. The trigger guard is bright and shows minor pitting on bow. The ivory stock displays the expected age cracks throughout as do nearly all genuine Dutch ivory stocked flintlock pistols. The right side of the fore end appears to have been cleaned but is likely all original with imperfections as noted. The carving is in excellent condition and is equal in quality to the finest examples in the Rijksmuseum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. the Irene Aiken collection, and the Herbert G. Ratner Jr. collection. The carving of the turbaned Turk is superb with fantastic 17th century patination. Two leaves of the Turk’s feathers are antique losses and are now well worn over centuries. The ivory ramrod may be a period replacement. This ivory stocked pistol is a magnificent work of art and apart from examples in the Herbert G. Ratner Jr. Collection and a pair of wheel-lock pistols in the Aiken Collection, Dutch ivory stocked pistols are unknown in American collections as Henk Visser bought every one in Theodore Dexter’s Scrapbook and returned them to Holland. Given the current regulations governing import of ivory, this is likely the only opportunity for American collectors to acquire an authentic 17th century Dutch ivory stock flintlock pistol. Provenance: The Estate of Warren Tom Lewis and now offered by the heirs. 25,000 - 35,000

331 - (A) IMPORTANT PAIR OF HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN MADE SILVER MOUNTED FLINTLOCK SAW-HANDLED DUELING PISTOLS BY JOHN SCHIRER OF CHARLESTON, S.C. WITH UNUSUAL RIBBED BARRELS, IN CASE. Manufacturer: John Schirer Model: Flintlock pistols Caliber/Bore: .615 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 11 - 3/8” FFL Status: Antique John Schirer was a gunmaker in Charleston, SC, with estimated working dates of between 1806 and his death in 1828. From these pistols and other examples of his surviving work, it is obvious that he was very skilled and most likely trained in London or Ireland. It appears that he was also a talented silversmith and accomplished engraver, as the work on these pistols is of consummate quality. It appears that these pistols were entirely hand made in America by Mr. Schirer, as there are no proof marks or numbers on barrels or locks, and no hallmarks on silver parts as would be expected on imported components. Stocks are of American walnut cut from the juncture of stem and root for good grain flow. These pistols have 11 - 3/8” .61 caliber barrels transitioning from 2” of octagon at breech ends to round tapering toward muzzles. They are fitted with typical half stock under ribs holding oak or hickory ramrods with brass tips and tails. Innovative and very rare full length top ribs have fluted sides. Top rear portions of ribs are impressed with platinum poincon marked “CHARLESTON”. Small bead front sights are dovetailed through. There are two platinum bands at breech ends, and although it appears that barrels have British type patent breeches, they have hollowed breech plugs with angled side ignition. Touch holes are platinum lined in British style. Nicely engraved breech irons have dovetailed through U-notch rear sights. Locks with full waterproof pans and roller bridled frizzens have rebated tails and reinforced cocks. They are also fitted with back sliding safeties that engage at half cock. Locks are engraved with traditional feather bursts at tails and in front of cocks. “SCHIRER” is in platinum poincon under each pan. Triggers are set and have capstan type adjustment screws. American walnut saw-handled half stocks have green horn tips and fully checkered flared grips. All furniture is of silver including thimbles, and trigger guards with original finger spurs. Trigger guard finials 312

www.MorphyAuctions.com | October 30, 2018

are of traditional pineapple shape, but are engraved with palmetto fronds as fitting for South Carolina made pistols. “SCHIRER” is stamped at grips in area where British hallmarks would normally be found, indicating that Mr. Schirer wanted the world to know that the silverwork was his. Trigger guard bows also have armorial and floral engraving within geometric borders. Bottoms of grips are inlet with large silver ovals engraved with the coat of arms of someone who was most likely very important and is worthy of further study. Arms depict a heart and Templar cross quartered by seven stars on a shield over crossed branches, shield is surmounted by Knights helm capped by a bird all surrounded by scroll. Barrels attach to stocks with captive side bolts through truncated rectangular silver escutcheons. Pistols are housed in an old mahogany case with D-ring handle, and lined in green cloth. Case contains an old handmade turnscrew and some scraps of cloth. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Barrels are smooth, even gray to brown patina with some scattered pitting at right side of breech ends around touch holes. Locks are mostly gray to brown patina. Stocks retain most of their original varnish or French polish finish with numerous minor marks, dings, and rubs. Checkering somewhat worn. Stocks have no noted repairs. Silver is very fine, not rubbed, lightly tarnished, all engraving clear. Bores are mostly shiny with scattered pitting toward muzzles. Locks and frizzens are excellent. Safeties work. Set triggers work. One cock appears to be in exceptionally fine, almost indistinguishable old hand made replacement. This cock also has newer replaced top jaw and screw. Case is expertly cut down from a longer English gun case, and retains most of its original varnish and has a great look. Pistols fit quite well and distressed interior cloth is of the right color. American Flintlock duelers are quite rare; Southern silver mounted examples exceedingly so. It appears John Schirer died at a relatively young age. Judging by the quality of his work, had he lived for another 20 years, he would have been remembered as one of America’s best gun makers. An investment opportunity. MGM47 12,500 - 17,500

Manufacturer: Colt Model: Lightning Serial No. 486 Caliber/Bore: .40-60-260 Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique Only a total of 6,496 large frame Colt Lightning rifles were ever produced. A standard carbine is almost impossible to find and a Baby Carbine is virtually unknown. It is a Baby Carbine due to the barrel diameter being smaller than the tube diameter. Features full round barrel, full magazine, blued finish, single barrel band, singular tube holder, folding ladder rear sight, standard bead front sight, two piece checkered forend, walnut buttstock and carbine butt. CONDITION: This is arguably the finest known example to survive.

Frame retains 75-80% original high polish Colt factory blue with the balance simply a soft grey patina.

Hiram Berdan in collaboration with the Colt factory designed and produced this prototype example for the Russian Government.

With great efforts to avoid the current patent issues of the trapdoor conversions as well as other patents Berdanand the new vice President of Colt General William Franklin worked closely together and called the design “THE BOLT GUN”. This was challenged by patent attorney Henry Resnick. Another design change was implemented and the Colt Trapdoor Berdan Russian rifle was born.to carry on the tradition of Colt”s famed showmanship this 1 of 1 was built with burled walnut stock with a pewter forend tip and white metal semi-crescent schuetzen butt and ornate schuetzen trigger guard. Masterfully engraved by Augustus F. Ulrich the master engraver for Colt’s armory. This rifle was featured on the cover of the “TEXAS GUN COLLECTOR’ in the spring of 2017.

342 - (A) INSCRIBED IRON FRAME 1860 HENRY LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: New Haven Arms Model: Iron Frame Henry Serial No. 165 Caliber/Bore: .44 Henry Rimfire Barrel Length: 24 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique One of the most sensationalized rifles of the Civil War is the Henry rifle. Identified specimens are extremely prized by both collectors and historians alike. This New Haven Arms Iron Frame henry serial number 165 is inscribed ‘5TH, TENN CAV, JULY 27 1862”. Manufactured in 1862 and a believed total production of Iron Frame Henry rifles is between 200 and 275 rifles. Rifle number 165 is documented as a known Iron Framed Henry in Les Quick’s book “THE HENRY RIFLE” it was pictured and briefly mentioned in the book “CIVIL WAR GUNS” by William Edwards in 1965 on page 159. The 5TH Tenn Cavalry had a spirited and active career from 1862 through 1865 with most activities in the Tennessee valley and the adjacent south. Interestingly another Iron Frame Henry rifle serial number 64 was identified to a Confederate Cavalry unit from bowling Green KY known as “Buckners Guides” giving further credence that the Henry rifle was used extensively by both northern and southern troops alike. Henry rifle serial number 165 has the traditional 24 inch octagon barrel with integral magazine and fitted with the early square backed nickel silver blade front sight and 1000 yard ladder adjustable “Henry” rear sight. Fitted with American walnut butt stock with iron crescent butt plate with early large trap and large compartment to facilitate the 4 piece wood cleaning rod. Disassembly revealed that upper and lower tang screws are

326

numbered with the full “165” serial number as well as both butt plate screws. The wood stock is numbered in the mortise “165” as well as the butt plate and lower tang of the rifle. A sling swivel that appears to be from a Sharps carbine has been installed just to the rear of the lower tang and has been elongated for the use of a Civil War carbine snap so a cavalryman would not drop his rifle while mounted upon his horse. Previously held in the Thomas Suter and John Graham collections CONDITION. Very fine with the barrel and receiver having turned a worn dove grey overall. Two line Henry’s Patent address is sharp and legible as is serial number. The elevation slide is missing from the rear sight as most are. The wood stock has numerous small bruises and scratches with a slight amount of material loss at wrist and toe. The finish appears to have been enhanced during the period with the addition of varnish or lacquer. The cartridge follower is a field replacement and is made of iron not brass as the originals were. The bore is worn with darkness in the grooves but visible rifling. The action operates smoothly and functions properly. This early documented Iron Frame Henry is one of the rarest of all Confederate used civil war firearms. TDW 100,000 - 150,000

Temper blue remains on “nipples” and safeties, which are silvered on tips. Trigger guard retains most of its original charcoal blue, most loss due to flaking. Stocks retain nearly all of an old oil light refinish with no evidence of sanding. Checkering lightly re-cut, most evident on forend.

Palmer wrote that the initial 1,000 rifles would be delayed and by February 28th, 1862 no Sharps had arrived. Work was still progressing on April 7th and General Ripley wrote Palmer that the first 1,000 rifles should be shipped to Fort Monroe with the second 1,000 sent to the Washington Arsenal. The Sharps factory shipped the first 100 complete rifles on April 11th, and the remainder in lots of 100. One of John Taylors surviving Ordnance records that he shipped 100 rifles each on April 11th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 21st and 23rd with the first 500 rifles completed by April 21st and the first 1,000 shipped by May 24th. The first shipments of 600 Sharps rifles were delivered to Berdan’s 1st Regiment of US Sharpshooters on May 8th, 1862. The Berdan’s Sharps has several distinguishing triggers, the most obvious being the double set triggers; next is the enlarged lever, absence of bayonet lug beneath barrel, and a punch dot inside the patchbox lid. All were inspected by John Taylor. John Taylor was directed to go to Sharps from Colt on April 7th, 1862 to inspect all of the Berdan Sharps rifles; Taylor took a number of sub-inspectors along with him and together they completed the inspection of the 2,000 gun order by the end of May. Inspector stamp of “OWA” Orville W. Ainsworth, who was one of the three sub-inspectors with John Taylor for this order. There would be a “JT” cartouche on right side of stock but it is no longer visible; even with the “JT” cartouche no longer seen, the “OWA” verifies this group of inspectors on the Berdan rifles. The lowest serial number of an authenticated Berdan Sharps rifle is serial No. 54374 and the highest is No. 57567, which this rifle falls right in the middle of that block. The basis for the Berdan Sharps rifle is the New Model 1859 three band rifle with the distinctive iron patchbox on right side of stock. The rifle barrel is stamped “SHARPS RIFLE MANUFG CO HARTFORD CONN” and “NEW MODEL SHARPS” at breech. Right side of frame has two patent dates, left side has one patent date. Stock is made of walnut. Sights consist of a post front and a Lawrence ladder rear. CONDITION: Barrel retains approximately 90% of its original factory blue with brown patina showing through. Frame and patchbox colors have mottled out. Double set triggers are present but the rear trigger does not set; adjusting screw is present. Walnut stocks are excellent, proud to metal with usual dings. Sling swivels present on middle band and stock. Action works fine. Rifling is well defined and sharp with some minor black powder residue. An excellent example of a true Berdan’s Model 1859 Sharps rifle with all special characteristics falling dead center of the correct serial number block. For more information on this elite group, there is a great book titled “U.S. Sharpshooters Berdan’s Civil War Elite” by Roy Marcot. From the collection of Jason Roselius. 15,000 - 20,000

