The backstrap and triggerguard show about 90-92% original blue, the loss due to even fading and toning to a plum brown on the bow of the guard. The spine of the hammer shows some brilliant pale fire temper blue with the bright-polished sides showing light oxidation staining, the trigger still with strong pale blue. The checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips rate very good with light wear to the points, worn smooth along the sharp edges of the contour of the birdshead grip; they are un-numbered but fit precisely. The gun seems to function well mechanically. The revolver comes cased in an older mahogany presentation case with amethyst-colored baize lining and 18-place cartridge block. The case includes the key and rates very fine-excellent overall. Really a very nice lightning overall, still in a very fine state of condition, very attractively cased.

Exceptional and Rare Colt John Wayne Commemorative Presentation Model Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #29 (Sale Order 29 of 1099)

serial #JW-P55, 45 Colt, 4 3/4" barrel with an as-new, un-fired bore. All of the metal surfaces on this astonishing revolver retain all their original deep factory blue and gold-plated finishes. John Wayne, "The Duke", needs no introduction here. To commemorate this larger-than-life actor, American, cowboy and man's-man, Colt Firearms Company, in 1982, issued the John Wayne Commemorative Single Action Army revolver. While the standard model is fairly common, the deluxe models are very seldom-encountered on the secondary market. Presentation models trading on the open market are virtually unheard of. Originally slated for a very limited production run of 100 revolvers, Colt records indicate that a scant 47 only were actually produced. In addition to the lovely flowing open scroll on barrel and frame, the hammer, the ejector rod, base pin, trigger, triggerguard and backstrap are all heavily plated in genuine 24 karat gold. The presentation edition features a deep relief-chiseled gold inlaid American Eagle on the left side of the barrel with "John Wayne" in riband in its beak. The left recoil shield features a nice circular flat with a gold inlaid chiseled relief of the man himself with his signature hat and a neckerchief (bandanna). The unfluted cylinder has three fine gold wire inlays, the leading one at front of cylinder interrupted with geometric designs. The left side of cylinder shows the tall man, striding along, his silhouette on the ground, the right side with Colts famous Rampant Colt trademark, these inlaid in fine gold. Gold wire embellishments continue on the frame and The Duke's signature is neatly engraved along the backstrap. The interior of the grip is signed by Colt factory engraver "George Spring", Colt's head of engraving. The arm wears lovely two-piece factory fleur-de-lis checkered ivory grips, showing nice grain and some nice age crackling along their butts, they are factory-numbered to the gun. The revolver is as-new, un-turned since leaving the Colt factory. The issue walnut display case is included with glass sides and top, rotating on a 360° pedestal. The top panel is etched with the Colt trademark and the interior is a lovely French-fitted Burgundy baize. Colt factory accessories include an ivory oil bottle with the Colt logo on its lid, ivory-handle bore bristle brush, ivory-handled wiper and ivory-handled turn screw, all of the metal components being heavily 24 karat gold plated as well. There is a blued steel plaque within, neatly engraved and gold inlaid with the same motif as is found on the cylinder. The case itself rates about excellent with a few very light handling marks on the lid and a drying crack on one end of the base. Included with the gun is its original wood-grain box with Styrofoam inserts and Colt custom shop end label serial numbered to the gun; the original octagonal hangtag is within (the end flap has become detached from the box but clearly belongs to it). The manufacturer’s suggested retail pricing for these arms in 1982 was $20,000. Overall likely a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own an extremely rare piece of Colt factory art commemorating one of the greatest Americans of a generation. (38381-5) {C&R}

The revolver has a lovely pink-purple tarnished silver patina and features lovely loose flowing scroll with background punch-dot shading. An absolutely limited-edition, originally intended to be a release of 500 revolvers, only 90 total were built with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $10,000 in 1982. The left side of the barrel features a deep relief-chiseled gold inlaid American Eagle with "John Wayne" in riband held in its beak. The left side recoil shield features a holstered Single Action Army and gun belt in deep relief-chiseled 18 karat gold with background punch-dot shading. The right side loading gate has a pair of chiseled-in-relief spurs in silver, also with background punch dot accenting shading. The cylinder features gold inlaid vignettes of the Duke himself, backed by the Stars & Stripes, an iconic and well-known image; the right side of cylinder shows Wayne astride his horse, Dollor. Wayne's signature is neatly engraved up the backstrap along with silver and gold inlaid shield, this example signed by iconic Colt engraver Alvin White "AA White" along the inside of the butt strap. The grips are smooth ebony, the left is neatly inlaid with an ivory scrimmed medallion with "Colt" in fancy script; they are assembly-numbered to the gun. The revolver is as-new, un-turned to since leaving the Colt factory. The issue walnut display case is included with glass sides and top, rotating on a 360° pedestal. The top panel is etched with the Colt trademark and shows a tiny bit of loss to the etching or sandblasting. The interior is a lovely French-fitted lime green baize with Colt factory accessories included featuring: an ebony oil bottle, ebony accessory box, ebony bore bristle brush, ebony wiper and ebony turn screw, all of the metal components being heavily brightly nickel plated. There is a blued steel plaque within, neatly engraved and gold inlaid with the same motif as is found on the presentation model cylinder. The case itself rates about excellent with a few very light handling marks here there on the lid. Included with the gun is its original wood-grain box with Styrofoam inserts and papers and Colt custom shop end, the writing is no longer legible. With an original issue price of $10,000 in 1982, and less than 100 of these beautifully-executed arms being made, this is an extremely rare opportunity for the advanced Colt collector to obtain one of the finest revolvers they've ever produced, by arguably one of their finest, if not the finest, engraver, ever employed by Colt.

Wonderful Moore's Patent Firearms Front-Loading Teat Fire Revolver

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 1099)

serial #9453, .32 caliber teat fire, 3 1/4" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is likely the finest Moore's frontloading revolver that we have encountered. The barrel retains a strong 50% bright original blue, the loss due to some contaminant which has caused spotty flaking of the barrel, but the strong blue around the forcing cone and the bright metal at its face suggest this gun was never fired; it is Moore's Firearms Company and Brooklyn New York marked. The pivoting cartridge loading arm on the right lower side of the barrel retains all its original purple-hue fire temper and the cylinder retains about 97% original bright blue, the loss due to some very lightly flaked areas, the chambers and face of the cylinder immaculate and un-scorched. The frame retains nearly all its original silver plate which has darkened and tarnished to a lovely deep blue hue, the very few flaked areas showing a goldenrod patina beneath. The hammer retains strong original color case-hardening with the trigger showing smoky mottled colors. The grips appear very much to be rosewood and rate excellent with only minor flaking or tiny dings here and there from the years, they are assembly-numbered to the gun. Indeed all of the parts, frame, arbor, barrel, cylinder and wedge are all assembly numbered alike. The gun times and locks up well however the trigger return spring is damaged as the arm will only hold on cock if forward tension is put on the trigger, this would be an extremely easy fix for any competent 'smith. Really a very stunning high condition Moore's frontloading revolver. (38341-2) {ANTIQUE}

Exceptional Manhattan Firearms Company Navy Model Percussion Revolver

Lot #32 (Sale Order 32 of 1099)

serial #4675, .36 cal., 5" barrel with an excellent bright bore. This rare barrel length retains about 98% factory blue with light edge wear and flaking on the left flat near the muzzle. The muzzle is still bright with light oxidation on the factory polish. The breech remains bright, the bore showing good original blue and the rear face of the barrel has all its original blue showing a couple of light spots of oxidation. The loading lever and ram show excellent original color case-hardening, even the wedge shows lovely purple pale fire temper blue. The five-shot, ten-stop cylinder has worn to an interesting copper-tone with generous flecks of original finish on most of the panel scenes with strong remnants of blue in the chambers and even surrounding the nipples. The frame and hammer retain about 99% original vivid color case-hardening with some light high edge wear at the capping cut and a couple of small flecks on the frame. The triggerguard retains about 95% factory silver plate while the backstrap has toned primarily to a dull ochre patina. The backstrap is neatly engraved in flowing cursive script "J.J. Stapfer". The one-piece walnut grip rates excellent with all of its original varnish showing only a tiny flake at the rear right edge and another small spot at the rear left exhibiting some very old synthetic filler. Many of the screws show remnants of a pale dark straw-purple-tone fire blue. Inexplicably the triggerguard, backstrap, barrel, wedge, cylinder and grips are all numbered "5175". The parts fit wonderfully and appear to have been married together for some time. Only the frame and arbor are numbered one another. Lock up is tight but the hand is missing and the cylinder will not advance. There are not many Stapfer's to be found and a quick check of the U.S. Census record reveals in the Division 16 District U.S. Federal Tax record a John J. Stapfer lived on 313 Bloomfield ST., Hoboken, N.J. in 1865 and 1866. He was liable for Federal Excise Tax due to "income" and "watches"; perhaps an importer of the latter as his last name was probably more common in Switzerland and Germany. An absolutely superb Manhattan with a rare barrel length, sadly slightly mismatched. (88357-7) {ANTIQUE}

