1003 - EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERED THOMPSON MACHINE GUN 50 ROUND “L” DRUM MAGAZINE.
High condition, matching numbered early original 50 round “L” drum for the Colt Model 1921 Thompson machine gun. Drum is marked “AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP, NEW YORK N.Y., U.S.A. PATENTED JULY 27 1920 DEC 7 1920 “NO 2072” on main body with matching numbered cover. Original nickel rotor inside. These early drums were contracted through John’s Machine and Stamping Works Company. According to Gordon Herigstad, the highest-numbered John’s ”L” drum is number 4184. Not very many, considering how many guns were manufactured that could accept them. PROVENANCE: From the personal and advanced collection of Dr. Jim Watson of Scottsdale, Arizona. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish of drum is extremely fine original smooth blue finish with fine coverage, particularly on the cover. The body of the drum has some brown patina which is not particularly noticeable, and some loss or finish to a gray patina in places, especially at the high edges. One can see upon inspection of the interior that this drum was carried loaded, as there are rings from the cartridges very visible inside. These are a far scarcer drum to find than even the 100 round numbered drums. A fine drum for the discerning forward-thinking Thompson investor and collector. JWK 2025-12-259. 4,000 - 8,000

1005 - (N) EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL RUSSIAN TRACTOR CAP MAXIM MODEL 1910 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).
Manufacturer: Russian Federation
Model: M1910
Serial No. MB42
Caliber/Bore: 7.62X54mmR
Barrel Length: 28.4”
FFL Status: NFA
Morphy’s is very fortunate to be able to offer another of the very few genuine original Russian sideplate tractor cap Maxim guns in the NFA registry. Dolf Goldsmith stated to this cataloger over ten years ago that he was only aware of five original specimens registered for private ownership in the United States. This cataloger still has not yet seen as many as five registered true C&R eligible original tractor cap guns, but this IS one of them. This gun also has many matching parts including receiver, top cover (1944 dated), feed block, backplate, fusee cover, check lever, and trunnion. Muzzle is un-numbered and includes an extremely rare muzzle cover. Rear mounting pin present on chain attached to bottom plate. No lock present but these are readily available. Charging handle and oil brush caps are un-numbered. This gun retains the original, “spring plates” at the trunnion in front of the top cover. Electronic NFA registry indicates “RUSSIAN FEDERATION” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original blue and original painted dull green water jacket. Blue finish is thinning to a gray patina on the steel muzzle. Some thinning to the blue on the sideplates, but considering where this gun was made and likely used, the condition is remarkable. There are a couple small dents in the water jacket, with the noticeable one being about 4” forward of the trunnion on the lower right side. There are other very minor nicks and dings to the water jacket as well as some discernible scratches to the painted surfaces. The gun has some accumulated dust in the recessed areas. Wood handles on backplate near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an original tractor cap Maxim with original Russian sideplate. If there are other registered fully transferable specimens out there this cataloger has not seen, would love to see pictures of them. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2025-12-193. 30,000 - 40,000
1006 - (N) EXCEPTIONAL EARLY GERMAN MG42/59 MACHINE GUN USED TO BORESIGHT VEHICLE TURRETS AT CADILLAC GAGE (CURIO & RELIC).
Manufacturer: Rheinmetal Cadillac Gage
Model: MG42/59
Serial No. 61-00001
Caliber/Bore: 7.62mm NATO
Barrel Length: 20”
FFL Status: NFA
Note the factory markings, serial number, and caliber designation on this machine gun. This MG42/59 was imported and registered by Cadillac Gage and used to boresight vehicle turrets. This cataloger knows both the owners since importation. On the left side of the receiver forward of the factory markings the following has been added in electro-pencil: “RHEINMETAL GmbH/FRG CADILLAC GAGE WARREN, MICH”. This gun is factory correct in 7.62x51mm (.308) using M13 disintegrating links. This would have been the first serialized MG 42/59 produced by Rheinmettal in 1964. Although it is fitted with a standard buffer, previous owner states no buttstock has ever been fitted. Appearance of buffer bears this out. Includes both a blank firing adapter which screws onto the end of the muzzle in lieu of the normal flash-hider, and a training ammunition adapter for the muzzle (literal translation “shock absorber for training exercise”), in its original box, with bolt head. This weapon’s muzzle has the booster assembly identical to the WWII muzzle and booster, but the blank firing adapter is of the later configuration. Feed tray has provision to stop the expanded belt from dropping on the right side. No Nazi-marked parts, which is appropriate. Top cover and barrel have assembly numbers appropriate to the era. Barrel is marked “7.62”. Electronic NFA registry indicates “RHEINMETTAL (GERMANY)” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent deep dark gray finish with some loss of finish at the mounting attachment points. It is obvious this gun has been fired. There is some carbon buildup in the booster cone and some evidence of past buildup of carbon and removal in the muzzle. Barrel has some horizontal tool (vise) marks on the exterior about 9”-10” forward of the chamber, and the barrel collar has been replaced. The bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is also near excellent. Handgrip is of the hard rubber composite type and is near excellent and very attractive. This is the first of the MG42/59s and as such, should be of premium interest to collectors. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2025-12-196. 50,000 - 80,000

Manufacturer’s information such as, “Imported NFA Firearm” is not being changed incidental to this process. PROVENANCE: Original letter from the BATF verifying this gun is unrestricted and Fully Transferable.

