Aki’cita (or Akicita) has been often translated as “soldier” or “warrior” but its more accurate implied meaning is more appropriately as “guard” or “police”. These Aki’cita Societies would act as “guards” and watch over the tribe when the tribe moved from one place to another and keep watch for enemy activity when a camp was chosen. Aki’cita also acted as “civil police” to preserve order in the camp and had the right to punish offenders of tribal codes or conduct. Warriors chosen to serve as Aki’cita also had the responsibility to maintain strict control during a Buffalo hunt. The Iho’ka (Ihoka) Badger Society were considered amongst the most extreme warriors of the Aki’cita. They were said to have been started by a man who dreamed of a badger. They often took great risks against seemingly insurmountable odds, emulating the great tenacity found in the behavior of a badger, who would not think twice about going nose to nose with a bear ten times its own size and winning the fight. The headdress shows tanned hide construction, and showcases multiple layers of dense buffalo fur. The top of the headdress utilizes two buffalo horns, and two polished trade mirrors.

Mason Model 1861 .58 Cal Civil War Rifled Musket

Lot #84 (Sale Order 86 of 499)

For sale in this lot is a classic Civil War Issue 1861 .58 caliber percussion rifled musket. The Model 1861 was the standard issue muzzle loading rifle throughout the Civil War. Tens of thousands of captured battlefield 1861s were also used by the Confederacy. Period photographs of soldiers on both sides of the war are often seen holding this model rifle. Famed Civil War photographer Matthew Brady made numerous images of the aftermath of battles in which this exact model of rifle is often depicted strewn across corpse-littered battlefields. Since Springfield Armory could not manufacture 1861 muskets in the quantities required for the war effort, the U.S. Government contracted with the best Gunmakers in the Northeast to manufacture these rifles. The company of William Mason of Taunton, Massachusetts received and filled a contract for 30,000 Model 1861s. This example is one of this contract which was delivered in 1863. All Model 1861 rifled muskets were .58 caliber and designed to fire the effective hollow base Minie Bullet. All had 40” barrels, three barrel bands and a clean-out screw in the bolster. All also had iron mountings, were finished bright (not blued), fitted with walnut stocks and steel ram rods. This fine example shows clear lock plate markings “WM. MASON” over “TAUNTON” and the rear of the lock plate is dated 1863. The top breech end of the barrel is also dated 1863 and contains the correct standard U.S. proof marks consisting of a “V P” over eagle head. There is also a “U.S.” stamp on the top of the butt plate. It retains the correct and original three folding leaf rear sight with the two folded leaves marked “3” and “5” for yardage in hundreds. The left side of the stock opposite the lock retains the correct and desirable two sharp inspector cartouches. Having these on the stock shows that this was the original, issued stock and not a replacement which would not have inspector cartouche stampings. This example is exceptional in that unlike most Model 1861s found on the collector market today, it has never been polished or cleaned bright, which would diminish the collector value. All metal parts show a lovely deep aged patina and even retain a good deal of old dried storage grease that has never been cleaned off! It also retains the correct original sling swivels, has a tight and excellent mechanical action and even has a bright excellent rifled bore! The 1861 Rifled Musket saw service throughout the entire Civil War and was in every major battle and minor skirmish. After the war, soldiers often retained their rifles with many traveling West as ex-soldier pioneers. One of the most historical of U.S. Military rifles, the 1861 Percussion Rifled Musket in this exceptional, unaltered condition is a much valued and sought after item on the collector market today. The rifle qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: NSN.

RARE Winchester Model 1894 Special Order Carbine

Lot #85 (Sale Order 87 of 499)

For sale in this lot is an extremely Rare Winchester 1894 Deluxe Pistol Grip and Checkered Saddle Ring Carbine in .30 WCF (.30-30) caliber, serial number 788897, made in 1916. Very few Winchester carbines were special ordered from the factory with non-standard features. On those few carbines that were special ordered, the more common special features would be a half magazine or made without provision for the saddle ring. From a collecting standpoint, one of the most desirable and least often special features on a carbine would be a deluxe model with pistol grip stock. Not only does this example have a pistol grip, but it also has checkering on both forend and pistol grip as well as a checkered steel shotgun butt plate instead of the curved standard carbine butt plate. This is the classic, early 1894 Carbine that was popular with the Klondike gold seekers, Texas Rangers, cowboys, ranchers, big game hunters and Mexican Revolutionaries. One of the best of the Jonathan Browning designs, this model is still respected and used today. This fine 102 year old example still retains a fine bore and tight action. There is also good blue on the loading gate, barrel and magazine tube. The butt stock and forearm show fairly heavy handling and hunting wear with the checkering on the forearm worn but all visible. There is an old repair to a crack in the wrist area and the pistol grip cap appears to be a replacement. The barrel shows correct clear Winchester address markings and patent dates and still retains a fine bore with good rifling throughout. The upper tang also has correct “MODEL 1894” over “Winchester” etc. markings. The rear sight is a desirable King patent heavy full buckhorn sight that was popular in the West. The receiver is mostly an aged gray with fine screws. An iconic carbine with very unusual and rarely encountered features from the turbulent days of the early part of the 20th century. This carbine recently came out of Montana. The rifle qualifies as a Curio & Relic Long Gun, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 788897.

