Fine Unmarked European “Le Novo” Style Folding Revolver
Lot # 1380 (Sale Order: 380 of 667)
25 ACP, 1 1/8” barrel with a bright very fine bore showing subtle rifling. These interesting little revolvers were patented by Belgian designer D.D. Oury around 1909 and made by a number of local Liege firms such as Galand. This example however appears to be unmarked beyond a small “4” assembly number and does not even bear the expected Belgian proof marks. It is otherwise a fine little revolver, the barrel and cylinder retaining about 80% original bright blue with some scattered light flaking to gray-brown patina under bright light and some minor oxidation staining. The barrel release lever, trigger and screw heads all retain most of their lovely brilliant fire blue and the frame retains about 95% vibrant case-hardened colors showing a few sparse oxidation speckles. The folding grip with attractive foliate relief retains about 92% original nickel finish showing some light flaking and edge wear to the underlying brass. The action seems to function normally and the gun only measures about 3 5/8” long when the grip is folded in. A lovely little gun. (13B11892-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Soviet Model 91/30 PE Mosin Nagant Bolt Action Sniper Rifle by Tula
Lot # 1391 (Sale Order: 391 of 667)
serial #211, 7.62x54R, 29’’ barrel with a very good bore showing scattered light oxidation but strong rifling throughout. Produced between 1932 and 1938, the Model 1931 sniper rifle was paired with the PE scope, mounted to a dovetailed base via a single piece mount, a technique that was abandoned for the later side mount. The metal surfaces of this 1938-dated rifle retain about 95% arsenal blue with some light wear on high edges and contact points and a few light handling marks. The scope base has toned to a gray-brown patina and no scope is present. The Eurasian hardwood stock is in very good condition with light dings and handling marks, an arsenal repair to the left side of the butt, and moderate flaking of the finish throughout; the stock shows a small inlet presumably for bolt clearance. The stock is marked with a clear “X” behind the triggerguard, a test shooter’s “2” on the heel, and various other small Soviet proofs. The barrel markings remain crisp, showing the correct Cyrillic “SP” sniper designation and a crisp depot refurbishment mark, and the scope base and other numbered parts have been restamped to match; the barrel is import marked. The bent bolt handle appears to be a well done contemporary modification, and the rifle retains the standard open sights. A very nice arsenal refurbished example of the Red Army’s first adopted sniper rifle. (14B11862-67) {C&R} (800/1000)
German P.08 Luger Pistol by DWM
Lot # 1392 (Sale Order: 392 of 667)
German P.08 Luger Pistol by Mauser
Lot # 1393 (Sale Order: 393 of 667)
serial #9250g, 9mm, 4” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1940-dated and byf-coded pistol retain about 85-90% arsenal-quality blue with light to perhaps moderate wear on high edges and contact points, areas of the frame toning to gray and plum under bright light, and some spots of pinprick pitting and minor handling marks. The small parts retain very good hot salt blue with light high edge wear, and the ejector has toned to a thinned plum. The checkered hardwood grips are in very good condition with general light wear and softening of the checkering and a repaired about 1 1/2” crack at the toe of the right panel, the rear of the left panel stamped “0” and the right showing an Imperial German proof, a pair of “W”, and two undiscernible stamps. The metal markings are crisp, the pistol curiously devoid of proofs save for a small “(eagle) / 623” waffenamt on the barrel and firing proof on the breech, and the numbered parts are matching the pistol, including the grooved firing pin. The pistol retains the standard open sights and included is a blue-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing light wear and previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish, the base numbered “6598s” and marked with a “+” and “(eagle) / 63” waffenamt. A fine Luger pistol, perhaps assembled from remaining parts after the end of Mauser Luger production in 1942. (14B11728-897) {C&R} (800/1200)
