Lakota Ihoka Badger Society Wolf Mirror Sash 1800-

Lot #3 (Sale Order 3 of 745)

This is an outstanding Lakota Ihoka Sioux Badger Society mirror sash or collar from the 19th Century. The Iho’ka or Badger Society was one of the Aki’cita eligible societies. Aki’cita (or Akicita) has been often translated as “soldier” or “warrior” but its more accurate implied meaning is more appropriately as “guard” or “police”. These Aki’cita Societies would act as “guards” and watch over the tribe when the tribe moved from one place to another and keep watch for enemy activity when a camp was chosen. Aki’cita also acted as “civil police” to preserve order in the camp and had the right to punish offenders of tribal codes or conduct. Warriors chosen to serve as Aki’cita also had the responsibility to maintain strict control during a Buffalo hunt. The Iho’ka (Ihoka) Badger Society were considered amongst the most extreme warriors of the Aki’cita. They were said to have been started by a man who dreamed of a badger. They often took great risks against seemingly insurmountable odds, emulating the great tenacity found in the behavior of a badger, who would not think twice about going nose to nose with a bear ten times its own size and winning the fight. Among the notable insignia of this society are the society’s crooked lances wrapped in wolf skin, quirts with one serrated edge and otter fur wrist loops along with otter skin yokes which were later adorned with trade mirrors to blind their enemies. This example, unlike the other two from the same collection as this piece, shows a wolf Indian tanned and fur on hide construction with rich grey, white and black coloring showing a total of 12 round early old tin and glass trade mirrors each having red dyed plume feathers and old pink / red and blue trade ribbons. Each mirror has a nice rusty patina and worn glass. The back of the piece shows several later repairs using trade thread and the bottom edge shows blue stroud trade clothe. A cut has been originally made at the top for purpose of wearing as a collar, breast plate or sash. The piece is in very well preserved condition and dates to the 1800’s. Provenance: From the Historical Native American Artifacts and Weapons private museum collection in Paris, France. The piece measures 32” long and approximately 17" wide.

The Winchester Model 1892 was a lever-action repeating rifle designed by John Browning as a smaller, lighter version of his large-frame Model 1886, and which replaced the Model 1873 as the company's lever-action for pistol-caliber rounds. When asked by Winchester to design an improved lever action to compete with a recent Marlin offering, John Browning said he would have the prototype completed in under a month or it would be free. Within 2 weeks, Browning had a functioning prototype of the 92. Caliber's for the rifle vary and some are custom-chambered. The original rounds were the .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester centerfire rounds, followed in 1895 by the new .25-20. This rifle is in good condition, with some handling and wear from use. The top of the barrel is marked, "Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. New Haven, Conn. U.S.A. - 38 W.C.F." The barrel and frame show the correct Winchester proof marks. The rifle tang is marked, "Model 1892 - Winchester - Pat. Oct. 14. 1884". Serial Number: 12569. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

European Octagonal Black Powder Hand Cannon c.1500

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 745)

Offered in this lot is a very rare opportunity to bid on one of the oldest forms of firearms extant! This is a circa 1400s to early 1500s Hand Cannon! Truly the first type of firearm used anywhere in the world. Almost this entire genre of firearm comes from archeological sites where all such artifacts end up in museums and almost never on the collector market. This example, like nearly all in existence, is made of heavy iron that is now heavily and evenly pitted from age. Of European origin, possibly German, this uncleaned example is approximately 5 1/4” long and approximately 1 3/8” wide at the muzzle. It is octagon shaped with a 3/4” bore diameter. There is a slight flair to the rear end and a similar flair to the front end of this weapon. The touch hole for placing the lit “wick” or match is located approximately 1” from the rear. In use, these primitive firearms were typically lashed to the end of a pole. They were muzzle loaded with ball, shot or even stones and ignited through the touch hole. Usually they were used by a team of two in which one held and “aimed” the pole with loaded hand cannon attached while the second member of the team held the match or burning stick. Upon command, the match holder placed the burning end to the touch hole and set off the charge. The hand cannon is now an elusive item for any arms collection as most are not on the collector market, but rather on exhibit in castles or museums in Europe. Few have come up for sale in the last decade. One example, similar to this one, was offered at auction by Hermann Historica, Munich, 7 April, 2008. It sold for 2400 Euro. (papers showing photos of this item and sale included with this similar hand cannon) Probably there are only a handful of these early firearms in private collections. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester 1894 Octagonal 38-55 Lever Action Rifle

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 745)

