(C) EXCEPTIONALLY RARE CIA DEER GUN SINGLE SHOT PISTOL.

Lot #2149 (Sale Order 149 of 325)

Manufactured by American Machine & Foundry in 1962-1963 for CIA Clandestine Operations, these extremely scarce CIA Deer Guns were manufactured with the same intent as the much more commonly known "Liberator" pistols, and were intended to be air dropped to South Vietnamese guerrillas during the Vietnam War. These were inexpensive to manufacture, as the frames are one piece aluminum castings and featured an unscrewing barrel (which the user would use to load a new cartridge), a cocking lever, trigger, and retained only a single grooved notch for the sight. There were no markings or proofs stamped on these CIA Deer Guns, as this was done intentionally in order to conceal the weapons origin. There is no documentation of their use in Vietnam and the CIA denies their existence, leaving the extent of their usage unknown. Almost all of the 1,000 known to be manufactured were destroyed, and it is speculated that only a handful of these are still in existence. Ian McCollum provides a very comprehensive and informative video on a CIA Deer Gun we offered in our October 2019 Extraordinary, Sporting & Collector Firearms auction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-89falWO-NU CONDITION: Aluminum frame, cocking lever, and trigger show areas of aluminum oxide all around. Raised checkered grips show losses to grip pattern on either side, with a the majority of the loss being present on the left side. Cocking rod is partially broken, but does not come off. Steel smoothbore barrel is in the white, showing marks from sanding, with the bore showing small areas of pitting throughout. This is an exceptionally rare pistol that is an important piece of the CIA's Clandestine history and is considered by many to be a desirable addition to their US Military collection.

(1925) 29" chopper lump barrels are engraved with Dickson's name and Edinburgh address on narrow swamped game ribs. Rear portions of ribs are gold inlaid "1" and "2" which also appears on top levers, and forend tips denoting a true pair. These guns are also listed as a pair in "John Dickson & Son; The Round Action Gunmaker" by Donald Dallas. Barrel flats are stamped with London nitro proofs along with 1989 London re-proofs at .736 and 2 - 1/2" chambers. Round bodied trigger plate case hardened actions (patent use numbers 1616 and 1617) feature automatic safeties (SAFE inlaid in gold), pivoting third fasteners, and double triggers.

On round action guns the ejector mechanism is housed and tripped within the action body itself. The Dickson ejector system is very strong and reliable and was copied by Ruger for use in their "Gold Label" guns. When acting only as extractors, unfired cartridges are lifted 1/2" from chambers. Guns are housed in what appears to be their original two-gun leather case embossed "L. NEIL ROBERTSON" on central rectangle. Interior is lined in blue green velvet, and has blue printed paper Dickson & Son 63 Princes Street label in lid (used from 1920 - 1928). Bottom compartment is separated by dust flap, and has space for both guns and barrels, and contains a brass and ebony two piece cleaning rod, Dickson marked square oil bottle, and two old hinge pins. CONDITION: Very good, as refurbished, most likely at time of re-proof. Barrels retain over 95% "best" re-black, engraving on ribs almost unreadable. Actions retain traces of original case hardening color where protected, around fences, and on trigger plates, balance a fine pewter gray, all engraving remains clear. Top levers and trigger guards re-blued and retain nearly all of that blue, engraving is somewhat softened. Stocks retain nearly all of a hand rubbed oil finish over some old marks, and with a few subsequent nicks and dings. Checkering is somewhat worn, dirty, and does not appear to have been re-cut, except for a "repair" to a dent on forend of gun "2". Bores are excellent. Actions are tight. Barrels are on face. Ejectors are strong and slightly out of time on both guns. Case leather is still relatively light in color, and has quite a few bumps and rubs on edges. Straps and handle are good, but losing top grain. Interior cloth is very good to fine with some bumps, rubs, and cuts. Label is very fine with some light foxing toward top. Partitions are good. Dust flap has cloth worn through and piping missing at edges. Accessories are good. MGM52.

(C) FRESH TO MARKET AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED TRULY INCREDIBLE NEAR MINT AND EXCEEDINGLY RARE A.H. FOX

Lot #2237 (Sale Order 237 of 325)

