The barrel is crisply serialized and matching to the receiver, and is marked with a softened ''SS2 / (Death's Head)'' and ''01 / (Death's Head)''. The bolt assembly, bolt stop, triggerguard, rear triggerguard screw, floorplate, follower, and upper barrel band are numbered to the rifle, with the numbers on the bolt handle appearing double struck, and Imperial proofs are stamped on the bolt, floorplate, triggerguard, bolt stop, and upper barrel band; the lower barrel band is numbered to a different rifle. The rifle is sighted with standard barleycorn front sight and leaf rear, and appears to function well mechanically. These early SS rifles were converted from older Gew 98s, as they were outside the normal procurement chain. A solid example of these infamous SS-converted rifles. (14B9736-40) {C&R} (2000/3000)

Scarce German Late War Unfinished K98k Sniper Rifle by Gustloff Werke

Lot #1057 (Sale Order 58 of 750)

serial #859, 8mm Mauser, 24'' barrel with a very good lightly frosted bore with strong rifling. The metal surfaces of this ''bcd / 4'' coded rifle retain about 75% arsenal reapplied blue finish with the triggerguard, floorplate, and lower barrel band cleaned to gunmetal, oxidation staining on the floorplate, the thick side receiver toned to a dark gray patina, the breech area of the barrel toned to a brown patina with pinprick pitting, pinprick pitting on the rear sight beneath the finish, and scattered light handling marks; the bolt has toned to gray with light to moderate pitting. The laminated hardwood stock is in very good condition as lightly cleaned with an about 2 1/2'' lamination crack behind the receiver, an about 2'' crack behind the triggerguard traveling along the left side of the pistolgrip, a tight 1/4'' crack in the nose of the handguard, a light ding on the right side by the toe line, and scattered light handling marks. The buttstock is marked with three faint waffenamts on the right side, the numbers faded and illegible, and the stock and the handguard are numbered to different rifles. The coding on the receiver remains crisp, a softened ''749'' waffenamt is on top and a crisp ''1'' is on the right, both correct. The expected firing proofs on the barrel and receiver are absent, and the serial number is oddly on the right side of the barrel instead of the left. The bolt is unmarked save a small ''1'' on the underside of the handle, the bolt stop is marked with a ''77'' waffenamt, the triggerguard is marked ''d'' and the floorplate ''1''; the remaining parts are unmarked and un-numbered. The lower barrel band appears to be a milled replacement, while the upper is the expected stamped. The special thick receiver is drilled and tapped three times for mounting of the side rail, but the final two pin holes were never completed and the rifle was issued as a standard infantry weapon. Included with the rifle is a 12 1/2'' cleaning rod. A rare opportunity for the WWII rifle collector. (14B9736-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The bolt body and safety are serialized and matching to the rifle, but the bolt shroud is un-numbered. The barrel bands are numbered to the rifle and are milled instead of stamped, and the triggerguard and floorplate are numbered and matching and marked ''byf''. The rear sight is marked with three faint ''WaA623'' waffenamts, and the front sight is properly marked with a ''77'' waffenamt.

The barrel flat is marked in cursive script ''T Hobbs'' with small floral decorations on the top and diagonal flats. The steel liner features a short 3/8'' counter bore for ease of quick loading (popularized in the 90s by Thompson Center as their ''QLA'' but used for years prior by custom makers). The arm features largely brass hardware elsewhere, most notably the stepped lockplate with small teat at rear. It features an iron swan neck cock with faceted pan and bridled frizzen, the frizzen spring lightly chiseled at its tail, the lockplate also marked ''TH''. There are a faceted ramrod thimble and tailpipe with a rather nice wide bow triggerguard with a silver scallop shell decoration and dovetail tang front extension. Left side of the stock shows a wide open flowing foliate scroll sideplate with small silver decoration, the nosecap as well is silver and there is a nice teardrop-shaped buttcap with light floral engraving, also of silver. The curly maple stock rates excellent with sharp edges with light dropper points at the rear of each stock flat and a loose open flourish of carved scroll to the rear of the tang. Retains all its original varnish and shows lovely fiddleback figure its full-length with an un-engraved silver oval monogram plate atop the wrist. The arm functions well mechanically and was very nicely made. Purportedly Thomas ''Tommy'' Hobbs was one of the ''H's'' in ''H&H Barrels'', a firm he started with Mr. Hoppy Hopkins. Purportedly they were both excellent shooters and there are a couple of Mr. Hobbs rifles or pistols out there, all seem to be of excellent quality. Sadly he is no longer with us as he passed away due to illness some time ago, but this flintlock is quality made throughout and wanting for nothing in attention to detail.

German P.38 ac 41-Coded Semi-Auto Pistol by Walther

Lot #1081 (Sale Order 82 of 750)

serial #2936g, 9mm, 5" barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of minor frosting and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this attractive ac 41-coded pistol retain about 95% original high polish blue with most of the loss due to silvering along the high edges of the slide and left side muzzle, the high edges and slide cover plate also showing a few very minor pinprick pits that go largely unnoticed along with a couple errant freckles and more minor handling marks.

One un-numbered magazine with two Walther Waffenamts on the spine is included and the action seems to function well mechanically. A very handsome early war Walther made just before the changeover to the "military blue" finish. (13B9807-358) {C&R} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (1000/1500)

All markings remain crisp and clear with Schwarzlose machine gun logo on the right side frame, Berlin address in script on the left and "(Crown) / B / U" commercial proofs. It appears the final digit of the serial number was mistakenly stamped as a "9" before being struck-over with a "0"; indeed the other numbered parts are clearly "1060". The checkered horn grips are scratch-numbered to the gun and remain in about very good condition showing some scattered small holes from insect damage, a couple tiny drying cracks and minor handling marks. One original magazine is included showing moderate wear and some dings along the top rear edge.

Strangely the cocking piece is mismatched numbered "81" but the remaining serialized parts are matching and stamped with the appropriate "(Eagle) / 56" Waffenamts.

One early-style blue-bodied aluminum base magazine is included that shows some moderate edge wear along the base and is numbered matching to the pistol along with a "2".

The fore-stock is matching the receiver and the stock disc is missing. The nosecap and bolt are also matching, the magazine cutoff is intact and the action seems to function well mechanically. One un-numbered original magazine showing a small dent on its base is included.

German P.08 Luger S/42 Pistol by Mauser

Lot #1098 (Sale Order 99 of 750)

serial #5909n, 9mm, 4" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1939-dated pistol retain about 92% original blue with most of the loss due to light high edge and operational wear, some scattered light handling marks and thinning along the gripstraps. The extractor and ejector have taken on the usual deep plum tone and all markings remain crisp and clear with proper droop wing eagle firing proofs and "(Eagle) / 63" Waffenamts. The checkered walnut grips area stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in very fine condition showing a few lightly chipped points, some small spots of mild discoloration and their fit to the frame is excellent. The stock lug has been lightly ground-off and the sights slightly modified, the rear sight neatly cut into a u-notch and the front sight with a small silver bead brazed on, the work fairly well-executed overall. All of the serialized parts are matching including the grooved firing pin and the action seems to function well mechanically. One original bright-bodied aluminum base magazine is included numbered "980i" with droop wing "(Eagle) / 63" Waffenamt. A very respectable S/42 Luger with some small state-side modifications.

British Webley MK VI Double Action Revolver

Lot #1099 (Sale Order 100 of 750)

serial #155578, 455 Webley, 6" barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing one small area of light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1915-dated revolver have mostly toned to a mottled gray patina mixing with areas of mild brown and showing some scattered light handling marks. The recoil shield shows mild straw color and the trigger, hammer and latch retain remnants of original black enamel finish. The screw heads show light slot wear and all markings remain intact and strong showing proper military proofs along with British commercial export proofs and no import marks. The black checkered plastic grips are nice quality reproductions taking on something of a blue-gray tone under bright light and remain in near excellent condition showing a few light handling marks. There is a slight gap at the top edge of the left panel but they otherwise fit the frame quite nicely. The latch spring shows a small crack forming at its bottom rear leg and it is somewhat weak but this should be a relatively simple fix as replacement springs are available. Barrel-to-frame fit shows just a hint of mild play, the barrel and cylinder are matching the frame and the cylinder remains in its original chambering. The action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. This old warhorse shows a lot of character but remains a desirable example in its original chambering and may make for a good shooter. (13B9897-77) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Harrington & Richardson Model 1880 C-Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #1100 (Sale Order 101 of 750)

serial #1182, 10 ga, 30" damascus barrels with bright very fine to near excellent bores, the right barrel showing one very tiny ding and a hint of minor oxidation. The barrels of this attractive shotgun show strong swirling damascus patterns throughout toning mostly to a medium plum-brown patina with some scattered areas of old minor oxidation staining and spots of pinprick pitting about 4 1/2" back from the muzzle. The barrel rib is crisply marked with Harrington & Richardson's address and the dolls head extension shows some nice tasteful engraving, the bottom flat of the lug also with some nice diamond embellishments. The action retains about 90% vibrant case-hardened colors still retaining much of their protective lacquer with loss to due silvering and muting to a pleasant silvery gray patina along the high edges and bottom also with a little minor freckling and pinprick pitting along the left fence. The action is embellished with light bordering and the water table is crisply marked "ANSON & DEELEY / PAT. FEB. 1. 1876." The top lever, bottom plate and triggerguard retain about 75-80% original bright blue with most loss due to flaking along the top lever and areas toning to a pleasant gray-brown patina overall. All screw heads are neatly engraved with geometric patterns. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend with hard rubber tip insert remain in near excellent condition showing a very tiny chip at the rear corner on either side of the forend, a minor thin drying crack at the heel and some scattered light handling marks. The forend checkering shows a little bit of wear while the buttstock retains much of its original finish with crisp checkering, nice edges and excellent metal-to-wood fit. Length-of-pull is 14 1/8" with drops of 1 3/4" and 3 1/4". Lock-up is solid with the barrels showing the faintest sliver of light between breech and standing breech, the top lever rests slightly right of center and the action seems to function well mechanically. These shotguns represent an important step in American arms manufacturing as they were the earliest boxlock double made in the country with H&R's factory being directly instructed by Anson & Deeley regarding their manufacture. Less than 2200 were manufactured and their British heritage is certainly evident in the quality of construction. A very fine example that would make an excellent addition to any comprehensive shotgun collection. (13B9710-19) {ANTIQUE} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (1000/1500)

