Lot #4001 (Sale Order 1 of 701)

SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Cal. 54 Rocket Ball. S NSN. Bbl. 26 1/4" round. On Dec. 25 1849 Lewis Jennings was granted a patent for his improvement of the Hunt rifle.

The iron action of this rifle has simple scroll engraving influenced by Kentucky style muzzle loading rifles. Left side of action has a weakly visible Robbins and Lawrence / Windsor VT. address followed by partially visible C.P. Dixon Agent and patent markings. Top of action is fitted with a circular pill priming feed device. Hammer has a long extension to fire a pill primer which was seated on the rear of the bullet as the action was closed.

Lot #4008 (Sale Order 8 of 701)

FIRST MODEL FLATSIDE CARBINE. Cal. 44 HRF. S 13187 marked on the inside of the lower tang. Noted author historian R.L. Wilson states in binder of included research "After extensive research and more than 50 years of seeking a lower serial number marking on the first Winchester the 1866 which also has been engraved- the writer has concluded that No. 13187 is indeed the first engraved Winchester presently known to the collecting fraternity". Bbl. 20" carbine style. First-model 1866 flatside carbine with King's Improvement loading system. First-model 66s are easily distinguishable by their lack of forearm flare.

The upper right side is engraved "Empetador de Mejico." It is believed that the Emperor Maximilian engraving was added at a later date. The primary receiver engraving likely done in the shop of L. D. Nimschke is believed to be correct and as much as this may be the earliest known factory-engraved Winchester rifle The model 1866s were serial numbered in the same range as the approximately 14000 Henry rifles and overlapped with Henry serial numbers. Magazine band-mounted front sight with folding leaf rear sight. This rare carbine had a silver-finished action with a blued bbl. and mag. tube and a case-colored hammer and lever. Walnut carbine forearm and straight grip stock with brass crescent trapdoor rifle buttplate. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: included is a 17-page binder of information from noted author R. L. Wilson. Mr. Wilson speculates that it is logical that Oliver Winchester would have presented the first engraved Winchester to Emperor Maximilian due to the importance of establishing foreign sales. The binder goes on to discuss the merits of this rare carbine the history of Winchester and his pursuit of international sales for his new rifle. Mr. Wilson ends his narrative with the following paragraph: "Considering all its many features the writer regards Serial No. 13187 Model 1866 as an icon in the history of arms collecting. This historic work of art will be featured in future editions of the author's Winchester: An American Legend book as well as in future Winchester engraving titles and in any further tributes by the author to the artistry of L.D. Nimschke." CONDITION: the action retains over 10 silver finish in protected areas showing a pleasing dark tarnish. The remnants of the brass receiver and buttplate exhibit a pleasing mustard patina.

ARMY REVOLVER "TIFFANY" CIVIL WAR BATTLE SCENE METAL GRIPS. Cal. 44 S 180417. The rarest of "Tiffany" all metal grips have Civil War battle scene panels.

Another engraved pair with identical grips are found in the Smithsonian Institution collection photos of both accompany this lot. There has been much written about these grips and their manufacture by Larry Wilson in his early texts attributed these to Tiffany manufacture. Later published research by Marlin Polhemus shows these are most likely the product of Wexell and Degress of Mexico City. Wexel Degress sold these grips to Colt Schuyler Hartley Graham and others based on receipts. These beautiful raised relief metal grips were mounted on custom Nimschke engraved Schuyler Hartley Graham marketed revolvers who illustrated these grips in their 1864 catalog. Regardless of the manufacturer whether it was Ames or Wexell Degress the Nimschke shop SHG and Tiffany all utilized these grips on their most special revolvers. There are several different fancy relief grips these are by far the rarest with Civil War battle scenes. Revolver is in standard configuration 8" barrel with one line New York address scroll engraving a very similar form can be found in the accompanying pages from Wilson's engraving books attributed to Nimschke shop. This revolver based on serial number was manufactured in 1869 many of these revolvers stayed in factory and were converted to cartridge.