Manhattan Firearms Company Navy Model Percussion Revolver

Lot #33 (Sale Order 33 of 1099)

serial #69064, .36 cal., 4" octagon barrel with strong rifling but sparsely scattered light pitting or oxidation. This late production series IV revolver remains in attractive condition. The barrel has crisp two-line Newark address and retains about 92% factory blue with loss primarily due to wear and oxidation blemishes mostly on the right side. The five shot ten-slot cylinder has the similar loss in addition to pinprick pitting with the surfaces showing a 50% mottled mix of pewter, purple and blue plus crisp scenes overall with the cavalry-infantry charge slightly light. The frame still has strong swirls of case-hardened colors but is muting to pewter. The loading lever rates about the same as the frame but the hammer has very strong colors partially masked by scattered freckling for about 85% case-hardened colors remaining. The backstrap and triggerguard frame have nearly 97% silver plate with light edge wear. The smooth one-piece factory walnut grips rate very good to excellent with a few areas of flaking finish and wear along the lower edges. All appropriate parts and the grips are correctly numbered to the gun with the exception of the rammer (#8958), the standing breech is not drilled and tapped for a spring plate and the gun remains fully functional. Overall, an attractive Navy with great condition. (88357-8) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #35 (Sale Order 35 of 1099)

serial #333379, 44 Special, scarce 6" barrel with an excellent bore. This delightful revolver was produced in 1932 and has the seldom seen shorter barrel. The metal surfaces retain about 97% factory blue with limited high edge wear, a few scratches, turn ring on the cylinder and handling marks. The un-numbered checkered walnut factory square butt grips with silver Colt medallions rate excellent with one tiny spot of compressed diamond points. The revolver features an elevation adjustable Patridge front sight and a windage adjustable black blade rear sight. As was common on Target Models the left side barrel is simply marked "NEW SERVICE

Sharps Model 1853 Percussion Sporting Rifle

Lot #36 (Sale Order 36 of 1099)

serial #8070, about .37 caliber or 90 bore, 26" octagon barrel with a very good bore that shows strong deep rifling. This rifle features factory adjustable double set triggers along with a factory triggerplate mounted sling staple and ring. The rifle features matching number "8070" on the frame, barrel, inside of patchbox door, breechblock, inside heel of butt and in pencil on the endgrain of the buttstock. The metal surfaces were lightly cleaned long ago and are presently a mostly even gray patina with some scattered light oxidation staining and some very fine pin prick pitting. The top tang has a vacant hole which appears to be original and for a tang sight that is no longer present. The barrel marking is partially visible and the frame marking is mostly visible. The walnut buttstock and pewter tipped forend rate very good having a rich dark appearance with lots of original and some added light finish along with numerous light handling marks from the years. The nose of the comb has some wood loss about 1/2" by 3/8". The iron patchbox and buttplate match the balance of the metal in color and condition. The rifle is sighted with a factory dovetail mounted blade front and folding rear with sliding sighting groove. There are with-the-grain very tight and sound cracks at either side of the top tang running into the meat of the stock and another at the rear of the lockplate - they barely warrant mention and could probably be made to disappear by a competent wood man. This is a nice honest example of these fine Hartford Sharps rifles, one of only about 600 made in this caliber. Interestingly the consignor's notes state that he purchased this rifle from Norm Flayderman in Greenwich, CT on January 13, 1962 for

Sharps Sporting Rifle

Lot #37 (Sale Order 37 of 1099)

serial #C,2011, 45 2 6/10", 30" octagon barrel with a good plus bore that is mostly bright but shows a couple patches of oxidation. This is an interesting rifle built on a Sharps New Model 1863 cartridge converted carbine frame. The barrel is numbered on the underside "2011" and it bears all proper Bridgeport markings including the "Old Reliable" moniker and it is caliber marked on the left flat "45 2 6/10". In addition to being rebarreled by Sharps, it was also fitted with a set of factory adjustable set triggers. The condition is nice with the barrel retaining an even light brown patina with all markings remaining legible. The surfaces of the barrel are very smooth with the exception of a few light dings and bruises, several of which are in the area of the "Old Reliable" marking. The action and lock retain lots of original color case-hardened finish which has faded to a mostly German silver color. The left side of the action shows the very neatly factory filled sling bar hole and the buttstock and the sling bar base remains in the stock, polished smooth and now acting simply as a washer for the rear lockplate screw. The condition of the wood is excellent with some added oil finish present, the forend appears to have been lightly cleaned before the oil was added. The top of the butt at the heel shows inspector's initials "H.H.H." neatly stamped. The rifle is sighted with a German silver Rocky Mountain front and a buckhorn rear with folding leaf and sliding sighting notch. A very neat example of a Sharps sporting rifle built in Bridgeport after 1876 using an earlier Hartford military carbine action. (18397-22) {ANTIQUE}

Percussion Over Under Buck and Ball Gun by L.L. Hepburn of Colton, New York

Lot #38 (Sale Order 38 of 1099)

Description Update (8/17/17): A few thin cracks upper tang.

.34 caliber rifled barrel over .618 or about 20 bore smoothbore barrel. Both bores rate good showing some light oxidation and pitting and the top of the barrel is marked "L.L. HEPBURN / COLTON. N.Y.". This over and under configuration is one that was favored by Hepburn and the barrels have a hook breech which is taken down with the removal of a single pin which passes laterally through the frame locking the barrel in place. The gun is plain with no engraving and the right hammer looks to be an old and likely period handmade replacement which matches decently and is not immediately noticeable. The gun features German silver furniture including the buttplate, toeplate, patchbox and triggerguard. The barrels have ramrods mounted on either side with one of them having the base of a 44-40 case as its tip. The barrels show a gray brown patina overall with some scattered areas of light pitting and oxidation staining. The ramrods fit into 7" long tubular holders at the breech end of barrels which show some scattered dents and either side of barrel breeches show light vise impressions. The frame and locks are an even gray patina with just a small amount of light pitting and there is an interesting folding tang-mounted peepsight mounted on the top tang. The holes in which the sight mounts are very clean and appear original. Additionally the rifle is sighted with a period flattop rear and a small German silver blade front. The plain walnut buttstock rates very good having been lightly cleaned and with some added oil finish present. All furniture fits nicely and the rifle has an overall pleasing appearance.

19th Century Percussion Converted Brass Barreled Blunderbuss

Lot #39 (Sale Order 39 of 1099)

Bore about 1.9" at muzzle, 18" brass barrel with flared muzzle. The top of the barrel is marked "LONDON / WARRANTED" but the barrel shows no British proofs. The lock is convex shaped with a pronounced teat at rear, is 6 3/4" in length and bears a single crown proofmark that appears Continental, possibly Austrian or German. The gun was converted to percussion via the drum and nipple (nipple now broken) with a heavy handmade percussion hammer. The barrel bears a pleasing even mellow patina overall with some dark staining in the area of the drum. The lock is a medium gray/brown patina which is mostly smooth but with a few old light impact marks and scratches. The stock has a brass triggerguard and buttplate, both with long tangs and the lock screws have no sideplate or washers which is interesting. The stock has a checkered wrist and rates near excellent with long repaired cracks along each side of the barrel that could likely be better camouflaged. The stock shows lots of original finish and has nice sharp edges. The forend tip is painted black to make it appear as a higher grade gun with a horn or ebony tip. The gun has an iron ramrod that appears to be period and correct. Overall a very interesting and nice blunderbuss in percussion converted form. (18397-52) {ANTIQUE}

Rare Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #43 (Sale Order 43 of 1099)

serial #353837, 38 Colt Special, 5 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore. Only 82 standard frame Colt Single Action Army Revolvers were chambered in 38 Colt Special as it, and its identical twin the 38 S&W Special, did not gain a huge following until after WW II (The 36 Calibers of the Colt by David Brown). The metal surfaces of this 1930 made revolver retain about 70% original factory finishes.

The metal is smooth for the most part with the frame exhibiting some silvery flaking case-hardening with remnants of pale blue on the trigger and a smoky mottled case-hardening on the hammer. The numbers are matching on frame, barrel, triggerguard, backstrap and cylinder. The smooth walnut one piece grip rates very good plus as lightly cleaned many years ago, showing re-acquired dings and chips along the sharp edge right side of butt. The grip number is no longer discernible however there is a light 1884-dated left-side Frank Heath cartouche; the grip still fitting very nicely. The revolver exhibits David Clark's inspectors markings along with a very good left-side "U.S." property marking and numerous sub inspector "G" stampings. The head of the cylinder base pin is somewhat scarred up and the ejector rod head is slightly bent but the gun times well mechanically and lockup is good. (38346-5) {ANTIQUE}

Extremely Rare Original Case V-42 Commando Stiletto Belonging To Staff Sgt. Charles J. Stressler

Lot #50 (Sale Order 50 of 1099)

Manufactured by the Case Knife Co. in 1942, 3600 knives were made, about 70 with short scabbards to the U.S.N. with the remainder going to the First Special Force, which because of its acuities was connected to the O.S.S. When the O.S.S. was disbanded the knives were put in a storage facility until the creation of the C.I.A. and when the Special Forces was formed as part of it on June 20th., 1952, those surplus knives were issued only to Special Forces Members. Charles Stressler was issued one of those knives and was quoted as saying "I had no idea what it was or its history. The thing I vividly did remember was the long sheath, everyone joked how we looked like gunslingers. At the time of issue, we were told if one of these knives were "misplaced" there would be an investigation, just as if you lost a Colt .45. The skull crusher, the shape of the blade made it deadly for someone on the receiving end. It was impressive, I for one know (I used mine) it saved my life on more than ONE occurrence and of the 23 other G.I.'s". The knife measurers 12 1/2" from the tip of the blade to the skull crusher pommel with a 7 1/2" double edged blade having a diamond shaped grind and a 1 1/2" ricasso with grooved thumb print above "CASE" on the reverse side. The condition of the knife is fine with finish wear expected with years of combat service, the tip sharp and minor abrasions along the edges that can be felt but not seen. The iron surfaces retain about 90% original blue, loss due to light edge wear and pewter toning on the thumb print and mainly the first 2 1/2" of the tip. The oval aluminum guard remains bright and the leather backing fully intact. The stacked thin leather washer handle is in similar condition with very minor carry wear present. The russet leather scabbard rates excellent measuring 19 1/4" long and has a riveted belt loop and a lozenge shaped stapled handle strap. There are eight steel staples in the throat, seven lozenge-shaped, staples on either side of the stitched seams and a brass lanyard ring at the tip. The leather showing only minor staining and handling wear. Charles J. Stressler (Staff Sgt. E-6) was a member of 77th. Spec. Fcs. GP. in 1954 and awarded the SR. Parachutist Badge for over 40 jumps, Combat Action Badge for Black Ops missions 1954-1955 in Cuba, Special Ops diver-scuba and demolitions 2nd. Recon Co. U.S.M.C. and unknown service medals because all his records are sealed. SSG. Stressler (June 20, 1936-June 19, 2017) lived 81 years and left us one day before his birthday and ironically enough the day before the anniversary of the Special Forces formation. Included with the knife is a modern W.R. Case magnetic walnut display case with etched glass lid, and a signed notarized statement from the consignor, detailing his relationship with Sgt. Stressler and his acquisition of the knife; a photo of the Staff Sgt. in jump gear is included as well. A fabulous V-42 stiletto carried by one of our elite fighting men who protected his knife like it protected him. (58368-13)

