serial #AYT9745, 357 Magnum, 3'' full lug heavy barrel with an excellent bore. This “CS 1'' marked U.S. Customs Distinguished Combat Magnum revolver remains in excellent condition. The Customs Service revolvers have a long and storied history with about 7000-8000 manufactured in three barrel lengths, the 3'' version encompassing about 3200 units. The U.S. Customs service wanted a service life of 10,000-rounds of magnum ammunition requiring tighter tolerance than standard production guns. The high tolerances led to reliability issues which required modifications by the factory. Modified guns were marked with an “M'' by the factory, in-service guns were checked by factory armorers at the federal Glynco, Georgia facility and added a “2'' to guns previously modified. The guns were not well liked by the agents due to the weight and the taint of reliability problems, although solved by the factory, and were eventually offered for sale to the public before Attorney General Janet Reno stopped the sale to the civilian market and ordered the remaining guns destroyed. This fine gun survived her misguided purge and has the “2M'' stamp. The dull gray bead blast stainless steel surfaces rate excellent with a few insignificant handling marks. The smooth combat trigger and service hammer retain full hard chrome finish.

German C96 Bolo Semi-Auto Pistol by Mauser Oberndorf

Lot #1153 (Sale Order 154 of 655)

serial #445304, 30 Mauser, 5 1/2'' barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing some mild oxidation in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. This is a rather peculiar early post-war commercial pistol that appears to have had its slightly longer than standard barrel grafted onto the upper receiver. The work, however, was very well executed and a little decorative circumferential band was then engraved around the barrel nearer the chamber and the front sight sleeved and pinned back on. The barrel itself shows generous remnants of original blue with some mottled areas flaking and toning to a mild gray patina. The remaining metal surfaces are quite nice retaining about 90% original blue showing some mild high edge wear, a few light dings along the forward magazine and some other light handling marks. The small parts all show lovely brilliant fire blue, the bolt body is mostly bright and the hammer and fire control group are a deep gray. All markings remain crisp and clear, the left side frame with small period “Germany'' import mark. The 22-groove walnut grips are stamp-numbered to the gun and remain in near excellent condition left and very good plus condition right, the right panel with some scattered dings. The bolt stop is mismatched numbered “745'' and the remaining serialized parts are matching. The locking recesses on the bolt show some moderate operational wear and the action otherwise seems to function normally. An interesting Bolo C96 pistol. (13B11466-10) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Scarce Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Sporting Rifle

Lot #1160 (Sale Order 161 of 655)

serial #270, 56-46 Spencer, 26'' round barrel with a partially bright about good bore showing some scattered patches of light to moderate old oxidation, light pitting and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This is a rather nice example of the desirable early post-war Spencer commercial sporting rifle, the barrel having mostly toned to a deep rich plum-brown patina under bright light showing a few light handling marks and some very fine sparsely scattered pinprick pits.

The original markings are intact and mostly legible and the internal protected areas of the breechblock show fine vibrant case-hardened colors throughout. There are period, likely original, filler screws in the tang sight holes and the serial number is properly stamped offset below. The smooth deluxe walnut buttstock and forend with pewter nosecap remain in about very good plus condition retaining about 80% original varnish that shows the expected honest wear with scattered light dings and handling marks. The buttstock shows a few thin flakes and slivers forming against the lockplate and edges of the buttplate with a lightly cracking 1'' area threatening to flake at the heel. The buttstock exhibits a little minor play and the wood shows some really lovely grain figure throughout. All of the major components are matching by assembly number “113'' and the rifle is sighted with standard military-style rear sight and original plain bead front. The action seems to function well mechanically. A nice honest example of these interesting sporting variants, only about 1700 were manufactured for three years after the Civil War and they were not a commercial success largely due to the limitations of the Spencer action.

Early Marlin Ballard No. 5 Pacific Rifle

Lot #1161 (Sale Order 162 of 655)

serial #875, 50 CF, 30'' octagon six-groove barrel with a partially bright good bore showing scattered areas of light pitting and oxidation its full-length and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This rifle appears to have been rechambered during the period of use into a 50 centerfire cartridge, however in-house testing indicates it is not 50-70 as there is a slight constriction in the chamber not allowing 50-70 to chamber completely, however the rim seems to perfectly match that of the 50-70 case. The barrel has toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing some scattered mild oxidation, a few areas of old dings or light tool and vise marks. The front rod thimble is a modern aged replacement while the rear appears to be original. The action is more of a medium gray-brown patina showing some light oxidation and old dings. The lever screw is a more modern replacement and the lever itself is the early Brown-style. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition showing an old light cleaning, some overall light dings and handling marks. There are cracks along either side of the wrist and the buttstock is a bit shy of the frame, it and the crescent steel buttplate are indeed mismatched numbered “30473''. The forend is un-numbered and neatly repurposed for the rifle showing a pair of nicely executed circular plug repairs front and back and reattached horn tip insert. A brass-tipped hickory cleaning rod is present and the barrel and breechblock are matching the frame. The rifle is sighted with standard sporting rear sight and German silver blade front and the action will require some mechanical attention as the hammer pushes off at full cock and the half cock notch is worn. A very good early Marlin Ballard rifle. (13B10759-63) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Smith & Wesson 32 ACP Semi-Auto Pistols