British Webley MK VI Double Action Revolver

Lot #1106 (Sale Order 107 of 750)

serial #437341, 455 Webley, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore showing the faintest hint of mild frosting in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1919-dated revolver retain about 92% arsenal-refurbished matte blue showing some mild high edge wear, some light pitting along the edges and sides of the barrel and the gripstraps and triggerguard toning slightly to a deep plum-brown patina. The smaller parts retain strong arsenal black enamel finish and some of the markings have softened somewhat from the refurbishment but remain completely legible. The arm is not import-marked or British export-proofed. The black checkered plastic grips are nice quality reproductions taking on something of a blue-gray tone under bright light and remain in near excellent condition showing a few light handling marks and some slight gaps along the top edges. The breech face on this example has been relieved back a few millimeters likely to accommodate 45 ACP on moon clips but a correctly-sized recoil shield has been reinstalled to correct this, the cylinder otherwise remains unmolested in its original 455 chambering. The barrel and cylinder are matching the frame, the cylinder arsenal-renumbered to match, there is a small gap along the top between frame and topstrap but barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically with excellent timing and lock-up. Given the features of this example it seems mostly likely that is was arsenal-overhauled for service in World War Two and then brought back to this country after the war and "gunsmith-converted" before being restored with a correct recoil shield. This would account for the lack of import marks or export proofs and also the unusual method of cartridge conversion not seen on the later importer jobs. Still a very respectable example for the martial collector. (13B9897-76) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Included is a metal reinforced case painted black that rates very fine showing some light flaking, minor staining and handling marks. It is marked in large white paint stenciling "GPD" on the lid and "LINE GUN" along the front. There is a small sticker on the bottom that seems to indicate the case was taken into inventory in September 1941, rather earlier than the gun itself. The leather handle shows some moderate wear and the catches remain intact. Included are ten brass rods, a key, hardwood winding spindle, eight 45-70 blank cartridges in original box that shows moderate wear overall and two canisters complete with lines, one measuring about 3 1/2" in diameter and the other 4 1/4", they show some scattered light oxidation staining and do not fit the more modern housing currently installed on the gun. The gun itself will not fit into the case with the cannister attached. An attractive line throwing ensemble. (13A9710-69) {MODERN} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (1000/1500)

The grip frame and barrel are original finish and the frame and cylinder are re-applied blue. The grips are unmarked smooth rosewood stocks that rate excellent. The gun has the normal features of a "second-genny" revolver but a Christy Gun Works floating firing pin was installed on the frame and the original hammer modified to accommodate the firing pin. The main purpose of this firing pin was to prevent blow back from high pressure loads. The altered hammer configuration is similar to the New Model Ruger Blackhawks, although it does not have the transfer bar safety and should still only be loaded with five-rounds. An interesting conversion from "yesteryear" that will make a nice change-up for your collection. (8A9740-44) {C&R} (1500/2000)

The parts are mostly Springfield Armory with a Winchester hammer and a Harrington & Richardson operating rod. This is an overall excellent condition rebuilt M1 that would make a terrific shooter.

W.W. Greener FH-25 Grade Boxlock Double Ejectorgun

Lot #1210 (Sale Order 211 of 750)

serial #61916, 20 ga., 28'' barrels choked about improved modified and modified with excellent bores. The barrels retain some of their original blue, but are mostly mottled brown that is fading to gray toward the chambers. The rib is marked ''W.W. Greener Maker 63 Haymarket London. Works St Mary's Square Birmingham''. The nicely factory engraved frame and forearm iron feature light foliate patterns and are overall a mottled gray and brown with some of the original case color still visible along the watertable and protected areas. The checkered walnut stocks rate about very good. The splinter forend features a horn tip and has a 4'' long crack with chip along its left side. The pistolgrip stock has light dings and handling marks along with some nicely added finish that has some areas of light flaking. There are a few small cracks and a Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad has been added to the butt. The buttstock has a 14'' length of pull with drops at 1 5/8'' and 2 3/4" and neutral cast. The frame locks up tight and the lever comes to rest at center. The action appears to function as it should and the ejectors operate correctly. This is a very nice small frame 20 bore double that has seen some use but would likely provide many hours of enjoyable upland field time. (4A9861-2) {C&R} (1000/1500)

New York State Contract Flintlock Musket by L. Pomeroy

Lot #1211 (Sale Order 212 of 750)

.69 cal., 42'' barrel with an oxidized bore. Fearing an outbreak of war with Britain and with the desire to better outfit her militia, the state of New York, according to page 244 of Moller's American Military Shoulder Arms Vol. II, contracted with Lemuel Pomeroy of Pittsfield MA to deliver 1,000 stands of arms in 1809. The metal surfaces of this original flint musket are toning to an oxidized brown patina with a few tiny dings around the muzzle and a few topical chips along the top of the barrel. The brass front sight blade has aged to a dark mustard patina and the detachable brass pan displays light verdigris. The touchhole was slightly enlarged during the period of use with a corresponding step down in the pan where it contacts the barrel. The lockplate is marked ''L.POMEROY'' ahead of the cock while the breech of the barrel is correctly marked with Massachusetts proofs ''P M'', inspector's initials ''S.J.'' the date ''1810'' and a softened ''SNY'' denoting New York ownership. The smooth black walnut straight grip stock rates fair-good with an 8'' flexing crack in the right wood line of the forend, a short flexing crack ahead of the lockplate, two finishing nails in the rear upper edge of the lock relief, a chip in the toeline and other various signs of military service. The left stock flat retains the remnants of the characteristic scalloped-edge circle inspector's cartouche. The sling swivels are no longer present, a correct button-head ramrod is included and while strong, the action will need mechanical attention as the notches are worn. Included is a lightly oxidized period socket bayonet with unbridged L-shaped mortise and 15 1/2'' long blade which mounts well to the bayonet lug and barrel. It is estimated that no more than a few hundred muskets were manufactured by Pomeroy for the state of New York. (23B9909-2) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Fine EM Reilly Pinfire Double Shotgun

Lot #1212 (Sale Order 213 of 750)

serial #13,033, 20 ga., 29'' barrels with bright very fine bores showing remnants of some light scattered oxidation and light remnants of pitting, the left tube showing an old professionally raised ding about 8'' from the muzzle. The barrels show lovely star damascus pattern their full-length with a bit of fading nearer the muzzles, a bit of very light oxidation and very light pinprick pitting at right of muzzles. The rib is neatly marked ''EM Reilly & Co. New Oxford St., London'' and shows a bit of nice scroll at its rear with small engraved ''explosions'' around the ignition pin holes at the breech. The frame and back action lockplates are primarily a pewter gunmetal gray patina showing some trace case colors in the protected areas, more prominent on the left plate. They feature tight English scroll on the radii of the frame with gamebirds on the lockplates, each also maker marked in-turn and with nice scroll at their rears and the sides of the hammer; the hammer noses are neatly engraved in a dolphin head motif. The long tang triggerguard shows some nice engraving with solid blue on the bow beneath the opening lever, the long upper tang as well with the same nice quality scroll and a small gamebird. The length of pull to the smooth steel shotgun buttplate is 14 1/4'' with a bit of light scroll at the top of the heel. The English walnut buttstock rates very good to perhaps near fine with some nice grain figure and coarse checkering and the expected light dings and handling marks that come from the years. The splinter forend is near fully checkered and has a small horn tip insert and a tiny flake at left side rear near the iron. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and in time for the most part, the right hammer sits just a tiny bit rear of the left, the right side small raised edge flare to the rear of the standing breeches shows a small chip. The screws show nice slots with the bottom lever screw slot showing just a tiny bit of wear and could easily be dressed. The arm is tight on face and comes in a nice walnut case with brass corners and Reilly makers label on the interior. The green baize is an older replacement and is rather nice, the case likely being adapted to this arm. There is a nice nickel oil bottle, a maple wad ram, some rod end accessories and three paper 20 bore pinfire shells which fit the chambers very well. A very handsome EM Reilly shotgun that likely could still go afield once a few more shells are secured. (39894-3) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)

Unmarked Japanese Tanegashima Matchlock Carbine

Lot #1213 (Sale Order 214 of 750)

About .30 caliber, 27'' part round brass barrel with an oxidized bore. This is a rather interesting smallbore carbine, these arms usually being somewhat longer and of larger caliber, this example likely made for a person of smaller-stature or perhaps even a well-heeled youngster. The barrel has a somewhat cannon-belled muzzle with small raised medials behind, there being a simple raised sighting block with small bead and square sighting rear block with a simple groove cut into it. The lockplate, guard and balance of the furniture are all brass with a nice ochre-goldenrod patina throughout. Strangely unadorned, we are used to numerous inlays, this example being very spartan in character with a chrysanthemum around the left-side slow match hole near the butt. The Asian hardwood stock rates very good with strong original varnish and the overall very light dings and handling marks that come from the years, showing a repaired crack from the center of the stock near the rear band to the left stock flat, it is unobtrusive and well-done and there are a few scattered drying cracks here and there. The attendant parts seem to pivot as-designed however the sear does not catch and the ball trigger does not therefore release it, but these are very simple mechanisms on their interior and this would likely be an easy repair if one wished. The overall length is 38 1/2'', there is a bamboo dowel within the ramrod recess and the arm is likely more contemporary than antique. A very interesting ''example'' piece for the primitive arms collector. (39770-4) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Fine Stevens Lord No. 36 Target Pistol

