U.S. Model 1917 Enfield Bolt Action Rifle by Remington

Lot # 1201 (Sale Order: 202 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #54314, 30-06, 26” 11-17 dated Remington barrel with a few specks of oxidation near the muzzle in an otherwise bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95-96% original blue finish with light muzzle wear, scattered small spots of light oxidation on the triggerguard, receiver, and bolt, small spots of finish loss on the barrel, and toning to brown on the receiver and bottom metal when viewed under direct light; the bolt has toned lightly brown with light to moderate operational wear and handling marks, the extractor showing a few light wear marks but otherwise retaining strong blue, and the safety and bolt release retain strong fire blue. The smooth walnut stock is in excellent condition with a light divot on top of the wrist, a small abrasion on the underside of the forend, and a minor handling mark or two. Crisp Eagle Head inspection stamps are marked behind the triggerguard and ahead of the magazine, “B4” is marked just to the rear of the lower band, and a small brass plaque reading “16” is tacked to the heel of the stock, similar to examples known to have come from the Remington factory collection. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, Eagle Head proofs are clear on the small parts, and all visibly marked parts are correctly stamped “R”. The rifle retains the standard open sight sights and appears to function well mechanically. A lovely example of the rifle most American Doughboys were issued during the First World War.

U.S. Model 1897 Slide Action Trench Shotgun by Winchester

U.S. Model 1897 Slide Action Trench Shotgun by Winchester

Lot # 1202 (Sale Order: 203 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #937576, 12 ga, 20” plain barrel choked cylinder with a bright very good plus bore showing small spots of light pitting throughout. The metal surfaces of this WWII-era shotgun retain about 85-90% original blue with light to perhaps more moderate wear on high edges and contact points, thinning in spots on the receiver and barrel, light oxidation staining, and scattered light handling marks consistent with a military longarm. The smooth pistolgrip walnut stock and 18-groove forend are in near excellent condition with a tiny chip at the bottom of the pistolgrip, light to perhaps more moderate handling marks on the sides of the buttstock, and some light handling marks on the forend. The stock is a likely replacement, possibly from a period Riot shotgun, as it lacks the sling swivel on the toeline and the buttplate is grooved plastic; a partially faded circled “P” proof is stamped on the inside of the pistolgrip. The left side of the receiver is correctly marked “U.S. (ordnance bomb)” above the trigger, the Ordnance Bomb somewhat light, the barrel shows a second Ordnance Bomb above the Winchester proof, the barrel is choke marked “CYL” and appears to be dated “42”, and the shotgun is within the correct serial number range. The handguard is of the earlier WWI pattern, showing six rows of ventilation holes rather than the later four rows, but the switch between these two designs did not take place until mid to late 1942; the bayonet lug is correctly unmarked. The shotgun is sighted with a flat steel bead and appears to function well mechanically. An honest Winchester Model 97 trenchgun that would fit well in a WWII collection. (14A10768-49) {C&R} (2000/3000)

Low Estimate: 1,200High Estimate: 1,800
serial #1447, 12 ga, 30” barrels choked modified and full, with a repaired moderate bulge about 4” from the right muzzle, a raised ding in each bore about midway, and some scattered fine pitting in both. The barrels retain about 96-97% excellent quality reapplied rust blue with areas thinning and toning to gray under direct light, and a few light handling marks.

Description Update 11/15/2022: Blue percentage closer to 80-85%

Most of the small parts show excellent straw color, the right edge of the trigger, take down lever, and safety toning to a silvery patina, and the sear, front sight, and forward toggle pin retain strong fire blue finish.

Parker VH Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Parker VH Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot # 1205 (Sale Order: 206 of 652)      

