Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Pistol Belonging to Daniel J. Leary of Waterbury Connecticut

Lot #1 (Sale Order 1 of 1100)

serial #400240, 25 ACP, 2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a lovely little and somewhat storied pistol. The metal surfaces retain about 98% to near 99% original blue, showing just the tiniest bit of sharp edge wear near the muzzle on the slide. Trigger, grip safety and manual safety show all their original vibrant color case-hardening. The pistol features factory mother-of-pearl grips, the right precisely engraved in block letters "D.J.Leary". The pistol includes a very nice two tone magazine and comes in its original purple-tone box, numbered to the gun on its bottom, in black grease pencil. Included is a small boar bristle cleaning brush and onion skin wrapping on the interior. The box itself rates very good with minor scuffing along the periphery of the edges of the lid and a very good end label, with surcharge label which reads "pearl blue". Daniel J Leary was the Comptroller of Waterbury Connecticut from 1931-1937. In 1938 a grand jury returned indictments against 26 officials in Waterbury Connecticut including the Waterbury Mayor and Lieut. Gov. of the State of Connecticut Frank Hayes, along with others, including his Comptroller Daniel J Leary, citing corruption and defrauding of the City of Waterbury to the tune of $1,000,000. Eighteen of those were convicted, Leary was sentenced to 10-15 years and subsequently disappeared while on bond, the city levying a $600,000 lien against his assets, he would stay "on the lam" after having assumed another identity for five years, eventually he was caught in Chicago when recognized by a former Waterbury resident who pointed him out as a fugitive to a beat cop walking the street. The pistol was consigned by a long-time Connecticut gun dealer who obtained it from a "family friend" who received the pistol after Leary "disappeared". After his release, Leary would remain a prominent Waterbury citizen and continue running the soft drink company he had owned and directed to prior to his stint as City Comptroller. Overall an absolutely fabulous pistol in its own right, all the more interesting by its ownership from this prominent, and one may argue notorious, Waterbury resident. (38211-23) {C&R}

serial #458661, 22 LR, 6" barrel with a bright excellent, likely unfired, bore. The metal surfaces retain 99% plus original blue, the loss is due primarily to some very light wear on the right side of the barrel at the muzzle and the very beginnings of an extremely faint cylinder turn ring, with a couple spots of the very lightest surface oxidation here or there which would not even warrant mention were the balance of this arm not in such exceptionally fine condition. The hammer and trigger retain all their original color case-hardening. The checkered walnut extended target grips rate excellent and are unblemished, they are pencil-numbered to the gun.

serial #236349, 270 Win, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore.

The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock rates very good to very good plus with only minor dings and handling marks from use afield, most prominently again below the bolt knob where Mr. Waters must have worn a ring on his index finger or perhaps has been scratched by fingernails. The rifle retains its original open sights including the front hood (the front sight is a Lyman gold bead rather than the more oft-seen Winchester silver bead) and the receiver rings show some very light scope base markings. Overall a very honest, very classic, still very usable Model 70 Super Grade, shipped in 1952, no doubt the primary hunting gun of Mr. Waters. (38218-28) {C&R} [Ken Waters Collection]

Lot #11 (Sale Order 11 of 1100)

serial #240130, 20 ga. on No. 0 frame, 28" barrels choked improved cylinder and tight modified with bright excellent bores. This is a lovely transition gun made in Meriden under the then-brand new, Remington management (barrel code indicating January 1937 manufacture). The barrels on this lovely shotgun retain about 98% plus original blue, the loss is due primarily to just some very light fading and very sparsely scattered very light handling marks here or there from the years. The "0" frame retains 98 to near 99% vivid original color case-hardening showing only the very slightest wear, with a very tiny amount of surface oxidation on the belly of the frame, were the gun not in such lovely condition it would not even bear mention. The triggerguard retains all its original blue and the triggers show only light wear. The checkered capped pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend rate excellent with all their original varnish and sparsely scattered minor dings and handling marks from the years. The length of pull to the original checkered hard rubber dog's head buttplate is 14" with drops of 1 1/2" and 2 5/8".

The rifle has a replacement gold bead front sight atop the ramp with a Lyman 48 receiver sight affixed at the rear receiver ring, the stock being neatly inletted for it. The rear sight boss on the barrel currently holds a steel target block and the rear receiver ring has been professionally drilled and tapped for a scope base. A couple of the screw slots show some light damage and there are circumferential scratches around each of the screw holes in the bottom metal, they certainly could be toned down with some applied blue if one wished. Overall a very nice Winchester 54 in the desirable 22 Hornet chambering. (38218-60) {C&R} [Ken Waters Collection]

Custom Remington Hepburn Offhand Sporting and Target Rifle by David Crossno

Lot #14 (Sale Order 14 of 1100)

serial #009, 22 LR, 28" medium weight octagon Green Mountain barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is an absolutely lovely and very stunning rifle, likely one of the last of that David Crossno worked on, at a cost of a just around $4000 to the man who contracted the rifle. The barrel retains about 99% top-quality rust blue with a bright-polished muzzle face with an 11° target crown. The frame, triggerguard and forend nosecap retain a similar amount of vivid original color case-hardening, toning a bit on the thumb piece of the lever and on the frame near it. Breechblock, hammer, triggers and all screws show lovely pale brilliant nitre blue; there are some very very light scuffs around a couple of the screw holes but they are very unobtrusive and missed at first glance. The rifle is stocked in exhibition grade American black walnut with a flared left-side cheekpiece and flawlessly executed borderless checkered panels at both pistolgrip and on forend; the stocks rating excellent to as-new. The rifle is sighted with a quality globe front sight with spirit level (the inserts are not present) and a nice-quality medium range vernier rear sight which is adjustable for both windage and elevation, with a five-position aperture. The length of pull to the solid 1" Olde English rifle pad is 14 1/2" to the front trigger. The arm is equipped with double set triggers which seem to function properly. Sadly David Crossno left this great rifleman's fraternity in November of last year, so no more of his fine, high-quality rifles will be had. A very seldom-encountered opportunity to own one of these excellent, modern Remington Hepburn rifles built by this master craftsman. (38221-1) {MODERN}

Winchester Pre '64 Model 70 Alaskan Bolt Action Rifle in Original Factory Box

Lot #15 (Sale Order 15 of 1100)

serial #454307, 338 Win mag, 25" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely rifle retain about 98 to near 99% original blue, the loss is due to a few sparse very light handling marks here or there with a bit of edge wear and the knob toning slightly; there is light evidence of scope bases having been mounted on the receiver rings. The bolt body remains bright with a bit of hardened oil and there is a light rub mark on the handle, likely from contact with a scope, it is appropriately numbered to the gun. The checkered walnut pistolgrip Monte Carlo buttstock rates excellent, again showing only a few minor handling marks, most prominent in the area beneath the bolt handle, likely from fingernails or a ring. The factory lightning bolt "Winchester" recoil pad is intact and the rifle is very honest overall. The original silver bead front sight is in place as is the folding leaf rear sight; the front sight hood is present and shows a few minor scratches. The original hangtag is present on the triggerguard of the gun showing a few creases and folds with a bit of ingrained soiling, the string toning from the years to a pinkish-tone. Also included is the original factory box, numbered to the gun on the end label. The box rates excellent with a crisp end label and all the original interior cardboard separators intact, as well as the original onion skin wrapping, the "Winchester-Western Division of Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation" bolt tag, serial numbered to the gun; the original three tape wraps are intact at the rear of the box lid, the tape only been having cut along its front edge (giving the box top a "hinged" type of effect). It is likely this rifle was shipped to Mr. Waters for evaluation, this example having shipped in 1959, the first year the "Alaskan" was available. A lovely rifle overall that looks like it came right out of the box yesterday, but for the few very minor handling marks, from the collection of this famous writer-cartridge developer.

serial #136701, 22 LR, 4" barrel with a bright excellent, likely unfired, bore.

The gun comes in an original purple-tone one piece box with hinged lid along with Colt "Special Instructions" pamphlet, it rates very good plus with a separation on the lid's right end piece; there is no end label present and no numbering on the bottom of the box. The face of the slide shows much original blue, the barrels breech and feed ramp are immaculate and the gun shows no evidence of being fired since leaving Hartford in 1940. Really a super little Sport Model Woodsman overall. (38211-28) {C&R}

Rare Nickel Smith & Wesson Model No. 1 1/2 First Issue Revolver

Lot #18 (Sale Order 18 of 1100)

serial #4969, .32 RF, 3 1/2" ribbed octagon barrel with a very good plus bore which is mostly bright with very sharp rifling and scattered very light pitting or oxidation. The metal surfaces on this rare full-nickel revolver retain about 97 to perhaps 98% original nickel. There is some light flaking near the muzzle and at the underside of the barrel with some very light loss on the sharp edges of the cylinder, the frame with some very light oxidation at the rear of the butt (there is a small pit in this area as well). There are the few minor handling marks here and there with a number of scratches around the sideplate screw; they are very forgivable given the very fine condition of the balance of this arm. The smooth rosewood grips rate very good plus with nearly all their original varnish, showing only light wear along the sharp edges at the butt, with flaking on the underside. All of the assembly numbers are matching and the gun seems to function fairly well mechanically with a slight bit of over-timing, however the barrel-to-frame fit is rather tight with the tiniest amount of vertical play perceivable. The included factory letter verifies the configuration, although no finishes are listed in the entire 150 gun shipment, and suggests it was shipped from the factory in September 1865 to JW Storrs in New York. The letter mentions that it is not uncommon for finishes to be left out of the factory records, this arm appears original in every respect showing that nice antique nickel hue that comes from the years. (38221-8) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #19 (Sale Order 19 of 1100)

The barrel on this early two-pin frame revolver is an even mix of flaked brown, pewter gray patina and some strong trace original blue, also showing minor oxidation and some light pitting along the right barrel flat. The cylinder is a very pleasing mix of flaked plum, fading speckles of original blue and some toning to pewter where it laid on the cylinder through the years. The frame retains some strong original blue, perhaps 60% remaining which is quite bright in areas, others flaked to a smooth plum tone and wear to pewter on the sharp edges; the hammer shows some trace case colors in the protected areas especially along the spine. The smooth rosewood grips rate about very good showing much original varnish with even flaking, more prominent on the left grip with a few impact marks along the butt, they are stamp-numbered to the gun. The assembly numbers are all matching, barrel-to-frame fit is very good and the gun functions very well mechanically. No doubt private-purchased for Civil War use, the included factory letter shows shipment to arms dealers Cooper & Pond in New York City, the letter suggesting shipment in October 1861. Overall a fine example in very good mechanical condition that no doubt saw service in the American Civil War. (38221-2) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 1100)

serial #1757096, 45 ACP, 5" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this government arsenal-refurbished pistol retain 100% dark gray-green parkerizing, they have an overall coating of light, moderate, and in some cases heavy, cosmoline.

There is one magazine included in the gun and two additional seven round blued magazines, one with remnants of cosmoline and green wax paper wrap adhered to it, the other still as-wrapped from the arsenal; there is included a boar bristle bore brush as well. The function of the arm cannot be determined as the cosmoline has hardened with age and precludes movement of the slide and interior parts; there is no doubt the gun is as-new as arsenal refinished before being stored for the "next war". A prisitine example of a government arsenal refurbished 1911A1 Remington Rand pistol. (38211-26) {C&R}

The metal surfaces on this handsome 1911A1 pistol retain about 97-98% original parkerizing, the loss is due primarily to some very light sharp edge and contact point wear with loss along the lower leading edges of the frame's dust cover and along the lower leading edges of the slide.

The brown plastic Keyes Fibre Co. grips rate excellent and there is a single Little Manufacturing seven round blued magazine included which shows just the tiniest bit of oxidation on its floorplate.

The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate very good plus with 80% plus original finish remaining and with normal handling marks and bruises from the years. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman ivory bead hunting front sight, standard open rear and a period added Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight; whether the holes are factory cut or period added is unknown, they are neat and clean. This is a very clean rifle with an extraordinary bore and is chambered in the ever popular 45-70. A wonderful Rolling Block sporting rifle. (18294-3) {ANTIQUE}

The barrel and bands have toned to a dull tarnished pewter patina with scattered light pitting, with one area which is more moderate between the two rear-most bands, perhaps from blood pitting.

Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Rifle

Lot #39 (Sale Order 39 of 1100)

serial #53840, .405 win, 24" round barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows the beginning of some very light frosting nearer the throat.

The rifle is sighted with a Lyman No. 4 ivory hunting front sight, rear sight seat is blanked, and the receiver is fitted with a Lyman No. 21 "climbin Lyman" receiver sight.

