Clearly the purchaser was intent on replacing the factory sight with an adjustable sight, a Micro sits in the rear dovetail now, a vintage Elliason would look even better and be correct. There is some minor peening to the breech face of the slide from use over the years but it is unobtrusive and the slide is appropriately numbered to the gun.

The metal surfaces of the rifle show an even smooth gray brown patina with some scattered light oxidation staining, a few very light surface marks and a very small amount of light pitting. All markings remain clear and legible and edges remain crisp and well-defined. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate good plus with added finish and some old filler repair on the left side of the wrist. Stocks are sound and have a decent appearance. The rifle is sighted with a German silver blade Rocky Mountain front and standard open sporting rear sights. A good solid example of these seldom-encountered American lever guns which competed with the big Winchester 1876. (18315-20LTS287) {ANTIQUE} [Lewis T. Steadman Collection]

Interesting Remington Lee Model 1882 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #64 (Sale Order 64 of 1062)

serial #3194, 11mm, 32" barrel with a mint bore. This is an unusual rifle which bears a Remington Factory Collection rectangular brass inventory tag affixed to the toeline of stock which bears the number "705". This particular rifle is listed in Myszkowski's The Remington Lee Rifle within its index of "Remington Factory Collection Lee Arms Sold", the entry reads "Inventory Number 705, serial number 3194, 32" barrel, 11mm". This rifle is numbered in the 1879 Lee serial range but has standard 1882 markings and is equipped with a Lee-Cook second generation magazine with sliding detent.

Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Schuetzen Rifle

Lot #65 (Sale Order 65 of 1062)

serial #109444, 22 LR, 26" part round part octagon No. 4 weight barrel with a bright excellent bore. This rifle has features galore including fancy checkered walnut Schuetzen style stocks with Helm buttplate, part octagon barrel, factory adjustable double set triggers, tuning fork palm rest and a Winchester A5 telescopic sight mounted on target blocks. The factory record for this serial number sounds like a trigger assembly only "Serial number applied on February 18, 1910, New Parts - No old number" and it was received, shipped and returned for repair all on February 25, 1910 on order number 28742. The tang shows no assembly numbers or wood grade which it certainly should, based on the rifle it is installed in, this lends more credence to our theory. All parts are factory original, period Winchester produced parts, the buttstock and buttplate show assembly number 6160 in the endgrain of the stock and inside toe of buttplate. The debate is: was this an original New Haven assembled Schuetzen rifle with a replaced trigger assembly/tang OR was this assembled at some later point in this configuration? Regardless, it is as handsome as can be, in very nice condition and would be an absolute joy to shoot. The barrel retains about 70% evenly thinning original blue finish blending with a gray brown patina in thin areas. The action shows 95% original blue while the spur lever shows strong original color case-hardened finish. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and schnabel tipped forend are of highly figured American black walnut and rate excellent with about 95% original finish remaining. The rifle is sighted with a globe windgauge front, blank in rear seat and a Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight, in addition to the previously mentioned Winchester A5 scope. An extremely handsome Winchester High Wall Schuetzen rifle with all the bells and whistles. (18854-3) {C&R}

Remington Hepburn No. 3 Sporting and Target Rifle

Lot #66 (Sale Order 66 of 1062)

serial #8890, 32-40, 28" octagon barrel with a very near excellent bore which shows clean bright rifling its entire length with perhaps a scattered pit here or there. This is a very handsome later-style Hepburn rifle. The barrel shows the proper Remington Arms Company address and retains about 70% original blue with loss on high edges and also due to some light thinning. The action shows 90% plus original color case-hardened finish which remains quite strong with just slight fading. The checkered rounded pistolgrip buttstock and schnabel tipped forend with ebony insert rate excellent with 95% original finish remaining and with nice raised grain on the butt and with sharp checkering on pistolgrip. The forend is smooth with the previously mentioned schnabel tip and shows a brass-filled hole in the bottom just ahead of the action, probably where some type of palm rest was once affixed. The rifle is fitted with a brass Swiss buttplate which has the correct shape and style but the profile as it meets the stock is slightly different. The wood beneath the buttplate shows proper age and is completely undisturbed. So this is either a variant Remington buttplate or a custom buttplate that was expertly fitted when the rifle was new, we tend to lean toward the former. The rifle is sighted with a German silver blade Rocky Mountain front and standard open sporting rear sight. This is a nice honest Hepburn rifle with lots of color and condition.

Very Fine A. H. Fox A Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #71 (Sale Order 71 of 1062)

serial #302277, 16 ga., 28” barrels choked light modified and full with bright excellent bores which show a few extremely light remnants of light oxidation nearer the muzzles. The barrels retain a nice 96-97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, more so at the breeches, showing perhaps the very sparsely scattered very light handling mark here or there from the years but they are very minor in nature. The frame shows the nice rich later A-grade engraving and retains about 70% original color case-hardening, the belly toning to a mottled pewter case-hardened patina; there is still very good blue on the bow of the guard. The checkered walnut round knob pistolgrip buttstock rates very good plus with much original varnish which is crackling nicely from the years, also showing a bit of added varnish over the flakes and light handling marks. The splinter style forend is very good as well with numerous light dings and handling marks with some flaking, it is slightly lighter in color than the buttstock but certainly appears original to the gun in every respect.

Lockup is as tight as the day it left Philadelphia in 1924, with the top lever still solidly right of center. A very attractive A-grade 16 bore that will maintain solid investment potential but could (and should) still go afield this October. (38902-1) {C&R}

The barrels retain about 98% original blue, the loss is due primarily to some very light fading nearer the muzzles and a few very sparsely scattered, very light handling marks or scratches from the years. The frame and lockplates are very nice retaining a similar amount of vivid color case-hardening, showing light loss on the right fence and some light toning at the forward carry point of the frame. The triggerguard still exhibits excellent original blue with some slight loss in the area of the grip, the forend iron with all of its blue. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and splinter forend rate excellent, the buttstock showing nice antique crazing finish on both sides of the butt and a bit at the lockplates, likely due to some manner of gun solvent, also a few minor handling marks and light dings; the forend appears very nearly as-new. the length of pull to the original grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/8” with drops of 1 1/2” and 2 1/2” The lockup is bank-vault tight with the top lever still right of center.

Interesting Whitney Kennedy Small Caliber Special Order Smoothbore "Rifle"

Lot #75 (Sale Order 75 of 1062)

serial #N562, 44-40, 24" octagon barrel with full magazine and a very good bore. This rifle has a couple unusual features, the biggest of which is the smoothbore barrel except for the last inch or so at the muzzle where there is some 12-groove rifling. It is our supposition that this was done to make the gun appear rifled if anyone actually looked at the muzzle. The bore diameter does not increase in the smooth section which lends credence to the originality of the smoothbore barrel. In addition to this the barrel shows only "CF" as a caliber designation and the barrel address is simply "KENNEDY" in block letters. This rifle is illustrated and discussed in a two-page spread in Maxwell's book with the main caption reading "A fine, rare and interesting special order small caliber Kennedy. A .44 caliber smoothbore, superb fancy wood, double sett (sic) triggers with a special screw to fire when lever is closed. Nickel receiver, forend tip and lever. The bore is actually .450 with 1 inch of 12 groove rifling at the muzzle. Obviously the gun of an exhibition shooter, but who? SN N562." The metal surfaces of the rifle retain an even pleasing brown patina with generous traces of original nickel plated finish on action, nosecap and lever. The nicely figured walnut stocks rate about very good as refinished and being just a tad shy of the buttplate. As mentioned by Sam Maxwell in his description, there is a screw which enters the bottom of the frame above the front trigger. The screw has a knurled edge to facilitate turning it with a finger. If one holds the trigger in the fired position and unscrews this screw, it will hold the trigger in the fired position and allow rapid fire operation by just working the lever. This is an extremely rare and interesting Whitney Kennedy rifle, perfect for the advanced Whitney collector or the collector of American trick shooting memorabilia.

The gun includes the original factory box with Styrofoam insert that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun, single factory magazine and paperwork. A fine addition for the High Standard collector. (88873-90) {C&R}

Colt Model 1878 Double Action Revolver belonging To Texas Ranger Capt. Sam Mcmurry

Lot #102 (Sale Order 102 of 1062)

serial #5494, 45 Colt, 4 3/4” barrel, professionally shortened during the period of use, with a very good plus bore which is mostly bright with good rifling but showing a couple areas of light oxidation or a few spots of light pitting. The revolver is an overall gunmetal gray patina with some sparse light handling marks from the years and some sparsely scattered spots of light pinprick pitting. The arm wears a pair of smooth hard rubber Rampant Colt grips which rate good, the right grip worn nearly smooth, each with a prominent chip from their rear edge, the right grip with a repaired crack along its top edge, they are un-numbered but their fit is excellent. The lanyard loop is intact and the gun will time but does not lock up appropriately. The barrel shows a very professional shortening and has the 7 1/2” barrel legend roll marked across the top, a silver front sight was reset after the shortening, it is no doubt made from a dime or other silver Mexican currency as was fairly common, professionally done and professionally set. The sideplate was neatly engraved during the period of use “Texas Ranger/1882/Company B Frontier Bat.” with the backstrap engraved “Capt. Sam McMurry”, all of this in block letters, appearing to have been on the arm since it was new. Under high magnification there are areas of oxidation and light pitting which are over (or perhaps more accurately “through”) the engraving, as well as minute handling marks which are through the characters, meaning the inscription was in place before these defects occurred. It is known some Texas Rangers preferred double action revolver’s over the single action Colt, in fact one excerpt, which is included in a dossier of paper, was talking specifically about McMurry, but relates an incident that another Ranger Capt. was involved in, regarding pistol whipping, and states “The fellow, who was an imported product, used a double action pistol with which the real “bend” cannot be executed.” (the “bend” being knocking someone on the head in a non-fatal manner). The included factory letter shows shipment April 27, 1881 to Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis Missouri, confirms the caliber and 7 1/2” barrel. Included with the arm are numerous photocopies of excerpts from books that mention McMurry, photocopies of a couple of pay vouchers for the state of Texas which mention McMurry, a photocopy of a signed oath dated 1883 by the 12 members of Co. B, Frontier Battalion (these from the Texas State archives) and two good images of McMurry. McMurry was born in Gallatin Tennessee an 1847 and in 1877 became a Texas Ranger with Lieut. Lee Hall’s Special Force at Clinton Texas. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1880 and an 1881 reorganization caused Company B to be formed with he being appointed captain. A fine and honest gun in its own right, it certainly deserves to have a proper mechanical repair completed so the arm once again locks up as it should. Included with the arm is an antique holster and belt, the cartridge belt very lightly stamp-tooled with 16 loops which will accommodate 45 caliber cartridges. The unmarked holster is lined, open topped, features dual tone running stitch latigo accent on its face and has a double loop stitched latigo border. Both rate very good with some light flaking and drying but are overall still supple and flexible. This is a very seldom-had opportunity to own a genuine bona fide Texas Ranger owned and carried revolver. (38864-37) {ANTIQUE}

