Superb Colt Model 1900 U.S. Navy Contract Semi Auto Pistol

Lot #20 (Sale Order 20 of 1099)

serial #1104, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a very high condition example of these rare and early U.S. martial semi-automatic pistols, of which only 250 were produced.

The slide is numbered "1060" and fits flawlessly and matches perfectly in condition. Pistol #1060 was shipped three days before pistol #1104; both guns shipped in 50 gun batches. The pistol has clearly been in this configuration since very early on and was likely assembled like this in the armory. This pistol is listed in Sheldon's book as a known surviving example, pistol #1060 is not listed. The condition of the gun is superb with the metal surfaces retaining about 97% strong original blue with loss due only to scattered light nicks and abrasions. The backstrap retains nearly all of its original blue and shows little if any signs of use. The hammer and sight safety retain 95% bright original color case-hardened finish.

Colt Model 1900 Civilian Model Semi Auto Pistol

Lot #21 (Sale Order 21 of 1099)

serial #2082, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This pistol was factory converted from sight safety to conventional safety. The pistol remains in very nice condition with the slide retaining about 50% factory blue finish with the balance bearing a smooth light brown patina with all markings remaining clear and legible including the Rampant Colt in circle. The frame retains about 90% original blue finish with most loss due to thinning on the bottom of the backstrap where the metal is mostly a gray brown patina. The hammer retains strong original color case-hardened finish and the checkered hard rubber grips which are correct for 1900 pistols above the 2450 serial range rate very good. Doubtless these grips were replaced by Colt at the time of the sight safety conversion. There are some light tool marks on either side of the backstrap behind the grip panels, they are largely unobtrusive. The pistol comes with a later 1902 magazine which is in full blue and marked "CAL. 38 / COLT". Overall a very solid example of the Civilian 1900 Colt pistol. (17254-2) {C&R}

Very Early Colt Model 1902 Sporting Model Pistol

serial #4327, 38 rimless smokeless, 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This pistol is one of the first 55 model 1902 Sporting pistols built, distinguished as such merely by the fact that the slide was originally built without a sight safety, otherwise this is identical to the 1900 pistol in all regards (it wasn't until serial #5000 that the 1902 patent date was added). This pistol bears British proofs and is in very nice condition with the metal surfaces retaining about 85% original blue finish with loss due to flaking on the frame and showing light scratches and wear on the slide. The backstrap is neatly, period marked "A.G. FEENY" in small block letters. Fire blue on trigger is about 50% while round spur hammer shows faint mottled color case-hardening. The checkered hard rubber grips rate very good showing wear commensurate with the balance of the pistol.

The action is mostly an even and smooth brown patina with traces of original blue in protected areas. The plain walnut buttstock and forend rate very good with perhaps 60% of their oil finish remaining and with scattered light dings and handling marks.

Rare Lindsay'S Young American Two Shot Percussion 'Martial" Pistol

Lot #55 (Sale Order 55 of 1099)

The remainder of the barrel surface is a mottled mix of brown and gunmetal gray from light cleaning of oxidation blemishes and pitting, leaving random fine scratches.

The smooth walnut grips are correctly numbered to the gun and rate very good with light dents, scratches and flaking finish. The barrel and frame are correctly numbered to each other and the barrel markings remain strong but hard to read because of pitting. (86229-487) {ANTIQUE} [Elliott Riggs Collection]

The sight base is marked "K43 qve 45", the bolt and carrier are numbered "5873" and the outside gas piston, extractor and firing pin housing are all numbered "73"; interestingly Berlin Luebecker had a milled steel bolt carrier rather than the stamped sheet metal one normally seen. The laminate hardwood stock is numbered to a different rifle and rates very good overall with several light dings and a crack on the left side rear of the action; the right side of the stock below the scope mount is stamped "ZF K 43". There are two faint Waffenamt markings at the pistolgrip and toeline and two eagle proofs on the right side of the butt; the cupped to buttplate is a pewter and brown patina with light pitting. The "Durofol" phenolic resin handguard rates very good plus to excellent with only minor scratches and a tiny crack beginning at its rear-most edge, it is un-numbered.

