Chicago Fire Arms Co, The Protector .32 RF extra Short Radial Palm Pistol
Lot #12 (Sale Order 12 of 391)
ANTIQUE Chicago Fire Arms Co, The Protector .32 RF extra Short Radial Palm Pistol
Our Assessment:Originally developed by a French inventor named Jacques Turbiaux, the "Le Protector" pistol is a fascinating little machine. Turbiaux made some in France, but soon licensed the design to Peter Finnegan who produced them at his Minneapolis Firearms Company which was then moved and became the Chicago Fire Arms Company which sub-contracted production to the Ames Sword Company. Like many other manufacturers and inventors of the time, Finnegan hoped to take advantage of the Chicago World Fair in 1892 to sell a huge quantity of his Protector palm-pistols, contracting for 15,000 to be made. There were only about 13,000 made, taking some 12 years to sell all that were produced from 1892-1898.
While the pistol may look a little odd, it is quite ergonomic and manages to pack seven rounds of .32 extra Short into its radial cylinder. The mechanism is essentially that of any other double action revolver, except that the trigger is a lever on the rear which is engaged by the palm of the hand the cylinder is radial, rotating around an axis perpendicular to the bore with the cartridges pointing away from the axis of rotation. The sideplate can be removed by rotating it and then the trigger can be depressed slightly to remove the cylinder for loading and unloading.
This example is in gorgeous condition. It retains nearly all of its original nickel finish, strong mechanics, serial matching parts, and the bore condition indicates it has seen very limited, if any actual firing. This fascinating little gun will make a great addition to a collection of pocket pistols and is sure to be a conversation starter with its unique appearance.

Beautiful Custom Ball & Williams Custom 1864 Ballard .22 LR 31" Single Shot Rifle
Lot #24 (Sale Order 24 of 391)
Beautiful Custom Ball & Williams Custom 1864 Ballard .22LR 31" Single Shot Rifle
Our Assessment: Taken from Bill West, "By 1863, the Ballard was well known and in popular demand. The name was pleasing, and military trials had indicated that the gun was as sure fire as the rimfire cartridges. Merwin & Bray's enthusiasm for the gun gave it wide publicity." The rifles were made for military contracts and also insporting configurations. They could be had for both hunting and target shooting. The target rifles were marketed to competitors in "Match Shooting", a sport which was extremely popular from about 1871 to 1917. The Ballard rifles challenged the Sharps, Remington, Maynard and Winchester rifles, and were well liked. This one has been restored and is dressed in sporting rifle trim. The metal finish has been restored and is now a rich blue and vibrant case color. The stocks are wonderfully figured checkered walnut with a straight grip, straight comb, cheekpiece, and a Schuetzen buttplate. Not only is it good looking, but it has been modified to fire a round you can actually find and shoot! This a beautiful rifle that will add to any collection and be fun to shoot with ammo that is easily found and affordable! New life breathed into an old classic. Please see our photos and good luck!

Georg Gohring Garmisch Martini Schuetzen 8.15x46R 30" Target Rifle
Lot #26 (Sale Order 26 of 391)
Georg Gohring Garmisch Martini Schuetzen 8.15x46R 30" Target Rifle
Our Assessment:The Schuetzen style target rifles were produced from the late 19th century through the early 20th century primarily in Imperial Germany. The gun’s name comes from the German word Schütze (lit. shooter) and were made for competitive target shooting which was popular at the time. The guns were produced mainly by small gunsmiths scattered throughout the German Empire who beautifully engraved their firearms. These guns were made for competitive shooting and have target sights, double set-triggers, interesting grip patterns on their wrists and unique cheek-pieces. The rifles were chambered for a variety of calibers, many of which are obsolete today making positive identification especially difficult. The production of these ornate rifles began to dissipate after WWI. This particular rifle was made by the Garmisch-based craftsman Georg Gohring. In the absence of a caliber designation, we believe that this rifle is chambered for 8.15x46R and we were able to chamber and extract brass, though you will want to confirm this before attempting to shoot. The receiver features intricate relief engraving with a mixture of floral motif scroll, fruits, and game scenes. The left side of the action is engraved with a stag and the right side displays a game bird. The bottom of the receiver features a game dog below another bird and rounding out the animal theme on the metal, there is a bust of a pronghorn displayed on the lever. Not content with displaying his immense skill on the metal alone, Mr. Gohring continued the engraving theme onto the wood stocks which have deep relief scroll and another game scene. The craftsmanship is insane and it is hard to imagine how long this rifle took to build. The nominal 30" octagonal barrel is proudly marked with Mr. Gohrning's name and hometown in silver inlay. The target sights and the light set trigger combine for what was the pinnacle of accuracy at the time it was built. The gun remains mechanically sound despite its age. Perhaps even more importantly, the rifle is beautiful with impressive scroll engravings and reliefs.

Kenny Majors engraved Remington No. 4 Rolling Block .22LR 22 1/2" Single Shot Rifle
Our Assessment: The Rolling Block was one of Remington's most successful designs seeing use in numerous militaries the world over. The large frame military arms were in service from 1867 to 1918, spanning the American Civil War and World War One. The robust single-shot rifles are known for inherent accuracy and strength beyond the call of duty. In fact, it was such a hit that production continued even when more modern options were available. It was chambered for numerous calibers and went through numerous design changes in its lifetime. The rifles were so successful that smaller framed variants were produced for sporting purposes. This a small No. 4 Rolling Block chambered in .22 Rimfire. These were offered in various calibers and this one has a 22 1/2" octagonal barrel. This one is not just any No. 4 Rolling Block though, it is one of two guns that Kenny Majors submitted to the Firearms engravers Guild of America in 2007. In January of 2007 Mr. Major submitted his guns to be judged by Master engravers in attendance to see if he could achieve the prestigious title. The rifle is engraved with game scenes that Mr. Majors thought depicted the use of this rifle when new. The left side is engraved with a squirrel in a tree and the right side is marked with a rabbit in a lettuce patch. The game scenes are surrounded by American scroll and the receiver has a deep border engraving. Not content with embellishing just the receiver, Mr. Majors got to work on the buttplate with a scene of a hungry fox on a hill above a farmhouse and barn. All the animals are gold inlaid, and there are also gold bands at the front and rear of the barrel. The receiver and buttplate are also adorned with oak leaf clusters with silver inlaid acorns. All the parts were hand polished before the rifle was engraved, and then again before the finish was applied. The rifle was mechanically restored to factory spec by J. Peter Mazur, an American Custom Gunsmith Guide member and restoration expert. Wyoming Armory did the beautiful case color and the bore was relined by another expert custom gunmaker, Mr. Lon Paul. The bluing and final assembly was completed by Jeff Tandy Gun Finishing. Mr. Majors has approximately 100 hours of labor in this rifle himself, and there is significantly more in all the work that was performed by the other craftsman. Both this rifle and Mr. Majors' other submission were judged to be executed at Master level. After seeing this it is no wonder why he earned the prestigious title. Now is your chance to own not only a Kenny Majors engraved piece, but one of the first two he ever did under the distinction Master engraver. This a beautiful rifle that makes one marvel at all the work that went into it. From Mr. Majors collection to yours, this a wonderful opportunity at a one-of-one bespoke rifle.

Documented Sharps Model 1874 Mid-Range No. 2 Rifle 1877 .45-110 Government Single Shot Rifle
Our Assessment:Sharps rifles are a series of large-bore, single-shot, falling-block, breech-loading rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848 and ceasing production in 1881. The rifle was available in a variety of calibers, and it was one of the few designs to be successfully adapted to metallic cartridge use. The Sharps rifles became icons of the American Old West with their appearances in many Western-genre films and books.This particular rifle is a Sharps Model 1874 Mid-range No. 2 Rifle in .45-110 caliber. This rifle comes with paperwork including a factory letter. According to that letter, this rifle was sold to Leslie Combs Bruce in 1877. Bruce was an avid Creedmoor Range shooter and a member of the American Team in the International Match of 1877. He was also the business manager of Turf, Field, & Farm, a periodical of the time. An original copy of said periodical is included, as well as an original edition of Harper's Weekly in which a bust of each of the American and British team members in the International Rifle Match of 1877 are depicted. The bust of L.C. Bruce can be seen depicted on the bottom row center of pages 744-745. The barrel on this rifle has been replaced with a period barrel, possibly by Bruce himself. This rifle is the ultimate find for a Sharps rifle collector and clearly has a rich history!

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 391)
Rare Colt USA American Bicentennial Set Dragoon SAA Python & Case, 1976 ATF C&R
Our Assessment:This may be the most important set for Colt collectors produced. The set encompasses the three quintessential firearms from three generations of Colt revolvers. The Dragoon was designed as a solution to numerous problems encountered with the Walker Colt. Although it was introduced after the Mexican-American War, it became popular among civilians during the 1850s and 1860s, and was also used during the American Civil War. It was the first of the heavy hitting revolvers that became practical for military use. The Colt Single Action Army represents not only a generation of Colt Production, but an era of American History. The Colt helped tame the West and the 7 1/2" .45 LC SAA is a gun that elicits feelings of the Old West upon sight. The Python was the next generation. This gun shows the finest of Colt's Modern Double Action Revolver design and manufacturing. The Colt Python is desirable. It was first introduced in 1955, the same year as Smith & Wesson's M29 .44 Magnum. The Colt Python targeted the premium revolver market segment. Some firearm collectors and writers such as Jeff Cooper, Ian V. Hogg, Chuck Hawks, Leroy Thompson, Renee Smeets and Martin Dougherty have described the Python as the finest production revolver ever made.

Lot #32 (Sale Order 32 of 391)
engraved Colt 1st Generation .44-40 Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army Revolver
Our Assessment: Colt's Single Action Army is, perhaps more than any other, an iconic American pistol. It was the U.S. issue sidearm for the last two decades of the 19th century, used by pioneers, outlaws and lawmen across the expanding nation, and captivated audiences on the silver screen and television (and still does, today). Produced for nearly a century and a half, they are still being made, today! Apart from markings and chambering, the 'Frontier Six Shooter' is the same as any other Single Action Army, but they are specifically chambered for the .44-40 WCF cartridge, making an ideal companion revolver for a Winchester lever action rifle chambered for the same cartridge.This example is a 1st Generation Frontier Six Shooter made in 1912. It has been engraved and silver plated with handsome grips installed. The result is a visually striking revolver that will turn heads. Any 1st Generation SAA would make a great addition to a Colt collection, and this embellished early 20th Century example should be no exception. Please see our photos and good luck!

