Civil War Sharps New Model 1859 .52 Cal Carbine

Lot #96 (Sale Order 108 of 517)

Offered for sale is a Very Early Civil War Sharps New Model 1859 .52 Caliber Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine. One of the most popular and successful of the cavalry carbines was the Sharps breech loader. Capable of firing a grooved bullet in a combustible black powder loaded paper cartridge or single loaded with lead slug with loose powder behind and a percussion cap, the Sharps gained a rapid reputation as a reliable, accurate, powerful and fast firing weapon. Troops armed with single shot muzzle loading muskets were no match for the new breech loaders designed by Christian Sharps. After the Civil War many of these battle proven weapons went to the western frontier. Most of the New Model Sharps rifles and carbines were later converted to fire the standard .50-70 metallic cartridge and reissued for Indian War use. Hence, those in original and unaltered percussion ignition from the Civil War are very scarce and desirable arms on the antique collector market today. This example shows normal Civil War usage, yet retains a readable “NEW MODEL 1859” barrel stamp just ahead of the receiver. It also retains the correct marking “C. SHARPS PATENT” over “SEPT. 12TH 1848” on the left side of the receiver. Mostly gray/brown patina metal with correct “Lawrence Patented February 15, 1859” marked ladder rear sight (often missing), correct front sight, original forend and butt stock that shows fine wood to metal fit and surprisingly no repairs and no chips or cracks around the lock plate and tangs, lever locking latch along with sling ring and bar intact, tight action and fine rifled bore. One of the most historically significant of the great Civil War carbines. Fine example of a very early low serial numbered Sharps that saw service through the Civil War from beginning to end. This is a antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 43187.

Smith & Wesson M13 Air Force .38 Spl Revolver RARE

Lot #98 (Sale Order 110 of 517)

Offered for sale is a RARE Smith & Wesson U.S. Air Force M13 .38 Special Revolver. This extremely rare U.S. Air Force issued handgun was made to be extra lightweight and was factory fitted with an aluminum cylinder. It was intended for mid-range, moderate pressure .38 Special ammo only and was eventually deemed unsafe. Therefore, after being issued, the entire contract was recalled by the government and destroyed by a combination of “torching” or melting and crushing before final discarding. A very few examples escaped this destruction and bring astronomical prices on the collector market today. A few crushed/torched examples also survived- probably taken as souvenirs by those ordered to oversee the elimination of these weapons. Of those that were salvaged, many or most were flattened almost beyond recognition and are usually missing cylinders or other major parts. This fine example of a semi-torched Aircrewman has all matching serial numbers (#C298512) on the frame, cylinder, barrel and inside the original diamond checkered grips. The back strap correctly marked “PROPERTY OF U.S. AIR FORCE.”The top strap on the left side also correctly marked “REVOLVER, LIGHTWEIGHT, M-13.” The frame retains the S&W logo as well as the usual patent dates and the barrel retains the Smith & Wesson marking. The bottom of the grips stamped “49” and there is a matching “49” in light paint on the right grip panel- this was probably an issue or rack number. This is a 4-screw model with correct flat latch that was made in 1954 and aside from the single line of torching, retains almost all of the original deep blue finish. The right side of the barrel and forward part of the frame “torched” as is one side of the cylinder over one chamber. Amazingly, this revolver still functions perfectly. It is very possible it was torched just enough to get past inspection and was then “rescued” from final disposal. An extremely important martial arm that is almost always missing from even the most complete collections, this is a chance to own an example that was issued and used by our fighter pilots in the Cold War years of the 1950s and finally recalled and destroyed by our government.

Lot #99 (Sale Order 111 of 517)

You are bidding on a Desirable Winchester Model 1894 .38-55 Octagon Rifle.

The sliding dust cover on the receiver top is intact (these usually missing) and the loading gate retains fine deep original blue.

Scarce Winchester Model 1890 .22 WRF Rifle 1894

Lot #105 (Sale Order 117 of 517)

This lot features a Scarce Winchester Model 1890 .22 WRF Rifle. In the late 1880s, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company asked John Browning to design a replacement for the Model 1873 rifle, since the rim fire version of the Model 1873 had never achieved any great popularity. On June 26, 1888, a patent for the new design was issued to John and Matthew Browning. Under this patent, Winchester created the second repeating slide action .22 rifle ever successfully developed and manufactured, being narrowly edged out by the Colt Lightning small frame carbine. The Model 1890 proved to be the most successful repeating rim fire rifle for general all around shooting ever made by Winchester. Approximately 849,000 Model 1890 rifles were produced between 1890 and 1932, after which the Model 1890 was replaced by the Winchester Model 62 rifle. This rifle has been professionally and expensively restored, it now displays a beautiful finished appearance. The barrel, magazine tube and receiver show a rich Winchester blue finish that was expertly and painstakingly applied leaving all the barrel markings and early style upper tang markings clear and sharp. As a correct restoration, the hammer and trigger were not blue finished, but left in their correct original case hardened state- this is one difference between a re-blued firearm and a correctly restored one. Excellent forearm has not been refinished or sanded and the butt stock also has been left in its original state. The action works perfectly and the metal on this rifle now appears as it did when it left the Winchester factory 124 years ago. Antique (pre-1899) Winchester Model 1890s are very scarce and those that have survived to the present are often in poor states of condition due to constant use with inexpensive rim fire ammunition. The .22 WRF is one of the more difficult to find caliber and very popular with collectors today. This rifle was manufactured in 1894. Antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 30661.

