JAMES PHILLIP CYR Jim was born on September 27th, 1937, in Westwood, California. Upon graduating from Westwood High School in 1955, Jim joined the Air Force in 1956. He was stationed at George Air Force Base in Victorville, California as a weapons specialist on the F-100 Super Sabre. During his enlistment Jim completed two tours in Spain at Moron Air Force Base in the 34th Fighter Squadron of the 413th Wing. In 1960 he was discharged as an Airman First Class Jim found work with the Standard Oil Company and married his first wife in 1960. She passed away in 1999. Jim also had a cattle ranch as well as other businesses. It didn’t matter if Jim was on a horse working cows, running the swather or fixing fence he could be found there from dusk till dawn. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Outside of Jim’s profound love for his family and friends, he had two passions in life, his cattle ranch and his gun collection. Jim loved every day on the ranch when he wasn’t “playing guns” or traveling to gun shows. A lifelong passion for Winchesters and their history defined Jim’s passion for firearms; meticulously purchasing, researching and cleaning every gun before finally cataloging each one. He ultimately outgrew the 1000 sq. foot gun safe he had built. Jim’s vast knowledge was always shared with anyone who had a desire to see and learn about the pieces. Many of the pieces were displayed in the Schminck Memorial Museum along with his hand re-loading tools. A second marriage came along in 2007. Jim convinced Judy to retire and travel with him to gun shows all over the western United States. These were some of the best years of their lives, making memories and dear friends along the way. Jim and Judy’s last gun show was in Winnemucca, Nevada where Jim suffered a stroke resulting in memory loss. A soft spoken, kind gentleman, proud, honest, hardworking and steadfast in his beliefs and faith. He loved God and his country, had a great sense of humor and was quick to crack a joke always putting a smile on your face. He never turned anyone away, always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Jim was a lifetime member of the Winchester Ams Collectors Association.

The following lots are part of the Jim Cyr Collection: 1326-1408, 1600-1601, 2459-2664, and 3093-3132

LARRY L. RUTH Larry L Ruth was an established author and arms collector, who spent more than sixty years researching and writing on the U.S. .30 cal. carbines of WWII and beyond. He was the author of six books on the carbines, most notably the three-volume series, War Baby! (Toronto: Collector Grade Publications), which is widely recognized as the most important work on the history of the American .30 cal. carbine self-loading rifles. Larry was born in the home of his grandparents in Newmanstown, PA, on 26 April 1940 and grew up in Fort Washington PA. He was an Eagle Scout, earning Order of the Arrow, and worked at a Boy Scouts of America camp in the Adirondacks. Later, he would serve as an Assistant Scout Master in Webster, New York. Mr. Ruth attended Pennsylvania’s Kutztown State Teacher’s College (now Kutztown University) where he earned both his BS and MS.Ed in Art Education. He taught art for forty-one years in the New York public school system with thirty-nine of those years for the Wayne Central School District located in Ontario, NY. He served as president of the Wayne Central Teachers Association, the Wayne County Teachers Association (now the Wayne County Association of Educators), the Board of Directors for the National Education Association of New York (NEA/NY) and the Board of Directors for the National Education Association. Mr. Ruth was also active in his local community, serving for more than twenty years on the Walworth and Wayne County planning boards, and for eight years as a Walworth Town Councilman. On October 21, 1972 Larry married Jacqueline Frye of Jersey Shore, PA. They have four children, now adult: three sons and a daughter. They are the proud grandparents of five granddaughters. Mr. Ruth’s grandfather, Joshua K. Haak, had served in the infantry during the First World War, This affiliation allowed Mr. Ruth membership in the Sons of the American Legion , Meyers-Ingraham Post, Ontario, NY, in which he held various leadership positions. Larry’s uncle, Russell Ruth, flew 30 missions with the 91st Bomb Group out of Bassingbourn England from 1943-1945 as a ball turret gunner on B-17 Destiny’s Child. Larry served as a Director and 2nd Vice-President of the 91st Bombardment Group Memorial Association. Mr. Ruth’s interest in guns grew from hunting with his grandfather. His focus on the U.S. .30 cal. carbines began in the early 1960’s. Later his interest in documenting their history led him to personally contact and interview employees and management of many of the prime contractors who manufactured the carbines during WWII. He travelled the country to conduct research at various archives along with military and civilian firearm museums. He became an active member of The Carbine Club (now The Carbine Collector’s Club) to access the research, knowledge, and collections of others throughout the world who contributed to his efforts to share the history with others in his books. • M1 Carbine, Design, Development, & Production (Gun Room Press, 1979) • War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Volume I (Collector Grade Publications, 1992) • The M1 Carbine Owner’s Guide, with Scott Duff (Scott A. Duff Publications, 1999) • War Baby! Comes Home - The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Volume II (Collector Grade Publications, 2001) • War Baby! The US Carbine into the 21st Century, Volume III (Collector Grade Publications, 2013) • The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Technical Drawings & Data (John A. Baum, 2021) He was working on a revision of War Baby! Volume III at the time of his passing in Walworth, NY, 1 May 2022. Additionally, Larry routinely networked with other authors such as Scott Duff, Tom Laemlein, and Bruce Canfield to name a few, where he contributed to the books and articles they authored. Larry’s books are the standard reference works for .30 cal. carbine information used by archives, museums, law enforcement, researchers, and collectors literally worldwide. Over his 60 years of research, Larry collected a wide variety of .30 cal. carbine related firearms, parts, accessories, and more to learn from and use as reference material. A number of these items are now located in various museums throughout the U.S.A. Jim Mock, researcher and author of the website uscarbinecal30.com, described Mr. Ruth by saying “No one single person has contributed or shared as much on the history of the U.S. .30 cal. carbines as Larry has”. The following lots are part of the Larry Ruth Collection: 1275-1287 and 2340-2360

CAL PAPPAS Cal Pappas (1955-2022) was born in Greenfield, Massachusetts and developed a great love of the outdoors, hunting, and indigenous people of Alaska, Australia, and Africa. He was an active member of the double rifle and African hunting communities, freely sharing his own expertise and experiences with interested individuals. He wrote for numerous magazines including “African Hunter Magazine”, frequented several hunting and gun forums, maintained his own web site, and authored four books. Cal first published a biography of fellow Alaska resident and teacher James Watts who in 1948 developed the 450 Watts cartridge for dangerous game, predating the 458 Winchester Magnum and the later 458 Lott. His 30+ year interest in double rifles and dangerous game hunting resulted in the publication of “The 600 Nitro Express”, “British Bore Rifles”, and “The Double Rifle Primer”. For many years Cal hosted an annual double rifle shoot in Alaska and frequented local gun shows enthusiastically answering questions and sharing his experiences. Cal was a faculty member at AJ Dimond High School for over 20 years, teaching American History, Industrial Arts, and coaching gymnastics and riflery. He was committed to the betterment of Alaska children and often maintained long term relationships with students as they transitioned into adulthood. Cal is remembered most for his candor, knowledge, generosity, and perhaps most of all for his great taste in music (60’s)! Offered for sale are 16 firearms from Cal’s personal collection many of which he used on his numerous hunting adventures. Accompanying most lots are loading accessories, brass, bullets, and a copy of one of his associated publications.

The following lots are part of the Cal Pappas Collection: 1490, 1495-1499, 1502-1508, 1510-1511, 2434, and 3003

1006 - (N) S&H ARMS 10/22 MACHINE GUN AUTO SEAR AND JOHN NORRELL ARMS INTEGRALLY SUPPRESSED BARREL ON RUGER 10/22 HOST GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: (Sear) S&H Arms (Silencer) John Norrell Arms (Gun) Ruger Model: (Sear) 10-22 (Silencer) N/A (Gun) 10/22 Serial No. (Silencer) S-102785A (Gun) 126-93517 Sear Serial No. 442 Caliber/Bore: .22 Long Rifle Barrel Length: 11” FFL Status: NFA This is a two-transfer stamp item as the suppressor is one NFA item, and the S&H Arms 10/22 sear pack would incur a 2nd NFA transfer tax if these were transferred on ATF Form 4s. These auto sear packs were designed by John Norrell, and manufactured/registered by S&H Arms of Oklahoma. Installation of one of these sear packs into a Ruger 10/22 host gun makes the gun into a machine gun. For this specimen offered here, a previous owner went further and fitted a John Norrell Arms registered suppressor to the Ruger host receiver. So there are actually three firearms items here. The host gun receiver (126-93517), then the suppressor (S102785A), and finally the Sear-Pack (442). The 10/22 Ruger with a registered Auto-Sear pack is one of the most popular .22 LR machine guns available. One can easily understand why, as the basic gun design is tried and true, magazines are readily available, and a variety of models and options are available, such as this offering with an integral suppressor and a folding stock. No magazine present, but there are a wide variety readily available. Electronic NFA registry indicates “S AND H ARMS INC OF OKLAHOMA” as the manufacturer of the auto sear, and “JOHN NORRELL ARMS INC” as the manufacturer of the integral suppressed barrel. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original anodized and blued finish with some loss of finish at the high edges. The composite parts are near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. It is very rare that one of these sear packs surface for public sale. Usually, they are snapped up by “friends” of the owners as soon as they become available. THIS LOT INCLUDES TWO NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEMS AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THESE ITEMS ARE FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON TWO SEPARATE TRANSFER ATF FORMS 3 OR 4. 2024-09-102. 17,000 - 22,000

1007 - (N) THREE POSITION SELECTOR FIXED STOCK FACTORY ORIGINAL HK MP5A2 MACHINE GUN (UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: Heckler and Koch Model: MP5A2 Serial No. C317568 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 8.85” FFL Status: NFA Three position “S, E, F” selector Heckler & Koch MP5 registered receiver machine gun manufactured in 1984 according to “IE” proof code on top of receiver. Marked “Made in W. Germany / HK Chantilly, Va” on right side of magazine well and “HK MP5” on top of receiver. This MP5 is also marked “T&E Only”. It stands for “Testing and Evaluation Only”. This is a marking found on original factory guns, which are almost all found as dealer samples in the United States. This cataloger needs to emphasize the fact that this is a factory original MP5, not a remanufactured or installed auto-sear gun. This specimen incorporates a fixed stock and horizontal forend. One original, “9 X 19” marked magazine included. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATF) is in the process of removing restrictions on what they call “GOVT Use Exception” previously Pre-86 Dealer Sample restricted machine guns. This is one such gun. Guns imported which were designated as Pre-86 Dealer Samples that fall into the special category of going immediately into the possession of Law Enforcement for a significant period of time are eligible to have their restrictions removed and become Fully Transferable to individuals. Manufacturer’s information, such as “Imported NFA Firearm”, is not being changed incidental to this process. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original black hard coat finish. Composite furnishings of buttstock and pistol grip also near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. The very few factory original Heckler & Koch guns which are becoming fully transferable to individuals will undoubtedly command a premium now and into the foreseeable future. Something for the discerning and forward thinking collector/investor as well as the shooting enthusiast. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4. JWK 2024-09-055 35,000 - 45,000

1008 - (N) HIGH CONDITION FACTORY ORIGINAL IMI MINI UZI MACHINE GUN (UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: Israel Military Industries Model: Mini Uzi Serial No. MU01050 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 7 - 3/4” FFL Status: NFA One of three being offered in this auction, this is an unprecedented opportunity for a private citizen to acquire and own an original factory produced Israeli Military Industries Mini Uzi. Marked “MINI UZI” on left side of the receiver over “9mm Para” over serial number, and, on underside of receiver, “ACTION ARMS LTD” over “PHILA, PA” over “IMI ISRAEL”. The selector is marked, “A R S”. One original 25 round magazine is included with this lot. The Uzi as a model is a highly effective and accurate machine gun in the hands of a practiced user. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATF) is in the process of removing restrictions on previously Pre-86 Dealer Sample restricted machine guns which meet special and specific criteria of “GOV Exception Use”. This is one such gun. Manufacturer’s information such as, “Imported NFA Firearm” is not being changed incidental to this process. Please note that we have official verification from the BATF that this gun is indeed unrestricted and fully transferable to individuals. Also, dealers, please note: Just because what you thought was a Pre-86 Dealer Sample now shows as “white” in your electronic NFA registry listing online is not a conclusive indicator that restrictions have been removed from that item. One must inquire specifically by serial number to the BATF in writing in order to verify that restrictions have been removed. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original factory matte blue finish on receiver with black enamel finish on lower assembly and folding shoulder brace, with very little evidence of firing. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. This particular model with folding stock is the most sought after of the different models produced based solely on queries this cataloger has received. Add to this the fact that this is factory original gun and one has a particularly desirable and rare 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. JWK 2024-09-044. 20,000 - 30,000

Manufacturer: Germany Model: LMG 08/15 Serial No. 5 Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: NFA This is the most incredible find and opportunity for the advanced World War 1 German machine gun collector. Not only is this without a doubt one the earliest manufactured Maxim LMG 08/15 in the National Firearms Act Registry and available for private ownership in the United States, but it also retains its matching lock and many other of its original matching parts. The longtime owner of this gun added some standard yet top-condition standard 08/15 parts to this gun to enable it to be fired. This only enhances the desirability of this piece. The following parts are serial numbered “5” in this gun: Receiver, shroud, top cover, top cover retention latch, fusee cover, charging handle, and feed block (including the upper and lower feed arms, which are unmolested). The following parts are unnumbered: muzzle booster, original front and rear sights, drum hanger, cocking handle, and roller assembly (factory original, nonetheless). The following parts are mismatched: Pistol grip assembly, including trigger, buttstock assembly, and barrel. In short, with the exception of the barrel, everything which could be matching from the factory on this gun, is. An original 08/15 belt holding “drum” is included with this lot, as well as a fabricated steel stand and pedestal shaft fixture with a machined socket to match the 08/15 bipod knuckle. A corresponding fixture has been fabricated and attached to the original mounting point on the gun so that it can be displayed, or attached to a bipod, or tripod, and fired. A very clever and functional arrangement. This gun would have been one of the very first produced at the German State arsenal at Spandau in late 1916 after the German air service got a look at the “new” Maxim 08/15. Spandau went on the produce over 23,000 more of these aircraft LMG 08/15’s. Among the most notable differences from the standard ground 08/15, the Klingstrom device on the right side allowed the gun to be cocked and loaded with one hand, a critical need in the air. One can observe the holes at the front bottom of the receiver box of this gun where the synchronization apparatus would have been attached, but this accessory is not present. Non-vintage retention bolts and nuts at forward edge of top cover, and at bottom of shoulder stock (correct originals are readily obtainable). Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original blue finish with some thinning of the finish at the high edges, and gray patina where the synchronization apparatus was removed. Fusee cover finish is thinning to a pleasing gray/brown patina. Some brown patina starting to form on the perforated shroud and on the muzzle booster. Drum hanger is a uniform rough brown patina. Buttstock is extremely fine to near excellent. Pistol grip has worn checkering but otherwise is extremely fine. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Lock is extremely fine to near excellent. Drum is extremely fine, in original dark green paint. This is a full-auto-only machine gun. This cataloger has seen many Maxim guns and even had the pleasure to enjoy the hospitality of the collector who has more LMG 08/15’s than anybody else in the United States (and probably the world). None have been more impressive than this specimen offered here. Not just the low serial number, but condition, the matching numbered original parts, and the tasteful and thoughtful way in which it has been enabled to be fire recreationally from time to time, sets this gun into a class all its own. An outstanding opportunity for the advanced and forwardthinking collector/investor. 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 2024-05-027. 30,000 - 40,000

Manufacturer: Fleming Firearms Model: HK Sear Serial No. H1189 Caliber/Bore: Multi FFL Status: NFA This is a registered Fleming auto-sear pack in a “tabbed” four position, “pictograph” trigger frame. The registration number is on the front of the sear itself. The versatility of moving registered auto sears from different host guns of different configurations and calibers is very attractive, and having a burst selection available in addition to semi-auto and full-auto increases the desirability of an auto-sear. The Heckler & Koch machine guns are top performers. Reliable, well-made, and featured in numerous iconic films. These sears have attained the status of investment vehicles as well due to their desirability and demand. Electronic NFA registry indicates “FLEMING, WILLIAM DBA FLEMING FIREARMS” as the manufacturer. Electronic NFA registry indicates “9” as the caliber, but this can be updated to have, “Additional configuration calibers” when making a paper transfer application.

1011 - (N) GERMAN MP43/I MACHINE GUN (CURIO AND RELIC). Manufacturer: Germany Model: MP43/I Serial No. 3570c Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Kurz Barrel Length: 16” FFL Status: NFA Truly an exceptional specimen of the rare German MP-43/1 machine gun as manufactured by “fxo” (C.G. Haenel) in 1943 with clear “WaA 37” and “cos” (Mertzwerke) proofs on receiver forward of the magazine housing. There are numerous Nazi proofs on this gun including “cos” (Mertzwerke) on the stock hardware, which was a sub-contractor who supplied stamped metal parts for many German weapons. Operating piston and early style bolt (without cut-out) are matching, manufactured by “ar” (Mauser) with factory applied numbers and “WaA 26”. Wood butt hardware has clear and very attractive proofmarks. Includes one original “MP-43” “bte” 30 round magazine. The MP43/1 actually was the first evolution from the Mkb-42 and a predecessor to the MP-43. Not only does this model exhibit a fit and finish of the highest standards, but it is recognizable by the longer removable muzzle nut which protected the threads at the muzzle intended for mounting accessories. This is an early iteration of the first true modern “assault rifle” chambered for a shorter than standard rifle cartridge (33 mm vs 57 mm), that, although less powerful than the standard 8 mm German rifle round, was still very effective at up to medium ranges where most combat took place. This allowed the individual soldier to carry plenty of ammunition in 30-round magazines so that the rifle could be effective in close quarters combat for extended period. This was particularly effective when fighting against the robust manpower contained in Russian military formations on the Eastern Front. A vast improvement in sustainable firepower over the standard 98K German rifle. Capable of both semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire with the pressing of a switch at the side of the receiver, this first modern “assault rifle” could fill the role of a deliberate aimed fire weapon, as well as that of a suppressing fire weapon. This rifle was constructed of metal stampings to the maximum extent possible to save production time and cost. Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” as the manufacturer of this gun. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original finish on metal, exclusive of the of the metal at the toe and heel of the buttstock, which has a more lustrous blue refinish. Wood is attractive with light handling marks and bruises. Original wood grips are extremely fine. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp, smooth and positive. An exceptional specimen of a very difficult variant of the MP-43, MP-44, STG-44 assault rifle weapons of WWII. 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 2024-09-048. 30,000 - 40,000

1015 - (N) VERY EARLY 3-DIGIT COLT 1921A THOMPSON MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Auto Ordnance Model: 1921 Serial No. 103 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 10 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA Very Early (#103) Colt 1921 Thompson as originally manufactured without Cutts Compensator.

Ordnance; Ron Kovar Collection; John D. Eisinger Collection; and the Eric Fox Collection. In Herigstad’s book he notes that “Buttstock has brass plate on right side with “H1657”. Stock on this gun is anchor marked and indeed does have two holes for a brass plate, however no brass plate present. Please note that there will be a number of Thompson parts offered separately in this auction which includes a 1921 Thompson wood stock, and other wood furnishings and accessories. Two early 1920 patent date 20-round magazines are included with this lot, one of which has original authentic markings, and the other has forged markings on what was before an unmarked magazine (what a shame). Still, it is interesting to compare the two, and they make for an informative display. This gun retains its original 1921 internal parts, and the buttstock retains its “anchor” mark proof. Typical markings on receiver with visible serial numbers matching and correct early marked “Semi-Automatic” at selector as well as correctly early knurled switches. Crisp clear lettering and sharp edges throughout. Electronic NFA registry indicates “THOMPSON” as the manufacturer.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good on the receiver, improving to extremely fine forward of the ejection port and including the barrel, which has a perfectly aligned index mark.

Right side is the side one would want to display as appearance and finish is much better on that side, although there is some light pitting and brown patina visible when viewed from that side as well. Barrel finish is extremely fine with blemish about 2” back from the muzzle. Close friend of Jim Watson states that he and Jim verified that this is the original serial numbered barrel to this gun. Finish on the metal of the pistol grip is thinning to a gray patina with pinprick brown patina. The actuator slot finish is extremely fine.

1016 - (N) EXCEPTIONAL BLACK ENAMEL FINISH GUIDE LAMP M3 “GREASE GUN” MACHINE GUN (CURIO AND RELIC). Manufacturer: Guide Lamp Model: M3 Serial No. 187425 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: NFA Highly popular and sought after M3 “Grease Gun” as manufactured by Guide Lamp for use during WWII. This specimen is covered with vintage black paint, as was common practice by the British when they received these through the Lend-Lease program. Accessories include seven original 30-round magazines, one green (1960s vintage) canvas 3 cell pouch, and one “U.S.M.C.” and “R.M. CO. / NO – 45412 / 1944” marked 3 cell original web pouch.

R. -GL” and on action housing “G.L. C153432”. It is interesting to note that this particular specimen was field retrofitted with a U-shaped steel bar welded to the left side of the receiver to protect the unintentional release of the magazine. The early M3 guns had no such “fence” to prevent the magazine release from being depressed accidentally while the gun was being carried or set down. This cataloger has seen such field modifications before, as well as later factory produced, “fences” over the magazine catch on later specimens. The M3 cocks via the firer opening the ejection port cover, then actuating a lever on the left side of the receiver to withdraw the bolt to the rear. The M3 was a contemporary successor to the Thompson machine gun during WWII as a less costly and more rapidly produced machine gun.

