The gun and accessories ride in a neat period antique tin box with soldered seams; the inside with neatly soldered compartments for the arm itself and accessories. William Billinghurst Junior apprenticed under and then worked with his father from 1863-1873. Because he was employed by his father most guns that bear his work also bore his father's maker name. There are only two known guns that bear his "JR" marking, this example and another buggy pistol which was sold as part of the John Amber collection in 1986. He died in October of 1873 just days short of his 31st birthday. The quality of "Junior's" arms is, as would be expected, rival to those made by his very famous father. A superb and extremely rare little outfit overall. (17868-13) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #58 (Sale Order 58 of 1029)

serial #35236, 32 WCF, 24" octagon barrel with full magazine and a very good bore that is quite bright but shows some scattered light oxidation and perhaps some scattered patches of light pitting. The top of the barrel between the caliber marking and rear sight is stamped "C. & P.R.R." indicating that this rifle was owned and used by the Cumberland & Pennsylvania railroad, primarily a coal-hauling railroad in western Maryland. The rifle is in the standard configuration and remains in very nice original condition. The barrel and magazine retain about 75% original blue which is thinning evenly and mixing with a smooth brown patina in thin areas. The action retains about 80% strong original blue finish with loss being mostly due to thinning on belly and on high edges where metal is taking on a pleasing smooth brown patina. The hammer and lever show a good deal of mellow original color case-hardened finish. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate near excellent with 95% original finish remaining and with mostly light dings and bruises from the years. The rifle is sighted with standard open sporting sights and the original steel crescent buttplate is present showing some old patches of oxidation in areas. During the Second World War, the Federal Government dictated that all railroad bridges and tunnels must have armed guards posted to prevent sabotage. This responsibility fell on the individual railroads, who scambled to purchase arms of all types for these new "guards". Coal being a vital commodity to the war effort, it is easy to surmise that this arms was purchased by the railroad, in an effort to comply with the government mandate. A very nice and very interesting 1892 rifle. (17801-7) {ANTIQUE}

U.S. Model 1903 "Marine Corps Sniper" Rifle Model Of 1941

serial #981885, 30-06, 24" 1-18 dated Springfield Armory National Match star gauged barrel with a bright excellent bore which shows only the very beginning of some light frosting at the throat. The barreled action retains about 98% later, likely World War II-era, gray-green parkerized finished showing only light wear and the remnants of some tiny dings and handling marks beneath. The bottom metal is similar, showing more wear and handling marks with the remnants of some light pinprick pitting and light wear to pewter on the bow of the guard. The straight handle bolt shows a similar amount of gray green parkerizing with light marks from operational use and remnants of some pinprick pitting, the knob shows some light toning to pewter; there is no evidence the bolt was ever numbered. The A1-style pistolgrip stock rates very good to excellent showing an old light cleaning with a rich red-russet finish, a handful of light dings or handling marks and is equipped with a checkered National Match style buttplate. The magazine cut-off recess shows a small letter "S" stamped and there is a heavily-stamped block letter "P" firing proof at the grip with a strong crossed cannons escutcheon on the left of the stock to the rear of the magazine cut-off relief.

Mounted to the steel telescopic sight bases is a J Unertl USMC-sniper telescopic sight with 8X ocular lens and an adjustable objective lens.

The rings also show some light wear to their anodizing, the rear toning almost completely to amber. While exhibiting some discrepancies in its construction and markings, with known and accepted Marine Corps snipers, this example is still very nice and very pleasing and may well be someones careful restoration or a very good attempt at emulating the U.S. Marine Corps 1903A1 sniper.

