Lot # 1312 (Sale Order: 310 of 353)      

Extremely fine PPK manufactured by Walther in 1939 featuring party leader grips.

Right side of slide bears a horizontal "(Crown)/ N" commercial nitro proof, which is also present on the chamber and barrel. Metal components exhibit a lustrous high polish blue finish, while the frame is mounted with 2-piece checkered brown plastic party leader grips that feature an eagle atop a wreathed swastika. Magazine features a brown plastic bottom that matches the grips. Pistol is accompanied by a brown leather holster that bears a "D.R.G.M." stamp above the Akah logo on the breakaway flap, a matching eagle atop a wreathed swastika above a small "JHR" stamp on the exterior of the flap, and a partially legible "Walther/ P.P.K." ink stamp on the interior of the flap. This example is accompanied by 1 spare magazine (in the holster), an NSDAP armband, and a Fire Brigade, First Class cross pin, which was awarded for bravery or special merit. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with metal components retaining nearly all of their original factory blue finish, exhibiting some modest holster wear on the slide, some very light spots of edge wear overall, and a small concentrated spot of wear on the trigger guard. Brilliant mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well-defined rifling throughout. Grips are excellent, exhibiting some very light smoothing, a couple of minute nicks to the diamonds, and a single small crack on either side of the screw slot. Holster is very good, the leather malleable and the stampings sharp, with some scattered spots of wear, some handling marks, and some very mild age-related cracking on the flap. An extremely fine example of a Walther PPK with party leader grips that the discerning collector would find extremely difficult to upgrade from.

Lot # 1321 (Sale Order: 319 of 353)      

Large sized, American retailed, Sheffield made Bowie. This knife was sold by William Jackson & Co., Sheaf Iron Works and marketed as their "Rio Grande Camp Knife". Widely popular during the Civil War, this style of knife by this maker was used in the assassination attempt on Secretary of State William Seward by Lewis Payne on the night of April 14, 1865. George Foster Robinson, Sergeant of Co. B of the 8th Regiment of Maine Infantry, was detailed as an attending nurse to Seward, who had been injured in a riding accident. When Lewis Payne (a.k.a. Powell) burst into the bedroom of the Secretary of State armed with a large Bowie knife, Robinson tackled and disarmed the assassin, thus successfully thwarting the assassination attempt. The knife was used as evidence in the trial of conspirators. After the trial, Robinson asked the War Department to give him the knife as a souvenir, which he received from the War Department in 1866 in recognition of his valor. This example measures 14" overall with a 9" blade. Ricasso is marked "Wm. JACKSON & CO. SHEAF/ ISLAND WORKS, SHEFFIELD". German silver cross guard with pinned stag handle. Crossguard is owner stamped in small letters on one side: "F.E. Becker". CONDITION: Blade is overall grey-to-black mossing. Edges have been sharpened. Handle and cross have nice patinated look. Leather scabbard with several old repairs. Blade Length: 8 - 3/4" Overall Length: 14"
