U.S. Civil War Presentation Cane - 84th Illinois Infantry Regiment

Lot # 28

This original U.S. Civil War Era presentation can is inscribed on the handle - "PRESENTED TO ROBERT EVERETT BY COMRADES OF 84TH REGT ILL VOL". The following information i...mores Courtesy of the Western Illinois University Archives Department - Robert Everett was 47 years old when he joined the Union on Sept. 1, 1862, one of 19 men to sign up from Young America (Kirkwood). Most of the others in the IL 84th, Co. G were from Henderson County. A reasonable guess for him to sign up at that age was because his son James, 20, signed up as well. Robert was listed as a blacksmith prior to enlistment. He was stationed at Corps Headquarters most of the time. He kept the rank of private throughout the war and mustered out June 8, 1865, with his son and the remainder of the company. He died in 1902 at the age of 86 and is buried in the Center Grove Cemetery in Kirkwood, Illinois. Because of his age, it is reasonable to assume that he was regarded as a "father figure" to the younger men in this regiment. It is worth mentioning that an "Everett" from the Illinois 84th was listed as wounded during the Atlanta Campaign - no first name. The 84th saw a ton of action in some major battles including Stone's River, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta Campaign, Franklin and Nashville. This was a "battle hardened" group. The 84th Illinois Infantry was organized at Quincy, Illinois, and mustered into Federal service on September 1, 1862. The regiment was mustered out on June 8, 1865, in Nashville, Tennessee and discharged on June 16, 1865. Engagements: Battle of Perryville, Battle of Stone's River, Battle of Chickamauga, Siege of Chattanooga, Battle of Lookout Mountain, Battle of Missionary Ridge, Battle of Resaca, Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Siege of Atlanta, Battle of Franklin and Battle of Nashville. SPECS: This cane measures 37" in overall length with a gold/ gilded handle, wooden shaft, silver ferrule and steel tip. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This cane comes with a booklet of scanned information regarding Robert Everett and the 84th Illinois - Courtesy of Western Illinois University. Shipping Cost: $30.00, or free with any gun purchase, or free pick up.