Type of Finish: Silver Plate
Finish Originality: Refinished at time of engraving.
Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is some minor erosion at the muzzle-end. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8 out of 10.Many military and C&R-eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide.
Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 95% of its current metal finish. The finish is generally strong with scattered discoloration that should polish out. There are some minor finish losses at sharper edges and some scattered minor marks. The action shows light operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to lightly tool marked with strong slots. The markings are generally clear, the frame's rampant colt is worn and incomplete. Overall, this revolver is in Very Good-plus condition as refinished.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The cylinder has a removable bushing. The cylinder locks up with barely perceptible play on each chamber. The trigger is crisp. We did not fire this gun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This revolver comes in a wood display case with French-fit red fabric interior and key.

early 3rd Generation Nickel .357 Colt Single Action Army Revolver & Later Box
Lot #33 (Sale Order 33 of 391)
early 3rd Generation 7 1/2" Nickel .357 Magnum Colt Single Action Army Revolver & Later Box
Our Assessment: In 1974, Colt quietly discontinued production the single Action Army; this would be the second time they discontinued production of this glorious revolver. Luckily, the loyal fans of the SAA would not need to wait long as colt would bring back the SAA in 1976 as the "3rd Generation". Changes were made but the basic SAA was the same, i.e. three standard barrel lengths of 4 3/4", 5 1/2" and 7 1/2", finishes of full nickel or blue, with color case hardened frame, and grips of hard rubber.Some changes were incorporated in an effort by Colt to keep prices down. One new change was a pressed-in cylinder pin bushing instead of the removable ones used in 1st and 2nd Generation cylinders. Toward the end of 2nd Generation production Colt had begun using some investment cast parts, but the frames continued to be forged. The introductory caliber for 3rd Generation SAAs was .45 Colt, but .357 Magnum came along by the end of 1976.everyone should have a Colt Single Action Army, and this would be a beauty to add to any collection. MANUFACTURED in the late 1970's, this revolver is in excellent condition, appearing to have seen little, if any use. With a 7 1/2" barrel and chambered for .357 Magnum, this a classic Single Action Army chambered for a more modern magnum cartridge. This makes it suitable for addition to a collection, but is also something that could be carried as a hunting sidearm or used in Cowboy Action Shooting competitions.

U.S. Naval Ordnance Colt Detective Special 2nd Issue .38 Special Revolver
Lot #50 (Sale Order 50 of 391)
1959 U.S. Naval Ordnance Testing Station Colt Detective Special 2nd Issue .38 Special Revolver
Our Assessment: The Colt Detective Special was in many ways the same revolver as the Police Positive Special, except it was limited to a 2" barrel (very few were produced with 3" barrels). The Colt Detective Special and its aluminum-framed cousin, the Colt Cobra, were very popular with police detectives because they held six cartridges versus the five cartridges of the Smith & Wesson J-frames. The Detective Special had a long production run, from 1927 to 1995, a testament to its popularity. This example was MANUFACTURED in 1959, the butt of the grip frame is marked "U.S.N.O.T.S." which we believe may correspond to the U.S. Naval Ordnance Testing Station in California. There is no U.S. flaming bomb proof. The revolver is chambered in .38 Special with a 2" barrel, it has been refinished and has now has a gray parkerized finish. This Colt is in Good condition, appearing to have spent more time in the field rather than in a safe. This will make for a good carry revolver but also will be a nice addition to a Colt revolver collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding! Robert

Lot #54 (Sale Order 54 of 391)
1947-1948 Colt Official Police .38 Special Double Action Revolver
Our Assessment: A "successor" to the Army Special, the Official Police varied only in minor ways, such as the name and markings (the Official Police even retained the serial numbering of the Army revolver). Colt saw the majority of their "Army" revolvers going to police departments, and to paraphrase the Apostle Matthew, "Give not that which is holy unto the [Army],". Colt simply focused their marketing efforts on the buyer that was buying. A few other minor changes that are worth mentioning are the rear sight going from a U-notch configuration to a square-notch, and the top strap being dulled for glare reduction. In one hell of an understatement, Colt referred to the Official Police in advertisements as "Most acceptable,". Indeed. Despite being more than 60 years old, this revolver is still in nearly Fine condition with a bright bore. It should still make for a great working revolver today but would be indispensable to a serious Colt collection. Good luck in your bidding!

Our Assessment: This a Colt New Line .22 Revolver, made in 1876. The revolver is particularly interesting as it has factory engraving and a legible etched-panel on the barrel. About 16,000 1st Model pistols were made between 1873 and early 1876, with over 39,000 of the 2nd Models produced in 1876 and 1877. Colt stopped producing these cute little pocket pistols due to overwhelming competition from cheaply made "suicide specials". This revolver will be a nice find for collectors of early Colt revolvers.

Mechanics: The cylinder can be pushed out of lock fairly easily. Otherwise, the action functions correctly. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a more thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Our Assessment: The Police Positive .38 was the successor to Colt's Lightning Double Action model. It was introduced in 1905 and offered a more powerful alternative to Colt's New Police model. They quickly became popular due to their swing-out cylinder greatly reducing reloading time and smaller frame, convenient to carry while out on the town. The "Positive" refers to the positive locking system on the cylinder which ensures a solid lockup while the trigger is depressed, a feature which would continue through Colt's Serpent series. The Colt Police Positive Special was basically the same revolver as the Police Positive, except it had a longer cylinder for the .38 Special cartridge, and a slightly longer frame to hold it. It is interesting that they could afford to make both versions at the same time, and that they could find a market for both, but this finally changed after WWII with everyone wanting the more potent cartridge, and the Police Positive was dropped about the same time as the 3rd Issue Police Positive Special came out. This early Police Positive Special was made in 1922. It has a well preserved blued finish and a 4" barrel and chambered in .38 Special. It comes equipped with nice black checkered grips. The revolver is in Superb condition with about 96% of its original finish remaining, it has a bright bore and strong mechanics. This vintage Colt is exceedingly well made, it is impressive for a 100+ year old revolver. All vintage Colts are collectible, and this one will certainly be no exception. This well maintained Police Positive is a must have for any Colt or revolver collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding! Robert

Our Assessment: The Police Positive was introduced in 1907 to fill a demand from the law enforcement market for a compact revolver. Chambered for either the .32 or .38 caliber, the revolvers were fairly small, especially for a 6-round cylinder, and they saw great success in both the police and commercial markets. This example was made in 1922 and is chambered for ".38 Police", which is the same as .38 S&W but Colt was loath to place their competitor's name on their own products. It was issued to the Detroit Police, who apparently had a penchant for nickel-plated revolvers. even into the 1960s, one can find Detroit Police Positive revolvers. This revolver shows signs of use over the last century, but still retains strong mechanics, a good bore and original finish. It will make a nice addition to a revolver or police sidearm collection.

The cartridge, also unique, plays an important part in sealing the gun to prevent the escape of propellant gasses. The Nagant's sealed firing system meant that the Nagant revolver, unlike most other revolvers, could make effective use of a sound suppressor Nagant revolvers were used by the NKVD and Red Army units until the end of World War II, with a total of 2,000,000 produced.

Our Assessment: This revolver is in about Very Good overall condition.This revolver's markings include a W&S flying bullet, Webley Fosbery on the top strap and matching serial numbers on the frame and cylinder. This a wonderful example of a very desirable firearm. The Webley Fosbery is one of the most interesting firearms ever designed in which it was a stop-gap between revolvers and a Semi Automatic pistol. It has been called the answer to a question that no one asked, and was probably a decade too late. The front of the barrel is pushed-back to cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder. When the revolver fires, the barrel will move backwards under recoil, cocking the hammer and rotating the cylinder automatically. The British Army rejected the idea but these were bought by British Officers before, during and after WWI until 1924 when production ceased. They were very popular with colonial officers for their caliber and ease of firing. They were also very accurate as opposed to the double action revolvers of the time. These revolvers are scarce and growing more so every year. If you are interested in Webleys, revolvers, or Semi Automatic pistols, don't miss out on this revolver as you have the best of all three!

WWII Webley Mark IV .38 S&W 1942-1943 War Finish Double Action Revolver
Lot #62 (Sale Order 62 of 391)
WWII Webley Mark IV .38 S&W 1942-1943 War Finish Double Action Revolver
Our Assessment: This Webley and Scott designed Mark IV Revolver has an interesting genesis. At the end of WWI the British government concluded that the .455 caliber cartridge was no longer suited for service and that a new cartridge was needed. The new service caliber was .38 firing a 200-grain bullet (hence the designation .38/200; the cartridge is almost identical to .38 Smith & Wesson). Webley & Scott did not take long to present a service revolver chambered for the cartridge. Much to their dismay the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield developed a nearly identical revolver, the Enfield No. 2 Mk. 1, and despite the external similarities the Enfield and Webley had completely different internal mechanisms and their parts were not interchangeable. Webley and Scott felt they were being slighted by the government and filed a complaint over the issue. The government claimed that the revolver had originally been designed by Captain Henry C. Boys, and thus Webley and Scott were not owed any compensation. Following some wrangling, Webley & Scott were purportedly awarded 1,250 pounds (half of what they had requested in damages). The firm had lost their military contract, for it was cheaper for the British Army to use guns made at a government arsenal, and Webley and Scott began to focus on commercial sales. Despite this, when WWII broke out the British military was in dire need of arms and approximately 126,000 Mark IV Webley & Scott revolvers were ordered during the conflict. The Mark IV remained a popular revolver on the commercial market until it was discontinued sometime between 1978-79.This particular Webley Mark IV was MANUFACTURED originally for service during WWII. It has the distinct "WAR FINISH" stamp on the left side of the frame which indicates it was pressed into service during the conflict, the mark was placed by Webley & Scott to indicate to users that a higher quality finish could be expected during peacetime production of the handgun. The gun also has surviving British government markings further indicating the gun was accepted for military service. The gun was eventually retired and it was reproofed by the London Proof House for commercial sales. This gun is a solid option for WWII history aficionados and fans of historical firearms.

Lot #63 (Sale Order 63 of 391)
Post-War Webley Mark IV .38 S&W Double Action Revolver, MFD 1954-57
Our Assessment: This revolver is in Very Good overall condition. This a nice example of a post war Mark IV, but has import marks on the underside of the barrel. At the end of the First World War, the British military decided that the .455 caliber revolver and cartridge was too large for modern military use and concluded after numerous tests and extensive trials, that a pistol in .38 caliber firing a 200-grain bullet would be just as effective as the .455 for stopping an enemy. This resulted in the development of the Mark IV which was used extensively throughout WWII. This will make a nice addition to a collection of Webleys and can also be used for home protection.

This a fantastic example of a post-war M&P. This model was probably the most often carried by police officers from the 1940's to the 1960's.

Sharp 1952 Smith & Wesson 38/44 Heavy Duty .38 Special 4" Revolver & Box
Lot #73 (Sale Order 73 of 391)
Sharp 1952 Smith & Wesson 38/44 Heavy Duty .38 Special 4" Revolver & Box
Our Assessment: While the K and even smaller J-frames would become those most commonly associated with .38 Special Smith & Wessons, when the cartridge was undergoing development to become more potent, the more stout N-frame was chosen to chamber the new round. The company wanted a hotter and more powerful .38, the first round was the .38/44, a hot loaded .38 Special that was later renamed the .38-44 S&W Special and finally known as the .38 Special High Velocity. To handle the added pressures, the company selected the beefy N-Frame. These revolvers became the .38/44, offered in the Heavy Duty configuration with fixed sights and the Outdoorsman version with target sights. The name .38/44 was simple enough as it was a .38 Caliber revolver built on a .44 Caliber frame, the N-Frame had originally come about to handle the .44 S&W Special. This example was produced in 1952 a few years before it was renamed the Model 20. This would make a great shooter but will be a great addition to a Smith & Wesson collection. As Smith & Wesson continued to develop rounds, the end result was the glorious .357 Magnum. Without the .38/44 we may never have gotten one of the most iconic calibers ever, besides just being a badass .38 on an N-Frame, this an awesome piece of firearms history!

