In Darkest Africa by H.M. Stanley 1st Ed. w/ Maps Lot #66 (Sale Order 66 of 745) Offered for sale is a first edition, two volume set of “In Darkest Africa” by H.M. Stanley. Perhaps no adventurer is more closely connected with Africa than Lord Stanley, whose various expeditions did more to reveal the nature of that continent than any modern explorer. His 1887 mission to relieve the besieged governor of Egypt, his last mission to Africa, ended miserably when Stanley arrived only to learn that the governor did not care to be relieved, but instead was angry at the Englishman for interfering in his affairs. This account contains the harrowing details of Stanley’s journey through the nearly impenetrable Ituri, or Great Congo, Forest, which he traversed not once but three times over the course of his travels. The conditions were brutal; sometimes the expedition could achieve no more than three or four hundred yards an hour. Along the way, Stanley compiled important data on the Pygmies and discovered the Ruwenzori, or “Mountains of the Moon.” The perilous journey nearly cost Stanley his life and only a third of the men with whom he set out returned alive. The books are in good condition. The original maps are included. The books measure 6.5" x 9".

He is often seen as the most powerful of all spirits and can also transform into human form by opening his head up like a mask and taking his feathers off as if they were a mere blanket.

The lot features a hand blacksmith forged head with Revolutionary war pattern spontoon kite-shaped blade with no basal process curls.

The head shows a long tapering pipe bowl with filed molded ridges flowing into the tear drop eyelet hole with “V” shaped chevron and step moldings.

Slight median ridge running down the blade” (MAI/HF: 22/7292). Provenance: From the ex-collection of Tom Hardy of Indianapolis, Indiana and Ohio.

