(M) Cased Auto Mag .44 Pistol with Extra Parts & Reloading Pieces.

Lot # 501 (Sale Order: 2 of 626)      

In 1971 Harry Sanford, working out of a little shop in Pasadena, California, began production of the now famous .44 Auto Mag semi-automatic pistol. It is designed to hold seven rounds of the special .44 AMP ammunition. Design features included exposed hammer, adjustable trigger, satin stainless steel finish and sharply checkered stocks of black plastic; weighing 56 oz empty with 11-1/2" overall length. It was a brand new pistol for a brand new cartridge and the most powerful semi-automatic made at that time. It was a big, massive handgun that combined devastating punch with long range accuracy and up to eight shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. This pistol set the handgun world on fire. during the course of its manufacture, its high price tag and lack of readily available factory ammo early on, the company changed hands several times; but it is the early Pasadena Models that captures the fancy of both shooters and collectors alike. Because it was a small company, the owner allowed individual employees Model 180 as a bonus. This particular pistol was built by an employee whose initials were "KEF" and bears serial No. 10, making it both a hand fitted model and one of the earliest known serial numbers. This gun was eventually acquired by a hunting guide directly from the employee as a gift for a successful hunt. CONDITION: This pistol is basically indiscernible from any other production model with its distinctive space gun vent rib and target adjustable rear sight. There are a few minor rubs but is still 98% or better, showing little to no use. Near new inside and a silky smooth action. Comes in the original black plastic carry case with two Allen screwdrivers, along with one extra magazine, large bag of internal parts including three firing pins and enough small parts to nearly complete the guts of another gun, an extra pair of grips, and an Auto Mag Pasadena oil bottle. Latch on plastic case is broken. Also included is a magazine article on this gun from November 1971, some loading data, and set of reloading dies, a couple hundred prime shells and a holster. Basically everything you need to shoot and/or repair this pistol if needed. Bottom line; one of a kind, early production, employee built bonus gun of which no other exact pistol exists. It is hard to believe, looking at this gun that it is nearly 50 years old, as the design is as radical today as it was in 1971. A few other unique big bore semi-automatics were to follow such as the Coonan and the Wildey, but this was the one to start the entire craze. This pistol has taken on as much fame in Hollywood as it has in the gun world, first appearing on the big screen in 1981 in the motion picture "Scared to Death", it really hit the red carpet in 1983 with the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry release of "Sudden Impact", along with six other motion pictures through 1995 and was in the hands of drug dealer Ted Nugent in an episode of Miami Vice season two.

(C) Fabulous Alvin White Engraved with Gold Colt 2nd Generation Single Action Army Revolver (1957).

Lot # 505 (Sale Order: 6 of 626)      

Inside left grip frame is stamped with Alvin White engraver stamp. Alvin white was one of the most respected master engravers to work at Colt in the 20th century. Alvin White's style of scrollwork is influence by British taste of the late flintlock period. This gun exhibits Type C engraving. You can find an entire chapter devoted to White in the book "Colt Engraving" by Wilson. He made custom guns for the likes of J. Edgar Hoover, Presidents Nixon, Ford, Johnson and Kennedy as well as entertainers, congressmen and prominent business men. The book states he did not do a lot of American type scroll in punch dot, he would obviously do whatever the customer wanted as this Colt exhibits typical American style of Helfricht and Nimschke. The left recoil shield has an Indian head similar to a buffalo nickel inlaid in gate and the right loading gate has the previous owner's initials "RC". Grips are two piece ivory. Entire gun is silver plated. CONDITION: Gun is new, unfired since embellished. Accessories: Case Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4" Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: Colt Model: Single Action Army Paperwork: No Serial Number: 8942SA

Barrel has identical scroll and punch dot engraving on both sides with border around barrel address. Grips are checkered ivory with an eagle on left side. Full or partial matching numbers on frame, trigger guard, backstrap, barrel, cylinder and wedge. The style of engraving from the cylinder to the scroll leaf engraving with the cross hatch edging looks very similar to that of L.D. Nimschke, which you can see these examples beginning on page 210 in the book "Colt Engraving" by Wilson. There is an 1860 Army on page 211 where the cylinder band looks almost identical. CONDITION: Gun is basically grey patina with no real noticeable amounts of any original finish, with the exception of some case colors in the recess of the loading lever. There is holster wear to the muzzle. Cylinder has all the original nipples and safety pins are gone. Wedge is loose and does not stay in; wedge set screw is worn and needs replaced. Lever appears to be a replacement. The grips have shrunk quite a bit with age cracks, plug repair on right side, checkering smooth, repaired crack on right side and repaired piece on left front toe; fit nicely at straps and base but are quite shy at top of frame. A talented gunsmith could perform the work on these to bring them back to life. Gun indexes and locks up correctly. Well-defined rifled bore with usual minor residue.

(C) Colt Model 1911 Transition Semi-Automatic Pistol (1924).

Lot # 524 (Sale Order: 25 of 626)      

Although still officially designated a Model 1911, in 1923 at serial No. 130000 Colt began production of what was to become the Model 1911A1. This featured the following changes: checkered arched mainspring housing, shortened checkered trigger, beveled trigger guard edges and new Type III hammer. This pistol was manufactured in 1924 and for all intents and purposes, it is built with most of the configurations found on a 1911A1 Model. This so-called Transition pistol had a production of approximately one year with an estimated 10,000 pistols made, making it an extremely difficult to find model, especially in high all original condition. This pistol features blued finish, pre-war fully checkered walnut grips, short checkered trigger, beveled frame, checkered arched mainspring, Type III checkered wide spur hammer, standard pre-war sights and matching number on slide. Comes with proper two tone tempered magazine. All other small parts are standard checkered pre-war type. Front grips strap retains approximately 20% original blue. Overall gun has high edge wear and muzzle wear but retains fully 80-85% original pre-war high polish finish. Bore has strong lands and shiny grooves. A fine example of a rare transition that is all original and matching, that shows wear but retains high percentage of original finish and obviously well-cared for. Barrel Length: 5" Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: Colt Model: M1911 Govt. Serial Number: C139910
