Lot: 2064 - HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER VICKERS-ARMSTRONG 276 PEDERSEN

SEMI-AUTO MILITARY RIFLE. Cal. 276. S# 89. Bbl is 23 7/8". This scarce rifle was designed by John D. Pedersen to use the .276 cartridge and was developed to compete with the Garand rifle in hopes of its adoption by the US Army. Both the Pedersen and Garand rifles were initially chambered for this cartridge. The .276 cartridge has an external hard wax type lubrication in order to function with the delayed blowback Pedersen rifle. Ultimately the decision was made not to adopt the Pedersen package but to stick with the 30-06 cartridge already in service. The Garand design was scaled up to accept the 30-06 and the Pedersen cartridge and rifle were not adopted. Around 1929 the Vickers-Armstrong firm in England tooled up to produce these rifles but they were not adopted by the British Army. A number of countries tested the rifle and its cartridge including China, Portugal and Japan. The rifle is marked on top of the receiver with a "C2" in an oval. Serial number is located at the right rear. Left side of receiver is marked "PEDERSEN SELF-LOADER PA / VICKERS-ARMSTRONG'S LTD.".

LIGHT RIFLE. Cal. 9mm. S# 2112. Bbl. 10". Smith & Wesson began its journey in the light rifle business in 1939 when they were contacted by the British Gov't. searching for a lightweight military carbine. A very short blowback operated open bolt system was chambered in 9mm Luger which was already common in the British arsenal & prototypes submitted for consideration. Without extensive testing the British Gov't. placed an order for the new model 1940 rifle, transferring $1,000,000.00 to Smith & Wesson. Shortly after receiving them, problems relating to the more powerful loaded British 9mm ammo started to arise & Smith & Wesson made some immediate design changes.

Great Britain cancelled the order a short while later & just over 1,000 total firearms were sold & shipped. At Smith & Wesson just over 200 receivers had been completed & placed into storage & where they sat until the mid 1970s when these rifles were classified by BATFE as Curios & Relics. Just under 150 MKI variants & just under 100 MKII variants were finished & sold in the United States sporting market. Bbl. is fluted & tapered w/ a non adj. front blade sight.

Lot: 2109 - RARE AND DESIRABLE CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED, ALL

MATCHING PAIR OF REMINGTON MODEL 81 "SPECIAL POLICE" SEMI AUTO RIFLES. Cal. Both 35 Rem. Both mfg. June, 1942. Following the prohibition era of the 1920s when gangsters, bootleggers and criminals seemed to consistently overwhelm their law enforcement counterparts with firepower and sheer magazine capacity, it was clear that service revolvers and other standard issue weaponry were in serious need of an upgrade if law enforcement officials were to keep up. The "Special Police" conversion is viewed as their response.Initially developed in the 1930s as a conversion for the Model 8, the upgrade consisted of a detachable magazine of either 5, 10 or 15 rounds along with an extended forearm which was necessary to manage the recoil produced from firing in rapid succession, especially in the potent 35 Remington. The conversion was initially produced by the Peace Officer Equipment Company stationed in St. Joseph, MO. In 1936, following the introduction of the improved Model 81, Remington licensed the conversion with little success and would only manage to sell several hundred. Individually, these rifles adorn serious consideration from collectors. To have a consecutively numbered pair, complete with matching magazines is enough to give pause for any collector regardless of personal interest. Both rifles marked on left side of receiver "POLICE GUN-PROPERTY OF SPARROWS POINT POLICE DEPT". Both rifles feature a full blue metal finish with sporting sights. Smooth walnut 11 1/4" forends with pistol grip buttstocks having checkered steel Remington buttplates. MAGS: both with original matching numbered 15 rd. detachable mags.1) S# 20870.

