Very Rare Beretta M9-FS Semi-Auto Pistol Made for The U.S. Army Reserve Shooting Team

Lot #1000 (Sale Order 1 of 753)

serial #BER183489Z, 9mm, 5" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this pistol retain 99% original factory dull blue and anodized finishes showing a couple of very light handling marks sparsely scattered about. The black checkered synthetic grips with Beretta logos remain in excellent condition. The pistol includes its original factory sleeve and blue plastic hard case, manual, cleaning brushes and two 15-round magazines. The magazines and major components bear proper military drawing numbers, "PB" in a circle sans serif on the left side slide, "PM" proof on right side slide and "U.S. 9mm M9" military designation. The story behind these pistols is an interesting one, in 1992 Lt. Col. (Res.) Mark Westrom of AMCOM Rock Island worked a deal with Beretta USA to provide a limited number of pistols for the U.S. Army Reserve Marksmanship Shooting Team. Due to U.S. Government regulations, no working firearms are deaccessioned (the only notable exception being M1 Garand rifles), therefore pistol team members could not legally obtain an actual U.S.-issued Beretta M9 pistol for practice and competition shooting. Beretta made available a total of 217 M9 pistols that were taken "off the line" from the government contract and given conventional civilian serial numbers with the "BER" prefix and "Z" suffix. Since the U.S. Government never took legal ownership of the pistols, no DOD regulations were violated, and the individual shooters could purchase the arms directly. It was eventually agreed between Beretta and the U.S. Army at Rock Island Arsenal that they would not have any future production of these pistols. Evidently the D.O.D. got wind of the deal and stopped any further "civilian" offerings, even though, technically these were not "civilians" purchasing the arms. These guns were the subject of a September 1996 American Rifleman article detailing their interesting history, a copy of which is included. With only 217 such pistols manufactured by Beretta, the chances of locating one on the secondary market are very slim and this is a very rare opportunity for the Beretta or military pistol collector to obtain an actual M9, as-issued government pistol.

serial #5142, 44 Magnum, 7 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore.

Fine Cased Pair of Percussion Pistols

Lot #1020 (Sale Order 21 of 753)

43 caliber, 9" octagon barrels with bright excellent smooth bores. These pistols are unmarked on their exterior, the undersides of barrels are Birmingham proofed and marked "H&S" and the insides of the lockplates are marked "H&S". We attribute the guns to Hollis & Sheath who were active in Birmingham during the middle of the 19th century. These pistols were obviously made for export and were intended to be marked by their retailer but they remain unmarked. It would be nice to see a New York or Philadelphia retailer mark on the barrels but it just isn't there. The pistols are of very nice quality with back action locks which are nicely scroll engraved as are the patent breeches which are also double silver banded. The barrels are fastened by a single key with German silver escutcheons and the ramrod channels are enclosed to within three inches of the muzzles which requires only a tailpipe to retain the ramrod. The pistols have a lovely simple style and very graceful lines. The condition of the pistols is fabulous. The barrels each retain 95% original brown finish with lacquer still present and with strong pattern visible the entire length of the barrels. The locks, barrel breeches and tangs retain 97% vivid original color case-hardened finish. The stocks rate excellent plus with 97% original finish remaining with nice clean flattop checkered bag shaped grips. There is some very light crazing in the finish which barely warrants mention and the tailpipes retain strong original color case-hardened finish. The triggerguards are nicely engraved in the same style as the locks and have flaked with surfaces now bearing a pleasing smooth brown patina with strong traces of original blue in protected areas. The pistols feature single set triggers and have simple original sights in place. The pistols come in their original French fitted mahogany casing with a burgundy baize liner that has faded some and has a truly wonderful appearance. The pistol is accompanied by a French fitted eagle flask which is in wonderful condition, two round ball moulds, a tin of caps, cast balls, a ramrod / cleaning rod and a lovely little ebony handled dirk with its original leather scabbard with German silver fittings. The compartment for the dirk is the same size as the compartment for the cleaning rod and may have originally held a cleaning rod however, the dirk fits perfectly and adds character to this already beautiful set. The condition of the case is excellent overall with lots of original finish and just one crack in the lid that is not major. This case is very American being of mahogany with a soft wood base. We feel confident that these pistols were made for the American market and likely were cased by the retailer when the pistols were new. A very handsome and fine set of percussion pistols.

The lock has a slight teat at its rear and faceted pan with unbridled frizzen and heavy swan neck cock, the touch hole appears to have been relined during the period of use although the arm does not appear to be a reconversion from percussion. There are three ramrod thimbles and a simple brass tailpipe with a very wide ribbed edge triggerguard having a lightly chiseled front extension. The brass buttplate is very simple and there is a brass oval monogram plate atop the wrist which is un-engraved. The stock appears very much to be cherry showing tight grain and scant figure, rating about very good, showing an old cleaning many years ago. There is a repaired crack on the left side of the stock below the stock flat, a few lengthy repaired cracks along the ramrod channel, a small chip missing at the front of the lockplate, small chip at left of tang with a chip at the toe as well. The stock still exhibits a nice patina with wear to a brighter coffee-cream color on the sharp edges. There is some very light open foliate carving to the rear of the raised tang island. A very nice and very attractive long fowler for above the mantel, measuring 66 1/2'' overall length, very ''lower Hudson Valley''. (3A8937-404) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and in time. The gun comes in a French fitted oak case with green baize interior with the makers name embossed in gold within the lid. Inside we find a Sykes patent fireproof screw-off top flask with adjustable spout from 2 1/2 to 3 drams. It features a foliate embossed body on both sides with tight seams and remnants of original lacquer. There is a turned mahogany percussion cap ''jar'' and an assortment of wads within the case compartments; the key for the case is included. The touchmark on the underside of the barrels was used by Bernard in the period 1867-1873, Cotte' was active in Pérrone, Sommé circa 1870. A quality made French fowler that seems very rugged, and may still do its job afield after a complete inspection by a competent blackpowder arms smith.