Colt Model 1855 Percussion Military Musket

Lot #40 (Sale Order 40 of 1100)

serial #1500, .56 cal, 31 1/4" barrel with a very good bore which shows sharp rifling its full-length but with scattered oxidation and light pitting. The barrel is an overall dull gray faded blue patina showing wear to pewter at the muzzle, clearly from bayonet use, scattered very light handling marks and pinprick pitting here and there. The bands have toned to gray as has the cylinder. The cylinder shows some length-wise tool marks within the flutes and overall light, and some moderate, pitting, the patent date is faintly visible. The frame is an overall dull pewter gray patina with scattered light pitting, also with dings and tool marks, the topstrap shows an antique period welded repair which was well done. The hammer is a rather gray case-hardened patina as is the triggerguard, which remains mostly smooth. All of the appropriate parts are matching-numbered and the gun seems to function somewhat loosely mechanically. The smooth walnut buttstock rates about very good with overall minor dings and handling marks from the years, now devoid of varnish. There is some moderate oxidation at the rear of the upper tang and at the toe with some minor chipping at toe and heel and a crack at the upper tang. The forearm is similar showing perhaps a bit less wear with a 2 1/2" crack at the left side of the lower forend at the cleaning rod channel showing some old glue. The "Colts Patent" date markings are slightly obscured by old impact marks and the number "13" has been stamped atop the tang. A steel cleaning rod extension with a bulbous threaded end is included in the trap of the butt. An overall very good "example" piece of the large caliber five-shot Colt Model 1855 Rifle Musket.

Extremely Rare Winchester Model 1892 Takedown Rifle with Factory Presentation and D-Grade Carving

Lot #41 (Sale Order 41 of 1100)

serial #276779, 44 WCF, 24" octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely and very honest special-order Winchester rifle remain in a lovely state of condition. The barrel and magazine tube retain about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due to light high edge wear, some even fading and extremely light surface flaking to brown on barrel and top and bottom of receiver. The receiver flats remain lovely with strong pale fire blue on the loading gate with the lever and hammer showing strong case colors, muting atop the hammer spur and on the radius of the lever face. The buttplate retains some very strong trace color case-hardening with muted fading and very minor oxidation. The deluxe walnut pistolgrip stock with hard rubber factory pistolgrip cap and fancy forend rate about excellent and are factory d-grade carved in oak leaf and acorn accents. The butt shows the minor handling marks and light drying cracks in the highly figured wood one would expect from the years, showing what may be high-gloss piano finish or more likely a bit of added finish over the years. The right side of the butt was factory inlaid with an engraved oval silver plaque which read: "Presented To/F James Reilly/Fourth Pres.by/the Tanawadeh Outing Club/1905" the inscription has been primarily removed, very neatly and carefully, by a skilled jeweler or gunsmith, the plate with some light polishing marks present. "Presented To" is all that remains of the factory inscription, if one wished to return the plate to the former factory inscription there are any number of excellent quality engravers who could do the job in very short order. The rifle is sighted with its original silver-bladed front sight and 22E Rocky Mountain rear. The included factory letter confirms the configuration as well as the original legend on the plate and shows a ship date of January 1905. There are subsequent returns for service in 1905, 1910 and 1911. Interestingly there are accounts of the presentation from the time period, in both The American Rifleman and Forest and Stream magazines from 1905. The inscription is mentioned in the articles, as well as the arms configuration and amusingly: "The rifle, which is a superb specimen of workmanship was constructed especially for the club by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.." (and it only had to go back for repair three times..!!). That bit of irony notwithstanding, this is a lovely special order model 1892 rifle, likely a one-of-a-kind special order arm with its factory inlaid and engraved presentation plaque. (38211-5) {C&R}

Exceptional Smith & Wesson K-22 First Model Outdoorsman Revolver

Lot #42 (Sale Order 42 of 1100)

serial #664183, 22 LR, 6" barrel with a bright excellent, likely unfired, bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely revolver retain about 99% original blue, the loss may be a tiny handling mark here or there but one must really look hard to locate them. Both hammer and trigger show vivid color case-hardening and there is the tiniest ghost of a turn ring on the cylinder which does not breech the blue. The checkered walnut pre-magna style grips with Silver Smith & Wesson medallions rate excellent and are stamp-numbered to the gun on their interior. The revolver features a silver call-bead front sight and a square-notch rear. Included with the gun is its original red and gold picture box, serial numbered to the gun on its underside on a small manila sticker, affixed to the box bottom. The box itself rates about excellent with very minor handling marks and fraying at the corners with "onionskin" tissue paper in the interior. Overall an absolutely lovely K-22 First Model Outdoorsman revolver that appears unfired in every respect since leaving Springfield Mass. many many years ago. It would be very difficult to find a better specimen. (38211-16) {C&R}

Custom U.S. Model 1903 "Sniper" Rifle with Warner & Swasey Telescopic Musket Sight

Lot #43 (Sale Order 43 of 1100)

serial #228638, 30-06, 24" 8-18 dated Rock Island Arsenal barrel with a bright excellent bore which shows some very light softening nearer the throat. The metal surfaces are an overall deep gray parkerized patina, the bolt body showing light operational wear with some minor impact marks on the knob. The bolt shroud and safety show some very good oil-quenched case-hardening. The bottom metal is a mix of blue and faded parkerizing with light dings and handling marks throughout. The straight-grip walnut stock and handguard rate about very good with overall minor dings, dents and handling marks from the years. The left side shows dual "AAJ" acceptance stampings (Springfield Armory 1918-20) within rectangular boxes as well as "AA/W" arsenal rebuild marking with a fading circled serifed "P" firing proof. The original open sights are intact and there is a nice stamped sheet-metal front sight protector present. The arm has been custom fitted at some later date with a Warner & Swasey Model 1908 Telescopic Musket Sight (serial #1221). The left side of the receiver has been neatly drilled and tapped for the base, the stock only very slightly inletted, and the sight mounted, its mounting rail reading on its interior surface "For Rifle No. 409722". The sight itself rates about very good with crisp markings and three purposefully-filed hashmarks on the left side of its top cover, no doubt during the period of use, to be certain the scope was returned to its rifle during field cleaning sessions. The black lacquer is likely a repaint and shows light crackling throughout with overall light flakes, dings and handling marks from the years. The optics are bright, clean and crisp, the adjustments rather stiff. The original rubber eyecup is included, it has hardened and degraded with the years and is now nearly flat from poor storage (there are replacement eyepieces available in commercial channels). There is a nickel oiler-thong kit in place beneath the butt trap. Overall a very attractive First World War "sniper" very neatly done, with a nice honest look. (38238-35) {C&R}

Early Colt Special Order .357 Magnum Revolver

Lot #44 (Sale Order 44 of 1100)

serial #9887,.357 Magnum, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely revolver retain 98 to perhaps near 99% original blue, the loss is due primarily to some very light muzzle and high edge wear, the cylinder showing the beginnings of a very light drag mark. The bright-polished sides of the special order wide spur target hammer remain brilliant with the tiniest bit of darkening on the right side of the spur. The checkered walnut Rampant Colt target style grips rate excellent and are pencil-numbered to the gun. The gun comes in its original wood-grain box with yellow and black end label with added surcharge which reads "Wide Spur/Hammer And/Target Stocks", only about one third of this surcharge label remains. Included in the box is the original onion skin wrapping, test target numbered to the gun, "Handling the Handgun" instruction manual and Colt warranty card. Perhaps shipped to Ken Waters for evaluation, the bottom of the box is numbered in black grease pen "9897", clearly a careless error by some factory worker. The gun seems to function well mechanically and feels very much as though it has either been factory tuned or has had an action job professionally done. Really a super 1957-shipped .357 Magnum in a lovely state of condition, that belonged to this famous cartridge developer and gun writer. (38218-38) {C&R} [Ken Waters Collection]

Rare Colt Officers Model Target Revolver in 32 Colt

Lot #45 (Sale Order 45 of 1100)

serial #640668, 6" heavy barrel with a bright excellent, possibly unfired, bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely third issue revolver retain about 99% original blue, there being the slightest hint of some muzzle wear and the very beginning of a tiny turn ring on the cylinder which does not breech the blue. The bright-polished sides of the hammer remain brilliant with perhaps some very small rust stains on the left side of the hammer. The checkered Rampant Colt service style grips rate about excellent, they are un-numbered but fit precisely. This lovely revolver has a very finely checkered trigger and Roper "self-locking" micrometer rear and front sights and appears very much un-used, un-fired since leaving Hartford in 1939.

Fine Colt 1911 Government Model Pistol Shipped to Colt Chairman of the Board Col. William Skinner

Lot #46 (Sale Order 46 of 1100)

serial #C47797, 45 ACP, 5" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to some light muzzle wear and a small bit of pitting on the left side of frame at the dust cover, it appears as though light surface oxidation was gently removed and a bit of touchup blue added here, the oxidation leaving the remaining pitting behind. There are a few minor handling marks scattered about the surface over the years, two notable dings on the frontstrap and a light reassembly scratch on the left side of the frame. This example is fitted with a long spur hammer, the sides of which have been polished and slightly longer spur grip safety. The face of the trigger has been very neatly stippled and it feels very much as though a trigger job has been done, no doubt during the period of use. The barrel is unmarked but is highly likely a Colt barrel given the shipping destination of this arm. A single blue two-tone magazine is included with an unmarked base rating excellent. The double diamond checkered walnut grips rate very good plus to excellent as well, they show light wear and perhaps a bit of added finish. The included factory letter shows shipment in June 1916 to Col. William C. Skinner, the chairman of the board of Colts Patent Firearms Company. It was a single gun shipment and is marked "For: J.C. Van Cleaf". John Van Cleaf was a prominent New York merchant and banker, being director of The National Park Bank, The Mutual Bank and The Union Dime Bank. Interestingly he was also a member of The Union League Club, where William C. Skinner was also a member, likely how the two knew one another, and explaining the gift of a new Colts Government Model pistol from one man to the other. Overall a very nice pistol with a very interesting shipping destination, given from one of Hartford's bluebloods to one of New York's. (38294-9) {C&R}

Smith & Wesson K-38 Target Masterpiece Hand Ejector Revolver

Lot #47 (Sale Order 47 of 1100)

Description Update (5/31/17): C&R

serial #K312546, 38 Special, 4" heavy barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely 1957 made revolver's most notable feature is the 4" heavy barrel with the barrel writing properly centered. It also features a Baughman ramp front sight, target trigger and target sights. According the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Supica and Nahas there was a shipment of revolvers to the Kansas City, Kansas PD in 1957 made in this configuration but further research indicates this gun is not a KPD gun. It's likely this could have been a private purchase or an overrun that was sold off by the company. This gun retains about 99% factory blue with minor handling marks and turn ring on the cylinder. The .500" target hammer and .500" target trigger retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The revolver has un-numbered diamond checkered walnut grips that rate excellent with a few minor handling marks. This gun appears to have seen little use over the years. A rare configuration in the early hand ejectors. (86520-2939) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

U.S. Navy Model 1909 Revolver by Colt

Lot #48 (Sale Order 48 of 1100)

serial #52313, 45 Colt, 5 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore. This 1909 is in great condition and remains mechanically functional. The metal surfaces retain about 90% factory blue with the grip frame starting to thin, oxidation blemishes, pitting, high edge wear, scattered scratches and a few scattered small dings. The fire blue on the trigger and hammer is very strong with only light operational wear. The smooth walnut factory grips rate good plus with scattered light dents, dings and scratches. The right panel is stamped "UTAH" in 1/4" high letters. The grips are numbered 52318 and this could be a simple factory error or they were swapped around a long time ago in some distant Navy Yard. The cylinder latch is correctly numbered to the gun. The rack number on the butt is crisp but the other markings are soft due to oxidation and pitting. The Rampant Colt with stylized "C" remains crisp as do the other factory markings. There are no factory refurbish marks on the firearm but there is a rework number on the cylinder under the extractor. It cannot be verified that this revolver served on the USS Utah but is highly probable as this Florida class dreadnought battleship was laid in 1909 and commissioned in 1911, the year this gun was made. The Navy only purchased 1,000 Model 1909s making fine condition survivors scarce. Overall, a very nice example of the U.S. Navy Model 1909. (86520-448) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

The metal surfaces of this early production but seldom seen variation of the model 1903 retain about 85% factory blue with the grip frame toning to a mix of pewter and purple, light to moderate high edge wear, a few light oxidation blemishes and scratches. The standard hammer and smooth trigger retain bold case-hardened colors with minor operational wear. The diamond checkered hard rubber round butt grips with S&W logo rate about excellent with a few light handling marks. All appropriate parts except the grips are correctly numbered to the gun, and it still times and locks up correctly. The revolver features a black blade factory adjustable rear sight and pinned Patridge factory front sight. This rare find has some honest but light wear and remains a fantastic find for the dedicated Smith & Wesson Collector. (86520-1014) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

The barrel retains about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, also with scattered very light oxidation staining over most of its length. The barrel band is a mottled case-hardened patina with the receiver and breech block showing some generous color case-hardening, also with the same sparse smattering of extremely light surface oxidation. The lockplate and hammer are mottled dull case-hardened patina, the hammer toning more to a very lightly oxidized brown, especially on the spur; there are generous traces of colors on the lockplate beneath the hammer. The engraving and markings remain quite crisp, the guard and buttplate primarily a dull gray-brown. This is a type II arm with the detachable checkered walnut pistolgrip, the stock assembly itself rating very good plus to perhaps near excellent with much original varnish and the expected minor handling marks and dings that come from a hunted arm. There is actually some very nice grain figure in the area of the butt primarily on the right side. The German silver forend tip is the correct type II style and is nicely engraved and the original oak cleaning rod with plated ferrule and wiping loop ends is present. The buttplate is properly "U.S." marked and there is a serifed P firing proof at the rear of the checkering pattern along the toeline; the only other marking on the stock is a neatly stamped number "97" just to the rear of the upper tang. The rifle is correctly sighted with a Beach combination front sight, rifle-graduated model 1879 buckhorn rear sight and a flip-up, very early Lyman No. 1 aperture sight neatly inletted at the rear of the upper tang. The inletting of the sight is extremely neatly done and was done during the period of use, the checkering neatly wrapping around the inletting. It is most likely that the original mid-long range vernier sight was removed in deference to the shorter more compact hunting sight (or the sight could very well be original equipment, it is indeed a No 1 with January 28, 1879 patent date and is mounted on the first variation old-style base). The lock is crisp and mechanically functional and the set triger function functions properly. Overall a very nice and very honest example of a Second Type Model 1875 Officers Model trapdoor rifle.