Winchester Model 1887 Lever Action 12GA Shotgun

Lot #86 (Sale Order 88 of 499)

Featured for bidding in this lot is a very early production Winchester 1887 Lever Action 12 Gauge Shotgun, serial number 16296, made the second year of production in 1888! This model was designed by John Browning and brought Winchester into the forefront of the repeating shotgun business. 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 is an early example with fine metal that has seen no cleaning, steel wooling or abuse of any kind. The metal surfaces are smooth and retain a deeply aged patina. The Winchester markings on the lower tang are sharp and include: “MANUFACTURE BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A., PAT. FEB. 16 & JULY 20, 1886.” The “WRA Co” (Winchester Repeating Arms Company) entwined logo on the left side of the receiver is also particularly sharp and clear. The receiver screws are also in fine condition. It retains the original checkered steel shotgun butt plate (these often changed or replaced with rubber recoil pads) and the wood is solid and original. Correct and original standard 30” barrel retains the original brass bead front sight, mechanically crisp and tight, a very difficult historical model to locate in any condition and this one is far above most that have survived to the present. The shotgun qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 16296.

Whitney-Kennedy .44-40 Lever Action Sporting Rifle

Lot #86a (Sale Order 89 of 499)

Provided in this lot is a Whitney-Kennedy Lever Action .44-40 24” octagon barrel sporting rifle. Made by the famed Whitney Arms Company in Connecticut, the Whitney-Kennedy repeating rifle was one of the finest lever action rifles of the early cartridge period and was a direct competitor of Winchester and Marlin. The company goes all the way back to when famed inventor Eli Whitney began making the Model 1798 flintlock Musket on contract for the government of the United States. Norm Flayderman writes in his classic work Antique American Firearms, “Eli Whitney and the company that bore his name are as familiar to collectors as Colt, Smith & Wesson and Winchester. There is no disputing Whitney’s stature among American arms manufacturers and inventors. No other American gun maker produced such a broad range of arms over as many historic and important eras as did Whitney. The name appeared on many models and styles from the earliest American flintlocks to lever action repeating rifles and included a host of handguns from percussion to breech-loading metallic cartridge types…” The Whitney-Kennedy lever action repeating rifle was made from 1879-1886 and was considered one of the strongest and smoothest rifles of its type. Only approx. 15,000 of all types were manufactured before production ceased. The earliest rifles had the “S-Lever” which was changed to the more familiar “loop” style seen on most lever action rifles to this day. Whitney-Kennedy rifles were made in small frame size (for the Winchester 1873 cartridges .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40) and large frame size (for the Winchester 1876 cartridges .40-60 to .50-90). Both frame sizes were made in the sporting rifle style, carbine and military musket. Considering frame sizes and different styles of arms, any kind of Whitney-Kennedy lever action firearm was a very limited production rifle. Since all of the production of this rifle was made during the Frontier Period, most of these robust arms saw hard service in the Western United States. The Whitney-Kennedy was considered such a superior weapon that in 1888 Winchester Repeating Arms bought out the entire company and ceased production of all Whitney arms! Today, surviving specimens are few and those encountered on the collector market usually show very hard use and often abuse. This example with serial number C359 was made in 1882 and has the desirable early “S Lever.” This exact rifle identified by serial number is listed in the book The Burgess Long Range Repeating Rifle Model 1878 Including Serial Numbers and Configurations of Burgess, Kennedy Rifles (etc.). It is listed as a Whitney-Kennedy rifle being made in 1882 as a .44-40 with octagon barrel (a copy of this material is included with the rifle). While this Whitney-Kennedy rifle has seen frontier service, it remains fully functioning and complete. The barrel top is correctly and clearly stamped “WHITNEYVILLE ARMORY. CT. U.S.A. KENNEDY.” “44 CAL” is also stamped on the barrel top ahead of the receiver. The upper tang is stamped with correct various patent dates ending with an August 12, 1879 stamping. Overall metal shows a deep, uncleaned patina, and the walnut stock and forend while showing typical of hard frontier use and handling are basically sound. The crescent butt plate has the correct sliding brass door for storing cleaning rods This is an exceedingly limited production rifle and a rare offering on the collector market today. The rifle qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: C359.