The lockplate screw escutcheon shows a long German silver sea serpent-like tail and there is a nice pierced German silver star inlay on the cheekpiece which is lightly engraved. This would appear to be the work of ''JN Maynard'' purportedly of Deposit, New York in the 1860s, John Maynard of Albany would be a bit too early for a percussion gun. A very graceful rifle overall.

There are just a few small blemishes scattered about and there is an area of concentrated freckles behind the triggerguard where the shooter's middle finger rests. The pistolgrip walnut buttstock features double-border fine-line checkering and a detailed metal cap has been added to the pistolgrip, it is marked with the letter ''C'' in the middle, it is about very good with handling marks and light scratches throughout. The forend metal is also intricately-engraved, it features the same checkering pattern with hints of fiddleback figure and is about excellent with scattered signs of handling. The buttstock appears to have been expertly-shortened to accommodate the brown recoil pad, the length of pull is 13 7/8''. The shotgun is equipped with a gold single selective trigger retaining perhaps 70% original finish, non-automatic safety and ejectors. Lock up is tight and the lever rests dead-center. Browning estimated that 36 hours of engraving went into each Grade V gun, this example was produced in 1959, just one year before Mr. Funken retired. (22C9473-17) {MODERN} [Col. L.H.

serial #253343, 41 Colt, 4 3/4" barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore. This 1904 made gun was non-factory refurbished and engraved by an unknown artisan. The surfaces have intertwined moderately tight scroll engraving with punch-dot shading for full coverage.

The metal surfaces retain about 95% reapplied nickel plate showing high edge wear at the muzzle and toe, oxidation stains, old pitting under the new finish, freckling in the flutes and other handling marks.

The gold wash has stubbornly resisted wear in the recesses of the punch-dot shading on the cylinder and outer edge of the ejector rod housing but was not so resilient on the remaining surfaces. The grips are lovely unmarked period mother-of-pearl that rate very good to excellent with a 1/2" long moderately deep chip missing at the top where they meet the backstrap. The action works mechanically, the barrel address and Rampant Colt on the frame are soft but the other markings remain strong. A fine example of a custom engraved Peacemaker.

Lot #1081 (Sale Order 82 of 753)

serial #4107Q, 22 LR, 4 3/4" barrel with an excellent bore. This gun has been transformed into a unique collectible but sadly the only indication of the artisan that engraved this fine 1957 made revolver is the inscription on the butt "ENG. BY R.A.".

Colt Single Action Army Wells Fargo Company Marked Revolver Identified to Hart Dixon

Lot #1082 (Sale Order 83 of 753)

serial #277406, 45 Colt, 5 1/2" barrel showing strong rifling with scattered oxidized pitting. This 1906 made gun was one of ten sent to the Wells Fargo Office in New York City before finding its way to Mr. Dixon. The metal surfaces have predominately toned to an even brown patina with some original blue lurking in the protected recesses of the frame and a mottled mix of blue and brown in the flutes of the cylinder. There is faded remnants of case-hardened colors present on both sides of the forward part of the frame in addition to scattered oxidation and varying degrees of pitting on the metal surfaces with few handling marks. The trigger and hammer are brown with oxidation stains on the bright sides. The checkered hard rubber factory grips with a Rampant Colt in an oval rate about very good with light wear to the diamond points, scratches, a few dings and the Colts have softened from handling. The right panel is numbered to the gun (7406) but the left has been inscribed with a name and location, only the "7" remains visible. The panel is inscribed with "Hart Dixon / 1915 / Luxora / Ark". The butt of the gun is inscribed "W.F. & Co." with strong to crisp factory markings visible on the barrel and frame. All appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun and it still times and locks up correctly. This gun was purchased in 1992 by John J. Kudlik who researched Mr. Dixon and the gun comes with considerable documentation and it was later sold to the current consignor. A Colt factory letter indicates this gun was shipped as described on April 28, 1906, to Wells Fargo Co., c/o William Ashton, Agent, New York, N.Y., and was engraved "W.F. & Co." on the butt. It is purported that Mr. Dixon was an agent for Wells Fargo in Luxora, Arkansas, and later a Deputy Sheriff. There is a copy of a 1920 U.S. Census listing his profession as Deputy Sheriff when he lived in Osceola, Arkansas. There is considerable documentation attached concerning a raid of "Island 37" a "bootleggers" rendezvous situated in the Mississippi river on the Arkansas – Tennessee border. On July 15, 1915 the raid of the "blind tiger" resulted in the subsequent killing of the Mississippi County, Arkansas, Sheriff Sam Mauldin, who lead the raid and one of his deputies. Their deaths led to the subsequent slaying of several of their attackers at the hands of lynch mobs on the night of the raid in a most brutal fashion and a month later of the "ring leader" Andy Crum in the Osceola jail where he was held. Some of the information provided in newspaper accounts is contradictory and Mr. Kudlik was never able to make the connection of Mr. Dixon being present at the Island 37 raid, although the probability was high as it appears the whole town got involved on the night in question and subsequent lynching of one of the ring leaders a month later. It makes for interesting reading and shows Old West justice was not dead by a long shot in 1915 Arkansas. This gun wants to give up more secrets and may well do so with a little more research. It will make a wonderful treasure for the collector or historian. (8C9476-7) {C&R}

First Year Production Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #1083 (Sale Order 84 of 753)

serial #11328, 45 Colt, 7 1/2" barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore. Page 6 of a Study of the Colt Single Action Revolver by Graham, Kopec and Moore indicate this gun was completed for civilian sales on July 22, 1874. The only remnants of finish are a few wedges of blue on the top rear and bottom rear of the type one ejector rod housing with retainer stud, the rest of the metal an even brown patina. The metal surfaces show oxidation blemishes with fairly even pinprick pitting, moderate to heavy in several areas, scratches, dings and a turn ring. The hammer and trigger have taken on the same brown patina with some bright metal showing on the sides of the hammer where it contacts the frame. The smooth one-piece walnut factory grip is numbered to the gun but some of the numbers are worn and rates about good showing moderate wear, shrinkage, rounding at the toe on both sides, several moderate scratches and four or five small but heavy dings on the butt. The barrel and grip frame assembly are numbered to the gun, the cylinder is numbered "1220" but shows the same wear as the rest of the gun and was swapped out a long ago. A small inspection "c" appears under the ejector rod housing near the screw and in the slot under the hammer. The barrel address is flanked by "daggers" with slant script showing a broken die on the letter "A" in Hartford (upper right leg). The ejector rod spring is broken but the piece is present and still functions. This gun includes a pair of documents, the first is a factory letter indicating this gun was shipped August 17, 1874 to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham of New York, New York along with eleven other guns. The second document is a signed letter by the owner of O.C. Young Antique Firearms of Denton, Texas, proclaiming the authenticity of the firearm, presumably that they were selling at the time. The U.S. Army got the lion's share of Single Action production in the first year making solid civilian revolvers like this one highly desirable. (8A9476-1) {ANTIQUE}

