His unparalleled craftsmanship and impeccable eye for detail made his guns among the most luxurious on the British market. He eventually earned the title of gun maker to King George IV (reigned from 1820-1830), a high honor at the time. He eventually passed away in 1831, but his business remained in operation until 1865. His nephew Joseph egg was also an accomplished gunsmith, he is believed to have invented the copper percussion cap.This particular set was MANUFACTURED during the reign of King George IV and the case has a paper indicating that egg was the gun maker to the King. The pistols are beautifully crafted and remarkably well preserved for they have only light handling wear. These are absolutely stunning and will display well with their case and accessories.

Whitney Co. Morse-Burgess 1878 .45-70 Lever Action Rifle ANTIQUE

Lot #1001 (Sale Order 2 of 384)

Rare Whitney Co. Morse-Burgess 1878 .45-70 Lever Action Rifle ANTIQUE

Our Assessment: MANUFACTURED by the Whitney Company, the Whitney Burgess Morse Model 1878 was originally designed to be a lever action repeating design which would appeal to the US Army. The Whitney Burgess Morse was chambered for .45-70 Govt., then the standard caliber of the US Army. Pretty much all other lever action designs of the time were chambered for smaller pistol calibers, such as .44-40. The Whitney Burgess Morse was entered into US Army Ordnance Trials in 1878. Although the rifle performed admirably, the Whitney Burgess Morse was rejected. The Whitney Burgess Morse was redesigned as a hunting rifle. A civilian stock was outfitted and a loading gate on the right hand side of the receiver was added. The new sporter Whitney Burgess Morse was marketed as an express rifle for hunting larger game such as deer, elk, buffalo, or bear. However, two years earlier Winchester had introduced their own .45-70 express rifle with the Winchester Model 1876. Being on the market for two years, the Model 1876 had already won the hearts and minds of hunters, greatly overshadowing the Whitney Burgess Morse. Thus, only 3,000 of these rifles were produced between 1878 and 1882.Whether you collect Colts or Winchesters, you need a Burgess in your collection. They are quite Rare and when we do see them, they are usually pretty thrashed. This gun shows its age, but still has strong mechanics and a reasonable bore for a 130 year old gun which would have seen exclusive use with black powder. Please see our photos and good luck!

Whitneyville Armory Kennedy .44-40 WCF 24" Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1002 (Sale Order 3 of 384)

Nice Whitneyville Armory Kennedy .44-40 WCF 24" Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: While today he is better known by most as the inventor of the cotton gin, Eli Whitney was also a singularly accomplished firearms designer who perhaps had greater personal success with firearms than with his most well-known invention (due to patent issues with the gin). He supplied arms to the United States military from the time of the Whiskey Rebellion past the end of the Civil War. He also sold arms commercially where he also found success, with firearms like this Whitney-Kennedy lever rifle which started as an evolution of the action designed by Andrew Burgess. With the more traditional style of lever used here, that would date this one being MANUFACTURED between 1884-1886. It comes with a 24-inch octagon barrel chambered in .44-40 WCF. Just like the Winchester 1873, this rifle would have been a great companion to a Colt or Merwin Hulbert revolver in the same caliber. This a Rare opportunity to add this very distinct example of our lever gun history. Please see our photos and good luck!

Colt-Burgess .44-40 WCF "New Magazine" Sporting Rifle

Lot #1003 (Sale Order 4 of 384)

early Colt-Burgess .44-40 WCF "New Magazine" Lever Action Sporting Rifle

Our Assessment: Although Colt was predominately a manufacturer of popular revolvers, such as the Colt Single Action Army, in the 1880s the company began to seek to compete against Winchester in the rifle market. In 1882, Colt contacted Andrew Burgess to design a lever-action rifle and by July 1883, production of the new rifle had begun. The Colt-Burgess was produced for sixteen months thereafter, with a total of 6,403 guns manufactured. Approximately 60% of these were of the rifle variation. When compared to production figures of Winchester's 1873 rifle, the Colt-Burgess failed as a serious competitor to Winchester. From 1873 to 1919, Winchester MANUFACTURED 720,610 Model 1873 rifles, or an average of over 15,000 per year.The short production history of the Colt-Burgess has led to much speculation as to the reason of its demise. According to legend, upon hearing of Colt's entrance into the lever-action rifle market, Winchester began to develop a prototype revolver to compete with Colt's market. A "gentleman's agreement" then followed between Colt and Winchester, with Colt agreeing to drop production of the Burgess and Winchester abandoning its plans to develop a revolver. The truth of this story has never been fully verified, and as such, the reason for the Burgess rifle's short production history is unknown.Whether you collect Colts or Winchesters, you need a Burgess in your collection. They are quite Rare and when we do see them, they are usually pretty thrashed. This gun shows its age, but still has strong mechanics and a reasonable bore for a 130 year old gun which would have seen exclusive use with black powder. Please see our photos and good luck!

Serial Number 58 Colt Revolving Sporting Rifle,1855-1864

Lot #1004 (Sale Order 5 of 384)

Rare & Attractive Serial Number 58 Colt Full Stock Sporting .56 Caliber Revolving Percussion Rifle,1855-1864

Our Assessment: Thousands of these guns would ultimately see service, both sides used the gun but more were supplied to the Union. After all, Samuel Colt’s company was situated well above the Mason-Dixon Line, in Connecticut, and Colt was a commissioned officer in the Connecticut State Militia. The gun was used from the opening months of the conflict until the war ended in 1865, it was considered an effective arm by most of its users but the advent of breech-loaded firearms made it largely obsolete by the end of the conflict. There are a number of different Colt Model 1855 Revolving Rifles that were made. This particular specimen is a .56 caliber Full Stock Sporting Rifle with a 31 1/4" barrel, a 5-round fluted cylinder and a full-length forend. In all, only 1,000 .56 caliber Sporting Rifles were produced, 200 with a 31 1/4" barrel and the Full Stock was less common than the Half Stock, making this a pretty Rare configuration. The gun has a matching serial numbers with the exception of the included clearing rod, and there is a marking in the toe which may be a rack number.Also of interest is the "FAVRe BRANDT" marking found on the barrel and receiver. This marking is associated with James Favre Brandt, a Swiss citizen who went with a mission to Japan in 1863 to establish trade relations. While Favre Brandt is perhaps best known today for his role in watchmaking and watch sales in Japan, he also sold a wide variety of goods including firearms. While this rifle doesn't have any Japanese markings, the Favre Brandt markings are still an intriguing feature which would be well worth some more in-depth investigation.The rifle itself is in impressive condition, especially compared to other specimens we have seen. The action still functions correctly and the bore is really quite outstanding.

Remington-Keene Carbine .45-70 Government Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1007 (Sale Order 8 of 384)

Remington-Keene Carbine .45-70 Government 20" Tubular Magazine Bolt Action Rifle

Our Assessment: This a Remington-Keene Sporting carbine, Remington's first production bolt action. At the time of its invention, the lever-action and single-shot dominated the market with a few bolt actions entering the fray, but they were single-shot designs. The inventor John W. Keene had been awarded patents for a rifle that would feed from a magazine tube but did not have mass production capabilities. This resulted in a mutually beneficial relationship for him and the Remington company and thus the Remington-Keene rifle was born. The magazine tube was similar to the lever actions of the time and the hammer at the rear of the bolt would let the shooter know if the rifle was cocked similar to a musket or lever action so it was not hard to transition shooters accustomed to their older rifles. The Navy made a purchase for some of the rifles and the U.S. Interior Department purchased some for Indian Tribal police but sales to the Government were not what Remington had hoped and they soon started targeting the sporting market instead of government sales. The production numbers were about 5,000 of all the variants combined. Already a Rare gun, this carbine is one of, if not the Rarest… the BlueBook simply says "Rarity Precludes Accurate Pricing". This one has survived the years exceptionally well and truly looks great, even the bore is nothing to turn your nose up at. Quite a few of us at the shop will be jealous of the lucky winner, hardly anyone passed by this gun without commenting on just how cool it is. This will certainly make an exceptional addition to a collection of Remingtons and ANTIQUEs.

The production numbers were about 5,000 of all variants, and these don't come up often..especially a submodel as Rare as this, don't pass this gem up. Please see our photos and good luck!

Rare Browning Brothers Rifle #346 (Winchester 1885 Predecessor)

Lot #1016 (Sale Order 17 of 384)

Extremely Rare .45-70 Browning Brothers Single Shot Rifle #346 (Winchester 1885 Predecessor)

Our Assessment:While Winchester has become nearly synonymous with “lever rifle” and John Browning is famous for, well, just about everything firearms-related in the 20th Century, the relationship between inventor John Moses Browning and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company began with a humble single shot rifle. Elegant in is simplicity, robust and reliable, the first 25 rifles produced by Browning Bros. sold out in a week. Their quality quickly became known and the rifles sold as fast as they could be made. Browning received a patent for his design in October of 1879 and set to work building rifles. In 1883, one of these rifles was purchased second hand by a Winchester salesman, Andrew McAusland, who found the design so interesting that he put the rifle in a crate and shipped it to the Winchester factory in New Haven. Shortly after it arrived, Thomas Bennett was on a train to Ogden to meet the Browning Brothers. During negotiations for the purchase of the Single Shot rifle’s patent, Browning happened to mention that he had a nearly completed design for a repeating rifle that could handle full-power loads like his single shot, and history was made. Bennett left Ogden with an agreement to purchase Browning’s patent, a dozen of his Single Shot rifles, and a relationship between Winchester and perhaps the most prolific firearms inventor in American history. Fewer than 600 rifles were produced by Browning before his patent was sold and this is number 346. The rifle shows honest wear for its age, most of these guns saw extensive use in the frontier for hunting. Its connection to Browning, likely having been handled by John himself during production, makes it a rare treat for collectors. Please see our photos and good luck!

Make:Browning Brothers

Model:Single Shot Rifle

Serial Number:346

Year of Manufacture:Ca. 1879-1883

Caliber:The barrel is marked “45. 70.”, but we were not able to fully seat a .45-70 Gov’t cartridge in the chamber.

Action Type:Falling-Block, Single-Shot Rifle

Barrel Length:29 3/4”, Octagonal Sights/Optics: There is an empty dovetail at the front of the barrel for a front sight (none present). There is a folding ladder sight dovetailed to the rear of the barrel, presenting a “V”-notch buckhorn when down and having a “V”-notch slider on the ladder. There is an empty dovetail in front of the rear sight assembly. The top tang is drilled and tapped for a tang sight (none present). Stock Configuration and Condition: The stocks are two-piece checkered walnut with semi-pistol grip, slight schnabel tip on the forend, straight comb and steel crescent buttplate. The forend has a loss on the top-left edge at the front and a crack at the left-rear. There are a couple of small losses at the front edge of the wrist. There are scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The checkering is generally well defined. The LOP measures 13 1/4” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate is in the white with some scattered wear and a tiny hole near the heel. Overall, the stocks are in Good-plus condition as Antique.

Type of Finish:None.

Finish Originality:It isn’t clear if the finish has been removed or if the surfaces were never finished. The barrel and receiver are serial-matching.

Bore Condition:The bore is gray with well defined rifling. There is scattered light erosion and minor pitting in the bore. In this writer’s opinion, the bore rates 5 or 6 out of 10. Most antique firearms have bores that will show erosion. This is not only due to age but to the use of black powder. When fired, black powder reacts corrosively. NRA Antique Firearm Conditions Standards are quite lenient for bores. In some cases, the NRA standards disregarded the bore’s condition for collectors’ firearms.

Overall Condition:The metal surfaces show scattered minor oxidation and some spots of minor erosion. There are light nicks, scuffs and scratches with a few more notable marks on the left receiver flat. The hammer spur appears to have been altered and does not have any checkering. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads are tooled with usable slots. The markings range from clear to worn, but legible. Overall, this rifle is in about Good condition as Antique (see Mechanics).

Mechanics:The action does not function correctly. We could not get the hammer to catch at full-cock and when the action is closed, the hammer falls to the fired position. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements. Box, Paperwork, and Accessories: None.

Winchester Model 1883 Hotchkiss Musket, .45-70 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1017 (Sale Order 18 of 384)

Very Attractive Winchester Model 1883 Hotchkiss Musket, .45-70 Bolt Action Repeating Rifle

Our Assessment: The Winchester Hotchkiss was a bolt-action repeating rifle patented by Benjamin B. Hotchkiss in 1876 and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and Springfield Arsenal from 1878. The Hotchkiss like most early bolt-actions had a single rear locking lug integral with the bolt handle, but was unique in feeding multiple rounds from a tubular buttstock magazine similar to the Spencer rifle. A magazine cutoff mechanism was adopted, allowing the user to fire the rifle as a single-shot while retaining the magazine in reserve.There were three basic variants to the Hotchkiss. The original rifle had the magazine cutoff and bolt lock integral to a dial on the right side, with only the one control. Testing and feedback from military trials led to the 2nd or "Improved" model being made, having separate levers to each side of the receiver. Curiously, 1st Model rifles and carbines continued to be produced even after the 2nd Model went into production. Due to frequent cracking of the stock at the rear of the receiver, the 3rd Model altered the receiver once more and used two-piece stocks, largely solving the issue of cracking. The 3rd Model also coincided with personnel changes at Winchester with former Remington employees Jefferson Clough and Leander Russell hired as Superintendent and Assembly Room Department head, respectively, as well as Colt firearms and tooling designer William Mason hired as the Master Mechanic. Their efforts led to a better designed rifle which was produced much more efficiently. This model was called the Model 1883 Hotchkiss and saw significant foreign military and domestic commercial sales, though the United States elected to stick with the 1873 Trapdoor rifle.This example is from fairly late in production, when both production and assembly were somewhat inconsistent. It is in Fine-plus condition, retaining much of its original metal finish, a strong bore and good mechanics. It has a few idiosyncratic features such as its turned-down bolt handle, "11" marking on its buttplate and a nosecap with a bayonet lug that prevents the use of the clearing rod slot in the forend. It is not clear whether this due to the production and assembly methods in the late 1890s. Another possibility, based on the serial range, is that it was originally sold to the California State Militia, and many of these militia rifles would later be sold to the Hollywood film industry which may have made some alterations. In any case, this a very neat example of the 1883 Hotchkiss that will add to a Winchester collection.

Rare early New Haven Arms Co. Iron Frame Henry S/N 14 Lever Action Rifle, 1860

Lot #1019 (Sale Order 20 of 384)

Rare early New Haven Arms Co. 1860 Iron Frame Henry Serial Number 14 Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: There is some mystery around the early production of the Henry rifles with sources indicating that production started in either 1860 or 1862. What is known is that, for some reason, early production consisted of rifles with frames made out of gunmetal (brass) as well as some with iron frames. Thanks to a survey by Les Quick for his book "The Story of Benjamin Tyler Henry and His Famed Repeating Rifle", it is known that the serial numbers of the iron frame rifles were frequently duplicated in the brass frame guns, leading to speculation that there were actually two different production lines, possibly even two different facilities. The highest known iron frame serial number is 355, making it likely that as few as 400 were produced before the iron frame was abandoned and all production went to brass frames. While all surviving Henry rifles are scarce and desirable, the iron frame guns are even moreso.This example is serial 14 and displays a number of early features. Perhaps most important, early Henry rifles had serial markings on their barrel, receiver tang, buttplate, buttstock, and the various stock mounting screws, and all of the serial numbers match on this rifle. The assembly numbers on the barrel and magazine sleeve are also matching. The buttstock has an early sharp comb, the plate is of the early style. Unlike most of Henry rifles produced, this example does not have any provision for mounting a sling, also typical of the earliest Henrys.This a fantastic find for collectors. Any Model 1860 will make a great addition to a collection of lever action rifles, Winchesters, or early repeating cartridge firearms, but such an early Iron Frame Henry is going to take a prized place in even the most advanced collections. Please see our photos and good luck!

engraved New Haven Arms Model 1860 Henry Lever Action Rifle, Possible Samuel Hoggson

Lot #1020 (Sale Order 21 of 384)

Possible Samuel Hoggson engraved New Haven Arms Model 1860 Henry Lever Action Rifle, Civil War

Our Assessment: This rifle was made Ca. 1863, as the Civil War was in full swing. One of the stock mounting screws has an obscured marking and the other is a later replacement, but other serialized parts match and there are matching assembly numbers on the barrel and magazine sleeve. The rifle has surprisingly strong mechanics for such an old gun, though the barrel sleeve is slightly loose and rotates a little bit, stopped by the magazine spring. Overall, this rifle shows honest wear considering its age and likely uses. It is also engraved in a style associated with the engraver Samuel Hoggson, though it is difficult to be sure without any factory records available and no signature from the artisan. Any Henry will make a great addition to a collection of lever action rifles, Winchesters, or early repeating cartridge firearms, and we're sure this one will be no exception.

engraved & Inscribed Civil War 7th Illinois 1860 Henry Rifle "Death to Traitors"

Lot #1021 (Sale Order 22 of 384)

engraved & Inscribed Civil War 7th Illinois 1860 Henry Rifle "Death to Traitors"

Our Assessment: This rifle was made Ca. 1864 during the Civil War and is inscribed indicating it belonged to one Felix Gill of the 7th Illinois Veteran Volunteers, Company H. There is no reason not to believe this as the engravings appear to be period, the Illinois State Archives note that there was in fact a Private Felix Gill in Co. H of the 7th IL Infantry. Felix Gill originally joined and mustered into the 7th IL as a member of Company H on July 25, 1961 and then re-enlisted and mustered in December of 1863 as a Veteran, still in Co. H of the 7th. Gill resided in Lincoln, IL when he enlisted. The "Death to Traitors" motto engraved along with an American eagle was a popular saying among the Union forces. The American flag engraved on the receiver has 35 stars, which was the official flag from June, 1863 until October, 1864. Finally, the 7th IL was known to have purchased some 500 Henry rifles privately, which were put to good use at the defense of Allatoona Pass in October of 1864.even without these ties to the Civil War, the rifle is a beautiful example of a Henry and would be a nice piece for anyone interested in lever guns, early repeating rifles, or Henry rifles more specifically. It's connection to Private Gill and the Civil War only makes it that much more special and suitable for Civil War or Illinois focused collectors as well as advanced Henry collectors.

