This lot consists of 5 boxes of Obsolete Vintage .22 Winchester Automatic Rim Fire Ammunition, designed specifically for the Winchester Model 1903 semi automatic rifle.

There are 3 Remington boxes, 1 Peters, and 1 Western. The Western box has Peters cartridges inside. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge was popular at the time, so to alleviate concerns that black powder .22LR ammunition would be used and foul the action, the dimensions were changed just enough that the .22 Win Auto will not chamber and fire in any other firearm, nor will the other .22 Rimfire cartridges work in the Winchester 1903 Rifle. This ammunition is in Very Good condition.

Our Assessment: Around the 1880s, Colt was looking to diversify but both Remington and Winchester had the rifle market sewn up. Besides their lever-actions, there were also new slide action rifles: the user pumped a moving arm set under the barrel and around a tubular magazine, kicking out a spent round and loading a new one with every “stroke”. Colt concentrated on this design concept and in 1884 introduced a gun with a short slide action that was so slick and so fast; they dubbed it the “Lightning”. The advertising said it all: “Nothing was faster than lightning”. Dr. William H. Elliot, a dentist by trade, designed the gun. Half hobby, half side job, Elliot liked to tinker with things and over the course of his life came up with at least 130 inventions. Since he lived in Ilion, New York, he often walked down to neighboring Remington and showed them the interesting things he was working on and when Remington didn’t bite on his new rifle design, he sent a letter to Colt, who loved it.

The handy rifle’s tubular magazine could hold as many as 16 rounds, depending on caliber, which made it very attractive. It came in three varieties: small, medium, and large. Each of these guns had the same set up, with a deep-blued finish, case hardened hammer, American walnut stock and fore-end, and open rear and front sights. They were light, going 6.5-pounds or so. The medium frame guns, chambered for .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40 Winchester calibers, marketed as 32, 38 and 44 CLMR (Colt Lightning Magazine Rifle), were the most popular, using some of the same cartridges as Colt’s Single Action Army and with ammunition already being produced for Winchester’s rifles. Ultimately, the rifle was discontinued as Winchester and Colt came to the agreement that Winchester would produce rifles, Colt would produce handguns, and nobody needed to make the market competition get ugly.

This example is a fascinating one for Colt collectors, one of 401 which were ordered by the San Francisco Police in 1898. Chambered for .44-40, the rifles all had 26" round barrels and most saw limited use while in SFPD’s care. This rifle is in Fine condition as Antique. It retains about 90% of its metal finish, a nice bore, intact markings and strong mechanics. This will make for a wonderful example of a scarce San Francisco Police Colt Lightning and would be an excellent addition to any safe in America.
