Lot: 4088 - THE PINNACLE TRAPPER: OUTSTANDING, ORIGINAL, AND

POSSIBLY THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE ATF EXEMPTED 14" WINCHESTER MODEL 92 LEVER ACTION "TRAPPER" SADDLE RING CARBINE. Cal. 44 W.C.F. S# 982509. Mfg. 1926 according to table in "The Blue Book of Gun Values". Living somewhere between civilization and the wilderness, early woodsmen, trappers and mountain men traversed through endless forests, raging rivers and vast mountain ranges. These frontiersmen and pioneers survived in harsh environments, battling the elements while stripped down to the bare essentials. In this life where every ounce carried can be the difference between life and death, the trapper carbine would prove advantageous over its full length cousin. Winchester's line of "Trapper" Carbines were designed as a compact variation that was easier to carry and transport, yet would still pack the same punch as full length models. These rare carbines often saw hard use and abuse being simply a "Tool of the Trade" for trappers and mountain men alike. "The Blue Book of Gun Values Thirty-Eighth Edition" by S. P. Fjestad Pg. 2242, states "This variation is almost never encountered over 30% condition – most are brown guns". It is also noted that the majority of Model 1892 "Trapper" Carbines were manufactured with 15" barrels and were shipped to South America or Australia. These carbines were manufactured in barrel lengths of 18", 16", 15", 14" and 12". This carbine is listed as exempt on the ATF Curio & Relics list, which is a requirement for any rifle with a barrel length less than 16". This carbine features a full blue metal finish. Barrel 14" with carbine post front sight and original sporting rear sight. Top of receiver and barrel stamped with "WP" proof marks. Left side of barrel marked "-MODEL 92-WINCHESTER-44 W.C.F." Banded walnut forearm measures 7 7/8" (1 1/8" shorter than standard which is correct). Walnut buttstock with carbine buttplate. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: BATFE letter of exemption listing this carbine by serial number. CONDITION: Outstanding overall. This investment condition trapper carbine retains over 95% of its original factory blue with slight thinning on buttplate, scattered spots of minor flaking, and light haloing from carbine ring. Stock and forearm retain 98% original finish with only a couple minor handling marks and impressions; forend corners are sharp. Bore is mirror bright with crisp rifling. Mechanically excellent. The fact that this carbine, which was manufactured 100 years ago and was designed for the rigorous daily life of early 20th century trappers and mountain men, remains in such original high condition is so unbelievable that it cannot be overstated. This 14" ATF exempted trapper is truly worthy of a place in the most advanced Winchester collections. (26-2211/BH) CURIO. $50,000-80,000.

SHOTGUN FROM THE REMINGTON ARCHIVES. Cal 12 Ga. NSN. L.L. Hepburn submitted various patents through the late 1800's for a pump shotgun.

This shotgun comes with a Certificate of Authenticity dated Aug. 22, 2005 from the Gun Repair Center stating this shotgun was acquired from Remington & autherized to Market Selected Firearms from the Illion Archives, R&D Gun Library and Engineering lab; Remington acquired Marlin in 2007.

Lot: 4234 - RARE AND UNIQUE DOCUMENTED "DUAL TONE" COLT SAA

FLAT TOP TARGET REVOLVER CHAMBERED IN 44 RUSSIAN. Cal. 44 Russian. S# 162884. According to " THE 36 CAILBERS OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY" By David M Brown on page 10, there were only 923 standard frame flat top target single action revolvers produced. Page 94 lists a total of 51 that were manufactured in 44 Russian. Total production of the 44 Russian chambering across all configurations is 154. That alone would make this an exceptionally rare and desirable revolver however this example left the factory with a unique "Dual tone" finish. Accompanying factory letter lists the finish as nickel with a note stating that the revolver left the factory with a blued barrel. Subject revolver is pictured in " THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER 1873-1895" By Wilkerson on page 394. This reference lists a total of 106 flat top targets manufactured; 8 are listed 7 1/2" nickel. Factory record lists this revolver as a 44 S&W, this is likely an error as there are numerous instances and confusion in regards to the exact chamberings in Colts records regarding the 44 Russian vs S&W chambering. Cylinder is observed to be counterbored, leaving a slight shoulder towards the front. Colts initial offering of the 44 S&W cartridge did not take place until 1913, 2 years after this gun was shipped. Bbl 7 1/2" with target sights. Left side of bbl stamped "44 RUSSIAN CTG.". Nickel plated frame, cylinder trigger guard frame and backstrap. Revolver is stocked with 2 piece mother of pearl grips.