Possible Ulrich engraved Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1022 (Sale Order 23 of 384)

Possible Ulrich engraved Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: This rifle is a Model 1866 Carbine with a 20" round barrel and still has its original rimfire bolt. The rifle has beautiful scroll engraving with animal scenes on the sideplates and receiver. With the serial number indicating that the receiver was produced in 1870, this rifle came along at a very interesting time for Winchester engraving, right at the dawn of the Ulrich era.Given that this rifle was not signed by its engraver, and detailed Winchester records are not available for this serial number, it is impossible to know for sure whether this rifle was factory engraved, but it sure looks good! The beautifully engraved rifle is in about Fine condition as refinished with about 70% of its new blued and brass finish, wear in the stocks consistent with responsible use over the past century and a half, a decent bore for a rifle of this age, and strong mechanics. All of the 1866 models are very collectable due to their age and the relatively short time period over which they were made: the M1866 was made up until the 1890’s, but very few were made after the 1873 rifle was introduced with its improved center fire cartridges. Most Winchester collectors would never think that their collection was complete without at least all three variations of the M1866, while some would argue for all the variations of the four different models.

early Restored Flat Side Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1023 (Sale Order 24 of 384)

early Restored Flat Side Winchester Model 1866 Saddle Ring Carbine Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: The earliest known 1866 was serial 12476, continuing in the same serial range as the Henry 1860. In fact, there was some overlap between 1860 and 1866 production, with the Model 1860 continuing into the 14,000 range. That would put this example, serial 13724, close to if not in the first 1,000 Model 1866 made, and it is easy to see why these early guns were called the "Improved Henry". The stock is secured with one machine screw and two wood screws, the receiver has a distinct "hump" at the top-rear reminiscent of its predecessor, and the stock even has the enigmatic "Henry bump" on the left side. The loading gate is of the earliest flat style and the hammer does not have the half-cock safety position which would be added to the design later.The rifle is in about Very Good condition as refinished with about 70% of its new blued and brass finish, minor wear in the stocks, a more than decent bore for a rifle of this age, and just a slight timing issue with the lifter. All of the 1866 models are very collectable due to their age and the relatively short time period over which they were made: the M1866 was made up until the 1890's, but very few were made after the 1873 rifle was introduced with its improved center fire cartridges.

Winchester 1873 2nd Model 24 1/4" .44-40 WCF Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1024 (Sale Order 25 of 384)

Winchester 1873 2nd Model 24 1/4" .44-40 WCF Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: One of the most successful, and certainly one of the most famous Winchester rifles was the Winchester Model 1873, known as "The Gun that Won the West" for its predominant role in the hands of Western settlers. The Model 1873 had an iron and later a steel frame that was much stronger than the brass framed Model 1866, allowing Winchester to develop a family of powerful new cartridges, with Colt usually producing Single Action Army revolvers in the same calibers shortly after they were developed. The .44-40 Win. cartridge, also known as the .44 WCF, was introduced by Winchester in 1873 as Winchester's first metallic centerfire cartridge with a number of WCF cartridges to follow. Colt produced single action revolvers chambered for the Winchester cartridges as well, allowing users to have a rifle and handgun which shared the same ammunition.This example looks like it has had a long and useful life. The rifle shows wear consistent with its age, and having a decent bore. It deserves a spot in a collection of lever action rifles and frontier Americana. Please see our photos and good luck!

Lot #1027 (Sale Order 28 of 384)

Rare & Very early Winchester Model 1873 1 of 1,000 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: Early in 1873 production, Winchester distributed a pamphlet extolling the virtues of their new model of rifle and all of the ways it was an improvement over their previous Model 1866. In this pamphlet they also layed out a plan which would lead to some of the most desired Winchester rifles ever produced:"every Sporting Rifle we make will be proved and shot at a target, and the target will be numbered to correspond with the barrel attached to it. When one hundred barrels are thus proved, the one making the best target will be selected and set aside, and another hundred proved in the same way, and so on until one thousand have been tested and ten targets selected with the barrels with which they were made.They will then be made up into Guns, in which each part is selected with the utmost care and finished in the finest manner. They will then be again subjected to trials for accuracy, and the best of the ten selected and marked 'One of a thousand,' the price of which will be from $80.00 to $100.00."While certainly an interesting marketing idea, one can plainly see that the process is complicated and without sufficient orders, the best of the rifles would remain at the factory waiting to be sold. It also was not ideal to indicate that every other Winchester was an inherently inferior rifle. Winchester obviously did not follow through with the plan as there were 700,000+ Models 1873 produced with only 132 "One of a Thousand" rifles made. The option was dropped from the Winchester catalog in 1875 and nearly all of the 1 of 1,000 rifles were produced before 1880. Interest in these Rare Winchesters was revived in 1950 with the release of Winchester '73 starring James Stewart, in which a 1 of 1,000 played a prominent role. The rifles have since become perhaps the most sought after of all Winchesters among collectors. This example is particularly interesting due to its documentation and inspection by none other than George Madis. The rifle is photographed in "The Winchester Book" and Madis notes "The serial number of this rifle is 778; of over thirty One of One Thousand models 73 this writer has observed, this the lowest number." The rifle is also noted in James D. Gordon's "Winchester's New Model of 1873 A Tribute" as an example of a 1 of 1000 marked rifle which is not recorded in Winchester's warehouse ledgers as such.As a rifle not only inspected by George Madis, but also pictured in his book, this an especially Rare opportunity. The inherent rarity of a 1 of 1000, the rifle's high condition, its extra-length barrel all make for one of the finest Winchester's to add to a collection.

Custom Winchester 1885 Low Wall Schuetzen Falling Block Rifle

Lot #1028 (Sale Order 29 of 384)

Beautiful Custom Winchester 1885 Low Wall Schuetzen Rifle .25 WCF 28" Falling Block

Our Assessment: When they were first manufactured, the John Browning designed Winchester Model 1885 rifles were deemed stronger than the prior Sharps rifles, and the different sight and trigger options available made them an instant hit with hunters and target shooters alike. The Model 1885 rifles were targeted at competitors in "Match Shooting", a sport which was extremely popular from about 1871 to 1917. The Winchester rifles challenged the Sharps, Remington, Maynard and Ballard rifles, and quickly became known for their reliability and accuracy. Major Ned Roberts, inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge, described the Model 1885 as "the most reliable, strongest and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced". Alternately translated as "shooter" and "marksman", Schuetzen also refers to a German shooting sport from the turn of the 20th century. As with many types of firearms, gunmakers took the design and manufacture of Schuetzen rifles to the extreme, with elaborately carved stocks, engraved receivers, and capable of astounding precision. This Winchester 1885 Low Wall has been transformed into a work of art and is simply beautiful. It is now a Schuetzen rifle with double set triggers and has been rechambered and rebored for .25 WCF. The lever has been customized to represent Winchester's final style of Schuetzen lever. The metal has been restored to a vibrant case color and soft blue. It has been set in beautiful checkered walnut stocks and is topped with nice iron sights and a Lyman 5A scope. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it should shoot well too! The bore is bright with sharp rifling and is free of erosion. This will be a nice addition to any collection! Please see our photos and good luck!

Winchester Model 1885 High Wall .32-40 Rifle & Winchester A5 Scope

Lot #1030 (Sale Order 31 of 384)

Winchester Model 1885 High Wall .32-40 30" Single Shot Rifle & Winchester A5 Scope

Our Assessment: When they were first manufactured, the John Browning designed Winchester Model 1885 rifles were deemed stronger than the prior Sharps rifles, and the different sight and trigger options available made them an instant hit with hunters and target shooters alike. The Model 1885 rifles were targeted at competitors in "Match Shooting", a sport which was extremely popular from about 1871 to 1917. The Winchester rifles challenged the Sharps, Remington, Maynard and Ballard rifles, and quickly became known for their reliability and accuracy. Major Ned Roberts, inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge, described the Model 1885 as "the most reliable, strongest and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced".This 1904 example is a cool one, it has a 30" No. 3 profile barrel, set trigger, target sights, and has been equipped with a vintage Winchester A5 scope. It comes with a Cody Firearms Museum letter as well as a photo of the original owner, Elihu Ulysses Beecher. You can never go wrong with a Browning designed Winchester!

Our Assessment: This a Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall rifle chambered in .32 WCF and made in 1889. When they were first manufactured, the John Browning designed Model 1885 rifles were deemed stronger than the prior Sharps rifles, and the different sight and trigger options available made them an instant hit with hunters and target shooters alike.

Major Ned Roberts, inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge, described the Model 1885 as "the most reliable, strongest and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced." This example should be a soft shooter, with the .32-20 cartridge chambered in a 28" #2 Weight octagonal barrel. If you're just looking for a piece with great history attached to it to add to your collection, the Model 1885 is the first firearm Winchester would produce using a Browning design, marking the first time John Moses Browning works with a firearms company and starts a relationship that would see some of the best Western firearms produced in history.

Factory Winchester 1890 Prototype Magazine Lever Action Rifle, Circa 1906

Lot #1032 (Sale Order 33 of 384)

Factory Winchester 1890 Prototype Magazine Lever Action Rifle, .22 WRF & Drawings, Circa 1906

Our Assessment: ever since 1890, when Winchester brought out a slide-action rifle with that year's model number, the Model 1890 pretty much ruled the roost for rimfire repeaters, also known as gallery guns in a specific configuration. This tubular-magazine rimfire was wildly popular not only in the plethora of shooting galleries that were across the U.S. but in the hands of young boys and men who loved to shoot and hunt small game. The Model 1890 was a John Browning design and the first successful repeating rimfire rifle. Sixteen years later an almost identical rifle was introduced as the Model 1906.While the 1906 was quite successful and sold nearly three quarters of a million units, one has to wonder why Winchester would introduce a "different" model which was almost exactly the same. Was there maybe some other plan in 1906 that was abandoned? Maybe Winchester wanted to get back to their roots and, as they attempted with repeating shotguns in 1887, wanted to put the 1890 into the familiar form-factor of the lever action that made Winchester famous? This rifle, and its sister which resides in the Cody Firearms Museum, would certainly indicate this was the case. The included Winchester factory drawing, coincidentally dated March 1906, is also pretty persuasive.This rifle has almost the same bolt, lifter and general operating system as the 1890, but the mechanism is driven by a finger-lever rather than a slide handle. The receiver takes down in the same way as the 1890, the magazine assembly is the same. By all appearances, this was Winchester's attempt to convert the 1890 to a lever action..that never went into full production. The rifle itself is in Fine condition and doesn't appear to have seen much use. If there were more than two of these made, you'll have to find the others. This a fantastically Rare opportunity for the Winchester collector to own a piece of Winchester history that never came to pass. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Complete Winchester Ammunition 1897 Double-W Cartridge Display Board

Incredible & Complete Winchester Ammunition 1897 Double-W Cartridge Display Board

The Winchester Repeating Arms Company was founded by Oliver Winchester, previously a clothing manufacturer, who would acquire the rights to the Volcanic Repeating Arms Co. from Smith & Wesson, producing some of the earliest, and certainly most famous, repeating cartridge rifles. The company would go on to be dominant in rifle and shotgun manufacture and innovation and quite competitive in the ammunition industry. Winchester was quite skilled at marketing both their firearms and ammunition.Part of the marketing effort for their ammunition were immensely impressive Cartridge Display Boards such as this one, showing the wide variety of ammunition available from their factories. This example is an 1897 pattern "Double-W" Cartridge Display Board, presenting quite the array of cartridges from classic black powder rounds and cutting-edge smokeless cartridges, but still having tins of percussion caps decorating the points of the "W".This example shows honest wear for its age, fairly well preserved and ready to display. In Very Good condition as ANTIQUE, some separation between board and frame at corners, some cartridges removed and glued back in place, normal discoloration and wear for age. Per the consignor, it was originally hung in their grandfather's hardware store, then stored in the attic of their family home. As a child, the consignor would sneak into the attic to pull cartridges off the board, keeping them in his own little collection. Upon inheriting the board, the consignor replaced the cartridges that had been plucked off, though not all of them were replaced with period Winchester cartridges. The Winchester Cartridge Boards are highly desirable among collectors, not only for their connection to Winchester and the firearms/ammunition industry, but also as an interesting example of late 19th Century/early 20th Century industrial marketing. It will make a wonderful display in any collection.

Very Fine ANTIQUE Colt Model 1883 Hammerless 26" 12 Ga Side by Side Shotgun

Our Assessment: From R.L. Wilson's The Book of Colt Firearms, page 488 "Colt's Model 1883 shotgun was one of the finest products MANUFACTURED in the firm's long history. While production was comparatively limited (total only 8366), every gun made was of the excellence promised in the promotional literature." This shotgun was made in 1893, with 26" damascus barrels chambered for 12 gauge shells. The stocks have been refinished, so they look great for their age. This model was not sold commercially in large orders, generally only as a custom ordered piece. It was one of the highest priced models at the time and you can see the quality of craftsmanship in the gun, still in good shape after more than a century. This one has 26" barrels and the choke indicates it was intended for upland game. With a total production for all chamberings of only about 8,500 guns, all of the 1883 models are desirable. This will make a nice addition to any Colt or American shotgun collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

extremely Rare Winchester "Class A" British Hammer 10 Ga 30" Side by Side Shotgun

Our Assessment: Winchester collectors will all be familiar with their repeating shotguns. The lever action Model 1887 and pump action Models 1893, 1897 and Model 12. When it comes to double barrel shotguns, most will be familiar with the Models 21 and 24. Less common are the first Winchester shotguns which were not produced by Winchester at all. In 1878, P.G. Sanford was tasked with traveling to England to purchase double guns to be sold by Winchester in America. Selling European shotguns under an American brand was not that uncommon at the time, but most lower quality guns were procured from Belgium and Winchester purchased from firms as prestigious as W. C. Scott & Sons. While the guns were sources from multiple firms, they were made to five quality grade with "D" as the lowest grade, increasing in quality to "A" and finally to the "Match Gun".This a Class A Winchester double gun which is in quite good shape given its age. The metal retains much of its original finish while the stocks have been replaced, so the gun looks great. The bores are in good shape and the gun still locks up tight. There were some 10,000 double guns procured by Winchester in total, and given the spread in the grades, there can't be that many Class A's left in this sort of condition. For the discerning Winchester collector, this will make a great addition. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Very Rare Winchester Model 1893 Pump Action Riot Gun With Cody Letter

Lot #1039 (Sale Order 40 of 384)

Very Rare & Sharp Winchester Model 1893 20" Pump Action Riot Gun With Cody Letter, ANTIQUE

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1893 was a groundbreaking pump-action shotgun that was designed by the legendary gunsmith John Moses Browning. Unlike Browning's Model 1887 which had a lever-actuated action, this was a true pump-action shotgun. Although an extremely well designed firearm, the Model 1893 could not sustain the pressure from smokeless powder shells which forced Browning to improve the 1893. His efforts yielded the Winchester Model 1897, an improved version of the m/1893 that was made to fire smokeless powder shells. Winchester retrieved as many 1893's as they could and replaced them with 1897's, making the model seldom-seen. Although it had a short lived production run (ca 1893-1897), the m/1893 would serve as the basis for some of the most successful shotguns ever to be made (the Model 1897 and later Model 1912).This particular specimen was made mid-production, in 1894. We have seen less than half a dozen correct Winchester Model 1893 Riot Guns and this one of the best.

Scarce Winchester Model 1893 30" Pump Action shotgun, ANTIQUE

Lot #1040 (Sale Order 41 of 384)

Scarce and Attractive Winchester Model 1893 30" Pump Action shotgun, MFD 1897 ANTIQUE

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1893 was a groundbreaking pump-action shotgun that was designed by the legendary gunsmith John Moses Browning. Unlike Browning's Model 1887 which had a lever-actuated action, this was a true pump-action shotgun. Although an extremely well designed firearm, the Model 1893 could not sustain the pressure from smokeless powder shells which forced Browning to improve the 1893. His efforts yielded the Winchester Model 1897, an improved version of the m/1893 that was made to fire smokeless powder shells. Winchester retrieved as many 1893's as they could and replaced them with 1897's, making the model seldom-seen. Although it had a short lived production run (ca 1893-1897), the m/1893 would serve as the basis for some of the most successful shotguns ever to be made (the Model 1897 and later Model 1912).This particular specimen was made near the end of the gun's production run in early 1897. This can be ascertained by the "B" marking above the serial number; guns marked this way are dated between January and June of 1897. These guns (the Model 1893 shotguns that is) could not safely fire smokeless powder rounds, and can only safely fire black powder shells which are now obsolete. The gun has wear typical of an ANTIQUE firearm, but it remains mechanically sound. This a great option for historical firearms collectors.

Sights / Optics: There is a brass bead fixed by the muzzle.

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stock is two-piece wood featuring a corn cob style forend, a rounded pistol grip, a straight comb and a smooth steel butt-plate. The forearm appears to have received a new coat of varnish at some point in time but is sound and free of cracks. The stock shows a little imperfect wood to metal fit and some cracks at the wrist. The fit may be shrinkage as the finish looks old and possibly original. There are many dings and bruises in the wood. The LOP is 13 7/8" from the trigger to the rear of the butt-plate. The butt-plate is generally brown with erosion. Overall, the stock is in Very Good condition for an ANTIQUE.