U.S. M1A1 Carbine by Inland Division

Lot #51 (Sale Order 51 of 1100)

serial #65059, 30 carbine, 18" Marlin barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces are an overall dark gray-green fading parkerized finish, roughly 90% remaining overall with the bulk of the loss on barrel and operating surfaces of bolt. The stock is correct and original and properly ordnance bomb and "IO" stamped (both on bottom of pistolgrip and on interior of stock) with a good circled "P" firing proof at its rear face. The outer surfaces of the buttstock and cheekpiece support have toned to a light brown patina and the leather cheekpiece itself remains in very good condition with light verdigree around the rivets; the buttplate shows the appropriate part number and mold markings. The stock itself rates about very good with the expected minor handling marks and dings from a field-issued arm, the left side of the body showing the normal impact marks that come from contact with the buttplate. The bulk of the parts are properly Inland Division or Inland contractor marked with the exception of the Underwood bolt, post-war High Standard M2-slide and National Postal Meter trigger housing. Although there are no post-war rebuild marks, the rifle has been fitted with bayonet lug, adjustable rear sight and rotating safety, possibly done at a smaller depot or field maintenance station. There is an OI B-marked magazine present and an original green canvas leather sling and U.S.-marked Shane Manufacturing Company 1944-dated green canvas carry case are included. The case rates about very good with a few areas becoming unstitched. Overall a very nice and correct U.S. M1A1 Inland Division carbine. (38211-14) {C&R}

U.S. Springfield Model 1922MII Target Rifle

Lot #52 (Sale Order 52 of 1100)

serial #20245B, 22 LR, 24" 9-31 dated Springfield Armory barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barreled action on this "NRA sales" rifle retains about 98% arsenal rust-blue, the loss due to some even fading, sharp edge wear and the sparsely scattered very minor handling mark here or there from the years. There are a few impact marks, very lightly scattered, here or there and the receiver race has been neatly honed bright by the Armory. The bottom metal shows perhaps a bit more wear retaining about 95% original blue with a few more scratches and handling marks; the screw slots showing some minor damage. The "NS" bolt body remains mostly bright with some minor operational marks and remnants of some extremely light oxidation staining, cocking piece and safety with very good oil-quenched case-hardening. The smooth walnut "sales"-style stock rates about excellent with only minor dings and handling marks sparsely scattered. The cupped checkered steel buttplate retains excellent original blue with only some light handling marks, sling swivels are intact and one original magazine is included. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman globe style front sight and Lyman 48 receiver sight, both barrel and receiver ring are arsenal drilled and tapped for steel target blocks which are included. This rifle features the "M1922MI" receiver marking with the addition of an arsenal-added "I" to the end of the roll mark when the rifle was converted to MII specs. The rifle includes a letter to Mr. Thomas C. Florich on "War Department" stationery acknowledging the order for the arm, a letter on "Springfield Armory" stationary acknowledging an order for small parts for the 1922 rifle, the original Springfield Armory shipping ticket and packing lists are included, listing the arm by serial number, along with other parts for a 1903 rifle, another piece of correspondence with a notation "select rifle with target having a good grouping" and finally the original target, pencil-numbered to the gun showing a pretty darn good grouping (with Remington Kleanbore). (Florich was an accomplished shooter, an author and a contemporary and close friend of Phillip B. Sharpe, they actually referring to each other in personal correspondence as "Shadrach" and "Abednego). Really an extremely attractive example in a very very nice state of preservation with an extremely nice complement of original Arsenal and Armory documentation, that likely shoots as good as it looks.

U.S. Model 1819 Hall Breech-Loading Flintlock Rifle

Lot #53 (Sale Order 53 of 1100)

.52 cal, 32 5/8" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this rather nice second production Hall rifle are primarily a pewter gunmetal gray patina, now showing remnants of a red-brown enamel, likely applied many years ago to try and replicate the very nice browning that these rifles once had. The breechblock remains rather nice and is a mottled gray case-hardened patina showing some strong remnants of colors in the protected areas, the combustion chamber very clean with hardened grease; it is marked "JH Hall/H Ferry/U.S./1838". The stock rates very good to very good plus with crisp edges and nice unmolested raised grain with only a few minor dings and handling marks here and there. It seems to have an honest coating of grime from the years which has obscured its color, the forestock being a nice rich red-russet; there are no remnants of any cartouches visible. The action is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. A very clean example overall that would be much improved were it disassembled and the paint professionally removed. (38238-25) {ANTIQUE}

There is a very good left-side 1889 cartouche and a prominent circled serifed P firing proof. Lock is three-click with firing pin of steel and the original swivels and cleaning rod are in place. This is an absolutely lovely rifle and very much appears to be un-fired, it appears to have been handled more than anything else. A lovely 1884 from-which it would be difficult to upgrade.

Lot #65 (Sale Order 65 of 1100)

The lock is appropriately eaglehead and "U.S." marked along with the Harpers Ferry marking, it is dated 1807. The lock shows some minor pinprick pitting but all its attendant parts are a similar brownish patina; the arm appears an excellent-quality reconversion to flint using appropriate parts. All the brass furniture has tarnished to a pleasing dull goldenrod-ochre patina. The stock rates very good as lightly cleaned many years ago, showing a very well-done repair to numerous cracks through the wrist, the straps and triggerguard show no remnants of any damage, so it is likely these were merely drying cracks that were bolstered, there is an area 3" by 3/8" up the backstrap, of synthetic material that was used to strengthen the wrist. There is a small repair at the rear of the lock but the lock seems to function properly, there is a later replacement wooden ramrod in place. According to Harpers Ferry Arsenal by Hudak, this is a "known" pistol ansd has been listed on three different lists of guns since 1925 including Wagner, Smith and Petersen. Overall a very good "example" piece for the budding U.S. martial collector that is very attractive in appearance. (38238-6) {ANTIQUE}

The back action lock is a mixture of pewter and mottled blue-gray case hardening with very good case-hardening on the hammer's flat. The crescent buttplate, toeplate and dual spur triggerguard are primarily a mottled dark gray and speckled brown patina with the bow of the guard showing some very light pitting. The checkered straight grip walnut pistolgrip buttstock with flared left side shadowline cheekpiece rates very good with the expected minor dings and handling marks that come from the years, with a few minor impact marks within the checkering. The rifle is sighted with a very nice unmarked full-length telescopic sight. The sight itself is an overall deep gray and plum patina with scattered spots of minor oxidation, it features a crosshair reticle and slightly cloudy optics. The rear mount provides elevation and is threaded into the tang while the front is windage adjustable featuring a nice arrow front extension which corresponds to grid line hashmarks atop the barrel flat; there is no provision for open sights of any kind. The barrel frame, barrel, lower tang, false muzzle and starter are all stamped with the numeral "2" and there is a very nice steel bench rest affixed to the underside of the barrel near the muzzle. The rifle is equipped with double set triggers and the back-action lock is dual-acting.

There is a nice turned horn and mahogany oil bottle included and there is an assortment of cast projectiles as well. Edwin Phillips was active in New York City from about 1854-1864, it is highly likely this rifle would have seen use as a sharpshooters arm during the American Civil War. He was known for very well-made guns, near identical guns are pictured in The New York State Firearms Trade

There is no longer any evidence of a left-side cartouche however the belt hook is intact. The lock is crisp and mechanically functional and what appears to be an original ramrod with iron cleaning loop at the off end is present. A very good example piece overall, nicely re-converted, for the budding martial collector. (38238-5) {ANTIQUE}

The arm appears to be an excellent quality reconversion to flint, the cleaning has left some of the barrel markings slightly light. The stock rates about very good with the overall expected minor dings and handling marks from the years also showing a number of drying cracks and some highly figured wood in the area of the pistolgrip's wrist. The lock is mechanically functional although the hammer spring is slightly weak, the brass front sight blade is only partially present and what is likely the original captivated ramrod is present as is the left-side belt hook. Overall a very good example piece of a nicely re-converted model 1826 flintlock Navy pistol. (38238-3) {ANTIQUE}

serial #2778775, 30-06, 24" 3-44 dated Springfield Armory barrel with a very good plus bore that shows light frosting near muzzle.

According to the standard reference sources the stamped triggerguard and "-7 SA" hammer were used for guns starting in the 3 million serial number range but all other major parts such as the single slot gas screw, "-9 SA" uncut operating rod and Type II lockbar rear sights are correct for an unaltered WWII-issued rifle. A very fine World War Two Garand that appears to be mostly original and untampered with. (208211-6) {C&R}

Rare U.S. Model 1911A1 Remington Rand "Demonstrator Pistol"

Lot #71 (Sale Order 71 of 1100)

serial #115, 45 ACP, 5" High Standard barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98% plus original gray parkerizing with scattered extremely light handling marks here and there and some very light high edge wear. The brown plastic Keyes Fibre Co. grips rate excellent. Included is a single Scovill Manufacturing seven-round magazine. Approximately 145 of these "demonstrator pistols" as Remington Rand called them were produced by the firm, sometime after mid-1943, primarily for internal use and to show employees what the finished product should look like and to emphasize the importance of each step in production of the pistol; indeed this example shows some interesting anomalies in the slide serration cuts. These pistols featured serial numbers which were hand-stamped after finish, as on this example, and as they were never accepted by the government, have no government inspectors markings and no U.S. property markings. Post-war most of the demonstrator and experimental pistols were presented to officials and employees of the company. Overall this is a very rare chance for the 1911 collector to acquire a very seldom-encountered and very rare Remington Rand demonstrator pistol. (38211-36) {C&R}

The walnut stock rates very good plus as lightly-cleaned with a crisp circled P firing proof, a crisp "open box" Springfield Armory rebuild stamp, a few dings and handling marks.

The scope tube shows an enamel finish that has faded to a dull brown patina, the optics are clear and the scope has a fine crosshair reticle. The gun falls into the correct M1C/MC-52 serial number range, and the rifle was owned by the Marine Colonel Howland G. Taft and consigned by his family, but there is no documentation to definitely prove that this rifle is an authentic Marine Corps 1952 sniper rifle. This rifle includes a two-piece cleaning rod, combo tool, canvas GI sling, lens covers, a Hart M2 flash hider and what appears to be an original brown leather cheekpiece that is marked "MRT/1-52" and it has a few broken ties and some staining. An interesting Garand that will make a great addition to any military collection. (208238-45) {C&R}

Lot #76 (Sale Order 76 of 1100)

serial #111677, 22 LR, 30" octagon No. 3 weight barrel with an excellent bore.

The lower left side of the tang is marked with assembly number "10093 R", this same number is stamped in the top tang inlet of stock. The stock has clearly always had a shotgun butt however beneath the plate one can see the original holes neatly filled and the new holes for this buttplate drilled. This looks very old we feel that the rifle may have originally been equipped with a steel shotgun butt and perhaps was changed to a checkered hard rubber shotgun butt. The present buttplate fits very nicely. The condition of the rifle is very nice with the barrel retaining 97% original blue finish with some scattered very light abrasions and an impact mark or two but the barrel is generally quite excellent. The action retains about 95% original blue with the loss due to some even light flaking and with the majority of the loss being on the top left side of action where there are a couple patches of more concentrated flaking where metal is smooth with a dull gray patina. The hammer and lever both retain lots of faded original color case-hardened finish overall. The checkered pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate very good plus to near excellent with 95% original finish remaining and with a fair number of light scattered handling marks present. The barrel shows all markings on top left flat rather than the top flat and both front and rear sight slots are filled with blanks and a pair of target blocks are in place. No markings are affected by the target blocks. The original Winchester palm rest rates excellent with most of its blue flaked and with exposed metal showing a pleasing smooth brown patina. This is a very handsome special order High Wall rifle. (17966-23) {C&R}

Mexican Marked Model 1893 Bolt Action Rifle by Oviedo With_Capture Inscription

Description Update (5/31/17): Light pitting on floorplate and triggerguard

The metal surfaces of this 1911 dated rifle retain 95% original blue with some thinning fire blue on the bolt stop, a few spots of light pitting on triggerguard, a couple light pits on bolt, some minor thinning on front band and some oxidation spots on barrel, bandkeeper and floorplate.

