Unmarked German Percussion Stalking Rifle

Unmarked German Percussion Stalking Rifle

Lot # 1300 (Sale Order: 301 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
.52 cal, 27 1/2” octagon barrel with swamped muzzle, recessed crown and a mostly bright very fine bore showing some light oxidation in the grooves and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this nice rifle retains about 96% of a nicely restored plum-brown finish that shows a little mild thinning nearer the muzzle and a few minor handling marks. The elaborately-shaped lockplate and hammer are toning to gray showing some remnants of silvery case-hardened patina and are embellished with Germanic foliate motifs throughout and a somewhat amateurish game dog and bird scene that is rather endearing. The fancy triggerguard and breech tang are similarly embellished and patinated and the horn grip remains in very fine condition showing a couple tiny dings. The checkered walnut full stock remains in very good plus condition retaining a healthy amount of antique varnish and showing a few thin cracks along the subtle schnabel tip and ahead of the nipple bolster, some scattered light dings and handling marks. The checkering features a wide mullered border and remains mostly intact and the stock features dual wedges, nice left-side cheekpiece and raised lip around the ramrod channel. The buttstock shows some lovely dark grain lines throughout and is equipped with a smooth steel butt. The rear sling swivel appears to be a more modern replacement and a simple hickory ramrod is present. What is perhaps a remnant of an old broken tang sight base is present on the breech tang and the rifle is sighted with a wide standing v-notch rear with finer flip-up leaf and German silver blade front. The lock is single-acting with double set triggers and seems to function well mechanically. A very respectable German stalking rifle. (13B10648-38) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Interesting German Scalloped Boxlock Drilling by Simson & Co.

Interesting German Scalloped Boxlock Drilling by Simson & Co.

Lot # 1302 (Sale Order: 303 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,200High Estimate: 1,800
serial #19484, 16 ga (2 3/4”) over 8x57JRS, 26 3/4”Krupp Fluss-Stahl barrels choked a tight full in both with mostly bright very good plus, the right with a few areas of pinprick pitting and the left showing a small raised dent. The rifle bore is fair with dark pitting throughout the grooves and somewhat worn rifling. This is an interesting drilling that appears to be an early East German era gun, unfortunately showing no apparent proof date on the undersides of the barrels. The barrels retain about 96-97% original rust blue showing a few scattered light handling marks and a small scuff along the outer edge muzzle of the right shotgun barrel. The solid matted rib shows “SIMSON & CO SUHL” marking and the undersides show various German smokeless powder proofs and the right inside lug with small “SIMSON” inside a shield with a wheel logo. The action has mostly toned to a mix of gunmetal gray and silvery case-hardened patina showing scattered light handling marks and wisps of vibrant colors in the protected areas. The action is embellished with fine matting along the top, some light borderline engraving, small flourishes and floral screw heads. The bottom metal is neatly engraved “PATENT” and the triggerguard bears the serial number in fancy engraving. The upper tang shows “S” safety marking inlaid in silver as does the Greener safety. The locking system of this drilling is a bit different featuring a pair of long thin side-lugs that pass through the frame and end up flush along the sides of the bottom metal. It is also equipped with the more standard Greener crossbolt and side clips. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend with very subtle slight schnabel remain in fair-good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished, the stock showing an older repaired break through the wrist, a few small areas of synthetic filler and small plug repairs. The stock exhibits a little minor play and the checkering remains intact and strong. The wood exhibits some lovely grain figure throughout and features a handsome European cheekpiece on the left side. The fluted horn pistolgrip cap and checkered buttplate remain in very good plus condition showing some overall smoothing and light handling marks. The drilling features European sling swivels, German silver cocking indicator pins, double triggers with front rifle set, tang selector with automatic flip-up rifle sight and claw mount bases. The right barrel is very slightly off-face, lock-up is otherwise solid and the action seems to function well mechanically. (13B10771-50) {C&R} (1200/1800)

