Colt Pocket Positive Double Action Revolver

Lot # 1276 (Sale Order: 277 of 667)      

Description Update 03-26-2025: Bore showing a bit more noticeable light pitting.

serial #71356, 32 Colt New Police, 2 1/2” barrel with a very good bore showing scattered light oxidation stains. This lovely 1914-manufactured revolver has been returned to the factory several times for rework and remains in superb condition. The metal surfaces retain about 99% original nickel plate showing scattered very light handling marks, tiny pinprick pitting on the edge of one flute, and slight clouding on the backstrap. The grips are smooth period replacement mother-of-pearl in excellent condition. This little Pocket Positive has a half-moon front sight, fixed rear sight, and it correctly times and locks up. There is a “&” rework mark on the right triggerguard bow, matching rework numbers on the frame, crane, and barrel with additional numbers on the cylinder that don’t match but are poorly stamped and difficult to read. This is a lovely example of a later Pocket Positive. (8A9100-1408) {C&R} [Richard “Stretch” Kennedy Collection] (1000/1500)

German Percussion Fullstock Jaeger Rifle by Funk & Sons

Lot # 1278 (Sale Order: 279 of 667)      

.60 cal, 30” damascus barrel with swamped muzzle and a partially bright good bore showing some light pitting and oxidation in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a medium gray gunmetal patina with mild gray-brown undertones and scattered areas of old oxidation staining. The barrel retains generous twist damascus patterns throughout and shows maker information neatly inlaid in silver “I. VALT. FUNK & SOHNE SUHL”. The breech plug shows dual silver bands as well and is nicely embellished along with the tang and back action lockplate with fine flowing foliate scrollwork throughout. The lockplate is equipped with a hammer rest safety and the barrel is secured with a pair of wedges in German silver escutcheons. The forward ramrod thimble has a wide flange and the tailpipe and other hardware shows nice foliate embellishments, the triggerguard being an old rather rudimentary replacement without any engraving. The patchbox features a foliate column and the cover is engraved with a nice little stag scene. The checkered walnut stock remains in very good plus to near very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and small partially repaired chip at the toe. The stock features a horn nosecap, contrasting rosewood inlay ahead of triggerguard and left-side cheekpiece behind which is a finely carved foliate and stag panel. The front sling swivel is missing, a simple wooden ramrod is present and the rifle is sighted with a simple v-notch rear sight and German silver blade front, the upper tang with a vacant hole for affixing additional period sights. The lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. A very good jaeger rifle from the prolific Funk family. (13B11804-26) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1200/1800)

Unmarked Germanic Percussion Double Fowler with Nice Carved Stock

Lot # 1279 (Sale Order: 280 of 667)      

16 bore, 30 5/8” damascus barrels with moderately oxidized bores showing some scattered partially bright areas. The barrels show antique Belgian proof marks but the gun is obviously of German construction given its other features. The barrels show an old light cleaning with generous older reapplied plum-brown finish with areas toning to gunmetal gray, some scattered partially smoothed-over light pitting and strong damascus twist patterns. The back action lockplates retain some wisps of gray case-hardened patina and features some light foliate embellishments and rather rudimentary hammer block safeties. The walnut stock is the most appealing aspect of this gun featuring a wonderful carved stag’s head behind the lower tang complete with realistic glass eyes along with a carved floral blossom swirling out from behind the rounded left-side cheekpiece. The stock rates very fine showing a little older added varnish and some scattered light dings and handling marks exhibiting some subtle attractive grain figure. The fittings are German silver and in typical form with some light foliate embellishments and the sling swivels and a brass-tipped hickory ramrod are present. The hammers are rather out of time but the locks otherwise seem to function normally. (13B11804-31) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1200/1800)

Unmarked Germanic Percussion Double Fowler

Lot # 1280 (Sale Order: 281 of 667)      

