The barrel and magazine tube are a pleasing deep gray-blue showing some scattered oxidation staining, the barrel with remnants of the lightest pinprick pitting, likely very light surface oxidation from many years ago, those areas toning to a warm plum under bright light, appearing much darker in normal ambient light.

The frame and side plates show mostly crisp edges, softening somewhat from the years, and are a deep goldenrod patina showing the expected very light handling marks or scratches that come from the years and use afield. A number of the screws still show some nice blue with some strong fire blue on the loading gate.

The left interior shows the rare casting marks of the cast sideplate, used shortly after the 20,000 serial number range, the right however is made from a solid billet and not cast. The hammer shows some lovely strong case colors left and right with a bit of muting along the spine, the lever being similar with strong colors at its root and toning to a pewter case-hardened and light plum patina over the balance of its length, the trigger as well with some strong trace colors.

The crescent buttplate retains nice edges and is a dull ocher patina, it is properly numbered ''808'' on its underside. The forend shows perhaps a bit more wear but is honest and unmolested rating about very good. The original saddle ring is in place on its stud, the rear sight is intact, the number ''282'' has been lightly stamped at the rear of the frame on the right frame flat (obviously an antique inventory number of some sort) and the action seems to function very well mechanically.

A scarce and lovely big bore Deluxe 1876 Rifle. (3F10142-1) {ANTIQUE} (10,000/20,000)

U.S. Colt Second Model Dragoon Percussion Revolver

Lot #65 (Sale Order 65 of 752)

serial #9122, .44 cal, 7 3/8'' part round part octagon barrel with an oxidized bore showing some good rifling nearer the breech. The metal surfaces of this revolver have mostly toned to a dark gray and plum-brown patina showing some scattered light oxidation staining, old light pitting and some dings along the right side around the wedge. The cylinder and loading lever assembly are a slightly lighter and smoother gray patina and are no doubt later replacements that have been re-stamped to match, the number font style not quite matching the balance of the arm. The backstrap and square-back triggerguard are a pale ocher patina showing scattered overall dings and tool marks. A couple of screws are older replacements and all original markings remain intact and quite strong, the barrel showing proper New York address and the left side frame with ''M'' inspector stamp, ''COLT'S PATENT'' and ''U.S'' property mark. There is a small punch mark below the serial number on the frame and the triggerguard is stamped with a ''K'' inspector mark. The cylinder shows no evident scene and is stamped with an ''*'' on the face and ''P'' at the rear. The bottom barrel lug shows an antique brazed repair that was certainly done during the period of use and is missed at first glance though it does leave a small gap where the barrel and frame meet. The smooth walnut grip remains in good condition as-cleaned showing some scattered fine scratches, a few small handling marks and edges a little shy of the frame; there are the faintest hints of inspector cartouches visible on either side. Beyond the loading lever and cylinder, all of the remaining serialized parts are matching in proper original font including the wedge and the action is a little stiff but generally seems to function well. A salty old Second Model Dragoon with plenty of character that would make a good addition to any Colt or U.S. martial collection. (13E10135-1) {ANTIQUE} (4000/5000)

The metal surfaces have been cleaned to gunmetal gray with sections of even pitting and a few handling marks. The five-shot cylinder is smooth with the original scene no longer visible, the patent marking, and serial number were softened from the cleaning. The brass Dragoon style grip frame is medium goldenrod with a single tiny patch of original silver plate inside the triggerguard. The smooth one-piece factory walnut grips no longer have a legible number, they have been lightly cleaned and refinished leaving the metal proud of the wood although overall condition remains excellent. The cylinder, triggerguard strap and backstrap are numbered to the gun, however the barrel is a replacement as is the un-numbered basepin. The barrel and wedge are numbered alike (#189271) with a New-York address. The rammer is numbered differently and shows a frontier replacement finger jointed to the front half of the rammer. This gun features a hammer without a roller, oval cylinder-stop holes, it still functions mechanically, the hammer has vertical movement when at rest, the fit of the lug to the frame leaves a small gap and the frame is proud of the lug. A nice gun for the upstart collector. (8A10091-13) {ANTIQUE} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (800/1200)

(2 3/4''), 30'' Vulcan steel barrels choked roughly improved cylinder and full with bright excellent bores showing the remnants of two professionally raised very small dings on the undersides about 8'' from the muzzles. The barrels are rather nice retaining about 95 to perhaps near 97% original blue, showing light fading, muzzle wear and some toning to plum near the breeches and with the factory machine crosshatching at the breech faces still mostly visible. They have the expected light scratch or handling mark here and there from the years, but all markings remain crisp. The No. 1 frame retains perhaps 80-85% fading color case-hardening, the carry point at the belly toning to a smooth pewter patina but with some vibrant colors in the areas beneath the fences, around the guard at the triggerplate, and at the top lever. The checkered capped pristolgrip American walnut buttstock rates very good plus with much original varnish and the expected light dings and handling marks that come from a field-used arm, the shield-shaped monogram plate along the toeline un-engraved and the period installed Hawkins ventilated recoil pad giving a 14 3/8'' length of pull; drops are 1 1/2'' and 2 3/8''. The splinter style forend is similar showing perhaps a bit more wear with small repaired cracks right and left at the iron, but with the release showing some good case colors, fading on the thistle tip insert. The arm locks up tightly on face with the top lever at center and seems to function very well mechanically. An excellent and solid candidate for the fall bird season with plenty of time to put it through its paces before the first week of October. (3B10159-1) {C&R} (2000/4000)

The G grade engraving remains crisp and the frame retains 99% excellent Remington-style vibrant color case-hardening with restored blue on the top lever and triggerguard. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates very fine with few mentionable dings, with the finish starting to crackle and craze, normally a result of too much hardener when the finish is applied, but on a good usable field gun is of no consequence. The splinter style forend rates excellent also as refinished, both with crisp checkering, the forend metal with excellent blue and case colors. The length of pull to the 1'' ventilated recoil pad is 14 1/2'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/4''. The gun locks up tight on-face with the top lever right of center and features double triggers, automatic safety and extractors. There is no wall thickness noted below .025'' in the left barrel nor below .027'' in the right, most being well over .030''. While Parker records indicate 30'' barrels, the umatted ''rib'' ahead of the bead appears correct, the barrels are numbered in the exact font as the frame and they very nearly touch with a .020'' gap at muzzles. A lovely close-cover GH restored to very nearly as-new that is awaiting only crisp fall mornings and a willing brace of dogs. (3B10097-19) {C&R} (2000/4000)

The hard rubber gripcap rates excellent, the German silver oval monogram plate along the toeline is un-engraved and the length of pull to the skeleton steel buttplate is 14'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/16''. The splinter forend rates very fine showing perhaps a few dings and some light wear and an old repaired chip which was nicely camouflaged along its left edge. The gun locks up tight on face with the top lever just right of center and features double triggers, automatic safety, ejectors and seems to function well mechanically. An excellent upland candidate for fall birds awaiting only your dogs. (3B10097-3) {C&R} (3000/5000)

The shotgun barrels retain perhaps 97% original blue, the loss of due to light fading and some light muzzle wear, with some lighter sprays of quality scroll on the barrel bolsters and ''Mirage'' inlaid in gold. The receiver has overall open flowing scroll and floral decoration in the Germanic style and is a pleasing tarnished pewter patina. There is a gold inlaid and chiseled flying pigeon on the belly of the frame with chiseled gold open flowing foliate scroll inlays both left and right.

A handsome 1977-made Perazzi Mirage for between the houses that likely will dust birds in style. (310151-4) {MODERN} (4000/7000)

This is a handsome pair of pistols, the barrels of both showing a fading antique brown finish toning to a pleasant smooth gray-brown patina and with nice foliate embellishments at the muzzles. The boxlock frames are a nice silvery pewter tone showing a little gray freckling and sparse pinprick pits and the triggerguards and sliding safeties show strong blue with some mild flaking and scratch marks from the bayonets. The sides of the frames show very nice tasteful border embellishments with some lovely detailed foliate flourishes showing ''MARTIN'' in riband on the left and ''GLASGOW'' on the right. The undersides of the barrels and frames show Birmingham proofs. The hammer on one pistol shows good vibrant case-hardened colors and the other is toned to pewter. The bayonets are similar to the frames and feature 2'' triangular fluted blades and their springs retain fine brilliant fire blue.

The interior is lined in blue velvet, possibly restored long ago, showing some mild scuffs and one loose partition.

A lovely little pair of pistols with desirable snap bayonets for the antique arms collector.

Pair of European Flintlock Coat Pistols

The locks feature graceful swan neck cocks, waterproof pans with bridled frizzens and frizzen springs with nice chiseled extensions. The pistols are equipped with heavy buttcaps that are somewhat loose. The checkered walnut stocks rate about very good, one pistol showing a small repaired chip at the left edge tip and the other showing a more extensive repair with a 3'' reattached portion and some filler along the left side tip and edge. The stocks otherwise just show the expected scattered small drying cracks, a couple tiny shallow chips and overall light dings with some areas of attractive subtle grain figure. The pistols are equipped with rear sights but no front sights and what appear to be the original horn ramrods are present, one is missing its worm end. Both locks seem to function well mechanically. A rather nice pair of pistols that have seen honest use. (13B10091-75) {ANTIQUE} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (1000/1500)

Rare Marlin Model 1897 Bicycle Rifle

Lot #83 (Sale Order 83 of 752)

serial #A7826, 22 LR, 20'' round barrel with a very good-fine bore which is mostly bright with sharp rifling but shows a few sparsely scattered light pinprick pits. This is an interesting rifle with its last patent date being 1892, and having the correct 16'' magazine tube. We know of correct Model 1897 Bicycle Rifles with 20'' barrels lettered from the factory, this example however too late to letter. Inspection of the front sight setback and of the crown itself does not show any evidence of shortening and the patina matches that on the balance of the gun; the Marlin 1897 catalog does mention that the bicycle rifle could be ordered in any barrel length. The barrel itself is a dark gray-blue, fading original blue with some toning to plum, it appears to retain roughly about 95% original blue under normal ambient light, with the magazine tube being a soft plum brown, the barrel showing some sparsely scattered light oxidation and the expected light handling marks here or there. The frame is a mottled mix of silvery gray and plum case-hardened patina with some trace colors evident on the hammer, the breech bolt showing some good original blue. The American walnut buttstock and forearm show a nice quality custom checkering from the period of use and rate very good to fine with only light dings and handling marks, the forearm closer to very good showing a bit more wear and more handling. The rifle is sighted with a white bead front sight, Marlin leaf sight (Lyman No. 6) and Marlin No. 2A (Lyman) tang sight. The mechanism seems to function properly. While it is too late to letter, Brophy does list that there were just two 1892 arms made with 20'' barrels, we ourselves have examined one 1897 20'' bicycle that had factory lettered, it is our feeling that this rifle is indeed correct.