Lot #1173 (Sale Order 174 of 655)

serial #489 & NSN, 32 ACP, 3 1/2'' barrels with partially bright bores showing some light pitting and oxidation with good rifling. Pistol #489 appears to be a standard production gun, albeit in rather rough shape, while the unserialized example appears to be a tool room or experimental piece. The serialized pistol is mostly a deep gunmetal gray-blue patina showing evident buff marks and cleaning throughout with a number of moderate pits and some old oxidation. The principal markings are mostly intact and there is no right grip panel. The left panel is a piece of plexiglass backed by heavy cardboard and a somewhat crude magazine modified for the gun is included. The recoil spring and lug that link the breechblock and slide are missing along with the grip safety spring and perhaps a few other small parts though the trigger and hammer mechanism appear to function normally. The experimental gun has an unfinished frame, the breechblock appears to be oil-quenched case-hardened and the slide is a pale fire blue. The metal surfaces show scattered oxidation, lighter on the right side and rather heavier throughout the left side, and the pistol bears full factory markings. A number of parts are missing including the grips, grip safety, extractor, magazine catch and likely some other small parts as the action is not functional though the slide reciprocates properly and what appears to be an original magazine is included. An interesting pair of pistols. (13A11369-92,99) {C&R} [Donald C. Fogg Collection] (1200/1800)

Smith & Wesson Tool Room/Experimental Model 1913 Semi-Auto Pistols

Lot #1174 (Sale Order 175 of 655)

35 S&W Auto, 3 1/2'' barrels with mostly bright very fine bores. This lot includes an unfinished frame and barrel assembly and a complete, albeit mostly in-the-white, functioning pistol. While Smith & Wesson’s new cartridge for this pistol was referred to as the “35 S&W Auto'', the final cartridge in fact used a bullet diameter more or less identical to the 32 ACP (.309''-.312'' or so). Interestingly, the complete pistol in this lot does in fact have a groove diameter of about 0.355''. As this is an unserialized experimental/tool room gun it is apparent S&W was in fact at some point experimenting with a true 35 caliber cartridge, perhaps the earliest iteration of the cartridge and the name just stuck with it for the remainder of its existence? It is equally possible that it is an experiment in chambering for 380 ACP, as testing indicates that seems to fit in the chamber rather well. In any event the in-the-white surfaces are in very good plus condition having not received final polishing showing some scattered light handling marks and spots of mild oxidation. The breechblock is a dark gray tone and appears to be oil-quenched case-hardened. The left side barrel shows crisp “35 S.&W. AUTO. CTG'' stamp while the top bears three line address and patent dates up to Sept. 24, 1912. The smooth walnut grips with gold S&W medallions remain in very good condition with some overall dings and mild abrasions. One blued magazine is included and the action seems to be fully functional.

Scarce Peabody Martini Type A Commercial Military Rifle by Providence Tool Co.

Lot #1300 (Sale Order 301 of 655)

45 Peabody Martini, 33'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a solid example of Providence Tool’s low-production Type A rifle, made in the military style and made concurrently with the Turkish contract guns. Correct for a commercial rifle that stayed on these shores, the rifle is not marked with the Sultan’s tughra which would formally denote Ottoman property, and the rear sight is in yards. Strangely, this example appears to remain in its originally intended Turkish cartridge, rather than the 1000 or so other examples that were offered in 45-70 and 50-70. The rim cutout is rather larger than 45-70 and the chamber shows a definite bottleneck. The metal surfaces are a relatively even mix of fading original blue and pleasant deep gray-brown patina showing some scattered light handling marks and light oxidation speckling. The breechblock is a deep gunmetal gray patina and the inside protected areas of the lever retain some wisps of case-hardened colors. The maker markings on the left side of the action remain crisp and the components show a number of small inspector stamps scattered throughout consisting of small star stamps, an “S'' on the left barrel shank and “(Star) / W'' along the bow of the triggerguard. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition showing a little older added varnish and scattered light dings, the buttstock showing a few lengthy but thin drying cracks and some darkened areas of old oxidation leaching. There is a softened circled “A'' cartouche on the left side of the buttstock and a rear underside of forend and the coarsely checkered steel buttplate is intact. The rifle is properly without a bayonet lug, the sling swivels and safety are intact and a period cleaning rod is present. An interesting and seldom seen rifle. (13B11468-1) {ANTIQUE} (1500/2000)

The barrel of this 1891-manufactured rifle retains about 90-93% original blue thinning in places to a plum-blue patina with the expected high edge wear, scattered light handling marks, and spots of old light oxidation. The magazine tube, forend cap, frame, and bolt are toning to a blend of plum and gray patina with a generous amount of original blue in the protected areas and on the lower tang, light handling marks, and spots of light oxidation. The lever and crescent buttplate are toning to gray with fine speckles of light oxidation and traces of original case-hardened colors here and there, while the hammer is toning to a pewter-gray case-hardened patina with stronger case-hardened colors on the right side.

