Lot: 3000 - Special Order Winchester Second Model 1876 "Centennial" Rifle

Special Order Winchester Second Model 1876 "Centennial" Lever Action Rifle with Highly Desirable Casehardened Receiver and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1881, this is a very fine example of Winchester's "Centennial" rifle with the highly desirable special ordered casehardened receiver. These rifles were introduced to the public the same year the United States was celebrating its centennial and were essentially marketed as a larger more powerful version Winchester's already legendary Model 1873. The more powerful calibers offered for the Model 1876 were sought out by many with their eyes set westward who felt that .44-40 might not be capable of handling the dangers they might face on the frontier. The included factory letter lists this rifle with an octagon barrel, plain trigger, "sling and swivel", and casehardened finish when received at the warehouse on 21 July 1881 and shipped the following day to order no. 21132. The special ordered casehardened receiver on this example is of the Second Model type with the dust cover guide retained with two screws and the dust cover with serrations at the rear. Winchester author George Madis notes that only one out of every nine Model 1876s was ordered with the casehardened receiver. This example has the standard Winchester markings including correctly lacking caliber markings as the only caliber initially offered for the model was .45-75 W.C.F. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight, an "1876" marked folding ladder rear sight, and factory sling swivels on the forearm cap and bottom of the stock. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate containing an included five-piece metal cleaning rod. Also includes a photocopy of the original ledger listing.

Lot: 3001 - Antique Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine in .44-40 WCF

Antique Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine in Desirable .44-40 W.C.F. Per the Madis serial number data published by Winchester, this carbine is legally an antique. The Winchester Collectors Association indicates the carbine was manufactured in 1900. An included Cody Firearms Museum research request indicates that this carbine was in .44 caliber when received at the warehouse on 16 August 1900 and shipped on 22 August 1900 to order no. 68479. These carbines continued to see widespread use in the American West well into the 20th century, meaning many examples did not survive to this day. This example has standard markings. It is fitted with a pinned German silver blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Lot: 3002 - Antique Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle

Attractive Special Order Antique Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1896, this is a highly attractive example of a deluxe Winchester Model 1886 rifle. The powerful Model 1886 was the first of multiple legendary lever action repeater designs that the iconic American firearms designer John Moses Browning produced for Winchester. These rifles were capable of handling many of the most powerful calibers of the period including the U.S. government standard .45-70 and the .40-82 W.C.F., making them a very welcome companion in the wilds of the American West. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .45-70 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received in the warehouse on 13 October 1896 and shipped the following day to order no. 20713. This rifle was subsequently rebarreled with a Winchester factory produced barrel in .40-82 W.C.F. sometime during the period of use, with the barrel having quite possibly been fitted at the factory despite no "return and repair" date listed in the factory letter. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line Winchester address and the caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang has the model marking while the lower tang has the two-line patent dates and the serial number. The left side of the lower tang is marked "120 XX", with "120" repeated in the stock inlet and inside the buttplate. The left side of the upper tang is marked "25", which may be an assembly number or date for when the rifle was rebarreled. It is fitted with a beaded blade front sight (bead absent) and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a very nicely figured forearm and pistol grip stock, both with factory H-pattern deluxe checkering, a hard rubber grip cap, and a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3003 - Scarce Special Order Smoothbore Winchester Model 1892 Rifle

Scarce and Highly Desirable Special Order Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle with Smoothbore Barrel Manufactured in 1911, this is a very scarce example of a Winchester Model 1892 rifle with a factory smoothbore barrel. Smoothbore revolvers, carbines, and rifles like this one were very popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s among exhibition shooters, particularly for trap style shooting of glass target balls, clays, and other airborne items. Knowledgeable collectors believe that only 55 of these smoothbore Model 1892s were produced within the first 289,000 guns produced, many of which saw extensive use on the exhibition circuits and likely didn't survive. The trick-shooters would use special shot cartridges with these smoothbore guns, allowing the shooters to "wow" crowds with incredible aerial trick shots, with most of the crowd assuming the shots were made with standard bullets. Some examples of the glass target balls are in the following lot, and the shot cartridges are in the lot after that, presenting an incredible opportunity to add a full set of exhibition shooting items to one's collection. There are Winchester factory oval proofs on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The upper left flat of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and patent date, as well as the caliber marking at the breech. The bore correctly measures at .43 caliber as the barrels were pulled off the line before rifling grooves were cut. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model and trademark information, and the bottom of the receiver is marked with the serial number. It is fitted with a German silver No. 21 blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3004 - Three Scarce and Attractive 19th Century Glass Target Balls

Three Scarce and Attractive 19th Century Glass Target Balls Invented in the early to mid-1800s, the glass target ball was a popular aerial gunnery target, being light enough for easy launching and coming apart quite impressively when struck. Though displaced for general use by the invention of the clay pigeon, the glass ball held a niche with exhibition shooters, sometimes being loaded with feathers or similar filler to make the breaks even more eye catching. While produced in quantity, as a consumable asset literally made to be broken, few have made it to the present day in one piece. Offered here are three examples of this very attractive target, two in blue and one in a desirable orange-yellow. The darker of the two blue examples is marked for the Van Cutsem glass works of St. Quentin, France. The other two examples do not have maker's marks, with the blue one having an attractive latticed structure. Manufacturer: None Model: None Class: Other

Lot: 3005 - Three 50-Count Boxes of Centerfire Shot Cartridges

Three Highly Desirable 50-Count Boxes of Centerfire Shot Cartridges for Smoothbore Model 1892 Rifles Manufactured c. the late 19th to early 20th century, this grouping contains three 50-count boxes of rare and highly desirable centerfire shot cartridges. Cartridges such as this were used in smoothbore guns such as the Winchester Model 1892 rifle in the previous lot, primarily by exhibition shooters to perform impressive aerial shots, often on targets such as the glass target balls found in the preceding lot. This ammunition, along with that Model 1892 and the target balls could essentially make for an instant collection. Two of these boxes were produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., with one having red labeling while the other has green and orange labels and remains factory sealed. The third box of cartridges is by American Metallic Cartridge Co. and contains .38-40 W.C.F. cartridges in a box with black and white labeling. The two Winchester boxes contain the full complement of cartridges while the American Metallic Cartridge Co. box contains all but one cartridge. Note: will ship to FFLs only. If picking up must have FOID or FFL. All state and local laws apply. Manufacturer: None Model: None Class: Other

Lot: 3007 - Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Excellent Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1889, this is an excellent example of "the gun that won the West", Winchester's Model 1873. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .32 caliber with a round barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 24 December 1889 and shipped on 15 March 1890 to order no. 10226. These lever action repeaters became one of the most prolific long guns in the American West in part due to sharing many calibers with Colt's iconic Single Action Army revolver which was released the same year. These two rugged and dependable firearms forged their legacies in the midst of some of the most turbulent times of westward expansion, becoming synonymous with the frontier, and remaining American icons to this day. These 1873s, particularly in standard configuration often saw hard use as working guns in the unforgiving environment of the West, and are rarely found in high condition like this example. This particular rifle has the Third Model receiver with the integral dust cover guide and the dust cover having grip serrations at the rear. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and King's patent marking, as well as the caliber marking at the breech. The caliber marking is repeated on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The upper tang is marked with the model designation and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a German silver No. 21 blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3008 - Excellent Winchester Model 1894 Rifle in .38-55 W.C.F.

Excellent Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle in Highly Desirable .38-55 W.C.F. with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1903, this is an excellent example of the legendary, John Moses Browning designed Winchester Model 1894 rifle in the ever-desirable .38-55 W.C.F. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .38-55 caliber with a round barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 31 January 1903 and shipped on 14 August 1903 to order no. 195527. The Model 1894 was the most prolific of Winchester's lever actions, with more than 7,500,000 having been produced. About one quarter of the Model 1894 production up to around serial number 353,999 was chambered in .38-55 W.C.F. like this example, and it remains a popular caliber among collectors to this day. These Model 1894s, particularly standard configuration guns, were seen as utility guns and often saw hard use in the harsh environment of the American West well into the 20th century, leaving very few examples in high condition like this one. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and the caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model and trademark information, while the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3009 - Very Fine Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" Rifle

Very Fine Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1885, this is a truly exceptional example of the Winchester Model 1876 rifle, also famously known as Winchester's "Centennial" rifle due to the year of its release. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .40-60 caliber with a round barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 17 February 1885 and shipped on 24 February 1885 to order number 19241. The venerable '76 was designed as the big brother of Winchester's iconic Model 1873, capable of handling larger and more powerful cartridges. Given the growing reputation of the 1873, as well as the stronger chamberings available for the 1876, anyone considering the prospect of braving the wilds of the western frontier would have been happy to call a "Centennial" rifle their companion for the journey. Large numbers of these '76s saw extensive use in the West, leaving very few available to collectors in high condition like this. This particular example has the Third Model receiver with integral dust cover guide and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and the caliber marking at the breech, which is repeated on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The model designation is on the upper tang and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight, an "1876" marked folding ladder rear sight, and a peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3012 - Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Rifle

Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Rifle Manufactured in 1883, this is an attractive example of the iconic Winchester Model 1866 that was made when the American West was still very much wild. Many legendary firearms are often cited as "guns that won the West", however, there are perhaps no long guns more recognizable than the brass-framed Winchester Model 1866. These rifles simply have "the look" of having been there when the West was being tamed and many of them were carried for decades on the frontier by lawmen, cowboys, outlaws, Native Americans, gold prospectors, and settlers. With so many of these '66s seeing extensive service in the harsh environment of the western frontier, relatively few have survived for collectors today. This example is a Fourth Model, with the serial number marked in script digits at the tail of the lower tang. The standard two-line address and King's patent marking is on top of the barrel. It is fitted with a German silver No. 21 blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 22 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate containing an included four-piece metal cleaning rod.

The third model receiver has the integral dust cover guide and dust cover with the gripping serrations at the rear.

Lot: 3016 - WWI Russian Contract Winchester Model 1895 Musket with Bayonet

Desirable World War I Russian Contract Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Musket with Winchester Marked Bayonet The outbreak of World War I in August of 1914 seemed to have taken the Russian Empire by surprise. Though they had a standing army of over one million prior to the war, and quickly added over another three million conscripts, they remained completely incapable of supplying such vast formations with arms, ammunition, and equipment. These shortages drove the Tsar to searching for arms and supplies in almost any form, from nearly anywhere they could be acquired. The Russian government approached nearly all major American arms companies, including Colt for Government Model pistols, Remington and New England-Westinghouse for Mosin-Nagant rifles, and striking a deal with Winchester for 300,000 Model 1895 muskets manufactured to Russian specifications and chambered in 7.62x54R. By the time of the of the Russian Revolutions of February and October 1917, Winchester had virtually completed the contract. Many of these rifles were issued to Finnish and Baltic troops and saw hard use on the Eastern Front of World War I, through both revolutions of 1917, the civil war that followed, and some being shipped to Spain for use during their civil war of the 1930s, leaving relatively few surviving examples on the American market in any condition. This example was manufactured in 1916, the receiver having the distinguishing charger guides mounted on either side of the receiver. The standard Winchester markings are on the left of the receiver, upper tang, the serial number is on the lower tang, and Russian acceptance mark on the right of the receiver. The receiver ring has a Winchester oval proof and the "7.62/M.M." caliber marking. It is fitted with a pinned brass blade front sight and folding ladder rear sight. It is mounted with a musket length forearm and upper handguard, as well as a straight grip stock with Russian inspection stamp on the right and a trapdoor military pattern buttplate (cleaning rod not included). Includes a correct Winchester marked bayonet with scabbard and frog, as well as a "OULU" marked Finnish canvas sling.

Exceptional Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Musket in .44-40 W.C.F. Manufactured in 1903, this is an outstanding example of a Winchester Model 1873 musket. Out of a total production of around 720,000 Winchester Model 1873s, only about 5% or 36,000 Model 1873s were produced in musket configuration, with many fulfilling South American military and police contracts and never finding their way back to the North American collectors market, making them relatively quite scarce, particularly in high condition like this. It is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking on top of the barrel along with the caliber marking at the breech, which is repeated on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The model marking is on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang.