The English walnut stock rates about very good with the overall expected dings and handling marks from the years with some coarse flat-topped checkering at the wrist in a wrap-around pattern. There has been an odd beavertail-like extension added to the forearm, ahead of the barrel wedge, it is very hand-filling and is checkered and rates excellent, its method of attachment is not known although it appears to be screwed or pinned beneath small filler plugs which were finished-over; it precludes removal of the barrels from the stock. The patent locks are very interesting in that they have upper extensions which flank both sides of the tang and act as bolsters at the rear of the breeches. Another interesting feature is the guns oversize triggerguard, which clearly would accommodate a gloved hand. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and the hammers seem to be in-time. A very interesting Manton percussion double. (3B8937-174) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

Very Rare Japanese Type 38 Arisaka "Love of Country" Bolt Action Rifle by Tokyo Arsenal

Lot #1148 (Sale Order 149 of 753)

serial #2003267, 6.5 Arisaka, 31" barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some scattered small spots of light pitting and strong rifling throughout. This is a very desirable rifle with kanji stamps on either side of the Imperial Chrysanthemum that translate invariably as "Love of Country" or "Patriotic". These rifles were funded by donations from ordinary Japanese citizens and were so marked to signify this patriotic public gesture; indeed tanks, airplanes and other military equipment beyond rifles and carbines were funded by donation throughout the 1920s and 30s. This is a very nice example of a late production Tokyo Arsenal rifle with all markings crisp and intact. The metal surfaces retain perhaps 75-80% original blue very strong along the barreled action showing some scattered light oxidation staining, a few spots of pinprick pitting and a minor ding behind the front band. The triggerguard, floorplate and buttplate have mostly toned to dark gray-brown patina with some moderate oxidation staining, heavier along the buttplate. The bolt has mostly toned to a medium gray-brown showing some bright areas, the rear sight spring shows good straw color and the magazine follower retains most of its lovely fire blue. The Asian hardwood stock and handguard remain in very good condition showing the usual moderate dings, scratches and abrasions throughout, a couple small cracks on the handguard ahead of the rear sight base and a repaired duffel cut beneath the barrel band. The stock still retains some good original finish and very nice kanji inspection stamps behind the pistolgrip. There is no dust cover present but the original cleaning rod is included, all of the bolt parts, front band, floorplate and bolt release are matching by assembly number "446" and the action seems to function well mechanically. By last count only 12 or so of these rifles are accounted for; this would be an excellent addition to any collection of martial arms. (13B9443-3) {C&R}

German LP.08 Artillery Luger Pistol by DWM

Lot #1149 (Sale Order 150 of 753)

serial #9654b, 9mm, 8" barrel with a bright near excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1917-dated pistol retain perhaps 92% original blue showing some light high edge and operational wear, areas of thinning along the barrel, scattered light dings and scratches. The small parts retain most of their lovely straw color showing some very minor silvering while the sear spring, front sight and portions of the rear sight and grip screws still show nice fire blue. All markings remain quite crisp and clear. The checkered walnut grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in very good condition showing some areas of lightly chipped and dented points along with some mild smoothing. The pistol is still equipped with fine-tune adjustable sights, curiously the front sight has been re-numbered to match and the rear sight is a mix of matching, re-numbered and mismatched components. The breechblock is also mismatched numbered "79" but stamped with the appropriate Imperial eagle proof and the remaining serialized parts including the un-grooved firing pin are matching. It seems most likely that this pistol saw some repair work in a field-level depot during the war. The action seems to function well mechanically and the pistol includes a bright-bodied wood base magazine numbered "3156d". A fine wartime example of these desirable Luger pistols. (13B9451-72) {C&R}

German LP.08 Artillery Luger Board Stock and Holster Rig

The left side body is stamped with a wonderful Imperial crown inspector stamp and the hardware retains strong original blue with nice straw on the latch showing a couple spots of moderate oxidation staining. The leather fittings remain in very good plus condition showing some light crackling along the smaller straps and some areas of slightly loose stitching. The small retainer tab on the bottom strap that keeps it secure to the end cap is missing but this is relatively minor. The black leather holster is also quite nice and marked under the flap on the main body "R.Kuhlewein & Co. / Erfurt / 1916" and also artillery unit-marked on the inside body "BAIII." The holster remains in very good plus condition showing a small tear at the top edge of the lid, some minor crackling along the straps and otherwise just some scattered light handling marks. All stitching is sound and the various pouches are intact. The only major component missing appears to be the shoulder strap that loops through both pieces to secure the top of the holster to the butt end of the stock thus causing the holster to be a little loose. The holster contains an unmarked combination tool and hardwood-handled cleaning jag in very good plus condition. A very attractive rig to accompany your LP.08. (13B9451-72A)

The saddle ring and original carbine sights are intact, a pull-through cleaning brush is present in the butt and the action seems to function well mechanically. This carbine has seen some honest use but remains a nice example and will probably be a fine shooter. (139451-42) {C&R}

The plain walnut stocks remain in very good plus condition as lightly refinished long ago showing some scattered light dings, scratches and handling marks.