Mechanically excellent, all four clicks present. A very scarce target model chambered in the rare 44 Russian caliber with the hardly ever seen factory dual tone finish.

SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER OF CALDWELL HART COLT, SON OF SAMUEL COLT. Cal. .45 Colt. S# 81350.Caldwell Hart Colt (1858–1894), son of Samuel and Elizabeth Colt, was the only Colt child to reach adulthood. Caldwell did not know his father well—Samuel Colt died in 1862 when his son was not yet four years old—but he inherited the great industrialist's determination, daring, and taste for adventure. After reaching his majority, Caldwell became a director and later Vice President of Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company. While the company was important to him, his greatest passion was yachting. Caldwell Colt was among the foremost American yachtsmen of the late nineteenth century. A serious and accomplished competitor, he earned a reputation for fortitude, seamanship, and sportsmanship under demanding conditions. Whether setting records or pressing on through foul weather and adversity, Caldwell was known as a man who did not quit. His peers recognized him for his accomplishments and leadership by electing him Commodore of the Larchmont Yacht Club and Vice-Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. Following an unsuccessful operation for throat cancer, Caldwell Colt died in Punta Gorda, Florida, on January 21, 1894, at age thirty-five. His remains were returned to New York by sea, where fleets of yachts paraded to pay tribute. He was buried from the Church of the Good Shepherd, Hartford, built by his mother, Elizabeth Colt, as a memorial to Samuel Colt. The eulogy delivered by the Commodore of the Larchmont Yacht Club still hangs in the club's boardroom, and nearby sits the signal cannon from Caldwell's yacht, Dauntless. The revolver has been professionally restored and exhibits a full nickel finish with niter-blued screws, trigger, and cylinder pin. The two-piece hard-rubber Eagle grips are original to the revolver. Serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and butt match. Barrel 7½" with blade front sight.UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Colt factory letter documenting shipment to C.H.

This outstanding Single Action Army represents a rare opportunity to acquire a revolver with unquestioned Colt family provenance. (01-28285/BH). ANTIQUE. $10,000-15,000.

The only portions of this revolver that is not covered with the engraving is the hammer, an area of the recoil shield, both straps, and flutes.

Lot: 4366 - VERY RARE REMINGTIN NO. 5 ROLLING BLOCK SPORTING

RIFLE. Cal. 30 US (30-40 Krag). S# 5-61. Barrel 30" tapered with combination globe front sight, dovetail blank in rear seat and tang sight on upper tang. Top of barrel stamped "30 U.S.A.". Introduced in 1898, the No. 5 sporting & target rifles were designed for the new smokeless ammunition. As advertised this new line of rifles was capable of handling high pressure loads utilizing smaller cartridges that would produce equal or better stopping power than their black powder counterparts. Chamberings included 30-30 smokeless, 7mm, 30 U.S. Army, 32-40 High Pressure Marlin & 32 Win Spcl. While these No. 5's bear striking similarities to many of their military counterparts of the time, as noted on page 297 of "Remington Rolling Block Rifles, Carbines and Shotguns SPORTING AND TARGET RIFLES" by Roy Marcot "It is incorrect to refer to Remington Model 1897, Model 1901 or Model 1914 Military Rifles and Carbines as No. 5's. This designation was reserved solely for Remington No. 5 Sporting & Target rifles.". Production of this model was extremely limited with public preference leaning toward repeating firearms. Manufacturing of the No. 5 ceased in 1904 with only 198 rifles produced making these exceptionally scarce today. Case hardened rolling block action. Smooth walnut schnable tipped forend with ebony insert & straight grip stock having steel buttplate. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Aforementioned reference book is included with this rifle.
