Albright was from Stroudsburg Pennsylvania and was active in St. Louis Missouri from about the mid-1840s until just after the Civil War. Another interesting halfstock plains rifle when Missouri was the jumping off point for the American West. (37645-3) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver with Columbus Firearms Manufacturing-Marked Barrel

Lot #1059 (Sale Order 60 of 837)

serial #62552, .36 cal, 7 1/2" barrel within oxidized, now smooth, bore. The metal surfaces on this interesting revolver have certainly seen their share of use and the elements. The iron parts all exhibit varying degrees of oxidation, light, moderate, and in some cases heavy, pitting. The last 4" of the barrel is smoother in character and shows a number of small dings along its right edge; its bottom lug has worn through to the line-up pin holes. The frame, triggerguard, butt and indeed even the wedge are all matching numbered one-to-another. Close inspection of the top flat of the barrel and the radius of the cylinder both show a roll marking which appears to be from the period of use "Columbus Fire Arms Manuf Co/Columbus GA" on the barrel flat, the marking is mostly obscured by pitting but much of it can be read and is true to known examples. The cylinder as well shows remnants of a Columbus Firearms Manuf Co marking, again much of it cannot be discerned due to oxidation and pitting. The cylinder is currently rusted to the arbor and the loading lever will not move and there appears to be no hand or hand spring in place; a number of screws show some slot damage. The grip frame is a dull tarnished goldenrod patina and is slightly mis-shapen in spots. The one piece walnut grip rates about good showing some shrinkage, raised grain from exposure to the elements and a moderate chip missing from its right side. Looking at known examples of this revolver we initially see that the right side loading cut at the barrel lug is smaller than normally seen and the barrel lug contour seems sharper and not as graceful as some noted examples. Overall an interesting Colt revolver, clearly with replaced barrel and cylinder during the period of use, further research or authentication may prove or disprove the component parts on this arm as a genuine Columbus firearms articles.

This gun falls within the accepted serial number range for World War One 1897 trench guns, it has the correct six-row heatshield, the barrel is marked "CYL", the rear sling swivel is correct but the work does not appear factory. This appears to be a civilian assembled trench gun, as there are no U.S. ordnance markings, the buttplate is the incorrect smooth type and the barrel does not appear to protrude past the muzzle as far as those known original examples. A good example piece for the budding military collector. (208596-5) {MODERN}

It remains in very good plus condition showing some light smoothing, discoloration, some flakes of white paint and small dings. There are two holes at the top of the frame and upper tang and it is sighted with the correct Marlin carbine rear sight and silver blade front sight. This carbine is a very interesting example and is almost identical to the later 1894 half magazine baby carbines marketed by Marlin, although it is of course marked as an 1893 and is chambered for the large 38-55 cartridge. The carbine is equipped with a saddle ring and the magazine is the "half" magazine as seen on the aforementioned baby carbine and probably holds at most three cartridges. Although well-used, this carbine represents a very interesting example for the collector and is worthy of further research. (138445-18) {C&R}

The rifle also features a Griffin & Howe quick detach side mount with 7/8" rings. The scope mount is in very good plus condition showing some high edge wear and a few small dings. Overall a very good 1946-made Model 70 that could use a new buttplate and would probably make for a fine shooting rifle once equipped with your choice of optics. (138620-89) {C&R}

Overall a very attractive and likely very-usable arm once given a little professional attention. (38638-37) {MODERN}

The lock shows some brighter gunmetal areas and is still clearly marked "NIPPES / & CO / PHILA" and the breech is marked with "V" and "(Eagle Head) / CT" proofs. The gun has been converted to percussion in a very simple but functional manner by adding a large bolster and keeping the original cock which now holds a piece of iron with cupped striker, very often seen on Confederate arms, pressed into service for the conflict. The walnut stock is in good overall condition mostly notably showing the last 6" of the wood broken off and an older glue repair present. The repair is beginning to separate and the forward band spring is missing, no doubt this could be further repaired without too much trouble. The stock shows some further small chips, cracks and handling marks scattered throughout along with a number of carved initials "HRW" on the right butt, "EW" on the left and what appears to be a "D" with three grooves at the wrist. The gun includes a ramrod and the lock still functions very well at full and half cock. Overall a very interesting well-used example with a lot of character. (138620-2) {ANTIQUE}

A salty pistol overall that would probably still make for a good shooter or entry-level collector's piece. (138657-46S20524) {C&R}

The left side of the socket is marked "ENGLAND", there are British export proofs on the barrel and one original Savage-made magazine is included.

serial #270990, 300 Savage, 24" tapered barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing some very light frosting. This 1925-made rifle seems to defy the usual Savage nomenclature and was probably sent back to the factory at some point to receive a number of upgrades and probably refinishing as well. The metal surfaces retain about 60% older quality blue thinning throughout with high edge wear, bottom of the frame mostly worn to gunmetal, with some light oxidation staining, scattered freckling and handling marks. The bolt is mostly bright and the lever retains some strong hints of case-hardened color mostly worn to silver.