Lot #1214 (Sale Order 215 of 750)

serial #1357, 22 LR, 10'' part octagon part round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel is an even mix of deep gray-blue original blue and a flaked smooth plum brown with wear to pewter at the muzzle and some light handling marks on the left and under sides of the barrel. The iron frame remains quite nice retaining perhaps 98% original nickel, the few tiny flaked spots a plum brown, and the triggerguard similar with perhaps a few more flakes closer to 97%. Both the hammer and trigger show some nice pale fire temper blue, the spur of the hammer with light oxidation staining across its top surface, lightly flaked to plum with a few spots of very light pitting. The checkered walnut grips rate excellent and are pencil-numbered to the gun and both the frame and barrel are numbered alike. The original bead front sight is in place as is the semi-buckhorn step-adjustable rear, the rear with some lovely blue. Lockup is tight, and the mechanism functions as-designed and the arm actually has a very lovely trigger. A fine No. 36 Lord pistol that would likely still shoots X's all day long. (39894-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Unmarked Pennsylvania Percussion Swivel Breech Buck and Ball Rifle

Lot #1215 (Sale Order 216 of 750)

.50 cal. rifled bore and .45 cal. smoothbore, 35 1/2'' octagon barrels, each with oxidized bores. The barrels are a very pleasing plum brown with sparsely scattered light oxidation staining and a few areas of light pitting, toning a bit to pewter on the sharp edges of the flats. Each barrel has a nice German silver front sight in a shallow dovetail with a flat-topped u-notch rear and there are dual brass ramrod thimbles between each barrel, with 6'' ramrod receptacles extending from each breech. The back action lock is ''JOSh GOULCHER'' marked and has very light engraving with dual game birds, it and the hammer a pleasing plum brown patina, the engraving having softened from the years, and the hammer showing a very old crack at its root; it is however stable. The arm features a faceted brass triggerguard with single rearward spur, segmented about halfway through the bow, the forward portion reciprocating to lock or release the barrels so they may be pivoted. There is a simple brass sideplate, rear release patchbox, simple brass toeplate and brass crescent butt with faceted tang. The curly maple stock rates about very good as lightly refinished a number of years ago, retaining the minor dings and handling marks beneath with a nice ribbed square-bottomed cheekpiece. The wood has shrunk a bit in some areas and with a 1'' chip missing at lower left front and it shows lovely fiddleback figure its full-length. The lock seems to function well mechanically and the barrels pivot and operate properly as-designed, at this point they are a bit loose with the frame exhibiting some play, antique ramrods are included. While unmarked, these were fairly common arms throughout Pennsylvania and portions of New York State, this remains an interesting and attractive example overall. (39770-6) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

British Sea Service Pattern ''Brown Bess'' Musket

Lot #1216 (Sale Order 217 of 750)

.78 cal., 38 1/2'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel is a very pleasing soft plum brown patina its full-length and features a top-mounted bayonet lug-sighting stud, the nosecap beginning 4 1/2'' from the muzzle. The appropriate British proofs are at the left radius of the barrel and there is a good deal of pitting around the touch hole, adding to the honest character of this interesting arm. The lockplate is appropriately ''Tower'' and ''(crown)'' marked and border engraved with a bridled frizzen, showing the appropriate wear marks and light pitting that come from an issued and used arm. There are two funneled thimbles, the tailpipe fairly simple and with a small chip missing out of its leading edge, the triggerguard rather sea service-pattern like but with a rearward grip swirl as seen on the New Land Pattern sergeants carbines and similar 1830s-era Bess conversions; the buttplate is very sea service in character. The stock rates about very good with the expected overall light dings and handling marks and a small swell at the tailpipe, with a crack through the left stock flat, a couple more to the rear of the dovetail tang and a small chip missing above the lock, the butt with an arsenal repair. The lock functions properly mechanically and there is a later iron ramrod included. A very good example overall of one of the last flintlock ''Brown Bess'' muskets to be used by the realm, the advent of percussion arms quickly hailing their demise as viable military arms. (39770-3) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Interesting Antique English Butt Reservoir Air Rifle

Lot #1217 (Sale Order 218 of 750)

About .42 cal., 30'' round barrel with a very fine bore showing a few scattered very light pits, but bright for the most part, with 20 groove rifling. Really a rather nice air rifle, completely unmarked but appearing very English in character and mirroring other British examples of the period. The barrel shows a nice plum damascus twist pattern its full-length, primarily visible under bright light as it has toned somewhat from the years, with remnants of some of very light oxidation near the muzzle. The arm is equipped with a scant silver blade front sight and a shallow v-notch rear and transitions to octagonal at the breech. The heavy iron frame is now primarily a pleasing untouched smooth plum brown patina with tight English scroll on both of the frame flats left and right in about 40% coverage, the right flat with some strong color case-hardening in the area beneath the pivoting ''hammer'', perhaps 30% of it remaining, the balance a lovely untouched patina. The top cover of the tap-action shows light open flowing scroll as does the plum-tone bow of the triggerguard. The arm features a very nice shagreen-covered heavy iron butt reservoir, the front collar a plum patina showing light tool marks overall. The shagreen remains very nice overall showing a few spots of light drying which have subsequently crackled or flaked, but the seam is very good along the bottom, only a small 4'' section separating along the toeline, with separation of the seam around the periphery of the butt, with the covering remaining adhered, a 1'' flake missing at the toe and a smaller spot on the butt near the heel. The arm features a left side loop which allows access to the pivoting breech and a right side ''safety'' cutoff loop which will preclude the plunger from operating, so no air is released from the reservoir. The mechanism seems to function properly as-designed and there is a more modern leather seal present between the frame and the butt reservoir. The arm takes down into three portions, barrel, reservoir and the frame itself, and likely came cased originally with pump and other necessities. A very attractive British butt reservoir air rifle overall. (39770-5) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

British Double Barrel Percussion Pistol by Charltons

Lot #1218 (Sale Order 219 of 750)

.67 cal, 6 3/4" twist steel barrels with very good bores showing some scattered light pitting. The barrels show evidence of an old cleaning and are toning to a silvery pewter patina with scattered remnants of smoothed-over old pitting and generous plum-brown twist patterns throughout.

The undersides of the barrels are stamped with London black powder proofs. The back action lockplates are a mild gray showing some silvery case-hardening in the protected areas, the right lockplate and hammer with a bit more noticeable old pitting.

The triggerguard has a small foliate finial and retains a healthy amount of original bright blue in the protected areas flaking to gray-brown and showing nice foliate embellishments, the ramrod tailpipe also showing some flakes of original bright blue. There is an un-engraved silver monogram plate behind the upper tang and silver oval wedge escutcheons. The checkered English walnut stock with horn nosecap remains in very fine condition as very carefully cleaned long ago and showing a little bit of added antique finish that now shows some faint crazing. There are a few tiny unobtrusive chips around the edges of the left lockplate and a small repair and slightly thinned area at the left edge near the wedge but the stock otherwise maintains a very handsome appearance and the flattop diamond point checkering with mullered borders remains in near excellent condition. The swiveling and rotating ramrod assembly is intact and the locks seem to function well mechanically. An attractive and fine quality British big bore double barrel pistol for the antique arms collector. (13B9795-10) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Lot #1240 (Sale Order 241 of 750)

.69 cal. worn to .75 cal., 46'' barrel with an oxidized bore.

The brass front sight blade displays a dark mustard patina. The smooth walnut straight grip stock rates fair-good with the stock broken through at the grip which is repaired with two screws through the top of the grip along with various other scattered cracks, chips and wear from the years but otherwise remains solid. There is a chip missing from each side of the bottom of the frizzen, the original bell-shaped slings swivels are intact, a correct button-head ramrod with threaded end is included, and while the mainspring screw is missing the action remains strong and crisp.

Litschert Spot Shot scope in very good condition with clear optics and lens covers with an open sight mount on the left side of the receiver and includes a Parker Hale PH25 micrometer aperture rear sight and PH1 tunnel front sight with insert.

German P.08 Luger byf-Coded Pistol by Mauser

Lot #1275 (Sale Order 276 of 750)

serial #2590y, 9mm, 4" barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing some faint frosting and a few tiny pinprick pits in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 41-dated pistol retain about 80-85% original blue showing some moderate high edge and operational wear and most of the loss due to a few small areas of moderate pitting on the right frame rail, light pitting along the backstrap, frontstrap thinning and overall handling marks. The ejector is taking on the usual plum patina and all markings remain intact and strong. There is a curious small drilled and tapped hole at the right forward edge of the triggerguard and the stock lug has been ground down. The hole appears to serve no purpose and does not affect function. The checkered walnut grips remain in about very good condition showing a tiny sliver missing behind the safety, moderate darkening from oxidation leaching on the right panel and some overall light dings. The right panel is somewhat loose and both panels are un-numbered but show strong "(Eagle) / 655" Waffenamts on their interiors. The rear toggle pin is mismatched "88" and the remaining serialized parts are matching including the grooved firing pin. The action seems to function well mechanically and one original 122-coded magazine with "(Eagle) / 37" Waffenamts numbered "4736i" is included. A very good entry-level Second World War Luger that may make for a fine shooter. (13A9797-20) {C&R} (800/1200)

The metal surfaces of this late production Type I pistol retain about 85% plus original nickel finish with most of the loss along the right side due to fine overall flaking to pewter gunmetal patina that is blending in very nicely with the nickel finish along with some scattered small areas of minor pinprick pitting, one area more noticeable on the right side lower barrel, and some other more minor handling marks. The trigger has toned to a dark gray patina while the latch is a deep blue-gray and the latch retainer screw head shows good fire blue along its periphery. The hammer also retains generous attractive straw color throughout and the two line E. Remington & Sons barrel address remains crisp. The smooth un-numbered original mother-of-pearl grips remain in excellent condition showing perhaps a couple tiny handling marks and fit the frame very well. The barrels are matching the frame, the hinge shows no cracks and lock-up is tight. The hammer spring is perhaps a little bit weak but the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically. A very attractive antique double deringer for the Remington collector. (13B9362-73) {ANTIQUE} [Edward W. Marron, Jr. Collection] (700/900)

Early Mukden Arsenal Type 38 Arisaka Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1278 (Sale Order 279 of 750)

serial #355, 6.5 Arisaka, 31" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this rifle retain about 85-90% original blue showing some thinning to gray-brown patina and light oxidation staining along the bottom metal and mild thinning along the barrel. There is a spot of light dings on the barrel behind the front band, some minor dings along the middle band and a peculiar area of loss along the right side rear receiver bridge that appears to be from a small wire brush. The bolt release shows evidence of a rather vigorous cleaning and is a bright silvery tone showing some hints of original straw color along the bottom edge of the spring, the rear sight spring retains much of its rich straw color and the magazine follower shows pale fire blue. The screw heads show light slot wear, all markings remain intact and crisp and this example is stamped with the Mukden arsenal symbol atop the receiver ring rather than the imperial chrysanthemum.

