Custom Ruger Blackhawk Single Action Revolver with Factory Brass Frame Lot #1143 (Sale Order 144 of 667) serial #45-20922, 45 Colt, 4 5/8” factory barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1972-manufactured Blackhawk retain about 97% original blue, showing a few light handling marks with a 1/4" scratch near the mouth of the ejector rod housing, with the factory brass frame showing light handling marks and very mild tarnish. The smooth walnut grips with silver-on-black Ruger Eagle medallions rate very good showing light handling wear. It is equipped with the factory adjustable rear with square-notch blade and a serrated ramp front with high-visibility insert and this example has not been subject to Ruger’s transfer bar safety upgrade. This revolver is identified by serial number as a 7 1/2" Blackhawk in 45 Colt with brass frame on p. 381 of Dougan’s Ruger Pistols & Revolvers; this example matches in both its frame, number, and chambering, but instead sports a 4 5/8” factory barrel which has been equipped with a PolyChoke ventilated rib which rates excellent; the barrel and ejector rod assembly are undoubtedly factory, supported by their markings and fit, though it is nigh impossible without lettering to determine if the barrel started at its current length, was professionally altered by an unknown gunsmith, or altered by Ruger themselves. The factory brass gripframe shows expected and crisp casting marks, showing “DJ [in circle]” next to an “I” over a crisp “MR-3DB”, and the cylinder is stamped with an “S” and scratch-marked with a “D”. The action is markedly light and smooth and timing and lockup are sound. The lovingly-named “Brassies” were produced for only three years in this chambering, with roughly 1,500 units in 1972 being fitted with factory brass frames, and such examples have enjoyed continuing appreciation and collector interest.

A very respectable example of these early US martial rifles for the antique arms collector. (13C11816-2) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Winchester Pre ’64 Model 70 Bolt Action Rifle Lot #1209 (Sale Order 210 of 667) serial #273745, 338 Win Magnum, 25” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1953-made rifle retain about 92-95% original blue with light wear on high edges, the matte blue receiver showing light marks from optics bases, and some scattered light handling marks and specks of old oxidation. The bolt remains bright with some minor operational wear and light staining on the knob, and the extractor retains nearly all its blue. The checkered pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good plus condition with a few light handling marks, a few small spots of flaking finish, and some light bubbling from contact with a contaminant at the stock tip; the stock is fit with a Pachmayr White Line ventilated recoil pad providing an about 13 1/2” length of pull. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, and the underside of the bolt is lightly numbered to the rifle. The rifle is sighted with a ramped silver bead front sight and a folding adjustable u-notch rear sight, and sling swivels are in place on forend and toe line. Though the serial number dates to 1953, and production of 338 Win Mag Model 70 Alaskan not occurring until June of 1959, the rifle shows no evidence of amateur barrel replacement with no vice marks apparent, and all the metal parts showing comparable amounts of wear. It seems most likely that this rifle is the result of either a forgotten receiver being finally assembled into a rifle, as Winchester was not strict about assembly rifles in serial number order, or a previously purchased rifle factory rebarreled. Nonetheless, the rifle is a very good example of these classic Winchester rifles, well suited to large or dangerous game. Included are a pair of Redfield bases. (14B11854-2) {C&R} (1500/2000)

U.S. M1 Carbine by Standard Products Lot #1210 (Sale Order 211 of 667) serial #2233274, 30 Carbine, 18” 3-44 dated Underwood barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing a spot of light oxidation at the muzzle.

The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, the hammer is “W” marked and the trigger housing Inland-marked, and the remaining marked parts showing Standard Product codes; it is known that both Inland and Winchester parts were shared with Standard Products, and therefore may very well be correct to this carbine. The carbine features a 2-position aperture rear sight, a button safety, flat bolt, and Type II barrel band. Included is a “IU” marked 15-round magazine showing wear at the top, light staining, and pinprick pitting, green canvas sling, and oiler. Standard Products produced about 4% of all M1 Carbines, this example appearing largely correct. (14A11835-2) {C&R} (1200/1800)

Interesting DWM Model 1906 Commercial Luger Pistol Lot #1219 (Sale Order 220 of 667) serial #27395, 30 Luger, 6” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a peculiar Luger pistol, built on an old-style “long” frame with rebated triggerguard and no stock lug, and equipped with long tapered 6” barrel. The pistol shows commercial “(Crown) / N” proofs and a small “GERMANY” import mark on the left frame rail indicating it was indeed “officially” imported into this country no doubt pre-First World War. Another peculiarity is the fact that none of the usual parts are serial-numbered, even the front edge of the frame where the full serial number is normally located is blank and appears to always have been, instead there is a large hand-stamped number in period serifed font at the rear of the frame “27395”. The pistol remains in nice condition retaining about 90-92% original blue appearing stronger under ambient light showing some overall fading and toning to a pleasant gray-brown patina under bright light, some silvering along the high edges and light handling marks. The small parts retain lovely rich straw color throughout showing a little mild silvering and the sear spring, right grip screw and a few of the pins with nice fire blue. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good plus condition showing a few areas of lightly chipped or compressed points and the left panel with some slivers missing along the back edge near the grip safety. The grips otherwise retain excellent fit and are un-numbered on their interiors, the inside of the left panel does have the name “BILL” lightly carved into it. The frame bears no safety markings, shows typical DWM toggle monogram and the pistol is equipped with standard un-grooved firing pin and “GELADEN”-marked extractor. One bright-bodied magazine with unmarked wood base is included, the body having mostly toned to a mild gray patina. The action seems to function well mechanically. Acquired by Mr. Gaines from John Gangel in 1995. A very interesting Luger pistol for the advanced collector, perhaps some sort of prototype later sold commercially or a specially-ordered example.

