Rare Early Smith and Wesson Model 1899 Military and Police Hand Ejector Revolver

Lot # 5 (Sale Order: 5 of 697)      

Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 3,500
serial #23, 38 Special, 6 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is the earliest of the first-year production four-screw 1st Models and is in fantastic condition. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original blue with very light thinning on the backstrap with contact point and high edge wear, a few small lightly cleaned areas of oxidized pitting on the cylinder. The service hammer and trigger retain bold to lightly muted case-hardened colors overall with light operational wear and the trigger face worn to pewter.

Factory records indicate this beautiful K-frame was shipped to M.W. Robinson of New York City, New York on March 31, 1899. A beautiful low number 1st Model that would make a fine addition to any collection. (88840-99) {C&R} [Roy Jinks Collection]

Lovely Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot # 8 (Sale Order: 8 of 697)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,000
serial #249543, 25 ACP, 2'' barrel with fair bore showing moderate oxidation and evident rifling throughout. This attractive 1920-made pistol retains nearly 98-99% original nickel finish showing some scattered light scratches, a couple minor dings in the serrations on the left side slide, a tiny flake near the muzzle on the left side of the slide and some further minor handling marks. All of the markings including the Rampant Colt on the slide are crisp and clear. The factory mother-of-pearl grips with gold Colt medallions are un-numbered and remain in very good to very good plus condition showing a few tiny dings, scratches and a few thin cracks around the escutcheons. The backs of both grip panels are fitted with small black hard rubber spacers and the slide is matching the frame. Included is one original nickel-plated magazine in excellent condition, vintage cleaning brush and a worn factory box end-labeled for this model but a penciled number on the bottom that appears to read ''390914''. The box is in poor shape showing a number of detached flaps, tears and flaking. A small consignor tag in the box notes the pistol was shipped nickel-plated on April 5, 1920 to the Von Lengerke & Antoinne Company of Chicago but there is no formal documentation provided. Really a superb example for the Colt collector. (138952-29) {C&R}

Excellent Early Colt Model 1911 Civilian Government Model Semi-Auto Pistol

Excellent Early Colt Model 1911 Civilian Government Model Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot # 10 (Sale Order: 10 of 697)      

Low Estimate: 10,000High Estimate: 15,000
serial #C777, 45 ACP, 5'' barrel with an about good bore which shows evident rifling but with frosting and scattered light pitting its full-length. This is a lovely 1912-made pistol, its three-digit serial number no doubt marking it as the first few months of production. The slide retains perhaps 92-95% original charcoal oven blue, the sharp edges toning to pewter, with scattered very light flaking to plum and the expected light handling marks and small scratches that come from the years. The frame shows a bit more of its lovely original blue, with light high edge wear and pewter toning on the frontstrap, also with sparsely scattered light handling marks. The safety, slide stop and hammer retain strong brilliant niter blue, the trigger fading somewhat along its leading edges but very strong on its rear surfaces, the right side of the magazine release as well shows strong niter blue. All of the markings remain crisp and are of the correct style for a pistol this early. The diamond-checkered walnut grips rate about excellent, the right grip showing a few small dings in the upper diamond, each showing light wear to the points. Included is a nice two-tone lanyard loop keyhole magazine, the blue remaining nice, the upper section drifting to a pewter and plum. The barrel is unmarked but for a single capital letter ''N'' on its underside directly ahead of the barrel lugs, these early barrels merely having inspectors markings, and not the later-seen proof firing marks. There is a reassembly scratch present on the frame which continues up onto the slide, it does not detract from the lovely finish on the balance of the pistol. The original round top, shallow U-notch rear sight is intact as is the thin blade front sight. Really a fabulous example overall of a super early-production civilian government model pistol in a very seldom-encountered state of condition. (38751-28) {C&R}

Smith and Wesson Third Model Lady Smith Revolver

Smith and Wesson Third Model Lady Smith Revolver

Lot # 24 (Sale Order: 24 of 697)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #22341, 22 Long, 3'' barrel with a lightly oxidized and pitted bore. This lovely square butt ''perfected'' pistol remains in excellent condition with about 95% original blue. Most of the loss is to scattered light oxidation blemishes and pitting in addition to high edge wear, turn ring on the cylinder and a few other handling marks. The hammer and trigger show bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear and the face of the trigger starting to thin. The smooth walnut factory grips with gold S&W medallions are numbered to the gun and rate very good plus with scattered light handling marks. There is a tiny chip missing from the upper edge of the left panel above the medallion and a tiny shallow hole on the right panel. The gun still times and locks up correctly and all appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun. This little ''M'' frame remains in excellent condition and would be a great candidate to fill out or start your Lady Smith collection. (88737-230) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]
