Make Amoskeag part of your estate planning and put your mind at ease.
We have worked with countless estates and trusts over the years to market lifelong collections. We have witnessed firsthand the problems that can, and often do, arise when there is a lack of estate planning.

We understand that the decision to sell your cherished collection is a very personal and emotional one for many. The negotiation and agreement to sell your collection does not need to be made by your heirs. You can play a direct role in how your collection is presented, we would be happy to accommodate any special requests and put it all in writing so your family has at the least, a plan, or if you choose, we can sign the consignment agreement to take effect upon your passing.
Estate planning is often an uncomfortable subject, being proactive and making a solid plan can add a lot of comfort to your twilight years when peace of mind is so very valuable.

30. VERY RARE SOVIET SHORTENED MODEL 1895 NAGANT DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER BY TULA
serial #2203, 7.62 Nagant, 3 3/8” barrel with an about good bore showing some oxidation and pitting in the grooves with some bright areas and strong rifling. This is an extremely desirable and late production 1930-dated variant of the Nagant revolver, officially des ignated the “revolver of lightened type”, but often called the “Commander’s Model” in collector circles. Research by the late Joe Leiper, respected authority on the Nagant revolver, indicates the final testing period of these revolvers was 1930 with the last observed gun being serial number 1441 at the time of his posting in 2010. So, this example is even later than that and is the standard length in June of 1930 and finally decided that the standard length should be retained and production of the shortened model terminated. The shortened model began production in 1912 and was produced in small numbers until the aforementioned termination date for various militia units, the post office and other organizations. This example retains perhaps 70% original bright blue with areas flaking and toning to gray-brown and gunmetal patina along with a few areas of old light pitting and minor oxidation. The small parts retain generous brilliant fire blue with loss due to some old pitting and all markings remain intact and strong, the right side of the frame showing “C” in a diamond inspector mark and circled “K” accuracy test proof. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good condition with moderate overall wear and lightly chipped points. The lanyard ring has been lost to the years as has, strangely, the sideplate screw. The sideplate is matching the frame and the Tula-marked cylinder is mismatched numbered “2182” but has obviously been with this gun for a long time given the consistent patina. The revolver bears the correct features for a shortened model with the frame screws on the right side concealed by the grip panel, lower front sight blade and rounded top edge of hammer. The action seems to function well mechanically. One of the most desired and prized pieces for any advanced Russian or martial arms collection. (13B12103-64) {C&R} (4000/6000)

94. COLT DETECTIVE SPECIAL DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER IDENTIFIED TO THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT
serial #353115, 38 Special, 2” barrel with an excellent bore. Most police guns have no doc umentation as to who carried or used the firearm but this gun is one of those rare treats that includes a list of officers the gun was issued to between 1927 and 1967. The factory letter indi cates this gun shipped with a blue finish but it was later refinished in nickel during the period of use. The Detroit Police reportedly refinished their early Detective Special revolvers in nickel using a local firm to carry out work before later ordering nickel-finished guns directly from Colt. It retains about 97-98% reapplied nickel showing a tiny ox idation blemish on the cylinder, loss on the muzzle from lightly dressed impact marks, and handling marks. There are small impact marks on the butt that were probably left during the refinish to leave the police rack number intact. The fully checker un-numbered square butt walnut grips feature silver Rampant Colt medallions and rate excellent. The proper fixed sights are intact and the action appears to function mechanically. The backstrap is marked “DETROIT POLICE” and the butt is marked “No. 5179”. These early guns were not marked with the “Detective Special” moniker, which in fact came into use after this specific Detroit Police contract. A factory letter indicates this gun shipped on June 18, 1927, to the City of Detroit Police Department with the above police markings and inventory number, in a 75 gun shipment. Also included is a copy of a Detroit Police inventory card showing the seven different officers that were issued this gun, the last was for the purpose of purchasing the firearm. It also has paperwork by the purchasing officer requesting to acquire his service revolver or a substitute, which is what this gun was, a copy of his license to purchase, and a list of crimes covered by the “Women’s Division” which, presumably one or more of these officers may have been assigned. A great find for the police firearms collector. (8B12103-14) {C&R} (1000/1500)