The arsenal refurbishment has removed the original barrel markings but all of the frame patent markings remain clear. The walnut stocks remain in very good condition showing a small crack and dings at the toe and right side tip of the forend, scattered light abrasions and handling marks. The buttstock retains very nice "DFC" and "EF" cartouches on the left side. The carbine is equipped with an 1859-style buttplate, the saddle bar is present but the ring is missing and the front sight blade is a gunsmith replacement. The barrel number has been scrubbed but does have an arsenal assembly number matching the extractor. The action gets a little hung up at the end of its travel but otherwise seems to function well mechanically with a crisp hammer and intact firing pin. (13A9433-14) {ANTIQUE}

There are still some remnants of bold case-hardened colors in the protected corners of the action and lever. The screw heads show some light slot wear but all markings remain very nice and clear, the top of the action is not adapted for the Hepburn sight and thus the "MARLIN SAFETY" marking is centered. The plain walnut stocks remain in very good condition as perhaps lightly cleaned long ago showing mostly worn finish, areas a little bit shy at the upper tang, scattered light dings and handling marks. The rifle is sighted with flattop sporting rear and Lyman ivory bead front sight. The extractor claw has broken but the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically. A nice example of these big bore Marlins, this one made around 1898 and with a very nice bore. (13B9464-5) {ANTIQUE}

The metal surfaces of this 1893-made revolver have toned to a mottled pewter and dark gray patina showing scattered old light pitting, a bit more moderate along the ejector rod housing along with some overall handling marks. The muzzle shows extensive holster wear really lending some character to the arm. The barrel address is rather soft but still mostly legible and the remaining markings are clear including the circled Rampant Colt on the left side frame. A couple of screws and small parts, namely the base pin and trigger, are replacements as are the black checkered plastic grips with Rampant Colts in an oval.

The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function very well mechanically with a crisp hammer, solid timing and lock-up.

The later factory barrel is marked "(BISLEY MODEL) / COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 SPECIAL" and with the two-line address on top.

The backstrap and triggerguard are matching the frame, the loading gate is matching the frame by assembly number and the remaining parts are un-numbered. The revolver is sighted with a custom slightly undercut patridge front sight, adjustable rear sight that appears to be from a Smith & Wesson but has been rather neatly fitted to the frame and the action functions crisply with excellent timing and lock-up. An interesting Bisley that will likely make for a great shooter. (13A9451-80) {MODERN}

U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket by Wickham with New Jersey Hunterdon Brigade Markings

Lot #1171 (Sale Order 172 of 753)

69 cal, 42" barrel with an oxidized bore. This is an honest musket with a nice "barn find" appearance. The metal surfaces are a dark brown patina showing scattered oxidation staining and old light pitting while the brass pan is untouched and a mix of dark ocher patina and heavy verdigris. The breech proofs are quite good with "GF / P / US" and the lockplate markings are somewhat soft but mostly visible, they are the earlier variation with just "M.T. WICKHAM / PHILA" in the center. The walnut stock has a nice dark appearance and remains in very good plus condition showing a few thin drying cracks and shallow small chips scattered about, light dings and handling marks. The left stock flat is still clearly marked "V / GF" and "HUNTERDON BRIGADE" is stamped twice, ahead of the triggerguard and ahead of the toe line. The original ramrod is present and shows some very light dings near the tip, the sling swivels are intact and the lock seems to function well mechanically. The Hunterdon Brigade could trace its heritage back to the Hunterdon County Militia which saw action in the Revolutionary War. The unit continued to be known as such until at least 1860 as research reveals a record of the New Jersey General Assembly proceedings from 1860 listing provisions issued to the Hunterdon Brigade from the state arsenal. Interestingly it lists "20 old brown flint muskets" issued to the Union Cadets of Company E and the Locktown Volunteers, both part of the Hunterdon Brigade. Many of these small militia units were likely consolidated into larger regiments at the outbreak of the Civil War. A very good example with an interesting New Jersey connection.

Springfield Armory Rolling Block Saddle Ring Carbine

Normally this plate is mounted on the left even when a saddle ring bar is equipped but in this case the ring bar is mounted such that this would not be possible. The barrel is marked "43" and the carbine is equipped with a flip-up sight graduated at 300 and 600 yards. The action seems to function well mechanically. An interesting saddle ring carbine that shows some honest use. (13B7597-43) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #1254 (Sale Order 255 of 753)

serial #286955, 45 Colt, 4 3/4" barrel with strong rifling showing a number of moderate to large size oxidized pits, mostly mid bore. This gun is purported to have been used by Deputy U.S. Marshal J.L. Merriman of Fort Smith, Arkansas. The metal surfaces are an even brown patina with fine pinprick pitting on most of the metal showing the occasional blue in the protected areas plus scratches, dings and a turn ring. The frame has wisps of case-hardened colors at the lower corners of the recoil shields with surprisingly strong colors on the inside of the window along the lower frame, recoil shield and front sections. The hammer and trigger are gray with stains on the side of the hammer from oxidation. The grips are unmarked period replacement carved mother-of-pearl showing a smooth left panel and carved steers head on the right. The grips rate about excellent with a few light chips on the toe and heel plus a few other handling marks. The bottom of the gun is hand-stamped ''J.L.M''. which is purported to be Deputy U. S. Marshal John Lewis Merriman's initials. The gun still functions mechanically although the safety notch is worn and the markings on the frame remain strong to crisp with the barrel markings lightly softened. This gun includes a factory letter indicating it was shipped as described on December 17, 1906 to Speer Hardware Company, Fort Smith, Arkansas along with nine other guns. Documentation shows Merriman was born April 3, 1856, and passed on April 28, 1944 at the age of 88. He was sworn as a Deputy Marshal on June 1, 1893 and was still a Marshal when this gun was shipped as there is an account of an arrest of a G.L. Rice for possession of alcohol in June 1907. Although the pair of receipts from Speer Hardware Company made out to R.D. Jones and dated in 1900 and 1901 do not mention this gun, they are a great addition to its provenance. There is some circumstantial evidence but nothing direct linking Merriman to the gun, still it has much potential and shows lots of honest use over the years. (8A9476-13) {C&R}

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #1255 (Sale Order 256 of 753)