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

serial #224035, 12 ga on a No. 1 1/2 frame, 30” Vulcan steel barrels choked improved modified and full, with bright very good plus bores with a few light raised dings and some light scratches about 3” from the left muzzle. The barrels retain about 95% original blue with light silvering at the muzzles, scattered light wear and handling marks, a few spots of lightly cleaned oxidation, and some light raised dings. The frame and forend iron have worn to a silvery casehardened patina with strong remnants of case color beneath the lever and in the protected area around the trigger, spots of old oxidation on the forend iron, and overall fine oxidation staining, less noticeable in ambient light; the long tang triggerguard retains 97-98% original blue with light oxidation on the tang. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in near excellent condition with a tiny chip at the rear of the upper tang and at the heel of the skeletonized buttplate, a few light dings and handling marks, and a lightly added finish on the forend. The stock shows attractive fiddleback figure in the butt and features a Remington hardrubber gripcap, unengraved shield monogram plate on the toeline, a steel forend tip insert, and the skeletonized buttplate retains about 60% blue finish with light wear at the edges and more moderate wear at the heel. The factory zigzag border engraving and “PARKER BROS” name on the sides of the frame remain crisp, the “PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL” stamped on the matted rib exceptionally crisp, the forend latch is stamped “1”, and the forend and barrels are serialized and matching to the shotgun. The shotgun locks up tight with the barrels on-face, the lever coming to rest just left of center, and features a single selective trigger, an automatic safety, extractors, a 14” length of pull with drops of about 1 5/8” and 2 3/8”, and is sighted with a lone steel bead; the shotgun appears to function well mechanically. Interestingly, consulting of “Parker Gun Identification & Serialization” by Price & Fjestad shows the shotgun matching the listed configuration by serial number with the lone exception of “0” extras. While no Remington rework marks are evident, it is likely the shotgun returned to the factory after Remington’s purchase of Parker for the fitting of the single selective trigger and attractive walnut stock. A curious 1927-made Parker shotgun that should still perform well today. (14A10636-100) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Eaglehead Silver Hilt Dragoon Officers Saber

Eaglehead Silver Hilt Dragoon Officers Saber

Lot # 1210 (Sale Order: 211 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,500
30 1/2” curved non-fullered blade equipped with a 10 1/2” raised false edge. This unique and rather interesting saber with exception of the decorative hilt and fullers, has a blade similar in appearance to the saber on page 28 of Crouch’s book “Historic American Swords” and is most likely a British made saber for American trade. The blade is etched with white panels of floral motifs and military trophies in between gilded floral motifs, standing Lady Britannia holding an olive branch in one hand and a staff with liberty cap in the other, Federal Eagle clutching 15 star shield and stand of arms on a blue background. The gilded etching retains much original gilt, majority of which is in the protected areas of the ricassos while the panels are a bright silver patina, the etching quite crisp and clear. The background retains about 70% blue toning to gray with some sparse light oxidation mainly at the beginning of the forte, still with good amounts of bright fire blue. The foible remains overall bright with light scabbard marks, a couple light freckles and fine staining. The decorative silverplated brass hilt has an eaglehead pommel with faceted backstrap, P-shaped guard with three oakleaf cluster knucklebow ending in a scalloped finial with dual shield shaped langets showing raised eagle head holding beads in beak above blossom, double grooved ferrule and a polished bone grip. The hilt has a pleasing tarnished silver patina wearing only lightly along the high edges, the exposed brass surfaces are a lightly softened goldenrod, knucklebow showing a nicely performed older repair. The polished bone grip remains in excellent condition having slightly shrunken with age leaving a slight gap along the backstrap and the ferrule a little loose. The knucklebow shows a soft soldered repair under the upper cluster leaving the guard and backstrap loose. The buffer washer shows wear but remains fully intact. The brass scabbard is equipped with dual hanging rings with plain hangers and a thin simple throat and drag. The obverse side of the scabbard is engraved with a military panoply and rococo decor at the hangers and tip. The scabbard retains about 60% original silver plate with dark tarnish along the edges and the exposed surfaces having a nice, softened brass patina. A very good circa 1800-1815 ornate dragoon officer’s saber. (5B10250-51) [Peter Tillou Collection] (1500/2500)

The polished bone grip remains in excellent condition having slightly shrunken with age leaving a slight gap along the backstrap and the ferrule a little loose. The knucklebow shows a soft soldered repair under the upper cluster leaving the guard and backstrap loose. The buffer washer shows wear but remains fully intact. The brass scabbard is equipped with dual hanging rings with plain hangers and a thin simple throat and drag. The obverse side of the scabbard is engraved with a military panoply and rococo decor at the hangers and tip. The scabbard retains about 60% original silver plate with dark tarnish along the edges and the exposed surfaces having a nice, softened brass patina. A very good circa 1800-1815 ornate dragoon officer’s saber. (5B10250-51) [Peter Tillou Collection] (1500/2500)