The lockplate is properly marked with Federal Eagle and "U.S. / NORWICH" ahead of hammer and is dated 1863 to rear of hammer. The metal surfaces are a medium gray patina with remnants of light pitting and staining with more active oxidation in the bolster area and some specks of freckling on the lock. All markings in the metal remain clear and legible. The walnut stock rates very good plus with a good deal of original finish remaining, well-defined edges, two good cartouches and "JAS. D. MOWRY" stamp in oval on left stock flat. The stock shows light handling marks from the years but appears original and untouched.

Colt Single Action Army Frontier Six Shooter Etched Panel Revolver with Montana ID

Lot #104 (Sale Order 104 of 1062)

serial #87621, 44-40 WCF, 7 1/2” barrel with an about good bore which shows evident rifling but with pitting its full-length. The metal surfaces are an overall gunmetal gray and are mostly smooth. There are the expected light dings and handling marks one would imagine from the years, evidence of light oxidation staining on the frame and spots of light pitting in the cylinder flutes with perhaps a few widely scattered very light pits here and there. The barrel shows the faintest ghost of the etched panel evident if one bounces the light off it properly. The one piece walnut grip rates very good with remnants of original varnish and dings and handling marks, most prominent along the butt edges and right side of the gun, it is numbered to the gun in antique ink pen and fits very well. All of the numbers are matching and the gun seems to time well and locks up appropriately and has a very robust hammer spring. The ejector rod head is slightly bent and some of the screws show some light slot damage. The included factory letter shows shipment in March 1883 to Hartley & Graham in New York. There is an additional letter included, on business letterhead, from a former owner in Texas, a Mr. H. Griffith, which details how the arm belonged to his father, Hiram Griffith, a Quaker rancher in Montana Territory, in-which he also relates an amusing anecdote about his father shooting a rattlesnake with the revolver when they were astride horses one day. There is an image of the man included in frontier garb with his Colt slide action rifle and belt and holster. There is also a copy of his registration of a brand in Montana Territory, dated June 19, 1885, the brand appearing to be a “lazy G”. The holster and belt are included as well and appear to be the one in the image of Mr. Griffith, the buckle differs slightly. They rate about very good with the expected drying and flaking from the years, the holster is double “Mexican jockstrap” style and is kid-skin lined and shows light floral decoration. Federal records do indicate that Hiram Griffith was indeed a cattle rancher in Montana in both the 1910 and 1930 censuses. Overall a very honest etched panel Frontier Six Shooter with a very frontier look and an interesting connection to this Montana rancher. (38864-4) {ANTIQUE}

The lock bears all proper markings and is dated 1864 to rear of hammer while the barrel shows all proper inspector's marks, is also dated 1864 and has an addition "207" deeply stamped adjacent to the inspector's marks. This musket is actually in the 1863 configuration as Norris and Clement updated to the 1863 style so the configuration was current. The barrel shows a light gray patina likely having been lightly cleaned at some point. The lock is a little darker with some scattered light oxidation staining. All markings in metal remain crisp and clear. The walnut stock rates very good with nice edges, two visible cartouches and with normal handling marks and bruises from the years. The gun comes with its correct tulip shaped ramrod and two leaf folding rear musket sight. A good solid example of the Norris & Clement contract rifle-musket. (18752-59) {ANTIQUE}

serial #2952475, 30-06, 1-52 dated Springfield barrel with a very good plus bore that shows some light oxidation and frosting. The metal surfaces retain 98% arsenal grade parkerized finish.

Also included is a brown leather cheek pad that is marked "MRT/10-51". A very fine M1D style rifle that will make a great addition to any military collection. (208873-696) {C&R}

U.S. Model 1903-A4 Sniper Rifle by Remington

Lot #112 (Sale Order 112 of 1062)

serial #3417722, 30-06, 24" 7-43 dated two-groove barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barreled action retains 97% of what appears to be original mixed parkerized and blued finishes as seen on Remington-produced arms, the loss is due to high edge and contact point wear with all markings remaining crisp. The bottom metal is earlier milled, rather than Remington’s stamped sheet metal factory offering, likely done during the post-war repair and check. The full pistolgrip stock rates very good plus with the overall expected minor handling marks and blemishes, most noticeably a pair of parallel tracks on the underside of the forearm from improper barrel band removal. The original "RA (ordnance wheel) FJA" cartouche is still crisp and clear on the left side with a further "RIA/FK" arsenal service cartouche added just ahead of the magazine cut-off and the circled “P” firing proof is prominent on the pistolgrip as are numerous Remington factory inspectors markings ahead of the front extension of the bottom metal. There is a Weaver M73B1 scope, serial #25015, mounted on a correct Redfield Junior base with parkerized rings with crosshair reticle and bright very good optics. The scope itself rates very good with a bit of light handling wear and some fine scratches. One of the bands shows a bit of light pitting and may be refinished, but the balance of the metal finish appears correct in every respect. A worn but serviceable M1907 leather sling is installed and a tattered set of flaked leather lens covers is also included. This is a fine '03-A4 sniper overall and would make a fine addition to any military or Second World War collection. (38873-607) {C&R}

Lot #113 (Sale Order 113 of 1062)

serial #3810592, 30 Carbine, 18" IBM barrel with a bright near excellent bore that shows perhaps the beginnings of light frosting in the grooves. The metal surfaces retain 97% arsenal parerized and blued finishes with some thinning on bolt, a small spot of oxidation staining on barrel and some light silvering on the exposed edges. The highwood M1A1 stock rates very good plus as lightly cleaned with a light 3/4" chip on left side of handguard, a few dings and scattered handling marks. The stock appears to be an original M1A1 paratrooper stock with an "IO" marking on the bottom of pistolgrip and on rear inside of slide channel cut. The buttplate is also properly marked "B257614", the rivets appear to be correct but there is no ordnance wheel on the bottom of pistolgrip nor a firing proof on the rear of the stock. The sear may be a replacement but all of the other metal parts appear to be of IBM or IBM subcontractor manufacture. No triggerguard pin is present, but a GI tan canvas sling and a 15 round Inland made magazine marked "AI" are included. A fine IBM carbine in an M1A1 paratrooper stock. (208903-1) {C&R}

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #115 (Sale Order 115 of 1062)

serial #263860, 32-20 Win, 7 1/2” barrel with an about very good bore which shows strong rifling but with some light oxidation and a few widely scattered light pits, one or two which may be a bit more moderate. The metal surfaces retain about 92-95% of what appears to be original nickel, the areas of loss flaked to a brown or plum patina, the cylinder with a prominent turn ring. All of the markings remain crisp but there are a number of moderate scar marks on the underside of the barrel in the area of the base pin, no doubt in an effort to remove or re-install it at some point. All of the edges and screw holes remain crisp but the nickel may indeed be an antique re-nickel from the period of use. The gun wears “Pointer Pup” faux stag grips which rate very good plus, but fit slightly undersize, they do give the gun a cool 50s-cowboy look however. The arm will need a bit of mechanical attention as the half cock notch is worn, as-is the loading notch but it otherwise times and locks up appropriately. Manufactured in 1905, this may be an excellent candidate for the cowboy action range after a thorough inspection and a bit of service by a competent ‘smith. (38839-2) {MODERN}

Colt Single Action Army Revolver with Bohlin Grips and Rig

Lot #116 (Sale Order 116 of 1062)

serial #301726, 38 WCF, 7 1/2” barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows only a couple spots of very widely scattered very light pitting. The barrel retains about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due to some light fading or flaking to brown, primarily at the muzzle; the ejector rod housing shows more wear, worn to gray along its outer edge. The cylinder retains perhaps 80-85% original blue with a number of rotational rings, wear to pewter due to holster contact and some flaking to plum. The frame retains perhaps 97% original color case-hardening which is quite vivid, toning along the outer edges of the recoil shield and loading gate where it would have contacted gun leather. The hammer retains some excellent color case-hardening with nice fire blue on the screws, fading somewhat on the trigger. The backstrap has strong original blue, perhaps 90-92%, the frontstrap fading more but with strong blue at the root of the guard. The arm is fitted with a lovely pair of sterling silver Bohlin grips. They feature the “Bohlin Made/Calif/Hollywood” legend on the inside of each grip and they are engraved with loose open flowing scroll and foliate motif, the right grip with a 10 karat gold inlaid longhorn steer head. The revolver comes in a Bohlin hand tooled belt and holster rig showing nice open flowing scroll and floral-foliate decoration overall. The holster’s tensioning belt has a sterling Bohlin buckle and tip, each neatly, finely engraved, the buckle with a capital letter “B” in diamond. The main fastening buckle is sterling silver and is nicely engraved as well, all three are Bohlin-marked. The belt is lined on its backside and will accommodate a waist size of 36-40 inches and has 47 cartridge loops which will accommodate a .38 to .40 caliber cartridge. The rig shows some honest wear from use but only the very lightest amount of flaking and remains supple and flexible. A very handsome cavalry-length Single Action Army revolver overall with super Bohlin grips and rig to boot. (38864-38) {C&R