354 - (A) GEORGE SCHOYEN CUSTOM SHARPS MODEL 1874 SPORTING RIFLE (.32-40). Manufacturer: Sharps Rifle Co. Model: 1874 Serial No. 160095 Caliber/Bore: .32-40 Barrel Length: 32” FFL Status: Antique To most knowledgeable single shot and Sharps aficionados, the name George Schoyen is synonymous with custom single shot target rifles made at the turn of the last century. His handmade barrels were world renowned for their accuracy, and his shop in Denver, Colorado was a beehive of activity. In 1884, the famed Carlos Gove sold his Denver armory to Schoyen and D.W. Butt. In 1887 Schoyen partnered with Fred A. Burgen. By the late 1880’s, the word of Schoyen’s skill reached the European shores. The famed Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley were regular customers. His skill is best remembered for re-barreling and altering fine target rifles. Today, a Schoyen custom Sharps is both rare and desirable as it is considered one of the finest target/hunting rifles of its time. The factory letter states that the standard Model 1874 sporting rifle was shipped on October 4th, 1878 to Charles Stockbridge of Colorado Springs as a .45 caliber 2-7/8” shell, 30” full octagon barrel, double triggers, open sights and oil finished stocks weighing a total of nine pounds. Two identical rifles were shipped to Stockbridge on the same date. It was either Stockbridge or a customer that acquired this gun and took it to Schoyen to improve an already fine rifle. This standard 1874 rifle exists with the following features: full round barrel with collar stamped “Geo. C. Schoyen Denver”, hooded single post front sight, custom elongated checkered walnut forend with Schnabel tip and double mounting screws, pistol grip rear walnut stock with coarse hand checkering and coarse checkered steel shotgun buttplate, original double set triggers, case colored frame. Rifle now bears a period scope made by the Cataract Tool & Optical Co. of Buffalo, New York with mounts of their own design. The finish on the rifle barrel is a smooth, even plum-blue patina with sharp legends. Forend is excellent with double panels of fine checkering. Buttstock is in excellent condition but does have a few dings and there is a slight crack on left and right sides of wrist that could easily be repaired by any competent woodworker. Frame and hammer still retains approximately 70% of the original case colors. Scope is fitted with standard reticle and the company is listed on page 57 in the book “Old Rifle Scopes” by Streobel. Information provided is that the Stevens Arms Company bought the complete business and stock from Cataract Tool in 1901. Bore exhibits sharp lands and grooves that are slightly frosted. Action operates correctly. Comes with invoice of previous owner who paid $20,000 for this rifle in 2007 and had it shipped to London. Original Sharps letter included. 15,000 - 20,000

CONDITION: All steel and iron metal is a smooth, homogenous grey-brown patina with scattered age freckling. Most of the screws are fairly true. Wood is excellent with usual dings but proud to metal in all areas. Fine action. Well-pronounced rifling that is sharp on its edges, dulled grooves and some minor abrasions. 9,000 - 13,000

There is also a large punch mark below the “V” of unknown meaning. The earliest of Springfield 1795 muskets have several distinct characteristics exhibited by this gun, including distinctive upright drooped wing eagle above script “US” forward of cock and “SPRINGFIELD” in arc at tail. Brass front blade sight on front band. Muzzle extension is 2-3/4”. Faceted horizontal pan not integral with lockplate. Convex cock screw head, trigger with high supporting web seen only on the earliest production Type 1, pre-1799 muskets. There is no bbl or buttplate date and less than 3,000 guns were produced 1795 to 1798.

361 - (A) CIVIL WAR ERA WHITWORTH B SERIES .451 HEXAGONAL BORE SHARPSHOOTERS OR TARGET RIFLE. Manufacturer: Whitworth Model: B series Serial No. B678 Caliber/Bore: .451 Barrel Length: 33” FFL Status: Antique During the Civil War, long range sniping came to its fore. The Confederate Army had ordered approximately 250 Whitworth rifles, at a cost of $1,000 in gold per rifle with 1,000 rounds of ammunition each. Many of these documented Confederate “sniper” used rifles were outfitted with a Davidson telescopic sight and were of “2nd Quality” with 2 barrel bands. It has been noted that Union General Sedgwick fell victim to a head shot from a sniper using a Whitworth rifle on May 8, 1864. Shortly before General Sedgwick was killed he scolded some of his men for ducking gun fire, telling them that “they couldn’t hit an elephant at this distance.”. This particular gun is of the same general style as those used during the Civil War by Confederate sharpshooters, to great effect. 3 band configuration with minimal line engraving around the lock, undoubtedly made for use as a military rifle. No provision for a bayonet. Sling swivel on the front band and at the rear of the triggerguard tang. Checkered fore and aft. Matching numbers on barrel and triggerguard. Hexagonal bore with original correct ramrod. There is a lock mounted hammer safety. Crown over “W” on the rear of the lock, marked “WHITWORTH” towards the front of the lock above the safety. “WHITWORTH PATENT” on the top of the barrel, along with the standard “52” Birmingham commercial proofs and serial number. “BEST” is engraved on the triggerguard tang between the 2 screws. There is a piece of metal, most likely for a nipple protector with split ring and chain, mounted under the front of the triggerguard which appears to be a contemporary add on. The target adjustable front sight and possibly the wrist mounted Vernier rear sight are of a newer vintage. The wrist mounted Vernier sight does show age to it. The barrel mounted rear sight ladder is very plain but appears to have been on this gun for a very long time. Stamped into the bottom of the stock between the front of the triggerguard and forend checkering is “NATCHEZ”. The tops of the letters are worn, and bottoms of the letters are sharp. Looks to have been there for very long time, meaning unknown. CONDITION: Very good with approximately 40% original case colors on breech plug. 10% faded case colors on the lock. Barrel has about 10-15% original brown near the breech, mixed with an even age patina and some very minor pitting. There is a fair amount of original blue on the rear and middle bands. All markings are clear and sharp. Wood is very good with dings and handling marks consistent with age, original untouched checkering is sharp. The buttplate has some pitting, mostly towards the top screw. Ramrod has light pitting. Action is crisp. The bore is dirty with distinct rifling showing some wear. 9,500 - 14,500

363 - (A) WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 LEVER ACTION RIFLE ATTRIBUTED TO CHIEF RAIN-IN-THE-FACE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1873 Serial No. 487 Caliber/Bore: .44-40 Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Antique Winchester Model 1873 .44-40 Lever Action Rifle, Serial Number #487, photograph attributed to the Lakota - Sioux Chief Rain-In-The-Face. Manufactured in 1874 with Winchester letter. Showing his worth as a warrior early on in life, the Indian known as Ito-na-gaju earned his Hunkpapa name of Rain-in-the-Face after several fights where the blood and war paint looked like rain on his face. While he did lead several inter-Indian raids, Chief Rain-in-the-Face first fought against the whites in the summer of 1866 when he participated in a raid against Fort Totten in what is now North Dakota. In December 1866, he participated in the Fetterman Massacre near Fort Phil Kearny in present-day Wyoming. In 1873, he took part in the Battle of Honsinger Bluff where he first encountered George Custer. Rain-in-the-Face led five warriors on an ambush and killed Dr. John Honsinger, an army veterinarian, and a sutler named Augustus Baliran who were accompanying Custer’s cavalry near the Tongue River, Montana. He then returned to the Standing Rock Reservation where he lived for a period of time. Late in 1873, a scout named Charley Reynolds visited the Standing Rock Agency when he heard Rain-in-the-Face boasting about his participation in the ambush. When Reynolds reported what he had learned, General George Custer ordered Rain-in-theFace arrested and dispatched his younger brother, Captain Thomas Custer, to perform the deed. Thomas Custer took Rain-in-the-Face to Fort Abraham Lincoln and incarcerated him. However, Rain-in-the-Face escaped and returned to the reservation, then fled to the Powder River country. In the spring of 1876, he joined Sitting Bull’s band and traveled with him to the Little Big Horn River in early June. During the subsequent fighting at the Battle of Little Big Horn on Custer Hill on June 25, 1876, Rain-in- the-Face is alleged to have cut the heart out of Thomas Custer, a feat that was popularized by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in “The Revenge of Rain-in-the-Face.” According to legend, Rain-in-theFace was fulfilling a vow of vengeance because he felt Captain Thomas Custer had unjustly imprisoned him in 1874. Some contemporary accounts also claimed that the war chief had personally dispatched George Custer as well, but in the confused fighting, a number of similar claims have been attributed to other warriors. Late in his life, in a conversation with writer Charles Eastman, Rain-in-the-Face denied both the killing of George Custer and the mutilation of Tom Custer. After the Battle of Little Big Horn, Rain-in-the-Face joined other Hunkpapa as they fled north into Canada, spending the next several years in exile. He finally led his band to surrender in 1880 at Fort 350

Keogh, Montana, and the following year was transferred to the Standing Rock Agency, Dakota Territory, where he later became a reservation police officer and lived the rest of his life. Rain-in-the-Face died in 1905 in his home at the Bullhead Station on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota after a lengthy illness. On his deathbed he reputedly confessed to Mary Collins, a famous Indian missionary, that he thought that he might have killed Custer, shooting him from so close as to leave powder marks upon his face. Between 1878 and 1883, David Frances Barry, referred to by Indians as “The Little Shadow Catcher,” traveled to Fort Buford, Fort Yates, and other forts in the Dakota Territory. He went as far north as Fort Assiniboine in Montana. For these trips he used a portable photographic studio in which he took most of his portraits. He photographed famous Native American chiefs, warriors, scouts, and women including Sitting Bull, Rain-in-the-Face, Gall, Red Cloud, and Shooting Star. You can look at dozens of photographs of Indian Chiefs and warriors photographed by Barry online, but few, if any, have Barry in the photograph. However, two of the photos Barry took of Chief Rain-in-the-Face feature Barry standing with his friend. These two photos accompany this lot, along with a piece written by Barry about his friend, Chief Rain- in-the-Face. All of the writing on the photos matches Barry’s hand. The first photo has “Chief Rain In the Face and DF Barry” with his photography stamp on the back. The second, in the album, has “D.F. Barry and his friend, Rain In The Face, the Noted Sioux Chief.” It also possesses his photography sticker. Both measure approximately 6 – ¼” by 8 – ¼”, have their original mounts and include a small 2 x 3 image of Barry later in life. This gives positive credence to the bond that Barry and Rain-in-theFace had formed. This introduction and friendship formed after the outlaw Indian band fled to Canada and returned to Standing Rock. Both of these photographs picture this Winchester 1873 with several distinguishing features in each photo that uniquely identify this rifle to the one in Chief Rain-in-the-Face’s hand. There is a small rectangular metal plate at the butt which is easily seen. There is also an easily seen oval measuring 1 – 3/8” wrist repair where the bolt was ground down, leaving an image that looks rather like a crooked letter “C”. On the right side of the wooden stock there is a mar in the wood similar to an upside down fishhook that is easily seen in the photograph. Another distinguishing feature is the reverse rear sight in which the slot is 1 – 1/8th on center from breech with the rear sight extending towards to muzzle, rather than the breech. Finally, a small set trigger lever is set behind the trigger bow and is clearly visible in the photo. This rifle is also the only weapon that can be photographically matched out of all the images that we can find of any Indian by photographer D. F. Barry. What can we prove? Fact: Rifle was made prior to the Battle of Little Big Horn, manufactured in 1874. Fact: Rifle is pictured in the hands of Chief Rain-in-the-Face, taken after his return from Canada. Fact: David Barry thought very highly of Chief Rain-in-the-Face and, as a result, was photographed with the chief, which is not the case with the majority of other Barry images. Legend: Chief Rain-in-the-Face, through the collective memory of the Battle of Little Big Horn, is tied in with the deaths of both George and Tom Custer. Legend: Depending on whose story you listen to and the purported confession to Mary Collins, Rain-in-the-Face believed that he killed both Custers. Burial details do confirm that Thomas Custer’s heart was missing. Fact: The gun shows use and even has some pommel wear on fore end near frame, which is typical of Indians riding with their rifles behind the saddle horn. Legend: He had a personal grievance with Tom Custer and had encountered George Custer during the Battle of Honsinger Bluff. Condition of Rifle: Receiver and protected areas show traces of factory blue turning to brown. Metal is basically a smooth, homogeneous brown patina. Stocks are very good; fore end has a slight chip on the rear right of forearm. There are numerous dings on the stock. There looks to be two tiny hairline cracks at wrist but appears to just be grain separation. Action is fine and has a well-defined rifle bore, as well as the pommel wear already mentioned. Rifle is missing dust cover; a modification Indians were known to perform to prevent the dust cover from rattling and making too much noise. Patina shows no sign of dust cover wear, indicating that it has been off for most of its lifetime. Barrel legends are sharp. This is a once in a lifetime chance to own a rifle that is photographed in the hands of the most legendary Indian Chief that has been attributed with the killing of both Custers. This lot has history, condition, and solid proof that it was in his hands at one time, although the photographs were taken post Little Big Horn. Special Note: This rifle has been in the hands of the consignor for thirty-five years and was purchased directly from a descendant of a Standing Rock administrator. However, there are no records of this event. Comes with two photos, both signed by D. F. Barry, and factory letter. 200,000 - 250,000

