Fine Winchester 1873 .32 WCF Lever Action Rifle Lot #37 (Sale Order 4 of 57) Early Winchester 1873 rifle in .32 WCF (.32-20) caliber. This is an outstanding example with serial number 258096 was manufactured in 1888. Interestingly, the .32 WCF chambering was not introduced in the Model 1873 until 1882- 9 years into production. Between the .44 WCF and .38 WCF chamberings, it can be correctly assumed that very few .32 WCF 1873 Winchesters were manufactured in the 1880s. This example with standard 24” round barrel and full magazine retains excellent deep blue on the receiver with only minor age-brown mixing mainly on the upper tang and edges. It retains the original dust cover- these often missing. The stock is original and in excellent condition with correct solid steel crescent butt plate without the trap for cleaning rods- only the .38 and .44 caliber rifles had the trap in the butt. The forend is also in fine condition and both stock and forend show very tight wood to metal fit. The barrel and magazine tube display fine deep blue with only light aging. The action is very tight and the hammer has a strong safety half-cock. For such an early black powder rifle, the bore is surprisingly fine with strong rifling and only light scattered corrosion. The correct barrel and tang markings are sharp and the barrel is fitted with the original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and small Winchester blade front sight. The brass lifter on the bottom of the frame is uncleaned and unpolished, showing a deep mustard yellow patina. The 1873 Winchester, also known as the “Gun that Won the West,” was Winchester’s first repeating lever action rifle to take the reloadable center fire ammunition which was an important asset on the frontier. Often these rifles were paired with a handgun, like the Colt Single Action Army revolver, of the same caliber. Early examples in this fine state of preservation are difficult to find. This one is superior to most encountered. The rifle weighs 8lbs 2oz. Serial Number: 258096. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

RARE Civil War Colt 4-Screw Stock Cut Revolver Lot #72 (Sale Order 9 of 57) This is a very unusual late-American Civil War production Colt Model 1851 and Colt Model 1861 4-screw shoulder cut out factory revolver chambered in .36 caliber with a serial number of 164127 dating to circa 1863. This unusual example is believed to have been made in this form from the Colt factory with available parts for the U.S. Civil War Union war effort. The revolver shows the 164127 serial number on the frame, brass trigger guard, butt of the backstrap and on the cylinder. The barrel is a 7.5-inch round .36 caliber single line on the top of “- ADDRESS COL. SAML. COLT NEW – YORK U.S. AMERICA –“, with a serial number of 16307 dating to circa 1863 with the “creeping” or ratchet loading lever below (this barrel was only ever offered on the Colt Model 1861). The pistol is factory cut for a shoulder stock on the recoil shield and heel as well as has the long fourth screw in frame, both of which were factory options for the scarce shoulder stocks. Both the barrel, all the marked parts and frame were manufactured by Colt in 1863, during the Civil War. To further the unusual aspects of this firearm the piece does not have a serial number “S” or other designation for being shoulder stock cut and the back strap is solid brass and not steel. The cylinder is correctly factory engraved with a scene of the victory of the Second Texas Navy at the Battle of Campeche on May 16, 1843 by Waterman Ormsby. Cylinder is also marked, “COLT’S PATENT NO. 4127”. Frame is stamped, “COLT’S PATENT” (actually this is double stamped or over stamped) and the brass trigger guard frame is stamped, “.36 CAL”. The inside of the backstrap and inside of the original one-piece walnut wood Colt grips are not marked. One side of the grip has a unique AB or other carved initial or insignia on the right side, possibly from the original solider owner or for their unit. There is the possibility that this is a very scarce late-production Colt Model 1861 and was created using the remaining parts in circa 1873 as the serial numbers do extend to 338843, with only 38,000 1861’s being made. More than likely, this was made in the factory using available parts, in a rush to complete orders for the war effort, making this a truly unusual and scarce example. Overall the revolver has a nice attractive deep aged patina with mellow brass and no evidence of being buffed, polished, steel-wool or cleaned with crisp lettering and nice fitment. There is a bulge in the barrel about 2-inches from the end. The hammer clicks back three times, it can rest at the first click for safety an holds at the last click for firing, the trigger correctly releases the hammer for firing. The cylinder turns when the hammer is engaged but also is stationary sometimes, the cylinder will correctly lock and releases to spin when the hammer is pulled. Serial number 164127, ANTIQUE FIREARM NO FFL.