Magazines are extremely fine to near excellent lustrous blue finish. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and positive.

This is an exceptionally attractive piece from the WWII era, and if you ever wanted one of these, you cannot go wrong with this one.

The MP18.I in this configuration was the first pistol caliber submachine gun to be designed and fielded to be used by ground troops in combat during World War I.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1915 Serial No. 9749 Caliber/Bore: .30-06 Springfield Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: NFA The Colt Model 1915 Vickers is among the most sought of all the water-cooled machine guns in the United States. Not only is the quality, fit, and finish utterly superior to sideplate guns, but also the fact that it is in .30-06 makes is easier to convert to other caliber cartridges with the same case rim size (8 mm, .308, etc.). The Vickers machine gun as a model is incredibly versatile, and if one has the appropriate parts, one can also convert it to other caliber cartridges such as 7.62 Russian, .303 British, and even .45-70 should the owner desire. Marked on top front of nose cap forward of water jacket “VICKERS MACHINE GUN / MODEL OF 1915 / COLT’S PT. F.A. MF. CO. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.”, followed by the registered (contract) serial number, 9749. The consecutive unit number from the factory may be found on the underside of the nose cap below the patent information, on the bottom plate, and the inside of each sideplate. These guns have two equally valid serial numbers, just as U.S. Navy Lewis guns do, and just like on Navy Lewis guns, sometimes they are registered under the contract number, and sometimes under the consecutive unit number. This is an all-original Colt Model 1915 gun, and not a reworked 11mm balloon gun. Lock is matching, marked in electro-pencil “9748B” on body, extractor, and tumbler arm. Attractive original Colt gutta-percha handgrips. Correct top-cover with beautiful rear sight. Original water fill and drain caps with chains present. Hardware for drain cork is present, without actual cork (easily replaced). Original Colt .30-06 booster present. Accessories include original Colt Vickers tripod with original identification medallion (360) on leg, with brass range cover on elevation wheel, green painted water can with brass cap, two white painted steel Vickers ammunition cans, one with retention strap not present. Two spare barrels are also included. One in .30-06 and the other in 8mm Mauser (8x57 mm). Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is exceptionally near excellent original non-reflective blue finish throughout with a duller finish on the water jacket, with a few spots of finish loss, and some loss of finish at the high edges to a gray patina.

1024 - (N) TREMENDOUS ST. VITH BATTLE CAPTURED ORIGINAL ERMA MANUFACTURED GERMAN MP-44 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Germany Model: MP-44 Serial No. 1447o Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Kurz Barrel Length: 16 - 1/4” FFL Status: NFA Consignor indicates he purchased this gun, and the magazine pouches with magazines offered in Lot 1025, from the son of the original veteran, Robert Bruce Jones, who captured the items at the Battle of the Bulge, at St. Vith, in December 1944. The son sold these to the consignor in 1983, and the consignor has provided a notarized statement to this effect. Some contemporary fabricated 7.92x33 mm cartridges are included with this lot. This gun is marked with “(eagle) / 280” on the underside of the receiver forward of the magazine housing, indicating ERMA manufacture, “cos” is also marked in several places, which indicates Mertzwerke supplied sheet metal stamped parts. Original matching factory applied numbers throughout, including on handgrip assembly, operating rod, bolt, and buttstock hardware. This weapon was manufactured in 1944, as indicated on the left side of receiver. Rolled up paper instruction booklet in buttstock trap. Three original 30-round “fxo” (C.G. Haenel) magazines are included with this lot, a signed notarized statement from the consignor, and redacted copy of the original transfer form from the previous owner to the consignor dated 1983. The MP44 series of weapons was the first assault rifle design which uses an intermediate cartridge; the 7.92x33mm cartridge was not so powerful as the 8x57mm full power rifle round but significantly more powerful than the 9mm Parabellum pistol round. This rifle was a highly effective improvement over the standard bolt action rifle because not only was it semi-automatic with a large magazine capacity, but it also could provide automatic fire fulfilling a soldier’s needs in many situations. The fact that the cartridge was smaller in length and in weight meant that the soldiers could carry more ammunition readily available. Electronic NFA Registry indicates, “SCHMEISSER (GE GERMANY)“ as the manufacturer. This can be requested correction upon paper transfer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine original finish with scattered areas of gray and brown patina. Just as what one would expect of a combat used arm. Buttstock is of the later, 5 ½ inch high profile type with very clean and attractive wood, un-sanded and original finish. Action is very smooth. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. The MP44 was an important historical development in the field of military weapons and the provenance of this piece elevates it to among the most desirable of its kind. See the magazine pouches and magazines which were captured with this machine gun being offered as a separate lot. Very seldom does an offering like this occur, which is so wonderfully and unquestionably original in condition with provenance to a noteworthy engagement.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: M16A2 Serial No. 8024815A Caliber/Bore: 5.56mm NATO Barrel Length: 14 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA This is an original Colt factory manufactured M16A2 cut-away display gun. Because it was built originally as a machine gun, and then subsequently cut-away at the factory, it is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a fully transferable machine gun. This near mint specimen, when displayed showing the left side, exhibits minimal cut-outs showing the interior of the action, magazine latch, and portions of the bolt and charging handle. The view from the top and right shows a great deal more. The Colt logo, model “M16”, selector markings, and serial number are intact. When viewed from the right side, the cut-outs from the composite materials of the stock, handguard and handgrip are more extensive, as well as cut-outs from the barrel, bolt, receiver and magazine well. Factory cut-away specimens such as this were prepared to be able to illustrate to visitors and executives the various parts and how they came together to function in the firearm. This is an impressive display piece. One 30 round Colt magazine with cut-outs is included as well as an oak and glass display case. Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original finish with only some of the slightest of handling marks. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt face extremely fine. This is a select-fire machine gun. Mechanics are crisp when operated by hand but this piece, although technically capable of firing a round of ammunition, would yield catastrophic results due to the cut-outs in the barrel, chamber, and upper assembly. However, one might contemplate replacing the upper assembly on this display piece. Because of this possibility… THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

Manufacturer: Erma Model: MP-40 Serial No. 4965N Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 9.9” FFL Status: NFA This is a mismatched MP-40 which was clearly at one time a deactivated gun. The lower assembly matches itself, but none of the other parts match in any way toeach other, but they are pre-May 1945 German parts. Nice clear Steyr “WaA 623” markings on receiver tube forward of magazine housing, with “bnz 42” marked lower assembly. Barrel resting bar is not present. Three original 32-round magazines are included. Barrel is Haenel (37) manufactured and mismatched “309m”, with assembly number “2478B” on underside near barrel nut.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good combination of original finish with quite a bit of touch-up cold blue on the receiver tube with gray patina and evidence of former deactivation at the ejection port. Several scars on the underside of the barrel near the front sight illustrate how the MP-40 was originally designed for armored vehicle troops with the “hook” at the front of the barrel intended to keep the muzzle outside of the vehicle when the gun was fired out of a steel vision slit of a vehicle. The rest of the arm exhibits a combination of original finish with gray and brown patina. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face extremely fine. Bakelite lower and grips are extremely fine with light handling marks. Mechanics are crisp. This is a full-auto only machine gun. This MP-40 provides a good illustration of a gun which has been fired out of a steel vision port of a vehicle, and with a bore in a condition seldom encountered.

Manufacturer: Germany Model: MP40 Serial No. 9526n Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 7” FFL Status: NFA Very desirable matching MP-40 machine gun as manufactured by C.G. Haenel (fxo) in 1942, as indicated by markings on the receiver, receiver socket of lower, and top rear of the lower receiver socket. Visible numbers match throughout, including barrel, bolt, front sight hood, barrel nut, lower assembly, pistol grip frame, and swing out shoulder loop. Original leather sling is included as well as one original Nazi marked 32-round magazine. This gun has an original bakelite barrel resting bar with casting number “2205-2”. Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish fine original finish with some areas of light pitting, particularly on the outside left side of the barrel, and on right side of end cap, with somewhat deeper pitting at the right rear portion of the shoulder loop, with otherwise mostly a mottle of brown and gray patina. The original sling remains supple and serviceable. This gun has many Nazi proofs on small parts, such as the trigger, and rear sight. Bore is extremely fine to near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face extremely fine. Magazine is in like condition. Mechanics are crisp. This is a fully automatic only machine gun. Some collectors go for high condition and eye appeal over matching numbers, while others seek an all-matching gun and are unphased by a condition which speaks of use under combat conditions. This gun falls into the latter category. This cataloger loves to see an all-original matching gun where the interior, particularly the bore and operating parts, have been scrupulously maintained while the external parts show the seasoning which comes from use in the field. A real historical piece for the World War II German machine gun collector, not often found with matching parts, and never deactivated.

1043 - (N) ATTRACTIVE DLO REGISTERED REMINGTON ARMS UMC CO INC BROWNING 1917 MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: DLO Model: 1917 Serial No. 156604 Caliber/Bore: .30-06 Springfield Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: NFA DLO registered Remington Model 1917 Browning water-cooled machine gun. Immediately recognizable because it has no reinforcing stirrup around the bottom rear of the receiver box. The gun has attractive vintage wooden grips, a clamp-on anti-aircraft front sight, and “beer can” style muzzle attachment. Water and drain caps and chains are original and intact. Cork hardware and chain present but no cork (easily replaced). Both the nose cap and the trunnion are an attractive bronze. Rear sight is graduated in meters. Original early dovetail receptacle for optic at left rear of receiver. Top of bolt unmarked. Very few of these early Model 1917 guns remain today, and of those that do, most are Westinghouse manufactured. In the last 20 years, this cataloger has only seen a total of three Model 1917 machine guns manufactured by Remington. This is a gun which has seen some use with a wear pattern that is pleasing rather than detracting from its attractiveness. Once it is acknowledged that a military gun could have seen combat, there is a certain allure that is attached to a gun that has the seasoning to substantiate it. That is an undeniable fact. This gun has plenty of attractive accessories with it, including an original 1918 tripod with brass medallion on center leg, and an original “1918” dated leather tool pouch strapped to the center leg. The tool pouch contains an M5 combination wrench for the 1917A1 tripod, spanner for muzzle, combination wrench, sealed package of muzzle gland packing material, and modern made headspace and timing gauge. No rear attachment pin for gun to tripod present. Other accessories include a 1918 belt loading machine in original box, six original wooden ammunition boxes, two water cans (one without cap), one green cloth ammunition belt, and one contemporary, but very professionally built transit chest with internal blocking to carry this gun in. Electronic NFA registry indicates “OEFINGER,DOUGLAS DBA DLO MFG” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is a fine original rust blue finish turning a pleasing gray and brown patina. Left wood grip panel has a sliver of wood missing from rear side, which compromises it fitting tightly without slightly rotating. This can be repaired. Bore is utterly fabulous, mirror bright. Bolt is extremely fine to near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a fully automatic only machine gun. Loading machine is extremely fine and serviceable with a cracked storage box. One of the wooden ammunition boxes has sustained some damage to the front leaving about a 6” rectangular opening. Tripod is very fine, original paint with good serviceable mechanics. The Browning water-cooled machine gun is very distinctive and especially popular on the range. Something about the vintage and quality of manufacturing that went into these early guns gives them a leg-up on all that came after. There are numerous Colt 1928 commercial parts kit guns on registered sideplates, and a significant number of semi-auto versions of the Browning water cooled machine gun, but this specimen is something much more. This one has a character and bespeaks of history, and of a time when even a gun made under military contract was fabricated and finished with pride. A fine offering for the historical and recreational belt fed machine gun enthusiast. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

1044 - (N) AUSTRIAN STEYR MP-30 (MP-34O PREDECESSOR) MACHINE GUN CONVERTED TO 9MM PARABELLUM (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: The David Co. Inc. Model: MP-34 Serial No. 2759 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: NFA Austrian Steyr MP-30 machine gun marked with “W” Austrian Eagle and “33” proof on left side of receiver below hinge of top cover, indicating manufacture in 1933. Top rear of butt plate on non-matching stock has unit markings “LAR 9. 9”. This indicates Lehr Alpen Regiment Nr. 9, 9th weapon. These weapons were manufactured for both police and military and could be ordered in a variety of calibers, including 7.65 Luger, 7.63 Mauser, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Steyr, 9mm Mauser, and .45 ACP (for export). This gun was originally manufactured in 9mm Mauser (9x25 mm), also known as 9mm Export. The original bolt, barrel, and one 32 round magazine are included with this gun should the owner wish to embark on shooting it in 9mm Mauser. However, currently this gun has been converted to fire the far more popular (and easy to acquire) 9mm Parabellum cartridge. The “short” bolt and magazine have been numbered to match this gun and a spacer inserted to the inner front of the magazine housing held in with cap screws. A small zip-lock bag of spent 9mm Parabellum cases was included with this gun from the consignor as evidence that this gun functions. The MP-30 went through an evolution and eventually became the MP-34O (for Osterreich) after the union between Germany and Austria in 1938. At this point, the guns (as well as the personnel) in Austrian military service were absorbed into the German military. Subsequent production standardized to the 9mm Parabellum cartridge by late 1940, but there were enough existing guns and ammunition in 9mm Steyr and 9mm Mauser for them to remain in service with police, or to be fielded with security forces at static bases such as airfields where consumption of large quantities of ammunition was not anticipated. This gun incorporates a loading guide milled into the magazine housing, which allows the magazine to be snapped into place through the bottom of the housing retained by a latch, and then charged through the top of the housing using stripper clips. The Austrians were very keen on the use of stripper clips to load their weapons dating back to their Steyr-Hahn pistols. The opening at the top and bottom of the magazine housing on his weapon has been welded and re-cut to accommodate the 9mm Parabellum magazine, and will no longer accommodate the 9mm Mauser magazine. Visible numbers match between receiver, bolt, 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. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “STEYR WERKE AG” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good to fine original finish with scattered areas of light pitting, with much more significant loss of finish with and brown and gray patina to the top cover and buttplate. Long bolt handle exhibits a gray brown patina, while bolt in gun is quite clean. Stock exhibits moderate dings and handling marks. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is in gun is very fine, shiny and bright while 9mm Mauser bore is dark with pitting. This is a select fire machine gun with “E” and “D” selector. These Austrian Steyr guns were extremely well-made, and were among the last of the milled steel sub-machine guns produced before the stamping process became the norm. 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 2024-09-009. 15,000 - 25,000

Accessories include one 50-round Seymour “L” drum, and one 20-round Seymour stick magazine, as well as an original No Buckl sling. The barrel index mark on the right side matches perfectly, with a “P” proof at the 12 o’clock position on top of the barrel where it meets the receiver. It is worthwhile to note that the handgrip has a coating of dark brown laquer applied, while the buttstock and horizontal forend are very clean, unsanded, and without even an oil finish; or if there was, it is gone now. Although many Thompson machine guns were produced, especially during World War II, it is the Colt Thompson that is the most iconic of all American machine guns, and the ones with the Cutts compensator and vertical foregrip such are this one have the most recognized silhouette. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “AUTO ORDNANCE” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is about fair with significant loss of finish to a gray and brown patina with moderate albeit not deep pitting. There is a noticeable small chip out of the bottom of the handgrip. The Savage manufactured lower assembly has a very neatly machined 1/8” wide slot which removed the serial number from this part. 50-round drum has areas of scattered old removed corrosion, as does the 20-round stick magazine. Sling is in fine serviceable condition. Forend and buttstock are extremely fine with some light handling marks. Handgrip has dark brown laquer chipping away, with small chip of wood out at bottom. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face fine. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. If there ever was a Colt Thompson that looked like a veteran of military service, this is it. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

1075 - (N) ITALIAN INTER-WAR BREDA MODELLO 30 LIGHT MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Breda Model: 30 Serial No. 19 Caliber/Bore: 7 mm Mauser Barrel Length: 19” FFL Status: NFA

Very scarce and low serial numbered early Breda model 30 machine gun as produced in 1935 under contract for Costa Rica. The original bipod and three spare barrels are included with this gun. One barrel is in 6.5 Italian Carcano, and the others are in 7x57mm Mauser. One barrel flash hider not present. Two of the barrels do not have the wrapping on the handles. Costa Rica specified the 7 mm Mauser chambering in the guns they ordered. This is fortunate for gun collectors today as this is a more popular caliber than either 6.5 mm or 7.35 mm Carcano. Manufacturer’s markings including date of manufacture on top of receiver. No magazine assembly or charger loaders present. Electronic NFA registry indicates “BREDA” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original blue finish on gun itself with areas of gray and brown patina. Barrel range from extremely fine finish to very little finish with gray patina on barrel in gun. Wood is fine with some bruises and dings. Very nice cartouche with serial number on right side of stock. Bores of all barrels are near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and smooth. This is a fully automatic only machine gun. Italy entered WWII with over 28,000 of these machine guns. Under combat conditions, they tended to jam as the magazine housing was skeletonized with the spring open to the air to save on the weight of the machined parts. This allowed dirt and other material in. These guns also tended to overheat when employed with sustained periods of fire. Neither of these situations are necessarily encountered in recreational machine gun shooting today. If one were to employ this gun as one would a Browning Automatic Rifle on the firing range, keeping it out of the dirt, and not allowing it to overheat, one might be surprised at how controllable it is with a solid bipod and pistol grip assembly. One of the rifle caliber model guns of Italy of World War II and certainly a well-made machine steel machine gun. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

One original 20-round, three original 12-round magazines, and an original black Federal Labs trunk case are included with this lot. Also included are two empty original brown cardboard 50-round ammunition boxes. The Reising Model 50 is a high-quality machine gun that was fielded in limited numbers to the Marine Corps during World War II.

Police departments took to the Reising, and a semi-automatic model was also produced in response to civilian private factory security demands. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original smooth gray finish on gun with lustrous blue finish on the one 20 round magazines with some spots of brown patina from storage. 12 round magazines are a gray and brown patina.

Very interesting, and one might say expedient, .45 ACP machine gun which bears a passing resemblance to the classic Thompson, even to the extent of using a repurposed Thompson M1A1 non-detachable shoulder stock. Rear sight is a peep sight. Investment casting lower assembly which still shows the sand casting marks, with a corresponding investment cast vertical foregrip with a perforated shroud. All of the Spitfire receivers were originally built, and marked, for semi-auto and these manufacturer’s markings and serial number are on the right side of receiver.

1081 - (N) INCREDIBLY RARE AND VERY DESIRABLE ORIGINAL ITALIAN F.N.A.B. 43 AS PRODUCED FOR WWII GERMAN FORCES IN NORTHERN ITALY (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). Manufacturer: FNAB Model: 1943 Serial No. 5499 Caliber/Bore: 9x19mm Parabellum Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: NFA One of the rarest of all German WWII used pistol caliber machine guns in the American NFA registry, this machine gun was designed and manufactured by Fabbrica Nazionale d’Armi di Brescia (F.N.A.B.) in 1943 at the Italian National Arms Factory in Brescia, Italy. Perhaps it is not widespread knowledge that Italian arms factories continued to produce high-quality machine guns, particularly pistol caliber weapons, for purchase and use by the German forces in 1943 and 1944. Germany had switched their production efforts to the MP-44/STG-44 by late 1943 and were sourcing Beretta 38A and 38/42 machine guns as well as about 1000 of this model, as they still needed compact 9mm machine guns. Serial numbers for this model started at 5000, probably to provide the impression to an enemy who captured one that they were more numerous than they actually were. These were a very expensive milled steel machine gun that fires from a closed bolt and utilizes a lever-delayed mechanism, and has some very interesting features, such as a magazine housing that folds forward (with a magazine in it), and a swing-out metal shoulder stock which allows this gun to be very compact. Perfect for getting rapidly in and out of vehicles. It utilizes standard Beretta 40, 30, or 20-round magazines, and one is included with this gun as well as an original leather sling. One can see elements very reminiscent of other machine pistols in the outward appearance of this gun. The shroud of the PpSh-41, and magazine housing idea of the Swiss MKPO, and the swing out shoulder loop from many others. This is a select-fire machine gun with selector in the vertical position as automatic (Raffica), and in the horizontal position as semi-auto (Colpo). Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original lustrous blue finish on metal parts with some slight loss of finish to a gray patina at the high edges and some loss of finish on the magazine. Some very light handling marks to the wood. The nature of the lever-delayed action makes it seem to us experienced machine gun shooters like there must be some grease or something in the action making it less smooth, but the action is designed this way, and the mechanics function exactly as they should, and the internals are in great shape as is the rest of this gun. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face extremely fine. This is a closed-bolt, select-fire machine gun. Please take note of this offering, as there are only very few specimens in the NFA registry, perhaps as few as 4 which are either fully transferable or pre-86 Dealer Samples. If you are an active FFL/SOT dealer and want one that you can keep after you relinquish your license and someday perhaps will to an heir, don’t miss the opportunity to acquire this gun. A fabulous and little-known gem from the latter days of World War II, and among the last of the WWII milled steel pistol caliber machine guns. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

This model is the culmination of the Bergmann MP/18 System Schmeisser and MP-28 designs as essentially copied by the British in an attempt to utilize less expensive materials and time-consuming manufacturing processes in the final days before stamped sheet metal machine guns became the order of the day. Marked “LANCHESTER MK I*” with “m/94” on top of magazine housing and with a crown proof on underside of magazine housing forward of the swivel pin. Two original 32-round Sten magazines (which interchange perfectly) are included with this lot. Electronic NFA registry indicates “ENGLISH OR B FIREARMS CO INC, NEW YORK N” as the manufacturer.