398 - (A) SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 SOLD TO ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1886 Serial No. 89718 Caliber/Bore: .40-82 Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Antique Cal. 40-82. Standard grade rifle with 26” rnd bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Left side of the color case hardened receiver is engraved in period script “Arapahoe County”. Mounted with very nicely figured, slab-sawed, uncheckered American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate. Other ’86 rifles engraved with the identical inscription were shipped from Winchester July 14, 1894. A 7-page article by Rick Wilson, which appeared in The Winchester Repeater, the magazine of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, discussed information about two rifles from Arapahoe County, Colorado similar to this rifle. The number of rifles ordered by the Arapahoe County Sheriff in 1894 is unknown at this time. However, what is known is that Sheriff William Burchinell, in office 1891-1895, ordered a number of 1886 rifles, so inscribed, to defend the Arapahoe County Courthouse against an anticipated attack by the then Gov. Waite who was attempting to dismiss some of his appointees. The employees of City Hall turned the building into an armed fortress and the Governor then called out the National Guard, armed with Gatling guns & field cannons, but backed down in the face of the citizens’ resistance. Two of those 1886s, apparently ordered at the same time, were inscribed to “John C. Twombly”, an Arapahoe County Commissioner, and the other “William K. Burchinell”, the aforementioned sheriff. These Arapahoe County rifles apparently saw little, if any, service and are usually encountered with high orig finish. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl retains 95% thin orig blue showing wear over the forearm area and left side with a couple of dings near the magazine band; magazine retains about 95% strong orig blue; receiver retains bright case colors on sides, lightly to moderately faded; thin colors over the top and turned silver on the belly; hammer retains strong case colors on sides & rear edge, turned silver on top; lever retains strong case colors on sides, nearly faded to silver on outer faces; buttplate & forend cap are a silver patina. Stocks are sound and retain about all of a restored finish being proud and well fitting. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. TDW 8,000 - 12,500

400 - (A) RARE LOUISIANA STATE MILITIA WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION MUSKET. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1866 Musket Serial No. 33351 Caliber/Bore: .44 RF Henry Barrel Length: 27” FFL Status: Antique Standard ’66 musket with 27 inch round bbl, 7/8 magazine, long forearm, 3 bands, square base front sight/bayonet lug and 900 yard Henry style ladder rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut including straight stock with brass carbine/musket buttplate that has sliding trap. Top tang channel of buttstock has last 3 digits of matching SN and inside toe of buttplate has the last 4 digits of matching SN. Right side of buttstock has handcarved initials “BA”. Bottom tang of the receiver is marked “LSM” which stands for Louisiana State Militia, between the lever latch and hammer spring tension screw. Also between the lever latch and bottom tang wood screw is marked “9C3”,the Militia unit information. Buttstock & middle band have sling swivels. This rare musket was 1 of a shipment sold to the state of Louisiana to arm a regiment of local militia in New Orleans, mostly “colored” troops, known as the Metropolitans. The incidents that precipitated the Battle of Canal Street (Battle of Liberty Place) began with the elections of Nov 4, 1872 when Democrat John McEnery, Governor, and D.B. Penn, Lt Governor, had apparently received the majority of votes, but their Republican opponents William Pitt Kellogg, Governor, and C.C. Antoine, Lt. Governor, illegally had the votes “thrown out” and Kellogg’s ticket was declared elected. The McEnery ticket declared themselves as having been elected and set up a shadow government nearby and both McEnery and Kellogg tickets were inaugurated Jan 14, 1873. The two governments continued operating, constantly waging publicity & newspaper battles which ultimately reached a climax on Sept 14, 1874 with the Battle of Canal Street. The Kellogg faction was supported by the Louisiana State Militia, armed with Winchester muskets and the New Orleans police. The McEnery faction was supported by an organization known as the White League composed of former Civil War soldiers and local citizens. The White League attacked the State House and other buildings occupied by the Militia and police. Over the course of the day the “Leagers” were victorious and occupied the State House. During the Battle of Canal Street approximately 300 of the Winchester muskets were captured by the attacking Leagers when they defending Militia dropped their arms and fled. The McEnery faction occupied the state house for 3 days until President Grant threatened to send in the Army to restore order. Gov. Kellogg resumed his position as Gov. and served out his term. An advertisement that appeared in the newspaper, Picayune on Oct 31, 1874, over the signature of Gov. Kellogg advertised a reward for the return of a large number and variety of “Stolen State arms” ranging from Mountain Howitzers and including 301 Winchester rifles, SN’s ranging between 31,120 and 34,163 marked “LSM on butt-plates”. Very few of these rare muskets have ever surfaced making them a very scarce Winchester collectible. CONDITION: Fine, all matching including buttstock & buttplate. Bbl retains traces of blue in the most sheltered areas, being an overall blue/gray patina. Magazine tube retains about 75% orig blue with a few scattered spots of light pitting. Receiver & side plates show moderate edge wear with a few light nicks & scratches and overall retains a beautiful medium mustard patina. Buttplate is matching patina. Wood is sound and shows most of a very old restored finish. Mechanics are fine. Strong bright bore with fine pitting in the grooves.TDW 7,500 - 9,500

403 - RARE WAR OF 1812 BRITISH CONGREVE SYSTEM FLINTLOCK ROCKET LAUNCHER. This is an extremely rare War of 1812 period British military rocket launcher. This would have been used in conjunction with the British Congreve pole mounted rockets which would in theory slide down inside this item. Mounted on a hollow iron pole to allow for the wooden pole of the Congreve rocket. Measures 99 1/4 inches long overall. Angular bayonet affixed to the launcher cup. There is a trigger mechanism approximately halfway up the pole. The bayonet measures 8 inches long. Cup is 16 inches long. The 5 inch long lock has a crown/broad arrow mark. Approximately 2 inch bore diameter, although the cup is slightly out of round. Consignor notes that this is 1 of 100 produced. The initial rocket cases were constructed of cardboard, but by 1806 they were made from sheet iron. The propulsion was of the same ingredients as gunpowder, the mixture of which varied with the different sizes of rocket. The warheads had side-mounted brackets which were used to attach wooden sticks of differing lengths, according to the sizes of rocket. It was the use of ship-launched Congreve rockets by the British in the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the US in 1814 that inspired the fifth line of the first verse of the United States’ National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner”: “and the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air”. While this is certainly not a ships weapon, it would make sense as weapon to be used on horseback and could have very well been with the 1st Rocket Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery. PROVENANCE: Former Ratner Collection, Former Chernoff Collection, The Renowned Collection of Howard Resnick. CONDITION: The pole, cup, firing mechanism, and bayonet all retain a very uniform patina with light to moderate pitting and some black painted finish. The lock and wood surrounding it are in better condition, but also show age. The mainspring is missing from the lock. 15,000 - 20,000

501 - (M) CASED AUTO MAG .44 PISTOL WITH EXTRA PARTS & RELOADING PIECES. Manufacturer: Auto Mag Model: .44 Auto Mag Pistol Serial No. KEF10 Caliber/Bore: .44 AMP Barrel Length: 6 - 1/2” FFL Status: Modern In 1971 Harry Sanford, working out of a little shop in Pasadena, California, began production of the now famous .44 Auto Mag semi-automatic pistol. It is designed to hold seven rounds of the special .44 AMP ammunition. Design features included exposed hammer, adjustable trigger, satin stainless steel finish and sharply checkered stocks of black plastic; weighing 56 oz empty with 11-1/2” overall length. It was a brand new pistol for a brand new cartridge and the most powerful semi-automatic made at that time. It was a big, massive handgun that combined devastating punch with long range accuracy and up to eight shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. This pistol set the handgun world on fire. during the course of its manufacture, its high price tag and lack of readily available factory ammo early on, the company changed hands several times; but it is the early Pasadena Models that captures the fancy of both shooters and collectors alike. Because it was a small company, the owner allowed individual employees Model 180 as a bonus. This particular pistol was built by an employee whose initials were “KEF” and bears serial No. 10, making it both a hand fitted model and one of the earliest known serial numbers. This gun was eventually acquired by a hunting guide directly from the employee as a gift for a successful hunt. CONDITION: This pistol is basically indiscernible from any other production model with its distinctive space gun vent rib and target adjustable rear sight. There are a few minor rubs but is still 98% or better, showing little to no use. Near new inside and a silky smooth action. Comes in the original black plastic carry case with two Allen screwdrivers, along with one extra magazine, large bag of internal parts including three firing pins and enough small parts to nearly complete the guts of another gun, an extra pair of grips, and an Auto Mag Pasadena oil bottle. Latch on plastic case is broken. Also included is a magazine article on this gun from November 1971, some loading data, and set of reloading dies, a couple hundred prime shells and a holster. Basically everything you need to shoot and/or repair this pistol if needed. Bottom line; one of a kind, early production, employee built bonus gun of which no other exact pistol exists. It is hard to believe, looking at this gun that it is nearly 50 years old, as the design is as radical today as it was in 1971. A few other unique big bore semi-automatics were to follow such as the Coonan and the Wildey, but this was the one to start the entire craze. This pistol has taken on as much fame in Hollywood as it has in the gun world, first appearing on the big screen in 1981 in the motion picture “Scared to Death”, it really hit the red carpet in 1983 with the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry release of “Sudden Impact”, along with six other motion pictures through 1995 and was in the hands of drug dealer Ted Nugent in an episode of Miami Vice season two. 4,000 - 6,000 388

Edgar Hoover, Presidents Nixon, Ford, Johnson and Kennedy as well as entertainers, congressmen and prominent business men. The book states he did not do a lot of American type scroll in punch dot, he would obviously do whatever the customer wanted as this Colt exhibits typical American style of Helfricht and Nimschke.

The Russet Rock Island Arsenal 1917 dated holster with Mills 1918 dated Eagle snap pistol belt with matching Mills 1918 magazine pouch containing 2 additional Colt two tone 1911 spare magazines. Really a fine WW1 rig and is surprising to find in such fine condition as most of these guns ended up being used in between the wars and again issued in WW2. CONDITION. Very fine with over 97% original deep blue remaining on slide. Barrel is excellent with mint bore and most blue finish remaining on chamber and barrel exterior.