16 bore, 30” fine damascus barrels with mostly bright very good bores showing a few small areas of light pitting and oxidation. The undersides of the barrels show antique Belgian proof marks and are inlaid in gold along the rib “DAMAS ANGLAIS” (English damascus) but the gun is obviously otherwise of German construction. The barrels show a very fine textured swirling damascus pattern throughout toning to a mix of deep gunmetal gray and gray-brown patina with a few scattered light dings and areas of old oxidation. The breech plugs, lockplates and upper tang show remnants of silvery and smoky case-hardened patina and are lightly embellished with Germanic scroll and small scenes at rear of lockplates with stag on right and dog on left. The hammers show nice dolphin heads, the right hammer itself a later-made replacement in the style of the original left. The triggerguard is a similar patina as the locks and shows a traditional jaeger on the bow of the guard, the extended pistolgrip being of horn and in very fine condition, the triggers also retaining a healthy amount of brilliant fire blue. The checkered walnut stock remains in very fine condition retaining most of its original varnish showing some edge wear, scattered light dings and handling marks from honest use. There is a nice rounded left-side cheekpiece with lovely carved foliate motif behind it and the wood exhibits some attractive subtle grain figure. The front sling swivel has detached from the rear thimble and been lost to the years and the original ebony ramrod with German silver/horn tip and worm end is present. The locks feature hammer rest safeties and the hammers appear out of time due to the right replacement though the locks otherwise seems to function normally. A handsome German fowler.

Nice German Lady’s or Child’s Percussion Fowler by J.A. Kuchenreuter

Lot # 1281 (Sale Order: 282 of 667)      

26 bore (.56 cal), 28 1/4” part round part octagon barrel with turned medials at point of transition and a bright very fine bore showing some scattered light oxidation and fine scratch rifling. This is an attractive and diminutive, little halfstock fowler, the barrel retaining about 85% original plum-brown finish that shows some scattered light flaking and handling marks. The breech plug and tang show generous case-hardened colors with makers name “IOHANN ADAM / KUCHENREUTER” deeply impressed and the nipple bolster has a raised thin deflector and platinum blowout plug. The lockplate also retains fine case-hardened colors drifting to a nice silvery patina again showing maker’s name impressed and embellished with light foliate borders. The arm is equipped with dual ramrod thimbles and a blued tailpipe, the barrel wedge escutcheons are of silver and there is also a silver shield with falcon atop the wrist and a silver plate on the left stock flat engraved with a “1”. The checkered walnut stock remains in about very fine condition retaining generous original varnish and showing some scattered light dings, handling marks and a couple thin cracks at the nose. There are a few old nicely executed period repairs to a chip at the toe and point of comb. The stock shows nice figure and some carved foliate motifs atop the wrist and along the back edge of the squared-off left-side cheekpiece. The stock “hardware” is rather interesting, appearing to be a darker contrasting rosewood consisting of the triggerguard (a small portion at the rear of which has been lost to the years) and fancy inlays behind the tailpipe, on the left flat and at the heel. The arm is equipped with wide European swivels, the front sight bead has been lost to the years and what appears to be the original silver-tipped ramrod with worm end is present. The lock seems to function well mechanically with a crisp hammer. A fine little fowler from this respected Bavarian maker. (13C11804-11) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1500/2000)

Lot # 1285 (Sale Order: 286 of 667)      

serial #553231, 12 ga (2 3/4”), 26” chopper lump barrels choked a tight improved cylinder and a loose full with bright very good bores with scattered light pitting in the right and some light dings about halfway in the left. The barrels retain about 95% original blue with light wear at the breeches and muzzles and some scattered minor abrasions and handling marks; the triggerguard retains about half its blue with the edges and the tang toned to a silvery patina, and the forend iron and lever show light high edge and contact point wear.

The checkered straight grip walnut stock is in about very good condition with an about 1 1/8” v-shaped crack at the rear of the upper tang which flexes lightly, otherwise showing only perhaps a minor handling mark or two, and the splinter-style forend is in excellent condition with robust checkering. The stock features drop points, an unengraved oval monogram plate on the toeline, and a 15” length of pull to the rubber buttpad with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 3/4”. The maker mark and touch of scroll engraving on the rib remain 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 just right of center and features double triggers, an automatic safety, robust ejectors, hand-detachable locks, cocking indicators, and is sighted with a lone steel bead.

serial #734, 12 ga (2 3/4”), 26” barrels choked improved cylinder and modified with bright excellent bores. This is an attractive shotgun retailed by B. Jenkinson of New York City and made in Birmingham by G&S Holloway. The barrels retain about 95% original blue showing some mild edge wear and areas of minor thinning taking on a slight plum tone under bright light.

