Antique Japanese Signed Wakizashi in Samurai Mts. Lot #2 (Sale Order 2 of 599) Antique Japanese Signed Wakizashi in Samurai Mounts, 18.25'' shinogi-zukuri blade with partial bohi groove on one side only. Original length tang with one hole, signed ''Eshu kuni ju Kaneshige''. This Shinto period swordsmith, Kaneshige, worked in Echizen province circa 1650-1660. Blade has a nice gold washed copper habaki at the base. Tsuka handle is covered in large nodule rayskin, with old medium blue silk cord wrapping. Iron fuchi/kashira fittings with decorations of dragon flies. Menuki are mixed metal figures of a man with large hat, carrying a fishing pole or naginta pole arm. Iron tsuba sword guard with holes for kozuka and kogai, decorated with plant branches and round fruit clusters done in silver and copper. Gold-washed brass seppa spacers on either side of tsuba. Black lacquer scabbard has iron handachi style mount at lower tip that is decorated with dragonflies similar to the fuchi on the handle. There is a pocket for a kozuka with a nice unsigned brass kozuka handle decorated with plover birds in shakudo and copper. The kogatana knife blade has a very long signature. Condition is good for its age, the blade showing age graying, light rust pitting over all, and a couple of folding flaws in non critical areas. Condition of the polish makes it hard to see the metal grain or temperline, but blade is still very sharp. Rust on the tang is typical for Shinto period swords. Handle fits nice and tight; the silk cord wrapping is sound and in very good original condition. Mounts probably date to the early 1800's. Scabbard shows large cracks in the wood, losses to most of the original black lacquer finish, a poorly done re-paint, has black thread wrapped to reinforce weak points, and the kurikata is broken off. The kozuka handle shows age and minor dings, the kogatana is sound, but hard to see any temper line due to the blade condition. Est.: $500-$750.

Mounted Japanese Signed Katana w/Dragon Horimono Lot #3 (Sale Order 3 of 599) Mounted Japanese Signed Katana with Dragon Horimono, 24-7/8'' shinogi-zukuri blade with mostly suguha straight temperline. There are two spots where the temperline has triple pointed peaks along its length. One side has a nicely carved horimono of a dragon chasing a flaming ball, with a bonji character carved on the other side. Blade dates from the 1930's or 1940's, and is an oil-tempered Showato. Tang is signed ''Ido Hidetoshi'' with a Showa Arsenal stamp. Hidetoshi worked in Mino Province during the war. The habaki is plain solid brass, the seppas are aluminum. Tsuka handle is covered in small nodule rayskin and wrapped with brown silk cord. The menuki are quiver with arrows, the fuchi/kashira are plain smooth copper alloy. All the handle fittings date from the same time period as the blade or a little later. Tsuba guard is a mokko shaped iron with holes for kozuka and kogai, and is contemporary with the sword. Scabbard is wood painted with black lacquer. This sword and mountings are typical of Showa era swords mounted for export before and after WWII. Condition is very good, the blade showing a clear temper that would clean to excellent, with just some old dried oil present. Tang is original length and has the typical light reddish rust of Showa period swords. Tsuba shows some light rust overall, with a blued finish. The rayskin on the handle is cracked on one side and the handle fittings are oxidized, but wrapping is nice and tight. Scabbard shows a few chips, scratches, and scuffs to the lacquer finish, and the upper metal reinforcement band is loose. Overall a nice example with a great carved decorated blade. Est.: $500-$800.

Restored Pr. Brit. Pat. 1759 Eliott's Lt. Dragoons Lot #12 (Sale Order 12 of 599) Restored Matched Pair of British Pattern 1759 Eliott's Light Dragoon Flintlock Pistols, NVSNs, .66 ''carbine bore'' cal., 8.75'' round barrels without sights have cannon-turned rings at breech; one pistol has a ''(crown)/GR/(Broad Arrow)'' plus 2 deeply-struck proof marks at breech, other pistol just the latter marks; iron lockplates with elongated rear teats are marked ''(large crown)/GR'' ahead of cock and ''Tower'' vertically behind; brass furniture includes serpentine sideplates, trigger guards, domed buttcaps and single finials retaining brass-tipped hickory ramrods. Walnut fullstocks have raised aprons about the upper barrel tangs, raised aprons with rear teats at either side of locks; one pistol's stock is marked ''F-D'' and 2 ''Xs'' behind sideplate and ''(Broad Arrow)'' over ''B'' and ''O'' above buttcap, the other is marked ''D'' and 2 ''Xs'' behind sideplate and ''B O/(Broad Arrow)'' at right grip. Stocks and furniture of both pistols appear to be completely original; it is probable the pair was re-converted to flintlock from percussion, as barrel touchhole areas show no erosion from black powder as would be expected, have a smooth added browned finish. Likewise, both locks are likely of more recent fabrication as their markings do not conform to original 18th century lock markings, nor do they show flint wear or powder erosion. Ramrods may be of the period, but are not exact matches. Condition is good to very good as described, brass has a cleaned light patina. Stocks are solid and smooth having clear markings and minor dings from age and military service, nice grain and color, and a later varnish finish. Actions function well; smoothbores show overall light erosion, likely having been cleaned at the time of restoration. Est.: $1,800-$2,400/Pair. (Antique)

Rare Swingle & Huntington Model 1874 Lever Action Lot #60 (Sale Order 60 of 599) Rare Swingle & Huntington Model 1874 Single Shot Lever Rifle, NVSN, .44 RF cal., 26'' octagonal barrel, brass frame, mechanism and forend; straight smooth walnut stock with crescent brass buttplate. This particular rifle was featured on the cover of the November 1962 The Gun Report magazine, as well as in an extensive article. Top barrel flat is marked ''Pat. Apr. 21, 1874''. Researchers discovered that on that date Swingle & Huntington received the patent in San Francisco, CA, making this the first and perhaps the only lever action ever designed and mfg'd in the Golden State. The patent indicated that this was a repeating rifle of lever action design. It had a breechblock of the swinging upward and backward design and incorporated a push-button type hammer lock, which necessitated the unlocking of the hammer by pushing downward on this button each time the hammer was cocked. The operational procedure is unique in that with the lever in the open position, the barrel may be slid forward on steelways set into the barrel. The action ejects the fired cartridge and allows the new one to move forward for chambering. The frame, forend, lever and buttplate are brass, with the forend being permanently to the barrel by means of soldering. It is interesting to note that Frank Huntington was the owner of Globe Ironworks in San Francisco during the period of this rifle's production and was prominent in the gold fields and in railroading circles of early Calif. No doubt, according to the article, Swingle was the gunsmith and designer in this venture, and Huntington was the financial partner. The article additionally calls out this rifle as ''California's Own Yellow Boy''. Condition is excellent. Barrel retains approx. 80% thinning blue; brass components with some small dings near tip of forend. Slight birch belly walnut stock is excellent with very minor impressions. Action is good, bore is very good. Hickory and blue steel wiping rod is retained. Est.: $18,000-$24,000. (Antique)(Doug Beneck collection)
