Winchester Model 52B Target Bolt Action Rifle

Lot # 1476 (Sale Order: 476 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,000
serial #74225B, 22 LR, 28” heavy barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 97% blue with areas of light oxidation and silvering mostly around the muzzle.

This rifle features a Canjar trigger and is mounted with an excellent Lyman Super Targetspot 25X scope retaining 99% plus original blue, glass is clear with screw-on lens caps. A set of three target blocks are mounted to the barrel and receiver ring, with what appears to be a vacant Marble’s Goss dovetail base mounted on the left side of the receiver.

Unmarked Germanic Flintlock Horse Pistol

Unmarked Germanic Flintlock Horse Pistol

Lot # 1478 (Sale Order: 478 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.60 cal, 13 1/2” part round part octagon barrel with turned medial at point of transition and slightly swamped muzzle, the bore moderately oxidized. Though not maker-marked this pistol is very Germanic in style and was reconverted to flint long ago, appearing to utilize the original lockplate and antique components that certainly look the part. The metal surfaces show an old cleaning with remnants of light pitting and oxidation staining, a few pits along the wood line of the barrel and touch hole area more moderate. There are some light foliate embellishments along the barrel and lock, the lock fitted with a cock of rather fancy construction and unbridled frizzen, the left barrel flat also showing a small crown over a six-pointed star touch mark. The remaining hardware is of iron featuring a curlicue trigger, foliate triggerguard finial, heavy dual-strapped butt cap, monogram plate atop wrist and a very nice pierced sideplate with dragons, foliate motifs and a face behind the rear lock screw. The walnut stock remains in about good condition, the forward 7” of the forend showing a failed repair and is now loose along with some other thin missing slivers and old repairs here and there. The raised edges around the hardware otherwise remains well-defined and there is a simple hickory ramrod present. The pistol is sighted with a scant brass blade and the lock seems to function well mechanically. A very good early European flintlock pistol. (13B11579-8) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Fine Early Westley Richards Bar-In-Wood Pinfire Double Hammergun

Fine Early Westley Richards Bar-In-Wood Pinfire Double Hammergun

Lot # 1480 (Sale Order: 480 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
serial #A3482, 10 ga Pinfire, 30” damascus barrels with bright very fine to near excellent bores showing a little sparsely scattered pinprick pitting and mild oxidation speckling. The barrels of this attractive early gun retain about 92-94% original plum-brown finish showing some scattered tiny dings and sparse old oxidation speckling. The barrels show subtle attractive damascus patterns throughout and the barrel rib retains strong 1865 patent date and Westley Richards 170 New Bond Street London address. The lockplates retain generous silvery and smoky case-hardening throughout, the right plate with some wisps of strong colors, both are neatly maker-marked and embellished with excellent quality tasteful English scrollwork. The hammers show fine dolphin heads, the triggerguard has mostly toned to a medium gray-brown patina and the familiar 1864 patent Westley Richards top lever retains some streaks of original bright blue. The checkered walnut buttstock and forend remain in very fine condition having darkened somewhat from the years with slightly worn oil finish and some scattered light dings. There are a few thin drying cracks along the edges of the forend and ahead of the triggerguard but they are very minor, the checkering shows mild honest wear and stock fit is excellent. The silver monogram plate along the toe line is un-engraved, the forend wedge escutcheons are also of silver and the forend featured double-lipped horn tip. The barrels lock-up solid on-face and the right hammer drags a bit on the top edge of the bolster but the locks otherwise function crisply and the hammers are in-time. A fine example of an early Westley Richards cartridge gun, the pinfire system not being utilized very long by the company. (13B11621-77) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

German Boxlock Double Ejectorgun by Heinrich Leue

German Boxlock Double Ejectorgun by Heinrich Leue

Lot # 1481 (Sale Order: 481 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200

