Excellent Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 Target Revolver Shipped to W.H. Wesson

Excellent Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 Target Revolver Shipped to W.H. Wesson

Lot # 76 (Sale Order: 76 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 4,000High Estimate: 6,000
Description Update 03/19/2019: Factory records show this revolver shipped to W.H. Wesson on March 22, 1899. A copy of the factory record is included.

serial #3405, 38-44 S&W, 6 1/2" ribbed round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this wonderful revolver retain about 98% original nickel finish showing just a little fine brown speckling along the left side frame mostly above the grip panel. The hammer and triggerguard retain 99% lovely case-hardened colors, the sights and latch with 99% original bright blue and the trigger also with all of its rich straw color. The cylinder measures 1 7/16" and the S&W monogram on the right side frame remains crisp along with the simplified barrel address without patent dates. The revolver shows almost no signs of use with just the faintest operational wear along the cylinder, the recoil shield remains pristine and the screw heads are clean. The checkered black hard rubber grips with S&W monograms remain in excellent condition showing a couple tiny handling marks and are taking on a deep brown tone; the right panel is appropriately scratch-numbered matching. The original factory target sights are intact, all of the serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically with excellent timing and lock-up. A superb example of a special target revolver shipped to Dan Wesson’s eldest son, Walter Wesson, 7 years before he would become the firm’s President. A copy of the factory record page is included. A rare opportunity for the advanced Smith & Wesson collector. (13B9919-2) {ANTIQUE} [Roy Jinks Collection] (4000/6000)

Fine Smith & Wesson No. 1 Second Issue Revolver with Rare Marbled Box

Fine Smith & Wesson No. 1 Second Issue Revolver with Rare Marbled Box

Lot # 77 (Sale Order: 77 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #11342, 22 RF, 3 3/16" ribbed octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of mild frosting and strong rifling throughout. The barrel and ejector spud of this handsome revolver retain about 40% original bright blue mostly in the more protected areas with the balance flaked to a pleasant deep gray-brown patina showing a little scattered old oxidation. The cylinder retains about 50% original bright blue with the balance similar to the barrel; the barrel address and patent dates along the cylinder remaining intact and strong. The frame retains about 98% silver finish showing a couple small areas of loss toning to ocher brass, a few scattered light dings and handling marks, with the silver taking on a lovely dark tarnish overall. The hammer and trigger have mostly toned to gray-brown showing some freckling and a hint of smoky colors along the sides of the hammer and the screw heads show a little slot wear. The revolver wears a set of un-numbered smooth antique ivory grips that rate excellent showing some subtle striations and a mild patina. Barrel-to-frame fit is excellent and the numbered parts are matching by assembly number. The action will require a little mechanical attention as the trigger spring is either broken or missing causing the hammer to not catch on-cock, with manual pressure on the back of the trigger the action seems to function well. The original marbled box remains in very fine condition showing a little scattered flaking, edge wear and a few small antique repairs that go largely unnoticed. The box is predominantly black showing off-white marbling with some spots of orange accenting and the blue paper bottom is almost completely intact. There are no evident numbers and a simple hickory jag is also included. An attractive revolver with a very seldom-seen factory box. (13B9919-5) {ANTIQUE} [Roy Jinks Collection] (2000/3000)

Fine Smith & Wesson No. 1 First Issue Revolver with Rare Marbled Box

Fine Smith & Wesson No. 1 First Issue Revolver with Rare Marbled Box

Lot # 78 (Sale Order: 78 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #6912, 22 RF, 3 3/16" ribbed octagon barrel with a fair bore showing moderate oxidation and good rifling. The barrel and ejector spud of this sixth type revolver retain about 25% original bright blue in the protected areas with the balance flaked to a nice deep gray patina along with a little mild freckling. The cylinder retains subtle flakes of original fire blue, mostly toning to a dark gray patina and showing some light pitting along the face. The barrel address and cylinder patent dates have softened somewhat from the years but remain legible. The frame retains about 96-97% silver finish showing a few small areas of loss along the high edges and right side toning to ocher brass, some other minor handling marks and the silver taking on a pleasant mellow patina. The hammer shows a hint of colors along the right side and the articulated spur shows some scattered light dings along the edges and retains a healthy amount of bright fire blue. The grips actually appear to be of walnut rather than rosewood and are stamp-numbered to the gun remaining in excellent condition retaining about 95% original varnish showing a little mild edge wear. Barrel-to-frame fit is excellent and the numbered parts are matching by assembly number. The trigger spring seems to be weak necessitating some manual pressure on the back of the trigger to keep the hammer cocked and the cylinder otherwise times normally. The original marbled box remains in very fine condition showing a small puncture on one side from the hammer spur, small tear at one corner and light edge wear. The box is a mix of black and pale purple colors with an attractive marble vein pattern and the bottom shows a white paper covering with no visible number. A very nice late first issue revolver with a lovely and very rare box. (13B9919-3) {ANTIQUE} [Roy Jinks Collection] (2000/3000)

Fabulous Pair of American Percussion Pistols by Schneider & Co. of Memphis Made for Samuel Vance

Fabulous Pair of American Percussion Pistols by Schneider & Co. of Memphis Made for Samuel Vance

