There is a small bit of loose solder audible in the rib that is relatively minor and the barrels also show F.W. Kessler markings. The barrels retain about 90% of a period reapplied rust blue that shows some areas thinning to gunmetal under bright light, light handling marks and some sparse remnants of pinprick pitting beneath the finish. The blue is taking on a pleasant deep plum patina under bright light and the solid rib shows nice matting. The action has mostly toned to a mix of pewter and silvery case-hardened patina with a bit of fine pinprick pitting along the bottom edges and some wisps of strong case-hardened colors in the protected areas. The action is embellished in near full coverage with light filigree scrollwork and bouquets, the fences with foliate motifs in-relief and the top neatly matted. The barrel extension shows a gold inlaid “1” indicating the arm was probably part of a set originally and the top lever has a gold monogram that appears to be “HA” or something similar. The horn triggerguard is intact showing a few thin drying cracks forming, there is a small ridged horn inlay at the base of the pistolgrip and horn basketweave buttplate that shows some light insect damage. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good plus condition as lightly refinished showing some scattered light dings and checkering wear, the buttstock with a small spot of filler to a ding on the right side and the forward edges of the forend appearing to have warped slightly.

Still a nice looking German ejectorgun. (13C11108-142) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1000/1500)

Winchester Model 1885 High Wall Sporting Rifle Lot #1145 (Sale Order 146 of 649) serial #136448, 22 Long RF, 24” No. 3 weight octagon barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of subtle frosting and crisp rifling throughout, possibly neatly relined long ago.

There is a vacant dovetail and a number of other drilled and tapped holes along the underside of the barrel beneath the forend. The action is also a dark gray patina showing some remnants of older reapplied blue and some scattered light dings. All markings remain intact and strong and the barrel shows Winchester proof mark ahead of the rear target block and address and patent dates along the left flat, suggesting it was originally equipped for mounting a scope from the factory, though the current bases are mismatched and probably both later replacements. The checkered capped pistolgrip deluxe walnut buttstock and schnabel forend with ebony tip insert remain in very good plus to about very fine condition, the forend with some older added finish and the buttstock with strong original varnish showing some scattered light dings and handling marks, There is a small gap left of the upper tang and some thing slivers and drying cracks around the tang as well and a small vacant hole along the toe line. The proper hard rubber pistolgrip cap is intact along with the graceful left-side cheekpiece and the wood exhibits some lovely grain figure throughout. The fit of the buttstock is quite good while that of the forend is a little shy where it meets the frame and the Swiss buttplate retains about 90% nickel finish. The stocks are possibly later replacements as there are no assembly numbers on either the tang or stock. There is a blanked rear sight dovetail atop the barrel along with the aforementioned target blocks that mount a set of Winchester patent rings and an unmarked period riflescope that retains about 90% black enamel finish, the optics about good with clean crosshair reticle and somewhat cloudy optics. A target globe front sight missing its insert is also affixed and the action seems to function well mechanically. (13B10998-28) {C&R} [Gary W. Tiscornia Collection] (1200/1800)

Custom Engraved Winchester Model 1890 Slide Action Rifle With Maple Stocks Lot #1156 (Sale Order 157 of 649) serial #546895, 22 Short, 24” octagon barrel with a bright very good bore showing a ring of light pitting near the muzzle and otherwise strong rifling. This unique Third Model rifle from 1914 has been beautifully restored and custom engraved and stocked in some very attractive deluxe configuration maple. The barrel and magazine tube retain about 98-99% refurbished blue with areas of pinprick pitting evident beneath the finish and a few scattered light handling marks. The receiver, crescent buttplate and small parts retain a similar amount of added nickel finish with some scattered small areas of minor cloudiness and pinprick pitting beneath the finish, and what appears to be a topical crack in the lower tang behind the triggerguard which does not extend to the sides or interior surface of the lower tang. The receiver and barrel have beautiful custom engraving with the left side of the receiver depicting a squirrel sitting on branch nibbling an acorn which is reminiscent of a Winchester No. 9 scene. The right side mimics a No. 8 scene of a pair of running squirrels. These vignettes are surrounded by loose foliate scroll with punch-dot shading and the edges show simple foliate borders. The bolt and muzzle and breech of the barrel also feature foliate scroll engraving in the same pattern. The barrel and frame markings and Winchester proofs are slightly softened but clear. The deluxe-style custom checkered maple forend and capped pistolgrip buttstock rate excellent with the shaping of the lower edge of the grip to the Winchester hard rubber gripcap slightly imperfect on the left side and there is a touch of light soiling on the toe of the grip and point-of-comb. The sights are intact and the action of this ornate Model 1890 appears to function well mechanically. Included is a gloss black enamel-painted wooden display case with glass top, brass latches and hinges and a black felt interior. The case contains two HoldUp brand rubber-coated hooks to hold the rifle, one of the hooks is attached with only one screw as the second screw hole does not line up with the HoldUp hook mounting plate. The case rates excellent showing some light soiling and contains a silver-colored plaque marked in black “WINCHESTER MODEL 1890 DELUXE / MANUFACTURED IN 1914 / CALIBER 22 SHORT / 1 OF 1 / THE ONLY ONE COMPLETELY RESTORED / AND UPDATED BY MASTER CRAFTSMEN.” (23C11264-16) {C&R} [Mark Dunnavant Collection] (1500/2000)