1948 Smith & Wesson K-22 Masterpiece Pre-Model 17 .22 LR 6" Double Action Revolver
Our Assessment: The Model 17 was first produced as the K-22 Masterpiece in the Pre-War days before Smith & Wesson implemented the number system to their guns. It is a fun rimfire revolver built on a full-size K-Frame. The design was massively popular as its .22 chambering was perfect for use as an outdoorsman's kit gun, and with its K-Frame also dominated target shooting and training for centerfire K-Frame revolvers. The revolver would go on to be named the Model 17 in 1957. Introduced in 1931, the K-22 saw a few improvements such as the now-iconic micrometer adjustable rear sight introduced in the 2nd Model and the barrel rib introduced on this, the 3rd Model K-22 Masterpiece or Pre-Model 17.This 1948 example is from before they started marking the model numbers and is in Very Good condition with about 75% of its finish remaining, a great bore in its 6" barrel paired with magna stocks. The revolver is one of the early revolvers known as a five screw model. At some point, the S&W accountants got involved and likely asked how they could cut costs. The side plate was switched to groove and tongue, the top screw was deleted, an engineer was patted on the back, and an era was ended. The deletion of the "fifth screw" marked the start of a never-ending cost-cutting arms race that continues to this day. The fourth screw in the front of the trigger guard was next to go. Did either of these changes hurt the gun? Certainly not, some of the best shooters in the world are burning it down with three screw Smith & Wesson's and they do great! There is just something special about these old revolvers, they were made by true craftsmen who wanted to stake their reputation on designing and producing the best possible product, costs be damned. If you have handled or shot one of these old revolvers, you know that your modern S&W might shoot just as good, but these older guns have subtle nuances that are there nonetheless.This particular revolver will make a great gun for what originally made the design so popular, target shooting, recreational plinking, or use as a training revolver to save some money on centerfire ammo. With its 5-screw frame, pinned barrel and classic look, they quite literally do not make them like this anymore. This a wonderful opportunity at an old-school Smith & Wesson with all of the quality craftsmanship they were known for in the early post-war years. Please see our photos and good luck!

Lot #79 (Sale Order 79 of 391)
1956-1957 Smith & Wesson The .44 Magnum Pre-Model 29 6.5" 5 Screw Coke Bottle Grip Revolver & Case
Our Assessment: Developed in a collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Remington with the input of big-bore handgun shooters including Elmer Keith, The .44 Magnum revolver and cartridge took the revolver world by storm in the 1950s, later to be known worldwide, even outside the firearms community, as "the most powerful handgun in the world" due to its portrayal in the Dirty Harry movies. This Smith & Wesson's famous "The .44 Magnum" built on a 4-screw square butt N-Frame paired with a 6 1/2? barrel. This revolver has a nice blued finish, with a wide serrated case-colored trigger and wide checkered hammer. The Smith & Wesson model number scheme was introduced in 1957, the Model 29 was not marked as such until 1958 (S&W Standard Catalog 4th ed. pg 191). This one is a 5-screw model late in the range, the standard catalog states that the range for 5-screw models is S130000 to S167500 but 5-screw models have been seen as high as S174500. The standard catalog also states that the serial numbers were not marked on some of the parts of later 4-screws which would account for the lack of markings on this one since it just happens to be one of the few 5-screw models in the 4-screw range. This one looks great and has minimal wear. No collection is complete without a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum so you might as well make it this one. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Rick Hacker's Smith & Wesson The .357 Registered Magnum 6 1/2" Revolver, Certificate, Tube & Box
Our Assessment:The grandson of Smith & Wesson co-founder Daniel Wesson, Col. Douglas Wesson, collaborated with Phil Sharpe and Elmer Keith, both renowned handloading experts, and set out to develop a cartridge that could propel a projectile at 1400 fps with muzzle energy of more than 700 ft. lbs. and the .357 Magnum, the first of the magnums, was born. Smith & Wesson developed a revolver around the cartridge on their N frame with initial production being entirely on a special order basis. The revolvers could be ordered with barrel lengths from 3 1/2" to 8 3/4" available in 1/4" increments, choice of sights, grips, finish, and even hammer profile. early production guns were presented to luminaries such as J. Edgar Hoover, John Olin, Phil Sharpe, George S. Patton and Ed McGivern. These early .357s would be built to the customer's specifications and shipped out with a registration card which could be returned to request a registration certificate, giving the new firearm the name "Registered Magnum".
This a beautiful example of one of the Rarest and most sought-after revolvers ever made by the world's premier revolver manufacturer, Smith & Wesson. Additional paperwork included with this gun include 1) a letter from S&W Historian Roy Jinks to gunwriter Rick Hacker confirming the gun’s history and authenticity, copies of factory records showing the original purchase order for this gun from American Sporting Goods Co, and subsequent corresondance between Imse and Smith & Wesson.

Our Assessment: The Mauser Model HSc pistols were made by the Germans during WWII and later by the French when they took over their factory and tooling. It was originally intended as Mauser's response to the Walther PPK, and the HSc competed with the Walther and Sauer 38H pistols for police and military use. This a late WWII production model with a late war blued finish, smooth sighting plane, and no provision for a lanyard. The NSDAP party members could purchase pistols privately which would not bear a Waffenamt and it was also possible for civilians, especially in occupied territories, to own pistols due to the threat of partisans. This one bears commercial eagle over N proofs and also has a Nazi Police eagle over swastika and "L" on the frame. This second variation police model has matching parts numbers on the slide, barrel, and frame. It one looks good and should appeal to those who have an interest in WWII or NSDAP weapons but will also make a nice shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!

WWI Mauser C96 Broomhandle Red Nine 9mm Pistol & Shoulder Stock
Lot #89 (Sale Order 89 of 391)
Our Assessment: The Broomhandle Model 1896 Mauser is certainly an interesting looking firearm, and the "Red Nine" variants are the most distinctive of any pistol made. During WWI Mauser had two contracts with the military, the first for 7.63mm pistols and the second for 9mm pistols. It soon became apparent that two nearly identical guns with dissimilar ammo was not a good idea. In December 1917, a decision was made to burn a large "9" into the grips and fill them in red paint, with those already issued to be similarly marked in the field, thus creating three variants of the 9mm pistols: those with no marks on the grips, those with factory "nines" and those with "nines" added in the field. This pistol is a 9mm Military Contract with factory burned "nines" in the grips. The serial numbers are all matching, including those stamped into the grips, and the pistol has the correct "New Safety" and an Army acceptance mark on the right side of the barrel extension. The pistol still has its lanyard ring attached to the butt, and to complete the package for the discerning collector, it comes with a wooden shoulder stock/holster serialized to the pistol and a leather holster for the shoulder stock made by Arn Hoffmann of Berlin in 1916. The pistol is about Fine condition with 96% of its current finish remaining. It may have been refinished, we don’t see any obvious signs, but the finish is of higher quality than we have seen on previous examples. The bore is gray with light wear in the rifling and very light erosion scattered throughout the bore. There were only about 141000 of this model made, with a little less than two thirds having factory marked grips, and one can only guess as to what number survived the trench warfare of WWI. This a Rare pistol that is sure to be of interest to the serious collectors.

(References show that the grip grooves changed from fine (32) to coarse (23) through production, and that grips in the 57XXX to 71XXX serial number range used 27 grooves. Also, "field" nines appear to be below SN 50,000 while "factory" nines appear in the 70,000+ range. There are several light scratches and a few tiny dings in the smooth areas. The grips are in about Fine overall condition.
Type of Finish: The pistol is blued. The safety and extractor have a fire blued finish and the bolt, lock frame and hammer are "In The White".
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The bore is gray with light wear in the rifling. The is light erosion scattered throughout the bore.
Overall Condition: This pistol retains about 96% of its current metal finish. There are wire wheel marks under the finish of the barrel, barrel extension and magazine. There is thinning on the underside of the barrel and on the edges of the barrel extension, bolt stop, and frame. There are several light handling marks under and in the finish of the barrel and barrel extension. There is a ding in the top of the bolt at the back of the extractor. The knurling on the push-button release on the rear sight slider is sharp, the serrations on the hammer are sharp, the serrations on the bolt show light to moderate wear and the safety serrations are sharp. The grip screw is sharp and the markings are clear. Overall, this pistol rates in about Fine condition as possibly re-finished.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a lanyard ring, a wooden shoulder stock/holster, a leather holster for the stock and a wooden handled cleaning rod. The shoulder stock wood has an oak colored satin finish and the metal parts are blued. The back of the holster between the two belt loops is marked "ARN HOFFMAN / BERLIN / 1916".

Our Assessment: This example is quite interesting as it has non-standard numbering and proof marking locations. The second of the three volume series "Pistole Parabellum" by Joachim Gortz and Geoffrey L. Sturgess notes what they referred to as "Some Bizarre Post-WWI Parabellums" with "non-suffixed serial numbers of one to four digits of various, sometimes bizarre, configurations". The book notes irregular application of proof marks, use of both military and commercial pre-war components, and the photographed examples include a carbine much like this one. In the tumultuous times of post-WWI Germany, it's understandable that even a firm as large as DWM would have some inconsistency, so this may well just be the product of those circumstances. We do believe that the buttstock has been refinished and it is not serial-marked, but it is a handsome example of a Luger Carbine. Please see our photos and good luck!
Make: DWM
Model: Pistole Parabellum, Luger Pistol/Carbine
Serial Number: 9472
Year of Manufacture: The frame appears to have been made between 1914 and 1917. Assembly to its current configuration was most likely performed 1919-1921.
Caliber: .30 Luger (7.65×21mm Parabellum)
Action Type: Semi-Auto Pistol
Markings: The front toggle is marked "DWM". The serial number or the last two digits are marked on the left of the barrel extension, the sear, extractor, bolt each toggle link, firing pin, sideplate, trigger, takEdown lever, safety arm, bolt stop and the inside of each grip panel. Assembly number "11" is marked on the forend wedge, the bottom of the barrel and the barrel extension's lug. There are crown/N proof marks on the top of the bolt, each toggle link, the right of the barrel and the right of the barrel extension. There are no import marks.
Barrel Length: 12"
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a beaded blade dovetailed to a serrated, ramped base fixed to the barrel. The rear sight is a four-position "U"-notch which slides in a banded base fixed to the rear of the barrel. The sight arm is released with a button on the left of the base, allowing it to be slid to each position. There is no rear sight on the rear toggle link.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The grips are two-piece checkered wood. A tang has been mounted to the front of the frame for the wedge-secured checkered walnut forend which has a schnabel tip. There is an included checkered walnut buttstock with smooth steel buttplate which can be mounted to the frame’s stock lug (we have not tested the fit as it is not legal to install the stock in California). The grips show light handling wear with some spots of compressed checkers and a few light nicks and scratches. The checkering is generally well defined. There are no chips or cracks. The forend has similar light wear. The buttstock has checkering which appears to have been chased or cut outside the DWM factory with scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The wood is generally well fit to the metal, but notably shy at the toe and slightly shy at the heel. Overall, the grips are in Very Good-plus condition, the forend is Very Good and the buttstock is in about Very Good condition as refinished and/or not original to the gun.
Type of Finish: Blue & Straw
Finish Originality: This pistol was most likely re-worked in the post-WWI era. See Our Assessment.
Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is some minor erosion in the bore, mostly at the muzzle-end. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8 out of 10.Many military and C&R-eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide.
Overall Condition: This pistol retains about 90% of its current metal finish. The finish is generally strong throughout. There is some light operational wear and some scattered minor oxidation. There is some scattered minor erosion, mostly on the right of the frame. There are some scattered light nicks and scuffs. The action shows light operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to lightly tool marked with strong slots. The markings are generally clear, the toggle proof marks are poorly struck. Overall, this pistol is in about Good condition (see Mechanics).
Mechanics: Something about the fit of the sideplate, trigger and sear makes it inconsistent to drop the striker when the trigger is pressed.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a non-serialized stock assembly and a single non-matching wood floorplate magazine.