Lot # 79 (Sale Order: 79 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 15,000High Estimate: 25,000
.47 caliber, 8" barrels with very good bores. The guns feature adjustable single set triggers and the locks and action are very crisp; the internals are finely finished. The barrel tangs house key adjustable rear sights which adjust with a square headed screw recessed into the tang immediately to the rear of the sight, this style of sight is commonly found on high quality German target pistols of the period. The guns are stamp numbered "1" and "2" on top of bolsters with hand engraved with the same numbers on the tangs. The underside of the barrel and breech are also stamp numbered "1" and "2". The only other marking on the guns is found neatly stamped on the top of each barrel "SCHNEIDER & CO. / MEMPHIS. TENN". The barrels show gold bands at the junction with the bolster with fine simple border engraving at front and rear of bolster and around the outer edge of the tang. The pistols are stocked in curly maple and feature slightly domed flat butts with large silver oval inlays, a style found on other Tennessee-made guns of the period. The stocks feature iron triggerguards with graceful finger spur, other furniture including the wedge escutcheons, forend tip inlays, sideplates and shield shaped monogram plates on tops of wrists are all of silver. The monogram plates are each engraved with the initials "SV". The fit of the furniture is perfect, the lock screws fit perfectly flush to the sideplates when properly indexed, you cannot even feel the screw head when running your finger over them. The condition of the guns is superb with the barrels showing 95% original brown finish overall with a little light oxidation staining here or there but the finish is very strong and even. The bolsters, tangs and locks show over 90% original color case hardened finish which has softened over time but remains visible throughout and has a lovely antique appearance. The stocks are flat top checkered on their grips and retain 95% of their original finish. The stocks show sharp edges, rich color and just have a wonderful untouched surface. The pistols are sighted with a dovetail mounted fine blade front sight and the previously mentioned German-style elevation adjustable rear sights. The pistols come in their original case which is made with walnut sides (the frame if you will) with what appear to be butternut top and bottom. The case lid is quite warped with the front edge being almost 1" open at one side and 1/2" at the other when the lid is closed. The case again is untouched with lovely original surface, the interior lined in green baize with two covered compartments and four open compartments. The accessories housed in the case include a nice fluted American Flask & Cap Co. flask which retains about 95% of its original lacquer, a single cavity bullet mould, two cap tins, a cleaning/ramrod, "T" shaped iron combination tool, ebony handled nipple wrench and two case keys. The sight adjustment key is no longer present. These pistols are illustrated in Wilson's The Peacemakers: Arms and Adventure in the American West. It is in the caption in this publication that identifies the initials "SV" as being those of Samuel Vance. The Vance's were a prominent family in Memphis with Samuel's father, Samuel Vance, III (1784-1823) owning a chain of mercantile stores along the Cumberland and Ohio rivers along with a line of small steamboats used to supply his chain of stores. Samuel Vance was born in around 1823, the year his father died. There is little written about him but he was indeed a Captain in Co. F of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry being commissioned on May 1, 1861. He died in 1868 of consumption (tuberculosis) at his sister’s home in Memphis. His sister, Elizabeth Vance Topp was married to prominent Memphis attorney Robertson Topp, who served in the Tennessee State Legislature from 1835-1839. There is speculation in some references including The Deringer in America that Schneider was a retailer and did not actually manufacture the firearms that he sold and further stating that many were purchased from John Mullin of New York City. Judging from the quality of these pistols, which will stand up to any Philadelphia or New York made gun of the period, this could very well be true. Whether made in New York, Philadelphia or Memphis, they are as American as apple pie, not highly embellished but of the finest quality of the period and remaining in superb all original condition. Only one other set of belt size pistols by Schneider are known, they bear the same markings, adjustable sights and furniture but are stocked in walnut. They also have slightly different locks which appear to be affixed by the same screw passing through the sideplate but have an additional screw through the lockplate and into the bolster.

Near As-New Smith & Wesson No. 2 Old Army Revolver with Original Box

Lot # 80 (Sale Order: 80 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 3,500High Estimate: 5,000
serial #15945, 32 RF, 6" ribbed octagon barrel with a bright very fine bore showing a few scattered patches of oxidation with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this excellent revolver retain about 95-96% strong original bright blue showing some very mild edge wear, the gripstraps and edges of the barrel with some scattered fine flaking to a pleasant gray-brown patina and a couple flaked patches on the cylinder that show some mild unobtrusive oxidation staining, the revolver evidently only fired a few times before being put away. The barrel address and patent dates along the cylinder remain crisp and clear and the hammer, ejector spud and barrel catch are muting slightly to a silvery gray case-hardened patina showing generous vibrant colors on the more protected areas. The screw heads remain clean and retain strong bright fire blue. The smooth rosewood grips remain in excellent condition retaining about 98% original varnish showing just a little edge wear along the right panel. Strangely the right panel is stamp-numbered "15949", no doubt a factory error as the fit is excellent. The other numbered parts are matching by assembly number, barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically with excellent timing and lock-up. The original box with black textured paper covering remains in very fine condition showing some scattered light flaking and edge wear and some mild foxing along the interior and white paper base. The exterior shows a repeating small floral motif and the interior of the bottom shows a blue paper lining along the edge; there are no evident numbers. This is a wonderful revolver in the pre-Civil War range with an exceptionally rare original box that would make an excellent addition to any advanced Smith & Wesson collection.

American Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by L. Wheelock

American Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by L. Wheelock

Lot # 81 (Sale Order: 81 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000
.36 cal, 30" octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a few spots of mild oxidation nearer the muzzle and strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this rifle retains about 90-92% original plum-brown finish showing some silvering along the high edges and scattered fine oxidation staining. There are four holes for attaching a false muzzle (no longer present) and there is a small diamond shaped inlay of gold just ahead of the front sight, the sight retaining much of its original bright blue. The underside of the barrel is stamped "L. WHEELOCK" and sadly the two ramrod thimbles have broken off at some point. The rifle is equipped with an unmarked back action lock with rather slim-necked hammer; the lock, patent breech and breech tang all show lovely case-hardened colors muting slightly along the lockplate. The double set triggers retain a healthy amount of nice fire blue and the rifle is equipped with rather simple German silver hardware including tailpipe, single spur triggerguard, buttplate with long toe plate, and wedge escutcheons, the right escutcheon showing some light dings. The checkered walnut stock with horn tip remains in very fine condition retaining much of its original oil finish and showing just some scattered light dings, handling marks and a 3/4" chip at the right edge of the horn tip. The fine checkering with neatly mullered borders remains completely intact and mostly crisp and the metal-to-wood fit and edges are excellent. The rifle is sighted with a small lollipop rear sight and target globe front with fine post. The lock will require a little tinkering as the hammer does not cock reliably. A rather Spartan but nicely constructed rifle. (13B9670-155) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (1500/2000)