The rear barrel band is later split style, the front stacking swivel is later as well without the milled flat; both rod bayonet and its catch are correct and of the period. There is a small gap between the handguard and the stock and the stock has a crack running from the front band rearward which should be an easy repair for any competent wood man. The rifle seems to function well mechanically and is a very pleasing example of an assembled rod bayonet rifle without the five-figure price tag. (37849-4) {C&R}

Smith & Wesson Special Order Engraved New Model No. 3 Revolver Owned by Frederick E. Bennett

Lot #69 (Sale Order 69 of 1029)

serial #25935, 44 Russian, 6 1/2" barrel with a very good, bright bore that has mild frosting within the grooves. The revolver has matching numbers on the frame, barrel, and cylinder with the metal having an overall dull gray patina with a little mild light freckling that does not obscure the factory floral scroll engraving present on the frame, cylinder, and breech section of the barrel. There are traces of the original gold wash finish remaining, mostly around the barrel latch screw and around the triggerguard where it meets the frame. The hammer and triggerguard have developed a dark blue-black patina without any pitting and the genuine mother-of-pearl grips are in fine shape with just some minor age cracks on the right side panel near the strain screw. The revolver is accompanied by a 1989 dated Smith & Wesson factory letter which lists the pistol as "Ûspecial ordered by F.E. Bennett, world famous target shooter. There is no record of what the special order was, however, there were three guns in the order, all consecutively numbered. These numbers were 25933, 25934 and 25935 and were shipped from our factory on August 23, 1889 to F.E. Bennett in Boston, Massachusetts." Looking at the quality of engraving and traces of finish remaining, it seems clear that the embellishments are factory and were part of the special order. Frederick E. Bennett and his brother William were famous target shooters who came to world attention when Frederick shot against Ira Paine in a much anticipated six day match in 1888 with the winner taking the $1000 staked by each side and the title of American Champion. Paine was in the lead when on the fourth day he withdrew in protest to what he considered to be a too large rear sight on Bennett's revolver. Bennett continued the match alone and was declared the winner, effectively by default. In a higher level of condition, this is a mid five figure revolver. A truly beautiful and historic revolver specially ordered and built for one of the great shooters of the 19th century. (17868-10) {ANTIQUE}

Extremely Rare Canadian Savage 1899 Musket Bayonet

Lot #85 (Sale Order 85 of 1029)

Not sure what became of his rifle, this bayonet stayed in his house until his death in 1949 and was inherited by the consignor's mother and father who passed it on to the consignor in 2003 after the passing of his mother. An excellent rare Canadian bayonet with no more than 600 known to exist with neat family history. (57799-1)

Winchester Model 1897 Black Diamond Trap Shotgun Belonging To Col. Daniel B. Dyer

Lot #105 (Sale Order 105 of 1029)

serial #541396, 12 Ga, 30" matted barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore. This is a very interesting black diamond trap gun. The metal surfaces retain about 60% original blue finish with most of the loss on the frame which has mostly toned to an aged pewter patina showing operational wear on the magazine tube, scattered specks of oxidation and sparse pinprick pits. The left side of the receiver is neatly engraved "Col. D. B. Dyer" in cursive script and the bolt is factory-marked "TRAP GUN". The straight grip checkered deluxe walnut buttstock and forend rate very good displaying lovely figure with ebony diamond inlays on both sides of the wrist as well as a pair of thin 1/2" cracks at the toe, light handling marks and a bit of dark rust staining around the edges. Shotgun is mechanically sound, has a length of pull of 13 5/8" and is sighted with a single silver bead front sight. Colonel Daniel B. Dyer was a former Indian Agent during the late 19th century who later became partners with William "Buffalo Bill" Cody in a mining partnership, fittingly named the Cody-Dyer Mining and Milling Company, which formed in 1902. With neither man knowing anything about mining, their newly formed company sought the expertise of a man named Lewis W. Getchell, a man notorious for finding worthless commercial property, and who clearly saw the naivety of the two men and convinced Buffalo Bill to invest in what would end up being a worthless claim. The company ended up spending a decade mining a claim with nothing but a few traces of gold to show for it. Nevertheless, in 1912 the mining company was then leased to another man to cut losses and soon thereafter, Col. Dyer unexpectedly died. This shotgun was made in 1911, one year prior to the death of Col. Dyer, and would be a wonderful piece to add to one's collection of historic Winchester or old west related arms. (157843-113) {C&R}

