EXCEEDINGLY RARE WWII GERMAN 1944 ZIELGERAT 1229

Lot #1007 (Sale Order 2 of 927)

NIGHT VISION SCOPE CODE NAMED VAMPIR. It is hard to imagine a modern battlefield without the capabilities of night vision, but during WWII the technology was in its infancy. As early as 1935, Allgemeine Elektricitats-Gesellschaft developed night vision equipment for use by armor as well as infantry units. Unfortunately, the equipment was exceptionally large, heavy and expensive. In 1942, German researchers developed prototype night vision sights for use on anti-tank guns but not hand held weapons. The Zielgerat 1229 was first produced in 1944 and code named, "Vampir". It was an active infrared system in which an infrared spotlight illuminates the target area with infrared light that is converted to the visible spectrum in an electronic scope/camera. It represented a giant leap forward in the production and use of night vision equipment. The Zielgerat 1229 could be fitted to the StG44 assault rifle or the MG42 and MG34 machine guns. The ZG1229 was fitted with lugs to the StG44 at C.G. Haenel at Suhl, the famous German weapons production facility. A total of 310 were made and delivered to the Wehrmacht in 1945. Snipers who were lucky enough to receive the Vampir device were designated "Nachtjagers" which translates to "Night Hunters". The ZG1229 Vampir was by no means light in weight. It weighed approximately 5 pounds but needed a battery pack weighing 30 pounds mounted to a Tragegestell 39 pack frame. Add to this 11 pounds for the StG44 assault rifle, and the "Nachtjager" carried a total of nearly 50 pounds into the field in addition to his normal pack. The vast majority of the Vampirs were used on the Eastern Front to stem the advance of Russian forces pushing to Berlin. This example includes the Zielgerat infrared scope itself, and the modified gas mask canister that contains a transformer and other electrical components required to power the scope. The original battery pack and infrared illuminator are missing, but an American illuminator of similar age is included. The scope would have been mounted to the top of the rifle and the illuminator would have been mounted to the top of the scope. The late owner was stationed in England with the US Navy in the 1950s. He obtained the scope from a colleague in the British Army. The scope was known to be operational as late as 1960. Since then it has been stored in a heated basement and no attempts have been made to power it up. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: letters from Roger Shoemaker's widow, Lois and a friend, Carl Zipper. A large loose leaf binder titled, "(WWII German) Night Vision Technical Information from www.cdvant.com website". CONDITION: scope and illuminator show some oxidation and wear to the paint acquired over many years of storage. The gas mask canister also shows areas of oxidation mixed with original paint. All cables and cords show wear and some fraying but appear substantially complete. A singular opportunity to acquire one of the world's first practical night vision scopes and a rare survivor of late war German technology. PROVENANCE: Estate of Roger Shoemaker. (02-17306/BF). $25,000-35,000.

DENNY'S GUNS NEW MODEL AUTO & BURGLER SBS.

Lot #1038 (Sale Order 12 of 927)

Cal. 20ga. S# B7636. Bbl.9.25". From 1921 to 1925 Ithaca manufactured a very short version of their standard 20ga. double barreled shotgun that would become known as the "Auto & Burgler". They made around 2500 of their "Model A" which chambered 2.5" shells in that time frame. In 1925 they upgraded it to the "New Improved Double" (NID) shotgun, which could chamber 2.75" shells, which became known as their "Model B". While the Model A had 10" barrels, the Model B utilized 12.2" barrels. They also redesigned the pistol grip and boasted approximately 1500 in this new configuration. Eventually, due to the very low number of these, they became very expensive, and with that, more desirable. In the late 1990's Denny's Guns started manufacturing them again, this time using the Italian Tristar Model 411 as the base gun. These were also manufactured in very limited numbers and remain rare and desirable today. The example here was built on a beautiful case-colored receiver and boasts barrels just over 9" in length. It is also chambered in 20ga., utilizing a vent rib w/ a gold bead sight. The barrels are bright blued and it has warm brown hardwood furniture & double gold triggers. While many were registered as AOW's (Any Other Weapon) this particular example is classified as a SBS (Short Barreled Shotgun). CONDITION: As typical with these, there is very little evidence of use. Both sides of the receiver are engraved "NEW MODEL AUTO & BURGLER GUN". There is a light amount of scuffing on the right side of the receiver over the engraving visible under close inspection. Barrels are shiny. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT SBS REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE. (03-1581/JZ). MODERN CLASS III. $400-600.

Tripod top, rear of mounting lugs marked w/ German code FSU indicating Brandenburger Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Excelsior mfg. in 1943. Opposite of trigger marked "BKH 1942". Standard German mfg. procedures being well known for over engineering, this mount will not disappoint. It is a multi-functional tripod designed for low ground firing w/ a wide berth of traverse & elevation as well as the ability to add an anti-aircraft mount. These mounts are not a simple stationary device only designed to lift the firearm off the ground but are complicated pieces of machinery that actually aid & assist in the function of the MG34. Use of this mount allows the MG34 to be fired remotely, partially concealing the position of the operator. There is a provision for mounting optics directly on the tripod when utilizing this system. Most external metal surfaces painted in period correct shade of green. This is an original German MG34 Lafette tripod & not a much more common Yugo import designed around the MG42 / MG3. CONDITION: all moving parts are smooth w/ a full range & appear to function exactly as intended. Remote firing mechanism moves freely & functions correctly. All traverse adjustment related markings are clear. Paint coverage is complete aside from obvious areas of friction during use & mounting w/ some wear as expected from this period. Pads on front remain soft, pliable & very smooth although they look like finish has been roughed up from abrasion. 2) MG42/MG3 Anti Aircraft tripod. Painted green. Appears to still retain originality and not modified like so many others. CONDITION: the vast majority of all components wear green paint. Legs appear straight & mechanism moves effortlessly. Foot spikes are strait and solid. Very clean unit. 3) 3 spare MG34 barrels.

Bores are all bright w/ strong rifling. 4) 3 Gurttrommel (Belt Drums) & 1 Gurttrommeltrager (carrying frame). All painted varying shades of green. Drums are assumably post war given lack of markings while frame has Waffenamt & numbers. Drums & holder all in terrific condition. 5) 40 MG34 belts. 7.92x57mm (8mm Mauser) non-disintegrating belt sections, 20 of which are still as issued, in sealed packaging. 6) Anti-aircraft sight. 4.25" diameter "spider web" sight w/ spring loaded base.

EXTREMELY RARE BRITISH FV102 STRIKER ATGM CARRIER.

Lot #1044 (Sale Order 17 of 927)

The FV102 Striker is a British member of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance, Tracked classification “CVR(T)” designed as an Anti-Tank Guided Missile “ATGM” carrier, specifically for the Swingfire Guided Missile System. There were a total of only 48 ordered in this configuration, & we believe this is the only example to be imported into the United States. Each FV102 Striker is originally loaded with 5 missiles, ready for immediate deployment in the launcher, and 5 more on board for reloading. The Striker Swingfire anti-tank guided missile launcher is boxed on the rear of the body. When needed, the launch box is elevated 35-degrees and the missiles are fired over the front of the vehicle. They are wire-guided missiles where the gunner has to keep his sights on the target and and control it with a small joystick. It is fitted with eight smoke grenade dischargers, in two clusters of four, on each side. It is fitted with a turret and mount for a 7.62mm L7 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), the British variant of the Belgian FN MAG. It could be operated directly, or remotely, under cover, from inside of the Striker through a solenoid trigger mechanism and linkage to control traverse and elevation. Its ammunition capacity was 3000 rounds. The FV102 carries a crew of 3, with speed and agility being a top priority. The Striker engines were initially a Jaguar 4.2 liter burning gasoline, and producing approximately 190 horsepower. Later in production the engines were replaced with a Cummings 5.9 liter diesel. Armor is aluminum instead of steel, for lighter weight and mobility, allowing a top speed of 50Mph with a range of 300 miles, and still providing protection from small arms fire and fragmentation. The striker first entered service in 1976 with the Royal Artillery Anti-tank Guided Missile Batteries, later being fielded by the British during Operation Iraqi Freedom, following Saddam Hussein’s ordered invasion of Kuwait.