The metal surfaces retain about 70% original blue with light wear on high edge and contact points, the gripstraps worn largely to gray-brown, thinning, and some scattered small spots of light pitting. The small parts retain very good hot salt blue with light high edge wear. The checkered walnut grips are in good condition with wear softening the checkering and a few older light dings, the right panel numbered “36” and the left panel showing faint old hand writing, the cursive script largely illegible but perhaps being a former owners name. The 1937 chamber date and other metal markings remain crisp, the side of the receiver showing proper “(eagle) / 63” waffenamts and droopwing Eagle firing proof, the barrel showing the same, and all the numbered parts are matching to the pistol including the grooved firing pin. The pistol retains the standard open sights and included is a bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing scattered light freckling, the base numbered “1479h” with a “(eagle) / 63” waffenamt. A solid S/42 for the Luger collector. (14A11728-172) {C&R} (1200/1800)

The metal surfaces retain about 97-98% arsenal gray-green Parkerized finish with silvering on the front sight base, some scattered light handling marks, and a few specks of oxidation staining. The M2 bolt remains bright with the shroud retaining nearly all its dark Parkerized finish. The pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good plus condition with a few scattered light dings and handling marks, the comb showing impact marks matching the coarse checkering pattern of the steel buttplate, and the stock is marked with a partial circled “P” behind the triggerguard and a clear boxed “SA / R” cartouche on the left side of the butt. The receiver markings remain crisp, the second “I” and “B” suffix added during arsenal upgrade, the barrel markings slightly lightened but still readily legible, and the M2-marked bolt is electro-pencil numbered to the rifle.

U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Springfield Armory Lot #1222 (Sale Order 223 of 667) serial #4308134, 30-06, 24” 6-53 dated Springfield Armory barrel with some scattered specks in an otherwise bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this early 1950’s vintage rifle retain about 90% gray arsenal Parkerized finish with light wear on the high edges and contact points, scattered spots of minor oxidation, and areas of light thinning. The walnut stock and handguards are in very good plus condition as lightly cleaned and perhaps with an older added finish, with a few light dings and handling marks, a filler-repaired ding behind the pistolgrip, and a small vacant screw hole at the toe with a second filled hole next to it, and the steel buttplate retains about 80% later added blue and is proud in spots. The right side of the buttstock is faintly marked “AA / 27066”, and appears otherwise devoid of markings. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, a small T.G.A. import mark tucked beneath the operating rod, the marked parts including the relief cut operating rod show Springfield Armory drawing numbers, and the right receiver leg is scratch marked “SA / 9-63” denoting an arsenal refurbishment. Quite curiously, the bolt and receiver show faint “(crown) / BNP” proofs and the barrel is marked with crisp British export proofs between the gas cylinder rings, appearing to be of late 1970’s vintage; the rifle is definitively not a lend-lease example. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, a stamped triggerguard, and 2-slot gas cylinder screw. A solid M1 rifle with quite a curious history, offering a possible research opportunity. (14B11901-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)

Interesting Robert Schrader Boxlock Drilling With Patented Stutzen-Length Rifle Barrel Lot #1287 (Sale Order 288 of 667) serial #23058, 16 ga (2 1/2”) over 8x57R-360, 28” shotgun barrels choked improved modified and full with mostly bright about very good bores, the right bore showing a small shallow dent about 9” back from the muzzle and the left showing some moderate pitting for a few inches ahead of the chamber. The rifle barrel is 17 3/4” with a mostly bright very good bore showing some fine pitting and oxidation for a couple of inches ahead of the chamber and otherwise strong rifling throughout. This is an interesting drilling that shows May 1942 proof date, no doubt representing a later reproof, and equipped with short rifle barrel and Schrader’s patented safety lock cocking lever beneath the triggerguard. The barrels retain about 90% of a period restored rust blue showing some scattered areas thinning to gray-brown patina, light dings and some fine pinprick pitting beneath the blue in some areas. The arm was obviously used during the period after this refinish (likely done around the time of the 1942 proof) as there is finish loss along the underside of the shotgun barrel from the rifle blast. The rifle barrel is neatly engraved with “DRGM” patent mark behind the muzzle and also marked “254A M.SCHMIDT Z-M” on the underside beneath the forend. The action shows nice dark matte gray case-hardening throughout along with some sparse minor speckling and the lever with some vibrant colors. The action is tastefully embellished with light filigree foliate scrollwork and simple bordering, the top of action with fine stippled matting. The horn lever tip shows a few insect bites while the horn tang is near excellent. The checkered pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition retaining strong original finish with the expected scattered light dings and handling marks along with a thin 1/2” crack right of the upper tang that is missed at first glance. The checkering remains mostly strong and stock fit remains very nice with well-defined left-side cheekpiece. Features European sling swivels and a somewhat dried-out and flattened solid red rubber pad that currently measures a length-of-pull of about 14 1/8”. The barrels are fitted with a set of German claw mount bases, the front obscuring some of the original maker’s markings, and are sighted with a pair of flip-up rifle sights and silver bead front. Barrel lock-up is solid showing a faint sliver of light between breech and standing breech and the action with front rifle set trigger and upper selector lever seems to function well mechanically. The lever is pushed forward to open the action, pulled back to cock the strikers and on safe when resting in the middle position. Weight is 6 lbs. 9 oz. and the short rifle barrel contributes to lightening the muzzle end for quick pointing. (13C11108-54) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)