Winchester Model 1890 Deluxe Slide Action Rifle

Lot #84 (Sale Order 84 of 752)

(NSN), 22 WRF, 24'' octagon barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore which shows a couple sparsely scattered spots of very light oxidation or perhaps a light spot of pitting here or there. This is a rather interesting rifle, and may be something that was an employee sale or employee put-together. The Second Model frame is obviously made before they began serial numbering them, the curved lower tang fitting the frame slightly proud along the lower edges of the receiver and where it meets at the rear of frame. The rifle itself does have Winchester proof marks on both barrel and action with the bolt numbered ''842'', as-was the side of curved lower tang, both of these numbers have been neatly ''X-ed'' out. The same die used to cancel the bolt and lower tang's numbers has been used to stamp dual X's on the left of lower tang just ahead of that number, with identical markings within the tang recess; the right of the lower tang features a boxed ''R'' inspectors marking. The rifle retains about 97 to perhaps near 98% excellent quality older restored blue which has left the proof marks somewhat light but the barrel markings crisp, the face of the frame properly ''WRF'' marked. The checkered deluxe grade American walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and grooved forend rate excellent, the forend very neatly refinished, the butt appearing original with the checkering remaining crisp, the hard rubber gripcap unblemished and the stock fitting very nicely, the lower tang just very slightly proud. The stock is numbered ''4079'' beneath the buttplate. The gun seems to function well mechanically and has a very handsome and honest appearance with the original factory bead front and Rocky Mountain rear sights intact. (3B10156-2) {C&R} (2000/2500)

This is a very handsome second model rifle with special order extra length barrel and ''button'' magazine. The barrel retains perhaps 60% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light with the balance thinning and toning to a pleasant mild gray-brown patina also showing some scattered light handling marks and a few small minor spots of old oxidation staining near the muzzle. The nosecap shows thinning mottled blue while the magazine cap is a mild silvery case-hardened patina. The action retains about 80% original bright blue lightly flaking to a nice gray-brown patina with mild edge wear, a few small dings and handling marks.

Metal-to-wood fit remains excellent and the rifle is equipped with a crescent buttplate without the cleaning rod trap, though the buttstock is inletted for the cleaning rod. The rifle is sighted with 1873-marked adjustable rear leaf sight, small German silver blade front and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included factory letter indicates the rifle was received from the warehouse and shipped as-described on May 25, 1881. A very attractive and desirable Model 1873 for the Winchester collector.

The markings remain intact and mostly strong, some of the screw heads show light slot wear and a few of them are replacements. The correct dust cover is intact and the cartridge lifter has toned to a mild ocher patina and is now devoid of markings. The plain walnut stocks remain in good condition having darkened from the years and showing a little older added finish, the buttstock with a number of thin drying cracks near the buttplate and where it meets the frame, also showing the expected scattered old dings and handling marks. There is a small decorative German silver inlay on the right side butt and a small added patchbox on the left side that is not equipped with a door and offers a view into the cleaning rod cutout. The inside lower tang and toe of the buttplate show matching assembly number ''135''. The rifle is equipped with a later-added sporting rear sight, somewhat crude blade front sight and the action is a little stiff but functional. An interesting first model likely made in early 1875.

The barrel address and patent dates remain completely intact and crisp and the revolver is equipped with a factory lanyard ring and the grip frame modified during the period of use for the attachment of a shoulder stock. The stock groove has been milled through the serial number on the base with ''3'' and ''8'' visible, the right grip panel is ''36618'' indicating this is the original number. The smooth walnut grips remain in very fine condition showing just some scattered light dings. The remaining numbered parts are all matching by assembly number, barrel-to-frame fit is excellent and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. An attractive commercial model Russian revolver. (13B10099-1) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)

Fine Merkel Model 203E Sidelock Over Under Shotgun

Lot #90 (Sale Order 90 of 752)

serial #91729, 12 ga., 28'' special Laufstahl barrels choked a light modified and a tight modified with bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 95-97% original blue, the loss is due to even fading and some very light muzzle wear, also with the scattered light scratch or scuff here and there. The barrel bolsters show some very light engraving as do the dual Kersten extensions and the barrel is fitted with dual target beads. The lockplates and frame are an attractive silvery coin finish and have overall coverage in Germanic scroll with a geometric bordering, the Suhl tradesman at his anvil on bottom of frame. The top lever and triggerguard both retain excellent original blue with the triggers remaining bright. The checkered capped English walnut pistolgrip buttstock and three piece splinter forend rate excellent with only a few scattered light handling marks here and there, more prominent on the forend. The stock features a rounded left side shadowline cheekpiece with an added recoil pad and spacer giving a 15'' length of pull to the front articulated trigger. The length of pull to the end of the wood is 13 5/8'' so if a quality horn or hard rubber plate were fitted, a respectable length of pull could still be maintained without the recoil pad and spacer which currently are fitted at the butt. Proofed in 1981, the arm features ejectors, non-automatic safety, dial-style cocking indicators and lever-style hand-detachable locks. Lockup is tight on face with the top lever just slightly right of center and the arm seems to function well mechanically. A lovely high-quality German over-under true sidelock ejectorgun.

The metal surfaces of this lovely rifle retain about 95% original rust blue showing some mild high edge wear and scattered small areas of mild thinning and toning to pleasant plum-brown patina. The bolt shows some mild thinning along the knob and light operational wear. The extractor and bolt release retain almost all of their stunning rich fire blue and the triggerguard and floorplate also have a brilliant fire blue finish, a bit paler in tone, and retaining about 98%. Evidently intended for export, the barrel address and Krupp steel markings are in English and the bolt handle root shows what appears to be a period British crown proof mark along with German ''(Crown) / B / U''. The rifle is equipped with its original quick release claw mounts which hold a period Voigtlander Skopar B riflescope with single vertical post and crosshair reticle and very fine optics. The scope body retains about 90% original blue thinning and toning to a pleasant plum-brown patina and the objective retains about 85% original black enamel showing overall light flaking along with a few small dents. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock features a graceful schnabel tip, Oberndorf side panels, and there is no cheekpiece. The stock rates very fine as very lightly and expertly cleaned long ago showing a nice period oil finish along with some scattered light handling marks. There is a very thin 3/4'' u-shaped crack along with two smaller cracks at the upper tang but they are relatively minor and the fine diamond point checkering remains intact and strong. The grooved horn buttplate remains in very fine condition showing the expected light wear. The rifle is equipped with sling swivels, double set triggers, lever release floorplate, standing 80-meter rear sight with 175-meter flip-up leaf and gold bead front. Strangely the bolt is numbered ''7271'' with all parts matching itself but appears to have been with this rifle forever and the other parts are matching either by serial number or internal assembly number. The action seems to function well mechanically, length-of-pull is 14'' and the rifle also includes an original braided brown leather Akah sling that rates very fine showing an area of mildew that will probably clean up with careful attention. Proofed in 1928, this is a wonderful classic Sauer sporting rifle. (13D10153-6) {C&R} (3500/5000)

The No. 2 frame shows some very lovely grade 3 engraving and is an overall pewter gray patina with remnants of light oxidation staining here and there, and perhaps a few spots of very light pinprick pitting, more so on the carry point at belly of frame. There are dogs left and right with a covey of quail on the belly. The checkered capped pistolgrip English walnut buttstock rates very good showing a light cleaning but with metal-to-wood fit still good, the checkering slightly flat-topped. The butt shows a small chip at the toe which was slightly sanded over, the left and right exhibiting light sanding or cleaning marks which certainly could easily be made to go away; there is a repaired 1'' crack to left of lower tang into the checkering, it is however tight and will not flex and does not appear to have traveled any further into the wood. The splinter style forend rates very good as well perhaps showing an old cleaning with a bit more wear to the checkering. The arm locks up tight on the face and the S-style curved thumbpiece lever is nearly dead center. The length of pull to the skeleton buttplate is 14 1/8'' with drops of 2'' and 3 1/8''. A respectable big 10 bore that likely has a few turkeys or geese left in her. (3B10097-9) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

The blonde walnut round-knob pistolgrip buttstock and finger groove forend are excellent and appear almost as-new showing a light handling mark here and there, they have a few very tiny blemishes and a spot or two of dust in the finish, leading us to also conclude they are masterfully redone. Included is an original two-piece factory box, it is somewhat tender and has some separated corners and a split along one edge, the end label has been re-numbered to this gun and the original cardboard inserts and manual with outer sleeve are inside. There are two very very light blemishes in the blue left and right at rear of receiver, around the rear screw; they are missed at first glance.

serial #3492, 12 ga., 28'' original Winchester barrels choked skeet 1 and skeet 2 with very fine bores, the right tube showing remnants of light oxidation and perhaps some spots of pitting, which was honed in an effort to smooth it up, this is sparsely scattered for most of the barrel's length, the left tube with merely a couple spots that are similar. The barrels exhibit 98% later, good quality blue, possibly factory done, with the lug and under flats very neatly engine turned as well as the breech faces, they are appropriately Winchester marked atop the chambers; there are couple spots of very light oxidation right at the fences. The second added set of barrels features 30'' tubes choked a light full in both with Winchester proofs and ''Winchester Proof Steel'' on their underside and have been renumbered to the gun very neatly and the chambers opened to 3''; they have bright excellent bores and appear to have 98% original blue. The frame is marked ''Trap'' on its belly and retains 98-99% factory-quality restored blue with the standing breech and water table very neatly jeweled, the markings are slightly light; the triggerguard is similar with a bit of light flaked loss on its left edge. The checkered capped pistolgrip high-gloss finish American walnut buttstock rates very fine to near excellent with few handling marks but with crazing in the finish, the highly figured crotch feather wood absolutely stunning. The blued steel gripcap retains its red ''W'' insert and the length of pull to the 1'' screen face Pachmayr pad is 15'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2''. The beavertail style forend features a similar grade of wood and again rates very fine to near excellent with few dings but with a number of areas of spiderweb crazing or light flaking which could easily be rectified. The original set of barrels locks up tight on face with the top lever slightly right of center, the second set of magnum barrels is quite a bit off-face, the top lever far enough right of center that the serial number can be viewed and with the barrels standing proud in spots at the standing breech; the gun seems to function well mechanically. Overall a very fine and likely very usable composed two barrel set that would be very versatile once the longer tubes were tightened up a bit. There is no wall thickness noted below .030'' and most well over .035''. The arm comes cased in a heavy Treadlock aluminum case with triple locks and specially cut foam insert, the case rating very good. Originally manufactured 1935. (3B10136-1) {C&R} (3000/5000)

Lot #106 (Sale Order 106 of 752)

serial #23801, .410 bore, 26'' Simmons ventilated rib barrel choked full with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% later high-quality Simmons Gun Specialties blue, done post-rib installation. The gun exhibits the excellent quality polish that Simmons is known for with some remnants of previous pitting in the matted areas atop the receiver and on the magazine tube in the areas which were not polished by Simmons (the magazine tube is satin matte finished as well). The bolt and carrier have been polished bright and remain brilliant. The checkered American walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock and extended style checkered forearm are original equipment and rate very good with the expected overall light dings, scratches and some flaking varnish, a small chip at the toe re-affixed but with a small sliver still missing there. Barrel-to-frame lockup is excellent and the gun seems to function well mechanically. A very nice Skeet Grade that could be taken afield and enjoyed in the coming fall birding seasons.

