Lot # 2118 (Sale Order: 29 of 374)      

Also known as the Flieger Selbstlader Karibiner 1916 (Fliers Self Loading Carbine 1916), the Mauser Model 1916 was manufactured in a single run of less than 1,000 total rifles for the German Air Corps during World War I. Primarily issued to zeppelin and observation troops, Mauser's Model 1916 was quickly replaced in German service by the Mondragon rifle, as a result of issues with reliability in the field and the rifle's high manufacturing cost. This example is stamped "Waffenfabrik Mauser A.G. Oberndorf a.N. Mauser's Patent 1916" on the left side of the receiver, with the serial number "S489K" stamped over the chamber. Left side of receiver at chamber bears an Imperial German Reichsadler above the caliber designation "7,90". All visible internal and exterior numbers are matching via the 3 digits "489", with the magazine being numbered "442". Stock has been refinished at one point in time, exhibiting a brown paint overall. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining the majority of their original blue finish, exhibiting areas of light wear and thinning showing through to a pleasant brown patina, some scattered spots of light surface oxidation, as well as some scattered small spots of inactive surface oxidation. Buttplate has been cleaned and polished, but is otherwise fine. Mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well defined lands and grooves throughout. Stock is excellent as refinished, retaining virtually all of its applied brown painted finish and exhibiting few minor marks from storage and handling overall. A seldom encountered opportunity for one to add an exceptionally scarce German World War I semi-automatic rifle to their collection.

(C) EXTRAORDINARY ITALIAN INTERWAR CARCANO M91TS CARBINE WITH INTEGRAL TROMBONCINO M28 SIDE-MOUNTED

Lot # 2120 (Sale Order: 31 of 374)      

A unique take on a now common place attachment, the Italian military sought to increase the overall firepower of their special forces troops, particularly when fighting in close range engagements, culminating in the design and production of the 38.5mm M28 Tromboncino grenade launcher. As compared to the then-conventional idea of a detachable grenade cup, the M28 Tromboncino is, in many senses, a precursor to the contemporary grenade launcher, albeit being permanently affixed to the right side of the carbine. The M91TS's trigger mechanism was connected to both the carbine and the launcher, with the operator having to swap the bolt from the carbine to the launcher in order to fire. Due to the weight, cost, and cumbersome operation of the M28, its production was terminated in 1934, with many of the modified carbines being converted back into the standard M91TS configuration. This example, having been manufactured in 1929 is stamped "GARDONE/ V.T./ 1929-VII" over the chamber, with the serial number "A534" stamped on the left flat. Left side of barrel is stamped "MADE IN ITALY". Left side of buttstock bears a 1929 dated Terni arsenal cartouche, with a small encircled "LP" cartouche present ahead of the wrist. Matching numbers are present on the chamber, buttstock, as well as on an additional 3 places on the bottom of the grenade launcher. CONDITION: Metal components retain the majority of their arsenal blue finish, exhibiting some nicks and scratches, small scattered areas of wear, protected areas of what appears to be vintage cosmoline, as well as some spots of mild surface oxidation overall. Excellent bore, exhibiting well defined rifling throughout. Interior of grenade launcher tube is excellent. Stock shows some scattered dings, impressions, and nicks overall from storage and handling, but is otherwise fine. A seldom encountered opportunity for one to acquire an exceptionally scarce inter-War Italian M91TS fitted with a matching M28 Trombocino grenade launcher.

(C) SCARCE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAGOYA ARSENAL SERIES I TYPE 97 BOLT ACTION SNIPER

Lot # 2121 (Sale Order: 32 of 374)      