Composite furnishings of buttstock and pistol grip are near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. The few factory original Heckler and Koch guns which are becoming fully transferable to individuals will undoubtedly command a premium now, and into the foreseeable future.

Very attractive Steyr “bnz” manufactured MP43 machine gun manufactured in 1944 with clear “WaA 623” proofs on receiver forward of the magazine housing. Markings have been visually enhanced with blue chalk by the consignor. Matching numbers on bolt, op-rod, buttstock assembly, and lower assembly; in other words, all visible numbers match. One original MP-43 magazine is included with this lot as well as takedown tool and speed loading clip in the buttstock trap. Barrel, op-rod, and wood buttstock were supplied by C.G. Haenel (fxo) to Steyr for final assembly of this gun. This model group (nomenclature included MP43/1, MP43, MP44, and STG 44) was the first true modern “assault rifle” chambered for a shorter-than-standard rifle cartridge (33mm vs57 mm) which, although less powerful than the standard 8mm German rifle round, was still very effective at medium ranges where most combat took place. This allowed the individual soldier to have a higher magazine capacity in a weapon which was handier and more versatile than those of their opponents. This revolutionized warfare. Capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire with the pressing of a switch this first modern assault rifle could fill the role of a deliberate aimed-fire weapon, as well as that of a suppressing fire weapon. This rifle was constructed of metal stampings to the maximum extent possible to save production time and cost. Electronic NFA registry indicates, “GERMANY” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original finish with some loss of finish to a gray patina. Wood is extremely fine with typical handling marks.

1043 - (N) SCARCE ORIGINAL WWI-ERA FLUTED WATER JACKET BRITISH VICKERS MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).
Manufacturer: Vickers Model: 1914
Serial No. C8092
Caliber/Bore: .303 British
Barrel Length: 28”
FFL Status: NFA
Very seldom encountered original British fluted jacket Vickers water cooled machine gun which retains the “lightening” cuts on both sides of the receiver. The Vickers was the immediate evolutionary progression from the venerable Maxim machine gun, and by relocating the trigger mechanism to the top of the action, the overall height of the receiver box could be shortened and the gun consequently lightened. The gun was further lightened by making the receiver sideplates thinner, and as seen here, machining cuts in the sideplates. From the perspective of the modern day collector/ shooting enthusiast the Vickers is one of the machine guns most readily and easily converted to different calibers according to the desires of the owner. This specimen has had the tripod mounting points neatly cut-off at the bottom of the trunnion and bottom plate. However, these could be restored with appropriate effort. An original steam condensing hose and “Shell” spirit can is included with this gun. No lock present, but these are readily obtainable. Original non-armored booster assembly present at muzzle as well as water fill and drain caps with chains. No cork and chain present. Brass .303 feedblock present. The barrel jacket shows serial number “C8092” with broad arrow proof. NFA Electronic registry indicates, “VICKERS SONS AND COMPANY” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine original finish with scattered spots of brown corrosion with dust from long term storage accumulated in the recessed areas. There is a moderate dent in the water jacket on the left side just to the rear of the nose cap, but this will not affect function. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Backplate handles extremely fine with light handing marks. Charging handle moves smoothly. This is a full-auto only machine gun. This cataloger must accentuate that finding an original British Vickers gun, which is Curio and Relic eligible is a rare occurrence. The discerning collector will realize what an opportunity this is. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2025-12-192. 15,000 - 20,000

Three Chinese characters are clearly visible on left side of magazine housing. No magazine present. Relatively few of this model of machine gun are in the National Firearms Act registry. This fast-firing pistol has a cyclic rate of 800-1100 rounds per minute when fired in fully automatic mode. It is tremendously impressive to shoot at the range. These pistols were manufactured and marketed world-wide, primarily for police and government use. Many of these went to China. The doctrine was to intimidate any potential unruly crowd of “Anarchists”. Police were trained to turn these guns sideways when contemplating “crowd control”, as this harnessed the “muzzle climb” to advantage, spreading the projectiles to where they would be effective instead of going overhead into the air. Electronic NFA registry indicates, “MAUSER” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original lustrous blue finish with some small spots of patina. Grips are near excellent. Stock is near excellent with slight handling marks. Bore is extremely fine, frosty in the grooves. Bolt face extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and positive.

