THOMPSON 100 ROUND "C" DRUM MAGAZINE.

Lot #1026 (Sale Order 1 of 323)

Truly exceptional matching serial number 846 Thompson “C” drum in correct original dull matte finish. Drum is marked “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP, NEW YORK N.Y., U.S.A. PATENTED JULY 27 1920 DEC 7 1920 “NO 846” on main body with matching numbered cover. Nickel rotor inside. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish of drum is near excellent dull blue finish with nickel rotor and interior of drum showing faint little round rings of patina indicating this drum was loaded and functioned. There is a barely discernable slight dimple at the 4 o'clock position at the back of the drum. A top restoration specialist could likely make this completely disappear. Just about as nice one of these rare C-type drums as one could hope to find. Their survivability was poor since they were sold only with the very first orders. Matching numbered original C drums are very rare. A wonderful find for the advanced Thompson machine gun collector. JWK 2021-11-71

CORRECTION: Great news! Morphy Auctions has had the slight dimple professionally removed. Please see detailed photos. This drum looks just fantastic!

(A) HIGHLY UNUSUAL AMERICAN ROTATING CHAMBER BREECHLOADING UNDERHAMMER PERCUSSION RIFLE PATTERN AFTE

Lot #1106 (Sale Order 5 of 323)

While aesthetically resembling one of the revolving turret rifles, this rifle is only a single shot. When the fore trigger is pulled back, it allows the barrel assembly and encapsulating ring to spin around the pressure fit central cylinder and turn to the side, exposing the chamber and allowing for a charge to be loaded in. A cap can then be put on the nipple and the barrel assembly rotated back and the rear trigger pulled, dropping the underhammer and detonating the charge. Sights are a simple blade front sight with a V-notch rear sight on an octagonal section of an otherwise round barrel. Barrel appears to be screwed in with a visible line approximately 1" from the outer cylinder. All furniture is iron and somewhat crudely manufactured and the stock bears a resemblance to Kentucky stocks, supporting the speculation that this is an American blacksmith build. CONDITION: Very good. Metal is essentially a smooth chocolate patina throughout, with some spots of pitting primarily near the nipple and chamber areas. Acton works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is very good with a minimum of oxidation. Stock has numerous bumps and bruises and several cracks at extremities. Stock has some period repairs including copper plates at front and German silver pieces. This is a really interesting example of blacksmith ingenuity.

Unfortunately for Massachusetts Arms Company, Colt saw this as an infringement on their patented revolver system and sued them. They were forced to essentially redesign this revolver, and came up with a push-button system to manually unlock the cylinder for turning of the cylinder and moved to a single nipple near the gas shield and attached a Maynard Tape Priming system for quick reloading. About 2,500 tape primed pocket revolvers were produced from 1851 to 1860. 5" round barrel chambered in .31 caliber rifled with "pinched" screw-in front sight and top strap rear sight. Cylinder is acid etched with Naval motif featuring crossed cannon and anchor, floral scroll, and bands running the circumference of the cylinder. Top and both sides of receiver are engraved with large floral scroll pattern. Tape primer gate is marked with typically seen US Armory Eagle in shield with "MAYNARD'S PATENT"/ "SEP. 22. 1845" above and below the eagle. Color case hardened top strap, cylinder arbor, frame, hammer, and front strap. 2-piece plain walnut grips with silver-plated backstrap and trigger guard. Complete with rarely encountered fitted hardwood case with blue velvet interior and reproduction Hitchock & Co. 116, Broadway, New York label. Accoutrements inside the case include: factory Massachusetts Arms Company flask, bullet mold, ball starter, "L" shaped nipple wrench/screwdriver, and a Massachusetts Arms Company marked tin cylinder full of tape primer rolls. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with a vast majority of the original bluing remaining on barrel with evidence of light cleaning. Cylinder is near mint with sharp, easily legible, complete, etching, possibly unfired. Color case hardened assemblies retain bright original case colors with a few, scattered, minor handling marks. Backstrap and trigger guard retain nearly all of their original silver plating. Grips are extremely fine and strong showing no major signs of distress. Bore is bright and shiny with sharp rifling. Case is excellent with handling marks throughout and reproduction label. An exceptional, high condition, example of a relatively rare Civil War era gun with scarcely seen fitted case and all of the accessories.

(A) PAIR OF COLT 1851 NAVY REVOLVERS BUILT FOR CLOSE FRIEND OF SAMUEL COLT, HUGH HARBISON WITH R.L.

Lot #1126 (Sale Order 25 of 323)

Hugh Harbison was born in Ireland on October 26th, 1833, and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1849. He began working for Colt in 1856, and in 1859, Harbison is listed in a Hartford city directory as a bookkeeper at Colt. Additionally, from 1859-1861, he is listed as Secretary and Treasurer of the Union Ferry Company (a firm in which Samuel Colt and E.K. Root were directors). Root is known as Samuel Colt's most valued associate and was Colt's successor as president of the Colt company from 1862-1865. The 1862-1889 Hartford city directories list Harbison as Treasurer of Colt and he continued as Secretary/Treasurer of the Union Ferry Company through 1878. From 1867-1891, Harbison was listed as Secretary of Colt. Harbison was not only all of these positions for the Colt company, as well as a key part of the company's success during the Civil War and Reconstruction Period, but was a close friend of Samuel Colt himself. After Samuel Colt's death, he was the manager of Mrs. Colt's real and personal estate but resigned that position when he retired from the Colt Company. Harbison died in 1903, and, during his time at Colt, he had two 1851 Navy revolvers built for him, and they are offered for sale in this lot. According to the Wilson letter, these revolvers were originally made with a rare factory rosewood double case, which is no longer present.

(A) IMPORTANT CASED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH HISTORICAL PRESENTATION "COMPLIMEN

Lot #1127 (Sale Order 26 of 323)