The bottom metal, triggerguard and top lever all retain about 90% original bright blue showing some light flaking and handling marks. The action is embellished with lovely tasteful filigree scrollwork throughout and shows “B. JENKINSON” neatly engraved along both sides and the barrel rib. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend with push button release remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and handling marks, the buttstock with a couple small solvent stains and otherwise strong oil finish. The checkering remains strong with nice mullered borders and there is an un-engraved monogram plate along the toe line. The stock shows slight cast-off and is equipped with a solid red rubber Old English pad with three black spacers providing a 14 1/8” length-of-pull (12 3/4” to the end of the wood).

Interesting Robert Schrader Boxlock Drilling With Patented Stutzen-Length Rifle Barrel

Lot # 1287 (Sale Order: 288 of 667)      

serial #23058, 16 ga (2 1/2”) over 8x57R-360, 28” shotgun barrels choked improved modified and full with mostly bright about very good bores, the right bore showing a small shallow dent about 9” back from the muzzle and the left showing some moderate pitting for a few inches ahead of the chamber. The rifle barrel is 17 3/4” with a mostly bright very good bore showing some fine pitting and oxidation for a couple of inches ahead of the chamber and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This is an interesting drilling that shows May 1942 proof date, no doubt representing a later reproof, and equipped with short rifle barrel and Schrader’s patented safety lock cocking lever beneath the triggerguard. The barrels retain about 90% of a period restored rust blue showing some scattered areas thinning to gray-brown patina, light dings and some fine pinprick pitting beneath the blue in some areas. The arm was obviously used during the period after this refinish (likely done around the time of the 1942 proof) as there is finish loss along the underside of the shotgun barrel from the rifle blast. The rifle barrel is neatly engraved with “DRGM” patent mark behind the muzzle and also marked “254A M.SCHMIDT Z-M” on the underside beneath the forend. The action shows nice dark matte gray case-hardening throughout along with some sparse minor speckling and the lever with some vibrant colors. The action is tastefully embellished with light filigree foliate scrollwork and simple bordering, the top of action with fine stippled matting. The horn lever tip shows a few insect bites while the horn tang is near excellent. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition retaining strong original finish with the expected scattered light dings and handling marks along with a thin 1/2” crack right of the upper tang that is missed at first glance. The checkering remains mostly strong and stock fit remains very nice with well-defined left-side cheekpiece. Features European sling swivels and a somewhat dried-out and flattened solid red rubber pad that currently measures a length-of-pull of about 14 1/8”. The barrels are fitted with a set of German claw mount bases, the front obscuring some of the original maker’s markings, and are sighted with a pair of flip-up rifle sights and silver bead front. Barrel lock-up is solid showing a faint sliver of light between breech and standing breech and the action with front rifle set trigger and upper selector lever seems to function well mechanically. The lever is pushed forward to open the action, pulled back to cock the strikers and on safe when resting in the middle position. Weight is 6 lbs. 9 oz. and the short rifle barrel contributes to lightening the muzzle end for quick pointing. (13C11108-54) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)

Attractive American Fullstock Flintlock Sporting Rifle with Fine Inlays

Lot # 1290 (Sale Order: 291 of 667)      

.32 cal, 40” octagon barrel with an oxidized bore. This nice rifle has been neatly reconverted to flint utilizing antique components, the barrel with what appears to be an old blackened finish over old oxidation and light pitting. The top barrel flat is stamped with maker mark but it is sadly no longer legible, only showing “D.”, the surname appearing to be five letters. The lockplate is a similar patina as the barrels and shows step at rear and some light embellishments. The fittings of this rifle are quite attractive, the barrels secured by three wedges which are rather plain without escutcheons but interspersed between them are four lovely silver inlays. There are additional small silver shields and embellished ovals inlaid along the sides of the buttstock while the left-side scant cheekpiece has a beautiful pierced starburst motif in silver. Brass hardware includes the heavy nosecap, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, thin triggerguard with small rear spur, attractive solid sideplate with slightly beveled edges, crescent buttplate, toe plate and a very nice large pierced patchbox with light foliate embellishments, bordering and starburst on cover. The curly maple stock remains in very fine condition showing a few scattered thin drying cracks mostly along the forend edges and a thin chip missing left of the upper tang. The wood exhibits some nice tiger stripe grain figure throughout and the sides of the butt show some carved light foliate motifs. Stock fit to the hardware remains quite nice throughout and a slightly long simple hickory ramrod is present. The rifle is sighted with a simple fine v-notch rear sight and silver blade front and the lock is equipped with a rear curved set trigger and straight firing trigger. The lock is single acting and is a bit stiff and not very crisp but generally seems to function normally. This is a lovely rifle likely made in Pennsylvania or Ohio with some particularly attractive furniture. (13B11579-40) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

