This example has the attractive casehardened receiver which was standard until around the year this rifle was produced.

Lot: 1003 - Three-Digit Serial Special Order Winchester Model 1886 Rifle

Highly Desirable First Year Production Three-Digit Serial Number Antique Special Order Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in .45-90 W.C.F. with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1886, the first year of production, this is an exceptional example of an extremely early production, three-digit serial number, special ordered Winchester Model 1886 rifle. The Model 1886 was the first repeating rifle design by John Moses Browning for Winchester and was a true game changer for the company. The vertical locking lugs of Browning's design made it significantly stronger than any of the toggle link designs Winchester had in their repertoire, giving them a rifle that could chamber some of the most powerful cartridges of the time, such as .45-90 W.C.F. as this example boasts. The rifles quickly gained popularity among those who might reasonably expect to encounter particularly large or tough opponents, man or beast. Many of these rifles found their way to the American West, both as hunting rifle and a defensive tool, leaving even special ordered examples in high condition such as this quite rare on todays collectors market. Given the configuration this rifle was ordered in, it would have made an extremely handy and powerful hunting rifle or tool for self-defense. The included factory letter lists this rifle in .45-90 caliber with a half octagon barrel, plain trigger, and half magazine when received at the warehouse on 22 October 1886 and shipped on 14 February 1887 to order no. 15497. Winchester author and historian George Madis notes that approximately only one out of every 120 rifles had a part octagon or other special barrel and one out of every 150 guns had a non-standard magazine. The rifle has the highly attractive casehardened receiver that was standard on the model until around 1901. The top flat of the special order part octagon barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and "45-90 W.C.F." caliber marking at the breech. The model designation is on the upper tang, while the lower tang has the two-line patent dates and the early three-digit serial number. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver 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 crescent buttplate. Includes a later-made hardwood case with unfitted interior.

Lot: 1004 - Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1873 Rifle

Attractive and Desirable Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Casehardened Receiver and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1888, this is a fine example of a special ordered, deluxe Winchester Model 1873 rifle, famously referred to as "the gun that won the West". The Winchester '73 found its way to the frontier in very large numbers in all sorts of configurations, forging a legacy for both itself and the Winchester company. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .38 caliber with an octagon barrel, set trigger, casehardened finish, and a checkered pistol grip stock when received at the warehouse on 3 April 1888 and shipped on 4 April 1888, to order no. 6387. The special order casehardened receiver is the third model variation with the integral dust cover guide and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The top barrel flat is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, while the caliber marking is at the breech and on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The model marking is on the upper tang, and the serial number is marked on the lower tang, correctly perpendicular to the line of the rifle. The left side of the lower tang has the assembly number "1652 XX 38", with "1652" repeated in the stock inlet and inside the buttplate. The "6" and the "5" in the assembly number on the left of the tang were stamped over different numbers at the factory. It is fitted with a German silver "Rocky Mountain" type blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 22 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a very nicely figured forearm and pistol grip stock with an ebony insert at the base of the grip, both showing factory H-pattern deluxe checkering, and fitted with a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Lot: 1005 - Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in .50 Express

Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in Highly Desirable Documented .50 Express with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1900, this is a solid example of the venerable, John Moses Browning designed, Winchester Model 1886, chambered in the powerful and desirable .50-110 Express. These robust lever actions were a significant upgrade to Winchester's previous toggle-link designs, capable of chambering some of the most powerful cartridges of the time. The '86 found widespread popularity, particularly in the American West among settlers and hunters in need of a powerful rifle with immense stopping power. When chambered in a caliber like .50 Express, these rifles were certainly capable of stopping any danger in North America in its tracks. These rifles, particularly in standard configuration like this example, often saw hard use in on the unforgiving frontier, with many having not survived. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .50 Express caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 16 May 1900 and shipped on 11 March 1903 to order no. 180119. The barrel and magazine tube appear to have been shortened by approximately 1/8 of an inch during the period of use. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and the caliber marking at the breech. The model marking is on the upper tang, while the two-line patent dates and serial number are on the lower tang.

Lot: 1006 - Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Outstanding Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1903, this is an outstanding example of Winchester's iconic Model 1873, also known as "the gun that won the West". In regards to the American West, and perhaps America in general, there are few more iconic duos than the Winchester Model 1873 and the Colt Single Action Army revolver. Sharing many common calibers such as .38 W.C.F., these two guns were easily paired as a primary weapon and sidearm using the same ammunition. Made when much of the American West remained wild, this standard configuration Model 1873 has remained in incredible condition for all these years, especially considering the majority of these standard rifles were viewed as tools, seeing hard working lives. Model '73s like this one often remained in service well into the 20th century in the West, having forged a trusted legacy during the late 19th century as a rugged and dependable companion. These rifles remain one of the most recognizable firearms of the American frontier and high condition examples such as this one are highly sought after by today's collectors. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .38 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 24 February 1903 and shipped from the warehouse on 27 March 1903 along with 19 other guns in this configuration to order no. T106025. The rifle has the standard Winchester markings. 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 trapdoor crescent buttplate containing an included four-piece metal cleaning rod.

Lot: 1007 - Exceptional Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" Rifle

Exceptional Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1882, this is an exceptional example of Winchester's powerful "Centennial" rifle. The Winchester Model 1876 was designed and manufactured specifically with those in mind on the western frontier who desired more firepower than .44-40 could offer. These "big bore" Winchesters truly had the stopping power to handle just about anything thrown at them in the American West, and were the company's most powerful repeater until the introduction of the Model 1886 a decade later. The Model 1876 was a "working man's gun" and thus surviving examples typically display all the character of hard use, with this particular rifle remaining in exceptionally high condition. With only 63,871 Model 1876 rifles and carbines total having been manufactured between 1876 and 1897 surviving examples of the Centennial rifle are rare, with high condition examples being true treasures for collectors. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .45-60 caliber with an octagon barrel when received at the warehouse on 11 November 1882, and shipped on 4 December 1882, to order no. 1357. This particular example has the Third Model receiver with integral dust cover guide and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear.

The model designation is marked on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight, "1876" marked folding ladder rear sight, and a long range graduated peep sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Lot: 1009 - Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Rifle

Desirable Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle with Rare Documented Extra Length Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1892, this is a documented special order example of the lever action repeater design by the legendary John Moses Browning which was produced by Winchester and is in a very desirable, special order extra length, deluxe configuration. These Winchester Model 1886s were an immense upgrade in strength of action from the company's earlier toggle-link designs, and they were capable of handling the most powerful military and hunting cartridges of the day. These rifles gained immediate popularity, particularly in the American West, where their incredible firepower was a welcome companion to those braving the wilds of the frontier. The cartridges these rifles chambered were more than capable of handling essentially any game in North America as well as any human threats one might face. The included factory letter lists this rifle in .40-65 caliber with a 32 inch octagon barrel, set trigger, Rocky Mountain front and Lyman rear sights, and a checkered pistol grip stock when received at the warehouse on 17 December 1892 and shipped on 19 December 1892 in order no. 11638. This example has the desirable casehardened receiver which was only standard on this model until around 1901. It has standard markings as well as the assembly number "635 XX", with "635" repeated in the stock inlet, and the inside of the buttplate marked "634", which is likely simply a factory error given the one digit off proximity to the other assembly numbers. There is an additional "5" on the left of the upper tang. It is fitted with a "Rocky Mountain" blade front sight with platinum inlaid centerline, an elevation adjustable No. 22 notch rear sight, and a Lyman combination peep sight on the upper tang. It is mounted with a very nicely figured forearm and pistol grip stock, both with Winchester factory deluxe H-pattern checkering, an ebony insert in the base of the grip, and a crescent buttplate.

Exceedingly Scarce and Iconic Well-Documented Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in Desirable .44-40 W.C.F. with Extremely Rare 36 Inch Extra Length Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1906, this is an exceptional and extraordinarily rare special ordered deluxe Winchester Model 1873 rifle with a rarely seen 36 inch barrel and chambered in the highly desirable

Lot: 1012 - Antique Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Rifle

Scarce Antique Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Rare Documented Extra Length 34 Inch Round Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1885, this is a fine example of Winchester's Model 1873, "the gun that won the West", that was special ordered with a very rare 34 inch extra length barrel. These rifles provided multiple benefits to those who special ordered them, with the two most prominent being a larger magazine capacity and a longer sighting plane for increased accuracy. Large numbers of these Model 1873s saw extensive use in the American West for both hunting and protection, and this particular example certainly shows the character of a gun that served some time on the frontier. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .32 caliber with a 34 inch round barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 22 June 1885 and shipped on 12 June 1885 to order no. 21228 (the letter notes that these dates are listed this way in the ledger). The letter further notes two repair and return dates of 13 March 1891 and 20 June 1904. Specific data is not available, but the 34 inch barrels appear to be one of, if not the, most rare of the special ordered extra lengths, and we have only ever cataloged one other example here at Rock Island Auction Company. The rarity of these 34 inch barrels is likely due to 36 inches being the longest offered, so anyone interested in such a long barrel would likely just opt for the 2 inch longer 36 inch when ordering. In the discussion of barrel lengths in Gordon's "Winchester's New Model of 1873: A Tribute Vol. I", there are no 34 inch examples pictured, further indicating their rarity. Gordon also notes that of the extra length barrels he observed, around 90% of them were octagon, making this round barreled example even more scarce. The top of the special ordered 34 inch barrel is marked with the standard two-line address, while the caliber marking is at the breech and on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The upper tang is marked with the model designation, while the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a blued "Rocky Mountain" blade front sight with platinum inlaid centerline and an elevation adjustable No. 22 notch rear sight, as well as a pair of factory pattern sling swivels, which were quite possibly installed during one of the return and repair dates. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 1013 - Highly Desirable Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Rifle

Highly Desirable Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Rare Documented Extra Length 32 Inch Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1906, this is a rare and highly desirable example of a special ordered Winchester Model 1873 rifle with a scarcely seen 32 inch barrel. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .32 caliber with a 32 inch octagon barrel, plain trigger, a "Wind gauge front sight" with "no level", and a Lyman rear cup disc sight when received at the warehouse on 28 March 1906 and shipped on 29 March 1906. Winchester historian and author George Madis notes that only one out of every 600 Model 1873s was ordered with a longer than standard barrel, making rifles like this quite rare for today's collectors. Given this rifle's caliber, barrel length, and special sights, it is quite likely that it was ordered with competition shooting in mind, which was arguably America's most popular sport around the turn of the century. The Third Model receiver has the integral dust cover guide and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear, and there are Winchester factory oval proofs marked on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The top of the special ordered 32 inch barrel is marked with the standard two-line address, while the caliber marking is at the breech and on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model and trademark information, while the serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a period replaced No. 67 globe front sight, an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight, and the special ordered Lyman "disc cup" peep sight on the upper tang. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

The included factory letter lists the rifle in .32 caliber with a 30 inch octagon barrel and set trigger when received at the warehouse on 20 April 1891 and shipped on 8 August 1891 to order no. 8897. Given the caliber, extra length barrel, peep sight, and set trigger, it is highly likely that this rifle was ordered by someone prioritizing longer range accuracy. These legendary Winchester repeaters were a highly sought after long gun in the American West and often saw many years of hard use in the unforgiving environment of the frontier, leaving high condition examples like this highly sought after by the collectors of today. Winchester author and history George Madis notes that only one out of every 600 Model 1873s produced was ordered with a longer than standard barrel like this, making these rifles even more seldom seen today. This example has the Third Model receiver with the integral dust cover guide and the dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The top of the special ordered 30 inch barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, while the caliber marking is on top at the breech and 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. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight, an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight, a King peep sight mounted on the upper tang, and the factory special ordered single set trigger. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very Fine Antique Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .44-40 W.C.F. with Rare Documented Extra Length 28 Inch Barrel and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1890, this is a very fine example of a Winchester Model 1873 rifle with a special ordered 28 inch extra length barrel. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .44 caliber with a 28 inch octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 24 November 1890 and shipped on 4 June 1894 with one other Model 1873 to order no. 14566. These Model 1873s saw use on the American frontier in large numbers, becoming a legendary icon affectionately referred to as "the gun that won the West". Often seeing many years of hard use in the harsh environment of the West, relatively few examples remain in high condition like this for today's collectors. 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 special ordered 28 inch barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, while the caliber marking is at the breech and on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The model designation is on the upper tang, and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight.

Lot: 1016 - Attractive Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine

Attractive Winchester Model 1866 Smoothbore Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine with Gaines de Graffenried Letter Manufactured in 1870, this is a highly attractive example of one of the most iconic firearms of the American West; the Winchester Model 1866 saddle ring carbine. These "Yellowboy" carbines and rifles were essentially an upgraded version of the earlier Henry rifle and many of them saw extensive use on the frontier, laying the foundations of a legacy that would lead Winchester to dominating the American long gun market for over a century. This particular carbine was subsequently reconfigured for .44 Henry Centerfire, the barrel bored smooth, and wood upgraded to deluxe configuration. An included letter from Gaines de Graffenried states that this particular carbine was owned by Dr. C.H. Wilson of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1910 to 1955 and that Dr. Wilson was a world champion pistol shot. The letter further notes that C.H. Wilson was pictured on p. 375 of the 1961 publication of "The Winchester Book" by George Madis. It is quite possible that this particular carbine was bored smooth for exhibition shooting of aerial targets such as clays or glass target balls with shot cartridges. The top of the barrel has the faint two-line Winchester address and King's patent marking, while the serial number is on the lower tang behind the trigger. It is fitted with a blade front sight integral to the barrel band, a two-leaf rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a carbine type forearm and straight grip stock, both with deluxe checkering similar to that seen on early Model 1873s, and a crescent buttplate.

Lot: 1017 - Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Lightweight Rifle

Attractive Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 Lightweight Lever Action Takedown Rifle Manufactured in 1905, this is attractive, special ordered, "lightweight" deluxe example of Winchester's robust Model 1886. The .33 W.C.F. cartridge came about after years of smokeless powder experimentation by Winchester, particularly with necking down the powerful .45-70 cartridge, eventually resulting in a high velocity, potent round that was popular among hunters for North American large game at medium ranges and in thick brush. This particular rifle was certainly special ordered in a very desirable, lightweight, hunting configuration. The included Cody Firearms Records Office research lists it in .33 caliber with a round barrel, half magazine, plain trigger, takedown configuration, and with a plain checkered pistol grip stock with a rubber shotgun buttplate when received at the warehouse on 12 July 1905 and shipped on 14 July 1905 to order no. 15892. It has standard markings. The left side of the lower tang is marked "574 R", with "574" repeated in the stock inlet. The left side of the upper tang is stamped "REFINISHED", indicating a factory refurbishment. It is fitted with a Lyman "Hunter" beaded blade front sight on a ramped base and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight. It is mounted with a very finely figured forearm and pistol grip stock, both with factory H-pattern checkering, a hard rubber grip cap, and a checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate. Though listed as "plain" in the factory ledger, the grade of the wood was likely upgraded at no extra cost by the factory due to the other special ordered features.

Lot: 1019 - Fine Antique Winchester Model 1886 Rifle in .45-70 W.C.F.

Fine Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle in Highly Desirable .45-70 Government Manufactured in 1892, this is a fine example of Winchester's Model 1886 rifle designed by John Moses Browning. The design for the '86 offered a significant advancement in strength of action for the Winchester lineup, and it was their first departure from the weaker toggle-link designs that had served them well for two decades. These 1886s, with their strong vertical locking lugs, were capable of handling some of the most powerful cartridges of the day, including the popular and widely available .45-70, which was the government standard at the time. These rifles found wide popularity in the American West, proving to be dependable and hard-hitting against any threat one might face. This example has the attractive casehardened frame which was standard on the model until around 1901, and it has standard markings. It is fitted with a German silver "Rocky Mountain" blade front sight and a folding ladder rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" Lever Action Rifle Manufactured in 1883, this is a fine example of Winchester's powerful "Centennial" rifle. The Winchester Model 1876 was designed and manufactured specifically with those in mind on the western frontier who desired more firepower than .44-40 could offer.

Fine Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle Manufactured in 1884, this is a fine example of "the gun that won the West", Winchester's Model 1873.