The scope comes mounted to a good quality reproduction ring set with facsimile Waffenamt stamp. The ring set shows a number of impact marks along the front edge and some scratches on the retention straps; the backside of the mount has been stoned or dressed, no doubt in an effort to fit the mount to a rifle.

There are Waffenamt stampings at pistolgrip and two on the toeline as well as a fourth on the left side of the butt, there are no further discernible markings. The forend rates very good plus, also as lightly cleaned, there is light gas fouling on the interior and no evident number, there is a bit of synthetic wood beneath the metal at the front and rear, no doubt in an effort to tighten up what is a slightly sloppy fit. Included with the arm is a "K43" marked "aye"-coded 10 round magazine which rates very good plus and an original leather sling which is still supple and flexible but with moderate drying and the very tip missing. A very good G 43 overall which likely would shoot very well and certainly could be enjoyed at the range while maintaining its collectibility. (37295-6) {C&R}

The Major Philip Howell Colt Model 1902 Military Pistol

Lot #72 (Sale Order 72 of 1099)

The lanyard swivel is present on left side of butt as is the original polished blue magazine with 1884 patent date. Philip Howell graduated with honors from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst in 1897 and then served in India. In December of 1903 while still serving in India his actions were observed by Major General Douglas Haig during a military exercise, Haig was so impressed that he selected Howell (then only 25 years old) as his Brigade Major. Howell enjoyed much success in his military career being named Major (second in command) in the 4th Hussars in August of 1913. At the outbreak of WWI the 4th Hussars mobilized as part of the British Expeditionary Force. During the Battle of Mons in 1914 he took command of his regiment after the death of Lt. Colonel Ian Hogg in action. Then Lt. Colonel Howell led the 4th Hussars through the battle of the Marne and through the first battle of Ypres, Hill 60 and Neuve Chappelle. Later in October of 1916 while fighting in the Balkans, Howell while making a visit to the frontline trenches to make personal observations of the battle, Howell was struck by shrapnel and killed. At the time of his death Howell was 38 years old and one of the youngest generals of his generation. It was the expectation of many, including high ranking military officials, that had Howell not died in action, he would have reached the highest command in the British army. It is not known how long Howell carried this Colt pistol however, the fact that this pistol was once his sidearm greatly enhances its value and collectability. A fine Colt long slide with an interesting and important association. (17254-6) {C&R}

The knife has a cast brass guard which is 3 1/2" wide and has a turned mahogany handle with slab sides which is in period black paint. Minnis states that unlike most other Confederate Bowie knives which are entirely handmade and follow no particular pattern, these knives appear to have been made in some type of quantity with their cast guards and turned handles. He also pinpoints with 95% certainty that these knives were made between 1862 and 1864. The condition of this knife is quite nice with the blade bearing a pleasing silver gray patina with some small patches of oxidation staining. The guard shows a pleasing patina and the handle is very good with 90% original black paint remaining which bears a lovely age patina.

The guard is interesting being of iron and having crossguards with additional straight lateral protrusion to protect the hand and a bent over protrusion to protect the thumb.

The top snap bayonet measures 17" overall with a 14 1/2" blade with full face flute and 1/2-length back flutes, it is a lightly oxidized mottled gray-brown patina. There is a simple ramrod thimble and ribbed ramrod tailpipe with the triggerguard extension a chiseled pineapple finial with light engraving on the bow. The English walnut stock rates good to about very good, as refinished, with a 5" light crack on the right side of the forend, above the wedge pin, and a pair of tiny cracks surrounding the head of the pin on the left side; the horn forend tip is missing. The lock is crisp and the bayonet spring has been weakened, for it does not snap open and needs to be locked open manually. A nice late percussion blunderbuss by Piper. (157082-7) {ANTIQUE}