Chinese Type 56 SKS Semi-Auto Carbine Captured In Vietnam With Enemy Soldier’s Bandana Lot #1158 (Sale Order 159 of 649) serial #14179405, 7.62x39mm, 20 1/2” chrome-lined barrel with a bright excellent bore. This Type 56 SKS comes from the Howard Bearse collection and has a rather interesting provenance. According to George Layman, Communist Bloc firearms collector and published author on the subject, this SKS was captured during an operation in the “Fishhook” salient of the Kampong Cham province of Cambodia in 1970 by Gunnery Sergeant Cleve Rogers who was with Marine MACV-SOG. Layman, who was in the 1st Special Force Group 441st Intelligence Battalion, knew GySgt. Rogers who worked with Naval Intelligence. The carbine, together with the included bandana from an enemy soldier, were shipped back as Marine classified property. The carbine includes a worn manilla tag marked in pencil “GYSGT / CLEVE ROGERS / APRIL 30, 1970” and “Kampong / Cham / Cambodia.” The Type 56 SKS certainly has that battlefield pickup look. Its metal surfaces retain about 75% original blue with areas of wear toning to a gray patina, scattered spots of light oxidation and light and moderate pitting, and the expected light handling marks. The bolt carrier shows moderate-heavy pitting and is toning to a dull gray patina. All the various numbered parts of the carbine are mismatched due to, as the included photocopy of Mr. Layman’s statement explains, group cleaning by the enemy combatants. The left side of the receiver is stamped “857” along with the “triangle code” for Factory 26, and the three Mandarin characters translating to “Type 56,” and the gun is not import-marked. The hardwood stock and handguard rate very good with no cracks, but the stock is devoid of finish, the wrist has been sanded to a thinner profile, and there are the expected overall minor handling marks. The handguard is stamped “345,” the stock “1369,” and there is a slightly softened “2” in a triangle on the left side of the action. The carbine includes a soiled Chinese SKS sling with clear ink stamp, the mentioned white and red checkered bandana, a cleaning rod and folding cruciform bayonet, and the action appears to function well mechanically. GySgt. Rogers was later involved in the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in 1975, and sadly, this carbine was purchased from his son, as Cleve died of health complications from exposure to Agent Orange.

All the visibly numbered parts are serialized to the trunnion and the gas tube resists removal so its serial number has not been verified. The carbine features a Tapco G2 trigger group, the sights are intact, the bipod folds and deploys as designed and the action appears to function well mechanically. Also included is one Izhevsk-stamped 30-round steel magazine showing some minor high edge and operational wear, a tan canvas Russian “deer head” AK sling.

The scope also includes a removable red lens filter, adjustable daylight diaphragm, a circular disc containing two spare bulbs (a third and fourth bulb are installed in the scope) and an unknown spanner-style screw.

This 1973-manufactured gun is a classic example, one notices immediately the caliber markings are on the right side of the barrel and the left side where they are usually found is blank. In his book The Post-War Single Action Revolver Don Wilkerson explains Colt used 100 - 150 leftover 1971 NRA Commemorative 357 Magnum and 45 Colt barrels on regular production guns. These barrels had a NRA Commemorative narrative on the left side of the barrel requiring the caliber markings to be moved to the right side of the barrel. Colt simply removed or omitted stamping the NRA Commemorative information on the left side and installed them in regular production revolvers in the serial number range of 64047SA – 73164SA. He further indicates that bulk of the three barrel lengths used were 7 1/2” in both calibers, making the 5 1/2” even more desirable. This unusual gun retains about 98% original blue showing light edge wear and handling marks, while the frame retains bold case-hardened colors. The trigger and hammer retain full blue while the sides of the hammer remain bright. The checkered synthetic factory grips feature the Federal Eagle and a Rampant Colt in an oval, they are numbered to the gun and rate excellent. This gun features fixed sights, has a crisp action, a number of the screws show slight slot damage, and it correctly times and locks up. The revolver includes a Colt woodgrain box with Styrofoam insert that rates fair, both end flaps and all four dust covers are missing. This is a golden opportunity for the dedicated collector to pick up a seldom seen Second Generation with an odd nuance as a result of Colts frugality. (8B11207-25) {MODERN} (3000/5000)

