Lot #1235 (Sale Order 103 of 519)

Smith & Wesson developed a light intermediate rifle chambered in 9mm Parabellum for Britain, who were in dire need of small arms. The 1940 trials proved unsuccessful, stress cracks developing in some receivers after just 1000 rounds of hotly loaded ammunition. Although a reinforced Mark II was built, Britain ended the program and destroyed the weapons. American interest also proved limited due to the nonstandard 9mm chambering. Smith & Wesson retained a small portion rifles produced but did not initially sell them on the civilian market due to their then NFA short barrel status. In 1975 the surviving 137 MK I and 80 MK II rifles were exempted from NFA regulation and sold to collectors. This very fine and scarce MK I remains in its original configuration with blued finish throughout. Standard fluted 9 - 3/4" barrel with blade front sight and adjustable square notch rear sight. Pistol grip stock is black composite with a blued serrated steel butt plate. Unlike most examples, no warning plaque appears to have been mounted on the stock. Rifle is accompanied by a Roy Jinks factory letter, original leather sling, 5 total magazines 4 of which are in their original cardboard, and a barrel wrench. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the original factory blue is displayed throughout with some loss on the charging handle and other scattered marks. Some light oxidation spots present on the magazine and base of the magazine housing. Stock rates excellent. Mirror bore. Fine mechanics. A very rare and interesting WWII experimental rifle. Accessories: 4 extra magazines, wrench Barrel Length: 9 - 3/4" Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Model: M1940 Light Rifle Paperwork: Smith & Wesson letter Serial Number: 867

(C) RARE SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1940 MKII SEMI-AUTOMATIC LIGHT RIFLE.

Lot #1236 (Sale Order 104 of 519)

In 1939 Britain contracted with Smith & Wesson to develop a light rifle chambered in 9mm Parabellum as an intermediary between their handguns and full size .303 arms. Trials began in 1940 with little success as after only 1,000 rounds of the hotly loaded English ammunition, stress cracks formed in some of the receivers. A Mark II was developed with a reinforced receiver and 200 were produced to little avail, with Britain ending the program and destroying their stocks of the innovative rifles. American interest also proved limited due to the nonstandard 9mm chambering. Smith & Wesson retained a small portion rifles produced but did not initially sell them on the civilian market due to their then NFA short barrel status. In 1975 the surviving 137 MK I and 80 MK II rifles were exempted from NFA regulation and sold to collectors. This very fine and scarce MK II remains in its original configuration with blued finish throughout. Standard fluted 9 - 3/4" barrel with blade front sight and adjustable square notch rear sight. Pistol grip stock is black composite with a blued serrated steel butt plate. Unlike most examples, no warning plaque appears to have been mounted on the stock. Rifle is accompanied by a Roy Jinks factory letter, manual, original leather sling, 5 total magazines 3 of which are in their original cardboard, and a barrel wrench. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the original factory blue is displayed throughout with minor handling marks. Some light oxidation spotting also present in the barrel flutes.

(A) RARE U.S. SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1871 WARD BURTON CARBINE

Lot #1250 (Sale Order 118 of 519)

This firearm has the distinction of being one of the first cartridge bolt actions issued by the US Government but proved so unpopular that only 316 were ever made. Despite its lack of production, it played an important part in American History as well. The famous Yellowstone Expedition of 1873 was deployed to survey a route for the Northern Pacific Railroad along the Yellowstone river through the Dakota and Montana territories. The commander of this group was Colonel David S. Stanley but his second in command was none other than George Armstrong Custer. Their survey took them through the land belonging to the Lakota Sioux whose famous leaders included Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Rain in the Face. It is ironic that Custer survived this expedition only to die at the hands of these three Sioux chiefs less than three years later. George's brother Thomas was among the Yellowstone group of 7th Cavalry officers to be killed at the Bighorn. This bolt action single shot carbine is stamped US SPRINGFIELD 1871 on left side of frame. Top of bolt has the Ward Burton 1871 patent legend. There is no visible sign of the ESA Erskine Allen cartouche on left side of walnut stock. These carbines were chambered for the 50-70 cartridge, featured one barrel band, a folding ladder rear sight and carbine metal butt plate. None bore any serial numbers. CONDITION: Very good. All metal is a grey patina with scattered salt and pepper texture and some age freckling. Stock is very good with usual assorted dings and bruises and one hair line in loading groove of stock. Does have some added finish. All legends are sharp. Action works fine. Bore is sharp with some abrasion and light pitting. This carbine played an important part in the American expansion west.

Lot #1255 (Sale Order 123 of 519)

Bob Hope was as famous for his front line USO tours beginning during the Second World War and through the Viet Nam war era as he was for his movies. These dangerous tours to the front made him one of the most beloved Hollywood stars of all time.

As per the included copy of a Colt letter, this pistol was shipped as part of a shipment of 2,500 on March 31st, 1916, directly to the Russian Government. These pistols were produced in 2 distinct variations, one as standard Government Models, and the other with special Cyrillic markings on the dust cover that translate to "English Make"; those marks typically appear on numbers above 50,000, and are not present on this gun. These rare guns were shipped into Murmansk and Archangel before distribution to Russian forces; beyond that little of their history is known, however, there is one account that a 1911 was used to kill the Romanovs. Standard configuration parts include half-moon front sight, U-notch rear sight, 2 line 2 block patent and address information on left side of slide, with uncircled Rampant Colt at the rear of the slide, right side with Colt caliber information.

Typical takedown mark and pings around slide release from improper installation. Appropriate distension around proofs from application of stamp. Straps have thinning and silvering throughout, consistent with the heavy use these pistols underwent. Grips appear to be period replacements. Mechanically fine, excepting occasional tendency to hammer follow, bore is excellent with strong rifling and some mild frosting. No import mark observed. This is a very good example of a very scarce pistol.

(C) SCARCE FIRST FULL YEAR OF PRODUCTION KONGSBERG MODEL 1914 DATED 1918 SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL.

Lot #1257 (Sale Order 125 of 519)

At the turn of the century, Norway was experimenting with the adoption of a new pistol for their army, and found that the Colt 1911 in .38 was an ideal weapon for them, purchasing 25 through Colt's London Agency for troop trials in 1911. In the same year, Colonel Krag returned and informed them that the US had adopted the guns in .45 ACP, causing them to pause the adoption of the .38s while experimenting with the .45s. In 1914 they redid the tests, and on September 24th, 1914, the Norwegian Minister of Defense officially adopted the pistol for Army and Navy use. They negotiated for the rights for domestic production, and produced the first 95 pistols in December 1917. This example, serial number 500, is one of the guns made during the first full year of production with classic Norwegian features such as the distinct extended and dropped slide release, numbered parts throughout, and a 1918 date on right side of frame over an "A" inspection mark for Halvdan Alstad. Matching numbers observed on interior of slide, firing pin retaining plate, left side of slide, recoil guide rod, bushing, barrel (which also has an A inspection), left side of frame, reverse of magazine release, trigger, thumb safety, ejector, grip safety, and mainspring housing.

(C) OUTSTANDING AND RARE INLAND T3 SNIPER CARBINE WITH M2 INFRARED NIGHT VISION SCOPE.