All parts are matching including the cleaning rod and the stock is correctly dated 1911. The right side of the butt has the words "CAPTURED.IN.MEXICO./ APRIL.21.1914/R.F.ROBERSON" neatly stamped in 1" tall letters. Robert F. Roberson was a carpenter who served aboard the U.S.S. Florida which was one of the first U.S. ships in Veracruz harbor. At 11:30 hours on the morning of April 21, 502 Marines and 285 Armed Sailors from the Florida went ashore to capture important buildings and the rail yard, Roberson likely one of them. The date on the rifle, name, Mexican cartouches and style of arm all point to this rifle being a true bringback from an interesting and often forgotten period in American history. Even without the connection to the Veracruz occupation, Mexican marked Spanish Mauser rifles are hard to find especially in this high state of original condition. This rifle includes a correct Toledo arsenal made bayonet and scabbard with the bayonet being numbered to a different gun. The bayonet and metal parts of scabbard show scattered oxidation staining and freckling, while the leather shows scattered light to moderate flaking. A high condition example of a seldom seen Mauser rifle with ties to an interesting period in history. (208294-6) {C&R}

Rare Smith & Wesson Model 16-2 K-32 Masterpiece Single Action Only Revolver

Lot #94 (Sale Order 94 of 1100)

serial #K571468, 32 S&W Long, 6" pinned barrel with an excellent bore. This limited production model revolver is factory equipped with the seldom seen, and perhaps only example of, a single action only mechanism on a model 16. The metal surfaces of this 1964 made revolver retain about 95% factory blue with most of the loss to the butt along with scattered scratches, high edge wear and a turn ring. The butt sustained oxidation and pitting in the past and was non-factory repaired by buffing the metal to remove the majority of the corrosion, then cold blued and re-serial numbered by hand. The serial number matches the number placed on the frame under the crane by the factory. The .500" target hammer and .500" target trigger retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The un-numbered checkered goncalo alves factory target grips with silver S&W medallions rate very good with light scattered scratches, scuffs, dings and flaking finish. The revolver is equipped with black blade micro adjustable factory rear sight and Patridge front sight. The K-32 was always in the shadows of the more popular models 14 & 17 resulting in only about 3630 being manufactured in a 27-year period. Factory records will indicate that this gun was shipped from the factory as a single action only in November 1964 to a Boston distributor for the whopping sum of $55.34. It is believed that this gun may be the only Model 16 shipped by the factory in this configuration. A rare configuration such as this gun is always a treasured find for the dedicated S&W collector.

Description Update (6/1/17): The rear base is drilled and tapped very slightly off-center

The cast iron rebated action has concave top flat and features wonderful factory engraving with game scenes on either side consisting of a deer in pasture with trees in background on left and a large tree with two squirrels on the right. The scroll work surrounding the scenes is more dense than typical and the engraving in general is of a higher grade than normally found on these rifles. The scroll carries onto the top ring of action including wonderful scroll throughout the concave top of action and also shows a deeply cut shell motif where serial number would normally be found. The buttstock is bold with a perchbelly and large checkered pistolgrip. The forend is of the same style and is equipped with a Pope type folding palm rest. Both stocks are oil finished and show crisp checkering and rate excellent plus. The rifle features factory double set adjustable triggers with full loop lever and large Swiss buttplate. The rifle is sighted with a windgauge front with spirit level and a mid-range Vernier tang sight with no rear seat present. The top of the barrel is neatly fitted with scope blocks and the bottom bears Niedner's date and serial number "12 / 1916 / 248". While in Malden, Niedner did all rifle work himself and he customized more single shot rifles than the repeaters he would become known for later in his life. Niedner developed custom rifles to shoot high speed 22 cartridges with jacketed bullets which would later become barred from competition because they gave the shooter an "unfair advantage". He built these rifles for himself as well as others including F.W. Mann and Dr. Baker among others. This is a very special and interesting rifle which likely has a rich history which may have been lost to the years. A wonderful custom Niedner Ballard rifle. (18085-12) {ANTIQUE}

Very Fine Winchester Model 1886 Lightweight Takedown Rifle

Lot #100 (Sale Order 100 of 1100)

serial #139430, 45-70, 22" round barrel with full magazine and a bright minty bore. This is a very crisp rifle which features a full magazine which is unusual on lightweight rifles. The barrel and magazine retain 95 - 97% strong original blue finish including the takedown collar which we typically find flaked to gray. The action retains 90% plus strong original blue with loss due to very light flaking and with these areas bearing a rich smooth brown patina; the gun looks like it has more finish. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate excellent with 95% original finish remaining. The buttstock wears a checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate which is slightly proud of the wood along the bottom edge. There is a small chip at the toe of the butt, really inconsequential. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman ivory bead hunting front sight mounted on small raised ramp and a standard sporting rear barrel sight. This is a fine, high condition lightweight 45-70 takedown 1886 rifle. Investment grade. (18294-2) {C&R}

Winchester Model 1886 Deluxe Lever Action Rifle

Lot #101 (Sale Order 101 of 1100)

serial #82654, 40-82 WCF, 26" octagon barrel with a bright very good plus bore which shows strong rifling but with sparsely scattered very light pitting here and there. The metal surfaces retain about 98% excellent quality later restored blue. The quality of the polish is top-notch and both the receiver ring above the chamber and the left diagonal barrel flat show Winchester factory proofs, likely signifying this arm was refinished at the factory post-1905 (the rifle having been manufactured in 1892). The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and checkered forend rate very good to very good plus showing only minor dings and handling marks from the years, the finish appearing unmolested, showing nice age crackling in areas with some light oil soaking where the buttstock meets the receiver; there are some minor flakes and chipping at the rear lower edge of the forend but they are unobtrusive. The lower tang is interestingly numbered "133" which has been X-ed out, as well as "879X", no doubt signifying the grade of wood, this stamping also is X-ed out and the number "880" is stamped at the front of the tang. The number "879" however is indeed factory-stamped in the upper tang inletting of the buttstock and at the inside toe of the buttplate, "880" was likely an additional assembly number put on the gun when it came back to the factory for its post-1905 service, the tang is clearly original to the gun as its fit and polish is perfect. The rifle is sighted with a Marbles Sheard style brass front bead and what is likely the original Winchester sporting rear sight; the elevation blade within the sight has been replaced with a very interesting aperture style from the period of use. There are two very neat drilled and tapped holes on the left receiver flat which once anchored a "Climbin' Lyman" receiver sight. Overall a very handsome rifle, which for this writer's money, was refinished at the factory. (38218-62) {ANTIQUE} [Ken Waters Collection]

Savage Model 1899 Factory Engraved Leader Grade Takedown Lever Action Rifle

Lot #102 (Sale Order 102 of 1100)

serial #129144, 303 Savage, 20" barrel with a bright about excellent bore with sharp rifling but with the very beginnings of some very light frosting nearer the muzzle. The barrel of this featherweight 1899-H retains about 92% original blue, the loss due primarily to light wear and even fading, with a few scratches and handling marks here and there, the left and right side of barrel near the breech with some prominent tool marks. The receiver is now a dull pewter gunmetal gray, likely having been cleaned at some point with light steel wool. It shows some very sparse remnants of some light oxidation staining but the leader-grade engraving is crisp left and right. The top surface of the bolt has been very neatly recessed and matted and the lever shows some strong color case-hardening on its left side, the balance a mottled smoky case-hardened patina. The CD style buttstock and forend are English walnut and rate very good as refinished many years ago, reacquiring some minor dings and handling marks from the years. The buttstock has been fitted with a 1" Sorbothane KickEez recoil pad providing a 13 1/4" length of pull. The takedown feature seems to work well and the gun seems to function well mechanically. The rifle is sighted with a later Lyman ivory bead front sight, the sight base itself shows some very slight damage, there is a Lyman No. 6 dual folding leaf rear sight present and the factory holes on the tang mount a Lyman No. 1A tang sight. The included factory letter to Ken Waters confirms the engraving and recessed and matted bolt configuration and shows shipment in December 1912 to a David Abercrombie, highly likely David Thomas Abercrombie the founder and co-owner of Abercrombie & Fitch, who would have been 45 years of age in 1912. Abercrombie was a topographer and expert in the outdoors (he did extensive surveying for the Norfolk and Western Railroad) and opened his company as New York's oufitter for the elite outdoorsman and "sport" and would later partner with co-founder Ezra Fitch. Overall a very attractive and very seldom encountered Leader Grade that certainly could be brought back to its original glory by a talented stocker. (38218-61){MODERN}[Ken Waters Collection]

U.S. Model 1941 Johnson Automatic Rifle

Lot #103 (Sale Order 103 of 1100)

Description Update (5/31/17): Pinprick pitting along underside of barrel

serial #7216, 30-06, 23" Johnson Automatics barrel with a bright about excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 92% original gray-green parkerizing which is toning to plum brown in areas with wear to pewter along the left rear of the action and in the area of the manufacturers marking above the ejection port. The magazine box as well has toned to pewter at the natural carry point of the rifle along its base and there are scattered areas of hardened oil here and there. The walnut forend is a deep tobacco hue and rates about very good with the expected minor dings and handling marks from the years. The buttstock is similar, showing perhaps more wear and handling marks, especially at heel and toe and in the area directly behind the circular magazine box which shows multiple small chips and some synthetic wood filler. The original sights are intact and the mechanism seems to function properly, this example does not stay open when the magazine is empty. A number of the screws show some slot damage and the front triggerguard screw is clearly a replacement. Really a very good example overall which likely shoots very well with its nice bore. This rifle was from the collection of U.S.M.C. Col. Howland G. Taft and was consigned directly by the family. (38238-36) {C&R}

USMC Marked H&R MC-58 Reising Semi Auto Rifle

Lot #104 (Sale Order 104 of 1100)

serial #6405, 22 LR, 23" barrel with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain 75-80% original green parkerized finish with overall scattered freckling and some light oxidation on the rear sight. The walnut stock rates about excellent with a crisp DoD Eagle style cartouche on the underside of pistolgrip, a few light dings, minor scratches and handling marks. The receiver and barrel are marked "USMC PROPERTY", this rifle was owned by Marine Colonel Howland G. Taft and it was consigned by his family. These rifles were made to be similar in weight and feel to the M1 Garand and were used in training by the Marines. A single magazine is included and this is a very good example of a hard-to-find Marine training rifle. (208238-52) {C&R}

U.S. Model 1896 Krag Bolt Action Carbine by Springfield Armory

Lot #105 (Sale Order 105 of 1100)

serial #26846, 30-40 Krag, 22" barrel with a very good bore that shows some scattered light pitting and minor frosting but strong rifling. The barrel retains about 93% original blue with some light fading to brown and a few tiny dings, while the 1896 carbine rear sight and band retain 95% original fire blue with some minor fading. The magazine box, receiver and sideplate show a generous amount of their original oil quenched colors with the sideplate and receiver showing some moderate fading and some very faint oxidation stain specks. The buttplate retains perhaps 30% original fire blue with scattered thinning and light oxidation staining, while the extractor and triggerguard retain about 85% original fire blue with light fading to brown. The walnut stock rates excellent retaining most of its armory oil finish, showing a strong "JSA/1896" inspector's marking, a crisp circled "P" firing proof, a few light dings and handling marks. The carbine has the correct 1896 "C" marked rear sight, the correct saddle bar with ring, correct band but the front sight blade has a gold bead and is likely a later replacement but this would be easy to correct if one wished. A 3-piece cleaning rod is included with this carbine and this is an early carbine that is marked "1895" on the receiver making it a scarcer example. Many of these carbines were subjected to hard use on the frontier and during the Spanish American War, as a result many were lost or rearsenaled. This example is still in its original state and remains in much higher condition than commonly seen, making it great addition to any military arms collection. (208294-4) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver ID'd to J W West

Lot #106 (Sale Order 106 of 1100)

serial #142545, .36 cal, 7 1/2" octagon barrel with a good plus to very good bore which shows strong rifling, some areas of which are bright, but with pitting its full-length. The barrel is primarily a dull plum brown patina with pewter undertones and scattered light surface oxidation, with some areas of light pinprick pitting and impact marks on the barrel lug area near the wedge. The loading lever is a dark mottled smoky gray case-hardened patina with remnants of some very minor oxidation staining. The cylinder has toned primarily to a soft brown showing scattered minor oxidation and some spots of light pitting. The Naval cylinder scene is near fully visible and the hammer rest pins remain partially intact. The frame is a pleasing mix of mottled plum brown and smoky gray case-hardened patina with a few spots of light oxidation or very light pitting. The triggerguard and backstrap have toned to a dull goldenrod patina; an interesting factory anomaly is the left rear of triggerguard caliber marking reads "31 cal". The one piece walnut grip rates about very good showing much original varnish with some minor flaking and handling marks, especially along the sharp edges at the butt. The right side of the grip has been very neatly carved during the period of use "J.W. West" with the left side neatly carved "1864". The rear strap has been very neatly stamped with single character stamps "~J.W. West-1864 (star)", the bottom of the butt shows a very light incise scratching "JW West"; interestingly the left side root of the triggerguard is stamped "21", the numbers arranged vertically. All of the numbers on the gun are matching with the exception of the wedge which is an un-numbered, likely later replacement, and the interior of the grip is ink pen numbered to the gun. A few of the screw heads show some slot damage but the gun seems to function well mechanically. While there are good many "J West's" but fewer "JW West's", a quick check of 21st Cavalry Regiment rosters shows precious few (if we use the stamped "2/1" as a regimental number). A very interesting entry is in the Pennsylvania 21st Cavalry Regiment. A Mr. Jacob West enlisted February 3, 1864 at Chambersburg PA, he was a "veteran volunteer" and enlisted as a Quartermaster Sgt. , Co. D, 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry (this Colt left the factory about mid-1863). He was later mustered out July 8, 1865 at Lynchburg Virginia. It seems highly likely that a Quartermaster Sgt. would have access to neat steel stamps whilst afield and probably would have the spare time on his hands to do a bit of carving. Further research may indeed prove the true identity of this "JW West", although it would seem this fellow is a very good, and very likely, start. (Interestingly the SRS records show Colt serial #142505 as an 1851 Navy revolver issued to Co. D, 19th Pennsylvania Cavalry) (38221-7) {ANTIQUE}

