Terms & Conditions We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale before bidding with Dan Morphy Auctions LLC and/or its affiliates Morphy Firearms LLC, and Morphy Auctions, Las Vegas collectively referred to below as MORPHY’S. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), MORPHY’S and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

TERMS OF SALE

When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether or not you read or understand said terms.

CONDITION OF ITEMS

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with Morphy’s in request for additional information regarding the items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. However, we cannot guarantee that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in the property. Returns will not be accepted under any circumstances. All items will be available for preview approximately one (1) month prior to the auction. All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. However, we cannot guarantee that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. AUTOMOBILES – These terms do NOT apply to our automobile auctions. To view the terms and conditions for our Automobile Auctions, please go to: www.morphyauctions.com/autoterms FIREARMS – All firearms transfers will be in strict accordance with all International, Federal, State and local laws. Be sure to check your country, state and local laws before bidding. If you are unable to import, purchase or own a firearm according to your residency laws, do not bid on these items. If you bid and find out later you cannot legally own/accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract that the buyer must pay. • Condition of Firearms and Related Items o Condition is always a subjective evaluation. Final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of items.

It is not possible to adequately describe in text or photos an antique or collectible item, and many modern items, that have seen use and show wear. MORPHY’S’s goal at all times is to be as fair and honest in our catalog descriptions. MORPHY’S recommends that you personally inspect all items, or enlist a trusted professional to do so for you. o MORPHY’S will only consider a refund when there is a major description discrepancy or authenticity issue that has a major effect on value. Examples that apply are major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications. o MORPHY’S will not refund sales with buyers that have disputes regarding a firearm’s bore condition. o If the discrepancy is less than major, MORPHY’S will not under any circumstance provide a refund. This means that if you are purchasing an item and find undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fits issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, and other similar differences, it will not qualify for refund consideration. o Should the buyer have a major dispute regarding an item, the buyer must notify MORPHY’S within three (3) days of receipt of the item to receive consideration. MORPHY’S in its sole discretion may provide refunds for major description discrepancies or authenticity issues. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration. o There will be no options for refunds of any type beyond 35 calendar days from the auction date. o Paying late and thus receiving items late will not change the limitation on the dates above for refund consideration. MORPHY’S ships items in order of payment. o These terms are available only to the original buyer of record. All sales are final. • Firearms Catalog Designations o A: antique o M: modern (post 1898), Federal Firearms License (FFL) requirements apply o C: curio & relic eligible o N: National Firearms Act / Title II Gun Control Act of 1968 (Class III SOT) requirements apply o ^:Modern firearm imported from Canada, will have an unassuming marking that contains at least “BV LYNDEN WA” and any of the following not already marked on the firearm: serial number, caliber, country of manufacture, manufacturer name and model. Marking letters are 1/16” tall and just over 0.003” deep. Buyers must consider this in their bidding. Marking will not appear on antique firearms imported from Canada. • Checkout and pickup at our location: o The same person to whom the bidder number is registered must be the person to pick up the firearm(s) at the conclusion of the sale – Federal Law disallows anyone else from accepting the transfer. o Modern firearms sales to non-licensed bidders who are picking up guns at our location will require the completion of a form 4473 background check.

GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is

not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective purchasers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential purchasers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential purchaser’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All purchasers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

Portrait of Leopold I (1640-1705) anointed King of Hungary, Bohemia and Serbia and elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1658. Leopold’s reign was marked with conflicts with the Ottoman Empire in the east and with his French cousin, Louis XIV, in the west. His military career was marked with great successes against the Turks, recovering most of the Kingdom of Hungary from their hands. However, in his last war with the French coalition, the results were less than spectacular, although there were no material losses in terms of Austrian territory. This appears to be a court portrait, possibly original to the period, but likely a later 18th century copy.

318 - LOT OF 2: CASED MEDALS. This large collection of shooting medals were won by Brian Moore of California, along with the following lots 319 - 398, and were all part of his collection, which spanned 60 years. His working experience includes time spend Lockheed working on missile projects, IBM working with moon exploration as commissioned by President John F. Kennedy, and worked at Stanford and University of California in their labs. He was integral to the Moon program and worked with General Curtis Lamay and Buzz Aldrin. He invented, designed, worked on, produced, and solved many of the issues during the early days of U.S. space exploration. He also is credited with inventing and designing the first submarine with umbilical system for underwater launches of missiles in Cape Canaveral. His ability as a marksman, as evidenced by the numerous metals in this collection, was well known. He was a lifetime master in both pistol and high powered rifle. Much of his spare time throughout a span of 50 years was spent at the Napa Rifle Range, but he traveled as far as Japan as the Naval Air Station. The last time he fired a match using LOT - 318 iron sights at 1,000 yards was in Hollister, California using his National Match M1 Springfield. He started competing in 1939 and continued for 45 years. It is also very apparent that Brian had a life long love affair with all things mechanical and his passion for the shooting sports was unparalleled. This large collection of shooting medals is encompassed in two period framed collections consisting of 42 medals in each display. It would be extremely tedious to list each and every medal. Most are for revolver and pistol. The dating of the medals in Frame (A) are 1946 to 1960; the majority of the matches were shot in Oakland with some scattered NRA and National Match medals. They are all in excellent shape with ribbons. Frame (B) medals are dated 1946 to 1948 and are also in excellent condition with ribbons. Green background has some fading. It is obvious some medals have some sterling silver and are tarnished. We do not know if any are real gold. Many have the enamel decorations. 300.00 - 600.00

This example is the early FN Model manufactured in Belgium. The offered rifle retains virtually all of the expertly restored blue finish.

BATES AGED 83 YEARS ONE OF THE AMERICAN ARMY OF TWO IN THE OF 1812”. The American (sometimes Lighthouse) Army of Two is the name commonly given to Rebecca and Abigail Bates, daughters of Scituate, Massachusetts lighthouse keeper Simeon Bates. In September, 1814, Bates was away from the Old Scituate Light station with most of his family when the British landed a warship, the La Hogue, near the harbor with the intent of sending a raiding party into the town. Soon the warship launched two long boats filled with soldiers. Rebecca and Abigail, left alone with their mother at the station, realized that there was no time to warn citizens of the impending attack. Seizing a fife and drum that had been left behind at the station, they began to play. The soldiers, assuming that the sound signaled the approach of the town militia, retreated hastily. The sisters lived to be quite old, and Rebecca took to selling affidavits for ten cents apiece in later years, always swearing the story to be true. The document measures 5 x 2 1/8 inches.