Colt Single Action Bisley .38-40 Revolver Ca. 1911 Lot #75 (Sale Order 12 of 57) Colt Single Action Bisley Model revolver in .38-40 caliber with 5 ½” barrel, complete with holster. This very high condition Bisley with serial number 316578 was made in 1911. The most common caliber for the Bisley model was .32-20. Any other caliber could be considered more desirable. The .38-40 cartridge is simply the .44-40 necked down to take a “.40” diameter bullet- why Colt and Winchester didn’t name this cartridge the “.40-40” is a mystery as it does NOT fire a .38 caliber bullet! Thus, the .38-40 firing a 180 grain slug ahead of a full 40 grain charge of black powder was considered a very powerful handgun round. Later, the cartridge was loaded to the same velocity using cleaner burning smokeless powder. Colt Single Action Bisley revolvers found favor on the frontier and especially in the Southwestern United States. Most found today show hard use and often abuse. Rarely are they found with any appreciable finish remaining. This is an outstanding example that retains fine deep barrel and ejector housing blue with only normal light gray on the left side of the barrel and on the forward portion of the ejector housing from holster carry. The cylinder also shows fine thinning blue. The bottom of the trigger guard retains fine blue and only the grip straps are aging to gray/brown with good blue in the upper protected areas. Similarly, the butt shows fine deep blue. Remarkably, the frame retains fine light case colors with vivid case colors in the more protected areas- finding any case color on a Bisley is a true rarity. Bisley and Single Actions of this era rarely retain this much blue and case color making this example exceptional. All markings are clear with the correct “BISLEY MODEL” and caliber stamping on the left side of the barrel and Colt address on the top. The frame patent dates and rampant colt are also sharp and clear. The original checkered hard rubber grips are in fine condition showing only light wear and minor chipping at the bottom edge. The screw heads all appear excellent and some retain their original fire blue. The cylinder pin is also unmarred which is unusual and desirable. There is also good fire blue on the trigger sides along with good case color on much of the hammer. Also, the front sight has not been filed or altered and the bore is mirror-bright minty. The action is tight and the hammer has the correct four clicks. The included period correct style Mexican Loop holster was recently made by famed holster maker R. M. Bachman of Kalispell, Montana. It is fully suede lined with border stamping and maker marked on the outside loop. Overall, a superb 114 year old Colt Bisley in a large desirable caliber with custom holster. This revolver and holster weigh 3lbs. Serial Number: 316578.

Native American Decorated .80 Cal Musket Lot #109 (Sale Order 16 of 57) Native American decorated musket. Typical of Mid-19th century arms used by Native Americans, this is a typical of numerous British origin trade muskets that were sent West and actively bartered for pelts and hides. Originally flintlock and later altered to percussion ignition, the large approximately .80 caliber smooth bore barrel could be loaded with a heavy round ball for close range big game hunting, or loaded with shot for wild fowl and small game. The stock and barrel were shortened for easier handling on horseback and in brush. As is typical, the steel butt plate was removed probably to be used as a hide scraper, and the remaining wood that was underneath shows great age and wear. The stock which now measures approximately 31” from butt to forend tip also shows great age and wear. It is profusely decorated with numerous brass tack designs. Many of the tacks show heavy wear, denting and oxidation. The barrel band that secures the stock is cut in a primitive decorative pattern and is held by iron nails. The barrel, lock and trigger guard have a dark metal preservative added to prevent further rust and corrosion. The lock functions with the hammer notches weak. The barrel still retains British proof marks at the breech end. The barrel measures approximately 28” from the muzzle to the breech and was probably shortened to this length before being traded to the Native Americans because it is cut square and has a bead front sight. Barrels shortened in the field are usually unevenly cut and almost never have a front sight. Interestingly, there is a crudely copper lined hole in the forward portion of the forend which probably held a thong for fastening to a saddle. This was common to secure weapons when buffalo hunting which was accomplished by galloping into a stampeding herd and firing at point blank range. A dropped weapon would be immediately trampled and destroyed or at least lost. This is a truly classic early American Indian decorated musket from the early frontier days. This musket weighs 7lbs 2oz. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester Model 1886 Extra Lightweight .33 Rifle Lot #235 (Sale Order 33 of 57) Winchester 1886 Extra Lightweight Takedown Sporting rifle in smokeless powder .33 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) chambering, serial number 159525 indicating a manufacture date of 1930. The famed 1886 was one of John Moses Browning’s best and strongest designs. It was especially popular in the West where a repeating rifle capable of handling the largest and most powerful cartridges of the day was desirable. Such notables as Theodore Roosevelt favored the Winchester 1886. This is a high condition and very late production Model 1886 rifle. According to the standard work on Winchesters, The Winchester Handbook by George Madis, “Serial number 256599 was the highest number produced in standard production. It was shipped on December 8, 1920. A fair stock of parts and assembled guns remained on hand, and in the final parts clean-up serials reached 159994, with the last guns assembled in 1932.” After about 1912 Winchester was making very few 1886 rifles each year. Since the old black powder cartridges of decades before were rapidly becoming obsolete, in 1902 Winchester brought out the .33WCF cartridge specifically for the Model 1886. This advanced cartridge design was simply the .45-70 case necked down to accept .338” diameter jacketed bullets and loaded with smokeless powder. At the time it was the most powerful cartridge offered in any tubular magazine lever action rifle and was used with great success on the largest game. This example has the standard buckhorn with elevator bar rear sight. It is paired with a small blade/bead front sight in the correct shortramp base. The 24” round barrel retains about all the bright blue as does the short magazine tube that was standard on this model. It also has the standard Winchester embossed hard rubber shotgun butt plate. The correct blued steel receiver retains most of the bright and deep blue finish as does the bolt ontop of the receiver. The barrel has sharp correct Model 1886 markings along with the correct Winchester address and “.33 WIN.” caliber stamping. Screw heads are excellent, walnut butt stock and forend are also excellent and show very tight wood to metal fit. The takedown feature was a special order option and this rifle retains the tight fitting of this feature. The action is also tight and the safety half-cock is strong. The bore shows strong rifling and is a little dark with leading that should clean out. This is one of the very last of the big 1886 Winchesters ever produced and is in extremely high condition. This rifle weighs 7lbs 12oz. Serial Number: 159525. This firearm qualifies as an Antique due to pre 1900s model design and obsolete cartridge, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