The grips are factory hard rubber stocks numbered to another gun featuring a Rampant Colt in an oval, the right panel shows moderate wear with handling marks and slight chipping while the left panel shows heavy wear, moderate tool marks along the backstrap, chip missing on the heel, and handling marks. The backstrap is numbered to another gun, the front sight has a small hole drilled in the base toward the front, the revolver functions mechanically with correct timing and lockup. The base pin and base pin bushing appear to be later non-factory parts and the base pin retention screw is proud of the frame when tightened. Henry Nettleton’s inspection mark appears on the frame and triggerguard strap, the three line patent dates are soft, and no U.S. markings remain visible on the frame. A nice project gun or an interesting curiosity for the Colt collector. (8A12084-1) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)

The pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good plus condition as lightly cleaned with scattered remnants of light dings and handling marks, the toe of the buttplate proud of the wood; the stock appears entirely unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, the barrel correctly undated with the drawing number beneath the handguard, a circled “WP” proof and Ordnance Bomb stamped beneath the operating rod, the parts show Winchester drawing numbers, and the receiver leg is properly “WIN-13” marked. The rifle features a proper Winchester gas cylinder, Winchester front sight with flared “ears”, lock bar rear sight drums with the rounded bars and Winchester-style arrows, and an arsenal relieved operating rod; the gas cylinder screw is a later 2-slot example. Included is a “Certificate of Authenticity” from the CMP serialized to the rifle. A fine example of the last of Winchester’s M1 production, a must-have for the serious M1 collector.

pressor, retains approximately 97% gray Parkerized finish. The bore rates very good exhibiting light pitting in the grooves and otherwise strong rifling. The most noticeable apology is that approximately 1" of the breech end of the barrel was removed to allow fitting with the inert front trunnion The receiver retains about 98% finish and allows full disassembly of the stock assembly, cover, hanger and feed assembly, and forend assembly. The charging handle is permanently welded to the receiver and is inoperable. The Bakelite grip, forearm, and stock are in very good condition, showing moderate surface wear including small scratches and a couple of shallow bruises typical of field use. Despite this, they still present very well. An original padded sling is included. The M60 is one of the most recognizable weapons to come out of the copters and gunboats. This is one of the finest M60 displays

Argentina bought in excess of 20,000 pistols from Colt over a seventeen-year period but less than 5% were in the original 1916 contract making them highly desirable. (31A11728-724) {C&R}

The metal markings are largely intact and crisp, only the “(eagle) / 135” waffenamts and Reich sadler firing proof on the side of the receiver being softly struck, and all the serial ized parts are matching to the pistol, including the grooved firing pin. The only apology is the trigger plate number having been factory double struck from what ap pears to be “06” to “09”. The pistol retains the standard open sights with the noticeable addition of a small amount of brass to the front sight blade. Included is one blued-bodied Bakelite-based fxo-coded and “37” waffenamt marked magazine showing some

The metal surfaces retain perhaps 65-70% original thinning blue with large areas toning to gray-brown patina, high edge wear, scattered small spots of light oxidation.