PISTOL WITH BOX, AMMO & 1943 DATED PARACHUTE. Cal. 45 ACP. NSN. The FP-45 (clandestine designation "Flare Pistol") This particular piece comes with a interesting story illustrating their use in France, which has always been a mystery, Consignor shares the following story of how he came in possession of part of this lot: "In late 2020, around the beginning of Coved, an old veteran visited the museum. His daughter was his companion, bringing him to a VA medical visit and stopping on the way there. He was a tall man with a veterans hat and quite gruff. After gently going down memory lane a bit, looking at pieces he recognized from his time in WWII, he noticed a Liberator pistol. He said that in 1944 he company was going through France. It was overcast & the air carried the stench of death. There were a lot of dead horses as well as human casualties from the devastation that rolled through just before their arrival. He noticed a single tree that appeared almost untouched, which stuck out against the rubble all around it. He thought it was decorated with white Christmas Balls. Early one morning, he ventured back through the rubble out of curiosity and was standing in a demolished building doorway, where that was the only surviving part of the entire building, almost like you would see in a cartoon. As he approached the tree he noticed the shrapnel damage on the tree and the hanging items he thought were white Christmas balls turned out to be little parachutes, each with a waxy box wrapping containing 2 Liberator pistols, each. He picked a few from the tree and brought them home. Over the years as he matured the kids played with the Liberators and their current location is unknown, but he still had the parachutes, which he delivered to the museum. One of them is included with this grouping. Unfortunately, he passed shortly thereafter". The Liberator pistol was proposed, developed, and began mass production at the U.S. Guide Lamp Division of General Motors in only 11 weeks, with the Joint Psychological Warfare Committee intending on air dropping loads of Liberator pistols to resistance and partisan groups in German occupied countries during World War II. The Liberator was never designed to be used for more than just a few shots, with its main purpose serving as a rudimentary, easily concealable, and cost effective pistol for resistance fighters to use against enemy personnel in order to secure more effective small arms.

Lot: 2198 - FASCINATING SEALED GOLD WWII ESCAPE & EVASION KIT

WITH XRAY. S#1811. This exciting find dates back to WWII as a life saving solution designed by the U.S. Navy to assist pilots downed over enemy territory in reuniting with friendly forces. There were two primary Escape and Evasion kits, often referred to as "Barter Kits" developed, one for the European Theater and the other for the Pacific. Each kit contained around 1 oz. of gold in items that could be bartered for their return to safety. The European kit offered here was encased in a sealed rubber block measuring 4.5"x3.5"x.75". These kits contained approximately .90 oz. of gold and typically consisted of gold coins and rings. The rubber case is embossed "IF FOUND RETURN TO COMNAVAIRLANT (ONAL 34) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA" on both sides with the S# 1811 in electric pencil. The rubber is extremely dense yet remains pliable. Coin denominations were typically half and 1 pound gold sovereigns with 20 and 10 franc gold coins. The kit designed for the Pacific Theater typically contained gold rings, a gold embossed pendant, a short gold chain and a multi-jeweled Swiss calendar watch. The Pacific kit, unlike the European contained approximately 1.08 oz. of gold and was housed in a plastic container that was much easier to open. After the war these kits were put in storage where they sat undisturbed until 1979 when the price of gold started making notable gains in value. The price of gold had risen from approximately from $25. per oz. at the time of their design to as high as $900 per oz. during this period. When the Defense Property Disposal Service offered these kits to be available by public auction they immediately caught the attention of the numismatic collectors. Four auctions were held in 1979 and 1980 by sealed bid with minimum bids tied directly to current price of gold. At the time of the first auction in 1979 gold was at $256.50 per oz., climbing to $900 before settling back to $508 by the 3rd auction in 1980. The kit available in this event, housed in rubber presented enough of a challenge to open that the Defense Dept. provided detailed instructions to gain access utilizing 2 suggested methods. The first method uses acetone while the second suggested liquid nitrogen. Perhaps the most exciting part of this extremely collectible WWII artifact is the fact it is still sealed and unopened so we went the extra mile and had it X-rayed to show exactly what it's contents are. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: X-ray of contents. PROVENANCE: Military Museum Collection of Shooters Outpost, Hooksett NH. (02-26770/JZ). $8,000-12,000.

Lot: 2229 - ATTRACTIVE, DWM 1900 AMERICAN EAGLE UNITED STATES

MILITARY TEST LUGER WITH CORRECT MAGAZINE. Cal. 7.65mm Luger. S#6968. The US Test Lugers were largely produced in a 1,000 unit block serialed from 6100-7100. All with a 4 3/4" barrel, the American Eagle crest, safety lever with small checkered head, thin grip safety and uniformly checkered walnut grips. In contrast to the concurrently produced commercial Lugers, the US Test pistols were never stamped "GERMANY" and the last two digits of the serial number were stamped on the right side of the takedown lever axle. While this example shares those features, a number of parts are mismatched, likely when the military checked parts interchangeability amongst various pistols.

Bright bore with sharp rifling. Correct manual mechanics. A beautiful-looking, original finish 1900 DWM American Eagle U.S. Military Test Luger whose mismatched parts are more likely an attestation to military testing than a reflection of damaged part replacement.