The barrel and magazine tube o...moref this 1900-manufactured carbine have an even mix of gray-brown patina with scattered oxidation staining and generous original blue in the protected areas. The action has toned to a mix of gray-brown patina while the lever shows some high edge wear and speckled oxidation throughout. The plain walnut stocks show signs of handling marks, a thin crack on the right side near the upper tang, and an older added finish otherwise showing nice grain. The carbine is sighted with a standard graduated carbine rear sight and a plain brass blade front sight. An honest example of a model 1894 carbine in an appealing chambering.

Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 1297 (Sale Order: 298 of 667)      

serial #258508, 38 WCF, 24” octagon barrel with full magazine and a bright very good bore with light pitting and strong rifling. The barrel of this 1904-manufactured rifle retains about 85% original blue mixing with a nice brown patina broken up by silvery high edge wear while the magazine tube retains about 97% original blue with very light oxidation speckling. The action retains perhaps 60% original blue with the balance toned to a gray-brown patina with light handling marks and silvery high edge wear while the lever and hammer retain some good case-hardened color in the protected areas. There is a 1 1/2” thin scratch on the right side of the action that is relatively unobtrusive and the loading gate retains nice fire blue. The plain walnut stocks are very fine with light handling marks and an otherwise nice fit and raised grain. The rifle is sighted with a standard semi-buckhorn sporting-style rear sight and a Marbles’ #3 front sight with a missing bead. A nice honest model 1892 rifle.

Rare Winchester Special Order Model 1892 Short Rifle

Lot # 1298 (Sale Order: 299 of 667)      

serial #61062, 38 WCF, 20” octagon barrel with full magazine and a bright good bore with scattered light pitting but strong rifling throughout. This 1896-manufactured rifle is in an unusual configuration with its 20” octagon barrel, rifle forend, saddle ring, and carbine butt. The barrel and magazine tube are mostly a pleasant gray-brown patina with scattered light oxidation staining, silvery high edge wear, and hints of original blue in the protected areas. The action has flaked to a gunmetal gray with very light pitting that has been smoothed over the years, especially along the left side of the receiver. The lower tang screws show moderate slot damage. The lever and hammer retain remnants of silvery case-hardened patina and all of the proper markings remain crisp. The plain walnut stocks rate very good as lightly cleaned and refinished long ago, the edges a bit shy in some areas, and show scattered light dings. The rifle is sighted with a standard semi-buckhorn sporting-style rear sight and a factory Winchester fixed blade front sight. The included photocopy of the factory letter indicates it shipped as described with all features listed on July 9, 1896, one day after it was received in the warehouse. An honest example of a very desirable model 1892 short rifle with nice character that probably saw use out west. (24B11523-49) {ANTIQUE} [Jim Thrash Collection] (3000/5000)

Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Takedown Rifle

Lot # 1299 (Sale Order: 300 of 667)      

serial #754985, 38-55, 26” octagon barrel with full magazine and a bright near excellent relined bore. The barrel and action of this 1915-made rifle retain about 92% nice quality older reapplied rust blue showing some scattered light handling marks and areas thinning to a mild gray patina under bright light. The magazine tube, nosecap and crescent buttplate retain about 95% reapplied polished blue with some light handling marks. The original factory markings remain mostly intact and strong, a few areas exhibiting some mild softening, while the cartridge marking on the left barrel flat has been restamped and there are flourishes of added, somewhat amateurishly executed foliate scrollwork along the barrel shank as well. The takedown lever has been shortened and the hammer and lever are mostly a smoky gray patina showing some scattered oxidation staining. The plain walnut stocks remain in about very good condition as cleaned and refinished showing scattered light dings and some of the edges a little but shy of the metal. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits a little play and the rifle is sighted with a replacement buckhorn rear sight and silver bead on blade front. (13A11523-59) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (1000/1500)