The oil finished pistolgrip alnut stock rates excellent showing a few scattered small handling marks. The rifle features National Match sights, a few H&R G.I. parts in the trigger group and includes a Springfield Armory Picatinny rail aluminum scope mount. No magazine is included but are readily available. A nice example of these well-made civilian copies of the U.S.G.I. M14 rifle. (25A11897-43) {MODERN} (1200/1600)
mains in fine condition and is etched with wide foliate motifs and gold gilded foliate flourishes, the obverse with liberty caps and the reverse with stands of arms and a nice somewhat folky etched Federal Eagle with “E. Pluribus Unum” in foliate riband. The blade retains perhaps 70% nice brilliant fire blue terminating in foliate tendrils and mixing with some areas of old oxidation staining. The remaining surfaces of the blade shows generous flashes of their original bright polish with some areas of old light pitting approaching the ricasso and tip. The main edge shows some old nicks and dings to be expected but they are relatively minor. The brass mounts are a pleasant ocher patina showing some scattered old dings and a few areas of verdigris along with a healthy amount of original tarnished silver finish. The characteristic eaglehead pommel remains well defined and handsome while the original reeded ivory grip is in lovely condition displaying a rich patina and nice fit throughout. A correct style original leather scabbard with brass mounts is included though it appears to be for a slightly shorter blade (perhaps 29” or 30”), or some material was lost at the tip long ago. The scabbard is otherwise in fine condition with some overall light flaking and hardening of the leather and the stitched seam mostly intact. The mounts are loose and perhaps show an old light cleaning now toned to a pale goldenrod patina. This is a very handsome antique s aber that would make a fine addition to any early American martial sword collection. (13C11968-3) (1000/1500)
112. ASTRA MODEL 900 SEMI-AUTO PISTOL
serial #1047, 30 Mauser, 5 1/2” barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this Spa nish broomhandle pistol retain about 90-92% original blue showing mild high edge wear and scattered light oxidation, a bit more noticeable along the left side of the barrel. The bolt is mostly bright and the hammer shows smooth gray case-hardening with a little mild oxidation staining. The remaining small parts retain a healthy amount of nice brilliant fire blue with light staining and the proof marks along the right side are a bit softened as they were applied before final finish and show the earlier lion proof. The left side Astra markings remain strong and the left side of the frame beneath the grip panel is also stamped “ <SPAIN> 1928 1047”. The grooved walnut grips are stamp-numbered matching the gun and remain in near excellent condition showing some finish wear and a few light dings. The floorplate is mismatched numbered “8138” and the action seems to function well mechanically. A fine and early example of these quality C96-style pistols. (13B12074-1) {C&R}
serial #9511, .44 cal, 8” octagon barrel with a mostly bright scattered light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. This U.S. Army-inspected Old Model Army revolver is missing its loading lever assembly but otherwise remains in fine condition, the barrel retaining perhaps 40% original bright blue flaking to deep gray-brown patina and showing some old
patina, the hammer shows good silvery case-hardened patina and the proper base pin retains good fire blue. All markings remain intact and strong with good sub-inspector stamps on the major components and the smooth walnut grips rate very fine with some dings and edge wear, the left panel retaining a very good inspector cartouche. The silver cone front sight is intact and the action is partially functional, the cylinder often does not time without manual assistance. A very good and rather early Remington percussion revolver that no doubt saw service in the Civil War. (13B12108-1) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
about .72 cal, 42” barrel with an oxidized bore. This musket was converted to percussion utilizing the drum and nipple method, though not a method prescribed by the major Confederate arsenals and firms that performed conversions around the time of the Civil War it was otherwise a very common procedure and obviously done during the period of use. The hammer is also an old period commercial-style replacement and a couple of the flintlock component screw holes remain vacant in the lockplate. The plate retains good markings with bold “VIR GINIA” stamped above “Manufactory” in script, the manufactory marking with some honest softening around the edges, and the rear with “RICHMOND / 1818”. The inside of the lockplate shows a small “W” stamp along with a small “0” assembly mark which is also visible on the major internal components. The metal surfaces show an old cleaning mostly toned to a gunmetal gray and mild gray-brown patina with scattered old dings and partially
shaped ramrod is present and the lock seems to function normally. Made in the county’s first state-run armory, the vast majority of these muskets were still in their original flint at the outbreak of the Civil War and were issued as-such in the early years before a conversion scheme was initiated by the Confederacy. This is a good example with a lot of character for the antique U.S. martial arms or Civil War collector. (13C118811) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
MASSACHUSETTS FULLSTOCK FLINTLOCK MUSKET
metal surfaces are mostly a medium gunmetal patina with gray-brown undertones and scattered old oxidation and light dings, the breech area showing some heat coloring. The barrel is marked by both A.H. Waters of Milbury and John Mason of Shrewsbury while the lockplate shows A.H. Waters marking and address, some of the letters appearing to have been refreshed and some of the flintlock parts being more modern replacements. The lock shows light foliate motifs at the rear and is equipped with swan neck cock and bridled roller frizzen. The barrel is secured with three keys without escutcheons and the brass fittings include the nosecap, dual faceted ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, triggerguard with rear spur, rather wide buttplate with faceted heel, solid patchbox, oval rear lock escutcheon and teardrop front escutcheon. The patchbox is rather utilitarian but endearing with its bulbous pointed end, wavy line border and fine line pointed accents at the rear edge and around the screw heads. The s appears to be plain maple and rates very good plus showing some scattered thin cracks and small chips along some of the edges and other light handling marks scattered about. The checkering show honest wear and the stock features a graceful rounded left-side cheekpiece and a little bit of silver wire inlay around the upper tang. The v-notch rear leaf sight with elevation screw appears to be an older replacement and the front sight is a brass blade. A brass-tipped hickory ramrod is present (the brass tip being a repurposed cartridge case) and the lock seems to function normally. A rather handsome Massachusetts fullstock for the American antique arms collector. (13B12003-2) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
MARKED BY
shows American “(Eagle Head) / 453” inspector stamp below the Russian imperial eagle and the walnut stock and handguard remain in very fine condition showing some scattered small mild abrasions and old dings, with honest darkening from the years and retaining fine original oil finish and nice raised grain. The stock retains crisp markings with fine “Angliiskii Zakaz” roundel on the left side and “(Flaming Bomb) / US” surcharge stamp along the underside of forend. The front barrel band screw tension nut is missing but this is relatively minor, the cleaning rod is intact and the serialized parts are matching. A fine example of these desirable Mosin rifles for the martial collector. (13C11981-13) {C&R} (1200/1800)
ting for a few inches nearer the muzzle and otherwise strong rifling. This is a nice example of the famous “destroying angel” which saw extensive service in the Crimean War, inflicting dreadful long-range casualties on the slowly advancing Russian ranks at the Battle of Inkerman. While only in service for a couple of years due to it being supplanted by the P.53, these rifle-muskets proved to have a lasting effect on small arms combat going forward. These arms were contracted through various Birmingham commercial makers and the metal surfaces of this example are mostly a medium gunmetal patina with gray-brown undertones and some areas of cleaned light pitting and oxidation staining. The barrel shank shows the expected period Birmingham proofs and the exterior of the lock is unmarked, showing just simple line bordering and a little embellishment along the top edge of the hammer. The inside of the lockplate is stamped only with a small “H” and we decided not to remove the barrel from the stock to check for its maker as it seems very tightly fitted and
the forward barrel wedge is not sitting quite flush, the stock also showing a small flake forming on the right near the front wedge cut out. So, we did not want to antagonize this further. The walnut stock is otherwise in very fine condition retaining strong original finish and nice raised grain showing some scattered light dings and a few tiny drying cracks. Stock edges are also excellent throughout and the ramrod channel shows crisp stock maker’s marking “T. EDWARDS”. All brass hardware is a pleasant ocher pa tina and the original ramrod is intact. Unfortunately the rear sight solder failed at some point in the past and the rear sight assembly has been lost to the years, the front sling swivel also missing. The lock is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. After the Crimean War many of these rifles were sold to the Confederacy for use in the Civil War and usually bear one of their acceptance stamps. Confederate or not, most P.51s did not survive making them extremely desirable and important ad ditions to any advanced antique martial arms collection. (13D11981-5) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)

