1ST MODEL COLT DRAGOON REVOLVER CARRIED BY WILLIAM

Lot #4001 (Sale Order 1 of 530)

ROWE, 2ND ARKANSAS CAVALRY AND IMAGE OF HIM HOLDING REVOLVER AND PROVENANCE. Cal. 44. S# 3085. Bbl. 7 1/2" standard configuration, blue & case colors, silver plated grip frame. This is a very nice well documented example known. Soldier personalized revolver w/ iron tack design, small star on left grip & his initials W.R. on right. William also scratched his initials on backstrap “WFR”, “W” on left ear, “F” on top, & “R” on right ear. This was a very valuable gun even in its day & William wanted his name on it. It is very rare to see a photograph of a soldier holding the weapon he carried & he is proudly holding it across his breast in 9th plate tintype wearing enlisted cavalry shell jacket & forage cap w/ crossed saber insignia. It would be quite interesting to know how he came about this early Dragoon made in 1848. William F. Rowe (1843-1917) Born in Prussia, left his mother & father, immigrated by himself to America, landing in Fort Smith Arkansas December 7, 1859 at 16 years old. Enrolled in Company H, 2nd Arkansas cavalry September 7, 1863, & was mustered out Memphis Tennessee, August 1865. He lived his life, died & is buried at Fort Smith where he originally enlisted. When William mustered out in August 1865, he was charged $8 for retaining “pistol”, could this have been the pistol? This revolver was originally a civilian purchased from Colt in 1848. Could it have been captured during the war from Confederates & inventoried as US government property & reissued? There is indiscernible lightly scratched name on the butt w/ last initial “H” & a pair of initials scratched on the triggerguard “EH”. So, who had this gun originally w/ different last name? There is a wonderful article written in the Fort Smith Historical Society Journal in 1980 that is included w/ this lot. It details all the effects of William F Rowe. The article was written by his grandson who was 9 years old when William died, but still had vivid recollections of the war stories he was told. Nicholas J Kelly (1908-1982) the grandson died not long after this wonderful article was published, he had sold this pistol & other items for $3000 in 1970. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanying this lot along w/ pistol and 9th plate tintype are US oval belt plate, GAR membership badge, GAR hat insignia, & GAR program from San Francisco 1886, all in shadowbox type frame. Revolver is nicely displayed in beveled casing w/ accessories. 1980 Fort Smith Historical Society Journal, 1970 letter from the Kelly selling the gun to Mr. Hodge along w/ other items.

EXTREMELY FINE MODEL 1851 NAVY REVOLVER WITH

Lot #4017 (Sale Order 17 of 530)

EXTREMELY RARE MATCHING 1ST MODEL CANTEEN STOCK. Cal. 36. S# 62638. There are only 5 or 6 examples known of Colt factory 1st model cut for stock navies, all made 1855-1856. This coordinates w/ 1st model shoulder stocks for Dragoon revolvers also made 1855-1856. The design for the stock closely follows that of the US Model 1855 pistol carbine w/ 2 prongs extending from the stock yoke to engage 2 slots in pistol’s backstrap & then secured by tightening knurled knob on bottom of yoke. The most common version, which was standard after 1857, required 4 screw frame, slotted butt strap & yoke extension on stock to fit into slot. This earliest 1st model design w/ out yoke & 3 screw frame is more complex to manufacture requiring steel grip frame. Like the other 2 known 1st models, trigger guard is fitted w/ sling swivel as is stock. The special order revolver has Colt factory German silver front sight fitted in dovetailed slot & deluxe burled walnut grips. Revolver has matching serial number 62638 on every part normally numbered w/ exception of loading arm 2639 & cylinder numbered 62689. Unique canteen stock has silver plated yoke w/ matching serial number 62638, silver plated brass buttplate has serial number, probable factory error 62628. Two small sling swivels are fitted in stock, one on yoke & one on oval escutcheon. This is the only example of the 1st model Colt Navy shoulder stock w/ pistol we are aware ever offered in auction. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 6 page R. L. Wilson letter detailing rarity & its discovery in Scandinavia about 1995. CONDITION: extremely fine overall. Revolver retains about 95% bright factory blue on bbl., about 40% blue on cyl., muted case colors on frame, hammer & loading lever. There is rust & pitting on two of the sling swivels on pistol & stock where, according to the accompanying letter, stated original leather sling had been attached for decades causing the corrosion. There is also corrosion on slightly flat trigger bow & other areas on grip frame & one streak on cylinder which does not affect overall aesthetic of this great rarity. Burled grips retain most all of their factory varnish w/ light edge wear but varnish worn through in 2 crescents where yoke attached. Mechanically fine w/ crisp bright rifled bore. Stock retains most of its original silver plate on yoke, buttplate, & rear sling swivel escutcheon. Stock retains 95% original factory varnish w/ scattered small dings & dents & 3" long gouge on right side. Canteen screw in plug & attached chain are intact & functional. (01-19959/JS).