There is no dust cover present and an original cleaning rod is included. The floorplate is un-numbered and all of the bolt parts, bolt release and front band are matching by assembly number "53" preceded by the "ki" kana character while the rear sight parts are matching each other by their own assembly number. The action seems to function well mechanically. A solid example of an early, likely first year production, Mukden rifle with the scarce arsenal symbol atop the receiver.

C. R. Alsop Navy Model Percussion Revolver

Lot #1279 (Sale Order 280 of 750)

The barrel address with patent dates is unmolested and remains completely intact and strong. The remaining metal surfaces are a darker gray-brown patina showing scattered old oxidation staining, freckling and pinprick pitting. The screw heads show light to perhaps moderate slot wear and the nipples and edges of the breeches show moderate impact damage. The Alsop patent marking in the cylinder flute is rather soft but mostly legible as is the patent date along the left side frame. There is a very tiny crack forming at the back edge of the frame behind the hammer but this is very unobtrusive. The smooth walnut grips are pencil-numbered to the gun and remain in about very good condition showing a thin 1 1/8" sliver missing along the back edge of the right panel, small chips at the toes and heels and some scattered light dings. The grips otherwise remarkably retain much of their original varnish and show some rather attractive grain figure throughout. The barrel and loading lever assembly are matching the frame and there is no visible number on the cylinder. The action is mostly function, the hammer functions well and the cylinder times appropriately, lock-up is somewhat loose. A good example piece of these interesting low-production revolvers.

One original magazine that has "Beretta" lightly scratched in small lettering on either side is included, the barrel and slide are matching the frame and the action seems to function well mechanically.

The smooth mother-of-pearl grips with deeply recessed silver-plated medallions remain in excellent condition showing just one or two very tiny flakes along the back edges and the screw heads show some mild slot wear.

The triggerguard retains about 92% silver finish taking on a lovely dark tarnish and showing some high edge wear. The top strap shows an old period brazed repair that was extremely well-executed and goes almost unnoticed. The topstrap markings are rather soft and partially intact while the patent dates on the barrel lock and cover plate are quite crisp and the arm features some tasteful light foliate scrollwork and nice etched foliate cylinder motif. The smooth walnut grips are un-numbered and remain in very fine condition as nicely refinished showing a couple tiny dings and minor handling marks.

The walnut stocks remain in good to about very good condition having darkened from the years and showing the expected overall moderate dings, abrasions and a small hairline crack atop the rear handguard. The stock disc is blank and shows a deeply-struck "0" stamped above it along with a faint but visible Enfield roundel on the right side and "I" mark designation. The fore-stock has been arsenal-renumbered to match the receiver, the numbers now rather soft. This rifle has evidently been through a number of early rebuilds but retains most of its correct features and includes an un-numbered third variation magazine with rotating feed lip. The bolt is matching the receiver with intact charger bridge bolt head, the Mark I rear sight with celluloid slider knobs has been arsenal-renumbered to match, the volley sights and magazine cutoff are intact and the nosecap has also been re-numbered to match; the nosecap fitting is somewhat off-kilter but this is rather unobtrusive. An original leather sling in very good condition is included and the action seems to function well mechanically. This is a solid example of a seldom-seen Enfield variant that would make a fine addition to an advanced British martial collection. (13B9807-195) {C&R} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (800/1200)

Remington Model 1902 Rolling Block Uruguayan Contract Saddle Ring Carbine

The right side butt shows a lovely "EJERCITO URUGUAY" cartouche with rack number "1112A" and the front sight protector is also stamped "1112". Strangely the lower tang assembly shows a mismatched assembly number "395" and the buttstock is matching. The sling swivels, saddle ring and original military sights are intact and the action seems to function well mechanically. A very nice example of these rather scarce contract carbines.

Remington Split Breech Sporting Rifle

Lot #1285 (Sale Order 286 of 750)

22 RF, 27 3/8" round barrel with a partially bright good bore showing scattered light pitting and oxidation with good rifling throughout. The barrel of this rifle retains perhaps 60% original blue fading to a deep gray patina with smaller areas toning to a mild brown patina. The action is more of a medium pewter-gray tone showing some areas of smoothed-over light pitting, mild brown freckling and some faint remnants of silvery case-hardened patina. The breechblock and hammer are a deep gray patina showing good original blue. There is a period-added fancy curved pistolgrip brazed onto the lower tang, the trigger is checkered and the saddle ring hardware has been removed with two small filler screws in their stead. The upper tang markings are partially intact under the added Lyman peep sight with a third extra hole also beneath the sight that appears to be older and for a period lollipop-style tang sight or similar. The checkered straight grip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition having darkened somewhat from the years with somewhat worn checkering, a repaired 6" thin crack along the bottom of the forend and some scattered light dings. The butt is fitted with a brass buttplate that shows some marks from fitting. There is no rear seat on the barrel for a rear iron sight, a smaller dovetail has been cut into the existing front dovetail to hold a small German silver blade front sight, its base showing rather nice fire blue and the action seems to function well mechanically. Mr. Squier's notes indicated he believed this Type III rifle was made by the factory in this configuration for commercial sale post-war, this certainly appears to be the case with just a few minor later modifications.

British Albini-Braendlin Conversion Breechloading Short Rifle

Lot #1287 (Sale Order 288 of 750)

serial #2668, 577 CF, 30 1/2" barrel with a partially bright fair-good bore showing moderate pitting and good rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this rifle have mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing some overall light pitting, perhaps a bit more moderate along the barrel. The lockplate and triggerguard have toned to more of a deep gray patina and the lockplate shows a strong "TOWER / 1866" marking in the center with a large crown sans royal monogram at the rear. The inside surface of the breechblock and the bayonet lug are numbered "2668" and there is what appears to be a small Japanese kanji stamp at the top rear of the action. The Japanese military did indeed adopt Albini-Braendlin converted rifles in the late 1860's early 1870's. Unlike most other known examples, this rifle does not show any patent markings on the breechblock or chrysanthemum on the barrel shank, but the arm has seen a fair amount of use and they were perhaps worn away. The smooth walnut stock remains in very good condition showing some overall light dings, shallow abrasions, a couple of thin cracks along the ramrod channel and small areas darkened from the years. The breechblock handle appears to have been replaced with a more modern component at some point and the sling swivels, military sights and ramrod are intact. The action remains functional albeit a little bit sluggish. An interesting example for the martial collector. (13B9670-591) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (800/1200)

The barrel of this rifle retains about 95% original blue showing a few sparsely scattered areas of light oxidation staining and mild handling marks. The barrel bands retain a similar amount of original blue, the rear band showing an unusual top contour similar to a carbine band to accommodate the non-standard handguard.

The barrel is marked "7 M.M - S.M." and the Remington Arms Company address and patent dates along the upper tang were rather poorly struck and remain mostly legible.

Interesting & Fine Swiss Copy of a Remington Vest Pocket Pistol

Lot #1291 (Sale Order 292 of 750)

22 RF, 3 1/2" barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some light oxidation and frosting in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this handsome little pistol retain about 85% original bright blue with most of the loss due to some scattered overall flaking to a pleasant gray-brown patina, a few faint scratches along the left side and minor handling marks. There are a few small dings at the edges behind the breech and a tiny stress crack on the frame behind the chamber but these are relatively unobtrusive. The hammer, trigger and safety catch retain about 90% brilliant fire blue showing some light high edge and operational wear. The smooth walnut grips remain in near excellent condition retaining about 95% original varnish showing a few scattered light handling marks and a little minor wear around the right panel escutcheon. The arm appears to be unmarked save for two small "7"-like stamps on the left side frame beneath the grip panel. While one would not think the simplicity of Remington's vest pocket pistol could be improved upon, this pistol is equipped with a small spring-loaded hammer block safety on the left side similar to that seen on many British percussion revolvers and the action seems to function well mechanically. The consignor's notes indicate this is a Swiss copy and while there are no markings to verify this it is certainly an extremely well-made piece, equally as-nice or perhaps even nicer than those made by Remington.

The hammer and triggerguard have mostly toned to a dark gray patina showing some fine pinprick pitting and the barrel address with "RUSSIAN MODEL" has softened somewhat with a few areas obscured by old pitting but remains mostly legible.

