(A) CONFEDERATE BILLARZ, HALL & CO. VIRGINIA MADE PERCUSSION CARBINE.

Lot # 2215 (Sale Order: 126 of 374)      

For many years these carbines were thought to be by D. C. Hodgkins & Sons. J.M. Murphy, M.D., in "Confederate Carbines and Musketoons" confirmed they were made by Bilharz, Hall & Co. of Pittsylvania Courthouse, Virginia, circa 1863-1864 and copied the U.S. M1855 carbine. Total manufacturing estimates range between 400 and 1,000, but collectors agree it was most likely near 700. At the time of the writing of the Murphy and Madaus book (2002) they noted only 9 known examples of the muzzleloading carbine variation. There has most likely been a few additional examples located, but they are still recognized as amongst the rarest of all Confederate martial arms available to collectors. Visible markings on this example is a "P" proof and "CSA" on the barrel at the breech. Carbine retains the blade front sight, swivel mounted ramrod, desirable pewter forend cap, primitive notched rear sight and sling swivel. Serial numbered 584 on breech plug visible with barrel removed. Matching assembly number "C44" visible on inside of lock and underside of barrel. CONDITION: Very good, with bright barrel and lock turning a dove gray patina with areas of light freckling throughout. Stock is very good with light handling marks throughout, period filled in knot on left side, and no major cracks. Period initialed "WW" on right side of stock. Mechanically fine. Bore is dark with visible rifling. Very attractive and difficult to find Confederate carbine. BRM. Barrel Length: 22" Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Billharz, Hall & Co. Model: Carbine Serial Number: 584

(A) RARE AND DESIRABLE 2ND MODEL CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE MORSE CARBINE.

Lot # 2216 (Sale Order: 127 of 374)      

Of all 3 models of Morse carbines, the 2nd model had the lowest production. Properly numbered on the bottom of the frame, interior of removable sideplate, and the inside bottom of the breech block. Interestingly, this gun features the "lightening cuts" on the sides of the breech block, found sporadically on some of the earlier production guns. "H" inspectors mark found on the right side of the hammer as well as on the frame under the sideplate. Period scratched into the sideplate is a shield, as well as "E.F.A 1ston" on the right side of the frame, the meaning of which is unknown. The large style serial numbers appear to be stamped rather than engraved. CONDITION: Gun retains a dark patina, some of which is chemically applied. The stocks are restorations, as is the buttplate, hammer spur, breech catch, rear section of lower receiver tang after the trigger guard, cleaning jag, cleaning rod, and rear sight. Bore is very dark with some rifling. The main spring is missing as is the trigger pin. Latch mechanism does not engage properly and should be addressed. GR Barrel Length: 20" Caliber/Bore: .50 Morse Carbine FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Morse Model: Carbine Serial Number: 334

(A) YANKEE CAPTURED CONFEDERATE BILHARZ, HALL, AND CO. PERCUSSION CARBINE.

Lot # 2217 (Sale Order: 128 of 374)      

For many years these carbines were thought to be by D. C. Hodgkins & Sons. J.M. Murphy M.D. in "Confederate Carbines and Musketoons" confirmed they were made by Bilharz, Hall & Co. of Pittsylvania Courthouse, Virginia, circa 1863-1864 and copied the U.S. M1855 carbine. Total manufacturing estimates range between 400 and 1,000, but collectors agree it was most likely near 700. At the time of the writing of the Murphy and Madaus book (2002) they noted only 9 known examples of the muzzleloading carbine variation. There has most likely been a few additional examples located, but they are still recognized as amongst the rarest of all Confederate martial arms available to collectors. 22" barrel in .58 caliber with broad blade front sight and notch rear sight. Marked on top of barrel near breech with a "P" on left side of barrel above wood line. Assembly marked "H 82" on inside of lock as well as bottom of barrel near breech. Serial number on rear face of breech is indiscernible. Captured swivel full length cupped ramrod. Iron barrel band and brass nosecap. 1 piece walnut stock with iron buttplate. The stock is period carved on both sides in a most unusual manner. Although not common, we have observed other similar carvings on wood canteens, leather gear, and the stocks or other rifles. Some letters are oriented correctly, some backward, and some upside down. Through extensive research and speculation, we have come to the conclusion that the carbine was captured or surrendered and brought home as a Yankee souvenir. The name is most likely that of Joseph Gume, a member of the 19th Ohio Infantry Regt. The 19th Ohio Infantry was reorganized at Alliance, Ohio and mustered in for 3 years service on September 25, 1861, under the command of Colonel Charles Frederick Manderson. The regiment was highly engaged through the duration of the war at locations like the Battle of Shiloh, Siege of Corinth Battle of Perryville, Battle of Stones River, Tullahoma Campaign, Battle of Chickamauga, Siege of Chattanooga, Battle of Missionary Ridge, Atlanta Campaign, Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Battle of Peachtree Creek, Siege of Atlanta, Battle of Jonesboro, Battle of Lovejoy's Station, Second Battle of Franklin, and the Battle of Nashville. The regiment lost a total of 279 men during service; 7 officers and 104 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded, 6 officers and 162 enlisted men died of disease. The 19th Ohio Infantry mustered out of service at San Antonio, Texas, on October 24, 1865. CONDITION: Good, with barrel turned a brown patina with heavy pitting near breech, consistent with heavy use and age. "CSA" marking near breech is no longer present. Stock is in matching condition with consistent light handling marks, small crack near lock mortise rear, missing wood near bolster, and wood glue repair near hammer consistent with burnout from heavy use. Mechanically fine. Bore is dark with visible 3 groove rifling. Barrel Length: 22" Caliber/Bore: .58 caliber FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Bilharz, Hall & Co. Model: Carbine Serial Number: NSN

