(A) Rare & Unusual Circa 1840 French Robert's System Breech-loading 20 Bore Shotgun.

Lot #600 (Sale Order 1 of 531)

This is one of the more unusual designs to come out of the 1830-40's era when many gun makers were experimenting with breech loading weapons as well as self contained cartridges. The proprietary cartridge was self-contained in a paper/cardboard type tube. At the rear of the cartridge protruded a small percussion tube that operated similar to a pinfire cartridge. The action operates by lifting up on the upper tang to unlock and swing the breech open, exposing the rear of the barrel/chambers to load the cartridge. Then by closing/lowering the upper tang, it cocks the internal hammers, which then can strike the noted percussion firing tube on the rear of the cartridge. The significance of this shotgun and cartridge is that in 1831 Abraham Moser was granted an English patent (6196) on using this cartridge with a centerfire cap base and later J.A. Roberts was granted a French patent (8061) in which he combined the two and developed the rimfire cartridge. This gun is marked in gold on the top of the barrel "FUSIL ROBERT Bte A PARIS". Marked on the rear of the action "ACADie L'INieFRANCAISE/ MEDAILE/ D OR/ 1833". Fine scroll engraving on the action and trigger guard. Engraved on the inside of the action lever on the left side "C24 No 95". Damascus barrels retain most of the original pattern with 85% applied brown finish. Slight dings and dents in both barrels. Bores are dirty but fine, action is in good mechanical function. Birdseye stock is very good with dings and handling marks. There is a crack that appears to have been pinned a very long time ago on either side going from the rear of the trigger guard to the middle of the action. Beautiful relief carved finial of forend. Checkering is very good with well defined edges. Barrel Length: 29 - 5/8"FFL Status: AntiqueGauge: 20Manufacturer: FrenchModel: RobertPaperwork: NoSerial Number: NSN

Lot #620 (Sale Order 20 of 531)

Full choke marked barrel with two line Winchester barrel address and "NICKEL STEEL FOR SMOKELESS AMMUNITION" marking on left side of barrel. The 1885 was designed by America's foremost firearms designer John Moses Browning. More variations of the Model 1885 were produced than any other model produced by Winchester. With this being said the 20 gauge shotgun was one of the rarest variations and are rarely encountered; most are later production guns made with blue steel finish and walnut two piece stocks with hard rubber buttplates. Most examples are found in the 110,000 to 115,000 serial range and this example falls right into the middle. Barrel retains most all finish with slight loss at muzzle and thinning at address area. Receiver is blue with over 75% finish remaining with common flaking of finish that occurred during this time frame. Two piece walnut stocks are very good with most all varnish remaining. Typical period storage dings and bruising exist but is very limited to bottom of forearm. Buttstock has a crack emitting from tang towards butt and another crack on right side of wrist (this could be repaired). Overall a better than average condition example of a very rare variation of the 1885 Single Shot.Barrel Length: 26"Choke: FullFFL Status: Curio & RelicGauge: 20Manufacturer: WinchesterModel: 1885 High WallPaperwork: YesSerial Number: 113730

Any example is a true find as most Winchester collectors have never encountered a Sporting Model 1896 Lee Straight Pull. Very fine overall condition with most all rust blue finish remaining. Slight blue loss is evident at muzzle and high points of receiver. Two small areas of blue loss about 1/4" in diameter are present on barrel on left side forward of rear sight. Walnut stock is very fine with evidence of use but most all varnish remains. Several small scratches are present on left side where it appears rifle was rested on something long ago in its past.

They were engraved on the right side of the frame "SHANGHAI MUNICIPAL POLICE" with rack or unit number 2514, this same number is engraved on the right side of slide, but on the barrel it is engraved 2541 which we would assume is just an inversion of the two numbers. The distinctive features that were done at the Shanghai Arsenal include a barrel pressure spring inletted on left side of slide; tapped a hole with a set screw to keep the slide lock in the off position (hole present but screw is missing); a lanyard ring was installed on the lower left side of frame; and the magazine stamped "CAL. 380 COLT" on base has six view holes in a straight vertical line along front of slide and six vertical holes in back, this allowed inspectors to make sure the cartridges were not dummies. All of these special features are covered in the book. This pistol sports a pair of checkered molded composite grips that are cut-away for lanyard loop but are not pictured or discussed in book.