Perhaps the most exciting discovery in American Sporting shotgun collecting in the past 20 years, and offered for sale publicly for the first time since new is the very last A.H. Fox FE Grade 20 Bore presented here. In total, there are believed to have been just six FE Grade 20 bore guns made, three in Philadelphia, and three by Savage Arms after their takeover of the A.H. Fox Gun Company. Several of the other FE Grade 20 bore guns are known to collectors and this gun, previously rumored but not before offered publicly, has recently surfaced in Colorado where its current owner consigned it with our firm. The gun was made with #3 weight 28" Chromox barrels which have a low profile raised ventilated matted rib with twin ivory beads. Barrels with chain border at muzzles and hand engraved "CHROMOX FLUID STEEL" / SAVAGE ARMS CORP., UTICA, N.Y. U.S.A." on tops. Barrels also engraved with 2 - 3/4" wedge of engraving at breech ends with gold lightning bolts - the signature on a FE Grade Fox! Made with beavertail forend which is finely checkered in point and tear drop pattern and also carved in fleur-de-lis towards action. The case hardened Deeley release is fully engraved as is forend iron, which is also hand engraved with serial number and simple scroll on the inside. Action is full coverage engraved, signed by W.H. Gough twice, once in front of the nickel plated trigger "ENG. BY W.H.G." and once on the right side of the action on top of the game scene "Gough". Action with gold inlaid stars on hinge pin, gold inlaid setter on right, pointer on left, all surrounded by perfectly executed shaded floral scroll. Top lever and top tang are fully engraved and "SAFE" in gold in front of engraved safety button. One large quail and five chicks are found on the bottom ahead of the trigger plate in game scene. Trigger plate is fully engraved in floral scroll pattern. Trigger guard is fully engraved in floral scroll and gold inlaid "E.A. GRIM MD" on bow and serial number in gold on tang. Beautifully figured fiddleback European Walnut buttstock is of capped pistol grip configuration and terminates with its original skeleton buttplate which is case hardened and fully engraved. The butt is beautifully checkered in fleur-de-lis through the wrist with ribbands and checkered side panels with fleur-de-lis pattern. Housed in a beautiful Huey oak and leather case no. 194 made for this gun. Made with single selective trigger, auto ejectors and auto safety. According to the factory records, this gun was ordered new by Dr. E.A. Grim in the exact same configuration and nearly exact same condition as today. The gun was special ordered with the skeleton buttplate, large forend, ventilated rib, gold name on trigger guard single trigger, and two ivory beads. Of note, the gun was requested to be proofed with black powder loads for 2 - 3/4" chambers - a very late black powder proofing! According to our consignor, Dr. Grim died before taking possession of the gun. His widow then gave the gun to his physician partner who had it until the time of his passing in the 1970s. From there the gun was sold to a private collector in Colorado until being consigned to our firm earlier this year. CONDITION: Extremely fine and near mint. It would be hard to imagine a gun of this age and quality remaining in a finer state of preservation than this gun. It retains virtually all of its bold original barrel blue and case colors with almost no sign of any wear at all. The gun appears to have been test fired only with only the very faintest of shell ring on the right side of the standing breech. There are a couple of very minor handling marks and impressions in the stock but it is overall near mint. The case is very good with some rubs and scratches in the leather and outer straps are missing. Simply put, when it comes to Fox shotguns, truly there are none finer than this offering. This gun is suited for the most discriminating buyer of sporting arms and is a treasure in American Gun collecting and American Gun Art at its highest form.

Ordered by famous Parker shooter and salesman Gus Peret and made in 1936 on a No.1 frame with 28" Acme steel barrels that have concave matted top rib and hand engraved rib legend with small steel front bead. Barrel flats with Parker proof marks, 1939 date code, and 1958 date code as well, which is possibly when the second set of barrels were added.

Barrel set #2 is 26" Acme with Parker proof on flats and unstruck barrel weight of 3 lbs 3 oz. These barrels do not have the reinforced forend lug which is typically found on the higher grade later guns and there is not a Remington date code noted so it is impossible to be certain these barrels were added in 1958, but reasonable to assume that.

The buttstock retains most of its 1958 Remington finish with a few minor handling marks and is sound. Buttplate retains about 30% of its factory original blue. Bores are brilliant and shiny, mechanics are fine though right ejector will not hold cock and should remedy very easily. The case is good with rubs and corner separation. Canvas cover is good with rub marks. The quality of the engraving on this gun cannot be overstated and it is as fresh as a spring daisy having not been offered for sale in more than 2 decades. One of the top BHE 16 gauge guns all around we know of. PROVENANCE: From the Carl Balderson Jr. Estate Collection, acquired from famed Parker Collector Jim Parker in 2000. Accompanied by PGCA letter.

(C) LEFEVER ARMS CO. "OPTIMUS GRADE" UPGRADE 16 BORE SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN.