WITH FACTORY LETTER. EX FLAYDERMAN RHOLES COLLECTIONS. Cal 22 RF. S 1860. Bbl. 7 1/2" with correct short blade front sight. Beginning in 1875 Colt began production of the 44 RF SAA however by this time centerfire cartridge performance had already far outpaced that of rimfire cartridges rendering SAAs chambered in 44 RF obsolete from the start and are found in the S range 1-18XX. In an attempt to bolster sales Colt then decided to manufacture or convert RF frames to a more desirable / saleable caliber thus the introduction of the 22 RF to the Colt SAA line. The "solution" fell flat however and as stated in "A STUDY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER" by Graham Kopec Moore page 29 "In his research of Colt shipping records John E Parsons accounted for 107 .22 caliber standard frame Single Actions. However a separation of converted .22's and regular .22 cal. production was not noted." With a meager 107 22 RF SAAs produced this remains one of the rarest calibers in existence. Matching numbers appear on frame cyl grip frame bbl. Left front of trigger guard bow marked "22 CAL" and does not appear to be an overstamp. Correct unnumbered 2 piece checkered hard rubber eagle grips. Bbl. has 1 line block letter address. Left side of frame marked with 3 line patent date.

Exceptionally rare in any configuration this revolver has a number of features that make it truly stand out. "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Vol. 1" by Keith Cochran using survey statistics based on 167 surveyed revolvers with the total estimated production of Sheriff's Model Colts 1000 there were a scant 305 manufactured with 3 1/2" barrels. Additionally of that 1000 only 180 were chambered in 44-40. Utilizing specific numbers found in "THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER" By Don Wilkerson Carol Wilkerson Colt Historian Kathleen Hoyt of the serial numbers 1-164100 1896 a total of 122 ejectorless model were found chambered in 44-40. Of those 34 were manufactured with a 3 1/2" barrel. Of the 3 1/2" 44-40s only 10 were nickel finished. It should also be noted that page 72 of "A STUDY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY" by Graham Kopec Moore states "Above SN 130000 around 1890 the percentage so SMs manufactured in 44-40 caliber dropped sharply for some unknown reason. Our survey lists only six 44-40 ejectorless SAs from 130000 through the end on SM production. This revolver was manufactured with a first type "fluted" frame. "A STUDY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY" by Graham Kopec Moore states on page 67 "Beginning in the 122000 or 123000 SNR the specially forged fluted Sheriff's Model frames were discontinued" making this revolver one of the last produced with this style frame.

Letter from Colt Historian Ron Graham regarding this specific revolver. CONDITION: metal finish is gray / patina with no original nickel remaining. Etched panel is faint but visible and appears original. Above letter from Graham states "At sometime in the past that nickel was professionally removed. While collectors do not prefer to have original finish removed from a firearm the fact that this SA was not buffed or polished by an amateur is extremely fortunate. This outstanding COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER panel survived only because of someone's professionalism." Grips show wear commensurate with age.

In 1974 Holliday gifted Trevallion the items he received from Jeff Milton over the years. Before Milton's passing while retired in Tucson he befriended W. Bill J. Holliday who was owner of the adjacent Holliday Ranch. Their friendship would last until Milton's passing with Milton serving as Best Man at Holliday Sr.'s wedding. An accompanying photo shows Milton 2nd from left with W.J. Holliday Sr. center Jr. left together at the Holiday Ranch. Also mentioned in "JEFF MILTON A GOOD MAN WITH A GUN" by J. Evetts Haley on page 407 is an exchange that took place between Milton and a young Jack Holliday in the Holliday living room. Jefferson Jeff Davis Milton 1861-1947 was a well known respected lawman with a long illustrious career roaming the countryside from Texas to Arizona. In July 1880 Milton began his lawman career as a Texas Ranger. Falsifying his birth date on the application Milton 18 at the time added 3 years to his age in order to meet the minimum 21. In 1884 Milton traveled to New Mexico taking up employment as a Cowboy Detective for a cattle association and would later become Deputy Sheriff of Socorro County NM. Gaining notoriety for his speed and efficiency with a firearm Milton was hired in 1887 by Collector of Customs Joseph Magoffin in an effort to prevent smuggling. The early 1890s were spent working for the Union Pacific Railroad Company along with the Pullman Car Company. In 1894 Milton would become the Chief of Police in El Paso TX which at the time was rife with murder robbery and other violent crimes.