763 - BUCKSKIN HUNTING SHIRT OR FROCK WITH QUILLWORK. Buckskin Hunting Shirt or Frock with Quillwork, ca. 1840’s-1850’s Early American, frontier hunting shirt or frock of buckskin leather, embellished with polychrome, quillwork decorative motifs. Quillwork style suggests a northern Plains origin, possibly Minnesota Sioux. The cut, style and trimming of the coat would suggest that it was made in the 1840’s or 1850’s. Although likely native American-made, the cut would suggest a traditional white man’s form of hunting frock in use during this time period. The breast is made to button closed with flat brass buttons of, each back is marked. “Coin” buttons of this sort were commonly produced both in England and later America during the period 1810-1840 and can be found on numerous archaeological sites of this period. The buttons are attached and “stayed” to the breast by running the shanks through a lace, which it whipstiched to the inside of the coat body and covered over with an innerfacing or partial lining down the breast front of a plaid, woolen material. This material was a type commonly procured by the United States Army in the 1840’s and 1850’s for various uses, including lining soldiers’ uniform jackets (there are extant examples of uniforms produced at Schuykill Arsenal using this lining material and it is also listed in supply inventories). The Army was also responsible for overseeing the Indian Agencies during this period and this material was also procured for use at the Indian “factories” or trading posts. The hunting frock show considerable usage during the period, with wear and staining as to be expected, including fading and abrasion to the polychrome quillwork. Rare. Provenance: private Western collection until c. 1998; purchased by the city of Harrisburg, PA for a proposed Wild West Museum; deaccessioned and sold in 2013; private collection to present. 4,000.00 - 8,000.00

Lenah’s parents were David Hummel (1761 – 1793) and Mary Toot (1764 – 1858). An interesting feature is that Daniel Baum’s parents were unknown on the genealogical site, but this sampler proves that his father was Michael Baum. The sampler reads: “In memory of my beloved grandfathers Michael Baum was born July 1749 and departed this life Nov 17th 1795 aged 46 years. The Lord gave and the Lord hat taken away and praised be his holy name. Also David Hummel who was born Jan 9th 1761 and departed this life Oct 3d 1793 aged 32 ys. The great creature wise and true has an undoubted right to reign he made and lent them unto you till he should call for them again. He has a right to all his own o praise him for his blessed loan.” The entire piece measures 15 x 15 inches. The sampler has some condition issues. It was sewn on a very fine homespun linen backing. There are a number of areas lacking the original material. The piece has browning, fading, and staining, but is now framed in acid-free matted background that helps to hide the areas of loss to the sampler. The frame is also professionally done with museum quality UV protected glass. 4,000.00 - 5,000.00

It was photographed and featured in the book “The Last Muster” by Maureen Taylor as part of the Valley Forge Antiques Collection. Maureen’s book featured surviving photographs of soldiers from the Revolution as old men. It was appropriate to include in this book as the surviving veterans are featured in the 1845 celebration.

LOT - 790 LOT - 789 789 - FOLK ART SAND PAINTING OF THE PHILADELPHIA WATER WORKS & SCHUYLKILL RIVER. Probably circa 1880. Measures 23-5/8 x 17-¾ inches. Good condition with some fading and minor staining. There are a few scratches on the face of the painting. 500.00 - 800.00 790 - SMALL PORTRAIT OF PAT LYON, THE FORGE. Patrick Lyon was a wealthy, successful man when he commissioned Neagle to paint him, but he asked the artist to depict him as a blacksmith, the vocation in which he had begun his career. In the early nineteenth century, people who could afford such images of themselves usually preferred to be depicted in formal dress and surrounded by expensive objects, implying their aristocratic status. In contrast, Lyon explicitly told Neagle that he did “not wish to be represented as what I am not—a gentleman.” Lyon’s prejudice against gentlemen stemmed from the fact that early in his career he was wrongly accused of theft by a group of Philadelphia bankers and imprisoned. Consequently, he preferred to be depicted as an honest workman rather than as a member of an upper class that he associated with injustice. Lyon also insisted that the jail in which he had been held appear in his portrait. Neagle included a view of its distinctive cupola in the upper left-hand corner. Despite the exceptional nature of this painting, it was widely admired in its time and gained the young artist many commissions. It is still Neagle’s most famous work. This portrait of leading Philadelphia businessman and inventor Patrick Lyon is unusual for its era because of its depiction of a subject engaged in manual labor. John Neagle was only twenty-nine when he received the commission for this work. He had begun his career by apprenticing to a coach decorator and then studied painting with his fellow Philadelphia portraitist Bass Otis. Neagle eventually began to work in the Romantic style under the combined influence of Gilbert Stuart, whom he visited in Boston in1825, and Philadelphian Thomas Sully (Neagle later married Sully’s daughter).Through them, he learned to compose large-scale portraits in the European old master tradition. Neagle’s indebtedness to Stuart in particular is evident in the painterly surface of Pat Lyon and in the atmospheric darkness of the blacksmith shop. However, the picture’s ties to European styles end there. Measures 7.5 x 6 inches – The frame itself is cracked in two places and repaired. There is some crazing and general wear to the paint. It is overall in great condition. The title of the piece is written on the back. It has not been authenticated to Neagle’s hand. It is possible that this could be a practice painting, after his hand, or actually by Neagle. 500.00 - 800.00

LOT - 815 815 - POWDER HORN ENGRAVED WITH FIRST STEAM BOAT. This horn, with a curved body, depicts “The Accommodation”, the first steam boat entirely built in North America. The carving on this horn is probably the only surviving view of this ship. The Canadian paddlewheeler Accommodation was the first successful steamboat built entirely in North America. The ship was inspired by Robert Fulton’s success on the Mississippi River. Financed by brewer John Molson, she was constructed by John Jackson and John Bruce in Montréal in 1809, using engines built in Forges du Saint-Maurice, Trois-Rivières (long known for ironmongery). At a cost of £2000 she had two open-faced paddle wheels and an optional sail. Her maiden voyage was a thirty-six-hour run from Montréal to Québec City on November 3, 1809. She was not a commercial success; by 1810, Molson had lost £4000 on her, and she was broken up for scrap. She nevertheless pioneered steam packets on the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes; by 1819, there were seven in regular service on the river, while the lakes featured Frontenac on Lake Ontario, General Stacey Smyth on the Saint John River, and Royal William (famous for making the first transatlantic crossing under steam in 1831) on the Québec City-Halifax run. Measures 12 5/8 inches long. The horn has a rich dark patina with some scattered insect holes. There was once an iron staple in the plug, which is now absent.

LOT - 818 818 - ALABAMA BANDED ENGRAVED HUNTING POWDER HORN. This early piece of Alabama folk art history is very scarce, as most collectors have never seen a carved horn that can be tied to an Alabama origin. The carver of the powderhorn was Gessner Harrison Tutwiler. His name is carved inside a banner on the horn: “Gessner H. Tutwiler of Green Springs”. Tutwiler was born on August 20, 1862 in Green Springs, Alabama. His parents were Henry Tutwiler and Julia Ashe. Julia’s great grandfather was Samuel Ashe (1725 – 1813), the Revolutionary War patriot, founding father, and Governor of North Carolina. Tutwiler carved the horn for fellow hunting friend B.F. Symons. Symons’ name is carved much larger on the horn. There are other initials, including Tutwiler’s (G.H.T.) carved on the horn as well. It was probably a presentation piece. The horn depicts a hunting scene with dogs in the front chasing a fox with mountains, trees, and fauna in the back. The other scene is a rising sun in the mountain background. There are also some flowers. There is an old note that was in the horn that reads: “Gessner Tutwiler of Greene Springs Indian Scout July 6, 1781 Yorktown Campaign see Virginia Militia in Revolutionary War by J. Mcallister”. The reference to the Revolution was probably for one of his ancestors with the same namesake. The horn measures 10 3/8 inches long. Great patina to curved body. There is some minor wear marks from age and use, but overall in excellent condition. 4,000.00 - 6,000.00

The fabric piece is in good shape. The note has some browning & staining to the bottom. The Union Army Balloon Corps was a branch of the Union Army during the American Civil War. It was organized as a civilian operation, which employed a group of prominent American aeronauts and seven specially built, gas-filled balloons to perform aerial reconnaissance on the Confederate States Army. The Balloon Corps with a hand-selected team of expert aeronauts served at Yorktown, Seven Pines, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and other major battles of the Potomac River and the Virginia Peninsula. The Balloon Corps served the Union Army from October 1861 until the summer of 1863, when it was disbanded. U. S. President Abraham Lincoln became interested in an air-war mechanism for reconnaissance purposes. This created a notion at the War Department and at the Treasury that some sort of balloon aviation unit need be established and headed by a “Chief Aeronaut”. Of those seeking the position, only two were given actual opportunities to perform combat aerial reconnaissance, Prof. Thaddeus Lowe and Mr. John LaMountain. 300.00 - 500.00 864 - 1853 INVITATION TO REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERAN TO ATTEND JULY 4TH CELEBRATION.