Rare Remington-Hepburn No. 3 Special Military Creedmoor Rifle Lot #1206 (Sale Order 207 of 649) serial #5668, 44 2 6/10, 34” barrel with a bright very fine to near excellent bore showing some areas of old mild oxidation nearer the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This is a very rare rifle that was only produced for a couple of years and described on pages 182-200 of “Remington Hepburn” by Rowe. This example has seen honest use, the barrel mostly flaked and toning to plum-brown patina showing some overall old light pitting and oxidation staining with some generous streaks of original blue throughout. The barrel retains strong E. Remington & Sons address and there is a vacant screw hole 1 1/2” ahead of the rear sight assembly. The action is a mostly a pale gray patina showing some areas of darker brown oxidation and cleaned light pitting, a few flashes of silvery case-hardened patina lurking about. The smooth steel buttplate shows moderate partially smoothed-over old pitting and the rear barrel band is an older replacement from a different rifle. The smooth walnut buttstock and full-length forend remain in very good condition having darkened from the years showing areas of oxidation leaching, a few old abrasions and minor drying cracks. The inside back edge of the forend shows an old repair that has partially obscured the serial number but it is indeed matching the action along with the buttstock and barrel. Equipped with sling swivels and military-style cleaning rod, the hammer is not rebounding instead having a half-cock and the action seems to function well mechanically. The rifle is set up in the “Military Breech Loader” match configuration with the special factory combination rear sight (the spirit level lost to the years) and simple plain blade front sight. Other examples are known with half stock rifle match Vernier sights, or a combination of all the sights. These rifles were adopted by the NRA and recommended by the association to members of the American team participating in Creedmoor matches. The rifles were apparently made in two production runs circa 1885 and 1886 in the 3000 and 5000 serial number ranges and it is believed only a handful were made to order, total production estimated in the low double digits. This rifle is listed by serial number as one of nineteen rifles surveyed in Rowe’s book on page 200. While rather well-worn, this rare rifle will make a nice addition to any advanced Remington or single shot collection. (13B10945-1) {ANTIQUE} (3000/5000)

This crack is about .125” in length and extends at an angle to the bottom of the frame and continues for about the same length beneath the triggerguard.

The gold colored end label shows light peeling but remains mostly intact. The gun was originally purchased through Lew Horton Sports Shops for what would be today a very enviable price. There is also a small piece of rattlesnake skin in the box, a memento from a past adventure where the snake was brought to bag by this revolver. A great low number “Second Genny” for the collector.

Very Rare Chinese Type 53/56 Mosin Nagant Cartridge Test Carbine Lot #1236 (Sale Order 237 of 649) serial #I0451, 7.62x39mm, 20” barrel with a bright near excellent bore. This is a very interesting carbine, made by the Chinese arsenal utilizing a Type 53 Mosin Nagant carbine action for testing the Type 56 cartridge (7.62x39mm). Note it is not a pressure test gun, instead a fully functional single-shot presumably for testing live cartridges/bullet speed. The arm remains in very nice condition retaining about 94% original blue showing some scattered light dings, handling marks and sparse oxidation speckles. The barrel shank is crisply marked “1960.11.”, obviously indicating a November 1960 date, over the serial number and a pair of small inspector marks. The bolt is from a Soviet Izhevsk-made rifle and remains mostly bright showing a little pitting along the knob. The bolt face has been arsenal-modified and specially machined out to accept the smaller case head of the Type 56 cartridge. The hardwood stock and handguard remain in very good condition showing a small repair along the left side buttstock, a 3” drying crack at the right side nose, a few moderate abrasions and overall light dings to be expected. The stock shows a heavy military-type dark shellac. The bolt is numbered “3187” and, as-noted the action was specifically made for single-shot feeding with no provisions for a magazine assembly. Sighted with simple foxed u-notch rear sight and standard post front sight with hood, the action seems to function well mechanically. This carbine is purportedly one of three imported in a large batch of normal Type 53 carbines by Don Bell of Omega Weapons Systems, and this very gun serial #I0451 is discussed on a number of firearms websites as a known example of the variant, and is indeed the only one that frequently turns up, the other two have yet to surface. The Soviet Union made a similar bullet speed testing carbine designated the “56-B-241c”, so this could be considered the Chinese military’s equivalent. This interesting carbine would make a superb and unique addition to any advanced martial collection. (13B11185-1) {C&R} [Ex-John F. Sukey Collection] (1000/1500)

Antique French Brass Barrel Muzzleloading Salute Cannon Lot #1317 (Sale Order 318 of 649) About .70 cal., bored 11” deep showing light oxidation. A heavy and quality-made percussion tip-hit fired muzzleloading salute cannon.