Engraved Belgium F&C .44 Bulldog Nickel Revolver

Lot #108 (Sale Order 120 of 517)

You are bidding on a Factory Engraved Belgium F&C .44 Bulldog Nickel & Ivory Revolver. Many, if not most, Bulldog revolvers were made in smaller calibers, making the big .44 caliber the most scarce and desirable. This beautiful revolver retains nearly all the nickel finish and displays original engraving on the barrel, cylinder, frame and back strap. It is a double action revolver in which a single pull of the trigger cocks the hammer and fires the cartridge. It can also be shot single action by pulling the hammer back manually before pulling the trigger. The top strap over the cylinder is marked “NEW-DESIGN” and “BULL-DOG.” There is a proof mark on the left side front of the frame consisting of crossed muzzle loading pistols with “F & C.” Fully functioning in both single and double action, this is a much better example than normally encountered on the collector market. The antique walrus ivory grips are sound and show a lovely mellow age patina. The loading gate also retains all the nickel finish and is fully operational, snapping into place after being opened. Recent books devoted to the Bulldog revolvers shed, until recently, light on the fact that they were some of the most common and popular firearms in the nineteenth century Frontier West as well as with inhabitants of the “more civilized East.” It is interesting to note that on July 2, 1881, President James Garfield was shot twice while traveling through a Washington Railroad Depot. His assassin, Charles Guiteau, used a Bulldog revolver very much like this one. Antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 41.

German Deutsche Werke Ortgies 25 ACP Pocket Pistol

Lot #110 (Sale Order 122 of 517)

Offered for sale in this lot is an exceptional example of a Deutsche Werke semi-automatic, hammerless, pocket pistol. The pistol is chambered in 6.35mm (.25 ACP). The pistol follows the design of the original German Ortgies patent, and was crafted by Deutsche Werke between 1921-1924. During this time this pistol was of advanced design and high quality construction with relatively few parts, well sealed against dirt. Metal components were forged or machined, and assembly in general made no use of screws, even securing the wooden grips with metal clips. The hammerless action depended on a spring-loaded striker to fire the cartridge. As in early Colt and Browning pocket pistols, the Ortgies striker also operated as an ejector as the slide traveled backwards after discharge. Unusual design features included the safety and the magazine. The safety was a lever inset into the back of the grip and, with the gun cocked, forced backward out of the grip into the "safe" position by spring tension from the firing pin upon depression of a button under the slide. Thus, engaging the safety simultaneously reduced tension on the firing pin spring. To disengage the safety, a shooter simply would squeeze the grip, pressing the lever forward and locking it flush with the back of the frame. This excellent example retains most of the original blue finish and is clearly marked “Deutsche Werke” and “Werk Erfurt” on the left side of the slide and “Ortgies Patent” on the right side of the slide. The original magazine and slide are stamped with the correct script “D” monogram as are the brass medallions in the wood grips. “Germany” is stamped above the serial number. Lastly, the barrel is stamped "CAL. 6.35 m/m". This pistol is tight mechanically, fully functional and has an excellent bright bore. The Ortgies pistols were favorite personal weapons with many World War II German officers. It is interesting to note that outlaw John Dillinger carried an Ortgies, and several hundred Ortgies pistols saw service with Finnish prison authorities through the World War II period. The pistol includes one magazine. This pistol qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm. The pistol requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 64498.

Winchester Model 1887 12 Ga Lever Action Shotgun

Lot #130a (Sale Order 148 of 517)

