(C) US WWII REMINGTON M1903 (MODIFIED) BOLT ACTION RIFLE.

Lot #2173 (Sale Order 87 of 517)

Produced in 7/42. There were two versions of this rifle: the first version looked like a 1903 Rock Island/SA Arsenal rifle, and the second version the M1903 (Modified), like this example, with stamped components which evolved into the 1903A3. This rifle was termed as a modified model as it used wartime improvements or shortcuts in the manufacturing process to speed up production of various parts. These rifles in original condition are extremely rare. Survival rate of original rifles is almost nonexistent, making these an extremely hard 1903 rifle variation to find in unaltered condition. Left flat of stock is marked with "RA-P", which is a Raritan Arsenal proof mark. The receiver has the standard markings: "REMINGTON MODEL / 1903" and the barrel is marked "RA / (Ordnance Bomb) / 7-42". Original, early, two bolt, "S" style, straight grip walnut stock and handguard. It has the correct Remington parts including the barrel bands, complete trigger housing assembly, smooth face buttplate, trigger, sear, and the early smooth body bolt and cocking knob assembly. The body bolt, complete milled rear sight assembly, cutoff, extractor, and cocking assembly all have their original Remington blued finish.

Lot #2189 (Sale Order 103 of 517)

Essentially a second generation Grandpa, the so-called Papa Nambus were the result of a revision in 1904 by Kijiro Nambu. This example is one of the more interesting privately produced examples by Tokyo Gas Electric company, who appear to have taken the reins from Tokyo Artillery Arsenal on production of the Papa, as Naval adoption of the Papa meant that Tokyo arsenal no longer had the production capacity to keep up. After World War I, the Papa Nambu (and the Baby) was shelved in favor of the Type 14, and the parts left over from Tokyo Arsenal were provided to Tokyo Gas Electric, who fulfilled the final contracts and finally ceased private production in 1928. Matching serial numbers observed on recoil spring guide rod, locking block, firing pin carrier, cocking knob, frame, barrel assembly, and both grip scales. Interestingly, the numbers are all overstamped over the same number (6882) instead of matching various numbers to 6710. Typical markings throughout with some smaller proofs that might be inspector marks? Magazine mismatched, 5552. Housed in the rubberized canvas holster with sling inside and japanned buckles.

Lot #2200 (Sale Order 114 of 517)

When Schroeder and Breathed wrote the book " System Mauser" in 1967, they list only one serial number of this type rework. It is found on page 130 and we could not find another example having been offered. This one is a bit different than the example pictured in the book in that the fine tune front sight is that as used on early Artillery lugers. The long range standard rear sight has been removed and replaced with a standing single blade. Gun has all external matching numbers while internal numbers are mixed and then it was subsequently refinished, all per the Versailles Treaty which allowed only a certain number and type of gun to be retained in Germany for police.

While in India, he saw action during the 1857-1859 Indian Rebellion where he was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1857, and was awarded the Mutiny Medal for his service, with two clasps: "Lucknow" and the "Relief of Lucknow". The 84th would return home to the UK in 1859, but before leaving, a General Order was issued thanking the 84th for their services during the campaign and ordered a salute be fired when the unit embarked on their journey home. Upon their return home, every officer, non-commissioned officer, and man was presented with a pen knife by the Cutlers Company. Captain Hardy was appointed Aide De Camp to Brigadier General Russell of the 3rd Infantry Brigade at Aldershot in May 1860. In November 1864 he obtained the rank of Major by purchase and rejoined the 84th. In May 1869 he was promoted by purchase to Lieutenant Colonel, and was promoted to Brevet Colonel in May 1874.

In April 1885 he was promoted to the rank of Major General, even though, due to family commitments, he was unable to accept the command he was offered.

(A) FINE RIGBY CUSTOM WINCHESTER MODEL 1876 LEVER ACTION SHORT RIFLE.