U.S. Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #117 (Sale Order 117 of 1062)

serial #14386, 45 Colt, 7 1/2” barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows only some sparsely scattered very light oxidation but strong blackpowder rifling. The metal surfaces are an overall dull gunmetal gray patina showing evidence of a light cleaning, with overall pinprick pitting which is mostly light, a couple spots slightly more moderate, most prominently on left recoil shield and on cylinder. The one piece walnut grip rates about very good as cleaned many years ago, the right panel of the grip shows evidence of having been reattached and is slightly more bulbous and fatter than the left panel and is likely an antique repair. There are the remnants of an inspectors cartouche at the left lower butt, it is faint but still present, there is no discernible number within the grips. The arm features appropriate Ainsworth “A” and “P” inspectors markings and all of the numbers are matching. The number on frame and cylinder are original in every respect, the number on the triggerguard, backstrap and barrel appear to have been refreshed, although they are of correct serifed font, they appear just a very slightly “off” from the original stampings on frame and cylinder. The ejector rod housing is correct early style with stud and it features the bull’s-eye ejector rod head. The correct italicized barrel address is present, however the roll-die shows no broken characters in the small letter “o” and on the leg of the letter “A”, and appears as though the marking may have been freshened, as it is very crisp compared with the balance of the metal, the barrel appears to be an original Colt product however, looking at its antique blackpowder rifling. The arm’s serial number falls in the appropriate range for the U.S. Government contract shipped in September 1874. the gun seems to time well and locks up appropriately. Overall a good “example” piece for the martial collector hoping to add an uncut 7 1/2” Cavalry to their Colt or Indian wars battery. (38864-33) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Single Action Army Civilian Model-Overrun Revolver

Lot #118 (Sale Order 118 of 1062)

serial #134299, 45 Colt, 7 1/2” barrel with a very good bore which is mostly bright with sharp rifling but with scattered light oxidation and pinprick pitting. The barrel and ejector rod housing are a mix of plum brown and pewter patina showing remnants of some light oxidation and light pitting here and there which was lightly cleaned, most prominent at muzzle. The barrel is indeed “45 Colt”, commercially marked and is stamped with the serial number of the gun beneath the ejector rod housing, with inspectors “K” stamped to the rear of the housing stud. The cylinder is similar and shows evidence of being cleaned as well, with a number of light pits left behind and “R.A.C.” marking, and is appropriately numbered to the gun. The frame is more of a silvery case-hardened patina with three-line patent dates, no evidence of a U.S. marking and an “R.A.C.” stamping above the serial number, it too shows some remnants of very light pinprick pitting along its right flat. Both grip strap and triggerguard are properly numbered to the frame and each exhibits a capital letter “K” beneath the serial number, a Colt inspector’s “O” in the hammer recess. The arm wears a pair of checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips which rate very good showing light wear, the right grip with some light tool marks, they are un-numbered but their fit is excellent. The included factory letter shows shipment to Colts Agency in San Francisco in September 1890 as a blued gun with hard rubber grips. The gun seems to function well mechanically with excellent timing and lockup. A very respectable example of these rather rare government contract overrun civilian revolvers, which may indeed be in shootable condition after a detailed inspection by a competent ‘smith.

Colt Bisley Model Frontier Six Shooter Revolver

Lot #119 (Sale Order 119 of 1062)

serial #238047, 44-40 WCF, 4 3/4” barrel with a very good bore which shows strong rifling but with scattered light pitting nearly its full-length. Barrel and cylinder are primarily a silvery gunmetal gray patina with some areas of plum on the barrel. They show the scattered light handling marks one would expect and near overall light pinprick pitting also with a light ding at the muzzle which has not affected the rifling. The frame is a silvery smoky case-hardened patina with some trace colors in the pinched area below the barrel, the hammer having faded to a silvery patina as well. The grip straps are more of a plum brown with some generous trace blue at the root of the guard. The revolver wears a set of checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips which rate very good to perhaps very good plus and are un-numbered, their fit however is excellent. The cylinder is likely from a different gun as there is quite a bit of endshake and larger-than-normal gap, timing and lockup are slightly off, but all of the markings remain crisp and serial numbers are all matching.

A H Fox Sterlingworth Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #120 (Sale Order 120 of 1062)

serial #361921, 16 ga., 28” barrels choked a light full and a tight full with bright excellent bores, the right tube showing a very tiny ding halfway down its length on its underside. The barrels retain about 95% original blue, the loss due primarily to even fading, showing some light scratches and handling marks from the years. The frame retains some vibrant case colors, perhaps 75 to near 80% with toning to pewter on the carry point of the belly and high edges of the fences. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend both rate very good plus to near excellent with minor dings and handling marks from the years showing a bit of added finish but the wood is proud of the metal for the most part. There is the very beginning of a tiny crack on the left stock cheek, it seems solid and needn’t be addressed. The length of pull to the checkered hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/8” with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 7/8”. The gun locks up tightly with the top lever still well right of center. Really a very handsome 16 bore that can be taken afield while still retaining solid investment potential. (38902-3) {C&R}

The barrels feature nice wedges of open flowing scroll with background punch-dot accenting at their breeches, each with a single gold band inlay, the rib with dual ivory beads. The receiver is a lovely French gray color and shows master engraver Roger Ronnie’s lovely intertwining foliate scroll with extremely fine background punch-dot accenting. The belly of the frame shows a lovely depiction of Scolopax minor, the American Woodcock, or more colloquially the “timberdoodle”, inlaid in gold. The long tang triggerguard as well shows similar lovely engraving on the bow with light accents along its tang. The work is of course flawlessly executed and very beautiful. The arm has been stocked with a very nice grade of English walnut, straight grip English-style with a lovely and flawlessly executed wrap-around fleur-de-lis checkering pattern with accenting checkered panels at the cheeks. The splinter forend shows the same lovely fleur-de-lis checkering in near overall coverage with a nice ebony tip insert, both rate excellent with only a handful of very sparse handling marks or light scratches from careful use. The length of pull to the smooth London guns-style pad is 14 1/16” with drops of 1 9/16” and 2”; there is a German silver oval monogram plate along the toeline which remains un-engraved. The arm locks up as tightly as the day it left Philadelphia and functions well mechanically with robust ejectors and a non-automatic safety. Roger Ronnie is a master at his craft completing innumerable stunning engraving projects on firearms in addition to intricate miniatures, from firearms, to tiny 18th-century watchmaking machines, to a miniature Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engine. He was the recipient of the International Metalworking Craftsman of the Year Award from the Joe Martin Foundation in 2004. His work has no peer and this example is no exception. The arm comes in a simple canvas and the leather luggage case which rates about very good. (38906-3) {MODERN}

Rare Special Order L.C. Smith Pigeon Grade Sidelock Double Ejectorgun

Lot #122 (Sale Order 122 of 1062)

serial #203779, 12 ga., 32” barrels choked full and full with bright excellent Nitro steel barrels. The right tube shows a bit of longitudinal scoring for about 3” ahead of the forcing cones, likely from a vigorous cleaning, and evidence of a raised dent about 8” from the muzzle, very nicely done. The barrels retain about 97% later excellent quality rust blue and have light sprays of engraving at the muzzles and breeches. The Hunter Arms Co. marked barrel shows a nice pigeon vignette near the rib extension and is equipped with dual ivory beads. The lockplates and frame are primarily a mottled silvery smooth case-hardened patina with some generous traces of colors at the rear of the fences and lockplates, perhaps 30% remaining. The pigeon grade engraving is still crisp and very attractive, the long tang triggerguard showing strong remnants of original blue. The English walnut buttstock is factory straight-gripped and features a lovely left-side special order flared shadowline cheekpiece. The buttstock and forend rate very good plus to excellent showing only a few sparsely scattered light dings or handling marks here and there, the checkering remaining crisp and the finish appearing to be original. The gun locks up tightly with the top lever still very slightly right of center and has robust ejectors and a non-automatic safety, the arm currently does not reset for a second follow-up shot after the first barrel is fired, regardless of which barrel is selected to be fired first (manual selecting of the barrels show that both hammers and ejectors drop and function as-design), there is no doubt the Hunter One Trigger needs either a minor cleaning or adjustment. The arm is fitted with a Hawkins pad which may very well be from the period of use, as well as a 3/4” hard rubber spacer. The stock does not appear to have been cut and the length of pull is currently 14 3/16”, were this a two trigger gun, the length of pull would be 15 1/4”; drops are 1 1/2” and 2 1/2”. Factory records confirm pigeon grade ejectorgun and barrel length, the stock with cheekpiece is not mentioned, it is however correct and has been there since the day the gun was manufactured, shotgun shipped in April 1905. Overall a really super Pigeon Grade, very seldom-encountered, and very rare with its special order left-side cheekpiece. (38854-4) {C&R}

Fine Yasukuni Shrine Sword

Lot #125 (Sale Order 125 of 1062)

This is a lovely katana by a top Yasukuni Shrine sword smith, Yasutoku in beautiful polish measuring 27 1/2" to the hammered silver sleeve.