533 - (M) COLT CUSTOM CATTLE BRAND ENGRAVED COMMANDER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL (1953). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Commander Serial No. 34015-LW Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Modern This Colt Commander was engraved and signed by David Harris. Motif is that of Cole Agee’s signature cattle brand style in which numerous ranch symbols are engraved about the gun with intermittent scroll leaf and punch dot background. Virtually every area of this pistol has been engraved save the grip safety and a few small parts. Also features real ivory steer head grips with ruby eyes on both panels, which is rarely the case. It was then fully plated and a lightweight adjustable trigger was installed. David Harris would have been very familiar with the cattle brand as he got his training from master engraver Weldon Bledsoe, who for years studied under Cole Agee. David Harris comments on the cattle brand design of Cole Agee on page 134 in the book “Cole Agee Texas Engraver” by Jink Howard, “As for the engraving of the cattle brand design, Cole Agee started that. Weldon said that Cole has a customer in Mexico that wanted something special...Cole came up with cattle brand design...”. It was Bledsoe who taught Harris how to do the cattle brand engraving. If Harris did not identify his work with his signature, it would be very difficult to tell a true Agee cattle brand gun as they are so similar. CONDITION: An outstanding gun with 99% or better finish applied at time of engraving and the double long horn ruby eye grips panels make this a very special pistol. 4,000 - 6,000

Manufacturer: DWM Model: Dutch Prototype Serial No. 10130B Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This extraordinarily rare prototype, also known as the “Hollandsch Model”, was featured in two books: first, “The Dutch Luger” pages 118-126 and second “The Borchardt & Luger Automatic Pistols” pages 296-301. As every advanced Luger collector knows, the B suffix range was set aside for prototype guns. This example is one of the ten that was ordered in December 1904 and delivered in August of 1905 for the Dutch contract of 174 trials pistols, eventually leading to the “New Model” Luger, or Model 1906. Quite a few significant changes were made to this gun; the frame was modified to take a coil main spring instead of a flat leaf spring by machining a new part and dovetailing it into the frame. This was also the first pistol that had flat toggle knobs and the omission of a toggle lock. Extractor is marked “GLADEN” only on the left side and the thumb safety is marked “RUST” with an arched arrow pointing up into the safe position. CONDITION: Like all Dutch Lugers, this pistol is in externally poor condition but it is the only known example out of the first ten Dutch guns. Surprisingly bright bore with sharp rifling. Sluggish manual mechanics. Well documented, here is a chance to own a very historic prototype Luger, from the Dutch military, in the B suffix range. 4,500 - 7,500

Manufacturer: S&W Model: Registered .357 Magnum Serial No. 50029 Caliber/Bore: .357 Magnum Barrel Length: 8 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic The introduction of the Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver in 1935 was heralded as one of the greatest innovations in handguns in a century. At the time, the .44 caliber Colt Dragoon was still considered the most powerful handgun in the world until surpassed by this new revolver. It was a total custom offering that allowed customers to virtually handpick any option they wanted, which included barrel lengths, hammers, sights, finish, etc. The registration number for each order was stamped inside the yoke, this number is “R1689”. Approximately 5,224 were manufactured between 1935 and 1939. This revolver featured the Patridge front sight, fully checkered rib and frame, adjustable rear sight, fully checkered hammer with oil retaining grooves on side and patent date, six shot and blued finish. Comes with pinned barrel and recessed chambers. This fine revolver was factory refinished January of 1958 and is so stamped inside grip frame, at this time the beautiful Smith & Wesson silver medallion custom grips were installed.

602 - (C) GEN. MARK W. CLARK’S SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1917 REVOLVER. Manufacturer: S&W Model: 1917 Serial No. 133309 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This is an interesting revolver, it is an all standard U.S. issue Model 1917 Smith & Wesson that was made to fire a .45 ACP cartridge by use of half-moon clips. It is a blue, six shot, double action, with case colored hammer and trigger. Left side of frame has the ordnance bomb. Left rear trigger bow has the eagle inspector stamp. The butt is stamped with the serial number as well as “U.S. Army Model 1917”. Bottom of barrel is stamped “United States Property”. There is an inspector eagle head on bottom of barrel and back of cylinder with matching serial numbers as well. The walnut grips are period correct replacements that are oversized and could be fitted perfectly with a little work. There is a lanyard in the butt. CONDITION: Gun retains approx. 90% of original factory blue finish. There is overall high edge wear on all sharp surfaces, muzzle wear, and scattered handling marks. Most screws are true. Has a well defined bore with shiny grooves. Indexes correctly, both single and double action. The revolver was sourced from the family of Major John H. Gregory. It has been in the family since it was acquired from General Clark. Major Gregory who kept a diary of his time overseas during WWII, in particular Feb. 25th 1943 while in Cassablanca where he wrote a note, much of it mundane, but in there he writes “Swapped gun for a Smith & Wesson carried by General Clark”. It has remained in the family ever since. We have a signed letter from Robert H. Gregory who was an L-4A Pilot immediately after the war. The letter is addressed to Ms. Jane Yates of the citadel archives. The letter discusses this revolver as well as the military duty of the three sons who are now in their 80’s. Letter dated 2008. So the lineage of this revolver is well documented from 1943 to present. Major Gregory was involved in many of the battles in the Africa region during the second world war, but it is the attribution to General Mark Wayne Clark that is the most intriguing. There is a short biography of Clark taken from the citadel archives included with this lot. Clark graduated from West Point in 1917 and immediately there after was sent to France where he fought in several battles including the infamous Mause-Argonne. He stayed in the military until WWII erupted, working as an instructor at the Army War College. In Jan. 1942 he became the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army Ground Forces and in May of 1942 named Chief of Staff, then becoming Commander of the Army Ground Forces in the European Theater and in Oct. 1942, Deputy Commander and Chief of the Allied Forces in the North African Theater. Jan of 1943 he became Commanding General of the 5th Army, headquartered in OUJDA North Africa where he spent seven months. On June 4th 1944, the 5th Army captured Rome. The first Axis Capital. In June of 1945 he was Commander and Chief of the U.S. Occupation Forces. General Clark accepted the presidency of the citadel on Oct. 23 1953. This revolver is being consigned directly from the Gregory family and its history and provenance is well documented. This is a rare opportunity for one to own a service revolver used by one of the most famous generals of the second world war. An exciting piece of WWII history that rightly belongs in the citadel museum. Note: The letter from the son lists the serial number one number off. 5,000 - 10,000

Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: Pre-Model 14 Serial No. K272259 Caliber/Bore: .38 S&W Special Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This beautiful was engraved and signed by Kurt Jaeger of Mainz, Germany. According to the website www.germanhuntingguns.com “Kurt Jäger was born and grew up in Suhl and studied business administration. He worked for his father and helped the company and the family through difficult times. Having a Jewish mother blocked his opportunities during the Nazi years. Because the production of hunting guns had nearly come to an end during World War II, he left his father’s house to work in the offices of a major company. He was drafted into the Army, was wounded and came home after a short stay in an American prisoner of war camp. He again joined his father in Suhl, the former German gun making center that ended up behind the iron curtain, this time as a partner and could finally marry (not permitted under the Nazis because of his Jewish mother) and had one daughter. He soon realized that they did not have a future under Communism and, with the encouragement of the parents they slipped illegally into West Germany. His nephew, Dietrich Apel, had left Suhl earlier for the West and found employment at the Wiesbaden Rod & Gun Club of the American Air Force. The two opened a gun shop in Mainz, across the Rhine River from Wiesbaden. They found two rooms that served as store, shop and sleeping quarters. There was no shortage of American servicemen as customers as well as other gunsmiths and engravers that had come from East Germany. Kurt Jäger worked with and for the Wiesbaden Rod and Gun Club of the American Air Force for many years and many rifles and engravings from that period can be found in the used gun market. Dietrich came to the United States in 1952 and Kurt moved to a better business location in the center of Mainz. Soon German customers could again own guns. Kurt Jaeger also did a lot of business with Paul Jaeger in America who commissioned many good engravings, most of them by Emil and Claus Willig in Schweinfurt and by Schildbach formerly in Zella-Mehlis. Kurt Jäger continued the business until he sold it and retired to Bad Kreuznach. He had built a good reputation, helped the gun fraternity in Germany and collected the history of the Jäger family. Kurt Jaeger passed away in 2003.”.

667 - (C) EXPERIMENTAL WWI GERMAN NAVAL LINE THROWING CARBINE BUILT ON MAUSER GEW98 RIFLE WITH ATF NFA EXEMPTION DOCUMENTATION. Manufacturer: Mauser Model: 1898 Serial No. 698 Caliber/Bore: 53MM Barrel Length: 10” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This is a very rare and unique WWI Mauser single shot line throwing gun. There are only 2 examples currently known, both with minor differences. This one was built on a standard Mauser Oberndorf GEW98 rifle action, dated 1914. The receiver chamber markings were partially removed during the conversion. The stock and barrel/cup assembly were of new manufacture. Standard GEW98 triggerguard assembly with floorplate, however the follower was replaced with a block of wood for single shot use. The bolt release and screw, triggerguard screws and trigger retain the original fire blue, the rest of the parts appearing to have been finished in the white. The barrel/cup assembly measures 10 inches long. 2 inch bore diameter. These are believed to have been reworked into the current configuration at Mauser Werke-Koln/Ehrenfeld. While factory documentation on these items, or perhaps who did the conversion no longer exists, it has been surmised that these would have been used on U-Boats for firing lines of rope to ships similar to the Schumerly or Sandars line throwing guns. This particular item has “A. 196.” in white paint on the bottom of the stock at the front. The end of the barrel is threaded, although the purpose for the threads has been lost to time. This gun features factory done 1 5/8” long by 3/4” high oval holes in the cup assembly. Of paramount importance, this item is accompanied by a letter from the NFA branch which specifically removes this gun by serial number from the provisions of the NFA. PROVENANCE: The Former Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Fine with minor staining on the “in the white” parts. Retains most of the original blue on noted small parts. Stock is very good with minor handling marks and dings, small crack between the “barrel” and front of the trigger guard assembly. Bore is fine. Fine mechanical function. 2,500 - 5,000

It is listed as returned and repaired on October 14th, 1910; right after the release of the Winchester A5 scope. In fact, the offset mounts are dated “MAY 24 1910”, five moths prior to this rifle being returned. Because the offset mounts are applied to the barrel the “PW” proof, so as to be visible with mounts intact was moved to the left side of the barrel. We are assuming this was done per work order/return as they were definitely applied by the factory and the stamp moved to left side.

709 - (C) WINCHESTER MODEL 1903 .22 SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLE WITH RARE SABO MODEL B MAGAZINE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1903 Serial No. 51263 Caliber/Bore: .22 Barrel Length: 20” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This gun was manufactured in 1909. Standard production Winchester model 1903 that has had non-factory scope blocks added to the barrel. The gun also features the very rare Sabot magazine alteration which included changing the stock to one of aluminum that would have had faux wood panels (which are missing) and accepted a large detachable drum style magazine. The Sabot magazine was patented in 1910, by the Sabo Mfg Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The Sabo device which is a large tubular housing mounted into the cutout stock and houses 12 magazine tubes which fit along the inner periphery of the cylinder. Each magazine tube is loaded with 8 cartridges and when it is spent, the magazine is rotated and the next full tube is ready for use. While this is interesting, it is easy to see why it is so rare and was essentially a commercial failure. The design was complicated and expensive. A receipt for another of these guns listed the prices as follows: “Winchester 1903 Rifle $21.75, Sabo Model B Magazine $37.50” for a total of $59.25, nearly three times the cost of the rifle alone. To date, this cataloger, who has an extensive collection of Winchester 1903 rifles, knows of 4 of these guns with the Sabot modification including this one.

This very interesting gun, of Hollywood fame, was introduced in 1935 and manufactured from their corporate offices in Pontiac, MI, in 12ga, 25MM and 37MM. Steel inserts were available to convert to larger 25MM to fire the more readily available 12ga buckshot loads. However, this was later deemed illegal and unlawful under the Public Safety Act of 1934. This company ceased to exist in an extraordinary series of incidents when in 1933 when Charles J. Manville ordered all drawings, remaining weapons, parts, jigs and tooling to be destroyed for some unknown reason. This exceptional example is complete in its original hard shell box, black pebbled leatherette with nickeled reinforcements, central lock surrounded by two latches. Internally lined with green cloth having separate support for barrel and compartment for related accessories.