Pair of British Flintlock Dueling Pistols by Samuel Brunn

Lot #55 (Sale Order 55 of 1099)

.65 cal, 9" octagon barrels with very good plus and good to near very good bores respectively, one with light oxidation, the other slightly more prominent with some light pitting. One barrel is a smooth gray patina with hints of plum, the other showing more wear, it is a dull pewter patina with light oxidation staining and some light pitting, most prominent around the touchole. Both lockplates are primarily a smooth gray patina and are stepped at their rear, each with a prominent teat. Both are marked by the maker "S Brunn" and feature roller frizzens and sliding safeties. The swan neck cocks are graceful and each has a rearward flourish at the top of its top jaw guide. The top of each barrel is marked "No. 55 Charing Cross-London", this should have been circa 1797. There are a single ramrod thimble and a sculpted and engraved ramrod tailpipe with ornate triggerguards with roundel extensions at the front root which are neatly engraved, the trigger plates each engraved with a pineapple finial front extension. The English walnut stocks are lovely with recurving butts, each rating very good with only light handling marks and dings from the years, one slightly more used than the other, each with a small crack at their nose (the more-used pistol also has a couple of lengthy drying cracks along the top left edge). Each features an un-engraved shield-shaped silver monogram plate atop the wrist and each is fitted with a silver front sight which has tarnished from the years. Barrels are retained with dual iron wedges and what appears to be the original brass tipped ramrods are present with each. Samuel Brunn was an extremely well-thought-of and talented cutler, silversmith, sword maker and gunsmith and in the period 1797-1809 was Contractor to the Board of Ordnance, Cutler to the Patriotic Fund, received an appointment to the Prince of Wales (George IV) in the period 1800-1811, who then became Prince Regent and reigned due to the mental incompetence of King George III; making both guns and swords for other members of the royal family. It would seem that his business faltered in 1820, he having filed bankruptcy in May and June of that year. Research indicates that he died penniless, a very sad end for a man who made such fine fine pistols; there is an extremely ornate pair of his pistols on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Included is what is likely the original case that is in a state of restoration. The exterior has a thick coat of varnish and its catches are gone, the lid had cracked with the years and now has some thin strips of repair wood fitted. There is the typical circular brass lid handle inletted into the lid and the bottom of the case has been replaced with a newer piece of wood. The interior has the beginnings of some green felt lining but the compartments are no longer present. The arms seem as though they would fit well in the case were it restored. A lovely pair of pistols from a quality maker. (38341-1) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #70 (Sale Order 70 of 1099)

serial #3333, 257 Roberts, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95% custom gunmaker blue, the loss is due primarily to even light fading and high edge and contact point wear, the bottom metal with some light scratches. The bolt body remains mostly bright and is appropriately numbered to the gun, the knob toning to a dull pewter patina. The most striking thing about this rifle is its stock. What appears very much to be an original Winchester pre-war Model 70 stock has been expertly checkered and carved in a manner which is so identical to custom gunmaker Fred Adolph's work that it is impossible for this writer to believe it was not done by his hand. Unfortunately this rifle was made in 1938, and according to the man who would you know better than anyone, Mike Petrov, Fred Adolph was then working at Ford Motor Company (1936-1957) and no longer doing gun work. Further evidence of Adolph's hand shows two oblong, neatly milled panel replacements at the left and right mid-stock where Fred Adolph normally had oblong checkered and carved panels; these "repair panels" are highly figured walnut. There is absolutely no reason for these panels to have been done other than to replace checkered panels a subsequent owner of the rifle may have found objectionable, when carrying the gun mid-stock at its natural balance point. The rifle has a Griffin & Howe quick-detach scope base and ring set installed along with corresponding G&H replacement low scope safety, there exists every possibility that this wonderful checkering was done at Griffin & Howe, at which time there were also Super Grade-style swivels expertly milled and installed as well. Sadly some 1950s-era gunsmith felt it necessary to install white line spacers at the ebony forend tip and at the Winchester Repeating Arms Company hard rubber pistolgrip cap, doubtless at the same time the early Pachmayr Gun Works rifle pad with dual white lines was fitted, again this being clearly later 50s-era work (the length of pull is 13 3/4"). The stock itself rates otherwise very good plus to excellent showing only minor handling marks from the years. The rifle is sighted with a Marbles Sheard style brass bead front and Winchester-style No. 6 folding dual leaf rear sight. The scope rings support a 2 1/2X Lyman Alaskan telescopic sight with post and crosshair reticle and bright excellent optics. A very lovely rifle overall with some absolutely superb checkering, nicely sighted and in an excellent North American caliber, with the added bonus of having an unusual and desirable serial number configuration.

Fine U.S. Model 1808 Contract Musket by J. & C. Barstow of Exeter, New Hampshire

Lot #88 (Sale Order 88 of 1099)

.69 caliber, 44 5/8" barrel. This is a very honest musket which bears the more unusual markings. The rear of the lockplate is marked vertically "J.&C. B / EXETER" with large federal eagle over "US" ahead of cock. The barrel is marked "EXETER" and has a heart-shaped proofmark while the inside of the lock is stamped "N.CATE". The musket remains in original flintlock configuration with the frizzen being resurfaced during the period and the touchhole worn open. All markings in metal remain clear and legible and the metal surfaces have a wonderful untouched rich brown painta overall. There is pitting in the area of the touchhole along with some old scattered light surface oxidation and some light pitting here and there. The stock is a rich dark brown color with crisp, well-defined edges and a crack and missing sliver at the top of the "S" shaped sideplate - the wrist is sound and this damage is cosmetic in nature. The left side of the butt is deeply period branded "B.BROWN" no doubt the name of the militiaman who carried this musket or a very early owner. This mark is completely honest and very endearing. The three spring fastened barrel bands all bear the same matching, rich dark patina as the balance of the gun. The collectors notes state that he purchased this musket in 1997 from a Forest Hills, NY man who purchased it in 1955 from Norm Flayderman. A quick check of the D.A.R. records shows only five "Browns" who served N.H. regiments during the Revolutionary War; it would seem self-evident that the younger of the lot would have also answered the call in 1812, he'd have been 55. This is a very honest and untouched Exeter musket. (18397-38) {ANTIQUE}

The nicely checkered walnut grips with smooth borders rate very good plus to excellent showing minor compression and they are not numbered on their interior. Included is a single bright-bodied, wood-based magazine which is correctly un-marked, but includes the name "R. Marti" hand inscribed on the body which rate very good overall with light operational wear and oxidation staining. Included with this pistol is a brown leather Swiss proofed holster stamped "A. Tinguely/Tafers 42" on the back and a "(Swiss cross)/J" inside the flap. This holster rates about excellent overall with very minor handling marks and includes an external magazine pouch. The closure strap is intact, the seam stitching remains intact around its periphery, the D-rings are present and intact on both sides and the accompanying leather shoulder strap is also included with buckle, keeper and metal clips intact as well. Included with the holster is a second bright-bodied, wood-based magazine which is un-marked and rates excellent overall. Overall a very attractive numbers matching Waffenfabrik Bern Luger with an excellent condition holster rig. (218400-2) {C&R}

Rare A.J. Peavey Patent Knife Pistol

Lot #93 (Sale Order 93 of 1099)

serial # 428, .22 RF, 3" barrel with a lightly oxidized bore, also showing a few light pits. The iron surfaces of the barrel and firing assembly are a pleasing gray-plum patina with a few spots of light oxidation, with the body of the pistol and frame of firing mechanism numbered alike. The mechanism cocks as-designed and works properly with a robust spring, it would appear as though the patent markings were cleaned from the reverse side of the "hammer" many years ago; a ghost of the 1866 patent can be detected under magnification. The knife blade is a pewter gray and mottled dark brown patina, also with some light oxidation or scattered light pits here and there. It is marked "American/Hunting Knife" on its reverse side, with what is likely a retailer marking "I.COPLEY" on the ricasso. The blade shows old evidence of having been sharpened, the blade closure spring being slightly weak. The body of the knife-pistol is a dull ochre patina with the high spots more of a tarnished goldenrod patina. As-is common on these little knife pistols, the grip scales are not present. The rivets are tight and there are the minor small dings or impact marks one would expect from the years. Overall a very nice example of these very seldom-encountered knife-pistols from the 1860's-70's. (38147-1){ANTIQUE}

Rare U.S. Small Arms Company Huntsman Model Knife Pistol

Lot #94 (Sale Order 94 of 1099)

.22 RF, 1 1/8" barrel with a very good bore. The metal surfaces on this very rare little combination knife-pistol are primarily a pewter gray patina with scattered light oxidation and light pitting remnants along its left scale, the right scale smoother showing evidence of an older cleaning many years ago which was lightly done. The pistol is marked only "Patented" on the hinged barrel section and the clip-point blade is 2 3/4" in length. The blade itself shows evidence of moderate sharpening over the years which has altered its original configuration, the center swelled section is now rather concave. The mechanism seems to work crisply with a strong striker spring. Overall an intriguing and very good example of these very rarely-encountered knife-pistols. These arms are specifically exempted from the conditions of the NFA, by BATFE. (36520-4515) {C&R}[Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