Type of Finish: Blue

Bore Condition: The bore is bright with only the lightest and most scattered erosion. exceptional for the age.

Overall Condition: The shotgun retains about 65% of its metal finish. The gun has routine handling marks, some nicks, patches of finish loss and scuffs.

After Frederic Remington "Coming Through The Rye" 30" Bronze Statue

Lot #1052 (Sale Order 51 of 384)

After Frederic Remington "Coming Through The Rye" 30" Bronze Statue on a Black Marble Base

Frederic Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer that specialized in Western American Art. He played a significant role in capturing the spirit of the American frontier in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Remington's work is often associated with the Cowboy and Native American cultures, as well as the U.S. Cavalry. This incredible artwork was Remington's most ambitious sculpture. "Coming Through The Rye" depicts four cowboys riding their galloping horses whilst shooting their pistols into the air and acting boisterous, suggesting the bravado and energy that characterized the frontier way of life. This famous sculpture was inspired by the artist's own illustrations, one published in "Century Magazine" in October 1888, the other in "Harper's Weekly" in December 1889. This bronze statue and marble base are in excellent condition, only showing light handling and storage marks. The finish is complete with no defects. It measures 30" W x 28" H x 24" L. "Frederic Remington" is marked on the base, there are no other markings. This thought provoking and very large sculpture is a must have for any Western collection.

1850's Ranch Ox Yoke from Inwood California

Lot #1053 (Sale Order 52 of 384)

1850's Ranch Ox Yoke from Inwood California, Handmade Double Oxen Neck Bow Wood Harness

This dual neck yoke (or bow yoke) is a shaped wooden cross piece that binds to the necks of a pair of oxen (or occasionally to horses). It is held on the animals' necks by an oxbow, from which it gets its name, which enables a pair of oxen or other animal to pull together on a load. The yoke is a simple & effective instrument in both design and construction. It has very few moving parts, and unlike a horse harness, which usually has an elaborate system of straps and buckles to fit and adjust, it is simple and quick for even a single person to hitch up a trained team of oxen. This example is marked "W M" in the center. This Yoke was used in the mid 19th century on a Ranch in Inwood California. In 1860, a grizzly bear was killing cattle on this Inwood ranch. A rancher went out to dispatch but never returned, he was killed by the animal. His neighbor went looking for him and was also killed by the bear. enough was enough, several ranchers went together to shoot the bear and they succeeded and took down the dangerous animal. This yoke is being held together by bolts and nails, the metal rings and other components show much oxidation. The rough and dry wood is chipped in a few spots, it shows many cracks and splinters. This yoke is very old but still remains aesthetically pleasing, it is a fascinating piece of Americana and would make nice decor for a farm or homestead.

Civil War Colt Model 1849 Pocket .31 Cal 6" Percussion Revolver, MFD 1862

Lot #1064 (Sale Order 63 of 384)

Civil War Colt Model 1849 Pocket .31 Cal 6" Percussion Revolver, MFD 1862

Our Assessment: This rather diminutive revolver, an older, yet smaller brother to the 36 caliber Model 1851 Navy, met with the largest sales unit volume in all of Colt's percussion line. Indeed, no other percussion revolver made in America could match "The 1849" production record. Made from 1850 through 1873, the total MANUFACTURED was in excess of 325,000 in America, plus approximately 11,000 in London. Popular as a defense weapon, many thousands were sold in Western America to pioneer families. Soldiers appreciated the compact little pistols, and photographs of Civil War troops frequently show a sprinkling of the Model 1849 tucked into belts or in holsters. This 1849 was made in 1862, after the outbreak of the Civil War.Despite being a "pocket" model, this example has a 6" barrel and a six-round cylinder which gives it the same capacity as a larger 1851 or 1860 Model, though notably less power. The revolver has had a few parts replaced, but is functioning properly. This perfect for display as a conversation piece or in a collection of early Colt revolvers. It is also interesting to collectors as it was produced during the Civil War and may have been carried on a belt by a Union soldier.

Make: Colt

Model: 1849 Pocket

Serial Number: 220468

Year of Manufacture: 1862

Caliber: .31 Caliber

Action Type: Single Action Percussion Revolver

Barrel Length: 6"

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a brass post at the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a "V"-notch integral to the hammer, visible when cocked.

Type of Finish: Blue, Case Color & Silver Plated Brass

Finish Originality: Original to the parts. The wedge and loading lever are not original to the gun.

Bore Condition: The bore is gray and the rifling is well defined. There is scattered erosion and pitting in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 5 or 6 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This handgun retains about 5% of its metal finish. Remaining finish is mostly in trace silver plate on the trigger guard. The steel surfaces have mostly gone to a uniform patina. There is wear and erosion around the nipples. There are scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. There are tool marks around the wedge. There are some scattered spots of erosion. There is more notable erosion in the hammer slot immediately behind the nipple. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with usable slots. The markings range from clear to worn, but legible.

Our Assessment: This 1849 was made in 1853, several years before the outbreak of the Civil War. Despite being a "pocket" model, it was offered with longer barrels and this example has a 5" barrel. The serialized parts on this revolver match apart from the cylinder which has been replaced. The bore is more than decent for its age and the mechanics are strong. It certainly looks like it has a story to tell. Who knows? Maybe it was carried in a belt during the Civil War!

Soldiers appreciated the compact little pistols, and photographs of Civil War troops frequently show a sprinkling of the Model 1849 tucked into belts or in holsters. This 1849 was made in 1863, in the middle of the Civil War.Despite being a "pocket" model, this example has a six-round cylinder which gives it the same capacity as a larger 1851 or 1860 Model, though notably less power. The revolver has matching serialized parts and is functioning properly. This perfect for display as a conversation piece or in a collection of early Colt revolvers. It is also interesting to collectors as it was produced during the Civil War and may have been carried on a belt or in a pocket by a Union soldier.

General Edward Ferrero Inscribed Civil War Colt 1861 Navy Revolver, MFD 1862

Lot #1068 (Sale Order 67 of 384)

General Edward Ferrero Inscribed Civil War Colt 1861 Navy Revolver, MFD 1862

Our Assessment: The Colt 1861 Navy revolver was an update to the earlier 1851 model, incorporating the round barrel and creeping loading lever of the 1860 Army. In all respects, it is a great percussion revolver, but it saw limited production for a few reasons. Limited numbers were procured by the Government as there were already large purchases of the 1851 and 1860 models. After the Civil War, the civilian market was flooded with surplus weapons, limiting demand for new guns. Colt's factory had a disastrous fire in 1864, and by then cartridge revolvers were starting to hit the market. For these reasons, despite the quality of the design, there were fewer than 40,000 produced between 1861 and 1873 when the model was discontinued. It would, however, have an influence on the Single Action Army, which had a similar grip frame (though steel instead of brass) and would retain the 7 1/2" barrel length for the Model 1873 adopted by the U.S. Army. This Model 1861 revolver is of particular interest for Civil War collectors as it is inscribed "Col. e. Ferrero" on the backstrap. In 1862 there was a Colonel Edward Ferrero commanding the 51st New York Regiment, later in the year being promoted to Brigadier General and Breveted Major General in 1864 for bravery and meritorious service. Outside of his military service, Ferrero ran a successful dancing school business in New York City. The revolver is accompanied by a large quantity of documentation of Ferrero including documents from the National Archives. This a wonderful piece of history which would take a prized place in a Civil War or US military firearms collection.

Type of Finish: Blue, Case Color & Silver-Plated Brass

Finish Originality: Original, serial-matching.

Bore Condition: The bore is gray. The rifling is well defined, sharp where not interrupted by erosion. There is light erosion scattered through the bore with some patches of more moderate-severe erosion and pitting. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 4 or 5 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This revolver retains about 20% of its metal finish. There is some silver plate remaining at the top of the backstrap, the butt, and corners of the trigger guard. There is infrequent case color in well protected areas. The cylinder and barrel have infrequent remaining finish, having mostly worn or been cleaned to white. There are some tool marks and erosion around the wedge and loading groove. There are some scattered nicks and scratches. The action shows operational wear including some turn-wear on the cylinder, but the safety studs on the rear of the cylinder are intact. The wedge screw is missing. The remaining screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with useable slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this revolver is in Good condition as ANTIQUE (see Mechanics).

Mechanics: The cylinder ratchet has a burr that catches the hand in one chamber position, preventing the hammer from being pulled back due to the cylinder stop still being engaged. Otherwise, the action functions correctly. The cylinder locks up with minor play on each chamber. The barrel has minor play to the frame. The trigger is crisp. We have not fired this revolver. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This revolver comes with a Colt Archives letter and a variety of documentation about Edward Ferrero, both photocopies of information from various publications as well as documents requested from the National Archives.

Colt 1st Gen Single Action Army Dual Caliber .44 Special/Russian Revolver

Lot #1069 (Sale Order 68 of 384)

Colt 1st Generation Single Action Army Dual Caliber .44 Special/Russian 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! The 1st Generation Single Action Army was produced from 1873 to 1941, though sales did fall off toward the end of the 1st Generation. While more than 344,000 of the revolvers were made from 1873 to 1922, in the last 18 years of production there were only about 13,000 made.This one of the later 1st Generation, made in 1930 during the Great Depression. It is an exceptional piece not only for its scarce chambering, but also for its factory checkered backstrap. It is what collectors refer to as a "Dual Caliber", chambered for .44 S&W Special and marked for this cartridge and for the .44 Russian cartridge. With approximately 500 such revolvers produced, it is a scarce chambering, and there may not be another with factory checkering on the backstrap. The revolver shows honest wear for its age and comes with a Colt factory letter confirming its configuration. This will take a prized place in even an advanced Single Action Army collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

In this writer's opinion, this bore rates 8 or 9 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 revolver retains about 70% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The grip areas show handling wear. The frame has strong case color in protected areas and around raised features with other areas muted. There is finish wear on the left of the barrel and along the ejector housing.

1963 Colt 2nd Generation 5 1/2" .44 Special Single Action Army Revolver & Box

Our Assessment: The Colt Single Action Army is perhaps the quintessential old west handgun, produced for more than a century, serving the U.S. Army as its sidearm from 1873 into the first world war and captivating audiences on the silver screen. The SAA was discontinued by Colt as it tooled up to provide for the WWII war effort, and it was thought by Colt that the design was obsolete, swing-out cylinder revolvers had been around for half a century and autoloaders were gaining in popularity. Then, with the advent of television and western programs such as Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, and The Gene Autry Show, American interest in the guns that won the west was reborn. In 1956, Colt reintroduced the Single Action Army, this new production run now referred to as the 2nd Generation SAA's.This one such example from 1963. It is in about excellent condition with a great bore, strong mechanics and light wear given its age of 60 years. The gun is chambered for the .44 Special cartridge, a more mild round than the .44 Magnum, suitable for target shooting and some small game, also desirable among collectors. The chambering is scarce in 2nd Generation production. According to George Garton's book on the post-war Single Action Army revolvers, only 1,131 were produced with a 5 1/2" barrel and blued finish, such as this one. The revolver comes with a period-correct "Stagecoach" box. This would make a great addition to a Colt collection as an early second generation and should prove to be a fun and classy shooter.

Colt Army Model 1892 .38 LC DA/SA Double Revolver 1892 1st Year, ANTIQUE

Our Assessment: This U.S. Army Model of 1892 is a first-year of production and saw service with the… U.S. Army! The 1892 was itself a continuation from and refinement of the 1889 Navy revolver. The 1892 would not be the last designation—1894, 1895, 1896, 1901, and 1903 versions would also be produced, each featuring minor upgrades, fixes, or specifications depending on which organization or individual was using it. Teddy Roosevelt carried one at the battle of San Juan Hill; Wells Fargo armed their workers with them; domestic police departments and several South American armies used them.This example is especially noteworthy for still retaining its original grips which feature cartouches, "R.A.C." inspection marks and serial matching on the crane cut, crane, cylinder release and grip frame. Colt collectors love these revolvers and seek them out frequently. This a quality firearm even after this 130+ years old firearm, with most of its original finish intact. We advise anyone that isn't a Colt collector to become one, and no doubt this pistol is a great place to start. Good luck in your bidding!

Colt Model Bankers Special .38 S&W 2" Double Action Revolver & Box

Our Assessment:Introduced in 1928 as a revolver for those who needed something small and quickly deployed, such as bank employees, the Bankers' Special is a small-frame, 6-shot revolver chambered for the .38 Colt Police Positive cartridge. This the same cartridge as .38 S&W, but Colt was loath to mark their primary competitor's name on their products or advertising. This short cartridge allowed for a shorter cylinder, reducing size and weight. This example is in Fine condition, with more wear from storage than actual use.

Elbert Searle Prototype Savage .32 ACP Semi Automatic Pistol

Lot #1087 (Sale Order 86 of 384)

Elbert Searle Prototype Savage .32 ACP Semi Automatic Pistol

Our Assessment: Savage Arms Company's semi-automatic pistols have a very interesting history which starts entirely outside of Savage. While the company was busy manufacturing its rotary magazine lever-action rifle, three men in Philadelphia were laying the groundwork for what was likely the most promising competitor to John Browning's Model 1911. William Condit was a businessman who opened a machine shop in Pennsylvania in 1903 and employed two inventors, Morris Smith and Elbert Searle. Of these two, Elbert Searle was the man who developed the mechanism for the quite successful Models 1907, 1915 and 1917 pistols which Savage Arms Co. produced.Elbert Hamilton Searle was born in east Hampton, Massachusetts just before the end of the Civil War. Prior to the Great War, Searle traveled to Berlin, Germany to patent his handgun designs in Europe where he met Elizabeth Fix, an office clerk who Searle fell in love with and convinced to come back with him to Los Angeles, California and be his wife. Arthur Savage had similarly relocated to Southern California and had continued interest in improving upon the Searle pistol design. Searle would eventually relocate again to the Sacramento River delta area where he pivoted from firearms and mechanical design to rice farming, though he did keep his hand in mechanical design, making instruments for the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He lived to the age of 71 and raised a daughter, Marguerite who was born in 1912. His grandchildren would describe him: "Elbert Searle was the epitome of an ‘old-school' craftsman, dedicated to the transcendence of cutting-edge, exquisitely finished work. Although my brother and I never had the honor of meeting him, we continue to feel privileged to have grown up in his shade."This Searle prototype is fascinating as it has features consistent with Searle's 1905 patent drawings which were dropped during the development of the Model 1907. The slide serrations wrap all the way around the top, the magazine release is immediately below the trigger guard, and the grips are secured by screws. Significantly, as seen in the patent drawings, the slide is secured to the frame with a sprung latch in front of the trigger guard, a feature which would be extensively re-designed for the production models. It was found by one of Searle's descendants in his desk and is an intriguing and Rare piece to add to any collection. It represents the first pistols designed by Searle for Savage, the first commercial double-stack magazine pistol, as well as the greater landscape of automatic pistol development in the early 20th Century. This pistol will be the envy of any Savage pistol collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

WWII General Motors Guide Lamp Division FP-45 Liberator Pistol

Lot #1088 (Sale Order 87 of 384)

WWII General Motors Guide Lamp Division FP-45 Liberator Pistol

Our Assessment: The FP-45 Liberator was a pistol MANUFACTURED by the United States military during World War II for use by resistance forces in occupied territories. The Liberator was never issued to American or Allied troops and there is no documented instance of the weapon being used for their intended purpose. Many of the FP-45 pistols were not distributed and were destroyed by Allied forces after the war; most of those distributed were lost or disposed of without any combat use.The concept was suggested by a Polish military attachÃ© in March 1942. The project was assigned to the US Army Joint Psychological Warfare Committee and was designed for the United States Army two months later by the Inland Manufacturing Division of the General Motors Corporation in Dayton, Ohio. Production was undertaken by General Motors Guide Lamp Division to avoid conflicting priorities with Inland Division production of the M1 carbine. The army designated the weapon the Flare Projector Caliber .45 hence the designation FP-45. This was done to disguise the fact that a pistol was being mass produced. The proposed intent was to drop these weapons at concentration camps where internees would pick up these weapons overcome Guards and hopefully liberate the camp. The original engineering drawings label the barrel as "tube", the trigger as "yoke", the firing pin as "control rod", and the trigger guard as "spanner". The Guide Lamp Division plant in Anderson, Indiana assembled a million of these weapons. The Liberator project took about 6 months from conception to end of production with about 11 weeks of actual manufacturing time, done by 300 workers.General Eisenhower's staff never saw the practicality in mass dropping the Liberator over occupied Europe and authorized distribution of fewer than 25,000 of the half million FP-45 pistols shipped to Great Britain for the French resistance. Generals Joseph Stillwell and Douglas MacArthur were similarly unenthusiastic about the other half of the pistols scheduled for shipment to the Pacific. The Army then turned 450,000 Liberators over to the OSS. Resistance fighters in both theatres were supplied with more effective weapons whenever possible, and French use of the FP-45 remains undocumented; although OSS distributed a few to Greek resistance forces in 1944. One-hundred-thousand FP-45 pistols were shipped to China in 1943, but the number actually distributed remains unknown. A few were distributed to Philippine troops under the Commonwealth Army and Constabulary and resistance fighters.This example is in nice shape and would be a great addition to any WWII small arms collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Rock Island Arsenal M15 GO251 General Officer Pistol, Uniform and Grouping

Lot #1089 (Sale Order 88 of 384)

Rock Island Arsenal M15 GO251 General Officer Pistol, General Donald J. Brown, Uniform and Grouping

Our Assessment: While Colt 1903 and 1908 models were used as General Officer pistols from 1944 until 1972, both models were discontinued by Colt in the 1940s and the Army's inventory eventually ran out. Rock Island Arsenal tested some commercial models, including the Walther P38 and Smith & Wesson 39, but eventually decided to produce their own GO pistol by customizing 1911A1 model pistols. Gunsmiths at the Arsenal were already very familiar with this sort of work after producing many National Match competition pistols. The result of their work was the M15. First introduced in 1972, the M15 has a 3/4" shorter slide, a single locking lug for the barrel, National Match sights, National Match trigger, proprietary guide-rod assembly, recoil spring plug and bushing, and the barrel is nickel plated. The frame was modified with National Match style checkering on the front strap, six horizontal serrations on the mainspring housing and Herrett's grips customized with a name plate and Rock Island Arsenal escutcheon. Only 1,004 were produced before the model was discontinued due to cost concerns.This example, GO 251, was issued to Major General Donald Brown. Brown served as an enlisted soldier in the European Theater during WWII, receiving a commission and Company command in 1949. He was issued this M15 in August of 1974 and took command of the 84th Division, U.S. Army Reserve in 1976. The pistol is in Fine-plus condition and is accompanied by a US Army Major General's uniform and a variety of accessories for display. This pistol will make a wonderful addition to a collection of military firearms, especially with its rich history. Please see our photos and good luck!