(Yasunori) which also reads as Yasutoku on one side and a softened date which can't be properly deciphered on the opposite side. The pierced brass tsuba has a pleasing patina with a cherry blossom in each corner, a Japanese character on either side of the tang cutout on one side and is centered between two Seppas and smaller dai Seppas each with Japanese characters on one side.

Brass ornaments are present on both sides of the handle and the bamboo peg appears original. The scabbard is olive drab lacquered steel with a wood liner and colored brass mounts matching the hilt. The lacquer shows some light rubs and tiny nicks from the years. According to Modern Japanese Swordsmiths, 1868 – 1945, by John Scott Slough, Yasunori is a High to Superior Grade Gendaito smith, and won the 1941 Exhibition Special Honor Noted Seat. The following is a quote of his background from the same book, page 188. “His real name is Kajiyama Tokutaro, and he was born in Hiroshima prefecture on February 16, 1881. He studied under his father 1st generation Kajiyama Ujihisa (aka Tomohira), and also became a student of Yokoyama Sukeyoshi. In July, 1933, he received an appointment as a master swordsmith for the Nihonto Tanren Kai and was given the Tosho name of Yasunori. He passed away on January 8, 1957.” A rare opportunity to obtain a katana crafted by a top Yasukuni swordsmith. (58697-1)

Miles later sold all 15 guns to prominent Akron, Ohio arms collector David S. Woloch, hench the moniker "Woloch Carbines". This carbine is marked on top tang "A.

These unique arms featured a brass flash pan with pivoting waterproof cover in addition to a conventional frizzen. Very seldom-encountered, this is a very fine example overall. (38909-41) {ANTIQUE}

John Jongmans of Hikutaia, New Zealand built high quality custom rifles and manufactured a line of high quality actions, and barrels. He was located in Hikutaia from 1979-1986, after which he moved to Queensland. Atop the action are a set of quality Warne-style steel bases and 1” rings awaiting only your choice of optics. Jongmans’ rifles featured a replaceable hardened steel breech ring, a trait later adopted by Accuracy International, and have a well-placed tang safety at the rear of the action, the bolt head being of three-lug design, the floorplate being hinged.

serial #6333, 6.5x54 MS, 22 1/2”, likely factory threaded, barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90-92% original blue, the loss is due to even fading with high edge and contact point wear, the barrel with a number of small flaked spots of loss. The muzzle of the barrel is neatly threaded for a sound moderator, the factory banded sporting front sight ramp was sweated in place appropriately rearward to allow for the threading, as well the nosecap appears to have been purposefully fitted to accommodate the ramp and O.D. of the barrel ahead of it, the blue clearly being original to the gun, this was done when the rifle was new. The races of the action remain bright and there is good straw temper on the cartridge release and on the bolt handle catch with some nice pale fire temper blue remaining on the bolt stop. There is a bit of light surface oxidation on the floorplate and on the bow of the guard, the triggerplate showing some nice color case-hardening.

The original open sights are intact, the rear being two leaf and the arm seems to function well mechanically. There is a very nice knurled thread protector cap included with the arm, thread dimensions appear to be .495” by about 20 tpi (1/2x20), although the 1.3mm tpi thread gauge fits more closely (12x1.3). In any event, a lovely rifle still in a very fine state of condition with the added bonus of being threaded for a sound moderator. (38873-593) {C&R}

The backstrap is stamped with a small "77."; perhaps the beginnings of a unit mark that was not completely stamped for some reason. Included with this pistol is one bright-bodied wood base magazine numbered "1176" in good overall condition showing some moderate flaking to gray patina along the body, some spots of light pitting and staining. The mechanism seems to function well mechanically and this example has no doubt seen very little use. Overall a very fine artillery Luger pistol rarely seen in such nice original condition.

Rare Dwm Model 1906 Republic Of Portugal Navy Luger Pistol

Lot #157 (Sale Order 157 of 1062)

serial #364, 9mm, 4" barrel with a bright very good plus to near excellent bore showing some light frosting. This is a very early Republic-marked Navy contract Luger that retains about 80% arsenal-quality blue with gripstraps mostly worn to gray-brown patina, moderate high edge wear, freckling, light oxidation staining and spots of light pitting scattered about. The bright polished "safety" area on the frame shows oxidation staining and has mostly toned to a brown patina and there is a small ding on the right edge of the rear sight. The small parts still retain strong remnants of straw color more prominent on the right side with overall toning to brown-gray patina along with a couple small dings on the right side magazine release. The toggle train pins and sear spring also retain strong fire blue. The toggle bears a crisp DWM stamp and the chamber is stamped with the "R. P. / (Fouled Anchor)" Republic of Portugal Navy stamp; the markings are quite nice with some very minor softening around some of the edges. The left side of the receiver is also stamped with the "MP" Marinha Portuguesa proof mark; this mark is a little soft and was evidently double-stamped or re-stamped at some point, probably just a poor initial strike. The gun correctly bears no additional proof marks and the extractor is marked "CARREGADA". The checkered walnut grips are un-numbered save for a small "6" on the right panel and remain in about good overall condition showing some moderate dings on the right panel, overall smoothing, a small chip behind the safety and handling marks. The left panel is a little loose and the grip screws show some light slot damage. The parts are stamped in the correct "hidden" fashion and all numbered parts are matching although the un-grooved firing pin is not numbered. Included with this pistol is one mismatched Imperial German bright-bodied wood base magazine that shows a small ding on the body and some old chips around the base. With a contract of only about 1000 guns and the extensive use and long service these pistols saw, they remain very hard to find in any sort of condition. This example is a very solid piece for the Luger collector. (138737-77) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

The sideplate fits a bit proud, barrel-to-frame fit is slightly loose but the gun does function mechanically, albeit somewhat loosely. The backstrap is engraved during the period of use “RH Sayre, Bethlehem PA”, Robert Heysham Sayre being Vice President and Chief Engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad as well as Vice President and General Manager of Bethlehem Iron Company, precursor to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Sayre’s son Francis Bowes Sayre married Woodrow Wilson’s daughter, the Sayre’s and Wilson’s both frequenting the Cornish N.H. area in Summer, “Harlakenden House” there being referred to as “The Summer White House”. It is purported by family history, that Wilson would carry this arm on his person when ajaunt locally, fishing the brooks around the upper valley. Included with the arm is a May 7, 1968-dated hand-written letter from one Harry H. Hart Sr. of Williamstown MA (an athletic training table Chef at Williamson College for 48 years, Francis B. Sayre graduating from there in 1909, seven years after Mr. Hart arrived at his post; in 1914 Sayre began work as Assistant to the President of Williams College, the two men doubtless knowing each other). The letter states that whilst working for Mrs. Francis Sayre, President Wilson’s daughter, she presented the revolver to him, the arm is mentioned in the letter by serial number as-is the inscription. It further states: “Mrs. Sayre told me that President Wilson carried this gun with him on fishing trips while visiting his daughter and son-in-law”, he then states “I testify that all of the above is true and correct” and has signed and dated it. The arm comes in what is likely a factory mahogany presentation case which rates very good, its underside penciled: “Eldridge J. Savage, Brockton Mass.”, and a copy of the book Glad Adventure by Francis B. Sayre, © 1957 F. B. Sayre, regaling his life and times and marriage to Jessie (Wilson) Sayre and second wife, Elizabeth, he actually becoming High Commissioner of the Philippines under Roosevelt.

Colt Single Action Army Bisley Model Revolver

Lot #199 (Sale Order 199 of 1062)

serial #316840, 41 Colt, 4 3/4” barrel with a mostly bright, very good plus bore which shows strong rifling but with scattered oxidation and scattered pitting which is mostly light. The metal surfaces are an overall warm plum patina showing some trace original blue in the protected areas, especially the cylinder flutes, with the expected light handling marks or dings from the years. The frame does show some silvery color case-hardening with scant trace colors in the protected areas. Three of the screws appear to be modern replacements and there are some light tool marks left and right on each side of the frame adjacent to one of the screw holes, the front sight also showing an impact mark that was dressed. The checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips rate good and are worn nearly smooth and are scratch-numbered to a different gun, however their fit is very good. The gun times well and locks up somewhat loosely and is a very good example of a salty Bisley which left Hartford in 1911, the year before they discontinued the Bisley model. (38737-68) {C&R}

Smith & Wesson 357 Registered Magnum Double Action Revolver

Lot #207 (Sale Order 207 of 1062)

serial #50034 (Reg No. 1767), .357 Magnum, 6 1/2” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This interesting revolver has been overall engraved by a craftsman in the fledgling stages of their trade. There remains perhaps 20% original blue, the engraving motif showing wide open scroll with background striations accenting the work. The left frame flat shows a leaping rabbit, a fox and birds in flight while the right frame flat shows a perched bird eating some manner of berries. The trigger shows some remnants of color case-hardening and has toned primarily to a silver, while the hammer shows some generous original color case-hardening especially on its spine. The arm is sighted with a Call front bead and square notch black blade rear sight. The smooth ivory duty-style grips rate about excellent with the right grip showing a small crack at the sharp edge of the frame, they are un-numbered and their fit is slightly less-than-perfect. The gun seems to time well but lockup is slightly loose and “William R Nagel” has engraved his name very deeply on the underside of the barrel ahead of the ejector rod housing, whether this is the craftsman who did the work or merely the owner who commissioned it is lost to the years. A respectable Registered Magnum overall that would likely still perform well at the range or afield or as an interesting addition to your Smith & Wesson battery. (38873-113) {MODERN}