Very Fine Brass-Barreled Muzzle Loading Cannon

Lot #95 (Sale Order 95 of 1099)

This is a high-quality brass-barreled cannon with mahogany carriage which appears very much to be a product of the Strong Firearms or J.H. Snelling companies, certainly of their quality. The barrel is roughly 19" long from the muzzle lip to cascabel with a 1 7/16" bore about 15 5/8" deep, with an only very lightly oxidized bore. The barrel features a slightly flared muzzle, single astragal with fillets, straight chase to the breech reinforce, the reinforce chase plain to the base ring and cascabel. All the brass hardware is a lovely dull ochre patina, the barrel with the expected very sparsely scattered very light dings here or there. The vent hole is iron lined and there are old and neatly dressed remnants of attaching hardware adjacent to it which doubtless attached some manner of percussion or trip-hammer style lock to the rear of the gun. The naval or garrison-style carriage is very nicely constructed with mahogany cheeks and stretcher with oak axles, very neatly capped in brass. The turned wooden tires are each retained by a single brass pin, rating very good showing only very light drying checks on the surface of the tires. There is a very nice dovetailed mahogany elevator with a brass knob and the capsquares are retained with iron pins (two have fractured at some point now being slightly shorter than original, they are still fully functional and this is unobtrusive). The balance of all the hardware is quality-made and is brass including the left and right side eyelets for attaching gun tackle. Overall an extremely finely-made piece of naval saluting hardware. (38343-1)

Exceptional Firing Scale Model 12 Pound Napoleon Gun and Limber

Lot #96 (Sale Order 96 of 1099)

This is an extremely detailed and nicely hand-painted scale model of the U.S. 12-pound Napoleon gun. The barrel is of brass and is nearly a foot long with a .72 caliber bore which is bright excellent. The barrel has a nice slightly raised muzzle face with the muzzle flare perfectly imitating the full-scale gun which it represents, even the transition from tapered to round just behind the trunnions is a perfect representation. The gun, in addition to being properly bored, is also vented and will take firecracker fuse, it shows no signs of having been fired. The correct No. 2 style field carriage is constructed of walnut with reinforced trunnion plates on the cheeks left and right, banded in blackened brass. The cheeks and the trail have all of the appropriate hardware in miniature, the axle is fabricated of steel bar. The trail plate is properly affixed with one hinged, and one fixed, pointing ring and there is a nicely detailed sponge and rammer chain plate attached to the underside of the trail. The wheels are very nicely made and actually include separate felloes, spokes, and hubs with iron tires. The interior edges of the hubs are neatly banded in brass while the exterior outer axle tips are capped with nicely turned octagonal brass caps. The wheels have been neatly accented with gold paint with a red border and green accenting outer stripe around their circumference, on the interior of each felloe, on each spoke and around the circumference of the hubs. A nice miniature tar bucket hangs on the right cheek. The limber is equally nicely made, also of walnut, and is very detailed; the lid is hinged with a very nice locking hasp. The wheels are very nicely hand-painted and decorated identically to those on the cannon itself. The limber pole had broken at some point but has been very neatly repaired; it is unobtrusive. One of the capsquares is a later replacement as the brass is a lighter gauge. This cannon and limber are completely handmade, as are all of the hardware, clearly by a craftsman who was very talented. The overall length when assembled is roughly 37". Really a superbly handcrafted scale model, quality throughout. (38343-2)

Brass-Barreled One Third Scale Coehorn Mortar

Lot #97 (Sale Order 97 of 1099)

This is a very nicely-made scale model of a British Coehorn mortar. The barrel is 7" in length with a 2 1/8" in diameter bore roughly 2 1/2" deep with a roughly 1 1/4" powder reservoir about 2" deep. The barrel is a nicely tarnished ochre patina and features a nice scalloped vent afield with two nicely applied dolphins midway. The muzzle face is flat and there are three astragal with fillets counting the muzzle ring. The right trunnion is marked "13/inch", the left is un-marked. The barrel sits atop a very nice sledge base of softwood, walnut-stained. The mortar bed itself measures 13 1/2" in length and is 5 1/4" wide with a height of 4". There are three iron bands across its top flat with eyelets and rings for lashing and carrying in place. There are two iron capsquares retained by four wedges through iron eyelets, all of the iron hardware shows a very pleasing lightly browned oxidation-finish. It would appear at some point as though there were small decorations or eyelets or false bolts mounted to the sides and front of the sledge, they are no longer present but certainly could be easily fabricated if one wished. For my money, bumper pool table balls are 2 1/8" in diameter and Aramith makes a snooker ball set in the same diameter; I would leave the mortar as-is and lob a few downrange. Overall a quality-made mortar and bed that is a very attractive display piece that certainly could be used for a bit of target practice. (38343-5)

Brass-Barreled Muzzle Loading Cannon

Lot #98 (Sale Order 98 of 1099)

This is an extremely nicely made model of a naval cannon featuring a brass barrel 15 1/8" long from muzzle lip to rear of cascabel with a 1 1/16" bore roughly about 10 3/4" deep, with a lightly oxidized bore. The barrel features a pronounced flared muzzle, single astragal from muzzle chase to the first reinforce, with additional astragals at the reinforce and breech. The trunnions are offset on this example and there is a naval-style eyelet loop atop the cascabel. This example features a raised vent field, both vent field and the eyelet having been made as separate pieces which are solidly pinned to the arm with iron rivets; very quality constructed throughout. The tube is mounted atop what appears to be a mahogany-constructed naval or garrison style carriage with a single stretcher and stepped cheeks. The wheels are nicely turned mahogany and retained by circled retention pins of iron. The capsquares and wedge eyelets are of brass as are the gun tackle eyes and rings attached to the cheeks of the carriage. There is a nice dovetailed barrel elevator with turned handle present as well and the construction is quality throughout. Overall a superb little salute cannon. (38343-3)

Unmarked Brass-Barrel Muzzleloading Cannon

Lot #99 (Sale Order 99 of 1099)

.65 cal., 17 3/4" barrel with an oxidized bore which may clean up well. The barrel is a lovely tarnished ochre patina with a neatly flared muzzle and smooth chases all the way to the rounded cascabel. The barrel is vented and shows evidence of having been fired, the area around the vent being a darker chocolate brown patina; the left trunnion is marked "58" and has what appears to be a broad arrow marking which is somewhat rudimentary. The barrel is set onto matching top and bottom capsquares, retained by iron bolts which go completely through the left and right cheeks of the carriage. The naval or garrison style carriage appears to be mahogany and rates very good plus with some minor dings and chips here and there, primarily in the areas around the capsquares, showing a few spots of water streaking on the right cheek. There is a single mahogany stretcher between the cheeks and both axles are solid brass and have nicely turned oak wheels, each retained with a single brass pin. The eyelets for gun tackle are made of brass, the right rear is an iron replacement from the period of use, the left eyelet no longer present. There is a checkered knob atop a threaded rod through the rear axle which serves as an elevation adjustment. The barrel shows a few very sparsely scattered very light dings or handling marks here and there from the years but they are very unobtrusive. While unmarked, this is a very nicely-made, nice quality cannon overall. (38343-4)

He became a professor of military tactics at MIT and Harvard. A folder of pension records, of General Burrell and some other information comes with the sword. As Moore was a Massachusetts General, there is no information in the U.S. Archives. A copy from the reprinted Ames book shows this sword listed as a "General's Sword". A great Ames presentation sword with lots of associated names. This should be a fun one to research and it has condition galore. (18357-32)

Lot #106 (Sale Order 106 of 1099)

serial #15457S69, 12 ga., 28" barrels choked skeet and skeet with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to just some even light fading and some light muzzle wear, the French gray at the bolsters very brilliant, the forend iron showing a bit of oxidation at its rear. The pigeon grade frame remains very nice with some light toning of the French gray and an area of light surface oxidation on the right belly of the frame which was very lightly cleaned and has left behind a light salt-and-pepper speckling of oxidation remnants.

The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and the skeet style forend rate about very good with a small handful of minor dings and handling marks here and there. The high-gloss finish shows some crazing in the buttstock and there is a small crack beginning atop the rear tang and on the left side stock cheek. The forend is similar with some very nice grain figure, both pieces of wood showing some darkening where wood meets steel, perhaps signifying evidence of salt contamination. The rib is equipped with dual white target beads and the gun still locks up well and seems to function well mechanically. A very good pigeon grade skeeter manufactured in 1969. (38342-2) {MODERN}

The specialty grade engraved frame and lockplates retain about 92-95% original color case-hardening which is muted to a silvery case-hardened patina on the round carry portion of the frame, also showing a bit of light pinprick pitting in this area.

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 1099)

serial #RE84789, 12 ga., 32" ventilated rib barrels choked full and full with about excellent bores which show a small ding in the right tube 3" from the muzzle and a couple professionally raised dents in the left tube, one about 6" from the muzzle and the other just ahead of the forend on its underside. The barrels retain about 75% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, and some sparsely scattered very light handling marks (a few minor scratches halfway down the right tube). There are some areas of light oxidation, some of which have left some light pinprick pitting near the breeches and near the muzzles. The frame and lockplates show the typical Specialty Grade engraving with loose open scroll and gamebird vignettes left and right. They are primarily a silvery smoky case-hardened patina with strong trace case colors behind the fences and around the contour line of the frame, showing some sparsely scattered light pinprick pitting; the bow of the guard shows remnants of original blue. The checkered walnut pistolgrip stock rates about very good with much original varnish and only light dings and handling marks from the years. There is a flake missing from behind the right lockplate and a small chip missing beneath it where stock meets frame, two cracks at the rear of the lockplate could easily be arrested if one wished. The left side of the stock shows a crack from the upper tang to the lockplate which seems tight and was likely effectively repaired. The special order beavertail forend rates very good as well with much original varnish and the checkering worn to flat-top. There has been a Morgan adjustable recoil pad professionally fitted for a 14 1/4" length of pull with drops of 1 1/8" and 1 7/8". The gun locks up tight, seems to function well mechanically and features dual ivory beads, single selective Hunter One Trigger and ejectors.