Bob Wolf-Soon to be Released, Tribute to Lee Wulff

Lot #98 (Sale Order 104 of 499)

In this lot, you have the opportunity to bid on #2 of 15 "Garden Size" bronze of renowned angler - Lee Wulff. The bronze is titled "Soon to be Released", and was expertly crafted in small batches by Bob Wolf. Lee Wulff's contributions to the world of angling are among the greatest of any single individual. Wulff popularized fishing all of his life and reached millions through his books and magazine articles, films, and productions for the television series, The American Sportsman. In filming one episode, he met champion fly-caster, Joan Salvato, whom he married. Wulff's career began in advertising in New York. He had earned a civil engineering degree from Stanford, wanted to be an artist, but loved sport fishing best of all. He soon bailed out of big business to pursue his passion. In 1931, while Wulff was teaching anglers to tie flies, he conceived and designed the fishing vest which is in popular use today. Soon he was writing for fishing magazines as he pursued his passion for angling, especially in the Canadian wilderness. Wulff had a zeal for catching fish on light, inexpensive equipment. In 1967 off Ecuador, he landed a 148-pound striped marlin on 12-pound test to set a long-lasting IGFA record. As satisfying to Wulff as the record was the fact that he had set it with a rod and reel that nearly everyone could afford. After 1979, Lee and Joan Wulff operated a fly fishing school on the Beaverkill River in the Catskill Mountains. Here, Wulff encouraged and taught others the sport of his lifetime. He was also very active in conservation efforts, and instrumental in popularizing catch and release practices. He coined a phrase which became a rallying cry for angling conservationists: "Game fish are too valuable to be caught only once.". According to the story Wolf, a Nebraska wildlife artist living part time in Wyoming, met his idol guiding him in the Jackson One Fly in 1990. After watching Wulff fish for a day he knew that he had to devise a tribute and the idea for the sculpture was born. Approved by both Joan and Lee, the project was delayed by Lee's sudden death in April of 1991 which just further inspired Wolf see the project through. The sculpture was unveiled in 1992 at the same place it was conceived, the Jackson Hole One Fly. Wolf rendered Lee as he appeared in 1960 and the piece was available in three sizes, a table edition (15 inches high), a garden edition (80 percent life size) and a monumental edition.

Smith & Wesson Ladysmith 3rd Model .22 Revolver

Lot #104 (Sale Order 114 of 499)

Available for your consideration is a extremely early and very high condition Smith and Wesson Third Model Ladysmith .22 Rim Fire Revolver. This is the final perfected variation of the very rare and limited production “Ladysmith” line of tiny 7-shot revolvers painstakingly produced and hand fitted by S&W beginning in 1902 and ending in 1921. Only approx. 12,200 of these miniscule Third Model Revolvers were manufactured beginning in 1910 at serial number 13951. This example is one of the very first made and bears matching serial number 14090 on the butt, frame, cylinder and barrel. The Ladysmith Revolvers have always been very popular with collectors in part because of their diminutive size as well as the fact that they were designed by Daniel B. Wesson for use by women for self defense. They were chambered for the mild .22 Long cartridge (NOT the more powerful .22 Long Rifle cartridge). Because of this, most surviving Ladysmith revolvers at one time or another have had the more powerful .22 Long Rifle cartridges fired in them and now show cracking, splitting or complete blowing away of the delicate rear portion of the barrel that protrudes through the frame just ahead of the cylinder called the “forcing cone.” The forcing cone on this example is intact and excellent. This low serial number, probably first month production example, is in the most desirable blue finish. With the exception of minute edge wear, nearly all of the factory original bright blue remains. The trigger sides and hammer display fine original case color and the fancier than standard grain walnut grips with deep brass S&W medallions are basically perfect! This double action revolver can be fired by simply pulling the trigger which cocks and fires the weapon, or by first pulling back the hammer to cock the revolver before pulling the trigger. The tiny seven shot cylinder is released by pulling forward on the knurled end of the barrel lug ahead of the extractor rod located under the 3 ½” barrel. This unlocks the cylinder so that it can be swung to the side for loading and unloading. The Ladysmith revolvers are so small that their actions and internal parts had to be fitted by hand with their mechanisms often being compared to fine Swiss mechanical watches of the period! Because of this, most surviving Ladysmiths have actions that at best are out of synch or at worst not functioning altogether. The action on this example works perfectly with all parts locking up tightly. All original rounded head screws are perfect, retain bright blue finish and show no signs of being turned. The side of the barrel is correctly marked “.22 S&W CTG” with the also correct two line top stamping “SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS U.S.A.” over patent date markings ending in 1909. Sharp S&W logo stamping on frame. Ladysmith revolvers in any kind of condition are rarely offered. This S&W Third Model Ladysmith is one of the best examples extant and would be the centerpiece of any S&W or .22 Caliber firearm collection. It is easily museum quality. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic Handgun, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 14090