Remington Model 1890 Single Action Army Revolver

The gun wears a pair of checkered hard rubber Remington Arms Company logo grips which rate about very good, the right grip showing a bit more wear than the left, they are un-numbered but fit extremely well. The arm retains its factory lanyard loop and seems to function very well mechanically. A very nice example piece overall that appeared to be bare metal at first glance, it very much appears to be overall silver plate upon close inspection. (38864-35) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Single Action Army Second-Generation Revolver

Lot #209 (Sale Order 209 of 1062)

serial #31753SA, .357 Magnum, 7 1/2” barrel with a bright excellent, likely unfired, bore. The metal surfaces on this nice blued and color case-hardened revolver retain about 99% original factory finishes, the internals and indeed most of the parts showing a degree of hardened oil which has made the mechanism slightly sluggish but validates that the arm has likely not been fired since leaving Colt sometime in 1960. The bright polished sides of the hammer remain brilliant with only some very light wear marks. The checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt medallion grips rate excellent and are scratch-numbered to the gun on their interior. If you were hoping for an as-new Single Action Army cavalry-length gun in .357 Magnum, look no further. (38737-227) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

The metal surfaces of this 1904-made revolver retain perhaps 40% original blue along the barrel and a few patches of bright blue still remaining on the backstrap and triggerguard, the balance mostly toned to a smooth gunmetal gray patina with scattered small dings, light oxidation staining and handling marks. The frame is mostly a nice silvery gray case-hardened patina with some strong original color present in a few of the more protected areas. The base pin shows some tool marks around the head, most of the screw heads show some light slot damage but still retain strong fire blue, all of the markings are clear and the backstrap is marked "Am. Exp. Co.". The black checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips are un-numbered and remain in good overall condition with 1/2" thin chip at the toe of the right panel, significant smoothing overall and light handling marks. The triggerguard and backstrap are matching the frame and the cylinder is un-numbered. The mechanism still functions well in single and double action with solid timing and lockup a little loose. Still a very strong example with desirable markings that has seen honest use over the years. (138863-29) {C&R}

The trigger and screw heads retain some faint remnants of fire blue while the hammer retains some strong case-hardened colors. The smooth walnut grips remain in near excellent condition retaining a healthy amount of original varnish with minor flaking, small dings and handling marks. Both panels are pencil-numbered to the gun as well as stamp-numbered with the conversion assembly number. All of the numbered parts are matching by either serial or assembly number and the mechanism functions very well with solid timing and lockup. Really a rather attractive factory cartridge converted revolver. (138909-64) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #212 (Sale Order 212 of 1062)

The metal surfaces of this revolver are mostly a medium gray patina with spots of darker gray patina and old pitting scattered about, scratches, small dings and a little patch of original blue on the frame above the breech. Most of the screw heads show some light slot damage and the barrel markings are still very clear. The black checkered hard rubber grips are both numbered to different guns, the right 436 and the left 614, but still fit the frame quite well and remain in very good plus condition showing some minor smoothing, discoloration, a couple tiny old chips and dings. The cylinder is un-numbered and the barrel is numbered 187, possibly a factory error or period replacement barrel as it has certainly been with this frame for a long time. The original silver cone front sight is intact and the mechanism functions quite well with good timing and lockup a little loose. Still a very solid honest example of these low-production Remington pocket revolvers. (138909-52) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #213 (Sale Order 213 of 1062)

serial #17869, 38 RF, 4 1/2" octagon barrel with an oxidized bore still showing strong rifling throughout. This is a rather nice factory conversion revolver retaining about 85% factory nickel finish showing some areas flaking to gray patina throughout, some light pitting around the breech and cylinder face, moderate scratches and tool marks on either side of the wedge. All of the markings are clear and the cylinder retains a wonderful stagecoach scene with some of the edges lightly obscured by flaking and pinprick pitting. The trigger and firing pin show a healthy amount of bold fire blue while the hammer is toning to a silvery gray patina but still retains some lovely case-hardened colors on the sides. The smooth one piece walnut grip is ink-numbered to the gun and remains in excellent condition retaining nearly all of its factory varnish and showing just a little light flaking at the high edges, some small dings and handling marks. The wedge is un-numbered, the cylinder has been re-numbered to match and the remaining serialized parts are all matching. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits a little play but the mechanism functions very well with excellent timing and lockup. A significant amount of interesting varieties exist with these cartridge converted revolvers and this example remains in very fine condition. (138909-50) {ANTIQUE}

Remington Model 1863 Zouave Percussion Contract Rifle

Lot #214 (Sale Order 214 of 1062)

serial #104397, .44 cal, 8" barrel with a very good bore showing some light pitting, frosting and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1863-made revolver have been lightly cleaned some time ago and are now mostly a dull gunmetal gray patina showing some tool marks around the wedge, scattered small dings, freckling and some very fine pinprick pitting here and there. The brass triggerguard is a medium goldenrod patina showing just a few small dings, handling marks and is stamped with a deeply-struck "US" under the serial number. Only "-ADDRESS COL." remains visible on the barrel, there is no cylinder scene visible and most of the screw heads show some light slot damage. The one-piece smooth walnut grip is un-numbered and is a hair shy of the frame in a few areas but remains in very good condition showing a few small dings, scratches, handling marks and a few flakes of varnish. There are no numbers visible on the wedge, cylinder or backstrap but the triggerguard and barrel are matching the frame. The hammer functions well but the mechanism will require some attention as the hand spring is broken, although when pointed down timing and lockup are good. There is no evidence of any inspector’s markings or cartouches ever having been present.Still a very solid example for the Colt collector. (138909-47) {ANTIQUE}

The checkered walnut grips are stamp-numbered to the gun along with visible "(Eagle) / 6" proofs and remain in about good overall condition having darkened significantly from the years and showing moderate overall smoothing, areas of compressed points and small dings. The breechblock has a number of small chips, one on the bottom edge and one on either side of the extractor and the ejector is missing. Most of the markings are still quite visible despite the metal preparation, all of the serialized parts including the grooved firing pin are matching and are appropriately stamped with Simson's "(Eagle) / 6" proof mark throughout. One reproduction magazine is included and the mechanism still seems to function well mechanically. A solid "example" piece of these Weimar-produced Luger pistols. (138873-502) {C&R}

The trigger, back of the hammer and some of the screw heads still show some strong fire blue. This revolver likely went through arsenal refurbishment as the metal surfaces show evidence of light buffing and the barrel address and "U.S." on the right side frame are rather soft. The black checkered hard rubber grips are un-numbered but fit the frame quite well and remain in near excellent condition showing just a few small dings and handling marks. The inspector marks are all still very clear with "R.A.C" on the left side frame, triggerguard and rear of cylinder and "J.T.T." on right side frame. The loading gate is matching the frame but the cylinder is numbered "6544". Despite the mismatched cylinder the mechanism functions very well in single and double action with excellent timing and lockup showing just a hint of play. A solid example of these distinctive-looking martial revolvers. (138737-481) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

These third models were the first to include a wooden forend but retained the single-hinged breechblock. The barrel and breechblock are matching the frame, the sling ring, bar and swivel on the toe line are intact and the lock functions crisply at half and full cock. This carbine is listed in Springfield Research Service's records as having been issued in February 1864 to Company L of the 11th New York Volunteer Cavalry. This regiment was originally mustered in the defense of Washington, D.C., later saw some action in Virginia and toured throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. An honest example of a hard-to-find third model Burnside made only in 1862 that has no doubt seen its fair share of faithful service. (138846-1) {ANTIQUE}

serial #209736, 32 S&W Long, 6" barrel with a very good to excellent bore showing very light scattered oxidation stains.

Early Colt Camp Perry Model Single Shot Target Pistol

Lot #245 (Sale Order 245 of 1062)

serial #128, 22 LR, 10" barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely low serial number pistol retains strong condition. The metal surfaces of this first-year production pistol (1926) retain about 95% original blue finish with scattered light high edge wear, slightly thinning finish on the front strap and knuckle area, light handling marks and a few small patches of pitting scattered about the frame. The diamond checkered walnut factory grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions rate excellent and are numbered to the gun. The gun has the correct elevation adjustable Patridge front sight and windage adjustable rear. According to R.L. Wilson in The Book of Colt Firearms production serial numbers started at #101 making this a very early gun and probably accounts for the lack of "Camp Perry Model" on the breech block and the one-line barrel address with a patent date below it. The serial numbers are located on the left grip frame under the grips, on the bottom of the breech block and on the crane but not below the extractor. The breechblock-to-frame fit remains tight and it is mechanically functional. The gun appears to have seen light but honest use over the years and remains a solid investment.

The revolver lock-up is tight and the mechanism functions flawlessly. This is a very fine prewar K-22 overall and would make a nice addition to a collection of early hand ejector Smith revolvers.

Lot #247 (Sale Order 247 of 1062)

serial #291896, 270 Win, 24” barrel with a bright excellent bore.

Lot #250 (Sale Order 250 of 1062)

The metal surfaces retain about 90 to perhaps 92% later excellent quality rust blue, the loss due to even fading, high edge and contact point wear.