Remington Model 1889 Double Hammergun with Wells Fargo Marking

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 752)

serial #203061, 12 ga., 30'' barrels, both choked about full, with lightly and moderately oxidized and pitted bores. The barrels show some fading remnants of their damascus pattern their full length, intermingled with some soft brown oxidation, a few sparsely scattered light pits and toning to a pewter patina. The matting remains nice on the rib but with the company marking still crisp. The frame and lockplates are an overall silvery pewter and dark gunmetal gray patina with speckles of oxidation here and there but the metal is mostly smooth and has some vestiges of color case-hardening beneath the hammers. The water table is neatly stamped ''WF&C'', partially slightly off-struck. The characteristics of the marking and their location make us believe that they are authentic from the period of use, most fakers love to stamp ''Wells Fargo'' in prominent areas on the arm, and then usually more than once, this marking is not even seen unless the gun is disassembled. The checkered round knob English walnut stock rates about very good as lightly cleaned many years ago, now with a somewhat heavy coating of varnish, the checkering is all there and the original checkered hard rubber widow's peak Remington Arms buttplate is intact; the splinter forend is similar, the checkering a bit more worn. The barrels are actually on face although they do exhibit some very light lateral play and the top lever is just slightly left of center. The hammers are mostly in time and the locks seem to function properly. Included with the shotgun is a receipt from ''Bachelder Master Gunmakers'' of Grand Rapids, MI for inspection of the firearm, dated 2016 mentioning that ''comparisons with other verified guns confirms the likelihood of authentication'' assigning an approximate value then of $2500. A respectable long-barrel antique scattergun with what appears to this writer to be an authentic Wells Fargo and Company marking. (3B10052-12) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)

serial #1354436, 30 WCF, 20'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this handsome carbine retain perhaps 98% original blue, the only loss being some very light high edge wear here and there, primarily on some of the sharp edges. The Winchester proof on the barrel is somewhat light however the markings are sharp and crisp with raised metal still around the lightning bolt ''Winchester'' stamping. There are a few sparsely scattered handling marks here and there with most of the screws showing a bit of wear to their top edges but their slots remain clean. The smooth walnut buttstock and long wood forend rate very fine with the expected scattered very light dings and handling marks that come from a field-used arm, the left front of forend with one small spot of dark staining. The checkered steel buttplate shows a bit of light surface oxidation but it is unobtrusive and the factory sights including hood remain intact. The arm features a checkered hammer and the left side of the receiver is drilled and tapped for a receiver sight. The face of the breech bolt is immaculate and there is a light drag mark on the loading gate. This carbine while hunted, was extremely well-cared-for and will serve well as an investment as these arms just seem to continue to improve in value. (3A10139-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The checkered buttplate shows fading around its edges but with good blue and the original factory sights with hood remain intact; both barrel bands show a bit of scratching around the screw recesses. These high condition carbines have taken a jump recently and will only continue to improve as the years pass. (3A10139-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The boxlock frame and forend iron are in excellent condition showing slight silvering on the edges of the belly and some light oxidation on the belly and a few specks beneath the lever, the remaining surfaces retaining strong casehardened color beginning to tone darker but still retains iridescent hues. The engraving remains crisp throughout, the three pheasant on the belly only slightly obscured by specks of oxidation, and is a faithful reproduction of Parker's DHE patterns; both sets of barrels and the forend are numbered to the shotgun. The nicely figured checkered pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in excellent condition with only the tiniest and very sparse handling marks here and there.

A lovely small-bore two-barrel set. (1410097-28) {MODERN} (5000/7000)

Lot #111 (Sale Order 111 of 752)

serial #1469737, 32 Win. Spcl., 20'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces on this nice flat-band carbine retain about 95% original blue, the loss is due to some high edge wear and fading on the carry point with a bit of loss on the right side of the barrel which has resulted in some very fine pinprick pits in a couple areas. In addition to the expected light handling marks, there are a few flakes of very light surface oxidation present on the left receiver flat but they are unobtrusive. The smooth walnut buttstock and long wood forend both rate very good showing the expected light dings and handling marks that come from a hunted arm and the screw slots remain unmolested. The original sights are intact including the front sight hood. While hunted, the arm seems to have seen very little actual use, with a very slight drag mark on the loading gate and the breech face retaining all of its original blue. Overall an excellent flat-band long wood 94 Carbine to oil up and leave in the safe. (310139-4) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Lot #112 (Sale Order 112 of 752)

serial #3424, 38 Colt, 3 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore showing the faintest frosting in the grooves with otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this early 1878-made revolver retain about 80% original nickel finish with most of the loss due to flaking along the cylinder and gripstraps to a pewter gunmetal and mild gray-brown patina along with some other scattered light handling marks and minor freckling. One of the cylinder flats does show a small moderate ding that impinges slightly into the chamber and there is an area of faint scratches along another flat but these are relatively unobtrusive. There are a number of tiny dings at the toe of the backstrap obscuring the serial number somewhat and some of the screw heads show slot wear but all remaining markings otherwise remain completely intact and quite crisp including the nice etched ''COLT D.A. 38'' on the left side barrel. The protected areas of the trigger and back surface of the hammer retain much of their stunning brilliant fire blue with mild overall silvering and a couple screw heads also show nice fire blue. The flat side of the base pin head has been ground down very slightly for some reason and there is no loading gate present. The revolver wears its original desirable one-piece checkered hard rubber grip with Rampant Colt in an oval on either side. The grip is pencil-numbered matching and remains in very fine to near excellent condition showing just a hint of mild smoothing and a few tiny handling marks scattered about. The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically in single and double action with very good timing and lock-up.

There are some smaller areas of light oxidation and handling marks scattered about. The black checkered hard rubber panels remain in very good condition showing an area of moderate scuffs along the backstrap and the frame panel exhibiting some mild warping.

The wedge is un-numbered, the loading gate, conversion plate and arbor are matching by assembly number and the other parts are matching by serial number. Barrel-to-frame fit exhibits some play as the arbor is a little loose and the hammer is a little loose when it is all of the way forward but the action is otherwise functional with good timing and lock-up. A very respectable example of these desirable early Colt cartridge revolvers. (13B10091-60) {ANTIQUE} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (1800/2200)

Lot #116 (Sale Order 116 of 752)

The barrel and magazine of this late production 1920-made rifle retain about 98% original blue showing a few light marks from takedown and a couple sparsely scattered mild freckles. The takedown boss and nosecap retain about 90% original bright blue with most of the loss due to some light flaking along the nosecap.

The lower tang shows evidence of polishing before finishing leaving the patent dates only partially intact, the finish otherwise appears to be factory, the remaining markings remain intact and strong. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good plus condition perhaps showing a touch of added finish showing just a few light dings and some scattered handling marks.

Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine

Lot #117 (Sale Order 117 of 752)

(NSN), 44 CF, 20'' barrel with a fair to perhaps near good bore which shows evident rifling but light and moderate pitting its full length. This is a rather interesting Saddle Ring Carbine that appears to have been heavily cleaned some years ago, that cleaning removing any and all factory markings, but comparing it to other 1866 carbines, definitely appears to be an original Winchester specimen rather than a period European copy. The iron surfaces are a deep plum brown patina showing some soft oxidation, the magazine tube with scattered pitting and a couple of dings. The brass frame and side plates are a dull goldenrod-ocher patina, all of the edges softened from cleaning, showing some light ripples on the left side from the buffing, but with the saddle ring and staple remaining intact; the saddle ring is wrapped with an ancient woven cord which shows a good deal of use, the cleaning was clearly done many many years ago. The buttstock rates good showing a repair to a crack emanating at the rear of the tang beneath the point of comb nearly the full length to the toe, stopping short by about 3''. It has been re-varnished with a replaced chip on the right side and the metal is now slightly proud overall. The left side of the tang is assembly numbered ''2455'', this number is repeated within the upper tang inletting of the buttstock and appears correct. The forend rates fair to perhaps good with added varnish, both edges of the top have been sanded down quite a bit exposing more of the barrel than is normally seen. There is a what appears to be the original simple front sight intact, the rear sight appears to be a period replacement or perhaps a repair to the original sight, the standing leaf now somewhat rudimentary. As-mentioned all markings were removed and ''Winchester Repeating Arms New Haven CT'' has been hand-stamped between the rear band and rear sight and the left side of the barrel reads ''44 Henry or 44 Russian'', while the tang is marked ''Model 1866''. All of these are stamped with single hand-stamps, however they were neatly lined up. The breech bolt is likely a replacement from the period of use and is now centerfire with a small washer soldered or otherwise affixed to the face during the conversion. A couple of the screws are later period replacements and all of the screw heads have had their heads polished flat. While showing its age somewhat, this is still a representative example piece for the fledgling collector that certainly won't break the bank. (3A10091-197) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Winchester Pre ‘64 Model 94 Lever Action Carbine

The breech face of the bolt retains all its original blue, the loading gate shows no drag mark nor wear and the blue within the chamber remains vibrant. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend rate very fine to excellent with only sparse very light handling marks. The original factory sights including the hood are intact and the buttplate retains nearly all its blue with a couple flecks of light surface oxidation. An excellent 94 carbine to oil and put away in the safe. (3A10139-2) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Marlin Model 336A Employee Retirement Rifle

Lot #119 (Sale Order 119 of 752)

serial #R 26387, 30-30 Win, 24'' micro groove barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a rather interesting rifle, consigned by a Connecticut consignor who states that the rifle was a gift for a Marlin employee upon their retirement. Looking at the exceptionally fancy extra deluxe grade wood in both buttstock and forend, one can see why. This appears to be an early iteration of the first variation of the 336A, the ''R'' prefix used 1957-1958, the first variation being the Monte Carlo style stock with the beavertail style forend. The rifle retains about 99% original blue, the bolt remaining bright, with perhaps a very sparsely scattered very minor handling mark or light scratch here or there. The extra deluxe buttstock features a left-side cheekpiece in addition to the Monte Carlo, crisp checkering and absolutely stunning grain figure, there are a few drying checks from the years in the highly figured wood. The forend also is neatly checkered and the wood is stunning throughout. The Marlin bull's-eye is intact and the arm appears factory fitted with sling swivel studs and the factory sights are intact, the rear being a correct Lyman folding leaf No 16B sight. Both forend and buttstock rate excellent, the forend also with a couple of light drying checks, each with perhaps minor handling marks or dings here and there. The lower right tang is stamped ''XX'' while the upper left tang is numbered ''6387''. The gun is really lovely and if it was used at all, was lovingly cared for. A really super example of an ''extra deluxe'''' Marlin 336A, no doubt truly an employee presentation gun. (310173-16) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Extremely Rare German Ruhrstahl X-4 Air-to-Air Missile