Contains 35.36 ounces of solid coin silver. Some minor wear from age & use. William Lukens Elkins (May 2, 1832 – November 7, 1903) was an American businessman, inventor, and art collector. Although his father was a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, William Elkins was born in Wheeling, West Virginia. He started his working life at a grocery store in Philadelphia where his family had returned to live. He next worked for a produce company and eventually formed a partnership with Peter Saybolt to operate their own produce business. By 1860 Elkins had bought out his partner and built the operation into the largest store of its kind in the United States. Always looking for business opportunities, William Elkins soon recognized the potential for the usages of oil being pumped from the developing oilfields of Northwestern Pennsylvania and became a pioneer in the refining of crude oil. In Philadelphia he founded Monument Oil Works that built a primitive oil refinery which he constantly modernized and soon expanded LOT - 876 into other locations. His company was the first to make gasoline and was involved in the production of asphalt. In 1875, the increasingly wealthy Elkins entered into a partnership with Standard Oil, becoming a significant shareholder in that oil giant. In 1873, William Elkins first met Peter Widener and the two became trusted friends who would partner in street car and railway businesses that would expand to major cities across the United States and make them both enormously wealthy.[6] A member of the Board of Directors of numerous enterprises in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, among his investments William Elkins held sizeable share positions in American Tobacco Company and International Mercantile Marine Co. In 1858 William Elkins married Maria Louise Broomall with whom he had two daughters, Ida Ameila Elkins (Tyler) and Eleanor Elkins (Widener), and two sons, George W. Elkins and William L. Elkins, Jr. Ida Amelia married Sydney F. Tyler, bearing no children. Eleanor married George Dunton Widener, with whom she had three children, and lost her husband and elder son, Harry, in the April 12, 1912 sinking of RMS Titanic. George W. Elkins married Stella McIntire, and they had four children. One daughter, Stella, married George F. Tyler, and founded the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art. The other daughter, Louise, married Wharton Sinkler. A son, William McIntire Elkins, was a book collector whose collection of early Americana is held at the Free Library of Philadelphia. William Elkins died at his summer home, at age seventy-one on November 7, 1903 in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Among his philanthropic gifts, William Elkins left $240,000 to the Masonic Home for Girls in Philadelphia. He bequeathed his art collection to the city to be given following the death of his last heir. 2,000.00 - 3,000.00

Good condition, with dark dry patina, a few scattered areas of insect damage, LOT - 921 and a few age cracks. Nathaniel Fenton was born in 1763, in Mansfield, Connecticut and died in 1846. He is buried in Allen Cemetery, in the town of Poland, New York. Fenton enlisted in Continental army at Mansfield, Connecticut in August of 1779 under Colonel Abbott, and from May through December 1780, under Colonel Stare. Then, from April, 1781, for one year fought under Colonel Dana. He was awarded a pension and is mentioned in the Pension List of 1840. After the war he resided for a time in Mansfield, then in 1791, he moved to Otsego County, New York and lived there until 1823, when he moved to Chautauqua County. He was a prominent and an active citizen and was locally known as Colonel Fenton. His last public act was the reading of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July, 1843. His death was announced by the Jamestown Journal on February 6, 1846, titled “Another Soldier of the Revolution Gone.” and it stated in his obituary, the following passage: “In the following April he again enlisted. The troops to which he belonged, were stationed upon the lines in Connecticut and New York. Those years was full of incidents, many of which were of thrilling character. The most noted of the engagements in which he bore a part, - were those at a place known as Frog’s Neck. In the first the Americans suffered great loss. In the retreat, as he had been carrying the wounded, and helping them from the field, and, being consequently delayed, he was pursued by a mounted British officer, at the top of speed, who challenged him to surrender. At this time he could hear distinctly the labored breathing of the horse. He turned upon his pursuer and shot down his steed. This probably saved him from death or captivity - perhaps both. There was a deep ditch in the line or retreat, and a marsh beyond it; and after they had passed the first, there were many of his comrades shot down; some by his side and others beyond him, but he had the good fortune to escape unhurt. In a few minutes after, they reached the marsh, where they were secure from pursuit. He and his party were pursued by more than 300 British Cavalry. Afterwards, he learned that the officer had his leg broken by the fall. This occurred in the month of June. In July following he was in another battle, and at the same place. In this the Americans were successful. The remainder of that year they were encamped at Frog’s Neck, and in the vicinity.” 4,000.00 - 6,000.00

955 - (A) NEW ENGLAND FOWLER SIGNED BY WELCOME MATHEWSON. Manufacturer: Mathewson Model: Fowler Barrel Length: 50” FFL Status: Antique Very few guns made by Mathewson are in existence, by some accounts, only three are known, and by others, as many as seven. Welcome Mathewson was a prolific gun maker from Burrillville, Rhode Island. For similar examples and examples by G. Mathewson, see “Rhode Island Arms Makers and Gunsmiths: 1643-1883” by William O. Achtermier, pages 56-60. Round smoothbore barrel with solid flat rib on top, signed “W Mathewson” in script, near breech. Flintlock mechanism with stamp engraved lockplate marked “A.W. SPIES/WARRANTED”. Engraved English-style brass furniture. Triggerguard with relief acorn finial, vacant wrist escutcheon with engraved urn-shaped finial at bottom, and four-tiered buttplate tang engraved with two intertwined branches. Hand-forged curled trigger. Full-length walnut stock, buttstock of typical New England fowler form, with wrist extending into comb. Shaped relief-carved panels around the lock and sideplate, and a relief carved Acanthus leaf is displayed behind the barrel tang, in the typical Mathewson style. Wooden ramrod. This fowler is complete with an archive and several books on Mathewson and New England Fowlers, including the books “Rhode Island Arms Makers & Gunsmiths: 1643-1883” by William O. Achtermier, “Images of America: Burrillville” by Patricia Zifchock Mehrtens, and “The New England Gun: The First Two Hundred Years” by Merrill Lindsay. Also includes color photographs from the Bennington Museum of a similar fowler by G. Mathewson, and a color copy of “Man at Arms: Volume four, number 6” form 1982, featuring the article “Observations on the New England Flintlock Rifle” by Donald Andreasen. Good condition, as restored. This rifle has had some professional restoration, which is not discernible to the naked eye. The forend has been replaced from the entry ferrule forward, the barrel has been extended 17 inches and blended to match patina. The reconverted lock is probably a second lock, as there are a few minor slivers replaced around the lockplate. Also, it has a rounded tail, which dates later than the gun. The wrist was broken and has been professionally restored. Barrel and lock retain an even brown patina with some pitting at breech with some scattered marks. Brass is unpolished and retains a mellow patina. Stock is very good, as restored and shows scattered marks from use and some wear to carving and a few minor losses around barrel tang. Some cracks from age beneath lock, on each side of triggerguard. Despite the well-done restoration, signed examples of New England fowlers are exceedingly scarce. This particular example, signed by a rare maker, is particulary nice and scarce. None by this maker have recently been offered for sale. This may be the only example which can ever be bought and is worthy of any serious collection of New England items or early American rifles. 12,000.00 - 18,000.00