Infamous amongst U.S.G.I.'s fighting in the Pacific Theater campaign, the Type 97 proved an effective weapon in the hands of Japanese snipers, who frequently were camouflaged in palm trees. Due to the 6.5x50mmSR ammunition that the Type 97s were chambered for, little muzzle flash or smoke was produced, making it extremely difficult for G.I.s to locate a sniper's position. This example, manufactured at the Nagoya arsenal, bears the Nagoya arsenal emblem above a Series I stamp, followed by the serial number on the left side of the receiver. Top of the receiver bears Kanji stampings stipulating the model designation "Type 97" over the chamber. Chrysanthemum has been ground. Metal components are blued, with the stock and upper handguard being comprised of wood. Left side of receiver is mounted with a proper 2.5x scope. Rifle is fitted with a brown leather sling that features brass accoutrements. Rifle is matching, with matching numbers including the receiver, front barrel band / bayonet lug, floorplate, bolt handle, safety knob, as well as the firing pin. Scope does not match and is numbered "12843". CONDITION: Metal components retain the majority of their original arsenal applied blue finish, exhibiting some areas of wear and thinning showing through to gray patina, as well as a couple small spots of cleaned oxidation overall. Mirror bore, exhibiting well defined rifling throughout. Stock shows some scattered dings and handling marks, but is otherwise fine. Optic is very good, showing some small black specks, but otherwise retains a sharp image. Sling is excellent, with the leather still being malleable and exhibiting mild age related cracking overall. An exceptional example of an infamous Imperial Japanese sniper rifle that will make for an excellent addition to the advanced Imperial Japanese or sniper rifle enthusiasts collection. From the Personal Collection of Esteemed Firearms Researcher and Collector Edwin F. Libby.

Lot # 2122 (Sale Order: 33 of 374)      

Unique among Mosin Nagant variations, the vz.54 combined features found both on 91/30 and Mauser pattern rifles, creating a extremely intriguing sniper that was utilized by the Czechoslovakian National Army until the adoption of the Dragunov (SVD) during the 1970s.

(C) EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 1941 TROOP TRIALS WALTHER "PUSH BUTTON" G41(W) SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE.

Lot # 2123 (Sale Order: 34 of 374)      

One of only 5,000 G41(W) rifles manufactured by Walther for testing during the 1941 Heerswaffenamt troop trials. These rifles directly competed with Mauser's G41(M) design, which ironically lost to the G41(W) despite fulfilling the Heerswaffenamt's specifications for the new service rifle. This example is stamped "G.41(W)" on the left side of the receiver followed by the serial number "4641", Walther's "ac" code, as well as an eagle firing proof. Right side of receiver bears 2 Walther "(Eagle) / 359" waffenamts. Stock exhibits several faint "(Eagle) / 359" waffenamts on the left side and underside of the buttstock. Metal components are blued, with the receiver being mounted with a solid wood stock and a brown pressed resin upper handguard. Left side of stock exhibits a checkered "push button" bolt release, which is only found on very early production G41(W) rifles. All numbers are matching and include the receiver, rear sight assembly, barrel bands, pressed resin upper handguard, muzzle assembly, barrel, op rod, trigger guard, trigger, bolt assembly (including bolt flaps and firing pin), and the buttplate. Stock bears no serial number. Bayonet lug is of contemporary manufacture, appearing to have been produced from a cut K98k bayonet lug, with extra material added and filed to fit. Cleaning rod is present. CONDITION: Metal components retain fair to good amounts of their original arsenal applied blue finish, as is to be expected from a trials rifle, exhibiting thinning overall that shows through to gray patina, as well as some spots of age related discoloration. Bore exhibits moderate inactive oxidation and retains strong, well defined rifling throughout. Stock shows numerous dings, nicks, and impressions from handling and storage, but is otherwise sturdy and serviceable. Bakelite upper handguard shows some nicks and marks, but is otherwise fine. An exceptionally rare 1941 trials G41(W) for the discerning German World War II collector.

(C) SCARCE SMITH AND WESSON MK1 MODEL 1940 LIGHT RIFLE WITH ACCESSORIES.

Lot # 2124 (Sale Order: 35 of 374)      

In 1939, with the Second World War clearly on the horizon, Britain contracted with Smith & Wesson to develop a light rifle chambered in 9mm Parabellum as an intermediary between their handguns and full size .303 arms. Trials began in 1940 with little success, after only 1,000 rounds of the hotly loaded English ammunition, stress cracks formed in some of the receivers. A Mark II was developed with a reinforced receiver to little avail, with Britain ending the program and destroying their stocks of the innovative rifles. American interest also proved limited due to the nonstandard 9mm chambering. Smith & Wesson retained a small portion of the 2,200 rifles produced but did not initially sell them on the civilian market due to their then NFA short barrel status. In 1975 the surviving 137 MK I and 80 MK II rifles were exempted from NFA regulation and sold to collectors. This fine example of a Mark I Light Rifle serial number "216" remains in its original configuration with blued finish throughout. Standard fluted 9 - 3/4" barrel with blade front sight and adjustable square notch rear sight. Receiver bears 2-line address and iconic "S&W" monogram logo. Pistol grip stock is black composite with a blued serrated steel butt plate. Rifle is complete with what appears to be the original 1975 shipping carton, 5 total magazines, correct leather sling, unattached metal safety plate reading "EXTREMELY / HAZARDOUS / DO NOT / LOAD OR FIRE", original manual, oiler, and barrel wrench. CONDITION: Excellent. Rifle retains bountiful amounts of factory applied blued finish showing some superficial marks mostly on the magazine housing. Excellent mirror bore displaying razor sharp rifling. Mechanically fine. A fine example of a very scarce World War II rifle with hard to find original accessories.