RARE Engraved Western Bulldog Revolver & Holster

Lot #105 (Sale Order 115 of 499)

For bidding in this lot is a factory engraved and ivory stocked, superb condition “Western Bulldog” marked revolver, with superb wide belt and holster dating from approx. 1880-1895! This revolver is chambered for the unusual .41 Short center fire cartridge with 5-shot un-fluted cylinder and 2 1/2” round barrel. Many, if not most, Bulldog revolvers were made in smaller calibers, making the big .41 caliber 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 “WESTERN” and “BULL DOG.” There are no visible foreign proof marks on this revolver which probably indicates U.S. manufacture. This is a much better example than normally encountered on the collector market. The 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 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. Bulldog revolvers this embellished and in this outstanding state of preservation, inside and out, are rarely offered on the collector market today. Additionally, paired with this embellished revolver is the original “secret” money belt with sewn-in holster and pockets. The belt measures a full 4 ½” wide in the center and tapers to approx. 3 ½” at each end. It is approx. 34” long with a buckle at each end for attaching a removable adjustment strap. On the left side is a small snap-fastened covered pouch that measures 3” wide and 3” deep, next to this pouch is a cross-draw holster made exactly for this revolver with retaining strap that secures into what appears to be a bone or ivory button. In the center of the belt is a large snap fastened, covered compartment secured by two additional buckle straps that measures 8” wide by 4” deep. Lastly, on the right side of the belt is a similar double buckle strap and snap fastened covered compartment that measures 7” by 3.” A fascinating part of this leather rig is that it is sewn across the top portion only, so that when the belt is removed and opened it becomes a long wallet with five slotted enclosures that are secure and hidden when the belt is worn! There is also a snap fastener at the bottom of each end of the belt. It is interesting to note that snap fasteners were invented by a German inventor named Heribert Bauer in 1885. All seams, stitching, snaps and leather are intact and in a remarkable state of preservation. This beautiful condition and unusual holster rig combined with the original Western Bulldog .41 center fire caliber ivory gripped revolver make for a stunning display of an extremely rare set. The revolver qualifies as an Antique Handgun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: NSN.

Colt Bisley S/A .45 Stembridge Hollywood Revolver

Lot #106 (Sale Order 116 of 499)

This lot offers you a Colt Bisley Single Action .45 Colt caliber, 4 ¾” barrel revolver with floral carved holster once owned by Stembridge Gun Rentals of Hollywood, California! This fine all matching serial numbered Bisley was made in 1902 and is identified by Stembridge’s “S” owner’s marking stamped next to the frame serial number 245877. Stembridge was founded in 1920 by James Stembridge and Cecil B. DeMille to supply guns to the movie industry. The company went out of business in the 1990s. At this time their extensive collection of firearms was liquidated. Most of these famed Hollywood movie guns have found homes in museums and private collections, making examples extremely hard to acquire. One can only wonder the great western movies in which this Bisley played a part and what Hollywood stars might have handled it during filming! Being an unusual and early Colt, it is likely that this was one of the original 1920 Stembridge acquisitions. During this early time in film, westerns were one of the most popular and profitable motion picture genres. The Colt Bisley Model was named for the famed Bisley Shooting Range in England and was an attempt by Colt to offer the Single Action Army revolver shooter an informal target single action option. With its lower hammer, curved trigger and sloping grip frame, the Bisley model found favor with those who preferred a different style and feel in their Colt Single Action revolver. The Bisley Model seemed to be especially popular in the Southwestern U.S. Considerably more scarce on the collector market today, the total number of Single Action Army revolvers manufactured by Colt reached over 357,000 before the start of World War II. Of this number only 44,350 were in the Bisley configuration. The most popular calibers in the Bisley were the .32-20 and .38-40. Only a total of 8,005 Bisleys in all three standard barrel lengths combined (4 ¾”, 5 ½” & 7 ½”) were made in the most desirable caliber of .45 Colt. This Colt Bisley has all matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. It also retains excellent original Colt markings including the two-line barrel address used only on 4 ¾” revolvers (all longer lengths had a one line address). The left side of the barrel is also correctly marked “(BISLEY MODEL) .45 COLT” and the left side of the frame retains the two lines of patent dates plus the rampant colt logo. Most of the metal surfaces are now a gray patina from years of handling and holster wear. There is some fine blue retained in the most protected areas around the ejector housing. There is also considerable edge wear to the left side of the muzzle showing that this revolver was drawn and holstered as well as carried a great deal! One can only wonder at the number of hard-riding western films this Colt must have been in to cause this kind of honest holster wear! Front sight has not been altered and the correct, original Colt hard rubber grips show wear but are sound. All screws are excellent and the action works correctly. The bore is also excellent. The beautifully floral carved black holster is embossed on the reverse side “COLORADO SADDLERY” over “DENVER” and fits any 4 ¾” barrel Single Action or Bisley revolver perfectly. Apparently this holster came from Stembridge Gun Rentals with this Bisley. The holster is in excellent overall condition. Not only a fine Colt collectable, but unquestionably a wonderful piece of Hollywood western movie memorabilia! The revolver qualifies as a Curio & Relic Handgun, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 245877