Attractive American Fullstock Flintlock Sporting Rifle with Fine Inlays Lot #1290 (Sale Order 291 of 667) .32 cal, 40” octagon barrel with an oxidized bore. This nice rifle has been neatly reconverted to flint utilizing antique components, the barrel with what appears to be an old blackened finish over old oxidation and light pitting.

There are additional small silver shields and embellished ovals inlaid along the sides of the buttstock while the left-side scant cheekpiece has a beautiful pierced starburst motif in silver. Brass hardware includes the heavy nosecap, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, thin triggerguard with small rear spur, attractive solid sideplate with slightly beveled edges, crescent buttplate, toe plate and a very nice large pierced patchbox with light foliate embellishments, bordering and starburst on cover. The curly maple stock remains in very fine condition showing a few scattered thin drying cracks mostly along the forend edges and a thin chip missing left of the upper tang. The wood exhibits some nice tiger stripe grain figure throughout and the sides of the butt show some carved light foliate motifs. Stock fit to the hardware remains quite nice throughout and a slightly long simple hickory ramrod is present. The rifle is sighted with a simple fine v-notch rear sight and silver blade front and the lock is equipped with a rear curved set trigger and straight firing trigger. The lock is single acting and is a bit stiff and not very crisp but generally seems to function normally. This is a lovely rifle likely made in Pennsylvania or Ohio with some particularly attractive furniture. (13B11579-40) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)

Austrian Flintlock Officers Pistol by Felix Meier of Vienna Lot #1306 (Sale Order 307 of 667) .62 cal, 10 5/8” barrel with slightly swamped barrel and a moderately oxidized bore.

The trigger terminates into a nice curlicue and the fancy brass hardware shows remnants of its original gold wash throughout and wide foliate motifs and busts of figures. The sideplate is in lovely pierced foliate form and the walnut stock rates good as partially restored, the forward 8” having been replaced with a later piece of walnut and much simpler brass ramrod thimble and tailpipe. The original section at the rear shows a few scattered minor drying cracks and light dings with somewhat softened raised foliate borders and some hints of nice grain figure. The lock is a bit stiff but seems to function normally. This is a good example of a quality Viennese pistol from the early 1700s that was no doubt quite lovely in its day.

Collath Tesco Underlever Drilling Lot #1311 (Sale Order 312 of 667) serial #115370, 16 ga (2 5/8”) over 7x57R, 24 1/2” Wittener Excelsior barrels choked about improved cylinder with bright excellent bores, the shotgun bores with a little mild stubborn fouling and the rifle barrel with crisp rifling throughout. The barrels of this nice Tesco-era Collath retain about 70% original blue showing some overall thinning to a pleasant mild gray-brown patina, an area of more moderate toning to pewter gray along the left side barrel and some other light handling marks. The action has mostly toned to an attractive silvery case-hardened patina and is embellished in full coverage with lovely Germanic oak leaf motifs and very fine game scenes of stag, doe and hare on right, two foxes and a hare on left, duck on bottom and upper tang with profiles of roebuck, doe and hare. All embellishments remain crisp and exhibit the lovely execution one would expect on a Collath gun. The three cartridge trap cover along the toe line continues with the fine oak leaf motifs and another scene with auerhahn. The horn triggerguard, underlever, fluted grip cap and grooved buttplate all rate very fine to near excellent showing just a few light handling marks and a little subtle fine crackling along the buttplate. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and forend remain in about very good condition as carefully cleaned and refinished showing a small repaired chip at the upper tang and a very well executed repair to a break at the wrist that one must very closely examine to discern. There is a slight gap against the left side of the action, the checkering remain quite strong and the wood exhibits some lovely grain figure throughout. The stock features left-side cheekpiece and the arm is equipped with sling swivels, wing style safety atop tang, front rifle set trigger and barrel selector lever on right side next to the guard that automatically flips up the u-notch rifle rear sight upon selection. The front sight is a silver bead and the rib has bases for claw mounts. The action seems to function well mechanically and the barrels lock-up nicely. This is a very attractive Collath drilling in a nice configuration. (13C11108-145) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1800/2200) |