DVD is new in sealed wrap. An absolutely awesome tear gas gun, even better with case and accessories sure to impress any of your friends. 3,500 - 6,500

850 - RARE LARGE 26.5MM WWI BELGIAN TRIP FLARE GUN. Manufacturer: Belgian Caliber/Bore: 26.5mm Barrel Length: 10” This is a very interesting item. Designed to be mounted vertically, most likely attached to a post or tree stump. The trigger mechanism would have been attached to a trip wire, firing a flare straight up and thereby illuminating the area in which the device was set off. In the trenches of WWI this would have been an invaluable tool to alert of an oncoming attack through no man’s land. Somewhat crudely manufactured, this was designed for utilitarian purposes rather than aesthetics. Brass and steel construction. Belgian proofed on the top of the barrel and receiver. The barrel swings open to the side for loading. The brass trigger, which would be attached to a trip wire, is designed to be fired from “up and down” movement when holding it flat, rather than lateral play. All in all a very unique and interesting relic of the WWI style of trench warfare. PROVENANCE: The Renowned Collection of Howard Resnick. CONDITION: Fine in as found condition. All parts retain a pleasing patina with clear markings. Bore has some rust. Fine mechanical function. 1,000 - 1,500

Listed as a cabin pressure pistol. This British signal pistol has a very complex design which allowed the aircrew to load, fire and unload the gun at high altitude in a pressured aircraft cabin without depressurizing. Gun was manufactured in this version, the Mk II, and the Mk I. The manually operated pistol was attached to the inside of the aircraft fuselage in a recoil dampening bracket. It is a double action operation. The large handle at the center of the circular central portion of the gun on the right side allowed the pistol grip, firing mechanism and barrel to be rotated up and out of the way. Pistol was developed for the British Royal Air Force for use during World War II. It is rarely seen and most people do not know what it is. Fully proofed. CONDITION: Excellent, all original condition showing usual wear from being on an airplane during the war. 4,000 - 6,000

Manufacturer: British Serial No. B1163 Caliber/Bore: 37mm Barrel Length: 4 - 1/4” Grips were removed for attachment. This pistol was developed by Molins Machine Company of London for use in World War II. It has a stamped steel frame resulting in significant weight reduction. It is a single shot, double action. Pistol carried various British proof marks. The standard No. 4 Mk I Pyrotechnic pistol is not particularly rear but the electronic contraption that was built to attach to this flare gun, which keeps the trigger in constant pull mode, allowed this to be plugged into electrical circuits to electronically fire the flares. This is the first device we have ever seen. Mounted to the inside of the RAF fighter planes. Has the original cord. Device is bolted onto grip frame. Survival rate of this flare gun out of surviving RAF fighter planes was extremely small and this is the first example we have seen or heard of. It would be a pinnacle item for the collector of rare flare guns and signal pistols. 1,000 - 1,500

John cites this revolver falls into the Troop G, Third Cavalry September 14th, 1886 batch of weapons. He feels that this is most likely a militia gun from 1878 with Michigan receiving 690, Kentucky 200 and the District of Columbia 240; and they escaped being modified as they remained in service until after 1893 and were most likely sold as surplus. John lists the following notes and comments: cylinder of this revolver is a later replacement, serial number and JTC sub-inspector initials have been restamped; cylinder bolt stop guides (approaches) are too small; small letter “K” stamped at rear of cylinder; cylinder sports a rust-blued refinished surface; barrel of this revolver sports the same rust blue refinished surface with a strong address but shows the effects of being slight buffed prior to being reblued; the remnants of an older applied blued finish remain on trigger guard and backstrap; interior of the frame cylinder shows prior reblued finish; screws holes of this frame and slightly dished from moderate buffing; ejector spring is a modern replacement; grips fitted to this revolver remain in remarkable original condition, showing the perfect cartouche of both inspectors (Lyle and Cleveland). Features two line frame patent date, “US” on left side of frame and strong barrel address. Full or partial matching numbers on frame, barrel, backstrap, trigger guard and cylinder. Left walnut grips panel is dated 1876 and stamped with “DFC” in box. Grips are in near mint condition. Stamped with Lyle initials on left and Clarke on right. CONDITION: Light traces of case colors on frame. Excellent walnut grips with strong cartouche. Indexes and locks up like new. Strong, clean bore. Very scarce and early Lyle/Cleveland inspected Indian Wars Colt. 4,000 - 6,000

889 - (A) FINE MARTIALLY MARKED US COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER (1863). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Army Serial No. 135852 Caliber/Bore: .44 Percussion Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique Blue and case hardened with round barrel, nickel silver front sight and one line New York address. Let side of frame has “COLTS PATENT”. Frame is three screw type cut for shoulder stock with a flat head hammer screw. The unplated brass trigger guard and blued steel backstrap contain a martially marked one piece walnut grip that is a factory original Colt product with excellent fit, however the last four digits of the serial number recorded on the backstrap channel of the grip read “0081” and do not match the rest of the gun; although, one would never know from the fit. Left side of grip has a clean, legible inspector’s cartouche and the right side has a mostly legible cartouche. Various parts have small inspector initials. Cylinder is a rebated six chamber with Ormsby Naval battle scene roll engraving. All six safety pins are partial but serviceable. There were over 200,000 of these revolvers produced 1860 to 1873, of which the government produced 127,156. They were the most widely distributed handgun of the Civil War and were popular with troops for their hard-hitting .44 caliber ball/bullet. These revolvers remained in service for many years on the American Frontier and around the world. They are rarely found today with any original finish. CONDITION: All matching numbers except grip, as noted. Barrel retains 85-90% strong original blue with an area of thinning on right side and some pitting around the muzzle. Very nice original feathering near sight, around ramrod latch and on the right side of the barrel near the ramrod pivot. Rammer pivot retains bright case colors and the handle faded case colors. Frame retains about all of its lightly to moderately faded case colors, as does the hammer. Cylinder is a full blue-brown patina and shows about 80% Ormsby Naval battle scene roll engraving. Trigger guard and front strap are a light yellow patina and the backstrap retains about 80% thinning original blue showing original feathering. Grip is sound with a couple of small nicks and retains a fine hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine. Bore is bright and shiny with a few spots of pitting. 4,000 - 5,000

890 - (A) BLACK POWDER COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER (1891). Manufacturer: Colt Model: Single Action Army Serial No. 139698 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4” FFL Status: Antique This early black powder Colt features the two line frame patent dates with the two line Colt address on top of barrel with “45 COLT” on left side. Matching numbers on frame, trigger guard and backstrap. CONDITION: The ejector housing screw is marred beyond recognition and will have to be tapped out if needed. There is no original finish on this blue and case colored gun with just flashes in hidden recesses and bright case colors on hammer. Muzzle is slightly rounded from holster. Light drag line. Top of sight appears to have been touched. Typical screw in frame. Legends are sharp. Frame screws are fairly true. Given that the hammer has so much case colors, it may have been replaced with a proper era example. The two piece gutta percha grips are intact but well worn and there is some vintage etching on the inside with initials, etc. There is no doubt based on fit that these grips are original to gun as the precision is near perfect. While the cylinder indexes into place securely, it does not have the distinctive four clicks and quite a bit of play at the last station, and could use some attention. The rifling is very distinctive and sharp with minor black powder abrasion and frosted grooves. Far better than average for a black powder Colt that saw the use this revolver has. Nice, smooth, well cared for Western look. 4,000 - 6,000

Factory letter states serial number 3598 was shipped as a .45 caliber with 5-1/2” barrel and blued finish on August 31st, 1881 to Hartley & Graham, New York. According to this letter, the caliber is “.45 c” for Colt, but the gun is stamped “45 CAL B” for Boxer, therefore it must be a factory recording mistake or the gun was built for the wrong caliber. We tested the weapon and it will not take a .45 Colt but fits a .45 Boxer perfectly. 3,500 - 5,000

According to the factory record, this revolver was shipped on September 4th, 1882 to Schovering, Daly & Gales of New York as a 7-1/2” blued gun. This gun has wear where noted and appears to be 100% factory original in this writers opinion. Otherwise, it would had to have been redone almost immediately because of the Colt quality and present wear. The people doing this quality of restoration has only been done in the last twenty years and the noted wear does not appear to have been acquired within the last twenty years because of toning. It is our opinion that this is simply another factory ledger error of which we are all familiar with. You will have to look at it and decide for yourself. 4,000 - 6,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 82958 Caliber/Bore: .45 LC Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique According to John Kopec, US Colt historian, this revolver was a new listing manufactured circa November 8th, 1882. Ordnance inspected by Captain John E. Greer with David F. Clarke as Ordnance sub-inspector. You will find his initials “DFC” stamped on frame, barrel and cylinder, as well as bottom of right grip panel. Serial number is not listed in the National Archives. John feels this was a state militia gun due to the unaltered condition. He found 154 issued to Alabama and Mississippi in 1883 and 620 issued to states in 1884, the bulk (360) sent to North Carolina. After the Spanish-American War, these revolvers were returned to Springfield Armory and placed in storage, disposed of by large dealers such as Bannerman and Stokes-Kirk. As early as 1912, NRA members could buy these revolvers from the DCM. John made the following notes: Ejector spring is a replacement and head is a modern component, ejector screw is incorrect; grips fitted to this revolver appear to be old and original with a repair to the right toe and the markings “A7”, which could stand for Company A Trooper 7; “DFC” stamp on right butt is a facsimile, no original finish exists on this example with minor rust throughout; barrel address shows considerable wear and is faint, with forward areas missing; rear sight shows peening marks. His general consensus is that the revolver is correct except for the above notes. Frame has three line patent address and “US” stamp on left side. “P” can be found stamped on barrel and cylinder. Frame screws are generally straight with some minor marking. Repaired toe is only visible on the right panel. Full or partial matching serial numbers on barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap and cylinder. Assembly number on loading lever is “1327”. Back of cylinder is stamped “JO”. Cylinder has strong, clean rifling; sharp edges and minor frosting. Revolver indexes and locks up correctly. Overall a good, solid, 1880’s Cavalry Colt. 3,000 - 5,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1849 Pocket Serial No. 330920 Caliber/Bore: .31 Percussion Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Antique The 15th Regiment, Company B of the Massachusetts Volunteers saw action in most of the major battles of the Civil War. At Antietam on September 17th, 1862 they suffered a loss of over half of their 600 men. They fought at Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Battle of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and the Siege of Petersburg. The presentation on the backstrap reads “Lieutenant James May Company B 15th Regiment Mass Vol. Presented by his friends in Fitchburg US”. Given that this revolver was manufactured in 1872, without the Washington war records we are unable to determine if he fought in the Civil War, joined later, or if this was given to him by friends in honor of his service. If one has the time to get to Washing to study the rosters, it would be interesting to see which, if any, of these battles he fought in. CONDITION: Octagon barrel retains approximately 80% original blue. Stagecoach scene cylinder retains approximately 75% original blue. Brass straps have toned with no signs of plating. Case colors have faded to a dark grey. One piece walnut grips are excellent and retain most of their varnish. Full or partial matching numbers on barrel, frame, grip strap and backstrap cylinder.

Cylinder number not readable. The entire gun has been silver plated and when they did the polishing, they removed a lot of the detail of the engraving, cylinder scene and serial number. This was a factory engraved revolver as evidenced by the “IE” stamp on frame, trigger guard and backstrap which stood for ivory engraved. Boasts a beautiful pair of full checkered ivory grips. The ivory grips alone are worth $1,500. Engraving is you typical Nimshke style scroll with wolf head hammer. Brass trigger guard and steel backstrap. Colt patent stamped on left side of frame is visible. “44 CAL” on left trigger bow. Revolver was cut for shoulder stock. CONDITION: Approximately 30% of the detail of the engraving has been polished off. No visible cylinder scene. Under the silver plating is some areas with salt and pepper pitting but not bad.

Looks to have been done long ago; this is just a case where some fool who didn’t know what he was doing, attempted to make this revolver look new again and only succeeded in ruining a rare 1860 factory engraved Colt. Still has a pretty good look and if you want to spend the money to get it redone, it would sure do this revolver wonders. Timing is off. Action is good. Strong, clean bore. This just may be a gun worth the expense of bringing back to life. 2,000 - 3,000

believe the interior of the case to be original, although it does show some age. Ebony handled, brass tip cleaning rod. Next to the Raphael revolver, the French Perrin is probably the least often encountered Civil War import handgun. Like the Raphael, it was a 6-shot, double action revolver that fired a very advanced 12mm self-contained cartridge. Approximately 550 of these revolvers (of a contract for 1,0000) were delivered to the US Government by arms speculator Alexis Godillot at a price of $20.00 each in 1862. Due to the high grade of this gun, it is highly unlikely that this was included in the US Gov’t contract arms. PROVENANCE: The Renown Collection of Howard Resnick. CONDITION: The gun retains a pleasing even age patina overall with sharp engraving. Fine mechanical function. Wood grip is fine with minor handling marks. Bore is fine with deep rifling.

