RAMPANT COLT BRONZE PRESENTED TO DICK BURDICK BY THE COLT COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION.

Lot # 1182 (Sale Order: 101 of 301)      

There is perhaps no other firearm trademark more iconic or striking as the Rampant Colt, associated with the brand since the 1850s. The magnificent representation in bronze after Thomas Palmerton boldly showcases a lifelike rearing colt with broken lances through his mouth and between his front legs standing on the Colt dome. Mounted to a hardwood base, this example was presented by the Colt Collectors Association "TO RICHARD "DICK" BURDICK / IN APPRECIATION OF HIS SERVICE TO THE COLT COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION / SERVING ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR 16 YEARS AND 12 OF THOSE YEARS AS OUR TREASURER / 1987 - 2003". The base is also mounted with additional award plaques for Best Rampant Colt Articles presented at the 1998 CCA Denver Show, 2007 CCA Reno Show, and 2010 CCA Tulsa Show. CONDITION: Very good overall. Bronze displays a rich toned patina throughout with some minor verdigris around the mouth. Base is fine, one presentation plate starting to separate with areas of discoloration. A stunning bronze and wonderful memorial to Dick Burdick's many contributions to Colt collecting. PROVENANCE: Richard "Dick" Burdick collection. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

(C) WINCHESTER 1894 LEVER ACTION RIFLE IN .30 WCF OWNED BY TOM RYNNING, A ROUGH RIDER AT SAN JUAN HI

Lot # 1204 (Sale Order: 123 of 301)      

According to an included copy of an affidavit signed by Daryl Dwyers, this rifle belonged to Tom Rynning, a famed member of the Arizona Rangers, Rough Riders, and a U.S. Marshal. Rynning was born in Norway and immigrated with his parents in 1868, at the age of 2, when the family settled in Wisconsin. In 1885, Rynning enlisted in the 8th Cavalry regiment and participated in the Indian Wars, serving under Sheridan against the Cheyenne before transferring to the Arizona Territory, where he served under Fountain and fought in the Apache Wars, including being present when Leonard Wood captured Geronimo. Rynning then rode to Dakota and fought in the Ghost Dance War before he was honorably discharged in 1891. After the Indian Wars, he settled in Tucson, Arizona, and became a building contractor. In 1898 Leonard Wood, whom Rynning knew and was friends with, was raising soldiers for a volunteer cavalry regiment for the Spanish-American War, and Rynning joined as a private in the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, known as the Rough Riders. He fought at San Juan Heights, where he assumed field command of the Americans after Captain O'Neill was shot in the head, leading the Rough Riders up Kettle Hill, and ordering the waving of the regiment flag from the top of the hill (incidentally, that flag is now preserved in the state capitol building in Phoenix, Arizona), and then joining Roosevelt on the charge up San Juan Hill. After the war, another Rough Rider, Alexander Brodie, was elected governor of Arizona, and appointed Rynning as the new captain of the Arizona Rangers after the resignation of Burton Mossman. As the captain of the Rangers, Rynning was involved in the Clifton and Morenci riots, the Cananea Strike, and the 1906 raid of Partido Liberal Mexicano, which uncovered weapon caches intended for raids into Mexico. He resigned from captaincy in 1907, and President Taft appointed him to the position of Superintendent of the Yuma Territorial Prison, which Rynning immediately abandoned in favor of beginning construction of the Prison Complex at Florence, which is still in use. He was removed as superintendent in 1912 by a new governor, George Hunt, and was reinstated by Hunt's successor, Edward Campbell, in 1921. He would later move to San Diego, where he became a deputy marshal in 1934, and served as undersheriff before dying in 1941. He was buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, where his tombstone still stands. The rifle was made in 1921 and is fit with a blued 20" nickel steel round barrel with pinned blade front sight and standard rear sight. Chambered in .30 W.C.F. with full magazine. Barrel with typical legends. Blued solid saddle ring frame with blued loading gate and plain trigger. Shotgun style butt with smooth steel buttplate and matching plain walnut forearm. CONDITION: Overall good. 90% original factory barrel finish with light usage wear and random handling marks. Action has faded to a silvery patina with traces of blue left on the loading gate, lever, hammer, and bolt. 80% original stock varnish with usage dings and marks; most offensive at toe. Good mechanics, bright bore with visible rifling. PROVENANCE: Accompanied by a binder with copies of photos of Rynning, copy of aforementioned affidavit signed by Daryl Dwyers and witnessed by Captain Gerald Rowe, attesting that this gun, listed by serial number, was purchased and used by Rynning. Dwyers relates some history as well, some of which does not suit the provided dates (the gun was manufactured too late for Rynning to have used as an Arizona Ranger, and the Rangers disbanded in 1909, making it impossible for him to have been a tracker for them after he was Superintendent) but may just be misremembering family stories told to him. Dwyers states that the Winchester was given to his mother, Rynning's daughter, who then passed it to him, and Rynning was turning overship over to "Sgt. Taylor, making it his property and do hereby disclaim ownership of it." Other contents include various scans of books, newspapers, and printouts of webpages discussing Rynning. PROVENANCE: Ex. Dick Burdick, Ex. Schreiner collections. Barrel Length: 20" Caliber/Bore: .30 WCF FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1894 Paperwork: Binder of Information Serial Number: 907683