American Percussion Ladies Rifle with Telescopic Sight Attributed to Morgan James

American Percussion Ladies Rifle with Telescopic Sight Attributed to Morgan James

Lot # 82 (Sale Order: 82 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
.38 cal, 21 1/2" octagon barrel turned for starter with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of faint frosting and crisp rifling throughout. This is an attractive small-framed rifle that shows "M.JAMES" stamped on the underside of the barrel in non-serif font and is otherwise unmarked. The barrel is mostly a mottled gunmetal and plum-brown patina showing some scattered old light pitting. The patent breech and lockplate are a silvery pewter showing some mild freckling and the rifle is equipped with a fancy triggerguard, crescent buttplate with toe plate, dual ramrod thimbles and pewter nosecap. The about 1/2" diameter period telescopic sight has mostly toned to plum-brown patina showing some patches of old pitting particularly evident on the right side from cap erosion, one of its rear mount retainer screws is missing and it is rather loose in its dovetail at the front. The scope features a fine crosshair reticle and the optics are quite dark and cloudy, the magnification surprisingly high, objects being somewhat discernible through the field of view. The smooth deluxe walnut stock remains in fine condition retaining about 90% antique varnish and showing a number of well-executed older repaired thin cracks and slivers along either edge of the forend, tiny crack ahead of the lockplate and otherwise just some scattered light handling marks. Metal-to-wood fit remains excellent and the stock retains nice edges and shows some lovely grain figure throughout the butt. A simple hickory ramrod is included and the rifle is equipped with an adjustable single set trigger that seems to function well mechanically. A very handsome and handy rifle made for a smaller-statured individual. (13B9670-111) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (2000/3000)

Fine and Unusual Vermont Percussion Underhammer Rifle by Nicanor Kendall

Fine and Unusual Vermont Percussion Underhammer Rifle by Nicanor Kendall

Lot # 83 (Sale Order: 83 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 1,200High Estimate: 1,800
serial #70, .42 caliber, 29" octagon barrel with a very good bore. This rifle is quite unusual having a halfstock when most Kendall underhammers, or most underhammers in general for that matter, have stocks that terminate at the breech of the barrel. The rifle is quite fancy with scroll engraving on the barrel at breech, rear sight and again at the front sight, the barrel tang is fully scroll engraved as is the hammer. The top of the barrel is maker marked "N. KENDALL / WINDSOR, VT" with fancy scroll border. The tang is marked "SMITH'S / IMPROVED / PATENT / LOCK" which is an abbreviated marking omitting the normally included "STUD". The serial number "70" appears on top tang of buttplate, side of hammer, bottom of barrel at breech and on top of both front and rear sights. The engraved German silver furniture includes a round patchbox, triggerguard, buttplate and toeplate which all show loose simple scroll engraving. The sides of stock at breech show stylized turkey inlays which are merely crosshatched and not engraved and the fancy wedge escutcheons are not engraved. The rifle is in nice honest, all original condition with the barrel bearing an even brown patina with some old scattered light surface oxidation present. All markings and engraving in metal remain clear and/or legible. The stock is of walnut and is coarsely skip-line checkered at the wrist with lots of original finish remaining and with rich dark color. The stock shows normal handling marks and there is a small piece of wood chipped out at the nipple recess. The rifle comes with a period but non-original ramrod which is short but has a very nice appearance. There is an identical rifle illustrated and described in Phillips & Tyler's work Vermont Gunsmith & Gunmakers to 1900, interestingly, it is serial number 68, just two numbers away from this example. We have handled a lot of Kendall and other New England underhammers over the years, this is the first of this type we have ever encountered. A really neat Vermont underhammer in a nice honest state of preservation. (1C9973-2) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Exquisite Pair of Parisian Holster Pistols by Daniel Thiermay

Exquisite Pair of Parisian Holster Pistols by Daniel Thiermay

Lot # 84 (Sale Order: 84 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 20,000
.64 cal., 14'' barrels with very fine bores showing some scattered light pitting. The barrels are bright and feature a scant longish brass blade front in a near full-length incise rib atop each, the sights proper with light open scroll surrounds. The rear of the barrels each have a relief chiseled depiction of a roman centurion with raised olive branch in-hand, his breastplate and tunic in brass, surrounded by light geometric engraving. Each of the centurions is facing opposite the other, and each surmounts a relief chiseled depiction of Boreas, the North Wind. Four sunken touchmarks are on the top flat breech bolster and just above each side bolster of the barrels, three with a small tree flanked by two flowers and one with capital ''DT'', marks of Mr. Thiermay; a brass dovetailed tang with fleur-di-lis to the rear. The locks are extremely handsome and remain bright and are convex with teated rear and small bordered edge, each with facetted pans. The hammers each have nice convex edges with the same flat border as seen on the locks and there is chiseled in relief foliate leaf and geometric decoration, which continue onto the lock plates. The rear of each plate has the bust of a Roman centurion, headless, with each cock screw in a chiseled relief grotesque. The cocks are gracefully curved and the unbridled frizzens each have relief chiseled fleur-di-lis with file cut edges and chiseled tails on the springs. All furniture is brass and consists of facetted turned ramrod thimbles and tailpipes with ornate rococo facetted guards each with chiseled fleur-di-lis front extensions and a Roman centurion on the bow, flanked by open flowing scroll. The wide flaring dual-strapped buttcaps show extensive engraved rococo scroll, again surrounding Roman centurions, with a grotesque on each butt, again likely the green man or north wind. The sideplate is extremely ornate and pierced in an open flowing scroll with a grotesque face intertwined behind the rear lock screw and a depiction that appear to be Bacchus, grapes in one hand and a vessel in the other. The French walnut stocks rate very fine to near excellent with crisp edges and open foliate carving at the forend swell and surrounding the tang. There are the expected light handling marks from the years and there are brass monogram plates atop each wrist with a Centurion bust surrounded by open foliate scroll. The triggers each have a small graceful recurving curlicue and the locks each function well mechanically, each very crisp and positive; the original ramrods are included. Daniel Thiermay (Thiernay) was active in Paris roughly 1700-1740. The tiny tip fleur-di-lis of one of the long rear tangs of the triggerguard has gone missing, the piece ahead of it with a tiny crack, but could be rectified by any number of talented antique 'smiths here in the States. Included with them is an adapted walnut case, fitted to the guns and with recess for a powder flask and compartments for accessories (none are included). These classic pair of pistols have miraculously escaped unshortened and unadulterated in any form over these many years, and are an amazing pair deserving of a fine antique casing. A truly high-quality pair for the discriminating collector of antique or continental arms. (3H9670-426){ANTIQUE}[David & Lore Squier Collection] (10,000/20,000)

