Engraved Smith & Wesson No. 1 Third Issue Revolver

Lot # 1325 (Sale Order: 326 of 667)      

serial #76483, 22 RF, 3 3/16” barrel with a bright very good bore showing scattered pitting and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver have toned largely to a dull gray patina, retaining traces of fading original silver finish in the protected areas, showing scattered handling wear and light oxidation staining throughout visible under direct light. The hammer has toned largely to a bright gunmetal patina and retains handsome vestiges of original gold-washed finish on the top and left side and the cylinder stop shows remnants of original fading blue. This revolver has been adorned with handsome Nimschke-style engraving, showing punch-dot backed foliate scroll along the frame and cylinder, with the rear and top straps showing intertwined geometric linework and a familiar sunburst behind the hammer. The flanks of the barrel and ejector rod housing show crosshatching and foliate flourish; barrel markings and engravings remain largely crisp and excellent with the main apology being some softening on the knurls of the barrel release latch. The smooth mother-of-pearl grips remain excellent overall showing only light handling wear and fitting snugly. Timing and lockup appear sound and the gun exhibits no discernible play when at rest. A fine Third Issue which still offers generous glimpses of its former glory. (26B10826-576) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1500/2500)

Smith & Wesson Second Model Ladysmith Revolver

Lot # 1327 (Sale Order: 328 of 667)      

serial #6779, 22 RF, 3” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95-96% original nickel finish showing a few small areas of fine flaking to gray-brown patina scattered about, a few thin scratches and other light handling marks. All markings remain crisp and the hammer and trigger retain nice vibrant case-hardened colors throughout. The ejector rod head shows some generous smoky colors as well and the cylinder release retains strong dark gray oil-quenched case-hardening. The revolver wears a set of smooth factory mother-of-pearl grips with gold S&W medallions remaining in excellent condition exhibiting some slight yellowing along the edges and showing one tiny sliver missing at the top right corner of the right panel. They are un-numbered as is typical and their fit is very fine. The serialized parts are matching and, strangely, the original trigger return spring/rebound lever has been lost to the years and replaced with a rather rudimentary ad-hoc spring arrangement that otherwise seems to be a functional replacement as the action remains functional with timing just a hair off in single action and otherwise good lock-up. A nice example of these popular little Smith & Wesson revolvers. (13B10826-549) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1500/2000)

Engraved Smith & Wesson 38 Double Action Revolver with Box

Lot # 1331 (Sale Order: 332 of 667)      

serial #76922, 38 S&W, 3 1/4” barrel with an about good bore showing some pinprick pitting and light oxidation with strong rifling. This revolver features some rather interesting period engraving with the sides of the frame and cylinder flutes embellished with traditional flowing foliate scrollwork and the remaining surfaces with extensively zigzags and punch-dot foliate motifs reminiscent of the Hopkins & Allen style. The sides of the frame also bear neatly engraved monograms with “HSC” on the left and “APC” on the right. The metal surfaces retain about 95% period nickel finish showing some light handling marks and scattered small flakes toning to gray-brown patina, most of them along the high edges and the cylinder. The triggerguard and latch retain strong original bright blue flaking to mild gray-brown patina and the hammer and trigger show nice case-hardened colors and some light oxidation speckling. All of the embellishments and the factory barrel address and patent dates are intact and strong. The revolver wears a set of smooth mother-of-pearl grips rating very fine left and very good right, the right panel with some light chips along the top edges. The action will require some mechanical attention in single action as the hammer notches are worn though it seems to function normally in double action. The included black paper-covered box remains in fine condition showing some fading and scuffing along the exterior, the end label with some flaked areas but correct for the gun. The base shows numerous faded numbers, many of which were crossed out, and the interior lid label is intact. An interesting example. (13B10826-379) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)

Contemporary Heavy Underhammer Percussion Slug Gun by K.R. Bresien

Lot # 1343 (Sale Order: 344 of 667)      

