Lot # 1501 (Sale Order: 501 of 667)      

serial #975570, 25-20, 24” octagon barrel with full magazine and a bright excellent bore. The barrel and magazine tube of this 1928-made rifle retain 95% original blue with minimal high edge wear and crisp markings.

The plain walnut stocks are very good plus with minor dings scattered throughout and a minor concentration of marks around the left wrist otherwise the finish retains a nice luster. There are sling swivel eyes fitted along the toe and forend cap that measure like a factory install and the rifle is sighted with a standard semi-buckhorn rear sight and a Lyman hunting front sight with a bright ivory bead. An honest 92 rifle with a great bore. (24B11523-51) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (800/1200)

Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 1502 (Sale Order: 502 of 667)      

serial #101730A, 32-20, 24” octagon barrel with a full magazine and a partially bright good bore with modest pitting throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1882-made rifle have thinned to a medium gunmetal gray-brown patina with silver accented high edges, speckled pitting, and light abrasions throughout. The barrel exhibits impact marks mostly confined to areas around the sights while the magazine tube shows some dings and scratches particularly around the magazine hanger. The dust cover appears to have been replaced long ago and the tang drilled and tapped for a tang sight, despite that, the “Model 1873” marking remains intact. The barrel markings have softened over time yet remain legible however the “32 Cal.” markings on both the barrel and carrier remain crisp. The straight grip walnut stock appears to have one repaired crack behind the upper tang with some of the edges a little bit shy of the metal while the forend shows chips on either side of the woodline and a repaired crack near the endcap; both of which have been nicely refinished accenting the prominent grain. The rifle is sighted with a coarsely knurled Lyman combination tang sight, a checkered factory sporting rear sight, and a blade front sight with a copper bead. (24B11871-1) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

German 1920 Police Luger Pistol by DWM

Lot # 1503 (Sale Order: 503 of 667)      

serial #2517s, 9mm, 4” barrel with a bright very good plus bore with some touches of light pitting nearer the muzzle but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 92% factory quality refurbished rust blue with light wear on the high edges and contact points, a few light dings atop the receiver, and fine previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish; the sideplate is toning lightly to brown under bright light. The strawed parts are largely drifting to a silvery patina with generous remnants of color remaining on the ejector and side of the trigger, and the toggle pins and sear spring display vibrant fire blue. The checkered hardwood grips are in very good condition with some light wear and handling marks, the right panel numbered to the pistol and showing what appears to be a “(star) / K”, the left panel numbered “14” and marked with a clear “S/42” and a partially legible “(eagle) / HZa…” depot marking. The DWM monogram remains clear, the chamber area is undated, multiple small parts show “(crown) / N” proofs, the sear shows an additional depot marking, and the parts have been renumbered to match the pistol with the previous “65” still visible on the trigger; the hold-open, grooved firing pin, and safety are unnumbered. The front strap shows two separate canceled police unit markings, both appearing to be for the Prussian Schutzpolizei of the Arnsberg district. The police sear safety is intact and the magazine disconnect has been removed, as often is the case, leaving a small notch in the left side of the frame. Included is a bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing some fine oxidation staining, the base likely period numbered to the pistol with “2” marked above and below the serial number. A nice long-serving Weimar-era police Luger. (14A11728-173) {C&R} (800/1200)

Exceptional Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special Airweight Hand Ejector Revolver

Lot # 1510 (Sale Order: 510 of 667)      

serial #24112, 38 Special, 1 7/8” barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely four-screw revolver was produced in 1953 and remains in excellent condition. The revolver retains about 98% original blue and anodized finishes showing light muzzle wear, a very fine line of wear on the edge of one flute, and minor handling marks. The service trigger and hammer retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The grips are an anomaly on this gun, as early J-frames had a frame about 1/8” shorter than the remainder of production. The grips on this gun are cut for the shorter frame, however they are correctly serial numbered on one panel and assembly numbered on the other to this gun. They are diamond checkered walnut factory Magna grips with silver S&W medallions and are in excellent condition with a tiny chip at the top front edge of the left grip. All the appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun although the crane lacks a serial number but is correctly assembly numbered to the frame. It has the standard fixed sights, features the early aluminum cylinder and appears to function mechanically. It includes a mismatched box labeled to a Model 37 with accessories. A desirable must have revolver for J-frame collections. (8B10826-410) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (800/1200)

Lovely Remington Model 95 Double Deringer

Lot # 1515 (Sale Order: 515 of 667)      

serial #733, 41 RF, 3” barrels with bright near excellent bores showing light frosting in the bottom and a few mild pits in the top with strong rifling in both. The metal surfaces retain 97% original nickel finish showing some intermittent bubbling, minimal handling wear, and a few small flecks of loss nearer the muzzle on the right side. The hammer, trigger, lever, and extractor have begun to tone to a smoky gunmetal retaining lots of handsome fire blue, strongest on the lever, sides of the hammer, and flat plane of the extractor. The smooth factory mother-of-pearl grips remain excellent, with three small checks running out from the screw escutcheon on the right panel and a generally shy fit throughout both panels, but with minimal handling wear. The gun locks up tightly and appears to function well mechanically, with the hinge remaining robust, the extractor functioning smoothly, and the barrel displaying a later “long-line” address. A lovely and high condition double deringer. (26A10826-172) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (800/1200)