RARE Smith & Wesson DA .38-40 Frontier Revolver Lot #99 (Sale Order 99 of 745) SMITH & WESSON RARITY: .38-40 DOUBLE ACTION FRONTIER REVOLVER WITH 6 1/2" BARREL, SERIAL NUMBER 32, ONLY 276 MADE AND NUMBERED IN THEIR OWN SERIES WITH SERIAL NUMBERS FROM 1-276, MADE FROM 1900-1910! (Note: Although cataloged into the twentiety century, all frames were manufactured prior to 1899, making this gun an antique). Of the very few of these we've heard of coming to market over the years, all have been in hard used condition. This makes sense as anyone wanting a .38-40 revolver was probably spending a lot of time in the outdoors (ranching most likely) and pairing it with a Winchester or Marlin saddle rifle. This special model was offered in barrel lengths of 4", 5" and 6 1/2" lengths. This 6 1/2" long barrel example is a factory nickel plated revolver that still retains the original nickel in the more protected areas around the hammer and trigger guard with some nickel on the cylinder, etc. The balance has flaked and worn off revealing a most attractive dark uncleaned patina. The barrel markings on the top of the barrel are good, but a bit worn and the correct and original .38 Winchester Ctg. marking on the left side of the barrel is similarly worn and only partially visible. The serial numbers on the barrel, frame and cylinder match. Mechanics are fine and the bore shows good rifling with only minor scattered surface roughness. The grips fit perfectly and show normal wear, but no chipping or cracks. Obviously this big revolver was a working holster gun and carried many miles. The .38-40 was a popular caliber in the Southwest and Mexico at the time of the Mexican Revolution and there is a good probability this revolver found its way to the southwestern U.S. or Mexico. Lots of history in this extremely rare S&W! When you consider that these revolvers were made in three barrel lengths and two finishes (nickel and blue), the number of 6 1/2" nickel examples would be very small. This is unquestionably the rarest Smith and Wesson revolver we have ever offered, and is frequently considered too rare to put a general value on as few have survived to the present time, and rarely are they offereed for sale. This is a very respectable example of a specific S&W revolver model that even the most advanced Smith & Wesson collections are lacking. This is perhaps a once in a lifetime chance to purchase such a scarce and important frontier era big bore S&W. Even the most referred to S&W books with price guides cannot list a value for this model. Serial Number: 32. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester Early Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle Lot #100 (Sale Order 100 of 745) Spectacular special order early Winchester Model 1873 rifle, serial number 135061, made 1883. The standard Winchester Model 1873 had a 24” round barrel, full magazine, plain trigger and full blue finish on the receiver and barrel/magazine. However, on special order, for an additional cost which most purchasers were unwilling to pay, Winchester would make a rifle with special features according to the customer’s request. This is such a rifle. It was ordered in .32 WCF caliber (.32 Winchester Center Fire; also known as the .32-20 Winchester) with special half-octagon/half-round barrel, half or “button” magazine, case hardened and case colored receiver and fitted with a single set trigger. Any one of these special features by itself would be considered rare and desirable, but combined make this an extraordinarily unusual and attractive rifle. According to the standard reference The Winchester Handbook, by George Madis, of the approximately 720,000+ Model 1873s made, only 801 were manufactured with half-octagon/half-round barrels; 2669 combined rifles and carbines were fitted with half or button magazines; and a limited number were fitted with set triggers. Case colored receivers were so infrequently ordered or provided on rifles that the number of case colored receivers isn’t even given. Further, this rifle is fitted with fancier than standard walnut! On the few 1873 Models known to be ordered with case colored receivers, few retain any colors today. Case colors wore off quickly and even exposure to direct sunlight faded the colors to gray and brown. To find a case colored receiver on a Model 1873 is exceptionally rare, much less one that still retains color! This superb example retains liberal case colors on the sides and top of the receiver, with more vivid colors in the fore and aft portions of the receiver sides with some fading toward the center. Vivid case colors also are visible around the hammer portion of the receiver top. The factory niter blued loading gate also retains lovely original blue and the dust cover on the receiver top is intact- these often missing. The barrel shows a strong deep blue finish, has sharp Winchester address markings and is fitted with a buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and standard correct factory blade front sight. The stock and forearm are in especially excellent condition and retain most of the heavy “piano finish” as used by Winchester on special ordered fancy rifles. The screw heads are also unusually fine on this rifle. The set trigger functions by pushing forward on the back of the trigger until it sets or “clicks” at which point only slight pressure on the trigger is required to release the hammer. The set trigger came with a tiny adjustment screw for adjusting the trigger pull weight. Usually guns of this age are missing this screw and often the set mechanism is no longer functioning. This trigger retains the adjustment screw and the set trigger functions now as well as it did when it left the Winchester factory in 1883! The brass lifter on the bottom of the receiver is factory engraved “32 CAL” and having never been cleaned or polished, displays the desirable “mustard” or “mellow” brass patina that is so important to collectors. Unique to the Model 1873 in .32-20 caliber is that the butt plate was not cut or fitted for a trap for a cleaning rod- this was only standard on .38-40 and .44-40 caliber rifles and carbines. It is a good way to determine if the butt plate is original to the .32-20 caliber and not a replacement from the more common larger calibers. This one has the correct butt plate and the stock and forend display very tight wood to metal fit. This indicates that the wood has not been sanded or refinished. The action is tight and retains the correct lever catch. The bore is typically dark and shows wear which is common among rifles designed and used with corrosive black powder ammunition. Overall, the rarity factor and condition of this Winchester put it in an exclusive category of its own. In all, a fabulous 138 year old Winchester Special Order Rifle... known worldwide as “The Gun That Won the West!” Serial Number: 135061. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

This book is a gem of Montana history and has 124 photographs from the famous L. A. Huffman, showing original photos, some from horseback. As an early rancher, Huffman had been a part of the life he later recorded with his camera. His studies were not stilted photographs posed for a visiting photographer, but of candid shots of working people who considered him one of themselves. Sometimes Huffman rode with a roundup or followed a herd of sheep for days before he caught the picture he wanted. This was a golden opportunity to record the early life on the Plains, and he exploited it to the fullest. Huffman caught and preserved the spirit of life on the unfenced Montana ranges in the days before barbed wire.

