Extraordinarily RARE Experimental Prototype Josef Nickl Patent Mauser M1916/22 9MM Pistol

Lot #24 (Sale Order 28 of 442)

S# 40 | Chambered in 9mm Nickl or also known as 9mm Short (a reduced rim 9mm Kurz case) | This is an EXCELLENT example of an extremely rare Mauser prototype of the rotating barrel models with limited production. With not more than 50 ever made in all configurations, this is number 40! Not many have even come to the light and hit the market; they are tucked away in private collections where they could remain a lifetime, so take advantage of this one, because you may not see another! This rotating barrel (Steyr pattern) design was actually developed by Josef Nickl at the Czech Bruno factory that was produced by the Mauser factory on a strictly experimental prototype basis only. It is almost identical to the Czech model 1922/24 semi-automatic pistol but considerably larger in size. It is in fact, the predecessor to a historic lineage of CZ Pistols. The serial number of this unique pistol is "40” and it is correctly numbered on the rear of the frame, the top of the slide, the front barrel bushing, the underside of the side plate, and take down lever, and appropriate internal parts. The magazine is unmarked but due to the limited production amount and the extremely limited examples we have seen in today’s market, we do not know for a fact that all the magazines were numbered. We do know it requires a certain type of magazine to release the slide lock mechanism in which this one does so. The left side of the frame is marked with a large "N" which stood for the Nickl Patent followed by the Mauser Banner and the 2-line address “Waffenfabrik Mauser A.G. / Oberndorf a.N.” located on a the removable side plate. Another interesting and unique key to mention on this pistol specifically, there is a Eagle/N (Nitro) pressure proof mark visible on the right side of the trigger guard. This is the only example of a Nickl Mauser with this exact proof mark that has been seen. This proof wasn’t used until after Jan. 15th 1940 so we can only assume it was kept in storage for quite sometime before actually being sold in the commercial market. It is fitted with a one-piece set of wrap-around style walnut grips with fine cut checkering on each side. The pistol has a rust blue finish with a straw colored hammer. |||| Condition: Excellent. 99% of the original blue finish overall with only very minor edge wear/light oxidation spotting on slide. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with most of the original varnish overall with nice distinct checkering, showing some small handling marks on the right side. Mechanically functions excellent, and has an excellent bore with strong rifling. |||| Certification: Mauro Baudino with the Paul Mauser Archive has done some digging and personally wrote up a certification for this pistol, which is included. The winner will receive the physical certification papers, as well as digital, and we will offer to add your name to the certification at request.

Excellent Cased Mass. Arms Co. Adams Patent Double Action .31 Cal. Percussion Pocket Revolver

Lot #25 (Sale Order 29 of 442)

ARMS CO. CHICOPEE FALLS./PATENT MAY 3. 1853. JUNE 3. 1856. APL 7. 1857." | Patented in England in 1851 by Robert Adams as well as improvements by Lt. Beaumont. They are much sturdier than Colt's multi-part, open top revolvers due to the single casting forming the barrel, frame, and grip frame. With only 4,500 of these pocket models produced for the civilian market in .31 caliber, the same as Colt's ever popular Model 1849 Pocket, up until 1861. A lot were private purchased in place of pocket colts, which would make sense of the tag included with this one. |||| Condition: Excellent. 90% High Gloss original Blue Finish remaining on the frame of this revolver. Shows scratches and light surface rust spotting. Cylinder has turned to a dull grey/brown. For the age, this finish is incredibly rare and one of the nicest to be seen on the internet. Checkered Walnut grips are in excellent shape with deep checkering. Mechanically functions extremely smooth, safety works, bore looks great! Accessories include: Correct Power Flask (with some powder), ELEY BRO LONDON marked cap tin full of caps, .31 caliber bullet mold marked "MASS. ARMS CO. Chicopee Falls" with a single lead ball, Issued tag (possible ivory), and the key to case.

Interesting 17th Century Ottoman Matchlock Musket w/ Famous Lazarino Cominazzo Barrel

Lot #119 (Sale Order 136 of 442)

52” barrel length marked "Lazarino Cominazzo" | 66” overall length | Mechanically functions | In the 16th century the Cominazzo family started a gunsmithing business in Brescia, Italy. They did not produce whole firearms, but practiced a common business at the time which was to specialize in a particular part. The Cominazzo family specialized in gun barrels, in particular pistol barrels. Within a few generations the Cominazzo family had gained such a extraordinary reputation for fine quality craftsmenship that their barrels were sold all over Europe and even as far as the Spanish colonies in America. Fortunato’s son, Lazarino chose a different path from the regular family business. Rather than a focus on producing gun barrels, Lazarino decided to go into business crafting whole firearms. Lazarino’s flintlock and snaphaunce pistols are today recognized as some of the most ornate, artistic, and finely crafted pistols on the market. Most of his pieces, are owned by art museums and wealthy collectors. When one goes up for auction, which is rare, it typically sells for tens of thousands of dollars at least.Tragically Lazarino Cominazzo would be killed in 1697 while partaking in a revolt against the Venetian government.

Excellent Antique German Pre-Haenel Aydt Georg Lechner Zimmer Schuetzen 4mm Parlor Rifle

Lot #143 (Sale Order 160 of 442)

S# 77, mfg. 1884-1891 | 27” octagonal barrel | Zimmer Schuetzen rifles were a German variant of the parlor guns popular in the late 19th, early 20th century. This Lechner “Zimmerstutzen” (parlor or target rifle) is definitely an interesting piece. First, Georg Lechner was not a gunsmith. He ran a gun store in Nuremberg and was very well known during his time. This particular rifle is interesting for the following reasons. First, there are no proof marks on the barrel or on the action/receiver which means this rifle was manufactured before 1891. 2nd, The action is an Aydt action. Carl Wilhelm Aydt (C. W. Aydt) is the inventor/designer of this unique and very successful action. This particular rifle does not have the engraved “Haenel Original Aydt” on it. However, it does have something better, the Aydt mark on the barrel. You can see the “C, W and A” which stands for Carl Wilhelm Aydt. The ”A” is part of the “W”. Which means this is either a pre-Haenel Aydt or early Haenel-Aydt. That gives us a time frame of 1884 to 1891 for production. As to the loading mechanism on the barrel, it seems the original was possibly replaced with the Stiegele system later. |||| Condition: Excellent. Beautiful 90% CCH finish on receiver. 99% Blue finish on barrel with a little edge wear. Wood stock is in great, solid shape. No cracks, shows handling marks, scratches, and dings. Mechanically functions.

So if you want to be that UNIQUE Hunter in the woods with a Cartridge very few use, this is the Gun for you! Chambered in the not so common .338-378 KT. This round was designed by Elmer Keith and Bob Thompson in the 1960's as a long range elk cartridge to be used with slower burning powders available at that time, (4831 Hodgdon). They kept the Weatherby double radius shoulder but shortened the case 1/4" to better suit case capacity to the burn rate of the slower burning powders.

It was an awesome round in its time and still is! |||| Condition: Excellent. Mint stock. Beautiful finish. Nice high condition target rifle!