WWII Mauser 42 Code P.08 Luger 9mm Semi Auto Pistol
Our Assessment:Certainly one of the most iconic military sidearms of the 20th Century, the P.08 Luger served the German military in both World Wars and variants saw service in other countries. This example is in about Good overall condition. It was produced by Mauser in 1942 and was known as the "Black Widow" because of its dark salt blue finish. The parts are all serial matching with a "byf" code for Mauser on the front toggle, the correct eagle holding a globe with swastika inspection mark on the right side of the barrel and a "eagle / 135" Waffenamt on the left side. The inspection marks on the right side of the receiver are not legible. This pistol will display well, at least from the left side, for those who prefer the "been there, done that" appearance. If the collectors don't take enough notice, it can be used for home protection.

WWI German DWM P.08 Luger 9mm Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: Certainly one of the most iconic military sidearms of the 20th Century, the P.08 Luger served the German military in both World Wars and variants saw service in other countries. This example was produced by DWM in 1915 during the Great War. Produced at the beginning of the war, it shows wear consistent with its age and service, but retains matching numbered parts including the magazine. There is a touch-up on the left of the barrel, but it is otherwise all original with all the correct markings. This a nice find for WWI firearms collectors and for Luger collectors in particular as you don't find very many that survived two world wars in this nice of a condition.
Make: DWM
Model: P.08 Luger
Serial Number: 4426f
Year of Manufacture: 1915
Caliber: 9mm Luger
Action Type: Single Action Semi-Automatic with Toggle-Link Action
Markings: The front of the receiver is marked "1915", the front toggle is marked with a scripted "DWM", the underside of the barrel and the front of the frame are marked "4426/f" and the right side of the receiver is marked with three crowned scripted characters and an Imperial eagle "Army proof mark" There is also a proof mark on the left side of the breechblock and at the top right rear of the barrel. All of the small parts are marked "26" and the left side of the receiver is marked "4426".
Barrel Length: 4"
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a serrated ramp dovetailed into a base on the barrel. The rear sight is a" V" notch at the top of the rear toggle.
Grip Configuration & Condition: The grips are checkered walnut and are not serialized. The grips are dark with oil staining. The checkering shows light to moderate wear with heavier wear at the bottom edges of the grips. There are a few mars in the checkering with a tiny chip missing at the top rear corner of the left grip. The grips rate in about Very Good overall condition.
Type of Finish: The finish is blued. The trigger, ejector and the right side of the magazine release are straw colored, and the toggle link pin and the trigger bar spring have a fire blue finish.
Finish Originality: The finish is original except for the barrel, which has been touched up in spots with cold blue.
Bore Condition: The bore is bright with light wear in the rifling. There is no erosion in the bore.
Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 70% of its metal finish. There is finish loss on the edges of the receiver and frame, with thinning in the remainder, with the receiver and sideplate having a somewhat mottled look.There are also a few small spots of finish loss in the front strap. There is pitting under the finish along the left side of the barrel and surface erosion on the right side at the muzzle. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are sharp except for the proof marks which are faint. Overall, this handgun rates in about Very Good condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a more thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a total of one magazine that has a wooden bottom piece serialized to the pistol. The magazine is in about Fine Plus condition.
Our Assessment: This particular Luger was refurbished and/or fabricated during the Weimar-era for commercial sales. It is chambered for the 7.65mm Parabellum cartridge, has a 3 5/8" long barrel and is marked "GERMANY" in English; all characteristics associated with a refurbished handgun destined for commercial sales in other nations. Between 1921-1928 there were a number of Lugers that were both refurbished and fabricated specifically for export, primarily to the United States with its large commercial firearms market (hence the English language "GERMANY" marking). These commercial exports are referred to today as the "alphabet commercial" Lugers due to the serialization pattern applied to them and the lack of most other markings typically seen on Luger P.08 handguns. This specimen has some light wear but is in quite good shape given its age. There is some slight variance in the condition of the markings, so it is difficult to say whether the pistol has been refinished since coming to America or if some parts simply required a little more time on the wheel when they were re-worked at the factory. The sideplate has been replaced, but other serial-marked parts are matching. The pistol retains a more than decent bore and strong mechanics. This a great option for collectors of historical firearms and Luger fans. Good luck on your bid!
Action Type: Semi-Automatic Pistol (no magazine included)
Barrel Length: 3 5/8"
Sights / Optics: The front sight is serrated blade dovetailed to a banded base integral to the muzzle. The rear sight is a "V"-notch integral to the rear toggle link.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The grip panels are two-piece checkered wood. The grips have minor handling wear with a few light nicks and scuffs. The checkering is well defined. There are no chips or cracks. Overall, the grip panels are in Very Good-Fine condition as not original to the gun.
Type of Finish: Blue and Straw
Finish Originality: Refinished, the sideplate is not original to the gun.
Bore Condition: The bore is semi-bright with sharp rifling. There is some scattered minor erosion in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8 out of 10.Many military and C&R-eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide.
Overall Condition: The pistol retains about 92% of its current metal finish. The finish is thinning at some edges. There is some muting and handling wear in the strawed parts. There is infrequent minor surface oxidation, most notable on the sideplate. There are a few light nicks and small scratches. The action shows light operational wear. Most markings remain clear, the proof mark on the bolt is shallow and incomplete. The screwheads have light tool-marks with strong slots. Overall, the pistol is in Very Good-plus condition as refinished.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. There is barely perceptible play between the barrel assembly and frame. We did not fire this pistol. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None. Please note: no magazine is included.
Our Assessment: While the Luger saw extensive military use, there were also commercial sales both in Germany and abroad. After the Great War, the Allies imposed restrictions on the German arms industry, but there were still commercial Lugers produced such as this one. Most serial marked parts match and the pistol has been given a new high-polish blue finish so it looks great for its age. You will need to address the sear issue before firing.
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a serrated blade dovetailed to a base integral to a boss at the muzzle. The rear sight is a "V"-notch integral to the rear toggle link.

Lot #95 (Sale Order 95 of 391)
WWI German erfurt Imperial Arsenal 1918 P.08 Luger 9mm Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: This erfurt Arsenal made Luger was made in 1918, having Revisions-Commission markings and a flat at the front of the chamber ring. This flat was put on all late-production erfurt P.08 pistols to accommodate the adjustable rear sight of the Long or "Artillery" model pistols, whether or not they would actually have one installed. All of the serial numbers on the pistol are matching, including the grips and magazine, which is a nice find for the collectors. As 1918 wore on, hope was lost for the Imperial German Army and certain standards were loosened to increase production and get more arms to soldiers in the field. Finish was rougher, cosmetic or non-essential tolerance flaws were overlooked, and the Revisions-Commission would approve some pistols which had previously been turned down by inspectors.This pistol is in about Good condition. Cosmetically it looks great for its age, but there is some damage at the left-rear of the bolt which prevents removal of the firing pin. This an interesting find for Luger collectors and those with an interest in German military arms as used in WWI and WWII. Please see our photos and good luck!

Mauser Post-War Bolo C96 1896 Broomhandle 7.63x25mm Semi-Automatic Pistol with Shoulder Stock
Our Assessment: The Broomhandle Model 1896 Mauser is certainly an interesting looking firearm. Its features are the most distinctive of any other pistol. In addition to being popularized in Soviet films as the iconic weapon of the Russian revolution and civil war, it was even used as a basis for futuristic weapons like the blaster used by Han Solo in Star Wars. This pistol is a Post-War Bolo. It has been refinished, so it looks great for its age. The gun is in pretty good shape overall apart from the bore, though the bore condition is somewhat typical considering the history of these pistols, many of which were used in China and Russia during their conflicts in the early 20th Century. The serialized parts match with the exception of the sear, though the included stock/holster does not. This pistol should appeal to anyone who always wanted to own a Broomhandle, and for the collectors this a neat example of the Post-War Bolo. Please see our photos and good luck!

Lot #98 (Sale Order 98 of 391)
Correct WWI Broomhandle Mauser C96 Red Nine 9mm Pistol
Our Assessment: The Broomhandle Model 1896 Mauser is certainly an interesting looking firearm, and the "Red Nine" variants are the most distinctive of any pistol made. During WWI Mauser had two military contracts, the first for 7.63mm pistols and the second for 9mm pistols. Two identical guns with dissimilar ammo was not a good idea and in 1917, a decision was made to burn a large "9" into the grips of 9mm pistols, with those already issued to be similarly marked in the field, thus creating three variants of the 9mm pistols: those with no marks on the grips, with factory "nines" and with "nines" added in the field. This pistol is a 9mm Military Contract with factory "nines" in the grips. The numbers are all matching, including those stamped into the grips. There were about 141,000 of this model made and one can only guess as to what number survived the trench warfare of WWI. This a Rare pistol that is sure to be of interest to the serious collectors.
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a blade fixed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a "V"-notch tangent sight graduated from 50 to 500 meters and mounted to the top-rear of the barrel assembly.
Grip Configuration & Condition: The grips are serrated walnut with large red "9" burned into each panel. The grips have scattered wear with some nicks, dings, scuffs and scratches. The serrations are well defined. There are no chips or cracks. The grips rate in about Very Good overall condition.

WWII Nazi Marked Wehrmacht Spreewerk cyq P.38 Semi Automatic Pistol
Lot #99 (Sale Order 99 of 391)
WWII Nazi Marked Wehrmacht Spreewerk cyq P.38 Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: This particular specimen is a WWII-era P.38 that was made by the Spreewerk in 1944. The pistol is characteristic of mid-late war production specimens; it lacks the more thorough inspection marks seen on early production specimens. The handgun was made at Spreewerk (evidenced by the "cyq" code and Waffenamts). The Spreewerk GmbH was a German firm that produced war material for the Wehrmacht during WWII. The firm's operations were spread across the Reich starting in Spandau during the mid-1930s and expanding into Grottau, part of Czechoslovakia that fell under German control when the territory was annexed by the Third Reich. The Spreewerk began to make P.38s in 1942 and continued to produce them until the Red Army captured its facilities at the end of WWII. This handgun comes from this chaotic period, and indeed it appears to have been captured by the Soviets. The "X" marking on the left of the frame is typical of these captured pistols as is the "dip" colt blue finish found on all of the parts, including those left unfinished when the pistol was originally manufactured. This may also explain the presence of Walther grips on the pistol, as many of these pistols had some parts replaced when the Soviets refurbished them. Apart from the grips, all of the other serial marked parts are matching and don't appear to have been "force-matched" as the Soviets were also known to do. The result is a pistol which has a lot of history behind it and would make a great addition to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Bore Condition: The bore is gray with well defined rifling. There is scattered light erosion in the bore with some pitting in the grooves. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 5 or 6 out of 10.Many military and C&R-eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide.
Overall Condition: The pistol retains about 90% of its current metal finish. The finish is generally strong with some scattered minor surface oxidation, mostly on the slide flats. The action shows minor operational wear. The screw head is sharp. The markings are generally clear, some of the German inspection marks are poorly struck. Overall, the pistol is in Very Good condition.