The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and forend rate about fine with a light coat of added finish, the checkering on the wraparound panel on the forend is softened near the receiver, there are some scattered spots of finish wear, overall light handling marks and a short hairline crack behind the upper tang.

The “COLT’S'' of the maker mark on the barrel is softened but legible, and the other barrel markings including the “22 Cal.'' are crisp. The Rampant Colt on the left side of the receiver is also crisp. The deluxe walnut straight grip buttstock rates about excellent with perhaps a light coat of period added finish, a few short grain cracks, and some scattered light handling marks. There is lovely grain figure on both sides of the buttstock. The checkered forend rates very good with a 2 3/4'' crack running from the front through the screw escutcheon, and numerous chipped points in the checkering.

Lot #1304 (Sale Order 305 of 655)

serial #96399-2, 303 Savage, 20'' barrel with a bright about excellent bore. This excellent condition rifle is unusual thanks to its hyphenated serial number, and the fact that its number would suggest it was produced in 1910 and should therefore be marked as a “Model 1899.'' Nevertheless, its configuration places it as a Model 99T. The metal surfaces retain about 93-95% original blue with some thinning to blue-gray patina on the sides and high edges of the frame, wear to gray on the toe and heel of the buttplate, and a few scattered light handling marks.

Both the receiver and barrel are date coded “80'' and the top of the receiver is stamped “KC109054''. This marking is not factory applied and could be a rack or inventory number used by a Police Department or other agency, further research could prove interesting into this rifle’s background. This is overall a very good example with some light cosmetic issues that shouldn’t prevent this fine blend of Austrian engineering from being a top performing target rifle.

Everitt WWII Era Knuckle Knife

Lot #1329 (Sale Order 330 of 655)

Made with both black and the scarcer green enamel handles, it believed that the knife was intentionally designed with a blank, rather simple appearance and intended for covert combat operations. This specimen measures 11 5/8'' overall with a 6 3/4'' doubled edged spear shaped blade equipped with narrow single fullers. The blade is in excellent condition remaining unsharpened and retaining about 92% original blackened finish with the majority of loss along the tip and high edges.

The equally unique replacement scabbard appears to be theater-made having a single stitched standard brown leather body with an added lighter leather pancake-style frog, both showing light age staining and fancy incise carved initials. The back is stitched gray-green leather with wire belt hook showing modest staining from the years. An excellent unknown yet highly sought after WWII fighting knife. (5A11410-47) (700/900)

This pistol is equipped with a square-notch rear sight and fixed blade front, a safety notch cutout in the slide, and the secondary drop-safety bolt notch is functional. The KG9 began life as an open-bolt submachinegun targeted at law enforcement, when a lack of interest led Interdynamic to modify the design into this open-bolt, semi-automatic pistol; due to the ease with which this and other open-bolt semi-automatic firearms could be illegally modified, the BATFE declared all such firearms produced after 1982 to be machineguns. As a result, original grandfathered examples of the one-year-only, 2,500-unit production of this firearm are exceedingly rare and collectible, as many such examples have been subject to further destruction or seizure. This fine example includes the original box and manual, two-point nylon sling, and an original 20-round factory magazine. A rare opportunity to own one of these interesting and scarce open-bolt pistols. (26A11235-6) {MODERN} (1200/1800)

A rather nice fowler from this respected London maker. (13A10759-15) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

Marlin Ballard No. 3 Sporting Rifle Rebored by Stevens

Lot #1647 (Sale Order 648 of 655)

serial #35186, 25 Stevens RF, 24'' octagon barrel with a partially bright good bore showing some scattered oxidation and light pitting, more noticeable ahead of the chamber and otherwise strong rifling. The barrel retains perhaps 60-70% original blue thinning and toning to mild gray-brown patina and showing some scattered old oxidation, some small areas perhaps a bit more moderate. The left barrel flat retains a crisp “REBORED & RIFLED'' marking over full Stevens address. The action retains a similar amount of somewhat fading original case-hardened colors, rather vibrant along the left side, and muting to a smoky gray with scattered old oxidation. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very fine condition retaining about 95% original varnish showing a tight 1'' crack along the left side wrist where it meets the frame, and just some other scattered light dings and handling marks. The point of comb has been notched to allow the tang sight to fold down nicely. The hard rubber shotgun buttplate rates near excellent and the rifle is sighted with short range Vernier tang sight, a simple period replacement v-notch rear and the front sight dovetail is vacant. The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically. (13B10759-72) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)

Rare Harrington & Richardson Target Model 766 Double Action Revolver

Lot #1648 (Sale Order 649 of 655)

serial #497662, 22 RF, 6'' ribbed round barrel with a bright excellent bore.

Barrel-to-frame fit is solid and the action seems to function well mechanically with very good timing and lock-up. This is a rather rare variant from the 1930s with only about 10,000-15,000 manufactured. (13A11178-8) {C&R} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (650/750)