Colt Civil War .36 Cal Model 1862 Police Revolver

Lot #107 (Sale Order 117 of 499)

Offered for auction in this lot is an early Civil War Manufacture Colt five-shot .36 caliber percussion Model 1862 Police Revolver. This very fine example with correct 4 ½ inch barrel was manufactured during the midst of the heaviest fighting of the Civil War in 1863. It bears the serial number 17521 which is matching on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, back strap, cylinder and arbor. The Model 1862 was a popular weapon that bridged the gap between the small .31 caliber pocket model Colt and the larger and more cumbersome full size Army and Navy holster revolvers. It made a fine belt revolver or could be carried concealed under a coat. One of the best descriptions of the Colt1862 Police revolver is presented by Norm Flayderman in his classic work Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms: “The Model 1862 Police is considered by many collectors as the ultimate in streamline design by Colt’s factory in the percussion period. Due to slow sales and the demand for metallic cartridge arms, several thousand of the late production of the Model 1862 Police and the Pocket Navy were converted from percussion to cartridge use. The result has been to add to the desirability of these arms in their original cap and ball configuration.” With only approximately 48,000 of this model in all forms being produced over 150 years ago, surviving examples are scarce, especially in this fine state of preservation and originality. This becomes apparent when compared to the numbers produced by other models: Colt Model1849- approx. 300,000; Colt Model1851- over 215,000; Colt Model1860- approx 200,500. The Model 1862 was made with one piece walnut grips and those on this example are exceptional, retaining perfect fit, no chips and showing almost all of the original varnish finish. The brass back strap and trigger guard also show strong traces of the original silver plate that has never been polished. The case hardened frame also retains traces of original case color as does the hammer and rammer. The cylinder and barrel show an attractive aged blue patina with fine deep blue in the protected areas and under the rammer on the barrel. All markings are exceptionally clear including the small “36 CAL” stamping on the left rear side of the trigger guard, “Colts Patent” stamping on the left side of the frame and “ADDRESS COL. SAMl COLT NEW-YORK U. S. AMERICA” on the barrel top. Stamped within one of the cylinder flutes is “PAT SEPT. 10th 1850.” Mechanically this revolver is as tight and functional as the day it left the factory. The rifled bore is excellent and the rear of the cylinder retains all of the “safety holding pins” between each nipple which are usually found broken. These delicate pins allow the shooter to carry the revolver fully loaded with the hammer safely down and secured from movement on one of the pins between loaded chambers. There is a corresponding cut-out on the face of the hammer to encase the pin securely when the hammer is down and keep the cylinder from slipping or turning to a loaded chamber. Even the tiny conical brass front sight is intact on this rare revolver. Like the “safety pins” between each chamber on the back of the cylinder, the front sights on this model are usually found broken or missing. The screw heads in the frame, rammer, trigger guard and butt are all in excellent condition with many still retaining their original Colt blue finish! A truly excellent example of a Navy Caliber Colt revolver that very likely saw service as a personal weapon during the Civil War and later during the violent days of reconstruction and westward expansion. The revolver qualifies as an Antique Handgun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 17521.