Lot #993 (Sale Order 393 of 531)

This classic 1896 manufactured Saddle Ring Carbine with the standard 20" barrel has a rifle pattern buttstock with crescent butt and provision for cleaning rod. This carbine shows evidence of possible Native American Indian usage with a modified forearm to allow for the attaching of a shoulder strap for carry. The evidence of forearm wear from extensive carrying as well as being totally void of having any metal finish, this is in an indication the rifle spent its entirety in the outdoors and was exposed to the elements but well cared for. The mechanics are smooth and properly functioning and the bore is very good with several minor areas of darkness. This carbine was purported as having come from the Livingston, Montana area by its former owner. The large Indian population and vast ranches of the region support the belief of possible Native American Indian usage.

(A) 1883 Spencer Fire Escape Box with Dixon Arrow Gun.

Lot #1024 (Sale Order 424 of 531)

One of the most unusual items we have seen offered. Manufactured by the New England Pat, Fire Escape Co. The Spencer fire escape, basically an oversized line throwing device made so one could shoot a line over a building allowing the trapped residents to pull a rope ladder to them for a life saving escape. The case contains the hemp and wood ladder and the arrows that the line is attached to. A box of 25 brass cartridges for launching the projectiles and of course the single shot line throwing device. The gun itself appears to be an Austrian military single shot modified commercially for this use. It is japanned black on barrel and breech for corrosion resistance and the stock appears to be of Beech. Housed in a wooden storage/transit case with detailed instruction affixed to the interior of the lid. We have observed many line throwers and harpoon guns but have never seen a fire rescue device such as this. Good condition overall and very aesthetically appealing. The wood stock of the gun is dry but excellent with a few minor bruises from storage and several minor scratches but no material loss. The barrel and breech have retained generous amounts of the black finish with about 40% having flaked away leaving the balance a chocolate patina. The bore is fair with evidence of corrosion and pitting. Action is fine and functions properly. The transit case is fair as it has been rather weathered and suffers from some cracking and scuffs. Intact and serviceable; it has a good eye appeal. The cartridges are all empty but the spent brass cases and empty box remain. The two arrows are fine with good leather gas seals. The string spindles are very good but they are missing the white cotton string. Hemp and wood ladder is very good but should be oiled for preservation. Truly a unique item and not likely to be seen again in the near future.Accessories: Box and accessoriesBarrel Length: 17"Caliber/Bore: 12FFL Status: AntiqueManufacturer: New England Fire escape co.Model: Arrow GunPaperwork: No Serial Number: NSN

She was an English actress and a contralto opera singer, appearing in works by, among others, Mozart and Rossini. While popular in her time, she was more notable as a theatre producer and manager. After accumulating a fortune from her performances, she leased the Olympic Theatre in London and produced a series of burlesques and extravaganzas, especially popular works by James Planché, for which the house became famous. She also produced his work at other theatres she managed. Lucia studied music and was noted for her voice and dancing ability. She was married at age 16 to the French dancer, Auguste Armand Vestris, a scion of the great family of dancers of Florentine origin, but her husband deserted her four years later.

Barrel address is New York City. Cylinder scene is only slightly visible, has all original nipples and safety pins are worn. Frame is stamped "COLT'S PATENT". "912" stamped on top of backstrap with a very faded "KM" above the number, visible but not totally readable. Brass has been cleaned. All steel parts are basically grey patina. Cylinder shows overall salt and pepper texture. Screw heads are generally straight with only slight marring. Grips have been refinished and are missing chip at both front toe with a slight stress crack on right side; slightly shy to metal having been refinished. Strong, visible rifling with minor black powder abrasion. The "KM" marked 1851 Navies were shipped in two orders of 500 each for issue to the Austrian Navy. According to the book "51 Colt Navies" by N. Swayze, serial number range was 31000 to 32000. Serial number on this revolver is 1,000 beyond that number but the font of the number "9" on backstrap matches precisely to that seen on page 180 for gun serial No. 596. This serial range may have one of the 3,000 shipped to Russia in 1855 that was captured by the Austrian Government and issued to their Navy as well; had the gun been manufactured in late 1853, it is possible it could have been in inventory in 1854 which might explain the stamping on this gun outside the original order of 1,000 Navies to Austria. This is only a theory as there are no documents to back up this claim. Further research may reveal the explanation for the existence of this revolver.Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2"Caliber/Bore: .36 PercussionFFL Status: AntiqueManufacturer: ColtModel: 1851Paperwork : YesSerial Number: 33323

(A) Texas Ranger Jeff E. Vaughan Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 Revolver with Belt, Holster & Proven

Lot #1088 (Sale Order 488 of 531)