The checkered pistolgrip buttstock and smooth schnabel forend remain in very good condition as lightly cleaned with mostly worn finish throughout, a small repaired chip forward of the takedown button, a tiny chip at the toe, rather worn side panels and some further light handling marks. As noted earlier this gun was probably sent back to the factory for some upgrades as the frame is marked "SAVAGE / 1899 MODEL" but has a later style buttstock and 24" takedown barrel chambered for 300 Savage. The forend, buttstock and buttplate are all stamp-numbered to the frame. The rifle features a tang-mounted Lyman peep sight, Lyman #16 folding sight and Marble's Sheard gold bead front. Overall a very interesting example that would probably be a fine shooter. (138567-4) {C&R}

The hold open is un-numbered but the remaining serialized parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin. Included with this pistol is a blue-bodied aluminum base magazine numbered 5803k with "(Eagle) / 83" stamp. A nice example that has no doubt been through some arsenal refurbishment.

Smith & Wesson First Model Schofield Revolver

Lot #1489 (Sale Order 490 of 837)

Colt Model 1851 Navy Percussion Revolver

Lot #1490 (Sale Order 491 of 837)

serial #6694, .36 cal., 7 1/2" octagon barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore. The metal surfaces of this frontier-modified 1851 made revolver have toned to brown with oxidation blemishes, pitting and assorted handling marks. The brass grip frame has been lightly cleaned with tarnished areas and handling marks. The smooth one-piece un-numbered walnut grip rates about very good as lightly cleaned and modified with a few light dents and handling marks. The wedge is missing but the gun still functions. All appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun except the backstrap frame which has no visible number. It appears the backstrap was replaced with one from a Model 1849 Pocket or similar model and modified slightly to fit the frame and by altering frontstrap. The frontstrap was cut and soldered to fit the replacement backstrap and the grip was modified to fit the new configuration. The backstrap has two checks forming just below the knuckle that extend from the edge to the hammer cut. One can only imagine this was done to accommodate someone with smaller hands. All this gun need's is a wedge and it will make a good example of frontier gunsmithing. (88315-238LTS6-27) {ANTIQUE} [Lewis T. Steadman Collection]

Interesting Belgian Single Shot Percussion Parlor Pistol with Original Box

Lot #1491 (Sale Order 492 of 837)

serial #34, .36 cal., 7 1/2" octagon smooth bore barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore. The metal surfaces are an overall tarnished pewter patina with a speckling of light brown oxidation and a few pits. The barrel features a simple bead front sight and flat-top "V" notch rear. The frame shows some nice quality, very light lose rococo scroll engraving. The hammer spur is missing and there is a removable chamber with a nipple for percussion ignition. There is an upper tab on the hammer that acts as a stop by striking the face of the barrel when the tab on the removable percussion chamber is in the locked position or as a safety when the extension rest on the tab in the upright unlocked position. The ribbed European walnut grip rates very good showing old cleaning but the flutes remain crisp and the light foliate carving at the cheeks have softened; the grip has dried slightly with the years and there is now a small gap at the frame. There is a small repaired check by the tang. The gripcap shows the same light rococo scroll as is seen on the underside of the frame. The mechanism works well with a very robust hammer spring. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this arm is that it comes with its original box. The pressboard box is paper-covered and form fitting. It features an image of the gun on its lid with a link-chain decoration around the lower periphery of the box. On the illustration there is an "EL" on the left foliate panel, perhaps signifying this arm was made by Emile LePage although there is an addition maker's mark of the left side of the barrel which not discernible. The bottom "butt" section of the box is further marked "AMBOISE". Having the hammer spur made and silver soldered to the rear of the hammer itself would be a very easy feat for nearly any 'smith. Included is a later steel wiping rode with a brass tip made from a Velo-dog cartridge. A great little parlor pistol with a fantastic period box. (8433-132) {ANTIQUE} [Paul Weisberg Collection]

The forend screw is a replacement and poorly fitted, its threads appear to be a different pitch than the barrel dovetail and it will not screw all the way in. The buttstock has a 2 1/2" thin crack at the lower tang, three about 1 1/4" hairline cracks at the upper tang, a repaired 1 3/4" chip at the left side above lower tang and some further small repairs, dings, tiny chips and handling marks.