U.S. Model 1903 Springfield Air Service" Rifle

Lot #120 (Sale Order 120 of 1099)

serial #860856, 30-06, 24" 4-18 dated barrel with a very good to very good plus bore which shows strong evident rifling but with light frosting within the grooves. The metal surfaces retain 98% excellent quality restored darker gray-green parkerizing showing some sparse remnants of light pitting beneath which really must be scrutinized to be noticed. The bolt body and handle remain dark, the handle and knob mottling slightly to gray, the extractor is polished bright. The walnut stock is a newly made replacement which is museum grade, in fact the dimensions were copied from rifles in Springfield Armory's Museum, the handguard purports to be original and rates excellent, also as refinished (however it measures a full 6", authentic examples are purported to be 5 3/4"). The rifle features the 1/10" wide front sight blade; shortened, permanently affixed rear sight slide; solid barrel band with single screw retaining from the bottom and original 25 round box magazine floorplate with right and left-side Eagles head inspectors mark. The rifle's serial number falls within the accepted range for air service rifles. The story which accompanies the arm is that the rifle was in a barn fire and was moderately and in the case of the stock, badly, damaged. The metal surfaces were resurrected by refinishing, as was the handguard but the stock was too badly damaged to be repaired thus the new-made stock was manufactured utilizing Springfield Armory's dimensions. A narrative of the foregoing is included with the arm. A very attractive rifle overall without the $30,000 price tag commanded by unaltered specimens of this rifle. (37329-12) {C&R}

Affixed to the left side of the receiver is a correct Warner Swasey telescopic sight mount. Mounted to it is a model 1908 telescopic musket sight serial #1643. The sight rates good to very good overall with perhaps 75% original black enamel which is flaking overall, the wind correction and drift tables are still affixed to the tops of the sight. The base and dials show some brown oxidation however the adjustment mechanisms seem to work well. The inside of the mounting groove is numbered to the rifle it was originally fitted to For Rifle No. 656". The rubber eyecup is missing however the optics are remarkably clear showing a bit of light dirt on the inside, the reticle and rangefinding marks still crisp. A very good-looking and convincing installation overall, the mounting screws staked on the inside race of the receiver and neatly dressed. Modern replacement rubber eyecups can be had for about $85 and would make this a very attractive display piece overall. (37329-10) {C&R}

Winchester Model 1895 Deluxe Special Order Rifle

Lot #125 (Sale Order 125 of 1099)

!!! NOTICE: This lot has a discrepancy. Please CLICK HERE for the discrepancy list.
serial #60675, 30-06, 24" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel retains about 95% original blue, the loss is due primarily to muzzle wear and some light fading. The receiver has toned primarily to a deep pewter and mottled brown patina with some trace original blue in the protected areas, the lever and magazine box show a bit more blue, perhaps 30%, the balance a dark gray faded original blue. The buttstock is a quite nice shotgun butt-equipped, straight gripped example with some lovely grain figure and typical Winchester-style checkering; it is numbered within the top tang cut "3945" while the lower tang is numbered "617". The stock itself rates very good plus to excellent as lightly cleaned many many years ago, the wood being slightly under along the edges of the lower tang. The forend is quite nice and is three-quarter-length very Griffin & Howe-like, it appears to be original in every respect. In addition to the normal forend retaining screw dovetail socket there is an additional dovetail socket added beneath the tip of the forend into-which the sling swivel eyelet screws, again appearing to be factory in every respect and very nicely done. The rifle is sighted with a "climbin" Lyman" No. 38 windage-adjustable rear receiver sight, Lyman No. 6 folding combination rear sight and a Lyman ivory bead front sight. Really a very attractive deluxe 1895 Winchester overall with a rather neat forearm treatment. (37231-3) {C&R}

Winchester Model 1895 Deluxe Carbine

Lot #126 (Sale Order 126 of 1099)

serial #424048, 30 Army, 22" round barrel with a bright excellent bore. This carbine features a grooved carbine style forend with straight grip buttstock with checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate. The grip and bottom of the forend are checkered and they appear to be factory in all regards. There is no handguard and the forend is grooved to accept the handguard springs so we believe that this did indeed leave the factory with a handguard. The top of the barrel is drilled and tapped for a carbine rear sight however it is no longer present and the holes now hold filler screws and a Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight is in place. The original ramp mounted blade front sight is present. The barrel retains about 90 - 95% original blue finish overall while the action and magazine retain about 70% original blue. The loss on the action is due both to light wear and to some scattered light flaking and the gun was built without a saddle ring. The stocks rate very good having had a little light oil finish added and with a fair amount of wear on the rear portion of the forend checkering from the gun being carried. The original checkered hard rubber buttplate has no widow's peak and rates excellent with a 13 1/4" length of pull. Deluxe 1895 carbines are quite scarce, this one is far too late to letter but seems honest in all respects. (16520-495) [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