The regiment saw its heaviest action, suffering more than 200 casualties, at a place called Quaker Road on March 29, 1865, as Grant pressed Lee’s right flank. During the battle, Union forces were initially being repulsed. The brigade commander of the 185th, Gen. Joshua Chamberlain, anxiously asked Colonel Sniper if his regiment could “save the day.” Sniper replied “he would try”, and the 185th launched a counter-attack. While carrying the regimental flag, the unit’s color-bearer, Benton H. Wilson, was wounded twice. The sergeant of the color-company took over carrying the Stars & Stripes, but was killed in short order. Another member of the color guard seized the flag, but was immediately shot in the hand. Capt. Lathrop next grasped the colors, but was severely wounded in the foot. At this juncture, Sniper seized the flag & shouted, “Men of the 185th, forward!” They rallied, followed the gallant Sniper & the final advance was made, overrunning the Confederate position. Further action for the 185th occurred at the critical Union victory at Five Forks & eventually near Appomattox Court House. It was there, on April 9, 1865, just as Lee’s flag of truce to discuss surrender was being shown, that Lt. Hiram Clark of the 185th became the last man killed in the Army of the Potomac when a rebel shell took his life. Sniper & the 185th returned to Syracuse by train on June 3, 1865 and marched from the station in Vanderbilt Square to welcoming ceremonies in Hanover Square. The tattered remains of the silk flag that Sniper used to rally his men rests at the Onondaga County Courthouse. Sniper was brevetted Brig. Gen. for gallantry shown at the battle of Quaker Rd., March 29th1865. There was always a sincere measure of respect between members of the 185th & the former commander of their brigade, Chamberlain. In June 1899, Chamberlain traveled to Baldwinsville from Maine to address a reunion of the 185th. After the war, Sniper’s reputation as a leader & his popularity among the city’s German-American community propelled him into government service. He served three terms in the state assembly, was elected county clerk and eventually a deputy collector of internal revenue. Sniper died unexpectedly in his North Side home, at 504 Prospect Ave., in 1894, just a few blocks from where his statue would be unveiled in 1905 – a civic project sponsored by local veterans & designed by Syracuse architect Charles E. Colton & sculpture by Frederick Moynihan. Framed oil escutcheon (37" x 31") details Sniper’s Civil War career & rarely found are these oil on canvas examples, most were on preprinted paper as cost of an original painting was high. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: folder of paperwork relating to Gustavus Sniper. CONDITION: revolvers are both very good overall w/ crisp edges & markings, traces of original finish can be found in protected areas, role cyl. scenes are mostly discernible. Safety pins on cyls. all functional, though one is smashed on serial number 111188. Grips retain most of their original factory varnish. Both revolvers are mechanically fine w/ crisp rifled bores. The accompanying casing has soiled & stained lining. The angled spout “COLT’S PATENT” panoply of arms flask retains much of its original varnish. Mold, cartridge pack, cap tin & L-shaped tool are good overall. Casing has partially detached hinges but otherwise is sound. Escutcheon is fair to good overall w/ several sm. holes in canvas, painted text discernible. PROVENANCE: Sniper Family Estate; Vinny Caponi; ex-Tom Carter Collection; estate collection Gary Parietti.