The original sights have been replaced with a Lyman ivory bead front sight and Marble's tang-mounted flip up peep sight, there are also two extra holes drilled into the left barrel flat presumably for mounting sights. With a little TLC this rifle could probably be a great performer. (138514-58) {ANTIQUE}

These flare guns are quite scarce and make a great addition to any Japanese firearms or militaria collection. (138640-62) [William "Wild Bill" Ziegler Collection] {NON-GUN}

Included with the arm is a set of correspondence (letters) from Mr. Howard to Admiral Shelley, asking him if he would sell his collection and replies from the Admiral to the affirmative. While not mentioned specifically by serial number, a handwritten draft from Mr. Howard mentions: "2 Lugers, a .32 Mauser pocket auto, a 9mm Browning auto, a .32 P37 pocket auto and a P38 auto". Finally there is a collection inventory card with this pistol that notes it was purchased from the collection of Admiral Shelley who evidently acquired a number of captured and surrendered weapons during his service. One return letter from Admiral Shelley states: "...these were taken from dead Germans by me personally and other members of my intelligence team". Overall an honest example of a 1914 pistol that saw military service. (138569-36) {C&R} [Calhoun L.H. Howard Collection]

The cylinder and loading gate are matching by assembly number and there appears to be some remnants of a number on the barrel that is no longer legible. The cylinder is marked with typical Belgian proofs and a "(Star) / K" inspector mark on the cylinder and barrel, the grip frame is further marked "AD DG AS". This revolver has a number of interesting features beyond the aforementioned rifled chambers including a ring trigger, rebounding hammer and lanyard ring that unscrews from the frame to act as the ejector rod. The mechanism still functions well in single and double action with good timing and lockup a little loose. A very interesting revolver for the collector of antique arms curiosa.

The trigger is also not matching, numbered "66" but the remaining serialized parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin. Some mechanical attention will be required as whatever work was previously done on the sideplate has affected the tolerances of the mechanism to the point where the trigger does not drop the firing pin. Included is one un-numbered bright-bodied wood base magazine in fair overall condition showing a few small dings and moderate flaking to brown-gray on the body. This pistol would probably be a good shooter once its mechanical issues are addressed. (138060-95) {C&R}

16 ga. x 8mm rimmed, 27 1/2" barrels, the shotgun choked a light full, with an about very good bore which shows a few scattered light pits and with a very interesting straight, as well as very lightly spiral cut, rifling with right-hand twist, the rifle barrel rating about very good showing frosting or light pitting its full-length. The barrels are an overall dark blue-gray, faded original blue patina, with fading to pewter and scattered light oxidation or light pinprick pitting, primarily in the carry area. The breeches show some nice wedges of engraving near the side clips, there being pitting on the left side. The makers name is inlaid in gold on the rib "Joh Sigott in Ferlach". The frame and lockplates are a deep tarnished pewter-gray patina showing loose open flowing scroll with game scene vignettes on the lockplates. Left we see a running boar, right is a bellowing stag and does. The rebounding locks are crisp with robust hammer springs and the front trigger is a single set. The checkered capped walnut pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend rate about very good and good, with the overall dings and handling marks that come from the years, the forearm worn nearly smooth. The arm is sighted with a silver blade front and two leaf rear, one folding one standing, and a nice lollipop flip-up aperture sight in the long tang. Additionally the rib has been fitted with a set of quick detach bases and scope rings which support a Kahles Heliavier telescopic sight with heavy European crosshair reticle and cloudy optics. The scope rates good to about very good and is an overall plum brown patina. The arm seems to lock up well and is on-face. An interesting Austrian combo gun, very fancy in its day, that may still have some life left after a gunsmith determines the chambering and checks the headspace. (38413-10) {C&R}

The braided wire wrap is fully intact and there is a nice Naval Officers sword knot attached as well, rating very fine, its lower sewn seam has come undone, the knot now "open", it could likely be re-stitched in short order.

The throat, mid-hanger and tip chape are all present, all a dull ochre patina as well. Doctor Bradford H Peirce of Cambridge was an important Boston-area Doctor and was prominent during the influenza outbreak of 1918-19 in maintaining and restoring health in that area. He was also a Lieutenant in the Medical Corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, while "Peirce" is the correct spelling, he may be found in many journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, listed incorrectly as "Pierce", there is however only one Doctor Bradford H Peirce from Cambridge. He would later become the first Director of the Plymouth County Hospital. "A well regarded Harvard trained physician. Dr. Pierce was loved by patients and workers alike, and helped keep the sanitarium a well respected Tuberculosis hospital throughout his tenure. Dr. Pierce resided in the superintendents mansion located along High Street at the edge of the sanitarium property. The Town of Hanson later named a street that borders the sanitarium property after him, Pierce Ave, to show their gratitude to the beloved physician." A very nice sword overall, sadly suffering from a bit of poor storage, once belonging to a dedicated physician from the greater Boston area.An image of the good Doctor is included in his Naval uniform, seated with colleagues.