The top tang of the rifle has an added hole which obliterates part of the "WINCHESTER" marking. The checkered walnut buttstock is a nicely fitted replacement and rates excellent plus with a checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate. The forend appears to be original with schnabel top with ebony inlay and a checkered panel that is factory quality but may be added. The rifle is equipped with standard sporting sights. With its beautiful bore and nice chambering, this would make a great whitetail or moose rifle (17307-7) {C&R}

Lot #128 (Sale Order 128 of 1099)

The barrel retains about 98% original blue showing some very light muzzle wear, and the oddly scattered very light scratch or handling mark and a few very sparsely scattered very light spots of oxidation. The frame receiver shows a bit more flaking retaining about 95% original blue, the loss due primarily to flaking along its left side with some minor oxidation on the right, also with a few spots of very light pinprick pitting. The lever and magazine cover show more blue, perhaps 97%, with light oxidation and perhaps a few very light pinprick pits along the lower left edges. The hammer retains some very good, vibrant case colors and the buttplate is a nice mottled dark gray case-hardened patina. The buttstock and forend rate excellent with nearly all their original varnish showing only minor light dings and handling marks from use afield. What is likely the original brass blade front sight is intact as is the semi-buckhorn rear. Really a very nice example overall in a very fine state of condition, in this early service cartridge chambering. (37265-10) {C&R}

This is the early style deluxe with the graceful uncapped pistolgrip with ebony insert. The rifle is sighted with a beaded blade front, sporting leaf rear and a Lyman folding tang mounted peepsight. A couple screw heads show very light wear but this rifle is otherwise extremely honest and untouched. A fine and very collectible deluxe antique 1886 rifle manufactured in early 1895.

The backstrap shows remnants of an older nickel finish, perhaps 20% remaining while the triggerguard is a darker dull gray with oxidation and light tool marks from cleaning.

The backstrap is numbered to a different gun and the triggerguard shows only remnants of its numbers, also from a different gun; the cylinder is numbered "7414. The gun will need some mechanical attention as the half cock notch is a bit far back and there is no loading notch. The one piece walnut grip rates fair with a number of dings and moderate impact marks along its right lower edge, the left side with 10 "kill notches" cut into the grip and a 3/4" chip missing from the grips leading edge, they are slightly under around of their periphery and numbered to a different gun.

The metal surfaces are an overall dull gunmetal-pewter gray with scattered oxidation staining. There are scattered areas of light pitting and numerous tool marks over the surface of the gun as though someone had started to dress the arm for refinishing. The barrel date is still very readable as are the patent dates. The cylinder exhibits the heaviest areas of pitting but is likely not beyond salvaging. The two-piece genuine stag grips rate very good plus to excellent although they are slightly under. The front sight blade shows a soldered seam, perhaps the original was broken off, this now repaired. The gun seems to time properly and lockup albeit slightly loosely. A good restoration candidate overall or it may spin a cast bullet as-is once checked out by a competent "smith. Manufactured in 1900. (37292-12) {C&R} [Tom Varrell Collection]

The checkered hard rubber grips rate very good with softened features, lightly worn checkering and scattered handling marks. Timing and lock up are correct but the ejector rod tab is bent. This is a salty old Bisley that has seen some use over the years. (86520-3854) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