W. Collath Jones-Style Underlever Drilling Lot #1312 (Sale Order 313 of 667) serial #13102, about 16 ga over 9.3x65, 28” Wittener Excelsior Specialstahl barrels with mostly bright shotgun bores showing a little sparse oxidation, small ding in right bore a few inches back from muzzle and some evident tooling marks in the chambers while the rifle barrel is bright and very fine with light frosting and crisp rifling. The shotgun chambers were perhaps modified during the period of use and strangely the undersides show both a circled “16” designation and Collath’s number “3” code which would indicate 14 gauge, but 16 gauge seems to chamber fine with very little play though the rim dimensions are a bit off. This example also utilizes a Jones-style underlever rather than the more familiar horn forend underlever and a small set screw is present at the nose to better retain the takedown pin. The barrels retain about 80% of a fine quality period restored rust blue appearing strong under ambient light with overall toning to a pleasant smooth gray-brown patina, a few light handling marks and some sparse pinprick pits. The action is mostly a nice smoky gray case-hardened patina with some mild gray-brown undertones and is embellished in full coverage with good quality Germanic oak leaf motifs and handsome scenes of a fox and hare on right, dog and game birds on left and the upper tang with portraits of roebuck and doe. The three-cartridge trap along the toe line is embellished with a traditional German hunter. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in good condition showing some added semi-gloss varnish with scattered light dings and the most noticeable apology being a 2 3/4” slightly flexing crack along the left side of the wrist and smaller check on the right that can probably be addressed by a skilled wood man. The checkering remains mostly strong and the wood exhibits some rather nice figure throughout. The horn pistolgrip cap shows mild wear and the smooth ebony buttplate is intact. The stock features left-side cheekpiece and the arm is equipped with sling swivels, wing style safety atop tang, front rifle set trigger and barrel selector lever on right side next to the guard that automatically flips up the u-notch rifle rear sight upon selection. The front sight is a silver bead and the rib has a pair of bases to accommodate a single-claw mount system. Barrel lock-up exhibits a little lateral play and the action otherwise seems to function normally. (13B11108-144) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (1200/1800)

California Percussion Halfstock Schuetzen Rifle by A. Schneider Lot #1313 (Sale Order 314 of 667) .36 cal, 35” heavy octagon Remington cast steel barrel drilled for false muzzle with a bright very fine bore showing a few small areas of light oxidation and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. The barrel retains a healthy amount of original plum-brown finish mixing with some deep gray patina and showing some scattered old oxidation speckling. The top flat shows light hand-matting and there is a 3/4” dovetail at the rear filled-in with a piece of old walnut and flanked by maker’s information “A. SCHNEIDER S.F. CAL.” The underside of the barrel shows a Remington stamp along with “9 3/4”. The lockplate, breech plug and upper tang are a mostly a smoky gray case-hardened patina, the breech with a single gold band and large swirling bolster. The lockplate is rather spartan with simple “A. SCHNEIDER” maker stamp. The iron trigger plate terminates to an oval escutcheon where a palm rest could be mounted, currently holding a filler screw. Fitting includes pewter nosecap and German silver wedge escutcheons, fancy spur triggerguard, schuetzen buttplate and lock screw escutcheon. The walnut stock is in classic California style with long thin checkering points and nice leaf-shaped shadowline cheekpiece on the left side. The stock rates very good plus showing a 3 1/2” flexing crack through the right wedge escutcheon and otherwise just some scattered light dings and handling marks. The stock retains nice edges throughout and an attractive honest appearance with some fine grain figure along the right side of the buttstock. The rifle is sighted with an older replacement adjustable tang sight with small aperture disc and target globe front with very fine bead-on-post. A slightly long simple brass-tipped ramrod is present along with false muzzle and starter. The barrel wedge is a bit ill-fitting and the lock is single acting with rear set trigger and fine straight firing trigger. The lock will require mechanical attention as the set is not functional leaving no way to drop the hammer when it is cocked. A very nice California schuetzen rifle by Alois Schneider.

There appear to be two neatly filled holes along the upper tang and the trigger plate is drilled to accept a palm rest (not present).

A simple hickory ramrod is present and the lock with double set triggers seems to function normally. A fine schuetzen rifle by Rudolph Grimm.