Cheyenne Split Horn Beaded War Bonnet c. 1875 Lot #133 (Sale Order 133 of 745) The lot features an outstanding split horn war bonnet with beadwork attributed to the Cheyenne Native American Indians in Wyoming and dating to circa 1875. The piece is from the ex-collection of Cyrus Eaton of London, England and was originally purchased by him at a Christie’s American Indian Art sale in the 1970-‘s for $8,000 where it was found to be from the Cheyenne Indians of Wyoming dating to circa 1875, the original Christie’s Auction tag is pinned on and still included as shown. George Catlin (1796-1872) an American painter, author, traveler and one of the first known American Indian scholars referred to Split-horn Bonnets as being “worn only by the bravest of the brave; by the most extraordinary men in the nation." The piece shows a Great American Bison Buffalo horn which was split end to end, then a third of the horn was shaved thin and given an angular pattern with median ridge and attached to the cap. The horns would fall back or forward as the wearer moved his head, “giving a vast deal of expression and force of character, to the appearance of the Chief who is wearing them” (Catlin). Horsehair with a rich red dye along with beadwork and old hawk trade bells were attached to the horn tips with Indian tanned hide gaskets having small fringes to intensify the effect. The headdress was further adorned along the entire Indian brain tanned Buffalo hide cap and down the back with hundreds of small Ermine white hides, old wound glass padre trade beads, strips of trade clothe and trade ribbons along with old hawk bells which could be heard clinking on the horseback. The front shows a beaded brow band on the front in traditional geometric Cheyenne patterns all being period correct glass trade seed cen beads in colors of sky padre blue, greasy butterscotch yellow, cobalt and semi-transparent rose. According to Catlin, such headdresses were worn only for the visits of other Chiefs, at celebrations of a war victory, public festivals or on war parties where they served as a “symbol of power.” An original Indian tanned hide strap along the chin is still intact along with various long thin Indian tanned hide fringes. The two carved, split and polished Buffalo horns are held together at the top with a single strand of larger wound glass pony trade beads of the period in colors of greasy blue and chalk white. The back shows a trailing drop of a dark blue early old period trade blanket with hand dyed yellow, red, and blue stripes and is further decorated with drops including Indian tanned hide fringes and approximately eight more old hawk trade bells. This is truly a showy and artistic piece being very well preserved and striking with fantastic provenance. Provenance: Purchased by Cyrus Eaton of London, England from Christie’s New York American Indian Art auction in the approximate 1970’s for $8,000 where they found it to be an authentic 1875 Cheyenne example from Wyoming with original Christie’s tag. The blue trade clothe trailer hangs 26 inches from the cap. Similar to the example also from the Cyrus Eaton collection sold by North American Auction Co. in our February 2021 sale for $11,685 (shown with buyers premium).

Rare Captain Benteen Civil War Tintype Photograph Lot #295 (Sale Order 292 of 745) For your consideration in this lot is a very rare tintype photograph of a young Captain Frederick William Benteen, 1834-1898. Benteen was a military officer who first fought during the American Civil War. He was then sent to the west during the Indian Campaigns and Great Sioux War against the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne. Benteen is best known for being in command of a battalion (Companies D, H, & K) of the 7th U. S. Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in late June, 1876. Captain Benteen received a note from his superior officer, George Armstrong Custer, ordering him to quickly bring up the ammunition packs and join him in Custer's surprise attack on a large Native American encampment. Benteen's failure to promptly comply with Custer's orders is one of the most controversial aspects of the famed battle, and some believe led to the loss of the battle. Most photographs of Benteen show him as an older white haired man; this photo shows him in his Union Army uniform. This photograph is believed to be a tintype set in a keepsake box of celluloid. A bottom piece of the keepsake box is missing. The box has two hinges on the back and opens and closes like a book. It has high relief decorations on the outside showing a man, flag, and canon. The box and photograph are said to have come from the King Ranch Estate Collection. This item measures 2" X 1 7/8” x 5/8" and is in very good condition, except for the one area of damage noted.