956 - SCARCE EXPERIMENTAL WHITWORTH CANNON ON ORNATE CARRIAGE. This cannon, with its 49” tapered brass tube, is believed to be one of Joseph Whitworth’s early trial cannons. It features a hexagonal-rifled 1-1/2” diameter bore with large brass front sight. Brass trunnions cast on a block around the barrel, near the center. Slotted cascabel behind breech, attached to the threaded adjustable elevation wheel. Brass trunnion covers, pins, and treads. Whitworth made his early cannons out of brass and was known for his experimental rifling of the bores. These barrels were made at the Woolrich Arsenal Brass Foundry. His later production cannons had the same rifled bores, but were made of Whitworth compressed steel tubes. Joseph Whitworth, of England, was known as one of the most innovative ordnance designers of the 19th century, primarily for his work with artillery advancements. These hexagonal bores were known for outstanding range and accuracy. This example was found in London and was once part of the collection of Colonel Bapty until around 1919. This was one of the largest early collections of artillery and weapons in England. The tube is mounted on an ornately carved stepped Teak wood carriage on wheels. It is 37-1/2” long, 19” tall, and 10-1/2” in width. The carriage features fine relief scroll carving on all four faces of the carriage. The sides are shaped and the front has an inset panel. The top has four large iron eyes with large rings, to secure the cannon, move it, or hold it in place. It is believed that due to the naval style carriage, it was used on the Maharajah of India’s yacht. It has four wheels with brass tread, held in place on wooden axles with wooden wedges. Joseph Whitworth presented many artillery pieces to the leaders of many countries, in order to entice them to place an order for their military’s artillery pieces, from him. Excellent condition, brass retains a dark and unpolished patina with scattered dents and marks from the period of use. Carriage retains a dark, dry original finish with one small loss on the front corner molding of each side, with scattered cracks and marks due to age and shrinkage. 20,000.00 - 30,000.00

980 - (A) CASED ENGRAVED COLT 1860 ARMY REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1860 Army Serial No. 129999 Caliber: .44 percussion Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique

According to the factory letter, this revolver was part of a shipment of 1,000 guns sent on August 11th, 1863 to the New York Arsenal as a standard revolver. It is now engraved and plated. Numerous examples of rejected U.S. Government revolvers returned, engraved and sold the civilian market can be found in R.L. Wilson’s book on Colt engraving. This revolver was period engraved. The vine and scroll engraving with punch dot background has the characteristics of guns engraved by either L.D. Nimschke or his shop, including the dog’s head hammer. You will find full coverage engraving on the frame, the rebated area of the cylinder, trigger guard, loading lever, and nearly full coverage engraving of the barrel, all of which was done during the period and is of this style. With the exception of the cylinder, loading lever and hammer, the gun was fully plated. Barrel legends are sharp as new. Has matching numbers on frame, inside the trigger guard, back inside of barrel, and cylinder. It is interesting to note that this serial number on both the trigger guard and barrel are found on interior areas as the area of usual placement has been engraved. The size and style of number fonts appears identical and in our opinion was done in the same font as that used by Colt, which would be proper given that these serial numbers had to be moved due to the engraving. The cylinder was at one time gold plated; much of the plating is in the recesses and is still in the chambers, which would indicate that this revolver was never fired once finished. All safety nipples are intact, as well are the original percussion nipples. Cylinder scene is near perfect. Loading lever and hammer still have evidence of case colors. Most of the gold plating is worn off cylinder or flaked to a shiny gun metal grey. The frame and trigger guard retain a majority of the plated finish with high edge wear. The barrel has about 70% of the plating with some age freckling and brown toning. Blued barrel wedge is not numbered. This revolver is cut for a shoulder stock. There are no frame makings on left side as they have been fully engraved over. The grips are a Tiffany style cast bronze and plated; features Civil War battle scene on right panel, spikes and shield on back, and a different Civil War battle scene on left panel. Matching last three digits of serial number (999) are stamped inside. We can find no Tiffany Company markings, so it can assumed to either be unsigned or Tiffany-type. They are one piece with a separate cast grip cap of an eagle. Nearly identical grips with this decoration can be seen on page 195-198 in the book of Colt Engraving. You can see various examples of the L.D. Nimschke engraving patterns beginning on page 203 of the Colt Engraving books, as well as a nearly identical dog head engraved hammer on page 206. The rifled bore is near mint. Perfect action. This revolver is housed in a contemporary wooden case with a brass plaque on cover, lined in green velvet, original Colt stamped two cavity bullet mold, and a Watervliet wax coated box of six Army cartridges. The compartment lid and lining appear to be more contemporary, as does the label. An extremely handsome, period engraved presentation 1860 Colt Army revolver. The book on Colt engraving shows numerous examples of these Nimschke engraved 1860 Army’s with the Tiffany-style cast grips and are considered the most handsome of all percussion revolvers, and this example is in superb all original condition. 14,000.00 - 18,000.00

986 - (A) HIGH CONDITION PERIOD ENGRAVED U.S. MARTIAL HENRY LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Henry Model: Lever Action Serial No. 3056 Caliber: .44rf Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Antique This rare rifle bears all US Martial inspection and was manufactured in mid 1863. By serial number it would have been in the first shipment of 80 Henry rifles to the war department on June 20, 1863 from New Haven Arms. Government purchased a total of 1,731 arms between 1862 and 1865 in the 3,000 to 4,200 serial range. More than 200 were captured on September 1864 from the first DC regiment and were issued to the 7th, 11th and 35th Confederate Virginia Cavalry. The proper CGC inspector marks can be found at the breech of the barrel and stock. The letters, CGC as well as letter, H, are stamped on right barrel flat at breech. The letter C is stamped on the right top heel of brass buttplate. The CGC military cartouche at stock wrist is no longer visible. Still visible on right side of frame, are the letters HH. Barely visible under the engraving. CGC was the mark of Charles G. Chapman. This has the early, rounded off upper tang style buttplate. Does not have a lanyard ring in the stock. Has the early frame with slight rear bevel. Has no rear sight slot cuts in frame, only barrel. Barrel is stamped, Henry’s Patent October 16, 1860 manufactured by the New Haven Arms Company. “New Haven. CT”. Has the standard front sight, half moon rounded profile, as seen on Page 20. Has the type C folding ladder rear sight which was graduated to 900yds with 900 stamped at top of leaf. The rear stock has the slightly curved later straighter profile as seen in top photo on page 92. The buttstock screws are unnumbered, later round heads. (Proper). The buttplate screws are brass. According to the book at serial numbers above 3,000, buttstock screws were not numbered if they were not hand fitted. The brass buttplate screws are not listed as factory in the book and were probably used installed in the time of engraving for aesthetic reasons. An example of an engraved Martial marked Henry rifle can be seen on page 141 and numerous examples of Henry rifles can be seen on pages 150 to 176. The style of engraving is a flowing leaf type scroll with punch dot background on both sides with border line engraving on top and bottom of frame. Top of frame and rear tang have small single scroll and leaf in all five positions. This style of leaf punched out scroll engraving is considered to be the work of Samuel Hoggson can plainly be seen on page 150. You can see other examples of this style on page 154, 155 (Jeb Stuarts rifle). Usual engraving found on Henry rifles is simple worded text presentation with maybe some simple military motif life flags, cannons, etc. Henry number 6055, shows another similar engraved Henry done in scroll with no animals or patriotic vignettes. The prodominant style of engraving found on this Henry rifle is referred to Germanic scroll which incorporates designs, leaves and flowers. The soft brass frame of the Henry rifle lent itself to engraving and inscriptions.The toning of the brass on frame clearly indicates this engraving was done in the period probably for presentation to high ranking officer. (not to mention, nobody would engraved in modern times such an extremely valuable, high condition, martial marked Henry rifle). When the gun was taken apart, matching serial numbers were found on the lower left rail of frame and stamped inside the buttplate. Matching serial number written in pencil on the top inner channel of stock. As to condition, the barrel is extremely pleasing of soft blue brown patina with no roughness or cancer anywhere. The stock is excellent, retains a majority of its original high polished finish with usual abrasions and minor finish loss. The hammer and lever are a soft smooth brown gray patina. The action is perfect. Barrel legends are sharp. Strong rifling with black powder abrasion. All Henry rifles are extremely collectible, military rifles even more so and engraved special finished military Henry’s are exceedingly rare. Arguably the most desirable and coveted of all US Military weapons would be a prize in any collection. Rifle comes with a packet of information. All information quoted in this write up was obtained by the Definitive book on the Henry Rifle by Les Quick. A book that should be in every library. 40,000.00 - 50,000.00