One of the finest original specimens of a scarce British machine gun this cataloger has ever encountered. Consignor states that this is an excellent shooting gun.

The “K” in MPK indicates “Kurz” or “Short” in German, and is their designation for the short-barreled model. “Kurz” is on the left side of the upper assembly currently on the gun. Serial numbers on upper and lower assemblies match. There is a small area on the upper left side of the magazine housing where some glossy black paint has been applied.

Manufacturer: Auto Ordnance Model: M1A1 Serial No. 321869 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 10 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA This is an exceptionally attractive Savage manufactured M1A1 Thompson machine gun with original No-Buckl sling as imported by “Inter American Import Export Co”, and the tiny import marks are visible on the left side of the receiver where the barrel screws in. Also included is a G.I. ammo can with one parkerized finish “U.S. – 30 CARTRIDGE – CAL 45” 30-round magazine and four additional as new in original wrapper 20-round magazines (2 magazine to each wrapper). One packet is brown paper and the other green. Right side of receiver marked “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT U.S.A.”. Left side marked as “M1A1”. Both upper and lower assemblies marked with “S”, indicating Savage manufacture, with the lower assembly serial number non-matching (568651). The M1A1 Thompson was produced in great numbers for World War II as a simplified and less costly to produce evolution of the 1928A1 Thompson. It eliminated the Blish lock system, making the receiver easier to manufacture, and eliminated the Cutts compensator. Both the M1 and the M1A1 Thompsons have the cocking handle / actuator on the right side as opposed to the top of the receiver. The M1A1 Thompson will NOT accept drum magazines, only stick magazines. This specimen has the simplified non-adjustable “L” rear sight with protective “ears”. Thompson Bullet Logo on the top of the receiver. Electronic NFA registry indicates “AUTO ORDNANCE” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine matte gray government arsenal refinish, with buttplate turned a brown and gray patina. Wood is near excellent, unsanded with handling marks. Most, if not nearly all, World War II issued M1 and M1A1 Thompsons underwent arsenal refurbishment after WWII. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face is near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. The Thompson machine guns made by Savage during the WWII era are the most durable of the Thompsons.

1085 - (N) VERY FINE GERMAN WWII MG-34 MACHINE GUN WITH KEY PARTS MATCHING (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). Manufacturer: Germany Model: MG-34 Serial No. 7182 Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser Barrel Length: 24.6” FFL Status: NFA Pre-86 Dealer Sample MG-34 machine guns tend to run well, as they tend to be matching in their critical components. This gun has every indication of being a good running gun based upon its wear pattern, and also because the following parts are matching in serial number: receiver, shroud, bolt, top cover, feed tray, and handgrip assembly. These are the key parts. Barrel (easily changed), and other components are non-matching. The shroud is “dot 1945” (Waffenwerke Brunn) and the top cover is “pem” (correct sub-contractor for this vintage), and is a smooth gray finish as seen on late-war components. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine to extremely fine with about 75% of the original blue finish remaining, thinning in places, particularly at the rear of the shroud to a gray patina almost to bare metal, with some scratches here and there. This kind of wear to bluing indicates to this cataloger that this gun has seen use, and been fastidiously cleaned. This is not neglectful storage finish loss. No grind marks or wire wheel marks. Consider that for a moment. There are some chips and handling marks to the handgrip and butt assemblies. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt is also extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and smooth. This is a select-fire machine gun. When it comes to machined steel machine guns of WWII, the MG-34 is the most attractive and definitive belt-fed gun. Any MG-34 that still retains its key operating components matching and original is one to take notice of. For those of us who have been around this hobby for awhile, particularly active FFL/SOT dealers, we know that this would be a good piece to acquire.

1086 - (N) BRITISH NITRO PROOFED GERMAN WORLD WAR II MG-34 MACHINE GUN (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). Manufacturer: Germany Model: MG34 Serial No. 4470b Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Mauser Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: NFA It is uncommon for MG-34 guns to have British nitro proofs, but this one does on both receiver and “bnz 39” marked barrel. Receiver, top cover, and shroud are matching serial numbers. The shroud is “dot 1945” (Waffenwerke Brunn). No other matching parts. Slotted top cover retaining pin. The fact that both the receiver and barrel have nitro proofs indicates this barrel was in the gun when it was tested by the Brits. Buttstock is the shorter profile Israeli type and there are “Stars of David” on the shroud, as well as a hand-stamped serial number (no Nazi manufacturing codes or proofs) on the top cover.

1087 - DESIRABLE CAMOFLAGE PAINTED GERMAN WWII MG-34 MACHINE GUN LAFETTE TRIPOD. Another fabulous offering for the World War II German machine gun collector/enthusiast. Take a close look at the original camouflage colors on this Lafette 34, and don’t overlook the beautiful and unquestionable original early commercial manufacturer’s markings, 1938 date, and eagle proofmarks on the top cover of this tripod. Also see the original eagle proofs on the alloy (elektron) parts. Very seldom are Lafette mounts like these offered for public sale not combined with a gun. Range plate is not present, but remnants of the rivets are present. This cataloger is somewhat suspicious of the paint on the elevation gear, and this brings the markings on that piece into question as well, but the attachment mounting hardware does not appear to have ever been messed with. Traverse scale is alloy and retains eagle proofs. Original lubricant cap still present! CONDITION: Tripod paint coverage is well over 90% with loss of paint to brown patina in places. The bolt box attached to this tripod has an overcoat of paint which is scaling away in chips. Brown leather pads are intact and in good serviceable condition. Mechanics are smooth and positive. What a fabulous tripod for the advanced MG-34 collector or forward-thinking investor. There are far more MG-34 guns out there than original Lafette 34 mounts, and early Lafette mounts like this one are rare within rare. JWK 2024-09-024. 6,000 - 10,000

An excellent informative video on this model gun is at https://www.forgottenweapons.com/yugoslavias-ppsh-lookalike-the-m49-57/. This Yugoslavian gun combines a lot of very good features from other guns and contains many milled steel parts as opposed to metal stampings.

NECKAR D.R.P.u.A.P.” with typical crown over “U” and Mauser marking over chamber. One Mauser marked 10 round magazine included. There are few of this model machine gun in the National Firearms Act registry, and this fast-firing pistol has a cyclic rate of 800-1100 rounds per minute when fired in fully automatic mode. It is tremendously impressive to shoot at the range. These pistols were manufactured and marketed worldwide, primarily for police and government use. Think of how intimidating this would be to an unruly crowd of Anarchists. Police were trained to turn these guns sideways when contemplating crowd control, as this harnessed the muzzle climb to advantage, spreading the projectiles to where they would be effective instead of going overhead into the air. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good original finish faded and thinned to about 60% smooth blue finish with significant thinning to bare metal at high edges with some slight scratches to the barrel.

1097 - (N) VERY DESIRABLE GERMAN WW2 MP-28 MACHINE GUN CONVERTED TO USE STEN MAGAZINES (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). Manufacturer: Schmeisser Model: MP28II Serial No. 12058 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 7.9” FFL Status: NFA Highly sought German MP-28 machine gun with two original 32-round Sten magazines. Marked on top of magazine housing “MP-28.II SYSTEM SCHMEISSER PATENT”. Receiver tube and magazine housing serial numbers match. Rear sight is attached using slotted brass screws. The magazine housing of this gun has been very professionally adapted to accept standard unaltered Sten magazines (what a great idea for a Pre-86 Dealer Sample “shooter” gun!) The MP-28 is a select-fire machine gun which was a further refinement of the original German MP-18.I machine gun. At first glance they could be mistaken for the Bergmann MP-18.I System Schmeisser model, but the select fire button above the trigger is a notable external giveaway, as the larger diameter mainspring and internal one. The MP-28 was initially fielded primarily to police formations, but later found their way into second line military SS units. It is one of the most enjoyable German machine guns to shoot at the range as it holds very steady and has a nice, slow rate of fire. Unfortunately for the collecting community, it is also one of the scarcest of all the interwar German machine gun models, and consequently very much in demand. Electronic registry indicates, “SCHMEISSER (GE GERMANY)” as the manufacturer of this gun. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent matte gray refinish upon remanufacture with two noticeable 1/2” cracks in the stock on both the right and left side where the rear of the receiver tube meets the wood, as well as just to the rear or where the detent latch is. Light handling marks and some very light bruising to the wood also, but overall this does not affect serviceability and it could be a straightforward repair by someone who works with wood. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. A very popular early German machine gun and one sure to please whomever ends up with it. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

First style gas regulator, and “F A S” selector markings on this gun. This machine gun went to Europe, and found its way to Britain, as evidenced by the British Nitro Proofs applied to the left side of the barrel (for export). This gun has a brown composite buttstock with provision for a monopod, smooth wooden fore-end, and incorporates a bipod, and carrying handle. Included with this lot is a green web sling, nine new-in-wrapper 20-round magazines, one lustrous blue finish 20-round magazine, a magazine loader, and .30 M1 steel ammo can.

1100 - (N) WELL ACCESSORIZED BREDA M37 HEAVY MACHINE GUN (PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE). Manufacturer: Breda Model: M37 Serial No. 845 Caliber/Bore: (ALL) 7.92mm Mauser Barrel Length: (ALL) 27” FFL Status: NFA The Italian Breda Model 37 is a very sought after machine gun among the collector community. They are an interesting, well-designed, and fun gun to load and shoot. In Italian service they were chambered in 8x59mm Italian, but these are almost always found in the popular 8x57mm Mauser as they came from Portugal to the U.S. as surplus, or were otherwise taken into WWII service with German forces in Italy in 8mm Mauser. The top cover of this gun matches the receiver, has the Portuguese crest, and is marked 1938 (Portuguese model designation). The receiver markings indicate the gun was manufactured in Rome in 1939. There are four original Breda proofed non-matching barrels included with this gun; all are in 8x57mm Mauser. Other accessories include the tripod, loading/unloading machine, clamp-on AA spider sight, and slide-on shoulder loop, as well as four feed strip boxes with a total of 45 feed strips. One feed strip box has a Nazi Eagle stenciled on it. The potential buyer will be interested to know that this gun removes, chambers, and fires each round, and, as part of the cycle of the action, then emplaces the empty cartridge case back into the feed strip. This design and function was intended to keep troublesome brass out of sensitive areas of vehicles or aircraft. The loading/ unloading machine is a requirement to remove the spent cases from the feed strips and then insert new live rounds. The consignor of this gun states that this gun runs well. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is an extremely fine combination of original blue and black enamel finish, thinning to a gray patina at the high edges with much less finish on the barrels. One unnumbered barrel has a matte gray refinish, and one of the other barrels has no front sight blade present. Rear spade handles are slightly misshaped on the flat pieces that attach the handgrips to the receiver. Likely, the gun was dropped at some point and the metal bent. All serviceable as is, or it can be straightened with appropriate effort. The bores of all the barrels are extremely fine, shiny, and bright; one barrel has firing residue. Bolt face is extremely fine to near excellent. Tripod and boxes are serviceable and in original green paint. Gun mechanics are crisp. The potential buyer should review the video on YouTube of another Breda that we sold in 2023 by searching “Italian Breda M37 HMG”. This is a full-auto-only (nice slow firing) machine gun. Discerning collectors have approached this cataloger over the years asking to “Find a transferable Breda Model 37 HMG for me.” There are likely not more than 5 or perhaps 6 fully transferable specimens in the NFA registry, and not more than 10-12 registered as Pre-86 dealer samples. If you are an active FFL/SOT dealer or have one as a close friend who can hold this for you, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire one of these very fine guns. Both a WWII collectible and fun recreational shooter. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

1101 - (D) RARE AND EXTREMELY POPULAR WWII LANYARD ACTUATED 81 MM SMOKE AND CHEMICAL MORTAR (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE). Manufacturer: Western Iron Model: M252 Serial No. 2447 Caliber/Bore: 81mm Barrel Length: 36” FFL Status: NFA Utilizes 12 gauge shotgun blank cartridges as propellent charges and a spring firing pin and lanyard system, with a modern U.S. cooling rings 81mm This mortar is a combination or the Extremely popular WW2 Finnish mortar cup which utilizes 12 gauge shotgun blank cartridges as propellent charges and a spring firing pin and lanyard system, with a modern U.S. cooling rings 81 mm mortar tube and bipod with round baseplate. The reinforced receiver cup utilizes a removable “chamber” which holds a blank 12 gauge shotgun shell at a 90 degree angle to the bore-line. The removable chamber is locked into place within the mortar by rotating it into a threaded locking “keyway” in the same manner that breechblocks lock up in many early centerfire cannon. The removable chamber is perforated on the sides as is the receptacle it locks into. A plate which pulls the firing pin back against spring pressure when the lanyard is rapidly pulled back releases the firing pin and the cartridge is detonated. The expanding gas pressure from the detonation within the chamber pushes the projectile out of the muzzle of the mortar. No need for any propellant charge in or on the projectile itself. This allows for the firer to fashion their own projectiles out of any variety of materials (steel, wood, hard plastic, cardboard, soup cans), as long as the diameter is appropriate. This cataloger has commonly seen repurposed soup cans and other projectiles utilized which sometimes have pyrotechnics such as firework pull string smoke canisters as the payload. The essential part of this mortar which makes it such a popular recreational item if the lanyard firing system using the 12 gauge shotgun shell blanks. One need only to clean out the chamber with a brush after every few rounds, and one does not need to worry about ignition systems and propellant within the projectiles, and hence retrieval of expensive projectiles for reloading is a non-issue. The bottom of the tube is banded in the manner of a Parrot rifle to strengthen the chamber area, but even so, these mortars were designed only for smoke and light projectiles as opposed to the heavier high explosive rounds. Serial numbers on receiver cup and firing actuator mechanism are non-matching, but still fit perfectly. It is usually the case that these pieces do not match between the receiver cup and the firing actuator. The original Finnish production run included spare actuators to go with the main assemblies. When there was a demand for more mortars, the factory produced additional cups, tubes, baseplates, and bipods, and took the spare actuator mechanisms from those already produced and on-hand. The result is mismatched serial numbers between actuators and receiver cups. Electronic NFA registry indicates “WESTERN IRON INC.” as the manufacturer, and “M252” as the model, and the receiver cup reads, “WESTERN IRON INC, LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ”. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent as repainted. Bore is extremely fine as is the firing mechanism.

Manufacturer: Koishikawa Model: Baby Nambu Serial No. 3276 Caliber/Bore: 7mm Nambu Barrel Length: 3 - 1/2” The Baby Nambu was so named as it looked like a scaled down version of the previous “Grandpa” and “Papa” Nambus. While it was never officially adopted, it was approved for private purchase, but the cost coupled with the preference for the sword as the sidearm of choice made it so that the Baby struggled to gain traction. Typical configuration in 7mm Nambu with barleycorn front sight, V-notch rear sight, right side of slide with kanji for “Nambu Shiki” (lit. Nambu Type), Tokyo Arsenal “stacked cannonballs” on top of slide ahead of ejection port. Matching full or partial serial numbers observed on slide, locking block, barrel (internally, on lug), bottom of bolt, and magazine; striker does not depress and cannot be removed, so internals were not checked. Two piece checkered walnut grips, left scale with matching number, right with no numbers. In a pigskin holster with shoulder strap, dummy cord, and pouch for ammo. CONDITION: Gun retains approximately 40-50% of the blue with heavy thinning to dove grey patina and scattered pinprick oxidation similar to guns exposed to saltwater display, mostly on slide and backstrap. Grips with some impressions and handling marks. Holster leather is supple with some crazing, and wear at hinge points. Some stitching on the rear body is missing, in the shape of a triangle. Mechanically fine, excepting aforementioned bolt stop sticking, bore with well defined rifling, somewhat softened, and very mild frosting. 3,500 - 4,500

1235 - (C) SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1940 MKI SEMI-AUTOMATIC LIGHT RIFLE. Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: M1940 Light Rifle Serial No. 867 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 9 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic

Smith & Wesson developed a light intermediate rifle chambered in 9mm Parabellum for Britain, who were in dire need of small arms. The 1940 trials proved unsuccessful, stress cracks developing in some receivers after just 1000 rounds of hotly loaded ammunition. Although a reinforced Mark II was built, Britain ended the program and destroyed the weapons. American interest also proved limited due to the nonstandard 9mm chambering. Smith & Wesson retained a small portion rifles produced but did not initially sell them on the civilian market due to their then NFA short barrel status. In 1975 the surviving 137 MK I and 80 MK II rifles were exempted from NFA regulation and sold to collectors. This very fine and scarce MK I remains in its original configuration with blued finish throughout. Standard fluted 9 - 3/4” barrel with blade front sight and adjustable square notch rear sight. Pistol grip stock is black composite with a blued serrated steel butt plate. Unlike most examples, no warning plaque appears to have been mounted on the stock. Rifle is accompanied by a Roy Jinks factory letter, original leather sling, 5 total magazines 4 of which are in their original cardboard, and a barrel wrench. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the original factory blue is displayed throughout with some loss on the charging handle and other scattered marks. Some light oxidation spots present on the magazine and base of the magazine housing. Stock rates excellent. Mirror bore. Fine mechanics. A very rare and interesting WWII experimental rifle. 6,000 - 8,000

1236 - (C) RARE SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1940 MKII SEMI-AUTOMATIC LIGHT RIFLE. Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: M1940 Serial No. 1643 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 9 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic

In 1939 Britain contracted with Smith & Wesson to develop a light rifle chambered in 9mm Parabellum as an intermediary between their handguns and full size .303 arms. Trials began in 1940 with little success as after only 1,000 rounds of the hotly loaded English ammunition, stress cracks formed in some of the receivers. A Mark II was developed with a reinforced receiver and 200 were produced to little avail, with Britain ending the program and destroying their stocks of the innovative rifles. American interest also proved limited due to the nonstandard 9mm chambering. Smith & Wesson retained a small portion rifles produced but did not initially sell them on the civilian market due to their then NFA short barrel status. In 1975 the surviving 137 MK I and 80 MK II rifles were exempted from NFA regulation and sold to collectors. This very fine and scarce MK II remains in its original configuration with blued finish throughout. Standard fluted 9 - 3/4” barrel with blade front sight and adjustable square notch rear sight. Pistol grip stock is black composite with a blued serrated steel butt plate. Unlike most examples, no warning plaque appears to have been mounted on the stock. Rifle is accompanied by a Roy Jinks factory letter, manual, original leather sling, 5 total magazines 3 of which are in their original cardboard, and a barrel wrench. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the original factory blue is displayed throughout with minor handling marks. Some light oxidation spotting also present in the barrel flutes. Stock is excellent with only a few handling marks. Mirror bore. Fine mechanics. A fantastic example of a very interesting WWII experimental rifle, one of approximately 80 in collector hands. 6,000 - 8,000

Rifle is accompanied by a Sharps research letter written by Dr. R.L. Moore on November 27, 1990. The letter lists as follows: Number 155696 was invoiced on December 23, 1875 to Sharps agent E.S. Harris of NYC, noted as a Model 1874 Long Range Target Rifle #3. The caliber is .44 and was sold complete with target sights and spirit level (with accessories) and was produced at the Hartford plant. The long range tang sight has a matching serial number on the right side of base; according to Tom Rowe, this is an extra long range with a 6” elevation and a rarity rating of 5. The full octagon barrel measures 34”. The walnut stock and forearm are factory hand checkered with a slight Schnabel to the tip. The steel butt plate is coarsely factory checkered. There is no provision for any rear barrel mounted sporting sight. Barrel breech is stamped for .44 caliber (.44-90). Barrel is also stamped “SHARPS RIFLE CO. E. HARTFORD CONN”.

Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1868 Serial No. 769 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 22 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique According to Albert Frasca’s “The .45-70 Springfield Book II” just 4 Model 1868 trapdoor carbines were produced for trial, previous production in the trapdoor series only included rifles and cadet rifles. The first 3 were made in the last quarter of 1869 with the final gun made in early 1870. This appears to be the singular example manufactured in 1870, the breech block correctly marked “1870” over an eagle head, crossed arrows, and “US”.

Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1870 Rolling Block Carbine Serial No. 33 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique Just 314 of these experimental carbines were manufactured in 1870 by Springfield under a royalty agreement with Remington to trial against the trapdoor and Ward Burton carbines, where the trapdoor ultimately won out and became the Army’s standard issue longarm. These trials carbines had a very low survival rate and are exceedingly scarce today, the consignor states that only 8 are known. This example has an unproofed 22” barrel with pinned blade front sight and 700 yard graduated rear sight. Rolling block action with correct small block spur. Action marked on the right “U.S. / SPRINGFIELD” / 1870” under a federal eagle with additional patent information on the tang. Lower tang also stamped with a “33” rack number.

It is fitted with a blued barrel measuring 21 - 3/4” with some marring at the muzzle. Breech is marked with a condemned “C” and “V / P / (eagle head)” proofs, an indication the barrel is likely a replacement.