Fine New York Percussion Target Rifle by Morgan James of Utica

Fine New York Percussion Target Rifle by Morgan James of Utica

Lot # 85 (Sale Order: 85 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 3,500
Description Update 03/24/2021: Some very fine pitting right diagonal barrel flat behind muzzle

.40 caliber, 27" octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. This rifle is built on a Morgan James type action but is completely unmarked. While other makers like George Ferriss made guns on this same type of frame, the bolster on this rifle is identical to signed examples by Morgan James. The rifle features a single set trigger and comes with its original false muzzle and a brass starter which is missing its plunger. The condition of the gun is quite nice with the barrel showing a wonderful smooth blue brown overall with crisp edges and no pitting. The frame with curved lobes which extend back into the stock shows lots of original color case-hardened finish which has faded to a pewter gray and is blending with a smooth gray patina in areas. The large barrel bolster shows what appears to be a large casting pit which was filled and polished perfectly smooth when the gun was built leaving only a discoloration in that area today. Perhaps this is what prevented James from applying his maker mark to the gun. The stock is of English walnut and rates excellent with perhaps 95% original finish with one small area of discoloration on the right side just ahead of the buttplate. The steel buttplate looks much the same as the action, as does the toeplate which is another clue that James made the gun, as it terminates in a slightly convex fashion, a pattern found on many James rifles. The rifle is sighted with a hooded fine bead front sight, there is no provision for a rear barrel sight and a classic round lollipop tang mounted sight is present. This rifle is illustrated in Swinney & Rowe's The New York State Firearms Trade Volume II page 873 where they attribute it to Morgan James as well. A fine New York state percussion rifle.

Silver Mounted Percussion Fullstock Bockbuchsflinte Combination Gun by Kuchenreuter

Silver Mounted Percussion Fullstock Bockbuchsflinte Combination Gun by Kuchenreuter

Lot # 86 (Sale Order: 86 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 3,000High Estimate: 5,000
.52 cal. rifle over .58 cal. ''smoothbore'', 30'' octagon and part round, part octagon barrels, the rifle barrel with a bright very fine bore which shows just some light oxidation in the grooves with deep rifling. The ''smoothbore'' barrel showing a very fine ''micro'' straight-type rifling, also with some sparsely scattered very light oxidation. Both barrels are a dull gray patina and show a contrasting wootz-like damascus pattern their full lengths. The rifle barrel features a silver blade front sight and a scant flat-top rear with lightly chiseled front extension. It shows silver inlaid scroll engraving around the rear sight with ''I. Christoph Kuchenreiter'' in field on the top flat, to the rear of which is more light scroll, Kuchenreuter's sunken gold horseman touchmark with his initials and another small gold inlay which is not discernible. The bottom barrel is similar with silver inlaid scroll flanking ''an Regenspurg''. The lockplates are unadorned and retain nearly all their original color case-hardening, each fitted with pivoting safety catches, the left lock offset in the stock lower than the right to accommodate the superposed barrels. All of the hardware is unadorned and smooth and appears to be of silver. There is a wide smooth triggerguard with lightly sculpted extensions, scroll-like toeplate, scroll-like dummy patchbox and a cheekpiece inlay along the square-bottom flared Germanic cheekpiece. The buttplate tang as well shows a bit of chiseled scroll-like extension and the shield-shape silver monogram plate atop the wrist has a royal crown surmounting a monogram engraved letter ''D''. The European walnut stock rates very fine with some light dings and handling marks from the years. It features a silver nosecap left and right, silver tailpipe on right with silver screw escutcheons and a fire blued mushroom head staple along the toeline for sling provision. Very close inspection reveals what appears to be a break through the wrist, which was exceptionally well-repaired and very well camouflaged, it is actually missed at first glance. The original ramrod is included. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and the right lock (rifle barrel) features a single set trigger which does not currently function. A handsome Kuchenreuter ''the younger'' combination gun, very fancy in its simplicity. (3C9700-1) {ANTIQUE} (3000/5000)

