Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall Falling Block Rifle

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 1099)      

serial #100438, 32 WCF, 32" No. 2 weight octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel retains about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to some very light fading, muzzle wear and a 1 1/2" area of toning to pewter-brown on the left barrel flat ahead of the forend. The frame is similar showing some light wear on its top radius and a bit of fading on the top of left and right flats with some high edge toning. The hammer and lever retain some excellent original color case-hardening which is quite vivid in spots with the breechblock muting to more of a smoky mottled blue and gray case-hardened patina. The buttplate retains nearly all of its original color case-hardening with only wear at the heel and toe. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend rate excellent with only very minor handling marks here and there from the years, showing much original varnish, lightly worn on their left side. The original Beach combination front sight is intact as is the Rocky Mountain sporting rear sight and Lyman No. 2 tang sight as well. The included factory letter confirms the barrel length and weight and states "Lyman front and sporting rear sights", showing shipment in September 1906. Really a super low wall in a very fine state of condition with a very lovely bore. (38320-120) {C&R}

As-New L.C. Smith Field Grade Featherweight Sidelock Double Shotgun

Lot # 6 (Sale Order: 6 of 1099)      

serial #FWM58251, 12 ga., 28" ventilated rib barrels choked modified and a light full with bright excellent as-new bores. The barrels on this lovely Marlin-made L.C. Smith shotgun retain near 99% original blue, the only loss being some light box scuffs atop the left tube about halfway down its length, most of which do not even breech the blue. The frame, lockplates and top lever retain all their original vivid color case-hardening, the breech faces immaculate, showing only the slightest hint of wear from being opened and closed. The forend iron, triggers and triggerguard retain all their original blue. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and field style forend rate excellent to as-new, the buttstock showing a few very tiny handling marks and light dings, most prominent along the toeline. The breech faces of the barrel are immaculate showing only light wear, again along their lower edge from being opened and closed, and the gun is very possibly un-fired. The arm comes in its original Styrofoam box with cardboard outer sleeve. The Styrofoam inner box rates excellent and retains the two black nylon web straps which held it closed. The outer carton retains the original Marlin Gun Service Division shipping label showing registered mail, and shipping to a destination in New York state. Someone has crossed out much of the labels in black marker, they are however still completely readable. The affixed postage shows a January 20, 1976 date and the addressee of this one-owner shotgun is the consignor. Lockup is as-expected as tight as the proverbial bank vault with the top lever still well right of center. This example is only about 900 numbers from the last recorded serial number under Marlin production. If ever you were looking for a very nearly as-new LC, this shotgun fills the bill. (38236) {C&R}

The breech face is immaculate and shows no signs of ever having touched brass, the front polished edge of the extractor still brilliant, feed ramp and chamber show no signs of ever having a cartridge introduced.

The metal surfaces of this lovely pistol retain 98% original blue with some light silvering around the muzzle, some light further silvering and a few tiny dings on the locking block.

The metal parts of the shoulder stock retain most of their fire blue with some light silvering and scattered oxidation staining. The stock rates very good plus overall with a lightly added varnish, scattered dings and handling marks. Overall a lovely example of an early Broomhandle that will likely make a great investment.

German C96 "Red Nine" Broomhandle Semi Auto Pistol by Mauser Oberndorf

Lot # 21 (Sale Order: 21 of 1099)      

serial #876, 9mm, 5 1/2" barrel with a very good bore that shows scattered light pitting and frosting but strong rifling. The metal surfaces retain 85% original blue with a few spots of freckling, some silvering scratches and scattered fading to brown. The grooved Red Nine grips rate very good with scattered dings, handling marks and scratches.

An original brown leather holster, a Nazi brown leather stock carrier that is marked "cxb/1941/(Eagle)/WaA727" on the back, and two tools are included with this pistol. Early pistols were not marked with the characteristic "Red 9" on their grips, in December 1917 orders were issued to the German forces already issued these arms, to brand a "9" into the wooden grips and paint it red. This is clearly one of those field or armorer-marked guns. A fine example of a desirable C96 Broomhandle. (208400-11) {C&R}