(C) SCARCE VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS PEDERSEN SELFLOADING RIFLE WITH LOADED EN BLOC CLIP & UNOPENED BOX OF

Lot # 2125 (Sale Order: 36 of 374)      

After the conclusion of World War I, the U.S. Army began showing interest in the development of adopting a new semi-automatic rifle that was chambered in a cartridge that was not excessively powerful like the .30-06 Springfield cartridge. While Pedersen's newly designed rifle and cartridge were initially praised by the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps Semi-Automatic Board, it ultimately was rejected in favor of John Garand's T1 design. The U.S. military's consideration of the rifle sparked interest from the British, who, in conjunction with Pedersen and Vickers-Armstrongs LTD., manufactured a couple hundred rifles before rejection and the subsequent termination of production. This Infantry Model was among the couple of hundred produced in the United Kingdom and is stamped "PEDERSEN SELFLOADER PA / VICKERS / STRONGS LTD." on the left side of the receiver, with the serial number "106" present on the right side. The top of the receiver exhibits an encircled "C / 2" stamp. Top of toggle trains bear 2 indiscernible British proofs, which are also present on the left side of the receiver. The first half of the barrel features deep spiral grooved cooling veins, located beneath a steel perforated barrel shroud, with the latter half of the barrel exhibiting smooth traditional machining to the muzzle. Stock is comprised of solid walnut and featuring grasping grooves as well as ventilation holes on the underside of the forend for additional cooling. The action is very reminiscent of the Luger pistols, and is loading via a 10-round en bloc clip, which exhibits similarities to the M1 Garand's en bloc design. Rear sight assembly is not present. Rifle is accompanied by an unopened box of Frankford Arsenal .276 Pedersen ammunition containing 20 cartridges, 1 empty box of Frankford Arsenal Pedersen ammunition (missing the top flap), 1 Pedersen en bloc magazine containing 10 rounds of ammunition, as well as 3 additional rounds of loose ammunition. CONDITION: Metal components retain good amounts of their original factory applied blue finish, exhibiting wear and thinning with the balance exhibiting a brown patina overall, as well as some areas that exhibiting a thin layer of hardened grease. Interior components retain an ample amount of old grease. Excellent bore, exhibiting well defined lands and grooves throughout. Stock exhibits scattered marks, nicks, and minor impressions from storage and handling, but is otherwise fine. Unopened ammunition box exhibits some mild exterior wear, but is otherwise fine. Opened box shows some losses to the paper label. En bloc magazine is fine. A nice example of a scarce and desirable Vickers-Armstrong Pedersen Self-loading rifle. PROVENANCE: From the Personal Collection of Esteemed Firearms Researcher and Collector Edwin F. Libby.

(M) EXTREMELY SCARCE AND DESIRABLE IMI GALIL TZALAFIM "GALATZ" SEMI-AUTOMATIC SNIPER RIFLE WITH NUMB

Lot # 2129 (Sale Order: 40 of 374)      