PRESENTATION FACTORY ENGRAVED AND IVORY MOUNTED

Lot #4038 (Sale Order 40 of 530)

COLT MODEL 1861 NAVY REVOLVER. Cal. 36. S# 18670 IE. Standard configuration. Bbl. 7.5" rnd. Ulrich engraved, silverplated, “certifiable antique ivory” grips, iron backstrap inscribed “Col. Colt to Capt. J.C. Comstock / Hartford Light Guard”. Revolver is featured in a 2013 article in Texas Heritage Magazine. The article states that Comstock, after leading his men at 1st Manassas, became ill & came home to Hartford where the very ill Colt gave his good friend this revolver before Colt would die in January 1862, Comstock died a month later. This gun, however; is quite an enigma as the published serial range would indicate manufacture in 1864, well past Col. Colt’s death. The inscription however appears original. Colt authority R.L. “Larry” Wilson stated in accompanying letter of authenticity “It is possible that as an important presentation, the revolver had such special or rushed attention in the engraving department that a mistaken serial marking was employed. It could also be that Colt wanted the public & the industry to feel that his production numbers [of this new model] were higher than the actual… Colt is known e.g., of skipping serial numbers to make it appear that more pieces were made than actual fact. A prime example of this is deluxe cased & engraved Model 1851 Navy revolver serial number 69367… Since only about 42,000 London navies were produced, the highest serial range of the specimen is hard to explain. Colt fanciers must expect to occasionally come upon unexplainable mysteries of manufacture which spark the imagination.” Regardless, this is a beautiful & attractive original Ulrich factory engraved revolver & is very moderately estimated. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 12 page letter from R.L. Wilson stating the importance of this revolver: copy of article “A Gift for a Friend” from volume 3 Texas Heritage 2013. CONDITION: very good to fine overall. Crisp markings, much of the original silver is present, mostly discernible cyl. scene, all 6 crisp safety pins. Smooth ivory grips are well fit w/ good patina. Mechanically fine w/ crisp rifled bore. Accompanying very good reproduction Colt casing & powder flask display revolver nicely. (01-19826). ANTIQUE. $4,000-6,000.

HISTORIC AND EXCEPTIONALLY RARE COLT EXHIBITION

Lot #4044 (Sale Order 46 of 530)