Lot #2267 (Sale Order 181 of 517)

The Model 1876 was chambered for the largest calibers available in a lever action rifle in 1879 when this rifle was made. British officers stationed in India at that time found the 1876 to be the perfect weapon for Tigers and many were purchased for that purpose. Given the amount of surviving British proofed 1876 Models, the short round barrel rifles with short magazines seemed to be the preferred style. The big .50 was introduced in 1879 but up to that point, the 45-75 was the beefiest cartridge available. Research states this rifle left the factory on December 31, 1879 as a standard round rifle. It was obviously shipped to John Rigby of London where it was altered to a 22" barrel with a scarce 2/3 magazine which enabled the hunter two extra rounds. The left side plate is engraved " J. RIGBY & CO 72 ST. JAMES'S ST. LONDON" The frame and barrel bear British proofs. A three leaf folding express sight was added with standard dove tail front sight. As was customary with the Brits, it appears is was finished by them at time of alterations as there is blue over the engraving. The frame exhibits a mirror bright high polish finish. The stocks are standard walnut with a trap door rifle butt plate. Top of barrel retains the crisp two line Winchester legend. CONDITION. Excellent. Frame retains at least 85% bright blue. The thumb print dust cover is grey patina and appears as if the finish flaked off due to finishing process. The loading gate still retains majority of the peacock nitre blue. The barrel and tube retain at least 80% blue with scattered handling marks, some patina bleeding through and thinning. The hammer and trigger still retain generous case colors. The stocks are proud to metal, solid, with scattered dings and abrasions. Action is fine. Bore is well defined. A great example of a British empire Tiger rifle.

The violence escalated in 1873 at the Colfax Riot over the disputed 1872 gubernatorial election.

(A) A HISTORIC WINCHESTER 1873 .44-40 LEVER ACTION RIFLE USED BY CHIEF RAIN IN THE FACE, WITH OUTSTA

Lot #2271 (Sale Order 185 of 517)

Chief Rain-in-the-Face, born Ite Omagazu, apocryphally earned his name after a fight with a Cheyenne boy where the blood looked like rain on his face. Chief Rain-in-the-Face first fought against the whites in the summer of 1866 when he participated in a raid against Fort Totten in what is now North Dakota, and in December 1866, he participated in the Fetterman Massacre near Fort Phil Kearny in present-day Wyoming. His first encounter with George Custer came during the Black Hills War, when he killed Dr. John Honsinger, Augustus Baliran, and Private John Ball, all of whom were attached to the 7th Cavalry as the senior veterinarian, sutler, and private, respectively. Rain-in-the-Face returned to the Standing Rock Reservation, where he lived until 1873, when a scout named Charley Reynolds visited the Standing Rock Agency and heard Rain-in-the-Face boasting about his participation in the ambush. When Reynolds reported what he had learned, General George Custer ordered Rain-in-the-Face arrested and dispatched his younger brother, Captain Thomas Custer, to take him into custody. Thomas Custer took Rain-in-the-Face to Fort Abraham Lincoln and incarcerated him; during this time, Rain-in-the-Face legendarily told Thomas Custer that he would kill him and eat his heart. Three months later, Rain-in-the-Face escaped and returned to the reservation, then fled to the Powder River country. In the spring of 1876, he joined Sitting Bull's band and traveled with him to the Little Big Horn River in early June. At Little Big Horn, Rain-in-the-Face allegedly was the one who cut Thomas Custer's heart out of his chest, took a bite, and spat out a piece of the heart, fulfilling his earlier threat, although other accounts indicate that Rain-in-the-Face did little to no fighting, as he was severely crippled by a lifetime of combat. Some contemporary accounts also claimed that the war chief had personally dispatched George Custer as well, but in the confused fighting, a number of similar claims have been attributed to other warriors. Late in his life, in a conversation with writer Charles Eastman, Rain-in-the-Face denied both the killing of George Custer and the mutilation of Tom Custer. After the Battle of Little Big Horn, Rain-in-the-Face joined other Hunkpapa as they fled north into Canada, spending the next several years in exile. He eventually surrendered in 1880 at Fort Keogh, Montana, alongside Spotted Eagle's band, and the following year was transferred to the Standing Rock Agency, Dakota Territory, where he later became a reservation police officer and lived the rest of his life. This rifle belonged to Rain-in-the-Face during his exile, and was likely procured for his own protection, as he and Sitting Bull had a disagreement of some kind, and Rain-in-the-Face went to Spotted Eagle’s camp, where he was tolerated but not welcome. The man who accepted his surrender was Eli L. Huggins, an American Brigadier General who served with distinction during the Indian Wars, earning the Medal of Honor at O’Fallons Creek, Montana, where he “surprised the Indians in their strong position and fought them until dark with great boldness”, per the citation. As he was so well regarded, during the closing of hostilities, Huggins was selected to parlay with Spotted Eagle and try to convince him and his band to return to the United States and settle on government-assigned reservations in exchange for clemency. A poor hunting season and dwindling supplies meant that Spotted Eagle did not reject the offer outright, and took some time to consider the offer, during which Huggins camped near Spotted Eagle, and met Rain-in-the-Face by chance when Rain-in-the-Face returned to camp. Huggins took the opportunity to speak with the Chief and shared with him some of the gifts of hardtack, sugar, and coffee that had been given to Spotted Eagle, as Spotted Eagle had distributed the gifts amongst his people, excluding Rain-in-the-Face. The gesture won Rain-in-the-Face’s confidence, and when the band departed for Fort Keogh, Rain-in-the-Face surrendered this Winchester to Huggins. Click here to see the full description.