Argentine DGFM Sistema Colt Model 1927 .45 ACP 5" Semi Automatic Pistol
Lot #100 (Sale Order 100 of 391)
Argentine DGFM Sistema Colt Model 1927 .45 ACP 5" Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: In 1914, the Argentine military adopted the Colt M1911 as their standard military sidearm and contracted with Colt to supply these guns. Argentina took shipment of 2,151 of these weapons between 1914 and 1919. In 1923, Argentina adopted an armaments bill that would eliminate Argentine dependency on foreign arms. Under this bill, the Argentine Congress authorized appropriations for a military modernization program and prepared the infrastructure for a domestic arms industry. In accordance with the new law, an aircraft factory was established in 1927, a munitions factory in 1933, a small steel mill in 1934, and a small arms factory in 1936, all of which were managed by Argentine army officers. In 1927, the Argentine Commission for Foreign Acquisitions secured a licensing agreement giving the Argentine government the right to manufacture these pistols using drawings, material specifications, instructions, etc. supplied by Colt. Production of the Sistema Colts began in 1927, and 14,000 were produced by 1942. In 1945, a new factory (FMAP) was brought online and produced another 88,494 pistols through 1966. The Sistema Colts continued to be used in Argentina until the 1990s when they were replaced by Browning High Powers. The Sistema Colts were identical to 1911A1 pistols produced by Colt, and the parts were interchangeable. Top-quality steel was used in the construction, and they are known to be as tough and reliable as those made by Colt. This pistol was made at the FMAP factory and was issued to the Argentine Army. The pistol is in Very Good refinished condition with a decent bore and strong mechanics. The high quality of the Sistema Colts make them very collectable, especially ones like this with matching numbers.

FN Browning Model 1910 Belgian Military Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: This WWI Belgian military marked pistol is in about Fine overall condition. It was made just before WWI (as determined by the slide markings) and has a great bore.

A Model 1910, serial number 19074, chambered in .380 A.C.P. was the handgun used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, an act that arguably precipitated the First World War. This nice looking example was produced for the Belgian military and bears the military acceptance stamps. It is in fantastic condition for having survived WWI. If it escapes the collectors, it will make someone a nice little carry gun.

U.S. Property Marked 1940 Hi-Standard Model B .22LR Semi Auto Training Pistol
Our Assessment: When Hi Standard first started producing semi-auto pistols the first model they came out with was the Model B. The basic design was derived from an earlier Browning design, as was the Colt Woodsman. In fact, the Woodsman and the Model B look almost identical, although they are not. Although it was originally marketed as a plinker, the Model B turned out to be reliable, well made, and accurate. This one was made in 1940, and is a U.S. property marked. This Model B is in Nice condition, showing a great bore, strong mechanics and well preserved checkered grips. At the beginning of WWII, there was a demand for .22 caliber pistols to train new recruits in marksmanship. This one of those training pistols bearing the U.S. property marking and crossed cannon cartouche. This pistol is seldom found in this Nice condition and deserves to take its rightful place in a Hi-Standard collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding! Robert Make: High Standard

Smith & Wesson Model 1913 .35 S&W 3.5" Semi Automatic Pistol
Lot #115 (Sale Order 115 of 391)
Smith & Wesson Model 1913 .35 S&W 3.5" Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: This a Smith & Wesson Model 1913 .35 Semi-Auto Pistol from the early 1900s. There were eight different versions of this pistol based on small changes in the design between 1913 and 1921. The original design was based on Charles Philibert Clement's Model 1903 pistol chambered in 5mm Clement, and features the recoil spring located above the barrel to minimize muzzle flip. This pistol has two unique features: a grip safety on the front strap and a button on the slide used to reduce the effort required to pull the slide back. The pistol was designed to compete with Colts Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless pistol, but by the time it was released, the Colt was too popular and the availability of its .32 ACP cartridge made potential buyers skeptical of a non-standard cartridge. The pistol ceased production in 1921 after about 8350 pistols had been manufactured. This pistol is in nice shape and comes with one magazine to get you started, with only 8350 made, it is somewhat Rare and likely to end up in a S&W collection or collection of early American automatics. This a historic Smith & Wesson and was their only foray into the semi-automatic pistol market until over two decades later when they rekindled their interest and geared up to make the model 39. The cartridges for this pistol are obsolete, but cases may be made from cut-down .30 M1 Carbine cases. Please see our photos and good luck!

Savage Arms Co. 1899 C Standard .38-55 WCF 26" Half Octagonal Lever Action Rifle
Lot #116 (Sale Order 116 of 391)
Savage Arms Co. 1899 C Standard .38-55 WCF 26" Half Octagonal Lever Action Rifle
Our Assessment: The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have quite a history. They were preceded by the Model 1895, which was the first hammerless lever-action rifle produced. A hammerless action was useful as it reduces the lock time, allows the rifle to be fired more accurately and is less likely to jam in brush or snag in clothing. The 1895 and 1899/99 models used a rotary magazine to hold the cartridges, using a spring-loaded spool with grooves. The 1899/99 models added a counter to the spool to indicate how many rounds are loaded. This design allowed the use of spitzer bullets, which could not be used in many of the competing lever action rifles of the times because the pointed tips in the tubular magazines could cause an accidental discharge. This gave Savage a lead in producing rifles that could handle high-velocity smokeless powder cartridges with bullets offering flatter trajectories than other lever-action designs. This rifle has a 26" half round half octagonal barrel and comes with iron sights. This a nice vintage rifle that will be a welcome addition to a C&R or lever-action rifle collection!

Winchester Model 55 Takedown 24" .30-30 WCF Lever Action Rifle, 1927
Our Assessment: By the early 1920's, Winchester's Model 94 rifle was losing sales, and in 1924 Winchester introduced an updated version of the Model 94 rifle dubbed the Model 55. The Winchester Model 55 was a rifle with a 24-inch barrel, a half-magazine that held three cartridges and was a takedown rifle which was convenient for storage and transport. It was initially chambered only in .30-30 Win., but .25-35 Win. and .32 Win. Spl. were added in 1926. For the first few years, the Model 55 carried its own set of serial numbers. eventually, Winchester started producing Models 55 with a solid frame, using Model 94 receivers and serialized in the established Model 94 range. In 1932, with approximately 20,500 guns made, the Model 55 was discontinued to make way for the Winchester Model 64. This rifle was made in 1927, with a takedown action and serialized in the Model 94 serial range. The rifle has honest wear consistent with its age, but it still retains a strong bore and mechanics. This rifle could be heading back out in the field to drop some deer but would also help round out a collection missing the Model 55. Please see our photos and good luck!

Sharp Pre-1931 Savage Model 1920 .300 Savage 24" Bolt Action Rifle
Lot #144 (Sale Order 144 of 391)
Sharp Pre-1931 Savage Model 1920 .300 Savage 24" Bolt Action Rifle
Our Assessment: The Savage 1920 is the first bolt action sporting rifle offered by a major arms company anywhere in the world. Designed on the heels of World War I, Savage believed that returning soldiers would create a market for bolt-action rifles, as they had been the primary rifle type through the conflict. The firearms market at the time was dominated by lever action and pump action rifles. Bolt action rifles that were in use at the time were modified or ‘sporterized' military rifles, with the work often performed by their owners or a gunsmith. Savage offered something that was ready for the hunt square out of the box, and it proved to be popular. It's broadly accepted that around 13,000 were produced, but sadly, records were destroyed in a fire and it is impossible to nail down precisely when this rifle was manufactured. Given its age, this example is in great condition, and will doubtlessly be a nice addition to any collection. In overall Very Good condition, all visible wear is consistent with normal use and it is obvious that this rifle has seen its share of honest work and care. Mechanically, things are in good working order, and the bore is solid. Do not miss a chance to own a fine piece of American firearm history! Please see our photos and good luck!

H&R Reising Model 65 Commercial .22 LR 23" Semi Automatic Rifle & Sling
Our Assessment: This Harrington & Richardson Model 65 Reising is a semi-automatic .22 caliber training rifle which was MANUFACTURED at the end of WWII. The genesis of this gun originates with the need for a .22 caliber training rifle for the US Marine Corps as they were late recipients of the M1 Garand service rifles. In 1944, Harrington and Richardson introduced the Reising Model 65 as a training rifle for the Marine Corps, but it was only produced from 1944-45 and a limited quantity were eventually produced for commercial sales. This rifle was a commercial rifle and lacks any military markings. Aside from some light handling wear, this particular specimen is well preserved and remains mechanically sound. The rifle can be used for plinking, but more importantly, it is a WWII-era historical relic. We expect this rifle to garner a lot of collector attention, especially for those focused on .22 training rifle platforms. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!

Our Assessment: The M1 Carbine was developed and produced after WWII started. Over 6 million were made by a number of U.S. companies to assist with the all-out war effort. The M1 Carbine was widely issued to U.S. Military Forces which numbered over 16 million during WWII. The M1 Carbine contributed greatly to U.S. efforts during WWII. After the Korean War a number of commercial companies developed their own M1 Carbines for sales to the civilian market. Initially, surplus USGI parts were used as much as possible. As those supplies dried up companies produced their own parts. Alpine Industries was one of the companies that produced Post WWII M1 Carbines. Alpine Industries was incorporated in California in March 1959. On May 5, 1960 Alpine Sales and National Ordnance were incorporated. National Ordnance produced M1 Carbines and sold a percentage of their M1 Carbines to Alpine Sales who resold them at a profit. Operationally, Alpine was the sales division of National Ordnance. This M1 Carbine was produced with an Alpine receiver, barrel, and stock. Most of the remaining parts are USGI parts including the 2 magazines.

WWII Arisaka Type 99 Last Ditch Matching 7.7 Japanese Bolt Action Rifle 1943-45
Lot #154 (Sale Order 154 of 391)
WWII Arisaka Type 99 Last Ditch Matching 7.7 Japanese Bolt Action Rifle 1943-45
Our Assessment: The Type 99 Arisaka rifle was used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It was named after its designer, Colonel Nariakira Arisaka. The Type 99 was a reliable and durable weapon, but it was heavy and difficult to operate in confined spaces. It was used extensively in the Pacific Theater and some were also used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. This "Last Ditch" Type 99 Arisaka was made at the Nagoya Arsenal sometime between 1943 and 1945. The rifle was made with cost & time saving shortcuts that include a lack of "Type 99" markings, simple sights, short handguard, wooden buttplate, and rough metal work. The bolt is also a "last ditch" bolt made with a simplified safety (no decorative metal work) and a straight bolt handle. These are indicative of the cost cutting and accelerated production measures used to turn out rifles as the end of the war approached. This "Last Ditch" Type 99 is in pretty Good shape, showing a decent bore and has a well preserved stock. The chrysanthemum has been removed. The bolt assembly is marked with the last 3 digits of the serial number on the handle, extractor, firing pin, and safety. This last ditch Type 99 Arisaka will go well in any military or Japanese collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

Many military and C&R eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide. For example, the U.S. used corrosive ammunition throughout WWII. The U.S. military did not begin to phase out corrosive-primed ammunition until the 1950's.
Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 0% of its metal finish. The metal shows a brown patina and light surface erosion, there are some scuffs and scratches. The screw heads are sharp. Most markings are clear. Overall, this rifle rates in about Fair to Good condition.

