German LP.08 Artillery Luger Pistol by DWM

Lot # 63 (Sale Order: 63 of 636)      

serial #1823, 9mm, 8'' barrel with a good bore showing light oxidation and pinprick pitting its full-length and otherwise strong rifling. The metal surfaces of this 1918-dated pistol are a relatively even mix of original fading blue and gray-brown patina with the strongest blue along the barrel and toggle. There are areas of moderate pitting throughout the left side frame and receiver that have been partially cleaned and buffed leaving some areas smoothed-over. Most of the markings are intact and strong, the first digit of the year stamp and the serial numbers on the receiver, sideplate and safety having been lost to the cleaned pitting. The checkered beech grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in good condition showing moderate wear, some darkened areas and both exhibit some play. The takedown lever is a more modern un-numbered replacement with strong blue and the remaining visibly numbered parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin. The pistol includes one original bright-bodied wood base magazine numbered ''571 +'' showing a shallow dent and some oxidation along the body. The rear sight slider is a bit loose and the action otherwise seems to function normally. A somewhat salty artillery Luger with a lot of character. (13B11608-304) {C&R} [N.R.A.

The smooth walnut buttstock and checkered forend remain in about very good plus condition showing an added varnish that is starting to craze overall, some scattered light dings and handling marks. The hard rubber grip is fading to a pale brown as is typical and shows some moderate smoothing but is otherwise intact and the original hard rubber buttplate is present as well showing a thin 3/4'' chip at the toe that has been replaced with a piece of horn. The action seems to function well mechanically. A rather nice example of the interesting Burgess shotgun. (13A11608-128) {ANTIQUE} [N.R.A. Firearms For Freedom] (1000/1500)

Winchester Model 1890 Deluxe Slide Action Rifle

Lot # 67 (Sale Order: 67 of 636)      

serial #270103, 22 LR, 24'' octagon barrel with a fair bore showing moderate oxidation and old pitting its full-length and evident rifling. The barrel of this 1905-made rifle is marked ''22 Short'' though the chamber and relevant components have been updated to 22 LR at some point, apparently not by the factory as the rifle still does not bear Winchester ''WP'' factory proofs that would appear later in 1905. The barrel and magazine tube retain about 85% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light with scattered light scratches, freckling and some fading to mild gray-brown patina. The action retains about 60% original bright blue with even fading overall to a mild gray-brown patina, light handling marks and a few pinprick pits here and there. The hammer retains some strong case-hardened colors, the crescent buttplate is a nice smoky gray with a few spots of old oxidation and all markings remain intact and strong. The checkered capped pistolgrip deluxe walnut buttstock and grooved forend remain in very fine condition maintaining an attractive honest appearance overall and retaining a healthy amount of original varnish showing some darkening along the grip, scattered light dings and handling marks. Stock fit remains excellent, the original hard rubber pistolgrip rates near excellent and the wood exhibits some lovely shimmering feathercrotch grain figure along the sides of the butt. The inside left lower tang shows assembly number ''621 XX'' and the stock is matching with ''90 / 621'' stamped on the end grain and the inside toe of the buttplate with ''621''. The rifle is sighted with period Lyman tang peep sight, original factory sporting rear and a Lyman No. 5 combination front sight. A very fine deluxe 1890. (13C11608-2) {C&R} [N.R.A. Firearms For Freedom] (2500/3500)

Excellent Custom Engraved Colt Bisley Model Single Action Army Revolver by Mark Swanson

Lot # 68 (Sale Order: 68 of 636)      

serial #299327, 38 WCF, 5 1/2'' barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing light to moderate old pitting its full-length and generally good rifling. Originally made in 1907, this Bisley has undergone a wonderful restoration with embellishments by master engraver Mark Swanson. The revolver features wonderful crisp flowing foliate scrollwork throughout that shows lovely attention to detail with fine lines and punch-dot background shading. There are additional fine zigzags and geometric motifs and the work is signed by Swanson and dated 2016 on the frame beneath the triggerguard. The metal surfaces retain about 98% excellent quality restored polished blue and vibrant case-hardened colors showing a few light handling marks and some hints of minor oxidation in some of the crevices. The chambers and breech face show a bit of light pitting beneath the restored finish but this is of course unobtrusive when the arm is assembled. The trigger, base pin and screw heads feature a rich fire blue and the principal markings remain intact and strong. The custom checkered walnut grips are in the factory fleur-de-lis style though without medallions and remain in excellent condition exhibiting some subtle attractive grain figure. The backstrap and triggerguard are matching the frame, the hammer notches are crisp and the action is functional with good timing and lock-up exhibiting slight play. A superb revolver from a talented and well-respected engraver. (13D11615-10) {C&R} [N.R.A. Firearms For Freedom] (4000/6000)