Adopted by the IDF in 1983, the Galatz (a contraction of Galil Tzalafim, Hebrew for "Galil Sniper"), served as a squad level designated marksman's rifle, similar in doctrine to the Russian Dragunov and later Knight's Armament M110 SASS. The Galatz had several modifications to enhance accuracy and make is suitable to the new role including a heavy barrel, 2-stage trigger, and more ergonomic buttstock with cheekpiece. Combination muzzle brake and flash hider with 15 ports and 4 slots. Front sight is a protected post front sight with hole in top of ring to adjust sight; flip-up night sight with tritium vial (depleted). Rear sight is a combination buckhorn style flip sight and an aperture with one ring marked "3" and another marked "5", for 300 and 500 yards respectively. Left side of receiver with scope mount point, designed to hold to scope slightly offset the receiver, still allowing the shooter access to the iron sights; scope mount is appropriately numbered to match the gun and is mounted with a correct Nimrod scope. Left side of receiver also marked with vertical serial number and "SN.R. GALIL 7.62 X 51 / IMI / ISRAEL", and thumb safety with "F S" marks. Right side with AK style safety also marked "S F" for fire control, and bolt carrier with external knurled charging handle. Bolt carrier visible marked "17" and receiver marked "05 X" in front of charging handle. Bipod that folds into forearm. Sling loop on gas block and on toe line of side folding stock. Rear sight island marked "4849" on left side. Waffle recoil pad. A previous owner obviously cared deeply about the condition of this rifle as strategic felt pads have been placed on cheekpiece, bipod feet, and bipod cutouts in forearm to prevent nicking. CONDITION: Overall excellent, retaining virtually all of the military matte finish with some very minor marks from handling and storage. Barrel is slightly lighter in color than receiver and closer to parkerization than a matte black, with a few more marks than balance of gun. Some verdigris from use is visible in flash hider slots and compensator holes. Stock is excellent with some very light marks. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent, bright and shiny, with crisp rifling. These rifles are extremely rare in the United States, with some sources speculating that the number present is sub 20. A rare opportunity to acquire an Israeli sniper rifle. EMW Barrel Length: 20" Caliber/Bore: 7.62x51mm FFL Status: Modern Manufacturer: IMI Model: Galil Galatz Serial Number: 9-2084849

Lot # 2130 (Sale Order: 41 of 374)      

The P-14 was extremely well regarded rifle for World War I, but by the time that the optic was approved in 1918, the War was a scant 7 months from ending, preventing widespread use. Post-War, the British kept a number in stock but dispersed the rest to Commonwealth colonies, including approximately 75 rifles with scopes that were furnished to the Irish Free State in the 1930s, which this one was. Classic configuration of the P14 MKI W T with 3 piece stock, blade front sight protected by ears, volley sights disk present on left side of stock (actual sight missing) with a "(Crown) / J1" proof in the divot, correct British proofs on left side of receiver, aperture rear sight with flip-up adjustable ladder. Matching serial numbers observed on bolt, receiver, and scope. Barrel is marked on shank with "'17" indicating 1917 date, matching serial number, and various English proofs. BSA Model 1918 3x scope with B.S.A's triple rifle mark, mounted in rings, front with dual claws and rear with single claw, with brass objective bell, elevation knob, and focus ring. Importantly for the identification of these guns is the "FF" mark for Fianna Fail on the scope mount. Finger groove stock with semi-pistol grip, blank stock disc on right side of stock. Leather bikini scope caps and attached cloth sling. CONDITION: Overall very good as arsenal reworked for Ireland. Retains virtually all of the arsenal bluing with some silvering to high edges throughout, most noticeable on front sight protectors and claw mount release. Bluing has some minor patina coming through the bluing and some minor spotting. Stock is good with numerous handling marks and impressions throughout as befits a service rifle. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with strong rifling and some light frosting in grooves. These Irish rifles are becoming exceptionally difficult to find and this is a very good all matching example.

Classic configuration of the P14 MKI W T with 3 piece stock, blade front sight protected by ears, volley sights disk present on left side of stock (actual sight missing) with a "(Crown) / J1" proof in the divot, correct British proofs on left side of receiver, aperture rear sight with flip-up adjustable ladder. Matching serial numbers observed on bolt, receiver, and scope. Barrel is marked on shank with "'17" indicating 1917 date, matching serial number, and various English proofs. BSA Model 1918 3x scope with B.S.A's triple rifle mark, mounted in rings, front with dual claws and rear with single claw, with brass objective bell, elevation knob, and focus ring. Importantly for the identification of these guns is the "FF" mark for Fianna Fail on the scope mount. Finger groove stock with semi-pistol grip, blank stock disc on right side of stock. Leather bikini scope caps and attached cloth sling. CONDITION: Overall very good as arsenal reworked for Ireland. Retains virtually all of the arsenal bluing with some silvering to high edges throughout, most noticeable on front sight protectors and claw mount release. Bluing has some minor patina coming through the bluing and some minor spotting. Stock is good with numerous handling marks and impressions throughout as befits a service rifle. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with strong rifling and some light frosting in grooves. These Irish rifles are becoming exceptionally difficult to find and this is a very good all matching example.

(C) BRITISH ENFIELD L42A1 BOLT ACTION SNIPER RIFLE WITH TRANSIT CHEST & ACCESSORIES.