Scarce Smith & Wesson No. 1 Third Issue Revolver

Lot # 1519 (Sale Order: 519 of 667)      

serial #76846, 22 RF, 2 11/16” barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some old light pitting and oxidation with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel and frame of this scarce shorter barrel variant retain perhaps 60% original bright blue with scattered flaking to mild gray-brown patina and a few areas of old oxidation, namely along the left barrel flute. The cylinder has mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing some scattered pinprick pitting and some flakes of original bright blue in the flutes. The hammer retains generous vibrant case-hardened colors while the ejector rod and trigger are a smoky gray and the barrel retains strong markings properly located on the left side. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very fine condition retaining about 90% original varnish showing some light flaking along the left panel and some other minor handling marks. The right panel is properly stamp-numbered matching the frame and the other numbered parts are matching by assembly number “T44”. Barrel-to-frame fit is very good and the action will require a little mechanical attention as the hand does not come up properly to rotate the cylinder, likely due to a spring issue, but the hammer remains crisp. The included factory letter indicates this revolver shipped as described, probably on July 20, 1872 in a mixed 350 gun order to Smith & Wesson’s New York City distributor M. W. Robinson Co.

American Heavy Percussion Over Under Rifle

Lot # 1521 (Sale Order: 521 of 667)      

About .45 cal, 39” octagon barrels with about good bores showing old pitting and oxidation with generally strong rifling throughout, the bottom barrel still with good bright areas. The barrels of this interesting heavy double rifle retain about 80% of an antique deep plum-brown finish showing some scattered old oxidation that is mostly mild and some honest erosion from cap splash around the breeches. The right side is joined with a solid rib while the left is fitted with four brass thimbles holding a simple hickory ramrod. The top flat shows a slightly faded lightly engraved name that appears to be “G.E. MORGAN” and the back action lockplates are rather spartan and a similar patina as the barrels, the right with a very faded lock maker mark. The arms features simple drum and nipple bolsters and the triggerguard and crescent buttplate are brass, the right side of the stock with a German silver pendulum patchbox. The walnut stock rates very fine having darkened somewhat from the years and showing scattered light dings, otherwise retaining nice fit. A rather nice rifle for over the mantel.

Michigan Swivel Breech Percussion Buck & Ball Gun by E.K. Purdy

Lot # 1522 (Sale Order: 522 of 667)      

About .44 cal in both, 34” round barrels with moderate oxidized bores, the rifle barrel with evident rifling. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a mix of deep plum-brown patina and dark gray showing scattered old oxidation and some considerable erosion around the rifle’s nipple bolster from honest period use, the shotgun barrel apparently having seen less use. The maker markings on both barrels are quite soft but mostly legible upon close inspection and the ramrod thimbles along one side have been reattached some time ago. The breech, upper tang and lockplate are lightly engraved with some simple thin riband embellishments and the rifle is equipped with iron triggerguard, and brass trigger, crescent buttplate and toe plat that show a nice deep ocher patina. The smooth walnut stock rates about very good plus with some darkening from the years, a few small drying cracks scattered about and some other old dings. The stock otherwise maintains a rather honest appearance overall. The barrel catch is actuated by a small round button atop the upper tang and the barrels are sighted with semi-buckhorn rear sights and a silver blade front for rifle and silver bead for shotgun. The barrels lock-up with moderate play and the hammer appears to be bent in slightly but the lock is functional. An old brass-tipped hickory ramrod is present along with a more modern plain wooden rod. A very good buck and ball gun with a lot of character from Schoolcraft Michigan.

Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 1523 (Sale Order: 523 of 667)      

serial #678990B, 32 WCF, 24” octagon barrel with full magazine and a fair-good bore showing light pitting, a few areas perhaps more moderate ahead of the chamber, along with generous bright areas and good rifling. The metal surfaces of this 1912-made rifle are mostly a mix of medium gray and plum-brown patina showing some scattered light pitting, old dings and small tool marks from honest use. The magazine tube and hanger exhibit some play as the pin is missing, the markings remain mostly strong and the cartridge lifter is a deep ocher patina with good caliber marking. The plain walnut stocks remain in about very good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished long ago showing some light dings and a few small shallow chips along the edges of the forend. The buttstock may be an old period replacement as it is a bit proud of the metal and the toe line and some areas of the forend display some subtle attractive grain figure. The rifle is sighted with standard sporting rear sight and small German silver blade front, the dust cover is intact and the action seems to function normally. (13A11968-1) {C&R} (800/1000)