The smooth antique ivory grips remain in very fine condition having taken on a lovely rich patina showing a little mild shrinkage along the edges, some scattered light handling marks and nice age striations along the bases. The left panel appears to be pencil-numbered to the gun and the right is un-numbered. The action remains functional with good timing and lock-up a little loose. A solid engraved example of these scarce little revolvers with a handsome set of ivory grips, only about 3000 of which were produced around 1860. (13B9857-37) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

This slide or the bushing are slightly out of spec as the bushing has to be turned counterclockwise (dismounting position) to remove the recoil spring plunger. The pistol includes a single Colt marked commercial magazine. Another variation for the dedicated military collector. (8A9797-5) {C&R} (800/1200)

Colt Officers Model Target Revolver

Lot #1385 (Sale Order 386 of 750)

serial #20532, 22 LR, 6" barrel with an excellent bore. This vintage revolver has a unique period front sight and remains in excellent condition. The metal surfaces retain about 97-98% original blue, the backstrap lightly thinned, high edge wear, a few scattered tiny oxidation stains and handling marks. The checkered trigger retains full blue finish and the hammer is a later serrated replacement that has thinned to gray on the spur with the sides toned to very light gray. The un-numbered checkered walnut factory replacement grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions rate near excellent showing light handling marks. The rear sight is the standard windage adjustable square notch but the front is rather unique and interesting. Three layers of approximately .093" metal are sandwiched together with the top third angled forward and attached to an undercut elevation adjustable Patridge blade. The top of the outer angled sections of the sight have ivory inserts and the center is cut away. In use the cut away section gives the illusion of a blade front sight. The "blade" is sized in height to fit the rear sight notch. The closest contemporary sight would be found on the Heckler & Koch VP-70 pistol of the late 1960's that used two polished ramps with a space between them to give the same illusion (proving the saying what's new is old). There is no name on the sight and research failed to produce a maker. The gun still times and locks up as good as the day it left Hartford in 1938. This gun looks like it can still punch out X-rings all day long if the shooter is up to it and should be a fun shooter or interesting collectible. (8B9854-5) {C&R} (700/900)

The revolver features a pinned Patridge front sight, black blade Colt Accro rear sight and it still times and locks up correctly. The butt is neatly stamped "N.H.P.D. No.9". This gun originates from Connecticut and this could be New Haven PD but is not confirmed. This was probably a revolver issued to the department pistol team and the light wear would be more consistent with that, rather than a duty gun. This would be a great addition to a Police firearms or Colt collection. (8A9882-14) {MODERN} (700/900)

The metal surfaces are embellished with excellent quality English scrollwork and foliate bordering, both lockplates clearly maker-marked. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good condition, the forend showing some overall bruising, thin cracks along either side of the wrist and overall light dings. The buttstock retains a nice oil finish and shows some attractive grain figure throughout, the comb has been neatly modified during the period of use, the butt is equipped with heel and toe plates and there is an engraved monogram plate along the toe line that faintly reads "Boston". Length-of-pull is 14 1/4" with drops of 1 3/4" and 2 5/8". The left lock with non-rebounding hammer functions crisply, lock-up is solid on-face. A very respectable example of these interesting and desirable shotguns that just needs a little work. (13B9438-410) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)

Custom Boxlock Double Rifle Conversion by Sanden

Lot #1445 (Sale Order 446 of 750)

serial #2614, 450 3 1/4'', 26 3/4 sleeved monobloc barrels with bright mostly excellent bores, the left barrel showing a small area of light pitting midway down its length. The barrels retain about 98% buffed hot immersion blue, with solder evident along both the top and bottom ribs. The rib is engraved ''Caliber .450-3.25'' N.E./165 gr. Lead 90 gr. AA4350'' and ''Conversion by Sanden/#10''. The William Ford boxlock frame is an overall tarnished pewter patina mixing with plum and showing remnants of some light oxidation and light pitting on the bottom plate. It has tight English scroll in perhaps 75% coverage with the makers name in riband, the breech faces showing some light pitting surrounding the firing pin holes. The straight grip English walnut stock is somewhat plain and rates very good with the expected light dings and handling marks, a light crack and some flaking at right where it meets frame, and two small cracks left and right behind the top tang. The length of pull to the 1'' solid Pachmayr pad is 14 1/2'' with drops of 1 9/16'' and 2 1/2''. The forend rates about good and is worn nearly smooth with its tip insert missing, a couple small cracks and a repair just ahead of the forend iron. The rifle is sighted with a hooded sporting ramp front with a very generous white bead and four leaf express rear on the custom quarter rib, one standing, three folding. Additionally the rib was neatly milled for Ruger rings (none are present). The barrels seem to lock up tightly with dual under bites and Greener crossbolt, a sliver of light visible between each but it seems to affect only the original barrels and not the sleeved portion. Mr. Dan Sanden is a farmer and former selectman in Phillipson Mass and studied gunsmithing in the 1960s at Trinidad State Junior College in Colorado. As with all arms of custom construction, a qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine the fitness of this arm for any type of service prior to use.

The tang is signed on the reverse face. The blade is bright and near excellent with a few polishing marks here and there on the face. The hilt features standard officer's mounts: the tsuba is gilt brass with a scabbard catch cutout (no catch is present) cast in sakura blossom relief, worn to dull goldenrod at the edges and retaining much original gilt in the protected areas; the wooden grip is bound in white shagreen, decorated by brass triple sakura menuki and traditionally wrapped in brown cloth tape; the fuchi and kabuto-gane are stipple-patterned brass in ocher-brown lacquer paint with areas of the finish worn to brass mostly on the kabuto-gane. The wooden mekugi retention pin is worn thin and is a bit loose, otherwise the hilt is unblemished save the aforementioned finish wear. The scabbard is a traditional black-lacquered wooden saya with brass mounts. No tip cap is present and an 8 1/2'' flexing split is present on either side of the seam at the rear edge; the seam itself is partially separated at the forward edge. Despite the separations, the saya is held securely by the brass suspension ring and a canvas tape binding just above the tip, otherwise showing no more than superficial handling marks and rating very good as a whole.

Lot #1448 (Sale Order 449 of 750)

This weather-resistant naval officer's sword measures 36'' overall and bears a 26'' shinogi-zukuri blade with a bright straight hamon line. A Toyokawa Naval Arsenal circled anchor is stamped on the reverse face of the tang above the crisp maker's signature.

The hilt fittings comprise a silvered copper habaki, brass seppa, blackened copper dai-seppa forming sun-rays in alternating plain and stippled finish, a blackened brass tsuba, and gilt brass fuchi, menuki and kabuto-gane. The habaki shows light finish wear fading to bright copper beneath, the tsuba exhibits some finish thinning to brass at the edges and the gilt fittings retain generous amounts of original gilt with the exposed brass patinated to a dark brown. The wood grip is bound in black shagreen and olive green cloth tape and an olive green naval sword knot hangs from the sarute. The grip tape is darkly sweat-stained at the edges and the knot exhibits some isolated instances of fraying and discoloration but is largely unblemished. The scabbard is wood in black pebble-grain lacquer with gilt brass mounts, rating very fine to near excellent with strong amounts of original gilt on the brass, some slight patina on the exposed brass surfaces and just a few isolated instances of lacquer flaking here and there on the body. Overall a quite fine example of a stainless Navy Kai-Gunto with light signs of previous carry. (12B9807-15) [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (800/1200)

The included painted steel scabbard is also about excellent with only the barest handling marks sparsely scattered on the surface. Copper-mounted specimens of this model are unusual; most swords of this pattern were mounted in iron due to late-war material shortages. (12C9807-17). [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (700/900)

The handle is a typical officer's pattern with painted brass fuchi and kabuto-gane, brass sakura menuki and a binding of white shagreen and brown cloth tape. Strong moisture staining can be seen on the tape in the lower half toward the pommel, instances of green verdigris have accumulated at the edges of the brass and much of the paint has been worn from the kabuto-gane exposing tarnished goldenrod brass. The scabbard is a black lacquered wooden saya with no mounts; large segments of lacquer have flaked away at the edges but otherwise the scabbard shows no more than scattered light handling marks. Really a quite high quality specimen, a professional polish by a knowledgeable expert will no doubt return this blade to its full splendor. (12B9807-16) [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (800/1200)

Other than a few spots of light thinning, the gilt and fire blue remain strong. The hilt is gilt brass with an eagle's head pommel, the knucklebow shaped as a beautifully rendered pierced relief of an eagle in a laurel wreath frame. A single non-flexing crack runs the length of the obverse side of the polished bone grip and areas of exposed brass aged to a distinguished dark goldenrod can be seen at the edges of the brass, otherwise the hilt is in very fine condition.

''1851'' is faintly visible on the barrel tang while the breech is proofed with a ''V / P / (eagle head)'' and is marked ''PB / P'' indicating it was proved by Phillip Burkhart. The smooth American black walnut stock rates good with numerous small chips, dings and handling marks typical of a firearm that likely saw extensive service in the early campaigns of the Civil War. The faint remnants of an oval inspector's cartouche are on the left stock flat while ''C E B'' is carved upside-down on the right side of the buttstock. The nipple is a modern replacement, the mainspring screw is missing, the bayonet lug and sling swivels are intact and a correct trumpet-head ramrod with threaded end is stowed beneath the barrel. The action is crisp and somewhat strong on this historically-important arm that was the first to be manufactured at both national armories using only interchangeable parts.

Whitney-Enfield Percussion Rifle-Musket

Lot #1491 (Sale Order 492 of 750)

.58 cal., 40'' barrel with a bright about fine bore showing a few areas of very light pitting in the strong rifling. The metal surfaces have aged to an overall gray-brown patina, the barrel toning more to brown behind the lower band, as lightly cleaned long ago with some softened light pitting around the area of percussion, a few streaks of silvering around the muzzle, and some scattered light handling marks, areas of fine pinprick pitting and old light oxidation staining throughout. The characteristic pewter nosecap is matte gray while the brass triggerguard bow is toning to a dark mustard patina and the lock screw escutcheons are coated in light verdigris. The lockplate is properly marked with only ''E. WHITNEY'' ahead of the hammer. The smooth black walnut straight grip stock rates good for its age with a lengthy crack in the center of the forend behind the lower band, a few other scattered minor cracks and the scattered minor dings and handling marks typical of a Civil War era longarm. The stock is without cartouches which is correct. The original rear sight is missing leaving one nicely filled hole and one vacant drilled and tapped hole with an added standing ''U'' notch rear behind them while the original front sight and sling swivels remain intact. An iron ramrod with threaded end and brass trumpet-head is included and while the half-cock notch is worn the action is otherwise functional. A good example of these interesting rifle-muskets which are known to have been purchased by the U.S. Ordnance Department, the ''Enterprise Guards'' of Clarke County MS, the state of Maine and even the government of Mexico.