Manufacturer: Raphael Model: Single Action Revolver Serial No. 94 Caliber/Bore: 11mm Barrel Length: 5 - 3/4” FFL Status: Antique Beautiful deep relief scroll engraving. Carved ebony grips. The Raphael revolver is distinguished among Civil War used handguns for its rarity, high price during the war, and the fact that the name we refer to the gun comes from the arms seller who provided the guns to the US government, not its manufacturer or inventor.

The guns were purchased from the firm of George Raphael & Company. Due to the high grade of this particular firearm, it is doubtful that this gun was included in that order.

Manufacturer: Remington Model: New Model Army Serial No. 91346 Caliber/Bore: .44 CF Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique Standard features include octagon barrel, six shot, single action, brass trigger guard and walnut grips. This started life as a Martially marked 1858 Remington .44 caliber revolver and was converted in the 1870’s to fire a .44 caliber centerfire cartridge. The backstrap is engraved “F.D. BALDWIN”, we must assume this was his revolver during the Civil War and do not know if he continued to use it after the conversion, as he was actively engaged during the Indian Wars as well as the Spanish American War. There is no finish left on this gun; cylinder is peppered and balance of gun is brown-grey patina. Numerous inspector marks on the majority of parts. There is a unit number “55” stamped on underside of barrel and inside of grip frame. Lanyard loop is intact. Indexes and locks up but timing is off. Surprisingly, the bore is in excellent condition with strong lands and clean grooves; no traces of damage.

The left side of the frame is stamped “SHAWK/ & MACLANAHAN/ ST. LOUIS”. The markings are questionable, especially considering that known Shawk & McLanahan revolvers do not seem to share any of the characteristics of this item, as well as the marking (which includes the additional “A” in the name on this gun). The gun is also marked “M8” in several places, and “M4” on the buttplate tang. The wood forend hinges down with the loading lever, although the lever doesn’t quite go down far enough to be able to properly load the cylinder, nor is there enough clearance between the front of the cylinder and barrel in order to load it with the lever. 9 3/4 inch forend. 20 1/2 inch 3 groove rifled modified .45-70 Trapdoor Springfield barrel. A standard 1873 Trapdoor Springfield socket bayonet fits it perfectly. The loading lever assembly was welded to the bottom of this. Wood stock with iron buttplate. Someone clearly put a whole lot of time into making this item. Approximately 36 inches long, overall. CONDITION: Good as created. Does show some actual age, mixed with a chemically applied patina. Markings are sharp and clear. Wood is good with light handling marks. Bore is very good with strong rifling. The springs are a little weak, which makes the cylinder sometimes over rotate beyond its proper location and needs attention. Action at fault. 3,000 - 5,000

992 - (A) RARE & UNUSUAL BILHARZ, HALL & CO. CONFEDERATE PERCUSSION CARBINE. Manufacturer: Billarz Hall & Co. Model: 1855 Carbine Caliber/Bore: .69 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique This interesting gun is the product of Bilharz, Hall & Co of Pittsylvania Courthouse, Virginia. This is the same company that produced the Rising Breech carbines. The first 350 of these were made with brass nosecaps, the balance of production having pewter nosecaps. Based on the model 1855 Springfield rifled carbine. This particular gun differs from the seldom encountered standard versions in the following ways: The gun does not have a nose cap; the band spring is facing forward as opposed to facing the rear of the gun; there are no sub-assembly numbers marked on the inside of the lock; approximately .69 caliber smoothbore as opposed to .58 rifled. The initial sample of the Bilharz, Hall & Company muzzle loading carbine was submitted for examination and review at the Richmond Armory in early March of 1863. Major William Downer, in command of the armory at Richmond at that time, wrote a detailed report about the Bilharz sample musketoon on the 4th of March 1863. In general he found the overall workmanship of the gun to be “rough”. He specifically noted a number of what would appear to be minor flaws, such as the angle of the buttplate, the sharpness of wood corners, etc., as well as some major flaws such as a tumbler made of iron and the use of common wood screws to secure the buttplate and some furniture to the gun’s stock. He found fault in the design of the captive ramrod (and suggested some improvements) and complained that the stock had no “tip” (forend cap). His biggest complaints, however, were that “The barrel is not finished smoothly, either inside or out. The inside should be improved in boring…” and in reference to the iron tumbler noted that it “…is not casehardened, rendering the lock very rough, and liable to get out of order very soon.” Interestingly after castigating the gun on many points, he concluded by saying: “The general finish of the arm is rough, but with the exception of the tumbler, I see nothing to prevent the usefulness of it in the field. If the improvements and alteration mentioned are made, I should think that forty-five dollars would be a reasonable price for the arm.”. This gun is not marked with the “CSA” marking as is commonly found but rather has the marking “P/ C S” on the left side of the barrel. It’s important to note that while this style of marking is not pictured in Murphy’s book, it can be found in “Confederate Longarms and Pistols” by Hill & Anthony. These marks are of the same font style as found on the Rising Breech carbines. Also of interest, is that the barrel band has a split area on the bottom to capture the ramrod and certainly looks to be original. The numbers on the rear of the barrel and breech plug are unfortunately illegible due to pitting. This is an interesting gun that is certainly real and saw hard use. CONDITION: This gun shows heavy use and remains in original “as found” condition, free of restoration or cleaning. Even patina overall with areas of light to moderate old rust. Markings are clear. The lock screws are replacements, but of the period. The lock is slightly at fault, although a careful cleaning would probably fix that. Wood shows heavy burnout above the lock. Severe pitting in the metal around the nipple and where the barrel meets the breech plug from use. The stock has a 7 inch crack on the left side by the front lock screw, and a 3 inch crack at the rear lock screw. Period nail repair to wood at rear/top of lock. There are some chips out around the lock which does not seat perfectly in the wood. Bore is rusty. 4,000 - 6,000

993 - (A) BRITISH 2ND MODEL BROWN BESS FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Manufacturer: British Model: 2nd Model Brown Bess Caliber/Bore: .79 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 42” FFL Status: Antique This musket almost certainly has seen American use during the Revolutionary War. All British markings were intentionally removed during the period of use. There are several period repairs that are crude and indicate American use, including a small repair to the stock using a rose nail and a crudely replaced top jaw and top jaw screw. In addition, the left side of the buttstock is carved “AB 1777”. The full length round tapered steel barrel no longer shows any traced of British proof marks. It still retains it iron bayonet stud on top near the muzzle. The rounded British lockplate has traces of its original borders, but the markings have been intentionally removed. The frizzen spring and top jaw have been replaced using components which are either American made or from other muskets. Brass furniture including heavily cast convex Brown Bess trigger guard, flat serpentine Brown Bess sideplate, and two brass ramrod furls. The walnut stock still shows British inspector marks on the right side of the buttstock and behind the trigger guard tang. The stock is unusual, however, as it has no ramrod entry ferrule, and was made this way. About 12-1/2” of the forend have been replace during the period of use. The musket is complete with a period American made steel ramrod. CONDITION: Shows heavy use overall. Barrel retains a freckled salt and pepper patina with some heavy corrosion near the touchhole. The lock appears to be in its original flintlock configuration and retains a freckled gray patina. The cock has had some repairs made to it. Brass furniture shows scattered marks from use, sideplate is cracked through between the two screws and one ramrod furl has some losses. The stock shows heavy edge wear and has several areas of losses, cracking, or damage due to heavy use. Interestingly, the musket was made without a wrist escutcheon and without an entry ferrule, but does have the typical Brown Bess carving around the barrel tang, and the bulge on the forarm. This musket tells an interesting story of American use during the Revolutionary War. 2,000 - 4,000

994 - (A) RELIEF CARVED KENTUCKY LONGRIFLE SIGNED BY C. HAWKEN OF MARYLAND. Manufacturer: Christian Hawken Model: Kentucky Longrifle Caliber/Bore: .50 Rifled Barrel Length: 42 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique Christian Hawken was one of the earliest members of this famous gunsmithing family. The rifled octagonal barrel is inscribed “C. Hawken” on the top flat. The flat lock plate has been converted to percussion and is unmarked. Brass furniture is unengraved, other than the four piece patch box with six piercing and engraved boarders and shading. The rifle features double set triggers. The full length figured maple stock of classed Emmitsburg form is carved with relief scroll work on both sides of the wrist, and a bell flower beneath the cheek piece, and ornately carved with C-scrolls behind the cheek piece, along with a daisy and a checkered oval. There is also relief carved scrolls around the barrel tang. A repair has been made during the period of use with a brass band about 3” from the front of the lockplate. CONDITION: Fair. Barrel retains a dark brown patina and has a clear signature. Some corrosion at breech and a break at the tang. The tang screw has been replaced. The lock plate retains a dark gray patina and the hammer has been replaced, mainspring is missing. The brass furniture and silver oval inlay above the cheek piece have been polished bright. Brass shows some scratching from cleaning and scattered marks. Stock show heavy use and carving shows some wear. The wrist escutcheon is absent, and there are some losses to the rifle’s comb. One ramrod ferrule is missing and about 13” of the forend is replaced, between two original sections. The wooden ramrod is a contemporary replacement. There are some losses along both sides of the forend and some cracking beneath the lock cavity and side plate. This rifle would be a great candidate for restoration as it has exceptional carving and is signed by a famous member of the Hawken family of gunsmiths. 2,500 - 3,500 592

995 - (A) THUNDER VALLEY MODEL 1878 GATLING GUN ON TRIPOD. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1874 Bulldog Gatling Gun Caliber/Bore: .45-70 Barrel Length: 17” FFL Status: Antique This wonderful reproduction with ten barrel cluster with 18 - 1/2” barrels has a brass frame and uses the Accles round donut pattern drum magazine. Marked on the right frame rail “Thunder Valley Machine Co. Clinton, Ohio U.S.A. Serial No. 1001 (1 of 6 built for Reed V Murphy)”. This impressive short barrel Gatling gun is mounted using a brass yoke and steel handled screw elevation system that is mounted on a Thunder Valley steel construction three legged camel mount or tripod. A very unique and early reproduction made by Thunder Valley. CONDITION: Very good overall and possibly unfired. Exterior of gun and brass have attained an even mustard color varnish or patina from being used as a display piece in a gun room. The action and mechanics appear to function properly under manual inspection and operation. These early reproduction Gatling guns had great liberties taken as to the engineering and manufacture and are not to be considered an exact copy of the famed Colt Gatling guns. Ideal for cowboy action use and would look fantastic on display in any great gun room. 17,500 - 27,500

S. S. Niagara, a Navy distillery ship (water purification), built in 1877. For the Spanish American War, it was fitted out by a group of wealthy New Yorkers lead by William Randolph Hearst. The ship was supplied as if she were a yacht, with fancy china and sterling flatware. The crew of 57 included 12 marines. Rifles as well as other accouterments including holsters, cartridge boxes, and belt plates, embossed “Niagara”, were supplied. The “Niagara” saw no action at all and was decommissioned in 1898, and sold for scrap a year later. It seems the Navy was happy not to be interfered with by these millionaires. Frances Bannerman ended up with most of the equipment. It seems that the rifles were offered to members of the crew. (see paperwork) This example with 30” round barrel marked “7M - M. S. M.” (Spanish Mauser) is fitted with Model 1896 three piece front sight and standard military rear. Hand Guard and forend with bayonet lug and cleaning rod are secured by two bands.