Serial number 4740, manufactured in 1861. Matching serial numbers on all major components including the wedge. 8" barrel with German silver front sight, marked in one line "-ADDRESS COL. SAM'L COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-". .44 caliber rebated cylinder marked "COLT'S PATENT NO. 4740", number "40" is double struck. Blue with case hardened frame, hammer, and loading lever. One piece varnished walnut grips. Frame cut for shoulder stock. Silver plated trigger guard. Iron backstrap with hand engraved inscription "HON E.O. PERRIN WITH COMPLIMENTS OF COL COLT" According to a letter written by R.L. Wilson dated May 18, 1971, Mr. Wilson believed the inscription to be the work of Gustave Young. All screws are original. Typically the frame screws used to mount a shoulder stock have a long stud like head, the screws on this revolver have rounded heads. Considering this revolver was factory cased without a shoulder stock these screws are correct and original to the revolver. Housed in a walnut partition fitted case with burgundy interior complete with correct powder flask marked "Colts Patent", blue two cavity bullet mold marked "Colt's Patent" on the sprue cutter and letter "K" on right side, blue combination nipple wrench/screwdriver, original Hazard Powder Co. packet of cartridges, Eley Bros. percussion cap tin, and a spare hammer spring. A number of known Colt Model 1860 Armies were presented to various high ranking Union Army officers and officials with similar inscriptions "With COMPLIMENTS OF COL.COLT" during mid-late June 1861. According to the book "The Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver" by Charles W. Pate, book one of the Colt shipping ledgers from that time, listed on page 146 a box containing 35 Model 1860 Army revolvers and six of those guns are known presentations from Col. Colt, including serial numbers 1856 & 4257 to Col. James Cameron, serial numbers 1929 & 2119 to Major General N.P. Banks, serial number 4782 to Honorable F.P. Stanton, and serial number 4740 to Honorable E. Perrin. Photographed on page 368 of Pate's book is the backstrap showing the inscription to F.P. Stanton's gun serial number 4782, the inscription is nearly identical to the inscription on Perrin's gun serial number 4740. Edwin Oscar (E.O.) Perrin was born Dec. 3, 1822 in Springfield, Ohio and educated at Springfield Academy. He later studied law and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1842. He moved from Ohio to Memphis, TN practicing law there and was the Navy agent under Pres. Taylor. In 1857 he traveled to Kansas and took an active part in the canvas against the Lecompton Constitution. He was an assistant to Presidential Candidate Stephen A. Douglass from the State of Maine and apparently very active in the Democratic Party. In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Perrin was dispatched by Secretary of War Cameron to New Mexico where he served under the command of Colonel Kit Carson, arranging supplies for the Union Army that was resisting the incursion of the Confederacy led by General Henry Sibley. Colonel Carson wrote favorably of Mr. Perrin’s brave & honorable service. He was subsequently nominated by President Johnson to become the Chief Justice of the Utah Territory Supreme Court but the Senate rejected his nomination, apparently on political grounds, not for lack of qualifications. He was also rejected by the Senate when he was nominated to be the Internal Revenue Assessor of the First District of New York. Mr. Perrin was the Secretary of five Democratic National Conventions and in 1868 was elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals in New York and was reappointed to the same position by the court in 1870. At this time there is little known of Mr. Perrin’s activities after 1870 until his death in Dec. 1888. Accompanying revolver and case is a binder of much documentation supporting authenticity and information regarding E.O. Perrin. CONDITION: The revolver is excellent retaining approximately 75% original blue mixing with blue/brown patina. Frame shows 30-40% original bright case colors blending with patina. Loading lever shows strong original case colors mainly in protected areas turning to patina. Hammer has 40%+ bright case color with light pitting on the face. Cylinder is mostly brown patina with traces of original blue, showing a strong roll die cylinder scene and patent markings. Click here to see the full description.

PERSONAL SILVER POCKET WATCH OF CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS, WHO TRADED IT IN LENNOXVILLE

Lot #1140 (Sale Order 37 of 323)

At the end of the American Civil War, there was perhaps no more disdained man in the Northern States than Confederate President Jefferson Davis. He was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe for 2 years and was slated to be tried for treason, which carried a penalty of hanging. At the last moment, and with concerns over the repercussions of martyring Davis, the United States Government accepted a $100,000 bond, paid for by several notable anti-slavery advocates including Horace Greely, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Gerrit Smith. With concerns over his safety if he stayed in the United States, Davis fled to Canada with the stipulation that he return at a later date for a final disposition. When he headed to Canada, he found the city of Quebec to be too busy, and he left for Lennoxville instead. While in Lennoxville, Davis was faced with a difficult situation; with all of his assets seized, Davis was functionally broke, but still needed to secure a way that would allow him to take care of his family and start a new life. Critically, he needed a new pair of boots, and there was only one shoemaker listed in Lennoxville, Robert Balfour. In order to secure the new pair of boots, Jefferson bartered his silver pocket watch to Robert Balfour in payment. When it was bartered to the family, the family kept it in their possession for over 100 years before the bloodline died out with Helen Parks Wood, at which time it passed to her husband, Raymond Wood. Upon Raymond's death, he passed the watch to his neighbors, Thomas and Doris Courchene, who had cared for him in the last 14 years of his life and managed his home. In 2002, the watch was loaned to the Historic Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum in Biloxi, Mississippi before it was sold at auction in 2004 and kept in private possession. Between 2006 and 2010, the Watch was also displayed at the First White House of the Confederacy in Alabama, and has since remained in private possession. The watch itself is a hunting case pocket watch with stamped and chased engraving in scroll patterns and highlighted with multi-colored enamel work. The dial is marked "DENT LONDON". Dent was a respected watchmaker and known as the maker of the Great Clock of Westminster (Big Ben). Dent, as other prominent firms, engaged in the practice of buying rough finished watch movements and either finishing themselves or subcontracting the work, and then putting their own name on the watch as a budget alternative to a "true" Dent. The case is marked for distribution by T.R. Losada, an international importer and dealer primarily focusing on South American and Spain. The movement is Continental and probably made by V.A. Pierret of Paris, finished by a subcontractor for Dent, sold by Dent to Losada, who cased it for sale. The key wind and key set and other features indicate manufacture between 1850 and 1865, which puts it in the appropriate time frame for Davis to have possession of the watch before leaving for Canada. The watch is housed in a case made of wood with carved floral designs and French fitted to fit the watch and opened at the top for the stem. The case is then housed in a modern watch case to protect the watch and contains the winding keys. A small "WB / 84" is incised on the inside of the case. PROVENANCE: This watch is accompanied by a binder of extensive provenance, which is covered here in order presented. A letter from Patrick Hotard, Curator of the Beauvoir, The Jefferson Davis Home & Presidential Library, dated 2000 returning the material that the Courchenes had provided for the Library and asking for them to put the watch on loan at the Beauvoir and a second letter dated 2003 thanking the Courchenes for loaning the watch to the museum, where it was displayed in the rotunda of the Confederate Soldiers Museum, with photos of the display, and signed by Alice West Bellanger, archivist.

The Sharps Model 1850 was the company's third model gun, to include the first two variations of the original limited run of Sharps Model 1849 rifles built by Albert S. Nippes. Manufactured from 1850-1856 with approximately 140 Model 1850s built. During the early days of Sharps development, Christian Sharps, not having a manufacturing facility of his own established partnerships to build his newly patented breechloading rifles. As with the Model 1849, Albert S. Nippes of Mill Creek, Pennsylvania was the first to build the Model 1850 beginning sometime after November 1849. Nipples built approximately 48 rifles under the company name A.S. Nippes & Company. Nippes marketed and sold the guns through an agent named Nipples & Butterfield in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. George Penfield purchased the patent and manufacturing rights from Nipples on June 4, 1851, moving the operation to Hartford Connecticut, and forming the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company. Under the supervision of Christian Sharps, approximately 67 additional Model 1850 rifles were built from 1851-1852. William H. Robertson purchased the Model 1850 inventory from Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company in May 1852. Robertson along with his nephew, George W. Simpson improved upon the Model 1850 design with new style sights and an improved breechblock. They invented and patented a new and better gas sealing breechblock on February 12, 1856.