EXCEPTIONALLY RARE & SOUGHT AFTER MODEL 1903

Lot #1046 (Sale Order 19 of 927)

SPRINGFIELD ROD BAYONET BOLT ACTION MILITARY RIFLE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. Cal. 30-03. Ser. #3987. Bbl. 24". In 1892 the United States adopted the Norwegian designed Krag-Jorgenson rifle. This rifle was a 5 shot repeater using the newly developed smokeless powder which was to replace the earlier single shot “trap door” rifle which used black powder. When the United States went to war with Spain in 1898, some basic deficiencies became apparent in the Krag design compared to the Mauser rifles used by Spain. The Mauser, using a stronger action with 2 front locking lugs, had a flatter-shooting, more powerful cartridge and was loaded by 5 round stripper clips allowing a higher rate of fire due to faster loading. The Krag rifle did not lend itself to further development which would correct these problems. The years immediately following the Spanish-American War saw a great deal of research to develop a replacement for the Krag rifle. The design selected was patterned after the Mauser Model 98 rifle using the earlier small ring receiver. This became the basis for the United States Magazine Rifle, Cal. 30, Model of 1903. This rifle featured the 2 locking lugs with a third safety lug, a 5-round magazine loaded with stripper clips, and firing a new rimless cartridge now referred to as the 30-03. This cartridge utilized the 220 grain bullet of the Krag cartridge but the velocity was increased from 2000 feet per second to 2300 feet per second resulting in a flatter trajectory. A prominent feature on this new rifle was the design of the bayonet. This was made as a rod .287" in diameter and 23-1/2" long carried in the forend underneath the barrel. This bayonet when fixed, extended 10" beyond the muzzle of the rifle. The rod bayonet, similar to that which had been used in the earlier 1884 “trap door” rifle, was not well liked and a change was reputedly made at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt to a knife bayonet. Both the Springfield and Rock Island Armories tooled up to produce this new rifle, however Rock Island produced parts but few completed rifles. Any completed rifles were apparently retained at Rock Island and converted to the later types. These well-made and finished rifles were actually produced in 1904 through early 1906. Records indicate that 76,689 rod bayonet rifles were produced at Springfield with an additional 18,000 rifles (parts only) produced at Rock Island. 72,844 of these rifles were converted to the 1905 type leaving approximately 3,800 rifles which apparently were not converted to the new type. Some authorities have indicated that rod bayonet rifles may have remained in service as late as WWI. This rifle has the later type tangent rear sight with 2 pins visible at the forward end. Sight is graduated to 2000 yards & equipped with the swing-up aperture similar to those used on the Krag Model 1902 rear sight. The blade front sight is mounted on a fixed base which has rear serrations and two distinctive lightning holes. The bayonet described earlier has three relief cuts at the tip which is not knurled. The rear of the bayonet is not threaded. The bolt which was given a bright finish has the numeral “1” underneath the handle. Bolt has gas port on underside. The extractor was finished with a “fire” blue. The safety is the improved type marked “SAFE” and “READY”. Cocking piece has two notches. Rifle was given the modification which does not allow rifle to fire if the trigger is pushed forward. The cutoff is polished bright on the underside. The front band has the correct flat on the stacking swivel. The lower band is the correct solid type. Smooth buttplate with trap; trap diameter is approximately .860. Matching walnut stock set with crisp markings. Boxed “JSA” inspector’s mark with “1904” date over trigger guard. Encircled script “P” proof and tiny numeral “2” under grip. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: one original 30-03 cartridge, head stamped “UMC” and “2 06”. Cartridge case measures 2.555"; overall length is 3.312". Black molded plastic carrying case. CONDITION: original finish stock set with light wear and scattered handling marks throughout commensurate with careful service. Lower band has been moved during past disassembly of rifle leaving an area of abraded finish on the top of the handguard extending forward approximately 1” and the bottom of forend has three scratches the longest of which is approximately 6". Metal retains a degree of original thinning blue finish with areas of oxidation and very fine pitting notable on receiver bridge, rear sight and base, trigger guard bow, and upper and lower bands.

EXTREMELY DESIREABLE U.S. SPRINGFIELD M1 "GAS

Lot #1099 (Sale Order 72 of 927)

TRAP" GARAND SEMI-AUTO MILITARY RIFLE. Cal. 30-06. Ser. # 46195. Barrel is 23-1/4" including gas trap with markings visible on the right side that include "M" and "P" punch mark proof. Throat gauges 1.0. Muzzle does not accept gauge due to gas trap assembly. "Flush nut" aperture rear sight with battle range elevation knob. Sight cover marked “B8872”. Blade front sight with protective ears. These rifles were the first production models of the iconic and widely used semi-automatic military rifle developed by John C. Garand, an Ordnance Design Engineer who worked at the Springfield Armory. Many different types of rifles were tested in this era to arrive at a design which would fulfill military requirements. Mr. Garand experimented with several diverse types of operation before settling on the gas system. The new rifle was adopted January 9, 1936 as U.S. Semi-Automatic Rifle, Cal. 30 M1. The new rifle became known by the name of its designer and is widely but unofficially known as the M1 Garand. This rifle made a valuable contribution to the Allied Victory in WWII; it also served through the Korean War and was widely distributed and served many more years in numerous nations’ forces around the world. Any newly developed design will have problems which need to be eliminated, and the gas trap system proved no exception. It quickly built up carbon deposits and could be difficult to clean. After approximately 47,000 rifles were manufactured, the new gas “port” system began to replace the gas “trap”. This system involved drilling a hole into the bore in order to access the expanding gases needed to operate the rifle. There is an overlap in Serial numbers between the two types as production was transitioned to the improved model. Gas trap rifles were rebuilt to the new system eliminating the gas trap parts, but the rebuilds were spread throughout the WWII years and photos show gas trap Garands being used in combat. These rifles are now highly desirable collectors’ items in their original configuration. Receiver P/N “D 28291-1”. Heat lot “REP6”. Operating rod is marked “D35382-1-SA”. One-piece unmarked follower rod assembly. Gas trap assembly is in the white and marked on top over barrel with P/N “D-28289-1”. It is the late type without the fluting on the sides.

The quality of work done on these rifles reflects the professionalism of these established arsenals.

Sight is graduated to 2,000 yards. Unmarked front sight blade measures approx. .250 above sight stud. Muzzle crown appears to be arsenal quality.

This collection of militaria, maps, and papers belonging to Major James Doolittle is wonderful opportunity to study a little known aspect of America's role in WW1.

Major Doolittle served in the training school at Headquarters and Training Center, Tractor Artillery No. 1, American Expeditionary Force. Mechanization of the military saw great advances during WW1 and great advantages were seen for the replacement of draft horses with motorized trucks and tractors. The tractors mentioned are rated in tons and include brands like Holt, Chalmers, Federal, and Reo. The papers also deal with the promotion of Captain Doolittle to the rank of Major on May 6th 1919 and his request to return home for business reasons as the war was over and by then Major Doolittle saw little reason for his retention in the Army.