1081 - (D) FIRESTONE M18 57 MM RECOILLESS RIFLE WITH ORIGINAL SUB-CALIBER KIT (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE).
Manufacturer: Firestone
Model: M18 57mm Recoilless
Serial No. 7238447
Caliber/Bore: 57mm
Barrel Length: 48”
FFL Status: Destructive Device
The 57 mm recoilless rifle was designed and produced for WW2 and the earliest produced guns were sent to Europe in March 1945, and these did see service in Germany and Italy as well as in the Pacific Theater as more were fielded. These mount very nicely on Browning 1917A1 tripods, and one of these is being offered in this same auction as a separate lot. Front and rear clamp-on sight assemblies are present. Trigger actuator at forward grip, although present, is missing the internal part(s) to actuate the sear at the breech. The breech (marked “5” in white) is present, but the breech retention pivot pin is not, as well the actuation parts in this location. Fabrication of a replacement pin would be straightforward. This specimen had been deactivated in the past by drilling a small hole in the barrel a little forward of the monopod/grip assembly. Subsequently, this hole was welded up again, and this work is visible. This weapon is registered as a Destructive Device and the original registrant’s name and address are on the forward edge of the chamber area. There is no doubt that at one time the consignor had this as a functioning unit. An original U.S.G.I. sub-caliber kit which includes both .22 LR and .30-06 sub-caliber hardware is in its original G.I. wooden box and upon arrival there was still an expended .22 rimfire case in the sub-caliber chamber. The cataloger needs to stress that because of the prior deactivation and reactivation. THIS DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE IS TO BE FIRED ONLY WITH THE SUB-CALIBER UNIT.

Manufacturer: Independent Studio Services
Model: 870
Serial No. W480800M
Caliber/Bore: 12 Gauge
Barrel Length: 12.1”
FFL Status: NFA
Heath Ledger’s Joker is widely considered to be one of his finest performances, if not the finest. Portraying the Clown Prince of Crime, Ledger shifted the characterization to a darker, more chaotic interpretation, and has permanently influenced the character. This shotgun is the screen used shotgun that Joker carries throughout the film, taking it from the mob affiliated bank manager after the opening heist, and famously using it to announce his entrance to the fundraiser being thrown for Harvey Dent by firing a shell into the ceiling. After filming, the gun was also exhibited at the NRA National Firearms Museum as part of their Movie Guns exhibit, where it was displayed alongside other famous guns, including the Smith & Wesson Model 29 from Dirty Harry, the suppressed Remington 11-87 from No Country for Old Men, and more. Accompanied by a letter from Independent Studio Services, authenticating this gun by serial number and listing the films it was involved in, and noting that the gun was acquired from Stembridge in 1999. CONDITION: Very good, retaining the majority of the original finishes. Scattered handling marks, primarily to the receiver, and silvering along reciprocating areas, such as action bar. Mechanically fine, bore largely smooth and bright with a few spots of oxidation. A very scarce opportunity to acquire an iconic piece of film history. Due to the nature of this item and the pop culture phenomenon associated with it, qualified bidders should ensure that they are able to own this item in their state. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4. 8,000 - 12,000
1087 - (N) BOB GIBBONS AND SON SAIGA SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN, IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE AS “VERA” FROM “FIREFLY” (SHORT BARRELED SHOTGUN).
Manufacturer: Bob Gibbons and Son
Model: Saiga
Serial No. 403176
Caliber/Bore: 12 Gauge
Barrel Length: 6”
FFL Status: NFA
Six men came to kill me one time. The best of them carried this. It’s a Callahan Full Bore Auto Lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun...I call it Vera. announces Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb in the cult series Firefly. In reality, the gun is a Saiga shotgun that has been registered as a short barreled shotgun and gussied up with a number of greebles designed to make the gun look more appropriate for a sci-fi setting. Original legends are still visible (left side of the receiver has been obscured by tape, presumably for filming purposes), and the original controls are still functional. The skeleton stock has been modified to fold up and over the receiver, and the barrel is now a two-part barrel, with pivot point just ahead of the “finger stop”. A bolt has been run underneath the finger stop and into the barrel for an unclear reason, as the gun still appears to be capable of firing correctly. Accompanied by a ISS letter of authenticity listing this gun by serial number, noting it was one of 10 made for Showtime and one of only two with the folding stock; it then served on Firefly. The letter also notes that a number of the original parts have been lost for some time. CONDITION: Excellent as screen used, with machining marks still visible across many of the greebles, and some scattered handling marks. Unfortunately, many of the original “Firefly” greebles have been lost to time and the gun now more closely resembles its appearance in “Showtime”. Due to the nature of this item and the pop culture phenomenon associated with it, qualified bidders should ensure that they are able to own this item in their state. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4. 4,000 - 8,000
1088 - ORIGINAL JAPANESE TYPE 99 MACHINE GUN MAGAZINE. 30-round magazine for 7.7x58mm Japanese ammunition. These magazines are scarce relative to the number of guns that were brought back by returning U.S servicemen. The policy of the U.S. Navy transporting returning occupation of Japan G.I.’s was that magazines were not allowed to be brought onboard ships. This was a safety measure to prevent accidental discharges by “war trophies” being brought home by returning servicemen. This makes these magazines highly sought after items today. CONDITION: Extremely fine original finish and serial numbered (indiscernible first digit) followed by “816” on back spine. JWK 2025-12-199. 1,000 - 2,000