Rare Bergen & Williamson Patent Breechloading Civil War Carbine

Lot #135 (Sale Order 135 of 1029)

.52 RF, 22" round barrel with a near very good bore that is mostly bright with a few areas of oxidation and light pitting present. This rare carbine was patented on November 22, 1864 (U.S. Pat. No. 45,202) and never went into production, only a few sample carbines were built. The action works with a two-piece breechblock, the rear section falls vertically which then allows the forward section to slide backward in-line with the bore. The action is of brass and the firing pin enters the breechblock at an angle very similar to a Snider patent breechblock. The lever is of brass and has a spring-loaded catch that locks the lever in the closed position. The gun is very well-designed with steel rollers mounted in each tip of the operating bar which moves both the rear breechblock downward and the front breechblock backward in a very smooth fashion. The barrel and hammer bear a deep rich brown patina with some scattered very light old oxidation present. The brass action and breechblocks bear a wonderful untouched patina with very nice surfaces. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate near excellent with lots of original oil finish remaining and with well-defined edges and maintaining lovely fit. The carbine has simple military style open barrel sights. The buttplate is also of brass and shows a lovely patina which matches the action nicely. The barrel band is missing along with its retaining spring, a good antique gunsmith could make and/or retrofit a proper band and spring. While there were many carbines designed for the Civil War that never went into production, they are all very rare and desirable. A fine carbine that would be right at home in a collection of experimental or patent models or simple a fine collection of American military longarms. (17863-23) {ANTIQUE}

Very sadly Phil passed away in March 2012 and no more of these exquisite rifles will be had (his father Merle passed away in 2004 at the age of 91). This example is a wonderful testament to the craftsmanship of these two men and, while a cherished heirloom to be proudly displayed, would still serve very well afield. A very stunning rifle.

serial #8139, 8mm Mauser, 23 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore.

The top barrel is sighted with a simple German silver blade front sight and shallow v-notch rear.

The back action locks and tangs are a mix of pewter and plum brown, they and the hammers showing light engraving. The right hammer is typical conventional style while the left has the necessary "elephant nose", they are both retained to the tumbler screws by brass spanner nuts.

They locks are single-acting and the rifle is equipped with double set triggers, which will drop both hammer simultaneously if they are cocked at the same time. There is no ramrod present. William Fillman of Milton Pennsylvania was active from 1822 to some time to just before the Civil War.

The stock rates very good plus over all showing much original varnish with nice course checkering in the area of the wrist. While the short length would suggest a shortened rifle, this example clearly is not as the rifling lead is neatly cut into the muzzle face in the engraving at the muzzle precisely matches that on the barrel in age and patina. Abraham Gibbs was active in Lancaster Pennsylvania from around 1847 to 1857. The rifle is equipped with double set triggers and a dual-acting lock and what appears to be its original candystriped ramrod is present. The nipple is a modern replacement but this is of no consequence. Really a very nice example overall of an eastern Pennsylvania long rifle exhibiting wonderful quality of craftsmanship.

The barrels are in overall deep plum patina with a scattering of oxidation with some areas of active oxidation and with numerous light dings handling marks and tool marks from the years.

Barrels are affixed to an iron swivel plate, the plate affixed to the stock, with a single spring-loaded catch which acts as barrel stop. The iron back action lock is marked by lock maker Henry Elwell of Seneca Ohio showing some light flourishes of scroll, it is a dark gray and brown patina with some light oxidation, the hammer lightly engraved as well. There is a faceted single spur triggerguard which appears to be a later replacement as there is inletting at the rear of its tang which is vacant. There is a lightly faceted buttplate and simple toeplate with an unadorned brass sideplate opposite the lock. There is a somewhat simple brass patchbox with the rear catch and slightly flourishing head and another bird-like inlay beneath the squarish cheekpiece.