Colt Single Action Army Frontier Six Shooter Revolver

Lot #109 (Sale Order 109 of 1099)

serial #72728, .44-40 WCF, 5 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a very interesting revolver, and did not start life off as a Frontier Six Shooter, yet was clearly converted to that configuration by the factory during the period of use. The barrel retains about 95-97% original blue, the main loss being muzzle wear and a slight regulation of the front sight. The cylinder shows a bit more wear retaining perhaps 90% original blue with wear along the leading edges and a prominent turn ring on the cylinder. The frame retains about 97% Colt factory color case-hardening with some mild toning on the high edges and contact points, the hammer shows some flaky trace color case-hardening. The triggerguard and backstrap retain perhaps 95% Colt factory blue and there is a small threaded hole on the bottom of the butt and bottom rear of backstrap, perhaps for lanyard loop or perhaps for some shoulder stock attachment used to during the period. The one piece walnut grip rates very good with flaking varnish and high-grade burl figure, it fits very well but it is numbered "8186". There is a tiny slot cut into the top of the frame at the sighting groove, one side of which has been neatly filled (the other slot blank has fallen out), likely where there was once a rear sight blade installed, additionally the front sight blade has been slightly modified with a needle file to provide a "bead-style" sight picture. The included factory letter shows shipment in January 1882 to Schoverling Daly & Gales of New York City as a 45 Colt. Colt factory rework and rebuild marks however, "960B", are found on the inside of the backstrap, triggerguard, bottom of frame, root of the barrel beneath the ejector rod housing, underside of ejector rod housing and on the face of the cylinder, it would also appear as though the arm were factory refinished at the same time the conversion to 44-40 was done as the serial numbers are slightly light on the triggerguard and backstrap. Also included with the arm is an image of the consignors grandfathers firearms inventory book dated 1932, in which he mentions the arm was once a 45 Colt, logically dating the time of this arm's conversion to the early 1930s. The gun seems to time well and lockup properly. A very interesting factory-modified Single Action Army revolver. (38341-3) {ANTIQUE}

The roll-marked "Colt Frontier Six Shooter" is still prominent on the left side of the barrel and numbers are matching on frame, triggerguard and backstrap. There is the remnant of an oddly scattered pinprick pit here or there but they are very sparse and unobtrusive; the screw heads are overall unmaligned. The checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips rate about good, worn nearly smooth, the right grip with a small chip missing from its leading edge; they are un-numbered. The head of the cylinder base pin is slightly damaged however the gun does time and lockup well, albeit slightly loosely. This revolver has an overall very clean "frontier-used" look to it; manufactured 1900. (38171-23) {C&R}

Smith & Wesson 22/32 Heavy Frame Target Revolver with Niedner Barrel and Single Digit Serial Number

Lot #123 (Sale Order 123 of 1099)

serial #2, 22 LR, 8 1/2" A.O. Niedner barrel with Malden Mass. address, and a bright excellent bore. This is an interesting revolver which appears to be correctly marked but has also had a bit of a hard life. The barrel retains perhaps 40% of what is likely Niedner's blue, the balance a pewter and flaked brown patina, also with a few dings and handling marks and some light pitting nearer the muzzle. Much of the frame was cleaned as well and shows a later blue, with remnants of pitting along the sides of the topstrap and some tool and impact marks on the exterior surfaces of the crane and a few on the frame proper. The hammer has had its spur shortened and was reblued when the frame was done, however the trigger retains some very good color case-hardening. The checkered walnut Smith & Wesson grips with 1917 patent date rate very good plus to near excellent, the right is pencil numbered to a different gun (16596). The bottom of the butt appears to have original Smith & Wesson polish and was unmolested during the cleaning of the upper portion of the frame, it is stamped only with a number "2", as-is the rear of the cylinder. While this makes no sense given the serial number range that these arms fall into, perhaps internally this was some type of shop sample or toolroom gun later "liberated" by some employee. The cylinder chambers are not recessed, which may be the key to the gun's interesting numbering; the assembly numbers on the frame and the crane match one another and the gun operates properly mechanically. A very interesting 22/32 overall with a very nice Niedner barrel and intriguing serial number. (37147-109) {C&R}

This model rifle was an early U.S. military bolt action that was adopted in limited numbers in the 1880's with only 753 being produced. The magazine cutoff does not appear to be working and the cleaning rod may be a later replacement. A very good example of a Chaffe Reese bolt action rifle. (208318-1) {ANTIQUE}

He would eventually command the Ballistics Bureau as Sergeant, having been part of that Bureau since its inception in May 1930; his testimony can be found in a number of published court cases which took place in the City of New York, many an interesting read. Overall a very nice-condition early Officers Model revolver, manufactured in 1923, all the more interesting having been owned by this prominent New York Police Department officer and ballistician.

Custom Engraved Winchester Model 63 Semi-Automatic Rifle

Lot #161 (Sale Order 161 of 1099)

serial #90674, 22 LR, 23" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this lovely rifle retain about 99% excellent quality engraver deep blue. The receiver has been very nicely engraved in a loose open flowing scroll on both frame flats and its top radius, accented with background punch-dot shading.

The rifle is stocked in a nice grade of American black walnut and features fancy checkered grip panels, with a very nice arrow-type motif, and additional extended panels to the rear of the pistolgrip. The forend features a similar wrap-around pattern with a ribbon extending through its center. The stocks themselves rate excellent with a nice low luster satin finish, the forend with a small ding, the buttstock with a few extremely minor handling marks along the toeline. The engraving appears to be un-signed, however there is a neatly stamped "AH" just to the rear of the triggerguard, whether this is an engraver's or a factory marking is not known. Overall really a very lovely Model 63 with a super bore, very tastefully and neatly embellished. (38320-114) {MODERN}

Winchester Model 12 Trap Shotgun with Hydra-Coil Stock

Lot #162 (Sale Order 162 of 1099)

serial #1965143, 12 ga., 30" milled ventilated rib barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this interesting trap shotgun retain about 98% original blue, the loss is due to some light fading, operational wear on the magazine tube, action bar and on the frame where the trigger finger normally rests. The breech bolt and carrier remain mostly bright, the carrier with only some very light staining. This shotgun is equipped with factory synthetic Hydra-coil stock and synthetic extended semi beavertail style forend, both of which rate about excellent, the stock showing one small area of flaking about 1/2" long on its right side to the rear of the pistolgrip; the forend shows a small spot of crazing as well but it is unobtrusive. Oddly the soldered boss on the underside of the barrel to-which the magazine tube hanger screws abut (which keeps the magazine tube band from moving) has gone missing, only its soldered line remains on the barrel. There is a thin shim of brass in place which seems to have tightened the band appropriately, there is however bluing loss evident from its forward and rearward movement over the years. Any gunsmith worth his salt (or salts as the case may be) could fabricate a new part easily and soft solder it in place without affecting the blue. The gun seems to function well otherwise and has been fitted with a Williams giant head left-hand safety, the Hydra coil feature seems to work as-designed. (38358-18) {MODERN}

The frame has been lightly polished and is now a silvery-pewter patina.

The forend is in similar condition, the metal slightly proud at its rear edge showing a repaired crack at the left forend iron screw. The length of pull to the 1" Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad is 14 1/4". The arm needs mechanical attention as it will not fire although lockup seems tight. (38411-18) {C&R}

The metal surfaces of this rifle retain about 88% original blue with high edge wear, some scattered freckling, some minor thinning to brownish gray throughout, and the grooved steel buttplate worn to silver.

Winchester Model 1894 Three Digit Special Order Takedown Rifle

serial #828, 38-55, 26" octagon barrel with full magazine and a very good plus bore remaining bright showing good clean rifling with some scattered light frosting and oxidation. This is a neat rifle in standard configuration except for its takedown feature and during 1894 only eighteen 1894's were made in takedown design. Rennebberg in his Winchester 1894 reference book, page 30, calls this a first year gun but a "second model" as the cartridge guide screws enter from the inside and the engineering change did not occur in production until serial number reached the "teen hundreds" in the second year of production. The barrel has toned to a pleasing overall brown patina and the magazine tube a smooth brown with traces of original blue along the protected edges of the barrel. The action has an attractive smooth gray patina with light brown highlights. The plain straight grip walnut stock and forend rate excellent with only a couple very minor light blemishes, and at some time in the past has had a little hand rubbed applied oil over the original varnish with no evidence of any sanding. The wood to metal fit is tight and precise. Rifle is sighted with a Lyman No. 4 front sight and original series 22 flat top rear sight. The included factory letter confirms configuration and lists the rifle being received in the warehouse on December 21, 1894 and being shipped from the warehouse that very same day. Included with the rifle is an original light green Winchester "Shotguns & Rifles" instruction booklet having a couple light tears and age staining but is otherwise complete and intact. An excellent early three digit first year of production 1894 Takedown rifle in a desirable chambering. (57889-51) {ANTIQUE}[Alan Wilson Collection]

The stock is fitted with a checkered steel shotgun buttplate retaining all its original finish and has a vacant hole where a stud no doubt was. The left side of the rear band shows a very small impact mark that normally wouldn't even warrant mention. The mouth of the chamber, breech face and extractor are immaculate and show no evidence of ever having been in contact with a piece of brass. A high condition 1948 manufactured carbine would be very difficult to upgrade from. (58397-6) {C&R}

Unmarked German Under Lever Double Hammer Rifle

Lot #214 (Sale Order 214 of 1099)

45 cal. (10.6 mm), 25 1/2" barrels with very good plus-fine bores which show strong rifling and are mostly bright also with scattered very light pinprick pitting or light oxidation, more prominent in the right barrel. The barrels retain about 75% original blue, the loss is due to some muzzle wear and toning to plum brown along with a few scattered dings and handling marks, some sparsely scattered oxidation and a few spots of light pinprick pitting on the barrel about midway down its length. The frame retains about 80% original color case-hardening with the back-action lockplates retaining perhaps 50%, with some strong colors on the hammers.