Fine Parisian Horse Pistol Attributed to Bertrand Piraube

Fine Parisian Horse Pistol Attributed to Bertrand Piraube

Lot # 87 (Sale Order: 87 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 4,000High Estimate: 6,000
About .62 cal, 13 1/2'' barrel with a bright very fine bore. This is a lovely pistol that was no doubt once part of a pair, the barrel marked only ''A Paris'', its sibling no doubt with the makers name. The barrel is a bright gunmetal patina with sparsely scattered very light remnants of oxidation staining, but it is very light and sparse in character. There is a simple scant blade front sight atop the near full length incise rib which shows the lightest, delicate engraving at the rear, where the marking is engraved, with a bird and serpent, hound and hare and a small cherub. While all there, the definition is a bit light, as the engraving is so light. Loose open scroll continues on the barrel radii above the bolster flats with another serpent, hare and birds present. The balance of the metal surfaces are all a gunmetal gray patina, silvery in areas, a bit dull in others. The convex lockplate with pronounced rear teat is slightly banana-shaped with a small medial ridge around its periphery and lightly beaded edge. There is the same very light engraving present on the plate with a light woodland scene featuring birds aflight and a small hunting dog, the plate showing light pinprick pitting, which continues onto the cock. The graceful swan neck cock has a bit of chiseled foliate scroll and the same ridged beaded edge as the plate while the unbridled frizzen is fleur-di-lis engraved on its face with a beaded border on its periphery. There is a ribbed ramrod thimble and tailpipe which are identical to examples found on other Piraube-marked pistols of the period, with a lovely wide-bowed triggerguard with ribbed edge and relief fleur-di-lis. The front extension has a heavy chiseled in relief fleur-di-lis and the triggerplate has two neat gryphon heads extending left and right. There is a very nice dual-strapped iron buttcap with a chiseled-in-relief grotesque on the butt and the same light engraving on the lobes, showing an ancient huntsman ahorse, firing his pistol at a stag being pursued by his hounds; amusingly in each image, a small hare is watching the scene unfold. The arm is stocked in a stunning grade of European burl walnut, which was stained dark, now giving a lovely maple-walnut-like contrast, often seen on American long rifles. There is excellent raised open flowing carved scroll at midstock, with island carving around the guard, stock flats and more lovely scroll flanking the tang. The wrist shows some very nice quality open scroll silver wire inlay around a fancy iron escutcheon with an interesting depiction of a very long-haired mustachioed gentleman in breastplate at its center, looking strikingly like Vlad the Impaler. The stock itself rates very fine with good definition and an older repaired drying crack through the highly figured wood running from ahead of the left stock flat to beneath the front of the lockplate. It shows an older repair and has a small gap showing, but it is unobtrusive. One striking feature is the very ornate open intertwining scroll sideplate with a harpy at its center, it is identical to another Piraube sold by Bonhams in 2012, that example maker-marked. The trigger shows a nice little curlicue and the lock is mechanically functional; the original ramrod is present. Bertrand Piraube was quartered at the galleries of the Louvre and made some of the finest pistols of his day and was maker to both Louis XIV and made a pair of pistols gifted by Louis to Charles XI of Sweden, examples of arms made by him very lovely and strikingly similar to this example. While unmarked, Mr. Squier was a very astute collector of fine antique arms, and this arm was attributed by him, to Monsieur Piraube. A very beautiful arm that is worthy of any very fine collection of ornate antique and continental arms. (3F9670-430) {ANTIQUE}[David & Lore Squier Collection] (4000/6000)

20 ga., 29 1/2" barrels with very fine bright bores showing a bit of sparsely scattered very light oxidation and a few very light pinprick pits; the left tube with a very minor ding about two-thirds of the way down its length. The barrels show a very nice original plum brown finish with some light streaking and some even fading, the high edges toning to pewter near the breeches. There is a simple silver blade front sight with light gold damascening surrounding and gold damascening with a very simple cross Fleury pattern with simple punch-dot bordering roughly 12'' from the breeches. There are raised flats at the breeches showing the same cross Fleury pattern in gold inlay, continuing on the right and left of the breeches, the sunken gold washed touch marks of Juan Esteban Bustindui, gun and barrel maker of Eibar. The recurving lockplates have stepped teated rears and a beveled edge with the very lightest borderline engraving with small sprays of scroll at the rear of each. The right lock flat is marked "Des Chasaux / A Paris'' while the left ''Rue De Seine''. The pans are nicely faceted and the bridled frizzens show light engraving on their faces with a bit of engraving on the flats of the graceful swan neck cocks, the frizzens springs lightly chiseled. There are simple thimbles with an ornate and engraved tailpipe, the wide bow triggerguard showing a very ornate pineapple finial front extension. The bow of the guard shows light floral engraving with a martial panoply, its long tang recurving to the rear in a scant grip, the rear extension with engraved finial as well. The French walnut stock rates very fine and shows the expected light marks that come from the years. There is very lovely rococo scroll and floral carving mid-stock and atop the wrist, just to the rear of the tang. The dainty wrist shows coarse diamond checkering with a small punch-dot at the center of each, and there is a very scant left side cheekpiece. The cupped buttplate shows a bit of light engraving with a small chip in the wood just ahead of the tang; there is another chip missing to the left the barrel's tang but it could be easily replaced. What appears to be the original ramrod is present, the right lock does not hold at full cock, the left lock operates properly however. Pierre DesChasaux was active roughly 1780-1810, Stockel quoting ''also worked for Napoleon Bonaparte''; Mr. Bustindui was active during the same period, 1780-1820. A lovely French double Flintlock fowler with bores that appear as though they could be used afield once again after a thorough inspection and perhaps tune-up is given to the arm by a 'smith qualified in servicing fine antiques.