ENGRAVED GOLD, SILVER, NICKEL AND IVORY SINGLE ACTION ARMY FROM FAMOUS 1876 PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL WORLD EXPOSITION. Cal. .45. S# 11089. Standard configuration, manufactured 1874, 7.5" bbl. w/ 1 line script address, 2 line 1871 & 1872 patents on left side of frame. Accompanied with letter from noted Colt Engraving authority R. L. Wilson wherein he extols the quality of this revolver and relates its history as he knows it. This revolver appears in full color on pgs. 172-177 & 178 of Colt Pistols, Wilson & Hable; several times in Mr. Wilson’s Colt engraving books, the original and Volume I; in color on pgs. 174, 181 & 305 The Colt Heritage, Wilson; again in Colt An American Legend, Wilson; and on p. 28 Buffalo Bill’s Wild West An American Legend, Wilson & Martin. Like the other exposition guns exhibited in the Philadelphia Centennial display, this revolver is magnificently fully Colt factory engraved. Revolver exhibits known features of both Helfrich & Ulrich which both include elegantly engraved superb delicate arabesque intertwined scrolls, floral & geometric design en suite on every component of revolver including nearly full coverage on hammer, cylinder barrel & ejector. In beautiful contrast to the bright polished nickel are gold plated cyl., hammer, trigger guard, backstrap & ejector housing including its spring. Revolver is mounted w/ finest polished smooth 1 piece ivory grips. Adding further to contrasting colors are the brilliant fire blued screws & cylinder pin. This special class of “over the top” decoration is seen only on special display & presentation Colts. The intertwined design as noted by Wilson as “special scroll” is only seen in 1870s and few guns after the Philadelphia Centennial examples. As there are no signed examples or Colt records identifying engraver, the engraver name is speculation though the quality is magnificent. In comparing signed Ulrich arms of this era, Herman Ulrich was most likely the artist, though his brother was chief contract engraver at the time. There is no surviving list of serial numbers of the 18 Philadelphia Centennial Single Actions at center of the famous display. However; there is little doubt that 15 of the serial numbers are known based on Colt “loans” of revolvers for advertising via various expositions from known documents 1877-1895. The best known of these is dated October 15, 1877 on letterhead of H. & D. Folsom to Colt and lists 12 engraved SAAs in detail & Henry Folsom states in postscript: “They attracted a great deal of attention at the exposition and believe they have been a great advertisement”. This revolver and a few others are all accepted by knowledgeable arms collectors as being part of the Philadelphia display, though few survivors are known. This exact gun, SN11089, can be identified by its photograph along w/ SN 11088, almost identically engraved on the Colt display wheel. This is noted by Wilson in 1987 text “Colt An American Legend”. SN 11088 did not survive in the exemplary condition of 11089 being offered. SN 11086, 11087, 11088 are all listed in Colt ledgers as being “loaned” at various dates after the centennial, so why isn’t SN 11089 listed? We know it is pictured in the display. Wilson delves into reasoning in his accompanying letter. Regardless, this is the one of the best two Philadelphia Centennial Colt Single Actions. The other great example, SN 8928, had its grips changed after centennial display from ivory to wood based on 1877 ledger & photo in the wheel. Colt used these fanciest exhibition guns for promotion and advertising throughout the 19th century as noted by shipments as late as 1897 for at least one of the 1877 Folsom listed guns. SN 11089 is well known to the collecting community & pictured along w/ 11088 in the 1984 Hable book & no doubt one of the Philadelphia Centennial revolvers. Several of the serial numbered guns on the Folsom list are known shipped on multiple occasions as “loans” for exhibitions. This is among the finest & most elaborate of all known Colt Single Action Army Revolvers, few better will ever come to market w/ such fantastic condition, history and renowned collection history. Revolver is housed in a custom leather French fitted green velvet lined casing made by Arno Werner. Removable fitted lid is elegantly gold embossed “PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL / 1876 / COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER / NO. 11089”. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanying is a framed, poster size copy of a photograph of the Colt “wheel” display at the 1876 Expo which includes the 18 engraved & ivory gripped Colt single actions in the center, one of which is undoubtedly this revolver.

VERY RARE BULLARD SOLID FRAME MILITARY STYLE

Lot #4085 (Sale Order 87 of 530)

SINGLE SHOT SRC. Cal. 45-70. S# 3745. James Herbert Bullard (1842-1914) patented a wide range of inventions. His first repeating rifle patent was granted Aug. 16, 1881. Bullard Repeating Arms Company produced an estimated 2,800 rifles from 1883-1891. These include large & small frame repeaters & both solid frame & takedown interchangeable single shots. The solid frame single shots appeared in 1885. Single shot production was w/in S# range 3501 to just under 4100. Most of the first 175 were solid frames. Only a few solid frames were built w/ higher S#'s after the detachable interchangeable bbl. models were introduced in 1887. The majority of single shot solid frame models were in target rifle or gallery configuration. As early as 1885, the Bullard company sought to secure military orders that would stabilize it's production. The 1887 catalog lists military models as being available. "Bullard Firearms" by G. Scott Jamieson states "Letters to museums around the world have failed to turn up evidence of a military sale, but if they did secure one it must have been an insignificant one, thus marking Bullard military examples the rarest Bullards of all, with the possible exception of engraved models". It is known that several experimental military models were produced. These include 2 Hindley pattern repeating muskets that were submitted to the US Ordnance Department in 1888, 1 of these is known to be S# 2529. Also identified is S# 2521, a military style repeating SRC. This carbine has the same buttplate w/ movable lid to expose the cleaning rod holes as found on the single shot carbine in this description. It is further known that single shot solid frame muskets & solid frame carbines were produced. Identified single shots include: S# 3527, a musket w/ non factory cut down forend; S# 3575, a musket w/ 32" bbl. & S# 3528 a carbine w/ 26" bbl., cal. 45-70. All of these have the round top receiver that were primarily reserved for military use. This carbine S# 3745 was only recently discovered, this rare carbine is new to the market.

