Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000

serial #93067, 9mm, 4 5/8" barrel with a very good bore showing fine oxidation in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this non-slotted tangent sight pistol retain perhaps 40% original blue toning overall to a mild gray-brown patina and showing some sparsely scattered fine pinprick pits and light dings. The tangent sight pin has been replaced with a small screw that serves its purpose well enough. All markings remain crisp and clear and the major components are appropriately stamped with German eagle firing proofs and "(Eagle) / WaA103" Waffenamts. The checkered walnut grips rate very good plus showing some scattered light dings and darkening from the years. The slide and barrel are matching the frame, one original magazine with a faint Waffenamt is included and the action seems to function well mechanically. Also included is a nice brown leather flap holster that has been neatly converted to a shoulder holster rig during the period of use. The interior flap is clearly marked "cgn / 43" and with a "(Eagle) / WaA920" and the holster rates very good plus showing some areas of light crackling, scuffs and edge wear. The straps are riveted to the holster body and all stitching is otherwise strong. A solid German occupation Hi-Power with a neat period shoulder rig. (13A9736-76) {C&R} (1500/2000)

All markings remain crisp and clear and the slide is properly marked with the etched F. B. Radom markings and Germany military stamps including the German designation, "(Eagle) / WaA77", eagle firing proof and "(Eagle) / 623". The checkered brown synthetic grips are good quality reproductions that fit the frame very well and remain in near excellent condition showing some light handling marks. There is no lanyard ring present, all of the serialized parts are otherwise matching and the action seems to function well mechanically. One original "(Eagle) / 189" magazine is included. A solid example of a rather scarce subvariation assembled from parts on-hand during the earliest days of occupation. (13B9736-79) {C&R} (1200/1800)

German P.08 Police Luger Pistol by DWM with Matching Magazines

Lot # 83 (Sale Order: 83 of 915)

Low Estimate: 1,200High Estimate: 1,800

serial #3518e, 9mm, 4" barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing some scattered light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1917-dated and Weimar 1920 property-dated pistol retain about 85% arsenal refurbished rust blue with most of the loss due to a few small patches of moderate pitting along the left side barrel, sideplate and frontstrap along with high edge wear, some scattered spots of light oxidation staining and gripstraps toning to gray-brown patina. The small parts retain good straw color, silvering along the safety along with some light oxidation staining while the sear spring and toggle pins show pale fire blue. All markings remain intact and clear, the barrel is an arsenal replacement during refurbishment and is stamped only with the serial number. The checkered hardwood grips remain in about good condition showing some darkened areas of oil soaking, worn checkering and a small chip on the left panel below the safety. The left panel is stamp-numbered to the gun and the right appears to be un-numbered. As is typical, the magazine safety has been removed while the sear safety is intact, all of the serialized parts are matching including the grooved firing pin and the action seems to function well mechanically. Included with this pistol are two matching police magazines, 1934-dated holster and multi-tool. The magazines are bright-bodied with aluminum bases marked "1 / 3518" and "2 / 3518" and with "(Eagle) / L" police stamps. Magazine one is a desirable early Haenel Schmeisser Patent example and is also stamped with a police eagle on the body after the patent marking. The magazine show some light corrosion on the bases and some scattered spots of light pitting along the bodies, otherwise rating very good plus. The Luger tool is unmarked and rates very good showing some light pitting, oxidation staining and remnants of original blue. The black leather holster is by Carl Heinichen of Dresden and dated 1934 showing clear interior markings and "(Eagle) / WaA105". The holster remains in very good plus to very fine condition, the finish toning to a deep brown in some areas with light crackling along the lid and strap along with some other scattered light handling marks. The wide internal tool pouch strap and back surface of the main body are both stamped with a large "4", the buckle is intact and all stitching remains strong. A solid example of a police rework Luger that has seen long service, even more desirable with its matching magazines. (13B9757-14) {C&R} [Mike DeSantis Collection] (1200/1800)