The gun features tight good quality scroll in about 70% coverage with the hammers being very graceful and attractive. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock rates very good with minor dings and handling marks and shows some very nice fiddleback grain. It is equipped with a flared left side cheekpiece and color case-hardened buttplate which still shows some strong colors, giving a 13 5/8" length of pull and has a nicely checkered grip. There are a couple of light cracks between the right side of the tang and upper portion of right lockplate, they are however tight and will not flex. The splinter style forend is near completely checkered and rates about very good with some thin slivered chips along its upper right rear edge. The hammers are rebounding and the gun is equipped with a right side single set trigger. There is a simple blade front sight, shallow U-notch rear sight and a nice flip-up peepsight fitted into the tang. The gun seems to function well mechanically. Measurement of the included chamber cast seems to indicate that the caliber is 10.5x47R or at least very close, the underside of the barrel is stamped "10.6". The 45-50 Martini Sporting is very close as well and has a .452" bore diameter, identical to this arm (German bore diameter measures the lands while American bore diameter measures the grooves) brass can be manufactured from 43 Spanish basic and .452 moulds are readily available. Shooting a 260-270 grain bullet, this rifle should be perfectly adequate for any North American deer-sized game. A very attractive little German double hammer rifle overall. (38352-2) {C&R}

The smooth Circassian walnut thumbhole stock rates excellent to as-new with a very light handling mark here or there, one must really look to find them. It features a flared right-side cheekpiece and ebony forend tip and grip cap accented with maple spacers. There is a dual arrowhead marquetry inlay of maple and ebony in the center of the forearm, flawlessly executed. Lawson's rifles feature a very straight-line comb for recoil manageability and this example has nice finger grooves in the forearm area. Mr. Lawson would start with a Remington 600 or 650 action and customize the rifle from there. There is a custom bolt shroud and push-button safety at the rear of the triggerguard. This example features a steel one piece Burris ring and base set with 1" scope rings. The length of pull to the Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad is 13 1/2". Really a lovely example overall of these very sought-after Lawson sporters, made by the man himself. (38113-29) {MODERN}

Custom German Weatherby Mark V Bolt Action Rifle by George Leinsing

Lot #216 (Sale Order 216 of 1099)

serial #P11062, 30-06, 24" barrel with a bright about excellent bore.

The sides of the action, bolt shroud and first 7" of the barrel have been neatly etch-engraved in a loose open scroll pattern with a background stippling as accent. The floorplate features the same loose open scroll with an engraved game scene vignette at its center, showing a mountainous background with a gold inlaid bull moose grazing in a mountain pond amidst lily pads which are inlaid in silver; the engraving is somewhat folky. The rifle has been stocked in black myrtlewood Monte Carlo style with a stylized rollover shadowline cheekpiece and with cast-off to accommodate a right-hand shooter. The stock itself rates very good plus to excellent with only a handful of minor handling marks from the years. It features coarse skip-line checkering at the grip and forearm and there have been nicely-carved bone forend tip and gripcap fitted. The pistolgrip cap features a relief-carved snarling bear head while the forend tip features a nice depiction of a bighorn sheep head. The rifle is sighted with silver-soldered Williams streamlined hooded ramp front and a Lyman folding leaf rear sight loosely fitted to a short sight base which originally accommodated a much larger, perhaps express, sight. The left side of the action has been very neatly drilled and tapped for a Jaeger quick-release telescopic sight mount with 1" engraved rings. The ring set supports a Redfield 3 x 9 scope with duplex rangefinding reticle and bright excellent optics. The scope itself rates about excellent with only some very minor handling marks. A rather nicely embellished, somewhat folky, Sauer & Son-manufactured German Weatherby Mark V. (38394-4) {MODERN}

Manhattan Navy Model Percussion Revolver with Contemporary Inscription

Lot #218 (Sale Order 218 of 1099)

serial #8219, .36 cal, 6 1/2" octagon barrel with a very good bore which shows sharp rifling but with light scattered pitting nearly its full-length. The barrel is an overall tarnished pewter and mottled brown patina with strong makers address, the loading lever a mottled case-hardened patina. The cylinder is similar in appearance with its five paneled vignettes still mostly crisp with a very good floral decoration in between. The frame is a mottled smoky gray and silvery case-hardened patina and is mostly smooth, as is the hammer and trigger. The triggerguard is a dull tarnished ochre patina with some generous trace silver plate at the root of the bow of the guard. The backstrap and butt are now more of a tarnished goldenrod, starting to reacquire a patina. The top of the backstrap near the knuckle is neatly engraved "USN" with the backstrap being engraved "Hendrick Sharp" and the flat of the butt "USS Richmond", all of these engravings are contemporary and much newer than the balance of the arm. The one piece walnut grip rates very good plus with much original varnish showing wear primarily along the sharp edges of the butt, minor dings and handling marks from the years, it is pencil-numbered to the gun. Mr. Hendrick Sharp, of New York City, was born in Spain enlisted and in the United States Navy. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry at his gun during the battle of Mobile Bay. Gun captain of a 100-pounder on the topgallant fo'castle on the U.S.S. Richmond, he fought his gun with skill and courage despite damage to his ship and the loss of several men on board due to enemy fire. The action resulted in the surrender of the rebel ram Tennessee and destruction of the batteries at Fort Morgan. Miraculously his valor and subsequent award was lost to the ages until recently re-discovered in the year 2009. Overall a very respectable and rather clean Manhattan revolver with a later, sadly spurious, inscription. (36229-644) {ANTIQUE}

Antique American Cast Iron American Eagle Sculpture

Lot #219 (Sale Order 219 of 1099)

This is a very nice, cast iron, two-piece mould, American Eagle with spread wings. There is no discernable foundry marking and the casting is an overall lightly oxidized brown patina, showing trace remnants of what is likely the original gold paint. The external width of the wingspan, wing tip-to-wing tip is 30 3/4" with a height of about 13 1/2". The depiction is spread-winged, head bowing forward, the talons grasping a cut-off stump or tree. There are two squarish cleats at the base of the tree for attachment to whatever base the sculpture is mounted to. While not able to be proven in any way, the piece was consigned from the Catskill area of New York State and was popularly said to have come from the former home of "Uncle Sam" himself, Samuel Wilson, of Troy, NY whom is celebrated as the model for "Uncle Sam". Wilson had a packing firm and indeed a house in Catskill, New York, the "Uncle Sam Bridge" connecting East and West Catskill is named in his honor. His former home, the "Castine/Huxton House" at 251 West Main Street in Catskill has two New York State historical markers in front of it. One which reads: "Martin Van Buren 8th President of the United States was married in this house to Hannah Hoes in 1807. House built in 1797"; the other: "Samuel Wilson, 'Uncle Sam' the official symbol of the U.S. lived here 1817-1823". A 1974 N.Y. Times article mentions the house as "

New England Percussion Sporting and Target Rifle by Edwin Wesson

Lot #220 (Sale Order 220 of 1099)

About .36 cal, 29" octagon barrel turned for starter and drilled for false muzzle (none is present) with a moderately oxidized bore. The barrel is an overall pleasing darker gray-plum patina with scattered light oxidation but no mentionable pitting. The front sight is a diminutive globe with simple post insert with a simple v-notch rear sight which is likely a much later gunsmith replacement, and a folding lollipop tang aperture sight, the tang also with a larger hole to the rear of this, which likely held of the original sight. The barrel frame, hammer, and back action "sideplate" show very light loose open scroll engraving, beneath a light coating of superficial oxidation. The German silver dual spur triggerguard shows some loose foliate engraving and filigree on the bow of the guard with some nice engraving on its rear extension. The German silver buttplate is faceted and lightly chiseled and features a sliding iron top cover, perhaps for caps, perhaps for the staff of a peepsight, it is lightly engraved as is the very nice toeplate. The pendulum style German silver patchbox is very nice and very "Edwin Wesson" and shows the same excellent quality open loose flowing scroll as the balance of the arm. The highly figured English walnut buttstock rates otherwise very good to near excellent with much original varnish and only light handling marks and dings, were it not for a crack completely through the wrist due to the highly figured nature of the wood. This crack was repaired during the period of use with an iron and a tin strap, affixed with brads and small screws, it appears to be fairly rugged and will not flex but is also somewhat rudimentary. The left side of the buttstock shows an oval German silver monogram plate which is engraved with nice scroll. The arm features a dual-acting lock mechanism and double set triggers and what is likely its original ramrod is present. The top of the barrel is marked only "Wesson/Hartford/Cast Steel", and is not serial numbered. It is speculated that this is likely a gun started by Wesson before his sudden and untimely death, the company having run for a full year after his death by its financial backers. The serial or assembly number "80" is marked on both the frame and mating surface of the barrel, concealed when the gun is assembled. Overall a very nice Wesson single shot target and sporting rifle that had an unfortunate mishap many many years ago. (38345-3) {ANTIQUE}

These carbines are described on Pg. 342 of Robert Ball's monument work Mauser Military Rifles of the World, Fifth Edition as follows: "The largest known group is a batch of 400 Model 1892 Carbines made at Oberndorf in 7x57mm for the Spanish Navy. Although no clearly Spanish-marked carbines are known, it is believed that in keeping with Mauser company practice not to put national markings on test and trials rifles, (as with this carbine and the earlier lot of 1,200 M1891 7.65mm rifles), the 7mm carbine shown here is quite probably one of the 400 Spanish Navy carbines. While documentation exists on many other Model 1892 test rifles in calibers such as .303 British, .30-40 Krag and 8x58 Danish to name a few, the Spanish rifles are the only ones known so far in "7x57mm Mauser". The carbine pictured in Ball's book is serial number 974 and it appears to be identical in every way to this carbine. An interesting gun that was likely an early Spanish Navy carbine.