Style II Whitney with slightly thicker wrist and double-pointed frizzen spring extension and there are some areas of old pitting and shallow dings or impact marks above the touch hole but despite these peculiarities, which are obviously extremely old, the arm appears to be original flint in every respect. The barrel has mostly toned to an attractive rich plum-brown patina while the lock plate shows some areas of lighter smoky gray patina and the pan is a fine untouched greenish-brown tone. The bands and other fittings are a similar consistent honest patina as the barrel, the buttplate with scattered old pitting. The lockplate retains a very good “N. HAVEN” in riband marking while the breech retains a fine sunken “P” proof mark and the top of the bayonet lug near muzzle with a “V”. There are some interesting period field repairs to this gun as the lock screws were apparently lost at some point and large iron pins which have had their ends peened over installed to se-

The gun features double triggers, extractor, automatic safety and German silver bead front sight. Weight is 6 lbs. 1 oz. and the action seems to function well mechanically. A fine Prussian double.

This gun has standard Single Action Army features and all appropriate parts are correctly numb to the gun. The gun functions mechanically with the exception the half-cock notch will need attention as the hammer will fall i trigger is pressed and it should not be loaded until addressed by a professional.

Abel & Company of Syracuse, New York for customer E.N. Laboult.

The checkered walnut grip panels remain in nearexcellent condition with very good fit, minor heel wear, and a few spots of softened checkering; each show two hollowed lightening cavities on their interiors and the original grip screw yoke and grip screws remain intact. The square-channel rear sight is integrated into the barrel latch and the round blade front sight is neatly pinned in place providing a scant but serviceable sight picture. Barrel-to-frame fit is sound, the ejector functions as it should, and the gun appears to function well mechanically with sound timing and lockup in both single and double action; a plain two-piece box with handwritten end label is included, likely a factory article.

The barrel is secured by four small brass keys without escutcheons and the remaining brass fittings include the nosecap, rather long dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, triggerguard with rear spur, crescent buttplate and food chopper lock screw escutcheon.

There is no ramrod present, the rifle is equipped with a single traditional trigger and sighted with a fine v-notch semi-buckhorn rear sight and medium brass blade front. The lock is not very crisp but seems to function normally and overall length is about 61”. No doubt a very handsome and well-made long rifle in its day it still retains much of its charm.

