TURKISH HOTCHKISS MODEL 1914 8MM STRIP FILLER

Lot #1097 (Sale Order 38 of 491)

The French Army did not have an advanced machine to fill their feed strips for the Hotchkiss Model 1914, due to the large rim of the 8mm Lebel round. The Turkish Army had a variant chambered in 8mm Mauser, and utilized this dedicated filling machine to simplify the task. They were manufactured by Hotchkiss for export to Turkey. It resides in its original steel chest, measuring approximately 17.75" x 8.5" x 3.75". The chest utilizes a pair of brass hinges in the rear w/ a brass hasp at the front, and a folding brass handle on 1 side of the chest. The loader used a hardwood base that was clamped to a desk or bench & an assortment of steel & brass hand tools to fill the strips. It even includes a resizing tool to straiten the strips when necessary & to realign the fingers that hold the cartridges in place. To load feed strips, cartridges were pre-loaded on 5 round stripper clips & loaded into the cartridge placement tool. The feed tool would hand off the rounds into the cartridge feed guide where they were forced down, and into the feed strip. MAGS: 7 brass feed strips. CONDITION: Kit appears to be completely functional. It is quite amazing for a machine gun accessory of this vintage to be so complete and in such nice condition. The brass parts have a light, time earned patina & the steel parts still have a smooth finish w/ very little staining. PROVENANCE: From the Lifelong Collection of Brian Linde. (02-23926-2/JZ).

FANTASTIC PREWAR ESTONIAN POLICE PISTOL, SPECIAL

Lot #1228 (Sale Order 170 of 491)

FACTORY MARKING. Cal. 9mmP (9mm Luger). S# 1. This extraordinary HP pistol is the first Estonian HP ever produced and discussed in detail in the Vanderlinden book "The FN Browning Pistols" 3rd edition, Vol II on pg 715. It was manufactured in 1936 as part of the first Estonian order for 120 police pistols, which were numbered in ascending order and delivered without special markings, otherwise appearing as commercial guns (commercial HPs with serial numbers 1-5 were not finished, presumably due to manufacturing issues). Interestingly, this particular gun is marked with an underlined "20" under the rear sight, FN's manner of indicating the gun was a prototype or to be retained by the factory. This HP is identical to the Commercial #46, as detailed/photographed in the Vanderlinden book on pg 696, with respect to its markings, proofs, caliber denotation, and serial number, being an all-matching example with the barrel number on the left (hidden) side of the chamber. Fitted with walnut checkered/bordered grips and a Prewar Belgian Army magazine having an aluminum follower, phosphate body whose spine was marked with the encircled "H" and a rust blued floorplate. CONDITION: very good original rust blue finish with sharp edge wear, dulling and scuffing as one might expect from a pistol that has seen considerable handling and use over many years. Dull bore with easily discernable rifling. Correct manual mechanics. A singular opportunity to buy the first Estonian Police High Power pistol, this example marked with an underscored "20" that identifies the gun as a prototype or sample to be retained, a real gem for the most advanced HP collector!

GENERAL OFFICERS MODEL PISTOL OF HIGHLY-DECORATED,

Lot #1278 (Sale Order 220 of 491)