VERY RARE NEW ORLEANS SHIPPED BLACK POWDER

Lot #4214 (Sale Order 216 of 701)

FRAME 3 1/2" SHERIFF'S MODEL SAA REVOLVER IN 41 COLT WITH FACTORY LETTER. Cal 41 Colt. S 183449. Bbl. 3 1/2" with blade front sight. With an estimated total production of approx. 1000 Sheriff's models these revolvers are considered very rare desirable. "Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Vol. I" By Keith Cochran estimates that of the total production of Sheriff's models a mere 305 were manufactured with 3 1/2" bbls. Additionally Cochran estimates that the total production of Sheriff's Models chambered in 41 Colt accounted for approx. 3.25 of the total 32 Revolvers. "THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY 1873-1895" by Don Wilkerson Carol Wilkerson Colt Historian Kathleen Hoyt lists on page 350 that from serial numbers 1-164100 just 33 ejectorless SAAs were found to have been manufactured in 41 Colt and those the number manufactured as blue with a 3 1/2" bbl. was only TWO Second style black powder frame. Though research would have S 183449 listed as 1899 mfg it is noted in "A STUDY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER" by Graham Kopec Moore on page 69 "It has been observed that in the regular Single Action production the spring loaded cylinder pin release catch occurs near the 165000 SNR. However with Storekeeper's Model production it is noted that some revolvers in the 183000 range and possibly higher retain the old style cylinder pin screw of the blackpowder frame. This is due no doubt to the aforementioned practice of over-producing a number of frames for stockpiling. Black powder frame Sheriff's models were still being assembled and shipped from the factory in 1899. This is three full years and approximately 18000 revolvers after the production of all standard Single Actions had changed over to the cylinder pin release catch. Blued grip frame 6 shot fluted cyl. bbl. Case hardened frame hammer. 2 line patent date. 2 line bbl. address. Left side of bbl. marked "41 Colt" Bottom of bbl stamped with small "41" 2 Piece checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt grips.

THOMAS HAAS RAMPANT COLT LIMITED EDITION CASTING.

Lot #4263 (Sale Order 265 of 701)

In 1855 a unique sculptured lead pattern of the rampant colt was produced as a benchmark reference for the rampant colt trademark. The book "The Rampant Colt" by R. L. Wilson tells the story of this iconic trademark. For years the sculpture was stored in the Colt Armory attic before it eventually left the company's possession. In 1968 Mr. Thomas Haas purchased this historic sculpture. Several prominent collectors asked Mr. Haas to cast a limited number of rampant colts from the original pattern. A total of 100 numbered bronze rampant colts were cast in the pattern of the original. The colt is 19" high 20" long standing on a cast bronze base. Brass presentation plate marked "The Rampant Colt. 16 of One Hundred". Issue price in 1969 was 1500. WEIGHT: approx. 45 lbs. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a copy of "The Rampant Colt. by R. L. Wilson". Chapter VI discusses the history of the original lead pattern the scarce castings. CONDITION: fine. The cast base shows some age-related green verdigris. 02-21325/DS. NON-GUN. 8000-12000.

J.W. COCHRAN PATENT STYLE MODEL REVOLVING TURRET

Lot #4268 (Sale Order 270 of 701)

CANNON. PATENT MODEL OR DISPLAY PIECE Cal. 52. NSN. In 1834 John Webster Cochran of Enfield NH patented a repeating cannon or firearm that utilized a revolving horizontal turret to fire multiple shots. The story is that the next year he demonstrated a model to many possible European buyers. The Turkish minister was impressed and persuaded Cochran to exhibit his cannon to the Sultan who had Cochran build a full-size 12-pounder. After being rewarded by the Sultan he returned to America and worked with the C.B. Allen factory to build the now quite rare turret rifle and pistol. Cochran went on to patent many other firearm-related inventions. Is this firing model cannon the one originally built and exhibited by Cochran It has a 6" smooth bore barrel that is fed by a 5 1/2" diameter six-shot turret. Each chamber would be muzzle-loaded and fired by percussion caps. The hammer is mounted on top. Although the mechanism is not complete it appears that turning a crank at the rear causes the turret to rotate and somehow trip the hammer. The horizontal field of fire is set by a lever that engages a rack under the turret. Elevation is controlled by a brass knob on the trail. Cannon shows very fine workmanship with cast and machined parts. Other parts are hand-forged. CONDITION: cannon presently does not fire. All the metal is dark brown patina but the carriage and wheels show a considerable amount of original gray paint. An intriguing small cannon worthy of considerable further study. The consignor states that this very cannon is pictured in the "Stagecoach Museum Gun Collection" catalog on page 204. 01-24663/MGM. ANTIQUE. 2000-3000.