Lot #1275 (Sale Order 143 of 519)

An initial research and development contract for 1700 T3 carbines specially fitted with the newly developed M1 infrared scopes was awarded in 1944. Rather than a standard rear sight, the "T3" marked receiver has an integral scope mount. These first contract Inland T3 carbines were intentionally and specifically designed as a platform for a total of what became only 715 M1 Sniperscopes ever produced. Only around 750-800 T3’s were likely produced as part of the initial contract. Most were immediately sent overseas mounted under their Sniperscopes with reportedly at least 554 used during the invasion of Okinawa. After the war nearly all of the receivers of the T3 carbines were cut in half making surviving examples extremely scarce. Uncut unwelded T3 receivers, such as this one, now being the rarest of all. This outstanding early T3 bearing serial number "0108" was manufactured in 1944 and like most first contract guns are fitted with a "3-44" dated Inland barrel. This mount sports an excellent 1945 contract early M2 Sniperscope with reproduction battery box. Although the data plate has been removed its features confirm its WWII vintage. Consignor states that this unit still functions; however, we have not tested it ourselves. The carbine is correctly fitted with a special made “IO” stock to mount the infrared lamp and pistol grip switch. “HI" 4 rivet Hand-guard. Inland trigger group with push button safety, "M" marked magazine catch, and blued flat bolt. Complete with an "IA" 15-round magazine, oiler, green woven sling, and "N-717" stamped green canvas carry case fitted for a T3 carbine with infrared scope. The carbine and scope are pictured on pages 1071-1073 of Larry Ruth's "War Baby III". CONDITION: Excellent for its age. Carbine retains nearly all of its parkerized finish with only light wear. Wood likewise has only minor handling marks. Very fine barrel. ME measures 1. Fine mechanics. Scope and lamp have some light finish scuff and other marks but also rate near excellent. An outstanding example of an exceedingly scarce and historic WWII small arm. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection Accessories: Scope.

(C) RARE EXPERIMENTAL WINCHESTER T3 SNIPER CARBINE WITH M73B1 SCOPE.

Lot #1276 (Sale Order 144 of 519)

After viewing lnland's production of the T3 Carbine in March 1945, Winchester began experimenting and slightly modified the design. Winchester began production in the summer, although only 1,108 were completed before war's end. According to factory research, the serial number was applied to this very rare example on August 10, 1945, the day after the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki and just 4 days before Japanese surrender. This especially unusual example, which reportedly came from the Aberdeen Proving Ground, is fitted with an unmarked barrel with an approximately 3 - 1/4" unrifled extension added to the muzzle with no provision for a front sight. A military EI Paso Weaver M73B1 scope with duplex reticle and rubber eye piece is mounted to the receiver base. Scope is serial numbered in electro pencil "29426". Mixed late pattern internals including round bolt and flip safety. Walnut low wood stock marked with a "W" in the sling well and crossed cannons cartouche on the right. 2-rivet hand guard retained by a type 1 flat band. Documented experimentation was done at Aberdeen with similar M73B1 scoped T3 carbines with unsatisfactory results, as the spent casings struck the scope as they ejected. This carbine is pictured on pages 1074-1076 of Larry Ruth's "War Baby III". CONDITION: Very good overall. Nearly all of the original parkerized finish is retained with only light wear. Stock and hand guard have some scattered dings and impressions. Very good, crisp and bright bore. Fine mechanics. Lightly clouded optics. Very few T3s survived post war rebuilds, making this experimental example extremely scarce and an excellent addition to any advanced collection.

Most all of the T3 receivers were cut in half once obsolete, making this an even rarer find. Rifle has a period EI Paso Weaver Model 298 scope. Flat bolt. Other parts consistent with other M1E6 barreled presentations, including a special checkered trigger, early serrated “W-I” magazine catch, and a checkered push button safety, combined with a mix of early and late Inland parts. Metal is finished in lustrous polished commercial blue. The "HI" low wood stock is finely figured and finished to a gloss. Gloss finished 4-rivet handguard retained by a "KI" type 2 band. Complete with C-tip sling. CONDITION: Excellent. Virtually all of the rich commercial blue is retained with only light evidence of the action being cycled. Wood is especially fine with a small area of wear from the sling buckle and other handling marks. Very fine bright and crisp bore. ME of 1. Fine mechanics. Very few T3 carbines survived post-War rebuilds, making them extremely scarce on the collector market, especially in nice condition. Presentation grade specimens are even scarcer. Larry Ruth identified this carbine as the only known example.

(C) ONLY KNOWN WWII PROTOTYPE GREBEY SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL.

Lot #1278 (Sale Order 146 of 519)

Born in 1900, George Grebey moved to New Haven, Connecticut, and was occupied as a tool maker, possibly with some association with Winchester; however, by the beginning of World War II, he was employed as a machinist at the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport, Rhode Island. The butt of this unusual prototype is hand-stamped "DESIGNED-MADE BY / GEORGE F. GREBEY / SEPT. 1 1943" and was likely built seeking a government contract for paratrooper or other special use. Remaining in the white and in an overall incomplete state, this gas operated handgun is chambered in .30 carbine and designed to use M1 carbine magazines. It is provided with simple iron sights: a tall blade front and a U-notch rear. The grips are 2-piece plain walnut. The pistol is housed in a period felt lined fitted wood case with various spare parts or tools. Also included are several of Grebey's blueprints for a long arm version, a file of research, and correspondence compiled by Larry Ruth. It is pictured on pages 1629 and 1630 of Ruth's "War Baby III". CONDITION: Very good overall, remaining bright with some minor cleaned pinprick oxidation. Grips show evidence of handling. The bolt was absent when the prototype was acquired. Case has expected wear but displays very well. A rare opportunity for the discerning 20th-century arms collector to acquire a well-known, one-of-a-kind WWII prototype pistol.

(C) HISTORIC ABERDEEN .22 SCHV TEST IBM M1 CARBINE WITH AMMO AND ACCESSORIES.

Lot #1279 (Sale Order 147 of 519)

In April of 1952 approval was given to a team under Gerald Gustafson at the Aberdeen Proving Ground to develop a small caliber, high velocity (SCHV) cartridge based on a shortened .222 Remington. Testing continued from 1952 to 1953 with favorable results for the new .22 Carbine cartridge. Although the cartridge was not adopted, the .22 Carbine tests were very influential on Eugene Stoner during his development of the 5.56mm round utilized in the M16 rifle. This historically significant test carbine is one of only five made by Aberdeen. The barrel is marked "11 Aug 53 / A.P.G." and is threaded for a muzzle brake. In total 8 of the various experimental muzzle brakes are included with this lot. Carbine is fitted with a tall front sight blade and standard "H" marked adjustable aperture rear sight. IBM receiver with mixed rebuilt internals including round bolt and flip type safety. It feeds from modified 15-round magazines, 2 of which are included, each with some period white identifier paint added to the toe. M2 cut walnut stock and 4 rivet hand-guard retained by a bayonet lug band. A modified BAR bipod was also mounted for the tests. Importantly, this lot also includes 2 50-round boxes of the test ammunition labeled "CALIBER .22 CARBINE", one still sealed and the other containing 9 loose rounds. Includes photocopies of the Aberdeen reports and test results. The gun and ammunition are pictured on pages 1288 and 1289 of Larry Ruth's "War Baby III". CONDITION: Very good as arsenal rebuilt and modified. The vast majority of the arsenal finishes are retained with some moderate wear. Stocks likewise rate very good with handling marks.

(M) LOT OF DOCUMENTED GEORGE INGRAM PROTOTYPE MODEL A POLICE RIFLES AND PARTS.

