Today, the rifle is available through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CPM), which is a government organization set up to promote firearms training among the US population. More than 20,000 Kimber M82 rifles were made in the late 1980s for the Army’s marksmanship training. Kimber’s Model 82 Government rimfire is among the few truly accurate rimfire rifles in the world, and of those, one of the least expensive. It is considered as the sporting rifle. U.S Marines at shooting range aiming with SVD Dragunov combat sniper U.S. Marines practicing shooting with Soviet-made designated marksman SVD Dragunov rifle (Photo: XY) In November 1986, the U.S. Army notified Greg Warne, then president of Kimber, that the United States Government and the Marine Corps were looking for a new rimfire rifle to be used in three-position indoor matches and to train military marksmen. The contract was for 10,000 rifles. Features heavy round barrel, blue finish, bases for front sight, barrel scope and grooved receiver for scope. Plain pistol grip walnut target type stock, barrel weight under rail, heavy black recoil pad. This gun is near new in the original box with paperwork but needs a bolt.

CIA NAMED CASED NON PORTABLE AWARDS TO CIA AGENT Lot #80 (Sale Order 80 of 656) Ultra rare set of Agency otherwise known as the CIA Central Intelligence Agency Non Portable Awards to include 1) Cased Exceptional Service Medallion For the death resulting from service in an area of hazard. This medal is named to the reverse Richard C. Spicer and dated 1985. Edge of the medal is engraved MACO-NY. FINE SILVER-.999+ 2) Cased Intelligence Star For a voluntary act or acts of courage performed under hazardous conditions or for outstanding achievements or services rendered with distinction under conditions of grave risk. Medal is engraved to the reverse Richard C. Spicer and dated 1985. Also in the lot is a Remembrance of Service letter signed by Ronald Reagan. Before he died in a plane crash on a mission in support of Nicaragua's contra rebels, on October 18, 1984, Spicer was a proficient pilot working for a public utility in Houston in the early 1980s. 'I Am Going on a Trip' It rained on the October day in 1984 when they lowered Richard Spicer's mangled body into the grave. It was a sloppy rain that carried off the fresh dirt and swept everything clean. By the time the sod was replaced, there was no evidence a grave had even been dug. Nor did the gravediggers lay their usual temporary aluminum marker to locate the grave while they waited for a permanent marker. "The government man who came here told me not to mark the grave," at least for a time, recalls funeral director Donald McKinney of Youngsville, Pa. The local obituary noted that Spicer was 53 and had died in "southern Florida." McKinney remembers being told by "the government man" that Spicer had died in a car accident in Miami. Notwithstanding the CIA's efforts, Spicer's death made front page news around the nation. He and the three men who died with him in a plane crash over El Salvador were the first known U.S. casualties in Central America since the Reagan administration began funding a secret war there in the early 1980s. Within days, newspaper reporters found Spicer's grave and began trying to reconstruct the circumstances of his death. Spicer had been part of the shadowy but publicly acknowledged U.S. government support for Nicaragua's contra rebels, who mounted violent resistance to Managua's Soviet-backed, leftist Sandinista government. The contras received arms, training, money and political support from Washington, channeled in substantial part through the CIA. They were one of a number of anti-leftist forces worldwide that the Reagan administration supported to keep the Soviet Union off balance. Spicer's death certificate noted he had been a pilot and had died on October 18, 1984, at 8:30 p.m. It was signed by the U.S. vice consul in El Salvador. The CIA acknowledged that two of the men on the plane, Scott Van Lieshout and Curtis Wood, were its employees. Those two would later have their names inscribed in the Book of Honor. But Spicer's death was different. He had been covert. Within a day of the crash, though there was no hope of concealing his identity, the agency continued its quixotic efforts to keep his name out of the press. Spicer himself was a vague and private figure. He had grown up on farms in Arkansas and California where his father raised crops and managed the land. His mother, now 87, remembers that, as a child, he was captivated by planes. "I'm going to fly one of those one day," he would say each time a plane passed overhead. At 17 he dropped out of school to enlist in the Army. Later he spent 10 years with the Air Force. He was married three times and was the father of three daughters and two sons. But, as his elder son, Richard, says, "He couldn't hack being a father." He was unemotional. An arch-conservative, he converted from the Baptist faith to Catholicism but grew disaffected with the church, suspecting it had come under leftist influence. Closest to him was his younger brother, Carroll, now a retired Tulsa firefighter. The two spoke often. "When he went with the CIA he called me and swore me to secrecy," Carroll recalls. "I was not to tell any family member what he was doing." Spicer was fascinated with the technical capabilities of the aircraft he flew on agency missions. "He would tell me they were flying a Merlin twin engine, that it was a flying laboratory. Their mission was to search, locate and report. They were to fly over Nicaragua using infrared sensors, look for pack trains, mules, horses -- and X-ray them to see what they were carrying, if it was, in his words, 'contraband.' They were then to radio ahead. They [also] had listening devices" they could use to intercept conversations on the ground, Carroll says. Often the conversations with his brother were cryptic. "The night he called me was the night before he left for the trip that killed him. 'Carroll,' he said, 'I am going on a trip. Let's hope you don't hear anything bad on the news about a guy by the name of Dick Brinks, with an "s." ' I said, 'That's your old Air Force buddy,' and he said, 'That's Dick Brink.' And with that I under

