Cased Smith & Wesson No. 1 Second Issue Revolver with Carved Ivory Grip

Lot # 1202 (Sale Order: 203 of 667)      

serial #43747, 22 RF, 3 3/16” octagon barrel with a fair bore showing old light pitting and oxidation with good rifling. The metal surfaces retain about 90% of an older period reapplied nickel finish with some flaked areas along the cylinder and barrel toning to a deep gray patina. The original factory markings remain quite strong and the antique ivory grips remain in excellent condition with an attractive patina and nice age striations. The right panel is smooth and the left features a finely detailed carved female figure; both are numbered to the gun in antique ink and fit the frame well. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits some play and the action seems to function well mechanically. Strangely the barrel and cylinder are assembly-numbered “32” while the frame is “85” though they obviously have been together for a very long time. The revolver includes a period leather-covered case with reptilian pattern showing some light flaking and edge wear and equipped with German silver clasps. The interior is lined in purple velvet showing mild fading and a partial box of original cartridges is housed within. The box shows green UMC label with image of revolver, some moderate staining and one lid end flap missing. An interesting ensemble. (13B11730-38) {ANTIQUE} [Peter DeRose Collection] (1200/1800)

Newark Police Department Smith & Wesson First Model 32 Hand Ejector Revolver

Lot # 1204 (Sale Order: 205 of 667)      

serial #8273, 32 S&W Long, 3 1/4” barrel with a bright near excellent bore. This is a particularly interesting example as it shows “Newark Police No. 1” engraved along the backstrap and the included factory letter indicates the revolver shipped to Lyman E. Kane on March 8, 1897 in a shipment of 45 guns. Further documentation shows that Mr. Kane was police commissioner of Newark at the time and one wonders if Kane himself took possession of this revolver as it is police No. 1. These police revolvers had shorter barrels and hammer spurs than standard production and were shipped in nickel finish with hard rubber grips. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original nickel finish showing some sparsely scattered light flaking and handling marks. The hammer and trigger retain good wisps of case-hardened colors mostly drifting to a smoky case-hardened patina and all markings are intact and strong. The grips have been swapped out during the period of use for a set of smooth mother-of-pearl panels in very good plus condition showing some light handling marks and a neatly repaired small flake at the top corner of the right panel. The remaining number parts are matching and the action is crisp. A fine example for the police firearms collector. (13C11730-472) {ANTIQUE} [Peter DeRose Collection] (1200/1800)

Smith & Wesson Third Model 38 Safety Hammerless Revolver with U.S. Express Co. Markings

Lot # 1205 (Sale Order: 206 of 667)      

serial #89079, 38 S&W, 3 1/4” barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore showing a few small areas of mild oxidation and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This revolver shows U.S. Express Co. property markings rather fancily inscribed along the left sideplate “U.S.X.” and the serial number stamped by them in larger bold numbering along the right side. The metal surfaces retain about 75% original bright blue along the barrel and frame with light flaking to gray-brown patina under bright light along with some other scattered light handling marks. The cylinder has mostly flaked to a deep gray-brown patina with generous bright blue in the flutes and all markings remain crisp. The trigger retains a healthy amount of nice case-hardened colors and the black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very good condition with scattered scuffs and light dings. The right panel is stamp-numbered to a later gun “209185” but fits well and the remaining numbered parts are matching. Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action is crisp. The revolver also includes an interesting period leather concealment holster with dual buckled straps and leather lid with steel clasp closure. The holster rates very good with some moderate edge wear and the straps a bit tender with evident crackling. A very good revolver used by the prolific U.S. Express Co. railroad company.

Lot # 1206 (Sale Order: 207 of 667)      

serial #768, 38 S&W, 3 1/4” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original nickel finish that shows some scattered light handling marks and the nickel taking on some nice honest clouding overall. The trigger shows fine case-hardened colors drifting somewhat to smoky gray while the remaining small parts retain about 97% original bright blue showing a hint of thinning along the guard. The black checkered hard rubber grips rate excellent left and very fine right, both taking on a deep brown tone. The right panel is scratch-numbered matching the frame and other numbered parts are matching. Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action is crisp. The included red pebbled fabric-covered box remains in very fine condition showing just a little mild edge wear. The base appears to be pencil-numbered to the different gun but the orange end label is appropriate for the revolver and is almost completely intact. An excellent early First Model.