Lot #1281 (Sale Order 149 of 519)

George Ingram, famed inventor of the M10 submachine gun, began devising a multi-caliber weapons system based on the M1 carbine platform, building as few as 2 prototypes in the mid-70s dubbed the Police Rifle. These designs were eventually refined into the Western rifle designed for Greek military use, although few were produced. This lot includes 2 .223 barreled actions built by lngram, one built into a complete Model A Police rifle with his parts and a new made stock. Additional spare parts from lngram, as well as a partially completed stock, are included, which could possibly be used to build the second prototype. The completed carbine features a blued barrel with gold bead blade front sight and peep rear fixed to a custom lengthened receiver and bolt. The 2-piece oiled walnut stock is mounted with a single barrel band and flat steel butt plate replicates lngram's plans exactly. It will accept AR-15 magazines, but absent a provision to lock the magazine in place. Included with the prototype components are numerous technical drawings, including some done in pencil by Ingram, and other documentation, research, and correspondence. The components and documents were acquired from lngram's estate by Kirk Kellogg, who passed them along to Larry Ruth around 2007. The completed prototype is pictured on page 1477 of Ruth's "War Baby III" and described on the following few pages. CONDITION: Very good. The completed carbine rates very good. Nearly all of the polished blue finish is retained on the barrel. Other components show some handling and age as assembled. Stock is excellent. Fine bore.

(C) VERY RARE PROTOTYPE STEEL STOCKED INLAND/NATIONAL POSTAL METER TOOL ROOM M1 CARBINE.

Lot #1284 (Sale Order 152 of 519)

Assembled by Larry Ruth with an assortment of scarce parts, this carbine is built on what appears to be an early National Postal Meter tool room receiver provided by Inland to NPM as they started production, as is designated by a small "P" on the receiver ring as well as its lack of a serial number. Import marked "12-42" dated Rock-Ola barrel with milled front sight and adjustable rear sight. Flat bolt. Mixed internals with a flip safety and "CC / M" magazine catch. Commercial perforated aluminum hand guard retained by a type 2 band. Most importantly this carbine features an extremely rare prototype all steel stock. A shortage of suitable walnut for gunstocks during the Korean War forced Springfield Armory to seek alternatives, including testing 4 steel carbine stocks in 1952. Likely fabricated by the Higgins Pressed Steel Company, this prototype was discovered by Larry, along with a prototype M2 stock at a Pasadena gun shop in the 1970s. Constructed of stamped 20-gauge soft stamped steel, it features an integral front band spring, oiler clip, rear sling bar, and welded butt plate. The assembled carbine is featured on page 1285 of Ruth's "War Baby III", the stock also pictured on 1096 and 1284. CONDITION: Good as assembled. Barrel has largely faded to patina, the receiver retaining the majority of its original finish with some expected wear. Stock displays an honest blended brown patina. Very good bright bore. ME of 4.

LOT OF 3: HISTORIC GARAND LIGHT RIFLE TECHNICAL DRAWING AND PROTOTYPE PARTS FROM THE PERSONAL COLLEC

Lot #1287 (Sale Order 155 of 519)

There is perhaps no firearms designer so synonymous with World War II than John Garand, whose M1 Garand rifle was fielded en masse by American forces and contributed greatly to Allied victory. His genius continued into the American light rifle trials in 1941, developing 2 generations of innovative prototypes for Springfield Armory. Garand's two designs were not selected. This lot includes several important relics from Garand's trial carbines, the first are parts from the light rifle prototype: a crinkle painted butt plate and the parkerized rear sight aperture. Lot also includes an original technical drawing of the second prototype carbine cut away from the side view to display the internals. Drawing is unsigned but does appear to be an original draft. Measures approximately 24 - 1/2" x 42". Drawing and parts were obtained from the estate of John Garand after his passing and are documented by included 2003 dated certificates of authenticity signed by Richard Garand and Scott Duff. Photocopies of the light rifle patents as well as a photograph of John Garand are also included. CONDITION: Good. Drawing has an overall cream color with areas of discoloration and staining, as well as a few minor perforations and edgewear. Butt plate retains nearly all of its painted black crinkle finish with a few minor oxidation spots. Sight is likewise fine. An outstanding opportunity to acquire tangible remnants of John Garand's design genius that would make a very attractive display. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection Paperwork: COAs, Info

(A) HISTORIC CASED COLT NO. 3 PATERSON BELT MODEL PERCUSSION REVOLVER PRESENTED TO WILLIAM WATSON WI

Lot #1292 (Sale Order 160 of 519)

Numbered in the same range, only approximately 850 No. 2 and No. 3 Belt Model revolvers are believed to have been manufactured by Samuel Colt's Patent Arms Manufacturing Co. of Paterson, New Jersey, circa 1837 to 1840. This particularly extraordinary specimen of a No. 3 is accompanied by an extremely scarce, original, presentation case and accoutrements. The blued 5 - 1/2" octagon barrel is roll stamped on the top flat "Patent Arms M'g Co Paterson N-J Colt's Pt" between a pair of small bowtie motifs. .31 caliber bore with 11 groove rifling. Front sight is a small German silver blade. Hammer notch rear sight. The 5-shot rounded shoulder cylinder displays a crisp and largely legible rolled cylinder scene featuring the "COLT" horse head trademark, as well as a pair of centaurs armed with a Colt rifle and revolvers engaged in combat with horsemen and foot soldiers. Polished blue frame with solid recoil shield and folding trigger. The 1-piece smooth varnished walnut grips are flared at the base and numbered to the gun. Revolver is housed in a correct beveled lid varnished mahogany presentation case lined in brown crushed velvet and complete with original accountments. A matching spare cylinder is secured by a dowel in the upper right corner. To the left of the revolver, retained by iron mounts, are an iron single cavity round ball mold with 3 walnut handles, Paterson combination tool (screwdriver, ball starter, nipple wrench, and pick), and threaded wiping rod with turned walnut handle. The first pattern bass capper is embossed around the lid edge "COLT'S PATENT / PATENT ARMS M(?)NG CO PATERSON. N.J." between rings with a central rampant Colt motif and a pair of crossed Paterson revolvers. Complete with a correct 5 - 1/2" long No. 3 cylinder charger, with gold plated knurled bands at each end and a central band marked in script "Patent Arms M'g. Co. Paterson N.J. - Colt's Pt.". Importantly, this cased set features an inlaid presentation plaque on the lid, inscribed in fine script "W. Watson / from A. P.". Inscription is well executed and appears original. It compares favorably with another known cased presentation, No. 3 serial number 24, which appears to be done in the same hand. "W. Watson" is widely attributed to William Watson, a New York City attorney who is documented as representing Samuel Colt in disputes with Patent Arms Mfg. Co. treasurer and majority shareholder John Ehlers. By 1841, the fledgling company was financially insecure and Samuel Colt likewise, requesting personal funds from Ehlers to continue trying to secure a government contract in Washington DC. Although the New Jersey contract for 100 carbines was eventually secured, the funds needed for Colt's rent were not. William Watson was authorized to collect this sum of $100, with Samuel Colt advising that he bring a witness along as Ehlers "may turn out a rogue". Further research suggests the "A.P." who presented this revolver to Watson is Andrew Parsons, a minority shareholder in the P. A. Mfg. Co., owning 10 shares of the company as is recorded on an August 1837 list. Parsons was an influential New Jersey politician who represented Passaic County, home of Colt's Paterson factory, in the Upper House of the New Jersey Legislature. He served back to back terms as Vice President of the Council of the New Jersey Legislature in 1837 and 1838, next in line to fill a vacancy in the Governor's mansion. Although Parsons and Watson are both associated with Colt, the exact reason for the presentation of this revolver is unknown. In an included 25-page letter by R.L. Wilson detailing this gun, it is speculated Parsons may have presented the gun to Watson on behalf of Colt, perhaps as payment or to secure loyalty. Presentation revolvers remained an important part of Colt's marketing into the Hartford years and, at the time, Ehler's was cracking down on trials and loan guns due to the company's financial woes. Or perhaps, Parson, being a stockholder, may have presented the gun in appreciation of Watson's assistance to Colt in moving the company in a direction he found favorable. PROVENANCE: From the personal and advanced collection of Dr. Jim Watson of Scottsdale, Arizona. CONDITION: Very fine overall. Significant portions of original blue are retained on the barrel, largely drifting to pleasing brown patina. Both cylinders show evidence of use with some fulminate pitting on the rear faces and nipples. Cylinder scenes remain strong and largely legible. Frame and grip straps display approximately 60% bright blue. Some light pitting present on the recoil shield, with heavier pitting present on the hammer channel and sides of the hammer covered by the recoil shield when uncocked. Grip is fine, the left side retaining approximately 90% original finish. Right side retains approximately 50% varnish, having sat in contact with the case liner for 180 years. Bore is dark with strong, well-defined rifling. Mechanics are crisp. Matching numbers present on the barrel