Lot: 3022 - Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe First Model 1873 Rifle

Attractive and Highly Desirable Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe First Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .44-40 W.C.F. with Casehardened Receiver and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1877, this is an attractive example of a highly desirable, special ordered, casehardened, deluxe Winchester First Model 1873 rifle. These early production Model 1873s found their way westward in large numbers, even in deluxe configurations like this one, laying the foundations that earned this model "the gun that won the West". According to the Winchester Collectors Association, only approximately 31,000 of these "First Model" 1873s were produced out of a total production of approximately 720,000, accounting for roughly 4% of the total, with far fewer surviving a hard life as a frontier working gun. These '73s in .44-40 W.C.F. were commonly paired with Colt's Frontier Six Shooter in the same caliber, making arguably the most iconic firearms duo in the American West. The included factory letter lists this rifle with an octagon barrel, plain trigger, casehardened, and a checkered stock when received at the warehouse on 22 October 1877 and shipped on 18 May 1878 to order no. 11863. In "The Winchester Book", author George Madis estimates that one in every 600 Model 1873s had special wood and one in every 700 had checkering. The highly attractive, special ordered, casehardened receiver is in the First Model configuration with integral dust cover guides on either side of the ejection port and a dust cover with the impressed checkered "thumbprint" grip area. The top of the barrel has the two-line address and King's patent marking, and the rifle correctly lacks caliber markings as the only caliber initially offered was the iconic .44-40 W.C.F. The upper tang has the model marking, while the serial number is on the lower tang. The left side of the lower tang is marked "X 399", while "399" is repeated in the stock inlet and inside the buttplate. It is fitted with a German silver No. 21 blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 22 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a very nicely figured forearm and straight grip stock, both with early pattern factory checkered grip areas, and a trapdoor crescent buttplate containing an included four-piece cleaning rod.

Lot: 3031 - Factory Engraved Marlin Deluxe Model 1881 Rifle in .45-70 Gov.

Antique Special Order Factory Panel Scene Engraved Marlin Deluxe Model 1881 Lever Action Rifle in Desirable .45-70 Government Manufactured in 1882, just the second year of production, this is a highly desirable example of a factory panel scene engraved Marlin Model 1881 rifle. The Model 1881 is historically significant in its own right as Marlin's first entry into the lever action market, as well as the first serious competitor to Winchester's repeater dominance. The Model 1881 design was based on patents from Andrew Burgess, H.F. Wheeler, E.A.F. Toepperwein, and John Marlin himself and was a robust repeater which was capable of handling some of the most powerful cartridges of the time including .38-55 and .45-70, outclassing even Winchester's large Model 1876. Many of these Model 1881s found their way to America's West, even in deluxe configurations such as this, seeing many years of hard use on the frontier and leaving few available to collectors today. The engraving on this rifle was almost certainly executed by factory Master Engraver Conrad F. Ulrich, a legendary artist of the late 19th century. It is noted that between 1881 and 1910, Ulrich was responsible for essentially all of Marlin's engraving work. The engraving on the rifle is a variation of the No. 1 pattern, with circular panel scenes on either side of the receiver, a buck on the left and a grizzly bear on the right, both surrounded by attractive floral scrollwork on a beaded background. The top flat of the period shortened barrel on this example strangely appears to have left the factory without the two-line address and patent date rollmark, while the caliber marking is at the breech. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver, left side of the upper and lower tang, front face of the stock wrist, and inside the buttplate. It is fitted with a Beach combination front sight and an elevation adjustable "buckhorn" notch rear sight. It is mounted with a nicely figured forearm and straight grip stock, both with factory No. B checkering, and fitted with a smooth steel curved buttplate.

The top flat of the special ordered part octagon barrel has the two-line address and patent dates, while the caliber marking is at the breech, and the smokeless steel marking is on the upper left flat. The top of the receiver has the Marlin safety marking, while the bottom has the serial number, and the model marking is on the upper tang. It is fitted with a Lyman beaded blade front sight, an elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a special ordered half magazine. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3033 - Antique Special Order Marlin Model 1881 Rifle in .45-70 Gov.

Fine Antique Special Order Marlin Model 1881 Lever Action Rifle in Highly Desirable .45-70 Government Manufactured in 1883, this is a fine example of an early production Marlin Model 1881 rifle in the highly desirable and powerful .45-70 Government. When introduced, these Marlins were the most powerful repeating rifle available, significantly outclassing Winchester's Model 1876. The design was based on patents from Andrew Burgess, H.F. Wheeler, E.A.F. Toepperwein, and John Marlin and was a robust repeater which was capable of handling some of the most powerful cartridges of the time, including the venerable .45-70, which had been adopted by the U.S. military as their standard rifle cartridge. By the time this rifle was produced, the .45-70 cartridge had a well-established reputation and would have been prevalent in the American West, making a rifle such as this a highly desirable frontier companion. The rifle has standard markings. It is fitted with a beaded blade front sight, an elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a Lyman peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and nicely figured straight grip stock with a smooth steel shotgun buttplate.

Lot: 3034 - Ladd & Smith California Retailer Big 50 Remington Buffalo Rifle

Desirable Ladd & Smith California Retailer Marked "Big 50" Remington Rolling Block Buffalo Rifle Remington's rolling block rifles were among the most powerful firearms of the late 19th century and were popular with sportsmen and hunters in the West where large caliber, hard hitting rifles were necessary to take big game like buffalo and grizzlies and were also used for long range engagements against human adversaries. Together with the Sharps Model 1874, the Remington rolling block was used to kill literally millions of buffalo in a short period of time. Ladd & Smith had a gun store and shooting gallery in San Francisco around 1876-1878. They advertised themselves as dealers/agents of Ballards, Remington, and Winchester rifles. In 1878, their venture was cut short when Thomas L. Smith was killed by a negligent discharge by his partner's brother when he was just 33. This helps narrow down when this rifle would have been in California. "L. & S." is stamped on the bottom of the lower tang, and "LADD & SMITH" is stamped on the left side of the lower tang under the stock. The left side of the upper tang has "89034," and the bottom of the barrel and front of the buttstock have "5959." The bottom of the barrel also has "50" (caliber) and "ST" (set trigger). Given the rifle is .50 caliber and was ordered with double set triggers, it may well have been purchased through Ladd & Smith and then taken east for hunting buffalo on the Great Plains. The barrel has a German silver blade front sight in a dovetailed base, an elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION N.Y." on top at the breech. The receiver is filed octagonal to match the barrel flats and has the patent markings on the left side. The set trigger is absent, but the front trigger remains installed. The forearm has a steel Schnabel style tip, and the straight wrist buttstock has a curved steel buttplate. Manufacturer: E.

Lot: 3037 - Desirable Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine

Desirable Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine This Winchester Model 1866 carbine was manufactured in 1870, when the majority of the American West remained untamed. Many legendary firearms forged a legacy in the West, however, there are perhaps no long guns more iconic than the Winchester Model 1866 carbine. These saddle ring carbines simply have "the look" of having been there when the West was being tamed and were carried for decades on the frontier by lawmen, cowboys, outlaws, Native Americans, gold prospectors, and settlers. These Winchester "Yellowboys" are not only a tangible piece of "Wild West" history but have truly become a piece of Americana as one of the iconic firearms of the period of Manifest Destiny. This example is a Third Model, with the serial number marked in block digits behind the trigger on the lower tang. The standard two-line address and King's patent marking is on top of the barrel. The left side of the receiver is lightly engraved and scratched with two five-pointed stars. It is fitted with a blade front sight, integral to the barrel band, a folding two-leaf rear sight, and the original saddle ring staple has been filed off the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Lot: 3038 - Mexico City Shipped Antique Colt Single Action Army in .44 Henry

Rare Well-Documented Wexell & DeGress Mexico City Shipped Antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver in Highly Desirable .44 Henry Rimfire with Factory Letters Offered here is a highly sought after Colt Single Action Army revolver chambered for the rare .44 Henry rimfire cartridge. Two included factory letters show differing shipment dates a day apart indicating a recording error. One of the factory letters (dated January 24, 1992) states the revolver was shipped on May 22, 1879, to Wexell & DeGress in Mexico City, Mexico, in .44 rimfire caliber, with blue finish and an unlisted barrel length and type of grip, as part of 10 guns of the same type in the shipment. The other included factory letter (dated December 19, 1985) lists the same shipment details although it shows a shipment date of May 23, 1879, and an unlisted finish. This is one of only 1,863 Colt Single Action Army revolvers recorded in factory ledgers as chambered for the .44 Henry rimfire cartridge per page 252 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by R.L. Wilson. These .44 Henry rimfire revolvers were only produced for a short period starting in 1875 in their own separate serial number sequence starting from 1 on up. By the time the .44 Henry rimfire was introduced into Single Action Army production the cartridge was already considered obsolete on the American market. Colt sold most of the .44 Henry rimfire production to Mexico and South America where the Henry and Winchester Model 1866 lever actions were still in active use. Nearly all of the revolvers saw hard use in harsh environments, lending to their rarity today. Moreover, the 7 1/2 inch barrel was not well received, and most specimens that have found their way back to the United States generally have a shortened barrel. Between 1888-1890 the Colt factory converted 107 of the .44 Henry rimfire revolvers to .22 Rimfire. The revolver has the distinctive hammer with rimfire firing pin secured by two pins and a rectangular hammer slot in the frame. It also has a period added centerfire hole in the recoil shield of the frame. The hammer at one time had a centerfire pin which has been removed and professionally returned to rimfire. The barrel has a blade front sight, the one-line Colt Hartford address on top, and small "44" caliber marking on the bottom. The left of the frame is marked with the three-line patent dates, and the trigger guard has "44 CAL" on the left side. The ejector rod has a bullseye head. Matching visible serial full numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, and butt, with matching partial "874" on the concealed area of the barrel and on the side of the cylinder. Assembly number "227" is marked on the loading gate. Fitted with a period lanyard ring on the butt. This exact revolver is pictured and mentioned by serial number on page 274 of "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia: Volume 2" by Keith Cochran.

Lot: 3044 - North-West Mounted Police Marked Winchester Model 1876 Carbine

Highly Desirable Documented North-West Mounted Police Marked Winchester Model 1876 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine Manufactured in 1882, this is a highly desirable example of a North-West Mounted Police issued Winchester Model 1876 saddle ring carbine. This particular carbine was part of a second batch of Winchester Model 1876 carbines purchased by Canada's North-West Mounted Police (N.W.M.P.) Formally established in 1873 in part in response to the uprising in the Red River Colony and later the Cypress Hills Massacre, the N.W.M.P. were a mobile and elite police force of around 300 men, quite similar to the early iterations of the famed Texas Rangers in the south. This small force was tasked with covering an area of approximately 118,610,000 acres, leaving troopers often isolated or heavily outnumbered in harsh and hostile territory, necessitating the significant firepower the Model 1876 provided. According to Phillips and Klancher in "Arms & Accoutrements of the Mounted Police", a total of 1,611 Model 1876 carbines were ordered for the N.W.M.P.; however, 500 of these were rerouted to the Department of Militia, with only 150 of those eventually making their way to the Mounted Police for a total of 1,211. Given the years of hard use in the extremely harsh environment that these carbines saw in the saddle with troopers of the N.W.M.P., many did not survive, leaving them considerably rare on today's collectors market in any condition. The carbine itself is listed by serial number in the previously mentioned book as having been issued to the N.W.M.P. It has the Second Model receiver with the dust cover guide retained by two screws and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and King's patent marking as well as the caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang has the model marking, while the lower tang is marked with the serial number. The caliber marking is repeated on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. It is fitted with a block blade front sight and the second pattern "Spanish meter" folding ladder rear sight as well as a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. The right side of the stock has the typical "N.W.M.P." marking in an arched banner over a branded "37", while the bottom of the stock just behind the lower tang is stamped "APP 37" for the Alberta Provincial Police.

These are significant as the first purpose built U.S. Army issued shotguns.