The 1873 was particularly highly regarded due to sharing many calibers with Colt's "Peacemaker", allowing someone armed with both to have a long gun and a sidearm chambered in the same caliber. These 1873 rifles and carbines would have been seen in the hands of people from all walks of life, including settlers, Native Americans, lawmen, outlaws, and ranchers, and were valuable tools for both putting food on the table as well as self-defense. The top of the barrel is marked with standard two-line address and King's patent marking. The caliber marking is on top of the barrel at the breech and on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The model marking is on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a No. 21 German silver blade front sight and an elevation adjustable No. 24 notch rear sight.

Outstanding Very Early Production Three-Digit Serial Number Whitney-Kennedy Large Frame Lever Action Rifle in .45-60 W.C.F. Manufactured c. 1879, the first year of production, this is an extraordinary example of the desirable Whitney-Kennedy Large Frame lever action rifle. These Large Frame rifles from the Whitneyville Armory were a direct competitor with Winchester's Model 1875 and later Model 1886, as well as the Model 1881 offered by Marlin. Much like their competitors, these large caliber Whitney repeaters found popularity in the American West, where their potent cartridges and large magazines made them a welcome companion on the frontier. This particular example was made very early in production as the serial numbering for these rifles began at 1 and ran to 5000 before starting over with a series of letter prefixes, meaning that this particular rifle was only the 293rd produced by Whitney. These Whitney-Kennedy rifles were produced until the Whitney company went under, being sold off to the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. The top flat of the barrel has the one-line Whitneyville Armory marking, which is lightly struck, followed by "KENNEDY", as well as the caliber marking at the breech. The two-line patent marking is on the upper tang. The serial number is on the lower tang and the left of the lever arm.

These Marlin Model 1888s are very rare and significant in their own right, being the company's last top ejecting lever action design prior to utilizing L.L. Hepburn's patent for side ejection on the Model 1889, which would carry on through their lever action repeaters going forward.

The top flat of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and patent dates, as well as the caliber marking at the breech. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver.

Antique Special Order Marlin Model 1881 Lever Action Rifle in Highly Desirable .45-70 Government with Inscribed Plaque Manufactured in 1883, this is an attractive and desirable example of the robust Marlin Model 1881 rifle, the company's first repeating rifle design. These rifles incorporated various patents, including from Andrew Burgess and John Marlin himself, creating a rifle stronger than any repeater on the market at the time and capable of handling the most powerful cartridges of the day but also making it one of the most expensive on the market. The Model 1881 immediately outclassed Winchester's toggle-link action offerings of the period but would only enjoy this superiority for about five years before Winchester counter-punched with the John Moses Browning designed Model 1886. This example has the standard Marlin markings. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, an elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a pair of special ordered double set triggers. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a smooth steel shotgun buttplate and a German silver presentation plaque on the left. The plaque is engraved with "Presented to/L.J. Moorhead/By Boulder Hose No. 1/Dec. 1. 1883." in four lines. The identity of L.J.

Sedgley c. the mid-1920s. In the early 20th century the Sedgley firm had become known as one of the premier names in sporting and competition rifles and they are known by knowledgeable collectors to have purchased Winchester's remaining Model 1885 parts around 1923, advertising "The New Sedgley Winchester Single Shot Rifle" in newspapers shortly after. It is also quite possible that this particular Model 1885 was originally built by Winchester as a standard High Wall musket before being sent to P.F. Sedgley and built in this current configuration, which varies slightly from the standard musket pattern. The top of the barrel is marked "P.F. SEDGLEY INC. PHILA PA.USA.", while the left of the barrel at the breech is marked "CAL. 22.W.C.F./HORNET" and has an "(S)" Sedgley proof.

According to Marcot, Paxton, and Marron in "Sharps Firearms: Model 1878 'Borchardt Patent' Rifles & Other Models", only 44 of these rare rifles are listed in the factory ledgers, with almost half of them being listed in the factory ledgers on the "expense accounts" and sent out as prizes for rifle matches or to influential military men. This particular rifle is listed by serial number in that book as having shipped to R.B. Yates, Secretary (organization not listed) in Rochester, New York, on 21 September 1878 and was invoiced as a Model 1878 Officer's Rifle for $15 as order no. 5907. Period New York newspapers list a Colonel R.B. Yates on multiple occasions, primarily involved in competition shooting and appearing to have been involved with the New York National Guard. These rifles generally followed the Model 1878 Military rifle pattern but were fitted with deluxe wood panels on the receiver, similar to some of the higher end sporting variations of the Borchardt. Frank Sellers noted that these rifles are rarely seen with special ordered features as they were sent out complimentary by the factory to the lucky recipients. This example remains in truly extraordinary condition and certainly has the look of having been treated like a treasured prize. The top of the barrel has the standard "Old Reliable" marking as well as the Sharps Bridgeport address. The bottom of the action has the one-line patent date and the serial number. It is fitted with a block blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight (sliding adjustable notch absent), sling swivels on the upper barrel band and front bottom of the receiver, and a checkered steel buttplate.

Attractive Hartley & Graham Conversion U.S. Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Sporting Rifle The serial number dates to 1874. Hartley & Graham of New York purchased some surplus U.S. Springfield Trapdoor rifles c. late 1870s to early 1880s and had them converted into sporting rifles intended to satisfy demand hunters and the western buffalo trade, with the conversion work believed to have been done by Whitney Arms. These rifles can be seen advertised in Hartley & Graham's catalogs of 1889 and 1903 and offered in .40 and .45 calibers for the price of $12. A picture of the advertisement of these rifles from Hartley & Graham's 1903 catalog is shown on page 34 of "Rare Trapdoor Springfields, Part 2: The Marksmans Model" by Archer Jackson in Volume No. 17 Spring 1968 of American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletins with a brief description on page 32 that incorrectly confuses them with the Long Range rifles known to have been made by Springfield. The unaddressed barrels are believed to have been a surplus product of the Sharps company that were purchased from the company after their bankruptcy by Hartley & Graham. It has an octagon sporting barrel with six-groove rifling, a Rocky Mountain type blade front sight, buckhorn notch ladder rear sight, and a sporting stock with a horn forend tip and checkering. The full serial number "20521" is marked on top of the receiver and matching partial "521" is the only marking on the bottom breech area of the barrel.

The No. 53 appears to have been an uncatalogued model that Stevens offered, and it is also skipped over by Norm Flayderman in his guide book. Examples of this model are very scarce and all appear to have been quite special ordered. We have catalogued two previous examples here at Rock Island Auction Company, one of which was covered by Grant on p. 37 of "Still More Single Shots", where the author noted that it was the only No. 53 he had ever seen. The action is attractively factory etched with a panel scene of a stag on the right and a hunting dog on the left, both surrounded by floral scrolls on a matted background. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line J. Stevens A&T Co. address, while the "28-30" caliber marking is on the upper left flat. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the barrel just in front of the forearm, while "22" and "1" are marked under the forearm. The "22" marking denotes that the barrel has been relined, and the firing pin has been converted to rimfire. The serial number is also on the lower tang, with the second "3" obscured by a screw. The front of the frame has the "53" model marking, as well as "1/P" and "9".

Lot: 1070 - Gillespie Percussion Side by Side Combination Gun

Finely Engraved, Gold and Silver Inlaid Gillespie New York Percussion Side by Side Combination Gun Demand for firearms in the United States surged in the mid-19th century as thousands headed to the West in search of fortune during the California Gold Rush and abolitionist and pro-slavery forces squared off in Kansas. Combination guns like this one were particularly well-suited for travelers as they offered the long range and accuracy of a rifle and the close range stopping power and versatility of a shotgun, but they remained comparatively rare, likely in large part due to their added cost, but that did not stop men of means from acquiring fine combinations guns which had historically been owned largely by the aristocracy in Europe. This fine American combination gun from the mid-19th century features an approximately 12 bore smoothbore, Damascus twist barrel on the left and a "CAST STEEL" marked approximately .40 caliber rifled barrel on the right. The upper rib has a bead front sight and adjustable sporting notch rear sight and is marked "GILLESPIE". George H. D. Gillespie of New York City was active c. 1840-1870 as a gun maker and dealer particularly known by collectors for selling copies of Henry Deringer's iconic pocket pistols. The underside of the rifle barrel is marked "J. W WILKINSON N-Y" towards the breech. Swinney in "The New York State Firearms Trade Volume 4" records John W. Wilkinson in New York City in the 1830s-1840s and then Newburgh in 1860-1882. The rib extension has an inlaid gold band, and the breech plugs have scroll engraving that coordinates with the engraving on the locks and other mounts. The right trigger is single set, and the left is plain. The ramrod ferrules appear to have been shifted a couple of inches to the rear in the period of use. The patchbox lid is inscribed with the initials "WHS", and an engraved silver star is inlaid on the cheekpiece. The stock features fine checkering with molded borders on the wrist.

Lot: 1072 - Factory Engraved Tipping & Lawden Sharps Patent Pepperbox

Excellent Factory Engraved Tipping & Lawden Sharps Patent Four-Shot Pepperbox Pistol with Case Inscribed to A.F. Thistlethwayte and Cased Queen's Messenger Badge 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 and produced around 6,000 of them 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. Included with this derringer is a beautifully figured hardwood case with shield and banner shaped escutcheons on the lid, the shield engraved with a rampant lion and torse, and the banner inscriber with "A.F. Thistlethwayte. The inscription is believed to be to Augustus Frederick Thistlethwayte, a wealthy English gentleman and sportsman. Period sources often refer to Thistlethwayte as an eccentric who is said to have fired a pistol into the ceiling to summon his servants, and his wife, Laura Eliza Jane Seymour Bell, also had quite an intriguing rise in standing from a prostitute in Belfast. In 1887, Thistlethwayte was found in a locked room, killed by a single gunshot with a revolver in his hand. The case also contains an ivory handled screwdriver and cleaning rod, as well as an oiler. Also included is a cased "VR" cypher marked "Queen's Messenger" badge. It is unknown if Thistlethwayte was ever officially a Queen's messenger, but he was certainly of adequate standing.

Lot: 1073 - Silver Plated Colt No. 2 Derringer in .41 Centerfire

Extremely Scarce Factory Engraved and Silver Plated Colt No. 2 Derringer in Very Rare .41 Centerfire with Ivory Grips Manufactured c. 1870 to 1890, this is an extremely scarce and very fine example of Colt's No. 2 derringer that is in the seldom seen centerfire configuration and found its way to Great Britain. According to Norm Flayderman, an estimated 200 of these derringers were produced in centerfire configuration, and they are extremely scarce on today's collectors market in any configuration. Only approximately 9,000 of these No. 2 derringers were produced in total, making them relatively scarce even in the standard rimfire configuration. Interestingly, the Colt No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 derringers were essentially produced and marketed concurrently until the No. 1 and No. 2 were dropped from production in 1890. These No. 2 derringers were one of the few Colt models to come standard with factory engraving across nearly all of the production run. This example has the standard flourishes of floral scroll engraving on the sides of the frame and top of the back strap. There are British proofs on the bottom of the barrel. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line address as well as the model marking. The bottom of the frame is stamped "P" in front of the trigger. The matching serial number is on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and partial matching number is on the inside of each grip panel in pencil.

Lot: 1074 - First Year Production Colt House Model "Cloverleaf" Revolver

Well-Documented Factory Engraved First Year Production Colt House Model "Cloverleaf" Spur Trigger Revolver Manufactured in 1871, the first year of production, this is a very attractive example of Colt's "House Pistol", also known as the "Cloverleaf" Model due to its distinct four-shot cylinder. This revolver is pictured and described on p. 184 of "The William M. Locke Collection" by Frank Sellers. Only approximately 7,500 of these distinct, "cloverleaf" House Model revolvers produced by Colt between 1871 and 1876 according to Flayderman, making attractive examples like this fairly scarce. The top of the barrel has the two-line model and address flanked by Maltese crosses. The matching serial number is on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and hand written in ink inside both grip panels. The sides of the frame and top of the back strap show the attractive flourishes of factory floral scroll engraving. It has standard features including smooth walnut grips.

Lot: 1075 - Bulbous Frame Pair of Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringers

Extremely Scarce and Highly Desirable Early Production "Bulbous Frame" Pair of Three-Digit Serial Number Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringers, Serial Numbers 166 and 168 with Rare Factory Picture Box -A) Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringer Extremely Scarce and Highly Desirable Early Production "Bulbous Frame" Pair of Three-Digit Serial Number Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringers, Serial Numbers 166 and 168 with Rare Factory Picture Box -A) Colt Third Model "Thuer" Derringer These derringers were introduced in 1870 and totaled around 48,000 produced, while only around 1,800 of these very early production examples were made. This incredible pair of derringers are separated by just one serial number and are the "First Type, earliest production" as defined by Norm Flayderman, of which only approximately 200 were made. These early production "First Type" derringers are distinguished by having the high hammer spur, raised bolster or "bulbous" lower forward portion of the frame, and small "COLT" markings in block letters on top of the barrel. These early Colt Third Model derringers were widely popular to tuck away in a coat pocket or purse as a last line of defense, leaving very few with significant amounts of finish, making them highly collectible in almost any condition. The "B" gun of this pair, serial number 166, is pictured on p. 181 of "The William M. Locke Collection" by Frank Sellers. Given the similar wear patterns on these two guns, it is quite possible that they left the factory as a pair and were later reunited, or simply that only the "B" gun was photographed for the previously mentioned book. The top of the barrels have a rounded blade front sight and small block letter "-COLT-" marking. The early production three-digit serial numbers are stamped on the left of the grip frames under the grips, on the bottom of the barrels, and hand-marked in ink on the insides of all the grips. They are both fitted with smooth walnut grips and both have blued barrels with silver plated brass frames. Included with this extraordinary pair is an extremely scarce Colt factory picture box featuring a Rampant Colt on the lid of the box and having the interior fitted for a pair of derringers.

Lot: 1077 - Wilbur Glahn Factory Engraved Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Highly Attractive Well-Documented Wilbur Glahn Factory Deluxe "C" Coverage Engraved Colt First Generation Single Action Army Revolver with Carved Eagle Pearl Grip and Factory Letter Colt Single Action Army revolvers factory engraved by Wilbur Glahn are among the finest pieces of American artistry in firearms. The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver as part of two guns of the same type in a shipment on April 10, 1920, to Richards & Conover in Kansas City, Missouri, for J.W. Dinkin Hardware Co., in .45 caliber with a 4 3/4 inch barrel, blue finish, and grip type not listed. The revolver was subsequently returned to the factory and masterfully engraved by Wilbur Glahn while he was responsible for most of the engraving at Colt between c. 1919-1950 and is wearing a set of attractive unnumbered factory pearl grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions and a relief carved patriotic eagle on the right side. The Single Action Army itself is arguably the most iconic handgun in history, and over 357,000 were manufactured prior to World War II. However, though many of the most famous Single Action Army revolvers were engraved, using the most liberal statistics, only 2,500 pre-war Colt Single Action Army revolvers were factory engraved. This exact revolver is pictured on page 559 of "The Colt Engraving Book: Volume Two" by R.L. Wilson in which the related caption on page 558 states, "Sometime in the mid 1930s the revolver was returned to the Colt factory for engraving and fitting of the pearl grips. Design included on the front sight. By Wilbur Glahn, C style. (The Brig and Louise Pemberton Collection)". The revolver features Wilbur Glahn's distinctive high quality floral pattern factory engraving on beaded backgrounds covering approximately 80% of the surfaces including the front sight, barrel, ejector rod head and housing, frame, cylinder, loading gate, trigger guard, and rear grip strap. The fact that the front sight is engraved on this particular revolver is noteworthy, as this is uncommon on factory engraved Single Action Army revolvers. It has a blade front sight and frame-top groove rear sight. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line Colt Hartford address in an engraved panel and "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" is on the left in a coordinating panel. Two-line patent date markings and a Rampant Colt are surrounded by engraving on the left of the frame. An "X" is marked above a triangle "VP" proof on the left side of the trigger guard. The factory refurbishment number "578" is marked on the front of the cylinder, loading gate, and sides of the grip straps. The matching visible full serial number is marked on the frame and grip straps, matching partial "71" is on the rear of the cylinder, and assembly number "735" is on the loading gate and rear of the frame.