There is one candystriped ramrod present which is likely original equipment and a later iron-tipped ramrod included as well. A quick check reveals a couple of "JSH"-initialed gunsmiths in the Midwest, two in Kansas which seems a bit far given the lockmakers Seneca Ohio address, and a "JS Hagar" of St. Joseph Michigan also advertised that he was a blacksmith (and gunsmith), it would be very surprising if this were not his rifle. The very interesting and rather nice swivel breech rifle overall. (37771-2) {ANTIQUE}

German S/42 Marked P.08 Luger Pistol by Mauser

Lot #150 (Sale Order 150 of 1029)

serial #8977t, 9mm, 4" barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows some lightly scattered very sparse oxidation near the throat. The metal surfaces retain about 95 to perhaps near 97% original blue, the loss is due to some light high edge and leading edge wear with a bit of fading on the straps. The chamber is 1937-dated and the toggle is S/42 marked; the toggle itself may be an old restored blue as the "77" serial marking is somewhat light. All of the visibly numbered parts are correctly numbered alike including the grooved firing pin with the exception of the sideplate, which appears re-numbered during the period of use, the blue finish on it showing age and wear consistent with the balance of the arm. The checkered walnut grips rate very good with light wear and some light flattening of the points, also with sparsely scattered dings and handling marks here and there, they are un-numbered. A single blue body aluminum base magazine is included, it is numbered "9792t". Overall a rather nice and honest example. (37716-13) {C&R}

All of the markings remain crisp and legible including the Springfield Armory Eagle. The checkered double diamond walnut grips rate good to perhaps very good showing a good deal of wear and flattened points with some light wear around the screw holes, the stock screws showing wear to their slots. The following parts are all "S" marked: trigger, hammer, sear, disconnector, mainspring housing, safety, magazine release, extractor and barrel; the unmarked parts exhibit appropriate wear and patina as the balance of the arm. The barrel is a Springfield Armory "pre-World War II" barrel which is "S" and "P" marked on the left lug. Included is a single two-tone pinned base lanyard loop magazine in very good condition. Overall a very honest example needing only a couple of correct Springfield Armory parts to be all Springfield. An excellent entry-level example for the 1911 collector.

Lot Of Personal Correspondence Of Lt. Col. George R. Pfann

Lot #152 (Sale Order 152 of 1029)

This lot consists of a dossier of Genl. George Pattons Secretary to the General Staff, Lt. Col. George R. Pfanns orders, personal issue papers, assignments and financial documents; an assortment of personal correspondence dating from June 1930 to March 1940; and a small "diary" from Cadet Pfann, partially completed, from his time at the Columbia Military Academy with later entries from his time at Cornell; the last entry in October of 1924 when he was All-American for Cornell Football. There are sixty-two letters from Mr. Pfanns starting in June 1930, some while at Strathmore, then through March 1934 to about Sept. 1935 while employed as assistant U.S. Attorney for the New York, N.Y. district. These all are mostly domestic in nature, a few interesting hotel stationary envelopes from Reno NV when he was there on a case. The next series of twenty-three letters are from Captain George Pfann stationed at Fort Dix N.J. with the 741st M. P. Btn, from early June 1942 through November of 1942 when he was transferred to Fort Oglethorpe, GA and then A.P. Hill Military Reservation in Virginia. They are mostly domestic in nature and the getting-used-to of military life; he is in court trying cases quite a bit and mentions training ("Weve been on the range this week and I enjoyed that most.") (Fort Oglethorpe: "The camp here is in the middle of the old Chicamauagua (sic) Civil War Battleground and was built as a concentration camp with barbed wire around it but I guess they figured it too good for the Japs")(During World War I Fort Oglethorpe was home to 3400 German Prisoners of War and civilian detainees) The last two hint that they may be shipping out soon. The next batch of 74 letters range in date from November of 1942 to December of 1943 and are return address marked "Headquarters Western Task Force" and "Headquarters 7th Army" and are written from North Africa and Sicily. A March 13th (1943) dated letter seems to be when he was informed he would become the Secretary to the General Staff, and as of August 13th, 1943 he had made Major. In a September letter he talks about the surrender of Italy and an Italian training rifle with bayonet (that he will later send home much to Mrs. Pfanns chagrin)(In our sale no. 106, a grouping of Lt. Col. Pfanns letters were sold in-which the rifle was mentioned, he shipped it home, and caught some trouble from Mrs. Pfann about the affair). The folder of the good Lt. Cols. Orders etc. shows a facsimile Service Record, showing service from May 23, 1942 to discharge in February of 1946. There are numerous travel orders and assignments of duty; pay an allowance accounts; Kelly out" list of issued equipment, one showing: "pistol, cal. 45, serial #914279"; there is a copy of a letter of commendation from Robert Paterson, Under Secretary of War; a copy of the award for the Legion of Merit "For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services" "Û reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the U.S.", additionally there is a copy of Pattons recommendation letter for this decoration. Among the many glowing statements about Pfann by Patton himself, his summation is very telling: "His achievements and loyal, untiring devotion to duty were important contributions to the success of the Third U.S. Army operations". There are applications for leave, a power of attorney, orders for other decorations , copies of his promotion From Major to Lt. Col. a September 27, 1943 headquarters seventh Army commendation letter to, then major, G. R. Pfann commends him for his service as secretary of the general staff during the Sicilian operation and has an actual genuine ink signature of Gen. George S. Patton, a July 1943 letter as well, expressing his personal appreciation to then Capt. George R. Pfann also bears a genuine signature by Patton which appears to be in pencil. Another genuine, and rather interesting signature, appears on February 1943 dated travel orders signed by Paul Revere, Major, Assistant Adjutant General. (No doubt a descendant of the famous man who took the famous ride). (37862)