serial #1432, 12 ga (2 1/2”), 28” chopper lump barrels choked improved cylinder in both with bright very fine bores showing some sparsely scattered spots of pinprick pitting. The barrels of this fine quality German double retain about 92% of an older good quality re-blacking showing some scattered thin scratches along the undersides and some areas of slight discoloration under bright light. There is a pair of small filler screws on the underside rib where sling swivel hardware was removed and the top rib retains good maker markings “H. LEUE HOFLIEFERANT WAFFENFABRIK BERLIN” along with an engraved “1” at the rear. The undersides show a very small Thad Scott import mark. The action has mostly toned to a pleasant silvery gray case-hardened patina and features nicely raised and sculpted flats with embellishments in full coverage consisting primarily of tight filigree scrollwork along with a few smaller rose and oak leaf motifs. The bottom metal and triggerguard show fading rust blue with bottom metal marked “LEUE’S PATENT / No. 174828” which covers the combination rear under-bite and top bite barrel locking system. The top lever shows a gold inlaid coronet over “TC” monogram. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend with Anson-style button release remain in about very good plus condition as lightly cleaned showing scattered light dings, handling marks and rather worn checkering. There is a small, filled hole along the toe line where a sling swivel once was and the stock has rather nice little heart-shaped arrow inlays of horn behind the flats and exhibits some subtle attractive grain figure. Length-of-pull to the grooved horn buttplate is 14 3/8” with drops of 1 1/2” and 2”, the stock with slight cast-off. Weight is 6 lbs. 14 oz., the action features sideclips and the barrels lock-up solid on-face though the action will require mechanical attention as the triggers are stuck and do not fire the gun and, probably related to this, the safety is stuck in the off position. Heinrich Leue acted as W.W. Greener’s associate in Germany and this appears to be a high quality gun worthy of getting running again. (13C11621-116) {C&R} (800/1200)

New York Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by Reynolds

New York Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by Reynolds

Lot # 1482 (Sale Order: 482 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.40 cal, 34 1/2” octagon barrel with a very good mostly bright bore showing some scattered old light oxidation and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel is a dull pewter and brown patina with scattered light oxidation staining and some scattered pitting along its front half and around the nipple bolster. There is a scant German silver front sight and nice a buckhorn rear with the top barrel flat neatly engraved “F Reynolds N York”, a bit softened from the years. The breech and tang show some light engraving, the breech with two inlaid brass bands. The back action lock shows light game scene engraving and there is loose scroll on the hammer; the front portion of the hammer skirt has chipped away from the years. The walnut stock rates very good showing an old light cleaning with some added finish, a few old repaired cracks, a crack at the left side of the breech to the lock screw escutcheon and a repaired chip beneath the bolster which was neatly done. Fittings include German silver forend tip, tailpipe and oval wedge escutcheons. The German silver single spur triggerguard shows some nice engraving on the bow and extensions and there is a chiseled toe plate nicely engraved as well. The pendulum style German silver patchbox show some very nice engraving with a folky deer, the sideplate is lightly engraved and there are three engraved star inlays, two along the left side of the stock and one atop the wrist. The squared-off left-side cheekpiece has a very nice American Eagle inlay which is neatly engraved. The back action lock is dual acting and has no half-cock rest, the stock has shrunken a bit over the years and there is a gap along its lower leading edge. There is an antique ramrod included which is likely a replacement from the period of use. Francis Reynolds was active in New York City from about 1839-1867. The engraving and style of work very closely matches a cartridge arm made by Reynolds pictured in The New York State Firearms Trade by Swinney-Lewis-Blackburn. A quality New York rifle that has seen some honest use but retains a fine bore. (13B11804-13) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (800/1200)

German System Pachmayr Zimmerstutzen

German System Pachmayr Zimmerstutzen

Lot # 1483 (Sale Order: 483 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200

4mm, 27 1/2” octagon “barrel”, 7” true barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a rather nice zimmerstutzen in classic schuetzen rifle form and Martini-style “action”. The barrel retains about 80-85% original blue that is fading to mild gray-brown patina under bright light along with some scattered oxidation speckling. The top flat shows “E. PACHMAYR / TRAUNSTEIN” markings and the action retains about 85% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors, the loss due to a bit of old oxidation scattered throughout that is a deep plum-brown patina. The receiver ring shows nice crosshatching and the buttplate retains some smoky remnants of case-hardened colors as well. The walnut stock and schnabel forend remain in very fine condition showing a few thin drying cracks scattered about and the expected light dings and handling marks. Stock features checkering along the left side of the wrist with a rather nice decorative checkered panel along the right side, generous rams horn comb with left-side swooping concave cheekpiece and a thumb rest on the right side. A German silver plate on the left side of the buttstock is neatly engraved “Schieß-Abtg. / Kadenach / Koblenz”. This is a rather interesting marking indicating the Shooting Department/Division of the Kadenach of the city of Koblenz. The Kadenach was a German interwar camaraderie organization for former intelligence and telegraph troops who served in the Great War. The rifle is sighted with its original adjustable tang sight with wide aperture and protected front sight with three selectable posts. The double set triggers seem to function well and the lever serves to cock the striker and automatically flip open the zimmerstutzen breech mechanism after firing. An attractive Pachmayr rifle and nice example of the classic German gallery/parlor rifle. (13B11108-42) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (800/1200)

