Colt Model 1883 Burgess Lever Action Rifle
Lot #2034 (Sale Order 35 of 1191)
Scarce Colt Model 1883 Burgess Lever Action Rifle
This model is famous as Colt's only attempt to compete head to head with Winchester in the lever action rifle market, but that competition was quickly cut short after less then two years of production, reportedly due to an agreement between Colt and Winchester to stay out of each other's respective markets. Colt may have also simply decided to focus their attention on their distinctive Lightning rifles. Regardless of the reasons, the Burgess was arguably superior to the contemporary Winchester Model 1866, 1873, and 1876 rifles; the action was shorter and more refined than the comparable Model 1873. A total of just 3,775 rifles were manufactured in 1883-1885, 2,556 with octagon barrels and 1,219 with round barrels. As a "working gun", these Colt lever actions saw hard use with this example in well above average condition. The barrel is fitted with a German silver blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight and is stamped with the two-line Colt Hartford address/patent dates marking ahead of the rear sight. The left side of the blued receiver is a stamped Rampant Colt trademark. "BURGESS'S PATENT" is stamped on the lever. The forearm and straight grip stock are walnut. The buttstock is fitted with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).
Class: Antique
Exceptionally fine with factory refurbished finish on the barrel and magazine tube, original finish and smooth brown patina on the balance, and minor wear. The wood is excellent with a couple slight stress lines at the upper tang and some very scattered handling marks. Mechanically excellent. A solid representative example of the very desirable Colt Burgess lever action rifle.

Documented, Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle with Matted Barrel and Factory Letter
Manufactured in 1895 per Madis with several highly sought after special order features. The included January 25, 1984 dated factory letter states the rifle was received in the warehouse on January 18, 1897 and shipped the same day with a round matted barrel in .30 caliber, plain trigger, checkered pistol grip stock, hard rubber shotgun buttplate, half magazine (4 cartridges), casehardened frame, and oil finish stock. The letter also provided additional information that makes this deluxe '94 historically significant: A scan of the original Winchester Records for Model 1894 housed in our Museum was made by the undersigned and it was found that Model 1894, serial number 17841 was the second one manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. with the specifications of the original letter dated February 19, 1980 [not included]. Although serial numbers would indicate the second one manufactured, it was however, the first one to be shipped from the warehouse on January 18, 1897." The rifle is fitted with a Lyman blade front sight (bead absent), an elevation adjustable rear sight, and folding tang peep sight. As stated in the factory letter the barrel is matted, which is a very rare factory special order feature. As Winchester expert and author George Madis pointed out, "Matted barrels were produced in very limited numbers." The barrel is marked "30 W.C.F" on the left side at the breech and has the two-line Winchester legend marked in the matting ahead of the rear sight. The underside of the receiver has the serial number. The forearm and pistol grip stock are checkered deluxe XXX walnut. The buttstock has a Winchester hard rubber grip cap and shotgun buttplate. The left side of the lower tang is marked "3468 XXX SOPRB." The assembly number "3468" is repeated on the stock inlet that is also marked with the model designation ("94"). As "the ultimate lever gun" for over a century, the Winchester Model 1894 rifle holds a special place in the hearts of collectors. These "working guns" were not often ordered with special, extra cost features, making deluxe variations highly sought after by collectors. This example has the added bonus of being the first of its type to leave the Winchester factory.

C Company U.S. Contract Colt Walker Percussion Revolver
Lot #2171 (Sale Order 172 of 1191)
Historic and Rare Documented Walker's C Company Marked U.S. Contract Colt Walker Model 1847 Percussion Revolver with Herb Glass Authentication Letter
This historic Colt Walker was manufactured in 1847 by the Whitneyville Armory and is one of 220 C Company marked Walker Model revolvers. It was originally intended for issue to Samuel Walker's own company in the U.S. Mounted Rifle Regiment. The C Company revolvers were the first produced and were shipped to the U.S. Army Depot at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in September 1847. On October 19, 1847, 214 C Company marked Walker Colt revolvers were issued to the First Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers commanded by Colonel John Coffee Hays. Known as "The Texas Devils," the Texas Mounted Volunteers used their Walker Colt revolvers in a number of actions against Mexican irregular forces operating between Mexico City and Vera Cruz. Of the 394 Walker revolvers issued to the Texas Mounted Volunteers only 191 revolvers (of which 82 were serviceable) were turned in at the Vera Cruz Depot when the regiment was mustered out of federal service on May 8, 1848. The serviceable revolvers were sent to the Baton Rouge Arsenal where they were subsequently issued to Texas Rangers and the 2nd Dragoon Regiment. All of the C Company Walker revolvers saw hard service in Mexico and on the Texas frontier. This revolver is one of the 38 surviving C Company Walker revolvers listed on page 80 of "The Colt Whitneyville Walker Pistol" by Lt. Col. Robert Whittington. The top of the barrel has a German silver blade front sight and "ADDRESS SAML COLT NEWYORK CITY" reading from the breech towards the muzzle. The left side of the barrel and frame have "C COMPANY NO 172" and the same is repeated on the butt. The trigger guard has "C COM-Y No 172". "172" is stamped between the frame pins and on the side of the front strap. The cylinder has the original number "100". The grip is noted as having their original number "167" indicating they came from another original Walker in the period of use. The included letter from 2024 Herb Glass states "this gun to be a genuine Colt Walker" and subsequently details the restoration work on this revolver after 1951.
Class: Antique
Good as a genuine Colt Walker that has been restored, including re-crowned barrel (not stretched per Herb Glass' inspection), recut markings, a replacement loading lever, a replacement wedge, replacement of the front section of the cylinder pin, and replacement internal parts. The iron surfaces display gray and brown patina, moderate pitting, some chipped original nipples, and general moderate to heavy overall wear as expected on a Walker. The trigger guard has attractively aged patina and mild scrapes and dings. The period replacement grips are also good and were noted as having no repairs and have mild scratches and dings and small chips at the heel and toe and five "kill notches" on the long the right rear edge. Mechanically fine. This historic revolver most likely saw action with the Teas Mounted Volunteers led by Colonel John Coffee Hays during the Mexican-American War and is a rare representative example of the iconic Colt Walker. The proceeds from the sale of this item will go to funding scholarships and to the general fund for special projects at Highlands College, Birmingham AL.

Lot #2175 (Sale Order 176 of 1191)

Ramsay at the Washington Arsenal in Washington, D.C., on August 29, 1862, and that the records do not indicate this revolver left the factory engraved. It was subsequently professionally engraved in the iconic "Gustave Young" style and had "E" markings spuriously added by the main serial numbers in imitation of the markings used by the factory on engraved revolvers. It was also fitted with a special order type smooth grip. The engraving patterns are primarily scrollwork with floral accents, beaded backgrounds, a finely detailed eagle's head above the wedge on the left similar to the eagle head designs on revolvers attributed to Colt factory engraver Georg Sterzing, and the classic dog/wolf head on the hammer.
Class: Antique
Very good as non-factory custom engraved with traces of original finish, smooth gray and brown patina, crisp engraving, and mild wear. The grip is also very good and has attractive aged tones, some age stress cracks, and light wear. Mechanically fine.