(A) VERY RARE CASED CONSECUTIVE PAIR OF MARTIAL COLT 1860 ARMY REVOLVERS WITH MATCHING CANTEEN STOCK

Lot #1294 (Sale Order 162 of 519)

According to the factory letter, serial number 22503 was part of a 1000 gun shipment to the War Department and shipped to Captain Crispin at #55 White Street in NYC on March 1, 1862. During the Civil War Colonel Crispin served for some time on the staff of Major-General George B. McClellan, and was also in charge of the New York Ordnance. He was promoted to captain of ordnance, 3 August 1861, and in that grade served through the civil war. We must assume that number 22502 was part of that 1000 gun shipment. As head of ordnance, he had access to any guns he wanted. Both are early four screw models, cut for stock with brass trigger guards, iron strap, one piece walnut grips, fluted cylinder with roll engraved Naval battle scene. Both have the one line barrel legend with COLT'S PATENT on left side of frame. Number 22502 has all matching numbers including the wedge. The left grip panel has a visible but legible cartouche. You will find the martial inspector marks as follows; C-on left barrel, L-on right barrel, B-L on cylinder, T-top back strap. CONDITION: No original finish, now a smooth brown patina. All legends are sound. The Naval scene is partially visible. Safety pins are flat. Brass has turned almost black. Grips show some dings but are a nice fit with minor front toe chip on both sides. Action indexes correctly with strong half cock. Very nice homogenous gun. Gun number 22503 has all matching numbers to include the post. This gun has .44 CAL on left side rear trigger guard. The only inspector stamps are the letter "O near serial number on barrel, frame and trigger guard. No visible cartouche on left grip. It is in nearly identical condition with strong legends but the spring is missing from wedge and the Naval scene is barely visible. The grips have less empty space at toes. It too has a fine action with strong half cock. Bores on both guns are strong but have residue. The bottom of the canteen stock has both numbers in the same font. All the hardware is brass. There is an iron saddle ring at base. The vise is iron. The canteen stock is walnut with iron cap and small chain. The top of the stock has a crack running the length as well as one on the base. The brass butt plate also has the same two number stamps and similar fonts. There is a visible cartouche on left side but not legible. Aside from crack, the stock has very few impressions. The brass has turned as dark as that found on revolvers. The two cavity .44 bullet mold is stamped Colt's Patent. An original brass powder flask with staff of arms is stamped COLT'S PATENT. The period wood display case is lined in faded and stained blue felt and comes with a 6 round envelop of 44-100 cartridges and a vintage Eley Bros Colt's Pistol cap partially full tin. We must assume that these guns came together in the same shipment but only one was designated to Crispin. Did he acquire the other and then cased them? The guns themselves have quite a few differences based on who inspected and stamped them. Comes with factory letter on gun number 22503 only.

(A) LOT OF 2: WHALING CAPTAIN ALBERT SHERMAN'S ENGRAVED SMITH & WESSON .44 DOUBLE ACTION AND .38 SAF

Lot #1313 (Sale Order 181 of 519)

This pair of engraved Smith & Wesson revolvers were the personal property of well known whaling captain Albert C. Sherman. He was a whaler originally based out of New Bedford Mass. He was born in Westport Mass. in 1849, first employed on whalers around 1870 and listed as "MASTER" IN 1884. We have a list of at least eight whaling ships that he captained beginning in the 1870's. His first two ships were the "HALE" and the "GEORGE & MARY" whose log book rests at the Westport Maritime Museum in Mass. Then there was the "HUNTER" 1882-83 with log book in NEW BEDFORD, the "JOHN CARVER" 1884-1885, the "BELUGA"- 1892, the "ORCA" steamer- 1893 with log book at Mystic museum and the "BELUGA" steamer -1896. He captained the "ORCA" in 1897 when it was trapped in ice and destroyed, of which much is written. He piloted the "THRASHER" a steamer that set sail from San Francisco from 1897-1899 and retired back to New Bedford around 1900. His exploits took him around the world through the Bering straights, both poles and the Arctic where he spent nearly half of his career. His second wife Carolyn was with him and died in the Arctic. His son "Bertie Jr" was with him on the BELUGA" Bertie was the father of Elizabeth Ladner who wrote a several page handwritten letter on her husbands stationary where she details her grandfathers exploits and ownership of these two Smith & Wesson revolvers and how she inherited them upon her fathers death. There are copies of two photographs, one of the "BELUGA" whaler where a birthday party was held at Herschel Island for 5 year old Bertie(Albert moved his family to San Francisco in 1894-95) along with a picture of Bertie and Albert around the same time. There is a Smith & Wesson letter dated May 3, 2002 to Mr. Ladner stating the S&W .44 Double Action First Model serial 24521 was sold October 1891 and the .38 Safety Hammerless 3rd model serial 63615 sold in November the same year. This is just an information letter and does not detail the guns as to finish, barrels, etc. This lot also includes a sea bag made from sail cloth that is stenciled "MRS A.C.SHERMAN NEW BEDFORD MASS" . She was Alfred's third wife. We surmise that her address is printed in case of Albert's death. As to the revolvers, both exhibit nearly full coverage bank note scroll engraving that appears to be of the same style and shop as found on page 60 of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The .44 sports a 6" barrel, nickel plated, case color hammer & trigger, blue trigger guard and sporting pearl grips. (also comes with a period flap holster stamped .44, S&W & 6" on back in excellent condition but does have some loose stitching 4" up from tip) The .38 appears to be nearly identical in engraving pattern and sporting pearl grips with a gold wash cylinder as well. CONDITION: Both function correctly with strong bores that show some abrasion. Both have wonderful grips, at least 90% nickel finish, crisp engraving , strong case colors and blue with 90% gold wash intact on small revolver.