Smith & Wesson Second Model Ladysmith Revolver Lot #1327 (Sale Order 328 of 667) serial #6779, 22 RF, 3” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95-96% original nickel finish showing a few small areas of fine flaking to gray-brown patina scattered about, a few thin scratches and other light handling marks. All markings remain crisp and the hammer and trigger retain nice vibrant case-hardened colors throughout. The ejector rod head shows some generous smoky colors as well and the cylinder release retains strong dark gray oil-quenched case-hardening. The revolver wears a set of smooth factory mother-of-pearl grips with gold S&W medallions remaining in excellent condition exhibiting some slight yellowing along the edges and showing one tiny sliver missing at the top right corner of the right panel. They are un-numbered as is typical and their fit is very fine. The serialized parts are matching and, strangely, the original trigger return spring/rebound lever has been lost to the years and replaced with a rather rudimentary ad-hoc spring arrangement that otherwise seems to be a functional replacement as the action remains functional with timing just a hair off in single action and otherwise good lock-up. A nice example of these popular little Smith & Wesson revolvers. (13B10826-549) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (1500/2000)

All of the embellishments and the factory barrel address and patent dates are intact and strong. The revolver wears a set of smooth mother-of-pearl grips rating very fine left and very good right, the right panel with some light chips along the top edges. The action will require some mechanical attention in single action as the hammer notches are worn though it seems to function normally in double action. The included black paper-covered box remains in fine condition showing some fading and scuffing along the exterior, the end label with some flaked areas but correct for the gun. The base shows numerous faded numbers, many of which were crossed out, and the interior lid label is intact. An interesting example. (13B10826-379) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W.

Contemporary Heavy Underhammer Percussion Slug Gun by K.R. Bresien Lot #1343 (Sale Order 344 of 667) .377 cal, 30 5/8” extra heavy round barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 85% original blue showing some scattered light handling marks and most of the loss due to some areas of lightly cleaned oxidation along the underside back from the muzzle. The barrel is neatly inscribed “K.R. Bresien” and the tang shows some nice tasteful foliate engraving throughout. A set of Fecker rings are present which hold an apparently unmarked vintage-style telescopic sight that shows moderate thinning blue and light handling marks with crosshair reticle and very good somewhat discolored but serviceable optics, appearing to be about 10 power or so. The blackened curly maple stock rates very good plus showing some scattered light dings and a shallow chip at the heel. The stock exhibits lovely grain figure throughout and is carved with a large folky eagle clutching a shield and cross on the left side. The buttplate is checkered steel, there is an additional target base for a front sight and the original false muzzle is included. The rifle features primer ignition and the action will require a little mechanical attention as the hammer will push off and the barrel-to-frame securing pin is missing but these will likely be simple fixes for a competent gunsmith. The rifle also includes the bottom half of a custom hardwood case fitted for the arm and a selection of lead bullets. An interesting heavy slug gun from the well-regarded Ken Bresien. Weight is just shy of 24 lbs. and extra shipping will apply. (13A11821-1) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

British Pattern 1800 Baker Flintlock Rifle Lot #1344 (Sale Order 345 of 667) .69 cal, 30 1/4” barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing old pitting and rather strong rifling throughout. The barrel is toning to a mix of gunmetal and plum-brown patina showing an old cleaning with remnants of oxidation and light pitting. The barrel appears to be a replacement as there are evident vise marks around the breech and the touch hole is not quite lined up properly with the lock but it otherwise appears to be an original British military barrel and was updated during the period of use to accept the socket bayonet. The lockplate is mostly a medium gray-brown patina with strong “TOWER” mark at rear, visible “(Crown) / GR” Royal Cypher in center and strong broad arrow proof mark, the top jaw screw is a later replacement but the other parts appear original. The upper tang screw head is broken and both the rear sight and front sight are missing. The brass hardware is a mild ocher patina showing scattered light dings and handling marks. The walnut stock rates very good plus showing small chips by the nose and some thin slivers and splinters along the edges of the forend otherwise with a rather nice honest appearance overall. The left-side cheekpiece retains very fine edges and there are softened but visible inspector stamps along the left flat and a Board of Ordnance stamp ahead of the patch box. The forward sling swivel is missing and an original ramrod is present showing “A / 56” marking. The lock is crisp though the release of the hammer is a bit sticky. A very respectable example of these early British martial rifles. (13A11896-238) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

Fine Eaglehead Mounted Infantry Officer’s Saber Lot #1348 (Sale Order 349 of 667) 31” curved blade with broad fullers. This attractive saber remains in fine condition and is etched with wide foliate motifs and gold gilded foliate flourishes, the obverse with liberty caps and the reverse with stands of arms and a nice somewhat folky etched Federal Eagle with “E. Pluribus Unum” in foliate riband. The blade retains perhaps 70% nice brilliant fire blue terminating in foliate tendrils and mixing with some areas of old oxidation staining. The remaining surfaces of the blade shows generous flashes of their original bright polish with some areas of old light pitting approaching the ricasso and tip. The main edge shows some old nicks and dings to be expected but they are relatively minor. The brass mounts are a pleasant ocher patina showing some scattered old dings and a few areas of verdigris along with a healthy amount of original tarnished silver finish. The characteristic eaglehead pommel remains well defined and handsome while the original reeded ivory grip is in lovely condition displaying a rich patina and nice fit throughout. A correct style original leather scabbard with brass mounts is included though it appears to be for a slightly shorter blade (perhaps 29” or 30”), or some material was lost at the tip long ago. The scabbard is otherwise in fine condition with some overall light flaking and hardening of the leather and the stitched seam mostly intact. The mounts are loose and perhaps show an old light cleaning now toned to a pale goldenrod patina. This is a very handsome antique saber that would make a fine addition to any early American martial sword collection. (13C11968-3) (1000/1500)