"SAMPLE" U.S. LUGER HOLSTER, PHOTOGRAPHED & DESCRIBED IN "U.S. MILITARY HOLSTERS AND PISTOL CARTRIDGE BOXES", BY MEADOWS. Shortly after the completion of 1,005 Luger holsters by Rock Island Arsenal for the U.S. Test Trials Lugers, a second design was submitted by that of Colonel H.H. Whitney. The holster, while similar holsters produced at RIA, was notably smaller, and was designed to carry the butt of the pistol to the rear (butt to rear), as compared to the from, which was a design philosophy that had already been previously rejected. Ultimately the design was rejected, with this holster possibly being the only example produced. The holster is comprised of brown russet leather, featuring a brass closure flap stud and 6 brass rivets on the rear, fastening the belt loop. There appears to have been a flat panel installed at the end of the toe (indicated by stitch marks), which is absent, Closure flap is embossed with "US" within an oval, with a line of illegible handwritten text written on the interior in black ink. This example (matched via wear and handling marks) is pictured and briefly described on page 241 of "U.S. Military Holsters and Pistol Cartridge Boxes" by Edward Scott Meadows.

Lot: 2286 - SCARCE FINNISH DWM M/08 LUGER SEMI-AUTOMATIC

PISTOL. Cal. 9x19mm. S# 8482o. Bbl. 3 15/16". Finding shortcomings with their domestically designed Ahlberg pistol, as well as encountering issues with France's Ruby pistol, the Finnish Ministry of Defense went to DWM in hopes of acquiring a contract for the P.08 Luger. DWM, constrained by the Treaty of Versailles could not provide Finland with the P.08, but could still offer them the Model 1920 Commercial Luger chambered in 7.65x21mm Parabellum. Finland ultimately agreed, designating the 7.65x21mm Luger as the "M/23" and subsequently rebarreled a small number of Lugers for the 9x19mm Parabellum, which were designated as the "M/08". In 1941 Finland ordered a number of replacement parts from Mauser to repair their M/23 and M/08 Lugers. By 1951, Finnish arsenals only retained approx. 341 M/08 Lugers, largely owing to their scarcity today. This example, an M/08 Luger, features Mauser production bbl. extension marked with the 2-digit year of mfg. "41" marked on the chamber. Toggle is marked with the intertwined "DWM" monogram logo. Left side of the breechblock is marked with a Crown/N commercial nitro proof. Finnish replacement bbl. is marked with the Tikka logo towards the breech.

Looking to update their current military sidearm and being unsatisfied with the domestically designed Ahlberg pistol, the Finnish Ministry of Defense went to DWM in hopes of acquiring a contract for the P.08 pistol. DWM, unable to fulfill this request due to the Treaty of Versailles, could only offer Finland the Model 1920 Commercial Luger chambered in 7.65x21mm Parabellum (.30 Luger). Ultimately, the Finnish Ministry of Defense accepted 8,000 of these Model 1920 Lugers, designating them as the "M/23". Subsequently a small number of M/23 Lugers were rebarreled for the 9x19mm cartridge, being designated as the "M/08".

FIRST 20 (ESTIMATED) PISTOLS ASSEMBLED/SET BY BERN IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DEVELOPING THE 1900/29 LUGER. Cal. 30 Luger. S# V11. In 1929, the Bern Factory was asked to develop an alternative to the "too expensive" M1924 then in production. To address that concern, approximately 50 pistols were set aside for review. The first group, numbered from V1-V21, V=Versuch (Test), were based upon previously produced pistols such as the DWM M1899/1900, M1900, and M1906. Examples of each are pictured and described in the "Parabellum" book by Vittorio Bobba. The balance of the group, from V18-V51 are considered the pre-series of the new Model 1929. As one might expect from a series of experimental pistols, differences often exist between individual samples, giving each of these guns a unique identity. V11 is based upon a M1906 DWM Luger with the typical 4.75" tapered barrel with drift adjustable sight, Cross-in-Sunburst over chamber, an intertwined DWM on the forward toggle link, the classic three-quarter circle wide trigger, takedown lever with checkered head, the ergonomic protrusion on the front strap, safety lever with small fluted head, lanyard on rear frame, and uniformly fine-checkered walnut grips. The majority of the parts are numbered "22", including the barrel extension, takedown lever, sideplate, trigger, breech block, front toggle link, grip safety, and each of the grip panels. The remaining parts are largely marked "V11" including the barrel, left side of frame, and the rear toggle link. Firing pin, rear toggle pin and the hold open lever are unnumbered as typical for these pistols. No noted import marks. Major components rust blued, small parts strawed with fire blued grip screws. MAGS: x1 standard Swiss M1900/M1906 mag. with unnumbered tin body and wood plug with aluminum discs. CONDITION: near excellent with 95% original rust blue, good haloing of Swiss cross on right side of barrel, showing sharp edge wear in the usual areas with scattered handling marks and a few oxidative speckles and tiny dings, largely on the front strap. Strawed parts with expected thinning, especially on forward takedown lever and face of trigger, no suggestion of enhancement. Negligible discoloration of the in-the-white area under the safety lever. Grips with oil staining, fine checkering, no splits or cracks. Excellent magazine, the plug pin showing no suggestion of having been removed. Mirror bright bore. Correct manual mechanics.