Lot #150 (Sale Order 150 of 752)

This is an original example of a very rare German Second World War X-4 air-to-air missile. This example is made up of original and later restored parts, the bulk of the body and all internals are original German pieces. Developed by Dr Max Kramer at Ruhrstahl AG in 1943-44, the X-4 was designed to be used against Allied bombers, just outside of the range of their defensive guns. The rocket is fin-stabilized and had a Kranich acoustical proximity fuze warhead, tuned to 200 Hz, the frequency cycle of the B-17's engines at cruise. Also spin-stabilized at about 60 rpm, the missile was guided by two wires which unwound from aerodynamic bullet-shaped fairings mounted on the main fins trailing about 3.4 miles of wire. These wires were controlled by a joystick in the cockpit the pilot would use to steer the missile toward the targeted aircraft. The warhead consisted of a 44 pound high explosive fragmentation device with a lethal radius of about 26 ft. The airframe of the X-4 consists of a cylindrical body 75'' in length and about 8 3/4'' maximum diameter on-which are mounted four large plywood fins fitted to the midsection of the missile and four small tail fins, in-which the rake spoilers are mounted. The main wing span is roughly about 23'' and steering is effected by means of rake spoilers located in the tail fins. The rocket was powered by a BMW 109-548 liquid-fuel rocket engine using a fairly dangerous mix of liquid rocket fuel giving about 310 pounds of initial thrust over a 17 second burn. Our example features an original warhead/nosecone, fuse housing, airframe-body with internal fuel coils, air canister and other internals, air bottle and BMW rocket engine and exhaust venturi nozzle. The warhead, mock proximity fuse (the fuse is made of wood and perhaps was to test aerodynamics?) and fuel body are painted in red ''9399'', the warhead also lightly engraved ''empty'' perhaps by ordnance or whomever attained the example post-war. The main fuel body is stamped ''388647'' along with a ''P'' along with ''V23'' in a small half-circle and ''BAL/592'' within an octagon, adjacent to this radially is ''109.548-JGZ'' (The model of the engine and JGZ, the ordnance code for BMW Flugmotorenbau Werk Munich, maker of the engine). The rear face of the air bottle on the interior of the missile is marked similarly with the half-circle with ''V39'' within with a capital ''R'' and capital ''SV'' stamp twice on its rear face. The plywood fins and canisters on the end of each are nicely made post-war replacements, doubtless the actual original plywood fins deteriorated years ago, as well the small electrical interface atop the body appears to be a later replacement mockup and the tail cone (covering) may be a postwar restoration as well. The first flight test of the X-4 occurred on August 11, 1944, using a Focke-Wulf Fw 190. There were subsequent tests planned for Junkers Ju 88, Messerschmitt Me 262 and DO 335 which never materialized. It is estimated about 1000 units were produced, most of these were destroyed by Allied bombing, with a small handful of these rockets in museums around the world. Included with our example are numerous photographs of the interior pieces taken by the former owner when he had the rocket completely apart for restoration, US Ordnance reports on the missile, and numerous interesting downloads from the web including the original owners very own X-4 website ''Ray's Home Page'' also with images of the rocket apart. Obviously due to the size and fragility of this rare artifact, extra shipping and crating will apply. An interesting and never-before-encountered rarity for the advanced World War II collector and the only known example in private hands. (3E7015-15) (4000/6000)

The left side of the butt is inlaid with a neatly engraved silver presentation plate that reads ''Presented to / SERGT. GEORGE T. MUSSON / BY / Company K. 23rd. Regt. N.G.S.N.Y. / October 1891.'' According to Adjutant General reports, George T. Musson saw long and distinguished service in the New York Guard. He is listed in the 1899 report as being appointed Captain and Inspector of Small Arms Practice of the 23rd Regiment on May 5, 1898. He joined Company K in 1873 as a private, becoming Corporal in 1879 and Sergeant in 1882 (which would fit the time period for the presentation of this rifle). Earlier reports have him routinely qualifying as Marksman or Sharpshooter. He finally retired in August 1909 as a Brevet Major after 36 years of service. A fine New York State target rifle presented to a long-serving soldier that would make an excellent addition to any martial or Remington collection.

A nice example if a desirable Smith. (13B9100-28) {ANTIQUE} [Richard ''Stretch'' Kennedy Collection] (1000/1500)

Lot #237 (Sale Order 237 of 752)

serial #P79258, 22 LR, 6'' full lug ventilated rib barrel with an excellent bore. This gun remains in excellent unfired condition with about 99% original blue finish. The service trigger and target hammer retain full blue with bright sides on the hammer. The checkered walnut factory grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions rate excellent. The revolver features a serrated ramp front sight, Colt Accro adjustable rear sight, and functions mechanically. A defect in the factory workmanship was discovered: during the polishing too much metal was removed from cylinder stop lug on the sideplate, allowing the whole cylinder assembly to move rearward during the ejection-cycle. Colt was contacted as the gun was clearly made this way and they will not correct the problem as this model gun is no longer produced. The revolver includes the original factory woodgrain box that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun, the end label fell off but is provided. It also includes a manual and paperwork. This would make a great representative Diamondback for display or a good project gun for a skillful artisan. (8A9654-51) {MODERN} (1000/1500)

The triggerguard shows excellent original blue at its root, with toning to plum on the bow and frontstrap, the backstrap has toned primarily to a plum and pewter.

Interesting Abercrombie & Fitch Greifelt Sportmodel Bolt Action Rifle Belonging to Philip M. Plant

Lot #241 (Sale Order 241 of 752)

serial #3071, 22 Hornet, 22'' barrel with a bright very good bore which shows sharp rifling but a few scattered light pits. This is a rather storied rifle, having belonged to two prominent sportsmen. First sold in September 1936 to Michael Lerner, internationally known big-game hunter and a deep-sea fisherman who collected specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. Lerner returned the rifle to A&F a mere seven days later, it subsequently selling in October of that year to Philip M Plant. Plant was heir to a railroad fortune and perhaps best known for his somewhat short marriage to famous actress Constance Bennett sister of actress Joan Bennett and daughter of actor Richard Bennett. Described in his obituary as a ''wealthy sportsman'', Plant made numerous trips big game hunting in Africa, he himself providing specimens to the American Museum of Natural History, harvesting a lion grouping, a warthog grouping and a colobus monkey troop. It is no stretch to imagine Mr. Plant using this rifle either abroad or here in the states. The arm certainly shows good honest use but no abuse. The metal surfaces are a mix of dark gray fading original blue and a smooth pewter gunmetal patina with honest wear, the barrel showing scabbard use, but no mentionable pitting and only a few spots of light oxidation staining. The checkered round knob pistolgrip now rates perhaps very good, its checkering worn nearly smooth, with the expected dings and handling marks that come from a field-used arm, but showing some lovely grain figure hiding in the butt and beneath the receiver; it shows perhaps an inch of cast-off allowing quick scope acquisition. The checkered bone buttplate shows much wear from the years and some flaking with a small chip at its toe, the stock with a small 1 3/4'' sliver missing at the left of the nose. The rifle features a Lyman front atop the Greifelt ramp and a dual leaf express rear sight, the standing leaf remaining present, the folding leaf absent, the receiver with a Lyman WGS receiver sight and factory fitted is a Carl Zeiss Zielklein 2 1/4 X telescopic sight. The scope itself shows the same honest use as the rifle and features a post and crosshair reticle with fairly bright, very serviceable optics. The rifle comes with four very rare original magazines and the leather carry case for the detachable scope. Two Griffin & Howe letters are also included detailing the A&F inventory books and brief histories of the men who both owned this same rifle. A photocopy of the original page in the record book, some ancestry on Lerner and Plant, pages from the A&F catalog showing the rifle and it specifications and a photocopied newspaper clipping about the famous actress Connie Bennett trying to obtain the last of his money after his sad death at just 39 years old. A very storied and quality-made rifle that no doubt still spins a bullet very well. (3B10156-7) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Winchester Pre-War Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #242 (Sale Order 242 of 752)

The metal surfaces on this classic turn-bolt rifle return perhaps 97% original blue, the primary loss due to fading or sharp edge wear of the bottom metal, the bolt knob as well toning to a pewtery patina. The bolt body remains mostly bright showing only operational wear and is correctly DC pencil-numbered to the gun on its underside. The checkered American walnut pistolgrip stock rates excellent with a few small handling marks here or there but one must really search for them. The rifle is sighted with a simple square blade front, the rear sight boss with a blank and a Lyman 48 receiver sight mounted on the receiver, it did not require the stock be inletted for the base, there was a small hole drilled beneath the base to accommodate the elevation screw. The gun seems to function well mechanically, there has been one additional hole drilled and tapped for a scope base on the rear receiver ring, and there are some light impressions in the blue where scope bases were once mounted but they are unobtrusive. A classic vintage prewar hunting rifle that is ready for the November woods. (3A10082-78) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The wide buttplate shows an engraved long upper tang and there is a diminutive lightly engraved brass toeplate. The maple stock rates excellent and is stained a dark walnut-tone showing fiddleback figure for much of its length and is otherwise unadorned, the sideplate showing some light engraving. Equipped with a slightly ornate trigger, the lock functions well mechanically and the original ramrod is included. While showing evidence of having been fired and clearly used, the arm appears to have been well cared for. Sadly no more of these fine rifles will be had as Tip Curtis has left us last year, his son Tippy still carrying on making quality primitive knives. (3B10018-19) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

The bolt hold-open does not engage properly and the front magazine cross pin is missing but the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically.