Lot: 1080 - Three-Digit Serial Number Colt Burgess Lever Action Rifle

Exceptional First Year Production Three-Digit Serial Number Colt Burgess Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1883, this is a very early production three digit serial number example of Colt's Burgess repeater that remains in exceptionally fine condition. The Colt Burgess rifles and carbines were only available from 1883 to around 1885, and only 6,403 were manufactured. They were designed by Andrew Burgess, who held 894 patents by the end of his life. Though they were made in small numbers, the high quality and robust nature of these rifles certainly made them highly sought after in the American West, where they could be readily paired with a Colt Frontier Six Shooter in the same caliber. According to legend, Colt and Winchester came to an agreement that Colt would exit the lever action market and Winchester would not release a revolver, both sticking to handguns and long guns respectively. Whether the tale of this deal is true or not remains up for debate but there seems to be little other reason for Colt to have discontinued these fine repeating arms so quickly after they introduced them, as the Burgess is arguably significantly more advanced and refined than the Winchester Model 1873, which would have been its stiffest competition at the time. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .44-40 caliber with a 25 1/2 inch round barrel, blue finish, and wood stocks when shipped to E.K. Tryon Jr. & Co. in Philadelphia on 4 August 1883 as one of ten guns of its type in the shipment. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and patent dates. The Rampant Colt is on the left of the receiver and the early production three-digit serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a period replaced brass blade front sight, elevation adjustable notch rear sight, and a folding peep sight mounted on the upper tang. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with small compass inlet on the right side and a trapdoor crescent buttplate.

Lot: 1088 - Outstanding Antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Outstanding Antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver with Factory Letter The factory letter states the revolver was shipped on November 3, 1881 to Hartley & Graham of New York City, chambered in .45 caliber and with blue finish along with the barrel length and stocks not listed, a common indication of 7 1/2 inches and walnut. This was a 50 gun shipment. There are few firearms that exude the character, grit, and style of the American Frontier like the Colt Single Action Army revolver. The revolver found itself almost immediately popular as a sidearm upon its release in the mid-late 1800s, and that popularity continued well into the 20th century among those with a desire for unwaveringly reliable firepower. In the words of Colt author and expert David Brown, "[T]he Colt Single Action Army .45 was 'the soldier's friend' throughout the remaining years of the Indian Wars in the West. Adopted also with equal enthusiasm by civilians, it was the pet and the 'good right arm' of lawman and outlaw alike on every American frontier of its era" ("The 36 Calibers of the Colt Single Action Army," page 70). As a "working gun of the frontier" high condition early production examples of the legendary Peacemaker in .45 Long Colt are a rarity on the collector's market and are therefore highly sought after by collectors. This stunning example will certainly make a grand statement to any Colt Single Action Army or Western collection. It certainly rates as one of the finest examples we have had the pleasure of cataloging. The barrel has the crisp one-line "COLT'S PT.F.A MFG. Co HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." legend on the top. The left side of the frame has the standard three patent dates marking in three lines on the left side. The caliber designation "45 CAL" is stamped on the left side of the trigger guard. Matching full serial numbers appear on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. The cylinder has the matching partial serial number "5199." The ejector rod housing was not removed to check the barrel serial number out of respect for the condition, but without a doubt the barrel is original to the gun. The revolver is fitted with a one-piece varnish walnut grip.

The left of the barrel has the highly desirable "COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER" in an acid etched panel. Around 1890, this highly desirable etched panel was replaced with a roll stamped marking.

Nimschke New York Engraved and Gold Washed Colt House Model "Cloverleaf" Spur Trigger Revolver with Pearl Grips and "Coin Purse" Case Manufactured in 1871, the first year of production, this is one of approximately 7,500 manufactured known as the "cloverleaf" variation, due to the shape of their four-shot cylinder. This particular example is a truly extraordinary, New York engraved and gold washed deluxe example worthy of exhibition or a lavish presentation. Given the quality and themes of the engraving on this striking revolver, it is undoubtedly the work of the legendary L.D. Nimschke, one of the most talented and influential American engravers of the 19th century. During the time period this revolver was produced, Colt is known to have contracted Nimschke to engrave some of their most elaborate pieces, including many of the deluxe revolvers that were displayed at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Along with the extravagant engraving, this revolver received a stunning gold washed finish over silver plating, truly elevating it to among the elite during its era as well as today among collectors. The engraving on this particular example encompasses about three-quarters of the surfaces showing primarily magnificently executed floral scrollwork on beaded backgrounds, as well as some other typical motifs of Nimschke's work including cross-hatched panels and kidney shapes. The top of the barrel has the standard two-line address flanked by Maltese crosses. The matching serial number is on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and hand-marked in pencil on the inside of both grip panels. It is fitted with a blade front sight and a frame-top groove rear sight, as well as a pair of highly attractive smooth pearl grips. Included with this revolver is an attractive red velvet coin purse type case.

Lot: 1094 - Antique Colt London Single Action Army Revolver in .476 Caliber

Highly Desirable Documented Nickel Plated Antique Colt London Single Action Army Revolver in Exceptionally Rare .476 Eley Offered here is a very desirable 1887 production nickel plated Colt London Single Action Army revolver chambered in .476 Eley, the largest factory caliber Colt offered in the Single Action Army. This is one of only 5 examples recorded as manufactured in this specific configuration in .476 caliber with a 5 1/2 inch barrel and nickel finish per page 379 of "The Official Record of the Colt Single Action Army Revolver 1873-1895" by the Wilkersons and Hoyt, which lists a total of 163 made in .476 caliber in 5 configurations. Nearly all of the .476 Single Action Army revolvers were sold overseas with an extremely small percentage of those having returned to the United States. The first known shipment for 100 of the .476 Single Action Army revolvers was to Colt’s London Agency in October 1885. Many of these .476 revolvers ended up heading to South Africa and Australia. The Colt Single Action Army Revolver is arguably the most famous American revolver of all time and was also marketed overseas. Entering foreign markets required chambering the American design in foreign cartridges. Cartridges such as .450, .455, and .476 catered to British customers, and Single Action Army revolvers chambered in these cartridges have become highly sought after by collectors today due to their relative scarcity. To accommodate the rim size of the cartridge, the standard frame had to be cut to achieve more cylinder space. Also known as the Enfield Mark III Ball cartridge, the .476 was introduced in 1881 and phased out in 1887 but continued to be produced at the Woolrich Arsenal until March 1893 and the Dum Dum ammunition factory in India until 1918. The cartridge was used for a short time in British service before being replaced by the .455 Webley Mark I. This is an exceedingly rare caliber to find in Colt model revolvers of the era, especially those in the United States. The barrel has the one-line Colt Pall Mall London address on top. "476 CAL" is marked on the left side of the trigger guard. The left of the frame has the three-line patent date markings. London proofs are marked on the underside of the barrel and behind each cylinder flute. Matching visible full serial numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, and butt; matching partial "264" is on the rear of the cylinder, unnumbered grips, and assembly number "31" is on the loading gate. The revolver is wearing correct factory checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colt logos and patriotic eagles. This exact revolver is mentioned by serial number and configuration on page 232 of "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia: Volume 2" by Keith Cochran.

Lot: 1097 - Factory Engraved Colt Single Action Army with Pearl Grips

Factory Engraved Antique Colt Single Action Army Revolver with Pearl Grips and Factory Letter The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver shipped on March 13, 1883, to Simmons Hardware Company in St. Louis, Missouri, confirming it as factory engraved in .45 caliber, nickel finish, barrel length and type of grips not listed, as one of 10 guns of the same type in the shipment. It is estimated there were only as many as 4,500 total factory engraved First Generation Single Action Army revolvers between 1873-1940, accounting for an extremely small percentage of production based on a total of just over 357,000. The high quality engraving on this revolver displays the characteristics of deluxe patterns associated with Colt Master Engraver Cuno Helfricht and his shop. Helfricht spent his nearly 50 year career exclusively with the Colt firm (1871-1921). During his tenure with Colt, Helfricht saw the transition from percussion to cartridge firearms and a rapidly growing market for engraved firearms. At the height of the firearm engraving fad, Helfricht oversaw a shop of six engravers. By the turn of the century, experts believe that Helfricht did most of the work himself with the help from one to two assistants. Helfricht's successor's included famed Colt engravers Wilbur Glahn and William Gough. The revolver is embellished with wonderful factory engraving consisting of floral scrollwork on beaded backgrounds, with fan motifs on the recoil shield, loading gate, and top of the back strap, and wavy zig-zag line and dot designs. The one-line Colt Hartford address is stamped on top of the barrel, "45 CAL" is on the left of the trigger guard, and the three-line patent dates are on the left of the frame. Matching visible full serial numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard and butt, matching partial "8182" is on the rear of the cylinder, and assembly number "6537" is on the loading gate.

These House Model revolvers, along with the Open Top Pocket Model revolver, were two of the first revolvers produced by Colt which had been designed from the ground up to use metallic cartridges. These revolvers were more often than not carried in pockets, leading to most blue and silver finished examples showing significant wear, leaving high condition examples such as this incredibly scarce.

The revolver has the distinctive hammer with rimfire firing pin secured by two pins and a rectangular hammer slot in the frame. The unnumbered barrel has the one-line Colt Hartford address marked on top. The two-line patent dates are marked on the left of the frame. The ejector rod has a bullseye head. Matching visible serial full numbers are marked on the frame, trigger guard, cylinder (first digit not visible) and butt.

Lot: 1115 - Exceptional David F. Clark U.S. Colt Cavalry Single Action Army

Exceptional David F. Clark Inspected U.S. Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army Revolver Offered here is a beautiful original 1885 production David F. Clark inspected U.S. contract Colt Cavalry Model Single Action Army revolver. David F. Clark was the official U.S. Ordnance Sub-Inspector during the 1880s period, 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. This revolver clearly escaped the Ordnance Department recall of 1893 and remains in a high state of condition with it's original 7 1/2 inch Cavalry Model barrel length. It was likely issued to a state militia, where it would have remained in storage at one of the state armories until it was returned unused to the Springfield Armory. It is known that a very limited amount of these revolvers that were held in storage were later released for public sale by the U.S. government. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the one-line address "COLT'S PT. F. A. MFG Co HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.-" and the frame has the roll-stamped three-line Colt patent date markings followed by a "U.S" property mark. "P" proofmarks are stamped on the underside of the barrel and side of the cylinder. Matching visible full serial numbers marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard, and butt of the back strap, with matching partial "5822" on the cylinder and barrel beneath the ejector housing, and assembly number "171" on the loading gate. It has a blade front sight, a frame-top groove rear sight, and a matching number smooth one-piece walnut grip. The left side of the grip is dated "1885" above an oval bordered script letter "FH" cartouche of Frank Heath, and the right side of the grip has David F. Clark's script letter "DFC" cartouche.

Lot: 1118 - U.S. Springfield Model 1875 Officer's Model Trapdoor Rifle

Desirable U.S. Springfield Model 1875 Officer's Model Trapdoor Rifle Only 477 Officer's Model rifles were manufactured by the Springfield Armory between 1875 and 1885 to fulfill the request by U.S. Army officers for suitable sporting rifles for use in hunting and target shooting. Of those, only 252 are estimated to have been this second type exhibiting features of the Model 1877 and 1879. These are easily among the most desirable of all the rifles manufactured by the Springfield Armory considering they are higher quality than standard martial weapons and were specifically produced for military officers. They are not serial numbered. It is embellished with finely executed traditional acanthus scroll and floral engraving on the forend cap, barrel band, action, lock, trigger guard, and buttplate tang (also "US" marked). The special shorter 26 inch barrel has a folding combination bead and globe front sight in place of the military front sight, a rear sight graduated 1 to 5 on the base and 6-12 on the ladder, and "V/P/eagle head" markings near the breech. In addition, it features a folding peep sight graduated 1-10 on the left side, checkered stock stamped with a circled "P" on the underside just behind the grip checkering and "58" near the upper tang and a hickory cleaning rod with German silver tip fitted below the barrel. An accompanying letter from University of Arizona Regents Professor Emeritus C. Vance Haynes, Jr. dates the manufacture of the rifle as "either in the last three months of 1878 or the first three months of 1879." An included letter from noted gun collector and dealer Leroy Merz authenticates the rifle. Merz concludes, "Throughout my many years as a gun dealer, I have come across, seen and owned a number of 1875 Officers Models. My recollection of the ones I have owned, this one ranks right at the top in originality and condition....[T]his rifle is a very fine piece of American history and it is in absolutely wonderful condition."

Indian Wars Era U.S. Spencer Model 1865 Repeating Saddle Ring Carbine Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. manufactured the Model 1865 carbines c. 1865-1866, with the first deliveries in April 1865, serial numbered in the approximate range 1-23000 per page 633 of "Flayderman's Guide, 9th Edition". This model is chambered for use with 56-50 "50 Spencer" rimfire. Spencers were favored for their repeating capability, and saw continued use by the U.S. Army in the American West during the Indian Wars era, where they were active in various conflicts with Native American tribes. This example does not have provisions for a Stabler cut-off (about half had it) and has a removable seven-round spring-loaded tube magazine inside the buttstock. "M.1865" is stamped on top of the barrel at the breech, and the Spencer Boston address and patent date are lightly factory stamped on top of the receiver. Two bordered script inspection cartouches are stamped on the left side of the stock, with small single letter inspection initials on various components.

Lot: 1120 - U.S. Springfield Model 1865 First Allin Conversion Trapdoor

U.S. Springfield Model 1865 "First" Allin Conversion Trapdoor Rifle with Bayonet The trapdoor design was developed by Springfield Arsenal Master Armorer Erskine Allin at the close of the Civil War in an effort to update the substantial number of percussion rifles that were on hand and then obsolete. A key aspect of the design is that it was very inexpensive and easy to operate. Only 5,000 of these First Model Allins (also known as the Model 1865) were manufactured before production shifted to the simpler, centerfire Model 1866 rifles, and thus, all surviving First Model Allin rifles are very desirable. The overall design and philosophy of the conversion (remove a section of the breech, mill a chamber into the barrel, and install a hinged breechblock) remained consistent through all produced versions of Allin's system. However, the First Model has some special features such as the retention of a .58 caliber bore, a more sweeping profile to the top of the breechblock, and a spring loaded extractor/ejector assembly. The ejector/extractor was eliminated from later models in favor of less intricate and delicate extraction system. It also retains the original Civil War era sights and some of the markings including a partial "1864" date on the barrel and "1865" on the lock. The right side of the stock is marked "NO. 9," and the left flat has two cartouches including Allin's "ESA" stamp. Includes a socket bayonet.

This example is one of small amount of New Model 1859 carbines within the 40000-44000 serial range made without provisions for a sling bar on the left and with a rifle buttstock believed to have been originally made for the U.S. Navy.

Reese of the 3rd Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which was mustered into service on 14 May 1898 for war with Spain. The regiment was headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, and was stationed at various bases around the United States before being mustered out of service on 7 November 1898. The period applied inscription on this revolver reads "PRESENTED TO LIEUT./R.P. REESE/BY EMPLOYEES OF THE/C.K.C.S. & R. Co./MAY 7' 98". The company in the inscription is the Consolidated Kansas City Smelting & Refining Co., which was located in the Argentine district of Kansas City, Kansas, and is noted as being one of the largest, if not the largest, smelting and refining companies in the country at the time. A copy of a newspaper article from 7 May 1898 notes that employees of the company presented Reese with a "handsome new revolver" that was "of the very latest model, being a 38 caliber army Colt." The included factory letter lists the revolver in .38 caliber with a 6 inch barrel, blue finish, and rubber grips when shipped to Simmons Hardware Co. in St. Louis on 11 May 1898 in a shipment containing 20 guns of this type (day of shipment is believed to be a factory error given the date of the presentation).