Colt U.S. Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 1100)

serial #121621, .44 cal, 8" barrel with a mostly bright, very good bore which shows strong rifling but with scattered light oxidation and light pitting. The barrel is a mix of pewter gunmetal gray and plum brown oxidation with scattered pitting, more prominent at the muzzle and at the flash area of the breech with some minor impact marks on the lug near the wedge. The cylinder retains all of its naval scene and is primarily a similar gunmetal gray with interspersed light brown oxidation staining, also showing some pitting on the flash areas of its face; the hammer rest pins remain intact. The frame shows remnants of silvery speckled case-hardening, the balance a mottled gray-blue case-hardened patina with light oxidation staining. The trigger retains some very good original blue and the hammer shows smoky mottled color case-hardening, very strong along its spine. The triggerguard is a dull goldenrod patina while the butt shows strong trace original blue, perhaps 8-10% remaining. The one piece walnut grip rates very good with strong traces of original varnish and a prominent chip from the right leading edge. Both cartouches remain clearly legible and the left and right of the bottom of the butt have mirror images lightly incise-carved during the period of use either "HM" or "WH" (the mirror image being HW or MH); they are antique ink pen-numbered to the gun and there is a capital letter "W" stamped inside the grip recess adjacent to the marking. All of the numbers are matching including the wedge and there are numerous single-digit inspectors markings stamped about the surface of the revolver. The gun times well and locks up properly. A few of the screw slots show some light damage but overall a very respectable and attractive example which clearly saw Civil War usage. (38269-1) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 1100)

serial #18069, .36 cal, 7" octagon barrel with an about very good lightly oxidize bore which shows strong rifling with scattered light pitting. The metal surfaces are an overall dull gunmetal gray patina showing scattered oxidation and light pinprick pitting, some spots slightly more moderate. The hammer is a dark mottled case-hardened patina with some minor oxidation at the spur. The smooth walnut grips rate about very good, the right grip showing more dings and handling marks from the years, the left grip with a very good inspectors cartouche, they are pencil-numbered to the gun. Frame, barrel and cylinder are all matching numbered and the arm seems to function well mechanically. A very good example overall of these very interesting "dual-action" percussion Naval pistols.

Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver Belonging to Ken Waters

Lot #109 (Sale Order 109 of 1100)

serial #154065, .44 cal, 7 3/4" round barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows just some sparse light pinprick pitting. This is a storied revolver and one of the first arms ever acquired by Mr. Waters when he was a young man. The story goes that young Ken purchased a Colt 1860 Army revolver and brought it home and was not satisfied with its performance or power, it falling very short of its intended mark, a barn door some 80 yards distant. He returned to the dealer with his revolver and complained, the dealer in turn selling him this example, in a better state of repair, but of course for more money. Upon returning home he loaded the revolver and took aim at the "X" crossbuck on the garage-barn door from his upstairs bedroom window, clearly hitting the mark at the same 80 yards distant. After firing his revolver and being very satisfied with its accuracy and performance he cleaned it and put the gun away. Later Mr. Waters was confronted by his father who asked him if he had been shooting at the barn door, to wit the young Ken replied that he had, his father asking him to accompany him to the barn. At the barn, young Ken discovered that the family automobile was therein, now with a punctured gasoline tank, and ten gallons of raw gas leaked all over the floor. One can only guess at the aftermath, but we're certain it was not a particularly happy for young Ken. The metal surfaces retain about 98% of a later, good quality hot immersion blue with some very slight remnants of light pinprick pitting scattered sparsely beneath. The cylinder naval battle scene is crisp and there are remnants of the hammer rest pins intact at the rear of the cylinder. The triggerguard is now a dull goldenrod patina and the one piece walnut grip rates excellent and is a later, somewhat more hand-filling replacement which was very well made. All of the numbers are matching including the wedge and the gun seems to function well mechanically. Included with the arm is an unmarked regulation leather flap holster from the period of use. The body of the holster rates very good to very good plus and the seam stitching is intact around its periphery. The leather flap shows moderate flaking and drying with the closure billet modified by the addition of two extra holes, it also moderately flaked and crazed as well. The suspension loop on the rear is still intact and completely functional, the rivets appear to be of copper. A neat, likely shootable, 1860 Army belonging to one of the "gurus of gunning" with an interesting story to tell from his boyhood. (38218-56) {ANTIQUE}

Wonderful Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless Pistol Shipped to Tokyo Japan Pre-War

Lot #110 (Sale Order 110 of 1100)

serial #537511, 32 ACP, 3 3/4" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a stunning pistol. The metal surfaces retain about 98 to near 99% original blue, the only loss being some very light sharp edge wear, chiefly on the slide, with a very sparsely scattered very light handling mark here or there. The checkered walnut grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions rate excellent with sharp points. Included is a blued body "Cal 32/Colt" marked magazine, last variation with the high feed lips, rating very good plus with some very minor oxidation on the floorplate. The included factory letter shows shipment with 5000 other guns to the Kawaguchiya Firearms Company Limited, Tokyo Japan, in January 1939 purchased by the Yokohama Specie Bank Limited. It is known that the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Auto was a popular pistol with Japanese officers, as American quality was so very good, those who elected to private-purchase pistols often times chose the Colt. Kawaguchiya Firearms Company made Type 97 flare pistols among other things for the Japanese government during the war and certainly would have had supply channels to be able to disseminate these arms. Doubtless officers in the bank had a hand in the company itself and foresaw the emerging commercial market for such pistols amongst military officers, hence the order from Colt in such quantity. It is surmised that nearly half of all 32 caliber 1903 pocket pistols in the serial number range 525,000-537,000 were sent to Japan. Amusingly, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo attempted to commit suicide with 32 Pocket Auto, serial #535330, just as he was to be arrested by American officials (shooting himself in the chest rather than the head). Fortunately he was nursed back to health so that he could be properly executed for his war crimes by U.S. authorities, ultimately being hanged December 23, 1948. Really a super Colt 1903 Pocket, that clearly spent the Second World War in the land of the rising son in enemy hands. (38222-1) {C&R}

Rare Winchester Model 1886 Special Order Semi-Deluxe Short Rifle

Lot #111 (Sale Order 111 of 1100)

serial #126569, 33 WCF, 22" round barrel with full magazine and a bright excellent bore. This is a very fine rifle and according to author and 1886 researcher John T. Madl, this is the only 22" matted 1886 takedown rifle ever made in 33 WCF. Do not mistake this for a lightweight takedown rifle, this is a special order short rifle with factory steel crescent buttplate, not a lightweight takedown. The lower left tang bears assembly codes "511 CF" with top inlet of stock and inside toe of buttplate both bearing a matching "511". This 1903 production rifle remains in completely honest all original condition. The barrel and magazine retain 95% original blue finish overall and the rifle bears no proofs which is correct for this period. The takedown collar has flaked and shows a mixture of original blue and a smooth gray brown patina. The action retains about 93% original blue with loss on edges and due to just light use with a few scattered light abrasions. The hammer and lever show lots of fading original color case-hardened finish. The checkered pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate near excellent with about 80% original finish remaining with most loss on forend from normal carry wear. The checkering shows light wear but is all there. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman ivory beaded hunting front, single leaf folding rear and a Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight. The rifle comes with a factory letter confirming the exact configuration and showing receipt and shipment from the warehouse on April 8, 1903. Also include is John Madl's rarity report extracted from the records housed at Cody stating that this is "the only" example in multiple categories: only 22" 33 cal, only 22" 33 takdown, only matted 22" and the only one with a rifle butt. A very special 1886 rifle that would be worthy addition to any fine Winchester collection. (18263-1) {C&R}

Chicago Firearms Company Protector Palm Pistol

serial #1770, 32 RF extra short, 1 3/4" barrel with a bright very good plus to near excellent bore which shows strong rifling with a very sparsely scattered spot of light oxidation or very light pitting here and there. This is an excellent example of these very interesting little palm pistols. This example retains 98 to near 99% original nickel finish showing a very sparsely scattered very minor flake or spot of oxidation here and there, most notable a tiny amount on the face of the muzzle. The engraving around the periphery of the barrel and right sideplate remains crisp with very good checkering on the left sideplate. The gutta-percha grip panels rate very good plus to near excellent showing only some very light wear with the checkered butt panel showing a couple very superficial marks. There is a bit of very minor oxidation around the right sideplate medallion, primarily in the area of the patent date marking, but it is very unobtrusive. All of the numbers are matching on the arm. There is an old manila tag included with the gun basically listing manufacturer, model and other specifics, likely from the late 50s when the gun was obtained in Northern California. The gun functions very well mechanically and is really a very very fine example overall. (38221-5) {ANTIQUE}

Smith & Wesson No. 2 Army Revolver

Lot #113 (Sale Order 113 of 1100)

serial #36011, .32 RF, 5" ribbed octagon barrel with an about very good bore which shows strong rifling but with light pitting scattered its length. This is a very attractive revolver, the barrel has flaked primarily to a smooth gray and plum patina with generous traces of original blue in the flutes of the barrels rib and beneath the ejector spud. The cylinder retains perhaps 75% original bright blue, the balance flaked to a similar plum with the three-pin frame retaining a nice 95% original bright blue showing some flaking on the frontstrap and minor loss along the backstrap. The cartridge ejector spud shows some very strong color case-hardening at its root and there are nice colors remaining on the hammer, muting somewhat to a smoky gray. The smooth rosewood grips rate excellent with all their original varnish showing only very light wear along the sharp edges at the butt, they are stamp-numbered to the gun on their interior. The gun seems to function very well mechanically and there is only light barrel-to-frame play. The included factory letter confirms the configuration and suggests shipment was likely March 25, 1865 to JW Storrs of New York City in a 100 gun shipment. The assembly numbers are all matching. A very nice No. 2 Army overall. (38221-3) {ANTIQUE}

U.S. Jenks Mule Ear Percussion Carbine with Tape Primer

Lot #114 (Sale Order 114 of 1100)

.54 cal, 24" round barrel with a fair bore which shows some strong evident rifling but with oxidation and light, and some moderate, pitting. The barrel is a mix of oxidized brown and pewter grey gunmetal beneath, with light pitting and moderate pitting midway up the barrel toward the muzzle. The bands, triggerguard and buttplate are tarnished goldenrod-ochre patina. The barrel frame and breech lever are a speckled brown oxidized and dark pewter gunmetal gray, the lock being more of an oxidized brown patina. The barrel markings are completely legible while the maker marking on the lockplate is light. The stock rates about good showing overall numerous dings, dents and handling marks from the years. There is a repaired patch above and to the rear of the lock and another moderate patch ahead of the lock with the left side showing an 8" repair along the upper edge of the stock; it would appear as though the stock was likely broken in half at some point and effectively repaired many many years ago. The mechanism seems to function properly. Overall a good "example" piece for the budding U.S. martial or naval collector. (38238-38) {ANTIQUE}

Sharps New Model 1859 Percussion Civil War Carbine

Lot #116 (Sale Order 116 of 1100)

No.231, .65 cal., 28 1/2" octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore which shows remnants of rifling.

The rifle features a brass nosecap, dual faceted brass ramrod thimbles and a simple brass tailpipe. The Jaeger-style guard shows chiseled front and rear extensions and has a large rearward curving "grip". There is a heavy faceted buttplate and the sideplate is the semi-serpentine style seen on Hesse-Hanau and Hesse-Cassell Jaeger rifles of the period with a small teat at its rear; all the brass is a nice tarnished goldenrod patina. The European walnut stock rates about very good for its age with sharp edges and the overall minor dings and handling marks one would expect from a field-used arm; there is a small chip missing from the rear of the tang and a crack in the forend to the rear of the area wear the bayonet lug would have been. There is raised island carving around the lock and left stock flat as well as the barrels tang with a nice carved flourish ahead of the left-side cheekpiece. The rifle features a sliding wooden patchbox and has an un-engraved oval brass monogram plate atop the wrist ahead of the comb. The original brass-tipped iron ramrod is present as are the original bail-style sling swivels, the catch is missing from the sliding wooden patchbox. A nice Prussian Jaeger rifle overall, that clearly had a long service life, into the percussion period. (37879-423) {ANTIQUE} [Craig Brown Collection]

The checkering shows light wear but remains quite strong and there is a 1" x 3/8" gouge in the bottom of the forend just ahead of action - this is old and worn over. The lower left tang is marked with factory assembly number "51" and "RB" with the top inlet of stock bearing matching "51". The checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate rates very good with no chips and with wear commensurate with the balance of the rifle.