U.S. Model 1817 Flintlock Common Rifle by Simeon North

Lot # 1207 (Sale Order: 208 of 667)      

.54 cal, 36” barrel with a partially bright good to about very good bore showing old light pitting and oxidation its full-length with otherwise strong rifling throughout. This rifle has been reconverted to flint utilizing an original 1825-dated lockplate, the cock, frizzen and spring being later aged replacements that look to be of good quality and in the appropriate style. The barrel retains a healthy amount of older restored plum-brown finish showing some sparsely scattered light pitting and old oxidation staining. There is some simulated pitting around the touch hole and the breech otherwise retains fine markings with “US / P / JN” and 1824 date at the tang. The central maker markings along the lockplate remain strong while the date and address at the rear have softened somewhat from the years. The smooth walnut stock rates very good as carefully cleaned long ago and having reacquired a pleasant dark tone overall showing a couple of thin cracks along the left flat, repaired crack on the right between the upper tang and lockplate and other scattered dings. The left flat retains a very good circled “JN” inspector cartouche, a correct style brass-tipped iron ramrod is present and the proper sights are intact. The lock seems to function well mechanically. A very respectable example of these early US martial rifles for the antique arms collector. (13C11816-2) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Winchester Pre ’64 Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot # 1209 (Sale Order: 210 of 667)      

serial #273745, 338 Win Magnum, 25” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1953-made rifle retain about 92-95% original blue with light wear on high edges, the matte blue receiver showing light marks from optics bases, and some scattered light handling marks and specks of old oxidation. The bolt remains bright with some minor operational wear and light staining on the knob, and the extractor retains nearly all its blue. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good plus condition with a few light handling marks, a few small spots of flaking finish, and some light bubbling from contact with a contaminant at the stock tip; the stock is fit with a Pachmayr White Line ventilated recoil pad providing an about 13 1/2” length of pull. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, and the underside of the bolt is lightly numbered to the rifle. The rifle is sighted with a ramped silver bead front sight and a folding adjustable u-notch rear sight, and sling swivels are in place on forend and toe line. Though the serial number dates to 1953, and production of 338 Win Mag Model 70 Alaskan not occurring until June of 1959, the rifle shows no evidence of amateur barrel replacement with no vice marks apparent, and all the metal parts showing comparable amounts of wear. It seems most likely that this rifle is the result of either a forgotten receiver being finally assembled into a rifle, as Winchester was not strict about assembly rifles in serial number order, or a previously purchased rifle factory rebarreled. Nonetheless, the rifle is a very good example of these classic Winchester rifles, well suited to large or dangerous game. Included are a pair of Redfield bases. (14B11854-2) {C&R} (1500/2000)

U.S. M1 Carbine by Standard Products

Lot # 1210 (Sale Order: 211 of 667)      

serial #2233274, 30 Carbine, 18” 3-44 dated Underwood barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing a spot of light oxidation at the muzzle. The metal surfaces retain about 85-90% arsenal Parkerized finish with light to perhaps moderate operational wear, areas toning to brown, and a few light handling marks; the bolt retains about 80% blue with light wear and light pitting. The low-wood oval-cut walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in excellent condition as perhaps lightly cleaned with a light rub mark from sling contact on the end of the forend and perhaps a light handling mark or two. The sling cut is marked “J” next to an Ordnance Wheel, and the underside of the handguard is stamped “S-HB”; the stock appears otherwise unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, the hammer is “W” marked and the trigger housing Inland-marked, and the remaining marked parts showing Standard Product codes; it is known that both Inland and Winchester parts were shared with Standard Products, and therefore may very well be correct to this carbine. The carbine features a 2-position aperture rear sight, a button safety, flat bolt, and Type II barrel band. Included is a “IU” marked 15-round magazine showing wear at the top, light staining, and pinprick pitting, green canvas sling, and oiler. Standard Products produced about 4% of all M1 Carbines, this example appearing largely correct. (14A11835-2) {C&R} (1200/1800)