HISTORIC COLT SAA OWNED BY BOB FORD / JESSE JAMES Lot #302 (Sale Order 304 of 656) SERIAL NUMBER12267. BARREL 7-1/2 inch . CALIBER .45 LC cartridge. MANUFACTURED 1874. Historic Colt SAA Revolver attributed to Bob Ford, assassin of Jesse James. Finished nickel with one-piece walnut grips. Early "donut" style ejector rod, and italic one-line barrel address. Left side of frame marked "U.S." No other U.S. Ordnance Inspection stamps are found. Early 2-line patent address. Right side of frame is stamped "JESSE" in tilting block letters. Left side of frame, below the recoil shield is stamped "JAMES". This very revolver is pictured on page 186, in "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Volume II" by Keith Cochran. Referring to the famous photograph of Bob Ford holding a 7-1/2 inch, nickel plated Colt Single Action Army revolver, with one-piece wood grips. Much speculation and controversy has stirred over the years whether the gun in the photograph is the revolver Ford used to kill Jesse James on April 3, 1882, or perhaps, as some believe, a .44 caliber Smith & Wesson Number 3 revolver. It is interesting to note that Bob Ford swore until his death, the Colt shown with him in the photograph was indeed the revolver he used. Bob Ford was dispatched by both barrels from a 10-gauge shotgun on June 8, 1892 in Creede Colorado by Missourian, Ed O'Kelly. Unfortunately, the serial number of the "photo gun" is unknown and most likely lost to history. Mr. Cochran's research identifies four Colt Single Action Army revolvers, as potentially being the Colt held by Bob Ford in the famous photograph. This revolver s/n 12267 is the number one candidate, along with serial numbers 23960, 50432, and 68800. Serial number 12267, offered in this lot comes directly from the estate of well-known South Dakota collector, and firearms expert James O. Aplan. Mr. Aplan, among many things was a scholar, cowboy, Korean War Veteran, and rodeo champion. He was held in high regard by fellow collectors and Western Historians. Items from his personal collection can be found in several major museums across the country. Mr. Aplan acquired s/n 12267 in 1982 from another well-known collector, Doug Janke of South Dakota. In reading documentation and personal notes accompanying this revolver, both Mr. Janke and James Aplan believed this was indeed the Colt revolver held by Bob Ford in the photograph. Serial number 12267 has remained in the Aplan family collection (41-years) until offered by his wife Peggy for this sale. CONDITION: Very good overall. Approximately 50-60% original nickel plating remains. Action is tight. Scattered areas of flaking and abrasions located mainly along the barrel. Cylinder is mostly a dark brown patina. No serial number found on cylinder. Bore is turning dark. Excellent walnut grips showing moderate wear. U.S. Ordnance Inspector stamp "R.A.C" (Rinaldo A. Carr) observed on butt, indicating the grips are possibly period replacement. Grips fit correctly to the frame and backstrap. Replaced screws on the frame and triggerguard. A fascinating and desirable early Colt Single Action Army revolver, worthy of the most advanced collection or Museum. -MKS- / ANTIQUE Antique / -MKS-