Lot: 3046 - David F. Clark Inspected U.S. Colt Single Action Army Revolver

David F. Clark Inspected U.S. Colt Single Action Army Revolver with John Kopec Letter Manufactured in 1880. The U.S. Ordnance Sub-Inspector during the 1880s period was David F. Clark, and his small "D.F.C." sub-inspection initials are stamped on the underside of the barrel, bottom of the frame above the serial number, side of the cylinder, and on the left butt of the grip. Renowned Colt historian and author John Kopec examined this revolver and summarized his conclusions in his included February 8, 2005, dated letter of authentication. The revolver was a new listing in Kopec's survey and falls between serial numbers 55183 (Artillery Model revolver) and 55234 (a civilian condemned revolver). Kopec states, "Historically, we could not locate this revolver's serial number in the National Archives records available to us. Most of the cited examples from within the 55000 serial number range are in the Artillery configuration, hence no information could be established as to where the subject revolver may have served during the Indian Wars. Only one example #55923 is recorded in these records from within the Indian Wars period, and this revolver is listed as belonging to Co. F, 6th Cavalry as of August 3, 1888. There is also the probability that the subject revolver had been issued to one of the state militia units... In looking over this revolver it is my opinion that it basically only deviates from originality in one respect, this being that its barrel has been privately shortened to the 5 1/2 [5 3/8] inch length and a dove-tailed front sight fitted." The top of the barrel has the one-line Colt Hartford address, and the left of the frame has the three-line patent date markings next to the "U.S." stamp. Matching visible full serial numbers are marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and butt, matching "5204" is on the cylinder and concealed area of the barrel, and assembly number "3239" is on the loading gate. The left of the grip has an "1880" date stamped above an oval bordered "DAL" (David A. Lyle) cartouche, and the right has a bordered "D.F.C" cartouche.

Lot: 3047 - NWMP and Legion of Frontiersmen Winchester Model 1876 Carbine

Highly Desirable Documented North-West Mounted Police and Legion of Frontiersmen Marked Winchester Model 1876 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1885, this is a solid example of a rare and desirable Winchester Model 1876 carbine issued to the Canadian North-West Mounted Police (N.W.M.P.) and later issued to the Edmonton Reserve Militia, Alberta Provincial Police and later the Legion of Frontiersmen. The included factory letter lists the carbine as received at the warehouse on 17 April 1885 and shipped the following day. According to Klancher in "Arms and Accoutrements of the Mounted Police 1873-1973", a total of only 1,611 of these carbines were ordered by the Canadian government, all of which saw hard use and a high attrition rate during their time on the unforgiving northern frontier, with only 939 reported placed in storage in 1906. That book lists this carbine by serial number on p. 186 as one of the carbines issued to the N.W.M.P. These carbines were the longest serving of all the N.W.M.P. longarms, spanning from 1878 to 1905, and again, from 1907 to 1914. These carbines were the companions of the mounted policemen through the turbulent times of both the Yukon Gold Rush and the North-West Rebellion. In the same book it is noted that in 1916, the N.W.M.P. loaned 710 of these carbines to the Edmonton Reserve Militia for training purposes, who then sold them to the Alberta Provincial Police in 1919. From there, some of the carbines were then acquired by the Legion of Frontiersmen, a paramilitary organization tasked with protecting the fringes of the British Empire and intelligence collection. This example has the third model receiver with the integral dust cover guide and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, as well as the caliber marking at the breech, which is repeated on the cartridge elevator. The upper tang has the model marking, while the serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a block blade front sight, the correct "Spanish meter" folding ladder rear sight graduated 1-5 on the left, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and nicely figured straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. The right side of the stock is correctly stamped, very faintly, with the "N.W.M.P." marking in an arched banner. These stamps were notoriously struck lightly and are often absent on these hard-working carbines. Additionally, this carbine is stamped "LOF.127." on the bottom of the stock just behind the lower tang, confirmation that it found its way to the Legion of Frontiersmen through the other two mentioned organizations.

Lot: 3048 - Desirable Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Musket

Desirable Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Musket Manufactured in 1870, this Winchester Model 1866 musket was made when large swathes of the American Frontier sat waiting to be tamed. While it is more often the carbine and rifle variations associated with the Wild West, the musket variations such as this would have been of equal use with their ability to fix a bayonet in last ditch defense. In collector's terms, these muskets are also significantly more rare than the other two, with 3/4 of the total Model 1866 production being carbine, and of the remainder, rifles outnumbering muskets two to one. The top of the barrel on this third model is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking and the serial number is on the lower tang just behind the trigger in block numerals. The partial matching serial number, "2673", is marked in the stock inlet and inside the buttplate. It is fitted with a set of period replacement sights including a blade front and an unidentified combination notch and folding ladder rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock a military pattern trapdoor buttplate and sling swivels on the forearm cap and bottom of the stock.

Lot: 3052 - Schoyen Denver Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Rifle

Highly Attractive George Schoyen Denver, Colorado, Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Single Shot Schuetzen Rifle Originally manufactured in 1906, this Winchester Model 1885 High Wall rifle made its way to the legendary Denver, Colorado shop of George C. Schoyen, where it was rechambered for .38-55 W.C.F. and outfitted for competitive shooting. Schoyen arrived in the United States from Norway just after the Civil War, first settling in Chicago but being burned out by the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. From there, Schoyen migrated across the wild American West to Denver, where he was first employed at the famous gun shop Gove's Denver Armory, and later establishing his own shop where he produced highly regarded single shot rifles, primarily for competition shooting. This particular rifle is a fantastic example of the high quality of work being done at the Schoyen shop. The original No. 4 weight Winchester barrel has the standard two-line address, caliber marking at the breech, and weight marking on the bottom, while the "GEO. C. SCHOYEN DENVER, COLO." marking and "38" have been added near the breech. The serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 67 type globe front sight, a blank filler in the rear sight dovetail, two scope blocks partially blocking the barrel address and caliber marking (likely period installed by Schoyen), a graduated Vernier type peep sight on the upper tang, a finger groove lever, and double set triggers. It is mounted with a large Schnabel tip forearm with palm rest installed and four additional holes, as well as a very nicely figured, large, high comb, Schuetzen type pistol grip buttstock with a cheekpiece and Swiss type buttplate.

Lot: 3053 - Winchester Model 1895 Flatside Musket with Stevens-Pope Barrel

Very Scarce Early Production Antique Winchester Model 1895 Flatside Lever Action Musket with Desirable Stevens-Pope Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1896, this is a scarce early production example of a "flatside" Winchester Model 1895 musket. While Model 1895 muskets themselves are not necessarily rare due the large numbers produced to fulfill contracts for Imperial Russia during World War I, these early flatside examples are, with many having made their way south of the border and into the hands of both Mexican revolutionaries and Mexican federal forces during their revolution, many of which did not survive. This rarity is, of course, amplified by the fact that only approximately the first 5,000 Model 1895 rifles, carbines, and muskets were produced with the "flatside" receivers. The included factory letter lists this musket in .30 caliber when received at the warehouse on 2 October 1896 and shipped on 3 October 1896 to order no. 79846. This particular musket appears to have been utilized for NRA military repeating rifle matches, as it was fitted with a highly desirable Stevens-Pope barrel during the period of use, likely by H.M. Pope himself. Pope was a renowned gunsmith around the turn of the century and was highly respected in the target shooting community, and this particular barrel was produced during a short-lived partnership in the early 1900s between Pope and the Stevens company, during which Stevens offered these barrels in their catalogs as an option on various Stevens rifle models. The top of the barrel has the typical two-line Stevens-Pope marking and Stevens address, while the number "983" is marked on top behind the rear sight. The serial number is marked on the lower tang. The muzzle of the barrel is threaded for a device and it is fitted with a ramped and pinned beaded blade front sight, a military-pattern tangent rear sight, and sling swivels on the front barrel band and bottom of the stock. There is some bedding material visible near the breech of the barrel improving the fit of the forearm. It is mounted with a musket length forearm and straight grip stock with a military pattern buttplate.

Knowledgeable collectors note that Hubalek was a jeweler and very talented barrel maker from New York during the period.

The serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a globe front sight, no rear sight dovetail, and a peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is mounted with a Schnabel tip forearm with palm rest and pistol grip stock, both with checkered grip areas, a cheekpiece, and a brass Schuetzen type buttplate.

Lot: 3068 - Serial Number "7" Winchester Model 1893 Slide Action Shotgun

Highly Desirable Early Production Serial Number "7" Winchester Model 1893 Slide Action Shotgun with Factory Letter This is an extremely early example of the Winchester Model 1893 slide action shotgun, the first slide action repeating shotgun built by Winchester. These Model 1893s were only manufactured between 1893 and 1897 with just approximately 31,000 built, seeing limited success as they were unable to handle the then new smokeless loads. In 1897 Winchester released the Model 1897 and offered customers the option to trade in the 1893 for the new model, leading to many being destroyed by Winchester when traded in. This gun, serial number "7", represents the very earliest iteration of the Winchester slide action shotguns, which would go on to be one of the defining firearms of the 20th century in the quintessentially American Model 12. The included factory letter confirms the gauge and barrel length when the gun was completed on January 28th, 1893, and shipped from the warehouses on July 5th, 1893.

Desirable Early Production Winchester Second Model 1876 "Centennial" Lever Action Rifle with "Thumbprint" Dust Cover Manufactured in 1877, just one year after initially being introduced to the public at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition as Winchester's powerful new "Centennial" rifle. These 1876s were essentially a scaled up version of the company's iconic Model 1873, which was already earning itself a reputation in the American West. The larger Model 1876 was capable of handling larger and more powerful cartridges, making it the ideal choice for anyone that felt .44-40 W.C.F. was not enough firepower for the dangers they might face on the frontier. This particular example has the Second Model receiver with the dust cover guide retained with two screws and dust cover with the flush-checkered "thumbprint" grip area. George Madis, noted Winchester authority stated that the first recorded Model 1876 fitted with a dust cover was serial number 1682, just 72 digits ahead of this example. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, and the rifle correctly lacks caliber markings as the only caliber initially offered was .45-75 W.C.F. The upper tang is marked with the model designation while the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight and a folding ladder rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle Manufactured in 1893, this is a solid antique example of a Winchester Model 1886. The John Browning designed '86 was not Winchester's first entry into the "big bore" lever action game, that title is held by the Model 1876 with its toggle-link action. It was however the first rifle they produced that was strong enough to handle cartridges of immense power, due to its locking-block action with two large, vertical locking lugs. These rifles were highly valued in the American West well into the 20th century for their firepower and rugged dependability. This example has the attractive casehardened receiver, which was standard on the Model 1886 until around 1902. This particular rifle has the standard Winchester markings.

Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in .38-56 W.C.F. Manufactured in 1892, this is an example of the John Browning designed Winchester Model 1886 chambered in .38-56 W.C.F. The .38-56 W.C.F. cartridge was introduced by Winchester in 1887 as an attempt to outperform Ballard/Marlin's .38-55 cartridge, which had been around since 1884. The cartridge saw some commercial success but generally failed in its goal to replace the .38-55, as it had essentially the same ballistics while using slightly more powder. These Model 1886s chambered in .38-56 remained popular particularly in the American West for both varmint control and hunting well into the 20th century. It has standard markings. It is fitted with a Marble No. 3 beaded blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 "Sporting" notch rear sight (elevator filed shorter).

Rare Theodore M. Thorsen Deluxe Single Shot Falling Block Rifle Manufactured c. the early 1900s by Theodore M. Thorsen of Philadelphia.

This particular rifle design shows many similarities to the Ballard rifles being produced by Marlin during the period. The barrel is marked "T.M.

Outstanding Remington Model 4 Rolling Block Takedown Rifle The Remington Model 4 rifles were manufactured from 1890 until 1933, initially being produced with a solid frame and then takedown lever on the right of the frame until around 1926 when the takedown screw/knob was introduced, as seen on this example. Approximately 356,000 were produced in a few variations in .22, .25, and .32 caliber. These rifles typically saw rough use as a "boy's rifle" and are rarely found in outstanding condition like this one.