The metal surfaces of this derringer retain about 90-92% original nickel plating with flaking to brown along the gripstraps and frame and scattered light flaking along the barrels. The screws, hammer, latch, and ejector have mostly toned to a dark gray. The mother of pearl grips are probably later replacements as they are a little shy of fitting the frame perfectly, but are otherwise in very good condition with a few small cracks and dings. A nice example of these derringers that remains in fully functional condition. (138346-11) {ANTIQUE}[Richard Grundhofer Collection]

Remington Model 600 Bolt Action Carbine

Lot #461 (Sale Order 461 of 1099)

Description Update (8/17/17): Cal is 6mm Rem not 6.5 Rem mag

serial #77937, 6.5 Rem Mag, 18 1/2" ventilated rib barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this handy bolt gun retain about 98% original blue with a few minor handling marks. The rib shows some stress marks and a crack directly beneath the rear sight. The bolt body remains bright overall with some light scattered freckling and oxidation staining. The checkered walnut Monte Carlo pistolgrip stock remains in about very good condition overall with scattered small chips, dings, and bubbling and flaking of the finish throughout. The grooved black plastic Remington buttplate remains in very good condition with just a few scattered scuffs. There is a small import mark on the underside of the barrel and the rifle is drilled and tapped for a Weaver pivot mount that holds a Wega Sport 3-7x31 scope. The scope shows a few small dings and scratches but remains in very good condition and features a German #4 reticle with a slightly cloudy but very serviceable optics. This little carbine has seen some honest use but remains a very solid example overall. (138413-6) {MODERN}

Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot #462 (Sale Order 462 of 1099)

serial #430308, 32 ACP, 3 3/4" barrel with a very good bore showing some minor frosting and oxidation throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1923-made pistol retain about 96% original nickel plating with a few small areas of minor flaking and bubbling of the finish along with some light scratches, dings, and freckling. The original mother-of-pearl grips with Colt medallions remain in near excellent condition with a few small dings, two very small cracks around the right escutcheon, and a few handling marks. The frame and slide are matching and everything remains fully functional. One original nickel-plated magazine is included, making this a very nice example overall. (138410-24) {C&R}

CZ BRNO Model ZH304 Combination Gun

Lot #463 (Sale Order 463 of 1099)

serial #374109, 7x57R x 12 ga, 24" barrels with shotgun choked full, with bright excellent bores. The metal surfaces of this gun retain about 94% original blue with some thinning below the frame, some high edge and operational wear, and some scattered light scratches, freckling and handling marks. The frame is embellished with light foliate scrollwork and game scenes on either side. The skip-checkered walnut pistolgrip stock and forend remain in good overall condition with moderate finish wear and scattered scratches, dings, and abrasions throughout. The stock fits a little loose and is shaped with a rounded left-side cheekpiece and grooved black plastic buttplate that gives a 14 3/4" length of pull. This combination gun features dual triggers with a forward set trigger, extractors, an automatic safety, and sling swivels. Lockup remains tight on this gun and it appears to have seen just a little bit of use. (138413-60) {MODERN}

Triplett & Scott Repeating Carbine

Lot #464 (Sale Order 464 of 1099)

serial #4319, 50 RF, 22" barrel with a bright very good bore showing some scattered light pitting throughout. The metal surfaces of this carbine have worn to gunmetal overall, with scattered grayish brown patches, freckling, and small dings and tool marks scattered throughout. Markings remain crisp and the left side bears the "KENTUCKY" stamp. The smooth walnut forend remains in good overall condition with small dings, chips, and handling marks throughout. The straight grip walnut buttstock shows a nice older oil finish and displays all of the usual cracks typically found on these carbines with a flexing 5" crack above the magazine tube, a 2" crack at the upper tang, and a few very small hairline cracks at the lower tang, along with some scattered small dings and handling marks throughout. The heel sling swivel is no longer present, the barrel is not stamped with a serial number, and the action of this carbine will require some mechanical attention as the hammer does not hold at full cock. All of the other mechanisms of this peculiar design appear to be functional and this salty gun appears to have seen a lot of use. (138415-1) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #465 (Sale Order 465 of 1099)

The barrel and action are in-the-white and rate about excellent with a few small specks of oxidation; the bright brass receiver rates near excellent with some panels toning towards ochre; the brass crescent buttplate shows some areas of tarnish; and overall the metal surfaces show a few minor handling marks. The walnut stock rates about excellent with a couple of light scratches. The receiver is marked "U.S." on the right side. A very good condition Henry that appears to have seen little if any use. (128369-19) {MODERN}

Unmarked Austrian Under Lever Double Hammer Rifle

Lot #468 (Sale Order 468 of 1099)

serial #55, .45 cal. CF (.448" groove), 27 1/2" barrels with very good bores which are mostly bright showing sharp rifling, but with scattered light pitting, more prominent nearer the throat. The barrels are an overall dull gray-blue patina with some toning to pewter in the carry area above the forend. There are some sparsely scattered spots of light oxidation and a bit of wear to pewter ahead of the sling swivel, with some very light pitting at the muzzles. There are a few light impact marks on the nice hand-matted rib and there are light rings of engraving at the breeches. The frame, under lever and lockplates are a mostly smooth tarnished pewter patina and show light wedges of excellent quality tight scroll engraving. The checkered English walnut round knob pistolgrip buttstock rates very good plus, perhaps showing an old light cleaning many many years ago, now with reacquired light dings and handling marks from the years. It features a nice flared left-side cheekpiece with shadowline and a very fine checkering. There is an oval monogram plate along the toeline which is neatly engraved "WS" beneath a crown. The splinter style forearm is overall checkered and rates very good. The rifle is sighted with a scant silver front bead and the single shallow v-notch rear with a nice flip-up aperture sight mounted in the tang. The hammers are rebounding and the locks seem to function well mechanically and the rifle locks up tightly. The arm features double triggers, both of which are single-set and maker installed sling swivels. The 45-70 Govt fits the chamber really well, the 45-90 Win, shockingly close, certainly cartridge cases could be made from these parent cases, as the bore diameter seems a bit tight to actually be one of the two. As with any arm of unknown chambering, a competent gunsmith should determine caliber and can then give load recommendations. Really a very nicely executed, lightly engraved little German double hammergun, that likely would suffice well for deer-sized game once the appropriate caliber is determined. (38406-4) {C&R}

German Drilling Combination Gun by Simson

Lot #469 (Sale Order 469 of 1099)

serial #999380, 12 ga. x 7x65R and 22 Magnum chamber insert adapter, 24 3/4" barrels with bright excellent bores in shotgun and adapter, the rifle barrel being about excellent showing some minor pitting nearer the throat but is mostly bright with strong rifling. The barrels retain about 90% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, more prominent nearer the muzzles and just ahead of the forearm, also with a few minor handling marks and scattered spots of light oxidation. The contoured frame retains some trace mottled color case-hardening and is primarily a dull pewter patina with sparsely scattered very light oxidation staining here and there. It shows some very loose simple open scroll and features the Thuringen Wald trademark on the belly of the frame, being the same manufactory which makes Merkel's and Sauer's frames. The checkered capped pistolgrip European walnut buttstock features a typical hogs back Schweinsrucken comb and rates very good plus, the comb showing a neatly added piece to raise it a bit, it was well done. The stock features a rounded left side cheekpiece and capped pistolgrip, the checkering with some minor dings and handling marks, the length of pull to the 1" solid pad is 14" to the front trigger. The splinter style forend is in a similar state of condition with a few minor dings and handling marks and compressed checkering. The arm is sighted with a simple bead front, automatic flip-up rear when the rifle barrel is selected and there has been a weaver style base drilled and tapped to the rib for telescopic sight mounting. The arm features double triggers, the front being a single set, tang-mounted barrel selector, cocking indicators and a Greener safety. Proofed in 1982, this is a quality made, rugged East German drilling overall, awaiting its turn at the fall sporting seasons. (38413-33) {MODERN}

Unmarked German Buchsflinte Combination Gun

Lot #470 (Sale Order 470 of 1099)

serial #3145, 16 ga. x 8x57JR, 26" Krupp Laufstahl barrels with a bright very good plus shotgun bore showing remnants of some light pinprick pitting and a handful of tiny dings, not even worth the raising, choked full. The rifle barrel rates about very good with strong evident rifling but with light pitting its full-length, rather dark in spots. The barrels are primarily an overall dark gray-blue patina with remnants of light oxidation staining near overall. The frame is a lightly polished silvery pewter patina with the remnants of light pinprick pitting, showing only the lightest borderline engraving. The bottom plate, triggerplate, triggerguard and top lever have been neatly reblued quite some time ago. The checkered walnut round knob pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend rate very good showing an old nice quality refinish with the checkering patterns neatly chased, now reacquiring light dings and handling marks from honest use. The right side stock's cheek shows a very nicely repaired chip to its upper half which one actually misses at first glance, there is a similar repair on the left side, it seems to be effective and the stock mounts solidly. The arm is sighted with a simple silver bead front sight and manual flip-up rear sight and features see-through rings which currently mount a Lyman Alaskan telescopic sight with post and crosshair reticle and bright very good optics. The scope rates very good plus overall with light wear and some oxidation. Included with the arm is a Lothar Walther 22 LR chamber adapter (8x57 not rimmed) and the leather carry case for the scope. The frame flats show German and Belgian proofs and the breech faces show quite a bit of pitting. Lockup however still seems tight with the very slightest lateral play noted and the gun seems to function, however the set feature does not work on the trigger, no doubt merely an adjustment. A classic German combination side-by-side rifle-shotgun combo. (38342-5) {C&R}