Remington New Mod. Army .44 Cal Civil War Revolver

Lot #108 (Sale Order 118 of 499)

Offered in this lot is a Remington New Model Army .44 Caliber Percussion Six Shot Civil War revolver, serial number 62679. This extremely accurate and finely made mainstay of the war was Colt’s stiffest competition for their Model 1860. Many officers, cavalry and foot soldiers preferred the Remington over the Colt because of the sturdy one-piece frame with top strap that would never shoot loose. Some found it expedient to carry extra loaded cylinders that could be readily installed to replace a fired one. 8” octagon barrel with correct front sight and marked in three lines, “PATENTED SEPT.14, 1858” over “E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, NEW YORK, U.S.A.” over “NEW MODEL.” Correct brass trigger guard with barrel and rammer showing good aged blue. The cylinder and frame also show aged blue that is mixing heavily with a natural deep and attractive patina. Good mechanics, loading lever intact and functioning properly, lovely walnut grips with the left panel showing an original and desirable light government inspection cartouche. Because of their excellent reputation as reliable handguns, many of these sturdy and powerful revolvers found their way to the Western Frontier after the Civil War. It is interesting to note that the famous showman Buffalo Bill Cody carried a Remington New Model Army .44 from 1866 through the 1870s while buffalo hunting and partaking in the Indian Wars. He famously claimed, “It never failed me.” This is a fine example of an unaltered and uncleaned Civil War New Model Army .44 caliber revolver that would be a key part of any Civil War or Frontier Arms collection. This revolver qualifies as an Antique Handgun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 62679.

16th Century European Hand Canon

Lot #109 (Sale Order 119 of 499)

Included in this lot is a very rare opportunity to bid on one of the oldest forms of firearms extant! This is a circa 1400s to early 1500s Hand Cannon! Truly the first type of firearm used anywhere in the world. Almost all of this genre of firearm comes from archeological sites where all such artifacts end up in museums and almost never on the collector market. This example, like nearly all in existence, is made of heavy iron that is now heavily and evenly pitted from age. Probably of European origin, possibly German, this large example is approximately 8” long and approximately 2” wide at the muzzle. It is octagon shaped with a 1” bore diameter. There is a pronounced flair to the rear end and a slight flair to the front end of this weapon. The touch hole for placing the lit “wick” or match is located approximately ¾” from the rear. These primitive firearms were typically lashed to the end of a pole- there is a notch cut into the rear side of this example that obviously was used as a securing point for lashing to a pole. They were muzzle loaded with ball, shot or even stones and ignited through the touch hole. Usually they were used by a team of two in which one held and “aimed” the pole with loaded hand cannon attached while the second member of the team held the match or burning stick. Upon command, the match holder placed the burning end to the touch hole and set off the charge. The hand cannon is now an elusive item for any arms collection as most are not on the collector market, but rather on exhibit in castles or museums in Europe. Few have come up for sale in the last decade. One example, similar to this one, was offered at auction by Hermann Historica, Munich, 7 April, 2008. It sold for 2400 Euro. (papers showing photos of this item and sale included with this similar hand cannon) Probably there are only a handful of these early firearms in private collections. This hand canon qualifies as an Antique Firearm, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: NSN.

1st YR. Winchester 1886 Lever Action .45-70 Rifle

Lot #116 (Sale Order 126 of 499)

For sale in this lot is a very early Winchester 1886 octagon rifle made during the first full year of production in the rare and desirable .45-70 caliber, low serial number 4523, made 1887. A scarce and desirable western big game chambering in the Model 1886, the .45-70 Government cartridge was the chambering that John Browning used to make the big Model 1886 the strongest and most potent lever action rifle of the day. Few surviving examples of such an early production date remain today and are seldom offered on the collector market. The standard and correct 26” octagon barrel shows a deep and rich blue finish with only very light ageing and retains excellent Winchester markings that include: “MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.” The upper tang is marked with the earliest model designation and states simply, “MODEL 1886.” The bolt located on the top of the receiver also shows a deep and rich blue finish. The receiver case colors have faded to an attractive silvery-gray appearance with excellent screw heads indicating that this fine rifle was not disassembled or repaired. The action is fully functional and tight. The excellent condition butt stock, with correct early heavy crescent-style butt plate, and forearm display fine, very tight wood to metal fit. Even the bore is surprisingly fine with good rifling all the way through. Further, this early 1886 is fitted with the optional and desirable Winchester “Sporting Ladder” rear barrel sight correctly marked “1886” on the ladder and remarkably still retains the slide (these usually missing). The front sight is of the popular long blade with bead style. The top of the octagon barrel ahead of the receiver is clearly and correctly stamped with the caliber designation “45-70.” The 1886 in .45-70 chambering was very popular in the American West. This is an exceptionally early and seriously powerful frontier rifle in particularly fine condition that is worthy of the finest Winchester or western firearms collection. The rifle qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 4523.