Exceptional Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Pocket Army Single Action Revolver Manufactured from 1876 into the 1880s, this is an exceptional example of the Merwin, Hulbert & Co. large frame Pocket Army single action revolver, which combined an incredibly attractive and technologically advanced design with expert machining and immense functionality. The precise machining utilized in the manufacture of these revolvers is evident in handling one, with this particular example exhibiting the "cylinder pin suction" which is often seen on these Merwin revolvers, a clear indication of extremely skilled hand-fitting. These revolvers were arguably some of the finest available to consumers in the American West but, like so many other designs from various manufacturers, they were simply out-marketed and out-produced by Colt's "Peacemaker". The left side of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line Hopkins & Allen address and patent dates. The right of the frame has the two-line Merwin, Hulbert & Co. address and the model marking, while the left of the frame has the "CALIBRE/WINCHESTER 1873" marking designation for .44-40 W.C.F., meaning that this revolver would have been an excellent sidearm to pair with Winchester's "gun that won the West" in the same caliber. The serial number is on the lower right of the butt, and the matching assembly number "3524" is marked on the left of the grip frame, rear face of the cylinder, and rear face of the barrel lug. It is fitted with a blade front sight, frame-top groove rear sight, and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips.

Lot: 3092 - Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolver in .44-40 W.C.F

Outstanding Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army Revolver in Desirable .44-40 W.C.F. Also known as the "Improved Army" or "Frontier Army", the Model 1875 Revolver was manufactured from 1875 to 1889. A large number of these revolvers saw hard use in the American West as a frontier sidearm and are often encountered with very little or no finish, making high condition examples like this one incredibly desirable. These Remington 1875s are arguably a better designed, sturdier revolver than Colt's Single Action Army; however, their sales suffered due to Colt's two year head start and receipt of government contracts. These 1875 revolvers seem to have been preferred by at least some frontier outlaws, including Frank and Jesse James, possibly due to generally being available for a lower price than their Colt or Smith & Wesson competitors. Handling one of these revolvers, it is easy to see that a gunslinger in the American West that truly knew their firearms might prefer one of these over the hype and reputation of the Colt Single Action Army. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address. The matching serial/batch number is marked on the left of the grip frame, trigger guard tang, loading gate, and faintly hand marked inside both grip panels in pencil. The left grip panel is stamped "44" on the outside for .44-40 W.C.F., as opposed to Remington's proprietary .44 Remington CF. It is fitted with a pinched blade front sight, groove rear sight, a pair of smooth walnut grips, and a lanyard ring on the butt. Manufacturer: E.

Lot: 3093 - Engraved Tipping & Lawden Sharps Patent Pepperbox Pistol

Highly Attractive Factory Engraved Tipping & Lawden Sharps Patent Four-Shot Pepperbox Pistol Manufactured c. the 1860s to 1870s, Tipping & Lawden of Birmingham, England, were one of only two foreign firms licensed by Sharps to manufacture these pistols in Europe. According to Norm Flayderman, only approximately 6,000 of them were produced in total, of which only an estimated 2,000 were .22 rimfire like this example. Since they were designed to be readily carried, most are well-worn, but this example is in high condition and has beautiful engraved English scrollwork and rosettes on nearly all of the frame as well as flourishes around the textured gripping sections on the sides of the barrels and a border pattern on the muzzles. The grips are the standard acanthus scrollwork patterned gutta percha type commonly found on their pistols. The barrel group is finished blue and has a post front sight and English proofs on the sides. The silver-plated frame at the breech has a groove for a rear sight and is marked "TIPPING & LAWDEN/SHARPS PATENT" around the hammer screw on the left. The serial number is on the bottom of the barrel and on the upper face of the frame. This Christian Sharps design was easily one of the most concealable weapons of the period and has also become somewhat of a cultural icon of the era thanks to Hollywood. They transcend multiple genres of firearms collecting, including derringer/pocket pistols, Sharps firearms, the Civil War, the Old West, and, in this case, fine hand engraving.

Lot: 3094 - Colt House Model "Cloverleaf" Revolver with 1 1/2 Inch Barrel

Colt House Model "Cloverleaf" Spur Trigger Revolver with Rare 1 1/2 Inch Barrel Manufactured in 1871, this is one of approximately 7,500 manufactured known as the "cloverleaf" variation due to the shape of their four-shot cylinder while far fewer were made in the configuration this example is in. This specific revolver is a very rare variation, featuring a 1 1/2 inch barrel. On p. 295 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson, the author notes that early production short barrels were octagon before switching to short round barrels, and that both types of short barrels are very scarce. The left of the barrel is marked "COLT", while the bottom is numbered "69", likely a factory error. The serial number is marked on the butt and matching serial number hand marked inside both grip panels in ink. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, frame-top groove rear sight, and smooth walnut grips.

Lot: 3097 - Nimschke Engraved Silver Plated Smith & Wesson No. 2 Revolver

Highly Attractive L.D. Nimschke New York Engraved Silver Plated Smith & Wesson No. 2 Spur Trigger Revolver with Pearl Grips and Case Manufactured c. 1863 to 1864, this is a stunning and highly desirable Civil War era example of Smith & Wesson's No. 2 Army revolver that received extensive and magnificent engraving from the New York Master Engraver Louis D. Nimschke. One of the most prolific engravers of his time, Nimschke carried out engraving work for essentially all the major American firearms manufacturers of the period and is widely regarded as not only one of the finest engravers of his era but of all time. This particular example is unsigned but shows Nimschke's signature scrollwork as well as distinct crossed-ribbon patterns on the top of the barrel rib and the butt, which are very similar to patterns found on the incredible Nimschke engraved Remington revolvers presented to Ulysses S. Grant which we sold in our May 2022 Premier Firearms Auction. The engraving on this revolver is nearly full coverage, with the frame and barrel lug featuring primarily masterfully executed floral scrollwork on beaded backgrounds, the sides of the barrel having twisted ribbon motifs, and a kidney shaped fan at the top of the back strap, another signature design of Nimschke's. The revolver has standard Smith & Wesson markings as well as the serial number on the butt and hand-scratched inside both grip panels, and the matching assembly marking "A1" on the left of the grip frame, front face of the cylinder, and rear face of the barrel lug. There is a "D" marked on the bottom of the barrel at the muzzle, a marking that is typically believed to indicate some form of embellishment. It is fitted with a blade front sight, notch rear sight on top of the cylinder stop, and a pair of highly attractive smooth pearl grips. Includes a very finely figured, deluxe, hardwood presentation case with blank brass escutcheon on the lid, deep purple velvet lined fitted interior, a cleaning rod, oiler, key, partial box of cartridges, and a few loose cartridges.

Lot: 3098 - Fine Factory Engraved Mass. Arms Maynard Primed Belt Revolver

Fine Factory Engraved Mass. Arms Co. Maynard Primed Belt Revolver with Factory Acid Etched Manually Revolved Cylinder One of approximately 1,000 of the Primed Belt revolvers manufactured c. 1851-1857 per page 362 of "Flayderman's Guide, 9th Edition". These "Belt revolvers" were the altered version of the earlier Wesson & Leavitt Dragoon revolvers. A court ruling in favor of Samuel Colt in 1851 prevented Mass. Arms Co. from making the Wesson & Leavitt revolvers. The company was forced to find a work around to making revolvers without infringing on Colt's patents, with their solution being to make revolvers with hand turned cylinders. In an effort to make these more primitive firearms more desirable, they fitted them with Maynard's "advanced" tape priming system, but they remained fairly unpopular, keeping production numbers low. This example shows beautiful factory embellishment, including flourishes of floral scroll engraving on the sides of the frame and hammer, an American eagle and shield surrounded by an engraved shield on the primer door, and the cylinder has acid etched floral and martial motifs. It has a small button ahead of the trigger that releases the cylinder for manual rotation. The Mass. Arms. Co. address is marked on the top strap and Maynard's patent markings are on the primer door. The serial number "474" is marked on the front face of the frame. "212" is marked on the barrel lug and front of the cylinder arbor pin.

Lot: 3101 - Attractive Engraved Silver Plated Cannon Grip Cane

Attractive Engraved Silver Plated Cannon Grip Cane Likely manufactured during the mid-19th century, the grip of this attractive cane appears to be styled after a Civil War artillery piece. From the 18th century and into the 20th century canes were a must-have accessory for most gentlemen to publicly proclaim their social and economic status. This was particularly true among military officers, which is likely who this cane originally belonged to given its theme. The grip of this cane is shaped in the form of a large cannon barrel, showing many similarities to the large 8-inch and 10-inch Parrot Rifles utilized as heavy artillery during the Civil War, indicating it may have belonged to a naval or artillery officer. The silver plated cannon is lightly engraved with floral motifs and an "M" or "W" on top. It also has a small touch hole on top allowing it to be "fired" as a party trick with a match, cigarette, or cigar, with the bore being approximately .22 caliber. The grip threads into the smooth rosewood shaft with a brass band where they meet and a brass and iron tip. It measures approximately 34 5/8 inches overall.

Lot: 3102 - Cased Pair of Factory Engraved and Silver Plated Colt Third Mode

Desirable Cased Pair of Early Production Factory Engraved and Silver Plated Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringers -A) Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringer Desirable Cased Pair of Early Production Factory Engraved and Silver Plated Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringers -A) Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringer Introduced in 1870, Colt's Third Model derringer was the first design for a derringer pistol developed in-house by the company, with both their First and Second Models having been designs acquired from their takeover of the National Arms Co. The Third Model derringer was a total redesign which was done by a longtime Colt gunsmith, F. Alexander Thuer. Thuer is credited with three different patents during his time with Colt, the first for a metallic cartridge conversion system for percussion revolvers, the second for tools for reloading the cartridges for said conversion, and the third for these derringer pistols. The No. 3, Third Model, or "Thuer" derringer patent was granted on 12 July 1870, and the model would go on to become Colt's most popular derringer model by far, being produced until 1912. The derringers were extremely popular in both Britain and North America, probably due, in large part, to the greatly expanding industrialized urban centers in both. Such highly populated areas led to increases in crime, especially mugging, leading to a strong desire for many to carry a concealed form of protection such as these pistols. By the end of production in 1912, approximately 48,000 of these derringers were produced, though factory pairs with this level of embellishment remain scarce. Being only three serial numbers apart and having basically identical engraving, it is essentially beyond doubt that these two derringers left the factory as a pair. They show the early production features such as the high spur hammer and the tighter grip profile. They both feature beautifully executed factory floral scroll engraving which encompasses approximately three-quarters of the surfaces. They have the standard "-COLT-" marking in italics on top of the barrels and British proofs on the bottom of the barrels. The serial numbers are marked on the left side of the grip frames along with "E" prefixes and suffixes, on the bottom of the barrels, and faintly hand-marked in ink inside the grip panels. They are both fitted with blade front sights and highly attractive smooth ebony grips. The pair is housed in a brown leather wrapped case that has a lightly tooled diamond pattern throughout and is lined with royal blue silk and velvet, including a key and a combination cleaning rod/screwdriver.

Lot: 3106 - Serial "300000" Colt Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army

Legendary Milestone Serial Number "300000" Colt First Generation Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army Revolver with Factory Letter This is a rare offering as the one and only milestone 300,000th Colt Single Action Army revolver that rolled off the production line in late 1907 as a Frontier Six Shooter in .44-40 W.C.F. A period Colt advertisement from 1907 shows an illustration of a Single Action Army revolver and proudly states: "Colt Revolvers/Acceptable for the reason that for over 70 years they have been/The Standard of the Firearms World." The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver as shipped early in the next calendar year on January 18, 1908, to Simmons Hardware Company in St. Louis, Missouri, and confirms its configuration in .44-40 caliber with a 4 3/4 inch barrel, blue finish, and type of grips not listed, as part of ten guns of the same type in the shipment. Colt was known to hold back important serial numbers in production for presentation or archiving purposes but somehow let this one get away and onto the commercial market. The shipment destination, St. Louis, was known as the gateway to the West and this revolver has the appearance of having seen some time on the hip of a traveler or as the working gun of a rancher. Whoever originally purchased the revolver from Simmons Hardware Company was certainly overjoyed when they realized they hit the jackpot with its milestone serial number "300000". The Colt Single Action Army in .44-40 W.C.F. was named the "Frontier Six Shooter" after J.P. Moore's Sons ordered some in 1878, and they were particularly desirable in the American West through the "Wild West" period and into the 20th century due to their ability to be paired with Winchester's lever actions that shared the same caliber. The .44-40 W.C.F. Frontier Six Shooter has found a special place in the hearts of Colt Peacemaker collectors. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line Colt Hartford address and "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" is roll-stamped on the left side. The left of the frame has the two-line patent date markings followed by a circled Rampant Colt logo. The matching visible full serial number "300000" is marked on the frame, trigger guard, and butt, with matching partial "0000" correctly hand etched on the interiors of both grips, unnumbered cylinder, and assembly number "2169" on the loading gate.