Description Update 11/14/2019: Cylinder bolt worn, will counter-rotate

serial #30686, 45 Colt, 7 1/2" barrel with a moderately oxidized and pitted bore showing strong rifling. This third-year production gun has seen hard use over the years but remains an honest gun. The metal surfaces have been cleaned to a mix of medium gray and brown with fine cleaning striations, oxidation blemishes, pitting and other handling marks. The hammer and trigger match the condition of the other parts but there is a sliver of original blue running down the type II ejector rod assembly with a tiny wedge on the bottom protected by the base pin. The smooth one-piece walnut grip has no visible number remaining and may be an older replacement. The cylinder, barrel and grip frame are numbered to the gun, the mechanism still functions but the safety notch is worn and in need of attention, there are Colt inspector marks under the ejector rod housing by the screw and the sides of the base pin head have been flattened. A factory letter indicates this gun left the factory as described on December 30, 1876 and was shipped to B. Kittredge & Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, in a shipment of 50 guns. Side notes in the letter indicate barrel length is not specified but usually designates a 7 1/2" length and a second listing was found for this serial number with the same configuration. It indicates it was included in a shipment of 25 guns on July 24, 1879 also to Kittredge & Company. Perhaps this gun was returned from the first order or was never shipped, a mystery that may never be solved. A fine old Colt that appears to have been there and done that. (8A9476-2) {ANTIQUE}

serial #82-39197, R.C.A. #9, 44 Magnum, 4 3/4" Mag-na-ported barrel with a bright excellent bore.

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #1257 (Sale Order 258 of 753)

serial #83233, 45 Colt, 7 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore showing only traces of faint oxidation along the sides of the lands. The gun has been lightly modified but overall remains an honest piece. The metal surfaces have been cleaned to fairly even pewter with a few streaks of brown in addition to old pitting, scratches and a few scattered dings. The hammer and trigger rate the same and the gun features a later type III ejector rod assembly. The grips are checkered hard rubber with Rampant Colt in an oval and Federal Eagle. There are no visible numbers remaining on the back of the panels and they rate about fair to good with moderate wear, scratches and a 3/4" repaired chip at the left toe. Barrel, cylinder and all the other appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun and it still functions mechanically but the safety notch is worn and in need of attention. The one anomaly on this gun is the forward third of the right side triggerguard has been cut away leaving about less than half the metal present. Showing "most things new are old", Border Patrol Agent Bill Jordan favored partially cutting the forward section of the triggerguard away allowing the trigger finger faster access to the triggerguard without compromising the strength as when completely cut away such as in the Fitz Special revolvers. A factory letter is included and indicates this gun was shipped on October 3, 1882, to J.P. Moore's & Son, New York, New York along with four other guns. The letter indicates this gun was nickel plated with rubber stocks but no barrel length is given which usually indicates a 7 1/2" length. A second letter was forwarded to Colt by one of the previous owners asking for more history and the purpose of the cut away triggerguard. One of the previous owners knew a little about gunfighting and modified this revolver to suite his needs. (8B9476-6) {ANTIQUE}

Colt Third Generation Single Action Army Arvo Ojala Commemorative Revolver and Holster

Lot #1258 (Sale Order 259 of 753)

serial #SA35665, 45 Colt, 4 3/4" barrel with an excellent bore. Arvo Ojala was a self-taught quick draw artist, marksman and actor who taught many cinema notables such as James Arness, Marilyn Monroe and Paul Newman to name a few, the art of quick draw. His most notable role was the black hatted stranger facing down Marshal Matt Dillon in the opening sequences of Gunsmoke. He was the genuine article and able to hit small targets with blinding speed using full power ammunition and has been clocked drawing and firing in one-sixth of a second. He designed and patented a steel lined holster that allowed the gun to be cocked in the holster making for a faster draw. This lovely 1980-made revolver retains about 99% plus original nickel plate with no visible turn ring and a few minor handling marks. The faux mother-of-pearl grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions rate excellent. The prominent feature of this gun is the quick draw hammer with smooth angled spur and the light smooth action. The gun has the usual Single Action Army markings in addition to "ARVO OJALA" engraved on the backstrap and "ARVO OJALA COMMEMORATIVE" engraved on the right side of the barrel. No commemorative would be complete without an Ojala quick draw holster rig. This commemorative includes an Arvo Ojala Hollywood quick draw holster and belt rig that remains in excellent condition with slight wear on the inside of the holster from light use. The belt measures 37" to the center hole made of rough out suede leather with (25) .45 caliber cartridge loops and the famous Ojala steel lined holster for a Single Action Army with 4 3/4" barrel. The holster features a leather thong hammer loop and leg tie down. The back of the holster is tooled along the edges with a scallop pattern, the center has a punch-dot pattern with "ARVO OJALA" boldly carved on the flat. His maker stamp is also present "ARVO OJALA / MAKER / HOLLYWOOD, CAL.'' in an oval bordered with scallop design. Whether you were a Saturday morning Western cinema enthusiast or are looking for something unusual for your collection you need look no further. (8B9495-8) {MODERN}

Colt Single Action Army Bisley Model Revolver

Lot #1259 (Sale Order 260 of 753)

serial #274981, 32-20 W.C.F., 5 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore. This 1906 revolver remains in very good condition with about 90% original and reapplied factory finishes present. The original finish on the barrel is wearing at the muzzle and shows a moderate ding on the left edge which thankfully is nowhere near the crown, the ejector rod housing also showing edge wear with a smaller ding. The original finish on the cylinder and reapplied finish on the grip frame are silvering on the edges and lightly thinning on the front and backstraps. The frame has beautiful case-hardened colors with mild fading on the right side below the window and left recoil shield. These surfaces have a mix of oxidation blemishes, scratches and moderate operational wear on the cylinder. The grips are period unmarked smooth mother-of-pearl stocks that rate about good as repaired. In the past the right panel had the misfortune to break in half and was repaired leaving a chip missing near the escutcheon and a very shallow 3/4" long flake off the heel. The left panel had a 7/8" long piece break off the heel and was repaired. Both straps have factory rework number 873B as does the bottom of the ejector rod housing. The serial numbers on the frame and grip frame all match but are soft from light strikes and the refinish, the safety notch is worn, the loading notch does not function and both need professional attention. A nice looking Bisley. (8A8937-17) {C&R} [Cletus Klein Collection]

Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Lot #1261 (Sale Order 262 of 753)

serial #333806, 45 Colt, 5 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore. A fine Colt with about 75% original finishes. The barrel and ejector rod housing show moderate edge wear on the sides with some fine scattered pinprick pitting. The cylinder has lost perhaps 40% of its blue due to cleaned oxidized pitting with the normal turn ring and high edge wear. The front and backstraps are worn and lightly cleaned to pewter with oxidation stains, pitting and scratches. The frame has beautiful case-hardened colors with some fading on the loading gate and topstrap in addition to freckling and limited pitting, the hammer worn to pewter on the spur but sharp colors on the sides with oxidation and operational marks. The grips are thin smooth well-aged ivory showing slight shrinkage with scattered age checks that have darkened into fine lines and rate very good to excellent. There is a small chip missing on the heel of the left panel and tiny ones on the heel, toe and backstrap of the right. All appropriate parts have matching numbers, the action is crisp and the top of the backstrap is discreetly engraved "Silver City" with no other engravings found. With upwards of thirteen locales in the U.S. utilizing that name, it is only a guess which one the previous owner proudly had engraved on his revolver. An honest gun with potentially interesting provenance if one can "crack the code" of the Silver City inscription. (8B8937-13) {C&R} [Cletus Klein Collection]

The barrel of this civilian model carbine has toned to a pleasant mild gray and plum-brown patina showing some scattered spots of old oxidation staining. The action shows strong remnants of bright silvery case-hardened patina throughout with scattered gray-brown freckling. The screw heads show some light slot wear and the hammer and breechblock have toned to a dark gray patina. The Remington address at the upper tang is partially legible as there is a seat for a lollipop tang sight present that goes through the address. The sight has sadly been lost to the years but was likely factory as there is no rear sight seat on the barrel. The frame appears to be a left-over from the military contracts with visible sub-inspector stamps scattered about, the lower tang is numbered "4717" and the barrel "2005". The smooth straight grip deluxe walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good condition showing a 2 3/4" moderate old abrasion along the left side wrist, a small sliver lost at the back right edge of the forend, a couple very thin drying cracks and scattered light dings. The stocks retain strong remnants of a nice antique varnish and show some lovely grain figure throughout. The sling bar and ring are intact, the front sight is a plain bead and the action seems to function well mechanically. A very good example of these interesting low-production Remington long arms.

The screw heads show some very light slot wear and the Remington address and patent markings remain mostly clear. The hammer and breechblock show good remnants of bright fire blue with overall toning to a dark gray patina. The smooth rosewood grips remain in very good plus condition showing mostly worn finish with some light dings along the bases and a few other minor handing marks. The breechblock operates a little stiffly but the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically with a crisp hammer. An attractive example of these little Remington pistols, only an estimated 300 to 500 were made in 32 caliber. (13A9471-27) {ANTIQUE}

The bow of the guard shows a rehbock buck surrounded by the same open scroll. The arm is stocked in a lovely grade of what is likely French walnut with a round knob pistolgrip and rounded left side shadowline cheekpiece. The stock shows an old cleaning many years ago, the checkering very neatly chased at that time, the panels with mullered front borders. The forearm appears original and is fully checkered, with a nice lever release at its tip. The length of pull to the grooved bone buttplate is 14'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 5/8''.

Pennsylvania Fullstock Flintlock Sporting Rifle by Henry Gibbs

Lot #1331 (Sale Order 332 of 753)

About 50 cal, 43'' octagon barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel on this Lancaster-made rifle is a dull pewter and soft brown patina showing scattered oxidation staining and some spots of light pinprick pitting. It features a simple scant blade silver front sight, very light geometric engraving on a couple of the flats, longleaf v-notch rear; its step elevator is missing. The top flat is marked ''H Gibbs'' to the rear of the rear sight and the arm appears to be an excellent quality reconversion to flint. The lock is an overall brown patina with a light step at its rear and small teat. It features a bridled roller frizzen and graceful swan neck cock, the frizzen spring and its screw newer replacements. There is a makers name present, it is however not readable. The gun features brass hardware overall with nosecap, faceted thimbles, unadorned tailpipe, dovetail extension triggerguard with a single grip spur. The crescent buttplate is lightly faceted at its tang and the patchbox release is in the toeplate. There is a pierced patchbox as well with daisy head and very light borderline engraving, it does not readily release. There is a simple geometric sideplate and a small lozenge-shaped inlay with a Federal Eagle stamp in the square bottom cheekpiece. The stock rates about very good showing an old cleaning which has left the edges soft, but showing nice fiddleback figure its full-length, with the sparsely scattered light drying crack here and there and another 4'' crack on right side at nose. The wrist was coarsely checkered, this now worn nearly smooth, there is an antique later ramrod included. The rifle is equipped with double set triggers and a dual-acting lock, currently the triggers do not ''set''. Both Henry Gibbs' were active in the Lancaster Pennsylvania in the early-mid-and late 1800s, this example no doubt Henry Gibbs the younger as the architecture and construction is somewhat later than his fathers period of operation.