The Rogers Brothers, in 1881, were among those known for producing side-by-side double-barrel shotguns, a design where the locks (containing hammers and other parts) are mounted on either side of the action. They were British gunmakers who played a significant role in the development of early hammerless shotguns. They were known for their "hammerless sidelock" designs, which moved the hammers out of sight and made the shotguns safer and easier to carry. Their designs, patented in 1881, were a key innovation in the British gunmaking trade, contributing to the development of different shotgun types, including sidelocks and boxlocks. This double barrel shotgun shows fair to good overall condition, exhibits damage with missing brass trim piece on mid forearm. Warm patina and wear due to age and use. Weighs 6lb, 4oz. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester Model 1902 22 LR Single Shot Boys Rifle Lot #331 (Sale Order 39 of 57) Winchester Model 1902 single shot “boys’ rifle.” This is a very early example. Since these were not serial numbered, it is difficult to date them accurately. However, Winchester began placing firing proof marks on .22 caliber rifles in 1908. Only those rifles made prior to 1908 have no firing proof. This is such an example. Also, since Winchester embossed hard rubber butt plates were introduced in 1906 (which this rifle has) it can be determined that this fine M-1902 was made between 1906-1908. As all early Model 1902s it is chambered for the .22 Short and .22 Long Rim Fire cartridges. The M-1902 was one of the higher quality single shot .22s made for the kids’ market- typically boys, but girls too. As such they were made light (3 lbs) and short in overall length. Sights were simple open variety and for safety sake, the rifle would not fire until a cartridge was placed in the chamber and the bolt knob manually pulled back. The fancy trigger guard on this model was similar to those on muzzle loading rifles and added a nice visual flair the rifle. Any boy or girl receiving such a rifle as a birthday or Christmas gift was sure to be delighted! Most Model 1902s found today show signs of being “loved to death” by their original owners. Often stocks and butt plates are cracked and the metal is often pitted. This is a fine example with an excellent stock and butt plate. The barrel shows good aged blue on the original and correct 18” barrel and the action functions properly. As is typical, the bore is less than perfect- a product of the corrosive inexpensive rim fire ammunition of the time. Still, the bore retains good rifling. The sights are original and all early markings are sharp and clear. A fine example from a time in American history when boys were encouraged to handle firearms safely at an early age! This rifle weighs 2lbs 14oz. Serial Number: NA. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Smith & Wesson Engraved Model 1 1/2 .32 Revolver Lot #361 (Sale Order 44 of 57) Fancy engraved Smith & Wesson Model 1 ½ New Model .32 caliber revolver. This model was also called the Model One-and-a-half, 2nd Issue and was only made from 1868-1875. Serial numbers ran from 26301-127100. The number on this example is 68002 which puts the manufacture date at approximately 1870. This model was a popular early cartridge revolver that had the obvious advantage of firing fixed ammunition, in this case .32 Rim Fire shells, instead of slow loading cap and ball revolvers. Since S&W held the patent for “bored through” cylinders for cartridges, Colt, Remington and other competitors had to still manufacture revolvers of the percussion ignition variety in which each chamber of the cylinder had to be muzzle loaded with powder, ball and a percussion cap. The new S&W revolvers were fast to load and offered quick reloading in an emergency. Relatively small in size, the Model 1 ½ offered at least the same power as the popular colt 1849 percussion pocket revolver. This proved a popular revolver with urban dwellers needing a concealed handgun for protection as well as for thugs and outlaws needing the same kind of weapon for nefarious purposes! S&W offered this model in either blue or nickel finish. Engraving was an expensive option and is rarely encountered. This 5-shot revolver is of the tip-up design in which the barrel swings upward for loading. Fired cases are removed by simply pulling forward to remove the cylinder and then using the projecting ejecting bar under the barrel to knock the empty shell casings out. This fine example is nickel plated with fairly full coverage of engraving on the cylinder, barrel, frame and back strap. The top of the 3 ½” barrel displays all the correct Smith & Wesson markings and patent dates.

This revolver is also fitted with excellent condition rosewood grips, has the rear sight ahead of the hammer intact, functions correctly and still shows good rifling in the bore. All engraved Smith & Wesson revolvers are rare and desirable, especially the very early models like this one. The revolver weighs 12oz. Serial Number: 68002. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