EXTREMELY RARE & UNUSUAL SPRINGFIELD 22 HORNET

Lot #1179 (Sale Order 152 of 927)

BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 22 Hornet. S# 2. Bbl. 24". Barrel marked behind front sight "SA" "Flaming bomb" & "4-42". Barrel marked at bottom below chamber w/ "3" "REP" "3B" visible when removed from stock. Lyman 48 receiver aperture sight w/ sm. knobs. Slide graduated to 125 points. Aperture made w/o flip-up disk. Sight is equipped w/ large target type screw-in disk. Front sight is standard Springfield blade w/ moveable base. The 22 caliber rim fire rifles were developed at the Springfield Armory to allow marksmanship training & practice using lower cost ammunition which also was lower powered & allowed rifle ranges in buildings & in areas not suitable for the full powered ammunition. A few of these rifles were adapted to the then new 22 Hornet cartridge developed by Capt. Grove Watkyns. This development was also assisted by Capt. G.A. Woody of Springfield Armory & Armory Proof Assistant A.L. Woodworth. This work was accomplished using army facilities but was not an official government project. The effort was also in conjunction w/ work by noted firearms authority Col. Townsend Whelen & resulted in the successful & popular 22 Hornet cartridge. This rifle is constructed using a Springfield receiver marked "U.S. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY" & "No. 2". The number abbreviation is unusual as rifle number 3 as shown in photographs is marked w/ the digit only. The nicely blued receiver is made without the boss on the right side of the receiver ring. The receiver does, however, have a gas escape hole drilled in this location. The receiver has the overhanging bridge where the clip guides would be located on a Model 1903 receiver. The receiver is marked on the bottom behind the recoil lug w/ "X" & a tiny numeral "3". The forward end of the mag. well has a steel filler which is both soldered & pinned in place by two transverse cross pins to allow for the installation of a slanted sheet metal adapter for the internal flush magazine. The follower fits inside the adapter. The trigger guard is slotted at the forward end of the magazine well. The blued steel floorplate appears to be a standard issue. The bolt is marked on top of the swept handle "J5" but is otherwise unmarked. Bolt fitted w/ headless cocking piece. Safety functions in the standard manner. Safety markings do not have Serifs. Locking lug has scalloped profile made w/ lock but w/o head space adjustment. Forend has NRA Sporter-type milled band, & forend tip extends approximately 3" forward of barrel band. Stock is inletted for the receiver boss. Unmarked checkered walnut buttstock w/ pistol grip & two recoil bolts fitted w/ aluminum buttplate which was designed to be adjusted by changing the location of the screws. It is fitted w/ screws for one position only. Buttplate has transverse ribs instead of checkering. Standard Springfield rear swivel. Barrel band w/ front swivel. CONDITION: walnut stock has wear, staining & numerous scattered handling marks consistent w/ extensive use. Checkering has notable wear & flattening of diamonds throughout. Right side of forend has notable light stain in forward edge of checkering. Left side of forend tip has crack extending from bbl. band all the way forward. Receiver has 70% worn original blue finish. Parkerized bbl. retains lg. degree of original finish w/ light wear & several scattered spots of missing finish. Bolt head & part of bolt body are in the white w/ light spots of peppery oxidation. Balance of bolt has worn blue. Shiny bore w/ lightly worn lands. (22-3362/RW) MODERN. $4,000-6,000.

RARE & UNIQUE HEAVY BARREL TARGET RIFLE BASED ON

Lot #1180 (Sale Order 153 of 927)

THE SPRINGFIELD ARMORY OUTDOOR MATCH RIFLE USING THE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1922 M1 BOLT-ACTION. Cal. 22 LR. S# 11001. Bbl. 30". The success of the Model 1924 International Match Rifles made at Springfield Armory & referenced in the Springfield 1903 Rifles by Lt. Col. William S. Brophy generated a great deal of interest in these long heavy barrel match rifles. Consignor states that the Commandants at Springfield Armory had the authority to allow special order rifles to be made & sold to ordnance officers & other interested parties that wanted a custom made rifle to their own specifications. In some cases these officers actually did some of the work themselves. Springfield Armory personnel were also allowed to do custom work during their off hours at the standard rate of 25 cents per hour; the same price paid by ordnance officers. This would account for rifles not matching those referenced in standard publications. This would account for many variations due to individual preference in custom features. Unfortunately, over the years many of the records (including engineering books) at Springfield were discarded and we may never establish proof of origin for many of these guns. This action was an improved Model 1922 adopted in 1925 & was specifically mfg. for the 22 Long Rifle cartridge. Unmarked 30" bbl. (29-15/16" measured from the breech face) has the same dimensions as the International Match Model 1924. It measures 1-1/4" at receiver ring & measures 9/10" behind front sight band. Bbl. reduced to 3/4" to accommodate solid front band from Browning automatic rifle mounting on a Woodruff key. This was a standard practice used to assemble target rifles at Springfield Armory. Band has 3/8 dovetail to accommodate unmarked globe target sight. Lyman 48 receiver sight w/ early style target knobs. Flip up aperture. Slide is graduated to 125 points. Receiver & bbl. are not drilled & tapped for scope blocks. Bolt handle marked on top w/ partial “U” & “3”. Bolt has electro-penciled S# 6530. Headless cocking piece. Safety has block letters. Unmarked mag. cutoff polished bright. Double pull narrow smooth trigger. Parkerized floorplate marked on inside “C” & “4007”. Rifle bbl. & receiver witness marks are in 9 o’clock position on left side. Bbl. has additional witness mark at approximately 5 o’clock position on right side. Original blue finish has added black finish at trigger guard bow. Walnut target type stock w/ checkered pistol grip. Stock is equipped w/ aluminum hooked non-adj. buttplate mounted w/ a single screw. Butt swivel is standard milled service type. Front swivel installed on 5-1/8" x 3/4" blued steel plate. Swivel has 2 threaded positions approximately 1-1/2" apart. MAGS: 1-5rd. blued steel marked faintly in electro-pencil “6129” on both sides & “M1” on the left side. CONDITION: oil finished stock has nice appearance w/ sm. scattered handling marks. Stock inletting does not appear to be of arsenal quality. Inletting for rear sight has what appears to be bedding compound & additional sm. walnut filler piece. Toe of buttstock has been extended to match buttplate w/ approx. 1-1/4" long walnut filler. Buttplate shows fine sanding marks around edges. Action has been lightly polished w/ areas of thinning, flaking & spots of light oxidation but retains traces of blue finish. Bbl. finish has wear & handling marks w/ notably more blue on the top half of the barrel. Mag. catch does not engage when mag. is inserted into rifle. Bore is shiny w/ sharp rifling, turning dark approx. 1" ahead of the chamber. (22-2294/RW). MODERN. $3,500-5,000.

ORIGINAL GUIDE LAMP LIBERATOR PISTOL.

Lot #1367 (Sale Order 341 of 927)

Cal. 45 ACP. NSN. Bbl. 2 1/2”. A historic reflection of Yankee ingenuity that was once only spoken of in the spy manuals. The Liberator pistol was covertly mfg. over a 10-11 week period in 1942 by the Guide Lamp division of General Motors. This single shot, last ditch effort, tool of resistance was crudely made from spot welded sheet metal to supply friendly forces behind enemy lines as a means to defend one’s self & acquire proper arms to continue the fight. These were made entirely w/ function emphasized over form. Crude sights, no rifling, not even finish, was part of the final product nor would it prove to be necessary. The loading/firing sequence of the Liberator was simple & straight forward; pull back & rotate the striker assembly 90 degrees either direction, lift the loading gate which doubled as a crude rear sight & insert the 45 ACP rd., close the loading gate, pull back the striker & rotate into firing position & it was ready to go. Upon squeezing the trigger the striker would be forced to the rear before slamming forward, initiating firing. This sequence could be repeated as necessary, but longevity & repetition were never a high priority. Though it was originally designed w/ the European theatre in mind, most examples ended up being dropped in China & the Phillipines. CONDITION: this particular example still retains the removable floorplate. Has scattered moderate patina. Appears to function properly when cycled by hand. You can see a Liberator being fired in Jeff Zimba's informative video on our website. (22-4335/JZ). CURIO. $800-1,200.

PHENOMENAL FACTORY ENGRAVED, WALTHER PPK, HIMMLER

Lot #1427 (Sale Order 401 of 927)

PHENOMENAL FACTORY ENGRAVED, WALTHER PPK, HIMMLER

SIGNATURE PRESENTATION.