Anson & Deeley Boxlock Drilling by Emil Kerner

Lot # 1211 (Sale Order: 212 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #11408, 16 ga (2 1/2") / 9.3x72R, 26 1/2" Krupp Stahl nitro proof barrels. The shotgun barrels are choked modified and full and rate about very good as lightly freckled, the left tube having a few small dings, the right having light to more minor pitting visible throughout. The rifle barrel rates very good to near excellent and is lightly freckled in the grooves. The barrels retain about 90% of a later applied blue finish that has light wear and is mixing with areas of light surface oxidation, pitting and minor to moderate tool marks. The largest of these marks is located to the right of the rear claw mount and partially obscures the tail end of the maker marking. The remaining metal surfaces are overall mottled gray with silvery pewter tones and feature rich foliate and doe and stag game scenes on both sides of the side-clipped frame. Both the barrels and frame are marked “ANSON & DEELEY DRILLING” as well as “ORIGINAL KERNER”. The barrel markings are soft but still very visible, the barrels and forearm iron are numbered to the frame. The triggerguard is smooth steel and mostly mottled brown and gray. The European walnut stocks rate about very good and have added finish with several small to minor dings and handling marks throughout, there is a minor scratch on the left side of the buttstock near the heel. The checkered patterns remain soft but present with a few minor depressions, there are some small areas of minor flaking and fading but no significant chipping or cracking to the wood. The forearm is a splinter style while the pistolgrip buttstock features a left side cheekrest with accent line and has a four-position trap along the toe-line for rifle cartridge storage. The trap’s cover features an engraved waterfowl scene. The checkered horn buttplate has some light chipping around its border, there is a more minor divot possibly a result of insect damage at the heel and the stock has a 13 3/4" length of pull to the forward trigger. The barrels are equipped with a silver bead front sight and a simple flip-up notched rear sight. The solid rib is fitted with claw mounts that hold an Ernst Steigleder riflescope. The scope features a post and crosshair reticle and has clear optics. The scope is numbered “J4197” and includes a leather storage case that is numbered the same. Additionally, the scope is marked “HOLLAND & HOLLAND” along the left side of the tube between the mounts, and “ALDIS BROTHERS. / BIRMINGHAM / No 70087 / 1916.” atop the eye lens housing. Other features include a left-side Greener safety, cocking indicators and a top-tang barrel selector. The action locks-up tight and the top lever comes to rest at center. Overall, this is a very nice, solid drilling that is in a popular chambering and would make a terrific hunting arm. (4A10780-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Needham & Company Large Bore Percussion Double Rifle

Needham & Company Large Bore Percussion Double Rifle

Lot # 1212 (Sale Order: 213 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
about .65 cal., 30 1/2” barrels with mostly bright fine bores which show strong rifling but with scattered light oxidation and some scattered light pitting in the two groove rifling. The barrels are a two-tone dark and light gray damascus twist with the remnants of some light oxidation staining here and there, showing an old re-striking and polishing years ago which has left the rib markings light. The breeches are a dull gray-blue patina with a bit of a light scroll engraving on the rib extension between and platinum blow out plugs. The metal surfaces are all a silvery and gray patina, the triggerguards showing a light cleaning. They feature excellent quality tight flowing English scroll, the lockplates with light borderline engraving and are maker marked. The locks feature front sliding safeties with the left hammer spur showing a quality older repair and the left lockplate with some evident pitting. The pendulum style patchbox has nice quality scroll with an endearing walking elephant on the lid, the buttplate lightly cleaned with only remnants of engraving on the tang. The English walnut stock rates very good as refinished many years ago showing numerous repairs along the sharp edges of the forearm area, a few chips around the lockplates and the buttplate being slightly proud. There is a left-sided rounded shadowline cheekpiece and an oval silver monogram plate along the wrist which is un-engraved. The locks seem to function well mechanically and the hammers are very nearly in time, the right sitting a bit far forward. There is a simple bead front sight and three folding leaf rears graduated for 100-300 yards. Included is what is likely the original ramrod with a wad-pull end; the threaded end cover is missing. A nice quality large bore double rifle that clearly saw use over the years, the quality of the engraving was really very good and the pachyderm on the patchbox lid is very endearing.

All the parts appear correct for the period of manufacture, the gun functions mechanically, markings remain strong including the “[eagle] / S17” acceptance mark, although the provisional inspection mark “H” and proof mark “P” on the barrel are soft from cleaning. The pistol includes a single seven-round American Pin Co. marked magazine that has reapplied Parkerized finish and features a pinned floorplate. The gun includes an aftermarket hardcase. A professional has beautifully refurbished this Great War pistol. (8A10739-5) {C&R} (1200/1800)