The rifle comes with a factory letter which confirms the configuration and shows a shipment date of August 26, 1896. A very nice antique Winchester 1886 deluxe rifle. (18263-2) {ANTIQUE}

Amenities include a blued steel pistolgrip cap, engraved magnum crossbolts, quick-detachable sling swivel bases at toe and underside of barrel, engraved screw heads, commercial adjustable trigger and a hinged magnum floorplate. The rifle is sighted with a hooded banded front ramp with finely matted face and ivory bead and a three leaf express rear sight, two folding, one standing, on a banded base, each leaf with gold inlaid index lines.

The front and right side of the frame have toned to a pale brown with the left side and rear of the frame a brighter pale gray. The lock retains about 90% original blue toning to brown along the edges and on the hammer.

U.S. Model 1822 Eli Whitney Contract Officers Model Or Presentation Flintlock Musket

Lot #136 (Sale Order 136 of 1100)

.69 cal, 42" barrel with a bright very good plus to near excellent bore which shows only a couple spots of very widely scattered very sparse oxidation or perhaps light pitting. The external surfaces of the barrel show a bit more use with light brown oxidation staining over all with the pewter gray gunmetal beneath being mostly smooth and very pleasing, there being more staining in the area of the "U.S." firing proof and "TW" inspectors marking. The lockplate is appropriately "U.S." and "E.Whitney" marked with feather and arrow between, it is New Haven and 1836-dated at its rear which matches the tang date. A very interesting musket, the three bands are neatly silver plated, retaining nearly all of that finish, the bow of the triggerguard as well showing much original silver plate. The stock itself rates very good plus to excellent with sharp edges showing the expected very minor dings and handling marks from the years, the left-side cartouche now only a ghost. The forestock features six very neat inlays: four, eight-pointed German silver stars, with two ovals between the stock flats and rearmost band, these neatly engraved with eight pointed stars with incise-engraved stars at their centers. The left and right of the butt have similar eight-pointed stars with neat incise engraving at their center as well, and there is a silver oval monogram plate atop the wrist which is flanked by two crescent moon inlays, these un-engraved. The buttplate shows some minor oxidation and what is likely the original ramrod is present. The lock is crisp and mechanically functional and the gun appears to be in its original flint. Whether this was a late third type of Whitney's last government contract or the post-contract assembled muskets mentioned by Moller, which the Whitney company attempted to market on the commercial stage in the 1840s is unknown. It would seem to stand to reason that one would use an embellished presentation musket to try and land a state contract or perhaps to be sold on the commercial market as a private-purchase arm. Nonetheless this is a very pleasing and very interesting embellished musket overall. (38295-1) {ANTIQUE}

Scarce Palmer Bolt Action Carbine

Lot #137 (Sale Order 137 of 1100)

.50 Cal, 20" barrel with a very good plus bore that shows some scattered light to moderate oxidation but strong rifling. The barrel retains perhaps 85% original blue with overall scattered light freckling. The lockplate is dated 1865 and it is correctly marked "U.S./E.G. LAMSON & CO./WINDSOR VT". The lock shows a generous amount of the original case colors with scattered light freckling and areas turning to a pleasing brown patina. The triggerguard, buttplate and barrel band have mostly turned a nice brown patina with some light oxidation staining. The lower tang shows a generous amount of the original case colors with some spots turning to a brown patina. The walnut stock rates excellent with most of its oil finish, a crisp "MM" cartouche and showing the scattered handling marks, light scratches and moderate dings one would expect from the years. It is believed that only 1,001 of these carbines were delivered to the U.S. Government in 1865 making this arm harder to find than other contemporary carbines. Overall a very fine and original example of these early bolt action carbines. (208211-9) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #160 (Sale Order 160 of 1100)

serial #3996, 8x56MS, 19 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90-92% original blue, the loss is due to even fading and some very light high edge and contact point wear.

Colt Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Revolver

Lot #161 (Sale Order 161 of 1100)

serial 56563, 44-40 W.C.F., 7 1/2" barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore. This salty old gun retains nice honest condition and is marked with U.S. ordnance sub-inspector David F. Clark's initials plus a sideways "C" above them indicating the blackpowder frame was condemned for government use. Ever thrifty Colt salvaged these condemned frames to assemble other Peacemakers such as this one. The metal surfaces of this 1880 made revolver have toned to an even brown patina with oxidation blemishes, pitting, small scattered light scuffs and a few dents. The one-piece walnut grips rate about good with moderate to heavy dents, dings, a few shallow chips around the butt plus worn and flaking varnish. The grips, grip frame, triggerguard frame, barrel and cylinder are correctly numbered to the gun, the three line patents on the frame remain strong, there is a proof mark under the backstrap on the frame, the forward triggerguard bow is marked "44.C.F" and bottom of the barrel is stamped "44" forward of the cylinder pin. The barrel address is faint and unfortunately the etched Frontier Six Shooter marking is no longer visible. The gun has the early "bullseye" ejector rod, and still times and locks up correctly. This is an honest gun that failed government scrutiny but went on to lead an active existence, probably in some far-off frontier town. (86520-2448) {ANTIQUE} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

Prussian Model 1869 Navy Adams-Style Double Action Percussion Revolver

Lot #171 (Sale Order 171 of 1100)

serial #35, .36 cal, 7 1/2" octagon barrel with a somewhat bright, very good bore which shows sharp rifling but with minor frosting and pitting within the grooves. The metal surfaces show an overall restored nice-quality plum brown finish with toning to pewter on the sharp edges and contact points. The hammer and trigger are a dull mottled gray patina while the cylinder shows a mottled gray flaming in an attempt to duplicate case-hardening, it is very pleasing and well done. All of the visibly numbered parts are matching and the gun seems to function well mechanically.

These revolvers were adopted by the Kriegsmarine in an effort to bolster the 1851 Navy which was already then in full use, the Adams patent revolvers being double and single action being somewhat more versatile. It is surmised that around 1300 revolvers were produced from 1869-70. These revolvers were used by the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War and continued in use until the Reichsrevolver was introduced. The gun features multiple German proofs and is marked on its top barrel flat "S&N Suhl 1869" making this an early example, the first year of production. A very good example as-restored, very pleasing overall. (37879-355) {ANTIQUE}

German Underlever Double Hammer Buchsflinte Combination Gun by G.L. Rasch

Lot #174 (Sale Order 174 of 1100)

serial #5079, .43 Mauser and 16 ga., 26" barrels with a bright excellent rifle bore with sharp crisp rifling and a couple sparsely scattered very light pits and a very good plus to near excellent shotgun bore, the shotgun barrel with straight rifling its full-length showing sparsely scattered extremely light oxidation or scattered very light pits; the shotgun barrel with 2 1/2" chamber and a somewhat tight bore which measures "full" on a choke gauge but is of uniform diameter its full-length. The straight rifling allows one to use specially designed ball if one wishes but it also stabilizes shot patterns by keeping the wad from spinning, without the disruption of shot pattern that occurs with spiraled rifling. The rifle barrel retains roughly 92-95% original blue, the loss due to some light muzzle fading wear and even fading, with a few sparsely scattered spots of light oxidation. The shotgun barrel shows nice star damascus pattern its full-length, fading slightly nearer the breeches, showing some light water spotting and a few very tiny handling marks here and there. There is light engraving at the breeches and the hand matted rib features the makers name in riband "GL Rasch Braunschweig". The frame, under lever and lockplates are primarily a silvery smooth case-hardened patina with some generous traces of colors beneath the hammers and on the right side of the frame beneath the fence. The hammers are smooth and rebounding with neatly checkered ears, and the locks seem to function well mechanically; one firing pin has a part of its skirt chipped away but this does not affect its function. The somewhat fancy triggerguard has a rearward-curving flourish and retains some generous trace original blue while the curved horn gripping area shows a simple forward, and very nice rearward swirling flourish, showing some very light chips along the leading edge of the pistolgrip flourish. The English walnut buttstock features a flared left-side cheekpiece with shadowline and some very nice grain figure. It rates very good with the overall expected small dings and handling marks from the years and nice checkered panels left and right. The length of pull to the smooth steel buttplate is 14 1/4" to the front single-set trigger. The arm is maker-equipped with sling swivels and features a simple silver bead front blade and single standing v-notch rear sight. Lockup is tight and the barrels show the tiniest ghost of light between the breech faces and the standing breech. An attractive German buchsflinte combination "cape gun" overall. A chamber casting is included. (38135-3) {ANTIQUE}

Custom Winchester Pre-War Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #175 (Sale Order 175 of 1100)

serial #3333, 257 Roberts, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even light fading and high edge and contact point wear, the bottom metal with some light scratches. The bolt body remains mostly bright and is appropriately numbered to the gun, the knob toning to a dull pewter patina. The most striking thing about this rifle is its stock. What appears very much to be an original Winchester pre-war Model 70 stock has been expertly checkered and carved in a manner which is so identical to custom gunmaker Fred Adolph's work that it is impossible for this writer to believe it was not done by his hand. Unfortunately this rifle was made in 1938, and according to the man who would you know better than anyone, Mike Petrov, Fred Adolph was then working at Ford Motor Company (1936-1957) and no longer doing gun work. Further evidence of Adolph's hand shows two oblong, neatly milled panel replacements at the left and right mid-stock where Fred Adolph normally had oblong checkered and carved panels; these "repair panels" are highly figured walnut. There is absolutely no reason for these panels to have been done other than to replace checkered panels a subsequent owner of the rifle may have found objectionable, when carrying the gun mid-stock at its natural balance point. The rifle has a Griffin & Howe quick-detach scope base and ring set installed along with corresponding G&H replacement low scope safety, there exists every possibility that this wonderful checkering was done at Griffin & Howe, at which time there were also Super Grade-style swivels expertly milled and installed as well. Sadly some 1950s-era gunsmith felt it necessary to install white line spacers at the ebony forend tip and at the Winchester Repeating Arms Company hard rubber pistolgrip cap, doubtless at the same time the early Pachmayr Gun Works rifle pad with dual white lines was fitted, again this being clearly later 50s-era work (the length of pull is 13 3/4"). The stock itself rates otherwise very good plus to excellent showing only minor handling marks from the years. The rifle is sighted with a Marbles Sheard style brass bead front and Winchester-style No. 6 folding dual leaf rear sight. The scope rings support a 2 1/2X Lyman Alaskan telescopic sight with post and crosshair reticle and bright excellent optics. A very lovely rifle overall with some absolutely superb checkering, nicely sighted and in an excellent North American caliber, with the added bonus of having an unusual and desirable serial number configuration.

Lot #176 (Sale Order 176 of 1100)

The metal surfaces retain about 98% plus excellent quality maker blue finish, the bolt body and anti-bind bolt strip remain brilliant and unstained. The rifle has been stocked classic style in a nice piece of figured rosewood, the stock rating excellent with only a small handful of very minor handling marks, most prominent being some minor scratches beneath the bolt knob. The stock is accented with a rounded left-side shadowline cheekpiece, blue steel pistolgrip cap and ebony forend tip. It features flawlessly executed borderless panels at the grip with a wrap-around pattern at the forearm. There are the remnants of a light crack at the left side of tang to the rear of the bolt release and a small chip at the rear of the tang, both which were effectively, very professionally repaired. The rifle is sighted with a banded sporting front ramp with a brass bead and a quarter rib express rear sight with four folding, and one standing, leafs. Included with the rifle are a pair of 1" Sako quick detach scope rings. The barrel features a banded sling swivel base, there is no swivel provision on the buttstock.

The front action screw shows a tiny bit of slot damage but the rifle remains in very nice condition overall and exhibits nice quality workmanship. (38218-27) {MODERN} [Ken Waters Collection]

Custom Winchester Pre '64 Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #177 (Sale Order 177 of 1100)

serial #363066, 260 Rem, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this nicely re-chambered and converted rifle retain about 97% original blue with professionally restored blue on the barrel. The bolt body remains mostly bright with some sparsely scattered very light oxidation here and there and a good deal of operational use, it is appropriately numbered to the gun. The checkered walnut Monte Carlo style stock rates very good with the minor dings and handling marks one would expect from a field-used arm. The factory buttplate has been replaced with a nicely fitted Pachmayr 1/2" rifle pad providing a 12 7/8" length of pull. Likely originally a 257 Roberts, the caliber marking has been very neatly and very professionally removed and very neatly re-stamped with a one-piece die "260 Rem", the original factory markings and proof stamping are still fully legible and unmolested. The original silver bead front sight is in place, the hood is no longer present, and a 3C sporting rear is in place on the rear sight boss. Overall a very nice 1956-manufactured Pre '64 Model 70 in an updated modern high-performance, low recoil caliber, used by Mr. Waters in his article on the .260 Remington in his book "Pet Loads". (As with any rifle of custom-chambering a competent gunsmith should examine bore and chamber and check the headspace prior to use) (38218-23) {C&R} [Ken Waters Collection]

U.S. Model 1852 Naval Officers Sword Belonging to Three-Time Navy Cross Recipient Cmdr. Bruce L Harw

Lot #178 (Sale Order 178 of 1100)

It features naval martial panoplies left and right with "BL Harwood" etched on the obverse and rates about bright excellent. The guard and pommel feature much original gilt, nearly all of which remains showing only very light wear on the sharp edges and contact points.