Wonderful Cased Pair of Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolvers

Wonderful Cased Pair of Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolvers

Lot # 89 (Sale Order: 89 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 15,000
serial #'s 169060 & 169167 (both all-matching including the wedges), .36 cal, 7 1/2'' barrels, 169060 with a bright excellent bore and 169167 with a partially bright very good bore showing some scattered light pitting and strong rifling. This is a lovely pair of 1863-made revolvers, cased, and fitted with handsome smooth antique ivory grips. The barrel and cylinder of the first revolver retain about 95% original blue showing some light edge wear, some thinning and toning to pleasant plum-brown patina and the cylinder with a little mild old oxidation freckling. The frame, loading lever and hammer retain about 97% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors showing just a little old oxidation along the top edges and some faint muting on the left side. The triggerguard and backstrap have toned to a pleasant ocher patina showing a few scattered light dings and some streaks of silver near the bow of the guard. Some of the screw heads show a little mild slot wear and many retain strong fire blue. The single line New York barrel address, ''COLTS PATENT'' on the frame and cylinder, and the caliber designation all remain crisp and clear. All but one of the cylinder safety pins are intact and the cylinder retains all of its naval engagement scene. The smooth ivory grip is constructed utilizing two ivory panels mated to a central wooden spacer, it is un-numbered and remains in near excellent condition showing a lovely patina and attractive striations throughout with just a few scattered tiny dings or light handling marks. As-expected the action functions crisply with solid timing and lock-up. The second pistol is similar to the first, the barrel retaining about 97% original bright blue with some mild edge wear and scattered light handling marks, a few a bit more evident on the right side near the wedge. The cylinder retains about 92-94% original bright blue showing some mild flaking to plum-brown, light operational wear and sparsely scattered specks of old oxidation staining. The safety pins are mostly worn away and the naval engagement scene remains intact and crisp. The frame, loading lever and hammer retain about 92-94% mostly vibrant case-hardened colors showing some muting along the ramrod and top edges of the frame and hammer to a pleasant smoky gray along with a few errant speckles. The New York barrel address and ''COLTS PATENT'' on the frame and cylinder remain crisp and clear. The triggerguard and backstrap have toned to pleasant ocher showing a couple light dings and a few streaks of silver near the guard. The base of the grip frame is not quite straight, it appears to have been bent at some point before being set more or less back to normal; this is a very minor apology and really only noticeable upon close inspection. A couple of screws show some light slot wear and most of them retain a healthy amount of brilliant fire blue. The smooth ivory grip is like the first, remaining in near excellent condition and showing a slightly darker rich patina overall, nice striations, a very thin age crack on the base and a spot of mild discoloration on the left side. The action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. The included original mahogany double case remains in very good plus condition showing a little older added antique varnish along the exterior. The lid shows a fair amount of warping along one edge and some moderate separation of the paneling across the opposite edge and therefore does not close properly, these could likely be addressed by a competent wood man if one desired. The lock escutcheon is a contrasting inlay of rosewood, half of which has been lost. The interior is lined in a pale reddish pink baize fading somewhat from the years and showing some very mild staining and light scuffs, otherwise rating very fine. The case contains a number of attractive accessories including a handsome powder flask with crossed revolvers and flags with Federal Eagle, shield and cannon on either side retaining about 90% of its original tarnished finish, the spout toning to ocher and the spring with light pitting. Also present are a Colt's patent dual cavity bullet mould retaining a healthy amount of flaking original blue with some light dings, spots of oxidation and clean cavities, an unmarked blued spanner tool, a full sealed tin of J. Goldmark's percussion caps, a little screw-top rosewood container with four spare nipples and a selection of round and conical bullets. This is an extremely fine pair of cased pistols, 1851 Navy's seldom seen cased together, also interesting as they date to the early Civil War period.

The cylinder retains about 92-94% original bright blue showing some mild flaking to plum-brown, light operational wear and sparsely scattered specks of old oxidation staining. The safety pins are mostly worn away and the naval engagement scene remains intact and crisp. The frame, loading lever and hammer retain about 92-94% mostly vibrant case-hardened colors showing some muting along the ramrod and top edges of the frame and hammer to a pleasant smoky gray along with a few errant speckles. The New York barrel address and ''COLTS PATENT'' on the frame and cylinder remain crisp and clear. The triggerguard and backstrap have toned to pleasant ocher showing a couple light dings and a few streaks of silver near the guard. The base of the grip frame is not quite straight, it appears to have been bent at some point before being set more or less back to normal; this is a very minor apology and really only noticeable upon close inspection. A couple of screws show some light slot wear and most of them retain a healthy amount of brilliant fire blue. The smooth ivory grip is like the first, remaining in near excellent condition and showing a slightly darker rich patina overall, nice striations, a very thin age crack on the base and a spot of mild discoloration on the left side. The action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. The included original mahogany double case remains in very good plus condition showing a little older added antique varnish along the exterior. The lid shows a fair amount of warping along one edge and some moderate separation of the paneling across the opposite edge and therefore does not close properly, these could likely be addressed by a competent wood man if one desired. The lock escutcheon is a contrasting inlay of rosewood, half of which has been lost. The interior is lined in a pale reddish pink baize fading somewhat from the years and showing some very mild staining and light scuffs, otherwise rating very fine. The case contains a number of attractive accessories including a handsome powder flask with crossed revolvers and flags with Federal Eagle, shield and cannon on either side retaining about 90% of its original tarnished finish, the spout toning to ocher and the spring with light pitting. Also present are a Colt's patent dual cavity bullet mould retaining a healthy amount of flaking original blue with some light dings, spots of oxidation and clean cavities, an unmarked blued spanner tool, a full sealed tin of J. Goldmark's percussion caps, a little screw-top rosewood container with four spare nipples and a selection of round and conical bullets. This is an extremely fine pair of cased pistols, 1851 Navy's seldom seen cased together, also interesting as they date to the early Civil War period.

