Colt Model 1862 Police Percussion Revolver

Colt Model 1862 Police Percussion Revolver

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 1,800High Estimate: 2,200
serial #47644, .36 cal, 4 1/2" round barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing an area of oxidation right at the muzzle with otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This is a rather nice revolver from the last year of production (1873) with areas of moderate loss that appear to be due to blood protein or some similar caustic reaction, otherwise with strong original finish. The barrel retains about 65-70% original bright blue with the balance toning to gray-brown and showing small areas of mild erosion and the New York address remains intact and legible. The cylinder retains about 40% original bright blue, loss due to the same, with areas of moderate erosion toning to gray-brown and the safety pins partially intact. The frame, hammer and loading lever retain about 85% vibrant case-hardened colors with most of the loss along the left side of the frame and hammer along with some scattered smaller areas of loss. The triggerguard and backstrap have mostly toned to mild ocher patina retaining perhaps 15-20% original silver finish in the protected areas. All markings are intact and the screw heads, wedge and trigger retain much of their brilliant fire blue. The smooth walnut grip is ink-numbered to the gun and remains in very fine condition retaining about 90% original varnish showing some scattered light handling marks and the varnish is rather discolored and crazing along the left side. The wedge is un-numbered, the remaining serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically with excellent timing and lock-up. A fine example for the Colt collector.

serial #43387, .36 cal, 6 1/2" octagon barrel with a partially bright bore showing scattered light pitting, a slight bulge about 2 1/4" forward of the breech and otherwise good rifling throughout. The barrel of this third series revolver retains perhaps 65-70% original thinning bright blue toning to a smooth gray-brown patina and showing some scattered light dings.

Scarce Colt New Service Double Action Revolver

Scarce Colt New Service Double Action Revolver

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 3,500High Estimate: 5,000
serial #346700, 45 Colt, 7 1/2'' barrel with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1939-manufactured New Service retain 98-99% original nickel with miniscule handling marks near overall, most notably a 1 1/2'' long scratch on the sideplate and a small impact on the cylinder, however, none of these marks penetrate the finish and the Rampant Colt stamp on the sideplate and barrel address are crisp and clear. The factory checkered walnut fleur-de-lis grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions are near excellent and are numbered to an earlier gun with some very nice figure peeking through the checkering. It is purported that just over 6,000 of these commercial revolvers were nickel-finished, this is a rare opportunity for the Colt collector who (almost) has it all. (22B9735-52) {C&R} (3500/5000)

L.C. Smith Ideal Grade Featherweight Sidelock Double Shotgun

L.C. Smith Ideal Grade Featherweight Sidelock Double Shotgun

Lot # 6 (Sale Order: 6 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000
serial #FW 187781, 12 ga., 30'' barrels choked modified and full with bright otherwise excellent bores, the right showing some very scant remnants of some very light oxidation or light pitting, primarily just ahead of the chamber. The barrels retain about 97% original blue, the loss due to even fading, also showing some sparsely scattered areas of light oxidation, most prominent atop the rib. The frame and lockplates retain perhaps 95-97% original color case-hardening, muting somewhat at the rear of the plates, with the belly of the frame being a silvery smoky case-hardened patina showing remnants of light oxidation staining. The triggerguard still retains good original blue and there is good case color on the top lever. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates very good as lightly cleaned, now devoid of varnish with remnants of some light dings and handling marks, the hard rubber gripcap somewhat proud. The splinter style forend is similar with its tip insert intact and the wood proud of the forend iron; the metal showing strong original blue. The gold oval monogram plate along the toeline is neatly engraved during the period of use ''Edward Bush'' and the length of pull to the Jostam anti-flinch recoil pad is 13 1/4'' to the Hunter One Trigger; drops are 1 5/8'' and 2 3/4''. The arm locks up tight and features extractors, non-automatic safety, dual ivory beads and as-mentioned, ''Hunter One Trigger'', factory stamped on the triggerplate itself. The trigger works well for the most part, occasionally a bump of the stock is required to fire the second barrel, it is no doubt merely a bit gummed up from the years. A very attractive Ideal Grade ''Elsie'' that would be great for ''ducks over dekes'' or open field pheasants. (3B9741-4) {C&R} (1500/2000)