The top of the barrel has the two-line Colt Hartford address and "45 COLT" is on the left. The left side of the frame has the two-line patent dates followed by a Rampant Colt, and a factory triangle "VP" proof and the number "1" are on the left of the trigger guard. Matching visible serial numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard and butt, unnumbered cylinder and replacement grips, and assembly number "877" on the loading gate (partially stamped 8) and rear of the frame.

Wilson. The Flattop Target revolvers were some of the premier target revolvers of their day, more commonly seen chambered for cartridges intended for the foreign market where they were popular with English competition shooters. This .44-40 W.C.F. chambered Flattop Target revolver combines the best of both worlds between the allure of the West and the popular sport of competition target shooting and likely remained stateside.

London Agency Shipped Antique Colt Bisley Flattop Target Model Single Action Army Revolver in .455 Eley with Scarce Solid Fixed Front Sight, Morris Patent Sub-Caliber Conversion Barrel Insert, Case, and Factory Letter The included factory letter states this revolver was shipped on July 21, 1898, to Colt's London Agency in London, England, in .455 caliber with a 7 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, and wood grips as part of 30 guns of the same type in the shipment. Colt Bisley Flattop Target revolvers are considered scarce, with only 976 in total manufactured, and this is one of only 196 Colt Bisley Flattop Target revolvers recorded in factory ledgers as chambered for the .455 Eley cartridge per "The Book of Colt Firearms" by R.L. Wilson. The solid fixed front sight on this example is a rare variant only known on a small handful of these .455 chambered Bisley Flattop Target Models and differs from most other examples witnessed that have a blade front sight secured with a pin. In 1897 the NRA rules were changed to emphasize military shooting, in which they canceled the "Any Revolver" class and instead required front sights to be "fixed" as seen on this example. The .455 Eley chambered Bisley Flattop Target Models were popular with competitive British target shooters on the Bisley Range in England, from which the model gets its name. These were the premium Colt target revolvers of the day. The revolver has the distinctive Bisley Model features which include the higher frame, humpback grip area, curved hammer with wide knurled spur, and wide trigger. It has the raised one-piece solid fixed blade target front sight and dovetail mounted "V" notch rear sight. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the one-line Colt Hartford address, and "(BISLEY MODEL) 455 ELEY." is on the left. London proof marks on the barrel and cylinder.

Lot: 3124 - Rare Antique Colt Model 1877 Rainmaker .32 Revolver with Letter

Rare Antique Colt Model 1877 Rainmaker .32 Double Action Revolver with Factory Letter The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver as the sole gun of its type in a shipment on August 1, 1893, to Hartley & Graham in New York City, in .32 caliber with a 5 inch barrel, nickel finish, and type of grips not listed. This is one of only approximately 200 of Colt's Model 1877 revolver that were chambered in .32 Long Colt and nicknamed the "Rainmaker" per page 325 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by R.L. Wilson. These revolvers came to be known as the "Rainmaker" (.32 caliber), "Lightning" (.38 caliber), and "Thunderer" (.41 caliber). The nicknames were excellent marketing material and were coined by the famous Colt distributor Benjamin Kittredge who is also credited with giving the Single Action Army its iconic nickname "Peacemaker". The "Rainmaker" was produced in significantly smaller numbers than the "Thunderer" and "Lightning," lending to their higher desirability on the modern collector market. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line Colt Hartford address and "COLT. D.A. 32" is on the left. The left of the frame has the three-line patent date markings and the circled Rampant Colt.

While the Bisley was developed with competition shooters in mind, this variant of the legendary Single Action Army revolver also found widespread popularity among exhibition and trick shooters, cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws, particularly in the American West. The Edward Bohlin grips on these revolvers and the Bohlin holster rig are strong indicators that their intended purpose may have been for film, as Bohlin was one of the most prolific suppliers for television and movie Westerns. The "LR" initials on these grips certainly hint at some association with the Lone Ranger, who is known to have worn very similar holster rigs on screen. Though this pair were produced six years apart, they have every appearance of having been paired together for quite some time. The reason for the two revolvers being in different calibers is unknown, though they may have been intended for gun twirling exhibitions or different types of shooting. Both of the barrels are marked with the two-line address on top and the Bisley and caliber markings on the left. Both are marked with the two-line patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt on the left of the frames. They both have matching visible serial numbers. The revolvers are fitted with standard sights, and both sport a pair of period-fitted, highly attractive, silver grips with near full coverage floral scroll engraving, and one of the panels on each revolver having 12K gold mounted "LR" initials and steer heads which are fitted with red gemstone eyes. The interior of the grip panels bear the Bohlin maker's mark, "12-K", and "STERLING". Includes an ornate black tooled leather Edward H. Bohlin, Hollywood, California, dual holster and gun belt rig featuring a single row of cartridge loops fitted with silver Bohlin marked dummy cartridges and fitted with silver buckles and mounts.

Lot: 3164 - Cased Special Order Colt 1861 Navy with Casehardened Grip Frame

Extraordinarily Scarce Birdseye Maple Cased Special Order Colt Model 1861 Navy Percussion Revolver with Checkered Loading Lever, Casehardened Grip Frame, and Deluxe Relief Carved Grip This incredible revolver dates to 1866 and was almost certainly a special order revolver made for a presentation, possibly for a Colt employee or victorious Union officer. It is quite unusual in its special order details and was noted as not listed in the shipping records. With no documentation or inscription we are left to wonder just who it may have been made for, why, and where they used it, but it is certainly one of the rarest examples of the already scarce Model 1861 Navy. The special features starting from the front of the revolver include: fine checkering on the loading lever arm terminating in a scalloped border as well as coordinating checkering with a single scallop border on the hammer, "36 CAL" marked on the left side of the barrel lug instead of on the trigger guard, no Colt patent marking on the frame, casehardened trigger guard and back strap, and a deluxe walnut grip with raised relief foliate carving and basket-weave checkering most likely executed by Charles Helfricht as it almost nearly identical to the grip on the famous L. T. Pearson Pocket Navy. The revolver is also housed in one of the rarest known factory cases: a maple case with distinctive birdseye figure on the lid. In addition, the revolver features a German silver blade front sight, the one-line New York barrel address, "5" between the frame pin holes, "A" near the barrel's breech face, the iconic naval battle scene on the cylinder, "P" and "B" on the recoil shield, the matching partial serial number "208" on the cylinder, wedge, and arbor; and the matching full serial number "28208" on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The case contains a compliment of accessories, including a cap tin, martial pattern powder flask with sloped charger, L-shaped combination tool, "36 B." marked bullet mold, cartridge pack, and loose bullets.

Lot: 3165 - Rare and Desirable Colt No. 3 Belt Model Paterson Revolver

Rare and Desirable Colt No. 3 Belt Model Paterson Percussion Revolver The rare revolving arms of Samuel Colt's Patent Arms Manufacturing Company based in Paterson, New Jersey, represent a short lived but historically significant chapter in firearms history. Following Colt's patenting of his innovative revolver designs in England in 1835 and the U.S. in 1836, he began producing and promoting his wares to the world. Though small in number, his first revolvers made a significant impact and led to the development of the famous Colt Walker in 1847 and the subsequent rebirth of his firearms business and the world wide fame of the Colt revolver that persists to this day. This revolver is a No. 3 Belt Model Paterson. These were numbered within the same range as the No. 2 Belt Model revolvers, and total production of this model reached approximately 450. This early example was manufactured prior to the spring of 1840 based on the squareback cylinder. R. L. Wilson classified this variation at the "Model A" which in addition to squareback shoulders on the cylinder has flared walnut grips with rounded butt, flared barrel lug with double curve, and small letters in the barrel address. The barrel has a small German silver blade front sight and "-Patent Arms M'g Co Paterson, N-J Colt's Pt.-" marked on top. The cylinder has the roll engraved centaur scene. The serial number "22" in fairly large numerals is marked on the wedge, barrel lug, cylinder, turning ring, and trigger and is re-marked butt of the left grip in smaller numerals. The frame is unnumbered. The replacement grip is tightly fit to the back strap and could not be dismounted.

Lot: 3166 - Colt Model 1855 Full-Stock Military Percussion Revolving Rifle

Exceptional Colt Model 1855 Full-Stock Military Percussion Revolving Rifle Samuel Colt's revolving handguns remain his most famous firearms, but his first product was the First Model "ring lever" revolving rifle produced in 1837. When his firearms business was revived in 1847 with the Walker, handguns remained the focus for several years, but Colt soon looked to add revolving rifles to his line. His "New Model Revolving Rifle" was produced in several variations c. 1855-1864, but only around 18,300 were produced. Of these, only 800 were the .56 caliber Military Rifles with 31 3/16 inch barrels per the data on page 183 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson. These .56 caliber rifles had the largest frame size of all the Model 1855 long guns and were one of the few viable repeating rifle designs at the outbreak of the Civil War, and some were used by Union soldiers, including the famous Berdan Sharpshooters. The rifle features a blade front sight with block base that serves as the lug for mounting a socket bayonet, a three-leaf rear sight, "COL. COLT HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." marked in the top strap groove, "PATENTED SEPT. 10th 1850" in one of the cylinder flutes, "COLT'S PATENT/Nov. 24th 1857" on the left side of the frame, K" on the left side of the trigger guard, the matching serial number "2410" visible on the bottom of the frame and the lower tang as well as the toe of the buttplate, sling swivels on the rear barrel band and buttstock, brass forend cap, rifle-musket length forearm, straight wrist stock with steel buttplate, and cleaning rod in the stock compartment.

Lot: 3167 - Patent Arms Colt Paterson Second Model No. 2 Ring Lever Rifle

Rare Patent Arms Mfg. Co. Colt Paterson Second Model No. 2 Ring Lever Percussion Revolving Rifle Samuel Colt manufactured approximately 500 Second Model Ring Lever rifles, also called the No. 2, at his Paterson, New Jersey, factory in 1838-1841, according to page 45 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by R.L. Wilson. These Second Model No. 2 rifles were serial numbered in their own range commencing with serial number 1 and succeeded the approximately 200 First Model No.1 rifles manufactured between 1837-1838. Reportedly, 100 of the No. 2 Ring Lever rifles were purchased and delivered to the Army of the Republic of Texas in 1839 (serial numbers unknown), where they would have seen extensive use. Their deep roots in Texas history lend further to their desirability by collectors today, and surviving examples of this significant early Colt firearm are rare. The .44 caliber octagon barrel has a dovetail mounted blade front sight and a dovetail mounted adjustable notch rear sight. The top barrel flat is roll-stamped with the legend: "~*Patent Arms M'g. Co. Paterson, N.J.-Colt's Pt.*~" reading towards the muzzle. The rifle has the distinctive ring lever on the bottom of the frame ahead of the trigger guard to rotate the cylinder and cock the internal hammer, with Second Model features including the frame without a top strap, right side mounted loading lever, capping cutout in the recoil shield, and this example having rounded rear shoulders on the eight-shot cylinder. Matching visible serial number "404" stamped on the rear face of the barrel lug, rear face of the cylinder, ring lever, base of the cylinder arbor pin, revolving cylinder collar, and buttplate.