This is a near mint example of the very scarce World War II German M30 Luftwaffe survival drilling rifle as manufactured by the J. P. Sauer and Sohns company. The M30 Drilling was standard issue to Luftwaffe bomber crews in North Africa and the Mediterranean Theater and was intended to provide a high quality survival rifle in the event of a forced landing. These are a three-barreled combination gun; 12 x 12 bore, over a rifled 9.3X74R barrel. These drilling exhibit the beautiful, high quality, pre-war workmanship that the J. P. Sauer and Sohns factory is noted for which consists of a high polish rust blued metal finish on the barrel with a beautiful color case hardened finish on the scalloped boxlock receiver, trigger guard, grip cap and forend latching mechanism that is combined with a hand checkered European walnut pistol grip straight comb stock with small left side roll over cheek piece and forearm that have a hand rubbed oil finish.

Rifle barrel is marked: “KRUPP-LAUFSTAHL”.

The right rear breech of the shotgun barrel also has the larger “Luftwaffe Eagle” Luftwaffe mark carrying the Nazi Swastika. The barrel has a matted rib with white metal front rifle sight and a 100 yard flip-up rear rifle sight. This drilling has a Greener type cross-bolt receiver/action with a side mounted safety lever and a tang mounted barrel selector with double set triggers. Intertwined “SS” proof for the Sauer & Sohns factory along with the Commercial Eagle “N” firing proof on the right side of receiver rail. Both sides of the receiver are marked with “J.P. SAUER & SOHN, SUHL” with a larger intertwined “SS” logo on the underside of the receiver. The stock has a black composite serrated buttplate that has the intertwined “SS” logo of the Sauer & Sohns factory in the center. The right side of the buttstock is stamped with a large prominent Luftwaffe Eagle with swastika insignia. This rifle has fine scroll engraving on the frame, trigger guard, ears, barrel release, forend metal and all screws. The external rear breech of barrels, exposed when assembled reads “KRUPP - LAUFSTAHL” and has the J.P. Sauer & Sogn, Suhl marking on both sides with some fine border engraving at barrel breech. The drilling is packed in its green re-painted aluminum case stenciled on lid with model. A very small “Eagle/2 Luftwaffe stick Eagle” proof on the very front directly above the original leather carry handle. The inside lid of the carrying case contains a black stenciled listing of the original contents of the case. The case is divided into compartments for the drilling, ammunition, cleaning equipment and sling and has a horse hair and wood dividers. A black cardboard box contains the three piece wood cleaning rod with five brushes/mops and a glass jar of Wegner’s mapox. The rifle also includes an original leather sling and two vintage ten round boxes of Norma ammunition, and a contemporary RWS ammunition for the rifle, along with three ten round boxes of Rottweil 12 gauge No. 7 shot for 2-1/2” and 2-3/4” chamber. As to condition; if a finer example exists we have neither seen nor heard of it. The Drilling shows virtually no external wear of any kind. Barrels retains virtually all of the original factory blue with minor interior takedown wear only. The case colors on frame, trigger guard and grip cap remain at 95% or better, most still brilliant. All screw heads are perfect. Wood is near mint with a couple of extremely minor impressions. Checkering is razor sharp. Arguably one of the finest Luftwaffe Drillings extant. Missing only the manual. These storied World War II Luftwaffe Drillings amongst the most sought after of all German World War II military issue weapons due to their scarcity, history and their exemplary commercial finish and quality. 20,000.00 - 25,000.00

There are several articles pertaining to Sheriff Carroll and a period picture of his weapon collection of which this very gun appears to be dead center. Carroll was elected sheriff in 1920 and also served as US Marshall in the 1940’s. Several notable kidnap and bank robbery cases rocketed Carroll into law enforcement spotlight. He won the Law Enforcement Medal of Achievement in 1945. The 1934 book entitled “The Valley of Grim Men” was dedicated to Carroll. Carroll was also featured in at least 100 detective and crime magazine articles. He played a key role in solving the kidnapping case of Claude K. Boettcher II, scion of one of Denver’s wealthiest families. He was integral in busting the Terrill-Barker gang. Carroll is considered one of the last of the old western style sheriffs and applied his trade throughout the turbulent prohibition years through numerous gun battles.

LOT - 1092

Manufactured in 1882. This U.S. service Colt began life as a standard cavalry model in 1882 and inspected by David F. Clark. During the late part of 19th century, numerous cavalry Colts were called back into service. These revolvers were made from a number of mixed parts, their barrels were shortened to 5-1/2” and were reissued to U.S. troops, many going to the Philippines for the insurrection against the Moros whom were crazed on narcotics. These guns were subsequently arsenal refinished at the time of alterations and are considered a U.S. genre of weapon unlike most rebuilds. This revolver sports the following parts: cylinder number “2763”, DFC inspected with “H” and “P”, barrel is stamped “0759” and “AP”, frame is stamped “04086”, “DFC”, trigger guard stamped “138201”, stamped “K” and butt is stamped “136334” and “K”. The refinished, original walnut grips no longer show cartouche and are slightly shy to metal. Frame has traces of case colors, barrel has approximately 20% of the original arsenal blue and grips are excellent. Frame screws are slightly marred, still retains some Nitre blue. Fine, near mint, strong bore. Cylinder indexes perfectly but does not have the four distinctive clicks. Far above average, artillery model, well cared for and clean. 3,500.00 - 4,500.00

