The document measures 21" long by 15" wide and is the exact copy of the original 1775 document which sparked the Revolutionary War, in particular The Battle of Lexington and Concord. The document lists the name of each person wounded or killed in these incidents and is printed with black ink on paper containing lateral striation which was notably used in the 1850's, according to said experts. This document was originally part of the Dr. John K. Lattimer Collection. CONDITION: The document has some light staining and fold marks with edges tattered and having some small tears. An interesting piece of Americana with more research needed.

Historic Surrender Flag From Fort Sumter Ex Lattimer Collection Lot #595 (Sale Order 96 of 424) On April 12th, 1861 Confederate forces under General P.G.T. Beauregard began firing on Fort Sumter, initiating the American Civil War. The fort was under the command of Major Robert Anderson with Captain Abner Doubleday as his Second-in-Command with some 90 soldiers, which endured roughly 34 hours of continuous fire by over 3000 Confederates until the fort was surrendered on April 13th, 1861. The flag comes with provenance from Peter Hart who was a New York City Police Officer; who escorted Mrs. Robert Anderson to Fort Sumter on January 26th, 1860. Hart was a Mexican War veteran and great friend of the Andersons and had served under Anderson in the Mexican War. On January 7th, 1861 upon Mrs. Anderson's request, he escorted Mrs. Anderson to the fort promising to be a non-combatant. He became a hero of the battle after dodging intense fire to raise the 33 star battle flag after the Confederates had shot it down during the battle. Texas Senator Louis Wigfall , an avid successionist from South Carolina, rowed out to the fort to encourage Anderson to surrender without Beauregard's acknowledgement. During the discussion between Anderson and Wigfall a white handkerchief flag was raised. According to accounts, Wigfall only possessed a white handkerchief, which was not visible when it was risen and a bed sheet was cut to suspend hostilities while they negotiated. As Wigfall was not a commanding general, a second group and yet a 3rd group was sent out to negotiate with Anderson. Seeing his situation was worsening Anderson decided to surrender the fort on April 13th, 1861. This flag measures 28 -1/2" high by 33" wide and is made out of ground cloth linen warp and weft sewing thread linen (according to textile examination). The holes are from tacks used to hold the sheet to the bed and the flag is attached to an unknown age wooden staff. Accompanying this flag is a report written by Civil War historian and authority Gregg Biggs of Tennessee verifying the in-depth history of this flag. The flag comes out of the Dr. John K. Lattimer Collection, who purchased this flag and other items from a Norm Flaydermann style auction catalog circa 1950. This and other items, Gregg Biggs notes in the accompanying report, were gathered by Peter Hart, who was known to collect and possess many Fort Sumter items. Biggs, in his well written report, cites many historical references and anecdotes verifying the authenticity of this item. There is a handwritten note, signed by Peter Hart, stating this item was obtained by him on the last day he was in the fort. Both Anderson and Hart were welcomed as heroes when they returned to New York City. Research by JSA has deemed this signature, in the accompanying letter, as inconclusive due to the lack of comparable examples. Research was done on the fabric by the Textile Conservation Workshop of South Salem, NY and in an accompanying letter it was found to be of that period and authentic. Civil War historian Gregg Biggs has put together a well researched and informative report on the flag and the events and the people of those days in 1861, which still continue to affect us in modern times. All is included in this lot. Dr. John K. Lattimer Collection CONDITION: Flag has some tattering and staining and comes with in-depth examination letters and certification documents. A great historical lot.

Unique Engraved Colt Brevete Third Model Dragoon Revolver in .44 Caliber Lot #608 (Sale Order 109 of 424) Made circa 1850, likely in Liege, Belgium or London, England by an unknown unlicensed Colt Brevete gunmaker. Lots 608 and 609 are unusual revolvers and consecutively serial numbered, with one marked "11" and the other marked "12". THIS LOT IS FOR SERIAL NUMBER 11 ONLY. Samuel Colt anticipated his famous revolvers being copied, so as a way to profit from these copies, he supplied these makers with parts rather than have patent infringement lawsuits. He even had his own inspector licensing some of these copies. These two pistols demonstrate his savvy business sense with both having parts with British proof marks, possibly indicating these parts came from his London factory. Both "11" and "12" have cylinders and barrel frames with British "crown/v" proofs with "Colt Patent" barrel markings. Licensed pistols were typically stamped with "Colt Brevete", essentially meaning "copy" in English terms. Another hypothesis is that these markings were used on both pistols for an English speaking market (possibly the Confederacy). Pistols feature full coverage engraving in the Gustove Young style with a floral pattern and "Wolf's Head" hammer scene. Engraving possibly could have been executed by Joseph Delany, who was present and engraving Colt Revolvers in London from 1852-1856, according to R.L. Wison. Another interesting feature of this pair is that both frames are made of smooth brass and have no Belgium or any proof marks. The left panel side of each revolver is marked with "Colt Patent". Barrels are smooth bore with both measuring .425" at breech and No. 11 measures .433" at muzzle and No. 12 measures .430" at muzzle. Both barrels are round turning to 3 sided facet at the frame. No. 11's loading rod latch differs slightly, so it can not be said that these are a Matched Set". However, it could be that the maker ran out of parts and just utilized similar loading rod mechanics out of necessity. Both revolvers have walnut one piece grips. All serial numbers match and it is notable that they have purposely been matched, but this is to be expected if period parts from Colt were used. The cylinders are British proof marked and are 6-shot with Dragoon scene and "Colt USMR" panel marking and stamped with "11" and "12" serial numbers respectively. Cylinder 11's tubes measure from a low of .430" to a high of .449" at loading points. Cylinder 12's tubes measure a low of .449" to a high of .459" at loading points. Pistol No. 11's cylinder is beveled at rear and has relief cuts for ease of turning at cylinder stop notches. These pistols have blade front sights with hammers notched for rear sight. It should be noted that this is the only two brass framed Brevete Third Model Dragoons this cataloger could locate. CONDITION: Both revolvers exhibit a used silvery patina finish with engraving still very visible. No. 11 has some corrosion on frame around assembly screws. Brass on both pistols has a handled, but golden appearance. The grips show evidence of original varnish with No. 11 having a chip missing at base. Bores show dark appearance with some slight pitting. Both have fading but partially visible cylinder scene. No. 11 has good functioning mechanics. No. 12 functions but is in need of adjustment. Unique pistols with some unusual features. Further research needed. CALIBER: 44. S/N: 11. FFL STATUS: Antique.

Theodore Roosevelt's "Big Stick" Walking Cane Ex. Lattimer Collection Lot #628 (Sale Order 129 of 424) Some would argue that Theodore Roosevelt was one the most interesting men to ever hold the office of President.

Known as an outdoorsman, soldier, and Statesman, he was the 26th President of the United States. His motto, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".

This cane/walking stick measures 37" in overall length with a Briarwood staff capped with a brass tip and fitted with an Elk or Antelope horn handle. (Provenance states Antelope horn, but looks to be more like Elk or Mule Deer antler.) The handle measures 11" from tip to top of staff with top facet marked "Gov Theodore Roosevelt/Col. R.R./Jan 1st 99". This marking indicates this cane/walking stick was made for Roosevelt, by an unknown source, while he was the 33rd Governor of New York. The provenance accompanying this item states that the "stick" was given to a neighbor of Roosevelt's and was always regarded as the original "Big Stick" and comes out of the famous Dr. John K. Lattimer Collection. Provenance: Letter from Charles Hamilton Galleries of New York City, dated May 6, 1977, indicating it's authenticity and date of purchase by Dr. Lattimer.