Model: M15, General Officer's Pistol

Serial Number: GO 251

Year of Manufacture: 1974

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a serrated, ramped blade fixed to the front of the slide. The rear sight is a National Match-style square notch dovetailed to the rear of the slide.

Stock Configuration & Condition: The grips are two-piece checkered walnut. Rock Island Arsenal started with standard Herrett's stocks, but the left was inlet for a metal plate (should the General wish to have their name marked on the gun, this example is un-marked) and the right was inlet for a Rock Island Arsenal escutcheon. The front strap was also checkered by Rock Island Arsenal in the National Match style for additional grip. The top of the right panel was relieved by Rock Island Arsenal so that it would not obscure the serial marking. The grips have minor handling wear with a few small marks. The checkering is well defined. There are no chips or cracks. Overall, the grips are in Fine-excellent condition.

Type of Finish: Blued, Nickel trigger and barrel.

Finish Originality: Original to assembly by Rock Island Arsenal

Bore Condition: The bore is bright and the rifling is sharp. There is no erosion in the bore, but there is a small tool mark near the muzzle. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 9 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This pistol retains about 98% of its metal finish. There are a few scattered minor marks with a scratch on the left of the frame below the slide stop. There is some erosion under the finish on the top-front of the slide and the bottom of the dust cover. The action shows minor operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to lightly tool marked with a strong slot. The markings are clear. Overall, this pistol is in Fine-plus condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. It has both a manual and grip safety and the trigger pull is crisp. The slide has no play to the frame, but moves smoothly. We did not fire this pistol. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a single 7-round magazine, leather-wrapped baton inscribed "DJB" with Combat Infantry and Parachutist pins, a copy of from DA 444 stating that this pistol was in Major General Donald J. Brown's possession as of January 2, 1980, an assortment of belts and holster including a GO belt, custom display case for the pistol, cleaning accessories, and a US Army Major General's uniform with ribbon rack, Combat Infantry Badge, Parachutist Badge and Army Presidential Unit Citation Military Ribbon.

This pistol was originally made for the French Shanghai Police and has a factory lanyard loop, thumb safety block (screw hole above safety) and special Shanghai Municipal Police magazine (with holes in front and rear).

Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army, On Board USS Memphis for Return of 'Spirit of St. Louis'

Lot #1103 (Sale Order 102 of 384)

USS Memphis Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army, On Board for Return of 'Spirit of St. Louis', Lindbergh

Our Assessment: While originally shipped to the U.S. Army, in April 1925 the pistol was issued to the Omaha class light cruiser USS Memphis. The pistol was still on the ship in June, 1927 when the Memphis picked up Charles Lindbergh and the 'Spirit of St Louis' from Southampton, England after his famous nonstop flight from New York to Paris, dropping both off at the Washington Navy Yard eight days later. This pistol stayed with the Memphis until 1939 when it was reported as being lost overboard by Seaman 2nd Class T.B.H. Askin. Given that the pistol is not lost, it appears that it fell off the proverbial truck, or in this case boat, and was stolen or lost and has now arrived here. A side note regarding Thomas Barwiss Hagstoz Askin Jr., the Seaman who reported the pistol lost in 1939. Askin joined the Navy in March 1938 at the age of 17. He began a diary in August of 1941 while stationed aboard the Memphis to count down his last 60 days in the United States Navy. While his enlistment was up on October 13, the day before his 21st Birthday, Memphis was at sea in October and did not return to New York until December. Specifically, they did not depart for New York until December 6, 1941. Askin's diary notes:"Dec 6. Today we were notified-we are leaving tomorrow for New York. Am I happy-yea man.Dec 7 - Today the Japs attacked Hawaii and I am plenty worried. Underway for New York.Dec. 8 America declared war on Japan.Dec. 9 - Cancelled all discharges and am I sick. everything happens to me."It would appear that the following years somewhat changed Aksin's outlook on service with the Navy as he remained in service until 1958. His diary, official service record and a pictorial history of the WWII service of the USS Texas as well as an assortment of buttons pins and medals now reside with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History collection.This a fascinating example of an early Model 1911 with a rich, and documented, history. This pistol is destined for a high-end Colt collection and will display well with the included U.S.S. Memphis cap

Lot #1109 (Sale Order 108 of 384)

1917 Production WWI Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP 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.This a Colt Model 1911 that was made during WWI in 1917. The pistol has correct markings and features apart from the thumb-safety which is a slightly later vintage part. The pistol is in Good condition with 25% of its original finish remaining. The bore is fairly strong with scattered light erosion. This a pistol which has honest wear consistent with an issued sidearm in one of the most destructive conflicts in history, and will make a nice addition to a 1911 specific collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Lot #1110 (Sale Order 109 of 384)

USS Memphis Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army, On Board for Return of 'Spirit of St. Louis', Lindbergh

Our Assessment: While originally shipped to the U.S. Army, in April 1925 the pistol was issued to the Omaha class light cruiser USS Memphis. The pistol was still on the ship in June, 1927 when the Memphis picked up Charles Lindbergh and the 'Spirit of St Louis' from Southampton, England after his famous nonstop flight from New York to Paris, dropping both off at the Washington Navy Yard eight days later. This pistol stayed with the Memphis until 1939 when it was reported as being lost overboard by Seaman 2nd Class T.B.H. Askin. Given that the pistol is not lost, it appears that it fell off the proverbial truck, or in this case boat, and was stolen or lost and has now arrived here. A side note regarding Thomas Barwiss Hagstoz Askin Jr., the Seaman who reported the pistol lost in 1939. Askin joined the Navy in March 1938 at the age of 17. He began a diary in August of 1941 while stationed aboard the Memphis to count down his last 60 days in the United States Navy. While his enlistment was up on October 13, the day before his 21st Birthday, Memphis was at sea in October and did not return to New York until December. Specifically, they did not depart for New York until December 6, 1941. Askin's diary notes:"Dec 6. Today we were notified-we are leaving tomorrow for New York. Am I happy-yea man.Dec 7 - Today the Japs attacked Hawaii and I am plenty worried. Underway for New York.Dec. 8 America declared war on Japan.Dec. 9 - Cancelled all discharges and am I sick. everything happens to me."It would appear that the following years somewhat changed Aksin's outlook on service with the Navy as he remained in service until 1958. His diary, official service record and a pictorial history of the WWII service of the USS Texas as well as an assortment of buttons pins and medals now reside with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History collection.This a fascinating example of an early Model 1911 with a rich, and documented, history. This pistol is destined for a high-end Colt collection and will display well with the included U.S.S. Memphis cap

There is some light erosion under the grip panels and infrequent minor erosion under the finish.

There are some other scattered minor nicks and scuffs, including some nicks under the finish. The action shows operational wear. There is scratching on the chamber hood and there are grind marks on the bottom of the barrel in front of the link-lugs, possibly to accommodate the early-style guide-rod which has long, sharp corners. Despite being refinished, the markings are still quite clear, especially on the frame. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots.

USMC Associated 1918 WWI Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP Pistol

Our Assessment: This Model of 1911 was produced in September 1918 and shipped to the Bush Terminal in Brooklyn, New York, bound for the American expeditionary Force fighting in Europe. The shipment likely arrived just before the Armistice in early November, if it left port at all. That may explain why there is so much original finish left on this 105 year old service pistol, but it has one more mystery. The slide and frame are each marked with the enigmatic circled-"S" marking, frequently associated by collectors with R.F. Sedgley. Sedgley himself is best known for his work on M1903 rifles for the United States Marine Corps. These rifles received a very similar marking, and some collectors believe M1911 pistols with the circled-"S" marking are similarly associated with the USMC. In any case, this a nice 1911 that will add to any collection.

Rare, 1 of 1,600 X-Number Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP 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. Regular serial production proceeded past 2.5 million by the end of WWII, but there were instances, some innocuous and others nefarious, where serial markings were worn or removed from the frame. This occurred enough that a new serial range was authorized in 1924 with X-prefixes to replace these lost serial markings. Through 1957, some 6,000 of these "X-number" pistols were marked in three separate series.This example is from the First Series of X-number guns and was refurbished by either Springfield Armory or Augusta Arsenal (it is not marked to indicate which). Numbers X1181-X4385 were assigned between 1925 and 1953, so this could have been done before, during or after WWII. It is a Model of 1911, with a straight mainspring housing and lacking the relief-cuts behind the trigger guard, changes which were made on the 1911A1. It is equipped with a WWI-era Model of 1911 U.S. Army slide that still has its original finish. These X-number pistols are scarce and an interesting area for collectors. It's always nice to have some idea of the story behind a century old service pistol. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: This an interesting example of the Model of 1911 due to its "X-Number" serial marking. The frame was produced between 1912-1917 with a slightly later production slide and a post-war Springfield barrel installed. The original serial number is no longer present, but the pistol bears an X-number and an Augusta Arsenal "AA" refurbish marking. The serial number is one assigned to Augusta after WWII for the purpose of replacing serial markings which had been worn, defaced or removed. The pistol appears to have seen limited use since this refurbishment and will make an interesting addition to a collection as one of the 1,600 X-number pistols of the Third Series.

Rare & Matching 1916 Production Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP Pistol

Our Assessment: With just more than 4,200 Model 1911 pistols produced and shipped by Colt in 1916, it is by far the lowest production year with some individual shipments in 1918 and 1919 eclipsing the entire annual production of 1916. Model 1911 pistols from this year have therefore become a desirable piece among collectors with a few interesting features and variations even within the limited production. The model marking on the slide is typically notably above center, as seen on this example. For most of the year's production, principal inspector Francis "Frank" Hosmer was reassigned to the San Antonio Arsenal in Texas and pistols were instead inspected by W.e. Strong. Ironically, this example was produced after Hosmer's return and has his "H" inspection marks, but was then shipped out to the San Antonio Arsenal on 12/16/1916! This will make a wonderful addition to even an advanced 1911 collection.

#43 of 50 Ithaca Gun Co. IG-Number 1911A1 .45 ACP Semi Auto Presentation Pistol

Lot #1117 (Sale Order 116 of 384)

#43 of 50 Ithaca Gun Co. IG-Number 1911A1 .45 ACP Semi Automatic Presentation 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.During the inter-war years, the design was further refined with an arched mainspring housing, relief-cuts behind the shortened trigger and some minor changes to other small parts, resulting in the 1911A1. This new model would be the US sidearm during WWII, and saw production by a few different companies. As in the previous World War, Colt and American Arsenals were not able to produce everything that would be required for this war, and production would be contracted to a typewriter company, Remington Rand, a company which made switches and signals for railroads, Union Switch & Signal, and one firearms manufacturer, Ithaca Gun Co.At the end of the war, contracts for 1911A1 pistols were canceled, but most manufacturers still had parts on hand. Some were purchased back by the Government, Colt used many of their parts for commercial production, and Ithaca put together fifty pistols as presentation guns gifted to company officials and other special figures. The pistols were numbered from 1-50 with an "I.G." prefix for Ithaca Gun. This pistol, number 43, was apparently purchased by an employee of United engineering who refers to it as a "gunsmith's model". This may explain the irregular polishing seen on the frame as well as the "P" proof mark on the slide, which would not be typical of a presentation gun. It is possible that this example was not deemed suitable for presentation and so was sold to a lesser-known individual who did have a hand in the wartime production process. In any case, it is a Rare piece and an interesting part of the story of Ithaca's participation in the war effort. Please see our photos and good luck!

Duplicate Range WWII 1943 Ithaca US Army M1911A1 .45 ACP Pistol

Our Assessment: During WWII, Ithaca was one of the companies contracted to produce M1911A1 pistols for the US military. This early example is from a serial range duplicated by Colt and Ithaca and, while this pistol's frame was finished and assembled by Ithaca, it is from early production using a Colt M1911 frame reclaimed after WWI. The slide also has an intriguing marking on the right,m "5008". We were not able to determine the significance of this marking, but it is an enigmatic feature of the gun.

Remington Arms Co. Model 1889 Lightweight 12 GA Shotgun

Lot #1119 (Sale Order 118 of 384)

Remington Arms Co. Model 1889 Lightweight 12 GA 30" Side by Side Shotgun

Our Assessment: e. Remington & Sons was established in 1816 and produced mostly firearms, though they had forays into other implements, the most successful of which was their typewriter. The typewriter design was sold in 1886 when they hit a rough patch financially, but it was not enough to save the company and in 1888 the company was bought by Hartley & Graham and the Remington Arms Company was formed. One of the first changes made was a redesign of the Model 1887 shotgun, making the new Model 1889 with bar locks, new circular type rebounding hammers, extension rib, double bolt, and Deeley & edge forend. It is a testament to the new model that it continued from serial range of the 1887 at about 30000k, continuing to over 100000 and then shifting to 200000 with a total of about 134,200 Model 1889s made. The guns were made in seven grades with different barrel materials, levels of engraving and frame sizes for 10 gauge, 10/12 gauge and 16 gauge guns.

Documented USS Fechteler WWII US Remington Rand M1911A1

Lot #1120 (Sale Order 119 of 384)

Documented USS Fechteler WWII US Remington Rand M1911A1

Our Assessment: This example was made by Remington Rand in 1943, fairly early in their production. It has an interesting mix of features including the early Du-Lite finish, first-style serial marking and second-style slide marking. The barrel's markings indicate that it was made by Springfield Armory as part of a program of stocking replacement barrels, but these stocks were also sent to the contract manufacturers as production increased for new-made pistols. The pistol also has a nice set of early Keyes Fibre grips. By itself it is a wonderful example of an early Remington Rand 1911-A1. It is also a particularly well documented example.While originally shipped to Springfield Armory in 1943, sometime prior to January 21, 1944, this pistol was issued to the USS Fechteler, a Buckley-class destroyer escort which had been launched in April, 1943. The ship's early service consisted of convoy duty from New York to the Netherlands West Indies and on to North Africa. It is possible that this pistol was "lost" during one of these convoys, but it seems more likely that it made its way back to America and left the ship while in port at New York City for an overhaul. The Fechteler would go on to participate in experimental anti-submarine exercises and further convoy duties before leaving for Bizerte. On return from Bizerte, escorting another convoy, the Fechteler was sunk by a German U-boat in the Western Mediterranean on May 5, 1944. This pistol is accompanied by documentation from the Springfield Research Services, Charles W. Pate, as well as declassified copies of the reports of the sinking of the USS Fechteler. This additional documentation will only enhance the collector value of this high condition Remington Rand 1911A1. Please see our photos and good luck!

In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 6 or 7 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 94% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at some edges. Most of the balance is in spots of minor surface oxidation, most in the front strap and left of the slide. There are a few minor nicks and scratches with an "idiot mark" under the slide stop on the left of the frame. The action shows light operational wear. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this pistol is in about Fine condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: A Springfield Research Service letter is included which confirms that this pistol was reported January 26, 1944 as being issued to the USS Fechteler. A letter from Charles W. Pate is included with the results of his research at the National Archives. Pate's letter states that this pistol was issued to the USS Fechteler sometime prior to January 21, 1944 when it was found that the pistol was missing. The following 25th of February, the Bureau of Ordnance reported the loss to the FBI who added the pistol's information to their National Stolen Property File. Copies of the relevant documents from the National Archives are included. Also included is general information about the USS Fechteler as well as declassified copies of reports from ships in the convoy when Fechteler was sunk as well as some information about and a photo of the H.M.S. Hengist, a British tug which rescued crew members of the Fechteler after the sinking. A modern USS Fechteler cap is included.

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. As was the case at the outset of the 1st World War, demands of the US Military would outstrip the production capacity of Colt when the United States entered World War II. In this case, contracting pistol production out to other companies had been planned for and simplified due to educational orders and a production study, notably conducted by the Singer sewing machine company, which developed comprehensive plans and instructions for a company which had never made a 1911A1 to order materials, machinery and set up manufacturing for the pistol.Remington Rand was the star example of this project's success, and by the end of the war would go on to produce just about as many as all of the other maker's combined, at the lowest price and highest quality. This example was made by Remington Rand in 1945 and is a nice example of a Remington Rand 1911-A1. The pistol is in Very Good condition as likely Arsenal Refurbished, retaining 90% of its new parkerized finish. It has a decent bore and strong mechanics.

1947 Colt Model Super 38 Automatic 5" 1911 Semi Automatic Pistol

Lot #1125 (Sale Order 124 of 384)

1947 Colt Model Super 38 Automatic 5" 1911 Semi Automatic Pistol

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 post-war Super .38 pistol was made in 1947 and is in Fine condition, showing wear consistent with responsible use over the last 73 years, retaining the majority of its original finish, a good bore and strong mechanics. It has some neat features found on the early post-war Super .38s including a "fat barrel", 7-rib mainspring housing, and even has military-style "Coltwood" grips.