PLEASE NOTE: Since our posting, we received new and clarifying information. The consigner states that the pistol was given to him by his father who brought it back as a WWII souvenir. At the time it was coated with a paint that was stripped, leaving the pistol with an unsightly mottled salt blue that was subsequently removed, traces still apparent around the front sight, hammer, and in the magazine well. The pistol was manufactured in early 1942 even though the slide inscription cites 1943. Careful comparison to other engraved Walther PPKs shows some unique differences from the other known examples considering that this is a one-of-a-kind pistol, personally reviewed with provided letters by noted author James Rankin.

***Due to the unusual nature of this rare PPK and the unique differences from some of the other known examples, this item will not be covered by Poulin’s guarantee and is being offered “as is”. The responsibility must be assumed by the buyer and his/her agent.

Cal. 7.65mm. S# 318750K. This extraordinary, highly ornate PPK is just one of 3 presentation pistols known to have this level of embellishment w/ a dated signature. First is in the Rankin book, pictured on pages 39, 40 and 53. The other was sold by a major auction house in 2013. This pistol is has the same inscription, except the date, engraved by the same hand. The left crest of the slide, above the Walther banner, inscribed "DEM TAPFEREN! VOM REICHSFUHRER." (To the Valiant, from the Leader H. Himmler) / 1943 / "H. HIMMLER" On the right side of the slide is a shield surrounding a symbol w/ 2 pillars resting on a base, reportedly the insignia used by the SS division during the battle of Kursh. The full S# is in the usual location on the right side of the frame. On the front strap is a scriptic "K" within a vertical oval. Virtually all other surfaces have been deeply engraved w/ an oak leaf and acorn pattern. The frame boss within the ejection port has a cross hatched pattern surrounding the eagle "N", the same pattern repeated on each side of the upper trigger guard web. At the rear of the matching slide is the loaded chamber indicator. Although the gun was likely originally fitted w/ white grips, this example has standard pattern brown mottled grips, right side having a circular ivory colored inlay. An undated but signed letter from Walther authority, James Rankin referenced the insignia on the right side of the slide & and felt that this gun was a presentation from H. Himmler to Walter Kruger, General dur Waffen SS, Kruger being a Knight's Cross holder and an SS Panzer General. In 1943 Kruger was commander of Das Reich. "The date on the pistol (1943) along w/ the special Das Reich insignia for the Kurch battle would seem to confirm the engraved "K" stands for Kruger, the Waffen SS General and Commander of Das Reich during that period." Rankin’s estimate of this pistol was $100,000-150,000. MAGS: Primary mag has a blued housing and a detachable floorplate w/ complimentary engraving. Spare standard blued mag, marked w/ Walther banner, is in the pouch. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanied by a standard brown military era holster, an SS tie pin affixed on the closure strap.

Primary & secondary mags are commensurate with the condition of the pistol. While the holster more worn it has supple leather & intact stitching. (22-2877/LMA). CURIO. $75,000-125,000.

MAUSER / NICKL MODEL 1916 / 22 PROTOTYPE SEMI-AUTO

Lot #1437 (Sale Order 411 of 927)

PISTOL. Cal. 9mm Kurz (380 ACP). S# 21. Bbl. 91mm (3.6"). Josef Nickl designed prototype, manufactured 1920-1922. Nickl worked in the design department of Mauser under Paul Mauser. Nickl was intrigued by the Steyr design that used a rotary bbl., so he proceeded to design a pistol that would use the Mauser 1910 frame. The engineers at Mauser rejected his design but he convinced the sales department to manufacture a few dozen for commercial sales that never succeeded. The pistol was offered in a variety of calibers, most common survivor is the 9mm Browning Short variation. Nickl sold his idea to the Czechs who were looking for a military handgun. CZ adapted it to be the CZ 22 produced 1923 only. Improvements by CZ were allowed by Nickl and became the well known Models 24 and 27 while earning royalties on the original design for Nickl. This pistol has a large "N" next to the takedown catch along with Mauser Banner and markings on its sideplate. Hammer spur and cocking notches are reminiscent of the CZ pistols.

ROSS M10 SNIPER STRAIGHT PULL RIFLE.

Lot #1464 (Sale Order 438 of 927)

Cal. 303 Brit. S# 343. Bbl. 31". The Canadian Ross M1910/MK3 straight pull rifle is widely regarded as one of the worst infantry rifles of all time. The rifles had tremendous jamming problems in the trenches of France during the Great War, especially when fired rapidly. The other major shortcoming of the Ross M10, was that the bolt could be reassembled improperly by a soldier. When an improperly reassembled bolt was inserted to a rifle & fired the bolt had the potential to blow back in the shooters face causing serious injury or even death. Because of these shortcomings the rifle was gradually replaced by the British Lee Enfield as a general issue rifle for the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the Great War. The Ross however had one major advantage over other rifles of the period, its long range accuracy. Because of this the rifle would be favored by Canadian snipers during the Great War. Herbert McBride, an American who fought w/ the CEF in France, famously used a Ross M10 to great effect against the Germans. McBride was the author of the well-known book "A Rifleman Went to War" & "The Emma Gees". This rifle appears to be an assembled piece w/ an American contract M1913 Warner & Swasey Scope but it would make a good stand-in given genuine Ross sniper rifles rarity. The scope has a rubber eyepiece, a top mounted data plate & is graduated to 3000yds. Scope has a fine crosshair reticle & the optics are dirty. Scope base is marked "S.E.A.D" & " left side of receiver is marked "343". Ladder rear sight graduated to 1200yds. Blade front sight w/ hood.

CONDITION: lightly refinished walnut stock set w/ four rivets on rear of handguard & some handling marks. Bolt retains traces of case colors. Balance of metal retains 85% original blue w/ some high edge wear & scattered light silvering. Very good bore. (22-2325/MJC). CURIO. $3,000-5,000.

In 1947 the Department of the Army, seeing the Cold War brewing, decided to alter the Army’s mission in Germany to one of defense converted some Constabulary units to field artillery under the umbrella of the 7732nd Filed Artillery Group. This would consist of four field artillery battalions; 70th, 74th, 91st and 94th. The 70th Field Artillery Battalion formed with personnel from the 15th Constabulary Squadron as its core in mid-December 1948.

The unit was equipped with 105 Millimeter howitzers which were towed by trucks. Each battalion was assigned as support to other combat arms units. In the case of the 70th Field Artillery, they supported the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. In 1951 the battalion was redesignated as the 70th Armored Field Artillery Battalion and in 1952 were re-equipped with self-propelled 105 Millimeter howitzers.

However, in April 1942, the designation was again changed after some reorganization to the 1st Battalion, 31st Engineers (Combat) and then in August it was reflagged as the 31st Engineer Combat Regiment. In March 1943, the regiment was broken up with its component units being redesignated as: 1st Battalion becoming the 31st Combat Engineer Battalion; the Headquarters and Headquarters and Headquarters and Service company as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1114th Engineer Combat Group; and the 2nd Battalion became the 241st Engineer Combat Battalion.

In October, the unit was sent to Fort Jackson in South Carolina for its new home post becoming part of the Second Army, XXIII Corps. Finally, in May 1945, the unit was sent to Boston for shipment to Europe but with the notice of German surrender those orders were canceled. Instead, the battalion was sent to San Francisco for shipment to the Pacific Theater leaving there in late June 1945 and arriving at Manila in the Philippines in late July.

7TH ARTILLERY BATTALION COLORS.