German Percussion Double Fowler by Gebruders Hoffman

Lot #1332 (Sale Order 333 of 753)

10 ga., 29 1/4'' barrels with oxidized bores. The barrels are a pewter gray showing star damascus pattern their full length with some sparsely scattered oxidation spotting here and there. They feature simple bead front sight and are maker marked ''Gebruder Hoffman in Heinrichs B/Suhl'' inlaid in gold on the rib. The breeches show open flowing Germanic scroll with dual inlaid silver bands and light engraving on the rib extension. All of the iron hardware is a dull tarnished pewter gray patina. There is extensive scroll on the tang with a gold inlaid recumbent gunning dog, each lockplate and hammer as well with extensive open flowing foliate and Germanic scroll. There are gold inlaid rabbits right and a gold inlaid fox left, his foreleg caught in a leghold trap, the rears of each plate lightly stepped. There are pivoting safeties on the lockplates and the hammer noses are chiseled in a dragon-like motif with gold eyes. There is light engraving on the tailpipe and the triggerguard front extension as well as the tang of the buttplate. The horn triggerguard rates very fine showing a small crack at its rear but it is stable and does not flex. The European walnut buttstock rates very good with the expected light dings and handling marks, showing a bit of added finish and a bit of discoloration along the toeline. The checkered grip area has heavy mullered borders and the arm features a flared left side cheekpiece. To the rear of this cheekpiece there is a nice carved wolf and hound scene against a wooded backdrop. The right lock seems to function properly, the left does not have a half cock rest. A somewhat ornate and seemingly well-constructed percussion double. (3B8937-364) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

Unmarked European Percussion Double Shotgun

Lot #1333 (Sale Order 334 of 753)

About 20 bore, 31'' Belgian barrels with about very good bores which show scattered light oxidation and some light pitting. An interesting gun, it appears very Czech in the manner of its construction and architecture, especially when the Czech arms emulate Germanic arms of the same era. The barrels are actually marked on the underside ''Merley London'', Stockel attributing this to Sebastien Merley of St. Etienne, the left tube actually with an engraved Belgian proof mark. The barrels are now primarily a dull gray patina and have remnants of an impressed gold touch mark near the breeches, it unfortunately cannot be deciphered. The breeches are rather interesting in that they have large musket-style nipples which are open along their bottom edges, with a combustion chamber in-which appears to be another small nipple or cone. Rather than a pill lock or something similar this actually appears to be some manner of improved ignition device that uses a musket cap. It is likely that these barrels started life as being destined for a flintlock as the left and right tubes show plugged holes done prior to their finishing, just ahead of the current installed breeches. The locks and hammers show loose open flowing scroll, with beveled edges and very heavy hammer noses, showing perhaps 40% color case-hardening. The long tang as well is similar and very heavy in construction. The ramrod tailpipe and triggerplate front extension are very large and somewhat clumsy also. They show the same loose open flowing scroll and retain some strong color case-hardening. The European walnut stock rates very good with some very lovely grain figure, much original varnish and the expected light dings, flaking and handling marks that come from a field-used arm. There is a very large left side flared European-style cheekpiece with checkered panels at the wrist and forestock. There is a generous triggerguard as well of carved walnut with a very large carved scroll swirl at its rear. The right lock functions properly, the left lock does not hold on full cock, its half-cock notch is functional. The arm is equipped with rather large 1 1/2'' sling swivel loops. There is an antique horn-tip ramrod included. An interesting European double percussion fowler with a strange ignition system. (3A8937-181) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

British Single Barrel Trap Shotgun From London Sporting Park Limited

Lot #1334 (Sale Order 335 of 753)

The safety and top lever retain excellent original blue as does the bottom plate of the action. The long tang triggerguard shows a bit of blue on the bow with nice scroll engraving, the grasping area toned to pewter. The English walnut buttstock rates very good plus showing an old refinish many years ago. It features a wraparound checkering pattern with mullered borders and a professionally added butt extension, now providing a 15 3/4'' length of pull to the checkered butt. The target style forend rates very good as well, also with an old refinish, the checkering primarily flattop, with a couple dings and handling marks within. The shotgun exhibits drops of 1 3/8'' and 2'' (about 1 3/4'' where the butt extender begins) and the gun locks up tightly and is on-face. Features automatic safety with ''safe'' inlaid in gold and extractor. W.W. Watts opened the London Sporting Park in Hendon around 1897, a shooting school in North London, which operated roughly until the First World War. It is surmised many of these guns were made by the trade for him, this example 2 3/4'' London Nitro proofed for 1 1/4 ounce loads. A rather interesting and somewhat scarce British single barrel trap from this seldom-encountered London shooting school-retailer. (39312-135) {C&R} [Dr. Daniel L. Leary Jr. Collection]

Due to the highly artistic nature of this rifle it was only produced in very limited numbers with a retail price of about $2800. An excellent example of these high quality percussion schuetzen style target rifles. (4A8937-298) {ANTIQUE} [Cletus Klein Collection]

Interesting Prototype ART-Style Scope

Lot #1363 (Sale Order 364 of 753)

serial #218. This 3-6X40mm scope measures 13" overall with a 1" tube and retains about 97% anodized finish with excellent clear optics. The scope features a heavy tapered three post reticle with fine crosshair, no mil dots and what appear to be two horizontal range finding stadia lines above the centerline. There is a knurled threaded stud on the magnification ring and the ring rotates freely and seems to function properly. The rear of the power ring is marked ".223 Cal. 68 Gr. Colt" and the number "218" followed by the magnification scale. Brief research shows a joint Federal/Colt partnership that developed the XM-287 68 gr. FMJ round and a 77 gr. version for intended use in the Stoner 63 used by Navy SEALS during the Vietnam era. As the consignor of this scope was a 30 year employee of Colt, this is likely a factory prototype from that era. Further research may prove the intended purpose and era of this intriguing optic.

The barrel address still remains mostly clear and the rifle is stamped with period British proofs designating caliber as ".320". Some of the screw heads show light slot wear and one frame screw appears to be an older replacement. The plain walnut stocks remain in about very good condition showing a number of thin tight cracks along the frame junction and around the buttplate, overall darkening from the years, scattered light abrasions, handling marks and spots of staining along the buttstock. Despite the external appearance of the rifle the internals are very clean and the action functions smartly. The rifle is sighted with standard sporting sights and should make for a good shooter with its nice bore. The 32 caliber rifles represent the lowest production 1881's with only 1,785 produced.

British Flintlock Holster Pistol by D. Egg of London

Lot #1376 (Sale Order 377 of 753)

60 cal, 10 1/8" round barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces of this pistol have toned to a pewter gunmetal patina showing scattered old light pitting throughout, minor dings and areas toning more to gray-brown. The British proofs and Egg London address on the barrel are rather soft with only portions visible while the "D - EGG" on the lockplate remains clear.

