(A) LUDWIG LOEWE PRESENTATION COPY OF A S&W NO. 3 REVOLVER, WITH AN ENGRAVING PATTERN NEARLY IDENTIC

Lot # 2245 (Sale Order: 156 of 374)      

When General Alexander Gorloff, the Russian military attache, was shown the No. 3 revolver by Smith & Wesson in an attempt to elicit a contract, he was interested but requested several changes, including a rechambering to a different bullet (Gorloff, rightfully, had concerns that the heeled lubricated bullet would be extremely dirty and detrimental to the bore), which became the .44 Russian. When Grand Duke Alexandrovich visited the factory in 1871 to review the progress on the contract, S&W courted him with a pearl gripped engraved Russian Model, which he reputedly toted throughout his U.S. trip, even taking it on a buffalo hunt with Buffalo Bill himself. Alexandrovich is supposed to even have used the gun to take a buffalo during the hunt. However, several factors, including S&W selling copies of the revolver to Turkey and Japan and the cost to move them across the world, led to Russia enticing European companies to manufacture a copy for them. Ludwig Loewe manufactured guns as a copy of the 3rd Model Russian with integral blade front sight, blued frame barrel assembly and cylinder, case colored trigger guard and hammer. Non-rotatable lanyard loop. "11" observed on frame under grips; grips with "11" inscribed on interior. Top rib has "LUD. LOEWE & Co BERLIN" in gold. This example has ornate engraving on a striated ground, which covers the frame, lower lug of barrel assembly, rib, rear of hammer, trigger guard, and top-break junction; subjects include floral scroll, urns, mythical animals (gryphon?), florals, ornaments, and a gold wire design on knuckle. Gold wire design does not correspond to any designs this cataloguer has been able to find. Gold band at muzzle. Tortoiseshell grips with checkered panels, Ludwig logo monogram at top, slightly shrunk. Examples with engraving patterns that are nearly identical can be seen in the Hermitage Museum, inventory 3.O.-6868, also published in "Antique European and American Firearms At The Hermitage Museum" by Tarassuk, 1972, plate 495; Joh. Springer's Erben auction, November 7th, 2019, Lot 210, with provenance from Prince Alexander I of Bulgaria. PROVENANCE: Family lore states that revolver was purchased from a German antiques dealer shortly after the conclusion of World War II. CONDITION: Overall excellent, retaining virtually all of the blue with a few minor splotches of age related oxidation, one on each side of frame and a small area of barrel; slightly larger area of left side of blade front sight. Front sight was cleaned of corrosion in the past and has visible areas of polishing and loss on left side. Engraving is crisp and absolutely gorgeous throughout. Tortoiseshell grips have shrunk and expose inner mechanism to some extent; free of cracks or chips. Bore is excellent, with crisp sharp rifling, breech is exceptionally clean. This gun is absolutely gorgeous and worthy of being in either a top quality gun collection or a collection of the finest art.

(A) MARTIALLY MARKED S&W 2ND MODEL SCHOFIELD SINGLE ACTION TOP BREAK REVOLVER.

Lot # 2246 (Sale Order: 157 of 374)      

Manufactured 1876 with an approximate 5,934 made in this model, most of which being purchased for the US military. The Schofield revolvers were issued to such active units as the 4th, 9th, and 10th Cavalry, and subsequently found themselves in use in the American West. The 4th Cavalry was involved in Geronimo's capture. The 9th and 10th Cavalry were part of the legendary "Buffalo Soldiers". 7" barrel chambered in .45 Smith & Wesson with blade front sight pinned to barrel rib and rear sight integral to barrel latch. The military requested that Smith and Wesson chamber the Schofields in the then standard issue .45 Colt, which was too long to function in these revolvers. Smith and Wesson instead requested to design a cartridge that was .45 caliber and would work in both the Schofields and the Colt Single Action Army, which the US military then accepted. 2 piece walnut grips bearing "CW" cartouche on right grip panel with "JRJr." cartouche on left grip panel. Additional markings include 1876 date on left grip panel and US mark on butt. Cylinder and butt have matching serial numbers. Grips are numbered 5339 on inside of right grip panel. Martial sub inspector markings can be seen at bottom flat of ejector housing and rear face of cylinder. CONDITION: Excellent for its age, with barrel retaining bright traces of original bluing, mostly covered in light brown patina. Cylinder and frame retain a vast majority of their original bluing with patina beginning to form on handled edges. Traces of original case colors in protected areas of trigger guard, and bright colors on hammer. Firing pin hole appears to have been fired very little if at all. Grips are excellent with cartouches crisp and no major signs of distress. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is bright with sharp rifling, possibly only test fired.