GERMANIC HANGER WITH ORIGINAL SCABBARD.

BRITISH HORSEMAN'S BASKET-HILTED BROADSWORD.

Lot #2313 (Sale Order 227 of 517)

Circa 1750-60. This sword features a double-edged tapered blade three partial fullers at the top on both sides, partially visible "FERARA" on one side and indistinct lettering on other. Both sides stamped with maker's mark of double cross with circle at top. Attractive full basket hilt with finial quillon. Left side of hilt has a large oval ring that appears on some swords throughout the 18th century. This feature, according to John Wallace's "Scottish Swords and Dirks", is most likely that it denotes a horseman's sword. A horseman could shorten rein without letting go of his sword, as the oval opening allows a loop of the reins to be held in his left hand to be caught by a finger of his right. The sword also has the unusual feather of the loops in front of the guard being separate from the hilt and retained by three screws. Convex pommel with no capstan. Shagreen-wrapped grip decorated with two strands of twisted brass wire, one thin and the other thick. Turk's head know at base off grip.

SCARCE MONKEY POMMEL NEW ENGLAND CAVALRY SABER.

Lot #2314 (Sale Order 228 of 517)

Three identical examples of this rare and desirable “monkey head” or “New England Lion Head” sword are illustrated in the late William Guthman’s Sept/October 1982 Man at Arms article, “Colonial Swords of New England: Part I – Lion Head Pommels”, pg. 38. Several variations on this figural pommel have been interpreted either as a monkey or a smooth-headed lion. This example is one of a small sub-group, three of which came from an attic in Maine, according to Guthman. They all have the same D-shaped slotted guard, cylindrical grips that bulge slightly in the center and taper on both ends, seemed feral between the guard and the grip, and pierced counterguard divided by a single cross bar. The pommels animal heads of this sub-group have pointed and turned noses, integrally cast ears, and toothless mouths. The blade is a triple fuller, probably Spanish variety, like the others in this grouping. As Guthman noted, the grip woods varied across the three examples he had, including one example with cherry, one with walnut, and one chestnut. This example appears to be walnut. While many other smooth headed New England lion or monkey pommels are attributed to this same group documented by Guthman, this is one of the very few that matches them identically. A rare example of a desirable and aesthetically pleasing early sword with a narrowly defined geographic source base and represents a genuine piece of American military folk art. CONDITION: Blade retains a light brown patina and is tight to hilt. Hilt retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. Grip very good. Blade Length: 33" Overall Length: 39"