There is a German silver eyepiece at the ocular lens. The reticle is crosshair and the optics are shockingly clear for a scope of this age, showing only some minor haziness and likely interior dirt or dust. The scope is mounted in steel blocks with the front ring mounted in the factory front sight dovetail, that unit adjustable for windage with a tensioning spring at the bottom of the ring. The rear scope ring mounted in a dovetail just ahead of the receiver, that ring adjustable for elevation. There is no rear sight seat present and it is likely the arm was ordered from the factory set up for telescopic sight mounting for more likely shipped directly to Mogg himself for fitting of his sight. There is a vacant dovetail on the underside of the barrel, about 4" from the front of the forend, no doubt for some manner of benchrest, no longer present. Overall a nice rifle on its own merits, all the more so with the rare LN Mogg telescopic sight. (37223-1) {C&R}

The action and locks are a perfectly smooth and pewter, the result of color case hardening fading and in areas mixing with a smooth gray patina. The checkered round knob pistolgrip buttstock and forend are both refinished with freshened checkering. The buttstock does not fit perfect with some gaps at rear of locks, particularly on the left side. The shotgun locks up tight and the metal is in very nice condition.

Remington Whitmore Model 1875 Lifter Combination Gun

Lot #169 (Sale Order 169 of 1099)

serial #1220, 10 ga. by .40 cal centerfire (cartridge is a bottleneck rather than straight-wall), 30" barrels with an about very good shotgun bore which has been lightly honed and shows remnants of minor pitting and a very good rifle barrel which shows strong evident rifling but sparsely scattered minor pitting. The barrels are correct in every respect and were made as a combination gun and exhibit the appropriate Remington rear sight with step elevator and correct single blade front sight dovetailed in a screw-on base; the top rib is appropriately maker marked. The barrels are an overall deep pewter and very light brown patina with some sparsely scattered oxidation staining. The frame is also a dark gray pewter and brown patina with minor oxidation staining and some very light pitting. The lockplates and hammers are a mottled gray and blue patina, also showing remnants of some very minor pitting. The smooth round knob English walnut buttstock rates very good plus showing a couple light cracks and older, nicely repaired cracks beneath both lockplates also with minor dings and handling marks. The splinter style English walnut forend rates near excellent as well; the forend and iron are very old and fit very well but do not appear to be of Remington manufacture although the forend iron is serial numbered to the gun. The locks are rebounding and seem to be mechanically functional. The barrel has light lateral and vertical play with a very tiny sliver of light visible between the breech face and standing breech. Some of the screw slots show damage and the frame pin has a center punch mark on one end. Overall a very good, very honest example of these rare Remington combination rifle-shotguns.

Brown Manufacturing Company "Soapy Smith" Southerner Deringer

Lot #197 (Sale Order 197 of 1099)

serial #6812, 41 RF, 2 1/2" octagon barrel with a lightly oxidized and frosted bore.

The loading notch no longer functions and the full cock notch, while operational, requires an unusually heavy pull to release. The barrel to frame fit is loose with varying degrees of slot damage present on the screws. Mr. Smith got his nickname from a favorite scam of his, where he would buy boxes of 5 cent bar soap, set up a small table and announce to all in earshot that they had the chance of winning $20.00, $50.00 or even more for a few dollars investment. As he spoke he would wrap several of the bars with twenty dollar or larger bills in front of his hapless victims add them to the pile of soap bars and start selling them for $5.00 or more each. He would remove these seeded bars from the pile with sleight of hand or mark them for his "shills" to buy. His "suckers" would eagerly buy or bid for them hoping for a quick profit especially, when the shills in the audience would proclaim how they "found" money in the bar they "bought". After selling the last bar he would quickly pack up and leave with only him and his gang having profited. "Soapy" was a true crime boss of his time and he and his gang caused so much trouble that members of the Skagway "Committee of 101" (vigilantes) took action. One report indicates he was killed on July 8, 1898 by members of the "Committee of 101" in the shootout in Skagway, where he used a Winchester rifle to kill vigilante Frank Reid before another Committee member gunned him down; but others claim it was at the hand of a U.S Marshall. Except for the killing of vigilante Frank Reid on the same day of his demise none of the documentation provided indicates any gunfights by "Soapy" that would support the four notches in this pistol but considering his background anything is possible. In a letter written by J. Cornell, he purports to have taken the Southerner off the body of "Soapy" Smith after the shooting along with two $20.00 eagles. He passed it on to John Jack McPhee on April 8, 1930. In his letter to McPhee he explained how his cabin was flooded by overflow from a river and badly rusted this gun. A small binder with letters purportedly from Mr. Cornell and other owners is included. The binder also has some "Soapy" Smith background, a chronological list of all owners before Mr. Riggs and period photos of the Skagway area and Smith. This Southerner would pass through seven hands before being purchased by Mr. Riggs. (86229-501) {ANTIQUE} [Elliott Riggs Collection]