(A) AINSWORTH INSPECTED LOT SIX CUSTER RANGE COLT CAVALRY SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

Lot #1315 (Sale Order 183 of 519)

According to a letter written in 2016 from John Kopec, he states that he had examined this revolver previously, in August of 1991. He relates that this revolver originated from within Lot Six (5505-6516). This was one of the prime lots that revolvers were issued to the U.S. 7th Cavalry as it was within this range that revolvers were issued to Companies D and I. In 1874, 921 Colts were shipped to the 7th Cavalry from the Rock Island Arsenal, of those, approximately 300 were from Lot Six. At the Battle of Little Bighorn, D Company was in Captain Benteen's command and most of I Company was part of Custer's group. Serial numbers 5505, 5637, 5740, 5743, 5773, 5998, 6048, 6067, and 6269, are all from Lot Six and are documented or attributed to the 7th Cavalry per Kopec and Fenn. He could not pinpoint this serial number but does write that this revolver was turned in by Whirling-White Head on September 5th , 1876, three months after Custer's famous last battle. This revolver was manufactured in 1874 and was sub-inspected by O. W. Ainsworth. It bears his "A" inspection stamp on the top of the back strap, under the barrel, and on the trigger guard. This gun has matching numbers on the frame, barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and back strap. There is also a P stamped under barrel and on the cylinder as well. The barrel has the early one line Colt address. The frame is stamped with the early two line patent dates along with U.S. This gun was issued with standard blue and case color finish with one piece walnut grips that show no remaining cartouche. John also notes the this gun used the leftover 1860 Army mainspring, that the grips have a matching serial number in the channel, and that all the markings are original and correct. He draws attention to the fact that the ejector housing and rod were missing when he first examined the gun, but it now wears a proper donut style assembly (the patina matches perfectly). Also, the screw that retains the cylinder pin is a replacement. Everything else on the gun is just as it left the factory prior to the great battle. CONDITION. Very good. The entire gun is now a smooth patina with no signs of any original finish. The grips show wear and usual dents. All of the legends are sharp. The action is tight and has the four clicks.

Board is affixed with approximately 200 rounds of ammunition, 9 cap tins, and 15 slugs. Most cartridges appear live. Headstamps are mixed, but many are Winchester production. Field measures approximately 32 - 3/4" by 48 - 3/4". As framed in oak, the board measures approximately 36" by 52". CONDITION: Good. Field has good, rich color with some soiling and fading. Cartridges vary in condition but are mostly very good, although would benefit from some light cleaning and tightening. Frame is good with some corner separation. An outstanding display piece. PROVENANCE: Jim Cyr Collection. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

(A) FIRST ARMY CONTRACT SPENCER MILITARY RIFLE ATTRIBUTED THE MICHIGAN CAVALRY UNDER CUSTER'S COMMAN

Lot #1353 (Sale Order 221 of 519)

Colonel John Copland, an early and outspoken supporter of repeating rifles, ordered 1,200 Spencer rifles for his 5th Michigan Cavalry and was the first to receive the potent repeating arms. The first 500 rifles were delivered in December 1862 in the 1000 to 1550 serial number range, followed by an additional 500 in January 1863 in the 1551 to 2050 range. This example 1555 falls squarely between these first army shipments. Copeland armed not only the 5th Cavalry but also some of the 6th Cavalry with approximately 300 of the Spencer rifles, having suffered some losses in the 5th. Placed under George Custer's Command, the Michigan Brigade were the only troops armed with Spencers at Gettysburg and used them effectively halting Jeb Stuart's advance on July 3. By late 1864 it is believed nearly all of the Spencer rifles were lost or replaced with much handier carbines. As a result, these early rifles have a very low survival rate. This example appears to have been re-arsenalized after the war, the barrel relined to .50 with 3-groove rifling. Standard German silver blade bayonet lug front sight and 800 yard graduated rear ladder sight. Case hardened receiver without cut-off or the standard manufacturer markings. Various sub-inspector stamps present on internal components and the lever. Stocked in walnut with a full length forend retained by 3 bands. CONDITION: Good. Barrel displays a brown/gray patina with some cleaned oxidation spots. Action has a characteristic silvery case hardening patina with a few faint flashes of color and patterning, some areas of cleaned oxidation present. Wood appears lightly cleaned with only minor bumps and bruises. The rear barrel band spring is a replacement finished in brilliant nitre blue. Bore is very strong, some oxidation present near the muzzle. Fine mechanics. A very scarce early Spencer with tantalizing Gettysburg attribution. PROVENANCE: Jim Cyr Collection.

The left side of the receiver features a running buck and hound flanked by open foliate scroll over punch dot backgrounds and rope borders. The right side also has further foliate scrolls and rope borders, as well as the inscription "J.T.H. / to T.T.", which R.L. Wilson believed to be factory. It is likely this is a Civil War presentation, although neither individual is known. Gloss finished select grade figured walnut perch belly stock with obtuse comb angle. Stock is mounted with a rear sling swivel and rounded heel silver plated brass buttplate with a flourish of foliate scroll over punch dot engraving. Matching numbers observed on the barrel breech, inside of lower tang, stock channel, underside of the butt plate, and on both buttplate screws. The numbers on the tang and stock appear to have been initially stamped in error at the factory and corrected, silver plating present in the tang number stamps. This wonderful rifle is pictured on page 27 of R.L. Wilson's "Winchester Engraving", then part of the Col. T. Daghistani Collection. Born in 1949, Timoor Daghistani served as Jordanian ambassador to Spain from 1994 to 1999, becoming ambassador to the United Kingdom the same year, and at one point was married to Princess Basma bint Talal, daughter of King Talal of Jordan.

(A) FANTASTIC ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

Lot #1416 (Sale Order 284 of 519)

MANUFACTURED IN 1870. This gun falls in the no record range. The brass frame is masterfully engraved with nearly full coverage along with engraving on the nose cap and the toe of butt plate. The forward vignette is an eleven point circular design with a bank note scroll border and is the same on both sides. The center vignette panels are in same location on both sides and are similar in design yet different pattern. The majority of receiver exhibits the bank note American scroll with textured back ground. We could not find an exact match in the engraving samples but we feel that it is from the shop of John Ulrich. All the traits are there. The lower inside tang is stamped J.F. and it is our opinion that this was an engraver in the Ulrich shop. The 8016 partial serial number is stamped inside the top stock channel as well as on the butt plate. The frame screws are blue. The sights consist of a folding Beech front, the 900 yard folding ladder rear with a rare early Vernier tang sight pictured in the Madis book but does not even have a model number. The inside lower tang has the XX stamp with an S indicating the special grain walnut stock that has the deluxe piano finish. The butt trap contains the four piece cleaning rod. Other features include the full octagon barrel, full tube magazine and swivels. The Winchester two line barrel legend does not have the Henry notation. The hammer and lever are case color with some flashes of color. CONDITION: Excellent. All of the brass is wonderfully toned with crisp engraving. The stocks are proud to metal and exhibit only minor impressions. The barrel and tube are a butter smooth homogenous blue blending to an even patina with some age freckles. Barrel legends are crisp. Even the bolt retains generous blue finish. The action is smooth and the bore is strong and bright. The loading gate retains majority of blue. Even the screws retain a generous bright blue.