AMERICAN MIDWEST FULLSTOCK PERCUSSION LONG RIFLE

Neave & Son of Cincinnati and the fittings are of brass consisting the nosecap, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, thin triggerguard with rear spur, crescent buttplate and lock screw escutcheon of vaguely food chopper shape. The maple stock rates very fine having darkened somewhat from the years and showing some scattered light dings and handling marks. The stock retains nice edges and shows lively grain figure throughout. No ramrod is present and the rifle is sighted with a fine v-notch rear sight and German silver blade front. The lock with double set triggers is single acting and will require mechanical attention as the adjustment screw appears to be broken in the threads and the rear trigger will not set resulting in the hammer not being able to be dropped if cocked. Overall length is about 58”. (13B11579-33) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)
areas while the magazine follower shows much of its nice brilliant fire blue. The Spanish crest along the receiver ring has softened slightly but the markings are otherwise quite strong. The smooth walnut stock and handguard rate very good plus showing honest overall wear with a few mild abrasions and dings. The stock markings are a bit soft but remain legible showing matching serial number along the left side and Spanish crest over “1894”. The rear sight slider is missing and all of the serialized parts are otherwise matching. A very respectable Spanish Mauser that very likely saw service in the Spanish American War.

382. SPANISH MODEL 1893 MAUSER BOLT ACTION RIFLE BY LUDWIG LOEWE
good condition as cleaned showing some thin drying cracks along the edges and the buttstock rather shy of the tangs.

The Winchester hard rubber shotgun buttplate remains in very good plus condition. The rifle is sighted with a Marble’s u-notch rear leaf sight and Sheard front. The hammer appears to have seen some work as its rear end is exposed above the action when it is down but the action otherwise seems to function normally.

The stock shows interesting period repairs to a large missing section above the lockplate and small chip ahead of the lockplate, these areas replaced with somewhat crude shaped pieces of lead or pewter; the repairs are rather endearing and a testament to the rifle’s honest use. The maple stock otherwise rates very good showing some thin lengthy cracks along the sides of the forend and scattered handling marks. Only one barrel pin is present and the rifle is sighted with a semi-buckhorn v-notch rear sight and scant silver blade front sight. No ramrod is present and the lock with double set triggers seems to function normally. A rather attractive percussion rifle. (13B11955-13) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

HALFSTOCK RIFLE BY ALEXANDER AGERident rifling and some material packed at the breech that does not appear to be a ball. The barrel shows remnants of an old plum-brown finish with scattered light pitting and oxidation staining. The barrel shows decorative helical zigzag motifs around the sights and is engraved with maker’s name in script “A. Ager”, and the barrel is who was a prolific commercial supplier.

The nosecap is pewter and the brass fittings include the tailpipe, dual spur triggerguard, crescent buttplate with rather pronounced heel, toeplate, pendulum patchbox and decorative lock screw escutcheon. The patchbox and toeplate show some light hashmark embellishments around the screw heads and simple borderlines. The maple stock rates about good with an old break through the wrist that flexes slightly, lighter dings and remnants of a period black varnish. The stock shows some subtle grain figure and there is a scant squared-off left-side cheekpiece. A rather short simple wooden ramrod is present and the rifle is sighted with v-notch rear sight and German silver blade front. The lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. Ager was active in Harrison County, Ohio from about 1848-1886. (13B11955-10) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

pipe, somewhat rudimentary triggerguard that shows some tool marks and dressed areas, crescent buttplate, long toeplate with point finial and rather abstract-shaped lock screw escutcheon. The curly maple stock rates very good plus showing some scattered thin cracks and minor chips with a repaired 2 1/4” chip above the lockplate. The stock exhibits fine grain figure and has a graceful left-side cheekpiece. The barrel key has been lost to the years leaving it loose in the stock and a rather short brass-tipped hickory ramrod is present. The rear sight dovetail is vacant and the rifle is sighted with a later replacement blade front sight and a rather rudimentary peep sight screwed into the stock atop the wrist. The lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. (13B11955-15) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)
388. U.S. MODEL 1888 TRAPDOOR RIFLE BY SPRINGFIELD ARMORY
breechblock shows “MODEL 1884” designation and all markings remain intact and mostly strong.