Lot: 3169 - Cased Thuer Conversion Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver

Scarce London Cased and Addressed Thuer Conversion Colt Model 1849 Pocket Revolver The Thuer system was designed by Colt employee F. Alexander Thuer and patented on September 15, 1868, and January 4, 1870. They were specifically designed with reloadable tapered front loading cartridges to allow Colt to produce metallic cartridge revolvers without infringing on Smith & Wesson's monopoly on revolvers with bored through cylinders due to the Rollin White patent. Total production of the Thuer conversion revolvers is estimated at just 5,000 revolvers in "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson, and these 5,000 revolvers are split between the Model 1849 Pocket, Model 1851 Navy, Model 1861 Navy, Model 1860 Army, Pocket Navy, and Model 1862 Police. Wilson notes that "the bulk of Thuer sales were made in England and Australia." This revolver was sold through Colt's London Agency and features London proof marks and a London case with the 14 Pall Mall addressed trade label featuring directions for "Colt's New Patent Metallic Central Fire Cartridge Revolving Pistols." The revolver features the distinctive loading groove on the right side of the barrel lug and the groove in the recoil shield for using the Thuer system. The rear of the cylinder and breech plate are numbered "6". The cylinder is not externally numbered. The wedge, loading lever, barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and grip are numbered "343". The barrel has a small brass cone front sight and the two-line "{ADDRESS COL. COLT/LONDON}" address. The cylinder has the classic stagecoach hold-up scene, and the frame has "COLTS/PATENT" marked on the left. The oak case has brass mounts, the noted trade label, a cleaning rod, oiler, L-shaped combination tool, bullet mold, cartridge-shell holder, ball guide, capping plug, capping guide, punch, ammunition tin with orange label for fifty .31 caliber "Economic Metallic Central Fire Cartridges for Colt's New Patent Revolver, Pocket Size" and five rare Thuer cartridges inside, and an Eley Bros. cap tin with orange label marked "for Central-Fire Breech-Loading Cases."

Lot: 3171 - Factory Engraved Colt 1848 Baby Dragoon Percussion Revolver

Rare and Well-Documented Factory Engraved Colt Model 1848 Baby Dragoon Percussion Revolver with Desirable Long Barrel and Robert Jordan Letter This highly desirable factory engraved Colt Baby Dragoon revolver was manufactured in 1848 and is featured on page 45 of "Colt's Pocket '49 Including the Baby Dragoon & Wells Fargo" by Jordan and Watt and page 37 of "The Book of Colt Engraving Volume 1" by Wilson. While Colt's Model 1849 Pocket was the company's most popular revolver in the 19th century, production of the early Baby Dragoon revolvers with their distinctive squareback trigger guards was very limited, especially with the early round cylinder stops and slots and the rammer-less barrels. Those with factory engraving are even rarer. Jordan and Watt state: "Engraved Baby Dragoons are rare. This one has the early vine style engraving on the frame and interesting grip configuration." In an included letter Robert Jordan notes that barrels were not engraved until sn. 7623, and that revolvers without engraved barrels still appear until after serial number 9278. Jordan also noted "the grip drop is more pronounced than any other Baby Dragoon" he had seen but that he was convinced it was original given Colt farmed out the production of brass parts and they vary. The engraving on the frame and grip straps consists of flowing scrollwork with smooth backgrounds and track line and foliate borders. Matching serial numbers are found on the cylinder, arbor pin ("800"), barrel, frame trigger guard, and back strap. "COLTS/PATENT" is marked above the serial number on the cylinder. A small "K" is marked above the serial number on the trigger guard, and "Q" is marked below. A "T" is also marked on some components for inspector William Tuller. The wedge and grip are blank. The barrel has a post front sight and "-ADDRESS SAML COLT/NEW YORK CITY-" marked on top reading from the breech towards the muzzle. The hammer has the notch rear sight.

Lot: 3184 - Desirable Blued Colt 1871-1872 Open Top Single Action Revolver

Highly Desirable Blued Finish Colt Model 1871-1872 Open Top Single Action Revolver This is one of only approximately 7,000 of these "Open Top" revolvers manufactured Colt in 1872-1873. The production of the Open Top was made possible after the American government refused Rollin White’s request to extend his revolver patent in 1870. White’s patent had been used by Smith & Wesson to hold a monopoly on revolvers were bored through cylinders preventing Colt and others from producing rimfire and centerfire revolvers. When Colt entered the metallic cartridge revolver market, it was only natural that they built off the success of their immensely successful percussion revolvers. This model is largely based on the iconic Model 1860 Army revolvers widely used by Union forces during the Civil War and was the direct predecessor of the hugely successful Colt Single Action Army. A large percentage of these Open Top revolvers appear to have made their way westward as some of the first American metallic cartridge revolvers on the frontier, and many continued to be used long after the Single Action Army became available in large numbers. Most of those that survive are nickel plated, and examples with considerable original blue finish remaining like this one are hard to acquire. This stunning blue and casehardened Open Top features a German silver blade front sight and integral notch rear sight on top of the barrel which is marked "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-". The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line 1871 and 1872 patent markings, and the cylinder is roll engraved with the Naval Battle of Campeche scene and "COLTS PATENT No 229". The matching serial number "1229" is marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and rear mortise of the grip, and assembly number "122" is on the loading gate. The wedge is unnumbered.

Fine Civil War Era Colt Model 1861 Navy Percussion Revolver Manufactured in 1861, near the start of the Civil War, this is a solid representative example of arguably the most attractive percussion revolver model Colt ever produced. The relatively limited production of these '61 Navies, as well as the fact that many saw hard use through the Civil War and during westward expansion on the American frontier, have left a fairly small number available to today's collectors. The top of the barrel has the standard one-line address, while "COLTS/PATENT" is on the left of the frame. The cylinder has the Texas naval scene rollmark, and the trigger guard has the caliber marking. All of the serial numbers are matching including the wedge arbor pin. There are no visible government inspector's markings, though this was fairly typical for the model, and the lack of silver plating on the trigger guard and back strap indicates potential government or state militia issue.

Lot: 3197 - Civil War Era Transitional Paris LeMat "Grapeshot" Revolver

Desirable Early Production Civil War Era Transitional Model Paris LeMat Two-Barrel "Grapeshot" Percussion Revolver Manufactured in Paris, France, c. 1864-1865. LeMat revolvers in their various forms were manufactured in Liege, Paris, and Birmingham between 1856-1865 with total production estimated at fewer than 2,900 revolvers per page 643 of "Flayderman's Guide, 9th Edition". This LeMat revolver, serial number 421, is a transitional model with a part octagon .42 caliber upper revolver barrel and percussion nine-shot cylinder, a second centrally mounted smoothbore .65 caliber/16 gauge "buckshot" barrel, pivoting hammer nose with central change lever on the hammer, the swivel lanyard ring on the butt and spur trigger guard that are characteristic of the First Model, and loading lever on the left side as typically found on Second Model LeMat revolvers. The LeMat revolver was developed by Dr. Jean LeMat of New Orleans, Louisiana, and patented in 1856. Approximately 1,500 LeMat revolvers are thought to have been purchased by the Confederate government during the Civil War, and many senior Confederate officers are known to have carried them. However, the LeMat revolver is most closely associated with the famed Confederate cavalryman General J.E.B. Stuart who carried a LeMat revolver when he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Yellow Tavern, Virginia, in 1864. The LeMat two-barrel "Grapeshot" revolver is the most distinctive of all the Confederate associated firearms. These revolvers represented a significant firepower boost over other percussion revolvers of the era, integrating a multi-shot revolver and a "grapeshot" shotgun barrel. The revolver barrel is hand inscribed "COL LEMAT Bte SGDG PARIS" on top, and the right side is marked with the serial number "421" followed by the partially remaining "*/LM" LeMat logo. The matching serial number "421" is also marked on the right side of the frame below the cylinder, on the cylinder, barrel catch, bottom muzzle end of the revolver barrel, on the breech end of the smoothbore barrel, and butts of both grips.

Desirable Civil War Confederate Inspected British London Armoury Co. Kerr Patent Percussion Revolver Approximately 11,000 of these Kerr patent revolvers were manufactured by the London Armoury Co. between 1859 to 1866, and many were known to have been exported for use by the Confederacy during the American Civil War, with some stopped by the Union blockade. These revolvers were well regarded by the men who carried them. This example has the desirable "JS/anchor" stamped on the front of the grip found on known Confederate issued examples. The Kerr revolver's cylinder can be rotated by pulling the trigger, but the hammer must be cocked manually and also revolves the cylinder when it is. The use of an older style back action percussion lock meant that these revolvers were easier to work on and repair than more complicated revolver actions. "L.A.C" London Armoury Co. marking followed by "crown/GP" and "crown/V" proofs on the upper left barrel flat, "LONDON/ARMOURY" marked on the left of the frame, "KERR'S PATENT. 1647." on the right of the frame, "LONDON ARMOURY." on the lock plate, "1647" and London crown proofs marked on the outside of the cylinder, "1598" marked on the frame under the cylinder, along with "1598" faintly marked on the front face of the cylinder and inside of the trigger guard.

Somewhat atypical for the day, the Starr used a double trigger mechanism, with the front trigger cocking the hammer and advancing the cylinder while the rear trigger fires the weapon; depending on the setting of a restrictor block on the front trigger, the shooter could either pop off quick double action style shots, or cock the hammer single action style. This mechanism would be retired with the Starr Model 1863, which used a more conventional single action mechanism. Dovetailed blade front and hammer notch rear sights, with the New York address on the left side of the frame, patent marks on the right, and matching numbers on the barrel, barrel lug, cylinder, frame, and trigger.

Lot: 3213 - Damien Connolly Cased 1/5 Scale Miniature Kentucky Rifle

Exquisite Damien Connolly Cased 1/5 Scale Miniature Engraved and Raised Relief Carved Golden Age Flintlock American Long Rifle This outstanding non-firing miniature Lancaster School American long rifle has been frequently cited when the excellence of Damien Connolly's craftsmanship is discussed and is discussed in detail at CraftsmanshipMuseum.com where it is noted that this "tiny project involved approximately 2,000 hours of work, and it was not done on commission. Damien simply wanted the challenge of working this small, and it serves as a fine showcase for his skills as a gunsmith and engraver." The work was conducted over five years, and most of the stainless steel parts were completed under a microscope. 600 hours were spent creating a drill in order to produce the project. Connolly has been a self-taught artist since he was a young boy and began making handmade muzzleloading rifles at the age of 21 and received his first engraving commission in 1979. After 1999, he began to focus solely on high end embellished firearms, and he moved from Australia to Vermont in 2011 to work with Winston Churchill on the Gray Ghost Colt Single Action Army project featured in our June 2026 The American Sale (lot 27, $646,250 realized price) and in 2023 was a Grand Masters instructor on sculpted steel engraving and 24k gold inlaying techniques. The overall length of this miniature is 12 1/4 inches from muzzle to heel and weighs approximately 1 oz. The barrel is noted as having a .098 inch bore with seven individually broached grooves. Some of the individual parts are shockingly minuscule such as the .4 mm set trigger adjustment screw, a tiny shaped flake of flint, and even a tiny touch hole. The intricate engraving was done using traditional engraver hand tools and a microscope. The 23 mm long lock is beautifully signed "Connolly", and photos taken by Connolly and shared at CraftsmanshipMuseum.com show that even the internal bridles are engraved. The ornate sideplate, cheekpiece inlay, patchbox, and toe plate feature intricate piercings and engraving. Note the extremely fine flame figure on both the rifle stock and case which are fine enough to replicate the figure of a full-scale rifle. The stock features highly detailed carving most would struggle to execute in full scale. The case is noted as taking 396 hours and was built from the same timber as the stock, pigskin suede lining, and custom made wood screws and hinges with an opening and closing detent. The case contains a delicate cleaning/"range" rod with a tiny removable jag and wool mop. "Connolly" is in 24k gold inside the lid. The overall project is certainly one of the finest miniature American long rifles ever created, if not the absolute finest.

Lot: 3214 - Silver Inlaid J. Haeffer Signed Flintlock American Long Rifle

Well-Documented Engraved, Silver Inlaid, and Relief Carved J. Haeffer Signed Flintlock American Long Rifle This gun is featured on page 108 as No. 28 in "Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in Its Golden Age" by Kindig and discussed on pages 104-105 where it is described as "a very fine Jacob Haeffer rifle with his name and the Indian head stamped typically on the barrel. It has sixteen engraved silvery inlays including a very fine eight-pointed star on the cheek piece. It has unusually fine quality relief carving. For several reasons I believe this is probably the latest Haeffer gun shown. First, the butt plate is more concave than the other two. Instead of one large brass side plate, this rifle has two small plates. (I generally consider this a later detail.) And, the more elaborate patch box has six piercings, whereas the other two have no piercings at all. The engraving on this patch box includes much cross-hatching, which as I have said before, is rather typical of Haeffer's work. This is a high quality, very beautiful rifle." Kindig notes that both John and Jacob Haeffer were gunsmiths in Lancaster in the early 19th century. It features a smooth-bored barrel with dovetailed blade and notch sights, "*I*" ahead of an Indian head and then "*HAEFFER" signed on top towards the breech, and a single tang screw and four slides securing the barrel to the stock. The lock has some light foliate engraving. The gun is fitted with adjustable double set triggers suggesting it was originally rifled. As noted by Kindig, the stock is adorn by a series of silver inlays, including a wrist escutcheon inscribed with the initials "MW". The other mounts are brass, including the attractive four-piece patchbox with foliate engraving and two piercings on each side plate and the finial. The beautifully figured curly maple stock features fine molding along the forend and butt, incised and raised relief scroll carving, and a cheekpiece on the left.