Published East German Reworked Walther ac41 P.38 Pistol Lot #1358 (Sale Order 359 of 667) serial #7851d, 9mm, 5” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a nice example of a rather scarce East German rework designated as the “Type E” variant by P.38 scholar Warren Buxton and was previously part of his collection, being pictured on page 36 of his book The P.38 Pistol Vol. 3. This variant is characterized by the use of old frame and slides and first lot of barrels produced by East Germany. The slide and frame retain about 90% arsenal-refurbished blue showing some scattered high edge wear, light handling marks and some fine pinprick pits beneath the finish. The barrel retains about 97% original blue and the pistol bears an assortment of markings such as East German “(Crown) / N” proofs, later eagle and (Crown) / U” stamped over the Reichsadler firing proof on the frame, “25” within a shield and starburst East German mark on the triggerguard and the original World War Two era proofs along the right side of the slide are intact and unmolested. The frame serial number has been restamped by the East German arsenal and the barrel shows the distinctive tapered step of this variant. The left grip panel is a later black plastic variant while the right is a World War Two era dark brown phenolic resin both in very fine condition with some scattered light handling marks. One jvd-coded magazine is included and the serialized parts are matching as East German arsenal-numbered. A fine example of a rather obscure variant.

Unmarked Germanic Flintlock Horse Pistol Lot #1478 (Sale Order 478 of 667) .60 cal, 13 1/2” part round part octagon barrel with turned medial at point of transition and slightly swamped muzzle, the bore moderately oxidized. Though not maker-marked this pistol is very Germanic in style and was reconverted to flint long ago, appearing to utilize the original lockplate and antique components that certainly look the part. The metal surfaces show an old cleaning with remnants of light pitting and oxidation staining, a few pits along the wood line of the barrel and touch hole area more moderate. There are some light foliate embellishments along the barrel and lock, the lock fitted with a cock of rather fancy construction and unbridled frizzen, the left barrel flat also showing a small crown over a six-pointed star touch mark. The remaining hardware is of iron featuring a curlicue trigger, foliate triggerguard finial, heavy dual-strapped butt cap, monogram plate atop wrist and a very nice pierced sideplate with dragons, foliate motifs and a face behind the rear lock screw. The walnut stock remains in about good condition, the forward 7” of the forend showing a failed repair and is now loose along with some other thin missing slivers and old repairs here and there. The raised edges around the hardware otherwise remains well-defined and there is a simple hickory ramrod present. The pistol is sighted with a scant brass blade and the lock seems to function well mechanically. A very good early European flintlock pistol. (13B11579-8) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

The silver monogram plate along the toe line is un-engraved, the forend wedge escutcheons are also of silver and the forend featured double-lipped horn tip. The barrels lock-up solid on-face and the right hammer drags a bit on the top edge of the bolster but the locks otherwise function crisply and the hammers are in-time. A fine example of an early Westley Richards cartridge gun, the pinfire system not being utilized very long by the company. (13B11621-77) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

German Boxlock Double Ejectorgun by Heinrich Leue Lot #1481 (Sale Order 481 of 667) serial #1432, 12 ga (2 1/2”), 28” chopper lump barrels choked improved cylinder in both with bright very fine bores showing some sparsely scattered spots of pinprick pitting. The barrels of this fine quality German double retain about 92% of an older good quality re-blacking showing some scattered thin scratches along the undersides and some areas of slight discoloration under bright light. There is a pair of small filler screws on the underside rib where sling swivel hardware was removed and the top rib retains good maker markings “H. LEUE HOFLIEFERANT WAFFENFABRIK BERLIN” along with an engraved “1” at the rear. The undersides show a very small Thad Scott import mark. The action has mostly toned to a pleasant silvery gray case-hardened patina and features nicely raised and sculpted flats with embellishments in full coverage consisting primarily of tight filigree scrollwork along with a few smaller rose and oak leaf motifs. The bottom metal and triggerguard show fading rust blue with bottom metal marked “LEUE’S PATENT / No. 174828” which covers the combination rear under-bite and top bite barrel locking system. The top lever shows a gold inlaid coronet over “TC” monogram. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend with Anson-style button release remain in about very good plus condition as lightly cleaned showing scattered light dings, handling marks and rather worn checkering. There is a small, filled hole along the toe line where a sling swivel once was and the stock has rather nice little heart-shaped arrow inlays of horn behind the flats and exhibits some subtle attractive grain figure. Length-of-pull to the grooved horn buttplate is 14 3/8” with drops of 1 1/2” and 2”, the stock with slight cast-off. Weight is 6 lbs. 14 oz., the action features sideclips and the barrels lock-up solid on-face though the action will require mechanical attention as the triggers are stuck and do not fire the gun and, probably related to this, the safety is stuck in the off position. Heinrich Leue acted as W.W. Greener’s associate in Germany and this appears to be a high quality gun worthy of getting running again. (13C11621-116) {C&R} (800/1200) |

There is an antique ramrod included which is likely a replacement from the period of use. Francis Reynolds was active in New York City from about 1839-1867. The engraving and style of work very closely matches a cartridge arm made by Reynolds pictured in The New York State Firearms Trade by Swinney-Lewis-Blackburn. A quality New York rifle that has seen some honest use but retains a fine bore. (13B11804-13) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (800/1200)

German System Pachmayr Zimmerstutzen Lot #1483 (Sale Order 483 of 667) 4mm, 27 1/2” octagon “barrel”, 7” true barrel with a bright excellent bore.

