(A) Rare & Desirable No. 2 Belt Model Paterson Colt Cased in Original Very Fine Paterson Case.

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 94)      

Paterson Colts are second only to Walkers in importance, desirability and collectibility. Paterson No. 335 is the earliest gun in Dr. Feldman's collection and begins this catalog. The barrel retains nearly all of its original bright Paterson factory bluing with extremely fine pitting at the muzzle which was left bright. Cylinder retains much original bluing with excellent centaur scene. Bore is fine for a Paterson. Hammer retains considerable traces of original case colors. Frame retains considerable original bright blue. Backstrap retains much original blue with some thinning and browning. Original figured walnut grip has most of its original varnish. Deeply struck serial No. 335 at base of grip. One insignificant score on right side of grip. All visible numbers match with the exception of an unnumbered wedge, which is an original Paterson wedge. Case would rate excellent for a Paterson with a German silver escutcheon engraved "J. A. ROSS". Spare cylinder also numbered 335 has most original fading blue finish with excellent scene and three minor dents on rim at face of cylinder and one broken nipple. Bullet mold has some original bluing, wood handles are original and slightly worn. Combination tool shows use but has some blue and is original. Cleaning rod of the correct type with turned ivory handle. Charger is fine, marked "Patent Arms M'g Company Paterson NJ Colt's Pt", and has strong traces of original coppering on body and considerable original bright gilding; numbered 35 on spout and body. Capper is an old copy that appears original. This is an extremely fine No. 2 Belt Model Paterson which Dr. Feldman purchased from the estate of Johnny Miller of Palm Springs, California and was one of the great prizes in Mr. Miller's extensive collection of Colts and Winchesters. Accessories: Case, Bullet mold, Charger, Capper, Capping tool, Cleaning Mold, Extra cylinder Barrel Length: 4 - 5/8" Caliber/Bore: .31 Percussion Manufacturer: Colt Model: Paterson No. 2 Paperwork: No Serial Number: 335

(A) Superb Cased First Model Colt Root Revolver Serial No. 16 Elaborately & Finely Factory Engraved

Lot # 19 (Sale Order: 19 of 94)      

One of the finest and certainly one of the rarest Colt Root revolvers known, serial number 16 is an icon. First Model Roots are extremely rare in their own right but the beautiful and elaborate scroll engraving on serial number 16 places it in its own category. Barrel and frame retain much original bright blue finish. Cylinder has turned to brown patina but still has crisp cylinder scene and Colt's patent etching. Walnut grips retain most of the original varnish. The engraving involves a characteristic monster or dog on left side of frame spewing scrolls from its mouth. A similar monster appears on the right side of the frame, and a third on the back strap. The hammer is beautifully engraved and checkered, featuring eight dots on the saddle of the hammer; thought to represent eight days of engraving work. A French fitted rosewood case is of the vertical lid type with flask, mold, screwdriver and Hicks cap box. The wine red lining is faded but the case is in overall fine condition. This splendid revolver was once part of the legendary Jerry Berger Collection of Colts; sold at Christie’s on October 7, 1981 and is pictured on pages 152 and 153 of that catalog. According to the author of the catalog, legendary Colt expert R.L. Larry Wilson, "This is the side hammer Type 1 (175 produced), of which No. 16 is the finest known example. The decoration surpasses that found on Nos. 10234 and 9126 presented to Colonel Colt to ... the Grand Dukes Micheal and Constantine." Number 16 is the most important Colt Root revolver to be offered for sale in many years. Accessories: Case, Bullet mold, Powder flask, Caps tin, Tool Barrel Length: 3 - 3/8" Caliber/Bore: .28 FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Colt Model: Root Pistol No. 1 Paperwork: No Serial Number: 16