German Walther PP Pistol With Standarte Feldherrnhalle Marking And Capture Papers

Lot #153 (Sale Order 153 of 1029)

serial #147532P, 32 ACP, 3 7/8" barrel with a bright about excellent bore. The frame on this interesting pistol retains about 90% original blue with some scattered speckles of oxidation and slight toning to plum on the frontstrap, showing more toning on the backstrap, with a few oddly scattered pinprick pits here and there. The slide shows perhaps 80% original blue, the loss due to some flaking to brown with some light oxidation speckles near overall and a few areas of some very light pitting. The barrel is "(crown) N" proofed and also shows some very light surface oxidation through the ejection port; the slide is proved identically. The backstrap has been engraved during the period of use "Eigentum Standarte,, Feldherrnhalle", a marking of the SA-Standarte Feldherrnhalle, an elite unit of the Sturmabteilungen which guarded important SA state and party office buildings. An early pistol, the marking is somewhat more rudimentary than other examples noted and is on the back, rather than the front, strap. The pistol features 60 safety and the synthetic Walther Banner grips rate very good with some minor handling marks and a very tiny hairline crack on the left grip. Pistol comes with what is likely its original holster, captured with the gun. It is brown leather and is overall very good with light scuffs scratches and handling marks from honest use afield. There are two blued-body, plastic finger-based magazines included rating very good, one with a chip missing along three quarters of its left lower edge. The two included capture documents are an original affidavit certificate-customs declaration, dated May 1946 and the accompanying "capture paper" form No. 33. Both list the pistol by caliber and serial number, giving a Sgt. "David DeAngelis" permission to retain them; interestingly the main spring plug on the bottom of the butt has been scratch-initialed during the period of use "DD", no doubt by Sgt. DeAngelis himself. DeAngelis served with the 16th Armored Division and was at one point stationed in Oberammergau, Germany. Overall a rather nice early "prewar" Walther PP pistol with a very interesting marking, brought back from the theater of action by this Sgt. from New Jersey. (37066-1) {C&R}

The rear scope ring mounted in a dovetail just ahead of the receiver, that ring adjustable for elevation.

