Whitney-Kennedy .40-60 Lever Action Sporting Rifle

Whitney-Kennedy .40-60 Lever Action Sporting Rifle

Lot # 86a (Sale Order: 101 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 1,800High Estimate: 2,700
Provided in this lot is a Whitney-Kennedy Lever Action .40-60 28” octagon barrel sporting rifle. Made by the famed Whitney Arms Company in Connecticut, the Whitney-Kennedy repeating rifle was one of the finest lever action rifles of the early cartridge period and was a direct competitor of Winchester and Marlin. The company goes all the way back to when famed inventor Eli Whitney began making the Model 1798 flintlock Musket on contract for the government of the United States. Norm Flayderman writes in his classic work Antique American Firearms, “Eli Whitney and the company that bore his name are as familiar to collectors as Colt, Smith & Wesson and Winchester. There is no disputing Whitney’s stature among American arms manufacturers and inventors. No other American gun maker produced such a broad range of arms over as many historic and important eras as did Whitney. The name appeared on many models and styles from the earliest American flintlocks to lever action repeating rifles and included a host of handguns from percussion to breech-loading metallic cartridge types…” The Whitney-Kennedy lever action repeating rifle was made from 1879-1886 and was considered one of the strongest and smoothest rifles of its type. Only approx. 15,000 of all types were manufactured before production ceased. The earliest rifles had the “S-Lever” which was changed to the more familiar “loop” style seen on most lever action rifles to this day. Whitney-Kennedy rifles were made in small frame size (for the Winchester 1873 cartridges .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40) and large frame size (for the Winchester 1876 cartridges .40-60 to .50-90). Both frame sizes were made in the sporting rifle style, carbine and military musket. Considering frame sizes and different styles of arms, any kind of Whitney-Kennedy lever action firearm was a very limited production rifle. Since all of the production of this rifle was made during the Frontier Period, most of these robust arms saw hard service in the Western United States. The Whitney-Kennedy was considered such a superior weapon that in 1888 Winchester Repeating Arms bought out the entire company and ceased production of all Whitney arms! Today, surviving specimens are few and those encountered on the collector market usually show very hard use and often abuse. This late model example with serial number S617 was made in 1886 and has the desirable loop lever.” This exact rifle identified by serial number is listed in the book The Burgess Long Range Repeating Rifle Model 1878 Including Serial Numbers and Configurations of Burgess, Kennedy Rifles (etc.). It is listed as a Whitney-Kennedy rifle being made in 1882 as a .40-60 with octagon barrel. While this Whitney-Kennedy rifle has seen frontier service, it remains fully functioning and complete. The barrel top is correctly and clearly stamped “WHITNEYVILLE ARMORY. CT. U.S.A. KENNEDY.” “40-60” is also stamped on the barrel top ahead of the receiver. The upper tang is stamped with correct various patent dates ending with an August 12, 1879 stamping. Overall metal shows a deep, uncleaned patina, and the walnut stock and forend while showing typical of hard frontier use and handling are basically sound. The crescent butt plate has the correct location for a sliding brass door for storing cleaning rods This is an exceedingly limited production rifle and a rare offering on the collector market today. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Winchester Model 1873 Cleaning Rod

Winchester Model 1873 Cleaning Rod

Lot # 87 (Sale Order: 102 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 250High Estimate: 450
Original Winchester four- piece cleaning rod for the famed 1873 Model rifle. Each rifle in .38-40 or .44-40 caliber had a sliding brass door compartment in the butt plate and was equipped with a cleaning rod consisting of four pieces with screw threaded ends. Since these rods added weight and often rattled inside the butt stock, it was common practice to remove them. Today, they are next to impossible to obtain. This original set consists of one slotted end section, two double threaded mid sections and one end section with correct brass knob. When assembled it measures approx. 27 inches long. It is in excellent uncleaned and unpolished condition!

