Remington-Beals Navy Model Percussion Revolver

Remington-Beals Navy Model Percussion Revolver

Lot # 458 (Sale Order: 458 of 703)      

Low Estimate: 1,500High Estimate: 2,500
serial #14433, .36 cal, 7 1/2" octagon barrel with a bright very good bore showing strong rifling and some light oxidation and frosting throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver have been cleaned in-the-white and show some freckling, minor oxidation staining and tiny pinprick pitting throughout. Many of the small inspector marks are still very clear, the second line of the barrel marking is largely faded and the first line remains very clear. The hammer spur has been lightly dressed and no checkering remains. The original silver cone front sight is intact and the brass triggerguard has also been lightly cleaned and is starting to take on an ochre patina. The sides of the trigger still show some faint hints of original fire temper blue with the remainder mostly toned to gunmetal. The smooth walnut grips are un-numbered but fit the frame very well perhaps having been lightly cleaned long ago. They remain in good overall condition with worn finish, some scattered dings, scratches, dents, four notches chipped out of the base of the left panel, a prominent 1 1/2" scratch on the right grip and twelve further small notches scratched into the top of the right panel. There is no evidence of an inspector cartouche on the grip panels but this example falls into the serial range of the U.S. Army purchase and the sub-inspector marks are present on many of the parts including an "S" on the barrel, frame and cylinder and a "P" on the frame. This revolver still functions very well with a robust hammer, strong timing and lockup just a little loose. A solid overall example of a scarce martially-marked Remington-Beals Navy.

Rare Colt Model 1860 Army Thuer Conversion Revolver

Rare Colt Model 1860 Army Thuer Conversion Revolver

Lot # 460 (Sale Order: 460 of 703)      

Low Estimate: 3,000High Estimate: 5,000
serial #172414, 44 CF, 8" barrel with an about very good bore showing strong rifling and some light oxidation and pinprick pitting throughout. The metal surfaces of this revolver retain about 90% older reapplied blue toning to grayish brown throughout along with some thinning to silver, operational and high edge wear, old dings and pinprick pitting under the newer finish. The barrel markings are very faint and the cylinder scene is almost gone entirely. The end of the wedge spring has broken, one cylinder stop has an old failing repair with two tiny holes through the cylinder and the Thuer conversion plate shows a couple of rather amateur repairs. The brass triggerguard has been lightly cleaned to goldenrod with some small dings and a few traces of silver plate. The one-piece smooth walnut grip is un-numbered and stamped with an "AA" on the interior. It remains in about very good condition as lightly cleaned with a few small dings, handling marks, small chips and is slightly shy of the frame. The Thuer conversion is correctly marked "PAT.SEP. / 15.1868" with the first half worn away and the ejector setting "E" mark is also still present. The backstrap, triggerguard, barrel and frame are all matching, the wedge is numbered 2414, the converted cylinder is 727 and both it and the Thuer unit are assembly-numbered alike. This revolver also includes its original percussion cylinder that shows a similar amount of older reapplied blue toning to brownish gray. The hammer holds on both half and full cock and timing is a little off on a few chambers. Also included is an iron "COLTS PATENT" two-cavity bullet mould that remains in about good overall condition, a mismatched tin of percussion caps, an assortment of lead balls and bullets, a couple of articles regarding the Thuer conversion and a modern red velvet-lined presentation case. Overall a good representative example of a rarely seen original Thuer patent conversion. (138502-32) {ANTIQUE}

serial #10830, 32 rf, 3 1/2" octagon barrel with a bright very good bore that shows just a small area of light oxidation. This revolver shows floral scroll engraving that looks to be of the period and was likely retailer applied. Metal surfaces of the revolver retain about 90% of a later applied but old, nice quality blue finish. There is an area of light pitting on the barrel and there is a pleasing smooth brown patina beginning to show in some thinning areas. The grips are full checkered ivories and they rate very good plus with just a couple tiny chips from the bottom edge. The revolver comes in a lovely rosewood veneered case with German silver bound lid. The exterior of the case appears to have had a little light finish added and the case is proper for the period with soft wood base, the same type of base found on factory cases. The interior of the case is French fitted with recess for the revolver and a brass English style wiping rod with two covered compartments with lids nicely covered with gold embossed leather. One compartment holds the key to the case and the other is divided with one section open and the other with an 8 shell cartridge block. The interior of the lid is gold embossed "B. KITTREDGE & CO / CINCINNATI" but nearly all of the gold is missing. The case is really wonderful and is probably worthy of a better 1 1/2. A very handsome cased set.

The toggle is marked Erfurt, the chamber is dated 1914, the barrel is fitted with a fine-tuned front and rear sight and all of the visible numbered parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin and rear tangent sight. The checkered walnut grips rate about very good overall with minor flattening of the points and they are stamp-numbered to the gun on their interior. Included is a single bright-bodied, wood-based magazine numbered "8619" and rates about very good overall with minor oxidation staining and a couple chips in the base. Overall a nice opportunity to add a Lange Pistole from the only year that Erfurt produced these pistols to your collection. (218050-392) {C&R}