This late S code pistol was manufactured for the Luftwaffe. It has the late front toggle link stamping “H K Krieghoff Suhl” with anchor between the “H” and “K”. Serif “S” stamped above chamber. Barrel is stamped 882 with Imperial proof which is proper as barrels were not serial numbered before 3500. With the grips off you can see an Imperial eagle stamped inside magazine release and sear. You will also find three such proof marks on right side of frame and one on right rail; three have “2” under them. These pistols were finished in a distinctive salt type blue, which gives them the commercial type hue unlike other Lugers. The late S code pistols were manufactured in 1935, first year of manufacture for Krieghoff. It is estimated that approximately 1,600 to 1,800 late S codes were manufactured for the German Air Force. This pistol is in superb condition, showing only a touch of wear on sideplate bump and tip of rails; remaining 98%. The grips are the molded brown plastic with the fine checkering. Beautiful straw colors on small parts.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1905 Serial No. 828 Caliber: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4� FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured in 1906 during the second year of production. Only 6,100 of these pistols were manufactured between 1905 and 1911 and were replaced by the Model 1911 which began production in 1912. Therefore, this is the forerunner to its more famous offspring. Production of this pistol was less than one thousand guns per year and most saw heavy use and very few have survived in such high, all original, factory condition as seen in this stunning example. The grip straps are thinning to a blue, soft gray patina and there is some light high edge wear. The balance of blue finish on the frame and slide are nearly 98%. Still has the beautiful Nitre blue on extractor. Has the round hammer with traces of case colors. Large portion of Nitre blue on sides of trigger and sports a near mint pair of diamond checkered walnut grips with fire blue screws. Bore is near mint. All factory legends are sharp.

Manufacturer: Persian Model: Luger Serial No. 31 Caliber: 9mm Barrel Length: 4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic These were manufactured for military contract sales to Iran, who purchased 1,000 examples in 1936 and 1,000 more in 1942, most of which are still in that country’s arsenal. According to my conversation with noted Luger authority Bob Simpson, Mauser made 50 Cutaways for the Persian government. This example has the Farsi mark with “1” on all parts and all matching. The inside grip frame is stamped “SO31” which would indicate the 31 pistol of the 50 total. Has all proper straw color and fire blue small parts. Left grip panel is stamped with the Gothic “S”, right panel not numbered. Does not bear Oberndorf proof marks. The Persian crest is not present above chamber as it is cut out. Pistol does not come with magazine. Typical Mauser and a nearly identical example of the different cutaway sections can be seen on page 379 in the book “Lugers at Random” by Kenyon. The pistol remains in nearly a new condition with nearly all of the original finish. Must be considered one of the finest examples of its type extant. The only noticeable wear is on a couple of the high edges of rail. A nearly impossible to find Luger, and is improbable that a finer example exists. 6,000.00 - 10,000.00

The West German firm of J.P. Sauer & Sohn has been world renowned of their quality bolt action rifles for well over a century and a half. The quality and workmanship that goes into these weapons is unsurpassed. We offer here a model extremely scarce on this side of the pond, it is not even listed in the blue book, the Sauer Model 80 Grand African. Chambered for the powerful .458 Winchester Magnum and capable of taking down the world’s most dangerous game.

LOT - 1137

While Roy Weatherby is known worldwide for his fabulous rifles built using the FN Mauser and later J.P. Sauer action, he was, in the beginning, a custom rifle maker and would build a rifle using any action the client requested. This practice ended in the early 1970’s when his business got to large to offer such custom work and a demand for his standard rifles was worldwide. Roy built this rifle utilizing a Shultz & Larson Mauser type action, an M 54 J manufactured in Denmark. It is fitted with a “Weatherby .378 Magnum” marked barrel with no provision for sights. The matted rib on frame has two scope blocks installed. The rear stock has a distinctive Weatherby profile, but from the trigger guard forward it is a much beefier and boxy design. He used a very light wood with his signature contracting rosewood forend tip and grip cap with white diamond. Sports the Shultz & Larson quick release floorplate and trigger guard. The bolt is in the white with three oil holes, but no oil grooves. Sports a Weatherby black waffle buttpad and sling eyes.

This cartridge has taken nearly every large dangerous game animal in the world. 1,500.00 - 2,500.00

LOT - 1167

This rifle pre-dates the Weatherby stamped FN Mauser action. Roy Weatherby or his shop basically built this rifle from the ground up utilizing early original FN receiver, a high polishg blue apex barrel was added. Frame was finished in a French nickel and engraved with an antique background and a German deeply cut leaf pattern. This some finish and engraving was applied to the floorplate and trigger guard. There are no deluxe inlays other than the gold owner’s plaque under the forend that is engraved with “H.G.M.”. He selected one of the finest grained walnut available and applied a beautiful deluxe checkering with diamonds and carving along the border, as style of which we cannot even find in the 1953 catalog (the earliest we have available that features styles and patterns of rifles). Of course, it has the distinctive Roy Weatherby profile with the contrasting rosewood forend tip, rosewood pistol grip cap with white diamond, a Pachmayr red waffle pad, sling eyes. This rifle is topped wit Buehler mounts and an old Lyman All American 4x scope. We would place the period of manufacture of this rifle to immediately after the war to the late 40’s. As to condition; this rifle has seen little to no use and remains in near new condition inside and out. Extremely tasteful. Not much information on the Weatherby rifles, with the exception of the old catalogs, and as more investors begin to appreciate the rarity and workmanship in these early rifles, they’re sure to find an increasing demand in the years to come, as they are as fine a rifle as any Griffin & Howe, Owens, or Hoffman rifle ever made. 2,500.00 - 4,500.00

According to the factory research this gun was produced November 28th, 1966.

Features hooded ramp front sight, two leaf folding rear sight and single trigger. Bridge is factory drilled for scope mount. Bolt is polished and balance of metal is blue finish. The pistol grip checkered walnut stock has Monte Carlo comb. Forend does not have the black tip. It looks factory but we have no way to determine as this is a factory half stock rifle and whether this was custom ordered.

Manufacturer: Winchester Model: Model 94 Serial No. SH024R2014, SH024C2014 Caliber: .30-30 Barrel Length: 24”, 20” FFL Status: Modern Referred to as the “Statehood Sets”, Winchester contracted to have one set of matching rifle and carbine made to represent each of the 50 states. Therefore, no two are alike, since only one rifle and one carbine were made. They were hand engraved by Giovanelli, a noted master engraver. Each set of guns was engraved specifically for the individual state. The majority of these were purchased by state government and institutions, and even the most knowledgeable Winchester collectors have probably never seen a set of these firearms. Each gun is brand new, never fired, in the original Winchester box with matching end label. There is a booklet that shows all 50 State Commemoratives. The left side of the frame has the seal of the state of Missouri, the 24th state - 1821. The engraver has signed the rifle on the left side of receiver. The engraving is almost Celtic in design, deep chisel engraved, the emblem is in gold and colored enamel on a French grey receiver. The rifle has a half octagon/half round barrel, blued finish, full magazine, sporting sights. The wood is a beautiful highly grained walnut stock, checkered, with rifle buttplate. Right side of frame is engraved with Winchester rider. There are no coins in the stock. This a very tasteful and arguably the most hand embellished and finished of any Winchester modern day commemorative firearm. The carbine features the same embellishments on metal and wood as the rifle. It has a 20” round barrel, full magazine, two barrel bands, post front sight, and sporting rear sight. Rear barrel band is satin nickel like frame. These are literally one of a kind, never to be duplicated, matching set, unfired, new in box with all the paperwork. Once in a lifetime opportunity to own the finest Winchester commemorative one of a kind set ever manufactured. 8,500.00 - 12,500.00