Winchester Model 1873 .38-40 Lever Action Rifle

Winchester Model 1873 .38-40 Lever Action Rifle

Lot # 88 (Sale Order: 103 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 2,300High Estimate: 3,200
Winchester 1873 octagon rifle in desirable, large caliber .38-40, serial number 167514, made during the Indian Wars/Frontier Period of 1884. This is the classic “Gun That Won the West!” An early and fine condition example, this 135 year old Winchester still retains fine deep aged blue patina on the barrel and magazine. The 24” octagon barrel also retains excellent and clear Winchester markings as does the upper tang. Walnut butt stock is of a better grade than usually found on standard rifles and shows very desirable tight wood to metal fit, indicating that this rifle’s wood has never been sanded or refinished. It correctly has the sliding brass door compartment in the butt plate for storing cleaning rods. This fine 1873 rifle also retains a very tight action and strong springs. The sliding dust cover on the receiver top is intact (these are usually missing) and the loading gate retains good deep original blue. The un-polished brass lifter on the receiver bottom is correctly and sharply engraved with “38 CAL” and shows an attractive mellow patina. The lever catch is also intact, and the screws are excellent. This superior, large caliber Model 1873 is in better condition than normally encountered on the collector market today. Even the bore is in fine condition and shows strong rifling. Has a buckhorn rear sight and small blade/bead front sight. A fine example of a rifle produced in a factory before the use of electricity that is as good and solid today as it was on the day it was made. The Model 1873 was the standard for lever actions throughout the Frontier Period in the West which, in some areas like Montana lasted well into the twentieth century. Most surviving specimens show heavy use and often abuse with broken or missing parts making this example far better than normally encountered. This rifle, in the very desirable large caliber .38-40, recently came out of Colorado. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Native American Tacked U.S. Springfield Model 1866

Native American Tacked U.S. Springfield Model 1866

Lot # 89 (Sale Order: 104 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 1,250High Estimate: 2,450
Included in this lot is a Native American captured/used historically significant U. S. Springfield Model 1866 .50-70 caliber rifle. This was the first center fire rifle issued by the U.S. Government mainly for the Indian Wars. All were conversions to cartridge-firing breech loading rifles made from Civil War U. S. Springfield Model 1861 .58 caliber muzzle loaders. This was the rifle used in the last battles of Red Cloud’s War in the famous battles known as the “Wagon Box Fight” near Fort Phil Kearny in Wyoming on August 2, 1867, and the “Hayfield Fight” the previous day on August 1, 1867 near Fort C. F. Smith in Wyoming. In both instances soldiers from each fort were away performing wood cutting or hay gathering tasks when large numbers of Lakota Sioux attacked. Unknown to the Indian attackers, the soldiers were armed with the new Model 1866 .50 caliber breech loading rifles. After the first volley was fired by the soldiers, the Indians, believing the soldiers now had to reload their muzzle loading rifles, charged. Instantly the soldiers reloaded their new cartridge rifles and fired again. Confused by this rapidity of fire, the Indians withdrew and eventually abandoned the fights. It was only the new Model 1866 rifles that allowed a small number of well armed soldiers to hold off a superior number of Indians. This rare example shows typical Indian usage. The barrel has been cut to approximately 25” which made it easier to handle on horseback. Often these shortened rifles were used by Indians for “Buffalo Running” in which horses were galloped into herds of fleeing buffalo and shots were fired at point blank range. This type of dangerous hunting was considered great sport as well as providing sustenance for the tribe. The rear barrel band is missing from this rifle and has been replaced with rawhide. This process was accomplished by tightly wrapping “green” or fresh wet buckskin and then sewing the bottom with sinew. When the leather dried, it shrank and hardened to form a very tight bond. The leather wrapping on this Springfield is stained and shows age, but is still sound with the stitching complete. The stock is decorated with brass tacks and interestingly, has a brass military eagle button used in the center traditional “cross” pattern. Also interesting is that this central pattern on the right side of the stock contains both a cross and a “circle” pattern. Both were important and spiritual symbols for Northern Plains tribes like the Sioux and Cheyenne. All metal parts retain an uncleaned dark patina and the butt plate shows typical heavy pitting. The breech block is clearly stamped “1866” over the correct eagle head stamping. “U.S.” marking on the top of the butt plate is still visible. The lock plate also correctly stamped with the “eagle” and “U.S. Springfield” as well as the date 1864 (this was the original Civil War lock plate that was correctly converted to breech loading in 1866). The wood shows dark age and staining, but has never been sanded, cleaned or refinished and is solid without cracks or damage (the dark lines coming back from the breech are black powder fouling stains made when water or solvent was used to swab out a black powder fouled bore and the excess ran down the stock! Very common in frontier used rifles). The barrels on Model 1866 rifles were left “in the white” meaning they were not blue'd as later guns were. The metal surfaces on this barrel have never been cleaned or polished and now have a natural very dark aged patina which is important. When decommissioned from the military, many Model 1866 Springfields were sold to buffalo hunters in need of an inexpensive yet powerful and accurate well-made rifle. One can only speculate how this powerful .50 caliber rifle found its way into Native American hands. This firearm has history with the U.S. soldiers who fought in the West and later as an all-purpose hunting and fighting weapon for the Indians! A key firearm of the early post-Civil War/Indian Wars of the West. This is an uncleaned example worthy of the finest firearm collection or Native American Artifact collection or museum. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