Experimental British Pattern 1856 Percussion Short Rifle by A. Francotte

Experimental British Pattern 1856 Percussion Short Rifle by A. Francotte

Lot # 1484 (Sale Order: 484 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.50 cal., 33” barrel with five-groove rifling and a bright about very good plus bore showing light pitting throughout the strong rifling. This Liege-made rifle, according to the included note from the consignor, respected Civil War collector David Warne, is a rare experimental gun made when the British were considering replacing the .577 cal. The barrel, bands, triggerguard, and buttplate have aged to a mottled mix of light and dark gray patina with overall spots of old light oxidation and light pitting with the pitting perhaps more light-moderate around the breech and bolster. The lockplate is toning to a pewter-gray case-hardened patina with speckles of fine pinprick pitting and is clearly stamped “A. Francotte / A Liege.” There are a few Belgian proofs on the left side of the breech and on the barrel tang, and inspection marks on the small parts. The walnut stock rates fine with a coat of added finish, and the buttstock has been cleaned with the left side of the buttstock lightly reprofiled. There is an unobtrusive rectangular wood repair on the toe line and multiple small nail stabilized cracks on the right side of the buttstock which are also unobtrusive. There is a moderate 1 1/4” scratch on the left side of the buttstock, some wear behind the triggerguard tang, and a few other minor handling marks. There are softened “AF” in oval inspection marks on the left stock flat and the top of the wrist, and the remnant of an inspection mark on the heel. The front sight is a dovetailed German silver blade, the rear sight, ramrod, bayonet bar, and sling swivels are intact, the nipple is a later replacement, and the action is strong and crisp. An interesting and very respectable example in an unusual caliber. (23B10575-63) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
serial #21089, 12 ga (2 1/2”), 29 3/4” damascus barrels choked modified and full with mostly bright very good bores showing some scattered areas of light pitting. The handsome shotgun was made somewhere between 1890-1897, likely around 1892, and the barrels retain generous plum-brown finish throughout with areas toning to pewter gunmetal patina mostly along the sides nearer the breeches also showing some scattered light handling marks and small spots of old oxidation. The barrels show lovely swirling damascus patterns throughout and the solid matted rib is maker-marked by Husqvarna. The action and back action lockplates retain about 50-60% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors with the balance toning to a pleasant silvery and smoky patina. The triggerguard has mostly toned to silvery case-hardened patina and the top lever retains about 80% original bright blue. The action and lockplates are tastefully embellished with fine quality detailed foliate scrollwork throughout. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition as lightly and carefully cleaned showing a nice oil finish with a few lightly chipped points and minor dings. The sides of the buttstock show some rather nice grain figure and length-of-pull to the black checkered hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/8”. The shotgun is equipped with sling swivels and brass bead front sight and barrel lock-up is by dual under-bites exhibiting a hint of side-to-side play that is relatively minor, the top lever resting about center and the barrels otherwise on-face. The locks with rebounding hammers seem to function well mechanically. This is a very attractive and well above-average example of these quality Swedish doubles. (13B11604-7) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)
serial #21089, 12 ga (2 1/2”), 29 3/4” damascus barrels choked modified and full with mostly bright very good bores showing some scattered areas of light pitting. The han...moredsome shotgun was made somewhere between 1890-1897, likely around 1892, and the barrels retain generous plum-brown finish throughout with areas toning to pewter gunmetal patina mostly along the sides nearer the breeches also showing some scattered light handling marks and small spots of old oxidation. The barrels show lovely swirling damascus patterns throughout and the solid matted rib is maker-marked by Husqvarna. The action and back action lockplates retain about 50-60% lovely vibrant case-hardened colors with the balance toning to a pleasant silvery and smoky patina. The triggerguard has mostly toned to silvery case-hardened patina and the top lever retains about 80% original bright blue. The action and lockplates are tastefully embellished with fine quality detailed foliate scrollwork throughout. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition as lightly and carefully cleaned showing a nice oil finish with a few lightly chipped points and minor dings.