(A) TYPE 1 TRANSFORMED REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK RIFLE APPEARING TO BE CONVERTED FROM A CONFEDERATE GI

Lot #1160 (Sale Order 57 of 323)

Type 1 Transformed Remington Rolling Block rifle. In the late 1860s and early 1870s, Springfield, Remington, and others were making rolling block rifles using Remington actions and fitting them to surplus muskets for sale to South America and US Militias. Known rifled muskets that were used were Springfield 1861s, 1863s, Remington 1862 "Zouaves", and M1841 "Mississippi Rifles". After thorough research and due to the configuration, this Remington Transformed Rifle does not appear to be constructed from any of the above-mentioned rifle muskets, but instead appears to be assembled from parts of a Gillam and Miller Confederate rifle musket. The 32" round barrel is chambered in .52 caliber rimfire with added M1855 style rear sight and underbarrel bayonet lug for a socket type bayonet. Barrel was shortened, sleeved to .52 caliber with 3-groove rifling, blued, and breechblock was converted from centerfire to rimfire. Front sight is missing but appears to have been a brass blade which is consistent with the configurations of Gillam and Miller Confederate rifled muskets. Forearm is consistent in form to the Gillam and Miller rifled musket, with rounded brass nosecap secured by 2 brass rivets and is in 2-barrel band configuration with barrel bands made of brass. Ramrod channel is still present and was not filled in at time of conversion. Front barrel band has front sling swivel and both barrel bands are retained with clamping screws. Inside of forearm is crudely marked with assembly number "206" which matches the underside of the barrel and on the iron butt plate. Underside of barrel is also stamped with "188" assembly number.

(A) RARE BROWNING BROTHERS MARKED WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

Lot #1182 (Sale Order 79 of 323)

As stated in several publications on Winchester, T.G. Bennett obtained a crude wooden model of a lever action when bringing the design for the Highwall back to Winchester, this wooden model would later become the Model 1886. As part of the payment for the design Browning was to receive finished rifles. These rifles are marked with "Browning Brothers Ogden, UT." or sometimes just a "U" after Utah became a state in 1896. With this rifle is an original Buffalo Bill Historical Center letter dated May 29, 1979 confirming this information that guns were used as payment, and a second letter confirming the characteristics of this rifle also comes with this rare gun. It is unknown how many rifles were to be paid to Browning and what serial numbers were payment guns and what were merely Browning sold firearms. Browning also designed the "50 Express" and it was first chambered in 1887. The gun is a Winchester Model 1886 rifle built by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1892. Gun has full blued octagon barrel with blade front and 2-leaf express sight especially designed for this cartridge. Barrel is marked with Winchester 2-line Address and has stamped between rear sight and address "BROWNING BROS OGDEN U." with caliber marking of "50EX" on top barrel flat at rear. Gun has case hardened frame with full blued tubular magazine and factory single set trigger with tang marked "Model 1886". Blued bolt and loading gate. Madis states 1 in 31 rifles had a set trigger and Arthur Pirkle states that approximately around 5,000 of the total production of around 115,000 rifles were chambered in this caliber. Gun has walnut plain stock with crescent buttplate what appear to be factory-type sling swivels. Walnut plain forend with blued nosecap and factory-style sling swivel. A rare rifle with even more rare historical significance. CONDITION: 80% fading barrel blue with some surface pitting across top of barrel. 80% original fading case colors with some light surface corrosion. Bolt and loading gate retains 80% fading original blue. Wood has 80% original finish with a light coat of linseed oil and some light usage scratches and dings. Forearm has small hairline crack on left side of forearm. Perfect bore and mechanics.

Deluxe, full-figured, checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forearm. Shotgun style butt with factory mounted "Silvers" red rubber recoil pad. According to the Cody Firearms Museum Records Office, serial number 127344 was originally shipped from the factory on January 23, 1903 with the inscription "Dr. J.G. Knowlton" engraved on the left side of the frame. Records further document return to the factory for "R&R" on November 6, 1904 on work order #26777 and again on June 30, 1905 on work order #1042. Unfortunately, detailed records of the work performed are not available. Considering the inscription no longer appears on left side of frame, it is our opinion one of the factory work orders were to remove the inscription and refinish the frame. To further support this belief, the right inside of the top tang is factory marked: "Refinished" indicating some level of factory refinishing. The inside bottom tang is marked: "XX" documenting "Deluxe" wood along with assembly number "17." Assembly number "17" is also found on inside of top tang channel of the stock. The frame-mounted Model 21 elevator sight is not mentioned in the original shipping record, however is 100% original Winchester factory work and was probably installed in accordance with one of the two work orders.

Lot #1190 (Sale Order 87 of 323)

Circa 1888. Considered to be rare in the collector market, Bullard were only produced from the mid 1880's to approximately 1890. The company fought for sales against the likes of Winchester, Marlin, and also the Whitney lever action rifles which were being built in this period. The heavy volume of competition really hampered their sales and with that, thus creating a very limited production run of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 pieces. This particular rifle is an excellent example of how good the Bullard rifles were. This special ordered extremely smooth operating rack and pinion large framed 28" octagon to round blued barrel is fit with a tangent rear sight marked "1873" with graduated lines marked "2" to "10" and a half nickel dovetail front sight.

Rifle features a full magazine and is equipped with a rifle-style ladder rear sight and a bladed front sight. Incredibly smooth operating lever, trigger and hammer are case hardened.

(A) NOTED COLLECTOR MEL GUY'S LEGENDARY COLT "BUNTLINE SPECIAL" SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER

Lot #1263 (Sale Order 160 of 323)

"The now famous moniker for a long-barreled Colt, ""Buntline Special"", was first introduced and made legend by a 1931 Western Novel written by Stuart Lake titled ""Wyatt Earp / Frontier Marshall"". In the book, Lake makes claim Edward Zane Carroll Judson, author of dime novels and better known by his pen name, ""Ned Buntline"", special ordered five Colt Single Action Army revolvers with extra-long barrels and detachable stocks from the Colt factory in 1876. According to Lake, Judson or ""Buntline"" gave these five special Colts to Dodge City, Kansas lawmen, including Wyatt Earp as gifts of his appreciation. Unfortunately, this claim has never been factually proven, or disproven for that matter. Nonetheless, the story made for a best-selling read on the life of Wyatt Earp. During the 1950 era when T.V. Westerns became the number one source of entertainment in America, both Hollywood and Colt Firearms capitalized on the Ned Buntline story. One of the most popular shows of the period was ""The Life and Times of Wyatt Earp"" starring actor Hugh O'Brian playing the role of Wyatt Earp. The actual star of the show became Wyatt Earp's Colt Revolver known as the ""Buntline Special"". This show launched many other T.V. shows and Hollywood movies immortalizing Wyatt Earp and his long-barreled Colt. It wasn't until this time that Colt actually used the term ""Buntline"" to describe any of their revolvers and began manufacturing special limited numbers of large bore Single Action Armies with 12-inch barrels, naming them ""Buntline Specials."" These models became in such demand that several toy companies manufactured replica “Buntline” cap guns, and Colt began producing smaller frame revolvers chambered in .22 caliber with “Buntline Scout” marked on their 9-1/2 inch barrels. Though Colt didn't begin this marketing campaign until the 1950s, what advanced students and collectors have known all along is Colt did indeed build a very limited number of Single Action Army revolvers, with special frames, sights, extra length barrels and accessory detachable stocks beginning in 1876. Colt originally introduced these special guns at the Historically important American 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, calling them ""Buggy Specials"". The limited production of these unique revolvers became one of the rarest models Colt ever produced and are highly coveted by collectors today.