Lot #1654 (Sale Order 629 of 927)

3’ x 4’ double applique embroidered on red field. The 7th had long history being descended from both the 7th Coast and 7th Field Artillery Regiments. The 7th Field Artillery was organized in Texas at Fort Sam Houston while the 7th Coast Artillery was formed in 1898 at Fort Slocum in New York from what had been Battery A, 7th Artillery Regiment. The 7th US Artillery Regiment had distinguished WWI history but would not be designated as "7th Artillery Battalion" until Oct. 1940 as part of the 1st Infantry Division. In June 1942, the battalion staged at Indian Town Gap, Pennsylvania for shipment to Europe. In August 1942, the 1st Infantry Division sailed for Scotland. In October 1942, the division sailed for the invasion of Algeria in North Africa landing near Oran and taking part in the capture of that town. Its commanding officer, Lt. Colonel Leroy Davis, was killed by a German land mine while on a recon mission. The battalion would take part in the major battles of North Africa from Kasserine Pass through the capture of Tunis in May 1943. After a short rest, the division and 7th Artillery took part in the invasion of Sicily. During this campaign the battalion used its guns in direct fire mode to stop a German armor attack. After Sicily was captured, the Allies were to invade Italy but the 1st Infantry Division was destined for other things and pulled into reserve and shipped to England arriving in November 1943. While tis time in England had its moments of joy and fun, the division also entered a tough training cycle in preparation for the invasion of France. They also received new equipment during this time. Seven months later, on June 2nd, 1944, the division boarded transports to sail for Normandy where on June 6th, D-Day, they landed at Omaha Beach. After taking heavy casualties, the division finally cracked the German beach defenses and moved inland. The 7th Battalion’s guns were soon landed and forward observers moved out with the infantry to call in fire support missions. The 7th Battalion moved out in front of their assigned infantry regiment (16th Infantry) due to confusion where they faced the possibility of a German tank attack. They soon pulled back to proper positions. After the bloody fighting in Normandy, the Americans finally broke the German line near St. Lo and moved into the interior of France with George Patton’s Third Army spearheading the advance. The 7th Battalion came under German artillery fire as well as air attacks causing some unit casualties. A sizeable portion of German troops were captured at Falaise as the Allies roared across the French countryside driving the German Army remnants back towards Germany. Paris was liberated and the Seine River crossed in mass as Allied tanks raced to the German border. By September 11, the 7th Battalion was in Belgium and a few days later opened fire on Germany itself. German resistance got tougher as new units were rushed to the front and the Allies confronted the German West Wall (dubbed the Siegfried Line). Fierce and bloody fighting involving the 1st Division took place at Aachen and the Hurtgen Forest. On December 10, 1944, the battalion was taken off the line for rest but would not have that long to relax. On the 16th, the Germans launched a massive counter-offensive in the Ardennes, soon to be known as the Battle of the Bulge. The 1st Division was part of the American reinforcements sent to stop the German attack and they took their place in the line on the north shoulder of the German attack. Poor weather hampered the ability of the forward observers to call in artillery on German targets but the weather broke after Christmas Day. By the end of January 1945, the 1st Division was back to its former positions and ready for the offensive deep into Germany. In March, the Allied offensive to get to and cross the Rhine River began with the 7th Artillery firing 1000 rounds per day on average. The division remained in Germany for several years after the war. Finally, in July 1955, the battalion sailed for the United States and its new post at Fort Riley, Kansas where the 1st Division remains today. On June 20, 1964, the unit was redesignated as the 1st Battalion, 7th Artillery Regiment. The 7th Artillery’s flag is scarlet, the traditional color for American artillery units since the Corps of Artillery of the Continental Army was formed in 1777. CONDITION: fine overall.

The division conducted various training exercises during the inter-war era but was never filled to listed roster. In 1940, Congress Federalized 18 National Guard divisions including the 32nd Division. When The United States entered World War two, the division spent 16 months training in Louisiana and other sites until shipped to the Pacific. The division arrived in Australia in May 1942. By September they were deployed to New Guinea for the campaign to remove Japanese troops from that area. Their service there concluded with the taking of Buna. I March 1943, the division as back in Australia for refitting and more training. In January 1944, the division took part in the liberation of western New Guinea for taking part in the campaign to liberate the Philippines landing on Leyte in November 1944. In January 1945, the division landed on Luzon where four members would earn the Medal of Honor (out of the eleven issued to the division). With the end of the war in September 1945, the division posted to Japan for occupation duty, returning home in February 1946 after being deactivated. No other U.S. Army division had been in constant combat as had the 32nd Infantry Division.

52ND FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION COLORS.

Lot #1656 (Sale Order 631 of 927)

3’ x 4’ double applique embroidered on red field, motto: “HABILE ET PRET”, “able & ready” with crest on eagles’ breast, circa 1950s. Unit had its beginnings as the 7th Provisional Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps in July 1917 in Rhode Island. The regiment consisted of units from the New York area for coastal defense. In August, the unit moved to France and were redesignated as the 52nd Artillery (Coast Artillery Corps) where they manned heavy railway guns. After World War One, the unit returned to America and a new posting at Fort Eustis in Virginia in January 1919. In August 1921, the regiment was reorganized with three battalions each having special pieces of heavy artillery from 8 Inch guns to 12 Inch mortars and guns. In July 1924, the unit was redesignated as the 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment. During the 1930s its component batteries were split between various posts. In October 1933, the 52nd Field Artillery stood up as part of the Regular Army. Some batteries were deactivated in the late 1930s but with the war clouds of Europe gathering, these were reactivated in 1940. Some of its batteries were sent to defend the Canadian coast and reflagged as another artillery unit while others were sent to reinforce coastal batteries in Hawaii. Still others were sent to Washington, California and New Jersey to man heavy guns protecting American harbors. In May 1943, the 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment was broken up with its three battalions being designated at other coast artillery battalions (286th, 287th and 288th). These remained at posts long the East Coast until war’s end with some levels of deactivation beforehand. In June 1950, the 52nd Coast Artillery was reconstituted in the Regular Army as the 52nd Field Artillery Group. In January 1952, the full group was activated at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, home of the U.S. Army artillery today. In late June 1971, the unit was deactivated. (02-17547-21/JS) $600-800.

RARE ATOMIC BOMB ASSOCIATED 8460TH SPECIAL WEAPONS

Lot #1658 (Sale Order 633 of 927)

GROUP FLAG. 3’ x 4’ double applique embroidered on sky blue field, circa 1948. This unit is tied in with atomic weapons under the auspices of the U.S. Army. Major General Leslie Groves, who commanded the Manhattan Project under which the United States developed atomic weapons including the two dropped on Japan in August 1945, was retained in command of post-war nuclear weapons development and safe storage. With the world still a hostile place and the massive demobilization of U.S. armed forces after the war, Groves still believed that having the most atomic weapons would help keep world peace as did some members of the Truman Administration. Yet, many of the scientists that helped develop the bombs returned to civilian pursuits and the nation only retained a handful of core components from which to make new weapons. This changed in 1946 when Groves sent a staff officer to Sandia, New Mexico to survey a site where these weapons could be built and from which they could be tested. Sandia had been an older Army Air Force base but Groves took it over and reached out for dozens of officers with engineering degrees to help build the new bombs. The complexities of building such weapons, it was believed, was far above the abilities of these officers to handle. Colonel Gilbert Dorland, the officer sent by Groves, created the 2761st Engineer Battalion (Special) in August 1946. Instead of having each officer be an expert on all aspects of assembly, Dorland formed them into electrical, mechanical, and nuclear teams. With assistance from technicians from the Los Alamos Laboratory’s Ordnance Division, the officers learned their specialties. By year’s end they had loaded one aboard a B-29. This decentralized manner in working on the bomb’s components, Dorland’s officers completed the entire task in hours compared to the two days it had taken on Tinian to build the “Fat Man” bomb in 1945. In May 1947, the unit was redesignated as the 38th Engineer Battalion (Special) and they were tasked with making several atomic bombs as soon as possible and so senior enlisted were added to the unit and trained in bomb production. By mid-1947, six of these weapons had been assembled and were ready for simulated testing which would prove (or not) the ability to make weapons at overseas bases if needed. To test an inert bomb, the 509th Bombardment Group of the 8th U.S. Air Force, was brought in to handle the delivery. In November, the bomb test by a B-29 of this command dropped its test bomb at Inyokern, California, a naval testing center. The test was a huge success. Officers of the command soon assisted the Navy in configuring some of its aircraft carriers for atomic operations as well as advising the British Royal Air Force in the same manner. In 1948 the three atomic tests at Eniwetok Island in the Pacific were begun with the Atomic Energy Commission using some of the officers and men from the special battalion. Schools had now been set up to train even more personnel in bomb assembly. In the aftermath of these tests, Col. Dorland began field exercises lasting well into 1949 and added more trained men to his command through the Training Division established at Sandia Base for this purpose. This base would be greatly expanded during this time frame. Soon Dorland had enough so that four Army Special Weapons Units (111th, 122nd, 133rd and 144th) could be formed. The Navy even had its own unit of trained officers and men as did the Air Force. The Air Force’s 502d and 508th Aviation Squadrons were activated in September 1948 to handle airborne testing. Dorland’s command was now truly a combined services operation and on December 22nd, the command was redesignated as the 8460th Special Weapons Group. The group itself only had 21 officers but under its control were these subordinate units: 471st Navy Special Weapons Unit; the two Air Force squadrons already mentioned and the 1140th Special Reporting Wing, Detachment B. The operations at Sandia and subordinate sites were merged with Kirtland Air Force Base near Albuquerque in 1971. The base remains the home Air Force Material Command’s Nuclear Weapons Center which continues the mission begun at Sandia Base in the 1940s. The unique flag does not seem to have a historical color basis. The central device was also the unit patch for personnel attached to it and represents the splitting of the atom for nuclear energy. CONDITION: very good overall. (02-17547-24/JS). $600-800.