British Percussion Target Pistol by William Chance & Son

Lot # 1487 (Sale Order: 487 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.64 cal, 10” octagon barrel with a very good smooth bore showing some scattered light pitting. The barrel retains generous antique plum-brown finish with contrasting damascus twist patterns, a few scattered pinprick pits and some old small dings. The top flat is very lightly engraved in small lettering “CHANCE & SON MAKERS LONDON” while the underside shows period Birmingham proof marks. The breech plug has mostly toned to pewter and features dual platinum band inlays and a platinum blowout plug. The lockplate and remaining fittings are a similar pewter gunmetal patina showing remnants of cleaned pinprick pitting and light oxidation staining. The lockplate is embellished in near full coverage with fine quality English scrollwork that remains mostly intact, dolphin head hammer and maker mark in center. The barrel wedge escutcheons and oval monogram plate atop the wrist are of silver and the checkered walnut stock with horn tip remains in about very good condition showing a number of old repaired cracks and light chips under an added varnish. The diamond checkered grip appears to have been refreshed, the grip shape is rather peculiar, and the stock was perhaps modified at some point during the period of use. What appears to be the original brass-tipped hickory ramrod is present and the pistol is equipped with v-notch rear sight, medium silver bead front sight and sliding safety. The lock with set trigger seems to function normally. (13B11579-4) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Early U.S. Model 1903 Bolt Action Rifle by Springfield Armory

Early U.S. Model 1903 Bolt Action Rifle by Springfield Armory

Lot # 1490 (Sale Order: 490 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 3,000
serial #162379, 30-06, 24” SA barrel dated 1905 with a bright very good bore showing slightly frosted grooves and strong rifling. This early 1906 produced rifle retains the original barrel that has been arsenal rechambered from 30-03 to 30-06. The metal surfaces display the proper mix of oil quenched and rust blued finishes in very fine condition. The receiver retains about 50% oil-quenched case-hardening toning to brown under light, the bolt sleeve showing spots of oxidation loss, with the ejector and barrel band retaining almost all of the nitre blue finish. The rifle displays early production features, the bolt marked “I 8” on the lug, the handle marked “L” with punch mark, the rear sight graduated to 2400 yards with volley notch. The early straight grip finger groove Type I stock features excellent wood to metal fit yet curiously displays no inspection initials, however a crisp script circle “P” with “4” remains on the base of the wrist with crisp finger groove edges. The rifle retains the early concave handguard with no clearance cut or handguard clips, the handguard with a neatly repaired 8” crack along the top, back from the front band. The stock shows a 6” non-flexing grain crack on the right side of the buttstock, an area of oxidation leaching below the wrist with several shallow impact marks on the right side of the stock tip. The stock otherwise maintains a very fine appearance with nice oil finish and raised grain. As with any low numbered M1903, no thought should be given to loading or firing this rifle. A fine example of an early production M1903 displaying correct components for the military enthusiast or collector. (25B11730-1378) {C&R} [Peter DeRose Collection} (2000/3000)

Lot # 1494 (Sale Order: 494 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.52 cal, 11” barrel with an oxidized bore showing evident rifling, the front sight having been set back and now intruding into the bore. This is an unusual period modification to the breechloading Hall rifle into a large pistol or “buggy gun”. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a lightly oxidized plum-brown patina showing some scattered old pinprick pitting. The action shows light punch dot decoration and markings in relief that appear to be “FRA” on top of breechblock and “MI 16 34” on the left side frame. The stock shows even more folky inlays that are really endearing consisting of extensive German silver, copper and silver wire depicting houses, people, geometric motifs, arrows, teepees, Native Americans and tall ships. The name “PAUL JONES” is inlaid along the right side and the left side of the forend shows a small inlay appearing to depict the gun itself next to “M. 1634”. The inlays show honest age and patina consistent with the balance of the piece. The walnut stock rates very good showing some scattered light dings and a moderate 2” crack and chip forming along the underside behind the rear band that appears to have been partially repaired long ago. The butt of the grip has been neatly reinforced with dual iron straps and overall length is about 22 5/8”. A simple iron ramrod is present and the lock seems to function normally. An interesting and attractive piece of firearm folk art. (13B11896-218) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.54 cal, 3 1/2” six-barrel cluster with good bores that show some moderate oxidation and old pitting. This is an unusually large example of the classic bar hammer pepperbox, the barrels, hammer and triggerguard mostly toned to a mottled deep gray patina showing some remnants of partially smoothed-over cleaned light pitting and one of the barrels and ribs with an area of light to perhaps moderate dings. The arm shows period Birmingham proof marks and the German silver frame remains in very fine condition showing some light handling marks and nice flowing foliate scrollwork embellishments. The original sideplate on the left side was apparently lost at some point and has been replaced with a rather nicely fitted aluminum plate. With a little more work this piece could no doubt be made to look better and match the gun nicely. The smooth walnut grips remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and handling marks, the left panel with some rather nice grain figure. One of the nipples is broken and the action otherwise seems to function normally. A nice gun for the collector of arms curiosa. (13B11896-166) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