Winchester Model 1876 Deluxe Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 85 (Sale Order: 85 of 915)

Low Estimate: 5,000High Estimate: 7,000

serial #50061, 40-60 WCF, 28'' barrel with a very good bore showing bright areas and strong rifling, with light frosting and a few spots of light pitting its full-length. A very attractive and well-used deluxe rifle, this was clearly ordered by a person of means who took it afield often. The barrel and magazine tube are primarily a smooth brown patina with some vestiges of original blue here and there and wear to pewter on the sharp edges and contact points. There are scattered remnants of light oxidation about the surfaces and a few areas of light pitting on the magazine tube, with the band showing light pitting, the nosecap is a pleasing smooth smoky gray-blue case-hardened patina. The frame retains rather nice smoky gray case hardening over all with some trace colors in some of the protected areas, some plum brown spots of the base metal flaking through. The loading gate is a pleasing smoky blue-gray and there are vestiges of color on the hammer, the lever more of a plum brown and dark gray. The deluxe grade checkered walnut pistolgrip stock shows some strong trace original varnish, with the expected overall light dings and handling marks that come from a field-used arm, but with the edges still crisp, the ebony pistolgrip insert is intact and the wood proud of the metal. The tang is numbered ''2455 XX'' and the upper tang inlet in the buttstock is marked ''P 2455'' (the inside toe of the buttplate is numbered alike). The forend is similar to the buttstock, showing the same lovely grain figure as the buttstock, but with more wear in the carry area at its rear, the checkering worn more smooth and with a few more light handling marks. The original a silver blade front sight is intact, it shows a couple minor impact marks, the ladder style sporting rear is present as well and correctly marked ''1876''. The gun seems to function well mechanically, the cartridge guide on the bottom of the bolt is present, as is the extractor. A couple of the screw slots show some light damage but most are crisp and unmolested. While clearly used afield often, the gun was well-cared-for. (3B9745-1) {ANTIQUE} (5000/7000)

Parker Smallbore VH Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot # 90 (Sale Order: 90 of 915)

Low Estimate: 7,000High Estimate: 9,000

serial #150726, 28 ga., 26'' Vulcan steel barrels choked cylinder and improved cylinder with bright very fine bores which show a few remnants of some sparsely scattered very light pitting, primarily in the right tube nearer the muzzles, the left with a very tiny ding which would be very easily rectified. This is a handy little smallbore Parker on a 0 frame. The barrels retain about 85-90% original blue, the loss due to even overall fading, appearing stronger under normal ambient light. There is wear to pewter at the muzzles with a bit of water staining on the left tube and even honest wear near the breeches, with perhaps a few very sparsely scattered minor spots of light oxidation here or there. The frame is a pleasing mottled case-hardened gray with some generous trace colors on the left flat, perhaps 20%, the right showing remnants of some light scattered oxidation staining, with all markings remaining crisp. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates fine with much original varnish and the expected light handling marks that come from use afield. There is a 1 1/2'' crack at the rear of the upper tang is which is tight and will not flex and a crossbolt repair was effected at the cheeks, which was extremely neatly and professionally done and is not unattractive. The length of pull to the dogs head buttplate is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 3/4'' and 3 1/8''. The splinter forend shows perhaps a bit more wear rating very good to fine with excellent checkering and the metal worn to pewter. The arm locks up tightly with the top lever still right of center and is on face and seems to function well mechanically. The rib is fitted with dual ivory beads from the period of use and the gun weighs just a tad over 6 1/4 pounds. There is a very small chip at the toe of the butt which has left a couple very small tight cracks in the wood but they are unobtrusive; a couple screw heads show some minor slot wear. A handy little VH that would be just perfect on dove and quail over your dogs. (3B9710-44) {C&R} (7000/9000)

Early Westley Richards Bar-In-Wood Double Hammergun

Lot # 91 (Sale Order: 91 of 915)