The tube is a goldenrod patina and shows light dings and handling marks overall, a few more prevalent on the first chase. The tube has been mounted to a very nicely constructed mahogany garrison style base with dual flat brass capsquares and triple stretchers, each cheek left and right with a single eyelet for gun tackle.

A quality made and handsome salute cannon, doubtless slightly tighter-fitting capsquares would need to be manufactured if one were to use the arm, but as an antique French salute cannon is very handsome as it sits.

Quality All-Brass Muzzleloading Salute Cannon Lot #1318 (Sale Order 319 of 649) About .70 cal., bored 10 7/8” deep, with a lightly oxidized bore. This is an extremely well-made muzzleloading salute cannon, the barrel very much in the Napoleon style, on a well-constructed split-trail brass carriage. The barrel has a defined rim face with a very nice muzzle flare and a single astragal and fillet ahead of the chase ending in another astragal just ahead of the trunnions, which are offset. The smooth breech chase then runs back to a single banded astragal, vent, and the breech reinforce, overall length of the tube is 13”. The split cheeks of the trace have iron stretchers between, the nuts which fastened them nicely turned iron with dual holes for a spanner which would tighten them, rather than a common hexagonal nut. The iron stretchers show a bit of oxidation or remnants of light pitting which is of no consequence. There is a very nice fine-adjustment elevation screw with handle present which operates flawlessly. The spoked brass wheels are retained to the axle also with flat nuts, which tighten with a spanner just as the cheek nuts. The entire gun has a pleasing deep ocher patina and shows remnants of an old metal polish residue in some of the recessed areas. One of the stretcher nuts is missing but it is of no consequence and would be very easy for a machinist or gunsmith to make one, if one wished. The gun is vented for firecracker fuse rather than 3/32” diameter fuse and shows evidence of having been fired. The overall length muzzle face to tip of trace is 21”. A beautifully-constructed, well-made antique salute cannon. (3B10083-61) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Early Contemporary Percussion Fullstock Sporting Rifle By Southgate Lot #1366 (Sale Order 367 of 649) Description Update 11-13-23: Mentioned cracks in description are a repaired break at the toe with added finish r>
serial #97, .44 cal., 38” octagon barrel with an excellent bright bore having a spot of very light oxidation about 9” from the muzzle. This is an early 1951 Madison, Tennessee made rifle before Royland Southgate moved operations to Franklin Tenn. sometime in 1953. The barrel is a mix of original brown finish and gunmetal gray at the face of the muzzle, nipple bolster and along the edges. The barrel is decorated with simple star shape engraving around the muzzle, single horizontal lines on either side of the nickel silver blade insert front sight, double matching lines on either side of the V-notch rear sight and the top of the barrel has early small “R. Southgate” signature. The lock is a mottled gray and brown with single line border, simple sunburst under the barrel bolster and matching “R. Southgate” signature centered below the bolster. There is a simple brass nosecap and brass furniture throughout with grooved ramrod thimbles and tailpipe, single faceted triggerguard, two-piece lightly engraved patchbox, faceted buttplate and plain toeplate. The maple stock is nicely adorned with a lightly carver flourish to the rear of the double grooved left side cheekpiece and simple, yet attractive single-line borders along the lower right side of the buttstock and either side of the patchbox. There is a small engraved German silver diamond-shaped escutcheon on either side of the wrist and a slightly more decorative larger diamond inlay on the cheekrest. There is a glue repaired crack at the toe from the lower rear corner of the patchbox to the front of the toeplate and a thin hairline crack through the stock flat in front of the lockplate. The interior of the patchbox is equipped with three rows of small wooden pillars, most likely for securing percussion caps next to a small collection of lubricated linen patches. Equipped with a single trigger, the action remains strong but is void of a half-cock safety and what appears to be an original maple ramrod is included. Royland Southgate was born in 1915 and started making Tennessee Flintlock and percussion rifles and pistols in 1946 and in 1977 while delivering gun #1007 to Slim Pickens at his Wyoming ranch suffered a severe stroke which was the beginning of the end of his rifle making. In the spring of 1979, he suffered a second severe stroke and passed away in June of that year. Included with this rifle are three letters dated 1950-1951 from Mr. Southgate to the original purchaser of this rifle discussing the making of the rifle and tips for shooting. Southgate stated his rifles were made to shoot. His “Tenn. Made Kaintuck” rifles are highly sought after and collected, this rifle is a fine example. (5C11232-12) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500) |