serial #15482R, 54 bore (.442 cal), 6” octagon barrel with a partially bright about very good bore showing some scattered areas of light pitting and oxidation with generally strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain perhaps 40% original bright blue flaking to deep gray-brown patina under bright light and showing scattered old oxidation and some light scuff marks along the topstrap. The cylinder is mostly a deep gray patina showing some scattered minor pitting and hints of smoky gray case-hardened patina while the protected back surface of the Rigby patent loading lever retains a healthy amount of brilliant fire blue. All markings remain intact and strong showing proper period London proof marks and London Bridge address, and the inside of the triggerguard shows number “1775*”. The hammer appears to have been originally made spurless though shows some other damage as the right edge along the top is chipped off and the nose has broken off long ago as well and the base pin retainer screw is an old replacement. The checkered walnut grip remains in about very good plus condition with scattered lightly chipped points and dings. The cylinder is matching the frame, the hammer block safety is intact and the action generally seems to function well mechanically with good timing and lock-up, the trigger needing some manual reset assistance every now and then. A very good example of these fine quality British revolvers that proved popular during the Civil War. (13B11896-227) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

All markings remain intact and strong showing proper period London proof marks and London Bridge address, and the inside of the triggerguard shows number “1775*”. The hammer appears to have been originally made spurless though shows some other damage as the right edge along the top is chipped off and the nose has broken off long ago as well and the base pin retainer screw is an old replacement. The checkered walnut grip remains in about very good plus condition with scattered lightly chipped points and dings. The cylinder is matching the frame, the hammer block safety is intact and the action generally seems to function well mechanically with good timing and lock-up, the trigger needing some manual reset assistance every now and then. A very good example of these fine quality British revolvers that proved popular during the Civil War. (13B11896-227) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

W. Collath Underlever Double Shotgun

W. Collath Underlever Double Shotgun

Lot # 1498 (Sale Order: 498 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
serial #15524, about 14 ga, 30” Wittener Excelsior barrels with oxidized bores that show moderate pitting their full-lengths. Though marked with Collath’s “C.1” cartridge designation which should equate to a 12 gauge, the chambering actually appears to be 14 gauge. The barrels retain about 80% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light with toning to a mild gray-brown patina and showing some light freckling and scattered handling marks. The action is a pleasant mix of pale gray-brown and silvery case-hardened patina embellished in full coverage with fine oak leaf motifs and handsome game scenes of fox and pheasant right, dog and hare left and the upper tang with profiles of stag, roebuck and auerhahn. The horn triggerguard rates about good with a break in the forward root while the underlever and pistolgrip cap are very fine. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and smooth forend rate about very good plus with generous original finish and some overall light dings and handling marks. Stock features left-side cheekpiece and smooth rosewood buttplate that shows some light dings along the toe. The action seems to function normally, barrel lock-up is solid and the arm is equipped with sling swivels and wing style safety atop tang. (13B11108-24) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (800/1200)

Ohio Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by J. Vincent

Ohio Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by J. Vincent

Lot # 1500 (Sale Order: 500 of 667)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,200
.36 cal, 34” octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of subtle frosting and crisp rifling throughout. The metal surfaces have been cleaned to a pewter gunmetal patina showing some remnants of mild oxidation staining and sparse pinprick pits. There is a filled thimble attachment point along the under rib with two brass thimbles in place, along with a neatly filled rear sight dovetail. The barrel retains strong “J. VINCENT” marking and the lockplate shows some later-applied somewhat rudimentary foliate embellishments. Hardware includes a pewter nosecap and fancy German silver wedge escutcheons with brass hardware including the thimbles, tailpipe, dual spur triggerguard, crescent buttplate with toe plate and wide food chopper lock screw escutcheon. The stock is of fine curly maple and rather dainty, unfortunately having suffered a break at the wrist, but this has been neatly repaired and the stock nicely refinished with a dark varnish. The stock otherwise just shows some scattered light handling marks and nice tiger stripe figure throughout featuring subtle squared-off cheekpiece on the left side. The rifle is sighted with a fine u-notch rear sight and copper blade front, a simple hickory ramrod is present and the lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. A very good rifle from Washington County, Ohio. (13A11108-93) {ANTIQUE} [Tom Devers Collection] (800/1200)