U.S. ARMY MAJOR GENERAL DONALD V. ("SNAPPER") RATTAN, WITH BELT, HOLSTER, & PROVENANCE. Cal. 32 ACP. S# 566922. Bbl. 3 3/4". Model 1903 Hammerless General Officers Model semi-automatic pistol mfg. by Colt, and later shipped to the General Officer's Pistol Program (Executive Offices) at Fort Bragg on 08/07/1968 for Major General Donald V. Rattan. This gun is listed as having been issued to Donald V. Rattan in U.S. General Officer Pistols: A Collector's Guide by Williams & Brunner, at page 92. Donald V. Rattan graduated from West Point, Class of 1945. Commissioned a 2nd lieutenant, infantry, his first assignment was as a platoon leader in the 86th Inf. Div., the Philippines Later, he served with the occupation force in Japan. After completing the Infantry Officer Advanced Course in 1952, Rattan joined the 32nd Inf. Reg., 7th Inf Div. in Korea that saw its action at Chorwon-Kumhwah. In the 32nd, Rattan served as a rifle company commander, battalion executive officer, and Regimental S-2. Beginning in 1953, Rattan spent three years at the Airborne Department of the Infantry School, Fort Benning, where he developed the Army's first airmobile pathfinder course. Rising through the ranks, from Benning, Rattan went directly to the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS. After completing the course there, he remained at Leavenworth as a curriculum planner in the Office of the Director of Instruction. He later attended the Armed Forces Staff College, the NATO Defense College, and the Army War College. In August 1964, LTC Rattan was a military advisor at the US Consulate in Bukavu in eastern Congo. In that role, he advised Government forces defending the city during the Simba rebellion and, in Operation Dragon Rouge, the rescue of western hostages. When on a scout with a driver and three civilian members of a joint team, the group was attacked by an overwhelming force of Simba rebels. Their jeep disabled, Rattan, the only one armed, directed the others to flee into the jungle while he remained a decoy to cover their escape. Fighting a rearguard action, he held off a dozen rebels until the small party could regroup. For four days, with only one pineapple for sustenance, the men played cat and mouse with rebels until reaching friendly forces. Rattan was awarded the Silver Star for his gallantry and leadership. Three years later, in 1967, Rattan commanded the 1st Brigade, 1st Air Cavalry Division (Airmobile)—the First Team-The Cav—in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. The brigade had earlier participated in the Ia Drang and at Bong Son. Under Rattan, the brigade fought in support of the 173d Airborne Bde at Dak To. In late January 1968, Rattan was ordered to move his brigade to the southwest of Quang Tri City, the provincial capital, just below the DMZ. Days later, on January 31, the North Vietnamese Army launched its Tet '68 offensive. Within two hours after an NVA regiment attacked, QTC from the west, Rattan had two jumping from Hueys on the enemy's rear. Cut off from resupply, reinforcement, and an avenue of retreat, the NVA was trapped in a closing vise of Cav to the east Cav and South Vietnamese forces in the city to the west. In less than a half day, nearly one thousand enemy were killed. The Battle of Quang Tri was over hours after it began. The Cav's rapid defeat of the NVA regiment was the most decisive Allied victory during the Tet Offensive. It upset the enemy's timetable and prevented that regiment, as it was ordered, from aiding other enemy units in the Battle of Hue, 50 km to the South. Two months later, Rattan's brigade joined other Cav units in Operation Pegasus to relieve Marines as Khe Sanh. Rattan established his headquarters at a Landing Zone that became known, LZ Snapper, Rattan's nickname from high school. LZ Snapper also served as a rallying point to cut off enemy fleeing the battlefield. After VietNam, from August 1970 to May 1972, Rattan commanded the 8th Inf. Div. in Europe. He retired the following year. During his service, Rattan received two Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters (citations unavailable). On top of the Silver Star (with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters), some of Rattan's other decorations and badges include: a Legion of Merit, a Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device and 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, 24 Air Medals, an Army Commendation Medal with First Oak Leaf Cluster, Combat Infantry Badge (2 awards), a Master Parachutists badge, as well as a General Staff Identification Badge. This example, purchased directly from Donald V. Rattan by the consignor, is marked with Colt's mfg. and patent information, followed by the Rampant Colt logo on the left side of the slide, with "COLT AUTOMATIC/ CALIBRE 32 RIMLESS SMOKELESS" marked on the right.