The scabbard rates very good with much original gilt on the throat, suspension collar and tip chape, also with some minor green oxidation at the drag. The black leather covering has dried and flaked slightly with the years however is mostly intact. you Cmdr. Bruce Lawrence Harwood would win the Navy Cross once and the Naval Gold Star twice in lieu of the Navy Cross. He entered the service as an aviation cadet in 1935 and ironically was stationed aboard the USS Arizona from January 1937 until September 1938, at which time he was transferred to the carrier Saratoga. In 1941 he was stationed aboard the Hornet as a fighter and later torpedo pilot with the famous Air Group 8. In January 1944 he was assigned to the carrier Princeton. His first Naval Cross was for a torpedo attack on a Japanese task force in the face of withering fire, his Gold Star in lieu of the Naval Cross, was for action at Guadalcanal and of the surrounding vicinity. He was assigned to the Princeton in May '44 and during the battle of Leyte Gulf would earn his second Gold Star, in lieu of a third Naval Cross. The commendation reads thus "for extraordinary heroism while serving as air officer on board the USS Princeton when that vessel was attacked and sunk by enemy Japanese aircraft off the East Coast of Luzon during the second battle of the Philippine Sea on October 24, 1944. Immediately after a hostile dive bomber penetrated our screen and scored a direct hit on his carrier, starting raging fires and a series of violent explosions and killing or wounding many members of the crew, commander Harwood courageously remained at his post on the port side of the bridge structure to direct firefighting measures despite the resulting confusion and danger of further eminent detonations. Then, on his own initiative, he fearlessly entered the hangar deck in the face of intense flames rapidly spreading to a torpedo and bomb stowage to determine the extent of damage and control the fires. Working diligently throughout the day, he always penetrated the most hazardous areas ahead of the others and, when a number of his men were overcome by heat or exhaustion during the operations, personally removed them to a place of safety. Determined to save the stricken ship, he was valiantly carrying on his tireless efforts when a bomb stowage aft of the hangar exploded taking his life. His inspiring leadership, outstanding fortitude and great personal valor in the face of tremendous odds reflects the highest credit upon Commander Harwood and the United States Naval Service." He carried the fight to save his vessel for seven hours, the initial hit severed a main gasoline supply line and spilled aviation fuel through multiple decks and disabled the firefighting system aboard Princeton in the area of the explosion. At 1600 hrs. the fires were deemed out of control and the order was given to abandon the ship. Shortly after at 17:46 hours the USS Reno fired torpedoes at Princeton's main magazine, she sank into the sea at 17:50 hrs. Cmdr. Harwood would have a destroyer named after him, his widow christening the vessel. Included with the sword is an official U.S. naval photograph of Adm. "Bull" Halsey presenting the second Navy Cross (Gold Star) to Lieut. Cmdr. Bruce Harwood, the rear of the photo dated fifth May, 1943; copies of two period newspaper clippings are included as well and the swords outer chamois sleeve, showing moderate insect damage, is included as well. The sword was purchased by the consignor from Harwood's sister. (38211-15)

Howie was a great man, who served his country with distinction throughout two wars. He was also a distinguished pistol shot and a theoretician of marksmanship. We now learn with deep sorrow of his death in February of this year. He was a good comrade. May he rest in peace!" This piece was consigned by the Taft family and includes a gray plastic rectangular Gun Guard hardcase. A near excellent example overall that was manufactured at a time when very few commercial rifles were being built, and with the added benefit of having an interesting lineage, worthy of further research.

The barrel retains about 80% of what appears to be the original blue that is mingling with brown, the lever appears to have a more recent blue finish with some aspects of fire blue showing. The frame has traces of the original case colors, the balance is a mottled brown. The brass triggerguard has a mild ochre patina with some areas of a darker tarnish bleeding through. The remaining metal parts are a blend of mottled browns and grays and all of the metal surfaces have light handling and light tools marks throughout, along with some light oxidation and staining and some fine pinprick pitting; many of the screws have minor slot damage. The walnut grip rates about very good and has been lightly cleaned with finish added leaving the metal proud along the edges. The grip has several light dings and other handling marks and some minor chipping at the toe on either side. Most of the markings are crisp and legible. The action functions well and the timing appears to be good, however the cylinder is a bit loose and does not lock. The nipples are not malformed. An about very good example. (48158-43) {ANTIQUE}

The rifle features bail style swivels and what is likely the original brass-tipped iron ramrod is included; the bayonet lugs have been removed from the muzzle area. A very good example overall.

Sadly when this takedown latch was polished and re-strawed, its right side was dressed down quite a bit, so much in fact that it no longer protrudes from the right side of the frame, it being slightly under the level of the frame metal, suggesting very highly that the number which was once there, was removed during the polishing process, which would have proven this to be a U.S. test pistol. The checkered walnut grips rate about very good showing a good deal of wear and flattening of the points, they are each numbered "87" on their interior but fit the gun very well. A single bright-bodied wood base magazine is included which is numbered in DC electric pencil along its back spine "7849", the magazine rating about excellent.

The forend is a large beavertail and while the stocks are not overly graceful in their form, the rifle holds and feels comfortable when aimed. The rifle features a modern globe target front, no rear seat and tang sight mounting holes hold filler screws. The top of the barrel is fitted with scope blocks. An interesting old custom Ballard that will likely shoot well and is cheap to feed. (17966-2) {ANTIQUE}

German LP.08 Artillery Luger Pistol by DWM

Lot #332 (Sale Order 332 of 1100)

serial #9519c, 9mm, 8" barrel with a bright about excellent bore showing minor frosting along its length. The metal surfaces retain about 85-90% original blue, the loss due to an overall fading of the finish, muzzle and receiver wear and it appears that the sideplate has been cleaned at some point. The toggle is marked DWM, the chamber is dated 1917 and all of the visible numbered parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin and the fine-tuned front and rear sights. There are military proof and acceptance marks on the right side of the receiver and a sideways "crown/(N)" commercial proof mark on the breech block. The checkered walnut grips rate near very good with an overall flattening of the points that are nearly worn smooth and they are stamp-numbered to the gun on their interior. Included is a single bright-bodied, wood-based magazine numbered "2137" with the number "2" above it on its base and "P.B.200." is stamped on the body of the magazine which rates about very good overall.

German P.08 Luger Pistol by Erfurt

Lot #333 (Sale Order 333 of 1100)

serial #3192, 9mm, 4" barrel with a near very good bore showing moderate frosting throughout its length. The metal surfaces retain about 82-85% original blue with an overall fading of the finish and moderate pitting along the straps and top of the frame. The straw parts have toned to a pewter patina with minor pinprick pitting and oxidation staining and the right side parts are showing the strongest remaining temper. The toggle is marked Erfurt, the chamber is dated 1914 and all of the visible numbered parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin. The checkered walnut grips rate near very good with minor compression and a few chipped points, they have darkened over the years and fit slightly loose to the gun and they are stamp-numbered to the gun on their interior. Included is a single bright-bodied, wood-based magazine which is numbered to the gun and includes two "crown/(gothic letter)" inspection stamps and rates about very good overall. A nice opportunity to own an early Imperial era P.08. (218050-135) {C&R}

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #334 (Sale Order 334 of 1100)

serial #63543, 45 Colt, 4 3/4" barrel with a fair-poor bore which shows only remnants of rifling and scattered pitting its full-length. The metal surfaces are primarily a dull pewter gray patina with overall light pinprick pitting, some areas of oxidation and scattered light handling marks from the years. The barrel shows evidence of having had the front sight reset, quite some number of years ago, it does not appear to ever have been cut and appears to be its original length. The one piece walnut grip rates about very good as lightly cleaned, the metal being slightly proud of the wood in areas and the left and right of the grip shows patched-in spacers from many years ago where it meets the frame. The numbers are all matching and the gun seems to function mechanically, the trigger is slightly short as there is no half cock notch and the bolt drags slightly on the loading notch, no doubt easily rectifiable by any pistolsmith who knows his business. The hammer is a more modern replacement with full knurling on its thumb piece and newer style of firing pin present. The gun locks up loosely and the cylinder has quite a bit of endshake and some of the screw heads show some slot damage. Overall a salty old Single Action Army with a nice "frontier-used" look to it, manufactured in 1881. (37492-8) {ANTIQUE}

Philadelphia Percussion Target Pistol by Robertson

Lot #335 (Sale Order 335 of 1100)

.48 cal, 10" octagon barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel is primarily a plum brown with pewter undertones showing a few minor impact marks here and there. The patent breech shows remnants of a smoky gray case-hardening with a single inlaid gold band, the pewter-toned tang with some light scroll engraving. The arm is sighted with a simple dovetailed front blade sight with a shallow of v-notch rear on the tang. The bar under lock is marked "Robertson" and shows some sprays of loose excellent quality scroll, these continue onto the hammer which has a lovely scrolled cap deflector (a part of the hammers nipple skirt has chipped away). The arm features a single spur iron triggerguard with light engraving on the bow and a chiseled and engraved front extension, these mount a single set trigger. The checkered American walnut stock rates very good with a prominent schnabel tip which shows some chipping along its sharp edge and with a nicely checkered grip section culminating in a wafer-shaped butt. The lock mechanism seems to function well mechanically. William Robertson was active in Philadelphia from 1790-1829, his son William took over until roughly 1860. (38160-2) {ANTIQUE}

U.S. FP-45 Liberator Pistol by G.M. Guide Lamp Division

Lot #336 (Sale Order 336 of 1100)

45 ACP, 4" barrel with an excellent bore showing a few stray oxidation stains.

This four-hole Liberator has no breech mark, remains fully operational and the floorplate is present. A nice Liberator to fill out your WWII collection. (86229-830) {C&R} [Elliott Riggs Collection]

U.S. Model 1903 Rifle by Rock Island Arsenal

Lot #337 (Sale Order 337 of 1100)

serial #302243, 30-06, 24" 6-18 dated Rock Island Arsenal barrel with a bright near excellent bore which shows sharp rifling but with some scattered light frosting, more prominent nearer the throat. The barrel retains some very good original dark gray parkerizing, toning to more of a gray-green hue on the exposed portion ahead of the handguard and band, also with numerous minor scratches in small handling marks in this area. The bands have toned to a lightly oxidized gray brown. The receiver retains 95% dark gray phosphate finish, toning to plum on its top surfaces. The bolt body retains perhaps 90% rust blue showing the normal operational marks, the extractor with remnants of oxidation, the bolt handle with a center punch mark on its underside. The cocking piece and safety retain some excellent oil-quenched case-hardening with "ready" and "safe" in serifed letters. The bottom metal at this point has toned primarily to a dull gray and brown patina showing some impact marks and a bit of scarring around the periphery of the screw holes, a few of the screws themselves showing some minor slot damage. The walnut stock is the most interesting feature of this rifle. It features dual crossbolts and is Harrison's "type 5" with fingergrooves, low wood and a scant point of comb. It features a circled P firing proof in 7/16" circle and an eaglehead inspectors mark on the left side to the rear of the magazine cut-off relief cut. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this stock is the fact that the inletting is arsenal milled for a Warner & Swayze telescopic musket sight base, "late type" The Springfield 1903 Rifles Brophy, P.498). The stock itself rates very good plus to excellent with only minor dings and handling marks from the years; the handguard is similar but features a 2 1/2" crack along its top surface, it is tight and will not flex. There is a nickel plated thong-oiler beneath the trapdoor in the smooth steel buttplate. The barrel has the steel lot number "C109" on its underside to the rear of the front sight band as well as a single "P" firing proof. Overall a very attractive and correct Rock Island Arsenal 1903, which may have seen later 1919-1920 parkerizing at Rock Island Arsenal during their repair/rebuild/replace cycle 1919- circa 1924.