High Quality Muzzleloading Salute Cannon

Lot #269 (Sale Order 269 of 1029)

This is an exceptionally well-made and detailed salute cannon, and is made so well it in an very possibly may have been designed for projectile. The cannon is modeled after a bronze Napoleon field gun and has quality stepped capsquares and a very well-made elevation mechanism impinging directly upon the cascabel knob. The bore is about .80 cal., 13 3/4" deep and lightly oxidized. The tube itself is about 16" overall length from muzzle face to cascabel. The barrel is a faithful reproduction of a Napoleon 12-pounder gun with nice muzzle flare, fillets, astragals, reinforces and integrally cast dolphins at the trunnion reinforce. There are light fleur-de-lis, star and circular decorations circumferentially at the fillets and astragals and the vent field is lightly recessed. The carriage is mahogany, very heavy and well-constructed. The wheels are eight-spoke and about 10 1/2" in diameter, drying and shrinking slightly with the years, the left wheel showing three separated spokes which were glued but have separated again with the years. Each wheel has heavy brass tires, the fellos now with a light gap between each from shrinkage, none of these issues are structural or serious. The elevation knob works as-designed and there is a heavy brass eyelet for towing. The overall length muzzle face to eyelet is about 31" with an overall height of about 13". Strangely unmarked, this is a very high quality muzzleloading bronze salute cannon likely made during the latter half of the 19th or very early part of the 20th centuries.

The carriage itself is mahogany and very nicely constructed rating very good to very good plus with only minor handling marks from the years.

Really quality-constructed throughout with its mechanisms still fully functional, a very handsome salute cannon overall, sadly unmarked. (37631-4) [Extra Shipping Will Apply]

Antique Bronze Muzzleloading Salute Cannon

Lot #271 (Sale Order 271 of 1029)

This appears to be a Strong Firearms Company muzzleloading cannon although it is unmarked and certainly could have been made by any salute cannon maker of that period. 1" bore 12 1/4" deep with a lightly oxidized smooth bore. The bronze is a nice tarnished goldenrod patina and has a large diameter breech reinforce which tapers nicely in an uninterrupted chase to the muzzle.

The major diameter at breech is just over 3" with a muzzle diameter of 2" and a length trunnion-to-trunnion of about 5 3/4". There are one piece cast capsquares left and right which retain the tube. The wheels are cast iron and four-spoke, retained on the iron axle by cotter pins and steel washers, they show nearly all their original black enamel which is flaking only lightly. The hardwood cheeks appear to be maple and are retained through two maple stretchers by three heavy iron carriage bolts. There is a small brass plate affixed to the rear stretcher which has been neatly engraved many many years ago "General Grant". The wood shows overall minor dings and light handling marks from the years with a bit of flaking varnish. There is no elevation mechanism, it appears as though there never was, although the entire construction is quality throughout. A very nice example overall of a vintage quality-made salute cannon.

Coming Through The Rye Bronze Sculpture After Remington

Lot #272 (Sale Order 272 of 1029)

This "Lost Wax" casting of the original 1902 bronze creation by Frederick Remington (1861-1909) depicts four cowboys exhibiting reckless abandonment shooting up the town after a strenuous cattle drive. The cowboys are dashing down the street, ponies at top speed spurning the ground beneath their feet with only six hooves touching the earth. This was Remington's first creation using more than two horses and shows great detail from the cowboys attire and jovial faces to the horses flowing manes and tails having a facsimile Remington signature on the rock-like base. The bronze has a lovely applied chocolate patina, measures 14"Hx14Lx12" and weighs just under 50 lbs. Included with the bronze is an 1980 notarized appraisal providing an insurable replacement value of $1350. A fantastic, great-looking bronze reproduction of one of Remington's most popular creations.

The checkered hard rubber grips with Smith & Wesson monograms rate excellent, they are numbered to another gun but their fit is excellent. There is extremely slight vertical play barrel-to-frame but the gun seems to time and lock up appropriately. Numbers are matching on frame, cylinder, barrel and latch.