1865 U.S. Burnside Contract - Spencer Model 1865 Carbine (20") .56-50, Rolling-Block, SN - 27280

Lot # 43

This Burnside Rifle Co. 1865 Contract Model Spencer Carbine was manufactured in circa 1865. On June 27, 1864, the Burnside Rifle Co. entered into a contract with the Ordn...moreance Dept. to manufacture about 30,500 Spencer Model carbines with deliveries completed by Aug. 31, 1865. With the changes directed to be made to the carbines, deliveries did not start until April 15, 1865, and they continued until the end of October, with 30,496 M1865 Spencer carbines being delivered. In total, the Burnside Company made just over 34,000 of this carbine. They paid Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. a royalty of 50 cents for each carbine delivered to the Ordnance Dept., and $1 was paid for the 4,000 Spencer carbines sold to military individuals and civilians. These carbines were used by the US Federal Cavalry after the close of the Civil War, primarily in the Indian Wars. MARKINGS: "SPENCER REPEATING RIFLE/ PAT’D MARCH 6, 1860/ MANUFACTURED AT PROV. R.I./ BY BURNSIDE RIFLE CO" on the top of the receiver, "27286" on the rear receiver tang, "J.L.C." (Joseph L. Cottle - U.S. Inspector) on the left side of the barrel at the breech and various sub-inspector stamps to include "C" (four stamps), "V", "P" (two stamps), "M". SPECS: 20" Round barrel, walnut stock with checkered forearm, adjustable folding tangent rear sight, saddle bar with ring, 7-round stock fed magazine tube, stabler cutoff and sling ring. CONDITION: This gun is showing age, but appears to be all original, in good working order with a two click action and has a sharp/ clean bore. HISTORY: Introduced in 1860, the Spencer rifle combined a rolling breech block with a seven-shot tubular magazine in the buttstock that was cycled with a lever action, a truly advanced design in an era where two to three shots per minute was the norm for a typical infantry muzzleloader. Christopher Spencer patented the design and commissioned prototypes of his rifle, with Connecticut ammunition makers Crittenden & Tibbals. The Civil War provided enormous opportunities for gunmakers, but the Army’s Ordnance Department was slow to embrace Spencer's new technology. In a December 9, 1861, letter from Union Brigadier-General James Ripley, Chief of Ordnance, to Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, Ripley opposed the adoption of the Spencer rifle for numerous reasons, including the ammunition. “I regard the weight of the arms with the loaded magazine as objectionable, and also the requirement of a special ammunition, rendering it impossible to use the arms with ordinary cartridges or with powder and ball.” The cost of the new rifle & carbines were also a contributing factor to the slow arrival of the Spencer Rifle on the battlefield. However, President Lincoln was in favor of the weapon, and in the fall of 1863, the first Model 1860 carbines were finally accepted by the Union, starting at about serial number 11,000. In 1863, the popular Springfield Model 1861 muzzleloading rifle cost less than $15.00, whereas the Spencer rifle cost up to $40.00, and the Henry repeating rifle retailed for $44.00. For reference, the average soldier’s pay at the time was less than $14.00 per month. Though bulk contracts could slightly reduce the price of Spencer rifles, the $25.00 price tag offered to the Ordnance Department for the first 7,500 Spencer carbines in late 1863 demonstrated why this model quickly became the standard, and outsold the Spencer rifle 8 to 1 by the war's end. The years after the Civil War saw the U.S. Cavalry assigned to various outposts on the frontier, and in 1866, four additional cavalry regiments were organized for frontier duty with the last two being the U.S. Ninth and 10th Cavalries, better known as “Buffalo Soldiers.” They, along with the rest of the Army, tried to maintain order and protect against hostile Indian attacks. The M1865 Spencer carbine was the standard in post-war service and remained in service into the middle 1870s.

1 OF 200 Walther PPK/S-1 Engraved By Gustav Ernst, 380 ACP, Semi-Auto, SN - 4109BAU

Lot # 48

These Special Edition pistols were the last 200 Walther PPK/S's made under contract by the S&W Houlton, Maine factory. These pistols were hand engraved by famous German E...morengraver Gustav Ernst. The stunning Germanic style Ernst pattern engravings on the stainless slide are centered with a gold deer on the left side. The grips are a walnut laminate with the Walther logo and a reflection of the slide design in the center. This pistol is #056 Of 200, which is marked on the right side of the frame. SPECS: 3.3" barrel, full stainless finish, round serrated hammer, serrated rib with dovetailed rear sight, rear slide serrations with thumb safety and comes with (2) 7-round magazines. Does not include box. CONDITION: This gun is in same-as-new condition with no wear, has a perfect sharp/ clean bore (possibly unfired) and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Walther PP (Police Pistol) is a blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol that was developed by the German arms manufacturer, Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen, and introduced in 1929. The Walther double-action Model PPK (Police Pistol - Detective Model) is a smaller version of the original Model PP with a shorter grip, barrel, frame, and reduced magazine capacity. The PP and the PPK were among the world's first successful double action semi-automatic pistols. The design inspired other pistols, among them the Soviet Makarov, the Hungarian FEG PA-63, the Polish P-64, the American Accu-Tek AT-380 II, and the Argentinian Bersa Thunder 380. The PP and PPK were both popular with European police and civilians for being reliable and concealable. During World War II, they were issued to the German military (officers), including the Luftwaffe, as well as the uniformed Ordnungspolizei and plain clothes detectives of the Kriminalpolizei. Adolf Hitler killed himself with his PPK (.32 ACP/7.65mm) in the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin, and secret agent James Bond used a Walther PPK in many of the novels and films. In 1952, Walther licensed the French firm Manurhin (Manufacture de Machines du Haut-Rhin), who was already suppling parts to Walther, to also manufacture the PP, PPK, and PPK/S. The PPK/S combines the PP's frame with the PPK's barrel and slide to create a pistol that weighed slightly more than the PPK which provided the extra weight needed for U.S. import laws.