Lot # 2132 (Sale Order: 43 of 374)      

The L42A1 was the last sniper rifle of its kind before the British replaced it with the now-legendary L96 developed by Accuracy International. The L42A1 was essentially a continuation of the No.4 (T) that served so admirably during World War II and converted to 7.62x51mm. There had been some experimentation with converting No. 4s to 7.62x51mm, but they were abandoned. While the military struggled, competition shooters at Bisley had managed to successfully achieve the conversion, hacking off the forearm down to a sporter length and utilizing a heavy profile barrel. The designers took note of the commercial successes and essentially duplicated the design, leading to the L42A1 in 1970. This example is one of the few L42A1s that survived the decommissioning process that the UK Ministry of Defense underwent when these guns were exchanged for the L96 and is correctly fit with the hammer forged barrel with protected post front sight and ladder aperture rear sight. Shortened forearm, and action converted over to 7.62x51 instead of .303. 4 groove cut rifling. Correct scope, renumbered to the new catalog number when they were converted from .303 calibrations to 7.62 calibrations, scope rings are correctly matching. Numerous proof marks throughout from the various conversions this rifle went to on the path to becoming an L42A1, including an M47C conversion code for B.S.A Shirley, 1944 date, TR code, wrist with insert reading "21655" matching the new number for the scope, with an X'd out series underneath it, now illegible. Small splice ahead of cheekpiece. Sling swivels at toe line and tip of forearm. Appropriate 19T proofs for 7.62x51mm ammo. Fitted with one original magazine. Housed in the appropriate wooden transit case with sheet metal case for scope (serial number matching to scope), bikini scope cover, user handbook, copy of an article by Garry James, 3 boxes of match ammunition (37 rounds of Lake City match with 3 fired cases, 20 rounds Federal; see Morphy T&C regarding ammo), and IWS mount. CONDITION: Overall very good plus as arsenal refinished. Retains virtually all of the arsenal blacking with some handling marks throughout, including some lifting of the enamel visible at bolt handling and some silvering, primarily to receiver, commensurate with use. Wood also excellent as arsenal refinished with some very minor handling marks; splices as aforementioned and one repair ahead of the sling swivel at toe line. Mechanically fine, bore is very good with sharp rifling and some minor oxidation in the groves. Accessories all very good with some appropriate age related distress. This is a nice example of a fine sniper rifle that saw action in the Falkland War, The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the Dhofar Rebellion.

(C) VERY RARE VIETNAM ERA USN REMINGTON M700 BOLT ACTION SNIPER RIFLE AWARDED AS A TROPHY RIFLE.

Lot # 2133 (Sale Order: 44 of 374)      

As the war in Vietnam progressed, the need for a new scout sniper rifle became evident, resulting in the adoption of a modified Remington 700 (M40) rifle with Redfield Accu-Range scope by the Marine Corps in 1966. In addition to the 995 purchased by the Marines, small numbers were also acquired by the Navy. According to Christopher Mitternight of the Naval Special Forces Warfare Center, only around 40 units were acquired by the USN, seeing use with the Navy Seals through the 1980s. Very few examples are known in circulation, with this example awarded as a trophy rifle in 2003 to distinguished naval shooter Kevin Glancey with included 2009 requisition paperwork. The rifle was originally manufactured by the Remington Custom Shop in 1969 bearing "WS" barrel date code. It features a free floated parkerized 24" medium-heavy profile barrel chambered in "7.62 NATO" as marked near the breech. Receiver is a parkerized short action with standard commercial "Remington / MODEL 700" markings in addition to a "U.S." stamp. Receiver is correctly cut with a stripper clip guide and an additional small cut out at the rear to aid in the ejection of the long 7.62 ammunition. Black oxide finished bolt marked on underside in electopencil with the full serial number. Plain oil finished walnut stock mounted with parkerized sling swivels and a anodized checkered "Remington" butt plate. Rifle is equipped with a correct but non matching range finding Redfield Accu-Range 3-9x scope numbered in electrepencil "552587" and mounted via a Redfield bridge base. A similar M700 trophy rifle, serial number 6257207 (4 numbers off), is pictured on page 261 of "The One-Round War" by Peter Senich. CONDITION: Very good. Barrel and receiver retain bountiful amounts of their arsenal applied finish. Bolt finish starting to thin from use. Stock remains very good overall showing only superficial impressions. Scope has some nicks as would be expected with field use, retaining good optical clarity. Very fine bright bore displaying crisp rifling. Fine mechanics. An incredible, seldom seen sniper rifle for the advanced martial arms collector!