(A) HIGH CONDITION BLUE SMITH AND WESSON AMERICAN SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

Lot #1269 (Sale Order 166 of 323)

The American Model was the first big bore cartridge revolver made in the United States. This is a First Model, of which approximately 8000 were made between 1870-72. It is estimated that only about 10% were made with a factory blue finish with the balance of production being of nickel finish. It is not an "oil hole" model, making it a Second Variation First Model. It is a standard model in all respects with an 8" barrel, blue finish, six shot, single action, case color hammer and trigger guard, smooth two piece walnut grips and no lanyard. The top of the barrel is stamped with English barrel address. The caliber is .44 S&W American. The majority of these early large bore guns saw hard use and to find an example that is both factory blue and in near mint original condition makes this a true rarity. You will find the matching assembly number 415 stamped on the back of the cylinder as well as the barrel and latch. The matching serial number, 6803, is also stamped inside the right grip panel. CONDITION: This revolver does not appear to have seen much use. The factory blue is still bright and the grips straps still retain majority of this high polish factory finish. There is some simple flaking of finish on cylinder and barrel while the frame retains the majority of this bright blue. If one were to place a number on remaining finish, it would have to be around 90% but, as stated, blue loss is simply finish flaking, not wear. The bore is near mint and bright. The action is as crisp as new. The original grips are near mint with original oil finish. The dulling color is intact on hammer and traces on guard. This has to be one of the finest surviving blue First Models extant and would be near impossible to find a finer all original example of this scarce big bore Wild West sixgun.

Lot #1276 (Sale Order 173 of 323)

The Ordnance Department purchased 171 unnumbered replacement frames from Colt between 1874 and 1891. A Study of the Colt Single Action Army Revolver" by Graham, Kopec and Moore states that the Army purchased six replacement frames from Colt on May 4th, 1891. These were the last replacement frames purchased from Colt. The left side of the frame is roll stamped with the Colt three-date/two line patent marking initially used by Colt in 1890 at approximately serial number 134,000. The inside of the loading gate is stamped 1561 assembly number. The frame is stamped with the "US" property mark and the letters "LD" instead of a serial number. The barrel is roll stamped "45 COLT" on the left side which indicates was installed during the Colt overhaul of Single Action Army revolvers circa 1903. The underside of the barrel is stamped with the small "RAC" sub-inspection mark utilized during the 1903 Colt overhaul. The cylinder is also a replacement that dates from the same overhaul and is stamped "RAC" sub-inspection mark of the rear face. The bottom of the back strap has no serial number marking. The trigger guard is number 47723 and inspected "HN". The revolver retains at least 85% of the blue finish used in the Colt 1903 overhaul. CONDITION: More than 85% of the bright case colors remain on the frame and hammer. The balance of the revolver has just thinned through. The Colt and Ordnance sub-inspection markings on the barrel and frame are sharp. The walnut grips are excellent overall condition with a couple of light chips. The action is tight and functions like new as is the bore. This unnumbered US Colt was one of the tail end production Artillery Models as they were using up the last of the parts supply. Given the rarity and the near mint overall condition on this nearly unique US Colt, it would be next to impossible to find another example let alone a finer example. This is a rare and documented variation of the Colt Artillery Single Action revolver.

(C) SMITH & WESSON REVOLVER OWNED BY ANNIE OAKLEY AND CURTIS LISTON WILD WEST EXHIBITION SHOOTERS.

Lot #1294 (Sale Order 191 of 323)

Annie Oakley (Phoebe Ann Moses) August 13, 1860 - November 3, 1926 was by all accounts the most famous and gifted exhibition shooter in American history. Performing in William F. Cody's "Buffalo Bill" Wild West Show from 1885 to 1902, Annie Oakley was star of the show and an international sensation. Curtis Liston first saw Annie Oakley in 1898 when he was 18 years old. Annie was performing with the Wild West Show in Liston's hometown, Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Curtis Liston was mesmerized by Annie's performance and remarkable feats of marksmanship. Liston recalls the experience in a September 16, 1956 interview saying "I watched her shooting, and it set me on fire!" "I went away from there filled with desire to shoot like that, though I was only a youngster then". Liston went on to win the National Rifle Championship twelve years later, held in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in 1910. He was asked that same year to join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as an exhibition shooter. During the year of 1911 Annie Oakley came out of retirement to join a new Wild West Show named "Young Buffalo Wild West" along with co-performer Curtis Liston. Annie Oakley and Curtis became fast friends as in July of that year Annie gifted one of her exhibition guns, Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver serial number 115154 to Liston. A few years later in 1918 Annie gave Liston his prize possession, a 20 gauge Parker Shotgun, serial number 181313 as a Christmas gift. Stated in Liston's January 18, 1961 obituary is the following: "Mr. Liston gained fame for his expert marksmanship, having won the world championship rifle and hand-gun competition in Pittsburgh in 1910. Considered the best male shot in the world in his time, he traveled for several years with Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. He was closely associated with the late Annie Oakley while with the performers and worked with her in trick shooting exhibitions. Among his trophies for shooting feats, Mr. Liston claimed as his most prized possession a 20-gauge shotgun given as a Christmas gift with an inlaid gold plate engraved "To Curtis Liston from Annie Oakley". It is interesting to note this very shotgun sold at auction on June 11, 2016 fetching the handsome sum of $195,500.00 Being offered in this lot is Smith & Wesson Military & Police double action revolver, serial number 115154 gifted to Curtis Liston by Annie Oakley.

Accompanying the revolver is the original notarized bill of sale of the revolver to C.R. Boone on July 22, 1955. Also included is an original signed letter from Curtis Liston documenting his trading the revolver to Boone for a "Deer rifle". C.R. Boone sold the revolver to the current owner's family on April 9, 1956. Revolver is well documented and comes housed in a contemporary French fitted cherry wood deluxe case.