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500

serial #12433, 12 bore (2 1/2"), 27 13/16" Damascus barrels choked about improved cylinder with partially bright bores showing light pitting their full-length, some perhaps a bit more moderate though quite small. This is an early centerfire gun, likely made around 1871-1873, not far from the surveyed 16 bore centerfire number 12336 made in 1870. The barrels appear to be purpose-made for centerfire while the standing breech shows dovetailed retainers for the firing pins. The barrels of this shotgun have mostly toned to a silvery pewter patina showing some sparsely scattered remnants of old oxidation staining and fine pinprick pits. The barrels still show some subtle swirling Damascus patterns and the rib retains strong brown finish. The markings remain crisp and clear, the rib marked with the 170 New Bond Street London address and the dolls head extension with "PATENTED OCTOBER 10th 1865". The standing breech is marked "WESTLEY RICHARDS" and the water table "PATENT / 2396". The lockplates are quite nice featuring graceful rebounding pinfire-style hammers with wonderful dolphin head engraving, both plates are neatly maker-marked and embellished with fine English scrollwork and retain generous case-hardened colors. The triggerguard has mostly toned to plum-brown patina and the Westley Richards top lever retains about 90% original bright blue showing some light flaking and mild oxidation staining. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut buttstock and crab joint forend with horn tip remain in very good plus condition showing worn finish, some old smoothed-over tiny chips along the edges of the forend and buttstock and a small slightly raised 1" crack above the right lockplate. There are some other more minor scattered handling marks and the stock features dropper points, silver wedge escutcheons and a silver monogram plate along the toe line that is neatly engraved with what appears to be "ECE" or "EEC". Length-of-pull to the black checkered hard rubber buttplate is about 13 7/8" with drops of 1 7/8" and 3". Lock-up shows a little bit of lateral play, the barrels are slightly off-face and the locks function crisply. A very respectable example from the early days of centerfire shotshells that would make a fine addition British arms collection. (13B9738-52) {ANTIQUE} [Kris Congdon Collection] (1000/1500)

Cased W. Greener Pinfire Conversion Underlever Double Hammergun

Lot # 93 (Sale Order: 93 of 915)

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500

serial #5898, 10 bore Pinfire, 28" Damascus barrels with moderately pitted bores showing some scattered bright areas. This is an interesting shotgun converted from percussion fowler to the pinfire system by Greener. The barrels have been cleaned to a silvery pewter patina showing faint remnants of Damascus patterns, some spots of light oxidation staining along the right side and scattered pinprick pitting. The barrel rib markings are no longer legible and the barrels show Birmingham black powder proofs. The remaining metal surfaces are a similar mottled gray patina showing some light oxidation staining, spots of pinprick pitting and remnants of silvery case-hardened patina. Both lockplates are clearly marked "W. GREENER" and are embellished with nice quality English scrollwork that remains mostly intact. The hammers are of slightly different styles, the right appears to be slightly newer and one hammer screw is missing. The checkered straight grip walnut stock remains in very good condition and is mostly devoid of finish showing some thin cracks around the lever pivot hardware, a tiny chip at the right edge of forend, scattered light dings and handling marks. The checkering is somewhat worn but mostly intact and the stock shows some attractive grain figure along the butt. The forend has been neatly plugged where the wedge escutcheon hardware would have been on a percussion gun. The locks function crisply and the barrels are a little off-face but seem to lock up well. The included mahogany case appears to be the original equipment that has seen some moderate restorative work, the exterior mostly devoid of finish showing a large drying crack through the lid and a number of scattered glue repairs. The interior is lined in a heavy black paper that shows some scuffs and light staining and the Greener label is intact showing light staining and a moderate flake in the center. The top right corner of the label is pencil-numbered with the first to digits of arm's serial number "58" and there is an additional green sticker with maker's information and ink-numbered "58". The case contains a number of original accessories as well including: James Dixon oil bottle, three-piece bore mop, a rosewood cleaning rod with German silver hardware that is stamp-numbered to the gun, small leather pouch missing its tie, patch cutter marked "11" and two leather shot pouches with brass spouts that have hardened and show flaking and tarnishing, the spout has detached from one and the other shows embossed game scenes on either side. An interesting shotgun from the early cartridge era. (13B9438-457) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