Unmarked Imported Iron Guard Model 1860 Cavalry Saber

Lot #273 (Sale Order 273 of 752)

40 1/2'' overall length, 34 1/2'' curved single-edged blade with wide and narrow fullers, rounded spine, 7 1/2'' false edge and trailing point. Except for the ''1861'' date on the obverse ricasso, the blade is unmarked. The steel blade has been cleaned bright and retains a speckled smoky gray patina throughout as well as unmistakable watery black splashes of blood corrosion along the primary bevel and at the tip. This weapon was no doubt used in battle and, for whatever reason, not fully cleaned until well after the fact. The edge appears to have been re-honed while in service and remains cutting-sharp, particularly in the last quarter of the blade and along the false edge, and the few minute nicks have been mostly dressed out. The hilt is a half-basket comprising a knucklebow and two branches extending to a plain Phrygian pommel. Though the design is clearly based off of the federal pattern, the guard and pommel are iron rather than brass. The black leather grip is wound by 17 strands of twisted steel wire. The guard and pommel are in fine condition as cleaned, with moderate smoothed pitting across the surface and wide areas of dark brown patina through-which the silvery-gray tone of the base iron occasionally peeks. The grip rates near excellent with some light scuffing along the spine and the wire strands rate excellent. The included steel scabbard bears a deep brown and ochre patina and moderate pitting across the surface through-which areas of gold-toned original nickel finish are still visible. A rare example of what is likely a Confederate cavalry saber, this ''fought'' weapon wears its grim history on its face. (12C9373-12) (1200/1800)

The middle breech plug link is numbered ''6 / 52'' and the remaining numbered parts are matching by assembly number ''14''. A spare nipple and a lead Minie ball are present in the patchbox, an unmarked ramrod is present and the action seems to function well mechanically. Only 770 of these rifles were purchased by the U.S. government during the Civil War and were primarily issued to the 21st Indiana. Smaller quantities were also used by sharpshooters in the 7th and 10th Michigan, 4th Arkansas and 1st Massachusetts.

The action is toning to a mottled gray-brown patina showing some old oxidation staining and retaining a generous amount of attractive case-hardened colors lurking about, particularly strong under the sling bar. The lever shows flaking bright blue and the tangs retain a healthy amount of brilliant original bright blue. All markings remain intact and strong and the screw heads are clean retaining nice bright blue. The smooth walnut stock and forend remain in very fine condition retaining most of their original oil finish showing a small moderate abrasion on the underside of the forend, a few smaller dings and light handling marks. The buttstock retains strong inspector cartouches, all of the serialized parts are matching and the action functions crisply. An attractive Burnside carbine for the U.S. martial collector.

Very Fine Colt Model 1877 Lightning Double Action Revolver

Lot #276 (Sale Order 276 of 752)

serial #165178, 38 Colt, 6'' barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a few tiny pinprick pits and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this very late 1909-made revolver retain about 95-96% original nickel finish with most of the loss due to some very fine flaking to gray-brown patina near the breech, edges of the cylinder and grip frame along with some scattered light handling marks and very fine bubbling. The trigger, base pin and back surface of the hammer retain strong brilliant fire blue with some minor silvering and freckling, the side of the hammer remaining partially bright. All markings remain intact and crisp, the left side frame showing nice circled Rampant Colt and the triggerguard with factory ''VP'' proof.

A very handsome long-barreled Lightning made in the final year of production. (13B9997-302) {C&R} [John Lipski Collection] (1200/1800)

The frame is now a mix of soft plum and gunmetal gray with both hammer and trigger similar. The backstrap is a dull goldenrod patina while the triggerguard has some trace silver at its root. The one piece walnut grip rates very fine showing much original varnish and wear along the sharp edges left and right at the butt, it is numbered to the gun in antique ink pen. All of the numbers are matching with the exception of the wedge which is numbered to a different gun and the gun functions well mechanically (both of the barrel lineup pins are broken off in their recesses in the barrel but would be a very simple fix for any gunsmith if one wished). A respectable 1863-made Police Model which certainly could have spent some time in a belt holster during the Civil War. (39997-361) {ANTIQUE} [John Lipski Collection] (1200/1800)

The barrels show a strong star damascus pattern their full length, restruck many years ago, a few small spots of easily missed pinprick to light pitting, and the rib has been lightly resoldered on the underside in a few spots starting about 3'' from the muzzle. The frame and forend iron have a mixed silvery casehardened patina with areas toned to gunmetal gray and scattered small spots of light pitting and light oxidation staining, the greatest concentration of which is found on the triggerguard. The checkered straight grip walnut stock is in near excellent condition as lightly cleaned with traces of a glossy finish in spots, the steel buttplate proud at the widow's peak, and showing exceptional feathercrotch figure, and the checkered splinter-style forend is in near excellent condition with a small expertly repaired chip near the metal forend tip insert, a small ding near the base, and a glossy finish; the checkering on the stock and forend has likely been refreshed. The frame is lightly decorated with floral border engraving, touches of foliate scroll, and game scenes on either lockplate, the barrel and forend are numbered to the shotgun, and ''PARKER BROS MAKER MERIDEN CONN' DAMASCUS STEEL'' is very lightly visible on the rib. The barrels are off-face with slight lateral movement when the action is locked-up. The hammers are in-time, the triggerguard features a flared rear acting as a pistolgrip, and the shotgun is sighted with a single bead that is a likely more contemporary replacement. The shotgun appears to function well mechanically. A beautiful Parker Brothers underlifter from before official grades were established. (14C10052-7) {ANTIQUE} (2000/4000)

Lot #286 (Sale Order 286 of 752)

serial #1773, 16 ga. (2 9/16''), 26'' barrels, the right tube choked cylinder, the left full, showing bright very fine bores which show remnants of sparsely scattered very light pinprick pitting, the right tube with a very tiny ding near the muzzle which is barely noticeable and hardly worth the mention. The barrels are a very pleasing chain pattern damascus finish for most of their length, fading to a pewtery patina in the carry point above the forend. They feature a nice sunken hand matted rib, the right marked ''Winner Of The Gold-Medal London 1870'', the left ''Winner Of The Field 20 Guinea Prize For Choke Bores London 1879'' the center of the rib maker-marked, with a nice spray of engraving on the doll's head extension. The Anson & Deely patent frame is a pleasing silvery case-hardened patina with some smoky colors behind the arcaded fences. It shows excellent quality tight English scroll in perhaps 70% coverage, the bottom plate retaining some fading blue, the top of the frame maker-marked in riband surrounding the top lever. The checkered round knob pistolgrip English walnut buttstock rates very good with much original varnish and the overall expected very light dings and handling marks from use afield. There is a nicely camouflaged plugged hole where there was a likely once a swivel stud, the left side of the tang showing where a prominent chip was extremely neatly repaired, the original piece being re-affixed, it is missed at first glance. The length of pull to the grooved horn buttplate is 14 1/16'' with drops of 1 5/8'' and 2 3/4 and just a tad of cast-off; the plate shows a bit of flaking and some light insect damage. The diminutive splinter forend with Anson release rates very fine to perhaps excellent with crisp checkering. Lockup is tight on-face with the dual under bites and doll's head third bite. No wall thickness is noted below .030'', most being well over .035'', the right barrel shows a bit of jug choke to the rear of the muzzle about 2 1/2'', the bore measuring .665'' most of its length, opened to a maximum of .678'', jugged for about three quarters of an inch. The underside of the barrels are Birmingham proofed and marked ''not for ball''. Features double triggers, automatic safety with ''safe'' inlaid in gold and extractors; the gun seems to function well mechanically and weighs in at just a smidge over 5 1/5 Lbs. A fast handling British double gun that points wonderfully. (3B10156-6) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Jim Kibler Flintlock Southern Mountain Rifle

Lot #287 (Sale Order 287 of 752)

.36 cal., 45 1/2'' barrel, very lightly swamped, with a bright excellent, likely unfired, bore. This is a lovely example of Jim Kibler's ''Southern Mountain Rifle'' offering. Whether this is one of his kits or was assembled and finished by him is not known. The quality of the work is absolutely flawless and I would imagine it was indeed done by him, if not the builder certainly had a degree of talent. All of the metal surfaces are dull gunmetal gray, showing a very tiny bit of light surface oxidation on a couple of the diagonal flats and atop the swan neck cock at the top jaw guide. There is a simple blade style front sight and flat-top u-notch rear and a couple of minor abrasions midway down the barrel that look like rack wear. The full-length American walnut stock rates as-new with perhaps a very tiny handling mark here or there, featuring the signature flat-bottom cheekpiece these rifles come with. The arm is equipped with double set triggers and the lock is dual acting and the original ramrod is included. While the roller frizzen shows evidence of having been sparked, the rifle appears overall otherwise as-new but for the few little spots of oxidation, which would readily clean. Kibler's kits are styled after an original mountain rifle built by Joseph Whitson of Western North Carolina. A really lovely ''po-boy'' Longrifle. (3A10018-23) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

Lot #288 (Sale Order 288 of 752)

serial #7270, 12 ga. (2 1/2''), 30'' barrels choked a light full in each with very fine bores which show remnants of some light oxidation and perhaps scattered light pitting, likely honed some years ago. They exhibit a fading light and dark gray damascus star pattern their full length with some areas of light oxidation and perhaps some sparse pinprick pits, the rib matting strong as well as the barrel marking. The frame is a silvery case-hardened and pewter patina with some remnants of oxidation staining on the belly with perhaps a few very light pinprick pits. It shows light borderline engraving with simple engraving around the screws, pivot point and to the rear of the fences, the typical Colt patent date on the belly. The checkered flat bottom pistolgrip English walnut stock rates very good with overall light dings, scratches and handling marks, the silver oval monogram plate along the toeline un-engraved. The length of pull to the checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt buttplate is 14 3/8'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 3''. The buttplate has a small chip missing from the toe with a small flake of wood missing ahead of it. The splinter style forend rates very good as well showing a bit more wear with its ebony tip insert intact. The gun locks up tight on face and there is no wall thickness noted below .027'' with most well over .030''. An attractive vintage Colt that would be fun to put through the paces afield.