HISTORIC WINCHESTER 1866 RIFLE PRESENTED TO

Lot #4104 (Sale Order 106 of 530)

FRONTIER LEGEND, "CALAMITY JANE" CANARY. Cal. 44 HRF. S# 45383. Calamity Jane was born Martha Jane Canary near Princeton, Missouri in 1856. After moving the family to Virginia City, Montana Territory in 1861, her mother passed in 1866 & father in 1867 orphaning the children. Martha arrived in the Wyoming Territory at a young age in 1868. In 1873, Captain James Egan bestowed on her the nickname "Calamity Jane" after she saved his life during an indian battle at Goose Creek, WY. In June of 1876, Calamity Jane arrived in Deadwood, South Dakota w/ James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock. After Wild Bill was murdered on Aug. 2nd, Calamity Jane stayed in the Black Hills where she nursed many during the smallpox epidemic. Calamity Jane became the heroin of many dime novels that championed her exploits as a frontier woman, Indian Scout & bullwacker. In 1893, Calamity Jane appeared as a story teller in Buffalo Bills "Wild West Show". In 1896, she toured w/ Cole & Middleton, wrote an autobiography & performed at the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY. Martha Jane Canary passed in Terry, South Dakota in 1903 & is buried alongside James Bulter Hickock in Deadwood. After Calamity Jane saved his life, Capt. James Egan ordered this rifle w/ presentation engraving to honor her. As the story goes, Calamity Jane left the rifle w/ an unknown gunsmith in Miles City, Montana & never returned to retrieve it. Speculation is the gunsmith removed the side plates w/ the inscription to Calamity Jane. The gun fell into the hands of Lynel Compiegne, who was a deputy sheriff in Miles City & a pioneer Nebraska cattleman. In his later years, Compiegne moved to Faribault, Minnesota. After his death, the gun passed to his friend Harry B Smith, a banker & insurance man from Faribault. The gun has been the subject of numerous articles over the years starting with the 1957 edition of Gun Digest where it was featured in an article "Collector's Bonanza, by Major R. O Ackerman". Smith sold the rifle to Fred Remershied of Osceola, Iowa. On Sept 28, 1957, who sold it to L K Smith. In 1969, A. D. Aspegran of Durr, Kansas purchased it from Smith.

Lot #4108 (Sale Order 110 of 530)

RARE 1ST PRODUCTION WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 RIFLE,

Lot #4109 (Sale Order 111 of 530)