British Pattern 1856 Percussion Short Rifle

Lot #1492 (Sale Order 493 of 750)

.577 cal., 33'' barrel with a mostly bright fine bore showing a few small areas of fine pitting in the strong rifling. The metal surfaces are toning to a brown patina with light pitting around the breech, pinprick pitting scattered along the barrel and on the upper band, and a few scattered light handling marks and some small spots of old light oxidation overall. There is a nice amount of original blue in the protected areas around the front and rear sights, on and around the bayonet lug and on the base of the rear sight. The brass chain of the intact nipple protector has aged to a mustard patina. The lockplate is not arsenal marked bearing only ''1859'' ahead of the hammer and with just the crown behind the hammer which is correct for arms intended for use outside the British military. The rifle is otherwise unmarked except for the bayonet lug which is numbered ''25'' and the correct cupped and slotted-head ramrod with threaded end displays a softened stamping that appears to read ''GILBE'' with the rest of the name lost to time. The smooth walnut straight grip stock rates very good with a coat of period added finish and the typical scattered ling dings and handling marks, the most prominent being a small splinter missing from the edge of the ramrod channel and in the right stock flat ahead of the lockplate and a couple specks of paint transfer on the toe. There are two inspection marks behind the triggerguard tang and the stock is otherwise without cartouches. The original slings swivels, sights and bayonet lug are intact and the action remains very strong and crisp. An attractive example of these very collectable short rifles that were popular with Confederate forces during the Civil War. (23A9853-3) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

U.S. Model 1898/99 Krag Bolt Action Carbine by Springfield Armory

Lot #1493 (Sale Order 494 of 750)

serial #120102, 30-40 Krag, 22'' barrel with a very good plus, lightly frosted bore with strong rifling. This gorgeous carbine is a Model 1898 carbine updated to Model 1899 specifications. The barrel, band, triggerguard and trap buttplate retain about 90% original blue which is lightly fading towards the muzzle with a few light handling marks and a spot of loss on each side of the barrel below the front sight toning to gunmetal gray, light silvering at the muzzle, light flaking on the bow of the triggerguard, and the toe and heel of the buttplate toning to gray. The receiver is toning to a blue-gray patina while the sideplate and gate retain strong smoky oil-quenched case-hardening with a small area of pinprick pitting and some thinning to brown on the gate. The bolt is mostly bright with the handle toning to gray with some light freckling while the extractor claw retains strong original fire blue. The Model 1898 smooth walnut handguard rates excellent save for a crack bisecting it behind the rear sight and a hairline crack ahead of the rear sight. The gorgeous Model 1899 smooth walnut straight grip stock rates excellent with a few faint handling marks on the underside of the forend and is likely a field replacement as there is no cartouche. There is a very crisp circled ''P'' firing proof and ''N'' inspection mark behind the triggerguard. The stock is equipped with a lower sling swivel which is a recognized field modification while the original barrel band has been replaced with a rifle band with swivel, also a field modification. The barrel is sighted with the original blade front and a C-marked Model 1902 rear with swing-up aperture, a three piece cleaning rod is stored within the trap buttplate and the smooth action appears to function well mechanically. A beautiful example of the Model 1898 carbine retrofitted to 1899 specifications. (23A9807-68) {ANTIQUE} [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (800/1200)

Ithaca Flues Model Grade 3E Ejectorgun

Lot #1495 (Sale Order 496 of 750)

serial #312600, 20 ga., 28'' barrels choked modified and full with bright excellent bores, the right tube showing some extremely light remnants of very light oxidation. The barrels retain about 98% excellent quality restored blue with very light bands of engraving at the breeches, with silver bead front and midrib white bead sights. The frame retains perhaps 20% original color case-hardening, primarily behind the fences and beneath the lever, the balance a smoky pewter and plum patina. The frame shows typical loose open flowing Ithaca Gun scroll with game birds the left and right and a flying waterfowl on the belly of the frame. The triggerguard shows nice restored blue as well, with original blue on the top lever and safety. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock rates otherwise excellent with some lovely grain figure throughout, showing remnants of a repaired crack through the wrist in the area of the tang, it appears to have been well-done and is solid and most of the repair neatly camouflaged within the checkering, the triggerguard showing a slight ripple which could doubtless be easily rectified. The length of pull to the Ithaca Gun Co. ''rising sun'' recoil pad is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 5/8'' and 2 3/4''. The splinter forend rates very fine with a large ebony tip insert and the beginning of a small crack at the left side at stock iron, the checkering somewhat finish-filled. The flat of the iron shows what appears to be a factory re-numbering to this frame, the original number beneath is not readily discernible but clearly the forend fit this gun perfectly. The gun locks up tight on face with the top lever just slightly right of center and seems to function well mechanically with robust ejectors. A very attractive grade 3 ejectorgun, the silver shield-shaped monogram plate along the wrist engraved ''PRK''. (3B9771-16) {C&R} (800/1200)

Large Bore British Double Hammergun by Hemenway

Lot #1496 (Sale Order 497 of 750)

serial #1227, 8 ga., 32'' barrels showing about very good bores with light pitting their full length, a few spots which are a bit more moderate. The barrels show a plum brown and gray damascus pattern their full length, with interspersed very light oxidation staining here and there, perhaps the oddly scattered light handling mark as well. The concave rib features a simple brass front blade and is marked ''G Hemenway London Damascus Steel'' and there are very light engraved bands at the breeches and scalloping on the dolls head extension. The frame is primarily a soft plum brown patina with some remnants of case-hardening on the flat between the two raised bolsters, with good quality tight flowing English scroll in perhaps 50% coverage. The lockplates are more of a blue-gray case-hardened patina, each maker marked and showing strong traces of original case colors beneath hammers, with the same sparse loose scroll. The triggerguard and forend metal have toned to a plum brown patina with softening engraving, the bow of the guard with a couple dings. The checkered English walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock rates about very good, showing nice grain figure beneath the darkening original varnish, with the expected light dings and handling marks throughout. It shows the beginnings of cracks left and right emanating from the lockplates and a small chip to the rear of the upper tang, they are however tight and will not flex and may have been successfully arrested. There is a nice scalloped pistolgrip cap of horn, it shows a few chips at its leading edge, and the length of pull to the checkered horn buttplate is 14 3/4''. The forend rates perhaps very good, the checkering worn nearly smooth and the horn tip insert lost to the years, with a minor chip here or there. The rebounding locks seem to function well mechanically, they are in-time, the right hammer showing a repair to its spur. The barrels are off-face currently and exhibit lateral and vertical play; two unmarked brass 8 ga. unloaded holes are included with the arm. The shield-shaped monogram plate along the toeline is un-engraved and the underside of the barrels exhibit British proofs. The arm has an overall length of 48 3/4'' and weighs in at 14 pounds. An honest, and still attractive, behemoth from the days of market wild fowling, that may be worth the tightening after a close inspection of the tubes. (3B9795-7) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Unmarked Large Bore European Percussion Double Fowler

Lot #1497 (Sale Order 498 of 750)

7 ga., 35'' barrels with lightly oxidized bores. The barrels on this big British-looking fowler show Belgian proofs on the underside and appear to be 7 bore (roughly .887 at the muzzles) and show a fading deep brown and gray damascus pattern with overall light oxidation speckling and some areas which when cleaned will leave light pitting behind. The concave rib shows a brass front bead and is marked only ''Fine Twist'' with a bit of very light engraving on the rib extension, both of the breeches a dull pewtery gray case-hardened patina. Each of the bar under lockplates is a pewter gray case-hardened patina and shows light sprays of loose and tight scroll with light borderline engraving, this continuing onto the long upper tang as well. The balance of the iron hardware is all a dull gray and soft brown lightly oxidized patina, showing sprays of light good quality scroll here and there, the bow of the guard showing a bit more oxidation and some light pitting. The European walnut stock rates very good, perhaps showing an old light cleaning many years ago but with excellent wood-to-metal fit, only the toe of the butt hanging quite a bit proud, and nice coarse checkering in the area of the grip and forend. The edges remain crisp and the arm retains the light dings and handling marks that come from field-use. The right tumbler-hammer will not hold on half cock but does hold at full, the left lock works well mechanically and at full cock the hammers are in time. The barrels on this heavy gun are retained by dual wedges through German silver escutcheons, the rear wedge has one edge of its head broken off, and an antique brass-tip ramrod with a wad pull end is included. Overall length of this big fowler is 51 1/2'', weighing in at a mere 14 pounds. A very respectable representative example of a large bore market fowler of yesteryear that would be very impressive over the mantel or above the bar. (39795-4) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Rare New Orleans Double Barrel Percussion Combination Gun by Allen & Hille

Lot #1498 (Sale Order 499 of 750)

.46 cal by 10 ga., 35'' barrels showing oxidized bores. New Orleans-made arms are rather rare in their own right, this is a fairly rare combination rifle-shotgun percussion arm, once in the collection of prominent Southern cotton merchant, James Lyman Crump. The barrels are an overall soft plum brown patina with scattered oxidation and perhaps a few spots of scattered light pitting, most prominent near the breeches. The shotgun barrel shows some remnants of a damascus pattern and the rib features an inlaid silver blade front sight and flattop u-notch rear with chiseled front, it is marked ''Allen & Hille New Orleans'', the rib extension with dual inlaid silver lines. The bar under locks and upper tang are a similar plum and brown patina, each of the lockplates neatly maker marked with plates and hammers showing only light borderline engraving, with some scattered light pitting. The spur has broken off the left hammer and there is some more moderate pitting at the rear of its lock, it would likely be a fairly easy repair for a good metal man. The arm is appointed with German silver furniture in the form of a nosecap tailpipe with lightly chiseled extension, simple dual wedge escutcheons, lightly engraved German silver triggerguard with rear grip flourish, a neat pendulum shaped patchbox and German silver buttplate showing light borderline engraving on its tang. The iron triggerplate front extension shows light chiseling as well and the arm is equipped with a single set trigger for the rifle barrel, the door of the patchbox neatly engraved in fancy script ''Pocahontas'' with a bit of light engraving surrounding. The English walnut buttstock rates very good as cleaned many years ago regaining some light dings and handling marks and showing some very lovely grain figure beneath the added varnish. There is a nice flared left side shadowline cheekpiece and the checkered wrist has worn nearly smooth, the checkering along its top edge sanded away. There are small cracks to the rear of each of the stock flats behind the lock, and the left and right of tang to the rear of the nipples flares shows some erosion from percussion cap splash. The left lock functions mechanically, the right lock does not always hold well at full cock, however the set trigger works as-designed, there is an antique replacement ramrod included, the rear ramrod thimble is not present but this is unobtrusive. Joseph Allen & Charles Hille wear active in New Orleans from 1842 to roughly 1859, it is highly likely this arm could've seen use in the American Civil War by some Southern fellow who used it to put meat on the table prior to the hostilities. Consigned directly from the Crump family, James Lyman Crump of Georgia made his fortune exporting cotton from Georgia to Italy. He later resided in New Orleans and purchased a 3,600-acre estate in Mississippi where he built a hunting lodge with extensive gardens on the Jourdan River, named Holly Bluff Gardens at Bay St. Louis, this arm hung over the fireplace there for many years.