Matching numbers on receiver, bayonet lug, extractor & rear half of assembly number. Firing pin & safety are mismatched. Front half assembly number appears unnumbered. This rifle differs from all known patterns of WW2 Japanese paratrooper rifles such as the Type 2 & Type 100. The rifle appears similar to a rifle pictured on pages 140 & 141 of Honeycutt's book "Military Rifles of Japan" but the rifle in the book serial 7 has a Type 44 style front end with folding bayonet. Rifle appears to have never had a mum or any maker's markings similarly to the rifle in Honeycutt's book. The only marking is the serial number "9" on left side rail.

The earlier development models are very similar but lack the folding bayonet feature having instead a conventional 3-screw front barrel band". It is this cataloger's opinion that this rifle is one of these earlier development models. Rifle appears to be a Nagoya product with rear sight base bearing a Nagoya inspection stamp. Blued finish.

A tag in the back reads "NAVY DEPARTMENT CONTRACT NXSS 22371 SIZE 46". CONDITION: jacket generally shows light wear over with some oxidation to hook closures. All closures remain operational.

EXQUISITE JAPANESE GOLD DECORATED KATANA WITH

Lot #1433 (Sale Order 392 of 491)

TACHI MOUNTS. This breath-taking katana would more accurately be termed an itomaki no tachi. It appears to be of the Edo period as indicated by the decorative motifs utilized. We have been unable to remove the tsuka but suspect that the blade may be much earlier. The overall length is 40" and the blade measures 26 1/2". The blade has a relatively wide irregular hamon with a gold plated habaki. Below the tsuba is a single darkened seppa with a gold plated seppa next to the habaki. Above the tsuba are 3 darkened seppa topped by a single gilded seppa. The tsuba has a darkened ground with gold edges and elaborately embellished corners. There are also several repeating mon around the tsuba. The top and bottom of the tsuba are identical. The fuchi and kashira are similarly decorated with golden edges and repeating mon throughout. The tsuka-ito is a bronze color and wraps over gold encrusted silk cloth. The heavily gilded menuki are made up of 3 mon each showing 8 smaller circles surrounding a central larger circle. The saya is quite breath-taking with a body of bronze colored nashiji and a saya-maki with golden silk cloth beneath, matching the tsuka. The mounts on the saya all have a darkened ground with gold highlighted decorations, primarily consisting of family mon. The same golden mon, consisting of 8 smaller circles around a central circle, repeats throughout the length of the saya. The ashi appears to be buff leather with family mon terminals. The silk suspension cord connected to the ashi is black, purple, white, and green. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: certification paperwork dated May 25, 1984 with a detailed description of the sword. A Japanese document describing the sword and mounts with a photograph of the sword with a red Japanese seal. CONDITION: the blade has a very fine polish and the temper line is very apparent. The entire tsuka shows very light wear. The gold highlights on the darkened metal give an exceptional impression of artistic craftsmanship. The saya shows very light wear overall with some minor losses of gold foil on some of the mon of the scabbard body. Again, the dark and gold contrast on the mounts is quite visually appealing. The saya-maki, ashi, and sageo all show very light wear with the colors remaining crisp and vibrant. Truly an exceptional sword for the advance collector. (02-23630/BF). $5,000-8,000.

JAPANESE KATANA WITH BLACK AND GOLD MOUNTS.

Lot #1434 (Sale Order 393 of 491)

Overall length: 40". Blade length: 28 1/8". A beautiful example of a high grade katana with an irregular hamon and a gilded habaki. There is one blackened and one gilded seppa above and below the four lobbed tsuba. The darkened tsuba has several gold inlayed areas, highlighted by piercings. One vignette shows a golden sun amongst pierced clouds. Another shows flowering vines with pierced leaves, and there are kidney-shaped inlays on either side of the nakago opening. The nakago has one mekugi-ana and an eleven character signature on one side. Please see photograph for signature. The fuchi and kashira match perfectly and have numerous gold inlays featuring floral and foliate motifs. The tsuka has white same and a black tsuka-ito. The gold menuki represents a boar charging out of bushes. The wooden saya has a black enameled finish with a gilded brass kojiri. The exquisite kurikata has numerous gold floral inlays and a gilded brass shitodome. An attractive but worn sageo is attached through the kurikata. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: certification paperwork dated May 25, 1984 with a detailed description of the sword. Japanese documents describing the sword and mounts with photographs of the sword with red Japanese seals. The sword comes with a black and gold patterned, silk lined, storage bag. CONDITION: the blade has a superior polish. The tsuba as well as the entire tsuka show very light wear. The saya also shows very light wear with minor scuffs to the finish. The sageo shows moderate wear overall. (02-23631/BF). $4,000-6,000.

