(A) NARRAGANSETT ARMS REPLICA FERGUSON BREECH LOADING FLINTLOCK RIFLE. Lot #2043 (Sale Order 43 of 420) There is perhaps no Revolutionary War era firearms design so famous as Patrick Ferguson's breech loading rifle.

British troops fielded the Ferguson in limited numbers during the Revolution, just 100 officially procured for the army. Surviving examples are exceedingly scarce and highly prized by museums and collectors. Even reproductions are difficult to find, this example is numbered 073 out of the 250 produced by Narragansett Arms circa the 1990s. Rifle is finished in the white with replica proofs, including Patrick Ferguson's crown over "PF" at the breech. Blade front sight and 2-leaf rear. Stocked in figured walnut with a steel trigger guard and brass mounts. Includes blackened wood ramrod with brass tip. CONDITION: Very Good. Metal remains bright with some cleaned freckling on the lock plate and other evidence of light use. Stock has scattered light marks and an area of filler at the end of the lower tang. Crisp, well defined bore. Fine mechanics. Barrel Length: 33" Caliber/Bore: .65 Rifled FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Narragansett Arms Model: Ferguson Serial Number: 073

(C) SMITH & WESSON PRE WAR MODEL TRIPLE LOCK REVOLVER GIVEN AS CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM ELMER KEITH. Lot #2128 (Sale Order 126 of 420) This pre-war 5-screw has matching serial numbers on the cylinder and barrel. Built on the square butt N-frame. Referred to as the Triple Lock that was made from 1907-1915, this was one of famed gun writer Emer Keith's handguns and his favorite while developing the .357 Magnum cartridge. The back strap is inscribed "To Bob Thomson from Elmer Keith 12-25, 1965", obviously as a Christmas gift. Given that the gun was made decades earlier and was customized, it was more than likely one of Keith's personal guns that he knew his friend envied. In addition to being replated, the barrel was shortened, standard half moon front sight reset and the "triple lock" at yoke has been removed but included. Gun sports a pair of large hand made target grips, another trait of Keith. Inscription cannot be read unless grips are removed. CONDITION: Excellent as custom altered by one of the worlds most famous gun writers, inventor, and shooter. Retains majority of the nickel finish with scattered usual handling marks found on nickel finish guns. Action is smooth and was probably tuned. The bore is bright and strong.

(A) COLT MODEL 1878 CANADIAN MILITIA AND DEFENSE RIEL REBELLION DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. Lot #2184 (Sale Order 182 of 420) Manufactured in 1885, the same year that the Canadian Militia and Defense ordered 1001 Colt 1878 revolvers through New York Dealer Hartley & Graham. According to records, all were 7 - 1/2" nickel guns. The factory letter confirms this gun was shipped to H&G with 120 others on April 14, 1885, listed as 7 - 1/2" nickel finish with rubber grips. These guns were ordered to deal with the Riel Rebellion that erupted in 1885. All of these guns are identified by the "MD" and "ID" number stamp on each revolver. This one is stamped MD 231. This gun is now blue, or what is left of that finish, and the barrel has been shortened to 5 - 3/8" with the sight reset. After Riel, the guns were stored until they were reissued for use in the Boer War around 1900. It is believed that some of these were altered and then reissued much like the Artillery Colt Single Actions. Aside from finish and barrel, balance of gun is standard issue with gutta percha bird head grips and lanyard ring. The single line Colt barrel legend is partially legible. The cylinder has a matching number to frame. The shortened barrel is from a DFC inspected cavalry Colt SAA and is stamped "DFC P "and number "231" which matches the MD number on frame. The grips are not numbered. Inside frame has assembly number 670, but not found on loading gate. This catalog suspects that Colt used a 7 - 1/2" SAA barrel when assembled and sent to H&G simply to expedite the order using some DFC barrels on hand. It is interesting to note that this gun was part of a collection of Colt 1878 models recently imported from Canada. CONDITION: Very good. Gun is grey with flashes of blue but one can smell the wiped on finish. Grips are excellent. Muzzle shows holster wear. Action works fine. Bore is sharp. Accessories: Leather holster Barrel Length: 5 - 3/8" Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1878 Paperwork: Factory Letter Serial Number: 14765

The pistol was built without an ejector as empty casings were to be removed with a section of dowel. The hollow grip was also designed to hold extra ammunition, although this example is missing its cover. CONDITION: Good. An honest brown aged patina is displayed throughout. Bore somewhat frosted. Mechanically fine. A must have clandestine pistol for the World War II collector.