Lot #2251 (Sale Order 251 of 325)

Beautiful and well done 16 bore upgrade with special serial number of 60,000. This gun now sports fluid steel barrels with matted rib with large white front bead and tops of barrels marked "LEFEVER ARMS CO. / WHITWORTH FLUID STEEL" on tops by breech ends. Breech ends of barrels are engraved with 1-1/2" wedge, butterflies sculpted on sides, and thin gold barrel bands. Splinter forend is beautifully checkered with fleur-de-lis and scrolls. Clamshell opener is near fully engraved in scroll and geometric border pattern and the forend has a carved and wave pattern triangular tip. Action is beautifully engraved very much like a real mid-serial number range Optimus would be with a gold dog on each side and gold bird on each side, large flying goose on the bottom, gold pigeon in the top lever, and a resting gold dog in the trigger guard all surrounded by well executed scroll engraving and geometric patterns as you would expect on a real Lefever Optimus grade gun. The capped pistol grip buttstock with two white inserts behind the action inside of an ebony inlay is finely checkered with wave border pattern, scrolls carved in near grip and a fine panel behind the grip. Made with gold plated single selective trigger, auto ejectors, and auto safety. The buttstock terminates with horn heel and toe plates and is checkered at center.

An authentic 16 bore Optimus (virtually impossible to source) would easily be in the $75,000 plus range today and this cataloger does not know of one changing hands for less than that in the last decade; this gun is a bargain as it is almost indistinguishable from a real Optimus Grade Gun.

(M) UNIQUE AND IMPRESSIVE SMALL GAUGE SIDELOCK EJECTOR SIX BARREL SET GAME GUN BY FAMARS WITH EXCEPT

Lot #2252 (Sale Order 252 of 325)

(1971) Six sets of barrels, two each of 20, 28, and .410 gauge, all are of dovetail construction, and fitted with slightly raised matted, ventilated ribs with ivory beads. Barrel sets are inlaid in gold with "I" "II" and "III" for tightly choked barrel sets, and "1" "2" and "3" for open choke sets. Breech ends are engraved with 1" fields of well cut rose and scroll in shaded background with corresponding 1/2" triangles at muzzles. Ends of muzzles are also scroll engraved. Each barrel set has its own dedicated semi beavertail ejector forend with corresponding numbers and numerals on forend tips. Barrel flats are stamped with 1971 Italian nitro proofs, serial numbers, and A&S logos. Coin finished sidelock action features non-automatic safety, bushed strikers, and single non-selective trigger. It is extensively and masterfully engraved and gold inlaid by the celebrated Angelo Galeazzi, whose signature appears on trigger plate. (This very gun is pictured on pages 120 and 121 of MODERN FIREARMS ENGRAVINGS by Mario Abbiatico.) This sublime engraving consists of a field of semi relief open acanthus scroll with shell and vase highlights in a dot matrix background. This superb scroll serves as a backdrop for classically inspired gold inlays of a woman's face in various poses on lockplates. The portraits on the left lock are of a young woman, while those on the right appear to be the same woman of advancing years. These portraits are surrounded and accentuated by a scattering of rose blossoms. All gold work is very lifelike due to superb use of bulino shading. (These details are not discernible in book photographs.) On front portions of lockplates, spilling down onto action, are a pair of dragons in gold flanking "FAMARS" on left and "Italy" on right in central shields. Bottom of action has more scroll and portrays a young dancing boy in gold holding a wine glass. This figure is also flanked by splashes of gold roses and dragons heads. A greenman in gold is on trigger plate in front of trigger guard bow. Single beaded trigger guard also scroll engraved, is inlaid with "B" in gold at center of bow. Serial number is in gold on tang. Fences are full relief carved in acanthus scroll with dragons heads scrolling toward tops. One cannot say enough about the quality and attention to detail in this engravers masterpiece. Well marbled and nicely fiddle figured European walnut pistol grip buttstock with Monte Carlo comb measures 14" over checkered wood butt. Sculpted drop points are behind lockplates, and well cut closely spaced fancy pattern checkering is at grip. The monogram "JEB" is inlet in gold on heel behind Monte Carlo. All six forends with Anson releases match well, and central diamonds are inlet with gold shields flanked by oak leaves engraved "FAMARS". Gun and all six barrel sets are housed in large dark leather covered case with stitched leather corners. Interior is lined in green cloth with three FAMARS shield logos printed in lid. Bottom section is semi-French fitted for action, barrels, and three sets of snap caps. Only one set (28 gauge) is present. CONDITION: Gun and barrels appear to be essentially "as new" with scant evidence of ever having been fired. Gun has been in storage a long time and congealed oil on extractors, etc. needs to be addressed. Otherwise there are only a very few very light handling marks and scratches in all wood and metal finishes, most notably some compressions in wood at top of left lockplate. On barrel set "2" ejectors are strong and in time, (others not tested due to congealed oil on extractors). Trigger appears to work well. Case is excellent with scratches and marks on exterior. Interior has some rubs. An unusual one-of-a-kind set with masterpiece engraving. MGM9.