CONDITION: Good showing use. A bag of spare triggers, hammer, selectors, disconnectors, and pins also accompanies this lot. 1,000 - 2,000
1090 - U.S. MODEL 191 BIPOD FOR THE MODERN U.S. M120 MORTAR AS CURRENTLY IN USE WITH U.S. MILITARY.
Very seldom found in civilian hands, this Model 191 bipod is used in conjunction with the M9 baseplate (not included) for the 120mm mortar when used in ground emplacement. Mostly the M120 mortar is mounted on a vehicle, and or in an special reactive mount. This cataloger witnessed the use of the 120mm mortar system in combat, and there are absolutely amazing when combined with our technology. As soon as enemy mortar rounds appeared on our radar detection system, we were able to react and send our rounds back to the location where they originated from. The first time we heard our mortars shooting back in response to an enemy attack, a spontaneous cheer went up across the entire base. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original G.I. painted finish. If you have, or desire one day to have, a 120mm mortar, you would do well to acquire this lot. 1,000 - 2,000
1091 - YUGOSLAVIAN LAFETTE TRIPOD SUITABLE
FOR THE MG-42
MACHINE GUN
Post war Yugoslavian tripod made in the pattern of the German WW2 Lafette tripod. A good solid platform for taking your gun out to the range differing in color and the language on the range plate from the valuable original tripod you may have, and would perfer to leave at home. Otherwise a very stable and suitable platform for the Semi-Auto version of the MG-42. CONDITION: Very good, with scattered paint flaking throughout. 800 - 1,200
1092 - LOT OF TWO AMERICAN 180 MACHINE GUN BARRELS
Seldom found on the loose separate from a gun, these barrels are both the long and short versions for the American 180 machine gun. One can immediately recognize these these barrels from the high front sights necessary to allow the firer to see over the pan magazine integral to this model. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original blue finish. Bores are near excellent, shiny and bright. These would be an upgrade for just about any American 180, and one considers how many rounds one fires out of these nifty machine guns, spare barrels would be an excellent idea. JWK 2025-12-244. 800 - 1,200
1093 -
VERY RARE SET OF TWO 20 ROUND EARLY PRE-PRODUCTION CIRCLE 1 “PIGGYBACK” M-16 MAGAZINES.
Named for the logo found on the lower left side of each magazine, These are incredibly scarce and highly sought after collector’s items for advanced early AR-15/M-16 collectors. Very few of these “piggyback” magazines were made. These were a very early factory variation of two 20 round magazines for the AR-15/M-16 designed to snap together floorplate to floorplate, using spring catches to snap into studs on the floorplates when matched together. Pushing in on the loop-type spring release the retention spring from the stud and the two magazine could easily be separated again. Ingenious in concept and simplicity. CONDITION: Extremely fine original smooth finish thinning dull bronze colored patina. All springs have good tension and these snap together properly and separation works exactly as intended. A great find for the AR-15/M-16 collector, or anybody who is entertained by innovating thinking. JWK 2025-12-220. 600 - 1,200

USA”, in addition to “AUTO ORDNANCE CORP.”, patent dates, and four digit number. CONDITION: Near excellent original deep blue finish. Likely never used. Spring tension is good. Attractive and much less costly alternative to the highly-sought original 100 round drums. The idea of a high capacity drum for a Thompson was a valid sales device, but this cataloger’s Father was able to trade with a police department during the Eisenhower administration two 50 round Bridgeport WWII drums for two original 100 round drums because the chief of police’s statement was, “These 100 round drums are too heavy when loaded. I would rather have two more 50s instead of these.” JWK 2025-12-183 600 - 1,200
1095 - HEAVY DUTY 81MM MORTAR BIPOD
81mm mortar bipod with retention chain between legs. Legs are detached with no attachment pins present. No baseplate present.

Long, 111” from face of chamber to muzzle, 75mm World War II barrel which would have been employed in the M-24 Chaffe tank.

One should also note that there is a small area on the 3rd barrels trunnion mounting socket where an area of about 5/16” has been slightly ground out. Otherwise, as a barrel itself, if the required parts were added of replaced, it would be serviceable. CONDITION: All three barrels have near excellent matte blue and extremely fine to near excellent bores. Although once plentiful, M-60 parts, and especially barrels and the other parts subject to wear upon firing have become rather difficult to find in this good condition. The forward-thinking machine gun enthusiasts would be well served to acquire this lot. JWK 2025-12-206. 2,000 - 3,000

