The checkered capped pistolgrip stock and Alexander Henry forend are in excellent condition showing exquisite circassian walnut figure throughout. The rifle retains the ramped bead front sight and folding Lyman u-notch rear sight, the quarter rib with integral scope bases, and appears to function well mechanically. Included is the factory box, end labeled and numbered to the rifle. A lovely 50th Anniversary No. 1, from Henry Rodeschin and still sporting his personal “91” serial number.

U.S. Model 1911 Semi-Auto Pistol by Remington-UMC
Lot # 1090 (Sale Order: 91 of 652)
serial #13359, .45 ACP, 5” WWI era replacement Colt barrel with a lightly frosted bore showing light scattered pinprick pitting. This salty pistol has seen some use over the years and is equipped with a U.S. Navy marked Colt slide . The metal surfaces retain perhaps 80% original factory blue showing areas of the frame toned to brown and pewter, moderate high edge wear, oxidized pitting around the left side of the slide at the muzzle in addition to scattered light freckling, and handling marks. Some of the frame finish has thinned to a mix of pewter and blue with the slide generally retaining a stronger and darker color. This gun has replacement Colt double diamond checkered walnut grips that rate about good to very good with light to moderate diamond point wear, and handling marks. The pistol features correct small parts for the period of manufacture and the pre-war era slide features a round top rear sight with “U” notch, tapered front sight, and is marked “MODEL OF 1911 U.S. NAVY”. All the markings on the slide and frame remain crisp including Major Edmund E. Chapman’s and the “[Eagle head / E 28]” inspection mark directly below his. This pistol includes a single unmarked all blue seven-round magazine. A nice example of a rebuilt U.S. Model 1911 showing honest wear. (8A10843-1) {C&R} (1200/1800)

Ruger New Model Blackhawk-SRM Single Action Revolver
Lot # 1099 (Sale Order: 100 of 652)
serial #600-00091, .357 Maximum, 10 1/2" bull barrel with an excellent bore. This 1982-manufactured revolver is based on a stretched frame Blackhawk to accommodate the longer Maximum cartridge. It appears as-new-in-the-box and features Mr. Rodeschin’s special factory number. The metal surfaces retain about 99% original blue and anodized finishes with a very light turn ring on an otherwise lovely gun. The smooth walnut factory grips with silver Ruger Phoenix medallions rate excellent. The long heavy barrel version was aimed at the I.H.M.S. crowd and features an undercut Patridge front sight, black blade adjustable rear sight with narrow square notch and Super Blackhawk Dragoon style steel grip frame. This gun includes the yellow and black un-numbered hinged factory box that is correctly end labeled to the gun, the cardboard shipping sleeve that is also end labeled and numbered to the gun, a manual, and paperwork. Ruger built this model for three years then ceased production in 1984 due to topstrap erosion. Many say this was due to the use of lighter bullet driven to high velocity with fast burning ball powder. There is a cult-like following of the 357 Maximum and many of them believe the use of heavier 180 & 200 grain bullets and non-ball powders alleviate the flame cutting issue. Excellent condition SRM’s with provenance are a scarce commodity in the collector community and a rare opportunity. (8A10799-69) {MODERN} [Henry Rodeschin Collection] (1000/1500)