93RD SIGNAL BRIGADE (CORPS) FLAG.

Lot #1659 (Sale Order 634 of 927)

3’ x 4’ double applique cotton, orange field, the color for signal units of the Army since 1872. The designation is on white which is also a Signal Corps additional color. The central device is a variant of their brigade crest and features a red lightning bolt (which is white on the crest) and lit torch within a white multi-point star on blue background which is the background on the crest. The U.S. Army Signal Corps was established in 1860 prior to the Civil War. Within that conflict they were tasked with communications management via telegraph and wig-wag signal flags created especially for that purpose (a system created in 1856). Codes were created to make communications by both manners classified and code books devised and distributed to units. After the war, the Signal Corps remained active in Army campaigns expanding their communications capabilities to carrier pigeons, telephones and later radios but the signal flags were still used at times. Intelligence and counter-intelligence gathering was part of their mission profile and what would become the National Weather Service was sprung from the Corps in 1870. The branch is a key component of Army operations today with satellite uplink technology, computers and more. The brigade originally formed as the 93d Signal Battalion in November 1941. The unit was activated in May 1942 at Camp Crowder, Missouri. Sent to Europe during World War Two, they served in the campaign in France ending with the surrender of Germany. They battalion was deactivated in January 1946 at Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia as part of the draw down of the U.S. military. However, in February 1955 the unit was reactivated at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Sent again to Europe, the battalion, less one company, was deactivated in September 1972 in Germany. In March 1981, the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 93d Signal Battalion was redesignated as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 93d Signal Brigade, and then again deactivated in Germany in December 1991. In February 1988, the brigade was again reactivated this time at Fort Gordon, Georgia where they would remain until deactivated once more in April 2007. In July 2007, the unit was again reactivated, this time at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The brigade would serve in the Middle East during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Component members of the brigade, past and current, include the 67th Signal Battalion (Reflagged as part of the 35th Signal Brigade); 63rd Signal Battalion (also later reflagged as part of the 35th Signal Brigade); the 56th Signal Battalion (later reflagged as part of the 21st Signal Brigade); 26th Signal Battalion; 51st Signal Battalion and the 34th Signal Battalion, all posted to Germany.

1ST CORPS, US ARMY FLAG.

Lot #1660 (Sale Order 635 of 927)

3’ x 4’ blue over white with central blue circle with white/navy fimbration. The 1st Army Corps was formally activated in January 1918 in France following the American Declaration of War against Germany in 1917. Upon formation, Major General Hunter Liggett assumed command. First Corps at the time consisted of the 1st, 2nd, 26th, 32nd, 41st and 42nd Infantry Divisions. Several other Army divisions as well as three French divisions would fall under its command during the war. After training with the French Army, the First Corps was soon in battle helping to stop the German offensive at Chateau-Thierry. In July 1918, First Corps began its own offensive in the Second battle of the Marne before assuming a defensive position. In early September, First Corps again attacked the Germans at St. Mihiel which eliminated the German defensive salient. After resting, the corps helped spearhead the Meuse-Argonne Offensive from late September until the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918 ending World War One. The corps remained in France until late March 1919 when it was deactivated. In July 1921, First Corps became part of the Army’s Organized Reserve and assigned to the First Army. Assigned to a base near Boston, the corps remained in effect until 1927 wen it was demobilized again. On the same day that First Corps was deactivated, Twentieth Corps was added to the Regular Army but by mid-October, the designation was changed to First Corps. The command remained inactive, however, until November 1940 when it was reactivated in Columbia, South Carolina. Raised and filled to combat status in July 1942, the corps was deployed to Australia and would assist the defense of British New Guinea. Its two divisions, the 32nd Infantry and 41st Infantry, began an offensive to push back the Japanese defenders with the help of Australian troops crossing over the Owen Stanley Mountains. New Guinea was secured in January 1943 and the corps earned a Distinguished Unit Citation. From February 1943 until March 1944 undertook training of newly arrived American and Allied troops while itself preparing for its next operation. In mid-April, the corps (now the 24th and 41st Infantry Divisions) landed on Dutch New Guinea at Hollandia. In June, the Japanese Army units there were defeated as well as in a subsequent operation at Biak, which was secured later in the month. Now the springboard for the upcoming invasion of the Philippines was established. For that invasion, First Corps was part of 6th U.S. Army and laned on Luzon on January 9th, 1945. The corps cut across the island isolating the Japanese units defending it from each other. Soon Manila was recaptured and the Japanese on Luzon annihilated. The corps and other troops rested and began preparations for Operation Downfall, the invasion of the Japanese mainland at Kyushu. First Corps was assigned as one of the first elements of Sixth Army to land in Japan. Thankfully, the atomic bombing of Japan ended the war. In September 1945, the corps became part of the Allied troops occupying Japan and disarming elements of the Japanese military. By 1948 this was accomplished and First Corps was deactivated on March 28, 1950. Peace did not last long in Asia and North Korea invaded the south which led to the reactivation of First Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in early August. Deployed to South Korea, the corps along with other U.N. troops held the Pusan Perimeter later in September. Crossing into North Korea, elements of the corps captured its capital of Pyongyang. Chinese intervention soon had the U.N. forces pushed back south bit a series of counterattacks stabilized the line which remained static until an armistice was worked out in 1953. First Corps troops defended a series of positions that became famous during this time including Pork Chop Hill. First Corps would remain in South Korea until 1972. In October 1981, First Corps was reactivated at Fort Lewis in Washington, now Joint Base Lewis-McCord. It remains at this post today with a focus on the Pacific area. This flag has been the banner of First Corps since its initial activation in 1918. The proper manner of displaying the flag is with the blue bar on the top. The central device is also the shoulder patch of First Corps. CONDITION: very good. (02-17547-31/JS). $600-800.