Shipped to Wolf & Klar in Fort Worth Texas on June 29, 1922. Accompanying Colt Archival Letter documents configuration and shipment. Letter has an interesting footnote that reads: "The records reveal the above arm had some special work as indicated by Colt Factory Order #6031/5. Specifics of this special work are not available". Former deputy sheriff of Three Sands Oklahoma named John "Two Gun" Middleton is believed to have been carrying this Colt SAA when he was shot down in an "Old West Style" gunfight on July 21, 1923. Headlines in the July 26, 1923 edition of the local newspaper, "The Tonka" reports: "Two Deputy Sheriffs Shot Down Saturday By Choctaw Indian". Middleton along with Deputy George "Hookey" Miller were shot dead by 41 year old Choctaw Indian named Jackson "Chief" Burns. Both Middleton and Miller were known to be rough characters using extreme measures on occasion. One newspaper account reported they were feared and hated by those they dealt with and used cruel tactics on those they were collecting their "protection" monies from. Miller received his moniker "Two Gun" because he was known to proudly carry his Colt SAA on his hip along with a second hideaway gun. Miller acquired his nickname "Hookey" due to his left hand being replaced with a hook. Bad blood had been brewing between the officers and Burns when they previously arrested him for public intoxication, chained him to a bedpost in a local boarding house room, and beat him until he agreed to pay them "protection money". After his release Middleton and Miller threatened to kill him if he returned to town. On the day of the shooting eye witnesses reported Middleton and Miller as saying "There the son-of-a-bitch is now" when they saw him sitting at a café table, then went on to say "Let's smoke him out!" Jackson Burns was tried for murder and found not guilty on September 28, 1923 by reason of self-defense. The revolver is accompanied by several letters of testimony describing the incident and authentication of the gun. CONDITION: Excellent with 95% bright nickel remaining. Action is tight and crisp.

Revolver is deluxe engraved in the classic Helfricht-style featuring foliate scrollwork with punch dot backgrounds. Has 2-piece, carved Mother of Pearl grips with a Steer head motif on right panel. Pictured on page 94 and discussed on page 95 of John Parsons classic 1949 book titled "The Peace-Maker And Its Rivals". The story of this historic New Mexico shipped "Peacemaker" reads like an Old West novel. Originally given to Grant County (Silver City), New Mexico Sheriff Charles A. Farnsworth in 1906 as a gift for his service. Sheriff Farnsworth later loses his prized Colt in a poker game to neighboring Luna County Sheriff, Dwight Stephens. These counties, located in the area of Southwest New Mexico during the turn of the century were still dangerous and troublesome spots, home to outlaws and gunmen. The area's most prosperous industry was the Chino Copper Company located in Santa Rita, just 15 miles from Silver City. Payroll for this outfit reached $30,000 a month, and was common knowledge the mine's manager, John M. Sully personally transported the money on the 10th of each month. At 10:00 a.m. on August 10, 1911, three men armed with "newly-manufactured" automatic pistols held up Sully on his way to Santa Rita. However on this day, Sully did not have the payroll instead he transported it using Wells Fargo & Co. At "gunpoint", the bandits robbed Mr. Sully and his traveling companions and fled on foot into the Santa Rita Mountains. Constable Lon Portwood was alerted and raised a posse to pursue the bandits. The bandits were able to get "the drop" on Portwood's posse, stealing their weapons and horses. The following morning Grant County Sheriff, Herb McGrath mounted a 7-man posse and unsuccessfully tracked the bandits for a week. Sheriff McGrath posted a $1,000 reward for the trio, however the case remained quiet. Several months later on November 7, 1911 a man being held on burglary charges, alias John W. Gates was broken out of the Luna County jail by two armed companions. The two masked gunman surprised Sheriff Dwight Stephens along with his deputy Jim Kealy, disarming them and locking them in their own jail cells. The Colt revolver taken from Sheriff Stephens was serial number 275496 that he won from Farnsworth playing poker. Sheriff Stephens mounted a 5-man posse, tracking the outlaws for over a week. They were discovered in an abandoned adobe house, west of Winston, New Mexico. The outlaws saw the posse and opened fire. During the gun battle, two of the deputies were shot dead, and Sheriff Stephens shot and killed one of the outlaws, John Greer, with his Winchester rifle. Later it was learned that Greer was also wanted for murder in El Paso Texas, and for robbing a Southern Pacific train in 1910. In Greer's possession were the keys from the Luna County Jail and Deputy Kealy's revolver. Greer's body was later identified as one of the three bandits which robbed the Chino Copper Co. manager, John Sully. Now that one of the outlaws had been positively identified, it was fairly certain who the other two were. It was discovered the outlaw who gave his name as Gates when arrested in Luna Co. was actually Irvin Frazier and the third man was Reynold Greer, a brother to the outlaw that had been killed. All three men had been members of Francisco Madero's rebel forces during the Mexican Revolution. The next news came a year later on January 1912 from El Paso Texas when a man named Gray had been arrested for robbing a Santa Fe Railroad train. In Gray's pocket (later learned to be Irvin Frazier) was a pawn ticket which led officers to a beautifully engraved Colt .45 revolver, with the name "Charles A. Farnsworth" engraved on the backstrap! When Farnsworth was notified, authorities learned the Colt was the one Farnsworth had lost in the poker game to Sheriff Dwight B. Stephens, and the same gun stolen from Stephens during the Luna County jailbreak. Click here to see the full description.

(C) HELFRICHT ENGRAVED AND FACTORY GOLD INLAID 1907 COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY SHIPPED TO FAMOUS NEW ME

Lot #1299 (Sale Order 196 of 323)