1250 - (A) RARE U.S. SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1871 WARD BURTON CARBINE Manufacturer: Springfield Model: M1871 Caliber/Bore: 50/70 Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique Length of Pull: 14” This firearm has the distinction of being one of the first cartridge bolt actions issued by the US Government but proved so unpopular that only 316 were ever made. Despite its lack of production, it played an important part in American History as well. The famous Yellowstone Expedition of 1873 was deployed to survey a route for the Northern Pacific Railroad along the Yellowstone river through the Dakota and Montana territories. The commander of this group was Colonel David S. Stanley but his second in command was none other than George Armstrong Custer. Their survey took them through the land belonging to the Lakota Sioux whose famous leaders included Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Rain in the Face. It is ironic that Custer survived this expedition only to die at the hands of these three Sioux chiefs less than three years later. George’s brother Thomas was among the Yellowstone group of 7th Cavalry officers to be killed at the Bighorn. This bolt action single shot carbine is stamped US SPRINGFIELD 1871 on left side of frame. Top of bolt has the Ward Burton 1871 patent legend. There is no visible sign of the ESA Erskine Allen cartouche on left side of walnut stock. These carbines were chambered for the 50-70 cartridge, featured one barrel band, a folding ladder rear sight and carbine metal butt plate. None bore any serial numbers. CONDITION: Very good. All metal is a grey patina with scattered salt and pepper texture and some age freckling. Stock is very good with usual assorted dings and bruises and one hair line in loading groove of stock. Does have some added finish. All legends are sharp. Action works fine. Bore is sharp with some abrasion and light pitting. This carbine played an important part in the American expansion west. 4,000 - 6,000 1251 - (C) VERY SCARCE AS RECIEVED PAIR OF SPRINGFIELD M1 GARANDS AWARDED AS NAVY TROPHY RIFLES.

These pistols were produced in 2 distinct variations, one as standard Government Models, and the other with special Cyrillic markings on the dust cover that translate to “English Make”; those marks typically appear on numbers above 50,000, and are not present on this gun. These rare guns were shipped into Murmansk and Archangel before distribution to Russian forces; beyond that little of their history is known, however, there is one account that a 1911 was used to kill the Romanovs. Standard configuration parts include half-moon front sight, U-notch rear sight, 2 line 2 block patent and address information on left side of slide, with uncircled Rampant Colt at the rear of the slide, right side with Colt caliber information.

Straps have thinning and silvering throughout, consistent with the heavy use these pistols underwent. Grips appear to be period replacements.

This is a very good example of a very scarce pistol. 10,000 - 18,000

1257 - (C) SCARCE FIRST FULL YEAR OF PRODUCTION KONGSBERG MODEL 1914 DATED 1918 SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL. Manufacturer: Kongsberg Model: M1914 Serial No. 500 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Curio & Relic At the turn of the century, Norway was experimenting with the adoption of a new pistol for their army, and found that the Colt 1911 in .38 was an ideal weapon for them, purchasing 25 through Colt’s London Agency for troop trials in 1911. In the same year, Colonel Krag returned and informed them that the US had adopted the guns in .45 ACP, causing them to pause the adoption of the .38s while experimenting with the .45s. In 1914 they redid the tests, and on September 24th, 1914, the Norwegian Minister of Defense officially adopted the pistol for Army and Navy use. They negotiated for the rights for domestic production, and produced the first 95 pistols in December 1917. This example, serial number 500, is one of the guns made during the first full year of production with classic Norwegian features such as the distinct extended and dropped slide release, numbered parts throughout, and a 1918 date on right side of frame over an “A” inspection mark for Halvdan Alstad. Matching numbers observed on interior of slide, firing pin retaining plate, left side of slide, recoil guide rod, bushing, barrel (which also has an A inspection), left side of frame, reverse of magazine release, trigger, thumb safety, ejector, grip safety, and mainspring housing.

Combaluzier, Mexico City, Mexico, on October 5th, 1923, as part of Colt Factory Order 7837/1, in a shipment of 1 gun.

1275 - (C) OUTSTANDING AND RARE INLAND T3 SNIPER CARBINE WITH M2 INFRARED NIGHT VISION SCOPE. Manufacturer: Inland Model: T3 Serial No. 108 Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 18” FFL Status: Curio & Relic An initial research and development contract for 1700 T3 carbines specially fitted with the newly developed M1 infrared scopes was awarded in 1944. Rather than a standard rear sight, the “T3” marked receiver has an integral scope mount. These first contract Inland T3 carbines were intentionally and specifically designed as a platform for a total of what became only 715 M1 Sniperscopes ever produced. Only around 750-800 T3’s were likely produced as part of the initial contract. Most were immediately sent overseas mounted under their Sniperscopes with reportedly at least 554 used during the invasion of Okinawa. After the war nearly all of the receivers of the T3 carbines were cut in half making surviving examples extremely scarce. Uncut unwelded T3 receivers, such as this one, now being the rarest of all. This outstanding early T3 bearing serial number “0108” was manufactured in 1944 and like most first contract guns are fitted with a “3-44” dated Inland barrel. This mount sports an excellent 1945 contract early M2 Sniperscope with reproduction battery box. Although the data plate has been removed its features confirm its WWII vintage. Consignor states that this unit still functions; however, we have not tested it ourselves. The carbine is correctly fitted with a special made “IO” stock to mount the infrared lamp and pistol grip switch. “HI” 4 rivet Hand-guard. Inland trigger group with push button safety, “M” marked magazine catch, and blued flat bolt. Complete with an “IA” 15-round magazine, oiler, green woven sling, and “N-717” stamped green canvas carry case fitted for a T3 carbine with infrared scope. The carbine and scope are pictured on pages 1071-1073 of Larry Ruth’s “War Baby III”. CONDITION: Excellent for its age. Carbine retains nearly all of its parkerized finish with only light wear. Wood likewise has only minor handling marks. Very fine barrel. ME measures 1. Fine mechanics. Scope and lamp have some light finish scuff and other marks but also rate near excellent. An outstanding example of an exceedingly scarce and historic WWII small arm. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection 18,000 - 24,000

1276 - (C) RARE EXPERIMENTAL WINCHESTER T3 SNIPER CARBINE WITH M73B1 SCOPE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: T3 Serial No. 2706 Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 19 - 3/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic After viewing lnland’s production of the T3 Carbine in March 1945, Winchester began experimenting and slightly modified the design. Winchester began production in the summer, although only 1,108 were completed before war’s end. According to factory research, the serial number was applied to this very rare example on August 10, 1945, the day after the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki and just 4 days before Japanese surrender. This especially unusual example, which reportedly came from the Aberdeen Proving Ground, is fitted with an unmarked barrel with an approximately 3 - 1/4” unrifled extension added to the muzzle with no provision for a front sight. A military EI Paso Weaver M73B1 scope with duplex reticle and rubber eye piece is mounted to the receiver base. Scope is serial numbered in electro pencil “29426”. Mixed late pattern internals including round bolt and flip safety. Walnut low wood stock marked with a “W” in the sling well and crossed cannons cartouche on the right. 2-rivet hand guard retained by a type 1 flat band. Documented experimentation was done at Aberdeen with similar M73B1 scoped T3 carbines with unsatisfactory results, as the spent casings struck the scope as they ejected. This carbine is pictured on pages 1074-1076 of Larry Ruth’s “War Baby III”. CONDITION: Very good overall. Nearly all of the original parkerized finish is retained with only light wear. Stock and hand guard have some scattered dings and impressions. Very good, crisp and bright bore. Fine mechanics. Lightly clouded optics. Very few T3s survived post war rebuilds, making this experimental example extremely scarce and an excellent addition to any advanced collection.

Manufacturer: Inland Model: T3 Serial No. X44 Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This highly unusual carbine is fitted with a 24” barrel built for the WWII M1E6 tests. The receiver, although unmarked, is an extremely rare T3 with integral optic mount base that never made it to ordnance. Most all of the T3 receivers were cut in half once obsolete, making this an even rarer find. Rifle has a period EI Paso Weaver Model 298 scope. Flat bolt. Other parts consistent with other M1E6 barreled presentations, including a special checkered trigger, early serrated “W-I” magazine catch, and a checkered push button safety, combined with a mix of early and late Inland parts. Metal is finished in lustrous polished commercial blue. The “HI” low wood stock is finely figured and finished to a gloss. Gloss finished 4-rivet handguard retained by a “KI” type 2 band. Complete with C-tip sling. CONDITION: Excellent. Virtually all of the rich commercial blue is retained with only light evidence of the action being cycled. Wood is especially fine with a small area of wear from the sling buckle and other handling marks. Very fine bright and crisp bore. ME of 1. Fine mechanics. Very few T3 carbines survived post-War rebuilds, making them extremely scarce on the collector market, especially in nice condition. Presentation grade specimens are even scarcer. Larry Ruth identified this carbine as the only known example. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection 12,000 - 18,000 1278 - (C) ONLY KNOWN WWII PROTOTYPE GREBEY SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL. Manufacturer: Grebey Model: Automatic Pistol Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Born in 1900, George Grebey moved to New Haven, Connecticut, and was occupied as a tool maker, possibly with some association with Winchester; however, by the beginning of World War II, he was employed as a machinist at the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport, Rhode Island. The butt of this unusual prototype is hand-stamped “DESIGNED-MADE BY / GEORGE F. GREBEY / SEPT. 1 1943” and was likely built seeking a government contract for paratrooper or other special use. Remaining in the white and in an overall incomplete state, this gas operated handgun is chambered in .30 carbine and designed to use M1 carbine magazines. It is provided with simple iron sights: a tall blade front and a U-notch rear. The grips are 2-piece plain walnut. The pistol is housed in a period felt lined fitted wood case with various spare parts or tools. Also included are several of Grebey’s blueprints for a long arm version, a file of research, and correspondence compiled by Larry Ruth. It is pictured on pages 1629 and 1630 of Ruth’s “War Baby III”. CONDITION: Very good overall, remaining bright with some minor cleaned pinprick oxidation. Grips show evidence of handling. The bolt was absent when the prototype was acquired. Case has expected wear but displays very well. A rare opportunity for the discerning 20th-century arms collector to acquire a well-known, one-of-a-kind WWII prototype pistol.

In April of 1952 approval was given to a team under Gerald Gustafson at the Aberdeen Proving Ground to develop a small caliber, high velocity (SCHV) cartridge based on a shortened .222 Remington. Testing continued from 1952 to 1953 with favorable results for the new .22 Carbine cartridge. Although the cartridge was not adopted, the .22 Carbine tests were very influential on Eugene Stoner during his development of the 5.56mm round utilized in the M16 rifle. This historically significant test carbine is one of only five made by Aberdeen. The barrel is marked “11 Aug 53 / A.P.G.” and is threaded for a muzzle brake. In total 8 of the various experimental muzzle brakes are included with this lot. Carbine is fitted with a tall front sight blade and standard “H” marked adjustable aperture rear sight. IBM receiver with mixed rebuilt internals including round bolt and flip type safety. It feeds from modified 15-round magazines, 2 of which are included, each with some period white identifier paint added to the toe. M2 cut walnut stock and 4 rivet hand-guard retained by a bayonet lug band. A modified BAR bipod was also mounted for the tests. Importantly, this lot also includes 2 50-round boxes of the test ammunition labeled “CALIBER .22 CARBINE”, one still sealed and the other containing 9 loose rounds. Includes photocopies of the Aberdeen reports and test results. The gun and ammunition are pictured on pages 1288 and 1289 of Larry Ruth’s “War Baby III”. CONDITION: Very good as arsenal rebuilt and modified. The vast majority of the arsenal finishes are retained with some moderate wear. Stocks likewise rate very good with handling marks. Very fine and bright bore with crisp rifling. Fine mechanics. A very important piece of 20th arms development history. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection 5,000 - 10,000

George Ingram, famed inventor of the M10 submachine gun, began devising a multi-caliber weapons system based on the M1 carbine platform, building as few as 2 prototypes in the mid-70s dubbed the Police Rifle. These designs were eventually refined into the Western rifle designed for Greek military use, although few were produced. This lot includes 2 .223 barreled actions built by lngram, one built into a complete Model A Police rifle with his parts and a new made stock. Additional spare parts from lngram, as well as a partially completed stock, are included, which could possibly be used to build the second prototype. The completed carbine features a blued barrel with gold bead blade front sight and peep rear fixed to a custom lengthened receiver and bolt. The 2-piece oiled walnut stock is mounted with a single barrel band and flat steel butt plate replicates lngram’s plans exactly. It will accept AR-15 magazines, but absent a provision to lock the magazine in place. Included with the prototype components are numerous technical drawings, including some done in pencil by Ingram, and other documentation, research, and correspondence. The components and documents were acquired from lngram’s estate by Kirk Kellogg, who passed them along to Larry Ruth around 2007. The completed prototype is pictured on page 1477 of Ruth’s “War Baby III” and described on the following few pages. CONDITION: Very good. The completed carbine rates very good. Nearly all of the polished blue finish is retained on the barrel. Other components show some handling and age as assembled. Stock is excellent. Fine bore. Rifle appears to cycle correctly but should not be fired under any circumstances. Other accessories rate fair to excellent. A very interesting and well-documented prototype lot.

1284 - (C) VERY RARE PROTOTYPE STEEL STOCKED INLAND/NATIONAL POSTAL METER TOOL ROOM M1 CARBINE. Manufacturer: Inland Model: M1 Carbine Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 18” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Assembled by Larry Ruth with an assortment of scarce parts, this carbine is built on what appears to be an early National Postal Meter tool room receiver provided by Inland to NPM as they started production, as is designated by a small “P” on the receiver ring as well as its lack of a serial number. Import marked “12-42” dated Rock-Ola barrel with milled front sight and adjustable rear sight. Flat bolt. Mixed internals with a flip safety and “CC / M” magazine catch. Commercial perforated aluminum hand guard retained by a type 2 band. Most importantly this carbine features an extremely rare prototype all steel stock. A shortage of suitable walnut for gunstocks during the Korean War forced Springfield Armory to seek alternatives, including testing 4 steel carbine stocks in 1952. Likely fabricated by the Higgins Pressed Steel Company, this prototype was discovered by Larry, along with a prototype M2 stock at a Pasadena gun shop in the 1970s. Constructed of stamped 20-gauge soft stamped steel, it features an integral front band spring, oiler clip, rear sling bar, and welded butt plate. The assembled carbine is featured on page 1285 of Ruth’s “War Baby III”, the stock also pictured on 1096 and 1284. CONDITION: Good as assembled. Barrel has largely faded to patina, the receiver retaining the majority of its original finish with some expected wear. Stock displays an honest blended brown patina. Very good bright bore. ME of 4.

Manufacturer: National Postal Meter Model: M1 Carbine Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 18” FFL Status: Curio & Relic After exceeding production requirements for the M1 Carbine, National Postal Meter ceased production May 1, 1944. They had changed their name to Commercial Controls Corporation a few days prior. Although Commercial Controls never produced any carbines, they did dispose of 239 or so guns which remained on hand including this example. An included original July 1946 letter on Commercial Controls letterhead releases this carbine to Erich Liebich, a toolmaker for National Postal Meter. An included 1992 dated letter confirms this and notes that Larry Ruth obtained the carbine directly from Liebich’s son, who was also employed by Commercial Controls. The carbine was never manufacturer marked or serial numbered. It is finished in full blue. Fitted with a “4-43” dated Underwood barrel absent proof marks. “N” marked milled front sight and un-staked “I.R. CO.” adjustable rear sight. Early flat bolt, pushbutton safety, and flat magazine catch. “HN” dogleg hammer. Walnut high-wood stock is marked in the cut “TRIMBLE / TN” and has a 2-rivet hand-guard retained by a “UN” type 1 flat band. Includes an original green wartime chamber safety flag. Uncommon “S-N” ink stamped c-tip sling. The carbine is pictured on page 1195 of Larry Ruth’s “War Baby III”. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the original blue is retained throughout with only light wear. Stock has some scattered dings but rates very fine. Crisp bore. Fine mechanics.

1287 - LOT OF 3: HISTORIC GARAND LIGHT RIFLE TECHNICAL DRAWING AND PROTOTYPE PARTS FROM THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF JOHN GARAND. There is perhaps no firearms designer so synonymous with World War II than John Garand, whose M1 Garand rifle was fielded en masse by American forces and contributed greatly to Allied victory. His genius continued into the American light rifle trials in 1941, developing 2 generations of innovative prototypes for Springfield Armory. Garand’s two designs were not selected. This lot includes several important relics from Garand’s trial carbines, the first are parts from the light rifle prototype: a crinkle painted butt plate and the parkerized rear sight aperture. Lot also includes an original technical drawing of the second prototype carbine cut away from the side view to display the internals. Drawing is unsigned but does appear to be an original draft. Measures approximately 24 - 1/2” x 42”. Drawing and parts were obtained from the estate of John Garand after his passing and are documented by included 2003 dated certificates of authenticity signed by Richard Garand and Scott Duff. Photocopies of the light rifle patents as well as a photograph of John Garand are also included. CONDITION: Good. Drawing has an overall cream color with areas of discoloration and staining, as well as a few minor perforations and edgewear.

1292 - (A) HISTORIC CASED COLT NO. 3 PATERSON BELT MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER PRESENTED TO WILLIAM WATSON WITH ACCOUTREMENTS. Manufacturer: Colt Model: No. 3 Belt Serial No. 659 Caliber/Bore: .31 Percussion Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique

Numbered in the same range, only approximately 850 No. 2 and No. 3 Belt Model revolvers are believed to have been manufactured by Samuel Colt’s Patent Arms Manufacturing Co. of Paterson, New Jersey, circa 1837 to 1840. This particularly extraordinary specimen of a No. 3 is accompanied by an extremely scarce, original, presentation case and accoutrements. The blued 5 - 1/2” octagon barrel is roll stamped on the top flat “Patent Arms M’g Co Paterson N-J Colt’s Pt” between a pair of small bowtie motifs. .31 caliber bore with 11 groove rifling. Front sight is a small German silver blade. Hammer notch rear sight. The 5-shot rounded shoulder cylinder displays a crisp and largely legible rolled cylinder scene featuring the “COLT” horse head trademark, as well as a pair of centaurs armed with a Colt rifle and revolvers engaged in combat with horsemen and foot soldiers. Polished blue frame with solid recoil shield and folding trigger. The 1-piece smooth varnished walnut grips are flared at the base and numbered to the gun. Revolver is housed in a correct beveled lid varnished mahogany presentation case lined in brown crushed velvet and complete with original accountments. A matching spare cylinder is secured by a dowel in the upper right corner. To the left of the revolver, retained by iron mounts, are an iron single cavity round ball mold with 3 walnut handles, Paterson combination tool (screwdriver, ball starter, nipple wrench, and pick), and threaded wiping rod with turned walnut handle. The first pattern bass capper is embossed around the lid edge “COLT’S PATENT / PATENT ARMS M(?)NG CO PATERSON. N.J.” between rings with a central rampant Colt motif and a pair of crossed Paterson revolvers. Complete with a correct 5 - 1/2” long No. 3 cylinder charger, with gold plated knurled bands at each end and a central band marked in script “Patent Arms M’g. Co. Paterson N.J. - Colt’s Pt.”. Importantly, this cased set features an inlaid presentation plaque on the lid, inscribed in fine script “W. Watson / from A. P.”. Inscription is well executed and appears original. It compares favorably with another known cased presentation, No. 3 serial number 24, which appears to be done in the same hand. “W. Watson” is widely attributed to William Watson, a New York City attorney who is documented as representing Samuel Colt in disputes with Patent Arms Mfg. Co. treasurer and majority shareholder John Ehlers. By 1841, the fledgling company was financially insecure and Samuel Colt likewise, requesting personal funds from Ehlers to continue trying to secure a government contract in Washington DC. Although the New Jersey contract for 100 carbines was eventually secured, the funds needed for Colt’s rent were not. William Watson was authorized to collect this sum of $100, with Samuel Colt advising that he bring a witness along as Ehlers “may turn out a rogue”. Further research suggests the “A.P.” who presented this revolver to Watson is Andrew Parsons, a minority shareholder in the P. A. Mfg. Co., owning 10 shares of the company as is recorded on an August 1837 list. Parsons was an influential New Jersey politician who represented Passaic County, home of Colt’s Paterson factory, in the Upper House of the New Jersey Legislature. He served back to back terms as Vice President of the Council of the New Jersey Legislature in 1837 and 1838, next in line to fill a vacancy in the Governor’s mansion. Although Parsons and Watson are both associated with Colt, the exact reason for the presentation of this revolver is unknown. In an included 25-page letter by R.L. Wilson detailing this gun, it is speculated Parsons may have presented the gun to Watson on behalf of Colt, perhaps as payment or to secure loyalty. Presentation revolvers remained an important part of Colt’s marketing into the Hartford years and, at the time, Ehler’s was cracking down on trials and loan guns due to the company’s financial woes. Or perhaps, Parson, being a stockholder, may have presented the gun in appreciation of Watson’s assistance to Colt in moving the company in a direction he found favorable. PROVENANCE: From the personal and advanced collection of Dr. Jim Watson of Scottsdale, Arizona. CONDITION: Very fine overall. Significant portions of original blue are retained on the barrel, largely drifting to pleasing brown patina. Both cylinders show evidence of use with some fulminate pitting on the rear faces and nipples. Cylinder scenes remain strong and largely legible. Frame and grip straps display approximately 60% bright blue. Some light pitting present on the recoil shield, with heavier pitting present on the hammer

channel and sides of the hammer covered by the recoil shield when uncocked. Grip is fine, the left side retaining approximately 90% original finish. Right side retains approximately 50% varnish, having sat in contact with the case liner for 180 years. Bore is dark with strong, well-defined rifling. Mechanics are crisp. Matching numbers present on the barrel lug, breech face of both cylinders, left side of the trigger, wedge, and, as seldom seen, on the base of the left grip. A “6”, stamped larger than the serial number, is also on both cylinders and the cylinder turning ring.