A H Fox Sterlingworth Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #471 (Sale Order 471 of 1099)

serial #89226, 12 ga., 30" barrels both choked a tight modified, with bright excellent bores, the left tube showing a couple of minor dents which really do not even warrant attention. The barrels retain about 98% original blue showing some light muzzle loss and even fading with some very thin toning to pewter along the top edges at the breech and perhaps a widely scattered spot of light oxidation here or there. The frame actually remains quite nice, retaining about 92-95% original color case-hardening, somewhat streaky in spots and mottling on the belly of the frame; the forend iron retains nearly all its original blue. There is an area of oxidation on the right fence and a couple areas of light pitting atop the left fence with some minor dings around the bottom plate screw. Inexplicably someone has removed the triggerguard and its screw and have heavily gold plated it. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend rate very good to very good plus showing only minor dings and handling marks from the years, also with some added varnish. This varnish had spilled over onto the receiver in spots and had protected the color case-hardening all these years, leaving streaky colors in the places where it had worn or been scratched-through. There is the very beginning of a very minor crack at the right stock cheek and a small chip is missing atop the left stock cheek but these are easily rectifiable were one to tone the stock down some. The length of pull to the original grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14" with drops of 1 3/4" and 2 7/8". The gun locks up very tightly with the top lever still right of center. A very nice Sterlingworth with some excellent investment potential that still could be taken afield. (38363-5) {C&R}

Austrian Boxlock Double Ejector Two Barrel Set Combination Gun by A. Schwandner

Lot #472 (Sale Order 472 of 1099)

serial #5054, 16 ga. barrels and 16 ga. x .32 cal. CF. 28" shotgun barrels choked full and full with very good bores which show remnants of light oxidation and sparsely scattered light pitting their full length, they are maker-marked on their rib and numbered to the gun. The buchsflinte bores rate very good plus to perhaps excellent, the shotgun barrel also choked full. The rifle barrel is for a rimmed cartridge and at first glance would appear to be 32-40 Win however that cartridge fits a little loosely and an 8mm rimmed does not come even close. The shotgun barrels retain perhaps 92% good quality restored blue showing remnants of light pitting, a few handling marks scattered about its surface and a bit of light oxidation. The combination set of barrels retains a similar amount of restored blue with remnants of light pitting beneath and minor handling marks and speckled light oxidation here and there. The second set of barrels was clearly adapted to the gun, is not maker marked and is not serial numbered at all. The scalloped boxlock frame is a dull pewter patina but features excellent quality tight scroll in about 75% coverage. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock rates about very good, the splinter forend is similar. The buttstock features a rounded shadowline left side cheekpiece and horn-capped pistolgrip, along with an ebony diamond inlay along the toeline. The length of pull to the 1" recoil pad is 14 1/2"; the stock was not cut and one could certainly affix a grooved horn buttplate to its curved surface if one wished. There are two cracks adjacent to the triggerguard left and right, they are short, tight and will not flex. The arm features gold plated triggers cocking indicators, ejectors and automatic safety. The ejectors seem to work well on both sets of barrels, the non-matching set not fit "perfectly" some small gaps or overhangs being noted. Features a simple brass bead front on shotgun barrels, bead front sight on combination barrels with two leaf rear and a Sirius 4x42 telescopic sight with three post reticle and slightly hazy optics. Overall a rather nice assemblage which appears to be quality-made. (38413-72) {C&R}

Remington New Model 1858 Army Percussion Revolver

Lot #473 (Sale Order 473 of 1099)

serial #52079, .44 cal, 8" octagon barrel with a fair bore which shows evident rifling but with pitting its entire length. The metal surfaces are an overall deep plum brown patina, showing some remnants of an old light cleaning. The cleaning has left the barrel address no longer evident but the serial number on the underside still remains fully present. The cylinder still retains a bit of pitting and has a prominent dragline, its cylinder stop cuts now somewhat shallow. The triggerguard has toned to a dull tarnished ochre patina and is clearly from another revolver as its fit is slightly proud (it is numbered 7861). The smooth walnut grips rate about very good showing an old light cleaning, the right grip had cracked at one point and is effectively repaired, both with minor dings and handling marks, the left with remnants of a light cartouche. There is no discernible number on their interior however they fit very well, the right grip slightly proud at the butt, both showing light chips from their front leading lower edges. Serial numbers are matching on frame, barrel, and the cylinder and the arm is somewhat loose mechanically, the hammer not holding at full retraction. Still a rather good "example" piece overall of what was likely a martially-used Remington New Model 1858 Army. (38339-8) {ANTIQUE}

Maynard Second Model Civil War Carbine

Lot #474 (Sale Order 474 of 1099)

serial #17574, 50 Cal, 20" barrel with a bright excellent bore that shows some light frosting in the grooves. The barrel retains about 95% original blue with a crisp "G.W.S." inspection stamp on the left side, scattered freckling and light fading. The action shows generous traces of the original case colors with what is likely a more contemporary-added "U.S." stamped on the upper tang, a few dings on upper tang, scattered light oxidation staining and freckling. The buttplate is a dull brown patina with oxidation staining throughout and freckling. The hardwood stock rates about very good as-cleaned with a repaired wrist crack to the left of the upper tang, a more modern block-letter font marking that reads "M.M. HASKELL/CO C MASS INF", a small chip at toe, a repaired chip to the left of the upper tang, scattered light dings and handling marks. Marcus M. Haskell was a Sergeant with the 35th Massachusetts infantry who won the Medal of Honor at Antietam for rescuing a wounded comrade under heavy enemy fire. The hammer and lever appear to function well and this is a very good example of these popular Civil War carbines with an interesting later applied inscription. (208398-8) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #475 (Sale Order 475 of 1099)

The metal surfaces are mostly bright likely having been lightly cleaned with some light pitting on buttplate, sparsely scattered light oxidation and freckling. The walnut stock rates very good plus as-lightly cleaned with no visible inspector cartouches, an added oil finish, scattered handling marks and light dings. The top of the buttplate has a rack number that reads "4/93", both the breechblock and hammer have the checkered 3-pointed star design that is correct for New York State Militia rifles. A very fine example of a desirable American martial Rolling Block. (208397-45) {ANTIQUE}

The "Marlin Safety" frame has toned to a mix of plum and a mottled case-hardened patina with areas of pitting and oxidation staining. The smooth walnut straight grip buttstock has the usual dings, dents, scratches and handling marks in the later added varnish of a rifle of this age; it also wears a smooth crescent steel buttplate which has toned to the same mix of brown and plum and is numbered to the gun on its interior. The smooth walnut forend shows the same handling marks in the later added varnish as well. This rifle is sighted with a Rocky Mountain blade front sight and a semi-buckhorn adjustable rear.

Very Rare Second World War Japanese Naval Aviators Goggles

Lot #938 (Sale Order 938 of 1099)

This is a very nice set of Second World War Japanese "cat's-eye" naval aviators goggles, so very coveted by naval aviators and officers. High-quality, they feature two curved irregularly shaped clear glass lenses retained by copper-colored aluminum frames backed by chocolate-brown velveret cushions with a linen nosepiece spanning the two sides. The brown elastic strap remains in excellent overall condition and the smooth kidskin strap attachments rate excellent with no flaking or crackling. The black japanned rivets show some very light oxidation as do the chrome-plated strap tensioners at the rear of the elastic head strap. The aluminum frames are vented top and bottom and the lens retaining clips are marked with the "MAN" logo of the Manchuria Manufacturing Co. There is some very light edge wear present on the right lens frame, the screw slots showing some light wear, but nothing appears amiss. The stitching which holds the eye pads to the aluminum frames is completely intact around its periphery and indeed the goggles appear either un-issued or used very little. The goggles come in what is doubtless their original pebbled paper-covered pressed cardboard box with embossed gold naval anchor and propeller on the lid. The imprinted Kanji characters purportedly reading: "Goggles - Cat Eye Type". The exterior is excellent showing some very light scuffing around the bottom edge periphery, the interior is black and shows a couple light scuffs on the interior of the lid, the carry cord remains excellent. The Japanese Navy Air force used seven different styles of flight goggles. These appear to be standard issue clear glass with dark-colored frames and cushion. Overall an extremely nice pair of naval aviators goggles in an uncharacteristically fine state of condition, with their original carry case. (38379-11)

Russian M1926 TK Korovin Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot #988 (Sale Order 988 of 1099)

serial #95695, 25 ACP, 2 3/4" barrel with a very good bore showing some light scattered pitting and frosting.

The checkered hardwood grips remain in good condition with the checkering still present but worn overall, particularly on the right panel along with a few minor dings and handling marks. The left side of the frame is stamped with Tula Arsenal's commercial "T" inside of a triangle and the right side has a present but lightly struck "K" accuracy proof. This pistol will require some mechanical attention as a number of the springs are broken or weakened. The striker spring is broken and about 1/3 of its length, so will need mechanical attention; the recoil spring has weakened to the point where the safety is loose. The slide also has a ding where the takedown button is supposed to hold the slide back for disassembly, but is no longer doing so. The Korovin pistol represents the first domestically-designed semi-auto pistol by the Soviet Union and is rarely encountered in the United States. One original magazine in very good condition is included. Overall, this pistol remains a very good example and should be fully functional once a few of its springs are replaced.