Interesting DWM Model 1906 Commercial Luger Pistol

Lot # 1219 (Sale Order: 220 of 667)      

serial #27395, 30 Luger, 6” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a peculiar Luger pistol, built on an old-style “long” frame with rebated triggerguard and no stock lug, and equipped with long tapered 6” barrel. The pistol shows commercial “(Crown) / N” proofs and a small “GERMANY” import mark on the left frame rail indicating it was indeed “officially” imported into this country no doubt pre-First World War. Another peculiarity is the fact that none of the usual parts are serial-numbered, even the front edge of the frame where the full serial number is normally located is blank and appears to always have been, instead there is a large hand-stamped number in period serifed font at the rear of the frame “27395”. The pistol remains in nice condition retaining about 90-92% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light showing some overall fading and toning to a pleasant gray-brown patina under bright light, some silvering along the high edges and light handling marks. The small parts retain lovely rich straw color throughout showing a little mild silvering and the sear spring, right grip screw and a few of the pins with nice fire blue. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good plus condition showing a few areas of lightly chipped or compressed points and the left panel with some slivers missing along the back edge near the grip safety. The grips otherwise retain excellent fit and are un-numbered on their interiors, the inside of the left panel does have the name “BILL” lightly carved into it. The frame bears no safety markings, shows typical DWM toggle monogram and the pistol is equipped with standard un-grooved firing pin and “GELADEN”-marked extractor. One bright-bodied magazine with unmarked wood base is included, the body having mostly toned to a mild gray patina. The action seems to function well mechanically. Acquired by Mr. Gaines from John Gangel in 1995. A very interesting Luger pistol for the advanced collector, perhaps some sort of prototype later sold commercially or a specially-ordered example. (13B11874-120) {C&R} [Alan J. Gaines Collection] (1000/1500)

U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Springfield Armory

Lot # 1222 (Sale Order: 223 of 667)      

serial #4308134, 30-06, 24” 6-53 dated Springfield Armory barrel with some scattered specks in an otherwise bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this early 1950’s vintage rifle retain about 90% gray arsenal Parkerized finish with light wear on the high edges and contact points, scattered spots of minor oxidation, and areas of light thinning. The walnut stock and handguards are in very good plus condition as lightly cleaned and perhaps with an older added finish, with a few light dings and handling marks, a filler-repaired ding behind the pistolgrip, and a small vacant screw hole at the toe with a second filled hole next to it, and the steel buttplate retains about 80% later added blue and is proud in spots. The right side of the buttstock is faintly marked “AA / 27066”, and appears otherwise devoid of markings. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, a small T.G.A. import mark tucked beneath the operating rod, the marked parts including the relief cut operating rod show Springfield Armory drawing numbers, and the right receiver leg is scratch marked “SA / 9-63” denoting an arsenal refurbishment. Quite curiously, the bolt and receiver show faint “(crown) / BNP” proofs and the barrel is marked with crisp British export proofs between the gas cylinder rings, appearing to be of late 1970’s vintage; the rifle is definitively not a lend-lease example. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, a stamped triggerguard, and 2-slot gas cylinder screw. A solid M1 rifle with quite a curious history, offering a possible research opportunity. (14B11901-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Quite curiously, the bolt and receiver show faint “(crown) / BNP” proofs and the barrel is marked with crisp British export proofs between the gas cylinder rings, appearing to be of late 1970’s vintage; the rifle is definitively not a lend-lease example. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, a stamped triggerguard, and 2-slot gas cylinder screw. A solid M1 rifle with quite a curious history, offering a possible research opportunity. (14B11901-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)