Shuman was born in 1827 and enlisted in the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry in September of 1861, and served there until his discharge in July of 1865. Over the course of his term as a volunteer in Companies C and H of that regiment, he saw action at engagements such as Thompson’s Station, Chickamagua, Lookout Mountain, and the March to the Sea campaign under General Sherman. This Confederate Spiller and Burr revolver was passed down through the consignor’s family, captured by Shuman during his service with the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry during the Civil War. Revolver is in classic configuration with brass frame, 7” octagon barrel with screw in cone front sight, hammer notch rear sight, and 2 piece wood grips. Matching serial numbers observed on rammer, barrel toward the rear, cylinder, frame underneath trigger guard, underside of trigger guard, and twice on the butt. Center pin/rammer link is a replacement. Accompanying provenance and accessories include a notarized letter dated July 17, 2024 stating that this revolver descended through the family, CDV of George Shuman after the war, “Yankee Cavalrymen” by John W. Rowell which tells the story of the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry during the Civil War, copies of period photographs of Shuman, copies of a letter from Shuman to his wife Fannie in November of 1864 catching her up on events corroborated by pages 196-200 of the previously mentioned book, copies of Muster Rolls, framed original commissions to 2nd Lieutenant and First Sergeant, a high condition pair of binoculars from the period in a case with handwritten note “G.

1294 - (A) VERY RARE CASED CONSECUTIVE PAIR OF MARTIAL COLT 1860 ARMY REVOLVERS WITH MATCHING CANTEEN STOCK. Manufacturer: (Both) Colt Model: (BOTH) 1860 Army Serial No. (A) 22502 (B) 22503 Caliber/Bore: (BOTH) .44 Barrel Length: (BOTH) 8” FFL Status: Antique According to the factory letter, serial number 22503 was part of a 1000 gun shipment to the War Department and shipped to Captain Crispin at #55 White Street in NYC on March 1, 1862. During the Civil War Colonel Crispin served for some time on the staff of Major-General George B. McClellan, and was also in charge of the New York Ordnance. He was promoted to captain of ordnance, 3 August 1861, and in that grade served through the civil war. We must assume that number 22502 was part of that 1000 gun shipment. As head of ordnance, he had access to any guns he wanted. Both are early four screw models, cut for stock with brass trigger guards, iron strap, one piece walnut grips, fluted cylinder with roll engraved Naval battle scene. Both have the one line barrel legend with COLT’S PATENT on left side of frame. Number 22502 has all matching numbers including the wedge. The left grip panel has a visible but legible cartouche. You will find the martial inspector marks as follows; C-on left barrel, L-on right barrel, B-L on cylinder, T-top back strap. CONDITION: No original finish, now a smooth brown patina. All legends are sound. The Naval scene is partially visible. Safety pins are flat. Brass has turned almost black. Grips show some dings but are a nice fit with minor front toe chip on both sides. Action indexes correctly with strong half cock. Very nice homogenous gun. Gun number 22503 has all matching numbers to include the post. This gun has .44 CAL on left side rear trigger guard. The only inspector stamps are the letter “O near serial number on barrel, frame and trigger guard. No visible cartouche on left grip. It is in nearly identical condition with strong legends but the spring is missing from wedge and the Naval scene is barely visible. The grips have less empty space at toes. It too has a fine action with strong half cock. Bores on both guns are strong but have residue. The bottom of the canteen stock has both numbers in the same font. All the hardware is brass. There is an iron saddle ring at base. The vise is iron. The canteen stock is walnut with iron cap and small chain. The top of the stock has a crack running the length as well as one on the base. The brass butt plate also has the same two number stamps and similar fonts. There is a visible cartouche on left side but not legible. Aside from crack, the stock has very few impressions. The brass has turned as dark as that found on revolvers. The two cavity .44 bullet mold is stamped Colt’s Patent. An original brass powder flask with staff of arms is stamped COLT’S PATENT. The period wood display case is lined in faded and stained blue felt and comes with a 6 round envelop of 44-100 cartridges and a vintage Eley Bros Colt’s Pistol cap partially full tin. We must assume that these guns came together in the same shipment but only one was designated to Crispin. Did he acquire the other and then cased them? The guns themselves have quite a few differences based on who inspected and stamped them. Comes with factory letter on gun number 22503 only. 20,000 - 30,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: Sheriff Serial No. 145305 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 3 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The factory letter states that this revolver was shipped on October 30th, 1893, as a .45 Colt with 3 - 1/2” barrel, blue finish, and unlisted stocks, sent to Dunlay & Geisler, Houston, Texas, care of J.

They were made without any ejector rod. The one piece pearl grips feature a carved steer head on the right side and were probably applied by the retailer, as this was a popular motif in Texas at that time. Gun has matching numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, and backstrap. Top of barrel has short two line Colt address. Left side of barrel is stamped .45 Colt. Left side of frame has two line patent dates with pony in circle. CONDITION: Fine. The cylinder retains the majority of bright blue in the flutes.

The pearl grips have toned with some minor scaling. The action is robust with all four clicks. Rifling is strong with some residue. Sheriff models are usually found in fairly rough condition and this is far better than average, clean and crisp. 15,000 - 25,000

1313 - (A) LOT OF 2: WHALING CAPTAIN ALBERT SHERMAN’S ENGRAVED SMITH & WESSON .44 DOUBLE ACTION AND .38 SAFETY REVOLVERS. Manufacturer: (BOTH) Smith & Wesson Model: (A) .44 DA (B) .38 Safety Serial No. (A) 24521 (B) 63615 Caliber/Bore: (B) .44 S&W Russian (B) .38 S&W Barrel Length: (A) 6” FFL Status: Antique This pair of engraved Smith & Wesson revolvers were the personal property of well known whaling captain Albert C. Sherman. He was a whaler originally based out of New Bedford Mass. He was born in Westport Mass. in 1849, first employed on whalers around 1870 and listed as “MASTER” IN 1884. We have a list of at least eight whaling ships that he captained beginning in the 1870’s. His first two ships were the “HALE” and the “GEORGE & MARY” whose log book rests at the Westport Maritime Museum in Mass. Then there was the “HUNTER” 1882-83 with log book in NEW BEDFORD, the “JOHN CARVER” 1884-1885, the “BELUGA”- 1892, the “ORCA” steamer- 1893 with log book at Mystic museum and the “BELUGA” steamer -1896. He captained the “ORCA” in 1897 when it was trapped in ice and destroyed, of which much is written. He piloted the “THRASHER” a steamer that set sail from San Francisco from 1897-1899 and retired back to New Bedford around 1900. His exploits took him around the world through the Bering straights, both poles and the Arctic where he spent nearly half of his career. His second wife Carolyn was with him and died in the Arctic. His son “Bertie Jr” was with him on the BELUGA” Bertie was the father of Elizabeth Ladner who wrote a several page handwritten letter on her husbands stationary where she details her grandfathers exploits and ownership of these two Smith & Wesson revolvers and how she inherited them upon her fathers death. There are copies of two photographs, one of the “BELUGA” whaler where a birthday party was held at Herschel Island for 5 year old Bertie(Albert moved his family to San Francisco in 1894-95) along with a picture of Bertie and Albert around the same time. There is a Smith & Wesson letter dated May 3, 2002 to Mr. Ladner stating the S&W .44 Double Action First Model serial 24521 was sold October 1891 and the .38 Safety Hammerless 3rd model serial 63615 sold in November the same year. This is just an information letter and does not detail the guns as to finish, barrels, etc. This lot also includes a sea bag made from sail cloth that is stenciled “MRS A.C.SHERMAN NEW BEDFORD MASS” . She was Alfred’s third wife. We surmise that her address is printed in case of Albert’s death. As to the revolvers, both exhibit nearly full coverage bank note scroll engraving that appears to be of the same style and shop as found on page 60 of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The .44 sports a 6” barrel, nickel plated, case color hammer & trigger, blue trigger guard and sporting pearl grips. (also comes with a period flap holster stamped .44, S&W & 6” on back in excellent condition but does have some loose stitching 4” up from tip) The .38 appears to be nearly identical in engraving pattern and sporting pearl grips with a gold wash cylinder as well. CONDITION: Both function correctly with strong bores that show some abrasion. Both have wonderful grips, at least 90% nickel finish, crisp engraving , strong case colors and blue with 90% gold wash intact on small revolver. A once in a life time collection that will appeal to both admirers of high grade and condition engraved Smith & Wesson’s as well as Whaling historians & collectors. Much more information can be found at the museums that are listed. 15,000 - 20,000 1314 - (A) VERY FINE RAC INSPECTED COLT CAVALRY MODEL SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH KOPEC GOLD SEAL LETTER.

1315 - (A) AINSWORTH INSPECTED LOT SIX CUSTER RANGE COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 5839 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique According to a letter written in 2016 from John Kopec, he states that he had examined this revolver previously, in August of 1991. He relates that this revolver originated from within Lot Six (5505-6516). This was one of the prime lots that revolvers were issued to the U.S. 7th Cavalry as it was within this range that revolvers were issued to Companies D and I. In 1874, 921 Colts were shipped to the 7th Cavalry from the Rock Island Arsenal, of those, approximately 300 were from Lot Six. At the Battle of Little Bighorn, D Company was in Captain Benteen’s command and most of I Company was part of Custer’s group. Serial numbers 5505, 5637, 5740, 5743, 5773, 5998, 6048, 6067, and 6269, are all from Lot Six and are documented or attributed to the 7th Cavalry per Kopec and Fenn. He could not pinpoint this serial number but does write that this revolver was turned in by Whirling-White Head on September 5th , 1876, three months after Custer’s famous last battle. This revolver was manufactured in 1874 and was sub-inspected by O. W. Ainsworth. It bears his “A” inspection stamp on the top of the back strap, under the barrel, and on the trigger guard. This gun has matching numbers on the frame, barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and back strap. There is also a P stamped under barrel and on the cylinder as well. The barrel has the early one line Colt address. The frame is stamped with the early two line patent dates along with U.S. This gun was issued with standard blue and case color finish with one piece walnut grips that show no remaining cartouche. John also notes the this gun used the leftover 1860 Army mainspring, that the grips have a matching serial number in the channel, and that all the markings are original and correct. He draws attention to the fact that the ejector housing and rod were missing when he first examined the gun, but it now wears a proper donut style assembly (the patina matches perfectly). Also, the screw that retains the cylinder pin is a replacement. Everything else on the gun is just as it left the factory prior to the great battle. CONDITION. Very good. The entire gun is now a smooth patina with no signs of any original finish. The grips show wear and usual dents. All of the legends are sharp. The action is tight and has the four clicks. The rifling is pronounced but does have some abrasions. 12,000 - 18,000

1352 - REPLICA WINCHESTER DOUBLE W CARTRIDGE BOARD.

Board is affixed with approximately 200 rounds of ammunition, 9 cap tins, and 15 slugs. Most cartridges appear live. Headstamps are mixed, but many are Winchester production. Field measures approximately 32 - 3/4” by 48 - 3/4”. As framed in oak, the board measures approximately 36” by 52”. CONDITION: Good. Field has good, rich color with some soiling and fading. Cartridges vary in condition but are mostly very good, although would benefit from some light cleaning and tightening. Frame is good with some corner separation. An outstanding display piece.

Manufacturer: Spencer Model: Army Rifle Serial No. 1555 Caliber/Bore: 56-50 Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique Colonel John Copland, an early and outspoken supporter of repeating rifles, ordered 1,200 Spencer rifles for his 5th Michigan Cavalry and was the first to receive the potent repeating arms. The first 500 rifles were delivered in December 1862 in the 1000 to 1550 serial number range, followed by an additional 500 in January 1863 in the 1551 to 2050 range. This example 1555 falls squarely between these first army shipments. Copeland armed not only the 5th Cavalry but also some of the 6th Cavalry with approximately 300 of the Spencer rifles, having suffered some losses in the 5th. Placed under George Custer’s Command, the Michigan Brigade were the only troops armed with Spencers at Gettysburg and used them effectively halting Jeb Stuart’s advance on July 3. By late 1864 it is believed nearly all of the Spencer rifles were lost or replaced with much handier carbines. As a result, these early rifles have a very low survival rate. This example appears to have been re-arsenalized after the war, the barrel relined to .50 with 3-groove rifling. Standard German silver blade bayonet lug front sight and 800 yard graduated rear ladder sight. Case hardened receiver without cut-off or the standard manufacturer markings. Various sub-inspector stamps present on internal components and the lever. Stocked in walnut with a full length forend retained by 3 bands. CONDITION: Good. Barrel displays a brown/gray patina with some cleaned oxidation spots. Action has a characteristic silvery case hardening patina with a few faint flashes of color and patterning, some areas of cleaned oxidation present. Wood appears lightly cleaned with only minor bumps and bruises. The rear barrel band spring is a replacement finished in brilliant nitre blue. Bore is very strong, some oxidation present near the muzzle. Fine mechanics. A very scarce early Spencer with tantalizing Gettysburg attribution.

It seems as if every early 10 O’clock screw Model 1894 is found with a 26” octagon barrel in caliber 38-55.

Again, this is a standard rifle with note to the extra screw featuring a full octagon barrel, full tube magazine, solid frame, blue finish, walnut stock with rifle butt plate and matching forearm. The barrel on this example bears the post 1901 PW proof while the frame does not indicating it probably went back to the factory for repair. The tang is a type one with August 21, 1894 patent date. The barrel has the type one earliest legend so it was not replaced when it was sent back. The rear sight is a scarce full buckhorn with typical German silver tip front. CONDITION: Fine.

Manufacturer: Henry Model: 1860 Serial No. 3001 Caliber/Bore: .44 Henry Flat Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Antique Manufactured in 1863 at the height of the Civil War. Standard blued 24” barrel stamped on the top flat with the larger style 2-line address as was applied beginning around serial number 3000. Tapered German silver front sight blade and 900-yard graduated rear ladder sight set in the receiver dovetail. Full length magazine tube with large brass follower and forward sling bar. The iconic brass frame is silver plated and features beautiful Hoggson style factory engraving. The forward section on each side of the receiver is embellished with the usual spray of grape leaves with a central bunch of grapes and tendrils with a rope border. The left side of the receiver features a running buck and hound flanked by open foliate scroll over punch dot backgrounds and rope borders. The right side also has further foliate scrolls and rope borders, as well as the inscription “J.T.H. / to T.T.”, which R.L. Wilson believed to be factory. It is likely this is a Civil War presentation, although neither individual is known. Gloss finished select grade figured walnut perch belly stock with obtuse comb angle. Stock is mounted with a rear sling swivel and rounded heel silver plated brass buttplate with a flourish of foliate scroll over punch dot engraving. Matching numbers observed on the barrel breech, inside of lower tang, stock channel, underside of the butt plate, and on both buttplate screws. The numbers on the tang and stock appear to have been initially stamped in error at the factory and corrected, silver plating present in the tang number stamps. This wonderful rifle is pictured on page 27 of R.L. Wilson’s “Winchester Engraving”, then part of the Col. T. Daghistani Collection. Born in 1949, Timoor Daghistani served as Jordanian ambassador to Spain from 1994 to 1999, becoming ambassador to the United Kingdom the same year, and at one point was married to Princess Basma bint Talal, daughter of King Talal of Jordan. CONDITION: Fine. Barrel finish has faded to a very attractive honest plum brown patina. Receiver retains approximately 40% or greater rich, toned silver plating, especially in the protected areas, the balance exhibiting a very attractive golden mellow mustard patina. Butt plate likewise displays a mellow patina with traces of original silver plating along the edges. Stock fits very well and rates very good with some scattered dings and abrasions as well as a split on the left side running from the butt plate. Very good, strong and bright bore with some mild black powder abrasion. Fine mechanics. An outstanding, highly attractive published factory engraved Henry for the discerning collector. 30,000 - 40,000

1410 - HENRY CLEANING ROD. 4-piece cleaning rod constructed of hickory with pinned steel ferrules as would be appropriate for early Henry rifles. Handle section measures 7”, the center 2 sections 6 - 3/4”, and the jag end approximately 6 - 1/4”. Approximately 26” assembled as would be appropriate for standard 24” Henry barrels. CONDITION: Very good overall. Some minor grain separation and scattered nicks present, the tip of the handle with wear. Ferrules have some mild patina with a few cleaned oxidation spots. A nice example. 4,000 - 6,000

Both sides are period overpainted in white lettering “WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS AND AMMUNITION” and “SINCE 1866”. Complete with an associated and likely original oxblood red painted mounting bracket and chains. Although not described, an example is pictured on page 58 of Tom Webster’s “Winchester Rarities”. Several signs are known overpainted like this example. CONDITION: Very good as period painted with expected fading and patina from outdoor display. Colors remain strong and attractive, the lettering clear. The mounting holes are elongated, indicating this sign hung on the bracket for a long time. For transport, the chains likely cut but likely could be crimped to rehang the sign. A fantastic piece of Winchester advertisement that would be a fine addition to any gun room or office. 4,000 - 6,000

The rear ladder sight has the 900 (yards) stamp at top. (Type C) The stock sling swivel in on upper left side as well as left side of barrel. This gun has the slight bevel frame, the small trigger pin, small type 1 barrel address, small follower cut and the rounded heel butt plate with trap. The barrel is octagon and blued.

It is definitely high quality but we cannot find this pattern on documented factory engraved samples. The barrel and tube have also been re-blued. We do not know the age of the engraving or plating. The stock has some added finish. CONDITION: The barrel retains the majority of the reapplied blue finish with all legible barrel legends. The frame plating has some areas with brass showing through but still retains at least 85% of this finish as does the butt plate. The engraving is still crisp. The stock has numerous scattered mars and impressions. The bore is clean and defined but does have some abrasions. The barrel is a bit loose in frame. A strikingly handsome rifle. 24,000 - 35,000

1416 - (A) FANTASTIC ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1866 Serial No. 38018 Caliber/Bore: .44 Henry Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Antique MANUFACTURED IN 1870. This gun falls in the no record range. The brass frame is masterfully engraved with nearly full coverage along with engraving on the nose cap and the toe of butt plate. The forward vignette is an eleven point circular design with a bank note scroll border and is the same on both sides. The center vignette panels are in same location on both sides and are similar in design yet different pattern. The majority of receiver exhibits the bank note American scroll with textured back ground. We could not find an exact match in the engraving samples but we feel that it is from the shop of John Ulrich. All the traits are there. The lower inside tang is stamped J.F. and it is our opinion that this was an engraver in the Ulrich shop. The 8016 partial serial number is stamped inside the top stock channel as well as on the butt plate. The frame screws are blue. The sights consist of a folding Beech front, the 900 yard folding ladder rear with a rare early Vernier tang sight pictured in the Madis book but does not even have a model number. The inside lower tang has the XX stamp with an S indicating the special grain walnut stock that has the deluxe piano finish. The butt trap contains the four piece cleaning rod. Other features include the full octagon barrel, full tube magazine and swivels. The Winchester two line barrel legend does not have the Henry notation. The hammer and lever are case color with some flashes of color. CONDITION: Excellent. All of the brass is wonderfully toned with crisp engraving. The stocks are proud to metal and exhibit only minor impressions. The barrel and tube are a butter smooth homogenous blue blending to an even patina with some age freckles. Barrel legends are crisp. Even the bolt retains generous blue finish. The action is smooth and the bore is strong and bright. The loading gate retains majority of blue. Even the screws retain a generous bright blue. Simply stunning example. 18,000 - 24,000

You will find matching serial numbers inside the walnut stock channel as well as the butt plate. The factory engraving is in the distinctive late Henry period Samuel Hodgson school. Both sides have the forward panel single floral leaf design with berries as found on page 31 in the Winchester engraving book on Model 1866, serial number 19163 The sides of receiver have flora and leaf pattern. There is also engraving on top of frame, upper tang, nose cap and the butt plate heel. Barrel is octagon with full tube magazine. Walnut stock has brass trap door rifle butt plate.

The forearm is proud to metal with some light impressions without the added finish. The brass butt plate trap door was replaced. There is a small repair on lower tang but tang is not cracked, may have filled an extra hole. There is also an almost invisible repair on tube at cap. The barrel and tube are a smooth homogenous brown patina with some blending blue and light wiped on finish. The barrel legends are crisp. The rear barrel sight slot has a homemade filler. The upper tang rear sight hole is empty. The action is fine. The bore is strongly defined with some light abrasion. The loading gate shows some wiped on blue as does the rear sight.

A signed letter from McLeod on Old West Hardware letterhead listing the carbine by serial number details its story as part of Six Angels Production inventory. From 1988 to 1991, it was carried by Richard Comar, playing the lead Deputy Marshall Jack Craddock in “Bordertown”. In 1992, the carbine and included scabbard were then provided for use in Clint Eastwood’s award winning “Unforgiven”. Additionally between 1991 and 2000 it was used in “Call of the Wild”, “Crossfire”, “Dead Man’s Gun”, “Jennifer Eight”, “Koontai Brown”, “Legends of the Fall”, “Lonesome Dove: The Series”, “Shanghai Noon”, “The Virginian”, and “We’re No Angels.” The early production carbine is fitted with a standard 20” barrel with barrel band blade front sight and small ladder rear.

Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1866 Serial No. 43825B Caliber/Bore: .44 CF Barrel Length: 18” FFL Status: Antique An entire article was written on this short barreled 3rd model 1866 Winchester SRC in the Spring 2017 edition of the “WINCHESTER COLLECTOR” by Clark Linss, pages 26-28. He goes into detail on the nuances of this carbine. First, the barrel measures 18”. The front sight barrel band sets back 1/4”. The gun has been converted to 44 CF. A military type sling swivel has been added to rear base of stock. A U stamped barrel band with swivel replaced the original front band. There is a washer that has replaced the lever screw on right side of frame. The serial number inside the stock channel is matching but the rifle butt plate is number 8720. The barrel retains a light but legible Winchester barrel address. Gun has the correct two leaf folding rear barrel sight. Original brass frame gun with brass rifle plate. The barrel shows no crown. The writer suggests that there were some short carbines offered and that crowning did not begin until after serial number 17000. Stocks are walnut. CONDITION: Brass has been cleaned at one time. The cleaning rod measures 20 3/4” The barrel and tube are brown patina. The loading gate is a blue brown mix. Rear stock is shy to metal with a repaired crack on left side. The lever has been polished near bend. The action works fine and the rifling is pronounced with minor abrasions. No letter is available on this serial number. Forearm matches stock tone with scattered dents and impressions. Without a letter, there is no real way to be sure as to whether this is a very rare short carbine or one that has been altered 8,000 - 12,000 202

1866 marked an important turning point in the Winchester story, the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. forming from the New Haven Arms Co. in May. Adopting the Kings Improvement, production of the famed Henry ceased somewhere after serial number 14,000. Madis notes production of the improved Model 1866 began around serial number 12476 with a total of 2337 produced that year, including this example with early 14765 serial number. Classic early configuration with carbine length round barrel with band front sight and fixed buckhorn rear. No address is visible, as many were stuck lightly at the factory. Full length magazine tube with early thread in plug, retained by a pair of barrel bands. Iconic first model flatside brass receiver with Henry drop along the hammer, 2 tang screws, and no forward bevel. Loading gate is of the earliest, flat style retained by 2 screws. Lever appears to be a replacement and does not catch on the latch. Later style slotted bolt. Standard walnut carbine forend. Straight grip walnut stock stamped in the stock channel with the full matching serial number. Replacement brass Henry style crescent butt plate numbered internally “522”. Stock screws also largely appear to be replacements. CONDITION: Good. Barrel and magazine tube display a mottled silvery patina, having been cleaned long ago, with areas of pitting. Frame likewise appears cleaned with scattered marks, now taking on a mellowing patina. Forend has some scattered impressions, retaining a nice age darkened appearance. Butt stock has been lightly sanded and reoiled with impressions throughout. Dark, abraded bore with visible rifling. Good mechanics. Only around 3,500 of these first model 1866 were produced with a survival rate estimated by Madis at only around 25% making them scarce in any condition and an important addition to any Winchester collection. 4,000 - 8,000

1423 - (A) VERY RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 15” TRAPPER CARBINE WITH BUTTON MAGAZINE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1873 Serial No. 96952A Caliber/Bore: .38-40 Barrel Length: 15” FFL Status: Antique The factory research lists the date shipped as September 23, 1882 with a 15” barrel and half magazine. There is no note as to finish or caliber. This trapper was finished in nickel plate and the caliber is .38-40.

1424 - (A) EXTREMELY RARE FACTORY ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 15” TRAPPER CARBINE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1873 Serial No. 454651B Caliber/Bore: .44-40 Barrel Length: 15” FFL Status: Antique According to the factory letter, this carbine was shipped in December of 1893 in .44 caliber with a 15” barrel, fancy stock, Gilt & Nickel (finish) and $2.50 engraving. Standard features include the 1873 dated ladder rear sight, standard post front sight, saddle ring and stud. The left side of the barrel has a British proof mark and EU/GB and British proof mark are stamped at base of frame. The magazine tube cap and screw are missing. The Winchester factory barrel legends are stamped forward of the rear barrel band. This is because this is not the original barrel. When disassembled, you will find a VP verified proof mark which did not exist at that time. Also, barrel was cut at base through the threads and filled with epoxy. The tube appears to be replaced as well. The gun is original from the frame back. The receiver is engraved on both sides, the left side having the Stag panel. This exact panel engraving can be seen on page 179, Madis book, rifle #286684. There is engraving on the butt plate and the dust cover as well. It also appears that the frame was re-silvered at one time. This carbine comes with the BATF designation removing this gun from the NFA listing. CONDITION. There are no longer any traces of the gold, with some re-silver remaining finish but balance of the metal is now a soft grey homogenous patina. The engraving is soft and the stag panel is only partially visible with scattered pitting on the frame. The deluxe grain stock has been refinished, is shy to metal, with a wood plug wrist crack repair and small splice at lower tang. The forearm has also been refinished / replaced and shortened just forward of the rear band. The top of the receiver has a small metal plugged repair. The two line Winchester barrel legend is still quite legible. The dust cover is engraved and intact The action is in working order. The bore on the replaced barrel is still quite sharp and defined but does have abrasions. A factory engraved Model 1873 trapper may be the rarest Winchester variation known. Search results yielded no examples. Worthy of some professional attention. 4,000 - 6,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1877 DA Serial No. 3855 Caliber/Bore: .38 Colt Barrel Length: 3 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The factory letter states that serial number 3855 was shipped on November 17, 1882 as a .38/c, 2 1/2” (This barrel measures 3 1/2”, factory error), Nickel, grips not listed. This was part of a 10 gun shipment to N. Curry and Brothers, San Francisco California. Guns in this serial range no longer have serial numbers factory stamped on either the barrel nor the cylinder so we must assume, given the high condition of this gun, that the factory listed barrel length was an office error. It is a sheriffs model so there is no ejector. Grips are not listed on ledger which normally means standard two piece gutta perch grips used during this era but this gun wears a set of the rare one piece Colt gutta perch grips with no screw. Standard finish is nickel but this gun has the fire blue screws, trigger, ejector rod head and the top/back of the hammer with polished sides. The left side of the barrel has the brilliant acid etched “COLT D.A. 38”. The top of barrel has the two line Colt address. Left side of frame has the 3-line patent legend. CONDITION. Excellent.

The addresses on the top of the barrels are particularly striking, with nicely executed ribbonwork around the gold inlaid information.

1455 - (C) WELL DOCUMENTED PAIR OF ED MCGIVERN’S SMITH & WESSON K-22 MASTERPIECE DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVERS WITH RELATED EPHEMERA. Manufacturer: (BOTH) Smith & Wesson Model: (BOTH) K-22 Masterpiece Serial No. (A) K8757 (B) K958 Caliber/Bore: (BOTH) .22 LR Barrel Length: (BOTH) 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This lot includes a pair of matching Smith & Wesson K-22 revolvers shipped May 9, 1947 and February 17, 1948 to legendary shooter Ed McGivern in Montana per included Smith & Wesson factory research letters. Born in 1874, Ed McGivern became “the fastest gun in the world” and set numerous longstanding shooting records with the handgun, also developing the iconic McGivern gold bead front sight both of these revolvers are factory equipped with. The revolvers and other associated items in this lot descended from Robert Kaurin, in McGivern’s words a “sincere and loyal friend”, of Lewistown, Montana. As shipped in 1948, the K-22, serial number K8757, remains features classic polish blued finish, pinned 6” barrel, McGivern front sight, adjustable target rear, and diamond checkered walnut grips inset with S&W medallions. The left side of the frame is engraved “ED McGIVERN / 1948”. According to Smith & Wesson historian Don Mundell “The invoice does not mention the engraving; however, I believe Smith & Wesson did the engraving at no charge for their friend, Ed McGivern.” Revolver is housed in a period correct 2-piece gold box with tools. The second gun, serial number K958, also remains in the same configuration as shipped in 1947, although is not engraved with McGivern’s name. It is also housed in a gold box with tools and shooting card. The revolvers are accompanied by a very attractive floral tooled double gun belt by Victor Ario Saddlery of Great Falls, Montana. McGivern is photographed using a very similar rig, likely by the same local maker. Also included is a signed copy of McGivern’s iconic “Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting” with personal inscription to Robert Kaurin. An original scrapbook from the Kaurin family includes original photographs of McGivern shooting, correspondence with him, and newspaper clippings. Various cleaning rods and brushes associated with the revolvers also accompany this lot. CONDITION: K8757 is near excellent, retaining approximately 95% original blue, with some wear on the ejector rod, muzzle, and high edges, as well as a turn line and scattered handling marks. Strong case colors on the hammer and trigger. Grips are very good with sharp checkering and some light impressions. Bore is crisp and bright. Especially smooth mechanics. Box shows soiling, edgewear, and some minor separation. K958 is in commensurate condition with slightly more wear shown, approximately 90% blue and a few more impressions on the grips. The rig remains very good and supple without major blemish. Signed book and scrapbook have some age related fading and wear but display well with the guns. A truly fantastic set associated with one the finest handgun shooters to ever live. 16,000 - 24,000

The Colt Collectors Association has produced their Annual Show Gun since the mid 1990’s. That gun is held as the final item in their Annual Auction - it’s the highlight of the CCA Show. The Show Gun has always graced the cover of the Fall issue of The Rampant Colt Magazine. “Originally, only Colt Master Engravers working in the Custom Shop were permitted to engrave a CCA Show Gun. That changed in 2003 when, thanks to Doug Turnbull, a sitting CCA Board Member, I was selected to engrave the Tampa, Florida Show Gun. Those guns produced early on were engraved (repeatedly) by Masters like George Spring, Steve Kamyk, Tim George, Andrew Bourbon, Dennis Kies, and Ben Lane Jr. Soon after I became involved I had the opportunity to assist in selecting new names for these project guns - names of engravers who are not directly connected with Colt Hartford, but never-the-less are Master Level Engravers. My co-chair, Charles Layson and I have named the Show Gun Masters in recent years. Each of these have been successful in producing outstanding works of the Engravers Art. That select group includes, Jim Blair, William Gamradt, Lee Griffiths, Robert Strosin, and Weldon Lister. In 2019 we altered the history of Colt Engraving forever when we named Diane Scalese as Master Engraver for the Frisco, Texas Show Gun. Diane was the first female to have her name listed as Master Engraver on a Colt Factory Letter. Each of this select group has the distinction of possessing two viable Master Engraver titles - those of FEGA Master and Colt Master.” MIKE DUBBER. This gun is engraved on back strap “COLT’S SHOW GUN”. Standard blue and case color finish with eagle grips. Serial number stamped on frame, inside frame (twice) cylinder and scratched into both grips. Features Class C American Bank Note scroll engraving. (no visible engravers id stamp). CONDITION. Excellent. As new. 12,000 - 16,000

This revolver is far scarcer than just about any Colt known. In fact, most gun enthusiasts have never even heard of a Colt Army revolver being offered in the 32-20 caliber but it is verified that they did make a few. Not only is this revolver a factory original 32-20 but it is inscribed “Robt T Hodge Sheriff King County Seattle USA 1915. “ “ Robert Tait Hodge (March 17, 1875 – October 9, 1923) was an American law enforcement officer and politician who served as the 8th Governor of Washington from 1913 to 1918. Prior to that, Hodge served as the 18th King County Sheriff from 1909 to 1912. Elected in 1912, he became the first Governor of Washington from the newly created Progressive Party. Shortly into his second term as governor, Hodge was impeached for corruption reasons.” Publication: ALTERNATIVE HISTORY. Since Hodge had been the Sheriff of King County until elected as the Governor of Washington State in 1912, running as part of Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose party, conjecture is that this gun was given to Hodge by his successor as Sheriff of King County in 1915. The gun’s serial number lists it at 1906. Gun has matching assembly number 824 on the inside frame, crane and grips. Typical pre 1913 high polish blue finish with fire blue screws and a hammer with polished sides and fire blue top and back. Grips are deluxe diamond checkered walnut found on same era Officers model which were added along with the original gutta percha grips that have the 824 matching assembly number. The two line barrel address has March 5, 95 as the last patent date with 32 WCF on right side of barrel. This gun has the new style frame that was first produced in serial range 254,xxx. The 32WCF was also introduced in 1905 with a special lowered stepped front sight and a new ejector rod cap. The VP proof is on forward trigger guard. Guns in this serial range will only have the number on the butt. Colt writes that this gun was shipped in a five gun shipment on 5-21-1906 to Seattle Hardware. CONDITION: Gun retains at least 90% plus of the factory high polish blue finish. Small parts retain generous amounts of fire blue. Both sets of grips are near mint. Action and bore are sharp. Most of the wear is along the muzzle, cylinder high edges with drag line and back strap is patina so this gun was carried but did not see much hard use. An almost impossible to upgrade 32-20 New Army 1894 revolver with historical ties to Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose party and Seattle history. 4,500 - 7,500

1466 - (C) SMITH & WESSON M13 AIR CREWMAN SURVIVAL REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Smith & wesson Model: M13 Serial No. C275146 Caliber/Bore: .38 Special Barrel Length: 2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic In the early stages of the Korean War, the Air Force began trialing lightweight revolvers to be issued to aircrews for use in survival situations. 40,000 of the alloy frame revolvers were ordered from Smith & Wesson. The inherent weakness of the alloy construction led the government to destroy the revolvers, leaving very few survivors that were already issued to crews. Most of the revolvers, barring early examples which were numbered in their own Air Force sequence, fall into the C247000 to C405363. This revolver was manufactured in late 1953 on a 4 screw anodized alloy K-frame. Per an Air Force request production switched from 5 screw to 4 screw frames that year, although civilian production of 5 screw Airweight frames continued until 1955. The left side of the frame marked at the top “REVOLVER, LIGHT WEIGHT, M 13”. Although usually found without spaces in lightweight and M13, Supica & Nahas note some 5 screw guns and a few early 4 screw guns have the spaces. Backstrap also stamped with “PROPERTY OF U.S. AIRFORCE” marking. 2” snub nose barrel and alloy cylinder. 2-piece diamond checkered round butt grips inset with S&W medallions. Matching numbers observed on butt, cylinder breech face, and underside of barrel. Inside of the right grip numbered “275 / 566”, appearing to have been on this gun for a long time. Matching assembly numbers also present on frame and crane. CONDITION: Good. Revolver retains the vast majority of its factory anodized finish with areas of wear, especially on the top of frame, cylinder, and trigger guard. Some abrasion also present on the butt and back strap. Case colors are slightly faded on trigger and hammer with a spot of oxidation on the right side of the hammer. Grips have commensurate wear and dings. Very good, bright bore with well defined rifling. Crisp mechanics. 3,800 - 5,500 1467 - (C) EXCEPTIONAL FACTORY ENGRAVED AND INSCRIBED SMITH & WESSON NEW DEPARTURE .32 DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: New Departure Serial No. 145621 Caliber/Bore: .32 S&W Barrel Length: 3 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Second model .32 New Departures were manufactured between 1902 and 1909, with matching numbers observed on butt, cylinder, and latch. Engraved with approximately 75% coverage of deluxe open acanthus scroll engraved with a punch dot background and shaded with hatching and chipped borderwork, in the manner of L.D. Nimschke. On the left side of the frame is an inscription “MISS PEARL JONES.” in a ribbon on a finely stippled ground, with the reverse engraved “June 9th 1906” in one of the scroll curls. Fit with a set of pearl grips with brass S&W medallions. Blue trigger guard, trigger, and top latch. The action works and indexes fine. Checkered grip safety on the back strap. CONDITION: Metal retains the vast majority, approximately 80%, of the original nickel, with most losses confined to barrel assembly, at flutes and bottom of barrel, and grip straps. Case colors still visible on trigger, pearl grips have excellent fire and no cracks or chips. Mechanically fine, bore is bright and shiny with sharp lands and grooves. While research has been unable to locate Miss Pearl Jones, she must have been a person of some means to be in possession of such a revolver. 5,000 - 7,000 1468 - (C) HIGH CONDITION COLT MODEL 1877 THUNDERER DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1877 DA Serial No. 130883 Caliber/Bore: .41 Colt Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic The factory letter states that this gun was shipped on February 10th, 1902, as 6” .41 calbier gun with blue finish and stocks not listed to E.G. Shields Insular Purchasing Agent, Manila, Philippine Islands, marked “E.G.&S. Manila c/o J.H.”, through New York in a 350 gun shipment. Features are as listed sporting the standard Colt gutta percha grips. The term “Marked” is interesting in that the gun does not have any marks other than standard factory. We can only surmise that they intended for bill of lading to be marked for agent. Standard blue finish also means standard case color frame. All of the screws are fire peacock blue as well as the trigger and top/back of hammer. The left side of barrel wears the roll die stamped “COLT D.A. .41”. Top of barrel stamped with Colt address. Left side of frame bears the later four line patent legend. It is also interesting that this gun was shipped to Manila four months before The Philippine-American War (1899–1902) was declared over by Teddy Roosevelt. CONDITION: Stunning overall with nearly all the brilliant case colors on frame as well as the bright blue finishes. The high polish blue finish on barrel has a hint of muzzle wear. The straps show only minute handling. The tips of the cylinder show a touch of wear with a few ghost circumference marks. The grips are crisp. The blued cylinder face shows no signs of burn. Typical of these firearms, the action works single action but sticks in double action. The bore is bright. It is amazing that any gun sent to a tropical climate such as Manila could survive in this nearly pristine condition. It is also surprising that a gun that saw no use could already have issues with the double action giving credence to the fragile nature of this Colt design. 4,000 - 6,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: Bisley Serial No. 321536 Caliber/Bore: .45 Long Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured 1912. Cattle brand guns reportedly originated sometime during the 1930s with Texas engraver Cecil Coe “Cole” Agee (1901-1955). Since that time, they have become one of the most requested type of engraving for custom revolvers and pistols. This example is not signed but is masterfully done. The barrel consists of over a dozen cattle ranch brands. The background consists of hundreds of tight punch dots. The shield and gate are engraved with a “P” and a “T”. The back strap is engraved with “IXI”. The balance of frame displays some light engraving of borders, checkerboard patterns, stars, and leaves. The cylinder has brands on each flat. The cylinder, pin, hammer, and trigger are gold washed with balance of gun nickeled. The grips are two piece ivory. All numbers are matching.

Grips are slightly toned. 4,000 - 6,000 1471 - (C) COLT TOBACCO PREMIUM MODEL 1877 LIGHTNING DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1877 DA Serial No. 141961 Caliber/Bore: .38 Colt Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic The factory letter states that this revolver was shipped on February 7, 1903 as a .38 Colt with a 4 - 1/2” barrel, blue finish, and unlisted stocks, to the Florodora Tag Company, Kansas City, Missouri, Continental Tobacco Company, New York in a shipment of 50 guns. These guns were purchased by Continental Tobacco Company and offered as as a redeemable reward upon redemption of 1500 tobacco coupons. At that time, most tobacco came in a twist pouch, open with no packaging. Once the original packages were sold from the store display, the shopkeeper would refill using lower quality tobacco. To ensure you were buying the real deal, the tobacco companies began using a metal tag as a seal of authenticity, offering rewards in exchange for the tags collected. They printed a catalog of available options and from about 1901 through 1903, you could redeem the tags for a brand new Colt Lightning, like this one. As listed, it is high polish blue with a case color frame. The back and top of hammer is fire peacock blue as are the trigger and screws. The standard two piece gutta percha Colt grips are not numbered. Matching numbers on frame, trigger guard, and backstrap. Left side of barrel is stamped “COLT D.A. 38”. The barrel has two line Colt address. Left side of frame has three line patent dates with Colt pony in circle. CONDITION. Excellent. This firearm retains nearly all the brilliant case colors with a bit of fading on loading gate and shield. The barrel and housing show just a hint of muzzle wear. All legends are sharp as new. Cylinder shows a hint of wear at the bevels, light high edge flute wear and light handling. Bright blue back strap with some light thinning with patina. The trigger guard and front strap exhibit some edge wear, light thinning, and a few age freckles. Brilliant blue on hammer with some thinning on face of trigger. Screws are true with the majority of thier fire blue intact. Grips are crisp. Action works both single and double action. Bore is bright. Apparently, this tobacco smoker died before he got much use from his new six gun. 4,000 - 5,000

James was an avid sportsman with a particular affinity for shooting quail and canvasback. He was a founding member of the Heron Lake Lodge, purchased a quail plantation in Mississippi, purchased Mardreland Plantation in Georgia in 1948, which has been a model for hunting land management, particularly regarding fire ecology, and even purchased most of the South Shore of Delta Marsh in Manitoba, which now hosts Delta Waterfowl Research Station, a wildlife management program dedicated to preserving the art of duck hunting, which he founded with Aldo Leopoldo. This shotgun was purchased for his wife Louise, who also enjoyed the outdoors and shooting sports, as reflected by its configuration. Manufactured 1934 per the letter, and confirmed by “James Purdey & Sons: Gun and Rifle Makers...” by Dallas. 26”chopper lump barrels with a steel bead front sight on a smooth, concave, depressed rib signed “J.

Interior with matching serial number and with “L.H” actioner initials.

