Colt Model 1877 Thunderer Double Action Revolver

Lot # 1375 (Sale Order: 376 of 652)      

serial #130877, 41 Colt, 6” barrel with a partially bright about very good bore showing some scattered areas of light pitting and mild oxidation with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel and ejector rod housing of this 1902-made revolver retain about 50% original bright blue showing moderate silvering along the sides, some old handling marks and scattered flaking to mild gray-brown patina. The cylinder shows strong bright blue in the flutes with overall silvering and some old oxidation staining while the triggerguard retains generous original bright blue throughout and the sides of the backstrap show strong blue as well with toning to mild gray-brown patina. The frame retains a healthy amount of vibrant case-hardened colors particularly along the right side with muting along the left side and showing a few pinprick pits along the edges. Most of the screw heads and the back surface of the hammer show very strong brilliant fire blue and all markings remain intact and strong including the circled Rampant Colt on the left side frame. The black checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colt remain in about very good plus condition showing some moderate smoothing along the right panel, some light handling marks and toning to pale brown. The grips appear to be un-numbered but they are obviously the original grips and their fit is excellent. The remaining serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically in both single and double action with very good timing and lock-up. A very good example of Colt’s early double action Thunderer revolver. (13A10825-32) {C&R} (800/1200)

Harrington & Richardson Sportsman Double Action Revolver with Rare Hinged-Lid Box

Lot # 1376 (Sale Order: 377 of 652)      

serial #C554, 22 LR, 6” barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a few spots of light oxidation in the grooves nearer the breech and otherwise crisp rifling. The metal surfaces of this 1948-made revolver retain about 99% original blue showing the faintest thin operational wear along the cylinder and a few scattered tiny handling marks or sharp edge wear. The dual patent marks along the cylinder flat were poorly-struck at the factory and the barrel markings are otherwise crisp. The polished sides of the hammer remain brilliant while its back surface shows lovely vibrant colors. The checkered walnut No. 4 grip remains in excellent condition. The serialized parts are matching, barrel-to-frame fit is solid, and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. The revolver includes its rare original hinged-lid box that was only used for a couple of years with brown “leather-textured” paper covering and the interior with gold and red paper lining. The box rates about very fine showing some light scuffing and a few tiny tears in the covering along the exterior. The gold embossed lid and end label markings show some moderate fading but are mostly legible and there is a large marking in red grease pencil on the exterior lid and side “J / 81996”, perhaps some sort of inventory or order number. The interior artwork shows two shooters holding revolvers, one shooting at a snake and remains vivid. The box contains the original blue paper instruction pamphlet that shows some moderate flaking and small tears and factory inspection sheet in similar condition shows November 11, 1948 date. An excellent Sportsman with a very rare and desirable box. (13A10825-61) {C&R} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (800/1200)

British Sidelock Double Shotgun by Watson Brothers

Lot # 1377 (Sale Order: 378 of 652)      