BC Miroku Charles Daly Venture Grade Lightweight Frame Shotgun

Purportedly the serial number range on these lightweights begins at 230011, making it highly likely that this is the first such lightweights produced by Miroku (one would expect a manufacturer making a special limited production run to start at a neutral number ending with zeros rather than a random mid-production run number). The gun seems to function well mechanically and weighs just a smidge under 6 pounds. A very nice example of these very rare little lightweight Dalys. (37345-7)

Custom Single Shot Farquharson Rifle By Leonard Bull

Lot #274 (Sale Order 274 of 1099)

serial #5240, 375 H&H, 27" barrel with a bright excellent bore and integral muzzlebrake. The barrel retains about 98% maker rust blue while the action retains a similar amount of vibrant color case-hardening. The sides of the frame show nice quality loose open acanthus scroll with the top flat neatly checkerboard matted. The rifle is stocked classic style in a nice grade of Circassian walnut, the buttstock and forend rating about excellent with only very light handling marks from careful use afield. The stock features a rounded left side cheekpiece and case-hardened pistolgrip cap. The length of pull to the solid orange recoil pad is 14". The rifle is sighted with a simple bead front sight and two-leaf express rear, one standing one folding, the front sight with a nice folding hood. Leonard J Bull was a gunsmith for years for the firm of Shaw & Hunter Ltd. in Nairobi, East Africa and a writer for Guns magazine in the 60s. He retired and moved to this country and became an instructor at the Trinidad School of Gunsmithing and had a firm evidently known as the "Casting Company" make up brand-new castings of the 1897 Model Westley Richards Farquharson action from 8620 steel, making it ideal for engraving and for accepting color case-hardening. It is highly likely this is one of those actions that this gifted gunsmith assembled and built into this rifle. There are a few turn markings at the breech, no doubt from Mr. Bull setting the barrel up tight in the action, some scratches on the tang around the thumb safety and a few light scratches atop the breech block from the arm being loaded, but otherwise the arm appears very nearly as-new. Sadly there will be no more rifles from this gifted gunsmith as he died in November 2013. A super rifle overall by a top-notch craftsman in his field. (There is a large amount of 375 H&H ammunition available in the silent auction) (37252-1)

The action seems to function well mechanically and the lock is crisp. Overall a very good, slightly-refurbished example converted from a military action. (37249-197) {ANTIQUE}

Lawson"s rifles feature a very straight-line comb for recoil manageability and this example has nice finger grooves in the forearm area. Mr. Lawson would start with a Remington 600 or 650 action and customize the rifle from there. There is a custom bolt shroud and push-button safety at the rear of the trigger guard. This example features a steel one piece Burris ring and base set with 1" scope rings. The length of pull to the Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad is 13 1/2".

The hammers are very graceful with lovely rearward-curling finely checkered spurs, sporting the same excellent quality engraving as the balance of the arm. Both belly of frame and lockplates are maker marked, the upper tang is marked with the Prince of Wales Royal Warrant of Appointment. The long tang triggerguard has toned to somewhat of a pewter and plum patina but also with the lovely quality engraving. The straight grip English walnut buttstock is highly figured and rates very good showing some light softening from the years and the overall minor dings and handling marks one would expect from a field-use arm, the German silver monogram plate along the toeline is un-engraved. The splinter style forend shows a bit more wear with the checkering worn slightly more smooth, also with a few more dings and dents and a very small chip missing from its front right edge, a slightly longer chip missing from his right rear. The hammers are rebounding and the locks crisp with the barrels tight and on face. The Gwynne"s came to Columbus Ohio from Baltimore Maryland, the family having made a fortune in maritime shipping. These later Gwynne"s were described as "very active, energetic business men and all died wealthy", Baldwin Gwynne was likely the owner of this gun. Really a lovely Scottish best-quality double with a very interesting side-lever action. (37225-5) {ANTIQUE}

Lot #280 (Sale Order 280 of 1099)

serial #9734i, 8mm Mauser, 24" barrel with a very good bore which shows sharp rifling but with sparsely scattered minor pitting.