1530 - (C) OUTSTANDING GRIFFIN & HOWE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903 SPORTING RIFLE, A REPLICA OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT’S SPORTER USED ON HIS AFRICAN SAFARI. Manufacturer: Springfield / Griffin & Howe Model: 1903 Serial No. 967281 Caliber/Bore: .30-06 Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic In 2009, on the hundredth anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s African Safari for the Smithsonian Institution and his subsequent book “African Game Trails”, the idea was hatched to replicate the Springfield sporting rifle built for Teddy in 1904 at the Springfield Armory and the gun that now resides in Sagamore Hill. The idea was floated past Paul Chapman of Griffin and Howe. He was quite reluctant to make a special rifle not of the usual Griffin and Howe profile. Enough of the rifle had to be built by them to earn the G&H moniker but it was finally agreed upon that they would take the challenge. An order was placed for two identical rifles to be made using the drawings and specs from the rifle now residing at Sagamore Hill. Once everything was secured, the process began. First, there would be several small changes from the original. Roosevelt’s rifle was chambered for the old .30-03 but the .30-06 made more practical sense. Second, his rifle had a horn butt plate with a teat. To do this, you would need a 3/4” piece of horn, which is very fragile, so a steel Neidner was chosen. Lastly, his gun was a low number standard Springfield 1903 receiver but for this project, a high number was chosen. Taking liberties on these three details was the only departure from the original. The drawings of the original barrel were sent to the Krieger company of Milwaukee to replicate to the tiniest degree, with exception to chambering. A correct Winchester style flat top sporting sight was selected along with an original 1896 Krag saddle ring carbine barrel band. Since no front sight existed to match Teddy’s rifle, one was custom milled per specs by noted gunsmith Dan Stone of the Chicago area. The compete barreled action, butt plate, sights, and barrel band were then sent to Griffin and Howe along with a copy of the drawings and measurements of the original rifle. It was there that they replicated the straight grain walnut stock and checkering, finished in hand rubbed oil, and perfectly fitted to all metal parts. They hand engraved “30 Govt 06” on the left side of barrel. Top of barrel is stamped “Griffin & Howe Inc New York, NY”. The ejector, barrel band spring. and all screws were finished in peacock nitre blue. Balance of metal done in rust blue. Griffin and Howe was going through some internal turmoil during this era and the project, from start to finish, took almost 10 years to complete It was not until much later that it was discovered after having moved the operation to New Jersey, the pair of rifles (one of which is offered here) were the last two guns ever stamped with the legendary Griffin & Howe, New York barrel address and the only two such rifles ever made by them. So they are the last guns made of the famous original custom rifle builders. The rifle comes cased with an original 1909 period map of Africa, period box of Winchester Gun Grease, period Hoppes box of solvent & patches, nickel plated oil bottle, period bagged Marbles cleaning rod, brass brushes, two ebony turn screws and a vintage box of .30-06 ammunition. The canvas and leather case wears the familiar Griffin & Howe New York trade label. CONDITION: Near new, never fired since built with only some minor wear on bolt from working the smooth as silk action. Like all Griffin and Howe custom rifles, it is a work of the gunmaker’s art. 15,000 - 25,000

1635 - IMPORTANT PRESENTATION KATANA BY IEYOSHI, GIVEN TO MAJOR GENERAL FRANK PARKER BY PRINCE KAN’IN KOTOHITO, WITH ORIGINAL PRESENTATION BOX. Blade Length: 67.1cm Overall Length: 36 - 7/8” The lid of the presentation box reads “Presentation” and “Chief of Staff” on the exterior, while the interior states that the sword is a tachi by Ieyoshi in efu-no-tachi mounts, and elaborates that it is a 500 year old sword, and is in formal mounts, and appears to say that it was given in celebration of something, unclear. Prince Kan’in was a career officer who was the Chief of Staff for the Imperial Japanese Army between 1931 and 1940. He was adopted by Emperor Komei as a potential heir, as Kotohito was from one of the viable branches of the family that could succeed in case of a death. He attended The Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1877, and studied in France as a military attache in 1882. He graduated from Army Staff college in 1894, with a specialization in cavalry, commanding 1st Cavalry Regiment between 1897 and 1899. He was a veteran of both the First Sino-Japanese and the Russo-Japanese War, and became Lieutenant General in 1905; he was a full general and member of the Supreme War Council in 1912. He was the youngest Field Marshal in the IJA at age 54, and was very active until his retirement in 1940, although he maintained his position on the Supreme War Council and as a senior advisor to the Emperor. He died May 21st, 1945. His opposite, Frank Parker, was a career US Army officer, who graduated form the US Military Academy in 1894, and proceeded to serve in the Spanish-American War and in Puerto Rico, before returning to teach at the Academy until 1903. He served as a military attache to a number of foreign nations, mostly South American, and was promoted to a brigadier generalship in 1917, when the US entered what would become World War I. After the war, he taught at a number of institutions, including Ecole Superieure de Guerre, the Command and Staff School, and the Army War College. Until his retirement in 1936, he continued to be active, with numerous other promotions and posts, including Assistant Chief of Staff, head of the Phillippine Department, and commander of the Eighth Corps Area and Third Army. This sword was presented to Frank Parker by Prince Kan’in, and is recorded in a piece from the McKissick Museum that shows Major General Parker with this sword on a tachi kake, and the reverse is written “Major General Frank Parker with 350-year-old sword presented him [sic] by Prince Kanin, chief of staff of the Japanese army and uncle of the present emperor” with an October 11th, 1936 date and what appear to be other accession control numbers. Considering how the presentation appears to be in celebration of something, and the date, perhaps a retirement gift from his Japanese counterpart? Both men spent considerable time in Europe and may have crossed paths numerous times. The sword is a 67.1 nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form with the steel grain of itame construction, with a compact gunome midare temper line, with more activity on the right side of the cutting edge, including areas of saka-choji, and more calm notare sections on left left, mixed with nie, and sunagashi. Suriage nakago with two mekugi-ana, katte sagari yasurime, and signed katanamai “Ieyoshi”. Accompanied by an NTHK Kantei-sho and Shinsa sheet dated 1997, to a mid Muromachi smith, Echizen Ieyoshi; Fujishiro rates Ieyoshi as a chu-jo-saku smith with a wazamono cutting rank, and records that he was a member of the Chiyozuru school, and may have been the same person as Kashu Ieyoshi, and that his style resembled Fujishima Tomoshige. Efu no tachi mounts of classic configuration with high grade sa-me, golden baskets, and menuki in the form of buttons, with paulownia flowers on a nanako ground. Nashiji lacquer saya with tachi mounts, done in brass and purple cord, with leather tachi no-o. Accompanied by a binder of research and translations of the various pieces; standouts include NTHK papers, original photo of Frank Parker with this sword on a tachi make in his office, extensive photos and biographical information on Parker and Kotohito, and correspondence with the McKissick Museum, which housed the sword until 1997 when it was deaccessioned at auction. CONDITION: Blade with clear features throughout, interrupted by a few spots of patchy mossing including some shintetsu, with features visible throughout but soft in some areas. Some handling marks, but no serious openings such as fukure. Mounts are very good with some handling marks and age related distress and darkening, but solid and whole. Box with some handling marks and missing some small pieces, but writing is clearly legible throughout. Imperial presentation swords are very rare, especially ones where we can identify both the recipient and the giver, between two respected military members. 20,000 - 30,000

Suriage nakago with kiri jiri, two mekugi-ana, katte sagari yasurime, and signed Fujiwara Yukinaga. Accompanied by two sets of papers, one a NBTHK Hozon paper dated August 25th, 2020, and an NBTHK Kicho paper dated May 9th, 1965. Adding to the desirability of this sword are the custom army mounts, which have a single hanger, leather wrapped saya with catch, pierced tsuba, and a copper habaki with the family name Shimada. Sea green tsuka ito and high quality sa-me, menuki in the form of a swarm of birds, and kabuto gane with blue-and-brown sword tassel for Company officers. With storage bags. PROVENANCE: This sword came from Mike Yamasaki, the noted sword authority, who acquired it from the original family. Oral history was the officer who had this sword was a doctor from a known samurai family, so they mounted a family blade in custom mounts for him to take to war. It was a common practice to mount familial blades for soldiers, so they could carry a family relic with them and draw on the spiritual power. The presence of a Bungo blade adds to this, as Bungo blades were well regarded for their reliability and cutting ability, making them a prime choice for a real working samurai, rather than an art piece. CONDITION: Excellent, healthy, and in polish. Activities are clear throughout, jigane is a little soft but still very visible. Some very minor handling marks and associated marks from age that do not detract. Mounts are very good with some minor handling marks, such as surface scrapes to leather. True samurai blades like this are highly desirable, and a maker like Yukinaga coupled with the World War II connection make this a wonderful complete package, already papered. 6,000 - 10,000

1637 - IMPORTANT WORLD WAR II KATANA SIGNED BY YOSHIHARA KUNIIE USING HIS NOBUTAKE MEI. Blade Length: 67.2cm Overall Length: 37 - 3/4” Yoshihara Kuniie was born in 1894, the son of a 7th generation toolmaker. He followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming the eighth generation, but had interest in sword smithing, and in 1933 when Kurihara Hikosaburo began the program to train wordsmiths, Yoshihara was the first to sign up. Based on his previous experience as a toolmaker, he quickly gained skill and his work was highly regarded. He trained under Kurihara and Kiyoyuki, but his true mentor is considered Kasamaa Ikkansai Shigetsugu, who Kurihara brought in to be a formal teacher at the Nipponto Tanren Denshujo. By 1937, Kuniie was an auxiliary teacher at the Kingakubu Nihonto Kenkyujo at Kyushu University, and opened his own smithy in Tokyo in 1938. He was a part time teacher at multiple schools, and was a Rukugun Jumei Tosho during the war, which provided him with access to tamahagane. Swords with signatures like this one, which reads “Tokyo Dai Ichi Rikugun Zoheisho Yoshihara Nobutake”, are the ones he made while he was training wordsmiths for the Imperial Army in Akabane, Tokyo; considering that he only started teaching there in 1943, swords with this signature are quite scarce. After the war, Kuniie went back to tool making, apparently running a successful crowbar manufacturing business with his son, but when the restriction on swordsmiting was lifted in 1953, he returned the craft, and focusing on it full time in 1964. He trained an apprentice, Shimizu Tadatsugu, and his two grandchildren, Yoshindo and Shoji, before passing in 1970. Today, four of his students are considered mukansa (lit. “without judgement”); his son Shoji is also designated an Important Living Cultural Property, and was in The Last Samurai as the wordsmith for a warlord in the film, and Yoshindo is a Tokyo Living National Asset. 67.2 cm nagasa (approximately 26 - 1/2”) of classic shinogi zukuri form. Done in the Soden Bizen style that Kuniiye was most well known for, with choji temper line, a dense and well-grained itame with areas of tobiyaki and ji nie, saka ashi, with long strands of kinsuji. Some muneyaki towards boshi. Dated for an auspicious day in June of Showa 18 (1943). Solid silver habaki with hatch decoration. Housed in a honoki wood shirasaya which fits well. CONDITION: In good, recent polish that shows off features well throughout. There is some looseness just below the mono uchi that does not detract. Mei is clear and confidently cut. This is a fantastic sword from one of the most well respected smiths of the modern era, who had an indelible impact on the art form. 6,000 - 10,000

2017 - REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD BRASS CANNON RECOVERED FROM THE ROYAL GEORGE Inscribed “Relic of the Royal George Sunk 1782, Raised 1840”. The HMS Royal George was a ship of the line built in 1756, and served during the Seven Years War, was Hawke’s flagship at Quiberon Bay, and was retired in 1763, but reactivated to serve during the Revolutionary War. In 1782 the ship was sunk during a mishap while attempting to roll the hull; more than 800 died. During that same year, salvage attempts began and a number of guns and other pieces were recovered; this cataloger is aware of several other books bound in timber from the ship with nearly identical inscriptions, and there is a 24 pounder at the Royal Armouries. Salvage continued until 1842, but in 1840 the structure of the wreck was destroyed with controlled explosions, largely settling the matter. Turned in six stages, with wedding rings at the girdles and a raised, turned muzzle. CONDITION: Excellent, with a deep mustard-gold patina throughout with some verdigris in recesses. Bore has what appears to be compacted sawdust which prevents an “air check” of touchhole, but appears to be drilled through correctly. 1,500 - 3,000

The lot consists of his stunning presentation grade sword that features a double etched blade with beautifully frosted patriotic and foliate motifs on each side. The obverse features a panel that is etched “Lt. Col. H.C. Alleman” with reverse featuring a federal eagle perched on a shield in the foreground of a spread of American flags. Blade is etched with the retailer “G.W. Simons / & Bro: / Manfr’s / Philada, Pa.” on the obverse ricasso. This sword was assembled by Philadelphia jeweler George W. Simon who is listed as “Geo. W. Simon & Bro.” during the Civil War, and was a jeweler and sword mounter with business located on Sansom Street in Philadelphia. Simon assembled swords using both imported and domestic blades with his company name etched on the ricasso. The panel on the reverse ricasso is etched in a checker pattern with the words “UNION FOR EVER” with stars and stripes. A faint patina has set in on the blade with scattered blemishes that are most evident after the etched panels. There are small areas of rust on either side of the ricasso. The rest of the blade shines and the etched panels remain undisturbed with distinct definition to the embellishments. The hilt is as breathtaking as the blade and features a beautifully gilded eagle between the letters “US” with open scrollwork, followed by an eagle head quillon with gemstone eyes. Grip is of silver with thick scroll decorations and Columbia with sword and patriotic shield. The pommel features gilded foliage that leads to a spread winged eagle. The hilt exhibits generous traces of original gilding with a light patina that has begun to set in. There are a few areas of loss, particularly by the claws of the eagle, but the overall appearance is not affected by these aged areas. The sword is complete with its scabbard which, like the ricasso, features excellent amounts of its original gilding. The presentation is located between the mounts and reads “Presented to Lt. Col. H.C. Alleman / BY / Non Com Officers and Privates, / OF THE 127th Regt P.V. / As a Token of Esteem”. The presentation is contained in a thick braided frame and is surrounded by the beautifully cast and chased mounts each of which boast their own decorations. The upper mount features an “A” contained in a frame with elegant leafy borders. The A is highlighted by pearl decoration. The middle mount features arms and armor and each mount exhibits a thickly braided carry ring. The drag features beautiful scrollwork that compliments the rest of the scabbard. The upper mount’s decoration has separated at some point and is secured by string The scabbard exhibits areas of gilt loss but presents excellently and remains dignified. The sword is contained in its original leather wrapped and blue velvet lined presentation grade case. The group also includes Alleman’s field used Staff and Field Officer’s sword. The sword features a double etched blade embellished with foliate and patriotic motifs. Ricasso is marked “P.D.L.”. A mellow patina has set in on the blade but the decorations remain defined. Hilt features a guard with open scrollwork that surrounds the letters “US” with oxidation noticed throughout the motifs. Shagreen wrapped wood grip that is grooved to accommodate twisted brass wire. Grip exhibits oxidation but wrap remains tight with slightly loose wire. The sword is complete with its metal scabbard that exhibits a pleasing finish with patina. Mounts are mostly plain and remain secured to the scabbard body. Drag with scattered small dents. There is also a NCO sword that is marked by Ames enclosed within an unraveled scroll and “U.S. / J.M. / 1862”. The blade is bright with scattered blemishes. Hilt with mellow patina. Complete with its leather scabbard that features 1 break that is repaired by tape and the drag is separated. There is also large 28” x 18” silver serving tray that is embellished with ornate scrollwork that surrounds a presentation to Col. and Mrs. Alleman that was presented as a gift of congratulations for their marriage in 1889. The tray exhibits a pleasing patina with embellishments that remain visible. Lastly, there is a oil on canvas painting of the Colonel in his uniform. The painting measures 28” x 33” and is mounted on a gilded wood frame. The colors remain vibrant with a 1” tear on Alleman’s beard. Hiram Clay Alleman was born in 1831 and was a 30-year-old attorney residing in Harrisburg, PA when he enlisted as a Captain on 8/5/62 at Harrisburg, PA. On 8/9/62 he was commissioned into Co. D, 127th Pennsylvania and was promoted to Lt. Colonel on 8/16/62. He commanded the 127th at Fredericksburg where he was wounded in the leg by a shell fragment and at Chancellorsville where he was struck in the ribs by a shell fragment, falling from his horse. He was mustered out of service along with the regiment on 5/29/63. In June 1863 upon Lee’s advance towards Pennsylvania, Alleman recruited the 36th Pennsylvania Militia and was appointed Colonel. He marched his command to Gettysburg following the battle, where he was made Military Governor of the town, battlefield, and hospitals. His unit was responsible for collecting the dead, wounded, and lost soldiers in the area as well as equipment including muskets, blankets, wagons, horses, and mules. Alleman mustered out of the 36th along with the rest of its members on 8/11/63, so his duties at Gettysburg lasted just 5 - 1/2 weeks. He was then elected to the PA House of Representatives, serving from 1864-1865. He later practiced law in Philadelphia, and in 1873 was appointed Attorney of the United States for Colorado. Alleman died in New York City in 1906, and is buried in Washington, DC. This is a fantastic archive from a gentleman soldier with an impressive service history that includes an excellent sword which stands out on its own. CONDITION: Fair-very good. 15,000 - 30,000

The inside crown of the hat retains the original lacquered maker’s label which is embossed in gilt, “US Army” over “(eagle) / (shield) / (panoply of arms)” with “Extra Manufacture” and size 4 underneath.

A nice displayable example of this very desirable piece of US regulation Civil War military headgear. 2,000 - 4,000 2065 - IDENTIFIED EARLY CIVIL WAR SUMMER HAVELOCK. Exceedingly rare, white cotton duck forage cap and Havelock. Discarded and cursed as making the neck too hot or not allowing air to circulate, these British designed neck protectors were only seen briefly at the start of the War in 1861 and then rarely seen again. Most commonly associated with the Battle of Bull Run, they are an early war item that is missing from most collections. This example is named in period ink on the crown, “Joseph L. Bonn / 13th N.Y. Inf.” The 13th, the “Rochester regiment,” composed of eight companies from Rochester, one from Dansville and one from Brockport, was mustered into the U. S. service at Elmira for a term of three months. It left Elmira on May 29, 1861, for Washington with the 12th, and camped on Meridian Hill until June 3, when it was ordered to Fort Corcoran, where it was employed in construction work until the opening of the Manassas movement. It then became a part of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, Army of Northeastern Virginia; was engaged at Blackburn’s ford, and was active at Bull Run, where they lost 58 members. The regiment’s service record supports the ID as his unit was where many of these originated from New York units and where they have documented use. The top is ventilated with a hole sewn into the top of the crown and a button used as the vent. The underside of the button is an oilcloth reinforcing patch. Most likely used once and then store away, this is a museum quality example of this scarce headgear. CONDITION: Excellent with only the slightest age discoloration. From a smoke free home. 1,500 - 3,500

2070 - CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE PIKE HEAD BOWIE KNIFE WITH SCABBARD. Blade Length: 12 - 1/4” Overall Length: 17” Though unmarked, this bayonet blade is an exact match with a specimen featured in the famous Ben Palmer Bowie knife collection bearing the maker-mark “T.A. Potts / New Orleans / 1840”. While the date of manufacture is open to conjecture, it is probable that these bayonets were not government issue but originated with state or militia troops. Although from the Civil War era, its attachment rings are too small to fit the standard .58 caliber Civil War rifle, nor does it come with any locking device. The intended use of this blade is a matter of some speculation, as described on page 66 of Abels’ “Classic Bowie Knives” that it was likely intended as a combat knife that could also double as a pike head or bayonet, while Albaugh suggests on page 165 of “Confederate Edged Weapons” that the rings integral to the guard and pommel are too small for a rifle barrel or pike staff. These knives were believed to have been sold by Potts, a military outfitter in New Orleans, and similar examples are known to have been made by Rees Fitzpatrick of Natchez, Mississippi, though some suggest Dufilho as possible manufacturer. The weapon is composed of a large bowie knife with a long clip point blade, fitted with a fine flat-sided wood grip and brass furniture. The guard and pommel are both thick brass. The front ring has a 1 - 1/8” exterior and 13/16” interior diameter, and the rear ring has a 1 - 3/8 inch exterior and a 13/16” inch interior. This example exhibits an older polishing throughout the blade. Pleasing light patina to hilt that also appears to have been cleaned. Grip exhibits nice dark finish. This example is complete with its original leather scabbard that features brass mounts. Scabbard is in rough condition with 1 major break toward the throat, however it remains intact as 1 piece. Throat is missing 1 pin on each side and is slightly loose. Drag exhibits a dent. CONDITION: Good. 2,000 - 4,000

2085 - EXTREMELY SCARCE 1872 CAVALRY BRACE SYSTEM. In 1872 the Cavalry Board adopted these leather braces to support a troopers extensive load.

These M1872 Cavalry Braces are extremely scarce, as there were only 2000 made and most did not survive the frontier. The front straps attach to loops on the 1872 Cavalry Belt and there is a clip to accommodate a carbine, as the brace system acted as a carbine sling. This example was former Ed Greene and Scott Meadows. The brace system remains supple with areas of light crazing throughout its construction. Brass components exhibit a pleasing patina. All pieces are properly riveted and there are no major breaks or tears. A fine example of a rare piece of US Cavalry equipment. CONDITION: Good. 3,000 - 6,000

2087 - M1872 US CAVALRY ANDREW’S PATTERN FOLDING CAMPAIGN HAT. Seldom seen M1872 regulation cavalry folding campaign hat. Often said that this is one of the scarcest pieces of federal regulation headgear, this style hat was worn by both officers and enlisted men during the Great Sioux War of 1876. Historians associate this pattern hat with Custer’s troopers during the Battle of Little Bighorn in June 1876. Manufactured by Pettibone under a US Government contract, these have a very limited survival rate due to their limited popularity, fragility of the design, material of the hat, and the harsh conditions in which they were used.