Manufactured 1896. Jeff E. Vaughan enlisted with the Texas Rangers in 1912. He was 46 years old in 1933 when he enlisted for his last six-year hitch. Based in Marfa, Texas, his duties during those 20-something years were along the dangerous Mexican border. In later years, he was a main character in Zane Grey's book "The Lone Ranger" and rode in a parade in New York City in the 1930's. It is recorded he had a meeting with Poncho Villa and also participated in a famous battle near Marfa with the Mexican banditos on April 1st, 1913 while leading Company B of the Rangers. He died in 1958. Vaughan was an avid outdoorsman and lover of firearms, and this revolver comes with direct family provenance stating that he obtained this pistol in Arkansas somewhere around 1939-40. There is a Smith & Wesson factory letter that states this gun was shipped in the exact configuration it is today, that is a six shot, single action, blued finish with hard rubber grips and lanyard. This gun was shipped to the Japanese Navy for issue to officers in 1896. The only plausible explanation for a Japanese Naval Officer gun to wind-up in Arkansas prior to World War II, it would have had to have been brought back by an American GI that was fighting in China as a foreign national against the Japanese in the mid-to-late 1930's. This gun was on display courtesy of the family at the Texas Ranger Museum from the late 1990's to the mid-2000's. Revolver is accompanied by a book titled "Lumbering Along in Texas" published in 1960 in which, in which Jeff is mentioned; numerous copies of Rangers enlistment papers, along with several letters from the Ranger Hall of Fame. The belt and holster is another story; the cartridge belt which is floral tooled with a California clip point buckle was hand stamped under the reapplied cartridge loops we can read "JEFF VAUGHAN" and "STATE RANGER", each letter hand stamped one at a time. Additionally, the letters "E", "X" and "S" are visible under the cartridge loops and one can only assume that the letters "T" and "A" are obscured by the rivets holding the cartridge loops. Apparently the cartridge loops needs repair and this repair covers part of the name, but it is still visible. The holster is a Texas-Mexican border type with the hammer snap, single loop, leather laced full tooled, not maker marked but definitely of the era in which he was in actual service with the rangers, circa 1913 to 1920, and has seen hard use by the numerous repairs and wear. There is no doubt that this belt was worn by him on the border during his turbulent tenure in Marfa. So we have here a firearm obtained after his careers due to his interest in firearms along with a belt from his prime era of service that would hold a 5 - 1/2" Colt Single Action Army or 1878 Double Action; although the wear pattern of the holster matches that of a Smith & Wesson No. 3 revolver. Cartridge loops are for a large caliber. The condition of the gun is as follows: cylinder flutes still have some blue; barrel and frame retains approximately 40% blue. There is a bulge in the barrel approximately 3-1/2" from breech. Grips are very good. Needs some mechanical attention, as when the hammer comes down it does not move forward all the way enough for the firing pin to strike the primer, but does index and lock up properly. An interesting gun, a far more interesting period holster from Texas Rangers days, and a fascinating Texas Ranger history.Accessories : Belt & HolsterBarrel Length: 6 - 1/2"Caliber/Bore: .44 RussianFFL Status: AntiqueManufacturer: Smith & WessonModel: No. 3Paperwork : No Serial Number: 31070

While it is true that the Winchester calanders were meant to be thrown away at the end of every new season, they were available to the general public and could be mailed to your house upon request, whereas the posters were not generally available to the public, but were intended for use at dealers stores and or retailers, thus far fewer were produced. Given their fragile nature, if they were not thrown out, they did not store well and therefore very few have survived the ravages of time such as bugs, sunlight, dry rot, mildew, etc. This poster will be the focal point of your gunroom.

Spectacular Circa 1890's Colt Frontier Six Shooter Presentation Display Case.

Lot #1129 (Sale Order 528 of 531)

Few such cases are extant. This case will house a 7-1/2” etched panel or fancy engraved circa 1890 Colt Single Action Army Frontier Six Shooter revolver and .44 cartridge box. We know of no others coming to market without a gun. This case is similar to other Panel Scene cases that contain famous scarce Panel Scene Colt Single action Army’s. We attribute this case to Hartley & Graham of New York, due to the outer construction, the ribbon on inside that is printed in gold COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER", the satin lining, the cord piping, bunched finish; similar examples can be seen "The Story of Merwin Hulbert & Company Firearms" by Art Phelps, First Edition on pages 58, 63, 64, 68 and 69, albeit the majority of these has cartridge blocks and this example has a space for a box of cartridges. As to condition, this case is fine as restored; all original except cord and left leather loop to handle. The case was acquired from Ray Bentley about 3 years ago and went thru extensive restoration. The blue satin remains bright with little to no fading, a few oil and scuff marks. Display ribbon is sharp as new. Corners on the box are intact and tight. Exterior is period textured leather pattern cloth and shows only minor surface wear. An extraordinary opportunity to purchase that special case for your Colt Frontier Six Shooter.