Lot #2274 (Sale Order 272 of 420) Introduced in 1930 as an updated solid bottom 98 Mauser action single shot target rifle, it is believed fewer than 400 were produced due to their expense. Like other interwar military style target rifles, Treaty of Versailles regulation dictated a switch from standard military 8x57mm chambering to the 8.15x46mmR target round. This example is commercially "BUGN" proofed and marked with the "MAUSER" banner on the receiver ring. Rifle is finished in hot blue with nitre small parts. Fitted with a push button removable blade front sight and correct finely tuned competition 300 meter rear tangent sight. Receiver also mounted with a siderail optic mount. Trigger assembly is also easily detachable with a floorplate lever, rifle currently fit with a single trigger. Stocks are classic oil finished walnut of military form with blued military mounts. A 1934 Leipzig Deutsches Bundesschiessen plaque is inset along the toeline. Externally visible numbers matching. CONDITION: Fine. Nearly all of the factory blue is retained with some staining and light wear. Nitre shows some fading but remains strong. Stocks are very good with some scattered impressions. Good, strong and bright bore. Fine mechanics. A very interesting and hard to find Mauser.

US CIVIL WAR GILMORE MEDAL. Lot #2401 (Sale Order 399 of 420) Fine example of a Gilmore Medal with original ribbon, pin, and leather wallet that was awarded to Private Mathias Tyson, 3rd New York Light Artillery. Brass medal with engraved image of Fort Sumter surrounded by stars and facsimile signature of Major General Quincy Adams Gillmore on verso with dedication reading “For gallant and meritorious conduct.” The medal is attached to a suspension bar that exhibits the engraving "M. Theisen / Lt. Co. F. 3rd N.Y. Arty.". The Gillmore Medal was created and issued on the local authority of Major General Gillmore to those who exhibited gallantry and meritorious conduct during the operations before the Charleston campaign of 1863. The medal was considered an unofficial decoration but was permitted to be worn upon the uniforms of recipients. Gillmore was the first Union commander to order that his troops be fully integrated, and among the troops who marched with him in Charleston was the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, whose attack on Fort Wagner was dramatized in the 1989 motion picture Glory. The medal exhibits a pleasing patina with intact suspension bar and red silk ribbon. The wallet remains supple. When opened the wallet reveals ink writing that appears to read "Mathias Tyson 3, N.Y. / Arttil, Battery, F". Mathias Tyson enlisted at age 19 as a private and was mustered into Battery F of the 3rd New York Light Artillery on March 12, 1862. He mustered out on March 11, 1865. Tyson's name is obviously misspelled on the medal and he is also listed as "Matthias Thyson". CONDITION: Very good. Paperwork: Research

ATTRACTIVE AND MONUMENTAL WWII ERA REGISTRAR FOR THE NORFOLK NAVAL SHIPYARD. Lot #2402 (Sale Order 400 of 420) An immense painted registrar of ships built at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The painting features a list of ships which were constructed at the Norfolk Naval yard beginning with the first vessel, the Chesapeake Frigate in 1799 and ending with the Agile-class minesweeper Bulwark in 1953. The registrar is built of wood and is beautifully painted with a commanding spread-winged eagle perched on a fasces with Norfolk Naval Shipyard banner draped in front. Beneath the eagle is a flotilla with ships crafted by the staff at the shipyard. The rest of the painting is a long list of ships that were produced at the shipyard with names, classifications, and dates. The list is flanked by more ships with short descriptions of the vessels. Some of the noteworthy vessels are the Merrimac, USS Texas, USS Langley, USS Downes, and USS Alabama. The registrar was most likely assembled circa 1940s-1950s and was probably displayed in a reception hall to showcase the achievements of the facility. Assembled of wood boards that measure approximately 11 - 1/2" each, the overall measurement is approximately 96" x 53" x 4" including what appears to be the original frame. The colors remains vibrant with very little blemishes which do not detract from the splendor of the piece. Frame exhibits scattered scuffs and handling/storage wear but each blemish adds a pleasing amount of character to the overall appearance. Lines where the boards connect are visible in some areas. An excellent and ornate shipyard registrar that demands attention and would certainly be the centerpiece of a naval collection.
