Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver

Lot # 1356 (Sale Order: 357 of 667)      

serial #100219, 44 cal., 8” round barrel with a fair to good bore showing some moderate pitting but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1863-manufactured revolver have toned to a medium gray patina showing spots of darker gray-brown, dings around the wedge, and some scattered small areas of pinprick pitting. The New York barrel address and “COLTS PATENT” on the frame have softened slightly but are entirely legible and the various sub-inspector marks remain clear. Most of the screw heads show moderate slot wear and cylinder scene is quite soft but still retains strong areas. The frame and iron backstrap have shoulder stock cutouts and the brass triggerguard strap is a pleasant pale goldenrod patina. The smooth one-piece walnut grip is ink-numbered to the gun and remains in good to very good condition showing worn finish, moderate dings, and handling marks although it still has faint cartouches on either side. The tip of the wedge spring has broken off and the barrel-to-frame fit shows some play, all the serialized parts including the wedge are matching, and the action is a little loose but functional. It includes a custom hardwood presentation case with six red felt lined compartments. Also included are a single unmarked powder flask with dog and bird scene, (17) .454 swaged lead round balls, and a Dixie Gun Works packet of six paper cartridges. The case rates excellent on the interior, the exterior rates very good with light handling marks on the cover. A factory letter is provided indicating this gun shipped as described to the United States Government, New York Arsenal, Governor’s Island, New York, on March 5, 1863 in a 1,000 gun shipment. An honest 1860 Army that appears to have seen extensive service. (8A11897-67) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Published East German Reworked Walther ac41 P.38 Pistol

Lot # 1358 (Sale Order: 359 of 667)      

serial #7851d, 9mm, 5” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a nice example of a rather scarce East German rework designated as the “Type E” variant by P.38 scholar Warren Buxton and was previously part of his collection, being pictured on page 36 of his book The P.38 Pistol Vol. 3. This variant is characterized by the use of old frame and slides and first lot of barrels produced by East Germany. The slide and frame retain about 90% arsenal-refurbished blue showing some scattered high edge wear, light handling marks and some fine pinprick pits beneath the finish. The barrel retains about 97% original blue and the pistol bears an assortment of markings such as East German “(Crown) / N” proofs, later eagle and (Crown) / U” stamped over the Reichsadler firing proof on the frame, “25” within a shield and starburst East German mark on the triggerguard and the original World War Two era proofs along the right side of the slide are intact and unmolested. The frame serial number has been restamped by the East German arsenal and the barrel shows the distinctive tapered step of this variant. The left grip panel is a later black plastic variant while the right is a World War Two era dark brown phenolic resin both in very fine condition with some scattered light handling marks. One jvd-coded magazine is included and the serialized parts are matching as East German arsenal-numbered. A fine example of a rather obscure variant.

The metal surfaces retain fine strong factory embellishments of wide detailed flowing foliate scrollwork, light punch-dot shading, simple line bordering, starburst at muzzle and checkered panel along backstrap. The hammer screw appears to be an old period replacement, the original base pin is intact and the mainspring is a bit weak but the action otherwise seems to function normally with correct timing and lock-up.

Scarce Rouchouse Reform Palm Pistol

Lot # 1374 (Sale Order: 374 of 667)      

serial #2294, 8mm CF, 3 3/8” barrel with a bright very fine bore showing a little mild oxidation and frosting with otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The barrel retains about 70% original bright blue showing some scattered flaking to mild gray-brown patina and light handling marks. The frame retains perhaps 40% original nickel finish in the protected areas with the balance toning to a pleasant smooth gunmetal gray patina showing just a few pinprick pits and minor oxidation speckles. The frame shows light etched geometric motifs and there is an additional number “228” stamped along the top right edge. The bottom of the frame bears a French patent mark that has softened slightly along with a larger block letter stamped marking that is difficult to discern as the letters were poorly struck. The design of this squeeze bar pistol is a development of Rouchouse’s “Le Merveilleux” pistol with its distinctive sprung ejector/interrupter bar on the right side but the magazine follower system is a little different on this, being equipped with a small lanyard ring and the frame layout simplified a bit. The action seems to function well mechanically. A fine example of these interesting and rather desirable little pistols. (13B11777-11) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

The metal surfaces are adorned with fine factory foliate scroll, geometric and game scene engraving. The locks feature bird dogs on point with foliate scroll around the borders, lever and shields, the belly of the action has a mix of geometric patterns with a grouse on the triggerguard. The checkered deluxe grade English walnut pistolgrip and splinter-style forend with ebony insert rate excellent, showing attractive grain figure throughout with a few light handling marks under an added thin layer of oil. Length of pull from the decorative pattern hard rubber buttplate is 14” with drops of 1 3/4” and 2 7/8”. The shotgun locks up tight and on face and features a single ivory bead front sight, dual triggers, automatic safety, and cocking indicators. The action seems to function well mechanically with strong ejection. A handsome three-digit Hunter Arms manufactured gun that when production stopped in 1898, so did the Syracuse style influence. (10C11862-60) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)