World War II Nazi Walther P38 9mm Pistol

World War II Nazi Walther P38 9mm Pistol

Lot # 90 (Sale Order: 105 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,600
For your consideration is a World War II Nazi German Army P38 9mm double action pistol. This was the rugged semi-auto sidearm that replaced the more fragile Luger pistol. The P38 became the mainstay handgun issued to German troops in the 2nd World War. Unlike its predecessor, the P38 could be fired after the first round had been chambered and the hammer was in the down/safe position by simply pulling the trigger which cocked the hammer and fired the round simultaneously, hence the term double action. The P38 was known for incredible durability and the ability to function under the harshest of battlefield conditions. This was especially apparent on the Russian front during the worst muddy or freezing conditions. It was also a very popular bring-back war souvenir by our returning victorious GIs. Those examples, are lacking “import stampings” are almost certainly war bring-backs. This example with the code ac was made by the Walther factory. The serial number 1772 with letter suffix “a” indicates this handgun was manufactured in 1945. The pistol is in remarkable condition retaining nearly all the blue finish with crisp Nazi acceptance marks and proof marks on the right side of the slide and correspondingly correct “P38” markings on the left side of the slide. The action is tight and fully functional and the bore is mint with bright with sharp rifling throughout. Correct grips and magazine intact. Serial Number: 1772a. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Southern Plains Missouri War Axe Tomahawk c1850-60

Southern Plains Missouri War Axe Tomahawk c1850-60

Lot # 91 (Sale Order: 106 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 6,000High Estimate: 8,000
This is an exceptional and authentic circa 1850-1860 Southern Plains Native American Indian “Missouri War Axe” tomahawk from the ex-collection of Bruce VanLandingham. The Kiowa Comanche war club tomahawk shows a “Missouri War Axe” design with a large, triangular-shaped hand forged iron head. The head shows a weeping heart cutout (cut out) in the center of the blade and an early solid wood haft handle with traces of old dark green pigment mineral ocher paint, much of which has flaked off from age. Along with the paint the war club has been artfully adorned with brass trade tacks and a long, frilly long hand cut fringe drop or wrap off the bottom end of the handle with old trade clothe which has been held onto place with additional brass trade tacks. All the trade tacks show a solid brass construction with a square shank, a true attributed to its authentic original age. Provenance: From the previous collection of Bruce VanLandingham of Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collection community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector Bruce also was the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman which was both part museum and gallery. The piece was purchased directly from Bruce in the mid-2000’s at Santa Fe by the current collector/owner along with about 10 other fantastic items. Bruce VanLandingham purchased the piece from a large collection of Kiowa Comanche material out of North Texas. The term "Missouri War Axe" was coined by American Indian weapons collectors to describe this particular style of tomahawk. They were first discovered by Lewis & Clark on their 1804-1805 expedition financed by Thomas Jefferson, which sent them exploring up the upper Missouri River basin. Meriwether Lewis wrote about these weapons and sketched one in his journal, stating that the local Indians were fervently requesting the expedition blacksmith to make additional examples for them. He went as far as to state that it was the only item the Indians were willing to trade corn, grain and other expedition necessities for and that manufacture, and trade of additional axes is what solely got the explorers through the winter of 1805. Only a small handful of tribes were known to have used this style of tomahawk and in only one specific region. They were made in small numbers, making early surviving examples such as this extremely rare and historically important. The wonderful original piece shows proper signs of wear and true Indian use during the Indian Wars period. The axe head measures overall 8.5 inches long by 4.5 inches wide across the bottom of the blade. Overall the tomahawk measures 22 inches in total length with an additional 16-inch-long fringe.