Large Bore Moore & Harris Percussion Double Fowler

Lot #1499 (Sale Order 500 of 750)

serial #2168, 8 ga., 38'' barrels with a mostly bright very fine bores, which likely would rate excellent for most of their lengths, their first third near the muzzles showing light oxidation and perhaps some light pits. The barrels themselves are a pleasing mostly smooth mix of deep plum brown and a pewter gray patina with scattered light oxidation staining and perhaps a spot here and there of light pitting, with perhaps a light ding or handling mark here and there. The concave rib features remnants of a silver bead and is maker marked ''Moore & Harris (Royal Warrant) London''; the Spartan breeches a dull gray case-hardened patina, the left showing some oxidation. The lockplates retain some trace case colors and are primarily a gray and pewter mottled case-hardened patina and are unadorned, as are the hammers, each plate maker marked ''Moore & Harris''. The balance of the furniture is Spartan and unadorned and is very utilitarian as one would expect on one of these large bore fowlers designed for market hunting; the flared heads of both wedges show chips left and right but this is of no real consequence to the arm. The furniture is primarily a pewter gray or plum brown in character, showing a few the very sparsely scattered spots of light oxidation or pitting here and there, the bow of the guard neatly engraved ''No. 2168''. The length of pull to the smooth steel buttplate is 14 1/4'', the monogram plate along the toeline remains un-engraved. The English walnut stock shows coarse checkering at the wrist and rates very good with much original varnish and the overall light dings and handling marks that come from a field-used arm. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and the hammers remain in time, what is likely the original ramrod is present with screw-off wad pull end . Moore & Harris make some very fine shotguns, this example, Spartan as it is, is no exception and quality made throughout. Barrels, stock and guard are all numbered alike.

Unmarked Large Bore Belgian Percussion Double Fowler

Lot #1500 (Sale Order 501 of 750)

8 ga., 34'' barrels showing oxidized bores. The barrels show a scant gray and brown damascus twist pattern their full length, with scattered oxidation staining here and there and perhaps a few spots of very light pitting. The concave rib has a simple brass bead front sight and is marked ''London Fine Twist'' showing some very rudimentary engraving at the rib extension. Both of the breeches are a dull gray-brown case-hardened patina and each features an inlaid silver band, dual inlaid bands on rib extension. The back action lockplates, heavy tang, triggerguard and nosecap / tailpipe are a pewter and brown patina showing light open flowing scroll throughout, with the front extension lightly chiseled. There is a very heavy and large smooth steel buttplate with a tiny bit of engraving atop its tang, providing a 14 1/4'' length of pull. The European walnut stock rates very good as lightly cleaned years ago, retaining the expected light dings and handling marks beneath the finish. It shows some lovely grain figure in the butt, some fading coarse checkering at the wrist and seems sound overall with two very tiny cracks at the rear of the lockplates. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional and the hammers are in-time and a later ramrod is included. The overall length of this dainty little Belgian fowler is nearly 51 inches and weighs in at a mere 15 1/4 pounds (the width of the butt alone is almost 6'' heel to toe). An impressive large bore fowler from yesteryear that would look great above the mantel or bar. (3A9795-6) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)

Winchester Model 1897 Slide Action Shotgun

Lot #1501 (Sale Order 502 of 750)

serial #871892, 12 ga., 20'' plain professionally shortened barrel, un-choked with a bright excellent bore; it is marked ''full'' near the breech. The metal surfaces retain about 95-97% original blue, the loss due to some fading and flaking on the magazine tube, action bar and some light handling marks and scratches, primarily on the barrel ahead of the band; there are also some light and moderate circumferential scratches in this area, consistent with someone removing a bayonet lug-handguard adapter which may have been present years ago; the set-back of the front bead is such that it looks the correct distance back for bead placement on a bayonet-lugged handguard. The smooth pistolgrip walnut buttstock rates very fine with nearly all its original varnish and the expected light flakes and handling marks from the years and a light crack at the toe. The grooved forend is similar with light handling marks and a very light hairline crack at its nosecap. The barrel-to-frame lockup is excellent and the gun is tight and functions well mechanically. Overall a very nicely-shortened 97, still in a fine state of condition, that would be great on the cowboy action range, perhaps once used as a guards gun, having the evidence of having had handguard installed.

The edges of the raised border around the upper tang remain quite nice and there is a small indecipherable marking carved into the left flat. A few small screws are replacements, a correct style brass-tipped hickory ramrod is included and the lock functions loosely. (13A9833-60) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

U.S. Model 1871 Smoothbore Rolling Block Pistol by Remington

Lot #1528 (Sale Order 529 of 750)

serial #5205, 50 CF, 8" barrel with a bright excellent smooth bore. This gun was altered to fire shot cartridges by an unknown firm. The metal surfaces retain about 30-35% original case-hardened colors with the barrel and portions of the frame toned to even gray patina showing brown toning, pitting and sparse handling marks. The right side of the frame, top and frontstrap have faded case-hardened colors. The hammer and breechblock are gray but the trigger has very strong fire blue, the face toning to gray. The one-piece factory walnut grip rates very good to excellent showing scattered handling marks, crisp inspector's cartouche and it is numbered to the gun. The forend rates about the same but as was common on military guns it is not numbered. Curtis R. Stickney's cartouche is on the grip and his proof/inspection marks on the left side of the receiver. In his book Remington Rolling Block Pistols, author Jerry Landskron offers several plausible explanations with a common theme the work was performed by commercial firms other than Remington. A few of the firms marked the altered guns but most did not. The number of smoothbores conversions are small and this would make a wonderful and interesting addition to a collection.

The barrel is correctly numbered to the gun as is the grip, but the numbers on the unfluted cylinder are no longer legible. Only traces of the cabin and Indian scene remain on the cylinder. This gun has the correct "pointing finger" Hartford, Connecticut barrel address but it has softened with age. The little gun still times and locks up correctly, but the mainspring perhaps a bit weak. A very good example for the Colt collector. (8A9833-83) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)

Custom Double Hammer Rifle Conversion by Sanden

Lot #1680 (Sale Order 681 of 750)

45-70 Govt, 25'' barrels with a bright excellent right bore and a mostly bright about excellent left, showing a bit of light pitting ahead of the chamber. The barrels retain about 90% of a mottled blue finish which is water streaked and appears to have a bit of added cold blue. They were mated to an Austrian double hammergun frame originally proofed in 1932. The frame and lockplates are a pewter gray patina and show deep floral and game scene engraving or etching (very much appears to be excellent quality etching, with a bit of a light geometric engraving). The checkered pistolgrip European walnut stock rates excellent as refinished many years ago, the forend is custom-made English walnut and is smooth, perhaps done by Mr. Sanden. The length of pull to the Pachmayr decelerator pad is 14''. The hammers have neat recurving checkered spurs and the locks are rebounding and mechanically functional, the hammers slightly out of time with one another (the left hammer screw is a replacement). The barrels seem to lock up tightly with dual under bites and a Greener crossbolt, the slightest sliver of light can be detected along their top edge but it appears to affect only the original barrel face and not the sleeved portion which seems to be tight. The rifle is sighted with a hooded sporting ramp front with a very generous white bead and three leaf express rear on the custom quarter rib, one standing, two folding, they are in the early stages of regulation. The left side barrel is neatly engraved ''Caliber 45-70-405 Remington/Conversion by Sanden''. Mr. Dan Sanden is a farmer and former selectman in Phillipson Mass and studied gunsmithing in the 1960s at Trinidad State Junior College in Colorado. As with all arms of custom construction, a qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine the fitness of this arm for any type of service prior to use.

Japanese Type 95 / Pattern 1935 NCO Shin-Gunto

Lot #1681 (Sale Order 682 of 750)

serial #132221. This WWII-era NCO's sword measures 36 1/2'' overall and bears a 27 1/2'' single-edged shinogi-zukuri blade with single unstopped fullers. The habaki, tsuba and seppa are brass; the fuchi is copper in ruddy brown lacquer and the handle is brown-painted cast aluminum imitating the bindings and sakura menuki of the Type 94 Officer's Shin-Gunto. The fuchi is stamped with the Suya Arsenal mark, Tokyo Arsenal inspector's mark and Tokyo Arsenal star mark on the obverse side. The bright excellent blade is near razor sharp with few blemishes aside from a few negligible minute handling marks and specks of gray patina in the upper 1/3 of the blade near the tip. Small areas of coppery ocher can be seen on the habaki and the remaining brass surfaces of the hilt are toning to a dull goldenrod with hints of gray-brown tone. The brown paint of the grip is slightly worn at the higher surfaces with exposed aluminum at the peaks and edges. Includes a green-brown painted steel scabbard numbered to the blade and in quite fine condition; surface-level handling marks can be seen throughout and about 95% original paint remains with areas of exposed steel toning to dark brown at the edges of the paint.