Colt US Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver

Lot #289 (Sale Order 289 of 752)

serial #16685, .44 cal., 8'' barrel with a fair bore which is moderately and heavily oxidized. This revolver has clearly been cleaned, the barrel and loading rod have softened edges with only remnants of the barrel address remaining and overall light pinprick pits beneath, vestiges of the serial number also visible, the metal now a plum brown patina. The cylinder is blue and has no evidence of a cylinder scene nor numbers showing remnants of light pitting beneath the blue, many of the hammer rest pins remain intact. The balance of the iron surfaces are a soft plum patina, the frame being marked only ''Patent'' with a number of the screws being cleaned-off flush with the frame, the frame a four screw example that would've taken a shoulder stock; the triggerguard is a dull goldenrod patina. The one piece walnut grip rates very good with some light dings and handling marks, a couple chips at their leading edges, the right side showing wear along the sharp edge of the butt, the left side with a still-visible cartouche, the grip frame does not want to readily disassemble, however the grip fit is excellent and it has clearly been there a very long time. Numbers are matching on barrel, frame, triggerguard and the arbor shows an old repair, there are no other discernible numbers; the arm functions loosely mechanically and the rear edge of the barrel has been very slightly shortened, perhaps to tighten up cylinder gap but the serial number is still discernible under magnification. A somewhat tired but good ''example'' piece. (39997-384) {ANTIQUE} [John Lipski Collection] (700/900)

Johan Nowotny “Second to None” Sideplated Double Ejectorgun

Lot #290 (Sale Order 290 of 752)

Description Update 8/25/21: Small chip missing rear right edge of forend

serial #12956, 16 ga. (2 1/2''), 29'' barrels choked full in both with bright very fine to perhaps near excellent bores, showing some sparse remnants of some very light oxidation here and there. This is a very interesting and quality-made gun, Nowotny being a very prolific high-quality Czech maker. The barrels are a mix of soft brown and fading dark gray-blue patina, showing scattered very light oxidation here and there which has resulted in a spot or two of some scattered pinprick pitting which is very unobtrusive (there is only one noticeable pit midway down the right barrel). The concave rib is neatly matted and there is light engraving at the breech rib extension. The frame and scant chiseled sideplates are a pewter and a silvery case-hardened patina and show some nice quality scroll and floral engraving in perhaps 60% coverage with arcaded sideclipped fences. The bottom plate is maker marked ''J Nowotny Prague''. The straight grip French walnut buttstock rates about very good with overall light dings and handling marks, somewhat worn checkering, but the wood is unmolested, the splinter style forend shows a bit more wear with the checkering worn nearly smooth in spots. The length of pull from the articulated front trigger to the grooved horn buttplate is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 3/8'' and 2 1/4''. The arm features ejectors, double triggers, the front articulated, and automatic safety with crescent moon inlaid in gold indicating the gun is ''on safe''. There is no wall thickness noted below .026'', with most well over .035'', both tubes show remnants of some very nicely raised very light dings. The gun seems to lockup tightly with the top lever drifting ever so slightly left of center, and the thinnest whisker of light is visible at the breeches, the gun otherwise seems to function very well mechanically. A very interesting quality-made Czech double ejectorgun, exhibiting German proofs dated 1922, that likely has some life left in her after a bit of attention. (3A10156-1) {C&R} (700/900)

The American black walnut stock rates excellent to as-new and is neatly, coarsely checkered at the wrist in a wrap-around pattern, each of the stock flats with dropper points at their rears. The barrel is retained by dual wedges through oval German silver escutcheons and there are German silver flower petal lock screw washers; a rectangular monogram plate atop the wrist is un-engraved. A very nicely executed smoothbore blackpowder Fusil that should be back afield this fall. (3A10018-27) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)

Unmarked French Sideplated Double Shotgun

Lot #292 (Sale Order 292 of 752)

serial #1695, 20 ga. (2 1/2''), 25 3/4'' Breuil-Aulagnier barrels choked about cylinder and full, with bright excellent bores. While the barrels have many proofs and are dual maker-marked by Breuil-Aulagnier there are no maker markings on the gun proper, yet it seems to be quality constructed throughout. It is ''funeral grade'' in that it is overall blued, exhibiting no signs of being refinished or having once been color case-hardened, there are no remnants of oxidation or pitting anywhere on the arm. Overall it retains 98% original blue with the light open engraving being quite crisp on the frame and sideplates, the water table being marked only ''A Pascal''. The straight grip French walnut buttstock rates very fine showing a bit of added finish but with good checkering and some nice grain figure; the forend appears unmolested and has a number of light dings or handling marks here and there but with good checkering. There has been a Jostam recoil pad added during the period of use giving a 14 1/2'' length of pull, showing drops of 1 3/4'' and 2 3/4'' with about 3/4'' of cast-off. The arm features a nice sunken rib with a single brass bead front and has double triggers, extractors and non-automatic safety. A few of the screw heads show some light wear but the gun seems to function properly mechanically although the safety goes into the ''on safe'' position a bit stiffly. Lockup is tight on face with dual under bites and concealed third fastener, the top lever still right of center. (3A10097-6) {C&R} (750/900)

serial #33981, 12 ga., 28'' barrels un-choked with very fine to excellent bores which show remnants of some light oxidation or the very lightest pinprick pitting, the left tube showing a small 3'' scratch and a very tiny ding hardly worth the mention. The barrels show nice contrasting swirled damascus pattern their full lengths, muting a bit in the carry area at the breeches. The rib is maker marked with the St. Mary Square address along with ''Winner At All Gun Trials 1875 to 1891'' with the treble wedge fast patent marking at rear of rib. The frame retains perhaps 40% original color case-hardening, primarily on the flats beneath the barrels, the balance a tarnished pewter gray patina with light oxidation. It features tight scroll in about 30% coverage, the triggerguard retaining some good blue on the bow with strong blue on the top lever. The checkered scant pistolgrip English walnut buttstock rates very good with the expected light dings and handling marks that come from a hunted arm, the right edge of pistolgrip with a pronounced ding. The splinter style forend shows perhaps a bit more wear and has its nice horn tip insert intact. The length of pull to the checkered horn buttplate is 14 1/8'' showing drops of 1 3/4'' and 2 3/4'' with perhaps 3/4'' of cast-off. The gun locks up tightly on face with dual under bites and Greener crossbolt, the action is a bit sluggish however, the top lever needing to be helped just a bit, but the arm seems to function properly mechanically. There is no wall thickness loaded below .030'' in the right tube nor below .026'' in the left, most well in excess of .035''. No doubt a sturdy 2 3/4'' gun for fall birds after a diligent cleaning.

Fabrique Nationale Magazine Sporting Rifle

Lot #294 (Sale Order 294 of 752)

serial #2310, 338 Win Mag, 24'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This well-made sporter is built on a commercial FN action. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original blue, the loss is due to some scattered light flaking here and there caused by light surface oxidation which has been removed, a couple of these have resulted in very light pinprick pitting but it is certainly unobtrusive. The bolt body remains bright with a bit of oxidation staining on the extractor, the handle is numbered to the receiver on its underside. The rifle is beautifully stocked in curly maple which shows fiddleback figure its entire length. It features a flared semi-rollover Monte Carlo cheekpiece, rosewood forend tip and rosewood pigsfoot-style gripcap. There are nice checkered panels at forearm and wrist and the length of pull to the 1'' ventilated recoil pad is 13 1/4''. The stock itself rates very good with the expected light dings, scratches or handling marks that come from a hunted arm. The commercial action features a hinged floorplate and right-side thumb safety and currently mounted are a pair of 1'' rings atop a one-piece Redfield base. Strangely unsigned, this is a perfectly executed sporter with a very lovely piece of wood, in a very respectable hard-hitting chambering. (3A10111-2) {MODERN} (700/900)

German K98k Bolt Action Rifle by Mauser

Lot #295 (Sale Order 295 of 752)

serial #8659a, 8mm Mauser, 24'' barrel with a partially bright very good bore showing some oxidation and fine pitting in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this byf 42-coded rifle retain about 80-85% original blue with most of the loss due to some overall light oxidation staining with some scattered light dings and handling marks. The rear band and bolt knob are toning to dark brown and the rear sight leaf and extractor are a mottled gray patina. The receiver markings remain crisp and clear showing proper ''(Eagle) / 135'' Waffenamts along the right side ring. The smooth laminated hardwood stock and handguard remain in about very good plus condition showing scattered light dings and handling marks with a few more moderate abrasions along the left side, most noticeable on the pistolgrip and toe line. The upper tang is a little proud of the stock and the toe line shows a crisp stamped number that appears to be matching, the ''5'' apparently double-struck or mis-struck. There is also a ''c'' along the toe line, ''3'' behind the triggerguard and a depot Waffenamt that appears to be ''(Eagle) / Nz3'' which would suggest the stock is a field replacement. A number of other major components have been re-stamped to match, perhaps by a depot, including the floorplate, triggerguard, bolt release, rear sight base and both barrel bands. The bolt is numbered ''5457'' and the remaining small parts are a mix of numbers. The rear sight leaf and its slider are from a different model of rifle entirely and there is no head on the cleaning rod. The action otherwise seems to function well mechanically and this rifle may make for a good shooter or entry level example. (13A10091-109) {C&R} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (700/900)

The stagecoach cylinder scene remains mostly visible showing mild overall softening and the other markings are intact and strong, the barrel with two-line Hartford address and the proper dual patent dates on the left side frame. The smooth walnut grip remains in very good plus condition showing mostly worn finish, a very tiny chip at the toe of the right side and a few minor handling marks. The grip appears to be ink-numbered matching to the backstrap; the backstrap and triggerguard are mismatched ''303210'' (likely a factory error), the wedge is ''13707'' and the other parts are matching. The hammer is crisp and the action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. (13A10091-33) {ANTIQUE} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (700/900)

Merwin, Hulbert & Co. Large Frame Single Action Revolver

Lot #298 (Sale Order 298 of 752)

44-40 Win, 4 5/8'' barrel shortened during the period of use with a fair bore showing scattered light pitting and oxidation with worn evident rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver retain about 92% older reapplied nickel finish with most of the loss due to some scattered flaking toning to gray along the cylinder, some smaller scattered flakes and light dings. The edges have softened a bit from the metal preparation though the markings remain mostly intact, the barrel rib showing good patent dates (the address has been lost due to the barrel shortening) and the cartridge markings on the frame remain mostly legible. The serial number at the base of the frame is no longer visible and the lanyard ring is missing. The lower barrel lug shows what appears to be some period repairs or modifications showing a pair of locator pins and there are a few curious vacant drilled and tapped holes, one at the forward bottom edge of the frame and the other at the rear topstrap lug. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in very good condition showing some mild smoothing and a couple small cracks; they are original replacements and are a little proud at the backstrap. The major components are matching by assembly number ''632'' and barrel fit still exhibits the characteristic ''suction''. The bolt does not engage properly when the hammer is down and is worn at full cock, the half cock notch is worn and the action is otherwise functional with good timing.

The small parts are mostly a pewter gray patina, the ejector retaining good straw color and all markings remain intact and strong, the frontstrap showing a unit marking ''B.S. 500''. There seems to be some debate as to what this is referring to, perhaps a Railway Police unit or the Braunschweig Police. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good condition showing a few light dings and handling marks. The left panel is un-numbered and its fit is proud at the front edge, the right panel is numbered ''74'' and fits very well. The sear bar is mismatched and the breech, firing pin and extractor are ''04''. Some of the other smaller parts appear to have been arsenal-renumbered to match.

serial #104, 8mm CF primer blank and 22mm rocket, 9'' barrel (includes 8mm chamber and 22mm rocket tube) with an excellent bore.