Lot # 1303 (Sale Order: 304 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #13, 44 RF & CF, 27” octagon barrel with an overall very good bore showing light pitting at the muzzle and a little more prevalent pitting and frosting at the breech still showing good rifling throughout. The barrel on this big rifle has toned to a pale brown patina with patches of gray at the muzzle and along the edges with scattered fine oxidation and handling marks. The rounded action is a slightly lighter pale gray and brown patina with scattered fine pitting and oxidation. The buttplate has a gray-brown patina with scattered fine staining, the trigger guard a slightly darker brown patina. There is no barrel limiting slide on this model, the release trigger has toned to gray with spots of brown and light oxidation, the hammer and firing trigger have muted to a silvery case-hardened patina with specks of very fine oxidation, the 1872 patent markings remain. The walnut buttstock rates good overall with scattered dents and handling marks and a thin crack on either side of the toe. This rather interesting rifle is built on a Type Four style action and features a false rib screwed to the bottom of the barrel, and two position hammer with notch in the frame for rimfire shooting and the rifle is sighted with a Globe front sight, fixed v-notch rear and a folding elevation adjustable lollipop tang sight. The manual ejector knob shows wear and slides freely, some of the screw heads show light wear and there is a thin crack at the top right side of the pivot hole. A seldom encountered variation of these popular sporting rifles with only two noted to exist. (5B10221-17) {ANTIQUE} [David Rose Collection] (1000/1500)

Marlin Ballard No. 4 Perfection Single Shot Sporting Rifle

Marlin Ballard No. 4 Perfection Single Shot Sporting Rifle

Lot # 1306 (Sale Order: 307 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #30808, 38-55, 30” octagon barrel with a partially bright about good bore showing some areas of light pitting and oxidation its full-length and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This rifle was part of the James Grant collection and is pictured on page 9 and described on page 41 in his first book “Single Shot Rifles”. The barrel, action and Pacific-style lever retain about 95% of an older reapplied polished blue finish showing areas of slight thinning, some light vise marks along the rear edges of the barrel and some spots of partially smoothed-over light pitting beneath the finish. The blue is toning to a rich plum-brown under bright light and the markings remain unmolested and strong showing “38-55” caliber designation on the top barrel flat ahead of the breech and nice Marlin and Ballard markings on the left side action. The hammer and breechblock remain mostly polished bright. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished long ago showing a few thin cracks where the buttstock meets the frame (two 2” cracks being the most noticeable) and some scattered light dings. The crescent steel buttplate has been similarly refinished as the barrel and action. The barrel and forend are matching the action and the rifle is sighted with standard sporting rear sight and plain bead front. The hammer needs to be pulled back and forth a bit for it to hold on full cock and the special order set trigger will require some mechanical attention. With its drop-forged action and Pacific lever, Mr. Grant speculates in his book that this rifle could alternatively be a special order Pacific rifle with lighter barrel and no ramrod thimbles. An interesting published Marlin Ballard rifle. (13B10530-6) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

serial #222540, 16 ga on a No. 1 frame, 28” Trojan steel barrels choked improved modified and full, with a few tiny, easily missed dings in otherwise bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 85-90% original blue with light wear and thinning to gray on the outer perimeter primarily near the breech, light muzzle wear, and light handling marks scattered throughout, and the casehardened frame retains about 50% vibrant casehardened colors, primarily in the protected areas, with the fences and the carry point worn to a silvery casehardened patina, some scattered gray freckling, and a few light handling marks. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good plus condition as perhaps very lightly cleaned with tight 1/4” crack at the rear of the upper tang, a professional quality 2 1/2” repair to the left side of the forend tip, light softening of the checkering, and a few scattered light handling marks; the stock is fit with a solid Noshoc recoil pad with black spacer, giving an about 13 1/8” length of pull with drops of about 1 7/8” and 2 1/2”, and features a monogram plate engraved “ESV” on the toeline. The Parker address on the matted rib remains crisp and the barrels and forend are numbered to the shotgun. The shotgun locks up tight with the left barrel off-face showing a sliver of light between the breech and standing breech, the lever coming to rest right of center, and features an automatic safety, double triggers, extractors, 2 9/16” chambers, and is sighted with a lone steel bead. The shotgun appears to function well mechanically and should perform admirably in the field. (14A10636-40) {C&R} (1200/1800)

A very respectable example of the 1902 delivery of some roughly 2000 revolvers ordered by the Navy, in a much-better-than-normally-encountered state of condition due to the inherent conditions associated with Naval Service.