High Standard Model 102 Supermatic Trophy Semi Automatic Target Pistol

Lot #1127 (Sale Order 126 of 384)

High Standard Model 102 Supermatic Trophy Semi Automatic Target Pistol

Our Assessment: High Standard had a long history of manufacturing target pistols going back to before WWII, so they had lots of time to perfect the design. Their line of pistols changed significantly throughout their history and they even moved their factory from Hamden to Hartford in 1977. The Trophy was the top of the line in the Supermatic series. This example comes with a 8" barrel with barrel weights and compensator installed. The Supermatic Trophy was designed as a high-end target pistol with a Patridge front side and a target rear sight adjustable for elevation and windage. It has a trigger that is adjustable for pull weight as well as over-travel. This Trophy shows light use and remains in Great shape. The Supermatic Trophy models are a desirable piece among collectors, but should also prove to still be one of the finest rimfire target pistols around.

1977 High Standard "The Victor" Model 9216 .22 LR Target Pistol, & Box

Lot #1128 (Sale Order 127 of 384)

1977 High Standard "The Victor" .22LR Semi Automatic Target Pistol, Model 9216 & Box

Our Assessment: High Standard had a long history of manufacturing target pistols going back to before WWII, so they had lots of time to perfect the design. The Victor was added to High Standard's military model line in 1971 and incorporated a feature frequently added to High Standard pistols by gunsmiths for target shooters, a sight rib. Originally, the model was offered with a ventilated steel rib, later weight was reduced by making the ribs from alloy and a solid rib option was added to the Victor model. Later, the solid ribs would be discontinued and only the alloy vent-ribs were offered, seen on this example. This example was made in 1977 and has a 4 1/2" slab-side barrel with one weight installed. The pistol is in excellent condition, appearing to have spent more time in its factory box than out. This should make someone an outstanding target pistol that should easily rival most of the newer target pistols being MANUFACTURED today. That said, in its high condition, it will also likely draw the eyes of collectors.

Our Assessment: The P210 pistol was originally MANUFACTURED in 1947 and became the standard military pistol of the Swiss Army in 1949, thus the Military designation P49.

Roy Rogers Dale Evans Colt Lightning .38 LC Double Action Revolver, 1902 C&R

Lot #1131 (Sale Order 129 of 384)

Roy Rogers Dale Evans Colt Lightning .38 LC Double Action Revolver, 1902 C&R

Our Assessment: The Colt M1877 was a double action revolver MANUFACTURED by Colt's Patent Fire Arms from January 1877 to 1909 for a total of 166,849 revolvers. The Model 1877 was offered in three calibers, which lent them three unofficial names: the "Lightning", the "Thunderer", and the "Rainmaker". The principal difference between the models was the cartridge in which they were chambered: the "Lightning" being chambered in .38 Long Colt; the "Thunderer" in .41 Long Colt. An earlier model in .32 Colt known as the "Rainmaker" was offered in 1877. The M1877 was designed by one of the inventors of the M1873 Colt Single Action Army, William Mason, as Colt's first attempt at manufacturing a double-action revolver and was also the first successful US-made double-action cartridge revolver. Neither "Lightning" nor "Thunderer" were Colt designations, nor used by the factory in any reference materials. Both terms were coined by Benjamin Kittredge, one of Colt's major distributors, who was also responsible for the term "Peacemaker" for the Single Action Army. Old West Outlaw John Wesley Hardin frequently used both "Lightning" and "Thunderer" versions of the Colt 1877 revolver.This Lightning is outstanding not only for its condition, both cosmetic and mechanical, and not only for coming from the personal collection of noted gun writer, NRA Field editor and winner of the John T. Amber Literary Award, Rick Hacker (apologies, Mr. Hacker). This an outstanding opportunity for collectors as this revolver came from the Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum and was personally owned by the Singing Cowboy and Cowgirl. This documented not only in a letter of authenticity from the museum, but also in a personal letter to Mr. Hacker from Roy "Dusty" Rogers Jr. A copy of the article Mr. Hacker writer for American Rifleman about Roy Rogers is also included, and the custom presentation case housing the revolver makes this ready for display in your collection.

"The Rifleman" Chuck Connor's Winchester 1892 Carbine With Documentation

Lot #1132 (Sale Order 130 of 384)

Our Assessment:Coming from the Rick Hacker Collection, this rifle has provenance from the Chuck Connors Productions and Estate as well as other photographs to show that Winchester 1892 Carbine, serial number 756277 was owned personally by Chuck Connors. Best known for “The Rifleman” series that first aired in 1958 and wrapped production in 1963, Connors is also one of the very few athletes to play in both the MLB and the NBA, for the Dodgers and Celtics, respectively. The rifle was custom built for Connors by Canadian gunsmith Moe Hunt, one of a pair made to replicate the rifles used on set for “The Rifleman”. The lever has a set screw that is adjustable for the TV character’s signature rapid fire on the TV show and was removable for when the scene needed Connor’s character to fire a single shot using the trigger conventionally. Noted gun writer, NRA Field Editor and winner of the John T. Amber Literary Award Rick Hacker obtained this rifle from the Chuck Connors estate and it has since featured in a number of Mr. Hacker’s articles. This is a rifle that will capture the hearts of every kid that ever wanted to be Lucas McCain. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Western history!

Lot #1133 (Sale Order 131 of 384)

Winchester Model 1892 .44 WCF 20" Lever Action Carbine

Our Assessment: The 1892 followed the 1886 and is basically its little brother, the same design for pistol calibers. When asked by Winchester to design an improved pistol caliber lever action, John Browning said he would have the prototype completed in under a month or it would be free. Within 2 weeks, Browning had a functioning prototype of the 92. Calibers for the rifle vary and some are custom-chambered. The original rounds were the .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester centerfire rounds, followed in 1895 by the new .25-20. This rifle is a saddle ring carbine chambered for .44 W.C.F. Made in 1918, the rifle is in outstanding condition. It retains 97% of its current metal finish with a great bore, strong mechanics and minor wear in the stocks.

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1894 rifle followed the other John Browning designed lever action rifles to become one of the most famous and popular hunting rifles of all time. It was the first commercial sporting rifle to sell over 7,000,000 units, making the name "Winchester" synonymous with all lever action rifles. It was also the first commercial American repeating rifle built to be used with smokeless powder. It was introduced in 1894 in two black powder cartridges, the .32-40 and .38-55 Win. rounds, but by the next year Winchester had developed a different steel composition that could handle higher pressures, and the .30-30 Win. family of cartridges was born. Not only was it a success, but as of 1983 it held the record for the best-selling center-fire rifle in U.S. history. 5,103,249 Winchester 1894's and 94's were produced from 1894 to 1983 alone and it didn't stop there. From 1984 to 1997, the Model 94 angle eject was introduced and in 2003 the iconic rifle was offered as a .410 shotgun. U.S. production ceased in 2006. At the time there were 14 versions of the Model 94 in the Winchester catalog.

It was introduced in 1894 in two black powder cartridges, the .32-40 and .38-55 Win. rounds, but by the next year Winchester had developed a different steel composition that could handle higher pressures, and the .30-30 Win. family of cartridges was born.This a Winchester Model 1894 rifle made in 1897 with a 26" octagonal barrel and chambered in the original .38-55 cartridge. The gun shows honest wear consistent with its age and use in the field. It will display well as-is with its "been there, done that" appearance, but would also be a good candidate for restoration for a collection or to take back out in the field.

Pre-64 Winchester 64 .30-30 Win 24" Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1140 (Sale Order 138 of 384)

Pre-64 Winchester 64 .30-30 Win 24" Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: Winchester's venerable Model 94 rifle, long a favorite of hunters and outdoorsmen, was beginning to lose sales in the early 1920's, although the shorter barreled carbine was still popular. More people were traveling by motorcar and railroad, and Winchester thought a takedown rifle based on the Model 94 would sell well. The Model 55 was introduced in 1924, but never sold particularly well, and was discontinued in 1932 when it was superseded by the Model 64. The Model 64 was a redesign of the Model 55 with a longer magazine tube and made with a solid frame only. The Model 64 stayed in production until 1957, with a total of only 66,783 manufactured, making it one of the Rarer lever action models made by Winchester. A 2nd batch of 8250 was produced in the early 1970's, but those made before 1964 have better quality and smoothness of operation than that found on more modern Model 94's. This a Winchester Model 64 Rifle in .30-30 Win. with a 24" barrel and 3/4 length magazine tube. The rifle is in Very Good overall condition, showing honest wear, a nice bore and strong mechanics. Our bore gauge measured a Me of 1.0, indicating limited use over the last 70 years. If the collectors don't take enough notice, this will make someone a very nice deer rifle.

The Model 1892 rifle was popular with ranchers and later was the rifle of choice for western movies and TV shows, John Wayne used both M1892 rifles and carbines in many of his western movies. The M1892 rifles again became popular in the 1980s with the advent of Cowboy Action shooting, as they were smooth and dependable.This a Model 1892 rifle with a 24" octagonal barrel, made in 1894 and chambered in .32-20 Win.

Lot #1144 (Sale Order 142 of 384)

Nice Pre-War Winchester 1894 .32 Win Special 20" Lever Action Carbine, MFD Ca. 1939

Our Assessment:This a Winchester Model 1894 made in 1982 with a 16" round barrel chambered in .32 Winchester Special. The .32 Winchester Special cartridge, like the .30-30 Winchester cartridge of 1895, is necked down from the .38-55 Winchester cartridge of 1884. The .32 Winchester Special differs from the .30-30 Winchester in bullet diameter. More significantly, Winchester decreased the rate of rifling twist in their Model 94 rifle, from 1:12 when chambered for the .30-30 to 1:16 when chambered for the .32 Winchester Special. Winchester used the slower twist to reduce fouling retention when creating a new cartridge for sportsmen who wanted to reload their own ammunition using black powder and cast bullets. It would be perfect for throwing in the back window of your pick-up truck for use on coyotes and other varmints and it would also be a great deer rifle today just as it was when it was made.

Pre-1928 Remington Model 12 Blue 22" .22 LR Pump Action Rifle

Lot #1158 (Sale Order 156 of 384)

Pre-1928 Remington Model 12 Blue 22" .22LR Pump Action Rifle

Our Assessment: Back in 1908 Remington wanted something to compete with Winchester's famed Model 94 but the faster, smoother operation of a pump gun had a lot of advantages. John Pedersen, the inventor of the Pedersen device used on rifles in WWI, had already designed several Remington shotguns. He was given the assignment to design a high-power pump to compete with Winchester's lever actions. He started with the Model 12 rimfire model in 1909 and designed its big brother, the Model 14 in 1912. The Model 12 and 14 rifles were butter smooth with a magazine tube that moved with the slide. This Model 12 rifle has a 22" round barrel and is chambered in .22 Long Rifle. This a nice little takedown rifle that probably served someone for squirrels and rabbits back in the day and will be fun for informal plinking! Please see our photos and good luck!

1929 Remington Model 12 .22 S L LR 24" Pump Action Rifle & Weaver 29S Scope

Lot #1159 (Sale Order 157 of 384)

1929 Remington Model 12 .22 S L LR 24" Pump Action Rifle & Weaver 29S Scope

Our Assessment: Back in 1908 Remington wanted something to compete with Winchester's famed Model 94 but the faster, smoother operation of a pump gun had a lot of advantages. John Pedersen, the inventor of the Pedersen device used on rifles in WWI, had already designed several Remington shotguns. He was given the assignment to design a high-power pump to compete with Winchester's lever actions. He started with the Model 12 rimfire model in 1909 and designed its big brother, the Model 14 in 1912. The Model 12 and 14 rifles were butter smooth with a magazine tube that moved with the slide. This Model 12 rifle has a 24" octagonal barrel and is chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It has been upgraded with very nice checkered walnut stocks. This a nice little takedown rifle that probably served someone for squirrels and rabbits back in the day and will be fun for informal plinking! Please see our photos and good luck!

Serial Matching Remington Model 14 .30 Rem 22" Pump Action Rifle

Lot #1162 (Sale Order 160 of 384)

Serial Matching Remington Model 14 .30 Rem 22" Pump Action Rifle, MFd 1931

Our Assessment: With Marlin and Winchester owning the Lever Action market, Remington was looking for a way to bolster sales in other categories. The Model 8 was a semi-automatic rifle, introduced in 1908, and while sales were decent, they were not what was hoped for. As a result of these two facts, Remington gave the high-powered rifle market another shot with a Pump Action. John Pedersen, the inventor of the Pedersen device used on rifles in WWI, had already designed several Remington shotguns. He was given the assignment to design a high-power pump to compete with Marlin & Winchester's lever actions. In 1913, Remington introduced the Model 14 pump - or slide-action rifle in four chamberings, .25, .30, .32 and .35 Remington. Two design features that were particularly novel were the spiral magazine tube that prevented the point of one bullet from resting on the primer of the next cartridge, and how the magazine itself moved with the fore-end. This one is a 1931 example based on its serial number and is in Very Good Condition. It has been upgraded with nice looking checkered walnut stocks with a capped pistol grip and cheekpiece. This will be a nice addition to your arsenal. Please see our photos and good luck!

Handsome Restored Savage Model 1903 .22 S L LR 24" Pump Action Rifle

Lot #1165 (Sale Order 163 of 384)

Handsome Restored Savage Model 1903 .22 S L LR 24" Pump Action Rifle

Our Assessment: The Savage Model 1903 is unusual in that it is a pump-action rifle that does not have a tubular magazine. Instead, it uses a detachable box style magazine that would appear at home with a bolt action rifle. By removing the large screw head on the receiver this rifle can be taken down for compact storage or transport, and this also allows easy access to the chamber and bore for cleaning purposes. This an interesting rifle that showcases what Savage did to differentiate their design from other .22 pump-action rifles on the market. The box magazine, tang safety, and hammerless design made it different from the Winchester offerings and still makes it an interesting rifle for C&R collectors. This one looks great and has been restored with a new case colored and blued finish and has been relined so it will be fun to shoot. Please see our photographs and good luck!

Nice Pre-64 1946 Winchester Model 70 .300 Savage 24" Cloverleaf Tang Rifle

Lot #1206 (Sale Order 204 of 384)

Nice Pre-64 1946 Winchester Model 70 .300 Savage 24" Cloverleaf Tang Bolt Action Rifle

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 70 is an iconic American sporting rifle that has been a staple of hunters for more than 80 years; reliable, robust, and accurate, it is one of the benchmarks by which all bolt action rifles are measured. It has more than earned its nickname of "The Riflemans Rifle", a true icon. This a vintage pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 rifle chambered in .300 Savage and made in 1946. The .300 Savage was ahead of its time, being quite similar to the .308 Winchester cartridge. It needed to be shorter than the .30-06 in order to fit the receiver of the Savage Model 99 lever action rifle, but would also be chambered in the Winchester Model 70. This rifle shows wear consistent with light use and looks great for its age. The bore has been re-lined, having strong rifling and infrequent minor erosion. As a fairly scarce chambering, this will likely see interest from Winchester collectors. It will also still make for a great deer rifle for at least another lifetime.

US 1968 Palma Trophy Match Winchester Model 70 .308 Win. Rifle

Lot #1214 (Sale Order 212 of 384)

Our Assessment: The Palma Trophy Match is one of, if not the most prestigious long-range rifle competitions in the world. Its history goes back to 1873, when the first International Long Range Rifle match was hosted by the Creedmoor Range in Queens, New York. Teams from Ireland the United States participated in this first match with a second match held in 1874 at the Dollymount Range in Ireland, with the United States winning both matches. The National Rifle Association of America organized the first Palma Trophy Match in 1876 to celebrate the American Centennial, commissioning a massive seven and a half foot trophy from Tiffany’s for $1,500 (nearly $40,000 in 2022!). The name was taken from the trophy, a replica of a Roman standard which had "PALMA" replacing "SPQR" across the top of the standard, Latin for "victory/valour".The matches consist of strings of fire at distances of 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. The first matches were fired with muzzle-loading rifles and there were simple overall weight and trigger weight restrictions. Matches were held intermittently with the rules for the 1901 match updated to require each nation’s team to use a domestic military rifle and in 1968 the rules were updated again to require that the team’s rifles be identical guns provided by the host nation. In 1968, 1971 and 1976, the United States hosted the Palma Trophy Match and selected the Winchester Model 70 for the rifle to be used by all competitors.These rifles were not standard Winchester Target models, but rather rifles specially built by Winchester’s Custom Shop. The Palma Trophy Match Model 70 was never cataloged and never offered for sale to the public, only provided to the teams at the U.S. hosted Palma matches. The barrels used for the 1968 rifles were longer, heavier profiled and had counter-bored muzzles. Their actions and the chamber area of the barrels were glass-bedded to the stocks with the remainder of the barrels free-floating. Intriguingly, their receiver’s are slotted for clip-loading and the bolts were factory-jeweled. All of the observed 1968 Palma Trophy Match Model 70 rifles have been in the 86878 to 868733 serial range with a minimum of 40 rifles necessary to provide each of the shooters with a separate rifle, which strongly indicates that the rifles were all consecutively serial numbered.This example of the 1968 Palma Trophy Match rifle is outstanding. It should be noted that the United States hosted at Camp Perry in 1968 and also won (as the American team would in each of the three years that the Winchester 70 was selected as the match rifle), though we have not been able to find documentation of whether this individual rifle was used by the American or the visiting Canadian team. The rifle has all of the correct features, markings and falls into the proper serial range of the 1968 Match rifles. This will make a truly exceptional addition to a Winchester collection or a collection of long range competition rifles and, with approximately 60 rifles made for the 1968 Match, an opportunity such as this doesn’t come by every day.