Spencer Model 1860 Civil War Saddle Ring Carbine

Lot #117 (Sale Order 127 of 499)

Available in this lot for your consideration is a Civil War Model 1860 Spencer Repeating Saddle Ring Carbine. One of the most important and iconic cavalry weapons of the Civil War, the Spencer holds the position of being the first successful repeating long gun to be issued by the United States Government. To quote from the classic book, Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms, “One of the most colorful, widely used and popular Civil War firearms, the Spencer received the unique advantage and distinction, after a trial firing demonstration, of gaining the personal endorsement of President Lincoln. Toward the end of the Civil War, the Spencer established itself firmly as the main arm for cavalry use and was widely issued during the Indian Wars era also. It was a dazed, somewhat incredulous Confederate soldier, after capture by Custer’s 5th Michigan Cavalry at Gettysburg (only outfit armed with the Spencer that day) who is credited with the oft-repeated remark that ‘Spencers load in the morning and fire all day.’” The most desirable of the Spencer models is the true early Civil War Model of 1860. It is easily recognizable from the later, Post-Civil War, Indian Wars Model of 1865 by the fact that it has a 22” barrel where the later 1865 model has a 20” barrel. The Civil War Model 1860 also has six groove rifling, is chambered for the .56-56 Spencer Rim Fire cartridge which is actually .52 caliber and has a single sling swivel inletted in the butt stock. Later Spencer arms were typically .50 caliber. Only approximately 50,000 Civil War carbines were made from 1863-1865 and are found in the serial number range of approximately 11000 to 61000. After the Civil War many of these first series carbines had alterations done to change the caliber to .50 by sleeving the barrel and adding a magazine cut-off devise. Unaltered Model 1860 Spencer Carbines are considered quite rare and are always desirable in any condition. This carbine is number 50081 and has not been altered. All early Civil War Spencers were in high demand by the Union Cavalry and all were issued to troops where they saw very hard use. This original .52 caliber example still retains the original sights, 22” barrel with six groove rifling, saddle ring and correct single sling swivel in the butt stock. The top of the receiver retains the original markings: “SPENCER REPEATING/RIFLE CO. BOSTON, MASS./PAT’D MARCH 6, 1860.” All metal surfaces show a very deep and aged patina. These unique arms were loaded through a tube in the butt plate with seven rim fire cartridges held in place and pushed to the receiver by a spring loaded plunger/magazine tube that fit into the butt stock. This carbine still retains its original spring loaded magazine tube. The stock and forearm show handling, but are sound and unaltered. Overall, this fine original example shows no sanding of the wood or over-cleaning of the metal surfaces. While it shows normal battlefield use, it displays no later abuse or restoration. All mechanical function remains in good working order with strong springs and a tight action. The original ladder rear sight with slide is intact- these usually missing or replaced. Many Spencers were retained by returning soldiers who in turn carried them to the Western Frontier. One of the scarcest and most desirable of the entire Spencer line of rifles and carbines, the true unaltered Civil War Model of 1860 is extremely difficult to obtain in today’s collector market. This carbine qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: 50081.

Native American Tower 1861 .58Cal Rifled Musket

Lot #118 (Sale Order 128 of 499)