1114 - (C) VERY RARE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE JAPANESE TYPE 5 GARAND SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE SERIAL NUMBER 13 WITH CAPTURE PAPERS.
Manufacturer: Japan
Model: Type 5
Serial No. 13
Caliber/Bore: 7.7x58mm
Barrel Length: 23”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
Much like the United States and other powers, Japan began experimenting with semi-automatic rifles in the interwar period to replace or supplement their bolt action arms. Japanese firms and arsenals produced several prototype autoloaders based on the American Pederson toggle lock rifle and Czech ZH-29. Put on hold with the outbreak of war with China in 1937, Japanese production of bolt action rifles continued through World War II. By 1936, the US had already adopted the semi-automatic M1 Garand as its standard battle rifle, seeing service in the Pacific as well as Europe. Somewhat under gunned, the Japanese reopened experimentation mid-War and among other options explored a domestic produced adaptation of the American Garand in standard Japanese 7.7mm chambering. Known as the Type 5, approximately 125 were assembled beginning in 1944. This outstanding, experimental example is numbered “13” on the underside of the barrel. Arsenal applied matte black finish throughout. Front sight is an Arisaka style protected blade. Rear tangent sight graduated to 1200 meters with a very fine peep aperture. Action operates nearly identically to a standard American Garand although the 8-round enbloc clip is replaced with a fixed internal 10-round magazine which extends past the woodline.
Receiver is equipped with a stripper clip guide to make loading more efficient. Stock is of WWII Japanese form with red lacquer finish, forend finger groove, steel tang straps, sling swivels, and a cupped butt plate. This example is accompanied by an original March 14, 1946 dated capture certificate listing “ONE JAPANESE RIFLE” as the possession of Colonel Walter D. Buie, as well as a period shipping crate addressed to Major Walter Buie at Fort Leavenworth and also his wife in North Carolina. Born in Georgia in 1900, Buie graduated from West Point in 1920. He commanded the 272nd Infantry Regiment of the 69th Division, the Battle Axe Regiment, where he saw action through the German surrender in WWII. With the capitulation of Germany, Buie left his post with the 272 and joined the 25th Division as Chief of Staff in the Pacific. It is believed he acquired this rare prototype during his service. CONDITION: Fine. Approximately 90% of the original matte finish is retained with some rubs and scratches, especially on the magazine. Stock shows scattered scuffs and dings. Crisp well defined bore with some residue in the grooves. Fine mechanics. A truly outstanding and well documented example of one of the great WWII firearm rarities. 60,000 - 75,000
1115 - (C) RARE DOCUMENTED GUSTLOFF WERKE VOLKSSTURMGEWEHR VG 1-5 7.92X33MM SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE.
Manufacturer: Gustloff-Werke Suhl
Model: Volkssturmgewehr
Serial No. Th1185
Caliber/Bore: 8mm Kurz
Barrel Length: 16 - 1/4”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
As 1944 progressed and Allied troops pushed in towards Germany, it became clear that desperate measures would need to be taken to arm every available German. Those too old or too young, or otherwise unfit for service in the Wehrmacht were pressed into service in the Volkssturm as a final line of defense. Arms already in short supply, several simplified and easier to produced designs were trialed in late 1944. Among them was the innovative Gustloff MP507 (VG 1-5), a semi-automatic carbine which utilized the MP44’s 7.92x33mm cartridge and magazines. Although initially rejected in favor of continued MP44 assault rifle production, approximately 10,000 were made under contract for the Volkssturm. Of this late-war production, very few survive, W. Darrin Weaver listing only 27 known VG 1-5 rifles including this example on page 238 of “Desperate Measures”. Of rather simple stamped steel construction with a machined bolt, this rifle is numbered “Th.1185” on both sides of the plain walnut stock, the “Th” likely indicating the Thuringia Gau which sanctioned the rifles production. An “R.A100” is also deeply stamped on the right side, presumably a subcontractor or inspection stamp. The main body of the rifle is otherwise unmarked plain steel, some painted finish remaining in protected areas. Simple protected post and square notch sights. This example has the updated style magazine catch. A “qnw” code MP44 magazine is included with “qlx” marked base plate. The original integral woven sling is also retained. This scarce rifle is photographed and described on page 235 of Weaver’s “Desperate Measures”. CONDITION: Good. Rifle displays an even bright patina with some painted finish retained in protected areas and a few spots of discoloration. Stocks are likewise good with impressions, nicks, and areas of darkening. Barrel has been tastefully extended several inches to meet US import requirements. Bore is strong with some frosting and abrasions. Fine mechanics. A nice example of a very scarce German last-ditch assault rifle. 20,000 - 30,000

Serial No. 7797
Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser
Barrel Length: 22”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
As allied forces pushed into Germany in the fall of 1944 it became clear desperate measures needed to be taken including the establishment of a home guard comprised of those too old or otherwise unfit for standard service, the Volkssturm. A number of simplified “last ditch” weapons were developed to arm these irregular troops. Among them was the VG2 designed by Deutsche-Industrie-Werke AG of Berlin which was approved for only limited production and issue in January of 1945. This rather early example is marked on the right side of the receiver with a partial chd ordnance code for Deutsche-Industrie-Werke as well as a boxed “56”, possibly an acceptance stamp. As is correct on these early guns there is no VG2 designation stamp. The receiver is constructed of blued steel stamped and welded in place. The simplified bolt action with matching numbered bolt feeds from detachable K.43 magazines, this example with ordnance manufacturer code “aye”. The blued 1941 dated “cky” Krupp code Luftwaffe machine gun barrel is correctly counterbored and turned down at the muzzle to accept a grenade launcher. Blade front sight with pinned sheet steel hood. 2-piece drift adjustable u-notch rear sight. Plain 2-piece wood stocks with cupped butt plate. Rifle is currently fitted with an original “L&F” marked leather sling. PROVENANCE: Ex Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess Collection. This example is also pictured and described on page 178 of “Desperate Measures” by W. Darrin Weaver. CONDITION: Fine. Barrel retains nearly all of its original blue with scattered marks. Receiver likewise retains approximately 90% blue with some high edge wear and older oxidation spotting, especially on the left side. Stocks have a few impressions and a small 1/2” hairline split on the forend, but are otherwise very fine. Crisp, bright bore. Fine mechanics. An outstanding example of a very scarce and desirable last ditch World War II German rifle. 20,000 - 30,000
Initially approved for import, G and GL series FN FALs were imported in limited numbers by Browning Arms Co. from 1959 through 1963 when the ATF reversed their decision.