It is a long-recoil operated rifle and feeds from a fixed magazine. The model 8 was chambered in four different Remington rimless cartridges, they were the .25, .30, .32, and .35 Remington. They were primarily used by hunters, though some law enforcement agencies adopted them and it was possible to modify them for removable magazines. It was even the preferred rifle of Texas Ranger Frank Hamer who used a customized .35 caliber model with 15-round magazines, and his was one of the two Model 8's known to be at the ambush of Bonnie & Clyde. This example was made in 1931 based on its date code and is chambered in .32 Remington, it is in about Very Good condition. It has some scattered wear that is typical of a sporting rifle of its age. The bore has some wear but the rifling is strong and this can still put lead downrange and holes in game. This the original American semi-auto rifle and something every collector needs!

Thisn't just any Model 8 though, this one of the very Rare U.S. Trials models. In 1921, the Army Infantry School at Fort Benning received 25 Model 8 rifles chambered for .25 Remington. Warfare was evolving at the time, and the U.S. needed rifles to test the viability of a semi-automatic platform. While not suitable for actual combat and not intended for it, the Model 8 rifles were upgraded for developing tactics and military doctrine of a semi-auto rifle. The rifles were then upgraded by Springfield Armory with upgraded sights and a lengthened military style grooved forend with sling swivels. The barrel mounted rear sight was removed and the rear sight is now a Lyman 48 aperture peep sight. The book "The Great Model 8" by John Henwood lists the serial range for these rifles as 42200 to 45737 for known examples. This one is in the range and looks great, a very Rare rifle to enhance any collection!

1951 Winchester Model 63 .22 LR 23" Semi Automatic Rifle

Lot #1224 (Sale Order 222 of 384)

1951 Winchester Model 63 .22LR 23" Semi Automatic Rifle

Our Assessment: When Winchester came out with their Model 1903 semi-automatic rifle, they chambered it in .22 Winchester Automatic. This was a smokeless powder round with a case slightly larger than a .22 Long cartridge to prevent the use of .22 rimfire ammunition loaded with black powder, which was still prevalent at the time. As time went by, the new .22 Long Rifle cartridges made with smokeless powder became more available and thus cheaper than the .22 Win. Auto rounds. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge was also slightly hotter than the .22 Win. Auto, which was on a par with the .22 Long cartridge. In 1933, Winchester redesigned the Model 1903 to accept the .22 Long Rifle cartridges and the Model 63 was born.This a post-war Model 63 made in 1951. The rifle has a grooved buttstock for loading rounds in the magazine tube, and an operating rod that protrudes through the front of the forend's nosecap. The rifle has wear in the metal and wood consistent with infrequent use. The bore is generally strong with a few patches of erosion. The mechanics are sound. Whether you're looking to add to your Winchester collection or just have an affinity for classic .22 autoloaders, this a neat rifle to add to any collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Congress gave members of the Women's Army Corps (WAC), a branch of the U.S. Army, full service status during World War II. However, the legislation that did so was set to expire in 1948. As early as 1946, Army leaders requested that enlisted women be made a permanent part of the Army. Following two years of legislative debate, Congress passed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act in 1948. The act granted women the right to serve as permanent, regular members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and the recently formed Air Force. Posters during World War II were designed to give citizens a positive outlook, a sense of patriotism, and confidence. From a practical point, they were used to encourage all Americans to help with the war effort. These types of war posters called on every man, woman, and child to endure the personal sacrifice and domestic adjustments to further the national agenda. This paper poster has a canvas backing, measuring 29.25" x 20.5". This original vintage poster is in excellent condition, showing only a couple light handling marks.

This double sided poster from 1944 has one side showing the end of a Garand rifle and bayonet with the message "Silence Means Security…Let This do Your Talking" and the other side shows the different war fronts during WWII. Concerns about national security always intensify during wartime. When the U.S. entered World War II, the Government alerted citizens to the presence of enemy spies and saboteurs. "Careless talk" posters warned people that even just a small snippet of information regarding troop movements or other logistical details would be very useful to the enemy. Well-meaning citizens could easily compromise national security and soldiers' safety with careless talk. The poster reads "Silence means security. When a man stands ready To fight–to his last drop of Blood–to his last breath of Life–he doesn't do much Talking. He lets his weapon Do that for him. And, later, he doesn't talk about where he has been– or when–or what he did–or saw. He knows that the safety of millions depends on his silence! Let this do your talking!"

This original poster is in Very Good overall condition showing light to moderate wear.

Lot #1240 (Sale Order 238 of 384)

WWII Johnson Automatics Model 1941 .30-06 Rare Dutch Semi Automatic Rifle & Bayonet

Our Assessment: This Rare Johnson Automatics Model 1941 is in nice shape for a Military Rifle that is over 75 years old. The rifle has clear markings on the metal which include a Dutch acceptance mark. A limited number of these rifles were used by American troops during WWII and are prized by collectors. This Model 1941 is in Very Good Plus to Fine condition and comes with a Model 1941 bayonet. The following information can be found (with much more detail) on pages 73 to 87 and pages 216 to 223 of Bruce Canfield's book, Johnson Rifles and Machine Guns: In July of 1940 the Netherlands (Dutch) placed an initial contract for 10,200 Johnson Model 1941 Rifles. At the time Johnson Automatics did not have the production capabilities to fulfill the contract. Johnson had to develop partnerships to fulfill production of the rifles. Johnson partnered with the Universal Winding Company of Cranston, Rhode Island to form the Cranston Arms Co.; hence the Cranston Arms Co. "triangle" stamping on all Model 1941 Rifles. The "triangle" was a Dutch National symbol.Johnson Automatics went bankrupt in 1949. Many of the leftover Johnson Automatics spare parts and barrels were purchased by an importer who was also able to acquire surplus military M1941 Rifles that had been sold to the Dutch. The Johnson Automatics spare parts & barrels were used to put the surplus Dutch Johnson M1941 Rifles into working order. These rifles were then offered to the public by mail order from the late 1950s into the late 1960s. Many were offered in "as is" Military configuration while others were "Sporterized". The Sporterized rifles featured new barrels made by the Apex Rifle Company of Sun Valley, CA.

WWII Remington 1903 .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1942

Lot #1242 (Sale Order 240 of 384)

WWII Remington 1903 .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1942

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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 Remington Model 1903 was made in 1942, it has been rebuilt and refinished. This 1903 is in Pretty Good shape and still looks impressive for a 80+ year old military bolt action rifle. This 1903 has nice Remington markings on both the receiver and the 1942 dated barrel. It also has a small "R" stamping on the bolt handle. This 1903 has strong mechanics, a nice parkerized finish and a well preserved wood stock. This Remington 1903 will make a fine addition to your military or historical collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

Type of Finish: Parkerized

Finish Originality: Refinished

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright and has deep rifling. The muzzle and grooves are light gray. The bore shows erosion at the muzzle and in the grooves. The bore has an M.E. of 1. In this writer's opinion and for the age, the bore rates a 8.5 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. 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 94% of its metal finish. There are some scuffs and scratch marks, the bottom metal shows thinning light discoloration from oxidation.

WWII Remington 1903A3 03-A3 .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1943

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. The Model 1903 is basically a redesigned Mauser clone.

WWII Remington 1903A4 03-A4 Sniper M84 Scope .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1943

Our Assessment: When the United States Military entered World War II in 1941, there was not a single sniper rifle in military inventory. All the sniper rifles developed for use during World War I had long since been disposed of. On the eastern Front, German and Soviet troops had deployed thousands of sniper rifles to great effect. The British and Canadians had resurrected World War I-vintage sniper rifles and were using them to good effect in Africa. U.S. forces were in need of a new sniper rifle and the U.S. Army’s Ordnance Department decided that a sniper rifle could be made quickly based on the Model 1903A3 rifle that was just beginning to come off the production lines at Remington. By the end of 1943, the new Model 1903A4 sniper rifle began to reach front line troops. The new sniper rifle was essentially a modified Model 1903A3 infantry rifle. 1903-A4 receivers are marked "MODEL 03-A3" so that any rifle rejected as a 1903A4 Sniper could be used as a service rifle. WWII Remington Sniper rifles are highly valued by collectors due to their relatively low production numbers and their contribution to the war effort.This Remington Model 1903-A4 Sniper Rifle has deep Remington markings on the receiver and barrel as well as small Remington "R" stampings on the bolt handle and other small parts. Its receiver markings are offset to read them with a scope base installed. This rifle is in 1903-A4 sniper configuration and has the correct serial number to fall within the 1903-A4 serial number ranges. It is topped with an M84 scope. The M84 was mounted on a small number of 1903A4 Sniper Rifles that were Arsenal Rebuilt during the 1950s and 1960s, a number of which saw duty in Vietnam. This a good looking 1903A4 Sniper to add to your collection.

Eddystone 1917 American Enfield .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1917-1919

Our Assessment: The UK urgently needed rifles during WWI and could not produce enough. Contracts for the new Pattern 1914 (P14) Rifle were placed with arms companies in the United States. The rifle was chambered in .303 for convenience of supply. Winchester, Remington and Eddystone Arsenal (a subsidiary of Remington) produced the P14 chambered in .303 British. When the U.S. entered WWI, it had a similar need for rifles. Rather than re-tool the Pattern 14 factories to produce the Model 1903 Springfield, the P14 was modified to accept the U.S. .30-06 cartridge. Remington Arms Co. altered the P14 design for the .30-06. The new rifle was formally adopted as the U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, Model of 1917.This example is an Eddystone Model 1917, made between 1917 and 1919, it has been rebuilt and refinished. The WWII era High Standard barrel appears to have been installed during the rebuild. It has nice markings on the nose of the stock, bolt handle, receiver and other metal parts. This bolt action rifle is chambered for .30-06 Springfield and remains in Very Nice condition. This 1917 has a well preserved wood stock, a great bore, and strong mechanics that should keep you smiling at the range.

Lot #1250 (Sale Order 248 of 384)

Rock Island Arsenal 1903 RIA .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle MFD 1913

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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.

Rock Island Arsenal 1903 RIA .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle MFD 1919

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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 Rock Island Model 1903 was made in 1919. We don't know its service life but it was probably put to good use during WWII. The rifle has been rebuilt and refinished. The rifle has a 1942 dated Springfield barrel installed.

Springfield 1903 Style T Target Rifle Blue 30" Heavy Barrel .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1931

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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. This Model 1903 Style T Target Rifle was built back in 1931. The Style T was sold to NRA members through the Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM) which later became the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). This Target Rifle has a 30 inch heavy profile barrel, target sights, and headless cocking piece installed.

Springfield 1903 Mark I .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle 1919

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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.The 1903 Mark I was made to accept the Pedersen Device. The Pedersen Device replaced the bolt assembly and accepted a 40 round .30 caliber (pistol caliber) magazine. The cutout on the left side of the receiver is an ejection port. The Pedersen Device was meant to multiply the firepower of the individual rifleman. The rifleman carried 5 magazines for a total of 200 pistol caliber rounds. This was ideal for clearing trenches. Luckily WWI ended before the Pedersen Devices could be used in the trenches. For an informative video on the Pedersen Device and its accessories see youtube.com/watch?v=wLzdGPzHL8U. This Mark I retains its original 2-piece sear which can fire both the Pedersen Device and the original bolt.This collectible Springfield Armory Model 1903 Mark I Rifle was made in 1919, it comes from gun author Rick Hacker's personal collection. This rifle looks pretty impressive for being over 100 years old and is historically significant. The rifle has clear Springfield markings on the receiver and the 1919 dated barrel. This Springfield 1903 Mark I will make a fine addition to your collection. Please see our photos and good luck!

WWII Springfield M1 Garand USMC Match .30-06 US Semi Automatic Rifle

Our Assessment: The U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 is known affectionately as "the Garand" after its inventor, John Garand. The rifle would become the first standard-issue semi-automatic infantry rifle in the world. While some countries entered the war with limited issued semi-automatic rifles or developed such rifles during the war, America was the only nation to enter with its Army issuing autoloading rifles on a large scale. General Patton famously referred to the rifle as "the greatest battle implement ever devised". Millions were produced during WWII and hundreds of thousands afterward, seeing use through the Korean War and into the Vietnam War. Interestingly, while many other weapons and military items would see production contracts sent out to otherwise non-related companies, during WWII production remained with Springfield Armory and Winchester. It was only after WWII that production would be contracted out to another gunmaker, Harrington & Richardson, as well as the agricultural equipment maker, International Harvester.This Springfield M1 Garand was originally made back in 1944. It has been rebuilt and refinished by Old Corps Weaponry and is now a USMC Match M1 Garand. A new barrel has been installed, National Match sights have been installed, and the stock has been built up slightly with epoxy to better fit the action & trigger group. This M1 Garand looks impressive. It is in Very Good Plus to Fine condition with a strong & bright bore.

WWII Springfield M1D Garand Sniper .30-06 US Semi Automatic Rifle With M84 Scope

Our Assessment: This Springfield Armory M1 Garand was originally produced back in 1944. It was later arsenal converted to an M1D Sniper rifle. The Springfield Armory M1D barrel is marked properly with the correct date and stampings on the top & side of the barrel. The rifle’s action uses all Springfield parts. This M1D comes with an M84 scope assembly, T37 flash hider, and a leather cheek piece. The rifle is in Very Good Plus condition.Here is some M1D information from Scott Duff (who literally wrote the book on the M1 Garand) over at www.scott-duff.com : "As all M1D rifles were rebuilt rifles, the receiver may be of any manufacture and of any serial number produced prior to the date of the rebuild. The same applies to the individual components, any part made prior to the date of the rebuild is correct. All M1D barrels were made by Springfield Armory. The earliest observed M1D barrel is dated 5-51. M1D barrels have been counterfeited and merit careful examination. Nearly all M1D barrels were stamped with drawing number D7312555. M1D barrels MANUFACTURED through the fall of 1952 had the drawing number stamped on the top, underneath the rear hand guard. M1D barrels MANUFACTURED after the fall of 1952 had the drawing number stamped on the right side, adjacent to the date. The total number of service grade rifles converted by the military to M1D configuration is unknown. However, it is certain that well over 10,000 were converted. No less than 5,000 M1Ds were sold or given to foreign nations. In 1993 and 1994 over 6,000 M1D rifles were deemed obsolete and destroyed under orders from the Secretary of the Army. Beginning in 1995, M1D rifles were sold by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM), the forerunner to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to qualified individuals".

Martially Marked US WWI Winchester Solid Frame Model 1897 Trench Gun

Lot #1275 (Sale Order 273 of 384)

Rare Martially Marked US WWI Winchester Solid Frame Model 1897 Trench Gun

Our Assessment: After observing the Great War for the first three years, it became clear to the U.S. that serious close-range firepower was needed in trench warfare. The pre-existing Winchester Model 1897 was modified by adding a perforated steel heat shield over the barrel which protected the hand of the user from the barrel when it became over-heated, and an adapter with bayonet lug for affixing an M1917 bayonet. They were so effective and brutal in combat that the German high command once announced they would execute any US soldier captured with one in his possession. The 1897 Trench Gun was also durable enough that it would go on to see service in the second World War all the way through to the Gulf War.This example was produced Ca. 1919 and has correct features for a Trench Gun. It is martially marked, like other observed WWI 1897 Trench Guns, and there has been no end of speculation among collectors as to the reason for some being martially marked and others, not. This writer prefers the theory presented by Bruce Canfield in his book "Complete Guide to United States Military Combat Shotguns", that guns which were issued were inspected and marked, while guns which were not issued did not receive the markings. The end of WWI came as a shock to nearly everyone. At the time, most of the Allied powers believed that the war would continue for at least a few more years. The German offensive Operation Michael had just been halted and the Second Battle of the Marne, the first successful Allied offensive, was just starting. No one would guess that the war would end less than 6 months later. Consequently, there were likely many Trench Guns which had been produced and/or delivered which were never issued and simply remained in the government's inventory. Though this one was apparently issued, it remains a high condition example of this military shotgun which is more than 100 years old. The gun still has the great majority of its original finish, a nice bore, and strong mechanics. The stock has been replaced, but this was not uncommon with the original thin-wrist stocks easily cracking. This would later be addressed by increasing the thickness of the wrist (like this replacement).

Arsenal Rebuild WWII Winchester M1 Garand .30-06 US Semi Automatic Rifle

Lot #1277 (Sale Order 275 of 384)

Arsenal Rebuild WWII Winchester M1 Garand .30-06 US Semi Automatic Rifle

Our Assessment: The U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 is known affectionately as "the Garand" after its inventor, John Garand. The rifle would become the first standard-issue semi-automatic infantry rifle in the world. While some countries entered the war with limited issued semi-automatic rifles or developed such rifles during the war, America was the only nation to enter with its Army issuing autoloading rifles on a large scale. General Patton famously referred to the rifle as "the greatest battle implement ever devised". Millions were produced during WWII and hundreds of thousands afterward, seeing use through the Korean War and into the Vietnam War. Interestingly, while many other weapons and military items would see production contracts sent out to otherwise non-related companies, during WWII production remained with Springfield Armory and Winchester. It was only after WWII that production would be contracted out to another gunmaker, Harrington & Richardson, as well as the agricultural equipment maker, International Harvester.This Winchester M1 Garand was originally made back in 1944. It has since been rebuilt and refinished. It uses a mix of Winchester and USGI parts including a 1965 dated Springfield barrel. The rifle is in Very Good condition.