SERIAL NUMBER 19, INSCRIBED TO “THOMAS LYONS”. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). S# 19. Bbl. 24" octagon. Rare first production run of the Model 1873 rifle. Bbl. w/ 2 line address, full magazine, German silver Rocky Mountain front sight & original reverse mounted, short sporting rear sight w/ checkered edges & reverse cut sighting notch. Early forged iron receiver is blue finish & features mortised dust cover w/ 1/2" raised fine checkered thumb print panel. Casehardened lever & hammer. Set trigger without safety block. Bolt is the early type w/ a removable firing pin bushing. Top tang is unmarked & has the rare early feature of two threaded holes for tang sight. Left receiver plate is period engraved “THOMAS LYONS” in script. Mounted w/ nicely figured American walnut w/ crescent buttplate & trap. Original single sling swivel of the period is mounted on the toeline. Assembly number “16” was observed on left side of lower tang under the wood, on top tang channel of buttstock & inside toe of buttplate. Serial number “19” & “Model 1873” on bottom tang are hand engraved in script & lever latch threaded through tang which is correct for the earliest First Models. Accompanied by a 1992 Cody Firearms Museum letter and 2020 Research Sheet which lists this rifle as found w/ set trigger, blued finish, long stock and target 2 3/4 inch. Received in warehouse Feb. 27, 1874 & shipped March 28, 1874 to order #1182. The entry “Long stock” most likely refers to the use of Model 1866 wood on the first run of early '73s. It measures 13 1/4" from trigger to center of buttplate which is longer than the standard '73 production specification but the same length as the '66. Occurrence of the single sling swivel likely a '66 remnant & thus not mentioned in records. The notation “Target 2 3/4" is presumed to be test firing prior to being received at the warehouse, resulting in a 2 3/4" group. Target notations are seen in early 1873 records. Only 18 of the first run of 50 guns were received in 1873 & 108 the following year, due largely to issues w/ production & development of the new centerfire .44-40 cartridge. The Model of 1873 was first listed in the 1875 catalog & began advertising to the public in the highly regarded Army and Navy Journal and other periodicals the same year. The sideplate inscription ID is believed to be that of noted Silver City, NM mining magnate & cattle baron, Thomas Lyons, of the 1.5 million acre Lyons & Campbell Ranch. Lyons was a talented machinist & self taught mining engineer who headed west w/ a group of investors from Kenosha Wisconsin to exploit the rich copper & silver deposits of rough & tumble Grant County, NM the early 1870s. A successful businessman, Lyons sold his mining & foundry interests & began to buy up all of the best grazing land in the Gila River Valley w/ partner Angus Campbell in the 1880s. This partnership began their almost 40 year endeavor that would overshadow all other ranching operations in the southwest. In 1917 Tom Lyons was mysteriously murdered in El Paso, TX by a hired assassin. He had been a controversial figure in the region from the onset & likely had many enemies. Several interesting books & various articles outline his legacy. One such book, “Triumph and Tragedy: A History of Thomas Lyons and the LCs”, authored by Lyons' direct descendants accompanies this lot. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1992 Cody Museum letter; 2020 Cody Museum Research sheet; Lyon's book "Triumph and Tragedy: A History of Thomas Lyons and the LCs.".

45-70 GOVERNMENT THUNDERVALLEY GATLING GUN.

Lot #4293 (Sale Order 297 of 530)

Cal. 45-70. S# 1004. Bbls. 31”. A full scale, functional reproduction of the well known 1883 Battery Gun. These guns boasted a large round brass receiver w/ an exposed 10 bbl. cluster. This gun wears a heavy duty circular name plate w/ the original Gatling nomenclature, directly behind the feed mechanism that reads “GATLING’S BATTERY GUN / PAT. NOV 4. 1862 / MAY 9. 1865 / FEB 28. 1871 / APR 9. 1872 / MADE BY COLT’S PT. FIRE ARMS / MFG CO / HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.” Running parallel w/ the bbl. cluster are 2 steel frame rails on either side. Right side of receiver rail marked "Thunder Valley Machine Co. Clinton, Ohio. SN 1004 (4 of 6)". The feed mechanism is the circular Accles positive feed device, & is often referred to as a 100 round magazine though it is not uncommon for them to hold any capacity between 99-104 rounds, (we are uncertain of the capacity on this gun). The gun is mounted on a large tripod w/ 32" legs, positioning itself 28" off the ground at the pedestal. Bottom of legs include integral 7.5" diameter pad for stability. Though it is not identical to the original Colt offering, this appears to be a well made, functional Gatling gun that would find itself a centerpiece in a collection or on the firing line. MAGS: 1 Accles power feed drum. CONDITION: both mechanically & aesthetically, this appears to be in good condition, possibly only having been fired very lightly; the mechanism has been updated to address original weak points. Internals, including bolts & gearing inspected & oiled, fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, utilizing snap caps, bores retain very good rifling. (20-460/JZ). MODERN. $14,000-18,000.