It features the familiar rounded left-side cheekpiece and steel trapdoor buttplate with a very nice carved-in-relief ivory pistolgrip cap with a depiction of a sabertooth tiger--this likely meaning it is from mammoth or older ivory. The stock shows an extremely well-done repair to a moderate chip at the toe, the new piece matching the grain structure and color very well. In addition to the original open sights with two leaf rear, the rifle has been fitted during the period of use with dual claw scope mounts. The mounts are see-through and support a Lyman Alaskan telescopic sight with fine crosshair reticle and bright excellent optics. The scope itself rates very good with fading original blue and a bit of very light surface oxidation, the rings have toned to a plum brown patina. The bolt is numbered to a different gun, as-is the buttplate, these are non-issues for a sporting arm destined to be used and hunted. As with any arm with a replaced bolt, a competent gunsmith should be consulted to check the headspace of this handy rifle. (38873-702) {C&R}

The smooth walnut grips rate about good as lightly refinished, each showing repairs from the period of use, and each having sanded-over chips at the leading lower edges; there is no discernible number on their interior. The lanyard loop is no longer present and a couple of the screw slots show some light damage however the arm seems to time and lockup properly. The chambers appear to be straight-bored and un-stepped suggesting it is a 44 Remington and not 44-40 WCF. A very good example piece overall for the budding Remington or Western arms collector, the shortening was neatly done although likely not by a professional gunsmith. (38864-21) {ANTIQUE}

U.S. Model 1911 Semi-Auto Pistol by Colt

Lot #288 (Sale Order 288 of 1062)

serial #350236, 45 ACP, 5" WWII-era High Standard barrel with an excellent bore. This mid-1918 made pistol is mostly gray with brown overtones showing original blue in the protected areas of the frame and on the controls with scattered light pinprick pitting, scratches and other handling or assembly marks. The double diamond checkered walnut factory grips rate about good with overall light compression of the diamond points but have moderate to heavy wear around the heel and butt sections in addition to light handling marks. Except for the barrel, all parts appear correct for the period of manufacture and the "[eagle] / S8" inspection mark on the frame remains crisp as do the other factory markings. The pistol includes a single WWII era General Shaver Division-made magazine and some information from a local Historical Society. Past research by the Canaan Historical Society, Canaan N.H., indicates this particular pistol was owned or issued to a second lieutenant of the U.S. Army 145th Infantry Regiment. He sailed to France on June 22, 1918 on the U.S.S. Pocahontas (SP-3044) from Newport News, Virginia, and was honorably discharged on March 19, 1919. The 145th was part of the 37th "Buckeye" Division that deployed in June 1918 and participated in the Meuse-Argonne and Ypres-Lys offensives. Unfortunately, the lieutenant's name was lost over time and cannot be provided. An interesting aside is the U.S.S. Pocahontas started life as the German ocean liner the S.S. Prinzess Irene which was docked in New York at the start of the war. It was interned at the start of hostilities, later seized and converted to a troop transport. Colt .45 Service Pistols by Charles Claussen indicates 5000 pistols in this serial number range were delivered to the Ordnance Depot, Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, New York on June 26, 1918. It is probable the pistol caught up with the Lieutenant in France or the actual date they sailed was later than indicated. The pistol has seen some honest wear and the potential for some interesting provenance with more research. (8886-1) {C&R}

Engraved Remington-Rider Magazine Pistol

Lot #294 (Sale Order 294 of 1062)

32 RF Extra Short, 3" octagon barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some light oxidation near the breech. This is a wonderful Remington-Rider pistol featuring lovely factory scrollwork and punch-dot shading on the either side of the frame, geometric patterns along the top of the frame and barrel and ivory grips. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original nickel finish showing some flaking on the magazine tube end cap, a couple tiny flakes to gray scattered about, light scratches and handling marks. The un-numbered smooth antique ivory grips remain in very good plus condition showing a nice rich patina with attractive age striations throughout and showing some light handling marks, scratches and a very professionally repaired 1 3/8" chip at the top edge of the right panel. The material used for the repair appears to be period dark brown celluloid interesting in that this material was used by Remington around this time period as grip material for some of their other products. The mechanism on this example will require some minor mechanically attention as the hammer cocks and the breechblock reciprocates appropriately but the cartridge lifter does not come up. It appears there is a small tab slightly out of shape on the lifter that is interfering with the breechblock so this may prove to be an easy fix for a competent gunsmith. Overall a near excellent and very attractive example of these mechanically fascinating little pistols. (138931-151) {ANTIQUE}

A very fine example overall for the antique arms collector. (138931-155) {ANTIQUE}

The original open sights are intact, the hood showing some minor scratches and the gun seems to function well mechanically. A very lovely custom model 64 overall, the engraving strangely unsigned.

serial #90358, .410 bore, 26” plain barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore.

The “Bird Better-Bilt” box itself rates about excellent with a very nice picture label, onion skin wrapping on the interior, and one of the paper tape fastening wraps still intact on its backside. The end label was for a 25 inch gun, the “5” changed to a “6” with ink pen at some point and was serial numbered to a different gun, this gun’s serial number now in pen in the appropriate box on the label, the ghost of the original serial number visible beneath. Really a super Model 42 overall that appears to have seen very little, very careful use. (38854-8) {C&R}

U.S. Model 1814 Flintlock Rifle by Deringer

Lot #310 (Sale Order 310 of 1062)

.54 cal, 33 1/4” part octagon part round barrel with an oxidized bore.

There are overall remnants of oxidation staining and light pinprick pitting yet the Deringer marking atop the barrel flat and U.S. markings and proofs on the left diagonal flat all remain crisp. There is a simple brass blade front sight in place with semi-buckhorn rear and the lockplate markings are strong as well. The gun appears to be in original flint in every respect and the lock seems to function properly. The stock rates about very good with much original varnish, the expected overall light dings and handling marks that come from the years, faint left stock flat cartouches and some flaking and light loss at left rear of butt due either to exposure to the elements or water or perhaps light scorching. The swivels are intact as is what is likely the original funnel-shaped ramrod. A very good example overall from this sought-after contractor. (38909-37) {ANTIQUE}

The bolt body remains mostly bright and is numbered to the gun, the handle has toned primarily to pewter. The Winchester factory marksman style stock rates very good plus with minor dings and handling marks here and there and a couple of spots where the finish has softened, likely due to some solvent. The rifle appears to have been neatly, professionally glass bedded and the factory holes all support steel target blocks or steel sight bases. The trigger has been tuned for a crisp clean let off. The rifle comes in a 50” x 8 1/2” x 5” metal carry case with Redfield International Match target sights and a Unertl 12X 2.0 Inch Target telescopic sight. The scope rates very good with the aluminum portions toning to a gunmetal finish, but retaining good original blue on the tube, with a crosshair dot reticle and bright optics. The interior holds the rifle fast and has mounts for the sights and the scope and the entire case can be carried by the 1 1/2” leather strap affixed to it. An excellent vintage targeter with nice optics that should be all ready for the range. (38877-29) {C&R}

Lot #384 (Sale Order 384 of 1062)

serial #193731, 25-35 WCF, 26" round barrel with full magazine and an excellent bore. This rifle features a later barrel that is likely post-war with "MODEL 94 - 25-35 WIN. -" as part of the address. The barrel and action both show the same Winchester Proof so this barrel left the factory either on this rifle or another as there is no mail order proof present. The barrel wears almost all of its original finish while the balance of the metal surfaces show 98% of a nice quality blued finish. This could have been returned to the factory for re-barreling and refinishing. The plain walnut stock and forend rate very good plus with a little added light finish but still with raised grain evident. Rifle is sighted with open sporting sights mounted in factory dovetails. This would probably make someone a nice shooter. (18865-28) {C&R}

Custom German P.08 Luger Pistol by Dwm

Lot #400 (Sale Order 400 of 1062)

serial #6555b, 9mm, 4 7/8" custom barrel with an about good bore showing some moderate oxidation but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this blank chamber pistol retain about 90% arsenal-quality reapplied blue showing some high edge wear, scratches, scattered moderate freckling and some spots of light pitting most noticeable on the left side of the barrel. The small parts retain good straw color, quite bold in some areas on the right side along with toning to gray-brown patina and some fine pinprick pitting. The toggle train pins and sear spring retain lovely fire blue and the long sear also shows some remnants of fire blue. The un-numbered checkered walnut grips remain in very good plus condition showing some areas of lightly compressed points, small dings and handling marks. This is an interesting pistol no doubt re-worked for commercial sale after the First World War, although when the specific custom work was done is hard to say but it is certainly very professionally executed. The barrel may be shortened from an artillery barrel and the serial number is very faint but actually does appear to be matching the frame. The front sight is a taller blade with a visible crown proof on its right side dovetail and the rear has been cut into a square notch. The suffix on the frame is very faint but definitely a military-style cursive "b" although the other parts are numbered in the "hidden" fashion. All of the visibly numbered parts are matching; the rear toggle piece and un-grooved firing pin are un-numbered. One mismatched bright-bodied wood base magazine showing some light flaking and small chips on the base is included. The mechanism seems to function well mechanically making for an interesting example that may be a good shooter. (138737-6) {MODERN} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

The barrel and cylinder of this revolver are mostly a smooth gray patina showing a few moderate dings along the cylinder, a few small areas of light pinprick pitting, light oxidation staining and a couple flakes of original blue remaining on the left side barrel and underneath the loading lever.