Extremely Fine Johan Kuchenreuter Double Flintlock Fowler

Extremely Fine Johan Kuchenreuter Double Flintlock Fowler

Lot # 90 (Sale Order: 90 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 4,000High Estimate: 6,000
20 bore, 31 1/2'' barrels with bright very fine bores showing perhaps a small spot or two of light oxidation or a light pit here or there. The barrels show lovely original pale nitre blue their whole length with some sparsely scattered spots of oxidation about the surface and the overall light handling marks that come from careful use over the years, those light scratches toned to brown. The arm is sighted with a silver bead front with light silver scroll inlay surrounding and open scroll silver inlay near the breeches including the makers name ''Joh Andre Kuchenreuter'' with his signature horseman sunken touchmarks. The blue fades a bit more near the breeches and there is one spot of light pitting right above the forestock but it is very unobtrusive. The lockplates retain their original bright polish finish with some very sparsely scattered light oxidation staining here and there, the faces of the frizzens showing a bit of light pitting and with gold lined pans and vents remaining brilliant. The lockplate is somewhat convex with a ridge around its periphery, the swan neck cock is similar and the unbridled frizzens have a neat curlicue leading edge, the frizzen spring lightly chiseled with sculpted tail. Lockplates are otherwise unadorned but for the makers name and location ''JA Kuchenreuter/A Regensburg'' left and right. The balance of the iron furniture is mostly bright, the ramrod and tailpipe showing some light oxidation, the wide bow of the triggerguard ending in a single forward-curving spur. All iron hardware shows light edge scalloping or chiseling but is similarly un-engraved as the lockplates, the surfaces a mirror-polished finish. The French walnut stock rates very fine to excellent with the expected very light, sparsely scattered minor handling mark here and there. It features a nice horn forend tip with carved incise ribs running the length of the forend and along the toeline with island carving around the ramrod tailpipe and front extension of the guard, light floral carving between. The square bottomed cheekpiece has a nice steel inlay and there is light carving surrounding each stock flat. The left and right of butt and top of the wrist around the tang features extremely fine quality open flowing scroll and floral decoration and the grain figure in the butt of the stock is lovely. There is a wide bail attached at the forend for a sling and a typical Germanic stud along the flat toeline. The locks seem to function well mechanically and the original horn-tipped ramrod is included. The barrels sunken touch marks are in ovals and feature the initials of the maker, signifying this example was made by Johan Andreas Kuchenreuter, the younger, active in 1758 to perhaps 1800, like his father, gunmaker to the royal court of the Thurn und Taxis. A stunning example, as-expected, of the work of the indomitable Kuchenreuter family, the bores are nice enough that this could no doubt be used after a thorough inspection by a competent gunsmith.

The cylinder naval engagement scene remains strong and mostly intact with some scattered slightly softened areas. The smooth walnut grip is ink-numbered to the gun and remains in near excellent condition retaining about 95% original varnish showing a few light dings and handling marks mostly along the base.

Handsome Documented Pre-War Colt Single Action Army Revolver Shipped to Ed McGivern

Handsome Documented Pre-War Colt Single Action Army Revolver Shipped to Ed McGivern

Lot # 95 (Sale Order: 95 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 15,000
serial #355461, 38 Special, 5 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a very lovely revolver with special-order factory checkered grips, factory shipped to Ed McGivern himself in October 1935 in a single order shipment. It features a special high hammer without any knurling or checkering, specifically so McGivern could fan the action with the edge of his palm. The barrel and the ejector rod housing retain 98% plus original blue showing just some light muzzle wear with a very minor scratch or handling mark here or there, the barrel markings sharp and crisp. The cylinder is similar, retaining perhaps 97% original blue, showing some very light rotational marks. The frame is lovely retaining 98% to near 99% original vibrant color case-hardening, muting only slightly on the edges of the recoil shield and loading gate with perhaps a very minor handling mark here or there which one misses at first glance. The trigger shows lovely pale fire blue and the bright-polished sides of the hammer remain brilliant showing a couple very tiny flecks of very light oxidation staining. The triggerguard and backstrap retain all of their original blue and are excellent. The arm has a pair of period diamond-checkered walnut grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions. They fit very well and have been pencil numbered on their interior to the gun; the revolver times and locks up perfectly. As-mentioned the included factory letter shows shipment to McGivern October 25, 1935 as a 5 1/2 inch blue 38 Colt with wood stocks. An identical gun was pictured in the American rifleman October 1974 issue on the cover, along with another McGivern gun and a picture of Ed on the cover. It was shown inside with two other McGivern Single Action Armys and is identical to this gun in configuration. A close inspection of the arm reveals that it actually appears unfired however we know that McGivern used his arms quite a bit, he doubtless took meticulous care of them. The Colt Single Action Army revolver is about as iconic an American arm as one can get, to have it shipped to this famous and respected trick shooter and pioneer in the firearms industry puts the arm on a completely different level. A very stellar example of a 1937-produced .38 Special that shipped to ''Mr. Fast and Fancy'' himself for the advanced Colt collector or dedicated firearms investor. (31014-1) {C&R} (10,000/15,000)

Rare Colt New Service Double-Action Revolver with Ed Mcgivern Connection

Rare Colt New Service Double-Action Revolver with Ed Mcgivern Connection

Lot # 96 (Sale Order: 96 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 7,000High Estimate: 9,000
serial # 334301, 45 Colt, 4'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a lovely little revolver with special order features and a purported connection to famed exhibition shooter Ed McGivern. The arm is formerly from the famous new service collection of Bill Powell and is pictured in Colts New Service Revolver © Mullin, on its very own page with full-color image beneath the heading ''Ed McGivern''. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original blue finish, the loss is due to some light muzzle wear and some light sharp edge wear showing perhaps a few very sparsely scattered, very light handling marks, but they are difficult to find as most do not breach the blue. The sides of the hammer remain mostly bright showing some very light oxidation staining in the area of the spur, it certainly would be easily rectified by any competent 'smith. The arm wears a pair of factory ivory grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions which rate very fine with nice age crackling and a couple of drying cracks which are solid, the left grip with a nice coffee-cream vein running down its center. In addition to the checkered trigger the arm has special checkered front and backstraps, is in rare round butt configuration and the factory lanyard loop is present. There has been a bit of custom sight work done during the day. The half-moon front sight blade at some point had a brass insert installed, very neatly and very professionally, that insert has subsequently had a very small orange bar insert installed in it, also extremely professionally done, it can clearly be seen in the picture in the book so has been there a very long time and would clearly be something Mr. Fast and Fancy might do. It would appear as though the corners were knocked off of the back sighting groove in the frame, giving a slightly wider picture of the front sight, it was done very many years ago, no doubt by the man himself. The included factory letter verifies barrel length, blue finish, ivory stocks, round butt and shipping March 1932 to EmRoe Sporting Goods in Indianapolis, however no mention of McGivern is made, it was a single gun shipment so was clearly a special order. The revolver times and locks up perfectly and is as tight as the day it left Colt in 1932. (3B1014-3) {C&R} (7000/9000)

