Fine Smith & Wesson K-22 Outdoorsman Double Action Revolver
Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 741)
Smith & Wesson K-22 Pre-Model 17 Double Action Revolver
Lot # 2 (Sale Order: 2 of 741)
serial #K47332, 22 LR, 6” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely revolver retain about 99% original blue, the loss due to some very light muzzle wear and two very small spots atop the backstrap knuckle where something has removed the blue, and a light cylinder ring. The color case-hardening on both hammer and trigger remains vibrant. The checkered walnut Magna style grips rate excellent with a couple tiny dings here and there, they are un-numbered but their fit is precise. Features a black Patridge style front and square u-notch rear, the gun times and locks up properly. The arm rides in its original gold two-piece box with blue print, grease pencil-numbered to the gun on its bottom, included within is an aluminum cleaning rod, bore brush, bore mop (oddly it is too large a size), an aluminum handled blued steel screwdriver and a white warranty card and caution warning. The box itself rates about very good with some scuffing, scratches and remnants of tape but it remains intact. A very handsome post-war K 22 which could still be enjoyed at the range while improving in value as the years pass. (3A10574-109) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Rare P.W. Porter Percussion Turret Rifle
Lot # 14 (Sale Order: 14 of 741)
serial #250, About .52 cal., 24” octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore. While Flayderman’s mentions these are .44 caliber, the barrel is clearly .52 caliber on this example, surmised by some that the larger calibers may have been trials rifles, the barrel is indeed marked near the breech “Address/PW Porter/New York” with the Porters patent information ahead of the marking, it is pinned to the frame with a single vertical pin. The hinged loading cover is numbered “250” while the frame is numbered “50”, and the circular rotational charging turret is numbered “25”, clearly all supposed to be “250”. The metal surfaces are an overall soft brown patina, with oxidation staining and scattered spots of light pitting, a few minor impact marks here and there from the years; the lever shows more heavy pitting than moderate. The mechanism seems to function as-designed, including the rotary percussion cap feed beneath the sheet metal door. The loading gate catch is likely an antique replacement yet it functions very well. The straight grip American walnut stock rates about very good as refinished years ago with a number of repaired cracks at the junction of stock and frame, with some synthetic wood in the area of the buttplate and the point of comb; it mounts to the frame slightly loose. Internally there may be one or two replaced parts but externally the gun has a wonderful authentic antique appearance. A nice example for the collector of scarce American arms curiosa.