Pawnee Missouri War Tomahawk w/ Human Teeth c.1850

Pawnee Missouri War Tomahawk w/ Human Teeth c.1850

Lot # 92 (Sale Order: 107 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 6,000High Estimate: 8,000
The lot features a wonderful rare and unique Pawnee Missouri War Axe tomahawk that features a brass chain drop with sixteen human teeth tied onto it dating to circa 1850. The Pawnee Indians were known to have been brutal opponents and would often mutilate their war victims’ bodies including removing the noses, ears, fingers and teeth after battle. They were known to make necklaces and other embellishments out of the captured victims remains. For additional documentation on this, see Baldwin (1997) “Early Knives & Beaded Sheaths of the American Frontier” page 66. This tomahawk war club, which dates to circa 1850’s, is attributed to the Pawnee Native American Indians in Kansas and features a hand-forged axe head that has a rare and artful pewter silver four-point morning star cutout (cut out) inlay in the center of the blade. Along with the morning star inlay the tomahawk also shows a heavily filed ridged line over the eye hole and the haft has a fine serrated “staircase” cut bottom end, both being truly artful additions. The serrated “staircase” cut bottom end on the solid wood haft is a documented authentic feature on early Missouri War Axes. The drop shows a chain link design with trade thread tied on human teeth totaling sixteen along with some porcupine quilled ties with old tarnished brass trade beads holding two feathers. The piece was originally recovered with two juvenile Golden Eagle feathers as it was pictured with in the 2009 book, “The Mark Francis Collection of American Indian Art” on page 126 figure 198; and in the 2010 book, “The Missouri War Axe: War Tomahawks of the Plains and Prairies” by Mark Francis on page 58 figure 68. To comply with Federal wildlife laws regarding bird of prey feathers, the eagle feathers were removed and replaced with two Turkey feathers. Provenance: Truly a wonderful rare piece from the collections of Professor John Harbert and Mark Francis and being documented in two books as mentioned above. This is truly a unique and exceptional weapon of the Prairie region with wonderful history and a good original shiny and rich patina. The term "Missouri War Axe" was coined by American Indian weapons collectors to describe this particular style of tomahawk. They were first discovered by Lewis & Clark on their 1804-1805 expedition financed by Thomas Jefferson, which sent them exploring up the upper Missouri River basin. Meriwether Lewis wrote about these weapons and sketched one in his journal, stating that the local Indians were fervently requesting the expedition blacksmith to make additional examples for them. He went as far as to state that it was the only item the Indians were willing to trade corn, grain and other expedition necessities for and that manufacture, and trade of additional axes is what solely got the explorers through the winter of 1805. Only a small handful of tribes were known to have used this style of tomahawk and in only one specific region. They were made in small numbers, making early surviving examples such as this extremely rare and historically important. The head measures 8 inches in length by 4 ¼ inches wide across the bottom of the blade with a total length of 19 inches and the chain drop hangs an additional 17 inches long.
The lot features a wonderful rare and unique Pawnee Missouri War Axe tomahawk that features a brass chain drop with sixteen human teeth tied onto it dating to circa 1850....more The Pawnee Indians were known to have been brutal opponents and would often mutilate their war victims’ bodies including removing the noses, ears, fingers and teeth after battle. They were known to make necklaces and other embellishments out of the captured victims remains. For additional documentation on this, see Baldwin (1997) “Early Knives & Beaded Sheaths of the American Frontier” page 66. This tomahawk war club, which dates to circa 1850’s, is attributed to the Pawnee Native American Indians in Kansas and features a hand-forged axe head that has a rare and artful pewter silver four-point morning star cutout (cut out) inlay in the center of the blade. Along with the morning star inlay the tomahawk also shows a heavily filed ridged line over the eye hole and the haft has a fine serrated “staircase” cut bottom end, both being truly artful additions. The serrated “staircase” cut bottom end on the solid wood haft is a documented authentic feature on early Missouri War Axes.