Novelty Smith & Wesson Victory Model "Polish Target Pistol"

Lot #278 (Sale Order 278 of 1029)

38 special, 4" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this neatly modified, former Victory Model revolver, are a nicely finished deep gray-blue with some toning to plum brown beneath. The smooth walnut grips rate very good plus to near excellent with some minor handling marks and light flaking (they are numbered to a different revolver). Basically the bottom end of this revolver was neatly trimmed off, turned around and reassembled. The barrels serial number and cylinder serial number match (462286) so it was likely not necessary to cannibalize two guns to make this cool-looking "revolver". The gun has no moving parts but the cylinder, the hammer permanently in the down position, the trigger does not function and the cylinder permanently closed does not swing out (it does indeed rotate on its axis). Many of these arms have turned up over the years, usually their construction is rather crude, this is a very nicely constructed and finished example and take on the old "Polish target pistol" joke; very well done.

Included with the gun is a single bright-bodied wood base magazine numbered "5270c" rating about excellent overall. Currently the bolt-toggle hold open does not function. Really a very attractive Great War Luger with a desirable early dated chamber. (37856-17D31837) {C&R}

Colt New Service British-Purchased Revolver With Ties To U.S. Naval Lieut.

Lot #334 (Sale Order 334 of 1029)

serial #78515, .455 Eley, 5 3/8" professionally shortened barrel with a bright very good plus to near excellent bore which shows only some very light pitting near the muzzle, the muzzle flat-crowned with a fairly deep muzzle counter bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90% original blue, the loss due to some even fading and holster wear along with loss due to light oxidation on the straps, butt, right of frame and bow of guard. These areas show some remnants of light oxidation and also some sparsely scattered light pinprick pitting. The checkered hard rubber "Colt" grips rate very good, both showing a repaired chip at their rearmost edge; the right grip is lightly scratch-numbered to the gun. The arm features British proofs with a dual broad arrow "withdrawn from service" stamping and its lanyard loop is intact. The left side of frame at sideplate has been very neatly engraved during the period of use "R.H. Oksala". The frame shows some tool marks and the front sight appears to have been re-set at some point, the barrel as well showing tool marks left and right; there are some tool marks and dings inside of the hammer cut on the frame and the firing pin bushing may have been replaced or its face neatly dressed quite some time ago. The gun times and locks up as well as the day it left Hartford. There is a British or Canadian-style brown leather holster included which rates very good with intact seam stitching, loosening slightly on the rear-mounted belt billet. There is a small brass plate affixed to the flap of the holster, also neatly engraved "R.H. Oksala". Search of English and Canadian records turns up no "Oksalas" in their records however there is a Raymond H Oksala who was a Lieut. Engineer during the Second World War in the U.S. Navy. Raymond H Oksala is listed as having served aboard the U.S.S. Cole (DE-208), the USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31), transferring from that vessel in June 1945 for duty aboard the U.S.S. Bataan (CVL-29). Post-war he would live in Parsippany New Jersey and was a member of the NRA and the Roxbury rifle club; it would rather make sense he would be a firearms-fancier and may have obtained this at some point during his service career (or even before and it may have spent the entire war stateside) (the arm was consigned by an eastern New York State collector just outside of Albany). Overall a rather interesting New Service with a tenable connection to a U.S. Navy Lieut. who served in the South Pacific in the late days of the Second World War. (37106-5) {C&R}

Rifle is devoid of sights however the Pope barrel is also outfitted with steel target blocks and a Canjar trigger has been installed. According to the consignor, who bought this arm from renowned Palma Match shooter Art Jackson, this rifle was purportedly once tasked to test out highly accurate 22 short ammunition, a stepping stone in the development of a rapid-fire 22 short pistol to be used for International competition. This government project was administered by a certain Colonel Kaiser of the Pentagon circa 1960, who wanted to test out this newly developed, highly accurate 22 short ammunition in the best barrel out there (i.e. Pope) and compare it to a barrel maker of similar quality, hence the Johnson barrel, however this test was never completed. To add credibility to the story, Jackson was a member of the CIA from 1957-1975 and likely had connections with several high ranking officials, thus explaining his involvement. Overall a very interesting gun that, should the story hold true, has a really neat history behind it. (157493-23) {MODERN}

As mentioned, the false muzzle and short starter are included.