The nose cap is accented with a fine platinum line around the top and rear edges and includes a matching foliate motif engraving. The initials are verified as being that of Fred Eugene Veness with a notarized letter dated Dec. 12th 2003 from his grandson John A Veness. John states in the letter that the rifle had been a family heirloom passed down to him and was originally delivered from the factory to his grandfather in 1906. The Veness family was involved in the lumber business as both a lumber company and a holding company for lumber companies in Winlock WA from approximately 1890 until 1931. Family lore indicated it was a gift to Fred for financing a mill in Winlock. In 1997 the grandson displayed the firearm at the Marlin Firearms Collectors Association booth at the NRA meeting where it then received the silver award for one of the top 10 best firearms at the show. The letter indicates that the grandson sold the rifle to Bennett Auslaender in late 2000 who retained the rifle until it was sold to collector Frank Kelly in 2005. The wonderful attention to detail that was given to the metal extends to the stock set with a highly figured burl and shell grained American walnut featuring a serpentine grip cut with a 10 checkering pattern and terminated with a hard rubber Marlin factory buttplate. The last three digits of the serial number is marked on both the upper tang under the wood and the top tang channel of the stock.

“THE HIGHLAND KICKER” A UNIQUE PRESENTATION

Lot #4296 (Sale Order 298 of 701)

ENGRAVED DELUXE MARLIN 1881 RIFLE INSCRIBED TO W. SCOTT JR. IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. Cal. 45-70 Govt. S# 17132. There is not a lot of information regarding W. Scott Jr., however accounts from people that were familiar with this rifle have indicated it is referring to a gentleman from NY who reportedly had an association with early foot fighting. This appears to be a reference to Savate or Chausson the predecessor to modern French kickboxing that was quite popular in the late 1800’s. Whoever Mr. Scott may have been his rifle will leave a mark that may have rivaled one of the fierce highland kicks referenced in the inscription with its beautiful deluxe configuration. It is fitted with a rare 24” octagonal barrel that is marked with a third variation address and carries a half magazine, semi buckhorn rear sight and German silver Rocky Mountain front sight. The attractively engraved non-rebated type two case colored frame was most likely engraved by master engraver Conrad Ulrich. The left side features a carefully stylized inscription to “W. Scott Jr.” within an oval vignette surrounded with foliate arabesque shapes within a line border and accented with heart decorations. The right side bears the inscription “The Highland Kicker” within its own vignette and engraved en suite with the reverse. The top tang, bottom of the receiver, as well as, the top is also engraved. The figured European walnut buttstock with serpentine pistol grip is checkered in the early B pattern with matching forearm and terminated with a smooth steel semi crescent buttplate. The rifle is all matching with numbers on the inside of the buttplate, buttstock on the forward face, the lower tang, & the upper tang. The Cody Firearms Museum confirms the following information “Model 1881 / 45/70 / 24-inch barrel / Pistol grip / 1/2 magazine/ Shipped from the warehouse July 5 , 1887” Marlin records do not usually list wood, engraving or inscriptions. In addition, it appears from a copy of the ledger book that accompanies the Highland Kicker there is a second rifle which carries a factory duplicated serial number. A second Cody letter that is also included indicates that the gun with the duplicated serial number carries a 32” barrel, single trigger and shipped May 9, 1887. Extremely few Marlin 1881 rifles were ever inscribed making this an incredibly rare rifle in a scarce deluxe configuration, with a popular caliber, and an interesting association with an early form of kickboxing. CONDITION: Remaining in wonderful condition with the barrel retaining 96-98% strong blue with some light edge wear. The magazine tube has similar coverage with some mild fading, a small spot of roughness and a few mild handling marks. The action has very nice 90-95% coverage of the original case colors that have lightly faded and the fire blue finished loading gate is bright and in great condition. The buttplate finish has faded almost entirely, but remains unmarred. The stock set still has great coverage of the original finish with some light wear to the checkering, a few small chips behind the top tang and some minor handling marks. The bore is very bright with sound sharp rifling. PROVENANCE: William Blount Collection of Extraordinary Marlins. (01-25284/ZAL). ANTIQUE.. $45,000- 65,000

This rifle is featured on page 174 of Brophy’s “Marlin Firearms”. The caption for this rifle reads “only 28 of this model are recorded as having the takedown feature”.