K.43 SEMI-AUTOMATIC SNIPER RIFLE ASSEMBLED BY BERLIN LUEBECKER.
Manufacturer: Walther
Model: K.43
Serial No. 7334
Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser
Barrel Length: 21 - 3/4”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
Even after the Walther factory at Zella-Mehlis surrendered to American forces on April 9, 1945, their facility at KZ Neuengamme continued for a few more weeks. Still as British forcers closed in remaining unfinished K.43 parts were evacuated to Berlin Luebecker for final assembly and were numbered in the Berlin Luebecker “F” block as some of the very final guns produced prior to their May 2nd surrender to the British. In addition to the serial number, model designation, and “AC / 45” code, a faint eagle “WaA308” waffenamt is stamped along with British proofs. Although unknown, the WaA308 inspection is only found on some of these very late K.43s, possibly an additional location where final assembly took place. Rifle was presumably captured by British troops right from the factory or depot and brought home as a trophy where it was later proofed. The matching numbered bolt carrier, dust cover, and stock all bear Berlin Luebecker eagle “214” inspections. Barrel is unthreaded and fitted with a ramped blade front sight with hood. Standard 1200 meter rear tangent sight. Matching numbered white glue laminate stock with laminate handguard and flat door trap butt plate. Manual remains wrapped around a packet of parts in the tool trap. Rifle currently sports a wartime “ddx” code ZF4 scope on a replica mount with later eyepiece covers. A reproduction leather sling is also included. CONDITION: Good. Rifle retains nearly all of its faded arsenal phosphate finishes with evidence of age and long term storage. Stock is unsanded and has a few handling marks. Handguard has laminate separations on both sides. Well defined bore with light frosting. Fine mechanics. Optic has some clouding and oxidation. A fascinating last ditch German rifle. 2,500 - 4,500

Manufacturer: BCD
Model: K98
Serial No. 931
Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser
Barrel Length: 24”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
In 1944, J.P. Sauer acquired receivers from Astrawerke who was also the main supplier of Gustloff-Werke’s receivers to assemble rifles with, including long rail snipers. As is correct for these rifles, the receiver code is that of a 1944 Gustloff rifle although with an “l” on the right side indicating Astrawerke manufacture and Sauer eagle “37” inspections. Receiver is fitted with a correctly eagle “359” inspected 6 screw long rail base with reinforcing pins. The scope mount is numbered “4857X” and has 22mm spring rings. Scope is a wartime “dow+” code scope with adjustable focus and a rubber eye cup. Short style safety flag which clears the scope as seen on Sauer production rifles. Rifle retains standard hooded barleycorn front sight and tangent rear. The Mauser eagle “WaA135” inspected hardwood stock is fitted with fabricated bands, milled bottom metal, and a checkered sniper butt plate which fits somewhat poorly. Externally visible numbers on metal are matching barring the scope mount. Stock numbers on the underside of the handguard and inside of the channel have been marked out and renumbered to match in pencil, likely period. No visible import marks. A period “L+F” cross hatch pattern leather sling is included. CONDITION: Good. Rifle retains the vast majority of its arsenal blue with some freckling and scratches. Wood appears lightly cleaned with the markings faint. Stock has light scattered marks with a few larger dings. Crisp, well defined bore with some residue. Fine mechanics. Optic is almost entirely clouded and has a ding in the tube. A very scarce Sauer built WWII sniper variant. 4,000 - 6,000

Model: G98
Serial No. 6834
Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser
Barrel Length: 30”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
Manufactured by Waffenfabrik Oberspree Kornbusch & Co., the scarcest of the World War I G98 contract makers, in 1915 with final assembly completed in 1916 as indicated by the “1915/16” double receiver date. This example converted into a Scharfschutzen sniper rifle mounted with a WWI Dr. Walter Gerard B3X scope with duplex cross hairs. Scope is numbered to a pair of additional rifles which have been lined out, with an additional hand engraved “GewNr 6834” (Rifle Number 6834) added matching this gun. Scope is mounted with commercial, nonoffset claw bases dovetailed into the receiver, largely obscuring the maker marking. A windage adjustment key is included for the rear mount. Bolt handle has been turned down and the safety shortened to accommodate the optic. Standard finger groove walnut stock also modified with a dish added to operate the turned down bolt, as well as a hand stippled butt plate. Rifle retains the standard barleycorn front sight and rollercoaster rear. Matching numbers observed on the receiver, barrel, bolt handle, follower, stock, bottom metal including screws, barrel bands, and scope. No visible import marks. A period muzzle cover and leather sling are included. CONDITION: Good. Finishes have largely faded to patina with some evidence of older cleaned oxidation. Stock appears lightly cleaned with markings legible along with scattered impressions and staining. Crisp, well defined bore. Fine mechanics. Optic has some clouding.

