(A) NEEDHAM 1861/63 CONVERTED BRIDESBURG CONTRACT RIFLED MUSKET DATED 1865. Lot #3301 (Sale Order 299 of 341) This conversion was patented by J & G Needham, first in England and then in the US in May of 1870. The rifle was originally a Bridesburg contact US rifle made by Alfred Jenks. The conversions were performed in Trenton, New Jersey. They are now infamous as they are known as the Fenian Brotherhood rifles. Approximately 5020 of these Bridesburg rifles were converted, and 200 Fenians armed with this weapon attempted a second failed raid into Canada. This does not appear to be one of such rifles as it is purported that the rifles used by them had a V cut splice under the middle band which this example does not have. All metal is finished in the white with three bands, folding leaf rear sight, sling swivels, nearly full length walnut stock. The lock still bears the eagle and "US BRIDESBURG" legend and is dated 1865. This writer can see no legends on the conversion block. CONDITION: Fine. Metal is still finished bright with some oxidation and light freckling. Legends are strong. Stock is excellent showing usual scattered dings. Bore is still quite sharp with some abrasion. Also comes with a US bayonet. Accessories: Bayonet Barrel Length: 32" Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Jenks Model: 1861/63 Serial Number: NSN

(A) FENIAN BRIDESBURG NEEDHAM CONVERSION. Lot #3302 (Sale Order 300 of 341) This .58 Center Fire (actually chambered for .577 Snider) rifle was converted from a Bridesburg rifle-musket into a breechloader in 1869-70, after it saw service during the First Fenian Raid of 1866. An 1863 dated M1863 Bridesburg, this rifle not only has the telltale hallmark of a Fenian rifle (an “IN” faintly stamped in its stock, opposite the lock, and signifying part of the second batch of Bridesburgs received from Jenks & Co in 1866), but its fore stock has been cut off, just forward of the lower barrel band. As is the case with many of the Fenian Needham conversions, this rifle is missing its firing pin and spring, as well as its rear sight. The breechblock is a replacement from another Needham. After confiscation by federal authorities, many Needhams were “demilitarized” in this fashion. The number on its hammer wedge and inside the hammer is “236”, and there is “SP 43” stamped on the side of the receiver. This rifle is described and photographed in depth on the popular website about Fenian Needham rifles, www.pioneerarmsworks.com, and was further featured in an article in the Journal of the Company of Military Historians in 2017. Until recently, all sources have stated the Fenians converted 5,020 rifle-muskets into Needham breechloaders, but according to the data assembled by Robert Morris on his website, it now appears that less than 2,000 were actually converted, and that 700 were lost in a fire in Lincoln NE. Consequently, only a few more than 1,000 of these guns survived into the 20th century. Its cut down stock is just one of the methods the Fenians used to disguise these guns during shipping, and this rifle is a good example of the only firearm ever developed specifically for the cause of Irish freedom. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal largely gunmetal gray with areas of cleaned oxidation throughout, receiver and lock somewhat darker, breechblock more of a straw color as taken from a different gun. Stock with handling marks throughout, some surface level chips and scrapes, but no serious cracks or chips. Barrel Length: 37 - 1/4" Caliber/Bore: .58 CF FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Bridesburg Model: Needham Conversion Serial Number: SP43

GEORGIA ZOUAVES BADGE OF LIEUTENANT PENN BEDELL, WHO KILLED THE FIRST ATLANTA POLICE OFFICER KILLED Lot #3331 (Sale Order 329 of 341) An attractive badge named to Penn Bedell, who was a southerner with a colorful history. Bedell enlisted in the Confederate States Army on April 28, 1861, at New Orleans in Nelligan’s 1st Louisiana for 1 year and was 2nd Lt. of Co. D. He resigned in July 1861, but apparently then became 1st Lt. in Company C, serving until March 1862 when he was “dropped,” likely indicating he did not reenlist “for the war” when the army was reorganizing in Spring 1862. During the post-war years, he was a member of the Georgia Zouaves, and an 1874 newspaper article sheds light on this award: "Lieut. Key, of the Jonesboro Zouaves presented Lieut. Bedell of the Georgia Zouaves with a magnificent gold badge, representing the coat of arms of Georgia." The badge is quite attractive and features a ribbon bearing the name "PENN BEDELL" with chain suspension that holds a cross that exhibits the Georgia coat of arms as described by the article, with presentation in each arm of the cross. Bedell has an interesting history, as he was involved in a shootout with an Atlanta policeman, M.W. Rasbury, in which Bedell killed Rasbury; Rasbury was the first Atlanta police officer killed in the line of duty. Since Rasbury shot twice first, Bedell had the charges against him dropped. Bedell was later murdered on February 19, 1874 and was buried in his Zouaves uniform. The badge exhibits a pleasing light patina with no visible gold markings, and is most likely gilded brass. CONDITION: Very good.