Ithaca Grade 4E Single Barrel Trap Shotgun

Ithaca Grade 4E Single Barrel Trap Shotgun

Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 7 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000
serial #290153-T, 12 ga., 32'' ventilated rib barrel choked full with a bright about excellent bore which shows some very light remnants of extremely light pitting just ahead of the forcing cone, it is unobtrusive and appears to have been very neatly, professionally honed. The barrel retains about 97% original blue, the loss is due to even fading, some muzzle wear, and scattered light handling marks from honest use. The Grade 4 engraved frame retains perhaps 70% original color case-hardening, quite vivid on the top of the frame and the left flat, with the right side toning to plum, the carry point at the belly of the frame a warm plum patina. The typical open flowing Ithaca foliate engraving is crisp with the right flat featuring the American Eagle, left with the typical trap shooter in bowler hat. The straight grip American walnut buttstock rates very fine with the expected light handling marks that come from the years, a very nice fleur-de-lis checkering pattern which remains crisp and lovely grain figure in the area of the butt. The shield-shaped monogram plate along the toeline remains un-engraved and the length of pull to the solid period pad is 14 1/2'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2''. The semi-beavertail target style forearm rates about very good showing more wear, four small cracks at the iron, its fit a bit loose. The gun seems to lock up tightly with the lever at about dead center, there is the very slightest amount of lateral play able to be felt but the barrel remains on-face. The rib features dual ivory target beads and the gun seems to function well mechanically with a robust ejector. A handsome Grade 4 just awaiting its turn back at the traps.

Parker SC Grade Single Barrel Trap Shotgun

Parker SC Grade Single Barrel Trap Shotgun

Lot # 8 (Sale Order: 8 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 1,800High Estimate: 2,200
serial #241853, 12 ga., 32'' ventilated rib barrel choked full with a bright about excellent bore. The barrel retains about 95-97% of a very old restored blue finish, there being tiny pinprick pits over all beneath the finish, the work was done many years ago and is excellent. The receiver retains about 97-98% excellent Remington-era color case-hardening and appears original with crisp open foliate scroll engraving with background stippled accenting, ''Parker'' on the belly of the frame, the Ilion address on the water table. There are a few spots of light oxidation staining here and there but they are very unobtrusive, primarily along the sharp edges of the carry point. The arm was very neatly restocked, perhaps during the 70s, and shows a nice checkered walnut Monte Carlo stock with a flared teardrop pigsfoot style pistolgrip and a semi-beavertail style target forend. Both feature ribbon and scroll checkering patterns and rate about very good, showing added finish on both which has filled the checkering to some degree, the buttstock showing some crackling and crazing and a few streaks in the finish. The forend has a small 3/4'' synthetic filler repair right at the iron, and an area at the forend's tip where a ''label maker'' label was once applied; there is an inconsequential drying crack to the right of the forend release in the highly figured wood. The gun locks up well with the top lever slightly right of center, the barrel however very very slightly off-face, but the arm seems to function properly with a robust ejector. There is a bit of a gap at the forend iron and the bottom plate does not currently sit completely flush and the thin metal web at the right front bottom plate screw has chipped away. Length of pull to the 1'' ventilated screen face Pachmayr pad is 14'' with drops of 1 3/8'' and 1 5/8''; the pad was not expertly fitted. There is a Bradley front bead present, the mid-rib is not. A handsome SC trap that with a bit of attention would be a head turner once again and take its place back on the trap field. (3B9741-9) {MODERN} (1800/2200)

Winchester Pre '64 Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot # 10 (Sale Order: 10 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #137975, 257 Roberts, 24'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a stellar classic Pre '64 70 in a fabulous caliber. The metal surfaces retain about 97-98% original blue showing only very light high edge wear, primarily to the bottom metal, and some light muzzle wear. The bolt body remains bright showing only light operational wear and is appropriately DC pencil-numbered to the gun on its underside, the knob toning to a silvery pewter. The checkered walnut classic style stock rates excellent showing some light handling marks here and there and a bit of carefully added light finish, many years ago, as most of the handling marks and light scratches are in that finish. The arm retains its original bead front sight with hood and sporting rear sight and very much appears to have seen very little use over the years, clearly very well-taken-care-of after its rare sojourns into the woods, the face of the bolt still retaining much original blue, as does the feed ramp ahead of the magazine. Overall a super little smallbore Pre '64 Model 70, in an extremely versatile and low-recoiling chambering. (3B9789-42) {C&R} (2000/3000)

