A total of 300 trap models were manufactured from 2000-2003 making this a rare desirable gun for the collector and a fine trap gun. This is one of those rare guns that has the delightful bonus of being as-new-in-the-box and features Henry Rodeschin’s special employee number. The faux upper barrel plug, triggerguard, and top latch retain about 99% original blue finish. The stainless steel surfaces of the barrel, receiver, and forend iron rate excellent. Both sides of the receiver are engraved “RUGER (with gold filled letters) / CONTROLLED PATTERN / TRAP MODEL” flanked by open flowing scroll. The checkered pistol grip walnut buttstock rates excellent and offers several adjustments. The comb can be adjusted for height, cast-on, and cast-off, while the aluminum buttplate offers adjustments for length of pull (13 1/2”-15 1/2”) and cant. The buttplate features a 3/4” thick black Pachmayr Decelerator pad with thick black spacer in excellent condition. The wide checkered walnut forend rates excellent. This gun features a 1 1/4” high adjustable rib that is free floated to prevent movement when the barrel heats, the front rib post has adjustment hash marks to accurately raise and lower the rib, brass bead with smaller brass mid-bead, and 2 3/4” only chamber. This gun includes the original factory box that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun, a pair of choke tubes modified and full, choke tube wrench, small screwdriver, Torx wrench, Eklind fold up Hex wrench set (unopened), RIG stainless +P lube, factory cable lock with a pair of keys, manual, and paperwork. This rare shotgun is quite impressive and has many features for the dedicated trap shooter and is a tremendous find for the advanced collector.

Early and Rare Smith & Wesson Model 59 Semi-Auto Pistol

Early and Rare Smith & Wesson Model 59 Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot # 1060 (Sale Order: 61 of 652)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 4,000
serial #A170525, 9mm, 4” barrel with an excellent bore. When production of the Model 59 started roughly the first 100 guns manufactured had smooth frontstraps and backstraps. About 80 were retrofitted with a grooved backstrap, the frontstrap left smooth. The last 20 or so guns escaped the retrofit and were left with the original smooth frontstraps and backstraps. Serial numbers of the first 100 guns started around A170000 and were scattered throughout production. This lovely example is one of those “20” guns. It is as-new-in-the-box and retains about 99% original blue and anodized finishes with a few minor storage marks. The frame and slide markings have later added Bonanza gold style filling contrasting the markings nicely against the dark finish. The checkered nylon factory grips with embossed S&W logo rate excellent. Besides the smooth straps, this gun features a Baughman ramp front sight, windage adjustable rear sight, and slide mounted safety / de-cocker. It includes the original two-piece factory box that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun, a pair of fourteen-round magazines, cleaning kit, manual, paperwork, and a pair of packing lists, one dated 11/22/72, the other 12/1/72. This gun would be the first of what many considered to be the original “Wonder-Nine” 9mm pistol. A rare opportunity for the advanced collector to procure a seldom seen variation of this gun.