The stock is coarsely checkered and features a nice flat-bottom left side cheekpiece. The triggerguard was broken through, no doubt at the time the stock broke and shows a brazed repair behind the bow of the guard.

The smooth walnut buttstock rates very good and is rather graceful with deep comb flutes and shows an old repair to a chip between the tang and the top of the lockplate. There is a hollow brass ramrod included and a short starter. The patent is for a "pocketed" lockplate if you will, which uses a convex stamping to allow standard mainspring and parts to be fitted without being as deeply inletted into the stock, therefore leaving the stock stronger and were a mainspring to break, it would not ruin nor splinter the stock as it is contained and compartmentalized within the locks housing. An interesting concept which clearly didnt take off as these patent locks are rather rare. An interesting rifle that appears quality-made with a rather interesting lock.

The barrel retains perhaps 40% original silverplate, the underlying metal a light plum-gray patina. The frame is a dull ocher patina and shows some generous traces of silverplate, perhaps 8% remaining. Both frame and barrel show loose open flowing scroll of very good quality with background punch-dot shading. The smooth burl walnut grips rate good, their finish worn nearly away, their fit is excellent and they are pencil-numbered to the gun. The backstrap is neatly engraved as well and in the center of the engraving is a name "CG Stanly", rather unique being it is sans the letter "E", a cursory search of names with that exact spelling does not turn up many folk, there is a physician in the 1870s with that exact name and spelling. There is light barrel-to-frame play, however the hammer mechanism works well, the barrel catchs spring is likely missing. Really a rather nice example, very seldom encountered factory engraved.

Sharps Percussion Revolver

Lot #1026 (Sale Order 1026 of 1029)

serial #992, .25 cal., 3" ribbed octagon barrel with a poor bore. The metal surfaces on this very scarce revolver are an overall dark pewter gray patina, showing evidence of a light cleaning, with remnants of overall light oxidation and light pinprick pitting, the frame more of a brown-gray patina. The smooth walnut grips rate about good, the left grip with a tiny chip from its leading edge, the right with a more moderate chip at its rear corner. A number of the screw slots show some damage but the gun seems to function mechanically. There appears to be an old welded or brazed repair to the area around the topstrap hinge, it has been neatly dressed and is unobtrusive. A near good example overall of these very seldom-encountered revolvers. (36889-200) {ANTIQUE}

Mass Arms Company Wesson & Leavitt Belt Model Percussion Revolver

Lot #1027 (Sale Order 1027 of 1029)

.31 cal. 6 3/4" octagon barrel with a lightly oxidized smoothbore. The metal surfaces are an overall dull gray and brown patina showing overall pinprick pitting and light oxidation, the pitting slightly more moderate on the barrel. There are no evident markings and the triggerguard shows an old welded repair. The two piece walnut grips rate very good, now devoid of varnish and with minor dings and handling marks. An interesting example, the barrel hinges upward by pulling forward on a spring-loaded pin mounted at the front of the cylinder arbor. The mechanism works loosely, occasionally failing to index. Still a very interesting variation overall. (36889-230) {ANTIQUE}

German M35 Luftwaffe Helmet

Lot #1029 (Sale Order 1029 of 1029)

The metal surfaces retain 85-90% original feldgrau with scattered scuffs, scratches and sparse oxidation stains. The leather liner shows moderate crazing and light storage damage but still remains intact. The chinstrap shows lots of drying cracks and crazing with some storage damage as well and the initials "AHK II" appear to have been incise-carved on the strap. The Luftwaffe Eagle decal on the left side is partly visible but worn and stamped on the underside of the rolled brim are "DN24" on the back and what appears to be "O66" on the left. Included with the helmet are facsimile capture papers including two items, this helmet and an officer's cap, dated 2-12-1945. The cap listed on the papers is the lot prior to this one. This Luftwaffe helmet appears to have spent a lot of time on the battlefield. (157439-9)