Custom Ruger M-77 Bolt Action Rifle by Bob Emmons

Lot #338 (Sale Order 338 of 1100)

serial #72-88850, .220 Swift, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% excellent quality satin custom blue finish, the receiver starting to drift slightly to a plum-tone. The rifle has been custom stocked by Bob Emmons in a very lovely grain of American black walnut, classic style with a rounded left side shadowline cheekpiece. Amenities include a nice ebony forend tip, blued steel pistolgrip cap and a checkered steel Niedner style buttplate providing a 13 3/4" length of pull. The stock itself rates excellent with virtually no handling marks showing a few minor drying cracks in the highly figured wood, and the beginning of a tiny flake to the rear of the safety. The rifle has QD sling swivel studs and flawlessly executed borderless checkered panels left and right of the grip with a small thumbprint panel atop the wrist with a lovely wrap-around pattern at the forearm. The pre-warning barrel features a banded Lyman sporting front ramp but there are no other sights present on the rifle; a pair of Ruger factory blued steel rings is included. The bolt body remains bright with the extractor very neatly jeweled and the handle five panel metal checkered; the thumb safety has been flattened and very finely metal checkered as well. Really an exceptionally nicely-made rifle with a very nice lines and dimensions awaiting only your choice of optics or perhaps quality open sights. (38218-16) [Ken Waters Collection]

The nickel surfaces retain roughly 99% bright original nickel with a very good left-side etched panel which is fading slightly. The screws, cylinder pin and trigger show very good original fire blue, toning only slightly, with brilliant blue on the hammer spine, the bright-polished sides showing some light oxidation. The checkered rosewood birdshead grips rate very good plus to perhaps near excellent showing much original varnish with only minor flaking along the sharp edges mid-grip, there is no discernible number but they fit perfectly. Barrel, cylinder and frame all match and the gun functions well mechanically. Really a super example overall of these normally hard-used pocket pistols. (38196-1) {ANTIQUE}

Stevens Vernier New Model Pocket Rifle No. 40-1/2

Lot #340 (Sale Order 340 of 1100)

serial #18492, .22 LR, 15" part octagon part round barrel with a very good plus to near excellent bore which shows a few spots of very light oxidation or very light pinprick pitting, also sadly with a bulge about 5" from the breech. The barrel is primarily a dull pewter gray patina with some remnants of dark gray original blue, also with some sparse areas of light oxidation staining. The frame retains about 97 to near 98% original nickel, showing only some light wear on some of the sharp edges, the brass buttstock adapter showing some wear to an okra along its sharp edges beneath the grips. Hammer, trigger and the screws retain some nice original blue with the vernier tang sight toning to more of a plum brown. The original buttstock, numbered to the gun is included, rating very good with perhaps 92-95% original nickel, the flaked areas of loss a plum brown patina. The smooth walnut grips rate about very good showing some wear to the varnish of some very superficial scratches from the years, they are pencil-numbered to the gun. Frame, barrel and stock are matching numbered, amusingly the stock is numbered backwards "29481", clearly the work of the factory. The original beach combination front sight is intact, with simple open rear sight and the tang mounted vernier sight retains its aperture and slide. Lockup is tight and the gun functions well mechanically. Really a nice example over all, were the barrel professionally re-lined and reblued by a professional it would be nearly undetectable. (38238-11) {C&R}

Sharps & Hankins Model 1862 Navy Carbine

Lot #341 (Sale Order 341 of 1100)

serial #7170, .52 RF, 24" barrel with a bright very good plus to about excellent bore which shows scattered sparse pitting. The muzzle band is primarily a plum brown and pewter patina with the barrels leather covering near fully intact, areas of loss being only at the rear at the frame and small torn sections at the breech where it is no longer attached with the left and right attaching screws. The seam stitching is coming undone for about half of its length, the leather showing light and moderate crackling and flaking its full-length but is primarily intact. The frame is a mottled silvery case-hardened patina with some light oxidation staining and a few spots of very light pitting. The link is mostly smooth with the lever showing some light dings and handling marks from the years, the lower tang a smooth case-hardened patina. The smooth walnut stock rates about very good, is now devoid of varnish and has minor dings and handling marks; the brass buttplate is a dull goldenrod patina. The numbers are matching on tangs, frame, barrel and link. The action functions well mechanically however the sliding safety and its hammer-mounted catch are no longer present; the rear swivel is missing from its base. Really a very good example over all, the leather is somewhat dry and could use some conservation. (38238-29) {ANTIQUE}

Lovely Walther Model 4 Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot #342 (Sale Order 342 of 1100)

serial #253704, 32 ACP, 3 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely pistol retain about 98 to near 99% original blue, the loss is due to a couple of sparsely scattered very light freckles of oxidation, primarily at the muzzle, along with a tiny bit of rub wear at the rear knuckle, and perhaps the very lightest handling mark or two here and there. There is lovely pale fire temper blue on the extractor, fading a bit on the safety and rear sight. The checkered hard rubber Walther monogram grips rate excellent. Included is a single blued body magazine with bright follower. Gun comes in its original two-piece pebbled paper-covered box with a boar bristle cleaning brush. The lid features the "Walther" in gold banner along with a "Made in Germany" surcharge label, the box rating about very good overall with some minor corner separation and scuffing. The neatest part about the box is the original "Walther Selbstlade Pistole" lid closure sticker, with the serial number of the gun in ink pen. The orange and white sticker is somewhat tender and is affixed to the top of the box, it had torn nearly through and its backside has been neatly bolstered by the addition of a piece of repair paper which has prevented further damage. Most of these pocket pistols saw hard use and are only found these days in "gray" condition. This pistol seems to have seen little or no use since leaving Germany. Slide and frame are numbered alike. A superb example overall. (38211-24) {C&R}

Engraved Colt New Line First Model Revolver

Lot #343 (Sale Order 343 of 1100)

serial #1983, .32 RF, 2 1/4" barrel with a very good bore which shows sharp rifling but with light pitting an oxidation scattered its length. This is an attractive little revolver which is engraved in New York style in loose flowing scroll with background punch-dot shading and geometric edging in about 95% coverage. The metal surfaces retain 98-99% later excellent quality nickel, likely done at the time of the engraving. The trigger and hammer show very nice restored pale fire temper blue (the cylinder pin having been nickeled as well). The revolver has a pair of smooth ivory grips from the period of use which show nice darkening to a mottled cream color along with some very minor drying from age, they are un-numbered and fit rather well, the frame being proud in spots. Barrel and frame are numbered alike, the cylinder is numbered to a different revolver, however it clearly has been with this arm for a long time. The gun functions loosely mechanically, the cylinder stop trips early and therefore drags. A lovely little New Line pistol overall. (38196-2) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Official Police Double Action Revolver

Lot #344 (Sale Order 344 of 1100)

serial #731499, 38 special, 6" heavy barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely revolver retain about 98% original blue, the loss is due to some very light muzzle wear, a tiny bit of wear at the butt and some very light sharp edge wear; there are some scratches atop the rear of the barrel where it meets the frame, they have oxidized slightly and are unobtrusive. Blue remains excellent on the checkered trigger and spine of the hammer with the bright-polished sides still brilliant showing only some very light oxidation on the left side at the spur. The brown checkered Coltwood grips rate excellent, they are correctly un-numbered. This lovely revolver functions perfectly and was manufactured in 1947, the first year to be issued with Coltwood grips. (38218-41) {C&R} [Ken Waters Collection]

WW Greener Model No. 2 Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #345 (Sale Order 345 of 1100)

serial #30450, 12 ga., 30" damascus barrels choked roughly cylinder and modified with bright about excellent bores, the left tube showing remnants of an old professionally raised dent which was very nicely done. The chambers were opened quite some time ago to 2 3/4" and the barrels exhibit some very nice damascus pattern their full length, they are blackpowder proofed. The rib is equipped with dual silver beads and the extension is neatly engraved and the rib marked "Patent Treble/Wedge Fast" along with the WW Greener makers mark and Haymarket address with "Winner at the London Gun Trials 1875, 1877, 1878 & 1879". The Facile Princeps type frame is primarily a dull pewter patina with sparse tight English scroll and makers name in riband, showing some trace colors in the protected areas of the fences. The bottom plate shows evidence of an older reblue and the long tang triggerguard was shortened during the period of use to just behind the serial number. The shotgun is stocked English-style in a lovely grade of English walnut showing fiddleback figure throughout, the stock's cheeks with interesting little "arrowhead" dropper points (most No. 2 guns that we have seen have the scant pistolgrip rather than straight-grip stock). Both buttstock and forend rate very good plus as refinished quite some years ago, the checkering refreshed at that time. The length of pull to the grooved horn buttplate is 14 3/8" with drops of 1 1/2" and 2 1/2". Gun features a Greener side safety and an un-engraved silver oval monogram plate along the toeline. The arm seems to lock up tightly and no wall thickness below .030" is noted. Included with the gun is a leather luggage-style case with the WW Greener makers label, Mahogany cleaning rod, nickeled snap caps, silver oil bottle, rod end accessories and leather forend protector; the case is much newer than the gun. The included makers letter shows that the shotgun was started in March 1884 and finished later that same year. Interestingly the letter also mentions that the barrel was proved as a 13 bore with 14 bore dimensions at the muzzle, meaning both barrels are fully choked and show a pellet count in each of 220 (No. 6 shot) at 30 yards; bore diameters are .735-.736" left and right.

The barrel is marked "GF" and "C" indicating Amberg manufacture and the barrel is matching to the receiver but the other parts appear unnumbered and the triggerguard, middle and rear band are slightly loose. A solid example of an updated Werder rifle. (207879-258) {ANTIQUE} [Craig Brown Collection]

The bottom of the grip is marked with a lined-out unit mark that appears to read "7.5.A.2.3." and an undisturbed unit marking that reads "221.A.6.79". The left side of the frame is marked with an issue date of "1882" and a brown leather M/790 style holster is included that has a faint maker mark that reads in part "L. RITGEN", the holster is dated 1900 and it is marked on the front "S/SGT. J.M. GAYLORD".

The cylinder scene is no longer visible and there are some areas of moderate pitting on the cylinder. The triggerguard has toned to a goldenrod patina and shows minor dings and handling marks with a few tool marks. The smooth walnut grip rates very good with overall minor dings and handling marks, most prominent on the butt, showing light but evident left and right side cartouches. The grip is from a different revolver with both frontstrap and backstrap being very proud of the wood. Frame, triggerguard and backstrap are numbered alike, barrel lug is numbered "28954" the cylinder number can no longer be discerned. The arbor shows a period repair and the un-numbered wedge shows numerous impact and peening marks in an attempt no doubt to tighten its fit. This example is a four-screw frame with the backstrap cut for shoulder stock, the lugs being slightly peened. The revolver does function mechanically and has a very "been there done that" look and clearly saw Civil War use (or at least a heck of a lot of holster time). (38295-23) {ANTIQUE}

Affixed at the flare is a nice wide metal guard which curves slightly forward at its top, the guard then tapering back along its curve toward the riveted tang. There are two walnut or oak scales affixed to the full tang blade with three iron rivets. The wood has shrunken slightly and shows some drying cracks from the years, as well as some rust staining leaching in from the rivets. Quality-made, blade and tang are one-peace, the full tang exposed through the pommel, neatly and heavily riveted making for a very very rugged knife overall. (37645-22C)

The arm is a very good quality reconversion to flint, the remnants of the nipple barrel still present in the right side of barrel at breech. The American walnut stock rates about very good with minor dings and handling marks overall, showing an old cleaning with a bit of added finish many years ago; there remains a chip missing at the rear and left side of the tang. The lock seems to function well mechanically and what is likely an original trumpet-shape ramrod is present.

The American walnut stock rates otherwise very good with some highly figured grain in the butt, there is a crack on the right side below the lock and left side through the stock flat to the triggerguard, likely due to the highly figured nature of the wood, it is very old. The lock seems to function well mechanically and there is a later wooden ramrod included. (38238-4) {ANTIQUE}

This is a limited, numbered edition, signed by the artist, of John Seerey-Lester's 1984 painting of an adult black bear amidst a Northeast wooded backdrop, the ground covered with melting springtime snow. The Bruin is at the left rear of the image just clearing a rise. Surrounding him are mature white birch and saplings, hemlocks and the hardwood deciduous forest in the background still barren of leaves. This scene set against a cloudless turquoise blue sky. The depiction is vivid and absolutely wonderful, the print itself is numbered 631/950 and signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right-hand corner. The view measures 26 1/2" x 16 1/2" and is double matted royal blue and white. This is framed in a chocolate-toned hardwood frame with external dimensions of 38 1/4" x 28 1/4".

Mist enshrouds the ridge in the background, the tops of the Douglas fir ghostlike through the early morning rising mist. Rather unusually, the buck is in the lead, a smoky trail of mist leaving his nostrils as they trot along in the morning chill. Both deer are alert, their eyes fixed on something distant, tails just popping up. The print is numbered "114/780" and is signed by the artist in pencil at the lower right-hand of the mat. The view measures 29 3/4" x 11 1/2". It is professionally matted with a desert sand-colored mat, the interior step-framed in a thin strip of oak, setting off the darker molded frame, the outward dimensions being 39 3/4" x 22 1/4".

U.S. Model 1808 Flintlock Contract Musket by French

Lot #1089 (Sale Order 1089 of 1100)

.69 cal, 42" barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces are an overall plum brown patina with overall light pitting, still showing the "P" firing proof near the breech. The lock is appropriately maker marked however the Eagle is light and the date cannot be discerned. This seems to be a very good reconversion to flint. The stock rates about good showing an old refinish and missing a 6" sliver ahead of the lock, with a large crack running through the right side of the stock through the wrist from rear tang to triggerguard and an older repaired crack above and to the rear of the lock. The stock will flex and should be professionally stabilized. What is likely an original ramrod is present, the rear sling swivel is not, however the lock does function well mechanically. There is a drilled hole atop the wrist which may have been an older dowelled repair, the dowel now missing. A good-near very good example overall. (38295-2) {ANTIQUE}