C ISSUED WALTHER PPK .32 ACP
SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH HOLSTER.
Manufacturer: Walther
Model: PPK
Serial No. 296175K
Caliber/Bore: .32 ACP
Barrel Length: 3 - 1/4”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
This 4th variation SS contract pistol was manufactured in 1940, and is identifiable by its numbered slide, a practice that was not standardized on non SS guns until later production. Importantly, this pistol is further documented by serial number in “SS Walther PP/ PPK Identification & Documentation” by Steven J. Stepan on page 185. It is recorded on an original assignment list of PPKs received by Einsatzgruppe C at the Pretzsch Border Police Academy near Wittenberg where they trained, issued to Sturmmann August Folge. Einsatzgruppe C was attached to the Army Group South under the command of Dr. Otto Rasch. With headquarters at Kiev, this group of approximately 750 commandos operated in the Ukraine utilizing brutal tactics. At the time of publication Stepan had only identified 2 surviving documented Einsatzgruppen issued PPKs, this example being the third known. Pistol is correct for the period with high polish commercial blue. Standard left hand Zella-Mehlis address. Barrel and slide are proofed with eagle over “N” nitro proofs. Grips are wrap around checkered mottled brown Bakelite with “WALTHER” banners. The banner marked magazine is unnumbered and therefore likely a period replacement. Pistol is accompanied by a “DRGM” marked leather flap holster as well as a Gold Edition copy of “SS Walther PP/PPK Identification & Documentation” where its documentation is published. CONDITION: Very good. Pistol retains the vast majority of its original blue with some honest wear, especially along the edges of the slide with some older oxidation spotting. Grips shows scattered superficial marks and a split at the top of the left side, ahead of the banner. Bore is well defined with areas of abrasion. Fine mechanics. Holster is dry with some cracking and areas of loss. A very rare documented SS Einsatzgruppen PPK for the advanced collector. 10,000 - 20,000

Rear ring base is numbered to match the rifle. Scope is a Hensolt Wetlzar Zieljagd 4X with checkered adjustment ring and rubber eye cup.

Matching solid walnut stocks marked with a crisp eagle “WaA135” inspection on the right side. Machined mounts and a cupped butt plate. Matching numbers observed throughout. No visible import marks. A period L&F leather sling is included. Although of nonstandard configuration, this rifle appears to have been assembled as such for some time. CONDITION: Fine. Rifle retains the vast majority of its blued finish with some expected fading and freckling. Stock has scattered dings and nicks. Crisp, bright bore with some mild areas of frosting. Fine mechanics.

This set comes with a myriad of hand written notes but the two most important are the factory letter and the notarized typed letter from Arvo Ojala. In his letter, Arvo states that he purchased this pair of 2nd generation Colts on October 6th, 1959. He furthered this statement in that he customized this pair for Major Riddle. He then furnished a custom fast draw holster set for the Major as well. Arteburn Riddle owned several casinos in the Las Vegas area in the 1950s and was legendary for his high stakes gambling. He was the co-owner of the legendary Dunes Casino and lost it through his gambling. He was also infamous for bringing the “Minsky’s Follies” to the Dunes, the first casino that offered topless dancing. It is well known that he financed the Dunes investment with mob backed teamster financing. The Colt letter lists the serial numbers of both guns being shipped together as blued, 4 - 3/4”, .45 caliber and sent to Hollywood Fast Draw Holster which was located in North Hollywood, the address of Arvo’s shop. Arvo was a Hollywood legend, a technical advisor on the subject of quick-draw with a revolver who did work on many of the eras most popular TV westerns. He is probably best known for his custom built holsters and altered Colts. This pair of Colts, as reworked by Arvo, included full nickel plating, off set custom fast draw hammers, the smoothest actions ever tested by this writer and custom fitted Colt medallion ivory grips. Each gun is engraved on the back strap “Major Riddle”. The custom fast draw double rig, as made by Arvo, features his name and address on the back of both holsters. Inside the belt, in contrasting brown leather, reads “MAJOR RIDDLE”. This is a black dyed Buscadero rig, completely hand tooled, with sterling silver billet ends and buckle. The outside of holster is decorated with dozens of gilded ornamentations and each holster has a silver buckle. The cartridge belt measures approximately 38” from post to last hole. CONDITION: Excellent. Both revolvers show in near new condition showing very little use, if any. Neither show any visible face burn but exhibit some light cylinder drag lines and handling marks. Both bores are bright. All legends are as sharp as when they left the factory. The quick draw rig is also in superb condition. A spectacular pair of custom 2nd generation Colts with a storied Las Vegas and Hollywood history. Also includes some vintage casino chips and dice that are mentioned in one of the hand written notes. 10,000 - 20,000