Lot #2316 (Sale Order 230 of 517)

Two very similar double-headed axes were found at Fort Ligonier in Pennsylvania and remain in the collection at Fort Ligonier. In his collection, Walter had copies of photographs and of the inventory cards for these two similar pieces. The tomahawk offered here measures about 5 - 1/8" overall with twin 2" blades with 1 - 9/16" cutting edges, and is of forged iron construction with both cutting edges of steel.

One diamond inlay is missing and part of one band is missing. This item was dug and retains a pitted surface with some minor losses. A very decorative, early, and unusual double edged American weapon.

AMERICAN SMALL SWORD BY JAMES GEDDY AND SONS OF WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA.

Lot #2317 (Sale Order 231 of 517)

This brass-hilted small sword is attributed to being the work of James Geddy or his sons in Williamsburg by the archeological recovery of identically decorated quillon blocks from the Governor's Palace, the property of carpenter James Wray and, most importantly, from the Geddy foundry site, all in Williamsburg. In addition, tests of the grip identified it as American grown wood of the Birch family. Often taken as an inexpensive gentleman's small sword, this pattern appears among those selected by British regimental commanders for infantry enlisted men from about 1720 to their abolition in 1768, and are shown in works such as Hogarth's March of the Guards to Finchley, painted 1749-50. An identical sword in the Williamsburg collection is so identified in Mullins, "Of Sorts for Provincials," pgs. 173-174, leading to the possibility it was a pattern selected at the company or regimental level for an American provincial or militia unit. The globe pommel mounts a capstan rivet and is decorated with classical full-standing figures and scrolling floral motifs. The floral elements are repeated midway on the knucklebow and quillon finial, which turns slightly to the right. The double clamshell guard is cast with classical and floral motifs as well. On both sides of the obverse guard reclining figures face one another with a globe between and arms hooked though a horn of plenty behind them. On the reverse guard the figures are turned away from one another and hold leafy C-scrolls. The upper edge of the guard on all sides bears a shallow basket or tray with 2 tiers of apples. This element is repeated on both sides of the quillon block with a figure carrying a similar tray or basket carrying apples, the obverse showing 2 tiers of apples and reverse, 1. The scene has been interpreted as Heracles or Atlas bearing the apples of the Hesperides, a fitting motif for a colonial American sword since the myth involves a journey west to the end of the world. The wood core of the grip is present with 4-strand Turk's head knots of twisted brass wire present top and bottom, but the wire wrap is missing. The blade is straight, double edged, tapering gently to a spearpoint, with a short, narrow, central fuller extending 3 - 1/4" from the guard, with "- I - - H - - I -" stamped in the fuller and a rubbed blade maker mark just below. CONDITION: Very good. The blade is silver gray in tone with good edge and point, having just scattered dark gray spots and areas of shallow freckling. The hilt is tight. The reverse grip had a 2" x 1/2" rectangle removed for analysis that confirmed the American origin of the wood. This could and should be restored by a competent conservator. The Turk's head knots are undisturbed. The upper pas-d'ane ring is missing about half its length. The lower is full length, but the end is bent slightly and curves over the counterguard. The quillon finial curves to the right, probably intended. The sword is accompanied by a draft article by Hartzler on the sword and the few other known parallels, grouping it with 2 others showing signs of sand-casting and unrefined details in the brass elements indicating he was working from other examples. James Geddy I arrived in Williamsburg by 1733 and died there in 1744. Sons David and William carried on the gunsmith, cutlery, and foundry trade, but sons James II and John, silversmiths, would also have been capable of the work. Blade Length: 28 - 3/4" Overall Length: 35 - 1/2"

(A) RARE FRENCH MODEL 1754 MARINE FLINTLOCK MUSKET.