Shawnee Pipe Tomahawk from Fort LeBoeuf c. 1874

Lot # 93 (Sale Order: 108 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 5,000High Estimate: 8,000
This is an excellent original circa 1874 Eastern Woodlands pipe tomahawk that came from a private of material from the Erie County, Pennsylvania Historical Society. The tomahawk is attributed to the Shawnee Native American Indians in the Erie County area. The blade is hand-forged and features hand-stippled engravings on both sides that read, “Made by LC Flint, a Shawnee Indian” Below this engraving is an additional engraving on the blade in Pennsylvania Dutch dialect stating, “A blacksmit apprentiss under Ira Skiff Fort LeBoeuf Pennsylvania 1874 A.D.” The spelling is accurate for Pennsylvania Dutch along with the addition of “A.D.” in reference to the death of Christ. There was a blacksmith named Ira Skiff who has been documented as working at Fort LeBoeuf (Le Boeuf) and he did have several Shawnee Indians working under him. The war club also shows a solid ash wood haft and the original clean out plug still intact. The haft shows hand-burnt designs etched into both sides as shown. There is a conical, tin smoking tip on the bottom end of the pipe. Almost identical cone shaped smoking tips made of tin have been documented on several early Eastern Woodlands spike tomahawks in the Peterson Tomahawk Book. Provenance: This tomahawk was featured in the 2009 book, “The Mark Francis Collection of American Indian Art” on page 79 figure 132, 133 and 134 as shown and is from the ex-collection of the Erie County Historical Society. Early forged pipe tomahawks with engraved blades are very scarce with this example showing fine original condition.

Cree Presentation Dag Knife Mid-19th Century

Cree Presentation Dag Knife Mid-19th Century

Lot # 94 (Sale Order: 109 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 5,000
This is a wonderful original American Indian Dag knife attributed to the Cree Native American Indians and dating to circa Mid-19th Century. This “Chief’s Grade” or “Presentation Grade” knife features a solid wood nicely figured grain handle / grip that is secured with seven silver pins and rivets. This style of ornate dag knife is referred to as a “Chief’s Grade” or “Presentation Grade” knife as they were given to Chief’s and tribal dignitaries during trade negotiations and treaty signings. The forged iron knife shows a raised median ridge running down the center of the blade, a documented early weapon features also seen on dag knives dating to pre-1860. Th dag fighting knife is adorned with brass trade tacks at the pommel or end along with two at the bolster on one side and one with a silver pewter crown emblem on the other. The crown emblem indicates that the dag knife was likely of British manufacture for the fur trade. American Indian early dag knives are commonly referred to as “Beaver Paddle/ Beavertail” dag knives. This is due to the fact most dag knives were traded on the frontier along the Great Lakes region through the St. Lawrence seaway westward by early fur traders. From the Great Lakes region on westward the knives became very popular among the Northern Plains/Upper Plateau tribes such as the Cree, Metis, Blackfoot, Nez Perce, Chippewa/Ojibiwa and Shoshone. These were made to be killing weapons, this is why dag knives show a clean long double-sided blade without any serration as they were for battle. Unlike other knives worn by Indian Warriors the dag knife would have been worn around the Indians neck on his chest. The knife shows a rich original patina and signs of age and use with minor nicks and expected wear, otherwise the piece displays very well. Provenance: From the Ben Thompson Collection, a noted war club and tomahawk collector and author / expert. The piece comes from the same collector as the Dag Knife sold by our company on 4/29/2017 for $10,200 (with premiums) that was authenticated by the Sotheby’s expert David Roche and from the same collection as the Cree Dag Knife with Sheath that sold for $12,300 (with premiums) at our companies 8/25/2018 sale. The piece shows the proper signs of age and use with minor dings and scratches and a fine patina. Measures overall 13”L.