Wohler of Kassel. The duv-coded mount is numbered 45841, scope and mount retain perhaps 85-90% original blue, showing some minor oxidation on the exterior of the objective and ocular lens bells. There are also a few spots of light pitting but they are unobtrusive. The optics are somewhat cloudy and no reticle can be discerned, Gun Parts Corp. is offering reproductions of these scopes now so it is likely that parts could be had. Included with the arm is a period leather sling which rates very good, it is likely postwar. A very good example overall which likely still shoots very well, the scope really should be repaired so the rifle could reach its full potential. (37249-45) {C&R}

There is a crisp left-side 1903 cartouche and a serifed P firing proof to the rear of the triggerguard. The rifle comes with a somewhat tender Rock Island Arsenal 1903-marked sling which is flexible and supple but flaking. Really a very fine Krag overall in a very nice state of condition, its only detractor being the chips at the butt, which are rectifiable. (37292-87) {C&R} [Tom Varrell Collection]

The left side of the butt is slightly light, with a bit of varnish missing, perhaps where some solvent has removed it. The appropriate checkered buttplate is present and the configuration is overall correct for a model of 1910. As with any low-numbered 1903 Springfield this fine arm is sold as a collectible rifle only and should not be fired for any reason. Overall a very nice example, unmolested and unrefurbished for 105 years. (37329-8) {C&R}

Most examples found are marked "USMC / Property" but this pistol lacks the word "property". It was also reported that many of the USMC guns were shipped with Olympic 22 Short conversion kits with a number stamped on the bottom of the slide. The numbers often did not match the pistol"s serial number and was probably a result of the Marine Corps armorers separating the two. A check of the original High Standard records show this arm shipping to a different "account" than that which is normally associated with Marine Corps-shipped pistols. (87292-33) {C&R}

About .45 cal centerfire by 16 ga., 45 1/2" barrels with very good bores, the rifle barrel with crisp rifling and a spot or two of light pinprick pitting, the shotgun barrel showing light pinprick pitting most of its length.

Scheller Hannover" and there is light borderline engraving of the breeches. The front features a silver blade bead sight and there is a fixed single u-notch rear. The frame, locks and hammers shows some very nice smoky case colors with the fences toned to a silvery pewter with very good case color between the hammers, worn to silver at the rear of the back action locks and long top tang.

There is a nice curled-front triggerguard and the front trigger is single set. There is a nice horn grip flourish to the rear of the triggerguard, it rates excellent and is unchipped, uncracked. The checkered walnut buttstock rates very good plus showing an old cleaning or a light refinish, the checkering primarily now flat-topped, the smooth buttplate slightly proud. The splinter style forend is key-fastened to the barrels, it rates only about good showing a couple of chips on its left side and a repair to the right side in the area of the release lever, rudimentarily done. The horn release lever rates very good plus as well showing some minor scuffs, it is miraculously uncracked and unchipped. A number of the screw heads show some minor slot damage but the rebounding locks are crisp and mechanically functional and the lockup is tight. The underside of the barrel flats were stamped by a previous owner "AF Solbrig"; Albert Franklin Solbrig was a prominent Louisville pharmacist. The rifle barrel accepts a slightly bottlenecked cartridge, the 43 Spanish fits the chamber perfectly but is just slightly long. It would seem a simple matter for a gunsmith to slug the bore and make a chamber cast. Really a very quality-made gun, somewhat Spartan but clean overall. The arm definitely deserves to have a new forearm fashioned or this one properly repaired by a talented craftsmen. It would be a joy to have afield once more. (37337-10) {C&R}

New York State Percussion Drilling By Benjamin Losey

Lot #392 (Sale Order 392 of 1099)

12 ga. over 40 cal, 28 1/2" barrels with lightly oxidized bores, the rifle barrel showing strong rifling and scattered very light pitting. The barrels are an overall deep pewter gray oxidized patina showing some very minor remnants of light oxidation staining and some light pitting.