The arm wears a pair of factory ivory grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions which rate very fine with nice age crackling and a couple of drying cracks which are solid, the left grip with a nice coffee-cream vein running down its center. In addition to the checkered trigger the arm has special checkered front and backstraps, is in rare round butt configuration and the factory lanyard loop is present. There has been a bit of custom sight work done during the day. The half-moon front sight blade at some point had a brass insert installed, very neatly and very professionally, that insert has subsequently had a very small orange bar insert installed in it, also extremely professionally done, it can clearly be seen in the picture in the book so has been there a very long time and would clearly be something Mr. Fast and Fancy might do. It would appear as though the corners were knocked off of the back sighting groove in the frame, giving a slightly wider picture of the front sight, it was done very many years ago, no doubt by the man himself. The included factory letter verifies barrel length, blue finish, ivory stocks, round butt and shipping March 1932 to EmRoe Sporting Goods in Indianapolis, however no mention of McGivern is made, it was a single gun shipment so was clearly a special order. The revolver times and locks up perfectly and is as tight as the day it left Colt in 1932. (3B1014-3) {C&R} (7000/9000)

Exceptional Custom Thomas Hicks-Engraved Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Exceptional Custom Thomas Hicks-Engraved Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot # 99 (Sale Order: 99 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 4,000High Estimate: 6,000
serial #SA99345, 44-40 WCF, 4 3/4'' barrel with a bright excellent unfired bore. This is a stunning example of former Colt factory master engraver Thomas Hicks' art. The revolver retains all of its post-engraving bright nickel finish. It features very near full-coverage, certainly better than factory C-level, open foliate and scroll engraving with diminutive background punch-dot shading, very much in the L.D. Nimschke fashion. The front sight is neatly cross-hatched with a small dot at the center of each diamond and there are small floral motifs above the pinched section of frame. The hammer shows an endearing Wolf's head left and right and there is a nice geometric ''running leaf'' pattern across the topstrap. Every one of the screw heads and the opposite protruding ends of the screws are neatly engraved. The revolver wears a very beautifully checkered pair of one-piece ivory grips from Dan Chesiack, beautifully fleur-di-lis-checkered by Dennis Holland in 16 lines per inch. The arm is absolutely unturned since Mr. Hicks finished his artistry. Included with the arm is a very nice narrative letter detailing every level of the engraving and listing the arm by serial number, signed by the engraver himself and the arm comes in its original blue Colt Custom Shop box with paperwork and white shipping sleeve serial numbered to the gun. The frame is signed by Mr. Hicks on its front lower leading edge and dated 1999. A superb piece of firearms art from this respected former factory master engraver. (3E1002-3) {MODERN} (4000/6000)

Highly Desirable & Rare Half Alligator Half Horse Bowie By Woodhead & Hartley of Sheffield

Highly Desirable & Rare Half Alligator Half Horse Bowie By Woodhead & Hartley of Sheffield

Lot # 100 (Sale Order: 100 of 600)      

Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 15,000
This is a lovely large bowie made by one of the most famous and prolific Sheffield makers and is the exact knife pictured on page 256 of The Antique Bowie Knife Book © Adams-Voyles-Moss, formerly of the Robert Berryman collection. George Woodhead and Joshua Hartley established their firm in 1839 and entered in Bowie knife making just a few short years later when the California Gold Rush was a popular time for Sheffield. The Bowie measures 13 1/2'' overall with a 9 3/16'' full tang clip point blade equipped with a 5 3/4'' unsharpened false edge. The blade shows a period light sharpening and has slightly mellowed to a bright silvery patina with scattered fine oxidation staining and some sparse fine freckling. The obverse side of the blade is maker marked ''WOODHEAD & HARTLEY / 36 HOWARD STREET / SHEFFIELD'' while the blade is acid etched with foliate scroll and three panels, the front ''BOWIE KNIFE'', the center a Federal Eagle centered between ''THE UNITED STATES, THE LAND OF THE FREE / AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE / PROTECTED BY HER NOBEL / AND BRAVE VOLUNTEERS'' and the rear a horse team with ''MANUFACTURED BY / G.WOODHEAD / CALIFORNIA / GOLD AT THE DIGGINGS''. The etching has become faint with age, some of which has been lost to time. The concave shaped hilt features a German silver double guard, lovely ivory panels secured by four small bright German silver pins and a crest shaped shield on the obverse panel. The coffin-shaped German silver features a raised and reposed half alligator-half horse of American frontier folklore to celebrate Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans in the song ''Hunters of Kentucky'' where the strong dangerous Kentucky boys are called ''alligator horses''. The ivory panels have darkened nicely with age with age checks at all the junction points on the obverse panel and the lower left pin on the reverse panel, the pommel has a softly mellowed patina and the guard has loosened slightly with time. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a sought-after published high condition Sheffield Bowie. (5D9944-26) [Frank Berry Collection] (10,000/15,000)