serial #5898, 10 bore Pinfire, 28" Damascus barrels with moderately pitted bores showing some scattered bright areas. This is an interesting shotgun converted from percus...moresion fowler to the pinfire system by Greener. The barrels have been cleaned to a silvery pewter patina showing faint remnants of Damascus patterns, some spots of light oxidation staining along the right side and scattered pinprick pitting. The barrel rib markings are no longer legible and the barrels show Birmingham black powder proofs. The remaining metal surfaces are a similar mottled gray patina showing some light oxidation staining, spots of pinprick pitting and remnants of silvery case-hardened patina. Both lockplates are clearly marked "W. GREENER" and are embellished with nice quality English scrollwork that remains mostly intact. The hammers are of slightly different styles, the right appears to be slightly newer and one hammer screw is missing. The checkered straight grip walnut stock remains in very good condition and is mostly devoid of finish showing some thin cracks around the lever pivot hardware, a tiny chip at the right edge of forend, scattered light dings and handling marks. The checkering is somewhat worn but mostly intact and the stock shows some attractive grain figure along the butt. The forend has been neatly plugged where the wedge escutcheon hardware would have been on a percussion gun. The locks function crisply and the barrels are a little off-face but seem to lock up well. The included mahogany case appears to be the original equipment that has seen some moderate restorative work, the exterior mostly devoid of finish showing a large drying crack through the lid and a number of scattered glue repairs. The interior is lined in a heavy black paper that shows some scuffs and light staining and the Greener label is intact showing light staining and a moderate flake in the center.

Westley Richards Scalloped Droplock Double Ejectorgun

Lot # 94 (Sale Order: 94 of 915)

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000

serial #16044, 12 bore (2 1/2"), 28 1/8" sleeved barrels choked improved cylinder and modified with bright near excellent bores showing some light fouling near the breeches. The barrels of this shotgun were sleeved by Westley Richards and re-proofed showing 2 1/2'' 3 ton nitroproofs stamped over the original nitroproofs. The barrels retain about 90% excellent quality restored rust blue with most of the loss due to scattered small areas of light to perhaps moderate oxidation staining with minor pinprick pitting mostly along the left barrel, some areas of faint thinning and minor handling marks. The original barrel rib markings are no longer visible though there is a large numeral "2" and the sides of each chamber are clearly marked "WESTLEY RICHARDS / SLEEVED". The top lever also retains about 90% restored blue showing some light oxidation staining and numeral "2", the triggerguard with remnants of blue toning to pewter gunmetal patina. The scalloped action has toned to a silvery pewter patina showing a few spots of light oxidation staining along the high edges and is embellished with fine quality English scrollwork throughout and "SAFE" inlaid in gold atop the tang. Both sides of the action are clearly marked "WESTLEY RICHARDS" in riband and "WESTLEY RICHARDS / EJECTOR" ahead of the top lever. The checkered straight grip walnut buttstock and forend with horn tip remain in about very good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished showing a small repaired drying crack at the toe and back edge of the forend, somewhat worn checkering, light dings and handling marks. There is a 1 3/4" walnut extension with checkered butt attached to the stock that shows very slight play, a 4 3/8" piece that has been inlet along the comb and a silver monogram plate along the toe line engraved "AGP". Stock is cast-off, length-of-pull is 15 1/2" with drops of 1 1/2" and 2". Barrel lock-up is tight with the left barrel showing the faintest whisker of light between breech and standing breech and no wall thickness noted below about .030". The action seems to function well mechanically and features automatic safety, Westley Richards' hand-detachable droplock system and robust ejectors. Weight is 6 pounds 10 ounces. A likely usable refurbished Westley Richards ejectorgun from the early 1900's that won't break the bank. (13B9438-430) {C&R} (1500/2000)