Moore’s Patent Firearms Co. Front Loading Revolver

Moore’s Patent Firearms Co. Front Loading Revolver

Lot # 97 (Sale Order: 112 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 1,100High Estimate: 1,500
Inlcuded in this lot is a spectacular condition factory engraved Moore’s Patent Firearms Co. front loading revolver. The Moore’s Patent Firearms Company was located in Brooklyn, New York. They manufactured this extremely high quality six-shot .32 caliber revolver in limited numbers only from 1864 –1870. This unique firearm used a special “teat-fire” cartridge that was loaded from the front of the cylinder for the following reason: Smith & Wesson owned the Rollin White patent for a “bored through cylinder” capable of taking a typical rimmed cartridge (as still in use today), and the Moore’s teat-fire cartridge was a very successful attempt to circumvent Smith & Wesson’s monopoly on metallic cartridge revolvers! The ?Moore revolver was so successful, Colt bought them out in 1870 to eliminate the competition! This example shows excellent original silver plating on the brass factory engraved frame. Only a very slight amount of brass shows through the silver plating which is unusual as these small revolvers are usually found with no silver remaining. Too, mechanics are often found in poor condition and rarely working properly. This example is still in remarkably excellent mechanical condition. The cylinder and barrel assembly show bright nickel with very clear markings. The barrel is lightly engraved and is marked “MOORE’S PAT. FIREARMS CO. BROOKLYN, N.Y.” while the cylinder is also very distinctly marked, “D. WILLIAMSON’S PATENT JANUARY 5, 1864.” The serial number 10367 is stamped under the 3 ¼” barrel. Loading the Moore revolver simply required pulling down on the swivel loading gate on the right rear of the barrel in front of the cylinder, inserting a special teat-fire cartridge and pushing up the loading gate until it snapped smartly in place. This revolver has lovely rosewood “bird’s-head” grips and measures an overall length of approximately 7 ¼”. An outstanding example of one of the America’s earliest cartridge revolvers and seldom seen in this superb state of preservation. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Remington Elliot Ring Trigger 32 Caliber Derringer

Remington Elliot Ring Trigger 32 Caliber Derringer

Lot # 97a (Sale Order: 113 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
Particularly fine condition rare Remington-Elliot four-barrel .32 caliber Derringer. This distinctive, ring trigger activated pistol was manufactured in very limited numbers from 1863-1888. Today, surviving examples are seldom found in working condition. This Remington is in surprisingly crisp, perfect mechanical condition and displays very tight lock-up of the four barrels to the frame. The Remington-Elliot was referred to by Remington as their “New Repeating Pistol No.2” (the “No.1” was a similar pistol, but in the smaller .22 caliber). Interestingly, by pulling the small barrel catch forward, the four-shot barrel cluster tilts downward to load. Bringing the barrels back up closes the action at which time the ring trigger can be brought forward and then pulled rearward to cock and fire the first barrel. With each pull of the ring trigger, the firing pin that is mounted inside the frame revolves to the next barrel. This mechanism is completely internal which kept it free of dust and pocket debris. Being of hammerless design, there was no chance of this pistol getting caught on pocket fabric as it was drawn for use. The barrels measure a scant 3 5/8” and the overall length of the weapon is a mere 5.” There is a matching serial number of 16310 on the inside of the frame and on the underside of the barrels. The frame still shows a fine aged original nickel finish which is unusual as most of these pistols were carried daily causing the finish to wear completely off. The barrels retain a lovely dark aged patina with no evidence of ever being cleaned or polished. The left side of the barrels is clearly and correctly marked “MANUFACTURED BY E. REMINGTON & SONS,” etc. plus “ELLIOT’S PATENT MAY 29, 1860, OCT. 1, 1861.” The small German silver front sight is intact and the original rosewood grips are in excellent condition. These small Civil War to early Post-Civil War hideout pistols found favor with gamblers, “ladies of the evening,” well-heeled gentleman as well as back-up weapons by lawmen and outlaws alike. Remington made these firearms using the finest materials combined with superb craftsmanship. This outstanding example still has all springs and mechanics as good today as the day this pistol left the Remington factory in Ilion, New York approximately 150 years ago, an impressive testament to 19th century Remington quality. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Sharps New Model 1863 .50-70 Civil War Carbine