British Contract Smith & Wesson Model 1905 Hand Ejector Revolver

Lot #404 (Sale Order 404 of 1062)

serial #712292, 38-200 (38 S&W), 6" barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing perhaps a hint of light frosting. This is a wonderful early British military contract revolver retaining about 97-98% original blue showing some light high edge wear, scattered minor freckling, a couple scratches and minor oxidation staining on the gripstraps. There is a light turn ring on the cylinder and the screw heads show some very minor slot damage. The service hammer, trigger and lanyard ring retain strong case-hardened colors toning to a pleasing light gray patina along with some minor errant freckling and operational wear. The diamond checkered walnut factory grips with silver S&W medallions remain in very good plus condition showing some small areas of compressed points, light dings and handling marks. The right panel is lightly inscribed on the base "F/Lt. L. C. D. HEAL" although unfortunately the right panel is stamp-numbered to a different gun (702884) so we cannot be sure whether it was added before or after the grip was replaced. A quick preliminary research does not reveal any First Lieutenant with these initials but some more in-depth research may prove fruitful. All of the remaining numbered parts are matching, the revolver is stamped with British proofs and the mechanism functions very well with excellent timing and lockup. Included is a Smith & Wesson factory letter that indicates the revolver was shipped January 31, 1941 to the British Purchasing Commission Office in New York City although strangely the letter states it was shipped with a 5" barrel. Nevertheless this revolver remains an excellent example supplied very early in the war to the British Empire. (138893-16) {C&R}

The barrel, cylinder and crane are matching the frame and the parts bear the appropriate "K.S.M." inspection stamp. The lanyard ring is intact and the mechanism functions very well with excellent timing and lockup. A fine example of a very desirable U.S. martial revolver. (138737-136) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C.

The rifle is sighted with a tang-mounted Lyman peep sight, more modern flip-up rear notch and a Lyman ivory bead front. The original rear sight and sight level are included separately.

The splinter forend is similar showing a bit more wear with more wear to the checkering.

The length of pull to the original grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14 1/4” with drops of 1 7/8” and 3 1/4”. The buttstock’s fit is slightly “off” with wood-to-frame fit showing gaps at the top left and right, it appears to have “slid-up” showing small flakes at the lower junction with the frame left and right, it certainly could easily be rectified by a good wood man. The solder has come un-fastened from the muzzles as well, but the gun certainly was never shortened, both barrels indeed still touching, another easy fix for any ‘smith worth his salt. A rather nice long-barrel small bore Fox overall that swings very nicely that, with a little attention, could be back to afield this October. (38856-10) {C&R}

The rifle is sighted with a Lyman tang-mounted peep sight, Lyman No. 6 folding leaf sight and Marble's No. 3 white bead front. This rifle has seen some honest use but retains a plethora of interesting features for the Marlin collector. (138315-49LTS246) {C&R} [Lewis T. Steadman Collection]

The metal surfaces of this pistol are mostly a light gray and gunmetal patina showing some small dings and spots of light pitting throughout.

Lot #719 (Sale Order 719 of 1062)

serial #92, 380 ACP, 4 1/2" Kragujevac Arsenal marked replacement barrel with an excellent bore. According to FN Browning Pistols by Anthony Vanderlinden the Yugoslavian Navy placed a small (unknow quantity) order of 1922 Browning's utilizing their own serial number range in the early 1930s. Judging from the size of the Yugoslavian Navy at the time of the order it was probably quite small making this model scarce compared to the Army contract. The metal surfaces retain about 80% original blue with the frontstrap, barrel lug and top of slide toned to brown, in addition to high edge wear, scattered pitting, oxidation stains and handling marks. The black dyed checkered pressed horn factory grips with embossed FN logo rate about good with moderate diamond point wear, handling marks, a few light dings and wearing finish. The barrel over the chamber has Yugoslavian Cyrillic script for Kragujevac Arsenal and the top front of the slide has the Yugoslavian crest with "MORNARICA / KRALJEVINE / S.H.S. / Br. 92" Navy markings below it in Latin alphabet. The Serbs expanded the use of the Latin alphabet in an effort to help unite the country resulting in mixed use of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The slide is correctly numbered to the gun (the "Br. 92" on the slide) as is the replacement barrel. This seldom seen variation includes a single magazine. A must-have for every serious military collector. (86520-3842) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

The markings are a little obscured but still mostly visible, the screw heads show some light slot damage and the barrel latch retains a few flakes of original bright blue.

New England Dual-Purpose Flintlock Militia Musket-Fowler

Lot #729 (Sale Order 729 of 1062)

.70 cal, 43 1/2” barrel with an oxidized, and strangely partly rifled, bore. This is an interesting musket and features a TP Moore lock, but is otherwise completely unmarked. The barrel is an overall dark gray and brown patina showing remnants of an old lightly flaking black paint and is equipped with a scant silver blade front sight and simple flat-top rear. The barrel is very heavy compared with other militia musket-fowlers of the era and features a bottom-mounted stud for bayonet. The lockplate is rather oddly shaped and likely was originally designed to be a flintlock plate, but clearly was adapted on the cusp of the percussion period as it shows no evidence of having ever actually having been flint. It shows light borderline and open scroll engraving with the makers name beneath the nipple barrel and gamebirds at the rear. There is a brass nosecap and three German silver escutcheons through which the barrel wedges pass. There are three ramrod thimbles and a lightly sculpted tailpipe, the brass triggerguard with acorn front finial and there is a spartan brass buttplate. The lockplate screw escutcheons are food chopper and teardrop style and there is a German silver starburst inlay atop the wrist. The stock is likely of cherry showing coarse checkering and rating about very good overall. The arm is equipped with a single set trigger and the lock is mechanically functional (the “set” feature does not trip the lock) and what is likely the original ramrod is included. An interesting, yet unmarked, late militia musket-fowler. (38909-38) {ANTIQUE}

Interesting Grainger Patent Double Rolling Block Combination Gun

Lot #730 (Sale Order 730 of 1062)

serial #5383, about 16 ga. by 45 CF, 28” barrels with fair-good bores. The metal surfaces on this interesting double barrel rolling block are primarily a plum brown and pewter gray patina with scattered light oxidation staining and scattered light pitting, a few areas which may be more moderate. The rib is marked within field “J Grainger & Sons Patentees Grahamstown”, and has a scant simple blade front sight with five leaf rear, one standing, four folding with one being a long-range ladder sight; the entire sight assembly is later-added but during the period of use. The iron frame is rather wide and accommodates dual rolling blocks and hammers, each block showing British proofs. The straight grip checkered walnut buttstock rates very good as professionally refinished quite some time ago, showing minor drying cracks in the figured wood and a 2” neatly patched repair nearer the heel. The forend is similar and both have coarse, neatly chased checkering. J Grainger & Sons of South Africa is highly likely the retailer of the arm, it very closely following the pattern of similar Belgian-made arms from Nagant of Liege, but exhibits British proofs throughout. The shotgun barrel is marked “14” and may indeed be a 14 bore, 12 ga. does not fit and 16 is very loose. An interesting piece of arms curiosa for the collector of such items. (38839-7) {C&R}

British Pattern 1853 Artillery Carbine

Lot #731 (Sale Order 731 of 1062)

.577 cal, 23” barrel with an about very good three groove bore which shows some light oxidation. The barrel is a dull brown and faded gray original blue patina with light oxidation and scattered handling marks. It features a later-fitted front sight and there is no provision for a bayonet lug on its right side. The front band appears to be a Belgian replacement while the rear shows some good original blue. The “Barnett London”-marked lock is primarily a pewter patina, the hammer is an Enfield replacement and shows light engraving typical on Tower examples. The brass hardware is a dull goldenrod patina. The stock rates perhaps good to near very good showing remnants of a light cleaning with inspectors markings to the rear of the triggerguard tang. There are the overall minor dings and handling marks one would expect with a chip missing from the left of the tang and a 5” crack rearward from the tang through the wrist. The swivels are no longer present however an appropriate three leaf rear sight is, and an antique ramrod is present, it is somewhat deformed and is likely Nepalese in origin. The lock seems to function well mechanically, the barrel is 1” shorter than it should be, this may be a rifle, arsenal cut-down to artillery carbine specifications. (38888-8) {ANTIQUE}

The barrel channel appears to have been neatly free floated and there are steel two piece Redfield bases and 1” Leupold rings included. The length of pull to the basketweave 1/2” Pachmayr rifle pad is 13 1/2”. The quality of the workmanship is really very good and the rifle is attractive overall awaiting only your choice of quality optics. (38920-2) {MODERN}

The No. 2 frame is quite nice retaining perhaps 70% original color case-hardening, some areas flaking to brown with toning to a silvery pewter patina at the carry point of the frame. The checkered walnut pistolgrip stock rates very good plus to perhaps near excellent with nearly all its original varnish showing only light dings and handling marks sparsely scattered overall; the splinter forend is similar. Length of pull to the grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14” with drops of 1 5/8” and 2 7/8”. The gun locks up tight with the top lever still right of center, the safety is automatic. Overall a very good heavy 2-frame for ducks over dekes or plains pheasant. (38880-1) {C&R}

The rifle retains its standard front sight with a stamped sheet metal hood and Lyman rear receiver sight. One original seven round magazine is included.

The upper tang is nicely engraved and has wide curved cap deflecting flourishes. The bar under locks show nice loose open flowing scroll and are a dull gray and pewter patina, as are the graceful hammers, each lockplate marked “E. Allen & Co. Makers”, the locks timed and mechanically functional. The ramrod tailpipe shows some light engraving as does the extension of the triggerplate with the bow of the guard lightly engraved but also with a moderate scratch. The checkered straight grip English walnut stock rates very good with much original varnish in the area of the butt, the checkering flat-topped with the expected light dings and handling marks that come from the years. What is likely the original ramrod is included with screw-off wad-pull end. A very respectable shotgun from this venerable American manufacturer, it certainly would be worth having the barrels re-struck to bring out the beauty of their original damascus.

Winchester Model 12 Slide Action Shotgun

Lot #741 (Sale Order 741 of 1062)

serial #1292622, 20 ga., 28" plain barrel choked modified with an excellent bore.