The end label is completely intact and the interior lid label is also very fine and specifically calls out the “Re-bounding Hammer”. Mr. Littlefield’s notes indicate this is the only such-marked box that he has ever seen. Only about 4000 of this model were manufactured before production ceased in favor of the more economical non-rebounding models. A superb find for the dedicated collector.

The backstrap has two unit markings, the first “W / 6.21 / CMGS / 30” likely referring to the Canadian Machinegun Squadron, the second marking is “FGH / 32” likely referring to the Fort Garry Horse.

Barrel-to-frame fit is excellent and the action seems to function well mechanically with very good timing and lock-up. These revolvers are very scarce with perhaps only 1000 of these short-barreled variants were manufactured and this is a nice example for the advanced Smith & Wesson collector.

The smooth straight grip walnut stock and forend are in very good condition as perhaps lightly cleaned long ago, with a light impact mark at the rear of the lower tang, scattered light dings and handling marks largely smoothed from time and handling, an about 1” crack on the right side of the forend, and a touch of added finish; the grooved steel shotgun-style buttplate is intact having worn to pewter-gray with light oxidation staining. The factory markings are intact and easily legible, with correct “WP” proofs on barrel and receiver, and a few screws show just the beginning of some minor slot damage. The rifle is sighted with a bead front sight and a flattop sporting-style rear, and appears to function well mechanically. A total of 24,916 Model 53 rifles were produced by Winchester, making this example quite early in production. (14A11249-3) {C&R} (800/1200)

Interesting Trio Of Knives Belonging To Electrician’s Mate First Class Alvin Haase U.S.C.G. Lot #1587 (Sale Order 588 of 649) The following three knives belonged to Electrician’s Mate First Class Alvin George Haase, U.S.C.G. (November 22, 1921-January 9, 2011) while serving on USS LST-202 in the Pacific Theater. He retained possession of the knives until his passing in 2011. The first knife is a Camillus M2 fighting knife most likely issued to Mr. Hasse and measures 12” overall with a 7” blade. The metal surfaces retain 98% original blue with light scabbard wear on the blade. The stacked leather washer handle remains in excellent condition as does the gray U.S.N. MK2 scabbard. The second knife is an interesting and attractive theater made knife crafted from what appears to be a ground 1942 or M1 bayonet blade and a brass 20mm shell casing measuring 11 7/8” overall with a 8 1/2” clip point blade. The narrow blade has been sharpened and has toned to a pale gray with traces of original finish in the fullers and tiny chips along the main edge, The guard is a copper Australian penny and the brass casing has a nicely tarnished patina and is adorned with one Fijian and three British coins. The open throat leather belt sheath is crafted from a belt or some other type of acquired leather, the seams partially secured thin steel wire and remnants of string stitching. The third knife is a vintage Marbles Woodcraft hunting knife measuring 8 3/8” overall with a 4 1/2” raised point carbon steel skinning blade equipped with a serrated thumb rest. The blade has been sharpened and has toned to pale gray with light staining and oxidation. The brass guard shows light tarnish and verdigris, the aluminum pommel has light staining and impact marks, the stacked leather washer and spacer handle remains in near excellent condition. What appears to be an original sheath is included showing modest wear, separating reinforced seams and a handle strap with separated snap showing modest verdigris. Included are copies and photos that outlines Mr. Haase’s experience on LST-202 (Landing Ship Tank) while serving in the Coast Guard from June 29, 1942 – February 27, 1946. The information was passed on to the current consignor by Mr. Haase’s children and several letters were notarized. LST-202 saw action against Japanese dive bombers, torpedo attack planes, shore emplacements, and even dodged a couple of typhoons during its numerous trips in the pacific. While at sea on his last trip he was notified his enlistment was up and could continue onto the Philippines then home, which could take months, or be dropped off in New Guinea and find his way home from there. He chose the New Guinea option, hiking through the jungle to get to an U.S. airfield on the opposite end of the island where he came ashore, caught a flight to a European base, then found his way home to the States. A nice grouping for the knife or military collector. (5B10991-3) (400/600)