The lockplates are primarily a pewter patina with the very lightly engraved locks a darker gray, the triggerguard and rear curling spur a plum brown and gray. The fancy black walnut stock rates otherwise very good plus were it not broken at some point completely through the wrist. A repair was made during the period of use but the ancient glue has come loose and it now will flex. Really a very fancy example in its day, the arm features an oblong iron patchbox in a nice German silver base, a German silver cap box along the toeline and fancy German silver butt and toeplates with a German silver comb extension and sideplates; these are all sparsely engraved. The flared left side cheekpiece has a German silver inlay of a somewhat stylized running deer and the left and right of the wrist have rectangular silver inlays, also lightly engraved. The locks are crisp and mechanically functional, the single trigger actuating both left and right lock and will fire both simultaneously if both are cocked. The same trigger actuates the bottom underhammer for the rifle barrel and were all three hammers cocked and the trigger pulled and they would fire simultaneously; currently the bottom hammer does not hold on-cock. There has been a diopter-style aperture sight installed on the tang at some later date, it is slightly rudimentary and could have been made by Mr. Losey. One original ramrod is included and one later ramrod is present. Benjamin Losey was active in Ithaca New York until the 1840s then it would seem he moved to Motts Corners New York and then eventually to Syracuse, he died in 1896. He was very prolific and was in fact partners with another gunsmith John Lull at various times and also with his son at various times. Really a fancy and well-made combination gun, a very talented wood man might be able to satisfactorily repair the stock. (37249-267) {ANTIQUE}

He enlisted in the 4th Regiment of Artillery on April 9, 1861, as a 2nd Lieutenant. His unit fought in many campaigns during the Civil war including such notables as Antietam (9/16-17/1862) where Lt. Thomas commanded six Napoleon"s, Gettysburg (7/1-3/1863) were his 12 pounder battery defended the left flank of the 2nd Corps next to General Meades headquarter and many other campaigns such as Rappahannock Station, and the Wilderness to name a few. His units took heavy casualties in some of these engagements resulting in Thomas being promoted to Captain on 12/13/1862 by brevet, to Major on the third day of battle at Gettysburg by brevet and was commissioned Captain on August 31, 1864. With the end of the war he would continue his service with the U.S. Army and was later involved in the Indian Wars. He was killed in action by rifle fire on April 23, 1873 while engaged with the Modoc Indians in an area that is now the Lava Beds National Monument in California. It is highly likely this revolver accompanied him on many, if not all, of these campaigns. This is a truly grand piece of history for the Civil war buff. (87335-1) {ANTIQUE}

The metal surfaces are an overall plum brown patina with minor oxidation and scattered spots of light pitting.

The Jaeger style triggerguard is very ornate with a chiseled and engraved front extension with the depiction of a grotesque face on the front extension and a Roman-like bust on the bow of the guard surrounded by arabesque scroll; the tail chiseled and engraved as well with the sideplate ornately pierced and engraved.

The barrels are a pewter gunmetal gray patina with light scattered oxidation and the odd handling mark here or there, showing some light pitting in the splash areas around the nipple bolsters. There is a simple German silver front sight blade and a shallow v-notch rear with step elevator; the rib is un-marked. The back action locks are a mostly smooth pewter and plumb brown patina and the long upper tang has a drilled and tapped hole, no doubt for a lollipop peep it once held. The rifle is fitted with brass hardware which is now a pleasing untouched ochre patina and features a single spur triggerguard, crescent butt and toe plates and a pendulum style patchbox. The American walnut stock rates about excellent and is unmolested with a few very minor handling marks from the years. The gun is equipped with single-acting locks and double set triggers, which will activate both hammers simultaneously if both are cocked. There is no ramrod nor thimble present but these are very easily replaced if one wished. Really a nicely-made, if somewhat Spartan, percussion double rifle, by a craftsman of some talent.