The Kadenach was a German interwar camaraderie organization for former intelligence and telegraph troops who served in the Great War. The rifle is sighted with its original adjustable tang sight with wide aperture and protected front sight with three selectable posts. The double set triggers seem to function well and the lever serves to cock the striker and automatically flip open the zimmerstutzen breech mechanism after firing.

Experimental British Pattern 1856 Percussion Short Rifle by A. Francotte Lot #1484 (Sale Order 484 of 667) .50 cal., 33” barrel with five-groove rifling and a bright about very good plus bore showing light pitting throughout the strong rifling. This Liege-made rifle, according to the included note from the consignor, respected Civil War collector David Warne, is a rare experimental gun made when the British were considering replacing the .577 cal. The barrel, bands, triggerguard, and buttplate have aged to a mottled mix of light and dark gray patina with overall spots of old light oxidation and light pitting with the pitting perhaps more light-moderate around the breech and bolster. The lockplate is toning to a pewter-gray case-hardened patina with speckles of fine pinprick pitting and is clearly stamped “A. Francotte / A Liege.” There are a few Belgian proofs on the left side of the breech and on the barrel tang, and inspection marks on the small parts. The walnut stock rates fine with a coat of added finish, and the buttstock has been cleaned with the left side of the buttstock lightly reprofiled. There is an unobtrusive rectangular wood repair on the toe line and multiple small nail stabilized cracks on the right side of the buttstock which are also unobtrusive. There is a moderate 1 1/4” scratch on the left side of the buttstock, some wear behind the triggerguard tang, and a few other minor handling marks. There are softened “AF” in oval inspection marks on the left stock flat and the top of the wrist, and the remnant of an inspection mark on the heel. The front sight is a dovetailed German silver blade, the rear sight, ramrod, bayonet bar, and sling swivels are intact, the nipple is a later replacement, and the action is strong and crisp. An interesting and very respectable example in an unusual caliber. (23B10575-63) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

The lock with set trigger seems to function normally. (13B11579-4) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

The hammer appears to have been originally made spurless though shows some other damage as the right edge along the top is chipped off and the nose has broken off long ago as well and the base pin retainer screw is an old replacement. The checkered walnut grip remains in about very good plus condition with scattered lightly chipped points and dings. The cylinder is matching the frame, the hammer block safety is intact and the action generally seems to function well mechanically with good timing and lock-up, the trigger needing some manual reset assistance every now and then. A very good example of these fine quality British revolvers that proved popular during the Civil War. (13B11896-227) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

The action is a pleasant mix of pale gray-brown and silvery case-hardened patina embellished in full coverage with fine oak leaf motifs and handsome game scenes of fox and pheasant right, dog and hare left and the upper tang with profiles of stag, roebuck and auerhahn. The horn triggerguard rates about good with a break in the forward root while the underlever and pistolgrip cap are very fine. The checkered walnut pistolgrip buttstock and smooth forend rate about very good plus with generous original finish and some overall light dings and handling marks. Stock features left-side cheekpiece and smooth rosewood buttplate that shows some light dings along the toe. The action seems to function normally, barrel lock-up is solid and the arm is equipped with sling swivels and wing style safety atop tang. (13B11108-24) {C&R} [Tom Devers Collection] (800/1200)

The rifle is sighted with a fine u-notch rear sight and copper blade front, a simple hickory ramrod is present and the lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. A very good rifle from Washington County, Ohio. (13A11108-93) {ANTIQUE} [Tom Devers Collection] (800/1200)

The metal surfaces of this 1882-made rifle have thinned to a medium gunmetal gray-brown patina with silver accented high edges, speckled pitting, and light abrasions throughout. The barrel exhibits impact marks mostly confined to areas around the sights while the magazine tube shows some dings and scratches particularly around the magazine hanger.