1194 - (C) U.S. SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1922 .30 HEAVY BARREL “MATCH” SPECIAL BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1922 Serial No. 1244354 Caliber: .30-06 Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic In reading the fine article by William R. Hansen in the September 2016 magazine entitled “U.S. Martial Arms Collector” published by Martial Arms expert Wayne Gagner, he writes, “...after rare, what comes next?” This is a fair question given the survival rate of original and unaltered Model 1922 heavy barrel match rifles can be counted on one hand. It is estimated that the vast majority of these rare match rifles were later altered to the type “T” variation. This rifle by serial number is listed in this fine article as example no.1 and places this rifle as having been assigned to Captain James F. Laughlin, a top rated marksman on the 1922 Massachusetts National Guard team. The right side of the stock is stamped, “Mass. Rifle Team”. Captain Laughlin made the international shooting team in 1923 scoring an incredible 248/250. These rifles are instantly recognizable to the knowledgeable collector by the following special features. Springfield Armory first assembled new and distinctively American heavy barrel rifles for the 1921 International Rifle Team held in Leon, France. The original drawing for this rifle can be found on page 106 in William Brophy’s book titled “The Springfield 1903 Rifles”. The front sight base is integral to the barrel and does not have the typical band. The scope blocks are factory mounted with no provision for rear sight and spaced 5-3/4” on center using standard AO blocks. The 1917 Enfield front barrel band to allow for the large diameter barrel. Features the NRA style pistol grip, two bolt, walnut sporter stock with wide finger grooves. Has the short stem Lyman 48 receiver sight and swept bolt stamped “WL3”. Non serif safety. Left side of stock has the deep “D.A.L.” in rectangle for Springfield Armory production 1918 - 1942. Wrist has block letter “P” in circle. Sling swivel on toe of stock. Has the Type 7 stamped, cupped steel buttplate. Rifle is in excellent all original untouched condition. The receiver remains the majority of the original factory high polish commercial type blue finish. The barrel retains 85% original factory rust blue, thinning from age. Stock is excellent with a few minor storage dings and a few bumps at the left side of forend. It is equipped with special order, adjustable double set triggers. Bore has an ME reading of 0 and a TE reading of 7. Bolt is polished in the white. Rifle is accompanied by a copy of the U.S. Martial Arms Collector magazine that features an article on this exact rifle. Also comes with a photocopy of Captain Laughlin’s shooting score from 1923 from the American Rifleman with a picture of Laughlin that appears to be him holding this exact rifle. According to the article all of the known examples are serial numbered from 124,349 to 124,889 with nine listed known examples that have been identified to date. Long referred to by knowledgeable Springfield collectors as the “ghost rifles” as they are often talked about but never seen. This may be a once in a lifetime chance to add what is arguably the rarest U.S. Springfield Model to your collection. Includes a Springfield research letter. 10,000.00 - 20,000.00

1195 - (C) EXTREMELY RARE ALL ORIGINAL U.S. SPRINGFIELD AIR SERVICE MODEL 1903 BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1903 Serial No. 860920 Caliber: .30-06 Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Arguably one of the hardest to find variations of the Model 1903 U.S. Springfield rifle is the Air Service Model. This rifle is four numbers off of the example listed in William Brophy’s Definitive Guide entitled “The Springfield 1903 Rifles” page 78. According to Brophy, this was extremely limited production with serial number ranges in the 860,000 with barrel dates early 1918. The barrel is stamped “SA4-18”. Special features on this rifle include the short 29” stock that extends just forward of front band, the stock was specially made and not cut down and does not have the hollow recess in the tip end. Another tell tale feature, the stock is not cut for a lower band retaining spring, the special band is not split, it is solid and where the swivel would normally be there is a small wood screw holding the band in place. The toe of the stock was never inletted for a sling swivel. All of these special made features are distinctive to this rifle. The shortened hand guard does not have the sight protecting hump and measures 5-3/4” long. There is no sight groove. The rear sight was fabricated from the 1905 for use only on the Air Service rifle. The walnut stock bears the inspectors cartouche on left side stamped, “J.F.C.” in rectangle. J.F. Coyle inspector from 1904 - 1918. Has the block letter “P” in circle under wrist. Smooth steel buttplate with trapdoor. Has the special extended 25 round magazine which is stamped with eagle head “X311”. Has the straight bolt. Safety has serifs, proper knurled bolt knob. Bore has an ME reading of 1 and a TE reading of 2. All metal surfaces retain the majority of their dull military 1918 era matte finish. Stock is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. Factory stamps are bold. Bore is bright. These rifles were intended as special weapons to be fired from airplanes during the first World War. Total production number is unknown but given the few surviving examples that have surfaced makes this weapon one of the most desirable of all U.S. military firearms and a must have in any advanced U.S. or Springfield 1903 collection. An opportunity not to be missed by any serious collector. Comes with Springfield research letter. 15,000.00 - 25,000.00

1196 - (C) RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 “BIG 50” SMOOTH BORE LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1886 Serial No. 149906A Caliber: .50 Express Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured in 1910. We have the privilege of offering of what may be the rarest of all standard manufactured Winchester lever action rifles. This rifle comes with a four page hand written letter from Mr. George Madis, author of numerous books on Winchesters. Madis writes, “I have carefully examined this fine rifle inside and out, and have determined it is all original as made by Winchester. According to remaining records, this rifle was made in 1910. While warehouse records are available for some of the Model 1886, no records were preserved for your gun. Under the stock, on the lower side of the upper tang is the marking C in a circle; this indicates the receiver was made of crucible nickel steel...nickel steel was used for most intrical parts of the 1886. At the front of the stock, under the receiver is the marking 1 in a triangle; this was Winchester general inspection mark indicated approval of fit and finish. On the stock under lower tang is an X, the mark of the craftsman who did the finish stock work. Inside of the buttplate is C3152 which is the number of the forging dye. Address markings are correct and found on left side of barrel flat, correct for this serial range. The “50-EX.” is also original and correct on left side...The Winchester Express front sight was provided marked, “Pat. May 4. 1902.” Rear sight is a style designated the Winchester Express graduated 50, 1 and 2. Both sights are correct and original. Upper tang are drilled and tapped for tang sight on this model. Upper tang markings are correct and original. 50 caliber 1886 Models are one of the rarer calibers, in addition, this barrel is an original smooth bore. Close examination of the bore shows that it measures .497 at the smallest diameter. This indicates an original smooth bore, since barrels, which would have been rifled would measure substantially larger in the bore diameter if rifling was removed...Most important, is the fact that the polishing marks inside the bore run length wise of the barrel indicating lapping of the bore for polishing. Polishing marks on standard rifle barrels do not run length wise...Smooth bore Winchesters are among the rarest of all Collector’s Arms. A 26” octagon barrel was furnished on this barrel and has a full magazine. On high numbers such as this we see a few guns which have magazine retaining bands without retaining pin. Retaining bands such as yours were originally made to use on takedown rifles... crescent buttplate was provided for this rifle. “Extra finish” ?, of fancier than standard grain, is seen on this rifle and a factory varnished finish was applied. In this serial range, receiver, buttplate, forend tip and most other steel parts were blued. Winchester’s high quality was the preferred blued finish for all models...This one of the rarest of all Winchesters and with its condition, age and rarity, it would be a star in any collection or museum.” In addition, letter dated May 27, 2008 from noted dealer Ron Peterson of New Mexico, provides letter as follows, “The guns of Jno W. Garrett that I purchased from family were; 1. Colt Single Action .44-40 Factory smooth bore. 2. Winchester Model 92 .44-40 round barrel marked smooth bore. I also received a picture of Mr. Garrett shooting off the back of a truck during a parade and pictures of his Winchester store around the 1920’s. When I picked up the above guns from the family they told me that a brother had another smooth bore rifle. This is the rifle you have, which is a Winchester Model 86 50 Ex smooth bore round barrel blued receiver.” We have the two photographs Ron referenced, one is dated 1918 and has beautiful Winchester store display in Colorado Springs that says Jno. W. Garrett Sporting Goods. The second photo was taken on Carnival Week in Colorado Springs August 27-29, 1912. States “Jno. W. Garrett in the Civic St. parade shooting flying clay targets with a Model 1886 Winchester rifle.” He is pictured on a wagon with a big advertising banner for his sporting goods shop shooting what appears to be this exact rifle, an all blued, 1886 full magazine, octagon rifle. Due to safety, in this crowd, he was not using rifle bullets. Now to condition; this rifle retains a minimum of 97% original Winchester factory blue finish throughout. The legends and edges are razor sharp with light muzzle wear, some very minor high edge wear. There is some minor age freckling at upper left side of frame. Little thinness of blue in loading gate. Near perfect blue at base of receiver and on bolt. Strong case colors with varnish on sides of lever, traces on hammer, even the butt plate has some remains of case colors. The wood has a few usual impressions but is near mint with no cracks. The luster of blue on frame is similar to the Colt royal blue seen on a Python. The bore and action are near mint to mint. Near mint, all original .50 caliber Model 1886’s are amongst the most desirable of all Winchesters. Add to that, the rarity factor of a factory smooth bore which Madis estimated at a fewer than six total, and add to that a story history with photographic evidence and you have what arguably is the finest of its example in the hobby. 50,000.00 - 75,000.00 364

