(A) IMPORTANT CASED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH HISTORICAL PRESENTATION "COMPLIMEN

Lot # 1127 (Sale Order: 26 of 323)      

Serial number 4740, manufactured in 1861. Matching serial numbers on all major components including the wedge. 8" barrel with German silver front sight, marked in one line "-ADDRESS COL. SAM'L COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-". .44 caliber rebated cylinder marked "COLT'S PATENT NO. 4740", number "40" is double struck. Blue with case hardened frame, hammer, and loading lever. One piece varnished walnut grips. Frame cut for shoulder stock. Silver plated trigger guard. Iron backstrap with hand engraved inscription "HON E.O. PERRIN WITH COMPLIMENTS OF COL COLT" According to a letter written by R.L. Wilson dated May 18, 1971, Mr. Wilson believed the inscription to be the work of Gustave Young. All screws are original. Typically the frame screws used to mount a shoulder stock have a long stud like head, the screws on this revolver have rounded heads. Considering this revolver was factory cased without a shoulder stock these screws are correct and original to the revolver. Housed in a walnut partition fitted case with burgundy interior complete with correct powder flask marked "Colts Patent", blue two cavity bullet mold marked "Colt's Patent" on the sprue cutter and letter "K" on right side, blue combination nipple wrench/screwdriver, original Hazard Powder Co. packet of cartridges, Eley Bros. percussion cap tin, and a spare hammer spring. A number of known Colt Model 1860 Armies were presented to various high ranking Union Army officers and officials with similar inscriptions "With COMPLIMENTS OF COL.COLT" during mid-late June 1861. According to the book "The Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver" by Charles W. Pate, book one of the Colt shipping ledgers from that time, listed on page 146 a box containing 35 Model 1860 Army revolvers and six of those guns are known presentations from Col. Colt, including serial numbers 1856 & 4257 to Col. James Cameron, serial numbers 1929 & 2119 to Major General N.P. Banks, serial number 4782 to Honorable F.P. Stanton, and serial number 4740 to Honorable E. Perrin. Photographed on page 368 of Pate's book is the backstrap showing the inscription to F.P. Stanton's gun serial number 4782, the inscription is nearly identical to the inscription on Perrin's gun serial number 4740. Edwin Oscar (E.O.) Perrin was born Dec. 3, 1822 in Springfield, Ohio and educated at Springfield Academy. He later studied law and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1842. He moved from Ohio to Memphis, TN practicing law there and was the Navy agent under Pres. Taylor. In 1857 he traveled to Kansas and took an active part in the canvas against the Lecompton Constitution. He was an assistant to Presidential Candidate Stephen A. Douglass from the State of Maine and apparently very active in the Democratic Party. In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Perrin was dispatched by Secretary of War Cameron to New Mexico where he served under the command of Colonel Kit Carson, arranging supplies for the Union Army that was resisting the incursion of the Confederacy led by General Henry Sibley. Colonel Carson wrote favorably of Mr. Perrin’s brave & honorable service. He was subsequently nominated by President Johnson to become the Chief Justice of the Utah Territory Supreme Court but the Senate rejected his nomination, apparently on political grounds, not for lack of qualifications. He was also rejected by the Senate when he was nominated to be the Internal Revenue Assessor of the First District of New York. Mr. Perrin was the Secretary of five Democratic National Conventions and in 1868 was elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals in New York and was reappointed to the same position by the court in 1870. At this time there is little known of Mr. Perrin’s activities after 1870 until his death in Dec. 1888. Accompanying revolver and case is a binder of much documentation supporting authenticity and information regarding E.O. Perrin. CONDITION: The revolver is excellent retaining approximately 75% original blue mixing with blue/brown patina. Frame shows 30-40% original bright case colors blending with patina. Loading lever shows strong original case colors mainly in protected areas turning to patina. Hammer has 40%+ bright case color with light pitting on the face. Cylinder is mostly brown patina with traces of original blue, showing a strong roll die cylinder scene and patent markings. Click here to see the full description.

Lot # 1130 (Sale Order: 29 of 323)      