Lot #2325 (Sale Order 239 of 517)

Perhaps the only one still in existence, as there are no other known examples of this scarce model made for French naval shipboard use with all brass furniture, manufactured during the French & Indian/Seven Years War. French reference books contain references, but no images nor listings, of yet existing examples of this model. One feature that solidifies manufacture for shipboard use is the brass trigger guard which was never drilled for a sling swivel. The smoothbore barrel has the typical 1754 7 - 1/2" faceted breech section and tapered top flat extending to the muzzle band. There is an iron bayonet lug mounted on top, towards the muzzle. The French Model 1754 lock appears to have faint St. Etienne and IF crowned “c” inspectors stamps in the center. All of the furniture is brass, including the rounded buttplate (same as Model 1754 Dragoon musket) and brass center band, that, with the full length barrel, distinguishes it from the Model 1754 Dragoon musket. The muzzle band has a triangular reinforced trumpeted opening for the ramrod also similar to that of the Model 1754 Dragoon musket, although the back of the band differs in shape. The center band is also spring-retained and identical to the iron 1754 Infantry musket's band with an integral sling swivel mount, except in this case, the center band is of brass. The rearmost band is pressure fitted and also of brass. The full-length walnut stock has the initials "IL" carved into the left side of the buttstock indicating colonial or early American use. Iron ramrod is a modern replacement. CONDITION: Barrel retains a dark heavy patina and scattered pitting, indicating naval use. Lock appears to be in its original flintlock configuration, although the frizzen screw and frizzen spring screws are likely more recent or perhaps earlier period replacements. Lock retains a mostly dark, heavy patina with scattered areas of pitting consistent with the barrel. A piece of brass had been laid in towards the back of the pan during its period of use. All brass retains a very dark brown-mustard patina and has not been polished, showing scattered marks from use. Stock shows age cracks, small chips and scattered marks and bruises from use. Overall, this is an extremely rare and desirable French Naval Musket, and is perhaps the last remaining example of the 1754 French naval model.

Lot #2328 (Sale Order 242 of 517)

For another example and extensive information on this pattern, see pages 122-131 of "The Brown Bess" by Erik Goldstein & Stuart Mowbray.

The musket is of the standard British Pattern specifications with the Tower proofs on the top of the barrel toward the breech. Behind the barrel tang is a deeply stamped "33" in the appropriate period font. The wrist escutcheon is engraved "D/55". It is possible that the musket was marked here in America for the 33rd British Regiment, known as the most battle hardened redcoats of the Revolutionary War. The lock is inscribed "TOWER" at the tail and has a large engraved crown over "GR" in the center. Below the pan is stamped with a crown, as it should be for these Liege manufactured muskets purchased by Britain. The brass furniture is of the Pattern 1769 type and the serpentine sideplate is flat. The walnut stock is stamped on the apron behind the barrel tang "33". The right side of the buttstock has many stamps including "D / 6 / 3 / 7 / P" and deeply carved initials "IL" on the left side. CONDITION: Barrel retains a light brown patina, markings show some wear. Lock retains a light grey/brown patina and has excellent markings. The brass mounts have a pleasing dark mustard patina and a small crack through rear triggerguard tang screw. Stock has a pleasing smooth surface with scattered bruises, age cracks and marks from use. Some slivers missing along forend. Overall, a very nice example of this pattern.

16TH-17TH CENTURY MUNITIONS GRADE "IRISH" BASKET HILTED BROADSWORD, AS USED IN EARLY VIRGINIA.