1020 - (A) HEAVY BARREL SHARPS MODEL 1874 SPORTING RIFLE. Manufacturer: Sharps Rifle Co. Model: 1874 Serial No. C53271 Caliber/Bore: .44 Percussion Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Antique According to the factory letter, serial No. C53271 was listed in order book No. 1 as an octagon rifle, later termed “1874 Sporting Model”, invoiced at the Hartford factory October 23rd, 1874 and shipped to Tom C. Crowland in the town of Evans in the Colorado Territory. According to the records, it is described as being .44 caliber, case length not specified with 30” full octagon barrel, double triggers, open sights and oil finished stocks. Weight was not given but the price of $42 would indicate a rifle of standard weight (12 lbs or less). As an individual purchaser, Crowland was not tendered a discount. It is highly unusual to find a Western shipped gun to a private citizen rather than a large dealership. Along with the rifle he bought 250 empty shells and a set of reloading implements with wooden case; total came to $54.75. The town of Evans is located in Weld County in Northeastern Colorado; it is named for John Evans, an early territorial governor and is the first county seat of Weld County. Dr. Labowski notes that in 1874, when this rifle was purchased, wild game, including buffalo were certainly plentiful in Northeastern Colorado. Rifle features a full octagon barrel that now measures 28-1/4”, which would indicate that the barrel was slightly shortened during period of use, probably due to damaged muzzle; and the front sight was reset to 1” center with knife blade front sight. Rear sight is a typical ladder sporting sight that is marked “R.S. LAWRENCE PATENT FEBRUARY 15TH 1859”. The barrel is stamped “SHARPS RIFLE MANUFG. CO. HARTFORD CONN.” The walnut forend features the pewter forend tip and the breech of barrel has the typical round collar. Walnut stock is standard. CONDITION: Blued barrel is a mix of brown, gun metal grey and fading blue, giving a smooth, homogenous appearance. Razor sharp edges and perfectly legible factory stamps. Frame is basically gun metal grey patina. Walnut stocks show their years in the wild but are proud to metal, with no cracks or large chips of any kind; there is a 2” area at top of comb that got a little to close to a camp fire at one time. The double set triggers are in complete working condition. Fine action. Bore looks well taken care of with extremely sharp lands and grooves, albeit a bit frosty. Current weight of this rifle is 12.4 lbs. An extremely handsome, Frontier shipped rifle that was certainly in the thick of it as to a true survivor of the Wild Western untamed Frontier and towns of the tumultuous 1870’s. Further research within the two records of areas surround Evans, Colorado Territory may yield some interesting historical events and may even give some inside into the man himself who ordered this rifle. The .44 caliber 1-7/8” Bottleneck cartridge was available until 1875, the .44 caliber 2-1/4”Bottleneck was the first metallic cartridge to appear in a sporting rifle in April of 1869; the .44 caliber 2-5/8” Bottleneck was introduced in June of 1873, often referred to as the .44-90 and favored by buffalo hunters. A chamber cast of this rifle would dispel any mystery as to which of the three this rifle was made for since all three were available when this rifle was manufactured. 6,000 - 8,000

Manufacturer: Sharps Model: Carbine Serial No. 67917 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique Following the Civil War in 1867, the US Government converted numerous Sharps Model 1859, 1863 and 1865 carbines from percussion to centerfire. This work was performed on approximately 31,098 carbines. The barrel was lined with a three groove liner and chambered for the trapdoor caliber .50-70. This allowed the US Government to use up Civil War carbines and reissue them for modern duty in the West. They are extremely historic in that they saw service in the Civil War and the Indian Wars. This particular carbine has been identified to having been issued to William Webster of the 1st Potomac Home Brigade, Maryland Cavalry Company A. This unit consisted of four companies, all were formed between August and November of 1861, based in the Northern Shenandoah Valley. In July 1863 all four Companies fought at the battle of Gettysburg. They were mustered out on June 28th, 1865. Apparently this carbine, which saw use at the battle of Gettysburg, was one of the carbines converted as part of the 1867 Government contract; so its historic use is documented in Gettysburg and further service after that. Complete with reference book listing this gun by serial number, identifying it to the name listed. CONDITION: Barrel retains approximately 95% of the arsenal reapplied blue finish with inspector letter “F” on left side of barrel. Case colored frame has turned soft patina.

Stock attaches to barrels with captive side bolt through oval engraved steel escutcheons. CONDITION: Very fine to excellent. Barrels retain approximately 85% original Damascus brown, with good definition to pattern, most loss due to rear ramrod pipe being re-soldered with associated darkening and cleaning. Other metal parts retain most of their original french gray finish, darkened mostly from accumulated oil.

Locks are good, a bit sluggish from congealed oil. A great handling, high quality percussion gun. MGM 236 2,000 - 3,000

1115 - (A) JAMES PURDEY SECOND MODEL THUMB LEVER ISLAND LOCK HAMMER GAME GUN WITH RARE LOADED CHAMBER INDICATORS Manufacturer: Purdey Model: sxs Serial No. 7928 Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14 - 1/4” cast about 1/2 off Drop at Heel: 2 - 1/4” Drop at Comb: 1 - 7/16” Gauge: 12 Bore Chamber: 2 - 3/4” Internal Bore Diameter: L .726 R .725 Barrel Wall Thickness: L .038 R .035 Choke: L .038 (full) R .020 (mod) Weight: 6 lbs 8 oz With the advent of the centerfire breech loader, cartridges were completely hidden when gun was closed. During the pinfire era one could see at a glance by observing the protruding pin whether a gun was loaded or not. To obviate that objection to the new fangled centerfire gun, Purdey patented (no. 1464 of 1866) a loaded indicator. With a cartridge in a closed chamber a lever would cam a pin upward to protrude from the top of the standing breech just like a pinfire. This solid example of an action with this rare feature has 28” barrels engraved “J. Purdey. 314 1/2 Oxford Street. London.”

1116 - (A) JAMES PURDEY FIRST MODEL THUMBHOLE LEVER GAME GUN INCORPORATING PURDEYS PATENT 424 OF 1865. Manufacturer: Purdey Model: SXS 1st Model Serial No. 7270B Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14” Drop at Heel: 2 - 1/8” Drop at Comb: 1 - 9/16” Gauge: 12 Bore Chamber: 2 - 1/2” Internal Bore Diameter: L .732 R .733 Barrel Wall Thickness: L .030 R .024 Choke: L .025 (Mod) R .025 (Mod) Weight: 6 lbs 10 oz (1866) The earliest Purdey guns made on their under bolt snap action patent opened by under levers accessed through a hole in trigger guard bow. This example features 30” fine Damascus barrels engraved “2” on narrow, concave game rib. Barrel flats are stamped with London black powder proofs and Birmingham nitro re-proofs for 2 - 1/2”

on narrow, swamped game rib. Barrel flats are stamped with London 2002 nitro proofs for 2 3/4” chambers, and “SLEEVED”. Round bodied action is of Purdey’s second type with thumbhole opening lever. Back spring island locks are fitted with round bodied serpentine rebounding hammers with stylized dolphin heads. Action and locks are engraved with 70% coverage well cut small scroll. Top of action is engraved “Patent”. Bottom of action is engraved “Purdey’s Patent”. Each lockplate is engraved “Purdey”. Newer lightly streaked and figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14 - 1/4” over checkered wood butt with steel heel and toe plates. Classic point pattern checkering is at grip, and a vacant brass oval is on toe line. Original fully checkered splinter forend attaches to barrels with sliding side bolt through shaped and engraved steel escutcheons. CONDITION: Very good, as refurbished. Barrels retain nearly all “best” London blue applied at time of sleeving. Action and lockplates cleaned to coin finish. Opening lever, trigger guard and hammers are re-blued, and retain essentially all of that blue. New buttstock retains essentially all of its hand rubbed oil finish. Checkering of forend re-cut. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Locks are excellent. This would be a great gun for the Vintager or bird hunter aspiring to shoot a Purdey. MGM 147 3,000 - 6,000

chambers, along with Purdey’s four bullet trademark. Serial numbers with B suffix are stamped on bottoms of barrels. Round bodied action with long first model under lever is fitted with peninsula back spring locks with round bodied serpentine hammers having vestigial pinfire type heads. This early centerfire gun has firing pins retracted from case heads by sliding links, actuated by slots in backs of hammers. Hammers have pads filed into front edges striking these links to fire cartridge. This firing mechanism was protected by Purdey’s patent number 424 of 1865. (A similar example no. 7202 with Jones underlever is illustrated on page 186 of JAMES PURDEY AND SONS TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF EXCELLENCE by Donald Dallas.) Action and locks are engraved with 60% coverage well cut shaded scroll. Top of action is engraved “PATENT”. “Purdey” is on each lockplate. Remnants of serial number are on trigger guard bow. Well marbled European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14” over steel buttplate. Standard point pattern checkering is at grip, and a silver oval engraved with a rampant lion stomping on a crown, is on toe line. Matching splinter fully checkered forend with “2” engraved on tip, attaches to barrels with sliding side bolt through shaped and engraved steel escutcheons. CONDITION: Good. Barrels retain most of an old re-brown. Action is gray to brown, lightly frosted in spots with some scattered pitting. Trigger guard tang heavily pitted. Stocks have most of an oil refinish. Checkering re-cut. Bores are fine, shiny, cleaned over scattered pitting. Locks are excellent. Action is tight. An interesting early Purdey centerfire. MGM 146 2,500 - 4,000

1117 - (A) RARE JAMES PURDEY “QUALITY E” 16 GAUGE SINGLE BARREL ISLAND LOCK HAMMER GUN. Manufacturer: Purdey Model: Single Barrel Serial No. 15621 Barrel Length: 29 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14 - 5/8” Drop at Heel: 2 - 1/2” Drop at Comb: 1 - 3/8” Gauge: 16 Bore Chamber: 2 - 1/2” Internal Bore Diameter: .666 Barrel Wall Thickness: .04 Choke: .003 (IC) Weight: 5 lbs 2 oz

1118 - (A) VERY EARLY PURDEY FLINTLOCK GAME GUN CONVERTED TO PERCUSSION BY TRULOCK & SON WITH CASE. Manufacturer: Purdey/ Trulock & Son Model: SXS Serial No. Purdey gun 284 Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14 - 1/4” Drop at Heel: 1 - 11/16” Drop at Comb: 1 - 7/16” Gauge: 16 Bore Weight: 6 lbs 14 oz Purdey records do not list any information for this very early gun (SN 284), nor is it listed or noted in THE EARLY PURDEYS by L. Patrick Unsworth. Records do exist for 279, 285, 286, etc. with spotty information thereafter. The first percussion Purdey gun dates from around the time of this gun (1821). It appears, however, that this gun was originally made as a flintlock and was fitted with Wyatt patent grip safety and safety lever. It presently has 30” Skelp twist barrels with slightly raised rib engraved “J. Purdey Princes Strt. Leicester Square London”. Bottoms of barrels are stamped with London black powder proofs, serial number (284), and “CL” (Charles Lancaster barrel forger, who supplied most tubes to Purdeys in their early years.). An ebony ramrod with brass tip is held by two plain pipes. Non-vented breech plugs have scroll filed fences. Matching bolsters have been added to barrels. Breech iron is of later type with integral fences. On Purdey flintlocks and early percussion guns, fences were part of the lockplates. It is generally believed that Purdeys were the 642

(1896) In order to capture a larger market share in the late 1870’s, Purdeys began marketing guns of other than “best” quality. Most were purchased “in the white” from the trade and finished at Purdeys. These guns were plainly marked on the water table with Purdeys four bullet trademark and their quality letter (A through E). This single barrel hammer gun was pictured in the 1885 catalog as a “youth’s single gun”. Examples are quite rare. It has 29 - 1/2” barrel with nock form at breech end. Top is engraved with Purdey’s Audley House address. Bottom of barrel is stamped with London black powder proofs and Birmingham nitro re-proofs for 2 - 1/2” chamber. Rounded top lever action is engraved with sprays of scroll. Back spring, island lock with serpentine rebounding hammer is engraved to match and with “J. Purdey & Sons”. Matching trigger guard has serial number on tang. Nicely streaked and lightly figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14 - 5/8” over checkered wood butt over 2 - 1/2” finely painted in lengthening piece, and has standard point pattern checkering at grip and vacant silver oval on bottom. Matching splinter forend with horn tip has Anson release. CONDITION: Good. Barrel retains most of an old re-black. Action and locks cleaned to silver gray with some scratches. Engraving softened. Stocks retain most of an old oil refinish applied at time of lengthening piece. Checkering has not been re-cut. Bore is excellent. Action is tight. Lock is excellent. MGM 148 2,000 - 3,000 first to move fences to breech irons, with earliest known gun so equipped was number 584 (ca 1824). Lockplates with early style flat faced hammers, are engraved “Trulock & Son” and it appears that the plates were replaced at the time of conversion, but with internal mechanism retained. Bridles are still pierced for rear bearing for a pivoting safety lever which engaged a notch on the bottom edge of the cock to prevent accidental discharge while loading, as was part of Wyatt’s patent. Present lockplates do not have corresponding pivot hole for this lever, nor do they appear to be plugged. Trigger plate with stylized pineapple finial is fitted with grip safety which locks triggers until squeezed, and is the other part of the patent. Breech iron and locks are engraved with some well cut scroll. Safety lever is engraved in differing scroll that matches trigger guard bow. “Patent” is on central ribbon. What is most likely original Purdey stock measures 14 - 1/4” over engraved steel buttplate with long top spur. Stock is of dense stump figured European walnut and has point pattern checkering wrapping around grip. A vacant silver rectangle is at top of grip. Stock attaches to barrels with captive side bolt through oval silver escutcheons. Gun is housed in old correct period mahogany case with inlet brass corners, D ring handle on top, and pivoting hook closure. Case is lined in green felt, and contains some tools and flasks. CONDITION: Fine, as refurbished. Barrels retain nearly all of a dramatic re-brown. Other metal parts are mottled silvery gray, perhaps with traces of color where protected. Hammers are temper blued. Stock retains most of what appears to be an old french polish refinish with oil added as maintenance, with numerous light marks and scratches. Checkering is lightly worn. Bores are fine, shiny, but lightly frosted. Locks are excellent. Grip safety works. Case has many marks, stains, and scratches on exterior, with new oil over old surface. There are some cracks in top on hinge edge. Renewed felt is good. Accessories are fair to good. Included are correspondence with Purdeys regarding this gun and other Purdey guns, along with some information on Trulock. There are only 24 earlier Purdeys than this one either listed in records or known to Unsworth in 1996. MGM 204 3,000 - 6,000

1119 - (A) REMINGTON WHITMORE MODEL 1878 GRADE 6 (?), 10 BORE DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN.