In 1885, Rynning enlisted in the 8th Cavalry regiment and participated in the Indian Wars, serving under Sheridan against the Cheyenne before transferring to the Arizona Territory, where he served under Fountain and fought in the Apache Wars, including being present when Leonard Wood captured Geronimo. Rynning then rode to Dakota and fought in the Ghost Dance War before he was honorably discharged in 1891. After the Indian Wars, he settled in Tucson, Arizona, and became a building contractor. In 1898 Leonard Wood, whom Rynning knew and was friends with, was raising soldiers for a volunteer cavalry regiment for the Spanish-American War, and Rynning joined as a private in the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, known as the Rough Riders. He fought at San Juan Heights, where he assumed field command of the Americans after Captain O'Neill was shot in the head, leading the Rough Riders up Kettle Hill, and ordering the waving of the regiment flag from the top of the hill (incidentally, that flag is now preserved in the state capitol building in Phoenix, Arizona), and then joining Roosevelt on the charge up San Juan Hill. After the war, another Rough Rider, Alexander Brodie, was elected governor of Arizona, and appointed Rynning as the new captain of the Arizona Rangers after the resignation of Burton Mossman. As the captain of the Rangers, Rynning was involved in the Clifton and Morenci riots, the Cananea Strike, and the 1906 raid of Partido Liberal Mexicano, which uncovered weapon caches intended for raids into Mexico. He resigned from captaincy in 1907, and President Taft appointed him to the position of Superintendent of the Yuma Territorial Prison, which Rynning immediately abandoned in favor of beginning construction of the Prison Complex at Florence, which is still in use. He was removed as superintendent in 1912 by a new governor, George Hunt, and was reinstated by Hunt's successor, Edward Campbell, in 1921. He would later move to San Diego, where he became a deputy marshal in 1934, and served as undersheriff before dying in 1941. He was buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, where his tombstone still stands. The rifle was made in 1921 and is fit with a blued 20" nickel steel round barrel with pinned blade front sight and standard rear sight. Chambered in .30 W.C.F. with full magazine. Barrel with typical legends. Blued solid saddle ring frame with blued loading gate and plain trigger. Shotgun style butt with smooth steel buttplate and matching plain walnut forearm. CONDITION: Overall good. 90% original factory barrel finish with light usage wear and random handling marks. Action has faded to a silvery patina with traces of blue left on the loading gate, lever, hammer, and bolt. 80% original stock varnish with usage dings and marks; most offensive at toe. Good mechanics, bright bore with visible rifling. PROVENANCE: Accompanied by a binder with copies of photos of Rynning, copy of aforementioned affidavit signed by Daryl Dwyers and witnessed by Captain Gerald Rowe, attesting that this gun, listed by serial number, was purchased and used by Rynning. Dwyers relates some history as well, some of which does not suit the provided dates (the gun was manufactured too late for Rynning to have used as an Arizona Ranger, and the Rangers disbanded in 1909, making it impossible for him to have been a tracker for them after he was Superintendent) but may just be misremembering family stories told to him. Dwyers states that the Winchester was given to his mother, Rynning's daughter, who then passed it to him, and Rynning was turning overship over to "Sgt. Taylor, making it his property and do hereby disclaim ownership of it." Other contents include various scans of books, newspapers, and printouts of webpages discussing Rynning. PROVENANCE: Ex. Dick Burdick, Ex. Schreiner collections. Barrel Length: 20" Caliber/Bore: .30 WCF FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1894 Paperwork: Binder of Information Serial Number: 907683

(C) RUSSIAN CONTRACT COLT 1911 SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH SWEDISH HOLSTER.

Lot # 1206 (Sale Order: 125 of 301)      

Shipped in June 1916 as per factory letter from Colt. Russia funneled most of the purchases through Britain, which were marked in Cyrillic on the dust cover; this gun is not marked as such and the letter indicates shipment straight to Russia. Half-moon front sight, U notch flat top rear sight. 2 line 2 block patent dates and Colt information on left side of slide, no Rampant Colt observed. There is a small British broad arrow proof on the inside of the slide, near the firing pin channel. Right side of slide with "COLT AUTOMATIC / CALIBRE 45". Barrel is only marked with an illegible stamp in front of lug, looks like it may be a "T". Frame with "GOVERNMENT MODEL / C 42087". Checkered spur hammer, left side only safety with relief mill cut, slide release with relief mill cut, and magazine release. Short 1911 grip safety, flat smooth mainspring housing with lanyard loop. 2-piece truncated diamond walnut grips. 2-tone magazine with lanyard loop. These rare guns were shipped into Murmansk and Archangel before distribution to Russian forces; beyond that little of their history is known, however, there is one account that a 1911 was used to kill the Romanovs. Accompanied by a Swedish Lahti holster that has clearly been with this gun for some time. CONDITION: Good, with evidence of a chemical homogenization throughout, mixed with what appears to be the original blue in protected areas. Scattered areas of oxidation and heavy use such as under slide release, rear of frame, normal for these guns. Grip straps are essentially silver, with silvering to high edges and towards muzzle consistent with holster use. Bore with strong rifling and frosting in grooves. Holster is very good, supple, with some crazing to leather and 1 belt strap replaced, but stitching is tight and serviceable.