This combination gun features design details taken from three different Bonewitz signed rifles and a Bonewitz attributed rifle. The patchbox design was copied from the c. 1790 "Red Bonewitz" rifle. The carving just ahead of the patchbox finial was copied from a c. 1800s Bonewitz. The carving on the left side of the butt behind the cheekpiece is based on an early signed relic rifle, and the carving at the front is based on the standard Bonewitz carving from the 1790s and later. The carving at the barrel tang is based on the carving on an example displayed at the Chickamauga Battlefield Museum. Both barrels were originally .58 caliber and rifled and are equipped with traditional dovetailed blade and notch sights. One barrel is signed "M. Wheland" and was carefully bored to 20 gauge smoothbore. There are three engraved silver inlays along one of the forend panels, and the cheekpiece inlay is an engraved silver star.

Lot: 3266 - EXP Series U.S. Union Switch & Signal Model 1911A1 Pistol

Rare Presentation Grade "EXP" Series U.S. Union Switch & Signal Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol Representing the very beginning of 1911A1 production at Union Switch & Signal c. 1942, the "EXP." pistols were the very first trial run for the machinery, workers, and production line at U.S.&S., during which equipment and procedures were refined and prepared for full scale wartime contract production. While the "EXP" pistols themselves were never intended for delivery to the Army, they played a critical role in preparing a company otherwise dedicated to railroad equipment to help fill America's need for quality, combat-worthy pistols. According to Meadows on p. 145 of "U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1920-1945", approximately 100 "EXP" pistols were made in total, and at the conclusion of the war they were broken out of storage and finished out as a presentation series for important members of the company and selected government officials. It is theorized that these "EXP." series pistols may have been used to test various finishing techniques and thus display a variety of finishes when they appear on today's collectors market. Finished in a fine Dulite and blue, this pistol follows the overall military pattern closely, with the company address and trademark on the left side of the slide, while the right side of the slide is blank. No U.S. inspector or property markings are present, and the right side of the frame is marked "U S & S CO/EXP". The "EXP" on this particular pistol is stamped over a marking that was removed before the pistol was finished. Typically these pistols are seen with "No" and a number following the "EXP", but this particular example is unnumbered. The full blue High Standard barrel is marked "HS" and "P" on the lug. Fitted with a flat top rear sight, short stamped trigger, long grip safety, thin checkered hammer, slide stop, thumb safety, and mainspring housing, Keyes Fiber checkered grips, and a full blue magazine.

Lot: 3270 - World War I Era British Proofed Colt Model 1902 Military Pistol

Very Fine World War I Era British Proofed Colt Model 1902 Military Semi-Automatic Pistol Manufactured in 1909, these Military Model 1902s, much like most of the early Colt automatics, represented the pinnacle of firearms technology in their time and were the desire of both military men and civilians alike. Given its British proofs and the serial number falling within the range of a 200 gun shipment of these Model 1902 pistols to London Armoury Co. on 17 March 1914, it is almost certain that this pistol found its way to Britain in preparation for war. That shipment is listed on p. 189 of "The Government Models" by Goddard. With the drums of war beginning to beat in Europe and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparking World War I just a month after this shipment, these pistols would have been a hot commodity for British officers heading off for war. There are British proofs on the left of the slide and frame, as well as on the chamber of the barrel. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line patent date and two-line address arranged in two blocks with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right side of the slide has the two-line caliber marking. The left side of the frame has the serial number and "VP" and "1" on the left of the trigger guard. It is fitted with blade and rounded top notch sights, a lanyard swivel on the lower left of the grip frame, checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts and "COLT" banners, and full blue magazine.

Lot: 3272 - Remington-Bridgeport Model 1918 Mark I Pedersen Device

Rare Remington-Bridgeport Model 1918 Mark I Pedersen Device Conceived late in World War I, the Pedersen Device was part of a service weapon concept that would see infantry armed with a bolt action rifle (the Springfield 1903 Mark I, not included) and a field-swappable device (seen here) compatible with pistol caliber rounds of similar bore dimension and detachable magazine. An infantryman so equipped would retain the same capacity for long-ranged precision fire as their typical rivals, while also having ready access to a pistol caliber semi-automatic carbine which could provide superior performance in a close-in fight. Had the war continued another year, the Mark I combination may have seen use in a hypothetical Spring 1919 offensive on the Western Front, though this opportunity to prove the concept in the field never emerged. While it is believed that approximately 65,000 Pederson Devices were manufactured, in 1931 an extensive purge of unneeded material from Army inventory resulted in the near complete destruction of the device and its accoutrements, with records showing 64,873 devices destroyed. The exact number of survivors is unknown but extremely limited, making the Pedersen Device one of the rarest Model 1903 rifle accoutrements, a rare artifact of World War I, and an intriguing look at a possible alternate development of Western small arms. The device measures 12 1/2 inches overall, with a 3 1/2 inch barrel shaped to fit inside the 1903 rifle chamber and adjustable head-spacing, a serrated charging handle marked "U.S.A. 1918-MARK I/8904" on the left in two lines and "REMINGTON-BRIDGEPORT/PEDERSEN'S PAT'S.

Lot: 3279 - Inscribed Russian Contract Colt Government Model Pistol

Very Scarce Documented Russian Contract Colt Government Model Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter Originally ordered in 1916 and 1917, the Russian Contract Colt Government Model pistols were ordered by the Imperial Russian government from Colt through the British government. The included copy of the factory letter confirms the current configuration, grips not listed, as well as shipment to the government of Russia in a 4,000 gun shipment on 7 October 1916. When placing the order, the government of Great Britain acted as an intermediary, using a line of credit established by the Russians and backed by hard gold reserves held in Britain to cover the bill. Britain's role as go-between was the source of the typical marking on the left side of the frame, "ANGL. ZAKAZIE"(translated) for "English Order". The Russian Contract pistols as-issued otherwise bore only standard Colt markings like this example. By 1916, the situation on the Eastern Front was already getting well out of hand for Russia, and in 1917 they went through the February and October Revolutions, which brought about both the fall of the Imperial government and the successor Provisional Government, which led to the rise of the Soviet Union. Additionally, some reports of the final assassination of Tsar Nicholas II and his family put a pair of Colt .45 ACP pistols among the weapons used by the Bolshevik party, in particular one used by Yakov Yurovsky, leader of the squad who is noted as having fired the opening shot directly into the Tsar's chest. Russian Contract Government Model Colts are scarce on the American market in any condition, as they saw hard use through multiple conflicts and virtually none were ever exported by the Soviet Union. The left side of the slide has the two-line, two-block address and patent dates. The right of the slide has the caliber marking, as well as the period added inscription "LARS GUSTAFSON", whose identity remains unknown. The barrel is struck with two markings on the bottom ahead of the lug, one being "P", and has a polished chamber hood. The left side of the frame has the contract marking removed as mentioned and "VP" and "b" on the trigger guard, with the model marking and serial number on the right. It is fitted with the standard blade and notch sights, long smooth trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, smooth mainspring housing, diamond pattern checkered grips, lanyard loop, and an unmarked two-tone magazine with pinned base.

Historic, Identified World War II U.S. Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless General Officer's Semi-Automatic Pistol Issued to Major General Frederic J. Hughes Jr., Leading Physician for the Leader of the "Great Crusade", President Dwight D. Eisenhower, with General Officer's Holster Rig Manufactured in 1944, this is an exceptional U.S. Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless General Officer's pistol that is identified as issued to Major General Frederic J. Hughes, Jr., commander of Walter Reed Army Medical Center during the treatment and ultimately death of the iconic American general and President of the United States of America Dwight D. Eisenhower. The pistol is listed on p. 150 of "The Colt Pocket Hammerless Automatic Pistols" by John Brunner as having been issued to, then brigadier general, Frederic Hughes on 13 October 1965, just a few months after his promotion to that rank. Often being identified to legendary U.S. generals, these Colt Officer's Model pistols have become highly collectible pieces of Americana. However, with only approximately 1,500 of the .380 pistols and approximately 2,500 of the .32 pistols issued to general officers, they remain hard to come by for today's collectors. Included with the pistols is a correct, black leather General Officer's belt and holster ("36" marked on the inside surface of the belt), an extra magazine (blued), a framed photograph of general Hughes, and a small one-star general plaque with Hughes' name and rank. Frederic J. Hughes, Jr. (1914–1987) graduated from Cornell University and Cornell Medical School in 1938 and joined the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1941, serving continuously until 1974 and rising to major general. He held senior medical leadership roles, including director of professional services in the Office of the Surgeon General, before being named commanding general of Walter Reed General Hospital in 1967. At Walter Reed, Hughes oversaw one of the most historic medical moments in American history: the treatment and final illness of former President and Supreme Allied Commander of Operation Overlord, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Hughes personally supervised Eisenhower’s care, seeing him multiple times daily and directing treatment through four heart attacks, intestinal obstruction, pneumonia, and ultimately congestive heart failure. On March 28, 1969, Eisenhower was finally overcome, his reported final words: “I've always loved my wife, my children, and my grandchildren, and I've always loved my country. I want to go. God, take me.” For his leadership during this period, Hughes received the Distinguished Service Medal, the military's highest non-combat award.

Lot: 3284 - Three World War Two U.S. Pacific Bombardment Squadron Patches

Three World War II U.S. Pacific Theater Bombardment Squadron Patches All three patches are circular, embroidered felt construction. 1) 435th Bombardment Squadron patch, 5" diameter, featuring a kangaroo with a telescope up to its eye and a bomb held by its tail. Originally formed in 1942 as the 40th Reconnaissance Squadron, the Squadron was established in Australia to make up for a recon unit that had to be rotated back to the States after Pearl Harbor, and almost immediately was tasked to evacuate General Douglas MacArthur and President Manuel Quezon from the Philippines; having escaped Corregidor via PT boat, MacArthur's party arrived at Del Monte Field in Mindau, where an initial attempt at air evacuation had failed due to extreme wear on the available planes that could make the flight from Australia. In the second attempt, 40th Recon pilots operating newly delivered Navy B-17s (initially denied to the Army due to inter-branch friction) successfully reached Del Monte and brought MacArthur, his family, and several VIPs back to Australia. Afterwards, they would participate in the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Invasion of Papua New Guinea. The squadron would later serve as a training unit, be deactivated briefly, and then reactivated as a B-29 Superfortress squadron shortly before V-J Day. 2) 501st Bombardment Squadron patch, 4 3/4" diameter, featuring a black panther with a skeletal face in front of a crescent moon. Originally organized for deployment to Europe, the 501st was sent to Port Moresby, New Guinea, in 1943 instead, operating B-25 Mitchell bombers in both conventional bombing missions and direct strafing runs with bombers modified to carry more fixed machine guns, as well as performing sea interdiction, infantry support and resupply duties. Moving forward with the U.S. "island hopping" strategy, the 501st earned Distinguished Unit Citations for action and Rabaul and Saigon, and ended the war with attacks on ships in the Sea of Japan and runs on Kyushu Island. 3) 65th Bombardment Squadron patch, 4 1/2" diameter, featuring a moose head with a bull's-eye between the antlers and bombs striking the bull's-eye. Formed prior to American entry into World War II, the 65th spent the days after Pearl Harbor on anti-submarine patrol in the Atlantic before moving to Australia. The squadron would participate in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, support ground action on Luzon in the Philippines, and make strikes on the Home Islands and the Inland Sea. One of the 65th Squadron's B-17 crews would receive two Medals of Honor (and Distinguished Service Crosses for the rest of the crew) for successfully shooting their way out of a fight with approximately 20 enemy fighters on their way back from a photo reconnaissance mission Papua New Guinea in 1943, making them one of the most decorated aircrews in the history of American military aviation.