Born in 1874, Ed McGivern became "the fastest gun in the world" and set numerous longstanding shooting records with the handgun, also developing the iconic McGivern gold bead front sight both of these revolvers are factory equipped with. The revolvers and other associated items in this lot descended from Robert Kaurin, in McGivern's words a "sincere and loyal friend", of Lewistown, Montana. As shipped in 1948, the K-22, serial number K8757, remains features classic polish blued finish, pinned 6" barrel, McGivern front sight, adjustable target rear, and diamond checkered walnut grips inset with S&W medallions. The left side of the frame is engraved "ED McGIVERN / 1948". According to Smith & Wesson historian Don Mundell "The invoice does not mention the engraving; however, I believe Smith & Wesson did the engraving at no charge for their friend, Ed McGivern." Revolver is housed in a period correct 2-piece gold box with tools. The second gun, serial number K958, also remains in the same configuration as shipped in 1947, although is not engraved with McGivern's name. It is also housed in a gold box with tools and shooting card. The revolvers are accompanied by a very attractive floral tooled double gun belt by Victor Ario Saddlery of Great Falls, Montana. McGivern is photographed using a very similar rig, likely by the same local maker. Also included is a signed copy of McGivern's iconic "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting" with personal inscription to Robert Kaurin. An original scrapbook from the Kaurin family includes original photographs of McGivern shooting, correspondence with him, and newspaper clippings.

Lot #1458 (Sale Order 326 of 519)

Manufactured 1981. The Colt Collectors Association has produced their Annual Show Gun since the mid 1990's. That gun is held as the final item in their Annual Auction - it's the highlight of the CCA Show. The Show Gun has always graced the cover of the Fall issue of The Rampant Colt Magazine. "Originally, only Colt Master Engravers working in the Custom Shop were permitted to engrave a CCA Show Gun. That changed in 2003 when, thanks to Doug Turnbull, a sitting CCA Board Member, I was selected to engrave the Tampa, Florida Show Gun. Those guns produced early on were engraved (repeatedly) by Masters like George Spring, Steve Kamyk, Tim George, Andrew Bourbon, Dennis Kies, and Ben Lane Jr. Soon after I became involved I had the opportunity to assist in selecting new names for these project guns - names of engravers who are not directly connected with Colt Hartford, but never-the-less are Master Level Engravers. My co-chair, Charles Layson and I have named the Show Gun Masters in recent years. Each of these have been successful in producing outstanding works of the Engravers Art. That select group includes, Jim Blair, William Gamradt, Lee Griffiths, Robert Strosin, and Weldon Lister. In 2019 we altered the history of Colt Engraving forever when we named Diane Scalese as Master Engraver for the Frisco, Texas Show Gun. Diane was the first female to have her name listed as Master Engraver on a Colt Factory Letter. Each of this select group has the distinction of possessing two viable Master Engraver titles - those of FEGA Master and Colt Master." MIKE DUBBER.

(C) VERY FINE AND RARE INSCRIBED COLT NEW ARMY 1894 DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER IN .32-20 WCF

Lot #1465 (Sale Order 333 of 519)

It is surmised that Colt manufactured 1100 Colt Walker Dragoon revolvers of which it is estimated that around 10% have survived. This revolver is far scarcer than just about any Colt known. In fact, most gun enthusiasts have never even heard of a Colt Army revolver being offered in the 32-20 caliber but it is verified that they did make a few. Not only is this revolver a factory original 32-20 but it is inscribed "Robt T Hodge Sheriff King County Seattle USA 1915. " " Robert Tait Hodge (March 17, 1875 – October 9, 1923) was an American law enforcement officer and politician who served as the 8th Governor of Washington from 1913 to 1918. Prior to that, Hodge served as the 18th King County Sheriff from 1909 to 1912. Elected in 1912, he became the first Governor of Washington from the newly created Progressive Party. Shortly into his second term as governor, Hodge was impeached for corruption reasons." Publication: ALTERNATIVE HISTORY. Since Hodge had been the Sheriff of King County until elected as the Governor of Washington State in 1912, running as part of Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose party, conjecture is that this gun was given to Hodge by his successor as Sheriff of King County in 1915. The gun's serial number lists it at 1906. Gun has matching assembly number 824 on the inside frame, crane and grips. Typical pre 1913 high polish blue finish with fire blue screws and a hammer with polished sides and fire blue top and back. Grips are deluxe diamond checkered walnut found on same era Officers model which were added along with the original gutta percha grips that have the 824 matching assembly number. The two line barrel address has March 5, 95 as the last patent date with 32 WCF on right side of barrel. This gun has the new style frame that was first produced in serial range 254,xxx. The 32WCF was also introduced in 1905 with a special lowered stepped front sight and a new ejector rod cap. The VP proof is on forward trigger guard. Guns in this serial range will only have the number on the butt. Colt writes that this gun was shipped in a five gun shipment on 5-21-1906 to Seattle Hardware. CONDITION: Gun retains at least 90% plus of the factory high polish blue finish. Small parts retain generous amounts of fire blue. Both sets of grips are near mint. Action and bore are sharp. Most of the wear is along the muzzle, cylinder high edges with drag line and back strap is patina so this gun was carried but did not see much hard use. An almost impossible to upgrade 32-20 New Army 1894 revolver with historical ties to Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose party and Seattle history.

(C) SMITH & WESSON M13 AIR CREWMAN SURVIVAL REVOLVER.

Lot #1466 (Sale Order 334 of 519)

In the early stages of the Korean War, the Air Force began trialing lightweight revolvers to be issued to aircrews for use in survival situations. 40,000 of the alloy frame revolvers were ordered from Smith & Wesson. The inherent weakness of the alloy construction led the government to destroy the revolvers, leaving very few survivors that were already issued to crews. Most of the revolvers, barring early examples which were numbered in their own Air Force sequence, fall into the C247000 to C405363. This revolver was manufactured in late 1953 on a 4 screw anodized alloy K-frame. Per an Air Force request production switched from 5 screw to 4 screw frames that year, although civilian production of 5 screw Airweight frames continued until 1955. The left side of the frame marked at the top "REVOLVER, LIGHT WEIGHT, M 13". Although usually found without spaces in lightweight and M13, Supica & Nahas note some 5 screw guns and a few early 4 screw guns have the spaces. Backstrap also stamped with "PROPERTY OF U.S. AIRFORCE" marking. 2" snub nose barrel and alloy cylinder. 2-piece diamond checkered round butt grips inset with S&W medallions. Matching numbers observed on butt, cylinder breech face, and underside of barrel. Inside of the right grip numbered "275 / 566", appearing to have been on this gun for a long time. Matching assembly numbers also present on frame and crane. CONDITION: Good. Revolver retains the vast majority of its factory anodized finish with areas of wear, especially on the top of frame, cylinder, and trigger guard. Some abrasion also present on the butt and back strap. Case colors are slightly faded on trigger and hammer with a spot of oxidation on the right side of the hammer. Grips have commensurate wear and dings. Very good, bright bore with well defined rifling. Crisp mechanics.

Engraved with approximately 75% coverage of deluxe open acanthus scroll engraved with a punch dot background and shaded with hatching and chipped borderwork, in the manner of L.D. Nimschke. On the left side of the frame is an inscription "MISS PEARL JONES." in a ribbon on a finely stippled ground, with the reverse engraved "June 9th 1906" in one of the scroll curls. Fit with a set of pearl grips with brass S&W medallions. Blue trigger guard, trigger, and top latch. The action works and indexes fine. Checkered grip safety on the back strap. CONDITION: Metal retains the vast majority, approximately 80%, of the original nickel, with most losses confined to barrel assembly, at flutes and bottom of barrel, and grip straps. Case colors still visible on trigger, pearl grips have excellent fire and no cracks or chips. Mechanically fine, bore is bright and shiny with sharp lands and grooves. While research has been unable to locate Miss Pearl Jones, she must have been a person of some means to be in possession of such a revolver.