Ithaca Gun Co. Model 37 Featherlight M&P 12 GA Factory Riot Shotgun

Lot #1284 (Sale Order 282 of 384)

Ithaca Gun Co. Model 37 Featherlight Military & Police (M&P) 12 GA 20" Factory FULL Riot Shotgun

Our Assessment: The Ithaca 37 was designed by the company to compete with the Winchester Model 12. The gun was based on one of John Browning's patents which was used to create the Remington Model 17, the patent did not expire until 1932 which delayed the shotgun's introduction. Remington discontinued the Model 17 in 1933 which finally allowed Ithaca to move forward with their project. Since the Model 17 had improvements made to it which were also held by a patent owned by Remington, they were designed by John Pederson, until 1936 the project was further delayed. Finally, the Remington patents expired and Ithaca applied patented improvements made by Harry Howland. The new shotgun was finally released in 1937, hence the designation Model 37. The Model 37 proved an extremely successful shotgun, and was eventually even adopted for use by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies. The gun was called the Featherlight when it was introduced, although its weight was not significantly lighter than most other shotguns. The Model 37 was produced in a number of configurations, and this one of the more popular for home defense or law enforcement. Its 20" barrel is fast-handling and easily maneuvered. Combine the 37's notably smooth action and ability to slam-fire with an 8-round capacity (7+1) and you have a potent combination that can put plenty of lead on target. In addition to being a gun suitable for defense, it is a nice example of the Featherlight M&P model, great to add to an Ithaca collection. Please see our pictures and good luck!

Lot #1286 (Sale Order 284 of 384)

1919 Winchester Model 1912 12 GA 30" Takedown Pump Action Shotgun

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1912 was an improved version of John Moses Browning's groundbreaking design, the Model 1897 pump action shotgun. While similar in most aspects to Browning's design, several improvements were made by Winchester engineer Thomas Crossley Johnson. Johnson's most notable improvement was to alter the action. While Browning had designed his m/1897 with an external hammer, Jonson modified the design with an internal hammer. The Model 1912 retained the distinct slam-fire action used on Browning's original design. This a Winchester Model 1912 Pump Action Shotgun, it was made in 1919, it is chambered for 12 gauge shells. It was around 1919 when the model 1912 was shortened to model 12. Produced in just about every type of shotgun from semi-automatics to pump actions and everything in between, the 12 gauge is the shotgun of choice for big game, turkey, waterfowl, upland, and small game hunters. It's also the #1 choice for home defense as well as for military and law enforcement use. This Model 1912 is in Pretty good shape, showing honest wear. With a great bore and strong mechanics, this old Winchester could be back out shooting clay pigeons or dropping birds for another lifetime. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

1929 Winchester Model 12 Pump Action 16 Ga 30" Takedown Shotgun

Lot #1287 (Sale Order 285 of 384)

1929 Winchester Model 12 Pump Action 16 Gauge 30" Takedown Shotgun

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1912 was an improved version of John Moses Browning's groundbreaking design, the Model 1897 pump action shotgun. While similar in most aspects to Browning's design, several improvements were made by Winchester engineer Thomas Crossley Johnson. Johnson's most notable improvement was to alter the action. While Browning had designed his m/1897 with an external hammer, Jonson modified the design with an internal hammer. The Model 1912 retained the distinct slam-fire action used on Browning's original design. This a Winchester Model 1912 Pump Action Shotgun, it was made in 1929, it is chambered for 2 3/4" 16 gauge shells. The model name was shortened to just "Model 12" in 1919. While it's certainly a capable all-around shotgun gauge suitable for deer, turkey, and duck hunting, the 16 gauge is most often used in the United States for hunting small and upland game like pheasant, quail, dove, grouse, rabbit, and squirrel. This Model 12 has been refinished and looks great for a 90 year old shotgun. With a great bore and strong mechanics, this old Winchester could be back out shooting clay pigeons or dropping birds for another lifetime. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

Lot #1293 (Sale Order 291 of 384)

EARLY Winchester Model 1897 Solid Frame Riot Shotgun Lettered "To-Russ" MFD 1901

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1897 was designed by the legendary gunmaker John Moses Browning for Winchester. Browning improved upon his earlier Model 1893 design, with a stronger receiver that could sustain the pressure of smokeless powder shells. The 1897 came in dozens of configurations (calibers, grades and barrel lengths), making them a fun collector's interest. 1897 Riot Guns are of particular interest, as they are certainly Rarer than "bird guns" and almost certainly have a more colorful past. early 1897 Riot Guns will letter as originally being produced with a long barrel, going "To: Russ" and converted to Riot before ever leaving the factory. This explains the duplicate choke markings and is confirmed by this letter. This an honest, early example of a gun with a story we wish we could hear it tell.

General Curtis e. LeMay's Winchester Model 40 12 GA Competition Shotgun, Beautifully engraved

Lot #1296 (Sale Order 294 of 384)

General Curtis e. LeMay's Winchester Model 40 12 GA 24" Competition Shotgun, Beautifully engraved

Our Assessment: In the 1930s the semi-automatic shotgun was a proven design with other brands having solid financial success selling them. Winchester was inspired and got to work on their Model 40, their second semi-automatic shotgun. The Browning patents had expired and Winchester was free to use a charging handle on their shotguns. With high hopes, Winchester released the gun in 1940. Many of the design elements of the Model 1911SL were incorporated into this design, and because of this, the Model 40 suffers many of the same shortcomings. By 1941, Winchester stopped production of the design due to the numerous design flaws and sent out a recall. Some customers took advantage of this, but instead of receiving a new Model 40, they were reportedly given Model 12s along with letters asking that the Model 40 be completely forgotten. The brief production run resulted in approximately 12,000 units, many of which were turned in to Winchester and subsequently destroyed. This one has lived quite a life. It was purchased by General Curtis e. LeMay in 1940. When he was selected to command the U.S. Air Forces in Europe, he brought the gun with him to Wiesbaden Germany. While in Wiesbaden, General LeMay and other officers formed the Wiesbaden Gun Club and Gun Shop. At the Club, a defector from the Soviet zone by the name of H. MÃ¼ller was employed as an engraver. Mr. MÃ¼ller took the rather pedestrian Model 40 to new heights and engraved full coverage game scenes on the receiver. The left side of the receiver is adorned with game birds and hunting dogs in a wooded area with rolling hills in the background. The bottom-left corner of the left side of the receiver is engraved with a broken fence post that bears the artist's signature "H.MÃ¼ller". The right side of the receiver is similarly marked with hunting scenes depicting two hunters and waterfowl. The bottom of the receiver is engraved with a crest bearing the distinguished Generals initials "CeL". The stocks were upgraded to checkered French walnut by the club and a rib was also added. General LeMay seems to have had better luck with this design than most, it was his skeet gun and he shot numerous matches with it. It was with him at the 1955 Nebraska State Skeet Championship. At this Championship, the rib blew off and was subsequently replaced with the Simmons Specialties rib that it currently wears. General Curtis e. LeMay's service includes duties as commander in Chief, Strategic Air Command, from October 1948 to July 1957 and Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, from July 1961 to January 1965. He was a pioneer in formations and bombing techniques that were used throughout the European theater and were later used by the B-29 Super Fortress in the Pacific. His service earned him numerous awards and decorations, not just from his own government, but countries all around the world.

The Four Kachina's, Art Daggers by: Willie Rigney, Jim Ence, Billy Mace Imel & Gary Blanchard

Lot #1297 (Sale Order 295 of 384)

The Four Kachina's, Art Daggers by: Willie Rigney, Jim Ence, Billy Mace Imel & Gary Blanchard

Three Kachina knives were originally Commissioned by J.W. Bailey at the Anaheim Knife show in 1985, Gary Blanchard would collaborate with three knife makers to produce these fantastic daggers. eric Meyers, a world famous knife collector, then bought the three knives & contracted Gary Blanchard to complete the series with a fourth knife. These four handmade art knives then lived in Switzerland, moved to New York, moved again to a ranch in Michigan & then finally came back to California where it all started. The Four Kachina's were inspired by the ancestral spirits in Pueblo mythology. The original concept & design was by Gary Blanchard, he asked Willie Rigney, Jim Ence & Billy Mace Imel to work on the project. The plan was to create four custom art daggers with a three dimensional Kachina or Social Dancer carved within the center portion of the blade. Gary was told by the steel company that the process of carving into the steel was impossible, yet here they are. Gary did all the carvings with specific requirements for the shape & detail. This series only had four knives painstakingly hand crafted, each dagger is a one of a kind. Over 2000 combined man-hours to complete the four knives, from 1986 to 1992. Here is a brief description of each custom art dagger. #1: The White Buffalo Dance, the first knife in the series by Willie Rigney & Gary Blanchard. Using 440c, guard & pommel in blued steel & handle of fluted walrus fossil with 24K gold, gold bow string & the small sea shells are individually carved from a cameo shell. #2: The eagle Kachina, by Jime ence & Gary Blanchard. Blade of damascus & blued steel fixtures, the balls of the guard & pommel are ivory as is the handle with 24K gold wire & lizard skin. The embellishment took 480 hours & was completed in 1988. The graceful flowing wings were accomplished by carving each feather out of ivory & inlaying them on at a time. Headdress is made from turquoise. The beak & bells are solid gold & the necklace is carved from ivory & turquoise, then strung on wire. #3: The Sun Kachina, by Billy Mace Imel & Gary Blanchard. With blued steel blade & fixtures, handle is black buffalo horn as are the balls of the guard & the pommel. embellishment of the knife & fixtures took 537 man hours to complete in 1990. This was the first project where Gary used his ceramic resin process, used in the headdress instead of red coral to get the needed detail. Other inlays are turquoise, black buffalo horn, red coral & 24K gold. The beaded bands include over 1500 beads, all were individually hand sanded & fitted into place. #4: The Broad Faced Kachina, the final Kachina by Gary Blanchard. The surfaces have been grounded to look as though it had been flint knapped. The handle & other portions of the guard & pommel are made of elk horn. Within the blade, the three dimensional figure is overlaid with colored sand, inlays consist of sand, elk horn, sterling silver & 24K gold. The making of this knife took 560 hours to complete in 1992. each knife is beautifully preserved & in outstanding condition, showing only a few insignificant handling marks. A fifth blade is included, this blank example blade was made by Billy Mace Imel & shows you what a Kachina blade would look like before the carving & embellishment. This lot comes with several items of Provenance, including printed copies of letters by Gary Blanchard & Billy Mace Imel. There is also an outline of the history of the Four Kachina's. The "White Buffalo Dance'' was featured in Blade Magazine December 1987. The "eagle Kachina" was featured in Knives Illustrated Spring 1988. The "Sun Kachina" featured in a 2014 Japanese Knife Magazine. There is also an included Blade Magazine showing an advertisement of the Four Kachinas.

A.H. Fox Model A Grade Pre-Savage 12 GA Double Barrel Shotgun

Lot #1301 (Sale Order 299 of 384)

A.H. Fox Model A Grade Pre-Savage 12 GA 28" IM/M Double Barrel Shotgun, MFD Ca. 1910

Our Assessment: Ansley Fox was one of the earliest American innovators with internal hammer double guns. In 1894, at the age of 19, he was issued a patent on a system of cocking the internal hammers of a break-action gun using leverage from the barrels with his design actually containing nineteen patentable features, according to the U.S. Patent office. Fox would continue on, making it his life's work to produce "The finest gun in the world" (as well as the finest car in the world and a few other manufacturing ventures). He even gained the praise of Theodore Roosevelt who wrote to Mr. Fox in a letter "The double-barreled shotgun has come, and I really think it is the most beautiful gun I have ever seen. I am exceedingly proud of it. I am almost ashamed to take it to Africa and expose it to the rough usage it will receive. But now that I have it, I could not possibly make up my mind to leave it behind. I am extremely proud that I am to have such a beautiful bit of American workmanship with me". The A.H. Fox Gun Co. would continue producing shotguns of various grades and chambered for various gauges through the late 1920s, when they fell victim to the Great Depression and were acquired by Savage Arms. This example is a 12 gauge A Grade, produced in 1910, quite early for an A.H. Fox. Today, A.H. Fox shotguns are quite collectible. As Fox's reputation was built on quality, their success didn't necessarily mean that a huge number of guns were made. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!

The Model 1892 followed the Model 1891, which had a side loading-gate similar to that used on Winchester lever actions. It proved difficult to load the tiny cartridges through the loading gate however, so in 1892 the rifle was fitted with a magazine tube that could be easily loaded by just pulling the cover forward. The Model 1892 is one of the predecessors to the Model 39, one of Marlin's most popular rifles that is still being made today. This rifle is in about Good-Very Good condition and remains mechanically sound with a great bore. Please see our photos and good luck!

Marlin Model 1894 .44 Rem Mag Lever Action Rifle & Box MFD 2011

Our Assessment: The Marlin Model 1894 is a lever-action repeating rifle introduced in 1894 by the Marlin Firearms Company of North Haven, Connecticut. At its introduction the rifle came with a 24-inch barrel and was chambered for a variety of rounds such as .25-20 Winchester, .32-20 Winchester, .38-40, and .44-40. Variants in other chamberings remain in production today. The Marlin 1894 is one of the stronger lever-action designs ever produced; it has been in production, with very few changes, for over a century now. The action is robust, dependable, and remarkably easy to disassemble and clean. As a field rifle, it is handy to pair this light and easy-to-use carbine with a similarly chambered revolver. Cowboy Action Shooters have embraced this design, as well. This a beautiful Marlin 1894 made in 2011 chambered in .44 Magnum, a very popular caliber amongst Cowboy Action Shooters.

Rare Marlin Model 1894S .41 Remington Magnum Lever Action Rifle

Lot #1335 (Sale Order 333 of 384)

Very Nice Rare Marlin Model 1894S .41 Remington Magnum Lever Action Rifle

Our Assessment: For more than a century, Marlin's 1894 has served as a popular pistol-caliber lever-action rifle. The design is still in production today and finds favor with both hunters and Cowboy Action Shooting competitors. This example is a Model 1894S made in 1988 and chambered for .41 Remington Magnum. The rifle is in about Fine-plus condition with most of its metal finish remaining and only minor marks in the stocks. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion. The .41 Rem. Mag. was conceived by Elmer Keith and was originally intended for hunting and law enforcement use. He envisioned two different loads: a hot load for hunting and a milder police load. When used with heavy hunting loads, the .41 Magnum offers a flatter trajectory than the .44 Magnum, and can nearly equal its muzzle energy, especially in the new loadings available from Cor-Bon and Buffalo Bore. The .41 Magnum never caught on to the same extent as the smaller .357 or larger .44 Magnum, making these rifles more scarce than the Models chambered for .357 or .44. With its smooth lever action, this great for informal target shooting or hunting at closer ranges where quick accurate follow up shots may be a necessity. Lever action rifles are some of the most fun and will never lose their charm, this one is in nice condition making it a great "used" option. Please see our photos and good luck!

excellent Marlin Model 1895 Limited V .45-70 Gov't Lever Action Rifle & Box, 1999

Our Assessment: This a Marlin Model 1895 LTD V lever action rifle made in 1999 and chambered in .45-70 Government. The rifle is in about excellent condition with about 99% of its metal finish remaining. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and no erosion. The .45-70 cartridge has enjoyed a revival in recent years due to the introduction of projectiles such as Hornady's LeveRevolution which allow it to take advantage of the improved ballistics of a spitzer bullet even in a tubular magazine. This rifle is part of a limited production run of 1,001 made for Davidson's from the year 1999, from a series of rifles which started with the LTD I and ended with the LTD V, with various barrel lengths, weights and stock styles on each model. The LTD V has a pistol grip with an 24" half octagonal barrel. The .45-70 with modern loadings can push a 325gr projectile past 2,000 fps, allowing it to be used for just about any game animal in North America and making it a particularly good round for predators, especially in a shorter, lighter rifle such as this which can be brought to bear quickly and allows for a rapid follow-up shot. As great as this rifle would be for hunting, due to its limited production and high condition, it also will be attractive to Marlin and lever-action rifle collectors. Whatever your use for it, this a great rifle in a great cartridge, the designs for each having remained popular for more than a century. Please see our photos and good luck!

This rifle would be great for hunting or for a Marlin collection which doesn't yet have a .444. The rifle is in about Fine-Plus condition with strong mechanics and a bright bore.

Very Nice Marlin Model 410 26" Lever Action Shotgun 1936-1937

Lot #1342 (Sale Order 340 of 384)

Very Nice Marlin Model 410 26" Lever Action Shotgun 1936-1937

Our Assessment: The concept of a lever-action shotgun is not particularly new, it was used on one of the first repeating shotguns, the John Browning designed Winchester 1887. Like many of Marlin's lever guns, they allowed the design to mature a little before bringing out a gun that was arguably better than Winchester's offerings. The Model 410 was introduced in 1929 using essentially the same design as their Model 93 rifle. This incorporated nice features such as a quite simple design, easy disassembly for maintenance, and side-ejection. The 410 was able to hold six shells, making for a nice gun to carry around looking for small game. It would also turn a couple heads at the skeet range, if you really want to challenge yourself. Please see our photos and good luck!