Fred Lambert's life reads like a Louis LA'more or Larry McMurtry "Old West" novel. Born on January 23, 1887 and growing up in his father's famous saloon/hotel, The St. James, in Cimarron, New Mexico, provided young Lambert with more than enough adventure. His father told him that when he was born, there were 26 bullet holes in the ceiling of the saloon. Some of the most dangerous desperados of the day who frequent his father's saloon, were Black Jack Ketchum and famous lawmen such as Clay Allison and Mac Bowman. Another important figure in young Fred's life was William F. Cody. Cody regarded himself as the youngster's godfather. In an interview, Fred Lambert recalls Cody giving him shooting lessons and advice on how to best handle firearms. Cody would say "A gun is not a plaything; it can be your best friend or your worst enemy". Gunslinger Bob McGinnis, member of Ketchum's outlaw gang also played a role in teaching Fred to draw and shoot. These were the days he spent in the violent country of the Territory of New Mexico when lawlessness was running rampant. To the east the Texas Rangers were successful in their campaign against outlaws, and those that got away chose to move westward. On the western border, Arizona Rangers waged war against the lawless, forcing outlaws to the east. Caught in the middle was the Territory of New Mexico, becoming a refuge for outlaws and gunfighters. In Cimarron, gunfights were almost an everyday affair. In this era, a man would no doubt be called upon to use the gun, and the better he knew how to use it, the better his chances of survival. Fred Lambert learned well. At the tender age of 16, Fred Lambert became a special deputy sheriff in his home county of Colfax. He had barely pinned on the badge when he pursued and captured a dangerous trio wanted for murder. After serving as Special Deputy Sheriff, Lambert became the first town Marshal of Cimarron. He later served as Constable, U.S. Posseman, State Game Warden, Cattle Board Inspector, and the Territorial New Mexico Mounted Police, also known as the New Mexico Rangers. Fred Lambert's career in New Mexico law enforcement spanned a 50+ year period. Later in life he became an accomplished author, poet, and artist. Fred Lambert's prized Colt Single Action Army revolver, serial number 305332 being offered in this lot was special ordered by Lambert from Colt in 1907 and he carried it throughout his career. Accompanying the revolver is a documentation notebook filled with articles, testimonials, and photographs of Lambert with the gun. Among the many articles of documentation are three Colt Archival Letters dated October 24, 2003, July 17, 1978, and May 27, 1983. The October 24, 2003 letter signed by Kathleen J. Hoyt, Historian documents serial number 305332, .32-20 caliber. 5 - 1/2" barrel, blue finish, Pearl with carved Ox head stocks, factory engraved and further embellished with two gold bands on the barrel, and Cimarron, New Mexico engraved on the strap. Shipped to Chas. F. Lambert, Cimarron, New Mexico on January 15, 1908 in a single gun shipment. It is interesting to note that Fred Lambert was an active member of the fraternal organization "The Coming Men Of America". Engraved on top of the backstrap is the fraternal order's monogram. It wasn't until a recent discovery of Colt production records, found on a turned-down page of the journal, is an image of the monogram documenting it was indeed engraved by Colt during time of manufacture. Also, proof of the gold barrel bands being inlaid at the factory were found in the production records. Copies of those ledger pages are also included. The revolver is deluxe engraved by Cuno Helfricht featuring his classic scrollwork with punch dot backgrounds. Special attention was given to fancy borders along the ejector rod housing, top strap, and around the front sight. Overall coverage of engraving is approximately a grade 'C' level. The backstrap is inscribed inside a fancy panel "Cimarron New Mexico". Top of backstrap is engraved with "The Coming Men Of America" monogram. Most attractive and unique factory carved mother of pearl grips featuring an Ox head motif. The eyes and nostrils of the Ox head are inlaid with emeralds. Full factory blue finish with gold inlaid barrel bands located at the breech and muzzle of the 5 - 1/2" barrel. It is generally accepted by Colt collectors that less than ten pre-World War II Colt SAAs received gold inlaid embellishments at the factory. Chambered in .32-20 WCF caliber. In one of the interviews, Lambert speaks to his choosing of the .32-20 chambering. Click here to see the full description.

(C) HIGH CONDITION TEXAS RANGER GRAHAM BARNETT COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH BADGE, HOLSTER

Lot #1300 (Sale Order 197 of 323)

Joe Graham Barnett, better known by his nickname "Bush" and best described as a Texas Legend that struck fear into the hearts of many an outlaw, nonetheless, walked both sides of the law himself. Ranger, bootlegger, deputy Sheriff, rancher, bodyguard, and hired gun. As written in the book, titled: "Graham Barnett / A Dangerous Man" by James L. Coffey, Russell M. Drake, and John T. Barnett, "He was admired by the people who knew him, and many who did not. At the same time, he was feared because of his reputation as a killer and a man with an explosive temper made worse when he drank, and he drank when he chose to. He stood by his friends, even as that number dwindled, and he sought out his enemies wherever they were. He epitomized the description "no greater friend, no worse enemy." In the 1920s and 30s, Texas, and especially West Texas, was a landscape requiring tough lawmen who would bend the rules to stop criminals, outlaws, the Klu Klux Klan, and gangsters, as well as cattle rustlers. Men like Graham "Bush" Barnett were exactly what was needed. His skills with a gun seemed superhuman, he practiced and displayed his skills with both the Colt Single Action Army and a Colt 1911 semi-automatic pistol. His legendary status as the most dangerous man in Texas with a gun only flourished. His career as a Ranger began on May 16th, 1916 when he enlisted in Hill County with Texas Ranger Company C under the command of Captain J. M. Fox. Though he was in and out of the Rangers during this time period, his enlistment lasted until January 30, 1930. On one occasion, during December 1929, he was called upon as a Ranger for a period of 6 months without pay, being endorsed by none other than legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer. It is not exactly known what he was hired to do, and would probably only enhance his legendary reputation if it were known. Graham Barnett's life was cut short 2 years later on December 6th, 1931 in Rankin, Texas by a former friend and Rankin Sherriff, Bud Fowler. The headline in the San Angelo Standard the following day read: "SHERIFF SLAYS GRAHAM BARNETT WITH MACHINE GUN"! It is unusual for a newspaper headline of the time to name the man killed and only identify the killer as "Sherriff", and also implying, it took a machine gun to do it, further immortalizing the reputation of "Bush" Barnett. According to eye witness accounts, including Tony Hess, who was a trusted friend and associate of Barnett's since 1927, "Barnett was trying to borrow money to go into the ranching business from Fowler", Hess told the jury, "He was going to blackmail Fowler for the money". Fowler had been getting "rakeoffs" from local whorehouses and bootleg operations. Barnett had a canceled check written to Fowler by a local madam. He was going to use the check as leverage with Fowler. Sherriff Fowler's testimony declined to say definitely what led up to the difficulty. The only information given was he refused to give Barnett a requested loan. The exact details of what led to Fowler killing Barnett were not exactly made clear, what is clear, however, is that Fowler shot Barnett to death. Fowler's principal defense was the Western Code, "It was him or me", and was acquitted. According to testimony given by a Rankin gas station owner, late that Saturday evening, "Bush [Barnett] drove up to my gas station and told me to 'fill'er up'. He was driving a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor, and said he was on his way to Rankin to collect some money from Bud Fowler". In Rankin, Barnett's car pointed west as Sheriff Fowler drove north up the street and stopped 20 paces from Barnett. Standing outside his car, Barnett was a bit behind Tony Hess, 1 of his 2 companions. Fowler pushed the muzzle of his 50-shot .45 caliber Thompson through the door of his car and fired 7 or 8 times. Barnett fell mortally wounded, dying almost instantly as he fell onto his back. He was hit 7 times, but a doctor said 4 bullets would have killed him. He was drilled with .45 machine gun holes, starting 1" left of his navel and ending up at the right nostril. While this was the end of Barnett's life, his legacy is preserved by the Colt Single Action Revolver presented in this sale. As documented in accompanying Colt Archival Letter dated June 11, 2012 signed by Beverly Jean Haynes, Historian. Letter documents serial number 335154, chambered in .45 Colt caliber, 5 - 1/2" barrel, blue finish, pearl grips with carved steer head motif, factory engraved, level 2 with initials "J.G.B." inscribed on backstrap.