As noted in the extensive accompanying documentation, the sword was presented to Captain John Barkley Fisher (1866-1939) at a ceremonial dinner on September 27, 1902, as published in the Altoona Morning Tribune on September 29, 1902 (article copy included). Fisher joined Company D of the 8th Regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard when it was mustered into service on May 12, 1898, and served as a 1st LT in the Spanish-American War (Puerto Rican Expedition) from June 28 through November 16, 1898, under the command of General Nelson Miles. He became commanding officer of Company D in 1900, serving as Captain beginning in November of that year. His unit was stationed in Duryea, Pennsylvania during the Anthracite Coal Strikes of 1902, which saw one of the largest military mobilizations in Pennsylvania since the Civil War, as Governor William Stone deployed the entire State National Guard to the coalfields due to the great upheaval created by this massive strike. Often referred to as "The Great Coal Strike of 1902", it was one of the most turbulent in United States history with its many killings and violence. It ultimately involved major political and business leaders, including President Theodore Roosevelt, who personally intervened and oversaw the federal and state response and negotiations. Coal company owners such as J. P. Morgan were also heavily involved, with Morgan leading their response and working hand-in-hand with President Roosevelt and his Cabinet officers. Documentation includes numerous newspaper article copies concerning Capt. Fisher, and a detailed history of his military service, his civilian career in the railroad industry and his life and family.

Outstanding Presentation Cased Colt Third Model Dragoon Percussion Revolver This exceptional cased Colt Third Model Dragoon was manufactured in 1851 and remains in extraordinarily high condition. Many of the Colt Dragoons saw extensive use on the antebellum frontier and through the Civil War leaving very few high condition examples, let alone one this exceptional with a case and accessories. These Third Models were the last of Samuel Colt's massive "horse pistols" which began with the Model 1847 Walker during the Mexican-American War.

Lot: 1133 - Rare Colt Paterson Model 1839 Percussion Revolving Shotgun

Rare Colt Paterson Model 1839 Percussion Revolving Shotgun The total production of the Model 1839 shotgun is estimated to have been limited to less than 225 guns c. 1839-1841 per "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson. These rare early Colt long guns were very well-made and versatile early repeaters. The shotguns were built in larger caliber and thus had larger cylinders and frames than the rifles. They were even examined for military use. Captain George J. Raines wrote glowingly of Colt's revolving shotgun and recommended it be re-branded as "Colt's Repeating Musket" since it had the advantages of a musket in being able to fire a single large round ball, buckshot, or the popular "buck and ball" combination. Despite their high quality, they did not catch on. Instead, Samuel Colt's Paterson venture collapsed after the shareholders took over and eventually shut down the Patent Arms Company. Nonetheless, these historic early Colt firearms laid the groundwork for Colt's later success when he again began manufacturing firearms in 1847, and he later reintroduced revolving shotguns. This shotgun has a .631 caliber barrel (18 gauge), massive six-shot cylinder with round shoulder, flared recoil shield, steel scroll trigger guard and crescent steel buttplate. The period shortened barrel has a steel pin front sight and dished rear sight. The right side of the barrel lug is roll-stamped: "-Patent Arms M'g. Co. Paterson, N.J. - Colt's Pt.-" with the snake and star" motif at either end. The serial number is visible on the wedge, rear face of the barrel lug, rear face of the cylinder, and the cylinder turning ring. The Damascus barrel was browned. The cylinder, recoil shield, and tang were blued, and the hammer, frame, trigger guard, and buttplate were casehardened. The stock is straight grain American walnut with a varnish finish and pewter caps at the junction with the frame. The latter were not standard and may have been added outside of the factory. They certainly look original to the period of use, and pewter forend caps were common on American muzzle-loaders in the period.

Colt "Baby Paterson" Improved No. 1 Pocket (Elhers Fourth Model) Percussion Revolver This "Baby Paterson" was originally manufactured by Colt in 1837-1838 in Paterson, New Jersey, and was later "improved" and sold by former Patent Arms Manufacturing Co. secretary and treasurer John Ehlers in the 1840s after the company failed. This pistol has a short barrel marked with the "-Patent Arms Paterson N-J Colt's Pt-" on top. As an Ehlers Model, the marking correctly lacks the "M'g Co" and has a space where the marking was removed from the die. The cylinder is roll-engraved with the centaur scene and "COLT" four horsehead motif. The hammer has coarse knurling on the spur. Serial number "335" marked on the loading lever, the frame below the unnumbered cylinder, grip under the back strap, and right side of the grip straps. The wedge and barrel are both unnumbered. The revolver features improvements over the standard Patersons that were later seen on Colt's revolvers, including a capping cutout, loading lever, and rounded back cylinder rotated by a hand and ratchet. These scarce revolvers helped maintain interest in and satiate some of the demand for Colt's revolvers between the failure of the company in New Jersey, and its rebirth in Connecticut in 1847. Colt's pocket revolvers were his most popular products and remain popular with collectors today.

Exceptional Cased Colt Pocket Navy Percussion Revolver The Colt Collector's Association now lists this model as manufactured from 1865 until 1872 within a serial number range of 1-22000. However, Colt currently lists this revolver as a "Pocket Pistol of Navy Caliber" manufactured within the same range as Police revolvers. The details of the serial numbers and dates of manufacture also remain disputed. Regardless of the specific name or date, these are rare and desirable Colts. This is an excellent example of a Colt Pocket Navy revolver. This model has been known to collectors by various names over the years, including Model of 1853, Model 1862 Pocket Navy, Pocket Model 1865 of Navy Caliber, Pocket Model of Navy Caliber, and most simply: the Pocket Navy. This model is based upon improved steels and the rebated cylinder design first used on Colt's Model 1860 Army revolvers and also used on the Model 1862 Police. These offered more fire power while still remaining the same size as the popular Model 1849 Pocket. The top of the barrel is marked with the one-line "ADDRESS COL SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA". The five-shot cylinder is roll-engraved with the stagecoach holdup scene and "COLT'S PATENT" above the matching number in a panel. "COLTS/PATENT" marked on the left side of the frame and "36 CAL" stamped on the left side of the trigger guard at the junction with the frame. Matching visible serial numbers on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, and cylinder. The hardwood case is fitted to the gun and contains a Colt's patent eagle powder flask, Eley's cap tin, "L" shaped combination tool, Colt's patent .36 caliber dual cavity bullet mold, and some lead bullets.

Lot: 1137 - Excellent Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver with Case

Excellent Colt Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver with Case Manufactured in 1857. The Model 1849 Pocket was the most popular of all of Colt's percussion revolvers. They would certainly have been more convenient for those needing some personal protection in the gold fields and saloons of the West as well as the crowded and crime riddled streets of the large cities in the East compared to the larger Colt Dragoon revolvers or mid-sized Model 1851 Navy and definitely packed more firepower than many of the single and double shot pocket pistols of the day. During the Civil War, many were carried as personal sidearms. The revolver has a brass cone shaped front sight on the barrel, integral hammer notch rear sight, loading lever and a five-shot cylinder. The barrel and cylinder have a high polish blue finish. The loading lever, frame and hammer are color casehardened and the brass trigger guard and grip straps have a silver plated finish. The cylinder is roll-engraved with the stagecoach holdup scene. The top of the barrel has the two-line Colt New York address. "COLTS/PATENT" is stamped on the left side of the frame. All matching full and partial visible serial numbers are marked on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, butt, cylinder, loading lever, cylinder arbor pin and wedge. Includes a partitioned green felt lined hardwood case containing a "COLTS/PATENT" eagle powder flask, "COLTS/PATENT" marked two-cavity .31 caliber brass bullet mold, Eley Bros cap tin with green label, a sealed box of .31 caliber combustible envelope cartridges, a blued "L" shaped combination tool, and two lead rounds.

Lot: 1138 - Colt First Model 1855 Percussion Revolving Sporting Rifle

Exceptionally Scarce Colt First Model 1855 Percussion Revolving Sporting Rifle with 18 Inch Barrel While Samuel Colt's revolving handguns remain his most famous firearms, he was dedicated to creating successful revolving rifles; in fact, his first product was the First Model "ring lever" revolving rifle produced in 1837. As his new company flourished in the 1850s, it was only natural that Colt again looked to produce a revolving rifle. However, they never attained the popularity of Colt's revolving handguns, with only around 18,300 produced before production ceased in 1864, and only 1,000 of these First Model rifles and carbines were manufactured c. 1856-1859 per "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson. The book also lists just 200 carbines produced in .36 caliber, just seventy-five .36 caliber .36 caliber sporting rifles, and just fifty 18 inch .36 caliber carbines making this a particularly rare configuration. The part octagonal barrel has a dovetailed blade front sight and "{COLT'S PT./1856}" and "{ADDRESS COL. COLT/HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.}" on top at the breech. A cleaning rod is fitted along the left side of the barrel and frame. The frame has an adjustable notch rear sight is fitted on the top strap, an oiler fitted to the left side, and a toothed loading lever. It is equipped with the First Model's distinctive double spur trigger guard. The cylinder has "COLT'S PATENT/SPORTING RIFLE" and the deer hunting roll scene. The matching serial number "534" is marked on the oiler, cylinder, barrel, frame, trigger guard, and buttplate. The stock is marked with an old "1573" inventory marking on each side of the wrist similar to the ones in the U.S. Cartridge Collection inventory in the late 19th/early 20th century.

Of these 18,300 manufactured, only 2,300 where .56 caliber carbines with 21 inch barrels per the data reported on pages 182-183 of "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson.

Lot: 1140 - Cased Engraved Colt 1855 "Root" Pocket Revolver with Ivory Grip

Highly Desirable and Exceptionally Rare Cased Factory Engraved Colt Model 1855 "Root" 7A Pocket Percussion Revolver with Checkered Ivory Grip This remarkable revolver was manufactured in 1867 in the Model 7A configuration in .31 caliber with 4 1/2 inch round barrel marked with the "ADDRESS COL. COLT/NEW-YORK U.S.A." address on top at the breech, Navy type loading lever latch, stagecoach hold-up cylinder scene, and a screw on the side towards the rear securing the pin.

L. Wilson in "The Book of Colt Firearms." Wilson also noted: "The Model 7A is seldom encountered." Factory engraved Model 7As with checkered ivory grips, cases, and accessories are naturally considerably less often encountered and rarely become available. This revolver was purchased by Greg Lampe from Herb Glass Jr. and had previously been in Herb Glass Sr.'s collection and certainly ranks among the very finest and most desirable of all Model 7A revolvers extant. The factory "IE" designation is marked by the serial number on the butt confirming the factory engraving and ivory grip, and the matching serial number "11273" is marked on the bottom of the two-stage barrel which features an engraved border at the muzzle, a brass post front sight, and late percussion vine scroll engraving on the breech section flanking the barrel address. The beautiful flowing vine scroll factory engraving continues onto the frame and hammer. The cylinder has the noted stagecoach cylinder scene and has a blank serial number panel.

Lot: 1141 - Cased Pair of Factory Engraved Colt London 1851 Navy Revolvers

Desirable Cased Pair of Factory Engraved Colt London Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolvers -A) Colt London Model 1851 Navy Revolver Desirable Cased Pair of Factory Engraved Colt London Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolvers -A) Colt London Model 1851 Navy Revolver The Colt Model 1851 Navy or "Revolving Belt Pistol of Naval Caliber" was arguably the most significant model in terms of Samuel Colt becoming the most dominant figure in revolving firearms in the mid-19th century. While it was the second most popular of his percussion revolvers in terms of the total number produced, it was the '51 Navy that met with the most international success following his exhibition of arms at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, leading Colt to open a London factory to supply the European market. It manufactured approximately 42,000 Model 1851s in 1853-1857 compared to around 215,000 Model 1851s turned out at Colt's Hartford factory in 1850-1873. Many of the London factory revolvers were purchased by English officers, and many saw use in the Crimean War. Each of the revolvers in this pair was both manufactured in 1855 at the London factory and features the distinctive London style engraving, round headed screws, and iron grip straps. Interestingly, only the barrels are proof marked whereas it is typical for the cylinders to also have alternating proof and view marks. The engraving patterns on the two revolvers are very similar in style but are somewhat different in the specific details. Both revolvers have the dot marking used by the factory to designate revolvers selected for engraving and/or special finishing and "COLTS/PATENT" hand inscribed in banners on the left side of the frames, all matching serial numbers ("A" grip no visible number, "B" grip appears to be matching numbered), the one-line "-ADDRESS COL. COLT LONDON-" barrel address, the standard Naval Battle of Campeche roll scene on the cylinders, brass cone front sights, and varnished deluxe walnut grips. The wedge on number 23680 is stamped "8" which most likely stands for the last two digits "80". The wedge on revolver number 19075 is "75". The brass mounted English mahogany case has a loading and cleaning directions labels inside the lid is fitted to the two revolvers and contains two blued bullet molds, two L-shaped combination tools, two Eley Bros. cap tins, a James Dixon & Sons "COLT'S NAVY FLASK", a cleaning rod, an oiler, and three lidded compartments.

Boyer" on the back strap and "The Memory of Washington" is on the butt. Consignor provided documents of correspondence indicate they believe these two individuals to have been residents of Philadelphia and may have been associated with either of the two businesses being the Mutual Assurance Co. (informally known as "Green Tree" in reference to its corporate symbol) founded in 1784, or the Philadelphia Contributionship, founded in 1752, both in the business of insuring houses from loss by fire. An included period newspaper clipping (source unknown) has an article stating, "Mutual Assurance adds a historical note to its affairs. Following the meal, the chairman calls out, 'Gentlemen, are you charged?' Glasses are filled, or 'charged,' with Madeira, and the company is toasted. After a suitable pause comes a second toast, 'To the memory of Washington' - a tradition since 1799 when a messenger interrupted a directors dinner with news of the first President's death." It is estimated between 5,000 and 6,300 fluted cylinder Colt Model 1860 Army revolvers were originally produced per "The Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver" by Charles Pate. Some of these cylinders were changed by the factory to the standard non-fluted cylinders, which has limited the number surviving. Many of these early production revolvers were also known to have been shipped south of the Mason-Dixon Line for use by the Confederacy, even after the bombardment of Fort Sumter. It features the distinctive six-shot fluted cylinder, marked "PATENTED SEPT. 10th 1850" in one of flutes, with the early straight bored chambers. Colt later introduced a taper to the chamber at the breech end after report of failures due to the thinness of the barrel wall at the cylinder stops on these early revolvers. It has a German silver blade front sight, notch rear sight in the hammer, with "-ADDRESS SAML COLT HARTFORD CT.-" roll-stamped on top of the barrel, "COLTS/PATENT" on the left of the frame with projecting "fourth" screws, flush hammer screw head, shoulder stock cuts on the recoil shield with a slot at the heel, and a capping groove on the right.

Well-Documented Cased Miniature Civil War Confederate Griswold & Gunnison Percussion Revolver by Hans Mueller of Germany with Provenance Letter Manufactured c. 1950s to 1971 by Hans Mueller of Munich, Germany, this is an approximately 1/2 scale faithful miniature replica of the Civil War Confederate Griswold & Gunnison percussion revolver. An accompanying letter of provenance dated September 4, 1971, addressed to Mr. Roger Boettcher (first name crossed out by hand with "Mrs. Dorthy" in place of) from noted arms collector Arnold Chernoff states, "I would like to take this opportunity to explain in detail some of the rare features of the extremely fine miniature you recently purchased from me. First of all, as you know, the piece is exceptionally well made and accurate in every detail. It is a replica or a miniature copy of the Confederate Civil War revolver known as the Griswold & Gunnison. It was made in Munich, Germany, by Hans Mueller. Mr. Mueller had planned to go into production on these firearms for collectors, however, he could not raise the necessary capital needed and was forced to abandon the idea. The cased gun you purchased from me is one of four such guns that he made and submitted to prospective money backers. The people he contacted felt that the gun was very well made as is the flask and mold and accessories that accompanied the gun, as well as the case; but because Mr. Mueller wanted to keep it a family affair (his brother, himself, his father and a son would produce the miniatures), the money backers felt that there was too much of a risk involved and therefore refused to advance any funds. As a result, the gun is one of just four that were ever made and is an extreme rarity as well as a delightful miniature." A small shield shaped stamped marking is located on the left side of the barrel lug and on the bottom of the frame. Includes a hardwood case with purple felt lined fitted interior, miniature dual cavity bullet mold, cap tin, and "NK" marked copper powder flask.

Lot: 1154 - Civil War Era Second Model Paris LeMat "Grapeshot" Revolver

Civil War Era Second Model Paris LeMat Two-Barrel "Grapeshot" Percussion Revolver Manufactured in Paris, France c. 1864-1865. Production 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 Second Model has a full 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 spur, loading lever on the left side, round trigger guard, and a fixed lanyard ring on the butt. 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 marked "Col Le Mat Bte sgdg Paris" on top, and the right side is marked with the serial number "1306" followed by the "*/LM" LeMat logo. The matching serial number "1306" is also marked on the right side of the frame below the cylinder, on the cylinder, trigger, loading lever, and breech end of the smoothbore barrel.