Included in this lot is an antique Winchester Model 1894 octagon barrel rifle in rare and desirable .38-55 caliber with the extremely early serial number 22385, which according to the Winchester records housed at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, indicates a manufacture date of 1897. When the Model 1894 rifle was introduced in late1894 it was chambered only in the black powder loaded calibers of .32-40 (.32 caliber bullet with 40 grains of black powder) or .38-55. Once Winchester perfected barrel steel that would withstand the new smokeless powder pressures along with copper jacketed bullets instead of lead slugs, the revolutionary, and still popular, .30 WCF (also known as the .30-30 Winchester cartridge) was introduced. This occurred sometime in 1895-1896. In 1897 Winchester was still producing some .32-40 and .38-55 rifles, as these were still the accepted rounds of the day, but the trend was to the new smokeless powder cartridges and the .32-40 and .38-55 began to see limited production numbers. To find one of the very early production octagon rifles in .38-55 caliber is very difficult. The features of this fine rifle have been verified by the Cody, Wyoming Firearms Museum at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center which contains the original Winchester shipping records. Members of the museum may contact the records department for specific Winchester rifle data. This was done with this rifle. The original “Factory Letter” from the museum that accompanies Model 1894 with serial number 22385 was sent by the records department and states that this rifle had its serial number applied on April, 11, 1897. It further verifies that it originally left the Winchester factory as a rifle, caliber .38-55, with octagon barrel, plain trigger, and was received in the warehouse on June 17, 1897 and shipped from the warehouse on October 1, 1897 to order number 17988. This rifle shows fine aged blue on the standard 26” length octagon barrel and lovely aged soft blue on the full magazine. The barrel retains all the clear and sharp early Winchester address stampings. The upper tang behind the hammer also retains the correct very early markings “MODEL 1894” over “WINCHESTER” over “PAT. AUG. 21, 1894.” The receiver reveals a lovely dark aged plum/blue appearance and fine blue on the loading gate. The bolt on top of the receiver shows a nice aged blue also. Sights consist of the original standard buckhorn rear sight complete with intact elevation bar and a bead front sight. The walnut stock and forend are nicely reddish-brown hallmark Winchester color. The stock and forend show good wood to metal fit, indicating that the stock has not been sanded or refinished. The forend shows normal handling and some light saddle wear on the bottom while the butt stock shows heavy weathering probably from being carried in a saddle scabbard with the butt stock exposed to the elements. The action is tight and the bore condition is excellent and bright. The Model 1894 was a popular rifle with lawmen, sportsmen and especially with the Klondike Gold Seekers in Alaska beginning in 1898. Many consider this Jonathan Browning designed rifle to be the finest and most modern tubular magazine lever action rifle Winchester ever produced. A rare opportunity to acquire a rare caliber, classic, very early production and historically significant Winchester with very fine appearance. This rifle recently came out of Arizona. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Early Winchester 1886 .40-82 Lever Action Rifle

Lot #109 (Sale Order 109 of 745)

Offered for sale is a very early Winchester 1886 octagon rifle manufactured during the first five years of production in the rare and desirable .40-82 caliber, low serial number 54168, made 1891. A scarce and desirable western big game chambering in the Model 1886, the .40-82 cartridge was considered a powerful, flat-shooting round based on the long .45-90 cartridge case gradually necked down to take .40 caliber bullets. John Browning designed the big Model 1886 to be the strongest and most potent lever action rifle of the day. The standard and correct 26” octagon barrel with full magazine tube shows a deep and rich aged blue finish and retains excellent Winchester markings that include: “MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.” The upper tang is marked with the earliest model designation and states simply, “MODEL 1886.” The bolt located on the top of the receiver also shows a deep and very aged blue finish. The receiver case colors have faded to an uncleaned gray/brown appearance. The action is fully functional and tight. Even the bore is surprisingly bright and fine with good rifling all the way through. Further, this early 1886 is fitted with a buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and a small blade/bead front sight. The top of the octagon barrel ahead of the receiver is correctly stamped with the caliber designation “40-82.” The 1886 in .40-82 chambering was very popular in the American West where it was considered a powerful enough cartridge for the largest game encountered plus having the advantage of being flat shooting enough for long shots at distant targets. This is an early and seriously powerful frontier rifle in very good and uncleaned condition that recently came out of Arizona. It would be a fine addition to any Winchester or Old West collection. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Crow War Shirt "Red Tears" by Cheri Cappello 2004

Available in this lot is a Lakota Crow Native American Indian tanned hide war shirt, crafted by the famous Cheri Cappello.

