The original sights are intact as is the saddle ring, most of the screws show some slot damage. The mechanism seems to work well, "44 Cal ." can still be read on the brass cartridge lifter and the dust cover is intact. A nice example overall of a clearly frontier-used saddle ring carbine in the most desirable of calibers. Manufactured 1890 (37259-1) {ANTIQUE}

serial #9317, 348 Win, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore.

The receiver is nice as well showing a similar 95-97% original blue, the only appreciable loss being a small fingerprint on the belly of the receiver which has left a round gray and brown area with some light pits in it, no doubt a "bloody fingerprint". The lever and hammer retain excellent original blue showing only some very light oxidation on the lever. The checkered deluxe walnut buttstock and forend rate very good plus with nearly all their original varnish and only light handling marks and dings from the years, a bit more prevalent on the left and right of the buttstock.

Superb Colt Model 1900 U.S. Navy Contract Semi Auto Pistol
Lot # 20 (Sale Order: 20 of 1099)
Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 15,000
serial #1104, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a very high condition example of these rare and early U.S. martial semi-automatic pistols, of which only 250 were produced. The pistol bears proper "B" in triangle on left front leg of triggerguard and correct trident mark on right front leg of triggerguard and on bottom rear of the slide. The slide is numbered "1060" and fits flawlessly and matches perfectly in condition. Pistol #1060 was shipped three days before pistol #1104; both guns shipped in 50 gun batches. The pistol has clearly been in this configuration since very early on and was likely assembled like this in the armory. This pistol is listed in Sheldon's book as a known surviving example, pistol #1060 is not listed. The condition of the gun is superb with the metal surfaces retaining about 97% strong original blue with loss due only to scattered light nicks and abrasions. The backstrap retains nearly all of its original blue and shows little if any signs of use. The hammer and sight safety retain 95% bright original color case-hardened finish. The smooth walnut grips rate very good plus with 90% original finish remaining and with scattered light dings and some scuffs. The original, properly marked nickel plated magazine is present and in equally minty condition as the balance of this fine pistol. These pistols are rare, in high demand, and this is a wonderful example with unaltered sight safety. Truly investment grade for the discerning and advanced collector of the finest Colt pistols.

Colt Model 1900 Civilian Model Semi Auto Pistol
Lot # 21 (Sale Order: 21 of 1099)
Low Estimate: 3,000High Estimate: 5,000
serial #2082, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This pistol was factory converted from sight safety to conventional safety. The pistol remains in very nice condition with the slide retaining about 50% factory blue finish with the balance bearing a smooth light brown patina with all markings remaining clear and legible including the Rampant Colt in circle. The frame retains about 90% original blue finish with most loss due to thinning on the bottom of the backstrap where the metal is mostly a gray brown patina. The hammer retains strong original color case-hardened finish and the checkered hard rubber grips which are correct for 1900 pistols above the 2450 serial range rate very good. Doubtless these grips were replaced by Colt at the time of the sight safety conversion. There are some light tool marks on either side of the backstrap behind the grip panels, they are largely unobtrusive. The pistol comes with a later 1902 magazine which is in full blue and marked "CAL. 38 / COLT". Overall a very solid example of the Civilian 1900 Colt pistol. (17254-2) {C&R}
Very Early Colt Model 1902 Sporting Model Pistol
Lot # 22 (Sale Order: 22 of 1099)
Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 3,500
serial #4327, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This pistol is one of the first 55 model 1902 Sporting pistols built, distinguished as such merely by the fact that the slide was originally built without a sight safety, otherwise this is identical to the 1900 pistol in all regards (it wasn't until serial #5000 that the 1902 patent date was added). This pistol bears British proofs and is in very nice condition with the metal surfaces retaining about 85% original blue finish with loss due to flaking on the frame and showing light scratches and wear on the slide. The backstrap is neatly, period marked "A.G. FEENY" in small block letters. Fire blue on trigger is about 50% while round spur hammer shows faint mottled color case-hardening. The checkered hard rubber grips rate very good showing wear commensurate with the balance of the pistol. Overall a good solid example of these early 1902 pistols which were essentially transitional guns between the 1900 and 1902. (17254-3) {C&R}
Colt Model 1902 Military Pistol
Lot # 23 (Sale Order: 23 of 1099)
Low Estimate: 3,500High Estimate: 4,500
serial #40563, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This pistol features the spur hammer, triangular rear slide serrations and lanyard swivel in left side of butt. The metal surfaces of the pistol retain about 90% original blue finish with most loss due to thinning on grips straps and on top of slide. The trigger retains a good deal of original fire blue and the hammer shows strong original color case-hardened finish. The checkered hard rubber grips rate about excellent with just a little light wear. Overall a very solid WWI production 1902 Military pistol. (17254-7) {C&R}

Lot # 25 (Sale Order: 25 of 1099)
Low Estimate: 5,000High Estimate: 7,000
serial #149237, 50 Express, 26" round barrel with a bright bore that shows a couple areas of light pitting but is mostly excellent. The barrel bears proper markings in addition to "MANUFACTURE FRANCAISE D ARMES AND CYCLES SAINT ETIENNE" followed by a crossed cannons and "MF" marking. These markings are from the period and obviously indicate that this rifle spent time in France. The barrel and magazine retain about 80% evenly thinning original blue finish overall with a few scattered light dings. The action is mostly an even and smooth brown patina with traces of original blue in protected areas. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate very good with perhaps 60% of their oil finish remaining and with scattered light dings and handling marks. This rifle, like most big 50's, is equipped with a factory shotgun style buttplate, this one of the checkered steel variety. The gun is also equipped with sling studs mounted in the forend cap and toeline of stock, they also appear to be factory original. This is a nice honest takedown rifle that has a very shootable bore and is in the most desirable chambering the 1886 came in. (17307-2) {C&R}