Lot: 1155 - Excellent Civil War Starr Arms Saddle Ring Carbine

Excellent Civil War Starr Arms Model 1858 Breech Loading Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine The Starr breech loading carbine was submitted for U.S. government evaluation in January 1858 as a rival to the Sharps. Starr Arms Co. manufactured approximately 20,601 of these Model 1858 percussion carbines during the Civil War, and the vast majority saw hard use. However, this highly attractive example somehow appears to have seen very little if any use at all and has been beautifully preserved, providing a look at what these carbines looked like when fresh in the hands of Union troops during the Civil War. It features standard blade front and two-leaf rear sights, a sling ring mounted on the left of the receiver, small inspection initials "H.G.S" on the left of the breech and on top of the stock ahead of the buttplate tang, and two bordered script "STB" (Samuel T. Bugbee) inspection cartouches stamped on the left wrist of the stock. It is numbered "18562" on the right of the breech block wedge and "20358" on the underside of the barrel. Due to its high state of condition, it appears that this carbine was likely factory assembled this way with these two differing numbers.

Lot: 1156 - Civil War Era E. G. Lamson & Co. Palmer Saddle Ring Carbine

Excellent and Scarce Civil War Era E. G. Lamson & Co. Palmer Bolt Action Saddle Ring Carbine The Palmer carbine was patented in 1863 and holds the distinction of being the first metallic cartridge bolt action firearm ever adopted by the U.S. Ordnance Department. The bolt does not contain a firing pin and instead is used to seat the cartridge and seal the breech. The carbine is fired using a traditional side lock. Approximately 1,001 of these carbines were ordered on contract by the U.S. government late in the Civil War, but they were delivered one month too late to see action and were sold off as surplus, including to the French government for use in the Franco-Prussian War. This stunning example has small "M.M" (Miles Moulton) inspection initials on the left of the breech and left stock flat, a circled script "MM" inspection cartouche stamped on the left stock flat, and small "C.S.P" inspection initials on top of the stock ahead of the buttplate.

The rifle has the distinctive Henry brass receiver and brass buttplate with blue octagon barrel and integral 15-shot magazine. The hammer and loading lever have a color casehardened finish. The straight grain black walnut stock has an oil finish. The barrel has the later style square back nickel-silver front sight blade and dovetail mounted folding leaf rear sight. The rear sight has a center notch marked "900" and sight bar retaining screw at the top of the leaf. The magazine has the larger second style brass follower. The receiver is the second pattern which lacks the rear sight dovetail which was eliminated at about serial number 3,100 (September 1863). The rifle has the second style brass buttplate with pointed heel. The buttplate has a hinged brass trap door and the trap contains the correct four piece jointed steel cleaning rod with brass tip and steel eyelet, introduced around serial number 4,000. The left side of the stock and barrel are fitted with a sling swivel and a screw-fastened loop for a sling hook. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend "HENRY'S PATENT. OCT.16.1860/MANUFACT'D BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS CO. NEWHAVEN.CT." The legend is the later, larger style with all serif letters in the second line. The rifle serial number is stamped on the top barrel flat between the rear sight and the receiver, on the left side of the lower tang, in the upper stock inlet, and on the inside of the buttplate below the lower screw. All of the visible serial numbers match. The serial number is correctly not stamped on the late style cap-head buttplate and tang screws. The "H" inspection mark of B. Tyler Henry is stamped on the lower tang behind the lever latch. What appear to be the script initials "C H C" are very lightly scratched in the right side of the stock.

Lot: 1159 - Early Serial Number "6" Civil War Era Starr 1863 Army Revolver

Early Production Single-Digit Serial Number "6" Civil War Era Starr Model 1863 Army Single Action Percussion Revolver with Checkered Ivory Grip This is the lowest serial numbered example of a Starr Model 1863 revolver we at Rock Island Auction Company have ever witnessed, bearing the single-digit serial number "6". We very recently sold two-digit serial number "18" in the May 2026 auction (Lot 1190), which also has checkered ivory grips identical to this early production example. Approximately 32,000 Starr Model 1863 revolvers were manufactured c. 1863-1865 per page 374 of "Flayderman's Guide, 9th Edition". The majority of these revolvers were purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War. The Starr Model 1863 Army revolver was one of the most widely issued revolvers of the American Civil War alongside the Colt Model 1860 Army and the Remington New Model Army. It is believed the standard production Starr Model 1863 Army revolvers were serial numbered continuing from the Model 1858 in the approximate 23000 range on up, with this very early production single-digit serial numbered example being an exception from a pilot production batch made for the commercial market or for presentation with a very attractive one-piece checkered ivory grip. As a very early production example this revolver does not have the Starr address and patent markings on either side of the frame as seen on typical later production examples and the knob on the top strap screw is larger. The matching visible serial number "6" is marked on the bottom of the barrel, front surface of the barrel lug, inside the hammer well, hammer, and cylinder.

With no contract awarded, production was limited to approximately 640 revolvers. It is equipped with a special disc priming device loaded by loosening a thumb-screw in front of the trigger guard. The top strap is marked "BUTTERFIELD'S/PATENT DEC 11. 1855/PHILADA". Matching visible serial number "458" on various components including stamped on the butts of the grips.

Smaller quantities of the carbines were also sold commercially including through Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, and they were sold as surplus following the war leading some to have second lives abroad or in the West. Confederate forces are known to have captured and used Smiths as well.

Large numbers of Peabody rifles and carbines were sold to Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Romania, Spain, and France for use in the Franco-Prussian War. Post-war sales of Peabody rifles and carbines in the United States were limited to three state contracts.

Lot: 1169 - Pre-Revolutionary War Smoothbore Flintlock American Long Rifle

Well-Documented Pre-Revolutionary War Reading Attributed Smoothbore Flintlock American Long Rifle This "smooth rifle" is gun No. 9 on page 66 of "Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in Its Golden Age" by Kindig in the chapter "Pre-Revolutionary Kentuckys with Brass Patch Boxes." It is described on page 59 as: "No. 9 has a lock plate that is very broad at the pan and tapered sharply to the rear. This differs from the more or less parallel top and bottom edges of most locks and is, I believe, an early detail somewhat reminiscent of the wheel lock. The muzzle cap is fastened by a screw - another unusual and early detail. I believe this gun was made near Reading." The octagonal barrel is equipped with dovetailed rifle style sight and is smoothbore. The lock has a roller on the frizzen spring and a grooved tail. The mounts are brass. The release for the two-piece patchbox is at the heel. The stock has molding terminating in a raised bulbous carving at the ramrod entry point accented by a spade shaped finial. The stock also features drop flats, similar drop shaped carving at the barrel tang, molding along the underside of the butt, and incised and raised relief carved scrollwork at the wrist and rear of the cheekpiece.

Well-Documented Christian Beck Signed, Engraved, and Raised Relief Carved Golden Age Flintlock American Long Rifle with Straight Rifling This rifle is distinctly signed "C. + Beck" on top of the barrel for riflemaker Christian Beck (1782-1861), the son of John P. Beck (see following lot). He is noted as having apprenticed under his father and then worked in his shop in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, for a few years before moving to nearby Jonestown. The barrel is straight rifled allowing use of ball or shot and is equipped with traditional dovetailed blade and notch sights. The underside of the barrel has the "INRI" (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum/Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) inscription seen on some of his father's rifles as well as a few by Nicholas Beyer. There is also an old illegible handwritten document in the barrel channel towards the breech end. The inside of the lock plate has an "IEF" stamp. The mounts are brass, including the engraved "whale tail" patchbox. "M + B" appears lightly scratched on the trigger guard finial. The stock features fine molding along the forend and butt, incised scroll carving at the ramrod entry point, nicely shaped drop flats, and raised relief scroll carving at the barrel tang and butt. Bishop first saw this rifle at the 1999 Kentucky Rifle Association meeting in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, when it was part of the Steve Hench Collection and later acquired it from Rudy Gleichman.

Lot: 1171 - Early J. P. Beck Smoothbore Flintlock American Long Rifle

Well-Documented Early Pre-Revolutionary War Attributed J. P. Beck Signed Smoothbore Flintlock American Long Rifle with Raised Relief Carving The Kentucky Rifle Foundation states: "John P. Beck (1751-1811) was one of the superior builders of Pennsylvania longrifles. He was taxed in Lebanon, PA from 1772 until the time of his death. He built fine longrifles as well as Committee of Safety arms for the war effort. He was instrumental in establishing the regional style, and his rifles are often embellished with bold rococo scrollwork and beautiful engraving. Occasionally the underside of a Beck barrel will carry the inscription 'INRI' or 'DEO.' Due to stylistic and architectural congruence, it is believed that Beck was the master of Nicholas Beyer, another master builder from the Dauphin/Lebanon region. Note: Until 1785, this region was part of Lancaster County. In this year it became part of Dauphin County and in 1813 the area became part of Lebanon County. Essentially, when Beck was a gunsmith he was paying taxes to Dauphin County." Henry Bishop estimated this early J. P. Beck "smooth rifle" was manufactured c. 1770 a few years prior to the American Revolution. It features a distinct "J+ P+ Beck" signature on the top of the octagonal breech section of the barrel behind the notch rear sight, a fixed brass blade front sight, brass mounts, wood patchbox lid with a central groove, nicely shaped drop flats, fine molding, and raised relief shell carving at the barrel tang and front and rear of the cheekpiece. It was featured on the cover of the Summer 2015 issue of "American Tradition: The Journal of the Contemporary Longrifle Association" and is featured within in Joshua Shepherd's article "The Most Hardy Warlike People: Riflemen of the American Revolution." Bishop noted he first saw this smooth rifle in 1968 at The Eagle American Shop & Gun Museum in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, run by Vince Nolt who had purchased it after seeing some boys playing with it alongside the road. When the museum closed, the gun was sold to Robert Kearly at auction. Bishop purchased the rifle at auction after Kearly passed.

Lot: 1172 - Pennsylvania Flintlock American Long Rifle with Wood Patchbox

Well-Documented Pennsylvania Flintlock American Long Rifle with Wood Patchbox This rifle is featured as rifle no. 1 in Plate 106 of "The Kentucky Rifle" by Captain John G. W. Dillin and identified as from the Cline Collection (presumably Walter Cline). The later editions note that they are Pennsylvania rifles and this particular rifle is "the Lehigh Valley Type." It was later in the Richard Eddy and Tom Seymour Collection and is identified in the included correspondence as his "Rev. War era flintlock rifle" while Seymour was conducting his research on the classic "Lehigh Lady," "Lehigh Indian," or "Son of Liberty" carving ahead of the trigger guard that is associated with the Lehigh Valley and Northampton County in Pennsylvania in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The exact meaning and origin of this attractive and fascinating motif remains a matter of debate among Kentucky rifle collectors and is discussed in multiple include articles and correspondence. The use of a wood patchbox is often associated with the pre-Revolutionary War Kentucky rifles but was also used by some makers into the 19th century. The stock is noted as cherry. The bore has traces of rifling and was likely re-bored to smoothbore after the rifling became worn from use. The rifle has a dovetailed blade and notch sights, two lines engraved ahead of and behind the rear sight as well as on the tail of the side plate, an unmarked Germanic style lock, plain single trigger, scroll and foliate engraving on the brass mounts including a slightly left off-set wrist escutcheon and a pointed toe plate, a checkered panel at the ramrod entry point, incised molding along the underside of the butt, grooved cheekpiece edge, a faint name written on the cheekpiece (possibly the maker or an owner), and scrollwork in ink on the patchbox lid.

Lot: 1173 - American Long Rifle with "Lehigh Indian" Engraving & Carving

Desirable Golden Age Smoothbore American Long Rifle with "Lehigh Indian" Engraving and Carving This fascinating early 19th century Pennsylvania "smooth rifle" features the enigmatic "Lehigh Indian" engraved on the patchbox and incised carved at the front of the trigger guard. The exact origin and meaning of this design remains debated by Kentucky rifle collectors and is also noted as a "Lehigh Lady" or "Son of Liberty". The design is found primarily on rifles from the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The incised borders by the patchbox imitate the plates on some of the earlier Lehigh Valley/Northampton County rifles such as No. 63 on page 178 of "Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in Its Golden Age" by Kindig, and a similar design is raised relief carved around the barrel tang. The smoothbore barrel is equipped with dovetailed blade and notch sights. The lock is unmarked and has a stepped tail with a teat. The mounts are brass and feature wavy line, dash, and floral engraving in addition to the noted Lehigh design on the patchbox finial. The lightly figured maple stock features molding along the forend and butt, small cheekpiece with an eight-pointed star inlay secured by a screw, and incised carving on the butt. The consignor noted the gun as possibly by John Rupp c. 1815. Manufacturer: American Model: Kentucky BBL: 46 inch octagon Stock: maple Gauge: .42 Finish: brown/brass Serial NumberNSN Class: Antique

Exceptional U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1819 Hall Breech Loading Flintlock Rifle Dated 1838 Dated 1838 on the breech block. Approximately 19,680 of the Model 1819 Hall rifles were manufactured by Harpers Ferry between 1819-1840 according to "Flayderman's Guide". John Hall's innovative breech loading rifles were the first breech loading firearm adopted by the U.S. military and the first firearms to be produced with interchangeable parts. They were meant to be issued to Army rifle units, skirmishers, and flank companies. The Sixth U.S. Infantry, stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, was issued Hall rifles in the spring of 1832, and these rifles were used at the Bad Axe Massacre at the end of the Black Hawk War. Later examples like this 1838 production rifle saw use through the Mexican-American War and even through the Civil War, with many converted to percussion. Features an offset fixed blade front sight and fixed notch rear sight, a rifled bore correctly with a smooth section inside the muzzle end, and the top of the breech block marked "J. H. HALL/H.FERRY/US/1838" in four lines.

Lot: 1187 - Outstanding Robert Johnson U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol

Outstanding Robert Johnson U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol This is an absolutely outstanding example of a U.S. contract Model 1836 pistol that was manufactured in 1841 by Robert Johnson of Middletown, Connecticut. The Model 1836 was the last and arguably finest of the flintlock U.S. martial pistols. Many were converted to percussion making original flintlock examples like this particularly desirable, especially in such a high state of condition. It was the primary handgun issued to the U.S. Dragoons and Mounted Rifles during the Mexican-American War and continued to be used into the Civil War after being converted for percussion caps. This example shows little to no evidence of actual use. It has an original smooth bore, rounded blade front sight, a dished oval rear sight on the barrel tang, a swivel mounted ramrod, a brass flash pan, "US./JH/P" marked on the breech of the barrel, "US./R.