The original purple paper-covered box is grease penciled matching the revolver along the base and remains in very fine condition showing some light flaking and scuffs along the corners and hinge point. Both the lid and base show ''COLT REVOLVER'' written in pencil and the dark blue end label rates near excellent. There is a retailer ink mark on the bottom of the box as well though it was off-struck and is difficult to discern with ''Trading Post'' being evident. A vintage boar bristle brush is also present. A lovely Police Positive for the Colt collector. (13A9100-M35) {C&R} [Richard ''Stretch'' Kennedy Collection] (700/900)

Custom Ruger No. 1 Bench Rest Target Rifle

Lot #496 (Sale Order 496 of 752)

serial #130-12004, 32-30 CF, 23'' custom stainless barrel with an interesting random orbital sanding pattern on it which is very attractive, it is however un-marked. The No. 1 action retains perhaps 95% original blue, the loss is due to some fading to plum, wear on the sharp edges and contact points, with some light pitting on the right side of the lever which continues across the bow ahead of the triggerguard. The factory black walnut capped pistolgrip buttstock rates very good with some light dings and handling marks and a bit of oil darkening at the head, it has been modified with a very well-made and neatly attached flat-bottom adapter for bench-rest use. The factory forend as well rates very good and has had a quality-made flat-bottom walnut adapter fitted to it also, no doubt the two modifications providing a very stable platform. The length of pull to the 7/8'' rifle pad is 13 1/2'' (pad fit is a bit ''off'') and as a benchrest competition rifle, the safety thumbpiece and attendant parts have been removed. A competent gunsmith should be consulted to determine the actual chambering of the arm and throat dimensions. A very attractive benchrest rifle that doubtless shoots as good as it looks.

Scarce Barnett Ten-X Rifle Company Under Lever Bolt Action Single Shot Target Rifle

Lot #497 (Sale Order 497 of 752)

serial #321, 22 LR, 29'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. These interesting British-made rifles were very short-lived but purportedly of high quality. This example retains perhaps 95% original blue on the barreled action, showing scattered light scratches and handling marks and some very light spots of scattered surface oxidation. The under lever is a tarnished case-hardened mottled gray patina, the triggerguard showing some fading and light oxidation as well. The rifle is custom stocked in a piece of American black walnut with some fairly coarse checkering and common hardware bolts retaining action to stock, it seems very solid and rugged. The rifle is sighted with a Wittek Vaver globe style front and Wittek Vaver micrometer dial rear receiver sight. The inletting for the bottom lever and the rear action screw are somewhat rudimentary but certainly could be cleaned up by someone with a bit of time and talent, they certainly would not affect the way the rifle shoots. The barrel has been drilled and tapped for steel target blocks which are no longer present. A very scarce single shot British rimfire rifle with a very unique action for both collector and shooter.

The bottom metal has been converted to ''flat style'' without the step normally associated on the military hardware, it retains a similar amount of later blue. The arm has been stocked with a very heavy flat-bottom custom laminated American walnut thumb hole stock. The stock itself rates very good, nearly devoid of finish and with light handling marks and dings here and there and a scant left-side cheekpiece. The rifle's safety has been removed as a benchrest target gun and there is a Schultz & Larson-style double set trigger fitted, and the gun seems to function well mechanically. The barrel and front ring of the receiver are drilled and tapped for steel target blocks which are present. Oddly there is the beginning of a saw cut at the left tip of forend for about 2'', what was being attempted is unknown. An interesting, no doubt early, benchrest conversion with a famous-maker barrel. (310174-39) {MODERN} (500/700)

The grooved walnut grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in very good condition as lightly refinished showing scattered light dings. The floorplate, bolt stop and bolt are mismatched and the bolt stop is somewhat loose and the upper receiver, hammer and fire control group are matching the frame. The action is a little stiff but otherwise seems to function well mechanically. A salty Bolo that likely saw service in China. (13A10012-38) {C&R} (400/600)

The markings have softened from the years and remain mostly intact and legible and the bayonet shows some moderate oxidation at the tip with otherwise strong blue along the socket. The smooth walnut stock remains in very good condition showing an older arsenal refinish with some flaking finish mostly along the left side, scattered light to perhaps moderate small dings and handling marks. There is a arsenal repair at the toe and the stock retains strong markings and is crisply numbered matching the receiver on the right side butt along with a nice Brescia refurbishment cartouche dated 1916. The original matching bayonet is included though its locking stud on the underside of the barrel has broken off and the tip of the firing pin is also broken off but the action otherwise seems to function well mechanically. A very respectable example of an interesting and seldom seen Italian martial arm. (13A10091-244) {ANTIQUE} [Chester Reginald Dunbar Collection] (400/600)

The hammer will push off but the half cock notch is functional and timing and lock-up are otherwise quite good.

The triggerguard shows thinning reapplied blue toning to plum and the top lever retains a healthy amount of original bright blue.

The gun has ''-COLT-'' on the barrel, ''41 CAL.'' on the frame and later added inventory number ''55 / B'' on the backstrap. (8A10023-7) {C&R} (600/800)

Massachusetts Percussion Halfstock Sporting Rifle by Hitchcock & Muzzy

Lot #669 (Sale Order 669 of 752)

.44 cal, 28 1/2" octagon barrel, turned for starter (none present) with an oxidized smooth bore. The metal surfaces are an overall deep plum-brown and gray patina with light oxidation sparsely scattered about the surface of the barrel, some of which has resulted in light pitting, the hammer and lock showing some silvery case-hardened remnants. The right side of barrel is maker-marked just ahead of the nipple bolster ''Hitchcock & Muzzy'' and there is a simple blade front sight with v-notch step elevator rear, the tang with a vacant pedestal for a no longer present staff. Rifle features a pewter forend tip, German silver triggerguard with single forward spur, faceted buttplate, simple toeplate and pendulum patchbox, all of German silver. The American walnut stock rates very good with nice grain figure, sharp edges and much original varnish showing the expected overall light dings, scratches or flakes from use. There is a 2" crack at a left side of forend tip and small chip missing, with another crack ahead of the right stock flat for about 4''. Equipped with double set triggers and a dual acting lock, the arm seems to function properly. There is an older antique dowel present which may have been a field replacement ramrod.

A. H. Fox Sterlingworth Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #670 (Sale Order 670 of 752)

serial #252053, 20 ga., 28'' barrels choked about improved cylinder in each, showing good to perhaps near very good bores which show light pitting their full length, a couple spots which are likely a bit more moderate nearer the forcing cones. The barrels are an overall dull gray fading original blue patina with toning to pewter in the carry point above the forend, with some very sparse light oxidation here and there, and perhaps a light handling mark or two. The frame and forend iron are a tarnished pewter patina with the markings remaining crisp with the remnants of some light oxidation staining on the plate. The smooth flatbottom pistolgrip walnut buttstock rates excellent and is a Herters replacement of good quality giving a 14 1/2'' length of pull to the checkered Herters buttplate, with drops of 1 5/8'' and 3 1/8''. The splinter forend is original equipment and shows some varnish filling in the checkering but the wood is still proud of the metal for the most part, it rating very good with light handling marks. The gun features a non-automatic safety and seems to lock up tight on-face with the top lever still slightly right of center. The screws are not indexed and the bottom plate screw shows some slight damage. A very good candidate for the beginning hunter or foul weather backup gun. (3A10178-15) {C&R} (600/800)

Austrian Bockbuchsflinte Combination Gun by Mahrholdt & Son

Lot #671 (Sale Order 671 of 752)

serial #2227, 5.6x52R (22 Savage Hi-Power) by 16 ga., 23 5/8'' Krupp Laufstahl barrels, the lower choked extra full, both showing bright excellent bores, the lower barrel with a slight bulge just behind the choke area at muzzle. The barrels retain perhaps 80% original fading gray-blue showing even fading and some wear to pewter at the muzzles, showing light scroll engraving along the frame bolster flares. The frame and sideplates retain a similar amount of what appears to be later blue, close inspection of both suggesting that they were originally blue and not actually case-hardened. The sideplates and frame show light borderline engraving of very nice quality with light banknote filigree around the screws. The bolsters of the frame show nice chiseled oakleaf engraving which continues onto the top of the frame. The triggerguard shows the standing chamois trademark of Mahrholdt-Peterlongo. The checkered French walnut buttstock rates very good to perhaps fine, as neatly refinished many years ago, showing some stunning grain figure in the butt and a nice Austrian style left side European cheekpiece. The checkering is a bit filled with finish and the stock flats show dropper points at their rears. There is a crack to the rear of the pistolgrip, the arm experiencing a break completely through at this point, it appears as though an effective repair has been made and the crack will not currently flex. There is a somewhat moderate scar along the right side and the buttstock but it certainly could be made to go away by a wood man who knew his business, he could address the somewhat dusty finish at the same time. The three-piece forend rates very good as well showing an older refinish with some minor dings and handling marks reacquired. The length of pull to the grooved horn buttplate is 14'' and there is a horn pistolgrip cap showing some light insect damage. Features include double triggers (front a single set), pin style cocking indicators, non-automatic safety and extractors. The arm is sighted with a silver bead front sight and manual flip-up v-notch rear with the rib featuring dual claw bases; no rings are present. The arm locks up with dual under bites and Kerstin crossbolts and is tight and on face. The ''set'' feature of the trigger does not always drop the hammer on the rifle barrel, which then also does not always re-cock, it is no doubt gummed up on the inside as it functions sporadically. The barrel is marked ''R Mahrholdt & Sohn,'' this marking repeated in riband on left lockplate with ''Innsbruck-Tirol'' in riband on the right; ''(Eagle) N'' proofed post-Anschluss in November 1940. A handsome combination gun in a seldom seen configuration from this top-quality Austrian maker. (3A9100-1339) {C&R} [Richard ''Stretch'' Kennedy Collection] (600/800)

Unmarked German Zimmerstutzen Target Rifle

Lot #672 (Sale Order 672 of 752)

serial #3315, 4 mm, 27 1/2'' ''barrel'' with a 7 3/4'' rifled section showing a bright, mostly excellent bore, which does show a couple small pits near the breech. The barrel retains perhaps 85% original blue, the loss is due to even fading and toning with light surface oxidation for most of the area ahead of the forend, the pivoting breech which accepts the cartridge is captive on the gun so it cannot be lost. The frame retains perhaps 85% original color case-hardening, the balance toning and muting to a pewter with some scattered oxidation about its surface. The right side shows a vignette of a Schuetzen shooter in his lederhosen, the left with the typical depiction of Schützenliesl atop her keg with beer steins in-hand, these both surrounded by light open Germanic foliate scroll. There is similar scroll engraving on the fingergroove lever, it has toned mostly to a plum and speckled brown patina. The checkered walnut ram's horn buttstock with thumbrest rates very good with the expected dings and handling marks from the years, the right side of butt with a 4'' long chip from being set down hard on the Crescent style butt; the plate a soft brown oxidized patina. The Schnabel style forend rates very good as well showing a few minor dings and handling marks but both with good checkering. Rifle features a winged front sight base with a small simple vertical blade and the large cupped diopter aperture sight is in place on its base at the rear of the action. The rifle is equipped with double set triggers and seems to function properly mechanically. While unmarked, the gun appears to be of quality-make, sadly suffering from a bit of poor storage. (3A10174-3) {C&R} (600/800)