JAPANESE BOKUTO KATANA.

Lot #1435 (Sale Order 394 of 491)

Please note as of 4/30/25 this item description has been updated. Please revisit this description and contact us with any questions. This katana measures 41” overall with a 27 7/8” hardwood blade. An exceptionally finely made example of a bokuto used in training for kenjutsu. These wooden blade katana are first seen during the Muromachi period, and versions of this historic weapon are still used today in martial arts training. This example is exceptionally ornate, featuring an expertly shaped blade with Japanese characters in black ink on both sides. Translation on the blade: The writing on the wood blade, which is called a tsunagi-gaki, attributes the blade that was in these mounts to Dewa Daijo Kunimichi. The longer side reads Dewa Daijo Kunimichi To (katana). The other side is the person who made the attribution--Hon'ami Kozon. Sadly, the blade is broken just above the integral wooden simulated habaki. The break is such that it could likely be repaired by a qualified craftsman. There is a two-piece patinated brass tsuba with gold floral inlays at the tips of chiseled buds. Matching gold-inlaid fuchi and kabuto-gane, along with perfectly matching menuki. Attractive cerulean tsuka-ito over finely patterned brown and tan silk. The saya is a true work of art, with matching gold inlays on all of the mounts, including the ashi. The top of the saya is wrapped with matching cerulean ito together with a black, brown, green, and tan, long, elaborate ito partially covered in fine black-printed white leather forming an elaborate sageo. The saya body is black and gold enamel featuring foliate motifs and crosses within circles. An exceptionally elaborate and visually stunning bokuto katana of absolutely superior craftsmanship. CONDITION: other than the fact the blade is broken above the habaki, the katana shows only the slightest wear throughout. (02-23632/BF). $1,000-2,000.

INTRATEC AB-10 PISTOL WITH INTRATEC PLASTIC CASE &

Lot #1528 (Sale Order 487 of 491)

32 ROUND MAGAZINE. Cal. 9mm. S# AO04653. Bbl. 2.75". Interdynamic of Sweden originally manufactured the KG-9 in its semi auto configuration as a simple blowback operated, open bolt design. Following the 1982 BATF ruling outlawing open bolt semi auto firearms, they were redesigned as a striker fired, closed bolt system & designated the KG-99. The U.S. based branch located in Miami, FL eventually changed company name to Intratec where they marketed it as the Tec-9, later changing to the DC-9. Following the Federal knee jerk reactionary assault weapons ban, changes were made to comply such as mfg. the bbl. w/out threads at the bore where it was rebranded once again as the AB-10 ("AB" is After Ban). This example is the later AB-10. With a polymer frame & tubular upper receiver, it no longer possesses the ventilated barrel shroud, which was singled out as an offending feature. It was generally regarded as heavy & awkward in its configuration as a semi automatic pistol though it gained popularity largely due to the media induced disinformation & hyperbole combined w/ it being a favorite "boogeyman" of the anti gun groups simply due to its aesthetics. Fixed sights permanently attached to receiver. The safety is built into the charging handle & is engaged by pressing it in w/ the bolt in the forward position. Matte black finish on exposed metal surfaces. Polymer receiver is injection molded black in color. Mag. release is located below the trigger to the rear of the mag. well. Muzzle is no longer threaded on this model. MAGS: 1 metal 36 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Black plastic Intratec transport box w/ owner's manual.

MODERN. $400-600.