Lot: 1211 - Very Fine Engraved Cased Edwin Budding Percussion Set

Very Fine and Documented Only Known Cased Panel Scene Engraved Edwin Budding Percussion Cane Gun Set with Rifle and Shotgun Barrels Formerly in the W. Keith Neal Collection This gun is referenced in the 2011 American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletin article "Edwin Budding and His Pepperbox: A 21st Century Update" by Matthew Schneiderman who states: "Keith Neal owned the one known Budding firearm that isn't a pepperbox. This is a single shot longarm, cased with two screw-off barrels (one rifled, one smooth-bore). The shoulder stock also unscrews, leaving a central brass action around which the gun is built up. The breech of each barrel has a centrally placed, horizontal nipple. The mechanism is exactly like that of the pepperboxes, with a combined triggeresque cocking lever/internal striker powered by a coiled spring, and the same type of resting notch." Neal was one of the first to research Edwin Beard Budding (1796-1846) and bring his work to the attention of gun collectors. Budding was a noted engineer and inventor in England most famous for inventing the lawn mower in 1830. He designed a pepperbox around 1825 that is credited as simultaneously the first percussion pepperbox, first percussion revolver, first percussion pistol with in-line nipples (central fire), and the first percussion pistol with an enclosed action. The design was not patented and is very similar to James Cook's patent 4960 of May 30, 1824. Some of the pepperbox design is incorporated in this cane gun which is certainly an excellent example of Budding's ingenuity. To cock the "in-line" action the "trigger" is pulled to the rear and then slightly to the right, locking in place on a small iron resting notch. To fire, the "trigger" is pressed slightly to the left allowing it to spring forward striking the nipple fitted into the breech of the barrel. This set includes both a 26 inch 24 bore smoothbore browned Damascus barrel with a bead front sight as well as a 12 3/8 inch 40 bore rifled barrel featuring small blade and groove sights; each is marked with London proof marks. The barrels can be unscrewed by hand from the silver plated brass action inscribed "BUDDING MAKER" on top and engraved with a grotesque mask at the rear, a pheasant scene on the right, a pointer on the left, foliate motifs, and scrollwork. The checkered walnut buttstock unscrews from the back of the "cane handle" shaped action and has a German silver buttplate with scroll engraving at the heel. The set is contained in a mahogany case with some accessories, including a leather shot flask, brass bullet mold for a rather large .50 caliber conical bullet, rod, sleeve, a reproduction Budding trade label, and a W. Keith Neal Collection tag. Manufacturer: British Model: Cane Gun BBL: 26 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 24 bore Finish: brown/silver Serial NumberNSN Class: Antique

Per tradition, the grips are "Not Listed", though the other major features are verified, with the manufacture date of July 11, 1912. At the time, the Government Model represented a cutting edge piece of technology, the state of the art in large bore handguns, sought out by private citizens, police, and military men, the latter both via private purchases and overseas military contracts. Right up to the current day, John Browning's design remains a yardstick by which handguns are measured and holds a reputation as a weapon sought out by "elite" shooters. The slide bears the two-line, two-block address and patent markings on the left side ahead of the circled Rampant Colt, with the caliber markings on the reverse, "VP" and "K" on the trigger guard, and "GOVERNMENT MODEL" on the right side of the frame.

Lot: 1233 - Gough Master Engraved Colt Pre-Woodsman Semi-Automatic Pistol

Exceptional and Highly Desirable Documented William H. Gough Master Engraved Colt Pre-Woodsman Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1916, this is a scarce and highly desirable example of a Colt Pre-Woodsman pistol that was engraved by Master Engraver William H. Gough. Though never officially working at Colt, Gough is widely considered to have been a "factory engraver" and completed a significant amount of contract work for the company during the same general period Wilbur Glahn and Rudolph Kornbrath were master engravers at the Colt factory. The included factory letter with this pistol lists it in .22 caliber with a 6 1/2 inch barrel, "soft" finish, and wood grips when sold to Murta Appleton & Co. in Philadelphia and shipped to W.H. Gough in Utica, New York, on 28 November 1916, as part of a shipment including three guns of this type. The letter further notes that this pistol was shipped in a "soft" for the purpose of engraving by Gough. In "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson, they note that only 115 pre-World War II Pre-Woodsman and Woodsman pistols in total were factory engraved, which of course includes the post-1927 variants bearing the Woodsman name. This means that significantly less than 115 factory engraved examples were produced in the Pre-Woodsman era of 1915 to 1927, like this one. An extremely similar example to this one, serial number 4446, is pictured on p. 611 of "The Colt Engraving Book Vol. II" by Wilson, where it is noted as being part of a three-gun shipment sold to Murta Appleton & Co. in November of 1916, which is almost certainly the same shipment this pistol was in. Another example was offered in our December 2025 Premier Firearms Auction, bearing serial number 6412, which featured a gold inlaid monogram as well as a similar engraving pattern to this pistol. The pistol exhibits Gough's typical floral scroll style with matted backgrounds, covering about half of the pistol's surface. In many ways, Gough's style showed similarities to that of Wilbur Glahn, a Colt factory master at the time, which may be part of why Colt contracted with Gough for some of their engraving work. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and patent dates surrounded by engraving. The left of the slide has the "COLT AUTOMATIC/CAL.22 LONG RIFLE" marking and the Rampant Colt at the rear. The slightly later magazine has Colt Woodsman markings on the base. It is fitted with target type sights, including a beaded blade front and adjustable notch rear, as well as an interesting, diamond pattern checkered pair of walnut grips, a style that is also pictured on the pistol in the previously mentioned book.

Lot: 1234 - New York Engraved Colt Model 1889 Navy Double Action Revolver

Highly Attractive New York Engraved Colt Model 1889 Navy Double Action Revolver with Pearl Grips Manufactured in 1890, this is a highly attractive example of a New York engraved and period inscribed Colt Model 1889 Navy revolver, the first model of swing-out cylinder double action revolver the company offered. According to "The Book of Colt Firearms" by Wilson, approximately 31,000 of these revolvers were manufactured in total, with approximately 8,000 being purchased by the U.S. Navy. The same book lists only approximately 80 of these Model 1889s being factory engraved, with those engraved outside the factory like this example also being relatively rare. The engraving on this revolver is in the typical New York style, very much in line with the work of the legendary L.D. Nimschke. It covers approximately three-quarters of the surfaces and exhibits primarily floral scrollwork on beaded backgrounds, as well as "Nimschke stars" on the front right of the frame and the crane. The back strap is inscribed "JOHN DOUGHTY" in block letters. Many men by that name are listed in period newspapers from various states and no positive identification could be made at this time. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and patent dates ending with 1888, while the caliber marking on the left has been mostly obscured by the engraving. The serial number is on the butt, while the matching assembly number "394" is on the frame, crane, bottom of the barrel, rear face of the cylinder, and the cylinder latch. It is fitted with the standard blade front sight, frame-top groove rear sight, and a pair of smooth pearl grips.

The letter verifies the caliber and finish, with "Pequano Model" and the two inch barrel explicitly called out and the grips "not listed" in keeping with Colt tradition. Produced from 1933 to 1941, the Pequano made use of Colt's remaining stock of "Model B" Police Positive frames before the standardization of the 32 and 38 Police Positive on a single frame. Fixed half-moon and notch sights, with the barrel marked "POLICE/POSITIVE B.32" opposite the two-line address and patent markings, the Rampant Colt on the sideplate, and a set of checkered walnut grips with nickel Colt medallions.

Lot: 1239 - Items from the U.S. Air Force Casualty Clearance Detachment

Historic Items from the World War II U.S. Air Force Casualty Clearance Detachment, Including Patch, Correspondence, and Unit Memoir Established in Rome in 1945, the Air Force Casualty Clearance Detachment bore the grim and solemn duty of investigating the final fate of aircrews still logged as missing in action during America's air campaign in Europe; while the final release of Axis prisoners of war answered a lot of questions, there were still answers to seek. The Detachment chiefly worked in teams of four, with one officer in charge, a driver/mechanic, an interpreter, and an enlisted man trained on taking dental measurements for comparison to extant Army records. Their tasks included examining the contents of small cemeteries where friendly locals may have buried fallen airmen, examining records of allied and hostile burials and investigating potentially overlooked crash sites. In 1946, the task would be handed off to the similarly named Air Force Casualty Clearance Division. Included with the lot are a patch, a letter, and a book. The book, a small string-bound volume, contains a history of the unit, several photographs, and a unit roster. The letter, from Major D.M. Brown (commander of the unit through its tenure) to "Vazmina" (Corporal Ludwig Vazmina of LaGrange, Illinois, who joined the unit in January 1946) is dated 1947, and was included with a copy of the book; it notes that the book was a small press project made as a unit souvenir, comments on the camaraderie of the unit, and asks Corporal Vazmina to keep in touch. The patch, 4 3/4" diameter, embroidered construction, bears the unit emblem, with a skull in an aviator cap being examined with a magnifying glass and a pair of crossed shovels set on a dog-tag, a background of a bomber going down in flames, the text "AIR-FORCE-CASUALTY-CLEARANCE-DET." above and a banner reading "ONUS PROBANDI" (The Burden of Proof) below.

Activated in 1942 and briefly an anti-submarine unit, the 831st deployed to Tunisia and Italy in 1944, chiefly engaging in strategic bombing, including participating in the Ploesti Raid, while also supporting the invasion of Southern France and Northern Italy. 2) 456th Bombardment Group patch, 3 1/2" wide shield with heraldic shield designs. Active 194-1945, chiefly in the Mediterranean Theater in the strategic bombing and interdiction roles, and supporting the invasion of Southern France. 3) 428th Bombardment Squadron patch, 5" diameter embroidered cloth construction, featuring a skeletal figure holding a pair of bombs. Deployed to the Mediterranean Theater in 1942, the 428th acted in support of Operation Torch, the invasion of French North Africa, and attacking land and sea targets to disrupt the logistics of Rommel's Afrika Korps. It also supported the invasions of Italy and Southern France. An included letter from a Llewellyn B. Griffith, Jr, identifies this as having been his patch, which was acquired in Fano, Italy for his flight suit, which came home with him after the war and was retained as a personal souvenir until the 1980s. Records on Griffith are limited, but confirm him as an officer with the Army Air Force and later the U.S. Air Force, a multiple time recipient of the Air Medal, who initially separated from the service after WWII but was recalled c.1950; his wife Hilda (who is mentioned in the letter) was selected as the Air Force Logistics Command Wife of the Year in 1970, when he held the rank of Major. 4) Unidentified patch; a note on the patch attributes it to the 456th Bombardment Group, some online sources to the 459th Bombardment Group. 6" diameter, featuring a bucking bronco.

He formally registered for Selective Service on October 16, 1940 in Houston, Texas - but his card was immediately marked 'Should not have registered,' indicating he was likely already serving as a commissioned officer or otherwise exempt from the civilian draft... By 1941, Barbee held the rank of Lieutenant, serving in administrative and communications support roles... Throughout 1943, Barbee was assigned to Fort Sam Houston, Texas - an important wartime hub for training and technical operations... During 1943-44, Barbee had risen to the rank of Major, serving in the U.S. Army Signal Corps... Major Barbee's career reflects the crucial but often overlooked technical backbone of the U.S. Army during WWII. His surviving photographs, draft records, and uniform details together preserve the story of a Signal Corps officer whose work supported the flow of information that helped win the war." The left of the frame has "FJA" (Frank J. Atwood) inspection initials. The blued barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower left, a "P" is on the left of the recoil lug, and a "D" is on bottom.

Lot: 1245 - Pre-WWII Factory Nickel Colt Super .38 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Rare Documented Factory Nickel Plated Pre-World War II Philippines Shipped Colt Super .38 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter Manufactured in 1937, this is an exceptional example of a factory nickel plated Colt Super .38 pistol that is documented as shipped to the Philippines just a few years before the devastating Japanese invasion of the islands in December of 1941. These Super .38 pistols were first introduced to the public at the August 1928 Camp Perry National Matches and were available for purchase by the start of 1929. Douglas Sheldon notes in "Colt's Super .38" that fewer than 900 nickel plated pre-World War II Super .38s were located in the ledgers, accounting for only about 2% of total production. He also notes that well over half of those 900 nickeled pistols were shipped to either Mexico or the Philippines, likely due to the increased durability of the finish in humid climates. With so many of these pistols having originally shipped outside the U.S., they have become even more scarce on today's collectors market. The included factory letter with this example lists it in .38 caliber with a 5 inch barrel, nickel finish, and grips not listed when shipped to Roces & Co. in Manila, Philippines Islands on 17 November 1937 as one of three guns of its type in the shipment. The left side of the matching numbered slide is marked with the standard two-line address and patent markings, while the right side has the Colt Super .38 Automatic marking followed by the Rampant Colt. The serial number is marked on the right side of the frame. The left side of the trigger guard is marked with "P" over the Colt verified proof, while the right is marked "60". The original nickel plated barrel is marked "COLT SUPER 38 AUTO" on the lower left. It is fitted with standard blade and notch sights, a wide checkered hammer, short checkered trigger, long grip safety, an arched checkered mainspring housing, a pair of checkered walnut grips, and a correct nickeled magazine with Colt Super .38 markings on the base.

Albrook Field was established in 1931 under the U.S. Army Air Corps and was an active base during World War II to protect the Panama Canal and for flying coastal patrols in Central and South America. It was officially closed and turned over to the Panamanian Government in 1997. This exceptional pistol is blue with a casehardened grip safety, trigger and slide release. The left side of the slide has the standard Colt factory two-line address/patent dates with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right has the two-line caliber notation.

Lot: 1247 - Excellent Smith & Wesson Mark II Semi-Automatic Light Rifle

Rare and Excellent Smith & Wesson Mark II Semi-Automatic Light Rifle with Accessories Developed in the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Smith & Wesson Light Rifle, aka the Model 1940, was conceived in response to a request by Great Britain for a lightweight semi-automatic rifle. S&W's response was mechanically novel, especially in the fully ambidextrous magazine well/ejector chute; this feature was relatively ahead of its time, it was generally outclassed by other carbines and submachine guns on the market, particularly the U.S. M1 Carbine. In competition, it squared off against the now-iconic U.S. M1 Carbine, with the additional handicap of severe ammunition trouble. The Light Rifle had been developed using commercially available 9 mm Parabellum ammunition, which was not a chamber pressure match for the military-contract ammo issued during the test. S&W revisited the drawing board, resulting in the Mark II, which integrated a machined steel sleeve around the receiver, which acted as a reinforcement as well as a positive bolt-blocking safety. This was not enough to save the project, and the British shelved the Light Rifle, demanded a refund on their advance, and, once the pressing matter of World War II was resolved, took their stock of unwanted Light Rifles and threw them in the English Channel. In 1974, Smith & Wesson found a limited number of unfired light rifles packed in crates; 137 were Mark I rifles and 80 were Mark II rifles per Jinks on page 240 of "History of Smith & Wesson." These were classified as Curio & Relic items and sold as collector's pieces. Many of these survivors are branded with a prominent metal plate (absent on this example) declaring them unsafe to fire. Features blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights, with a fluted barrel, ribbed safety, signature combination magazine well/ejector port, and a smooth stock with a ribbed buttplate includes a leather sling, two extra magazines, a tool, and a S&W manual. Note: This item features a high-capacity magazine which has a capacity above 15 rounds and cannot be sold or transferred to individuals in CA, CT, CO, DC, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT, or WA.

Lot: 1254 - Vietnam Era Navy Lieutenant Attributed Colt Model 1911A1 Pistol

Historic U.S. Colt Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol Attributed to U.S. Navy Lieutenant John P. Jackson Who Served as an Advisor to the South Vietnamese Military Originally manufactured in 1943, during the height of World War II, this particular pistol is attributed as having again served during the war in Vietnam with U.S. Navy Lieutenant John P. Jackson. The pistol itself is typical of 1943 production with the left of the slide having the patent markings and address arranged in two lines and two blocks on either side of the Rampant Colt, while the right of the slide is unmarked. This pistol was part of the lend-lease program during World War II as there are British proofs on the right rear of the frame and slide, as well as on the chamber hood of the barrel. The right of the frame has the typical U.S. Army markings as well as the serial number, while the left of the frame has the "G.H.D." inspection marking and "P" proof. The blued barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower left, "P" on the left of the lug, and "P/G" on the bottom. It has standard features including checkered reinforced grips and a full-blue "L" marked magazine. Includes a black leather shoulder holster rig with dual magazine pouch and three extra magazines.

The other article discusses Jackson being present on the armored river boats in an advisory and liaison role and being present during many ambushes by North Vietnamese/Viet Cong forces. These river assault units, both American and Vietnamese were vital for stemming the flow of weapons and fighters to the communist insurgents in the southern part of the country.