.377 cal, 30 5/8” extra heavy round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 85% original blue showing some scattered light handling marks and most of the loss due to some areas of lightly cleaned oxidation along the underside back from the muzzle. The barrel is neatly inscribed “K.R. Bresien” and the tang shows some nice tasteful foliate engraving throughout. A set of Fecker rings are present which hold an apparently unmarked vintage-style telescopic sight that shows moderate thinning blue and light handling marks with crosshair reticle and very good somewhat discolored but serviceable optics, appearing to be about 10 power or so. The blackened curly maple stock rates very good plus showing some scattered light dings and a shallow chip at the heel. The stock exhibits lovely grain figure throughout and is carved with a large folky eagle clutching a shield and cross on the left side. The buttplate is checkered steel, there is an additional target base for a front sight and the original false muzzle is included. The rifle features primer ignition and the action will require a little mechanical attention as the hammer will push off and the barrel-to-frame securing pin is missing but these will likely be simple fixes for a competent gunsmith. The rifle also includes the bottom half of a custom hardwood case fitted for the arm and a selection of lead bullets. An interesting heavy slug gun from the well-regarded Ken Bresien. Weight is just shy of 24 lbs. and extra shipping will apply. (13A11821-1) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

British Pattern 1800 Baker Flintlock Rifle

Lot # 1344 (Sale Order: 345 of 667)      

.69 cal, 30 1/4” barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing old pitting and rather strong rifling throughout. The barrel is toning to a mix of gunmetal and plum-brown patina showing an old cleaning with remnants of oxidation and light pitting. The barrel appears to be a replacement as there are evident vise marks around the breech and the touch hole is not quite lined up properly with the lock but it otherwise appears to be an original British military barrel and was updated during the period of use to accept the socket bayonet. The lockplate is mostly a medium gray-brown patina with strong “TOWER” mark at rear, visible “(Crown) / GR” Royal Cypher in center and strong broad arrow proof mark, the top jaw screw is a later replacement but the other parts appear original. The upper tang screw head is broken and both the rear sight and front sight are missing. The brass hardware is a mild ocher patina showing scattered light dings and handling marks. The walnut stock rates very good plus showing small chips by the nose and some thin slivers and splinters along the edges of the forend otherwise with a rather nice honest appearance overall. The left-side cheekpiece retains very fine edges and there are softened but visible inspector stamps along the left flat and a Board of Ordnance stamp ahead of the patch box. The forward sling swivel is missing and an original ramrod is present showing “A / 56” marking. The lock is crisp though the release of the hammer is a bit sticky. A very respectable example of these early British martial rifles. (13A11896-238) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Fine Eaglehead Mounted Infantry Officer’s Saber

Lot # 1348 (Sale Order: 349 of 667)      

31” curved blade with broad fullers. This attractive saber remains in fine condition and is etched with wide foliate motifs and gold gilded foliate flourishes, the obverse with liberty caps and the reverse with stands of arms and a nice somewhat folky etched Federal Eagle with “E. Pluribus Unum” in foliate riband. The blade retains perhaps 70% nice brilliant fire blue terminating in foliate tendrils and mixing with some areas of old oxidation staining. The remaining surfaces of the blade shows generous flashes of their original bright polish with some areas of old light pitting approaching the ricasso and tip. The main edge shows some old nicks and dings to be expected but they are relatively minor. The brass mounts are a pleasant ocher patina showing some scattered old dings and a few areas of verdigris along with a healthy amount of original tarnished silver finish. The characteristic eaglehead pommel remains well defined and handsome while the original reeded ivory grip is in lovely condition displaying a rich patina and nice fit throughout. A correct style original leather scabbard with brass mounts is included though it appears to be for a slightly shorter blade (perhaps 29” or 30”), or some material was lost at the tip long ago. The scabbard is otherwise in fine condition with some overall light flaking and hardening of the leather and the stitched seam mostly intact. The mounts are loose and perhaps show an old light cleaning now toned to a pale goldenrod patina. This is a very handsome antique saber that would make a fine addition to any early American martial sword collection. (13C11968-3) (1000/1500)