The beadwork is done in panels, as an original 19th Century Warrior’s shirt would, with a background color of blue and geometric patterns in cobalt, corn yellow and red. The connection and deep reverence that Cheri feels for our Native people began as a child. Cheri was born and raised on a large cattle and sheep ranch in the Colorado high country. Many hours were spent exploring the ancient encampments and burial grounds on the family’s ranch. She collected artifacts and arrowheads while working the ranch. Her respect and kinship grew through the years and were fueled with education and involvement with the Native people. At the same time Cheri learned the art of running trap lines and tanning and preparing skins and furs from her grandfather. Her early years also found her hunting, fishing and living the western ranch lifestyle. This taught her the value of nature, animal life and the bond that runs between man and the land. She learned the importance of balance between these two. It seemed only natural that Cheri would create art that would demonstrate her love for the Native Americans, the land, and a lost way of life. Each one of her pieces is a one-of-a-kind museum quality work. They are historically true to the 1800’s circa war shirts, wedding dresses, and child’s ceremonial works of art. These striking works are created by hand using elk, buffalo and buckskin. They are painstakingly brought to life with fine beadwork and authentic adornments originally found on period pieces. The result is a powerful statement of our Native American culture. You can find Cheri’s work in public and private collections across the country and in Europe, Africa, and Australia. She is represented by many fine galleries and has won numerous awards at prestigious national and international shows. Cheri’s artwork is her way of honoring and demonstrating her respect for our Native American heritage. Some of her most recent accolades include Peppertree Art Show 2004,2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. 30th Anniversary participant. Santa Ynez, California Women Artists of the West 2003 and 2004 and 2005 International Invitational Show. Artists Choice Award and Mixed Media 1st Place Award. People’s Choice Manhattan Arts International Award of Excellence. People’s Choice Award Jackson Hole Fine Arts Festival Featured Horizon Artist 2004, 2005, 2006,2008. Featured artist for Former Texas Ranger Foundation Gala 2005 ,2006, 2007.and 2008. This example is in excellent original condition and comes with the original steel curved display mount which allows the war shirt to display so beautifully. This piece originally cost nearly $10,000 and is similar, but a more traditional war shirt with more detail, than the example our company sold in our August 2018 sale for $5,300. The war shirt measures 60" wide from the tips of each sleeve, 42" long from the top of the shirt to the bottom of the fringe, and 24" across the chest, underneath each armpit.

She learned the importance of balance between these two. It seemed only natural that Cheri would create art that would demonstrate her love for the Native Americans, the land, and a lost way of life. Each one of her pieces is a one-of-a-kind museum quality work. They are historically true to the 1800’s circa war shirts, wedding dresses, and child’s ceremonial works of art. These striking works are created by hand using elk, buffalo and buckskin. They are painstakingly brought to life with fine beadwork and authentic adornments originally found on period pieces. The result is a powerful statement of our Native American culture. You can find Cheri’s work in public and private collections across the country and in Europe, Africa, and Australia. She is represented by many fine galleries and has won numerous awards at prestigious national and international shows. Cheri’s artwork is her way of honoring and demonstrating her respect for our Native American heritage. Some of her most recent accolades include Peppertree Art Show 2004,2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. 30th Anniversary participant. Santa Ynez, California Women Artists of the West 2003 and 2004 and 2005 International Invitational Show. Artists Choice Award and Mixed Media 1st Place Award.

The lot features an original Nathan Starr Model 1816 flintlock musket marked, “US STARR” on the side of the receiver lock plate, “MIDDtn CONN 1837” on the back of the receiver lock plate behind the hammer, “1837”on the backstrap of the barrel to frame, “US NWP P (the “P” is surrounded by a sun or seal like hallmark) on the top of the barrel. The piece was later converted from flintlock to percussion hammer. The Model 1816 flintlock musket was the standard of American Infantrymen from 1816 to 1840, manufactured by Nathan Starr, and was later converted to percussion in 1861 by the Newark firm Hewes 7 Philips under a federal or state Civil War military contract. This piece was likely used to defend early Forts from the American Indian, then later converted to percussion for use during the American Civil War, then issued for use again to defend Forts from the American Indian where the piece was presumably lost in battle from the US Indian Wars Infantryman and commandeered by the American Indian. The piece was then altered for use on horseback or close combat into a hand pistol, with the stock being shortened at the frame trigger guard end and the barrel being cut down to 11 ½ inches in length. The piece was recovered by a long time Montanan family during the late 19th to early 20th Century where it was on display in their Livingston, Montana Paradise Valley estate for many decades. If this piece could tell its stories it was possibly tell of dire battles during the early days of the American West, the California Gold rush, Indian Fort Battles, the Civil War, Battle of the Little Bighorn and so many other battles that a piece such as this could have been used and later used against the same type of soldier that carried it. Overall the piece shows a worn well used finish with dark slightly pitted but still solid metal finish, missing trigger and seized hammer, very worn wood, slight separation from barrel to wood, but still displays well and is truly a museum piece. Overall measures 20 1/8”L. The musket was originally chambered in .69 caliber.

For your consideration is this two volume first edition of "In Darkest Africa" by Henry M. Stanley originating from 1890.

This account contains the harrowing details of Stanley’s journey through the nearly impenetrable Ituri, or Great Congo, Forest, which he traversed not once but three times over the course of his travels. The conditions were brutal; sometimes the expedition could achieve no more than three or four hundred yards an hour.

The volumes display deluxe leather covers with gilt gold lettering. The condition of these books are fair with some wear to the leather spine and corners of the cover. The measurements of this pair of books are 9" x 6 1/2" for each book.