Rare DWM 1900 Swiss Luger, this example one of the special "Extra-Series" pistols found in the serial range E550-E770, whose purpose remains controversial, most authorities citing special presentation/shooting prize/instructional purpose, though at least a hundred were later renumbered with an "A" suffix and issued to the military. This example, "E756" has a 4 3/4 inch tapered barrel with drift adjustable front sight, Swiss Cross-in-Sunburst over the chamber, narrow trigger, safety lever with small fluted head, broad grip safety, and a late configuration grip safety, frame and magazine. Full serial number with the E prefix is on the forward frame and under the barrel. The serial number or the last two digits are under the takedown lever, sideplate, trigger, barrel extension lug, and all the usual components of the toggle train. The grip safety is unnumbered as are both of the walnut checkered, inspected grips. MAGS: x1 correct 8-rd. mag. with tinned body, fire-blued retaining pin and unmarked walnut plug with aluminum discs. CONDITION: many of the early Swiss Lugers, including the E-series guns, were routinely reworked in the Swiss arsenal. In the course of the reworking, the guns were often given upgraded features, frequently having their frames modified to accept the later design magazines with raised follower button. This gun is no exception, now with crisp 99% arsenal reworked rust blue with negligible handling marks, 95% enhanced straw. The unnumbered grip safety is of a later wider form and the crisp, unnumbered grips are arsenal replacements. Excellent original magazine. Mirror bright bore. Correct manual mechanics. A super rare and super desirable "Extra-Serie" pistol, fewer than 100 "in the wild," seldom offered for sale! PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of John Eckert. (26-2226/LMA). CURIO. $5,500-8,500.

Unlike most pistols, these barrels were not serial numbered to the guns, but were numbered in their own separate range, each barrel length independently and sequentially numbered from 1-20. This particular Bern 1929 Luger is in the Commercial series and has been fitted with a 200 millimeter barrel (7 7/8 inches), BP proofed, the SN: "4" marked on bottom, with an adjacent Swiss acceptance. The balance of the pistol is made and marked as per the Commercial series with a Swiss Cross-in-Shield on the forward toggle link, standard U-notch rear sight, and the "P" prefix serial number on the left rail and rear toggle link, the last three digits under the sideplate and on the barrel extension lug. The year "44" is in the forward frame recess, month not clearly discernible, though it may be a "4". Simpson LTD import mark discreetly applied in the magazine plug cutout. Fitted with dark chocolate brown checkered plastic grips. MAGS: x1 correct 8-rd. mag. with a matching colored chocolate brown base. CONDITION: bright 98+% Bern arsenal blue with faint sharp edge wear, slight fading of the sideplate hump, and a few miniscule marks as one might expect from a carefully handled target pistol. Comparable condition grips, the mold markings and checkering sharp, no discernible losses or splits. Grip screws with straight slots. Excellent magazine. Near mirror bore. Correct manual mechanics. An absolutely wonderful Waffenfabrik Bern 1929 Commercial Luger with special order 200mm target barrel, made in 1944, seldom offered for sale. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of John Eckert.

Lot: 2299 - SCARCE ORIGINAL COPY OF THE FIRST PUBLISHED

LUGER MANUAL (SWISS REGULATION PATTERN 1900). Believed to have been produced in in mid-1901 (likely after the Swiss contract had been delivered and commercial production of the "Parabellum" pistol began), this pattern manual was the first factory literature to be produced for the Luger pistol, and as with the initial manuals produced for Borchardt's C93, was only printed in English. The notable contents include: "Constituent Parts", "Dimensions", disassembly & assembly instructions, as well as pictorials of cartridge cavity expansion, diagram / part lists, and trajectory information. Of particular interest is DWM's flattery of the U.S. military, stating "Undoubtedly Switzerland, which, like the United States of America, has been for several decades in the front rank with regard to improvements in fire-arms, looking always for the best for the country, has given again the proof of a great progress regarding the problem of armament". By October of 1901, the Model 1900 Lugers would be delivered to America with these manuals accompanying them, as this was the only manual available at the time. CONDITION: manual has acquired a mellow age related coloration, with some spots of darker discoloration and minor staining present overall. Paper cover is partially torn along the spine, with a couple of the pictorial pages similarly torn at junction points. Cover shows several creases at corners, as well as some minor tattering along edges. Interior text and graphics remain clear and easily legible. An attractive example of the first production run of Luger manuals. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of John Eckert. (02-26542-1/MLW). NON-GUN. $500-800.