Rare Pair Winchester Lever Action Cheyenne Commemorative Rifles Model 94 & 9422 & Boxes

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 94 is a lever-action rifle that was produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1894 to 2006. It was one of the most popular rifles of its time and is still highly sought after by collectors and hunters today. The Model 94 was designed by John Browning and was one of the first rifles to use smokeless powder, which made it more powerful and accurate than previous rifles. It was also one of the first rifles to be chambered in the .30-30 Winchester cartridge, which is still a popular hunting cartridge today.Winchester's Model 9422 was introduced in 1972. It was designed to capture the image of the traditional lever-actions with exposed hammer, straight grip, tube magazine and barrel bands. Unlike older Winchester lever actions it came grooved for scope mounting. It was offered in .22 Long Rifle and .22 WMR, and was priced at the high end of the .22LR sporting rifle market. The 9422 action design was original and extremely reliable. The feed system handled the cartridge from the magazine to the breech face by its rim, and the slide cammed the rear of the breechblock up into the locking recess. A concealed polymer buffer above the breech gave a firm-feeling lockup and a very positive unlocking motion.This a Rare matched pair of Winchester Lever Action Cheyenne Commemorative Rifles. These two rifles were both MANUFACTURED in 1977, with only 11,000 of the Model 94 being made and only 5000 of the model 9422 being produced. These commemorative lever action rifles were created to honor the Cheyenne Indian tribe and their contributions to American history. The Cheyenne are a Native American people who are part of the Algonquian language family. Historically, they were primarily located in the Great Plains of the United States, particularly in what is now Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. each rifle has a gorgeous blue and gold finish with nicely engraved receivers and a Cheyenne commemorative coin embedded in each stock. These special edition rifles are in excellent, Near New condition, looking like they spent the majority of their lives inside their boxes.

This rifle was MANUFACTURED some time between 1983-1987 and is in overall Fine-excellent condition, having only light aesthetic wear.

As an apprentice at COOPeR FIReARMS, LeRoy started learning the finer points of stockbuilding, as a sander and also running the duplicating machine. After mastering the different process's of stockbuilding, LeRoy moved into the assembly and customer service areas.In 1995, Dan Cooper hired LeRoy to set up and run the STOCK SHOP, a new business, where LeRoy supervised and built HIGH GRADe over under shotgun sets for a Connecticut based company called CVC. In 1997, COOPeR ARMS and CVC merged, bringing LeRoy back under the COOPeR ARMS umbrella, where he was handed the wood shop once again. LeRoy had a number of stock designs he developed, two of which were for the ANSCHUTZ USA project, a sporter and a mannlicher, based around the Anschutz 1710 action. These received high marks with the writers and the public. In the spring of 1998, LeRoy left COOPeR ARMS for a short hiatus, but was convinced to come back and run the wood shop in 1999.In the years that followed, LeRoy built many custom stocks around different actions thru COOPeR ARMS, along with supervising, designing and producing Coopers own line, which includes the JACKSON SQUIRReL rifle and others.In 2001, LeRoy's future wife, Connie, started learning the fine art of high grade checkering, also a COOPeR ARMS employee, where she excelled. Thru her background as a wildlife artist and having a fine eye for detail and design, she is equally important in the overall success and unmatched quality and beauty of a CANYON CReeK stock.In 2004 LeRoy was encouraged by Dan Cooper himself, to start producing his own custom products.

Remington Model 700 BDL .223 Rem 24" Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1355 (Sale Order 353 of 384)

Remington Model 700 BDL .223 Rem 24" Bolt Action Rifle

Our Assessment: The Remington 700 needs no introduction, it has been one of the most popular bolt action rifles in America for decades, seeing use in target shooting, hunting, and in law enforcement. Remington had been producing sporting rifles for decades, but their Post-WWI Model 30 Sporter took too much time and money to make, plus it required too much milling. After WWII they designed the Model 721 which used a receiver made of bar stock, meaning it could be turned on a lathe, cutting production time and cost. The basic design of the 721 went through further developments under the direction of engineer Mike Walker, and Remington went on to produce the Model 722 and Model 725, and finally, in 1962, the Model 700 was born. With the design, Walker desired to increase accuracy over previous designs so tight bore & chamber tolerances, a short lead, and fast lock time were used. Since its inception in 1962, it has been produced in just about any caliber and configuration you could think of. If it hasn't there are custom parts and gunsmiths out there to get it exactly how you like.The 700 is a classic in the truest sense of the word and has seen its fair share of use in just about any role you could imagine a bolt action rifle being used for. It has shaped firearms history as mentioned above and has been a mainstay in movies, TV, and videogames. It shows no signs of falling out of favor after its meteoric rise, and even after Remington filed for bankruptcy and restructured, new models can be found on their new website. This a piece of history, both firearms and American, and something everyone needs at least one of. If you don't have one yet, why not? This 700 BDL looks good and is a great 700 to pick up, no matter if it's your first or fiftieth. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!

Remington Model 700 ADL 6mm Rem. 22" Bolt Action Rifle & Accessories

Lot #1357 (Sale Order 355 of 384)

Remington Model 700 ADL 6mm Rem. 22" Bolt Action Rifle, Bushnell Scope & Sling

Our Assessment: The Remington 700 was introduced in 1962 and was accompanied by a new Remington round, the 7mm Magnum. The duo were a supernova the industry was not ready for, but the people were. In 1963 Winchester launched their counter-offensive and put out the .300 Winchester Magnum. Remington had already been crushing it with sales of the 870 and had introduced a philosophy, which is still used today, of parts interchangeability. Perhaps the Remington 700 was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel’s back" for Winchester. It likely didn’t hurt that the 700 was new and nobody had preconceived notions of what it should be while the Model 70 was already beloved and was being changed for the worse, but nonetheless, Winchester zigged and Remington zagged. A year after the .300 Win Mag was put to market, the onslaught from Remington was too much, Winchester cut costs and streamlined manufacturing across the board (most collectors already know this as it spurred the Winchester collecting terms Pre-64 and Post-64) while the Big Green scaled up and had out three variants with numerous calibers in the early 1960s. The ADL, BDL, and BDL Magnum. Introductory prices for standard calibers were $114.95 for the ADL and $139.95 for the BDL. Prices for magnum versions of the BDL were $154.95 for the .264 Win. Mag., 7 mm Rem. Mag and .300 Win. Mag. and $310 for the .375 H&H Mag. and .458 Win. Mag. In the first three years alone, rifles in the hot new 7mm Rem Mag outsold the tried and true .30-06 and .270 Win…combined! With other companies cutting costs, Remington did something different and went the other way…completely on brand for them, ha! The old Magnum 700s were made of stainless steel due to hunters of the time not wanting anything but blued finishes, something that sounds funny today. Sportsman of the time wanted nothing other than a traditional blued finish, and as the old adage goes "when money talks, people listen." Remington sure did listen and went to great expense to layer on coats of different material so that the blue would adhere to the stainless guns. They have gone through many changes and updates over the years and will likely continue to do so.The 700 is a classic in the truest sense of the word and has seen its fair share of use in just about any role you could imagine a bolt action rifle being used for. It has shaped firearms history as mentioned above and has been a mainstay in movies, TV, and videogames. It shows no signs of falling out of favor after its meteoric rise, and even after Remington filed for bankruptcy and restructured, new models can be found on their new website. This a piece of history, both firearms and American, and something everyone needs at least one of. If you don’t have one yet, why not?

Springfield 1903 Sporter Aperture Sight .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle

Lot #1359 (Sale Order 357 of 384)

Springfield 1903 Sporter Aperture Sight .30-06 Bolt Action Rifle

Our Assessment: When the US Army was looking for a rifle design to replace the 1898 Krag rifle, they looked directly at the Spanish Model 1893 Mauser. This was due to the fact that the performance of the Model 1893 Mauser was far superior than that of the 1898 Krag during the Spanish-American War. 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 1918, the barrel was made in 1942, it has been rebuilt and refinished. It includes a sight protector and attached green canvas sling. This 1903 is in Very Nice condition, it looks impressive for a 100 year old military bolt action rifle. This 1903 has good Springfield markings on the receiver and 1942 marked barrel. This 1903 has a Fine bore, strong mechanics, nice Blued finish and a well preserved wood stock. This well maintained rifle will be perfect for target practice at the range. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!

In this writer's opinion and for the age, the bore rates a 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. 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 96% of its metal finish. The metal shows light handling marks. The barrel and bottom metal show freckling of light surface erosion. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good Plus condition as refinished.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly, there is light operational wear. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a more thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: Green canvas sling included.

Winchester Custom Shop Model 70 US 1971 NRA Palma Trophy Match .308

Lot #1361 (Sale Order 359 of 384)

Winchester Custom Shop Model 70 US 1971 Palma Trophy Match .308 Bolt Rifle NRA

Our Assessment: The Palma Trophy Match is one of, if not the most prestigious long-range rifle competitions in the world. Its history goes back to 1873, when the first International Long Range Rifle match was hosted by the Creedmoor Range in Queens, New York. Teams from Ireland the United States participated in this first match with a second match held in 1874 at the Dollymount Range in Ireland, with the United States winning both matches. The National Rifle Association of America organized the first Palma Trophy Match in 1876 to celebrate the American Centennial, commissioning a massive seven and a half foot trophy from Tiffany's for $1,500 (nearly $40,000 in 2022!). The name was taken from the trophy, a replica of a Roman standard which had "PALMA" replacing "SPQR" across the top of the standard, Latin for "victory/valor".The matches consist of strings of fire at distances of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. The first matches were fired with muzzle-loading rifles and there were simple overall weight and trigger weight restrictions. Matches were held intermittently with the rules for the 1901 match updated to require each nation's team to use a domestic military rifle and in 1968 the rules were updated again to require that the team's rifles be identical guns provided by the host nation. In 1968, 1971, and 1976, the United States hosted the Palma Trophy Match and selected the Winchester Model 70 for the rifle to be used by all competitors.These rifles were not standard Winchester Target models, but rather rifles specially built by Winchester's Custom Shop. The Palma Trophy Match Model 70 was never cataloged and never offered for sale to the public, only provided to the teams at the U.S. hosted Palma matches. The barrels used for the 1971 rifles were longer, heavier profiled and had counter-bored muzzles. Their actions and the chamber area of the barrels were glass-bedded to the stocks with the remainder of the barrels free-floating. Intriguingly, their receivers are slotted for clip-loading and the bolts were factory-jeweled. The 1971 model differed from the 1968 by having an upgraded front sight, a matte finish on the barrel, and an externally adjustable trigger. It also received a new Palma Trophy Match roll-mark on the right of the barrel celebrating the National Rifle Association's Centennial.This example of the 1971 Palma Trophy Match rifle is in Fine condition with a strong bright bore. It should be noted that the United States hosted at Camp Perry in 1971 and also won. We have not been able to find documentation of whether this individual rifle was used by the American or the visiting Canadian, Australian or Great Britain teams. The rifle has all of the correct features and markings of the 1971 Match rifles. This will make a nice addition to a Winchester collection or a collection of long range competition rifles. With approximately 100 rifles made for the 1971 Match, an opportunity such as this doesn't come by every day.

Lot #1363 (Sale Order 361 of 384)

Remington 7615 Police Pump Action Parkerized 16.5" 5.56 Nato/ .223 Rem Rifle

Our Assessment: This a Remington Model 7615 Police pump action rifle chambered for 5.56 NATO. The 7615 is a member of the 7600 family, itself a descendant of the 760. The Model 760 was introduced after WWII, during the war the company had to streamline production and use more economical methods and materials. This caused issues since these new practices could not be adapted to their pre-war designs, thus the 760 was born and replaced the Model 141 pump action. The 7600 is like the earlier 760 with some updates to the action and was introduced in 1981. This one is a Police Model and what makes it handy is that it can take the same magazines as your AR-15, thus dubbed the 7615. The purpose of the design was to give police officers the same operation as their Model 870 shotguns but with a rifle. With its slick pump action design and 16 1/2" barrel, it's a fairly compact and fast-handling gun which will allow for rapid follow-up shots. The rifle has nice adjustable iron sights. The bore is stellar and there is no reason to think that with the proper care this rifle won't last a few lifetimes. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!

A&W engineering 4:1 Diverter Remington Model 870 Wingmaster 12 GA Folding Pump Action 18" Shotgun

Our Assessment: Remington had always wanted to best the Winchester Model 12, and when they realized it could not be done with the bottom ejecting Model 17, they introduced the Model 31. The Model 31 was made from 1931 to 1949 and was Remington's first-ever side-ejecting shotgun. It did well, but it too was not up to the task of beating the Model 12. With less than 200,000 produced of all gauges combined, the Model 31 would soon be discontinued, but elements of its design would be carried on to a new shotgun that would become one of the most popular guns ever made. In 1950, Remington introduced their new modern, streamlined, rugged, reliable, and relatively inexpensive shotgun – the 870. They reached two million guns by 1973 (ten times the number of Model 31 shotguns it replaced). As of 1983, the 870 held the record for the best-selling shotgun in history with three million sold. They have been used by militaries, police departments, and sportsmen all over the world. It has survived the years phenomenally, look great and has a very attractive folding "Law enforcement Only" stock. This will be a nice gun to take into the field or challenge yourself on a closed tactical course. Please see our photos and good luck!

Beautiful 1963 Legiers engraved 28" Diana Grade Browning Superposed 12 Ga. O/U Over Under Shotgun

Our Assessment: After the death of John Browning, his son Val would complete an over under shotgun with a single selective trigger and ejectors; the Superposed was introduced in 1931, it was an instant success; the factory did not produce any of these shotguns during WWII but just after the war ended, the factory came roaring back to life, creating some of their best product to date. This a post-war FN produced Diana Grade from 1963, in about Very Good-Fine condition, retaining about 95% of its metal finish. Only sixty five of these were made in Diana Grade! The barrels are 28" vent ribbed and choked Full over Modified. Unfortunately, there is a mechanical issue with the trigger that will need to be addressed. The bores are bright and the mechanics are crisp over 50 years since this work of art left the factory. The engraving was done by Legiers.

There are some light marks on the barrel set and light streaks of finish loss on the lower barrel at the rear from contact with the forearm. There is some faint thinning on the edges at the muzzles and rib. The markings are clear. The screw heads are sharp to lightly used with strong slots. Overall, this shotgun is in about Fine condition. (See Mechanics)

Mechanics: The action functions correctly including the ejectors. However, the safety switch seems to be stuck. It may just be gummed up and require proper cleaning and lubrication. The safety does NOT set automatically when the action is opened. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Funken engraved Diana Grade Browning Superposed 20 Ga. Over Under Shotgun

Lot #1380 (Sale Order 378 of 384)

Beautiful 1959 Funken engraved 28" Diana Grade Browning Superposed 20 Ga. O/U Over Under Shotgun

Our Assessment: After the death of John Browning, his son Val would complete an over under shotgun with a single selective trigger and ejectors; the Superposed was introduced in 1931, it was an instant success; the factory did not produce any of these shotguns during WWII but just after the war ended, the factory came roaring back to life, creating some of their best product to date. This a post-war FN produced Diana Grade from 1959, in about Fine condition, retaining about 96% of its metal finish. Only sixty five of these were made in Diana Grade! The barrels are 28" vent ribbed and choked Full over Skeet. The bores are bright and the mechanics are crisp over 50 years since this work of art left the factory. However, the safety/selector will need some attention. The engraving was done by master engraver Funken. This a beautiful shotgun and would be a fantastic addition for anyone who fancies themselves a true collector. Please see our photos and good luck!

Krieghoff Classic "Big Five" .470 Nitro express Side by Side Double Rifle

Lot #1381 (Sale Order 379 of 384)

Krieghoff Classic "Big Five" Double Rifle .470 Nitro express 23 5/8" Side by Side Double Rifle

Our Assessment: H. Krieghoff GmbH – known worldwide as "Krieghoff" – began as a single vision to build the ideal hunting gun, a Drilling. Krieghoff's evolution from its 1886 founding as Sempert and Krieghoff to one of the top manufacturers of fine hunting and sporting arms currently spans five generations, each with an innovative eye to the future. Reflecting its roots, Krieghoff continues to build and offer hunting arms, such as drillings, rifles including double rifles and shotguns including a bespoke line of true sidelock arms. With their pure elegance, first-class craftsmanship and proven technology, these masterpieces of the art of gunmaking fall into the same category as the highly coveted "best" English or Italian guns.This one of their bespoke rifles, the Classic "Big Five" Double Rifle. Nothing epitomizes the skills and experience needed for a successful hunt like taking game with a classic double rifle. Prized by dangerous game hunters for years, the classic double rifle provides the security and reliability when each shot really counts. The Krieghoff Classic "Big Five" Double Rifle combines the heritage of the traditional side-by-side and the sophistication of the most modern design and manufacturing technology. Krieghoff's master gunmakers combined both traditional wisdom and innovative ideas to build a rifle that provides the ultimate in safety and reliability and a wide range of features that ensure smooth, quick, and accurate shooting. In addition to the superb handling of the rifle, a most important feature is the manual cocking device, which is located on the top tang, in the position usually occupied by a conventional safety. It allows carrying the rifle fully loaded with the hammers uncocked – the safest position since there is no chance of an accidental discharge. Craig Boddington, an accomplished hunter and knowledgeable writer remarks: "After using it in the field, I am increasingly impressed with your cocking device versus a traditional safety. Great rifle, and of course it performed wonderfully."This one has seen little use and looks absolutely beautiful. The bores in its nominal 24" barrel set are nice and the mechanics are Safari ready. If you have the stones to chase the African "Big Five" (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo) then you are certainly ballsy enough to drop a bid! Please see our photos and good luck!

Remington Baikal MR221 .45-70 Government 24" SxS Double Rifle

Lot #1385 (Sale Order 383 of 384)

Remington Baikal MR221 .45-70 Government 24" SxS Double Rifle

Our Assessment: The double rifle has a long hunting history. When taking large, dangerous game and predators, a rapid follow-up shot can be the difference not only between a humane kill, but between the life and death of the hunter. The double rifle allows this without the need to manually cycle an action or to trust a semi-automatic design, which really only became reliable enough for such an application in the mid-20th century. This example is a fairly recently produced gun, made in Russia by Baikal in 2008. The consignor affirms that the firing pins have been factory replaced. It is chambered for .45-70 Government, a fairly popular big-game cartridge here in the US, and one which has seen something of a revival lately due to improvements in projectiles and loads for the cartridge. This rifle would be a nice addition to any collection and shows little sign of use. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!
