Chicago Fire Arms Co, The Protector .32 RF extra Short Radial Palm Pistol
Lot # 12 (Sale Order: 12 of 391)
Our Assessment:Originally developed by a French inventor named Jacques Turbiaux, the "Le Protector" pistol is a fascinating little machine. Turbiaux made some in France, but soon licensed the design to Peter Finnegan who produced them at his Minneapolis Firearms Company which was then moved and became the Chicago Fire Arms Company which sub-contracted production to the Ames Sword Company. Like many other manufacturers and inventors of the time, Finnegan hoped to take advantage of the Chicago World Fair in 1892 to sell a huge quantity of his Protector palm-pistols, contracting for 15,000 to be made. There were only about 13,000 made, taking some 12 years to sell all that were produced from 1892-1898.
While the pistol may look a little odd, it is quite ergonomic and manages to pack seven rounds of .32 extra Short into its radial cylinder. The mechanism is essentially that of any other double action revolver, except that the trigger is a lever on the rear which is engaged by the palm of the hand the cylinder is radial, rotating around an axis perpendicular to the bore with the cartridges pointing away from the axis of rotation. The sideplate can be removed by rotating it and then the trigger can be depressed slightly to remove the cylinder for loading and unloading.
This example is in gorgeous condition. It retains nearly all of its original nickel finish, strong mechanics, serial matching parts, and the bore condition indicates it has seen very limited, if any actual firing. This fascinating little gun will make a great addition to a collection of pocket pistols and is sure to be a conversation starter with its unique appearance.

Beautiful Custom Ball & Williams Custom 1864 Ballard .22 LR 31" Single Shot Rifle
Lot # 24 (Sale Order: 24 of 391)
Our Assessment: Taken from Bill West, "By 1863, the Ballard was well known and in popular demand. The name was pleasing, and military trials had indicated that the gun was as sure fire as the rimfire cartridges. Merwin & Bray's enthusiasm for the gun gave it wide publicity." The rifles were made for military contracts and also insporting configurations. They could be had for both hunting and target shooting. The target rifles were marketed to competitors in "Match Shooting", a sport which was extremely popular from about 1871 to 1917. The Ballard rifles challenged the Sharps, Remington, Maynard and Winchester rifles, and were well liked. This one has been restored and is dressed in sporting rifle trim. The metal finish has been restored and is now a rich blue and vibrant case color. The stocks are wonderfully figured checkered walnut with a straight grip, straight comb, cheekpiece, and a Schuetzen buttplate. Not only is it good looking, but it has been modified to fire a round you can actually find and shoot! This a beautiful rifle that will add to any collection and be fun to shoot with ammo that is easily found and affordable! New life breathed into an old classic. Please see our photos and good luck!