The in-the-white buttplate shows some scattered light oxidation staining. All markings are crisp and clear and the arm is stamped with "(Eagle) / N" commercial proofs. The smooth pistolgrip walnut stock and handguard remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings, handling marks and a light flake at the heel. The stock retains a very nice "SAd NSDAP" cartouche with SA logo that shows just a little bit of minor wear. The bolt is electro-penciled to the receiver, the cleaning rod is present and the action seems to function well mechanically. Also included is an excellent quality reproduction of the original manual in German. A very handsome example of these desirable Nazi Party training rifles. (13B9736-12) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Lot # 12 (Sale Order: 12 of 915)      

Low Estimate: 1,200High Estimate: 1,800
serial #5150f, 8mm Mauser, 24" barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing some light oxidation in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1940-dated rifle retain about 97% arsenal quality reapplied blue showing some light high edge and operational wear along with areas of pinprick pitting beneath the blue scattered throughout. The metal was left unmolested and all markings are intact and legible. The buttplate and stock disc are a mild gunmetal patina showing some remnants of oxidation staining. The laminated hardwood stock and handguard remain in about very good plus condition as lightly cleaned showing a thin 3" crack at the toe, some smaller lamination cracks here and there and some scattered light dings. There is a faint "H" with Waffenamts along the right side butt and the bottom of the stock appears to have been struck twice with the serial number, the numbers being very faint. The butt is stamped "5 22 40" beneath the buttplate and the handguard is also matching. This was the first year of Gustloff-Werke production and are rather interesting due to their proliferation of sub-contractor produced parts and variable markings. The barrel is stamped with three "(Eagle) / 623" Steyr Waffenamts with one also on the front band, the receiver with three "(Eagle) / 749" stamps and a "(Eagle) / 1". Most of the other components are "(Eagle) / 221" along with the small "1" or "(Eagle) / 1" and all of the serialized parts are matching. The safety is very stiff and the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically. A cleaning rod, "(Eagle) /WaA655" muzzle cover and original brown leather sling in very good condition are included. (13B9736-65) {C&R} (1200/1800)

The metal surfaces of this byf 43-coded rifle retain about 90% original blue showing some high edge wear, light handling marks and areas thinning to a deep gray-brown patina mostly along the bottom metal.

The laminated stock and handguard remain in very good condition showing a small hairline crack and shallow chip near the upper tang, a few scattered lamination cracks and moderate overall dings from the years. The stock shows a good "(Eagle) / 135" Waffenamt on the right side that appears to be double-struck, the handguard is stamp-numbered to the receiver and the internal number of the stock appears to be "71925", possibly an error. The metal markings remain quite crisp and clear, there are proper "(Eagle) / 135" Waffenamts at right and top receiver, left side barrel, underside bolt handle and triggerguard. The remaining parts do not appear to bear any Waffenamts and the remaining numbered parts are matching.

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #236169, 10 ga. (2 7/8'') on No. 3 frame, 30'' special steel barrels choked full in both with bright excellent bores, the left tube showing a tiny ding about 6'' from the muzzles. The barrels retain about 92-95% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, light muzzle wear, and the expected light dings or handling marks that come from the years, showing remnants of a very light speckling of surface oxidation which was removed, showing brown freckles under high-intensity light. The frame retains about 95% original color case-hardening which is muting somewhat with the years and toning to pewter and plum on the rounded carry point of the frame ahead of the bottom flat, the edges of the fences as well, more of a pewter patina. The G grade engraving remains very nice with open swirls of flowing scroll with game birds left and right and a pheasant scene on the belly. The checkered round knob pistolgrip buttstock rates very fine showing only light handling marks, a bit of worn finish, a couple small fabric impressions and a left side 3/4'' drying crack at the butt. The splinter forend rates very good with a few more handling marks. This big ten bore features double triggers, extractors, automatic safety and tight on-face lockup with the top lever still well right of center. A great candidate for the marsh or turkey blind, still with excellent investment potential. (39768-6) {C&R} (2000/3000)