Our Assessment: The Remington Sportsman is a variant of the Model 11 which was the first auto-loading shotgun made in the USA, originally as the "Remington Autoloading Shotgun(1905-1910)" before it was changed to the Model 11 in 1911. The Remington Sportsman shotgun shares the same basic action as the Model 11, The Browning A5 and the Savage 720. The model has been a staple of sportsmen all over the world since its inception and is a truly classic design. This one is a solid rib model chambered for 16 gauge and has a lot of finish remaining. It has some scattered light cosmetic wear but a good bore and mechanics. This will be a great shotgun for clay and flesh birds alike and should be a reliable shooter for decades to come. Please see our photos and good luck!

1957 Colt 2nd Generation 12" .45 Single Action Army Buntline Revolver
Lot #175 (Sale Order 175 of 391)
1957 Colt 2nd Generation 12" .45 Single Action Army Buntline Revolver
Our Assessment: everyone should have a Colt Single Action Army, and this would be a nice one to add to any collection. MANUFACTURED in 1957, this revolver is a Buntline Special chambered in the classic .45 Colt cartridge, the original chambering for the SAA and with a 12" barrel. It is in Fine condition, with some scratching on the cylinder and a few scattered light marks. The bore is great and the mechanics are strong. Serial numbers are matching and the Buntline Barrel number on the bottom of the barrel matching this early Buntline Special. The Buntline designation originally referred to any SAA with a barrel longer than the longest standard length of 7 1/2". They were originally only available by special order with the pre-war guns being quite Rare. When the Buntline Special was reintroduced as a standard configuration in 1957, starting in the 12400SA range, the barrels were marked with a "Buntline Barrel" number starting with BB 100 to prevent nefarious characters from pulling the barrels and installing them on 1st generation guns to pass them off as pre-war buntlines. Though Colt also sold BB marked barrels separately, we have confirmed that this number is correct and will accept a return with full refund including shipping and any fees if you find that it is not correct. This going to be popular with collectors, a 2nd Generation Buntline Special in this high condition and with matching numbers doesn't come around every day. Please see our photos and good luck!

Rare Colt Single Action Army 3rd Generation Buntline Special Revolver
Lot #176 (Sale Order 176 of 391)
Rare Colt Single Action Army 3rd Generation Buntline Special Revolver
Our Assessment: The Colt Buntline Special is a long-barreled variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which Stuart N. Lake described in his best-selling but largely fictionalized 1931 biography "Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal". According to Lake, the dime novelist Ned Buntline commissioned the production of six Buntline Specials equipped with 12" barrels and presented them to five lawmen as well as to Buffalo Bill Cody in thanks for their help in contributing local color to his western yarns. Two of the recipients were supposed to be Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, but there is no record of them ever owning such handguns. That didn't stop Hollywood from equipping Hugh O'Brian with a Buntline Special when he played Wyatt Earp in the TV series "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp". The Buntline Special was never made by Colt as a standard model, but they did make short runs of 2nd and 3rd Generation "Buntline Specials" as well as a "New Frontier Buntline Special" with adjustable sights. This example is in Great shape, showing light use. This a classic Single Action Army chambered for a classic cartridge in a very desirable configuration, she'll go nicely in any Colt collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

Desirable Custom Colt Cowboy Single Action All Blue Revolver & Box
Lot #177 (Sale Order 177 of 391)
Desirable Custom Colt Cowboy Single Action All Blue Revolver & Box
Our Assessment: Aimed at the Cowboy Action Shooting competitor, Colt's Cowboy model retains the appearance of the classic Single Action Army, but with some features more desirable to the competitor and recreational shooter including a transfer-bar safety mechanism. The blue finish has a medium polish instead of the high polish of the SAA and the frame is cast rather than forged, allowing the model to be offered at a notably lower price than the SAA. Introduced in 1999, the Cowboy had a fairly short production run. As with many such models, their short production run makes them a desirable model for the collector who wants one of each model produced by Colt and this example is in excellent condition. Coming in its original box, it will suit the collectors, but it was made for shooting and should prove equally suited to all of your .45 Colt revolver needs. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding! Please note: The case/sleeve label notes that the finish is blue/color case finish which is standard for the Colt Cowboy.

Colt Anaconda MM3060 .44 Magnum Double Action Ported Revolver, Box & Letter
Lot #225 (Sale Order 225 of 391)
1997 Colt Anaconda MM3060 6" .44 Magnum Double Action Ported Revolver, Box & Letter
Our Assessment: Colt introduced the Anaconda built on a new, heavy "AA" frame to compete with the Ruger Redhawk and S&W Model 29 revolvers. Our impression is that this revolver probably offers a smoother double action pull than the Ruger and is more rugged than the S&W. This revolver is great for hunting using .44 Magnum cartridges and with .44 Special for casual days at the range. This pistol comes in its original plastic case and with a letter from Colt. As this revolver has factory porting, it will be more comfortable to shoot than many .44 Magnums, but it will also make a tempting item for a Colt collection, especially with the box and letter. This revolver is in excellent condition with about 98% of its stainless finish and little sign of use. Please see our photos and good luck!

Very Rare 4" Colt Boa .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver, Model V5041
Lot #227 (Sale Order 227 of 391)
Very Rare 4" Colt Boa .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver, Model V5041
Our Assessment: This Boa is the 4" model and is in about excellent condition with a great bore. A common misconception of the Colt Boa is that it is a special version of the Colt Python revolver. In reality, the Boa was a cross between a Python and a Trooper Mk V. The Boa features the improvements of the Colt Trooper Mk V, including an improved smoother trigger with shorter lock-time. This Colt is a Rare and desirable revolver and much sought after by serious collectors of Colt revolvers. The Boa was made in a limited run of only 1,200 revolvers for the Lew Horton Distributing Company in Massachusetts of which 600 were made with 4" barrels and 600 with 6" barrels. The Colt Boa is one of the scarcest of the Colt "serpent" guns and this undoubtedly a terrific find for any serious Colt collector worth his salt! Colt collectors pay attention here one of only 600 produced and in 99% condition.

excellent Colt King Cobra SB3BB .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver & Box
Lot #239 (Sale Order 239 of 391)
excellent Colt King Cobra SB3BB .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver & Box
Our Assessment: One of Colt's "Seven Serpents", the original King Cobra was a medium-frame 6-shot .357 revolver. It had the looks of a Python with lock work more similar to the venerable Trooper line of revolvers. The original King Cobra was discontinued in 1992, coming back in 1994 and discontinued again in 1998. In 2019, the model designation was brought back, but the design was notably different. The frame was a little smaller, more suitable for concealed carry, the trigger guard profile was changed, and the mechanism was altered, now having the same tight, positive lockup of the most popular Colt revolvers. This example looks like it has spent more time inside a case than out. This would make a great hunting sidearm, concealed carry or home defense revolver and would also fit in with a Colt collection that hasn't added this snake to the pit.
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a brass beaded blade screw-secured to the front of the barrel's solid rib. The rear sight is a square notch integral to the topstrap.
Grip Configuration & Condition: The grips are two-piece textured laminate wood. The grips have no notable wear, only a few tiny marks. There are no chips or cracks. The grips rate in about excellent overall condition.

Rare Colt Kodiak .44 Magnum Double Action Revolver & Original Box
Lot #240 (Sale Order 240 of 391)
Rare Colt Kodiak .44 Magnum Double Action Revolver & Original Box
Our Assessment: Colt introduced the Anaconda built on a new, heavy "AA" frame to compete with the Ruger Redhawk and S&W Model 29 revolvers. then colt added a few upgrades and stepped away from the snake names and came out with the Kodiak. The Kodiak is an Anaconda, but with porting and a unfluted cylinder. What Colt did was take a great gun and made it better, more attuned for hunting. After all, the follow-up should have less recoil, if ever needed, and years of hunting has made us deaf already. If you ever decide to have it engraved then the cylinder will give more area for that perfect scene. It would feel great to unholster this gun in the field and drop a bear only a few yards away… during deer season. Not to mention you are probably the only guy hunting with one.

Colt Model .38 SF-VI .38 Special Stainless Double Action Only Revolver & Box
Lot #241 (Sale Order 241 of 391)
Colt Model .38 SF-VI .38 Special Stainless Double Action Only Revolver & Box
Our Assessment: The Detective Special has been very popular with law enforcement and civilians who carried a concealed revolver as it allowed for a 6-shot revolver in the same frame size as other revolvers which only offered a 5-round capacity. In the mid-1990s, Colt knew that everyone really wanted a stainless Detective Special and introduced the .38 SF-VI with a slightly different mechanism but with the same form-factor and 6-round capacity, made from stainless steel. The name was used to prevent confusion with the Detective Special revolvers still in the distribution pipeline, but would later change to the .38 DSII, or Detective Special 2. Despite the demand for a stainless Detective Special, the SF-VI and DSII apparently did not sell well enough for Colt, with the line being discontinued in 1998. This an example of the SF-VI which has a double action only mechanism and bobbed hammer. In excellent condition and with its original box, it is equally suited for carry or as a nice addition to a Colt revolver collection missing this piece of the Detective Special line.

Our Assessment: The Smith & Wesson Model 15, also called the K-38 Combat Masterpiece, is another classic from Smith. The Model 15 is like the Model 14 but sets itself apart with its Baughman quickdraw sight and shorter barrel. Though firearms development has progressed since the '60s, the name "Combat Masterpiece" was well earned by this revolver. Often issued by law enforcement agencies in the mid-20th century, this revolver embodies the reliability for which Smith & Wesson is famous. This one is a limited edition from the Performance Center for distributor Lew Horton. It commemorates speed shooter ed McGivern and some of his accomplishments. Edward "Ed" McGivern (October 20, 1874 – December 12, 1957) was a famous exhibition shooter, shooting instructor and author of the book Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting. McGivern performed extensive research into the art of handgun shooting, particularly with the double-action revolver. Renowned as one of the best handgunners that ever lived, his Guinness world record for "The greatest rapid-fire feat" (set on August 20, 1932 at the Lead Club Range, South Dakota) still stands. He emptied two revolvers in less than 2 seconds. He set another record on September 13, 1932, shooting five rounds from a double-action revolver at 15 feet in 2/5 of a second, and covering the group with his hand. His accomplishments include "firing two times from 15 feet five shots which could be covered by a silver half-dollar piece in 45/100 of a second". His shooting was so rapid, timing machines would malfunction in attempting to record his shooting speed. This one is in truly excellent condition and will make a great addition to any collection, especially since just a mere 139 were ever made! Please see our photos and good luck!

Lew Horton Smith & Wesson S&W Model 29-3 .44 Mag Revolver
Lot #273 (Sale Order 273 of 391)
Rare 1985 Lew Horton Smith & Wesson S&W Model 29-3 101224 .44 Mag 3" Double Action Revolver
Our Assessment: Developed in a collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Remington with the input of big-bore handgun shooters including Elmer Keith, The .44 Magnum revolver and cartridge took the revolver world by storm in the 1950s, later to be known worldwide, even outside the firearms community, as "the most powerful handgun in the world" due to its portrayal in the Dirty Harry movies. This Smith & Wesson's Model 29-3, their classic .44 Magnum revolver. It is one of about 5,000 made in 1985 as part of a limited run for distributor Lew Horton in a 3" round-butt Combat configuration. This makes for a nice compromise between size and capacity with a full 6-rounds of .44 Magnum in a revolver which can still be concealed, maybe not in shorts and a t-shirt, but certainly in winter clothing. It will also be a little more convenient to carry when you're competing with bears for the local stream's fish. That said, Lew Horton has ceased operations and their limited production specials have always brought a premium from collectors. This a revolver that would be just as well suited to adding to a Smith collection as it would carry for self-defense. Please see our photos and good luck!
Markings: The left side of the barrel is marked "SMITH & WESSON", the right is marked "44 MAGNUM". The sideplate has S&W's monogram logo, the right side of the frame has the four line Marcas Registradas. The butt is marked with the serial number.

Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 Silhouette .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver
Lot #293 (Sale Order 293 of 391)
1988 Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 Silhouette 104227 .357 Magnum 8 3/8" Double Action Revolver
Our Assessment: This Smith & Wesson's Model 686 with an 8 3/8" barrel and silhouette-style sights. The revolver is built on Smith & Wesson's L-Frame which was introduced in 1980. While the .357 Magnum had been in use for a number of years, police officers did not like the weight of the heavy N-Framed models and while the K-Frame was the standard for defensive revolvers, it was realized that problems with the forcing cone arose after high round count. The solution to the problem was the L-Frame, with input from S&W Historian Roy Jinks the new frame was born. The L-Frame was basically K-Frame that was beefed up just a bit allowing for a larger forcing cone and cylinder window, but retained the same grip frame. In 1980 the L-Frame models were introduced and were instantly recognizable by their full underlug. The 686 was well received by law enforcement and sport shooters alike and has been produced for over 40 years since its introduction in 1980. This 686 revolver is from 1988 and rates in excellent condition, the bore is bright with sharp rifling and the action is sound. With its silhouette sight, this will be a great revolver for handgun silhouette competition, with the front sight able to be individually adjusted and quickly changed for four different distances. This will be a great shooter and make a terrific addition to a collection.

San Francisco PD Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman .357 Mag Revolver
Lot #294 (Sale Order 294 of 391)
San Francisco Police Department Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman .357 Mag 4" Revolver
Our Assessment: The Model 28, also known as the Highway Patrolman, traces its heritage back to the Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum. The Registered Magnum morphed into the Model 27. The Model 28 is unusual in that Smith & Wesson removed, rather than added, features to the Model 27 to create it, in order to reduce production costs with no reduction in utility. A classic N frame revolver, the Highway Patrolman is blued, but it is not polished, saving labor costs. The top strap and frame rounds are bead blasted to achieve a matte appearance. In the late 1940s and the first part of the 1950s Smith & Wesson was the only American gun company manufacturing a .357 magnum revolver. Since this relatively deluxe model was the only revolver available for this cartridge at the time, police departments, as well as individual officers and private shooters, requested from Smith & Wesson a more strictly utilitarian "budget" .357 magnum revolver. S&W responded with the Highway Patrolman (later renamed the Model 28 in 1957). The manufacturing changes made for a more affordable revolver, though mechanically the Highway Patrolman is the same as the more ornate Model 27. The Model 28 was in production from 1954 through 1986. For most of its production run, it was a steady seller with both police officers and civilian shooters. This 4" example has San Francisco Police Department markings and was produced between 1969 and 1972. The revolver is in Very Good condition, showing wear consistent with its service but retaining a good bore and strong mechanics.

Smith & Wesson 460ES Emergency Survival Kit 163463 .460 S&W 2.75" Double Action Revolver & Case
Our Assessment: The S&W 460 is built on S&W's largest frame, the X-Frame, which was developed because none of S&W's existing double-action frame designs could handle the muzzle energy and pressures generated by the .500 S&W cartridge. The .460 S&W Magnum is essentially a longer and more powerful version of the .454 Casull, itself a lengthened and more powerful .45 Colt. Able to push a 200 grain bullet past 2,300 fps, the .460 S&W is not just one of the most powerful handguns in the world, it also fires at one of the highest velocities of any revolver in the world, allowing for unprecedented penetration when hunting with a revolver.

Jim Hoag Master Grade Colt Gold Cup National Match Longslide Pistol
Lot #308 (Sale Order 308 of 391)
Jim Hoag Master Grade 8" Colt Gold Cup National Match Longslide Pistol, Pictures & Documentation
Our Assessment: The 1911 already had a long history by the 1950s when practical shooting competitions were born. Southern California (as ironic as it may seem, today) was the font of practical shooting with now well-known names such as Ray Chapman, Jack Weaver, Jeff Cooper, and Jim Hoag. The original intent of these matches was to see what civilian shooters were capable of with a handgun where the only restrictions on the shooters were for safety. This would eventually evolve into IPSC, though other sports such as Steel Challenge and the Bianchi Cup would also spawn from these early practical shooting matches.Most fans of custom 1911s will be well familiar with Mr. Hoag, who unfortunately passed in April, 2020. A contemporary of luminaries such as Ron Lerch, Mike Dalton and Jeff Cooper, Hoag learned just about everything there is to know about the 1911 and could perform just about any modification you could want to a precision which is hard to fathom. He was among the first, if not the very first, to begin modifying pistols specifically for competition use. This example of his work showcases his talents, with a low-mounted Bo-Mar sight, custom Commander-style hammer, checkered front strap, checkered and squared trigger guard, extended slide stop, beavertail grip safety and, distinctively Hoag, a slide which has been lengthened to accommodate an 8" barrel. At the peak of his career, Hoag would customize about 300 pistols a year, but the great majority were left in their original Government or Commander form-factor. Fewer were built into 6" long-slide guns and fewer still 8". Hoag even made one 12" gun "on a lark".This 8" Master Grade is very special as it remained in Jim Hoag's possession until 2015 and comes with a signed bill of sale from Hoag himself. Included with the bill of sale is an aged tag which identifies this gun by serial number as "The first 8" Master Grade", which would explain why Hoag kept it for so long. The bottom of the slide is marked "J. HOAG / 7", though we can only speculate on the significance of the number as we have not inspected any other Hoag-numbered long-slides. The pistol comes with a wide variety of publications with articles about Hoag, photos of him both shooting and in his workshop, as well as a neat edition of the Journal of the South West Pistol League with a transcript of an interview with Hoag discussing the earliest days of practical shooting and the gunsmithing behind the guns. A steel block which was to one-day be used to create another long-slide is also included from Hoag's shop, not something that collectors are likely to come across again.Whether you're a fan of 1911s, practical shooting, or the work of Jim Hoag, this a truly outstanding example of a custom 1911 for the collector or shooter alike. Its documentation, condition, quality, and connection to a pioneering handgunner and pistol smith will give it a prized place in any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Derek Fernelius engraved Pre-War Colt Super .38 Semi Automatic
Our Assessment: The .38 Super cartridge was first introduced by Colt in 1928 as a higher pressure loading of the .38 ACP. It is capable of driving a 115 gr. bullet past 1400 fps., producing more than 500 ft-lbs of energy. This not quite up to the .357 Magnum, but was still capable of penetrating body armor and automobile bodies of the time. Today, the cartridge is favored by many top pistol match competitors for its ability to make "Major" power factor in IPSC/USPSA, with a lighter bullet offering less felt recoil than that produced from a .45 ACP round. Colt first introduced the round in its 1911A1 frame, making it basically the same as the Government Model except for its cartridge. The 1911 pistol had already gained a reputation as a highly reliable pistol during WWI, Colt saw no reason not to capitalize on that reputation with a new caliber offering.This pre-war Super .38 pistol was made in 1934 and is in excellent condition as upgraded. This pistol has been embellished by apprentice Derek Fernelius under his mentor Master engraver Philip Quigley. The pistol has full coverage relief scroll engraving accented with inlaid gold borders and fire blued parts. The factory markings are exceptionally preserved and are still crisp, the serrations are still sharp. The "COLT" marking on the right of the slide and Rampant Colt have been gold inlaid. The underside of the right slide rail is marked "ENG. DPF" and the left is marked "ENG. PL QUIGLEY". Quigley's pieces are in some of the most famous collections in the world including the Autry Museum of Western Art, National Civil War Museum and NRA Collection. The Super .38 pistols are highly prized by collectors and one this pretty is bound to end up in a collection!

Colt Gold Cup National Match Government Model .45 ACP Semi Automatic Pistol & Box
Our Assessment: In the mid-1900s the 1911 was used for all manner of pistol competitions, but the base Government model typically needed some tweaking and modification to get the best performance. In 1957, Colt introduced their Gold Cup National Match, an out-of-the-box, purpose-built target pistol with adjustable target sights, hand-fit parts, serrated grip frame and adjustable trigger. This example is from 1969, a fairly early Gold Cup made just before the pistols would actually be marked "GOLD CUP". It appears to have seen little use, retaining about 97% of its metal finish, a great bore and strong mechanics. All of these old National Match pistols are collectible, this early example with the significant added value will make a great addition to nearly any collection, but should also prove to be a great shooter. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!

Lot #313 (Sale Order 313 of 391)
Colt MKIV Series ‘80 Government Model .38 Super 5" 02570e 1911 Pistol & Case
Our Assessment: The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end-result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900. The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time, and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today. Browning not only developed first a pivoting and then a tilting barrel to allow for a locked system, he developed the concept of "the slide", which is now synonymous with semi-automatic handguns. Having secured a contract for the US Military sidearm, Colt also offered the pistol to the commercial market as the "Government Model". The design has seen some updates including a firing-pin block safety, higher profile sights, and more ergonomic grips, but the basic design and fantastic trigger remain the same after more than a century. This example is a MK IV Series 80 Government Model enhanced made in 2003. The enhanced variant comes from the factory with a beavertail grip safety, skeletonized hammer and an under-cut trigger guard. This example is chambered for the .38 Super cartridge, in excellent condition. It retains 99% of its blued finish, a great bore and strong mechanics. If you are looking for your first 1911 or your next, this would be a great addition to any safe in America.

John M. Browning designed "Colt's Automatic Pistol, Caliber .22", later to become the Woodsman, with the design refined slightly by Colt employees George Tansley and F.C.