The loop is affixed to the body by a Hoffman swivel. The back of the hanger is stamped “WATERVLIET / ARSENAL”. Field use indicated that the swivel was delicate and easily broken, therefore most of the holsters were modified or replaced. Surviving, un-altered, examples of the 1874 pattern holster are seldom encountered by collectors. The holster remains intact with light crazing throughout and scattered flaked areas. This example is featured on page 95 of US Military Holsters and Related Accoutrements by Edward Scott Meadows. CONDITION: Good. 2,000 - 4,000 2090 - US CIVIL WAR M1861 FEDERAL ISSUE BLANKET.

During the Civil War, one of the most invaluable items a soldier carried on campaigns was the “gum” rubber blanket. The Union purchased or made 1,893,007 of these blankets between 1860-1866 for every soldier. They were among the first items given to a recruit and were treasured by troops who used them as protection against the elements. These blankets measured 70” x 60” and featured brass eyelets on the outer edges. Manufacturers used cotton for the substrate and then coated it with rubber. This example measures approximately 70” x 44” and has been subject to shrinkage. There are several small holes and repairs throughout its construction but it appears that all brass grommets are in place. There are stains throughout with some areas of flaking on the rubber side. This example also features its original inspector stamp that reads “H.S. McCOMS / MILITARY INSPECTOR” in red ink. Consigner states that this blanket was used to wrap a Civil War musket that was purchased at Bannerman’s castle in 1959. CONDITION: Fair. 2,000 - 4,000 330

2092 - M1852 NAVAL OFFICER’S SWORD PRESENTED TO REAR ADMIRAL CHARLES S. BOGGS. Blade Length: 30 - 1/2” Overall Length: 36 - 1/4” A nice example of a post-Civil War M1852 Naval Officer’s sword presented to Rear Admiral Charles Stewart Boggs. The sword is in standard M1852 configuration, decorated for over half its length with etched panels that depict naval and foliate motifs. The blade measures approximately 1” in width with slight curve, meaning the sword dates pre-1870. Blade is marked “Joseph / Starkey / Conduit St / London”. Blade exhibits nice decorations, very clean overall, with scattered blemishes toward the tip and a few nicks along the edge. Hilt with standard serpent quillon and guard with USN banner, pommel with eagle in star vignette. Hilt exhibits a generous amount of gilding. Rayskin grip with strands of twisted brass wire. Compete with black leather scabbard that features brass mounts, also retaining generous amounts of original gilding. Fouled ring mounts with 2 carry rings and serpent drag. Scabbard is marked “Joseph Starkey / 25 Conduit St / London” in decorative shield. Mounts are slightly loose but secured to scabbard body. Silver presentation escutcheon is located between the upper and middle mounts and reads “Rear Admiral, C.S. Boggs / 1886”. Scabbard remains sturdy with a few scattered scuffs and blemishes. Charles Stewart Boggs (1811-1888) was appointed midshipman in the U.S. Navy in 1826; passed midshipman 1832; lieutenant, 1837; commander, 1855; captain, 1862; commodore, 1866; rear admiral, 1870. He served at the Boston Navy Yard; aboard the brig Porpoise; on the USS North Carolina in 1837; and on the steamer Princeton in the Mexican War. In the 1850s he served on the frigate St. Lawrence, commanded 2 mail steamers and was lighthouse inspector in California in 1860-1861. He is best known as commander of the screw gunboat Varuna in the fighting at Forts Jackson and St. Philip in April 1862 in Farragut’s move up the Mississippi against New Orleans. In Farragut’s advance group, the ship, carrying 8 8-inch guns and 2 30-pd. rifles, took part in fighting the CSS Louisiana and the Manassas near Ft. St. Philip, then moved upriver, becoming the lead vessel, engaging a group of Confederate gunboats and pursued by the Louisiana gunboat Governor Moore, the two ships firing into one another sometimes at a range of ten feet in dense smoke. Twice rammed by the Louisiana vessel, Boggs ran his sinking ship aground even while being rammed by yet another Confederate ship, and yet kept his guns firing until the gundeck was swamped and the vessel sank. 8 of his men were awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in the desperate fight, which was celebrated in poem opening, “Who has not heard of the dauntless Varuna? / Who has not heard of the deeds she has done?” Promoted captain in July, he later commanded the steam sloops Juniata and Sacramento, the cruiser Connecticut, and from 1866 to 1868, the gunboat De Soto. He commanded the European fleet 1871, retired 1872, but served on the lighthouse board into 1873. The sword may relate to his trip to Europe in 1886 or a recent article dealing with the fight of the Varuna and Governor Moore, though before leaving on that trip he announced his intention to contradict some aspects of that article. He died in 1888 in his native New Jersey. CONDITION: Very good. 2,000 - 4,000

2099 - GEORGIA ZOUAVES BADGE OF LIEUTENANT PENN BEDELL, WHO KILLED THE FIRST ATLANTA POLICE OFFICER KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY An attractive badge named to Penn Bedell, who was a southerner with a colorful history. Bedell enlisted in the Confederate States Army on April 28, 1861, at New Orleans in Nelligan’s 1st Louisiana for 1 year and was 2nd Lt. of Co. D. He resigned in July 1861, but apparently then became 1st Lt. in Company C, serving until March 1862 when he was “dropped,” likely indicating he did not reenlist “for the war” when the army was reorganizing in Spring 1862. During the post-war years, he was a member of the Georgia Zouaves, and an 1874 newspaper article sheds light on this award: “Lieut. Key, of the Jonesboro Zouaves presented Lieut. Bedell of the Georgia Zouaves with a magnificent gold badge, representing the coat of arms of Georgia.” The badge is quite attractive and features a ribbon bearing the name “PENN BEDELL” with chain suspension that holds a cross that exhibits the Georgia coat of arms as described by the article, with presentation in each arm of the cross. Bedell has an interesting history, as he was involved in a shootout with an Atlanta policeman, M.W. Rasbury, in which Bedell killed Rasbury; Rasbury was the first Atlanta police officer killed in the line of duty. Since Rasbury shot twice first, Bedell had the charges against him dropped. Bedell was later murdered on February 19, 1874 and was buried in his Zouaves uniform. The badge exhibits a pleasing light patina with no visible gold markings, and is most likely gilded brass. CONDITION: Very good. 1,500 - 2,500

2107 - US SPANISH AMERICAN WAR P1892 SHELTER HALF. Shelter halves of the 1864 pattern were issued at least until the mid-1890s when the stock was fully exhausted.

2217 - (A) THOMAS TURNER P1853 MARKSMAN PERCUSION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Thomas Turner Model: P1853 Match Target Rifle Caliber/Bore: .52 caliber Barrel Length: 32” FFL Status: Antique Manufactured during the Civil War era by Thomas Turner of Birmingham. Turner was well regarded for his rifling patent, which was among the best rifling patents to come out of England during the period as it was very efficient at staying accurate and clean even when used heavily. He also was a contractor to make the P1853 Enfield rifle musket, and examples of his Enfields have been observed as sold for Confederate use. The Confederacy used English target match rifles for their sharpshooters in the Civil War, with Kerr and Whitworth being the most noted. There have been a handful of Turners observed as well with real Confederate markings. On period ledgers, rifles of this type are referred to as “small bore Enfields”, so while Kerr and Whitworth are the most noted, the Confederacy was not overly specific on what they were bringing in for use. Offered here is a very good condition P1853 match target rifle by Turner in classic configuration. Barrel is marked near rear sight with “Turners Patent” and underneath with Birmingham proofs, 32 bore marking, and the number “52”, which is assumed to be a marking in caliber measurement. Barrel is also marked underneath with “Thomas Turner” as the barrel maker and “HH” inspector marking. This “HH” marking also appears on the inside of the lock, along with “T. Turner”. Right side of stock wrist near lock is marked with “1539”, probably a rack number. There are no known Confederate markings on this rifle. CONDITION: Excellent for its age, with fading original blue mixed with a brown patina, and minor freckling and handling marks throughout. Breech area shows signs of use, with freckling throughout. Ramrod and screws are difficult to pull, as the wood has swollen around them from not being apart for a considerable amount of time. Ramrod shows areas of handling marks consistent with being difficult to remove. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is bright with sharp rifling. 3,000 - 6,000

This example is one of the more interesting privately produced examples by Tokyo Gas Electric company, who appear to have taken the reins from Tokyo Artillery Arsenal on production of the Papa, as Naval adoption of the Papa meant that Tokyo arsenal no longer had the production capacity to keep up. After World War I, the Papa Nambu (and the Baby) was shelved in favor of the Type 14, and and the parts left over from Tokyo Arsenal were provided to Tokyo Gas Electric, who fulfilled the final contracts and finally ceased private production in 1928. This example is in the classic configuration with barleycorn front sight, 500 meter adjustable rear sight, TGE logo ahead of ejection port, and with normal kanji on frame and an anchor on the right, behind the serial number and Nambu designation. Two piece wooden grips, left scale with matching serial number.

Housed in a rubberized canvas holster with spare magazine, and cleaning tool, with kanji on rear that reads “Second Lieutenant Koga” and an attached tag that the was released by U.S. intelligence as a war trophy, listing “One Pistol” and what to be appears to be an Ensign’s name, signed C.H. Debbar? CONDITION: Good, retaining the majority, approximately 60-70%, of the original bluing with distension about the proofs from application of stamp.

Straw essentially faded out, with traces visible in protected areas. Holster very good with some scuffs and handling marks. Mechanically fine, bore with heavily softened rifling and frosting throughout. 2,000 - 3,000

Classic configuration, similar to the Type 14 but with distinct grip safety, with TG&E crest on top, left side of frame with kanji for “Army Type”, right with “Type Nambu”. Aluminum bottom magazine with checkered bosses. Pistol resists disassembly to verify internals, but observable numbers on exterior match.

U.S.A.” This is the only carbine marked as such known to Larry Ruth who believed it was possibly assembled by Military Armament Corp. The carbine sports a “11 50” dated Springfield Armory barrel with military sights. Small parts appear to be largely military with late features including a round bolt and flip safety.

Manufacturer: Saginaw Model: M1 Carbine Serial No. 3644144 Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 18” FFL Status: Curio & Relic After WWII approximately 70,000 M1 Carbines were provided to the Netherlands; around half of Dutch troops in the Korean War were armed with these weapons. After adopting the FAL in 1961, many of these carbines were rebuilt and disposed of. This example bears the standard intertwined “Al” Artillerie-lnrichtingen marking over the rebuild date “9-61” on the barrel as well as an Arlington Ordnance import marking. The Inland barrel is dated “11-43”. The receiver was made at Grand Rapids but has a serial number associated with the Saginaw Plant. The Grand Rapids facility stopped carbine production on Jan 1, 1944 but continued to make receivers and trigger housings which were sent to the Saginaw Plant for assembly. During the Dutch rebuild process these carbines had all mixed parts, this example was largely restored to World War II configuration by Larry Ruth, including milled front sight, flip rear, flat bolt, and push button safety. Sought after parts include “S’G’” bolt, “SW-S’G’” sear, “E-S’G’” mag catch, “E-S’G’” safety, “S’G’” slide, and “RSG” hand guard. Replacement low wood stock with 2-rivet hand guard retained by a type 1 flat band. Complete with green woven sling. CONDITION: Very good.

Carbine is fitted with an even more interesting Winchester barrel with a swaged gas cylinder, as Winchester made barrels with integral gas cylinders. Pages 319-320 of Larry Ruth’s “War Baby” discus Winchester buying parts from manufacturers whose contracts were cancelled in April 1944. It is believed this may have been an unfinished barrel from one of these contracts that Winchester completed. “N” marked milled front sight, adjustable rear sight, “7764” electro-pencil marked flat bolt, and push button safety. Small parts were largely corrected to WWII configuration by Larry Ruth after receiving it directly from the importer. High wood stock marked “RSG” in the sling well with “RSG” 2 rivet hand guard retained by a Type 1 band. Complete with a green woven sling. CONDITION: Very good as restored. The majority of the parkerized finishes are retained, a bayonet lug ghost present on the barrel and light to moderate wear throughout. Stock and hand guard are fine as lightly cleaned with a few minor marks. Very good, bright bore. ME of 2. Fine mechanics. A very interesting error carbine with perhaps the highest known WWII serial number. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection 2,500 - 3,500

Manufacturer: Inland Model: M1 Carbine Serial No. 986071 Caliber/Bore: .30 Carbine Barrel Length: 21 - 1/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured on a 1st production block circa Fall 1943 Inland receiver. Finished in commercial blue with an aftermarket barrel and ramped blade front sight, at one point having a rear peep sight, now fitted with a Ted Williams 4X scope on a Numrich base. Rather than a self-loading action, this conversion is slide actuated and self-closing. Although there is no associated provenance, it may be a prototype for the .44 Vulcan carbine or simply a wonderful gunsmith concoction. Stocked in what appears to be a modified Fajen Monte Carlo stock with serrated plastic butt plate. Complete with a shortened magazine. CONDITION: Near excellent as converted. Virtually all of the blued finish is retained throughout. Stock shows some scattered marks. Optic has some clouding. Very good, crisp bore. ME reads under 1. Fine mechanics. A very interesting piece.

2358 - VERY RARE PROTOTYPE ALL STEEL M2 CARBINE STOCK. As the Korean War continued into 1952, the US struggled to obtain enough walnut to stock their small arms production and began looking for other alternatives. Springfield had 4 steel stocks fabricated, likely by the Higgins Pressed Steel Company. This stock along with another similar prototype surfaced at a gun shop in Pasadena in the 1970s. This example is constructed of unfinished stamped 20 gauge soft stamped steel with an integral oiler clip and M2 cut. The standard butt plate fits tightly but is not affixed. An “A” marked bayonet lug barrel band is also included. This stock is pictured on page 1285 of Ruth’s “WAR BABY III”.

Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1899 Krag Carbine Serial No. 228385 Caliber/Bore: .30-40 Krag Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Curio & Relic In 1906, General Allen requested that 5000 modified Krag carbines for the Philippine Constabulary be assembled from cut down rifle stocks and modified to accept the Krag knife bayonet. All Philippine carbines have a 22” barrel with the muzzle turned down to accept the Krag knife bayonet. The shortened stock has an almost invisible wood plug inserted into the end of which only an outline is visible. All were stamped after final completion on left side J.F.C. (James F. Coyle) , the civilian inspector who came to work at the Springfield Armory in 1907. The 1898 carbine handguard was rounded at face to meet the barrel band. The rear sight is an 1898 C marked carbine sight. The butt plate has a trap door. Sling swivels on stock and barrel band. Standard blue and case color finish with fire blue small parts and extractor. The receiver is stamped US MODEL 1899 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY. These are not to be confused with the countless number of surplus cut down Krag rifles that were sold wholesale by the likes of Bannerman’s or Stoke’s. This carbine comes with an 1898 US Krag marked knife bayonet. The wood grips are stamped __NY K26. The scabbard is finished in high polish blue. CONDITION: Excellent. The barrel retains nearly all the factory blue finish starting to blend patina. The fire blue extractor is dulling. The casehardened receiver, side-plate and loading gate have patterned out to a mottled blue grey appearance but were dark as factory finished and never the bright case colors as you would find on a Winchester of the era. The stock is excellent with sharp inspector stamp as well as the cursive P, showing usual minor impressions. Hand guard is not cracked. Action is smooth. Bore is bright. The band and forend are smooth patina. The bayonet and scabbard are in excellent condition. This is an extremely nice condition example of a very hard to find Krag. 3,500 - 4,500

2407 - (C) OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL PAINT WWII BRITISH PIAT (PROJECTOR-INFANTRY-ANTITANK) WEAPON Manufacturer: England Model: PIAT Caliber/Bore: 83mm Mortar FFL Status: Curio & Relic World War II British PIAT with original sights, cheek and shoulder pads, and monopod. Essentially a giant (and very strong) spring within a housing which is capable of launching a 2.5 pound explosive projectile 350 feet in a direct fire role and about triple that in an indirect fire role. The propelling charge is housed in the projectile and the release of the spring in the PIAT caused the shaft to release forward under heavy tension and detonate the propelling charge in the projectile. The PIAT has been called a “shoulder fired spigot mortar”, and this is not inaccurate. This device was largely unknown to Americans (except for veterans) until the airing of the 1977 film “A Bridge Too Far”, where it was featured prominently in several scenes. There has been confusion regarding whether or not the PIAT falls under the provisions of the National Firearms Act. We have verified with the BATF that it is NOT subject to the provisions of the NFA, and it will transfer as a Curio and Relic eligible rifle. Rather than go into the history and reasons surrounding this, we will leave it at that. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original brown painted finish with some loss in places revealing primer and brown patina with a wear pattern indicating genuine military field use (one cannot fake this to an experienced soldier). The mechanism (mechanics) is crisp and positive. This cataloger has seen a number of these over the years, but none have been superior to this specimen. An absolutely fabulous piece for the British WWII collector. Pretty much impossible to upgrade the way this specimen presents itself. Museum level quality. JWK 2024-09-059. 1,200 - 2,400

2455 - RARE THIRD REICH EICKHORN DIPLOMAT SWORD Blade Length: 31 - 1/4” Overall Length: 36” Designed and authorized in 1938, the Diplomatic Official’s Sword was authorized for wear by German Diplomats in formal attire. The sword’s design was derived from the more commonly encountered German Diplomatic Corps daggers. The German Diplomatic Corps was headed by Joachim von Ribbentrop from 1938 to 1945. In 1946 Joachim Ribbentrop was tried at Nuremberg, found guilty of crimes against humanity, and executed. The overall condition of this Eickhorn Diplomat sword is near mint. The 31-1/4” nickel plated blade is acid etched along both sides of the blades upper half with a very ornate floral design and a central motif with eagle clutching a swastika. The upper reverse of the blade is marked with the maker’s logo and name “Original Eickhorn, Solingen”. The firm of Eickhorn produced a wide variety of the various styles of Third Reich dress weapons. However, in regards to the Diplomatic Corp’s dress daggers and swords, the firm of Alcoso seemed to have been awarded the larger contract, as the majority of the diplomatic edged weapons found on today’s market were produced by Alcoso. For unknown reasons the firm of Eickhorn did not produce very many of these already extremely rare swords, so finding an original Eickhorn produced Diplomatic Sword is quite literally like finding “the golden needle in the haystack”. The single piece constructed cross-guard and D-guard are made of artificially aged silver plated brass which exhibits signs of hand finishing and is in near mint condition. The cross guard design is the standard left facing diplomatic corps eagle with outstretched wings, clutching a wreathed swastika. An “Art Deco” styled eagle is the grip’s pommel, and holds in place the elegant mother of pearl grip plates. The grip plates remain in their factory condition, and are very expertly fitted to the contours of the grips backstrap and pommel features. The scabbard, which measures 32-1/4” in length, is made of a thicker leather core which was then professionally wrapped in a fine blue goatskin leather. The leather remains bright and is without any damage or discoloration. The seam of the scabbards leather wrapping is barely visible on the left edge (as viewing). The lower fitting of the scabbard is made of an artificially aged silvered brass which is held in place on the leather by a staple on the reverse. The upper fitting of the scabbard is also made of an artificially aged silvered brass which has been attached to the leather by a single staple on the reverse. The numeral “1” can be seen stamped on the fitting under the staple. There is a single hanger lug in the shape of an oak leaf on the upper scabbard fitting. This lug was used to attached the sword to its appropriate hanger for wear. The throat of the scabbard is also stamped with the numeral “1”. Accompanying this sword is a rare original metal quality control Eickhorn tag. This tag appears to have never been removed from the sword. This particular sword is also accompanied with a copy of the sales receipt and certificate of authenticity from respected author and dealer “Thomas Johnson”. The letter is dated 20 April 1983, over 40 years ago. At this time Mr. Johnson valued this sword at $9,000, a staggering number in those days. Mr. Johnson also states in his letter that the swords internal parts are numbered “1”, which corresponds with the numerals seen on the scabbards throat and fittings, making this sword correctly matching numbers. The Diplomatic Official’s Sword is an item that deserves the truly special classification of rare. Adding to this, the fact this example is an Eickhorn produced Diplomatic Sword puts it in a category of it’s own. Finding a complete original Eickhorn example, on the open market, is a rarity amongst itself. Here is an example which deserves the consideration of even the most discerning collector. Don’t miss your opportunity. DMW 20,000 - 30,000

LIMITED GUARANTEE

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. The descriptions carry a limited guarantee. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications not disclosed in the description. In regard to Japanese swords, MORPHY’s does not guarantee that swords without NBTHK, NTHK, NTHK-NPO, or any other papers will pass shinsa unless explicitly stated otherwise. Translations are only provided as a courtesy to our bidders and do not constitute a guarantee regarding the maker. Similarly, if a sword is polished and flaws are found, they are not grounds for a return. If a blade is in polish and flaws were missed, then our normal limited guarantee applies. Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition, and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms. Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.

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

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship. We recommend you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper.

MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via UPS or other carriers, FOB, Denver, Pennsylvania, or FOB other auction locations.

Insurance purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S welcomes our international customers. MOPRHY’S can provide upon request a complete process and set of recommended company contacts with whom the Buyer can work to understand the steps, timing, and cost to acquire items at auction. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property and for paying all shipping costs, customs and duties on the items. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon.