Japanese Type 94 / Pattern 1934 Shin-Gunto with Snakeskin Grip

Lot #1682 (Sale Order 683 of 750)

This officer's sword measures 34 3/4'' overall and bears a 24 1/2'' shinogi-zukuri blade with a crisp white irregular hamon line. No tang signature, arsenal marks or proofs are present, suggesting a possible private purchase. The blade exhibits an overall near mirror polish and shows occasional small temper cracks, polishing marks and areas of very thin speckled gray patina scattered throughout. The edge is razor sharp with only a couple of isolated minute dings. The hilt is a mostly typical officer's configuration with a gilt brass tsuba, gilt brass sakura menuki and an ocher-brown painted brass kabuto-gane. The fuchi is covered by a protective leather band. Neither the seppa nor the mekugi pin are present and the hilt mounts sit a bit loosely as a result. Rather than the usual white shagreen, the grip features an unusual binding of lacquered snakeskin. The snakeskin is dried in some areas and some segments have separated from each other but all remain secure beneath the slightly moisture-stained brown cloth tape binding. The edges of the tsuba are worn to a dusky patinated goldenrod, otherwise the hilt features few blemishes and the gilt surfaces retain generous original finish in the relief. The scabbard is wood in black lacquer housed in a leather combat cover. The scabbard is in good condition with minor wear on the surface, the combat cover fair to good with light to moderate surface deterioration and partial separation of the stitching, some dryness of the material and the leather is somewhat delicate but shows little in the way of material loss. An interesting example in very good plus condition. (12A9807-18) [Vincent Coniglio Collection] (600/800)

The hilt is solid German silver and the grip is black horn. Very close examination reveals only tiny hints of freckled tarnish and a few minute handling marks hardly worth the mention. The steel scabbard is fully plated in German silver; tiny handling marks can be seen across the surface, otherwise the scabbard is excellent and retains its mirror-bright finish. Use of horn grips and the second-type Springfield etching and address date this arsenal sword to 1905-1907. A fabulous near mint 1902 Officer's sword that would be difficult to improve upon.

WWI U.S. Model 1902 R.O.T.C. Presentation Sword

Lot #1690 (Sale Order 691 of 750)

37 1/2'' overall, 32'' curved single-edged trailing point blade with single unstopped fullers. The ricasso is etched ''Harding / Uniform & / Regalia Co. / Boston / Mass.'' on the reverse face. Either face of the blade is etched with gilt panels depicting foliate sprays and panoplies of arms, centered by the inscription ''Lieut. Joseph W. O'Connor'' on the obverse and ''Presented / by Holy Cross / R.O.T.C. June, / 1917'' on the reverse. Generous amounts of gilt remain in the etching and areas of smoky gray patina are scattered throughout. A number of impact nicks can be seen along the edge, the blade faces show little to no wear. The hilt is silvered brass with a black bone grip; the silver finish is strong with areas of black tarnish and hints of dull goldenrod brass peeking through at the edges. Both blade and hilt are in very fine condition as a whole. Includes an excellent sword knot of gold wire with black silk highlights. The scabbard is solid German silver with silvered brass mounts, crisply engraved on the obverse face with alternating patterns of foliate scroll beneath a panoply of U.S. arms. Strong amounts of original silver remain on the mounts with a bit of wear to brass at the edges of the drag. Scattered tiny handling marks can be seen across the body but no major deformations or blemishes are visible. The retention screw is missing from the drag, nevertheless the piece remains secure. As a result of the Plattsburg Movement and National Defense Act of 1916, the framework of today's R.O.T.C. programs was first established in preparation for potential U.S. involvement in the Great War. By the end of 1917, about 17,000 men had been trained for officer duty at various camps and academic institutions, including the College of the Holy Cross. This sword is thus among the first to be awarded in association with that program. Cursory research has found no further information on Lt. O'Connor. An attractive early R.O.T.C. presentation sword with research potential for the inquisitive collector. (12A9838-17) [Bruce Shroyer Collection] (500/700)

Ornate German Under Lever Double Hammergun by Suchardt

Lot #1704 (Sale Order 705 of 750)

serial #2, 16 ga., 30 1/2'' barrels choked about improved cylinder, each showing good to perhaps near very good bores with light and moderate pitting their full length. This was an extremely ornate and impressive double hammergun in its day. The barrels are a very pleasing pewter patina with some speckled plum brown here and there showing raised wootz-style star damascus on both barrels and rib their full-length. The rib features a simple silver bead front sight and is inlaid in gold ''H Suchardt in Altona'' with small gold and silver inlaid decorations at the breech. The under lever, frame, guard and back action locks are a silvery patina and show overall open flowing Germanic scroll of excellent quality which continues onto the long tang. Each frame flat and each lockplate show game scenes inlaid in both gold and silver with gunning dogs and birds, fox and pheasant and doe and buck rhebok. The hammers are rather graceful and recurving and there are a set of Germanic monogrammed initials atop the tang also inlaid in gold. The engraving has softened atop the tang and on the front of the under lever from the years but only a bit. The fancy scroll front triggerguard features a gold inlaid doe on the wide bow, the pendulum-style patchbox is ornately engraved with hind and stag, in both silver and gold, along with a silver inlaid ''I'', perhaps signifying this was one of a pair. The European walnut stock has darkened somewhat from age but shows lovely grain figure and is otherwise untouched showing some strong remnants of original varnish. It has the overall expected flakes and handling marks that come from a field-used arm and has a nice flared left side cheekpiece with open flowing carved scroll at wrist left and right and a nice relief-carved game scene of buck and doe rhebok to the rear of the cheekpiece. The head of the stock has darkened from oil soaking over the years and there are a couple of chips around the upper tang. The locks are non-rebounding and mechanically functional, the right hammer sitting slightly forward of the left. The barrels are off face and exhibit lateral and vertical play. According to Stockel H.C.W. Suchardt was active in Altona (Hamburg) around 1870, likely the son of Johan Christian Suchardt who set up shop there in 1810. He obviously did very fine work.

French First World War War Bond Poster by Goursat

Lot #1705 (Sale Order 706 of 750)

This is a very rare 1916 paper broadside promoting the Second National Defense Loan to finance France's continuing participation in the First World War. We see hundreds of the venerable French Poilu, with full field gear marching by and through the Arc de Triomphe. Descending from Heaven above are Napoleon's armies, enjoining the patriot brethren below...''Forward!''.... promising victory over the forces of the Hun.......spurred on by the winged visage of Artist François Rude's, ''La Marseillaise'', wielding the sword of victory and seems to be shouting ''vers l'avant!''. The image is signed ''SEM'' in the lower right by artist Georges Goursat (1863-1934), renowned French caricaturist turned war correspondent and an officer of the Legion of Honor. ''Les Souscriptions sont recues a Paris et en Province'' and ''Banque Nationale de Credit'' are along the bottom of the view, letting the reader know that they can buy supporting War Bonds in the Paris branches of the Nationale Bank or in the Provinces as well. The upper left of the bottom margin reads ''pour le triomphe jouscrivez a l'emprunt national'', urging the reader to join the National Loan Campaign for Victory's sake. These printed broadsides were paper on fabric and not meant to be long-lasting and very rarely survived these many years intact, this example has done so, the image has yellowed a slight bit rather like newsprint and there are some very minor water stains along its top edges with a tiny tear here or there. The print is very neatly, very professionally matted and framed with a gray-blue colored mat, which has been a relieved very neatly along the right side leaving the printers name exposed as well. The external dimensions of the frame measure 35 1/4''x48'', the print itself measures 31''x44''. A rousing depiction of the French national spirit, it no doubt helped to fulfill its goal of parting the average Frenchman with his Francs in support of the war effort.

There were appropriate modifications or replacements to the extractor and firing pin plus other parts were changed or altered as necessary to work with the rimfire ammunition.

De-Milled Russian RPG-2

Lot #1727 (Sale Order 728 of 750)

Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot which translated to English means "hand-held antitank grenade launcher". This is a man-portable, shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon that was designed in the Soviet Union and was utilized most often by a two-person team, but could be operated easily by an individual. The RPG-2 was first introduced in 1949 and, in a few years, was already considered mostly obsolete against many modern tanks. However, it still filled an important role as a support weapon for the destruction of vehicles, buildings, and other "soft targets". The RPG-2 is a reusable single-shot smoothbore steel tube measuring 37 3/8'' long with a diameter of 40 millimeters. This recoilless, shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded launcher has flip-up iron sights capable of ranges up to 150 meters. The RPG-2 is compatible with only one type of round, the PG-2, which is a fin-stabilized High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) round capable of penetrating about 200mm of Rolled Homogenous Armor (RHA). The RPG-2 saw conflict in a large number of wars including the Vietnam War, Cambodian Civil War, Somalia Civil War, Yugoslav Wars, Libyan Civil War, and Syrian Civil War. Previous service is attributed to the Soviet Union, Cambodia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Laos, Libya, Macedonia, Thailand, Yugoslavia, Myanmar (Burma), Czechoslovakia Republic, Poland and Egypt. It is still in limited use today in China (in the reserves), and may also be in use in various other countries and organizations. This particular example is mounted to an oak wood plaque that measures 54'' x 9 1/4" and is decorated with a red and yellow colored map of Vietnam, a 1st U.S. Infantry Division patch and carving, a white triangular ''patch'' carving with iron cross in center and a brass plate that states ''RPG-2 / CAPTURED BY / THE IRON BRIGADE / OPERATION / 'CEDAR FALLS'''. Operation Cedar Falls was a military operation of the Vietnam War conducted primarily by US forces that took place from January 8th to the 26th of 1967. The aim of the massive search-and-destroy operation was to eradicate the so-called "Iron Triangle", an area northwest of Saigon that had become a major stronghold of the Viet Cong. It was the largest American ground operation of the Vietnam War with two Army divisions, one infantry and one paratrooper brigade, and one armored cavalry regiment participating in the operation. Altogether, it involved 30,000 US and South Vietnamese troops. The 1st Infantry Division is a combined arms division of the United States Army, and is the oldest continuously serving in the Regular Army. It has seen continuous service since its organization in 1917 during World War I. The division was nicknamed the ''Big Red One'' in reference to the red ''1'' on its patch. The tube shows some minor flaking and handling marks to the black enamel, and brown composite cover. The aluminum grip is marked ''56-40 (inverted 'Y' character) / 134085 / (circle)04''. The original sling is still attached. The side facing the plaque has had a large hole cut and welded as per the BATFE de-milling instructions. A historic military item in its own right this RPG-2 launcher has added appeal being attributed to one of the longest-serving U.S. Infantry divisions who saw extensive action during the Vietnam War and was specifically involved in Operation Cedar Falls.
