Lot # 1360 (Sale Order: 361 of 649)
serial #25900, 38 Special, 1 7/8” barrel with an excellent bore. This early flat latch five-screw revolver has seen minimal use and remains in wonderful condition.

The service trigger and hammer retain beautiful swirls of case-hardened colors. The diamond checkered walnut factory Magna grips feature silver S&W medallions, they are numbered to the gun, and they rate excellent. This gun features the transitional serrated Baughman ramp front sight, fixed rear sight, has the small triggerguard of the early guns, and appears to function mechanically. All the appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun. A must have for the serious J-frame collector. (8B10826-343) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)

Early Contemporary Percussion Fullstock Sporting Rifle By Southgate
Lot # 1366 (Sale Order: 367 of 649)
serial #97, .44 cal., 38” octagon barrel with an excellent bright bore having a spot of very light oxidation about 9” from the muzzle. This is an early 1951 Madison, Tennessee made rifle before Royland Southgate moved operations to Franklin Tenn. sometime in 1953. The barrel is a mix of original brown finish and gunmetal gray at the face of the muzzle, nipple bolster and along the edges. The barrel is decorated with simple star shape engraving around the muzzle, single horizontal lines on either side of the nickel silver blade insert front sight, double matching lines on either side of the V-notch rear sight and the top of the barrel has early small “R. Southgate” signature. The lock is a mottled gray and brown with single line border, simple sunburst under the barrel bolster and matching “R. Southgate” signature centered below the bolster. There is a simple brass nosecap and brass furniture throughout with grooved ramrod thimbles and tailpipe, single faceted triggerguard, two-piece lightly engraved patchbox, faceted buttplate and plain toeplate. The maple stock is nicely adorned with a lightly carver flourish to the rear of the double grooved left side cheekpiece and simple, yet attractive single-line borders along the lower right side of the buttstock and either side of the patchbox. There is a small engraved German silver diamond-shaped escutcheon on either side of the wrist and a slightly more decorative larger diamond inlay on the cheekrest. There is a glue repaired crack at the toe from the lower rear corner of the patchbox to the front of the toeplate and a thin hairline crack through the stock flat in front of the lockplate. The interior of the patchbox is equipped with three rows of small wooden pillars, most likely for securing percussion caps next to a small collection of lubricated linen patches. Equipped with a single trigger, the action remains strong but is void of a half-cock safety and what appears to be an original maple ramrod is included. Royland Southgate was born in 1915 and started making Tennessee Flintlock and percussion rifles and pistols in 1946 and in 1977 while delivering gun #1007 to Slim Pickens at his Wyoming ranch suffered a severe stroke which was the beginning of the end of his rifle making. In the spring of 1979, he suffered a second severe stroke and passed away in June of that year. Included with this rifle are three letters dated 1950-1951 from Mr. Southgate to the original purchaser of this rifle discussing the making of the rifle and tips for shooting. Southgate stated his rifles were made to shoot. His “Tenn. Made Kaintuck” rifles are highly sought after and collected, this rifle is a fine example. (5C11232-12) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
Browning High Power Safari Grade Bolt Action Rifle
Lot # 1367 (Sale Order: 368 of 649)
serial #L8063, 30-06, 22” barrel with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this early production example retain about 99% original blue that is toning to brown with a few light handling marks and some wear around the muzzle. The engraved floorplate and trigger bow retain all of their gold fill and the bolt remains bright and in the white, the underside of the handle is numbered to the receiver. The checkered walnut stock rates near excellent with some small dings and other mild handling marks. The stock is equipped with swivel studs and a has a hard rubber buttplate. The original sights remain intact, including the front sight hood and the receiver is tapped for mounts. A set of Weaver bases is included. According to factory records this rifle was made in 1962 and would be a fine sporting rifle either as-is or coupled with the right set of quality optics. (4A11269-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Lot # 1368 (Sale Order: 369 of 649)
serial #37183S5, 12 ga., 30” ventilated Broadway rib barrels choked improved modified and full with bright excellent bores showing only a few specks of stubborn wad residue. The metal surfaces of this Belgian-made shotgun retain about 90% original blue, the loss primarily to thinning and light wear on the frame through the grasping area, the barrels showing light muzzle wear, fine handling marks, and some light thinning along the bottom barrel; the trigger retains about 75% of its gold finish. The frame is factory embellished with Browning Grade I engraving, showing wedges of foliate scroll, tasteful bordering, floral motifs on the hinge pin, and the belly of the frame engraved “Lightning” above the Browning bust and name. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut stock and forend are in very good plus condition with scattered light handling marks and the stock is fit with a White Line Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad with three black spacers giving a 14 7/8” length of pull, and the pistolgrip cap features a shield shaped monogram plate reading “AD”, the monogram plate surrounded by attractive foliate scroll carving. The factory markings are intact and clear, and the barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up tight and on-face with the lever coming to rest a touch left of center and features a single selective trigger, nonautomatic safety, robust ejectors with the underside barrel ejector missing, inertial hammers, and is sighted with a large Bradley-style white bead front and a smaller white bead at mid rib. The shotgun appears to function well mechanically. (28A11264-50) {C&R} [Mark Dunnavant Collection] (1200/1800)