Lot: 1256 - French Mauser "svw/46" P.38, Vietnam War Trophy with Papers

Post-World War II French Occupation Mauser "svw/46" P.38 Semi-Automatic Pistol, with Holster, Extra Magazine, and Paperwork Verifying the Pistol as a Vietnam War Trophy Manufactured in 1946, the "svw/46" Mauser P.38s were manufactured under the guidance of French occupation forces in Germany, who used Mauser's output to meet their own military and police armament needs. Per a series of supplied American and South Vietnamese documents, this pistol was taken as a war trophy in Vietnam by a then-Major Ralph D. Scalzo in 1968 and brought back to the United States. A signed statement dated 1977 provides some details, with others left to speculation. The exact path the pistol took to Vietnam is unrecorded, but given France's almost immediate post-WWII involvement in the First Indochina War, the pistol was most likely material for French Army operations against the Viet Minh while attempting to retain control of their pre-WWII colonial holdings. The First Indochina War would end with the departure of French occupation forces and international recognition of a partitioned North and South Vietnam as independent nations. Large quantities of French weapons would remain in country, either captured during the war itself or abandoned during the French withdrawal, with many winding up in the hands of paramilitary organizations like the Viet Cong. The letter notes that this pistol was found in a weapons cache within 50 miles of Saigon sometime prior to April 25, 1968, with speculation that the cache was planted there by the Viet Cong. Stored at a Republic of Vietnam depot in Cholon, it would be signed out to Major Scalzo, then serving as an Ordnance advisor to the People's Republic of Vietnam, who would bring the pistol home to the States, later consigning the pistol, the documents, and presumably the written information (no mention of the holster or extra magazine) to the letter writer in 1977. Separating from the Army at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Scalzo would work at Lockheed as an engineer in civilian life, passing on in 2014. The pistol follows the traditional pattern for French P.38s, fitted with a set of fixed sights, a single "five-pointed star" inspection mark on the slide, matching numbers on the slide, barrel, locking block and frame, and a correct set of "gray ghost" sheet metal grips. Both of the included magazines bear "eagle/135" proofs, and the included holster is constructed with a brown leather exterior and white leather interior, with the overall pattern matching examples seen on other Vietnamese War-era service pistol holsters.

Approximately 51,000 Colt Government Model semi-automatic pistols were ordered by the Imperial Russian government in 1916 and 1917, using Great Britain as an intermediary for the purchase and shipment of the pistols, before the outbreak of the revolution and the abdication of the Tsar. By 1916, the situation on the Eastern Front of World War I was dire for Russia, and national instability brought both the February and October Revolutions of 1917, which led to both the fall of the Imperial government and the eventual rise of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) that remained in control of that nation for most of the remainder of the 20th century. It features fixed rounded blade front and squared notch rear sights on top of the slide, the two-line Colt address and patent dates in two blocks on the left of the slide followed with a Rampant Colt behind the serrations, the two-line caliber designation on the right side of the slide, a blued barrel marked "P" on the underside and with a polished chamber hood, the typical "ANGL.

Lot: 1261 - I.G. Prefix Presentation U.S. Ithaca Model 1911A1 Pistol

Outstanding and Rare Documented Presentation U.S. Ithaca Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol Serial Number I.G.50 Manufactured c. 1945, this is one of approximately 50 presentation Model 1911A1 pistols produced by the Ithaca Gun Co. after completion of their World War II government contracts that bear the special "I.G." serial number prefix standing for "Ithaca Gun". This specific pistol is pictured on p. 131 of "U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1920-1945" by Meadows, where it is described as the last pistol of the "I.G." presentation series and the only one known to the author to bear U.S. government markings. These pistols were produced specifically for presentation to top company officials and Ordnance Department officers that played a roll in attaining and completing the government contracts that Ithaca had received. Throughout the course of the war Ithaca had received multiple contracts from the government for Model 1911A1 pistols, even though early on their quality was in question, having an alarmingly high number of pistols rejected by government inspectors. By September of 1943 Ithaca were pushed to make some changes to improve the quality of their production, which by the middle of 1944 seemed to dramatically reduce the number of Ordnance Department rejections. By the end of the war, Ithaca was the third largest producer of the Model 1911A1 pistol having made 335,466, following only Colt and Remington-Rand. This example certainly shows the culmination of learning and improvement Ithaca experienced through the course of the war, displaying a level of quality that is clearly evident. It is entirely finished in a highly polished deep blue with the only markings being the U.S. property marking, model designation, and hand engraved, presentation serial number "I.G. 50" on the right of the frame. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, short checkered trigger, long grip safety, arched serrated mainspring housing with lanyard ring, wide checkered hammer, reinforced checkered grips, and an "S" marked full blue magazine.

Lot: 1266 - WWI U.S. Remington Arms Model 1917 Bolt Action Rifle

Excellent World War I U.S. Remington Arms Model 1917 Bolt Action Rifle Dated to September 1918 on the barrel. The Model 1917 bolt action rifle is a descendant of the British Pattern 1914 Enfield, which was being manufactured by American firms to supplement British rifle supplies prior to America's entry into World War I. Once America joined the war, additional rifles were needed to supplement the then-standard Model 1903 Springfield, and the Pattern '14 was found to need minimal adjustment to meet the need; chiefly rechambering to standardize on the .30-06 cartridge and elimination of the volley sights. While numerically superior to the Springfield in American Expeditionary Force service, many 1917s were used to the point of destruction in the trenches, disposed of as surplus after the war, or broken out of stores and refinished early in World War II, making top quality examples manufactured during the war itself extremely scarce. As noted, the barrel is marked "R/flaming bomb/9-18", with "eagle head/16" and "eagle head/F25" proofs on the receiver, and "R" marks on the bolt handle and the tip of the stock. Fitted with a set of smooth walnut handguards and a grasping groove walnut stock with "eagle head /339" and "eagle head/300" proofs on the underside.

Lot: 1267 - U.S. Army Test Trials Colt Model 1907 Pistol Serial Number "66"

Very Rare U.S. Army Test Trials Colt Model 1907 Military Semi-Automatic Pistol, Serial Number "66" One of the final evolutionary steps leading from John Browning's original 1900 semi-automatic pistol design to the world renowned 1911 pistol, this pistol was one of 200 handguns delivered to Springfield Armory in March 1908 for a new series of field tests with the Cavalry. A refinement of the 1905 design, the 1907 was modified to account for feedback from the 1905 trials and further refined in 1909, retaining the heart of the original 1900 design while also showing movement towards the 1911 in the ejector port configuration and the addition of a spur to the grip safety. The Cavalry, notorious for their harsh treatment of and general disdain for every semi-auto they were sent in the 1900s, showed no mercy to the 1907 in words or in actions, beating the pistols to death both literally and figuratively at any chance. Some speculate that this was exactly what Ordnance Chief General William Crozier wanted; he understood that peacetime was the best time to whip the auto-pistol into shape, and knew that the harsh critiques of the Cavalry and the threat of giving the contract to Savage would drive Colt and Browning to deliver the absolute best pistol possible. Seeing as the end result was the 1911, possibly the definitive handgun of the 20th century and the standard by which handguns are measured to this very day, Crozier's instincts look pretty solid. This particular pistol was part of a 65-piece batch (serial number range of 66-130, making this the first in the lot) shipped to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, originally issued to Troop H of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry, and then handed off to Troop D of the 6th Cavalry when the original testers were transferred to the Philippines. Fixed sights, with the two-line, two-block patent dates and address on the left side of the slide ahead of the serrations and "AUTOMATIC COLT/CALIBRE 45 RIMLESS SMOKELESS" on the right ahead of the expanded ejector port, with an external extractor and a slot for a chamber indicator. The frame is marked on the left side with the serial number "66" above the "K.M." inspector's mark of Major Kenneth Morton on the trigger guard, with the 1902-style slide catch, sharply knurled spur hammer and grip safety, and checkered grips with German silver escutcheons and nitre blue screws, properly shorter on the left side to make way for the lanyard staple. The magazine is unfinished with no maker's marks. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1907 BBL: 5 inch round Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number66 Class: Curio & Relic Handgun

Lot: 1273 - Demonstration/Presentation Remington-Rand Model 1911A1 Pistol

Outstanding and Rare, Serial Number "142", Demonstration/Presentation Remington-Rand Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol Manufactured c. 1943 to 1945, this is an outstanding example of a rare Model 1911A1 "numbers only demonstration pistol" that was produced by Remington-Rand. Only approximately 145 of these were produced in their own separate serial number sequence beginning with "1". These were used to show employees the finished Model 1911A1 pistol, explain how it operates, and emphasize the importance of every aspect of manufacturing in the functioning of the pistol as a whole. Many of these demonstration pistols were presented to high ranking Remington-Rand officials and employees after the war. A number of cutaway examples were also produced, although it is unclear if these were a part of the 145 or not. These pistols show all the standard markings and features of the production Remington-Rand Model 1911A1 pistols apart from lacking government inspection or U.S. property markings. The pistols have a parkerized finish and the serial numbers were factory stamped on the pistols after the finish was applied. These pistols are discussed on p. 313 of "Colt .45 Service Pistols: Models of 1911 and 1911A1" by Clawson, and an example, serial number 131, is pictured on p. 314. These pistols are also discussed on p. 85 of "U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1920-1945" by Meadows. The "ERRS" marked Remington-Rand pistols are also discussed in both books, which were factory experimental pieces used during the manufacturing process. This pistol appears to have been originally made as an "ERRS" example before being finished out and factory numbered in the "demonstration" series. The only visible external markings on the pistol are the two-line Remington-Rand address on the left of the slide, the serial number "142" on the right of the frame, and the very faint traces of an "R" and an "S" from the previous "ERRS" marking. The full blue barrel is marked "P" and "HS" on the left and right of the lug. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, short stamped trigger, narrow checkered hammer, long grip safety, a serrated arched mainspring housing, lanyard loop, checkered Keyes Fibre grips, and a full blue magazine marked "R" on the toe.

Unlike most arsenal M1911A1 NM pistols, this example was upgraded a step further as a National Match Trophy pistol, finished with an attractive deep blue finish with high polish sides contrasted with matte along the dorsal and ventral lines as well as bright sides on the hammer.

Lot: 1278 - U.S. Marine Corps Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle with Certificate

Extremely Rare and Historic Documented Operation Desert Storm/Gulf War Era U.S. Marked and Marine Corps Issued Barrett Firearms Mfg. Inc. M82A1 Semi-Automatic .50 BMG Sniper Rifle with Barrett Certificate and Case Developed in the early 1980s, Ronnie Barrett's M82 series of semi-automatic .50 caliber rifles was adopted by a number of military forces around the world throughout the 1990s, including the U.S. Marine Corps, where its potent .50 BMG chambering made it useful for a range of tasks including disabling vehicles, detonating enemy ordnance, and sniping at distances well beyond most conventional rifles. This specific rifle, manufactured c. January 1991, is listed by serial number in the table on page 23 of "Death from Afar, Vol. 1" by Norman Chandler as one of the first batch of 100 Barrett M82A1 sniper rifles delivered to the U.S. Marine Corps during Operation Desert Shield, the buildup to Operation Desert Storm. The included Barrett Firearms Mfg. Inc. certificate further confirms the rifle's inclusion in the first batch, listing it by serial number along with the other 99 rifles as purchased by the U.S. Marine Corp in January 1991. This was the result of an unusually rapid crash acquisition program born from the perceived need for a long range capability for Marine Corps infantry in the open terrain of the Middle Eastern theater. The time frame from initial order to the first batch of rifles being delivered to Marine Corps armorers in Saudi Arabia was a mere 90 days. While individual deployment of the rifles was not documented, photographs from the time period place these M82A1s in Kuwait and Iraq. Knowledgeable collectors estimated that roughly 35 of these very scarce former Marine Corps issued rifles were ever made available to the commercial market, with the rest either given to foreign allies, police departments, museums, or were scrapped. It features folding hooded blade front and adjustable ladder rear (M1919 pattern) sights, a chevron shaped two chamber muzzle brake on the "1/91" dated straight fluted barrel, a folding metal bipod, a folding wire carry handle, a ventilated steel receiver with Picatinny rail running across the top with a two-piece welded base, Barrett and "U.S." markings on the left side of the magazine well, and a simple metal buttstock. Matching "0910" serial number electro-penciled on top of the bolt carrier. Fitted with a "Stowaway 2" AR-15 pattern pistol grip and solid rubber butt. Includes a Pelican brand Vault hard case. Note: This item is restricted under various state-level assault weapon as well as restrictions on 50 BMG and cannot be sold or transferred to individuals in CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, RI, VA, or WA.

Lot: 1286 - Rare Experimental Prototype U.S. M1 Garand Rifle T131 Sight

Rare Experimental Prototype U.S. M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle with T131 Reflector Sight Manufactured c. 1945-1947, this experimental prototype M1 Garand rifle has no visible receiver heel markings but appears to possibly be Harrington & Richardson produced as it has the M1 Garand drawing number "D 6528291" on the receiver leg as typically seen on their production rifles, features a bolt with a roller pin, and is equipped with a T131 reflector sight; developed in an attempt to create an effective solution for low light situations in place of standard iron sights. The T131 sight readily mounts in place of the M1 Garand's rear sight and uses an illuminated dot projected onto a clear lens, through which one would still see the target, and operates essentially like modern day red dot sights. The sight was inspired by the World War II era Mark 8 illuminated aircraft gun sights and the commercial Nydar shotgun sight. A small handful of rifles equipped with this type of sight were tested by a U.S. ordnance board consisting of military riflemen at Fort Benning in 1947 as outlined in the official "Report of the Army Ground Forces, Board No. 3, Project No. 2057" to which the conclusion of the board was that the sight allowed for quick and easy attachment to a standard M1 Garand rifle, but was not viewed as a necessary improvement over standard iron sights as it was only believed to offer a benefit when used in low light conditions. The sight is marked on the rear with “BENNEL MACHINE Co./BROOKLYN, N.Y./SIGHT MOUNT T-131". Another example of this type of Bennel rear sight is pictured on page 407 of "The M1 Garand Rifle" by Bruce Canfield. It is marked "SA-23153/US2" on the bolt, "SA 23154" on the relief cut operating rod, "S-A 1-42" on the barrel, the number "56" is marked on the rear of the operating rod and repeated on the bottom of the barrel, "6528290-SA" marked trigger housing, "-7 SA" hammer, "SA 11 safety, and unmarked milled trigger guard. A boxed "S.A./H" inspection cartouche is stamped on the left stock wrist. The rifle has a prototype one-piece rubber coated synthetic handguard, prototype flash hider, and no front sight installed as the T131 sight does not need a front sight for use.

Very Scarce Late World War II Steyr "bnz45" Code VG-98 Volksgewehr "Last Ditch" Bolt Action Rifle Manufactured in 1945 at the very tail end of the World War II, the VG-98 was part of the "Volkswaffen" (People's Weapon) series of armaments, intended to gear up German second line defensive formations without diverting higher quality armaments still needed by the main formations of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Most of the units destined to receive these weapons were "Volkssturm" (People's Storm or People's Assault), which consisted mostly of men too old and boys too young to be properly drafted. When the war came to an end, few VG-98s were picked up by Allied trophy hunters since they weren't as "pretty" as the more common 98k or mechanically novel like some other Volks weapons, resulting in very few being available on the contemporary American market. The heart of the VG-98 is a Model 98 receiver, with crude fixed sights, a roughly finished barrel, a one-piece half length stock that fully encloses the magazine, a wire sling swivel on the left front, a "U" bend steel trigger guard, and no provisions for a handguard or buttplate.

Lot: 1340 - Very Scarce Bergmann Mars Model 1903 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Very Scarce Bergmann Mars Model 1903 Semi-Automatic Pistol A contemporary to the DWM Luger and the Mauser Broomhandle pistols, the Bergmann Mars was the predecessor of the Bergmann-Bayard pistol, with only approximately 900 manufactured in the early 20th century.

Fixed blade front and notch rear sights, with "CAL. 9." on the left side of the receiver, "crown/crown/U" proofs, and "BERGMANN/MARS/PAT. BREV./S.G.D.G." on the locking block. The matching full serial number "588" is marked on the bottom of the barrel and base of the magazine, and matching "88" is stamped on the interiors of the checkered hardwood grips along with the non-matching number "558" handwritten in red ink.

Lot: 1341 - Early Production Mauser Model 1878 "Zig-Zag" Revolver

Early Production Mauser Model 1878 "Zig-Zag" Single Action Revolver Developed in 1878, the Zig-Zag revolver was the first handgun designed and developed by Paul Mauser and his firm, while still operating in partnership with Wilhelm Mauser as the Mauser Brothers (prior to 1884). A competitor to be the first centerfire cartridge-fed handgun adopted by the German military, the 1878 scored high marks in overall performance, though concerns about the complexity of the design led them to choose the 1879 Reichsrevolver instead. A number are believed to have seen service as privately purchased military sidearms. At the heart of the mechanism is the combination of an angular track (the titular 'Zig-Zag') machined into the side of the cylinder and a toothed reciprocating bar linked to the hammer, which serves to both advance and lock the cylinder, in contrast to the more commonly seen pawl/sprocket and stop arrangement. Additionally, the spring responsible for resetting the cocking bar also powers the hammer, replacing the grip frame mounted leaf spring commonly seen in that era. For loading, the barrel assembly is hinged at the rear of the top strap, automatically pushing the hammer back to the safety notch when opened, with the closure latch doubling as the lever for a star-pattern extractor assembly. "GEBR.MAUSER & Cie OBERNDORF a/N.WURTTEMBERG.1878.PATENT" on the rib, with niter blue cylinder and safety lever, casehardened latch lever and hammer, and checkered hardwood grips.