Our Assessment: The Glock 35 is one of the most popular pistols in IDPA stock service pistol competitions and USPSA production division. Approximately the size of a 1911 and shooting .40 S&W ammunition, it is very controllable, comfortable, and affordable to shoot even if you don't reload. The G35 has also been used as a service weapon by some law enforcement agencies and is certainly suitable for personal and home defense. The reliability and longevity of the Glock pistol have been proven beyond reasonable doubt and this model is really about as good as it gets. This pistol has seen little use and is truly in Fine Plus condition. Additionally, this pistol comes with a Lone Wolf Arms "35-9" extra barrel. This a drop in barrel for the Glock 35, but it is chambered in 9mm Luger. This allows the owner of the firearm more versatility, as is only takes a moment( and some Glock 34 or 17 magazines) to switch barrels and go from shooting .40 S&W to shooting 9mm Luger with the same pistol. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Heckler & Koch H&K Model P7M13 Double Stack 9mm Squeeze Cocker Pistol & Case
Lot #324 (Sale Order 324 of 391)
Sharp 1991 Heckler & Koch H&K Model P7M13 Double Stack 9mm 4" Squeeze Cocker Pistol & Case
Our Assessment: The decision to equip West German police with an advanced 9mm service pistol and replace existing 7.65mm Browning-caliber weapons was prompted after the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre. The new firearm was to meet the following requirements: chamber the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, weigh no more than 1,000 g (35 oz), the pistol's dimensions would not exceed 180 × 130 × 34 mm, it should have a muzzle energy of no less than 500 J and a service life of at least 10,000-rounds. The pistol was also to be fully ambidextrous, safe to carry with a loaded chamber and able to be quickly drawn and ready to fire instantly. As a result of a competitive bid the German police forces selected three different pistols into service: the Swiss SIG Sauer P225 (designated the P6) and two German designs—the P7 (officially designated the PSP) and the Walther P5. Series production of the P7 started in 1979. Shortly after, the pistol was introduced in a higher capacity, double-stack frame, just in time to be submitted to the US Army trials to replace the 1911. Though the trial ultimately resulted in the adoption of the M9 from Beretta, the P7M13 is still considered by some to be the best version of the P7 series. This pistol was made in 1991 and is in excellent condition. The polygonal rifling is still strong with no erosion and the pistol has a superb trigger pull that is initiated by squeezing the fore grip of the grip frame. Its finish has only the slightest of wear and it appears this pistol was used seldom if at all. It comes with A serial numbered matching case, cleaning rod in its protective sheath, gas cylinder cleaning tool, two 13-round magazines, serial matching test target, and a manual. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Series production of the P7 started in 1979. Shortly after, the pistol was adopted by the German Federal Police's counter-terrorism unit (GSG 9) and the German Army's special forces formations. The P7 was produced primarily by H&K but also under license by the Greek defense firm Hellenic Arms Industry as well as in Mexico by the Departamento de Industria Militar (DIM), as a sidearm for general officers and staff. The pistol was also exported to several countries. The P7M8 has a couple of notable improvements over the original P7 design. Due to the placement of the gas chamber immediately above the trigger guard, the inside of the guard tended to heat up rapidly when fired. The P7M8 introduced a larger trigger guard with a polymer heat-shield to protect the user. It also relocated the magazine release from the heel of the frame to the rear of the trigger guard, a much lauded improvement for the American commercial market. This pistol is from 1988 and retains a lot of its original finish. The polygonal rifling is still well defined with no erosion and the pistol has a superb trigger pull that is initiated by squeezing the fore grip of the grip frame. Its blued finish has only light handling marks and it appears this pistol was used seldom if at all. It comes with one magazine, serial matching case, and paperwork. This perfect for adding to a collection, add to your carry rotation, or just to have fun with on the range. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Smith & Wesson Model 39 (No Dash) 9mm DA/SA Pistol C&R
Lot #341 (Sale Order 341 of 391)
early Ca. 1960 Smith & Wesson Model 39 (No Dash) 9mm 4" DA/SA Semi Automatic Pistol C&R
Our Assessment: Dismayed by the commercial failure of their .35 and .32 semi-automatic pistols, in 1946 Smith & Wesson president C.R. Hellstorm said the product line needed to be modernized. Their top goal was to release a Double/Single action semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 9mm cartridge. Impressed with the German P38 Double Action, American Ordnance personnel issued a proposal for America's very own double action pistol and the Smith & Wesson was the choice. In the 1950s Smith & Wesson began the development of the Model 39 semi-auto pistol and it was finally released in 1955. The design became the Model 39 when the number system was introduced and went on to go through a number of design upgrades. This Model 39 from Smith & Wesson is still range ready almost 50 years since it was produced. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and is a shooter for sure, about 80% of the finish remains and overall, this a great first-generation, single-stack, Smith & Wesson semi-automatic to shoot and have fun with at the range. The aluminum frame makes it lighter than it's all-steel forbears though it feels more solid than it's polymer-frame descendants. It comes with one magazine to get you started! This pistol would make an excellent carry gun or recreational shooter. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Wilson Combat Classic 1911 .45 ACP Single Action Semi Automatic Pistol
Lot #353 (Sale Order 353 of 391)
Fine Plus Wilson Combat Classic 1911 .45 ACP Single Action Semi Automatic Pistol
Our Assessment: The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end-result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900. The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time, and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today. Browning not only developed first a pivoting and then a tilting barrel to allow for a locked system, he developed the concept of "the slide", which is now synonymous with semi-automatic handguns.
As with any hobby, with the 1911 you can go as far as your pocketbook will take you. Just about every brand has a 1911 on offer and they range from entry-level to high-end, this example is one of the latter. This 1911 is aptly named the Classic, a 1911 set up just like this was the recipe for success when run-and-gun competitive shooting got its start, and hell industry legend Bill Wilson was there! With decades to perfect his craft and choosing to focus more on building guns rather than competing with them, Bill Wilson has become one of the premier pistol makers in the industry. Wilson Combat is among a small group of the best manufacturers of custom and semi-custom 1911s in the world including Nighthawk Custom, ed Brown, and Les Baer. This pistol is an excellent example of why they have earned this reputation. The fit and finish are next level and Wilson Combat has combined the most desired upgrades including front and back strap checkering, extended indexing beavertail grip safety, extended ambidextrous thumb safety, target sights, and skeletonized hammer and trigger with their legendary craftsmanship quality. Many of the hard edges are beveled, the top of the slide is serrated, and the rear of the slide is checkered because details matter. All of the features combine for a pistol that is not only damn good looking but should shoot damn well too! This pistol looks nearly brand new and is in Fine Plus condition. If you've been looking to get a premium-quality 1911, you can't do much better than this.

Ruger Model No.1 .223 Rem. Falling Block Heavy Barrel Rifle
Lot #357 (Sale Order 357 of 391)
Ruger Model No.1 .223 Rem. Falling Block Single Shot Heavy Barrel Rifle & Scope
Our Assessment: The Ruger No. 1 was introduced in 1967 and seems an odd design choice for a modern rifle. Repeating rifles of many different designs had become the norm by the late '60s and the single shot rifle pattern—certainly the falling-block single-shot—was on the outs with most hunters and target shooters. The brilliant success of the Ruger No. 1 comes from its embodiment of Ruger's design philosophy: simple, durable, reliable. The work designers and manufacturers such as Harry Sefried, Lenard Brownell, and Larry Larson crafted resulted in a timeless firearm that allows the common shooter a slower, more deliberate hunt with an elegant weapon. Craig Boddington, noted game hunter and Ruger No.1 enthusiast said of the rifle, "There's one… thing… about the single-shot rifle concept that, although purely psychological, actually has tremendous impact: You know that, in all likelihood, you're only going to get one shot. That makes you extra careful," This example hails from 1986 and is in Fine-plus condition. It is chambered for .223 Remington, an exceedingly popular—so much so that it has superseded most other .22 varmint chamberings in the US—and powerful cartridge suited for varmint hunting. Good luck and happy bidding!

Browning Miroku Model 1886 .45-70 Gov't Lever Action Rifle 1986
Lot #360 (Sale Order 360 of 391)
Very Nice Browning Miroku Model 1886 .45-70 Gov't Lever Action Rifle 1986
Our Assessment: This a Browning model 1886, a reproduction of the original Winchester which was, ironically, designed by John Browning. The 1886 followed up the 1876, providing a much stronger action which was able to withstand larger and more powerful cartridges such as the .45-70, the issue rifle cartridge of the U.S. Army at the time. The design would later be shrunk for the model 1892. This modern reproduction has the same action and was produced as a limited edition for the centennial of the 1886 in 1986 with only 7,000 Grade I rifles made and an additional 3,000 High Grade rifles. This one has certainly been shot but has also been well cared for, in Fine condition. With its 26? octagonal barrel and .45-70 chambering, this would make a nice hunting rifle that could take just about any game in North America, though it's a bit heavy for taking it on a long stalk and in such high condition, it will likely see interest from both Browning and Winchester collectors. If you're looking for a .45-70 lever gun, you can't do much better than this. Please see our photos and good luck!

The Model 1903 is basically a redesigned Mauser clone. A U.S. Patent Court eventually found that the U.S. Army had violated Mauser's patents and required the U.S. Army to pay the German Mauser manufacturers patent royalties. Payments were stopped once WWI started. The 1903 has a strong reliable action that served the Army for over thirty years in two world wars. The 1903A3 is an improved version of the 1903 rifle that was introduced in 1942. The most significant change was the switch to a receiver bridge-mounted rear aperture sight.This Springfield Armory Model 1903 was made in 1930, it has been rebuilt and refinished, it includes a sight protector. This bolt action rifle is in Very Nice condition, it looks impressive for a 90 year old military rifle. This 1903 has good Springfield markings on the receiver.

1978 Browning Miroku Model BPS Field 12 GA 30" Pump Action Shotgun
Lot #383 (Sale Order 383 of 391)
1978 Browning Miroku Model BPS Field 12 GA 30" Pump Action Shotgun
Our Assessment: From Browning's website, "Browning liked the idea of a pump shotgun that both loaded and ejected from the bottom of the receiver. This allowed fired shells to drop straight downward, out of the shooter's line of sight, which helped minimize visual distractions for the shooter when following a fleeting target. Fast forward to 1977. The firearm company that John M. Browning started back in 1878 wanted to introduce a thoroughly modern pump action that incorporated the very best of the founder's innovations. The result was the now-famous Browning Pump Shotgun, which is better known as the BPS." This Browning BPS sports a 30" barrel and is in about Very Good overall condition. By appearance, it is evident that this shotgun worked for a living and still looks good. For the left handed shooter, this a great option, a bottom-ejecting shotgun sure beats a shotshell hull to the face. This a sturdy shotgun with a lot of hunting trips left in it.

Browning Auto Five A-5 16 Gauge 26" Poly Choke Shotgun
Lot #388 (Sale Order 388 of 391)
1932 Browning Auto Five A-5 16 Gauge 26" Poly Choke Semi Automatic Shotgun
Our Assessment: The Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning. The Browning Auto-5 was the first mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun. Designed by John Browning in 1898 and patented in 1900, it was produced continually for almost 100 years by several makers with production officially ending in 1998 (though other makers have continued to make the pattern). It features a distinctive high rear end, earning it the nickname "Humpback". Browning presented his design to Winchester, where he had sold his rifle designs, but they refused his terms. He then went to Remington, but the president of the company died while he was waiting to offer them the gun. Browning then took the gun to FN in Europe and was so confident that his first order was for 10,000 shotguns. The design was later licensed to Remington for their Model 11 and to Savage Arms for their Models 720 and 755. This example is chambered for 16 Gauge and was made in Belgium in 1932, it is in pretty Good shape, showing honest wear for a 90 year old semi automatic shotgun. This classic Browning will go nicely in any Shotgun collection and is ready to get back out into the field. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

Benelli Model M1 Super 90 Field Camo X-Brown Shotgun & Box
Lot #390 (Sale Order 390 of 391)
Benelli Model M1 Super 90 Field Camo X-Brown 12 GA 21" Semi Automatic Shotgun & Box
Our Assessment: The Benelli M1 (Super 90) is a semi-automatic shotgun MANUFACTURED by Benelli Armi S.P.A. It features the proprietary Benelli recoil system, known for its reliability and easy maintenance. Due to the inertia recoil system, the M1 shouldn't have to use heavier loads to cycle properly, because the action is inertia driven vs. the traditional gas cycling operation it can fire and reliably cycle lighter loads. The ultra-reliable inertia system is low maintenance (unlike some of our significant others) and allows for reduced recoil as well. This Super 90 sports a RealTree Xtra Brown camo finish. This a beautiful shotgun that will serve well for year to come!