The frizzen screw and jaw screw show moderate slot wear and the frizzen face shows strike marks from extensive use. The pistol features brass hardware including a single ramrod thimble, long tang triggerguard with simple acorn finial, heavy side plate and buttcap with lovely grotesque. The brass has toned to a pleasant mild ocher patina overall showing some very light dings and handling marks as well as a small brass wood screw added near the back of the sideplate that appears to serve no purpose. The walnut stock remains in very good condition as very lightly refinished long ago showing some neatly repaired small chips and cracks at the bolster ahead of the lockplate, a few smaller hairline cracks scattered about, some areas of dark leaching and minor dings. An antique wooden ramrod with horn tip is included and the lock remains functional. The lockplate and lock screws have corresponding "II" assembly hash marks and the arm appears to be in the original flint.

The firing pin is stuck forward but interestingly has both a centerfire and rimfire pin, it is a rather rudimentary set-up as there is no way to select one or the either so they would always both hit the cartridge. Also rather strange is the fact that the barrel essentially has no chamber, the rifling goes straight from one end to the other although there is a cartridge rim recess. The extractor is functional and the hammer remains crisp. A peculiar example, likely of European origins. (13A8502-17) {ANTIQUE}

Rare Winchester Pre '64 Model 70 Bull Gun Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1605 (Sale Order 606 of 753)

serial #72355, 30-06, 28'' heavy bull barrel with a bright about excellent bore which shows only some very light frosting nearer the throat. The barreled action retains about 97% original blue, the loss is due primarily to even fading, with some light muzzle wear and a bit of high edge wear on the receiver. The bolt body remains mostly bright with light operational wear and the knob toning to pewter; it is electric pencil numbered to the gun on its underside. The bottom metal shows a bit more wear with the guard toning to pewter on its edges with a bit of light oxidation, the floorplate a dark gray blue patina showing a bit of light oxidation as well, and oddly an added hole at its rear just above the center action screw. The factory smooth walnut marksman style stock would rate otherwise very fine to near excellent were it not one-time-shortened, no doubt for some manner of adjustable buttplate by Al Freeland or some other long-range guru of the era. Fortunately the original piece was saved and when the competitive shooter using the arm was done with it, the piece was re-attached (2 1/4'' in length). The reattached piece shows some black oxidation leaching in from the checkered steel buttplate, which clearly rusted at some point. The left and right of the stock at the junction showing 1 1/4'' relief cuts, perhaps to accommodate a thumb nut or other hardware on the adjustable buttplate. The rifle has steel target blocks atop the factory holes; the factory drilled and tapped holes in the rear receiver bridge have filler screws. The left side of the stock shows a small spot which was inletted for a receiver aperture sight elevation screw, which is no longer present, and the factory handstop rail is in place. The rifle has been fitted with a nice Canjar single set trigger, (it currently does not set but is likely merely an adjustment), the triggerguard having been relieved to accommodate the Canjar trigger, and the center action screw beneath the floorplate hole has been neatly drilled and tapped, perhaps the shooter was concerned with the floorplate opening accidentally during competition and used a small screw to preclude this. Features cloverleaf tang, grooved rounded top transition safety and early ''.30GOV'T'06'' caliber marking. A rare heavy barrel bull gun in the 30-06 caliber, the addition of a correct marksman stock would greatly enhance the value of the rifle, it doubtless shoots very fine as it sits. (39357-2) {MODERN}

One thing is certain excellent condition collectible 357 Maximum guns are dwindling fast and this one rates as a fine collectible. (8A9314-299) {MODERN} [Robert C. Greenberg Sr. Collection]

Ruger New Model Blackhawk-SRM Single Action Revolver

Lot #1686 (Sale Order 687 of 753)

serial #600-01149, 357 Maximum, 7 1/2" barrel with an excellent bore. This 1983-made revolver is based on a stretched frame Blackhawk to accommodate the longer Maximum cartridge. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original blue and anodized finishes with a turn ring on the cylinder, scattered light to moderate scratches and limited edge wear. The smooth walnut factory grips with silver Ruger Phoenix medallions rate about very good showing scattered dents, dings and scratches. The 7 1/2" barrel version was favored by hunters for its handiness over the longer barrel and features a serrated ramp front sight, black blade adjustable rear sight and Super Blackhawk Dragoon style steel grip frame. This gun appears to have seen some use and shows a very light flame cut line. Ruger built this model for three years then ceased production due to topstrap erosion. Beside Silhouette shooting the cartridge found a niche with handgun hunters who used heavier bullets for deep penetration and they purportedly eliminated the flame cutting issues found with lighter faster bullets. Many custom gunsmiths have used the frames to convert them to such powerhouses as the 500 Linebaugh Long Maximum, 445 Super Magnum and others. There is an ever-shrinking pool of these guns to satisfy the hunter, competitor and collector. This one will make a good start up gun for the collector or fine shooter.

The blade is polished bright with crisp cleaned etching depicting U.S. military symbols such as various panoplies of arms and crossed U.S. flags, the letters U.S. and the Federal Eagle beneath ''E Pluribus Unum'' riband all interspersed between patterns of elegant foliate scroll. The surface of the steel rates excellent as cleaned with just a few hints of smoky gray patina lingering in isolated specks. The edge is scabbard-dulled but was once service sharpened and exhibits numerous small impact dings in the upper half concentrated around the center of percussion. The knucklebow and single additional branch are spanned by pierced floral relief and the Phrygian pommel is cast-in-relief with a floral wreath.

The grip is wrapped in silvery shagreen and coiled by brass wire; the shagreen has lost a few scales here or there along the spine due to regular use but the wire remains bright and firmly affixed. The steel scabbard is in about fine condition retains much of the original blue, estimated 75%, partially toned to plum and partially blended into the smooth brown oxidation staining by cleaning. Flecks of later textured ochre appear here and there, particularly toward the tip, and a few negligible impact dings are present in the lower third. A cursory search reveals a David R. Russell, 1st Liet.; 137th N.Y.V.I., promoted Captain in 1863. Futher research may prove a connection. A finely maintained blade sure to make an excellent display piece for the collector of American swords. (12B9275-85)