Quality-Made Contemporary Percussion Halfstock Target Rifle by Carl Buchenroth

Quality-Made Contemporary Percussion Halfstock Target Rifle by Carl Buchenroth

Lot # 1322 (Sale Order: 323 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
.56 cal., 31'' heavy William Large octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore which appears to have seen little or no use. The barrel retains a nice plum tone its full length with some toning on the sharp edges and remnants of some light water staining, primarily along its bottom diagonal surfaces. The arm is turned for a brass starter which is present, there is a nice globe style front sight and a long aperture sight at rear which extends over the tang. The top surface of the barrel is matted for half of its length and the left diagonal flat is marked ''Carl H. Buchenroth, Edmonds, Wn Completed Me'' with ''Wm. Large for Jon Cundy'' to the rear of this near the breech, the right diagonal barrel flat marked ''My Name is 'Hexy''. The lockplate and hammer are a straw fire temper, the plate stamped ''A.D./MCMLXXIII'' (1973), equipped with a European-style pivoting hammer rest. There is a pewter nosecap and simple steel triggerguard with rear grip flourish, pierced left sideplate and crescent butt with simple cupped toeplate. There is a down-folding iron patchbox with a depiction of an American bison on the lid, beneath-which we find an additional rear sight and spare nipple. The arm is stocked in a very lovely grade of birdseye maple, the architecture somewhat beefy, the stock rating excellent with a large left side shadowline flared cheekpiece. Equipped with double set triggers, the lock is single-acting, the half cock notch somewhat worn. William Large’s barrels are known far and wide for their quality and it would appear that Buchenroth and Cundy were both early members of the Cascade Mountain Men, a rendezvous group in Washington; an interesting percussion halfstock rifle. See more Buchenroth items in the timed sale. (3A10526-3) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Contemporary Percussion Fullstock Sporting Rifle by Buchenroth

Contemporary Percussion Fullstock Sporting Rifle by Buchenroth

Lot # 1323 (Sale Order: 324 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
.36 cal., 47 1/2” part octagon part round barrel with a turned medial at the point of transition and a bright very fine bore which shows some scattered oxidation or perhaps a few light pits. The barrel is a mix of pewter gunmetal gray and a plum brown with some very light incise engraving about midway down its length and flanking the point of transition. Features a simple blade style front sight and flat-type V-notch rear, with the drum and nipple barrel ignition. The top of the barrel flat is neatly engraved “Remember Now Thy Creator” with “Cal. 36 Navy” on the left diagonal flat. The rather generous lockplate is somewhat convex with an added teat at its rear and is a straw temper color with a bit of purple at the base of the hammer. It shows the very lightest borderline engraving with “Buchenroth” at its center. There is a simple brass nosecap and brass furniture throughout with a faceted spurred triggerguard and a very generous three piece patchbox with Masonic compass and square at its head. It features four bone inlays and a bottom release, the crescent buttplate somewhat rudimentary with a geometric sideplate with the “all seeing eye” engraved thereon. The maple stock shows some fiddleback figure its full length and is very generous in proportions with a light carved flourish to the rear of the flat-bottom left side cheekrest. There is an ivory comb inlay and an up-folding nipple box beneath the comb with a bottom release. Equipped with a single trigger, the gun seems to function properly mechanically and its original tiger stripe ramrod is included. Carl H Buchenroth was a builder and reenactor in the 50s-60s from Edmonds Washington. Please see other Buchenroth items in the timed sale. (3A10526-4) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Ornate Contemporary Percussion Sporting Pistol by Buchenroth

Ornate Contemporary Percussion Sporting Pistol by Buchenroth

Lot # 1324 (Sale Order: 325 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
About .52 cal., 9 1/2” part octagon part round barrel with a turned medial at the point of transition, and another at the muzzle. The barrel is a blue and iridescent blue-straw-purple tone on the round portion, with some flaking to plum and a light oxidation spot or two. It features a drum and nipple with simple blade front sight and flat top square notch rear. While not marked Buchenroth it follows his architecture and construction precisely and is the mate to the birdseye maple halfstock previously offered in this sale, the lockplate marked identically as that example. The lockplate and hammer are a purple-blue and straw fire temper with a very light borderline engraving and “A.D./MCMLXXIV” (1974), the year after the previously-listed birdseye maple halfstock. There is German silver hardware with an acorn front extension on the guard and a simple geometric sideplate. There is a trapdoor buttcap with a German silver overlay of an American bison head, set against an ivory or bone cap. The birdseye maple stock rates very fine with a couple runs and a few drying cracks in the highly figured wood on the left stock flat. The arm comes in a gold baize-lined maple and walnut presentation case with a full complement of accessories: nickeled oilers, a horn powder flask, in-line capper, maple turn screw, iron bullet mould of the wrong caliber (44 caliber), some spare nipples, powder measure and rod end accessories along with some cast projectiles. An interesting feature of the carry case is the interior music box which will play when the lid is raised. The pistol functions mechanically however the hammer requires some force to be brought all the way rearward to full-cock. A very interesting pistol with some very thought-out accessories on the interior of the case. (3A10526-5) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