389. COLT MODEL 1849 POCKET PERCUSSION REVOLVER
serial #220595, .31 cal, 5” octagon barrel with a partially bright good bore showing some scattered light oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1862-made revolver have toned to a mix of medium gunmetal and mild gray-brown patina with scattered old dings along the sides of the barrel and some minor pinprick pitting. The barrel shows strong New York address while the scene along the six-shot cylinder is largely intact and quite strong with one area obscured by some old dings or tool marks. The brass triggerguard and backstrap are a pleasant deep goldenrod patina with rem nants of silver finish lurking about the protected areas. The backstrap is neatly inscribed “To Cpt. Alfred J. Hooker / From th Officers of the 106th N.Y.V.R.”, we feel this may be later applied as it is rather too crisp but otherwise well-executed in the period style. The smooth walnut grip remains in very fine condition retaining about 90% original varnish showing some light handling marks and dings along the bases. The serialized parts are matching except for the wedge which is an un-numbered replacement. The hand spring is worn so the cylinder does not rotate reliably though when pointed downward timing and lock-up are good. There is an Alfred Hooker of the 106th Regiment, New York Infantry listed in soldier databases. The Ogdensburg Journal lists him as killed in action at the Battle of Monocacy Junction, July 9, 1864.

Worcester markings while the sides of the frame are embellished with wide factory foliate motifs. The scrollwork along the nipple shield exhibits some softening and one of the barrels is inscribed “John Batcher / Fifth N.Y. Vol.” We believe this inscription to be later applied as it is unusually crisp and not matching the wear of the balance of the arm. The smooth walnut grips rate near excellent with flaking original varnish and some light handling marks. The action seems to function well mechanically. There is a John Batcher listed in the soldier databases under the 5th Independent Battery NY Light Artillery, but there does not appear to be one for any other “5th”, such as the Infantry R ment (Duryee’s Zouaves).

The wood shows lovely figure throughout and the coarse checkering remains mostly strong. The arm is sighted with a v-notch rear sight and small German silver blade front.

The smooth walnut stock rates about very good having darkened from the years and showing a few scattered thin drying cracks, small sliver at nose and other light dings. A somewhat short replacement iron ramrod is present and the rear sight leaf is broken. The lock otherwise seems to function normally. The included description tag from a previous auction indicates this rifle belonged to James Madison Leary (1833-1898) of Brooklyn, N.Y. He was a second lieutenant in the 11th N.Y. Infantry Fire Zouaves and captured at Bull Run on July 21, 1861. After the war he served in the NYPD and this musket was apparently found in the basement of the family home by Leary’s great-great-granddaughter. (13B11649-6) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

The stock retains a handful of crisp markings including a large asterisk
by a few state militias after the Civil War. (13B12000-4) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)

Veteranen Schuetzen Munchen”, seeming to indicate a prize for the shooting master of this event in Munich, perhaps held in memoriam for war veterans.

The barrel has toned to a pleasant deep plum-brown patina showing some for the sight radius and there are subtle flats on the sides nearer the breech as well, the top of the barrel also with what is perhaps maker marking though it is very soft and only partially legible. The lockplate is a period commercial offering by Lane & Read of Boston and is a pleasant silvery case-hardened patina with some light foliate embellishments, the hammer skirt with some old damage, and the trigger with a nice curlicue. The brass fittings are a mild goldenrod patina and consist of dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, triggerguard with simple decorative extension, buttplate and simple lock screw washer. The stock appears to be plain figured maple and remains in about very good plus condition showing a little added varnish with a few small slivers and cracks along the edges of the forend and some lengthier thin drying cracks and filled insect holes along the sides of the butt.

A rather short hickory ramrod with broken tip is present and the rifle is sighted with v-notch rear sight and somewhat bent brass blade front.

The barrel is a deep plum-brown patina showing light to moderate old pitting its full-length with the breech area bearing strong Japanese markings. The brass fittings are untouched and mostly a nice dark black-ocher patina. The pan cover has been lost to the years and the tail of the serpentine also broke off long ago so it no longer catches at full cock. The fittings are quite spartan and utilitarian, the only real decoration being some rather endearing little brass and ivory cherry blossoms acting as the barrel pin escutcheons with one additional one on the left side of the buttstock and there are two missing (one from each side along the forend). The hardwood stock rates about very good with honest darkening from the years, thin flexing cracks along either side of the tip which are a bit lengthier on the right side and a 4” thin chip on the left edge nearer the breech. The wood shows nice raised grain throughout and there is no ramrod present. A classic Japanese Tanegashima musket. (13B11955-11) {ANTIQUE} (500/700)