3’ x 4’ double applique embroidered on red field with gold fringe, unit crest, circa WW2. This regiment has a long lineage dating back to 1840 when it first formed as a Pennsylvania infantry company in the 1st Volunteer Regiment with the nickname National Guards. In October 1916, the regiment was converted to artillery and were redesignated as the 2nd Filed Artillery, Pennsylvania National Guard. The American entry into World War One brought the unit back into federal service but under the designation of the 108th Field Artillery Regiment as of July 1917. They trained in Georgia and became part of the 53rd Filed Artillery Brigade and attached to the 28th Division. In April 1918, the unit was posted to a new camp and in may were sent to England arriving there on May 31, 1918. They were soon sent to France where they received French 155 Millimeter cannons on which they trained for a couple months. After completing this training, they joined with the 28th Division in combat operations in August 1918. While most of their combat time was with the 28th Division, the 108th Artillery also supported the 82nd Division during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. 108th received its unit crest in 1926. With the war clouds gathering once more in Europe, the unit was called back into active service for a year in February 1941. That temporary service became much longer with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into the war. In 1942 the unit changed somewhat. The Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 108th Field Artillery became Headquarters and Headquarters Battery 193rd Field Artillery Group. 1st Battalion 108th Filed Artillery became the 193rd Field Artillery Battalion and 2nd Battalion became the new 108th Field Artillery Battalion. Once again part of the 28th Infantry Division (basically a Pennsylvania National Guard command), the 108th Field Artillery used 155 Millimeter howitzers as they fought from Normandy across France to the borders of the German Reich where they and the 28th Division became heavily engaged in the Hurtgen Forest where the division suffered heavy casualties. After being pulled from the line to rest and receive replacements, the division was sent to what was known as a “quiet sector” of the line along the Our River in the Ardennes. On December 16th, it was anything but quiet when three German armies launched the Battle of the Bulge offensive. The 108th Field Artillery were supporting the 109th Infantry Regiment, one of three maneuver regiments of the 28th Division on the southern end of the Our River line. German units bypassed American strongpoints and were soon rampaging in the American rear and attacking the artillery where the gunners picked up their rifles and fought as infantry. Battery A of the 108th along with battery A of the 107th Field Artillery came under German attack the next day stopping the Germans cold after fierce fighting. However, with their flanks turned the guns could no longer stay in place and so the unit pulled back. This was one of the times of heaviest fighting for the gunners in the war. Back home after the end of the war the 108th Field Artillery Battalion was reorganized with elements of the 108th Battalion and HHB 193rd FA Group in November 1946. Their flag is red which has been the traditional color of Army artillery since the later 1700s. The flag is unique in that within the chest of the eagle there is no spot for the location of the unit’s crest; rather it is filled in with feathers. The crest is instead placed above the eagle’s head. CONDITION: good-very good overall, several holes and separations along top edge field, fringe is discolored to greenish tint.

With that mission accomplished, the battalion landed at Salerno in Italy in September taking part in the offensive to conquer Italy and drive them from the war. Pulled from that front, the battalion was attached to the 3rd Infantry Division and made ready for the invasion of Southern France which took place in mid-August 1944. Driving north along the Rhone River valley, the U.S. Seventh Army linked up near Strasbourg with Allied units that had come across France from Normandy. The battalion took part in the heavy fighting eliminating the Colmar Pocket before resting for operations to cross the Rhine River into Germany. This took place on March 26, 1945 and the battalion with its division, drove into Austria when they ended the war in May. Two members of the battalion were awarded the Medal of Honor. In 1948 73rd was reactivated again and in January 1949 it was redesignated as the 73rd Heavy Tank Battalion (armor flags would be green instead of yellow after abolishment of cavalry February 21, 1947). With the coming of the Korean War in 1950, the battalion was shipped to South Korea to help repel the North Korean attack and take part in the U.N. counter-offensive that drove the North Koreans out before settling into a static front until 1953 when an armistice ended the fighting.

WW2 ERA US MARINE CORPS DETACHMENT, BATTLESHIP

Lot #1668 (Sale Order 643 of 927)

USS MISSOURI. 22” x 28”, could have been on board during the surrender ceremony with Japan. Larger ships of the U.S. Navy had Marine detachments on them from cruisers up to aircraft carriers. The U.S.S. Missouri (BB-63) was an Iowa class battleship from WW2, arguably the most famous of the four ships of this class. On her decks, in Tokyo Bay, was the surrender of Imperial Japan on September 2, 1945 which ended World War Two across the globe. The U.S. S. Missouri was launched on January 29, 1944 and entered active service later in the year. The “Mighty Mo” was the final battleship built for the Navy. She has been removed from active service a few times during her career being brought back into action for the Korean War and then again in the 1980s where she was modernized and had upgraded electronics. Her last combat action was in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. She was decommissioned for the last time in 1992 but was not removed from the Naval Register until 1995. She is now a permanent museum ship at the U.S. Navy Base of Pearl Harbor. During her active career she carried a Marine Detachment as per Navy/Marine practice. The MarDet was typically from 35 to 85 Marines and they protected the ship’s captain, operated the brig, sometimes manned guns (in particular anti-aircraft guns), performed ceremonial duties and protected nuclear weapons if the ship carried any. Over time, as the Marine Corps sought to put more men into the Fleet Marine Forces, Marines on larger warships were drawn down. In 1998 the over 200 year practice of operating on U.S. warships was ended when the MarDet of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George Washington came ashore for the last time. This guidon is for one of the Marine detachments that served on the “Mighty Mo” at some time in her long career while she was in active service, 1944-1955. (02-17547-45/JS). $600-800.

COMMEMORATIVE CIVIL WAR 2ND CORPS DESIGNATING FLAG

Lot #1670 (Sale Order 645 of 927)

54” x 70” bunting, triangular white field, blue trefoil, red stripe hoist. In 1862, Union General George McClellan developed a system of corps, division, brigade and regimental designating flags to mark unit headquarters both on the battlefield and off. Sadly, the system was far too complicated and by 1863 it was replaced by a much better and easier system of flags proposed by General Daniel Butterfield beginning in February. While not of the Civil War period, this flag is an example of a Butterfield designed designating flag. The central device is a trefoil. This flag represents the 3rd Brigade of the Second Division of the U.S. Second Corps, Army of the Potomac. The corps was created on March 3, 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln and announced officially via General Order No. 101 on March 13th. It served the Army of the Potomac in most of the famous battles of the Eastern Theater from 1862 into 1865 when it was disbanded on June 28, 1865 via General Order No. 35. Some of the most famous regiments and brigades of this army served in the Second Corps. The flag of the Third Division, Second Corps, was white with a blue trefoil in the center. Each of the brigade flags were also white with the trefoil also being blue of which there were four. The First Brigade’s flag was all white; Second Brigade added a red bar along the hoist edge; Third Brigade had a red bar around the exterior of the flag and the Fourth Brigade added red colored corners. The Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of American History holds a number of actual Union Army designating flags plus a number of those made after the war probably for commemorative purposes.

What would become the Army Transport Service had its beginnings in the Quartermaster Corps. The service would remain under the auspices of the Quartermaster Corps until 1943 when it was spun off into its own branch. The Transportation Corps supervised the shipping of Army personnel and supplies overseas which began during the Spanish American War of the late 1890s. patents were issued William F. Costen for the design and making of seven flags for Army transports. These flags were patented in August 1899. Mr. Costen reported their description at the time, "Opposite corners, the upper one the nearer to the staff, are right-angled triangles of red and blue respectively, and the remainder, a diagonal strip between the triangles, is white. In the white field is a wheel crossed by a sword and a key and surmounted by an eagle. Thirteen stars adorn the rim of the wheel, and the letters “U.S.A.T.S." encircle the design." The aforementioned “wheel” was blue as were the letters. Costen’s design would serve through 1943 with some minor alterations (dropping the lettering). Small variants of this flag, in pennant shape, were used on smaller boats, harbor craft and on the vehicles of Motor Transport units. From 1943 onward, the central device was altered to a red with the wheel being changed to one that would appear on the bridge of a ship (with handles). The stars therein were removed. Inside the wheel was a central device of a tire bearing wings, which were in white. This change took place when the Transportation Service was spun off into its own entity. This flag was only in service till 1943 and is a boat flag, its single use on a ship. The flag is flown from sunrise to sunset on the forwardmost mast, or on the outboard halyard of the port yardarm if there is a single mast. Shipboard courtesies and customs, including the use of flags, are laid down for Army vessels in Field Manual 55-501, Marine Crewman's Handbook. CONDITION: fine overall (02-17547-49/JS). $600-800.