D.M. Lefever & Sons Company operated as a separate entity from Lefever Arms beginning in 1902. In the summer of 1903, Dan Lefever and three of his sons moved from Syracuse, New York to Defiance, Ohio forming the D.M. Lefever Company, continuing the prices and grades of the previous Lefever Arms Company. This early high quality Lefever was built using a scalloped boxlock, Greener crossbolt. Barrels were made of Krupp fluid steel, not Damascus, and features a solid matted rib with twin beads. Double triggers, beautiful dark grain hand checkered English type rear sight with Monte Carlo comb, finely checkered side panels, owner’s plaque in stock, and an early Upland Game red waffle recoil pad. Stamped on bottom of frame “D.M. Lefever Sons & Company Pat’d 1902 Not connected with Lefever Arms Company”. The biggest departure from the standard Lefevers was a boxlock instead of sidelock. This style of lock can be seen on page 94 in the book “Uncle Dan Lefever” by Elliot. This shotgun is an 8E Grade (per book) not stamped as such; description begins on page 95 and is described as follows: “fine Nitro steel barrels, straight stock without grip, nicely engraved and checkered, full compensated action with automatic shell ejector, price net $75 in 1901”. In 1901 This 8E $100 Grade was the top seller. Bores are clean and shiny. Barrels retain approximately 70% original blue starting to thin and patina, with age freckling on the right barrel extending 10” from breech. Forearm is finely checkered with ebony tip. The frame exhibits delicate scroll engraving with setter on right side and mallard on left. The wood is in beautiful condition, has been freshened up at one time, with a couple minor dings. Lock-up is perfect with no wiggle with forearm off. Trigger guard is basically gun metal grey. Nice traces of case colors on both sides of frame. Lovely old high grade Lefever. 1,500.00 - 2,500.00

LOT - 1300

A quick call to Dr. Richard and we were informed that this rifle was originally shipped as an 1874 musket. There was no serial number under the barrel, so it was obviously period converted to a sporting rifle during the era using an extra barrel (factory proper) stamped “Sharps Rifle Company Bridgeport Conn.”. Has the “Old Reliable” stamp on top barrel flat. Breech is stamped “Cal. 45” and fits a .45-70 perfectly. The breech measurement is 2-9/16” on the side of the barrel which indicates a bigger (longer) casing length which is probably a 45-90. Patina on the barrel matches perfectly to the frame. Has C. Sharps patent “Sept. 13, 1848” on left side. Features single trigger. Appears to have the original factory buttstock with sling swivel. Sports the proper style two screw walnut forend with slight Schnabel. Wood color and finish matches perfectly with the buttstock. Forend has a 4” repaired crack on right side.

All parts are aged in the same manner and tone. This rifle has lots of character in excellent shape. While the rear sight may be accurate, a sporting sight would be more fitting. 2,000.00 - 3,000.00

These guns were originally finished in brown. All metal surface on this rifle have been tin plated, usually found on sea-service weapons. Left side of barrel breech is stamped N.J.” for New Jersey militia. And the most unusual aspect of this rifle is that the last 2-5/8” of the barrel have been turned down to a slightly smaller dimension to allow for a U.S. socket bayonet which locks in place using the front sight. This alteration was done prior to the application of the tin plating. Plating is wearing thin on rear barrel band, there is usual brown patina around breech at nipple and top of lock, some bubbling of finish on barrel but is otherwise 75% intact. Intact but thinning on buttplate, patchbox and trigger guard with brass showing through. Strong visible rifling with usual black powder abrasion. Perfect action.

1306 - (A) HUDSON VALLEY FLINTLOCK RIFLE. Model: Flintlock Rifle Barrel Length: 49-7/8” FFL Status: Antique

LOT - 1306

Measures 64” overall; 49-7/8” octagonal steel barrel, swamped at muzzle. Bore is straight rifled for its full length, rectangular proof mark on right flat, near breech, is obscure, but was probably Amsterdam. Walnut half-stock is slightly ‘fish-bellied’ in classic Hudson Valley style, but with a relief cheek-piece on the left side of stock, carved with tear drop in relief around barrel tang, lockplate, and sideplate. Wooden ramrod. All hardware is brass and is of a classic Dutch style. Unusual but also typically Dutch is the rear sight: a large spread “butterfly” cast integral with the barrel band that supports it. This Spanish/Moorish trait was introduced into the Netherlands when they were ruled by Spain. Like the rifling, it facilities dual use as a fowler and rifle; broad enough for wing shooting, its central notch permits accuracy with a single ball. Brass side plate is of flat ‘triangular’ form. Original flintlock; lock replaced in period of use with circa 1790 English lock stamped “BLACKISTON/&/LOCKWOOD”, consistent with early use in America. Fitted with iron sling swivels. This Dutch gun of American provenance is an interesting example. Very good; barrel and lock have been cleaned bright, some scattered light pitting and marks from use. Stock has been refinished, wood has been repaired above lock, small chip at both ends of lockplate, scattered marks from use. Brass furniture polished, some scattered dents and scratches, sideplate repaired and one lock screw is contemporary. 1,500.00 - 2,500.00

Mr. Lincoln’s first shot was low, but the next shot hit the bulls eye and the last five were around it. The target was given to Mr. Spencer as a memento of the occasion and eventually ended in Springfield, Illinois museum. 1,000.00 - 1,800.00