(C) IMPORTANT ENGRAVED CROFT-KEITH SEDGLEY REMODELED COLT BISLEY FEATHERWEIGHT SINGLE ACTION REVOLV

Lot #1313 (Sale Order 210 of 323)

In the 1920's Harold Croft left Pennsylvania with a suitcase full of six guns on a train headed to Durkey, Oregon. He was taking four guns out to show to the famed long-range shooter Elmer Keith. These were Models 1 - 4 that he had developed out of two Colt Single Action Army's and two Bisley model revolver's. Model No. 1 and No. 3 were Single Action Army's and Model No. 2 and No. 4 were the Bisley Models. Croft called them Featherweights. He had removed the ejector rod and housing, machined out the recoil shield, narrowed the frame and trigger guard. Made them into flat tops and added adjustable sights. There is a photograph on page 125 in Elmer Keith's book "Hell, I Was There!" of Croft holding this gun sitting with Elmer Keith. All of Crofts's guns weighed between 30 - 32 ounces. This gun weighs 29.3 ounces. Out of the four guns this is the only one that remains in the original .45 Colt caliber. The other three guns have been converted to .44-40 caliber. On the flat top it is inscribed "S.H. CROFT FEATHERWEIGHT / REMODELED BY R.F. SEDGLEY-INC." and on the left side of the barrel is "MODEL NO. 4" on the right side of the barrel is "MAY 1926". Wilber Glahn engraved this gun with a vine and floral motif. The 2-piece grips are of curly maple. There was an article written on this gun in the August 2018 edition of Guns magazine. This gun was bought at auction at the Terre Haute First National Bank on November 20, 1981. That was the only time it was ever offered publicly. This gun has been in a vault for the last 40 years and was thought that it was lost to the collecting community. CONDITION: All of the machine work that has been done to this gun was superbly executed. The 2-piece grips show just a bit of handling wear but fit the gun expertly. Bright and shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves. The blue shows high edge wear and the grip straps are worn. A piece of firearm's development history.

AWARD WINNING COLT PLASTICS DIVISION DISPLAY.

Lot #1314 (Sale Order 211 of 323)

This extraordinary display of products manufactured by the Colt Plastics Division beginning in the early 1920-1950s, won 3 awards during the Ohio Gun Collectors May 2015 show including: (1) Robert Rubendunst Best Educational Award, (2) 1st Place Modern Division, and (3) Best 1st Time Displayer Award. It also won the following awards during the 2013 Colt Collector's Association show in Norman, Oklahoma: (1) Most Educational Award, (2) Best in Memorabilia Award. The Colt Plastics Division began in the early 1920's as part of Colts Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company out of Hartford, Connecticut. Colt's first "plastics" were molded using heat and compression, or thermosetting. With Bakelite being very prevalent thermosetting compound used during the time period, Colt decided to produce their own version. "Coltrock", made of phenol-formaldehyde, was the name assigned to this new material by then-president Samuel Stone. Many of the early products made of Coltrock were used as smoking accessories and electrical components due to their ability to withstand high temperatures. Some examples of such items include "Pipe-A-Dor", "Lady Nicotine", "Jarette", and "Foursome" to name a few. As technology and materials used evolved, Coltrock was discontinued in approximately 1936. Where Coltrock and thermosetting left off, more modern plastic compounds and injection molding took over. A very successful line of cosmetic jars and vanity accessories were composed of urea-formaldehyde. Eyecups, radio knobs, buttons, lids, and many other products were included in Colt's lineup. In addition, Colt manufactured "cosmetic jewelry" gemstones using methyl methacrylate and ethyl cellulose called "Coltstones". Colt's Plastic Division was sold in 1955 to Penn Texas Corporation and in 1959 to Bentley Plastics Company, the company remains in business today. This remarkable collection contains over 100 pieces of all the described products, including an only known jewelry box. Also included are 2 Colt manufactured adding machines private labeled for Standard Federal. A number of important Colt archival drawings and other documents are included. The entire collection is being offered as 1 lot. CONDITION: Excellent overall with all original artifacts in undamaged fine or better condition. A most unique collection and unique opportunity to acquire an important piece of Colt Manufacturing history. MKS This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Lot #1337 (Sale Order 234 of 323)

Only a few examples of this style of board are speculated to exist, with the belief being that they were manufactured circa 1880, possibly for either executive or exposition use.

Blue cloth background reads "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS" with gilt lettering in a Western font across top in playful ribbon, and "NEW HAVEN. CONN" in straight line across bottom. Unlabelled cartridges are arranged in a decagon with an inverted star in decagon, with center of star displaying a shotgun shell. 6 primer tins are present at top of board, filling in some of the negative space that the Winchester ribbon creates. Underneath ribbon are 2 rows of shells that following the flow of the lettering. Bottom corners decorated with bullet examples, both cast lead and patch, and shotgun shells, including cutaway hulls. Decagon is flanked by two trees of cartridges. Shadowbox expands slightly from rear, and would fit nicely into a slotted alcove. CONDITION: Excellent. Frame retains the vast majority of the gilt with some separation at corners and crazing. Brass is shiny and colorful, while shot shells appear to have been rolled in some kind of sparkling substance to add eye appeal.

CORRECTION: Upon further research it is determined only two of these very unique and extremely rare cartridge boards were produced.

AN ETCHED PARTISAN OF THE BODYGUARD OF COUNT PARIS OF LODRON, PRINCE-ARCHBISHOP OF SALZBURG.

Lot #1366 (Sale Order 263 of 323)

This partisan is one of a series of ceremonial weapons made for the bodyguard of Paris, Count of Lodron, who was the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg between 1619-1653. Lodron was ordained a priest in March 1614, having studied at Trento, Bologona, and with the Jesuits at Ingolstadt. Lodron was then elected Provost of the cathedral chapter and President of the Archbishop's exchequer. With the death of the previous Prince-Archbishop, Markus Sittich von Hohenems, Lodron was elected to succeed him in 1619 and he assumed the official ordination on May 23rd, 1620. Importantly, with Sittich's refusal to join the Catholic League, Lodron was able to keep Salzburg out of the 30 Years War, and instead built up the Benedictine University of Salzburg, appointing Albert Keuslin, and fortified the town. Lodron died in 1653 and was succeded by Guidobald Reichsgraf von Thun. Partisan is comprised of a 22 - 5/8" spatulate blade with double fullers and elaborate wings, etched with foliate designs with "16" on one wing and "20" on the other, indicating manufacture in 1620 and likely coinciding with the official ordination. Central portion of head is etched with the coat of arms of Paris and depicting a lion rampant with nowed tail, another lion with twin tails, and then three bands. The crest is flanked by tassels and topped by a globus cruciger that is further topped by a cardinal's hat. Both sides are acid etched with the same design. Head is mounted on a faceted poletopper and fixed with peened straps that are nailed to shaft. CONDITION: Very good to excellent, with etching still crisp and legible, with one side being slightly faded but still discernible. One tip of wing is damaged and one of the wings near the base is also bent in. "P/7" is written on the faceted base, probably museum numbers. Haft is very good and possible the original, with nails showing some chipping at heads, and plenty of hand rubbing throughout. A brass strap has been affixed to base and a staple has been added to the top of the shaft for display purposes. This is a rare opportunity to own a partisan from a directly verifiable and identifiable 17th century Prince-Archbishop, particularly one who managed to weather the 30 Years War. PROVENANCE: John. K. Lattimer Collection. CF: Two other examples in the Worcester Museum of Art in the Higgins Collection, accession numbers 2014.204 and 2014.128.