Lot: 1342 - Engraved and Inscribed Mauser "Baby" 1878 "Zig-Zag" Revolver

Engraved Mauser "Baby" Model 1878 "Zig-Zag" Single Action Revolver with Oberndorf Veterans Association Inscription Manufactured c. 1886-1896, the "Baby" "Zig-Zag" takes the robust and mechanically intriguing 1878 and scales it down, making a compact handgun more suitable for civilian use or concealed carry. Mechanically and ergonomically, all the features of the larger model are present, including the fixed sights, top-hinged barrel assembly with ring lever release/extractor mechanism, and a fine set of hard rubber grips with raised dragon and scroll motifs. In addition to the "GEBR. MAUSER & Cie OBERNDORF a/N. WURTTEMBERG. 1878." address on the barrel rib, this Zig-Zag has been finely engraved over 75% of the surface, with scroll engraving with textured backgrounds, checkerboard panels on the sides and frontstrap, and a large floral pattern on the back of the recoil shield. Fancy script engraving is present on the frame, with "Veteranen Verein/Oberndorf a/N. s/m." (Veterans Association/Oberndorf am Neckar s/m.) on the left and a blank panel on the right. Established in many German-speaking cities and communities in the 1700s and 1800s, Veterans Associations served to both provide camaraderie to mustered out soldiers and mutual support for the wounded and invalid, similar to many American fraternal organizations. Over time, as social welfare programs caught up to the needs of former soldiers, the associations became more social affairs while growing progressively more connected to the government establishment, becoming a de facto militia and military reserve. On previously observed examples, the right panel has been used to inscribe the revolvers to individual recipients.

Lot: 1348 - Pre-WWII Walther PPK, with Graf Zeppelin Themed Inscription

Historic Pre-World War II Walther Model PPK Semi-Automatic Pistol Inscribed in Commemoration of a Flight of the Airship LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin Manufactured c. 1930-1931, this Walther PPK bears typical markings and features for the time, including "crown/N" proofs, 90 degree safety, matching partial serial number hand-scribed inside the slide, mixed brown colored wraparound grip and matching colored extension on the magazine. The markings have been highlighted with gold-colored fill, including an inscription on the right side of the slide that reads "Zur Erinnerung/an die Landungsfahrt/des Graf Zeppelin/nach Meiningen 11.10.31" (In Commemoration of the Graf Zeppelin's Landing Flight to Meiningen, October 11, 1931). Christened and launched in 1928, the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin was one of the most successful lighter-than-air craft in history, performing a number of commercial and experimental long-range flights, including a circumnavigation of the globe and a round trip passing within 600 miles of the Geographic North Pole. During the time of the inscription, the Graf Zeppelin was engaged in intercontinental flights between Germany and Brazil. A highly effective craft, the Graf Zeppelin was brought down by a combination of public relations and politics, as the notorious disaster of the Hindenburg destroyed public faith in hydrogen-filled airships and the United States (which at the time enjoyed an extremely dominant position in global helium production) unwilling to export helium to an increasing belligerent Germany; commercial operations were halted in 1937, and the craft was scrapped in 1940. The recipient of the pistol is unknown; it may have been a memento for a passenger or a crewman.

Lot: 1351 - U.S. Test Trials DWM Model 1900 American Eagle Luger

Desirable U.S. Test Trials DWM Model 1900 American Eagle Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol One of 1,000 Model 1900 Luger semi-automatic pistols ordered by the U.S. Ordnance Board from the German Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) firm c. April 1900 and delivered in two shipments with 800 sent on October 26, 1901, and the remaining 200 sent on October 29, 1901. While this specific pistol's serial number is not listed, it falls well within the known serial range and in-between known examples listed by serial numbers on page 387 of "U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1894-1920" by Meadows. The most distinguishing features noted on these pistols versus other commercial Model 1900 "American eagle" Lugers were the lack of German proofs or export markings and the partial serial number on the takedown lever was placed on the right side. While the Model 1900 Luger had a number of virtues and performed favorably during testing, it was passed over by U.S. Ordnance in favor of domestically produced designs. After the tests were complete, the surviving examples of the 1,000 test Lugers were surplussed out of U.S. Ordnance inventory and released for public sale through Francis Bannerman. Features fixed blade front and notch rear sights, the "Great Seal of the United States" on top of the barrel extension, the script "DWM" manufacturer monogram marked on top of the toggle link, and early Model 1900 Luger features including a wide trigger guard, dished toggles with a toggle lock, a flat recoil spring, and the lower safety position of the frame unmarked. Matching full serial number on the frame and barrel, along with matching partial serial numbers visible on small parts including the extension. Fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips and a nickel plated magazine with a small "ordnance bomb" style proof on the walnut base.

Lot: 1353 - Persian Contract Mauser Luger Cutaway Pistol with Matching Mag

Outstanding Persian Contract Mauser Luger Cutaway Pistol with Matching Numbered Magazine This is an exceptionally scarce and equally outstanding example of a Persian contract Mauser cutaway Luger pistol. Approximately 4,000 Lugers were manufactured c. 1935-1936 in "short" (P.08) and "long" (Artillery) configurations for the government of Iran (Persia) and only an additional estimated 50 of these training cutaways were made in a separate serial block per page 619 of "Pistole Parabellum Volume II" by Gortz and Sturgess. Few of those cutaways are believed to have left Iran, and they are rarely seen on the American market. Overall configuration is typical for a P.08 "short" Luger, with the addition of viewing windows in the barrel, extension, breech assembly, frame, trigger, sideplate and grips to expose the internal function of the weapon. The "Persian Lion" is properly absent. The grips are unnumbered; otherwise, all the various parts are correctly marked with the Arabic numerals for serial number "35" including the base of the magazine.

Excellent World War II German Contract Range Astra Model 900 Broomhandle Semi-Automatic Pistol with Stock Manufactured c. 1933, the Astra Model 900 closely follows the layout and ergonomics of the Mauser C96 Broomhandle. A large number of these were known to have been exported to Asia, especially China, prior to World War II; the Chinese market was hungry for handguns and carbines in general, with Broomhandle-pattern semi-autos especially popular. It is also known that at least one wartime procurement of the Model 900 was made by the Germans as supplemental weapons for occupation troops in Southern France, falling in a range of 32788-33774; these pistols are believed to have gone straight from Guernica to France without a Waffenamt inspection, hence the absence of traditional German proofs. Blade front and 1000-meter tangent rear sights, with the left sideplate marked ""ASTRA" AUTOMATIC PISTOL CAL 763/PATENTED JULY. 12, 1928/Unceta y Compania GUERNICA (Spain)".

Battle Damaged Vickers Dutch Contract Model 1906 Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol Manufactured circa 1915-1917, these Lugers were produced in England for military export to the Netherlands. While neutral in the First World War, many of these pistols saw hard use at sea with the Royal Netherlands Navy, which continued to fight on in World War II even after the loss of their home ports to the Germans and their East Indies bases to the Japanese. This particular Vickers Luger has suffered significant battle damage, in particular a heavy strike (likely from a bullet, piece of shrapnel, or similarly lethal high speed projectile) on the frontstrap, affecting the pistol, magazine and grips; the frontstrap was hammered back out to permit removal of the heavily damaged magazine, with chipping visible on the left grip panel and a replacement matching numbered right grip panel. The exact circumstances of the damage are unrecorded. Fixed sights, with the "VICKERS/LTD" marking on the toggle link, "RUST" safety mark on the frame, and "GELADEN" on the extractor.

Lot: 1473 - Five Lile Knives Associated with the Film "American Justice"

Grouping of Five Jimmy Lile Knives Associated with the 1986 Hollywood Film "American Justice" with Advertising Posters, Scene Board, and VHS Copy of the Film This grouping contains five knives that were all handcrafted by the late Arkansas Master Knifemaker James B. Lile and were used in the 1986 Hollywood film "American Justice", also known as "Jackals", starring Jack Lucarelli, Gerald McRaney, Jameson Parker, and Wilford Brimley. The action film follows two former police officers who find themselves unofficially investigating a human trafficking ring along the U.S./Mexico border, implicating law enforcement. One of the most influential knifemakers in the world, Lile is the inventor of the famous "Lile Lock" folding knife and is probably best remembered as the creator of the original Rambo knife for the movie "First Blood" which generated a whole new era of knife design and collecting. His customers included Presidents Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan, King Carl Gustav IV of Sweden, and the actors John Wayne and Fess Parker. Given Lile's connections with Hollywood, he was a natural choice for producing knives for this particular film. It appears that all five of these knives were made for the character Joe Case, played by Jack Lucarelli, likely providing options for which one the character would use in the film. All five knives are etched on the right side of the blades with "AMERICAN JUSTICE/'Joe Case' No. 01". Two of the knives have fixed blades, while three are folding knives, two of which utilize Lile's patented "Lile Lock". Around 30 minutes into the movie, the character Joe Case appears to be holding the largest of the folding knives in this lot, which is numbered "011s" on the right ricasso. The three folding knives all have ivory grip scale inserts and they measure 8 1/4 inches, 6 3/4 inches, and 6 1/4 inches while unfolded, with the larger and smaller examples both having the "Lile Lock". The smaller of the fixed blade knives measures 7 5/8 inches overall and has wood grip scales, while the larger knife measures 8 3/4 inches overall with a finger-groove metal grip with a synthetic insert. All five of the knives have the "LILE" maker's mark on the left ricasso. The two fixed blade knives include a leather sheath, one marked with Lile's maker's mark. Each of the five knives includes a generic canvas case. Included with the knives is a VHS copy of the "American Justice" film, promotional posters for the movie, and a scene board for the movie.

Lile (1933-1991). One of the most influential knifemakers in the world, Lile was the inventor of the famous "Lile Lock" folding knife, a lock which is featured on this particular knife, and is most famously remembered as the creator of the original Rambo knife for the movie "First Blood" which generated a whole new era of knife design and collecting. His customers included Presidents Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan, King Carl Gustav IV of Sweden, and the actors John Wayne and Fess Parker. This knife is from the collection of Hollywood actor and producer Jack Lucarelli who wrote the book "James B. Lile, The Arkansas Knifesmith, Knifemaker To The World". Lucarelli stated that it is "one of two folders that were basically prototypes and slightly smaller than the small locking folders Jimmy sold to the public." He purchased them from Lile's personal collection shortly after his passing and noted it is heavily engraved and has deep carved ivory inlays. This knife measures 6 1/4 inches when unfolded and features Lile's patented locking mechanism, while the blade measures 2 1/2 inches and is marked "LILE" on the left ricasso. The German silver grip is extensively engraved with floral scrollwork and banners above and below an inset ivory grip scale on either side. The left grip scale is carved in a detailed flushing quail scene with "QUAIL" engraved in the banner above it, while the right grip scale is carved with a detailed pair of pointers.

Lot: 1476 - Smith & Wesson .357 Registered Magnum Double Action Revolver

Desirable Smith & Wesson .357 Registered Magnum Double Action Revolver with Registration Certificate, Box, and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1938, this is a very fine example of the Smith & Wesson .357 Registered Magnum revolver. These revolvers were easily one of the highest quality handguns of their era but because of the high cost of production due to their special ordered and hand-fitted nature, only approximately 5,500 of these Registered Magnums were produced before production was halted around 1939-1940. Roy Jinks notes in a 2010 article for the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association Journal that only 1,439 of these Registered Magnums were produced with a 6 1/2 inch barrel like this example. The included factory letter lists this revolver with Reg. # 3477, a 6 1/2 inch barrel, blue finish, checkered wood grips, and shipped to George Worthington Co. in Cleveland, Ohio. An included reproduction of the registration certificate by Roy Jinks confirms the information in the factory letter as well as 3 1/2 lb. single action trigger pull, 10 lb. double action trigger pull, a McGivern front sight, deep "U" notch rear sight, and that it was sighted at 25 yards for a dead center hold with .357 Magnum ammunition. Also included are copies of the original order form, a George Worthington company invoice, and a Smith & Wesson invoice. The revolver has the standard Smith & Wesson markings, as well as matching serial numbers on the butt, rear face of the cylinder, in the ejector rod shroud, front face of the ejector star, back of the crane, and stamped inside the both grip panels. Matching assembly numbers are on the frame and crane, and the registration number on the crane. It is fitted with a McGivern gold bead blade front sight, an adjustable deep "U" notch rear sight, and a pair of checkered walnut magna grips with "S&W" medallions at the tops. Includes a correct factory box with label on the bottom hand-numbered with the matching serial number and registration number.

Documented Smith & Wesson .357 Combat Magnum Pre-Model 19 Double Action Revolver Owned by Captain E.J. "Jay" Banks of the Texas Rangers with Texas Department of Public Safety Letter Manufactured from 1955-1957, Smith & Wesson's .357 Combat Magnum, or "pre-Model 19" as it is often known now, quickly became a favored sidearm of law enforcement. This example in particular was owned by a member of perhaps the most famous law enforcement agency in America, or the world for that matter, the Texas Rangers. The included copy of a Texas Department of Public Safety letter signed by "Jay" Banks states that this revolver, as well as another Combat Magnum in this auction, were carried by him on duty as a Texas Ranger from the mid-1950s until the end of his career. Given Banks' comments in another letter listing a pair of Colt Government Models, it is fairly clear that the ranger preferred these revolvers over the semi-automatics. In almost all of the available photographs of Banks, he is pictured with a dual holster rig and two revolvers. The letter lists this revolver and the other in this auction by serial number. The revolver has the standard Smith & Wesson markings. It is fitted with a ramped blade front sight, adjustable micrometer click rear sight, a wide serrated trigger shoe, and a pair of diamond pattern checkered walnut grips with Smith & Wesson medallions at the tops.

Highly Desirable Documented El Paso, Texas, Shipped Smith & Wesson .357 Registered Magnum Double Action Revolver with 4 Inch Barrel, Registration Certificate, and Factory Letter Manufactured in 1938, this is a fine example of the legendary Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum revolver with the desirable 4 inch barrel that was shipped to El Paso, Texas. These Registered Magnums were some of the highest quality, hand-fit revolvers of their day, making them widely popular among law enforcement, but due to the high production cost of the special-order work and the registration process, the eventual end of production of the Registered Magnum occurred in 1939-1940 with only approximately 5,500 produced.

These revolvers were custom built to order with the high production cost leading to the model being discontinued around 1939-1940 with approximately 5,500 total produced. In a 2010 article for the "Smith & Wesson Collectors Association Journal", Roy Jinks notes that only 363 of these revolvers were produced with a 3 1/2 inch barrel. "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson" by Supica and Nahas notes that it is believed that fewer than 200 of the Registered Magnums received a factory nickel plated finish. The included factory letter lists this revolver with a 3 1/2 inch barrel and nickel finish when shipped to Peoples County Office in Birmingham, Alabama, on 7 May 1937. Also included are copies of the original order form, invoice, and correspondence between the Peoples Loan Office and Smith & Wesson, inquiring whether the barrel length of the revolver could be changed for Richard McLure prior to shipment, with Smith & Wesson's response noting that the revolver had already shipped.

These revolvers were highly sought after by law enforcement during the period due to the plethora of special order features and configurations, as well as the extremely high quality of the fit and finish. These things lead to high production costs and eventual discontinuation of the Registered Magnum around 1939-1940 with only around 5,500 total produced, keeping these rare revolvers highly desirable on today's collectors market. In a 2010 article for the "Smith & Wesson Collectors Association Journal", Roy Jinks notes that only 787 of these revolvers were produced with a 5 inch barrel. "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson" by Supica and Nahas notes that it is believed that fewer than 200 of the Registered Magnums received a factory nickel plated finish. The same book notes that it is reported that only 15 of these revolvers were shipped to the Indianapolis Police Department.