W. & C. Scott Double Hammergun

Lot #673 (Sale Order 673 of 752)

serial #10294, 12 ga., 30'' barrels, both roughly choked modified, with good to very good bores, both showing light pitting their full length, the right tube with some more moderate. The barrels are a fading plum and gray Damascus pattern with scattered light oxidation speckles and some light pinprick pits in the carry area above the forearm. The rib exhibits a nice Damascus pattern as well and is maker marked with a light spray of engraving at its rear. The frame and lockplates are a tarnished pewter case-hardened patina showing tight English scroll in perhaps 30% coverage with circled game bird vignettes at the rear of each lockplate and gun dogs at the center of each beneath the maker name. There are some vestiges of colors hiding beneath the ribbed hammers, the fences neatly sculpted in an old cap-flare pattern, tiny cap deflector curls atop each hammer as well. The triggerplate and guard retain some remnants of blue, primarily flaking to a plum patina, the engraving on the bow somewhat softened. The scant round knob pistolgrip English walnut buttstock rates very good showing an added coat of varnish which has filled the checkering somewhat, the wood no doubt likely cleaned at the time, remnants of some minor dings and handling marks beneath. The splinter forend is near fully checkered and shows a bit more wear, the checkering worn primarily flat-top, also with the same added varnish. The length of pull to the 1 3/8'' Kick-Eez pad is 14 3/4'' (13 1/4'' to the end of the wood) with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2''. The rebounding locks function well mechanically and the gun seems to lockup well, however the barrels are indeed off-face. No wall thicknesses is noted below .029'', most well over .035''. An attractive W. & C. Scott hammergun that is likely worth a bit of restoration effort. (3A10178-10) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

Unmarked European Martini Style Single Shot Target Rifle

Lot #674 (Sale Order 674 of 752)

(NSN) 22 RF, 32'' octagon barrel, rifled for most of its length, with 8 3/4'' of free bore, counter bored to about 1/2'' in diameter, the rifled section bright excellent. The barrel retains perhaps 90% original blue with neat fluting about half of its length, with some tool marks present on the sides and top and bottom ahead of the forend. The frame, breechblock and lever retain perhaps 95-97% nickel plate which appears original, some well-meaning shooter years ago has taken a file and put some rather deep hashmarks on the bow of the guard, front of action and rear of forend, as non-slip friction points, no doubt when supporting the rifle in a hip-rest position with your thumb and forefingers. The smooth European walnut buttstock rates about very good with overall dings and handling marks and wear to the sharp edges of the left-side of Germanic flared cheekpiece. It features a right-side thumbrest with stippling and there are two inlays on the right side of the butt, one brass riband and the other appearing to be nickel plated brass in a floral motif. The forend rates perhaps very good, showing more wear and a 1 1/2'' sliver missing from its front left edge. The winged front sight with tiny lollipop insert is present as-is the v-notch windage and elevation adjustable rear sight. The left and right barrel flats each have two neatly drilled and tapped holes about midway down their length, currently with filler screws installed. The rifle is equipped with double set triggers and seems to function properly mechanically. (3A10174-13) {C&R} (500/700)

“August Francotte”-Marked Boxlock Double Shotgun

Lot #675 (Sale Order 675 of 752)

serial #3521, 12 ga. (2 1/2''), 28'' barrels, both choked about improved cylinder, with bright excellent bores. An interesting and quality-made shotgun but certainly not the work of August Francotte, the barrels show a nice contrasting brown and pewter Damascus star pattern their full length, with some sparsely scattered spots of oxidation staining here and there, the left tube with a couple of very nicely raised dings, one more on the right tube halfway down its length. The left barrel is neatly hand engraved ''August Francotte a Liège'', there are however no other Francotte markings nor stampings on the gun anywhere, this engraving clearly ''later-added''. The boxlock frame remains quite nice and is primarily a silvery mottled case-hardened patina with some toning to pewter on the right radius at the natural carry point. It features tight scroll in perhaps 40% coverage with ''Surette'' inlaid in gold. The checkered European walnut straight grip buttstock rates very good with the expected light dings and handling marks that come from the years, showing a small hole along the toeline where a swivel was once installed, now nicely plugged. The splinter forend is completely devoid of checkering and is likely a good quality replacement from the period of use. The length of pull to the solid red Noshok pad is 14 5/8'' with drops of 1 5/8'' and 2 1/2. The gun is sighted with dual ivory beads and seems to lockup tight on face with no discernible light, the top lever drifting just slightly left of center. The gun seems to function as designed and may make a good ''knockabout'' gun (pardon the pun). (3A10007-6) {ANTIQUE} (500/700)

Hammerli Style Martini Action Swiss Target Rifle by Banziger

Lot #676 (Sale Order 676 of 752)

serial #1657, About 41 cal. CF (other examples have been found with caliber listed as 41 Swiss), 34 1/2'' octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore, smooth for most of its length, rifled for roughly 5 1/2'' at the breech end. The barrel is a plum brown patina and has an overall coating of very light, soft surface oxidation with a simple bead style front sight, no rear is present atop the male dovetail rib. The frame is a pewter gray and a darker gray patina showing light oxidation staining and some scattered light pinprick pitting. It is marked on its right side ''J U Banziger St Gallen''. The European walnut buttstock and forend rate very fine as lightly cleaned many years ago, retaining a few minor dings and handling marks beneath the finish. The buttstock shows some very lovely grain figure and has a flared Germanic-style left side cheekpiece. The Swiss style butt shows some light oxidation and is primarily a pewter patina, the barrel shows some light dings at the breech end above the chamber. Equipped with double set triggers, the arm seems to function properly mechanically and is a very interesting example with its partial smooth-partial rifled bore. References tells us that Banziger was active from roughly 1848 to perhaps 1906. (3A10174-11) {C&R} (500/700)

Parker Grade 2 Double Hammer Shotgun

Lot #677 (Sale Order 677 of 752)

serial #41782, 12 ga. (2 5/8''), 32'' damascus steel barrels choked about improved cylinder and cylinder, with about fair bores which show light and moderate pitting their full length, a spot or two we may characterize as heavy. The barrels are now a tarnished pewter and dull gray patina showing no remnants of their original damascus pattern, the rib markings remaining intact with a small floral engraving at rear. The No. 2 size frame is grade-marked ''2'' and is a dull gray and soft brown patina with some freckles of silvery case-hardening here and there, with sprays of light open scroll and a waterfowl vignette on the belly which has softened somewhat. The locks are a deep blue-gray, also with light sprays of scroll and game birds left and right along with ''Parker Bros''. The checkered capped pistolgrip English walnut buttstock rates about very good as lightly cleaned many years ago, the checkering now worn nearly smooth, with remnants of light dings and handling marks. The length of pull to the Parker dog's head buttplate is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 3/4'' and 3''. The splinter forend is worn nearly smooth with the metal being proud overall showing light dings and handling marks. The arm appears on the face for the most part, the left tube showing some vestiges of tiny slivers of light, but the hammers are in time and the rebounding locks function properly, the top lever is drifting left of center. The included factory letter shows shipment to EC Meacham Arms in September of 1884, verifies the length of pull, gauge and barrel length, capped pistolgrip and G-quality. A somewhat tired old Grade 2 which may still have some life left after a competent inspection by a good barrel man. (3A10052-9) {ANTIQUE} (500/700)

Winchester Model 1890 Slide Action Rifle

Lot #678 (Sale Order 678 of 752)

serial #599768, 22 Long, 24'' octagon barrel with a good bore showing some worn rifling and scattered pitting its full length. The barrel is a mix of dark gray-blue faded original blue and drifting to a soft plum patina but with good edges and good markings. The triggerguard and receiver have now toned to a warm plum brown and are mostly smooth, with some light oxidation staining here and there and perhaps a scattered pit or two; the buttplate is similar. The smooth straight grip walnut buttstock rates very good with much original varnish and the expected overall light dings and handling marks from the years, the grooved forend showing a bit more wear with only trace varnish. What is likely the original patent date Lyman front sight is in place as is the 1901 style rear sight and the action seems to function well mechanically. Still an attractive third model 1890 that is certainly worth having the barrel relined. (3A10038-5) {C&R} (500/700)

The metal surfaces of this attractive 1894-made revolver retain about 90% original bright blue with most of the loss due to flaking and toning to pleasant gray-brown patina along the gripstraps and bow of the guard and some scattered more mild fine flakes and handling marks. The sides of the hammer remain bright while its back surface, the trigger and screw heads all show strong brilliant fire blue. All markings remain crisp and clear.

The metal surfaces of this attractive fifth model revolver retain about 98% excellent factory-quality restored blue with most of the loss due to some scattered small areas of minor oxidation speckling along the barrel and gripstraps and perhaps a few small handling marks. Some of the screw heads show light slot wear and the trigger shows vibrant case-hardened colors.

The lockplate shows clear maker markings in script ''W Waniek / in Melnik''. The smooth walnut stock remains in very good plus to very fine condition perhaps showing some antique added oil finish along with a few slivers missing along the ramrod channel, a few thin drying cracks and scattered light dings.

The brass has taken on a nice mild ocher patina and is embellished with some attractive floral and pineapple motifs and there is a silver monogram plate atop the wrist engraved ''WV''. The nipple is a more modern replacement and a simple hardwood ramrod is present. The fowler is sighted with a brass post front sight and the lock seems to function well mechanically.

The frame is lightly decorated with some geometric line engraving around the borders, touches of loose foliate scroll engraving, ''PARKER BROS'' on both sideplates, and the rib is lightly marked ''PARKER BROS MAKERS MERIDEN CONN; DAMASCUS STEEL''; spots of the engraving have softened and faded away. The barrels, forend, extractor, and forend wedge are numbered to the shotgun. Both barrels are off-face and showing light between the breech and standing breech, but the rebounding hammers are in-time and the shotgun appears to function well mechanically. Included with the shotgun is a letter from the Parker Gun Collectors Association, noting that Parker shotgun 8244 was ordered on February 15, 1877, was an $110 dollar grade underlifter action in 10 ga, and had damascus barrels. The length of pull and the barrel length listed in the letter, 14 1/4'' and 30'', is longer than that measured on the shotgun, but the letter additionally notes that factory return and repair records do not exist and that such work was common place. Altogether a nice example of these early Parker Brothers shotguns. (14A10052-10) {ANTIQUE} (500/700)