EARLY 19TH CENTURY MEDICAL CHEST OF THE SAME DESIGN USED AT SEA DURING THE AGE OF SAIL, WITH PERIOD

Lot #1371 (Sale Order 268 of 323)

During the Age of Sail, surgeons would use medical chests like this one aboard ships in order to treat a number of diseases, wounds, and general medical issues that they might encounter at sea. This example appears to have been manufactured by Rushton & Aspinwall, a pair of druggists in New York circa the first quarter of the 19th century; American ships were required to have a chest assembled by "an apothecary of known reputation and accompanied by directions for administering the same" after 1790 and this would certainly fit the bill. 2 folding doors with a lozenge shaped escutcheon on right door housing a simple warded lock mechanism, left door with locking bar on bottom that extends into base.

Several labels are stained or missing with visible names including paregoric (with note that paregoric was replaced with cornstarch), sirup of squill, powdered bard, ether vitriol, sweet spirits of nitre, spirits of hartshorn, spirit of lavender, tincture of barel, spirit of campuor. Top graduated drawer with 4 porcelain containers of ointments, including Simple ointment, Burgundy pitch, Blistering ointment, and Basilicon Ointment. There is also a pair of "SHEAR STEEL" stamped mixing tools. Bottom drawer with eight additional bottles including Powdered rhubarb, sulphur of quinine, eye essence, Dover's powdered, powdered Ipecac, calomel, and a small paper box marked for Lawrence & Co, with crossed out information on top and a small period piece of paper with "Kellogg's Laboratory" and an address with instructions for 1/2 to 1/4 at bedtime but no information on the prescription. In the drawer is also a small pair of books, one labeled 'COMPANION TO THE FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST" which contains descriptions of the contents and some handwritten notes that are difficult to read but appear to be a reference to the contents either being out of supply or restored; second booklet has lost its cover but appears to be a period fact book with information such as interesting facts, information on political structures, etc. CONDITION: Excellent. Bottles are excellent; one in the graduated drawers with significant cracks and some chips. One other bottle has a significant chip at mouth, and one ointment container has a shattered top that was carefully repaired. Bottles have a wonderful undisturbed patina with some contents having crystallized or evaporated completely. Ointment porcelains have craquelure and some discoloration throughout. Chest is excellent with some handling marks throughout and one horizontal crack on right door. Ring pulls are damaged and must be opened carefully.

(A) EXTREMELY RARE GROUPING OF PERSONAL EFFECTS AND PAIR OF 1805 US PISTOLS IDENTIFIED TO BRIG. GEN.

Lot #1380 (Sale Order 277 of 323)

A wonderful opportunity to own a piece of early American history with a great pairing of personal and military effects of Brigadier General Moses Porter. Porter was born in 1756 in Danvers, Massachusetts to Benjamin and Sarah Brown Porter and died in 1822 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is best described by his epitaph on his tombstone which reads "An ardent patriot, a brave and honorable soldier, an unassuming and virtuous citizen, a generous and faithful friend. He served his country with distinguished ability and reputation, from the commencement of the Revolutionary war till he expired, full of years and honors, on the 14th of April, A.D. 1822 AE 66". Porter started his military career in 1777 with 6th Massachusetts Regiment where he saw action at the Battle of Saratoga serving with Benedict Arnold in the important victory over General Burgoyne and the British. He then participated in the Battle of Springfield, which ended in the British abandoning their New Jersey Campaign. His service record reads like a history of the United States with participation in Bunker Hill, Brandywine, Germantown, and Valley Forge, just to name a few conflicts. The consignor has done extensive research on this important individual with enough information for a book. With the lot is included several framed commissions and originally, as the consignor has stated, once included one signed by George Washington (the consignor has provided a copy in the packet). The remaining original commissions include one signed by Thomas Jefferson and two signed by James Madison which all nicely framed and under glass. Porter later participates in the Northwest Indian Wars and many battles in the War of 1812, which the consignor has well-documented data of his service in these conflicts. This man, while not an everyday name in history, knew and associated and supported those who would someday become stalwart names in the establishment of this country. This offering includes some of the personal effects of this great patriot including his custom pair of US Model 1805 Harper's Ferry flintlock pistols with round smoothbore .54 caliber barrels with "US", "(Eagle) / P" touchmarks, one serial numbered "1024" and the other "1280". Guns are made in the English style with walnut stocks and brass furniture including brass buttcaps with checkering covering grips, and buttcap straps. Both guns have crisp inspector's marks that look to be "V / J S". Original flintlocks are marked with "(Eagle) / US", "Harper's Ferry", and dated "1807" at rear of locks. Both guns have silver thumbpiece with initials "MP" in script. It is unknown why the difference in serial numbers but these two guns are definitely made to be a pair and are rare in their own right. Experts estimate only 200 to 300 examples of these pistols exist today. The pistols come in a double over-the-pommel style leather flap holster with brass tipped bases. Further articles include a Federal period mahogany veneer over pine chest with Bohemian cut glass decanters - eight large and one small decanter (one missing) plus wrapped accessories. Also Porter's leather-covered campaign trunk with his initials in brass tacks and a plate with Porter's name as a Brigadier General. The trunk contains a linen vest with four original uniform buttons of the 1st Regiment, Light Artillery attached and two additional unattached buttons, copy of a portrait of Moses Porter as a Colonel from the Danvers, Massachusetts Historical Society Collection, a 1927 pamphlet from Danvers (Massachusetts) Historical society with an article about Porter and a Book of "Mess Regulations" written by Moses Porter with his name written in pencil in it which the consignor believes is authentic. Also included is a small and unusual table with a padded area used for an unknown purpose. This lot contains a tremendous compilation of a very historically important man. CONDITION: The pistols are in good to very good condition with pistol number 1024 having a overall aged patina with barrel having some small surface pits and has faded to a plum brown color. The wood has some discoloration around lock from ignition and front brass band has an almost unnoticeable repair. Checkering and cartouches are sharp with brass hardware turning an aged golden patina. Lock missing flint with original hardwood ramrod. Click here to see the full description.