Designed by William Moore after his original design infringed on the S&W bore through patent and he was forced to ceased production of his 7-shot revolver. Moore redesigned his firearm to front load and use a self-contained cartridge with a primer at the end that stuck out like a teat (hence the name "teat fire"). Lot consists of (A) Top quality acid etched and engraved Moore teat fire revolver. Cylinder and barrel assembly are acid etched, barrel in foliate patterns and cylinder with a hunting scene. Frame has scroll on a punch dot background and accentuated with crosshatches and foliates. Frame shows evidence of having been silver plated on straps and area forward of trigger. Frame marked underneath grips with "K" and "CZ 70" and has a small piece of typewritten paper reading "B. Delavan / Canandaigua / N.Y.", probably a previous owner. "CZ" also found of face of barrel assembly when removed from frame; "CZ70" on rear of cylinder. CONDITION: Very Good, with metal beginning to turn to a chocolate patina primarily along top of barrel, and balance darkening. Acid etching is vivid on cylinder but somewhat softened on barrel. Frame is exposed brass and shows evidence of silver plating at one time as mentioned before. Grips are good with some rubbing to high edges and some minor nicks and areas of lifting. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is very good with strong rifling. (B) Second Moore .32 teat fire with light engraving, primarily scroll on punched ground on frame, accented with starbursts and florals. Frame is silver plated, barrel is blued. Frame is marked "M" and "Q40" under the grips and has two small pieces of paper, one reading "Frank P.

APR 25 / 1863" under loading gate on frame. "Q40" also marked on barrel assembly and rear of cylinder. CONDITION: Very good, retaining much of the high polish blue finish with barrel turning a smooth chocolate patina, mostly on barrel assembly and with spotting on cylinder. Frame retains the vast majority of the silver plating with some rubbing to brass at high edges and scattered marks from handling and storage. Grips are very good and free of cracks but do have some pressure marks and dings.

PERSONAL SILVER POCKET WATCH OF CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS, WHO TRADED IT IN LENNOXVILLE

Lot # 1140 (Sale Order: 37 of 323)      

At the end of the American Civil War, there was perhaps no more disdained man in the Northern States than Confederate President Jefferson Davis. He was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe for 2 years and was slated to be tried for treason, which carried a penalty of hanging. At the last moment, and with concerns over the repercussions of martyring Davis, the United States Government accepted a $100,000 bond, paid for by several notable anti-slavery advocates including Horace Greely, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Gerrit Smith. With concerns over his safety if he stayed in the United States, Davis fled to Canada with the stipulation that he return at a later date for a final disposition. When he headed to Canada, he found the city of Quebec to be too busy, and he left for Lennoxville instead. While in Lennoxville, Davis was faced with a difficult situation; with all of his assets seized, Davis was functionally broke, but still needed to secure a way that would allow him to take care of his family and start a new life. Critically, he needed a new pair of boots, and there was only one shoemaker listed in Lennoxville, Robert Balfour. In order to secure the new pair of boots, Jefferson bartered his silver pocket watch to Robert Balfour in payment. When it was bartered to the family, the family kept it in their possession for over 100 years before the bloodline died out with Helen Parks Wood, at which time it passed to her husband, Raymond Wood. Upon Raymond's death, he passed the watch to his neighbors, Thomas and Doris Courchene, who had cared for him in the last 14 years of his life and managed his home. In 2002, the watch was loaned to the Historic Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum in Biloxi, Mississippi before it was sold at auction in 2004 and kept in private possession. Between 2006 and 2010, the Watch was also displayed at the First White House of the Confederacy in Alabama, and has since remained in private possession. The watch itself is a hunting case pocket watch with stamped and chased engraving in scroll patterns and highlighted with multi-colored enamel work. The dial is marked "DENT LONDON". Dent was a respected watchmaker and known as the maker of the Great Clock of Westminster (Big Ben). Dent, as other prominent firms, engaged in the practice of buying rough finished watch movements and either finishing themselves or subcontracting the work, and then putting their own name on the watch as a budget alternative to a "true" Dent. The case is marked for distribution by T.R. Losada, an international importer and dealer primarily focusing on South American and Spain. The movement is Continental and probably made by V.A. Pierret of Paris, finished by a subcontractor for Dent, sold by Dent to Losada, who cased it for sale. The key wind and key set and other features indicate manufacture between 1850 and 1865, which puts it in the appropriate time frame for Davis to have possession of the watch before leaving for Canada. The watch is housed in a case made of wood with carved floral designs and French fitted to fit the watch and opened at the top for the stem. The case is then housed in a modern watch case to protect the watch and contains the winding keys. A small "WB / 84" is incised on the inside of the case. PROVENANCE: This watch is accompanied by a binder of extensive provenance, which is covered here in order presented. A letter from Patrick Hotard, Curator of the Beauvoir, The Jefferson Davis Home & Presidential Library, dated 2000 returning the material that the Courchenes had provided for the Library and asking for them to put the watch on loan at the Beauvoir and a second letter dated 2003 thanking the Courchenes for loaning the watch to the museum, where it was displayed in the rotunda of the Confederate Soldiers Museum, with photos of the display, and signed by Alice West Bellanger, archivist. There is also a letter from Rebecca A. Rose, the Director of Collections and Registrar for the Museum of the Confederacy, a branch of the American Civil War Museum, expressing their interest in acquiring the watch for the museum as a donation and sending them the paperwork to start the process, which ultimately did not occur.