(C) HIGH CONDITION COLT MODEL 1877 THUNDERER DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER.

Lot #1468 (Sale Order 336 of 519)

The factory letter states that this gun was shipped on February 10th, 1902, as 6" .41 calbier gun with blue finish and stocks not listed to E.G. Shields Insular Purchasing Agent, Manila, Philippine Islands, marked "E.G.&S. Manila c/o J.H.", through New York in a 350 gun shipment. Features are as listed sporting the standard Colt gutta percha grips. The term "Marked" is interesting in that the gun does not have any marks other than standard factory. We can only surmise that they intended for bill of lading to be marked for agent. Standard blue finish also means standard case color frame. All of the screws are fire peacock blue as well as the trigger and top/back of hammer. The left side of barrel wears the roll die stamped "COLT D.A. .41". Top of barrel stamped with Colt address. Left side of frame bears the later four line patent legend. It is also interesting that this gun was shipped to Manila four months before The Philippine-American War (1899–1902) was declared over by Teddy Roosevelt. CONDITION: Stunning overall with nearly all the brilliant case colors on frame as well as the bright blue finishes. The high polish blue finish on barrel has a hint of muzzle wear. The straps show only minute handling. The tips of the cylinder show a touch of wear with a few ghost circumference marks. The grips are crisp. The blued cylinder face shows no signs of burn. Typical of these firearms, the action works single action but sticks in double action. The bore is bright. It is amazing that any gun sent to a tropical climate such as Manila could survive in this nearly pristine condition. It is also surprising that a gun that saw no use could already have issues with the double action giving credence to the fragile nature of this Colt design.

Manufactured 1912. Cattle brand guns reportedly originated sometime during the 1930s with Texas engraver Cecil Coe “Cole” Agee (1901-1955).

These guns were purchased by Continental Tobacco Company and offered as as a redeemable reward upon redemption of 1500 tobacco coupons. At that time, most tobacco came in a twist pouch, open with no packaging. Once the original packages were sold from the store display, the shopkeeper would refill using lower quality tobacco. To ensure you were buying the real deal, the tobacco companies began using a metal tag as a seal of authenticity, offering rewards in exchange for the tags collected. They printed a catalog of available options and from about 1901 through 1903, you could redeem the tags for a brand new Colt Lightning, like this one.

(C) OUTSTANDING GRIFFIN & HOWE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903 SPORTING RIFLE, A REPLICA OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT'S

Lot #1530 (Sale Order 398 of 519)

In 2009, on the hundredth anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt's African Safari for the Smithsonian Institution and his subsequent book "African Game Trails", the idea was hatched to replicate the Springfield sporting rifle built for Teddy in 1904 at the Springfield Armory and the gun that now resides in Sagamore Hill. The idea was floated past Paul Chapman of Griffin and Howe. He was quite reluctant to make a special rifle not of the usual Griffin and Howe profile. Enough of the rifle had to be built by them to earn the G&H moniker but it was finally agreed upon that they would take the challenge. An order was placed for two identical rifles to be made using the drawings and specs from the rifle now residing at Sagamore Hill. Once everything was secured, the process began. First, there would be several small changes from the original. Roosevelt's rifle was chambered for the old .30-03 but the .30-06 made more practical sense. Second, his rifle had a horn butt plate with a teat. To do this, you would need a 3/4" piece of horn, which is very fragile, so a steel Neidner was chosen. Lastly, his gun was a low number standard Springfield 1903 receiver but for this project, a high number was chosen. Taking liberties on these three details was the only departure from the original. The drawings of the original barrel were sent to the Krieger company of Milwaukee to replicate to the tiniest degree, with exception to chambering. A correct Winchester style flat top sporting sight was selected along with an original 1896 Krag saddle ring carbine barrel band. Since no front sight existed to match Teddy's rifle, one was custom milled per specs by noted gunsmith Dan Stone of the Chicago area. The compete barreled action, butt plate, sights, and barrel band were then sent to Griffin and Howe along with a copy of the drawings and measurements of the original rifle. It was there that they replicated the straight grain walnut stock and checkering, finished in hand rubbed oil, and perfectly fitted to all metal parts. They hand engraved "30 Govt 06" on the left side of barrel. Top of barrel is stamped "Griffin & Howe Inc New York, NY". The ejector, barrel band spring. and all screws were finished in peacock nitre blue. Balance of metal done in rust blue. Griffin and Howe was going through some internal turmoil during this era and the project, from start to finish, took almost 10 years to complete It was not until much later that it was discovered after having moved the operation to New Jersey, the pair of rifles (one of which is offered here) were the last two guns ever stamped with the legendary Griffin & Howe, New York barrel address and the only two such rifles ever made by them. So they are the last guns made of the famous original custom rifle builders. The rifle comes cased with an original 1909 period map of Africa, period box of Winchester Gun Grease, period Hoppes box of solvent & patches, nickel plated oil bottle, period bagged Marbles cleaning rod, brass brushes, two ebony turn screws and a vintage box of .30-06 ammunition. The canvas and leather case wears the familiar Griffin & Howe New York trade label. CONDITION: Near new, never fired since built with only some minor wear on bolt from working the smooth as silk action. Like all Griffin and Howe custom rifles, it is a work of the gunmaker's art.

IMPORTANT PRESENTATION KATANA BY IEYOSHI, GIVEN TO MAJOR GENERAL FRANK PARKER BY PRINCE KAN'IN KOTOH

Lot #1635 (Sale Order 503 of 519)