serial #5040, 12 bore (2 1/2”), 30” damascus barrels choked cylinder and full with bright very fine bores that have been lightly honed showing some remnants of minor pinprick pits nearer the muzzles and a few small patches of old oxidation. The barrels of this circa 1892-made shotgun retain most of their swirling star damascus patterns with overall toning to pewter gunmetal and mild gray-brown patina showing a few small areas of old oxidation staining and minor dings. The barrels retain some generous original brown finish in the protected areas and show strong 4 Pall Mall London address along the rib. The undersides show period Birmingham proofs and, strangely, the barrels are numbered “2616”. The action and lockplates are a similar pewter gunmetal patina showing a few sparse pinprick pits and some flakes of silvery case-hardened patina here and there. The action and lockplate embellishments remain completely intact and strong showing lovely tight English scrollwork throughout with floral bouquets at the rears of the lockplates, both plates maker-marked in foliate riband and “SAFE” is inlaid in gold along the tang. The checkered straight grip walnut stock and forend remain in very good plus condition as nicely cleaned and lightly refinished showing just some scattered light handling marks. The stock retains well-defined dropper points and very good checkering, likely refreshed some time ago and the lockplate fit is a little bit proud of the wood, the right a touch proud of the frame as well. The wood exhibits wonderful grain figure throughout either side of the buttstock and there is an un-engraved German silver monogram plate along the toe line and very fine condition grooved horn buttplate. Length-of-pull is 14” with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 1/4” and the stock appears to be ever so slightly cast-off. Shotgun features push-button forend release, small brass bead sight, double triggers, extractors and automatic safety. Lock-up is by dual under-bites with dolls head extension and remains tight on-face with the top lever a little bit left of center. The action seems to function well mechanically. A good Watson Brothers sidelock that has seen some honest use. (13A10755-6) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Barrel lock-up shows a slight hint of play and a thin sliver of light between breech and standing breech, the top lever resting a little left of center. The action otherwise seems to function well mechanically. (13B10636-38) {C&R} (800/1200)

Scarce Albanian SKS Semi-Auto Carbine by Um Gramsh

Lot # 1394 (Sale Order: 395 of 652)      

serial #0311-77, 7.62x39mm, 20 1/2” chrome-lined barrel with a bright excellent bore. The desirable Albanian SKS is the rarest of any of the major producers of the Simonov carbine (China, Russia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Albania) as only about 15,000-20,000 were produced and most were destroyed following the Bosnian Wars of the 1990s. The metal surfaces retain about 97% arsenal-refurbished blue with a few scattered spots of cleaned pinprick pitting toning to gray, light high edge silvering and a few spots of light oxidation. The characteristic bolt carrier with AK-style handle and bolt remain bright. All visibly-numbered parts are serialized to the receiver. The European hardwood stock and characteristic three-vent handguard rate excellent with a few light handling marks and is not serialized and features the correct double trap buttplate. The underside of the barrel is import-marked, the sights and cleaning rod are intact and an Albanian AK-style green cloth sling is included. An excellent example of these scarce carbines for the advanced SKS collection. (23B10821-6) {C&R} (800/1200)

serial #100260, 45-70, 32 5/8” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel, bands and triggerguard retain about 85-90% original blue with numerous small handling marks toning to gray patina.

The rifle is equipped with a Model 1884 rear sight and front sight with milled sight cover first issued on carbines in 1883 and the action remains strong and crisp.

Remington Model 32TC Over Under Trap Shotgun

Lot # 1397 (Sale Order: 398 of 652)      

Description Update 11/15/2022: Small hairline crack also at lower tang.

serial #3127, 12 ga, 30” ventilated rib barrels choke marked full in both but gauging modified and improved modified, with bright excellent bores. The metal surfaces retain about 97-98% professionally reapplied blue with breech hood toned to plum, some light thinning only visible when viewed under direct light, some scattered previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish, and a minor handling mark or two; the breech and barrel flats remain bright with a few light pits and some light to perhaps moderate operational wear. The checkered Monte Carlo-style walnut stock and forend are in very good condition with a fine 1 3/8” crack on the left side of the forend, a tight 3/8” crack behind the upper tang, and a few scattered small spots of finish flaking; the stock and forend show attractive grain figure and the stock is fit with a 7/8” ventilated recoil pad, giving an about 14 3/8” length of pull. The hunting dogs engraved on the sides of the frame, the model marking on the belly, and the two-line barrel address all remain clear and legible showing only light softening due to refinishing, the barrels and forend are numbered to the shotgun, and the barrels are date coded October 1935. The shotgun locks up tightly with the lever coming to rest at center and features an automatic safety, single selective trigger, robust ejectors, and is sighted with dual white beads; the shotgun appears to function well mechanically. A classic Remington over under that should still perform well at the range. (14A10453-13) {C&R} [Sherwood "Skip" Chapman Collection] (800/1200)