Lot #2357 (Sale Order 271 of 517)

A munitions grade example of the classic form of early “Irish” basket hilt common to the Anglo-Scottish and Irish forces of the 1500s and early 1600s and bearing a close relationship to the earliest British American colonial contexts. It particularly bears commonalities to those archaeologically associated with the earliest English colonization efforts of Virginia. It has all the characteristics of the “Irish” hilt swords of the Elizabethan period: the pleasing large round pommel, complex six bar basket of thin bars, and shields interrupting the bars in two places. The pommel bears an incised double lined cross. It has a triple fuller double edged broadsword blade. Famed archaeologist Ivor Noel Hume discusses similar rounded pommels found at Jamestown and other early 17th century colonial sites in his The Archaeology of Martin’s Hundred: Part 1 Interpretive Studies (page 404, particularly footnote 415). An example with different quillons but a similar large round pommel and overall shape was found in the wreckage of Henry VIII’s flagship the Mary Rose. They also appear in a circa 1540 portrait of William Palmer as a gentleman pensioner, available for viewing on the Royal Armories website. For similar examples, see Mowbray, British Military Swords, Volume I, pgs. 110-125. CONDITION: The guard retains a brown patina and the grip is a modern replacement, but acceptable for a such a rare early example. The hole in the pommel does not meet the opposite branch in the guard, perhaps indicating that it originally held a vertical branch with a screw connecting it to the pommel, as in some other surviving examples. Blade retains a brown patina with some areas of heavier patina. Blade Length: 32" Overall Length: 38"

(A) FINE PAIR OF SCOTTISH FLINTLOCK PISTOLS BY JOHN CAMPBELL ATTRIBUTED TO KENNETH MACKENZIE, LEADER

Lot #2386 (Sale Order 300 of 517)

According to "The Scottish Pistol" by Martin Kelvin, only 42 total pistols, inclusive of 18 pairs, made by John Campbell the 2nd of Doune, who worked between 1750 and 1775, are in existence.

Engraved steel belt hooks mounted on left sides, opposite locks. Engraved silver ball triggers and touchhole picks. Turned steel ramrods. The last time that these pistols were offered, research by a previous owner suggested that Kenneth Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Seaforth, was the most likely owner, as he used this version of the clan motto and crest. During the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, Kenneth's grandfather William, the 5th Earl of Seaforth, supported the claim of the pretender James Stuart against George I of England. After the Jacobites were defeated, William was attainted, making his property and titles forfeit, and further preventing him from passing them to his children. Kenneth would eventually repurchase the estates from the government, and held a number of titles, including Viscount Fortrose and Baron Ardelve from November 1766, Member of Parliament for Caithness, 1768-1774, made 1st Earl of Seaforth in December, 1771, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society the following year. As the hostilities with America had depleted British manpower, Mackenzie raised the 78th Seaforth Highlander Regiment on December 29th, 1771, and in 1781 he sailed to India with them as their Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, but died en route, with a burial at sea. He was succeeded as Chief of the Mackenzies by Thomas Frederick Mackenzie Humberston, a cousin. CONDITION: Pistols polished bright showing some light wear to engraving and scattered small areas of pitting, heavier and more prevalent on one pistol. Both locks function well and properly and signatures are excellent. Silver oval escutcheons have very crisp engraving. Ball triggers and picks are original.

This is a true buffalo rifle in that the barrel breech is taller than the frame. It fits a 45-70 but the chamber is 1/4" too short. Since caliber is not marked, would advise a chamber cast.

The case color receiver is marked with Remington legend on tang. The mid-range tang sight is period but was added to this rifle, at the time, as the rear mounting hole runs through the legend.

Lot #2545 (Sale Order 458 of 517)

The No. 4 , which comes in the medium calibers, does not show as having a loop lever.

It features double set triggers (working), a plain pistol grip walnut Schuetzen style stock with roll over cheek piece and brass Swiss butt plate. The stock has a metal color or buffer installed at wrist, most likely due to the fact that these Ballards tend to get hairlines at wrist as does this example on both sides. The forearm has three holes meant to mount a palm rest. The mounted octagon to round barrel features holes in face for a false muzzle loading guide. The top of barrel is stamped M. S. HENDRICK .

This is an interesting gun. The serial number on the receiver is 2890.

Under the barrel is now stamped "38-55" along with stamp of George W Gemmill, Troy, New York, who was a custom gunsmith until he died in 1914.