Offered for your bidding pleasure is a Winchester Model 1887 12 Gauge Lever Action Shotgun. The shotgun features a 32" barrel, walnut stocks, lever action design, under barrel magazine, and blue'd finish. The Winchester Model 1887 and Winchester Model 1901 are lever-action shotguns originally designed by famed American gun designer John Browning and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Model 1887 was one of the first successful repeating shotguns. Its lever-action design was chosen at the behest of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, best known at the time as manufacturers of lever-action rifles such as the Winchester Model 1873. Designer John Browning suggested that a pump-action would be much more appropriate for a repeating shotgun, but Winchester management's position was that, at the time, the company was known as a "lever-action firearm company", and felt that their new shotgun must also be a lever-action for reasons of brand recognition. Browning responded by designing a breech-loading, rolling block lever-action. To Winchester's credit, however, they later introduced a Browning designed pump-action shotgun known as the Model 1893 (an early production version of the model 1897), after the introduction of smokeless powder. The 1887 was cherished for its reliability and fire power. Many were used by freight carriers like Wells Fargo, train guards, prison guards and lawmen of the west. Sportsmen who were used to handling lever action rifles also found favor with the 1887 lever action shotgun. This shotgun shows good condition, with wear and use indicative of age. Looks to have a small repair on the top of the receiver. The mechanics are tight and smooth. The bore is shiny with some pitting. The shotgun was manufactured in 1893. Antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 50711

Each spur shows a copper gals leg mounted to the outsides of each shank, and two spades on the outsides of each heel-band. Robert John McChesney is aptly named "The Grandfather of the Texas Spur Style", being the first smith to sell handmade spurs in Texas. McChesney was also the pioneer of the "Goose-Neck" shank. J.R. McChesney is also credited with being the creator and originator of the “Gal Leg” design. The spurs originate from around the turn of the century and show good condition. Each spur - Without the straps measures 4 1/8" wide, and 5 3/4" long. Examples of the No. 8 Gal Leg McChesney have sold such as at Burley Auction Group’s 2/9/2008 sale for $3,300, the 2/7/2009 High Noon Western Americana sale for $3,000, Brian Lebel’s Old West Show & Auction 6/22/2006 sale for $7,800 and Vogt Galleries Texas 3/1/2015 sale for $2,200. J.R. McChesney is one of the most well know bit and spur makers ever to swing a hammer. McChesney was born in Plymouth, Indiana in 1868 and even attended Notre Dame for two years. McChesney’s family moved westward into Arkansas and then into Indian Territory in what is not Oklahoma. J.R. then opened a blacksmith shop. He stayed busy eventually got into making bits and spurs custom for local cowboys. It is said that McChesney was the first to make one-piece spurs from metal taken off farm equipment and axles. The one-piece spur quickly became the predominant style in Texas as the spurs were strong and durable without a joint that had the potential to fail between the heel band and shank. Whether or not McChesney actually invented the one-piece spur isn’t really important, but his legend and popularity grew as a bit and spur maker. He moved to Gainesville, Texas around 1890 due to a drought that killed off much of his business in Indian Territory. In Gainesville, J.R. McChesney built up another blacksmith business and did general blacksmith work in addition to the bit and spur making. At some point during this period G.A. Bischoff either worked for or with McChesney, the amount of time and details of their collaboration are unclear. After a period of time in Gainesville, McChesney moved again to Pauls Valley, Oklahoma in 1909 after the town offered to help him move his business there in addition to providing land for his new factory. At his Pauls Valley shop McChesney eventually employed as many as 50 people at the McChesney Bit and Spur Company. Many other famous makers would spend time working for McChesney at this location including: Clyde Parker, P.M. Kelly, and Tom Johnson among others. McChesney was supplying bits and spurs for his own catalog as well as producing items for C.P. Shipley at this time. McChesney continued to run the business until his death in 1928 at the age of 60. McChesney is probably most famous for his gal-leg design which some people claim he invented.

Lot #349 (Sale Order 394 of 517)

Linderman was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the child of James Bird Linderman and Mary Ann Brannan Linderman. He attended schools in Ohio and Illinois, including Oberlin College, before moving to Montana Territory in 1885 at the age of sixteen. Frank Linderman went to the shores of Flathead Lake, there he learned Indian ways and lived as they lived. To know them better he mastered the sign language, a feat which gained him the name Sign-talker, or, sometimes Great Sign-talker. From 1893 to 1897, he worked in Butte, Montana, then moved to Brandon, Montana. Around 1900, he moved to Sheridan, Montana, where he worked several jobs, as an assayer, furniture salesman, and at a newspaper. He also lived in Sheridan, Demersville (now Kalispell), Helena, and Butte. This book was perhaps the first record of the women’s side of Indian life, and it has become a classic work in its field. Pretty-shield told her story to Frank Linderman through an interpreter and using the sign language. A medicine woman of the Crows, she was one of the few who remembered what it was like before the white man came and the buffalo went away. She tells about the simple games and dolls of an Indian childhood and the duties of the girls and women—setting up the lodges, dressing the skins, picking berries, digging roots, cooking. From her account we learn about courtship, marriage, childbirth and the care of babies, about medicine-dreams, the care of the sick, and the dangers and joys of womanhood among men whose lives were spent in hunting and fighting. The book shows good condition, with few signs of wear. The book measures 8 1/8" tall, 6" wide, and 1 1/4" thick.