(A) FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT 1851 NAVY SINGLE ACTION PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

Lot # 2224 (Sale Order: 135 of 374)      

1865 vintage Colt 1851 Navy, serial number 181008. 7 - 1/2" octagonal barrel with dovetailed blade front sight, New York barrel address, and hammer notch rear. 1 piece plain period replacement walnut grips. Matching serial numbers observed at rammer, barrel, wedge, cylinder, cylinder arbor, frame, trigger guard, and butt. Marked "I.E." denoting this gun was originally set aside for factory engraving and ivory grips. About 75% coverage factory engraved in vine style scroll with no punchdot background, as is customary of this style of engraving, with accenting ribbons on either side of barrel near wedge, and bordered barrel address. Frame engraved en suite, with sunbursts at top of backstrap on both sides, near frame, and on top of backstrap near hammer. Hammer is engraved with Young style wolf's head motif. In 1864, Colt had a factory fire that is known to have destroyed the in-house engraving shop, this new method allowed Colt to save an estimated 1/4 of the time it took to engrave a revolver.

Lot # 2227 (Sale Order: 138 of 374)      

1861 vintage Colt 1851 Navy, as per serial number 93243. 7 - 1/2" octagonal barrel with Hartford, CT barrel address, dovetailed blade front sight, and hammer notch rear. 1 piece carved ivory grips featuring a profile of a Cuirassier on the left panel with 2 holes on right grip panel where there appears to have been an oval presentation plaque. Grips are hand numbered to match in a factory style on backstrap with grips removed. Factory engraved in Gustave Young's classic style in about 75% coverage with floral scroll on a punchdot background accented by sunburst on top of backstrap near hammer. Further accented by dog near rammer assembly screw with wolf's head on hammer. Silver plated backstrap and trigger guard. Full or partial matching serial numbers observed at barrel, rammer, wedge, cylinder arbor, cylinder, frame, trigger guard, and butt. Complete with factory letter documenting configuration, with the exception of stocks being listed as wood. Shipped from the factory April 26, 1861 to W. A. Thornton c/o Colonel D. D. Tompkins, Assistant Quartermaster General New York, New York in a shipment of 10 guns of the same type. Brevet Brigadier General William Anderson Thornton graduated West Point in 1825 as a 2nd Lieutenant, and served from that time until his death in 1866. His service included arms and ordnance inspection at Watertown Arsenal, Watervliet Arsenal, Mt. Vernon Arsenal (Alabama), New York Ordnance Depot, Inspector of Contract Arms, in command of Watertown Arsenal and New York Ordnance Depot, Member of Ordnance Board for trial of Small Arms, in command of St. Louis Arsenal, Chief of Ordnance for the Department of New Mexico, Member of Ordnance Board for testing the strength of heavy guns and gun carriages, and in command of New York Arsenal. He was brevetted to Brigadier General March 13, 1863 for “Faithful and Meritorious Services in the Ordnance Department”. Colonel Daniel D. Tompkins graduated West Point in 1820 and served from that time until his death in 1863. He was the nephew of the Governor of New York who went on to be Vice President who had the same name. During the Seminole Wars in 1836-1838 he was present for the skirmish at San Velasco Hommock and the Battle of Wahoo Swamp, where he was brevetted to the rank of Major for “Gallant and Meritorious Conduct in the War against the Florida Indians”. Later, he would also brevetted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel for “Meritorious Conduct, Particularly in the Performance of His Duties in the Prosecution of the War with Mexico” while carrying out his role as a Quartermaster. In 1856 he received the rank of Colonel where he would serve as Depot Quartermaster at New York City during the Civil War. Given the pedigree of this revolver, as well as the configuration, and its historic shipping destination in a shipment of 10 guns of the same type, it is very possible that this revolver was meant to be a gift to a loyal staff officer under either Thornton or Tompkins. CONDITION: Very good, with virtually all of the original bluing faded to a gray patina with light freckling throughout and engraving crisp. Cylinder scene is mostly legible with scattered areas of fading and freckling throughout.