The lid of the presentation box reads "Presentation" and "Chief of Staff" on the exterior, while the interior states that the sword is a tachi by Ieyoshi in efu-no-tachi mounts, and elaborates that it is a 500 year old sword, and is in formal mounts, and appears to say that it was given in celebration of something, unclear. Prince Kan'in was a career officer who was the Chief of Staff for the Imperial Japanese Army between 1931 and 1940. He was adopted by Emperor Komei as a potential heir, as Kotohito was from one of the viable branches of the family that could succeed in case of a death. He attended The Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1877, and studied in France as a military attache in 1882. He graduated from Army Staff college in 1894, with a specialization in cavalry, commanding 1st Cavalry Regiment between 1897 and 1899. He was a veteran of both the First Sino-Japanese and the Russo-Japanese War, and became Lieutenant General in 1905; he was a full general and member of the Supreme War Council in 1912. He was the youngest Field Marshal in the IJA at age 54, and was very active until his retirement in 1940, although he maintained his position on the Supreme War Council and as a senior advisor to the Emperor. He died May 21st, 1945. His opposite, Frank Parker, was a career US Army officer, who graduated form the US Military Academy in 1894, and proceeded to serve in the Spanish-American War and in Puerto Rico, before returning to teach at the Academy until 1903. He served as a military attache to a number of foreign nations, mostly South American, and was promoted to a brigadier generalship in 1917, when the US entered what would become World War I. After the war, he taught at a number of institutions, including Ecole Superieure de Guerre, the Command and Staff School, and the Army War College. Until his retirement in 1936, he continued to be active, with numerous other promotions and posts, including Assistant Chief of Staff, head of the Phillippine Department, and commander of the Eighth Corps Area and Third Army. This sword was presented to Frank Parker by Prince Kan'in, and is recorded in a piece from the McKissick Museum that shows Major General Parker with this sword on a tachi kake, and the reverse is written "Major General Frank Parker with 350-year-old sword presented him [sic] by Prince Kanin, chief of staff of the Japanese army and uncle of the present emperor" with an October 11th, 1936 date and what appear to be other accession control numbers. Considering how the presentation appears to be in celebration of something, and the date, perhaps a retirement gift from his Japanese counterpart? Both men spent considerable time in Europe and may have crossed paths numerous times. The sword is a 67.1 nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form with the steel grain of itame construction, with a compact gunome midare temper line, with more activity on the right side of the cutting edge, including areas of saka-choji, and more calm notare sections on left left, mixed with nie, and sunagashi. Suriage nakago with two mekugi-ana, katte sagari yasurime, and signed katanamai "Ieyoshi". Accompanied by an NTHK Kantei-sho and Shinsa sheet dated 1997, to a mid Muromachi smith, Echizen Ieyoshi; Fujishiro rates Ieyoshi as a chu-jo-saku smith with a wazamono cutting rank, and records that he was a member of the Chiyozuru school, and may have been the same person as Kashu Ieyoshi, and that his style resembled Fujishima Tomoshige. Efu no tachi mounts of classic configuration with high grade sa-me, golden baskets, and menuki in the form of buttons, with paulownia flowers on a nanako ground. Nashiji lacquer saya with tachi mounts, done in brass and purple cord, with leather tachi no-o. Accompanied by a binder of research and translations of the various pieces; standouts include NTHK papers, original photo of Frank Parker with this sword on a tachi make in his office, extensive photos and biographical information on Parker and Kotohito, and correspondence with the McKissick Museum, which housed the sword until 1997 when it was deaccessioned at auction. CONDITION: Blade with clear features throughout, interrupted by a few spots of patchy mossing including some shintetsu, with features visible throughout but soft in some areas. Some handling marks, but no serious openings such as fukure. Mounts are very good with some handling marks and age related distress and darkening, but solid and whole. Box with some handling marks and missing some small pieces, but writing is clearly legible throughout. Imperial presentation swords are very rare, especially ones where we can identify both the recipient and the giver, between two respected military members. Blade Length: 67.1cm Overall Length: 36 - 7/8" Paperwork: Binder of Paperwork, Presentation Box

AN IMPORTANT WORLD WAR II JAPANESE OFFICER'S SWORD WITH A FAMILY MOUNTED BUNGO YUKINAGA BLADE.

Lot #1636 (Sale Order 504 of 519)

Yukinaga is recorded in Fujishiro as a chu-jo-saku (Superior medium made) smith circa 1658 as a member of the Takada ha; his blades are also recorded as Ryowazamono, indicating that they were very good cutting swords. 66.6cm nagasa (approximately 26 - 1/4") of classic shinogi zukuri form. Sword grain is a very tight itame-mokume mixture, with classic masame in the shinogi-ji. Temper line is a midare based on suguha, with plenty of nie, ashi, yo, and tobiyaki, with a string of tobiyaki at the monouchi that resembles clouds. Wide boshi. Suriage nakago with kiri jiri, two mekugi-ana, katte sagari yasurime, and signed Fujiwara Yukinaga. Accompanied by two sets of papers, one a NBTHK Hozon paper dated August 25th, 2020, and an NBTHK Kicho paper dated May 9th, 1965. Adding to the desirability of this sword are the custom army mounts, which have a single hanger, leather wrapped saya with catch, pierced tsuba, and a copper habaki with the family name Shimada. Sea green tsuka ito and high quality sa-me, menuki in the form of a swarm of birds, and kabuto gane with blue-and-brown sword tassel for Company officers. With storage bags. PROVENANCE: This sword came from Mike Yamasaki, the noted sword authority, who acquired it from the original family. Oral history was the officer who had this sword was a doctor from a known samurai family, so they mounted a family blade in custom mounts for him to take to war. It was a common practice to mount familial blades for soldiers, so they could carry a family relic with them and draw on the spiritual power. The presence of a Bungo blade adds to this, as Bungo blades were well regarded for their reliability and cutting ability, making them a prime choice for a real working samurai, rather than an art piece. CONDITION: Excellent, healthy, and in polish. Activities are clear throughout, jigane is a little soft but still very visible. Some very minor handling marks and associated marks from age that do not detract. Mounts are very good with some minor handling marks, such as surface scrapes to leather. True samurai blades like this are highly desirable, and a maker like Yukinaga coupled with the World War II connection make this a wonderful complete package, already papered. Blade Length: 66.6cm Overall Length: 37" Paperwork: NBTHK Papers, Mounts

IMPORTANT WORLD WAR II KATANA SIGNED BY YOSHIHARA KUNIIE USING HIS NOBUTAKE MEI.

Lot #1637 (Sale Order 505 of 519)

Yoshihara Kuniie was born in 1894, the son of a 7th generation toolmaker. He followed in his father's footsteps, becoming the eighth generation, but had interest in sword smithing, and in 1933 when Kurihara Hikosaburo began the program to train wordsmiths, Yoshihara was the first to sign up. Based on his previous experience as a toolmaker, he quickly gained skill and his work was highly regarded. He trained under Kurihara and Kiyoyuki, but his true mentor is considered Kasamaa Ikkansai Shigetsugu, who Kurihara brought in to be a formal teacher at the Nipponto Tanren Denshujo. By 1937, Kuniie was an auxiliary teacher at the Kingakubu Nihonto Kenkyujo at Kyushu University, and opened his own smithy in Tokyo in 1938. He was a part time teacher at multiple schools, and was a Rukugun Jumei Tosho during the war, which provided him with access to tamahagane. Swords with signatures like this one, which reads "Tokyo Dai Ichi Rikugun Zoheisho Yoshihara Nobutake", are the ones he made while he was training wordsmiths for the Imperial Army in Akabane, Tokyo; considering that he only started teaching there in 1943, swords with this signature are quite scarce. After the war, Kuniie went back to tool making, apparently running a successful crowbar manufacturing business with his son, but when the restriction on swordsmiting was lifted in 1953, he returned the craft, and focusing on it full time in 1964. He trained an apprentice, Shimizu Tadatsugu, and his two grandchildren, Yoshindo and Shoji, before passing in 1970. Today, four of his students are considered mukansa (lit. "without judgement"); his son Shoji is also designated an Important Living Cultural Property, and was in The Last Samurai as the wordsmith for a warlord in the film, and Yoshindo is a Tokyo Living National Asset. 67.2 cm nagasa (approximately 26 - 1/2") of classic shinogi zukuri form. Done in the Soden Bizen style that Kuniiye was most well known for, with choji temper line, a dense and well-grained itame with areas of tobiyaki and ji nie, saka ashi, with long strands of kinsuji. Some muneyaki towards boshi. Dated for an auspicious day in June of Showa 18 (1943). Solid silver habaki with hatch decoration. Housed in a honoki wood shirasaya which fits well. CONDITION: In good, recent polish that shows off features well throughout. There is some looseness just below the mono uchi that does not detract. Mei is clear and confidently cut. This is a fantastic sword from one of the most well respected smiths of the modern era, who had an indelible impact on the art form. Blade Length: 67.2cm Overall Length: 37 - 3/4"

ADDENDUM: NTHK papers attesting to the authenticity of the signature have been provided and photos uploaded.