The smooth walnut pistolgrip buttstock rates very good to excellent with just a few light handling marks but a 1 1/2" section of the toe appears to have been very lightly sanded and touched up probably to fix a scuff. The wood remains proud of the buttplate and the refinish was well done but is lighter. The grooved walnut forend rates about excellent with a few light handling marks. The checkered hard rubber buttplate with Winchester logo rates excellent. The barrel assembly is numbered to the gun and it is still fully functional.

This revolver is equipped with the seldom seen factory humpback hammer and a service trigger both showing robust case-hardened colors, light operational wear and slight silvering on the trigger from handling. The diamond checkered walnut factory grips with silver S&W medallions rate about very good with slight handling wear but a roughly 1/2" long shallow chip is missing from the toe of the right panel. The grips are numbered to another gun but all other appropriate parts are correctly serial numbered to the frame. The backstrap is marked "B.P.D. 44 M" and stands for Boston Police Department followed by their inventory number. Research will show this gun was one of twenty-five guns shipped to Boston P.D. on May 5, 1940. They were shipped as described above including the humpback hammers and were marked B.P.D. on the backstrap and numbered 40M through 64M. This gun shows some honest use but functions perfectly and is a great find for the police firearms collector. Police issued guns are not often seen with humpback hammers.

The gun is German proofed with a proof date of May, 1980, plus it was numbered "16" on the barrel along with the caliber marking.

Early Remington Rolling Block Rifle

Lot #756 (Sale Order 756 of 1062)

.58 CF, 39" barrel with a very good plus bore that shows a patch of moderate pitting 1/3 of the way down from muzzle. The metal surfaces of this rifle are an overall dull gray patina with old moderate pitting throughout. The walnut stock rates very good with an added varnish, scattered dings and handling marks.

The metal surfaces of this pistol retain about 95% original blue with some light high edge wear, minor freckling scattered about, a few small dings and handling marks. The safety lever is a nice plum color with a small spot of light oxidation staining. The checkered dark brown Bakelite grips remain in excellent condition showing just a couple tiny dings and handling marks. This pistol includes two magazines both numbered to the gun in excellent condition. Designated the "P1001" by the East Germans, these guns were exported for commercial sale through Hammerli in Switzerland. This example is appropriately marked "HAMMERLI / TIENGEN" on the right side frame along with an American "G.P. TRADING" import mark on the left side frame and "A.B. / 70" on the left side rear of frame. Unfortunately the left side of the slide was further marked by the importer with an "ac / ZELLA-MEHLIS GERMANY" around the original slide markings. The frame and slide are also East German proof-marked with "(Eagle) / (Crown) / N". The pistol seems to function well mechanically and is a fine example of these interesting PP variants.

The black checkered hard rubber grips are scratch-numbered to the gun and remain in fair condition showing significant overall smoothing, a 1" crack at the left side escutcheon, some small scattered chips and dings. The front sight has been modified with an extra notch cut into it, the crane is numbered to the frame and the lanyard loop is present. Timing is just a little off in single action but locks up well upon trigger pull and timing and lockup are strong in double action. This salty old Colt will probably still make for a fine shooter.

The metal surfaces of this pistol retain about 80% original blue with most of the loss due to areas thinning or worn to silvery gray patina along the frame, scattered scratches, some light pinprick pitting along the high edges of the slide and handling marks.

Lot #825 (Sale Order 825 of 1062)

serial #971, .31 cal, 4" octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing a bulge toward the breech.

The barrel address is still very clearly visible. The black checkered hard rubber grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in very good plus condition showing some tiny chips at the heel of the right panel and some of the high edges, small dings and handling marks. The hand shield and silver cone front sight are both intact and the barrel is matching the frame although this revolver will require some mechanical attention as the hand itself has broken off, the hammer does not hold at full or half cock and the loading lever has broken off from the plunger. Overall a salty but good "example" piece. (138737-19) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

Sharps Model 2A Pepperbox Deringer

Lot #826 (Sale Order 826 of 1062)

serial #251, 30 RF, 3" four-barrel cluster with about good bores showing some spots of moderate oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this pepperbox has mostly toned to medium gray patina with scattered pinprick pitting and some spots of darker freckling. The brass frame retains about 80-85% silver finish taking on a mild tarnish with the remainder worn to a pleasing ocher patina along with some light scratches and handling marks. The un-numbered black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very good condition showing some moderate insect damage at the toe of the right panel, light handling marks and the left panel is probably an older original replacement as it does not fit the frame well. The barrel cluster and hammer nose are numbered to the frame and the mechanism functions well for the most part although the nose does not rotate every now and then.

Early Smith & Wesson First Model "Baby Russian" Revolver

Lot #827 (Sale Order 827 of 1062)

serial #386, 38 S&W, 3 1/4" ribbed round barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some spots of light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of the frame, cylinder and hammer retain about 95% excellent-quality older reapplied nickel finish showing some small areas flaking to gray-brown patina here and there, light scratches, handling marks and some evidence of very fine pinprick pitting underneath the finish on the hammer. The barrel retains about 85% older professionally reapplied bright blue providing an attractive contrast to the frame and shows some light oxidation staining scattered about, high edge wear, freckling and areas starting to thin to gray-brown patina. There are some small areas noted on the barrel showing remnants of cleaned light pinprick pitting underneath the blue but they are rather difficult to discern and the barrel markings are still quite crisp. Given the reacquired wear the refinishing was probably done quite some time ago and certainly in a very professional manner. The revolver wears a set of scarce smooth walnut grips and the right panel is appropriately stamp-numbered to the gun; they remain in very good plus condition showing mostly worn finish, a tiny chip at the top corner of the left panel and some further light handling marks. This example exhibits correct early features, namely the sideplate secured by a single screw and the extra screw present on the right side of the frame behind the recoil shield. All of the serialized parts are matching and the mechanism functions very well with excellent timing and solid lockup. Overall an attractive and rather interesting early example for the Smith & Wesson collector. (138737-143) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. Louis C. March Jr. Collection]

The brass frame retains about 90% original nickel finish showing some flaking to ocher patina near the trigger, a few smaller flakes and minor bubbling scattered about. The edge of the trigger has some more moderate pitting, some of the screw heads retain some nice fire blue and the hammer retains some strong case-hardened colors. The smooth walnut grips are pencil-numbered to the gun and remain in very good condition retaining most of the original varnish on the right panel, more significant flaking on the left panel, some minor dings and handling marks. The mainspring shows an older soldering repair but the mechanism is still functional. A fine example overall probably made toward the end of production. (138737-160) {C&R} [Dr. Louis C.

The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in near excellent condition showing some minor smoothing and light handling marks. The mechanism operates crisply although barrel-to-frame fit shows some play as, unfortunately, there is a rather significant crack on the left side frame hinge.

The lockplates are maker-marked in very small script behind the hammers and are very difficult to discern although "Auxerre" is visible so they are likely French-made. The straight grip walnut stock remains in good-very good overall condition with an about 1" moderate chip at the toe and just some further light dings, scratches and handling marks. The shotgun is equipped with sling swivels, the barrels seem to be on-face, they lock up tightly and the locks function crisply. An attractive European pinfire shotgun overall. (138865-50) {ANTIQUE}

The walnut stock remains in fair-good condition showing a number of powder post beetle holes scattered about, a small crack at the recoil bolt, moderate dings, abrasions and handling marks.

Custom High Standard Olympic Isu Military Model Semi-Auto Pistol

Lot #894 (Sale Order 894 of 1062)

serial #2084624, 22 Short, 6 3/4" tapered and ported barrel with an excellent bore. This interesting unmarked custom pistol features a number of experimental methods tried by the High Standard Company to make an award-winning I.S.U. pistol for the Olympics. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original blue and anodized finishes, not to include the in-the-white surfaces of the altered slide, showing scattered light scratches, edge wear and a few minor oxidation blemishes. The trigger shows scattered light oxidation. The checkered walnut thumb rest factory grips rate about excellent. Author Tom Dance in his book High Standard outlines many of the experimental features tried by the company to build an I.S.U. pistol and found on this gun such as: barrel has dual ports with expansion chamber at the muzzle, six slotted ports cut into the barrel just forward of the chamber, the slide is heavily altered by shortening and planing the top thinner to decrease weight and increase cycling time, a block is pinned at the rear of the frame below the rear sight bridge to act as a recoil buffering system, the extractor is absent relying on straight blow back for extraction, right front corner of the slide angled to reduce stove piping of cases and the recoil spring guide rod appears to be an altered 10d common nail. The pistol also features a Patridge front sight, bridge mounted adjustable rear sight and a complete set of barrel weights but there is no shield or cover over the hammer and recoil spring assembly as on the experimental models. It includes a single factory magazine with red synthetic base plate, the spacer lying in the front of the magazine tube unlike the rear mounted spacer of the experimental I.S.U guns. It was claimed that many of these experimental alterations made for a gun that did not move during recoil, a desirable feature throughout I.S.U. competition. It is not known who did the work on this pistol or if they achieved their goals but it looks like it would be a hoot to shoot, if not a little noisy. (88873-271) {MODERN}

Both rate very good plus with only light handling marks and dings from the years, the buttplate somewhat imprecisely fitted. Length of pull to the grooved hard rubber buttplate is 14” with drops of 1 3/8” and 2 3/8”.

Additionally the small ring receiver has been fitted with dual claw scope bases front and rear, no rings are present. The barrel is marked “J Greger/Dilligen”, its underside 6.3mm over 57, proved in 1937, likely indicating a 6.5x57 mm rifle. As with all arms of unknown caliber a qualified gunsmith should make a chamber cast, determine caliber and check headspace before any thought is given to using the arm. Overall an attractive German-made sporting rifle that would likely do respectable duty on whitetails. (38909-45) {C&R}