This gun has 32” barrels of bold, two stripe Damascus. Broad concave game rib is engraved “E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y.” Barrel flats are stamped with serial number and bottoms of barrels with “3”. Lifter action is fitted with bar rebounding locks, fitted with round bodied serpentine hammers with flat noses, and is engraved in a pattern

1120 - (A) NICELY RESTORED J. RIGBY & CO. UNDERLEVER RISING BITE SIDELOCK SHOTGUN Manufacturer: Rigby & Co. Model: SXS Serial No. 15282 Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14 - 3/4” Drop at Heel: 2 - 1/4” Drop at Comb: 1 - 1/4” Gauge: 12 Bore Chamber: 2 - 5/8” Internal Bore Diameter: L .730 R .733 Barrel Wall Thickness: L .036 R .032 Choke: L .010 (IC) R .006 (IC) Weight: 6 lbs 11 oz. (1882) 28” Dovetailed steel barrels are engraved “Jno. Rigby & Co 72 St. James Street London and Dublin” in script on slightly swamped game rib which has extension for third bite. Barrel flats are stamped with London black powder proofs, Rigby trademarks, and “NOT FOR BALL”. Initials “TB” are stamped on bottom of barrels. Case hardened sidelock action opening with underlever over guard has Bissell’s patent

that closely resembles that on a Model 1875 grade 5 illustrated in REMINGTON DOUBLE SHOTGUNS by Charles Semmer, on page 44 with 50% coverage of well cut sprays of scroll with game scenes at fronts of lockplates; a dog chases a rabbit on left, and a pointer points a pair of quail on right. Trigger guard bow is scroll engraved. Later guns of grade 6 were the only ones to have game scenes, so the actual grade of this gun is in question. Lightly marbled European walnut round knob pistol grip ($5.00 option) stock measures 14” over steel buttplate. Well cut borderless point pattern checkering is at grip. Grade 6 guns normally have fancier checkering. Matching splinter forend with inset ebony tip (found on grade 6 guns) attaches to barrels with sliding bolt through oval steel escutcheons. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Barrels retain most of their bold Damascus finish. Action and locks have 20 - 30% original case hardening color. Stocks retain most of their original finish with a considerable amount of marks and dings. Checkering is lightly worn. Bores are good with scattered pitting throughout. Action is tight. Locks are fine. Left hammer screw broken, missing head. A good example of this scarce high grade Remington. MGM 128 2,500 - 4,000

rising bite third fastener. Breech face is stamped with “TB” monogram along with Rigby and Bissell patent use number “156”. Thomas Bissell made most of the guns for Rigby’s using this patent. His serial number “1232” is also on breechface. Action also features automatic safety and double triggers. Fences are nicely filed in Rigbys normal foliate style. Action is engraved with near full coverage well cut open shaded scroll. “Jno Rigby & Co” is on each lockplate. Trigger guard has serial number on tang. Nicely marbled and figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14 - 3/4” over red leather covered pad. Elongated tear drop points are behind dipped edge locks. Flat top point pattern checkering is at grip and a vacant silver oval is on toe line. Matching splinter forend has pivoting side lever release engraved “Rigby’s Patent”. CONDITION: Excellent, as restored, retaining nearly all first class London type renewed finishes on metal and wood surfaces, engraving re-cut on barrels and trigger guard. Checkering competently re-cut. Bores appear excellent, dirty. Action is tight. (New hinge pin, nicely fitted.) An eye catching classic Rigby with great dimensions. MGM 170 4,000 - 8,000

Trigger plate has stylized pineapple finial and guard with scrolled grip is engraved with dog on bow and starburst on top of grip. Dense, nicely marbled European walnut stock measures 13 - 3/4” over steel buttplate with long top tang and features swept shadow line right hand cheekpiece, closely spaced point pattern checkering with mullered borders at

Wood at tops of locks at rear of barrel channels replaced, otherwise stock is sound and most likely shootable. Bores are bright and shiny, lightly cleaned. Locks and frizzens are very fine. Undoubtedly spark well. Area around barrel retaining bolt has seen some work. Case is fine with old finish on exterior, possibly original with some added oil over numerous scratches and marks. Original interior cloth is fine, but quite presentable. Areas rubbed through have been patched. Label is fine, chipped on edges, somewhat foxed. Partitions are good. Accessories are generally fine. Leather of shot snake considerably worn and limp. This lovely old gun with no noted mechanical problems or replacements would undoubtedly make a first class shooter. Lots of fun for put and take quail. MGM 205 8,000 - 14,000

CONDITON: Revolver retains approximately 95% of the reapplied nickel finish. Indexes and locks up fine. Well defined rifled bore with black powder abrasion. Original grips fit tight but are worn smooth in spots. This police department was established at the beginning of e Civil War and they were integral to the investigation of the assassination of President James Garfield in 1881. It is interesting to note that they once arrested President Ulysses S. Grant for speeding, issuing four citations and upon the fourth citation he sped off, resulting in his arrest. Factory letter states serial number 14555 shipped with 3-1/2” barrel, nickel finish, rubber grips, in .38 caliber to J.P. Moore’s & Sons, New York on August 13th, 1879 in a 252 gun shipment with a note “for Maj. Theo P. Morgan”. We researched Morgan on the Metropolitan Police Website and found a Major Thomas P. Morgan who was with the department and who retired in November of 1879, three months after this gun was shipped. We are sure this is the same person and was probably a typo on the factory ledger. The following is information on Thomas P. Morgan: Major Thomas P. Morgan was born in 1821 in the town of Alexandria (Virginia) when Alexandria was part of the District of Columbia. In 1873 he was placed on the Board of Fire Commissioners, where he remained until February 2, 1878, at which time he was selected to replace Major A.C. Richards and the now defunct Police Board of Commissioners, which had been dissolved by President Grant. During his brief tenure as Chief of Police, Morgan oversaw the addition of an ambulance service maintained by the police department, and saw that a retirement provision was made for the older policemen who had served for many years, but were no longer physically capable of performing their duties. Major Morgan was quickly made District Commissioner, less than two years after being appointed to the police department. He resigned as Superintendent on November 29, 1879, and took over the office of Commissioner. He then retired from public life and returned to his businesses. 1,250 - 1,750

1740 - (A) THREE BARREL PERCUSSION COMBINATION KENTUCKY FOWLER.

Bottoms of barrels are stamped with pre 1887 Birmingham black powder proofs. Bar-in-Wood action is of Westley Richards unique “crab joint” style, so named because both the action bar including pivot and forend iron are encased in wood. In order for the forend to hinge correctly it is fitted to the buttstock wood, the result is a hinged joint resembling the juncture of a crabs claw and arm. As with most early Westley Richards breechloading guns and rifles, the only locking bolt on this gun is Westley Richards patented top fastener which engages a slot in dolls head rib extension. Action is fitted with front spring, rebounding locks, with flat faced serpentine hammers having stylized dolphin heads. Firing pins are of 2 piece camming type. Action and lockplates are engraved with 70% coverage nicely cut scroll. Serial number is on trigger guard tang. Fiddle figured European walnut stock measures 14 - 3/8” over checkered wood butt on 1 - 3/4” lengthening piece. Broadly spaced point pattern checkering is at grip. Matching splinter forend with horn tip has Deeley release. CONDITION: Good. Barrels have brown patina, engraving considerably washed. Action and locks cleaned silver to gray. Stock has most of an old oil refinish. Checkering re-cut. Bores are fair to good, lightly pitted throughout, with evidence of many dents being removed, and a slight bulge 12” from breech end of right barrel. Action is tight. (A testament to the strength of this patent action.) Locks are fine. There is a repaired crack in buttstock wood behind forend. MGM 144 1,000 - 2,000

Barrel Length: 25”, 30”, 20” FFL Status: Modern

First gun is a Colt Lightning Slide Action Rifle in .44-40 Caliber. This rifle was made in 1885, the second year of production. Features: full round barrel, full magazine, sporting sights, two piece checkered walnut fore end, walnut butt stock with rifle butt. All legends are razor sharp on top of barrel, as is pony on left side of frame. Metal is completely devoid of any original finish and now presents itself in gunmetal grey with scattered brown freckling. Has a few replaced screws that do not fit. Some light scratching on left side where forward screw was attempted to be fitted. Walnut fore end is almost completely devoid of checkering, and the left panel has a 2 inch chunk missing. Butt stock has a stress crack running from lower tang for approximately five inches. Toe has numerous small age cracks. Wrist has pin repair. Wood is shy to metal, having been refinished. Action works fine. Bore has well defined rifling but does exhibit areas of abrasion and residue from black powder. The rear sight has been replaced and has most of its original blue, which defies the balance of the gun. Gun 2 is a scarce Evans repeating sporting rifle. These unusual rifles were manufactured in Maine and featured an S lever action and held the most firepower of any repeating lever action built at the time. These were built from 1873 - 1879 and were offered in the sporting rifle, military musket, and the carbine. Came in both old and transition models. This is a new model. the only mass produced firearm attempted in the state of Maine. This rifle held 34 rounds at one time. Sporting model features the military style rear sight, blade front sight, checkered walnut fore end, and two piece walnut butt stock that encased the exposed rear loading tube. The barrel is devoid of finish. Stocks are very good to excellent. Frame and exposed tube retain approximately 70% original blue on the right side and approximately 60% on the left. Screws are basically true. There are traces of case color on the lever in hidden areas. There is a single sling swivel at the forward section of the frame. Fore end has a bit of chipping at the tip. Action works fine. Barrel has nice pronounced rifling with some corrosion and black powder residue. Gun Three is a replica 1866 SRC. While technically not a replica, we do not know what this is. It has a mix of old parts, with new stocks, and no markings anywhere on the gun to indicate manufacturer. No Italian stamps. Barrel and tube have a wipe down finish over pitting. Forward section of the brass frame is very good while the rear looks newly cast. Is it some faked up Italian or some private manufacture? Looks more old than faked. Has a rough bore. Features the newer 1866 rear sight. We don’t know who made it, but it would look good on a wall. 1,200 - 1,500

They had a perfectly shaped round bag handles made of varnished walnut, were not too heavy, top firing and very reliable with a heavy trigger pull not suitable to some of the resident dandies but easily tamed by any normal size person. The barrels were fluted where you can find the maker’s mark on one panel. Manufactured in Worcester. CONDITION: Fluted barrels are presently a smooth, homogenous soft brown patina. Frame is lightly engraved, currently in the white and sports the detachable nipple shield. Walnut bag handles are beautiful.