This is a Native American Indian used 1861 Tower cut-down musket. The Tower British .58 caliber rifled musket was ordered by the thousands and delivered mainly to the Confederacy during the Civil War. This finely made weapon saw wide spread use through the entire conflict. After the war, many of these Tower muskets were retained by the soldiers who were issued them and many of these went West with the thousands of Ex-Confederate soldiers who did not want to remain in the defeated South during Reconstruction. According to the book Arming The West: A Fresh New Look at the Guns that were Actually Carried on the Frontier, “Myth-busting details from the Western shipping records of firearms giant Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, 1868-1886,” by noted arms historian Herbert G. Houze, beginning in 1868 and continuing through the 1870s, many thousand of these British .58 caliber Civil War surplus muskets were shipped to dealers and distributors in the West. They were considered reliable, powerful and accurate arms for economy minded westward pioneers. It also helped that many if not most men going West during this time had military experience and were familiar with the workings of the .58 caliber rifled musket. This extraordinary example shows very heavy, classic Indian usage. The butt stock displays extremely heavy wear and has had its butt plate removed (a small portion of the top part is still screwed into the stock!) in all probability to be better used as a hide scraper. The stock is tack decorated in the classic “sacred circle” design as well as the traditional spiritual “four direction” cross design. The wood shows incredibly heavy wear, weathering and dark age-staining. Aside from the symbolic tack designs on each side of the stock are brass tack line decorations around the rear of the stock and along the bottom edge behind the trigger guard tang. The barrel has been cut back from the original 40 inches to approximately 25” and is secured to the fore stock by a full 21 inch length of thin, stretched rawhide that was applied “green” or wet and un-tanned, allowed to shrink-dry and then beautifully sinew-sewn along the full bottom length with additional fine stitching around each end. This leather shows heavy staining from barrel rust on the top section and in front of the stock where the rawhide was sewn around the barrel. There are also six brass tacks on each side of the fore arm that show dark age-staining around their edges. All brass tacks in the stock are heavily aged brown. The lock plate is marked “Tower” and is dated “1861” with correct crown stamping. The brass trigger guard also shows a heavily aged patina. All exposed steel parts are also a deep aged brown patina. The hammer spring remains intact, but the hammer will not hold full cock. The main use for these shortened big-bore rifles was for mounted buffalo hunting in which Indian hunters galloped their horses into herds of buffalo and then firing at point blank range into the stampeding animals. This important firearm came from an estate collection in Northern Montana where it was said this particular Indian weapon was originally collected locally in 1959. Here is a remarkable musket that has Civil War, Western and finally Indian history all combined into one artifact! The rifle qualifies as an Antique Long Gun, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check. Serial Number: NSN.

Lot #135 (Sale Order 152 of 499)

This is a first edition of "In Darkest Africa" by H.M. Stanley published in 1890. Perhaps no adventurer is more closely connected with Africa than Lord Stanley, whose various expeditions did more to reveal the nature of that continent than any modern explorer. His 1887 mission to relieve the besieged governor of Egypt, his last mission to Africa, ended miserably when Stanley arrived only to learn that the governor did not care to be relieved, but instead was angry at the Englishman for interfering in his affairs. This account contains the harrowing details of Stanley’s journey through the nearly impenetrable Ituri, or Great Congo, Forest, which he traversed not once but three times over the course of his travels. The conditions were brutal; sometimes the expedition could achieve no more than three or four hundred yards an hour. Along the way Stanley compiled important data on the Pygmies and discovered the Ruwenzori, or “Mountains of the Moon.” The perilous journey nearly cost Stanley his life, and only a third of the men with whom he set out returned alive. The books are in good condition, with wear from age and use. The books measure 6" x 9".

From there, stagecoaches carried General Willson to Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah and on to Virginia City, Montana. He met with then Territorial Governor of Montana, Thomas F. Meagher in Virginia City and arrived in Bozeman on May 22, 1867. He became an active partner with his brother Davis, Rich and Tuller in running the mercantile business which was now flourishing because of the construction of Fort Ellis just west of town. In January, 1868 he returned to New York and proposed to Miss Emma D. Weeks. By May, he was back in Bozeman helping run the business. In January 1869, Willson returned to Albany, New York to marry Miss Emma D. Weeks on March 2, 1869, and bring her back to Bozeman. Returning via a Missouri River steamboat to Fort Benton, Montana, Lester, Emma and her piano were back in Bozeman by mid-May 1869. They soon moved into a remodeled cabin originally built by Daniel E. Rouse in 1864 in what was at the time one of the finest residences in Bozeman. Tuller left the business in 1868 and Davis Willson in 1870 to rejoin for a short period in 1872. Davis Willson eventually became a Presbyterian minister in the 1880s and the pastor of a small Gallatin Valley church.

Lathem Watchman's Clock w/ Leather Carry Case

Lot #452 (Sale Order 492 of 499)

For sale in this lot is a Lathem Watchman's Clock, manufactured by Lathem Watchman's Clock Company out of Atlanta, Georgia. The watchman clock was used between 1910 and 1940 it was actually a piece of new technology to see that a night watchman was properly doing his rounds. It worked this way. By definition a night watchman was on the job while everyone else was asleep. So theoretically it was possible for a night watchman to take a little time off from his job without anyone knowing because they were asleep. However, if the guard could prove he was doing his rounds, and was in the right place at the right time, his job performance couldn’t be questioned. This led to the watchman’s clock. A guard would carry this clock and proceed on his rounds throughout the night. At certain places there would be a “station” with a key that he would put into the clock which would record what time he had visited that station. There were numerous stations within the hotel and on the grounds. With the advent of modern computer and video technology, this device became completely obsolete. The clock includes a key. The clock is in very-good aesthetic condition, but mechanical condition is unknown. Without the carry strap, the clock measures 6 3/4" across, and 3 1/4" thick.