These flags were first introduced in 1900 and are, seemingly, still part of the flags of the U.S. Navy in their flags book. The purpose of this flag was to warn friendly warships that a submarine was in operation nearby. This flag is marked “Submarine Warning No. 4: and “Mare Island July 1942.” notation of the shipyard and date tells us that U.S. Navy yards, as they have been doing since the early 19th Century, were tasked with making their own flags for ships and the date on this flag tells us when it was manufactured. Mare Island, now closed as of 1996, was first surveyed in 1849. The site was selected in 1852 and the land purchased by the Navy in 1853. Mare Island was the first U.S. Navy shipyard on the West Coast. In 1854, the yard began building ships in September 1854 under the command of future Admiral David Farragut, of Civil War fame.

386TH INFANTRY REGIMENT FLAG.

Lot #1678 (Sale Order 653 of 927)

6’ x 6’ silk embroidered, crest in eagle’s shield of moose head and motto “NIA NATAHMI” which is Delaware Indian language “We are the First” This regiment was a component of the 97th Infantry Division. The division initially formed in the early fall of 1918 for deployment to Europe. The unit began training in New Mexico becoming activated on September 5th. Soon moving to South Carolina for more training with additional units and manpower to be added (the plan being men from New England for the most part) including some 5000 troops from Oklahoma and Minnesota, but an overall lack of sufficient manpower slowed its training track. Then, in October 1918, the Flu Pandemic struck the division sickening some 500 men of whom 100 died. The flu having run its course, the division was then pre-empted by the armistice of November 11, 1918 ending World War 1. The nascent division demobilized on December 22nd. On June 24, 1921, the division was placed into the Organized Reserve and assigned to the states of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, about the date of this flag’s manufacture. World War 2 and the massive expansion of the U.S Army brought the 97th Infantry Division back into existence on February 25, 1943 at its training camp in Texas. The Army was creating units faster then they could be filled with men and often units already existing were stripped of men who were shipped to other commands. This was the case with the 97th Infantry Division which absorbed a large cadre of men from the 95th Infantry Division. In February 1944, the division moved to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri for further training but they would lose at least 5000 men for shipment to other divisions as combat replacements thus delaying its eventual deployment. Sent to California to receive amphibious training and eventual deployment to the Pacific Theater in July 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower, concerned abut the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge and the large combat losses incurred in that campaign, asked for two more divisions above what was already allocated. The 97th Infantry Division ended up going to Europe instead arriving in France in early March 1945. The division moved to the Rhine River area crossing it and taking part in the reduction of the Ruhr pocket engaging in heavy fighting at a German castle with well dug in defenders. A member of the 386th Infantry Regiment, PFC Joe R. Hastings, was posthumously awarded a Medal of Honor for his actions as the regiment attacked a German town on April 12th. Men of the 97th Division soon liberated an Allied POW camp freeing over 800 men. The division also helped liberate two concentration camps. By the end of April 1945, the division, covering the left flank of Patton’s Third Army, had moved deep into Czechoslovakia when orders for a general cease fire came on May 7th. The division is credited to firing the last shot of World War 2 in Europe by the U.S. Army when PFC Dominic Mozetta shot a German sniper shortly before midnight on May 6th. The 386th Infantry Regiment took part in all of the engagements of the 97th Infantry Division. The division returned to the United States in late June where its members earned a thirty-day leave. Upon returning to duty, the division was ordered to deploy to the Pacific reaching Japan in late September where it deployed units around the nation, the first combat unit from Europe to reach the Pacific. The colors of the 386th Infantry Regiment are blue as with other Army infantry regiments. CONDTION: very good overall, light fading to field. (02-17547-56/JS). $600-800.

These changes included no threaded muzzle which was often addressed by blind pinning a thread protector over the muzzle & no pistol grip which brought us the earliest generations of thumb hole stocks.

OHIO RAPID FIRE M76 8MM RIFLE.

Lot #1741 (Sale Order 714 of 927)

Cal. 8mm Mauser. S# 25936. Bbl. 22". Original Zastava M76 rifle in the impressive 8mm chambering has always been a desirable offering. They first made their splash in the United States in 1986 w/ an initial order of 400 rifles, that would be in a configuration that today is known as pre-ban. It would be over a decade before imports would resume. In that period of time they had built a fairly strong following. It appeared that demand would finally be met when 2,000 more were approved for import & sold out in just over 10 days. In a disastrous turn of events the ATF declared every previously approved rifle to be a machine gun due to the oversight of the original mfg. installing a safety sear, which required a dreaded 3rd hole in the receiver. They were all recalled & every firearm was torch cut. Around that time Rapid Fire went to work to design a domestically mfg. variant & started an initial run of 50 utilizing parts from original guns. This example started life as a 26 lb billet of 4140 & several hundred machining operations later, came to life. Some may argue that the Rapid Fire version is superior to the original given details of the mfg. process such as the side mount scope rail being a machined portion of the receiver rather than riveted on like the originals. The new receiver sports #25935, matching the original parts kit including stock & bolt carrier. Trigger group is an adj. Red Star Arms assembly. Front sight base is integral w/ an M14 style flash hider & is protected post. Elevation adj. tangent rear sight graduated to 1000 yards. Sight radius just over 21".

RPB INDUSTRIES 9MM OPEN BOLT M10 PISTOL.

Lot #1910 (Sale Order 882 of 927)

Cal. 9mm Parabellum. S# 81-0006201. Bbl. 6" threaded. Manufactured in 1981. There are very few firearms that conjure up the imagination of the general public more than the mere mention of the MAC 10. The Ingram Model 10 was originally designed in 1964. It would become the 1st of many sm. simplistic SMGs to contrast the expensive & labor intensive earlier variants such as the Thompson & Reising M50. Ingram’s 2 basic guidelines while designing the Model 10 “simple & cheap” while remaining effective & reliable. Made famous mostly by Hollywood, the M10 had appearances on the silver screen & on television eventually earning the infamous title of “The Gun That Made The 80’s Roar” starting w/ John Wayne utilizing a suppressed 9mm M10 in the 1974 movie “McQ”. A favorite example used by the organized anti-gun movement, the Mac 10 was eventually, incorrectly & inaccurately synonymous w/ every crime committed for a long period of time. The semiautomatic M10 was originally offered in semi auto as an open bolt system just like its predecessor the M10 SMG. The BATF determined that the open bolt semi autos met the criteria of a machine gun under the "readily restorable" clause & banned future manufacture, grandfathering those that were assembled and in commerce on or before June 21, 1982 under ATF ruling 82-8. Like everything else, the Federal Government tells citizens they can not have, interest in the early originals immediately skyrocketed & they have been considered highly prized collectibles for almost 40 years now. This is an awesome example of that early operating mechanism, manufactured in 1981, Uniform blued finish on both upper & lower receivers, this is a factory 9mm Parabellum variant manufactured by RPB Industries in Atlanta, GA. These pistols are very familiar to the SMG in both operation & aesthetics w/ only a few differences. Outwardly, the slots for the SMG shoulder stock are not milled in the backplate, and the selector lever on the left side is absent. Sights consist of a protected post front, and a fixed rear peep, consisting of a raised extension of the back plate. The slotted cocking knob is nestled between the sights. Safety is in the front section of the trigger guard. The self-loading operating system is blowback operated and fires from an open bolt. It utilized a fixed firing pin, integral to the bolt face. Right side of receiver is marked w/ the familiar Cobray snake & globe logo and the following stamping: "M10. CAL 9MM PAR / RPB INDUSTRIES, INC. / ATLANTA, GA. U.S.A." as well as the safety markings; "SAFE" & "FIRE" above the trigger guard. Stamped in smaller letters, before "M10" are the letters "SAP". MAGS: 2 steel 36rd & 1 steel 32rd. (3 total). UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: black nylon Cobray carry bag, Cobray mag loader, Cobray black nylon sling, Ingram SMG operating manual & MAC "Do Everything Manual". CONDITION: finish coverage remains complete & consistent w/ a little thinning on a few high spots. Very little sign of actual use. Bore is bright & good rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (22-4455/JZ). MODERN. $1,000-1,500.