Activated in 1941, the 81st deployed to Egypt in 1942 to assist the British in their campaign against Rommel, participating in the Battle of Alam Halfa and the Second Battle of El Alamein, pivoting to support American ground forces once they arrived. They would later move to Sicily to support Allied action on the Italian mainland, and then to Calcutta to mount attacks in Burma and China. 2) 13th Air Corps Ferrying Squadron patch, 5" diameter, featuring a cupid-like figure with a combat helmet using an ATC "compass" as an arrow. The 13th was one of the squadrons flying the "Hump" India to China air route. 3) 19th Troop Carrier Squadron patch, 5" diameter, painted leather construction, featuring a plane flying over a Pacific Island sunset with "SOUTHERN CROSS/AIRWAYS" text. The 19th was primarily involved with troop movements in the Hawaiian islands and to forward bases in the Pacific. 4) 529th Bombardment Squadron patch, 5" diameter, with stereotypical "Indian Brave" carrying a bomber. Arriving in Australia in 1943, the 529th helped train Royal Australian Air Force crews on the B-24 Liberator bomber and mounted attacks in the East Indies, Bismarck Archipelago, and Borneo. Later, the squadron advanced to the Philippines to bomb Luzon, Formosa, and the Chinese coast. 5) 345th Bombardment Group patch, 4 3/4" diameter, with a stereotypical "war chief" head over "AIR APACHES". Moving to New Guinea in 1943, the 345th participated in both land bombing and sea interdiction, including receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation for action over Rabaul. Advancing into the Philippines and Iejima Island, the 345th was responsible for escorting the Japanese party responsible for settling the details of the surrender in Tokyo Bay on one leg of their journey to meet General MacArthur in Corregidor.

Excellent and Very Scarce U.S. Property Marked Remington Model 29 Slide Action Riot Shotgun An "AB" March 1933 date code is marked on the left of the matching numbered barrel. The Model 29 shotgun was introduced by Remington c. 1929-1930 as an improvement on the Model 10 now with a simplified mechanism, and was discontinued in 1933 after a short production run of approximately 38,000 made between a variety of grades, in part due to slow sales during the depression era and the introduction of the Model 31 with side ejection. How many Model 29 shotguns were produced in riot configuration is unknown, but this example is certainly rarer than many considering it is marked "U.S. PROPERTY" on the left of the receiver. This type of U.S. property marking has been witnessed on the Model 31 riot shotguns that were delivered by Remington to the U.S. government between 1940-1944 during the World War II era, indicating this shotgun may have been pulled out of storage around that time, as there was a large need for shotguns for the war effort. It features a 20 inch barrel marked "CYL" (over "MOD") for cylinder choke, with a 2 3/4 inch chamber and a bead front sight. It has a checkered walnut forearm and stock with a 14 inch length of pull.

World War II U.S. General Motors Guide Lamp FP-45 Liberator Single Shot Pistol with Pistol Box and Ammo Box Conceived, developed and manufactured in 1942, the "Flare Pistol, 45 Caliber" (FP-45) was intended to A) give the citizens of occupied nations a way to express their displeasure to the occupiers, B) not give the enemy anything worth salvaging, and C) be cheap. The Guide Lamp Division of General Motors was tapped to produce the firearm, a collection of sheet metal stampings and cast zinc components assembled around a smoothbore barrel. While inexperienced with arms production, Guide Lamp stepped up admirably and cranked out over a million of the deadly little contraptions in a matter of months. The pistol is devoid of markings, with three oiler holes on the left side, one on the right, and a hollow grip for ammunition storage. Included with the pistol is a waxed cardboard box, unwaxed and empty ammunition box, and copies of the "comic strip" instruction sheet.

Rogers of the U.S. Marines 2nd Raider Battalion with Holster Rig Manufactured in 1943, this U.S. Colt Model 1911A1 is identified as being the sidearm of Corporal Louis L. Rogers of the U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Raider Battalion, known as "Carlson's Raiders". The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line, two-block patent dates and address with the Rampant Colt between, while the right side is unmarked. The right side of the frame has the typical U.S. property and army markings as well as the serial number, while the left side has the "G.H.D." inspection marking and "P" proof.

Rogers, lists the Colt Model 1911A1 pistol number "904204" (a notation error off by one number) as having been used by his father during World War II in the South Pacific, with an additional note written in different handwriting noting that Rogers was with "Carlson's Raiders" on Guadalcanal and that his son believed he also served on Guam, Okinawa, and Bougainville. Another included note signed by Louis L. Rogers notes this pistol by the correct serial number and states "I got this pistol on Guadalcanal So. Pacific WW2- Sept. 1942". Given that the Guadalcanal campaign lasted into February of 1943, it is possible that Rogers acquired it during the campaign shortly after it was manufactured. No further information on Rogers' connection to the Marine Corps or the Raiders was available at this time. The U.S. Marine Corps Raider battalions were formed in 1942 to be a fast, hard-hitting elite force capable of raiding Japanese held islands and operating behind enemy lines. The 2nd Raider Battalion was led by Lieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson, seeing combat during the Guadalcanal Campaign, the raid on Makin Island, the New Georgia Campaign, and Bougainville Campaign.

Lot: 3326 - Charles Lancaster Four Barrel Thorn Patent Pistol in .476 CF

Historic Charles Lancaster Four Barrel Thorn Patent Pistol in .476 Centerfire Documented to British Officer and Sportsman Lieutenant Colonel Charles Eccles Nixon Priestley Many British officers assigned to Africa and India chose Lancasters as their personal sidearms, but the total production of these pistols is estimated at just 712 further subdivided into smaller volumes in the various calibers. These powerful multi-shot pistols were also popular among the explorers, hunters, and adventurers who wanted more stopping power when facing man and beast in various corners of the British Empire. Included consignor research, including a copy of the factory ledger listing the serial number of the pistol, indicates that this particular pistol was purchased in November 1887 by lieutenant Charles Eccles Nixon Priestley of the Welsh Regiment, who later held various ranks in the army of the British Raj, ending as lieutenant colonel in the 42nd Deoli Regiment. In Priestley's 1931 obituary, he is noted taking an officer's commission at around 18 years old, serving in Egypt, Australia, and India, as well as in the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force in World War I. He is also noted as a celebrated big game hunter and angler, all pursuits in which he would have valued this powerful sidearm. The top flute of the barrel cluster is signed "CHARLES LANCASTER (PATENT) 151. NEW BOND St. LONDON." and has a blade front sight, and the left flute is marked "476. C.F." There are Birmingham proofs on the barrels and frame. The breech face is stamped "CHARLES LANCASTER PATENT" in a circle. The serial number is marked on the trigger guard. The assembly number "84" is on some components. The butt is of bird's head type with checkered walnut grips, and a lanyard ring is present at the bottom of the grip strap.

Lot: 3327 - Scarce Wilkinson Marked Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver

Scarce Wilkinson Marked Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver with Case The Webley-Fosbery emerged in the early 1900s alongside the early semi-automatic pistols and combined the relative mechanical simplicity of the revolver with the faster firing and smooth trigger pulls of the semi-automatic pistols. The upper portion of the revolver is pushed back under recoil like the slide of a semi-automatic pistol, and the distinctive zig-zag grooves in the cylinder in conjunction rotate the cylinder. The hammer is cocked in the process as well, and cocking the hammer manually does not revolve the cylinder. This allows the pistol to be fired faster and more accurately than a double action revolver. Not surprisingly, target shooters were among the designs fans, including Walter Winans, but the design proved to be more finicky in combat situations where it might get dirty. Only around 4,750 were manufactured in 1900-1924. This one has "WILKINSON GUNMAKERS PALL MALL LONDON. S.W." on the rib indicating it was manufactured for the Wilkinson Sword Company who also retailed a variety of other Webley revolver designs. It has a blade front sight on a raised integral base, notch rear sight on the latch, "WEBLEY FOSBERY" on the left side of the top strap, "864" on the front of the barrel lug and rear of the cylinder, "4165" on the trigger guard (presumably Wilkinson's number), the bullet trademark and "455 CORDITE" on the left side of the frame, "3864" on the right side of the frame, Birmingham proofs, and checkered walnut grips. It comes in a modern custom case with a reproduction 19th century James Wilkinson & Son trade label inside the lid, empty cartridge block and a cleaning rod.

Lot: 3328 - Desirable Inscribed Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver

Desirable Inscribed Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver This is a Model 1902 variant of the Webley-Fosbery revolver designed by Lt. Col. G. V. Fosbery which utilizes a novel "automatic" mechanism. It is a true revolver with cartridges held in a six shot cylinder, but the cylinder is automatically turned by the force of recoil. The top section of the revolver slides backwards, cocks the hammer, and simultaneously indexes the cylinder one position using zig-zag grooves. This mechanism allows for a faster rate of fire compared to a standard double or single action revolver, while still maintaining the same responsive trigger pull of a single action. The Fosbery design was reported to have been as fast, if not faster, than its magazine fed semi-automatic counterparts, and just as fast to reload utilizing the top break system with a six shot speed loader. Blade front sight and the rear sight integral to the top strap latch. The top barrel rib is marked "P.WEBLEY & SON.LONDON & BIRMINGHAM." The top strap left side is marked "WEBLEY FOSBERY". The left side of the frame is marked with the "winged bullet/W&S" trademark followed by "455 CORDITE". The serial number is marked on the right side of the frame, below the cylinder arbor, and on the left side grip frame. The matching partial serial number "640" is marked on the face of the cylinder and some small parts. Fitted with checkered hard rubber grips and a lanyard loop. The back strap is inscribed with monogram initials "hTa".

Lot: 3386 - Massive Engraved Holland & Holland Punt Gun Feature on MeatEater

Massive Engraved Holland & Holland Screw Breech Punt Gun Featured on MeatEater Manufactured late 1880s. This impressive Holland & Holland 2 bore punt gun was purchased from Rock Island Auction Company in 2022 and is featured by MeatEater in the episode "Let Er Rip - Project Punt Gun" being shot by Steven Rinella and Spencer Neuharth as part of their discussion on the history of punt guns and market hunting and is also discussed on the MeatEater Podcast in Episode 895. It is being sold to benefit the MeatEater Land Access Initiative which has one mission: improving access to public lands and waters. From Montana to Maine to North Carolina, the Land Access Initiative has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to expand your hunting and fishing opportunities. See TheMeatEater.com/pages/land-access for a full list of past and current projects. Punt guns are in essence massive shotguns and draw their name from the fact that they were commonly mounted on punt boats. With the "ducks in a row", a single blast could quickly bag numerous birds for sale in meat markets, quickly depleting bird populations. As detailed by MeatEater, "Capable of bringing down over 100 birds with a single blast, these colossal shotguns (and market hunters) pushed some waterfowl species to the brink." The depletion of bird populations led to conservation efforts, including caliber regulations and bag limits that ended the use of these massive punt guns for hunting in the United States in 1918. They remained in limited use in the United Kingdom. Over time, the wildlife populations in the U.S. recovered with the support of sportsmen across the country. The grey painted heavy steel barrel has a single brass bead front sight, two trunnions and a mounting point, and "PATENT/SCREW/EXTRACTOR" in reference to Henry Hollands patent no. 152 of January 5, 1885, and "HOLLAND & HOLLAND. 98 NEW BOND STREET. LONDON" marked near the breech. The screw breech displays beautiful scroll engraving on the metal surfaces, with the exception of the trigger plate, and a solitary goose in a pond scene on the underside. "HOLLAND & HOLLAND" is marked on the top strap bordered in scroll. The sideplate is brass and also shows the same scroll engraving. The gun is fired by first slotting a shell into the breech block and then screwing the entire assembly to the barrel. Next, an internal hammer is cocked with an external cocking piece and finally released by a large ring trigger on the underside which has an attached lanyard. The stock (or tiller) section is simply for holding while sighting the gun and is built of lightly figured walnut with a semi-pistol grip to gain a better hold. Includes 2 massive 9 1/4 inch unprimed steel shells that fit the gun, one of which is custom made with a "MEATEATER" and the MeatEater deer head logo headstamp.