According to Brophy about 28 of the 1889 were chambered in 32-20 the majority were octagonal barrels with part octagon being the “scarcest variation”. The combination of these features on one rifle is truly remarkable. The rifle is accompanied by a factory record letter from Cody Firearms Museum listing. “Model 1889 / 32 Caliber / 24 inch 1/2 octagonal / 1/2 magazine / Pistol grip / Takedown / Shipped form the company on May 15 1895” UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Cody Letter.

2 SEALED BOXES OF VERY RARE AND DESIRABLE MARTIN

Lot #4572 (Sale Order 581 of 701)

PRIMED CARTRIDGES FOR SW ARMY REVOLVER. These unopened boxes each contain 12 "Martin" cartridges. The cartridges were developed for use in the Smith Wesson No. 3 revolvers which became very popular and were used by such notable Western personalities as Wyatt Earp "Buffalo Bill" Cody. These early cartridges are copper cased use the Martin patented internal priming system. The priming is internal and the cartridge case appears to be a rimfire rather than a center fire. This system did not allow for reloading a fired case as was done by the U.S. Military and by civilian users. It was shortly replaced by the Berdan Boxer priming systems used today. The tan cartridge boxes measuring approx. 3" X 1 1/2" X 1" retain their pull string openers. The boxes have clear legible markings on top. One box is marked: "12 "MARTIN" Cartridges for Smith Wesson's Army Revolver Calibre .44: Power 25 grains. Bullet 225 grains. FRANKFORD ARSENAL PA. JUNE 1871. Patented March 28 1869 February 141871". The Second box is marked similarly except for having "National Armory Springfield Mass. APRIL 1871" in place of "Frankford Arsenal ...". CONDITION: the cartridges were unable to be examined due to the sealed condition of the boxes. The boxes are professionally shrink wrapped but have a very high condition legible markings. There are sm. scattered stains expected on cartridge boxes of this vintage. PROVENANCE: The Collection of Edward Scott Meadows. 02-22103/RW. 1000-1500.

This special dinner where Buffalo Bill several Native Americans are seated at long table against wall took place at the New York City restaurant Sherry's to honor him while he was putting on show at the New York Hippodrome. Over 100 people attended including President Taft numerous military officers and Frederic Remington. At the dinner Cody proposed a giant Native American statue a "National American Indian Memorial" that would be set on the shore of New York Harbor. He suggested that it would be "as large" as the Statue of Liberty and would serve to welcome "everyone to this shore". Many guests at the dinner party enthusiastically supported the idea with General Nelson Miles saying he was "gratified that there is now a feeling of generosity and respect towards the departing race". Many Americans viewed it as "a celebration of victory" over Native Americans while others considered it "a constant reminder of the vanishing race to whom we are indebted for the great free gift of a continent" and some thought the monument would memorialize admirable qualities attributed to Natives and serve as a "lasting beacon of American ideals". John Burke who managed Cody announced that America owed "at least an apology for the exigencies of civilized man and his cupidity in appropriating the red man's land" though he later clarified that "of course it was all done in the name of progress and God had foreordained that it should be so but let us build this monument as a lasting tribute to a dying race and to the genius of the man who suggested it". 4 years of raising money and breaking ground it was never built. 2 11" x 9" exposed vignette image of Buffalo Bill Cody in contemporary frame.

Early morning April 19 1909 citizens who paid a visit to the Frisco barn in downtown Ada Oklahoma encountered a shocking scene—four men hanging from the rafters. In late March and early April authorities had arrested the four men including assassin Jim Miller for the brutal shotgun killing of Allen Augustus "Gus" Bobbitt a popular rancher and former deputy U.S. marshal. Bobbitt had been an exceptional officer—the right hand of U.S. District Attorney Andrew Cavitt "A.C." Cruce—and a crusader against crime. Testimony given at Miller's preliminary hearing a few days earlier had strongly implicated him and the other three men. The criminal justice system at the time was shaky. Untold vigilantes lynched the 4 justice had been served—frontier style. CONDITION: fair chipped edges light faded.