RARE DOCUMENTED COLT MARTIAL WALKER D CO. NO.218 Lot #304 (Sale Order 306 of 656) SERIAL NUMBER: -D- Company Number 218 BARREL: 8-Inch CALIBER: .44 Percussion MANUFACTURED: 1847. The Colt Model of 1847 (Walker) was Samuel Colt's first success in selling revolvers in quantity to the U.S. Government, thus setting the stage for the inventor to make a name for himself in military and commercial firearm manufacturing. In the words of the late Colt Historian and author R.L. "Larry" Wilson, "The Paterson Model made Sam Colt famous, but the Walker gave him keys to the mint". A collaborated effort between Samuel Colt and Texas Ranger Captain Samuel H. Walker, national hero of the Texas-Mexico Wars, this powerful revolver became subject of legend and fame, forever linked to the Texas Ranger romantic lore. Manufactured in Eli Whitney's factory in Connecticut, only 1,100 were produced with 1,000 going to military sales and 100 reserved of civilian sales. The revolver was known for its powerful performance, delivering .44 caliber shots in a six-cylinder design. The gun is a behemoth, weighing four pounds, nine ounces, producing heavily felt recoil. Though originally intended for close quarter cavalry engagements, the Colt Walker was known to reliably shoot much further. Captain Walker himself reported the revolver shooting past 100 yards with little effort, further saying "It would take a Texan to shoot it". Captain Walker was unfortunately killed in action soon after receiving his presentation pair, on October 9, 1847 at the command of 250 men heroically chasing 1,600 Mexican troops out of the town of Huamantla. This famous weapon saw very heavy use during Military engagements with the majority of production being loss or destroyed during battle. It is believed that less than 100 authentic examples are known to exist today, and are considered the "Blue Chip" of Colt collecting. In an August 1939 article written for "Hobbies" magazine by early historian and author Wilbur F.S. Quick, Mr. Quick documents his 10-year study (starting in 1928) searching out Colt Walker Revolvers that could be proven as authentic. The article is titled "THERE ARE FIFTY WALKER COLTS". In the 1939 article Mr. Quick states: "After the complete story of the life of Samuel Hamilton Walker was published in my March 1938 Hobbies article, many collectors have asked "How many of the moguls are yet extant?" Over a 10-year extensive search, Mr. Quick found 44 Walkers in the hands of United States collectors or dealers. Nearly complete records were found on 36 of these. In the Hobbies 1939 article, Mr. Quick offers a list of the 36 Colt Walkers he was able to compile "complete records" on. Of those 36 documented guns, he has listed our subject revolver, D Company No. 218. Mr. Quick goes on to say in his article: "The author believes that ten of these revolvers are in original factory condition except some service wear; ten others are complete in parts that were rebuilt in the Colt factory; ten others have restored parts made and outfitted by gunsmiths during their service; the balance is 75% whole, but the repairs are crude. Mr. Quick further states: "The unexpected may always happen as a miracle, but not to exceed a dozen more will ever be found. It is really safe to conclude that there are but 50 Walker Colts in existence today" (1939). In a follow-up article, authored by Mr. Quick in the November 1940 edition of Hobbies Magazine, titled "Hunting for the Walkers", Mr. Quick reveals the owner of Colt Walker D Company No. 218, the same revolver he documented in his 1939 article as 1 of 36 Walkers having "complete records". The owner of D Company No. 218 was well-known Texas collector J.W. (Joe) Bates. It is believed, and supported by several documents accompanying this fine Colt Walker, that Joe Bates later sold D Company No. 218 to another well-known and celebrated Colt collector, James Serven. Mr. Serven in turn sold the revolver to Osborne Klavestad, owner and founder of the "Stagecoach Museum" located in Shakopee, Minnesota. D Company No. 218 is pictured on page 218 of the book: "Stagecoach Museum Gun Collection". The revolver is photographed with a brass collection identification tag, No. 2901 attached to the triggerguard, the tag is still present today. During 1974, Mr. Klavestad loaned Colt Walker D Company No. 218 along with another celebrated revolver, a Colt Buntline Special from his Stagecoach Museum for a special exhibit located at the Disneyland Convention Center in Los Angeles California. The exhibit was titled: "Centuries of Antiques". These fine revolvers were on displayed during March 1974. Sometime during early 1980s, well known Collector/Dealer, Ray Saign of Minneapolis Minnesota purchased D Company No. 218 from Osborne Klavestad. Mr. Saign later sold the revolver to another well-known collector, Richard Donaldson of Grand Detour Illinois. CONDITION: This historic 176-year-old revolver, originally found in the interior of Old-Mexico sometime prior to 1938 by Texas Colt Collector, Joe Bates remains in very good condi

COLT SAA 44-40 MADE IN 1881 Lot #308 (Sale Order 310 of 656) SERIAL 66013. BARREL 5". CALIBER 44-40. Factory letter states gun was shipped on November 4, 1881 to Hartley & Graham of New York as a standard blue 44-40 with no barrel length listed which usually means it was a 7 1/2". Wood grips were standard so not mentioned in letter. Crisp one line barrel address and proper front sight but was probably shortened outside the factory but looks factory. Etched panel used until 1889 is not visible. One piece walnut grips have J. Hughes and an H nicely stamped in block font. While there is no documents with family history, this gun came from the Hughes family but there was no records as such but there was a very famous Texas Ranger named John Reynolds Hughes (February 11, 1855 – June 3, 1947) Texas Ranger and cowboy , later an author. Several books were written about his long history as one of the most influential Texas Rangers of all time. It has been suggested he was the inspiration for the Lone Ranger character, since Zane Grey dedicated The Lone Star Ranger to Hughes in 1915. The ambush of Texas Ranger Captain Frank Jones and Hughes' long hunt for the killers also support this theory. He would have been 36 years old when this revolver was shipped. He made his way into the Indian Territories around 1870, joining the rangers in 1887. The gun itself has no original finish and is a clean smooth gun metal gray. Barrel legends are sharp and grips are excellent. All matching numbers on frame, barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and back strap.

Osthaus painted every winning dog from 1896 through 1910. The series included some of the most famous bird dogs in the nation's history such as Count Gladstone.