Sharps New Model 1863 .50-70 Civil War Carbine

Lot # 98 (Sale Order: 114 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 2,500High Estimate: 3,500
For auction is a Sharps New Model 1863 Civil War Carbine, serial number C20251, converted by the Sharps Company in 1867 from percussion ignition to take the more modern center fire .50-70 Government cartridge. This was all on contract for the U.S. Government for reissue to western cavalry units for the Indian Wars. These desirable carbines have double history in them- first as primary Union cavalry weapons in the Civil War and then a few years later sent west to fight in the Indian Wars. Many of these were later sold off as surplus in the 1870s and saw use on the frontier as buffalo guns. The Texas Rangers were known to favor this model Sharps Carbine. This particular example has the desirable original Civil War patch box in the stock. Further, it is especially interesting and historical as it shows evidence of sling carry wear on the left side of the stock (the vertical rub marks) and the ring wear spot just above the ring bar which only issued and used carbines exhibit, stock and forend show wonderful frontier use and wear, but no abuse, wood is solid, metal shows no evidence of rust or abuse, good Sharps markings on various parts of the receiver and correct “New Model” marking on the barrel, original Lawrence patent rear sight mated to frontier copper front sight blade, exc. mechanics and even has a bright, excellent cared-for bore! This is a particularly desirable Sharps combining Civil War, Indian Wars and vast frontier history. Few cartridge conversion Sharps carbines retain their attractive original patch boxes. You can’t find a gun with more history than this one! This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Lot # 99 (Sale Order: 115 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 2,400High Estimate: 3,200
James Reid .22 caliber factory engraved combination “Knuckleduster” revolver. One of the most recognized, yet difficult to locate firearms of the mid-19th century, the Reid “MY FRIEND” was made in fairly limited quantities from 1868 to 1882. This early brass framed example is serial number 4217 and has the scarce and desirable sliding safety bar under the frame ahead of the trigger. Only the earliest examples have this device that was not included in later manufactured guns. This excellent Reid Knuckleduster is also marked with the early and desirable “MY FRIEND” on the left side of the frame below the cylinder. The brass frame has acquired a most attractive mellow patina and shows no indication of ever having been polished. All engraving on the sides, top, front and back strap is sharp and clear. The cylinder and cylinder pin show matching serial numbers to the frame which is unusual because Reid Knuckleddusters are usually found with replaced or broken cylinder pins. The steel cylinder shows an attractive aged patina with no evidence of cleaning or polishing. Functioning of the Reid was accomplished by simply pulling back the hammer and firing the weapon with the small exposed spur trigger. However, if less deadly force was called for, or if the pistol was out of ammo, one could hold the cylinder/frame in the palm of the hand with the little finger inserted through the hole in the grip and use the gun as a “knuckler” or a battering cudgel. The original patent drawings for this unique handgun show this intended alternative use, and is depicted in the classic book Firearms Curiosa, by Lewis Winant. A copy of this drawing is included. One of the more interesting and unusual of the popular hideout guns of the mid to late 1800s, the Reid My Friend Knuckleduster found favor with prison guards, lawmen as well as thugs and outlaws alike. Surviving specimens are very scarce and seldom appear on the collector market today. Those that do surface often show signs of heavy use and abuse. This is a most attractive engraved example with rare early sliding safety and original numbered cylinder pin intact. A rare acquisition opportunity for the advanced firearm collector. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
James Reid .22 caliber factory engraved combination “Knuckleduster” revolver. One of the most recognized, yet difficult to locate firearms of the mid-19th century, the Re...moreid “MY FRIEND” was made in fairly limited quantities from 1868 to 1882. This early brass framed example is serial number 4217 and has the scarce and desirable sliding safety bar under the frame ahead of the trigger.

Colt Richards Conversion 1860 Army Revolver

Colt Richards Conversion 1860 Army Revolver

Lot # 100 (Sale Order: 116 of 503)      

Low Estimate: 2,300High Estimate: 3,800
Very early Colt Richards Conversion 1860 Army Revolver. One of the rarest of the big caliber single action Colts is this factory utilization of left over 1860 Army frames, barrels and cylinders to make holster-size .44 Colt center fire revolvers. Only a very limited number of these fine frontier six guns were made from 1871- 1878. This was a time when most of the new 1873 Peacemaker Single Actions were going to fill U.S. Government contracts and this was Colts way of supplying the demand for a large .44 caliber cartridge revolver as well as using up parts. Easily identified by the conversion breech plate with integral firing pin and rear sight. The Richards conversion revolvers used Model 1860 Army barrel assemblies with the rammer housing filled and ejector fitted to the right side of the barrel. Most of these heavy holster revolvers saw hard use in the post-Civil War west. Those few of the original number that have survived to the present are often in hard used and abused condition. This example has the matching serial numbered 6” barrel marked on the top “ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA.” These rare early production examples are all in the serial range of 1-8700 with this example numbered 4510. This number is also on the trigger guard, barrel and back strap. Additionally, it has the less common and desirable 1871 and 1872 two line patent dates on the left side of the frame. Fine worn one piece walnut grips, overall a deep uncleaned brown aged patina that shows no signs of cleaning or buffing. Popular with cowboys, lawmen and gunfighters. Fine mechanically and one of the most difficult of the Old West Frontier Colts to obtain especially in this condition. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