The barrel markings have softened over time yet remain legible however the “32 Cal.” markings on both the barrel and carrier remain crisp. The straight grip walnut stock appears to have one repaired crack behind the upper tang with some of the edges a little bit shy of the metal while the forend shows chips on either side of the woodline and a repaired crack near the endcap; both of which have been nicely refinished accenting the prominent grain. The rifle is sighted with a coarsely knurled Lyman combination tang sight, a checkered factory sporting rear sight, and a blade front sight with a copper bead. (24B11871-1) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)

The police sear safety is intact and the magazine disconnect has been removed, as often is the case, leaving a small notch in the left side of the frame. Included is a bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing some fine oxidation staining, the base likely period numbered to the pistol with “2” marked above and below the serial number. A nice long-serving Weimar-era police Luger. (14A11728-173) {C&R} (800/1200)

Exceptional Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special Airweight Hand Ejector Revolver Lot #1510 (Sale Order 510 of 667) serial #24112, 38 Special, 1 7/8” barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely four-screw revolver was produced in 1953 and remains in excellent condition. The revolver retains about 98% original blue and anodized finishes showing light muzzle wear, a very fine line of wear on the edge of one flute, and minor handling marks. The service trigger and hammer retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The grips are an anomaly on this gun, as early J-frames had a frame about 1/8” shorter than the remainder of production. The grips on this gun are cut for the shorter frame, however they are correctly serial numbered on one panel and assembly numbered on the other to this gun. They are diamond checkered walnut factory Magna grips with silver S&W medallions and are in excellent condition with a tiny chip at the top front edge of the left grip. All the appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun although the crane lacks a serial number but is correctly assembly numbered to the frame. It has the standard fixed sights, features the early aluminum cylinder and appears to function mechanically. It includes a mismatched box labeled to a Model 37 with accessories. A desirable must have revolver for J-frame collections. (8B10826-410) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (800/1200)

Michigan Swivel Breech Percussion Buck & Ball Gun by E.K. Purdy Lot #1522 (Sale Order 522 of 667) About .44 cal in both, 34” round barrels with moderate oxidized bores, the rifle barrel with evident rifling. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a mix of deep plum-brown patina and dark gray showing scattered old oxidation and some considerable erosion around the rifle’s nipple bolster from honest period use, the shotgun barrel apparently having seen less use.

The barrel catch is actuated by a small round button atop the upper tang and the barrels are sighted with semi-buckhorn rear sights and a silver blade front for rifle and silver bead for shotgun. The barrels lock-up with moderate play and the hammer appears to be bent in slightly but the lock is functional.

Unmarked German Flintlock Jager Rifle Lot #1641 (Sale Order 641 of 667) About .55 cal, 27 1/2” octagon barrel with slightly swamped muzzle and a partially bright good bore showing light pitting and oxidation in the grooves and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces are mostly a mix of gunmetal and gray-brown patina showing some overall remnants of very light old pitting, a bit of oxidation present along the breech and lock parts. The touch hole area appears to have been cleaned and neatened up but the arm appears to be otherwise original flint. The barrel appears to have been maker marked but it is no longer legible and the banana-shaped lockplate features wide beveled edges, unbridled frizzen and frizzen spring with lightly chiseled extension. The remaining hardware is brass consisting of large faceted ramrod thimble and tailpipe, triggerguard, buttplate and solid sideplate that show some light dings and handling marks toning to a pleasant ocher patina. The walnut stock rates very good as lightly cleaned and refinished long ago also showing some scattered small repairs and a repair to the forend where the forward 11” was neatly reaffixed. There are some scattered thin drying cracks and the stock otherwise retains nice edges along stock flats and cheekpiece, the flats with drop points at both ends and the cheekpiece with beaded edge and light foliate carving. The rifle is equipped with large Germanic sling swivels and brass-tipped hickory ramrod and it is sighted with v-notch sporting rear sight and brass blade front. The lock is single-acting with double set triggers and seems to function normally. A very good German Jager flintlock. (13A11804-9) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (700/900)

Scarce & Interesting German P27 Pistol by CZ Lot #1652 (Sale Order 652 of 667) 32 ACP, 4” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This unusual pistol retains 98% military high polish blue with light handling marks and high edge wear and the slide toning to plum. The small parts retain generous handsome straw color and the checkered brown synthetic grip remains excellent showing only light handling wear. The slide shows expected German model designation, the top of the slide bears a “BOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G. IN PRAG” legend, and the barrel shows a crisp “(eagle)/N” visible through the ejection port and an “(eagle)/WaA76” which has softened with the eagle being almost imperceptible but the code remaining legible. Included is a single unmarked magazine which rates very good plus showing remnants of the same handsome blue on the floorplate. This example is devoid of both indexed or electro-penciled serialization, and the only proofs or markings outside of the standard slide markings are found on the barrel; this interesting combination of features implies this may be among the earliest of these pistols manufactured under German occupation, with the slide legend not being adopted until 1941 and the frame being entirely devoid of any expected proofs, Czech or otherwise. An interesting and high condition example presenting a fine opportunity for further research. (26A11766-19) {C&R} (700/900)

The backstrap shows a gold filled likeness of Sam Colts signature, all the appropriate parts are correctly numbered to the gun, and it is cut for a shoulder stock. It is displayed in a lovely factory hardwood case with the Colt logo on the exterior, five blue-gray felt lined compartments on the interior. Accessories include a brass powder flask, two cavity mold, combination nipple wrench and screwdriver, a percussion cap tin marked Eley Bros, key for the case, and manual. All the accessories in this series have the likeness of Sam Colts signature, and the presentation case and accessories all rate excellent. A superb example for the collector or Civil War buff.