This lot consists of two third generation Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolvers housed in a custom walnut French fitted case. In 1976 John Adams Sr. went to work full time for the Colt Mfg. Co.as a freelance engraver, engraving over 3000 firearms for them. His client list included Tom Selleck, Sammy Davis Jr. and included seven guns done for the John Wayne family. This 4 ¾” .45 caliber Colt SAA is described in the provided John Adams Sr. signed Letter of Authentication. He describes his work as in the style of Cuno Helfricht with C+ Scroll engraving coverage, 3 inlaid bands of 24K gold on the barrel, 2 gold bands on the rear cylinder, and 24K gold outlines on the left and right sides of the frame. All was crafted to replicate the famously engraved Sears & Roebuck SAA Colt from 1897 made more famous later by the entertainer, Mel Torme’s purchase to his extensive Colt SAA collection in 1954. John Adams fitted this Colt with custom ivory grips provided by Dan Chesiak, depicting the 1880s style Eagle and Rampant Colt with a checkered background crafted by Dennis Holland. Top of barrel shows the one-line Colt legend, not the traditional two. Left side wears the two-line Colt patent legend. This gun was built with the smokeless frame and fluted cylinders. The original blue plastic case with paperwork is present. The second Colt SAA of this set, also has a John Adams Sr. signed Letter of Authentication, as well as a Colt Factory Letter. The letter from John, dated 2014 lists this 7 ½” nickel Colt as “Nimschke” style “C” engraved, nickel plated, with custom one-piece ivory grips, and a carved steer head w/Ruby eyes” on the right grip. It includes fire blue screws and smalls built on the black powder frame. The top of the barrel wears the single line Colt legend. The frame wears the three-line Colt patent legend. It too comes with its original factory cardboard box and paperwork. The luxurious walnut display case is attributed to Les Yoder. Inside this case is an inset Colt oil bottle that is also engraved and made in 2009 by Gary Hoy as well as a Sam Colt medal and uniquely engraved John Adams Sr. plaque to commemorate this pair of finely engraved Colt SAAs. CONDITION: As new. Neither gun shows any signs of having been used or turned. Simply put, an incredible set. 12,000 - 18,000

This wonderful, very early piece of Colt paper has a fancy blue impressed shield reading. “COLT’S PATENT / REPEATING / PISTOLS / MANUFACTURED AT / HARTFORD, / CONNECTICUT” with pair of crossed 1849 Pocket revolvers.

The robin’s egg blue envelope is of thin paper and measures approximately 6 - 1/8” by 3 - 3/8”. The seal from this particular envelope is photographed in “Colt Factory Engravers of the Nineteenth Century” by Herbert Houze. John Ogle’s “The Book of Colt Paper” has another example of this type of stamp pictured on page 42 indicating that it is circa 1850. PROVENANCE: Ex. Herbert Houze Collection. CONDITION: Fine. Color is very good. Paper is clean some faint staining from period adhesive under the flap. Some slight separations present at each end of the hinge.

Caliber/Bore: .32 ACP
Barrel Length: 4”
FFL Status: Curio & Relic
Beyond his iconic and groundbreaking Presidency, John F. Kennedy was a sportsman and firearms enthusiast, maintaining a sizable collection as well as a membership to the National Rifle Association. It is believed this flashy gold plated Colt M1903 pistol was among those in his collection as a young man. An included October 5, 1968 dated letter on Rod & Guns of Delray, Inc letterhead signed by Vice President John Kern records the sale of this gun described and listed by serial number to Roger Quisenberry, the gun having been traded in by James Darr of Kleiser’s Sporting Goods who had received it as a gift from Kennedy in 1960, just before his Presidency. The letter details Darr as having known John F. Kennedy for many years while working for Kleiser’s Sport Shop in Palm Beach, delivering fishing equipment, guns, and ammo to the Kennedy estate there. The letter described one such delivery in early 1960, where he was invited into the house where JFK was lounging on a raft in the pool and indicated that Darr could have this pistol as a “present for all your kindness and favors over the years.” According to the letter, the pistol was originally a gift from his father, Joseph Kennedy when John graduated college and that he used to shoot it on the beach at the estate. Darr kept the gun for several years but eventually traded it for a new Remington 1100 to duck hunt with. An additional 1994 letter on Kleiser’s Sport Shop letterhead confirms that Jimmy Darr worked there for 40 years and made numerous deliveries to the Kennedys, making friends with the family and also indicating “it is quite conceivable that Jack would give Jimmy the Colt pistol.” Another 1994 letter from Jimmy Darr’s widow Carolyn also confirms he made many deliveries to the Kennedy estate. After purchasing this special pistol, Roger Quisenberry retained it in his personal collection until his recent passing. The gun itself was manufactured circa 1908. It has been fully gold washed and fitted with smooth 2-piece pearl grips. The initials “J / K” are stamped on the right side of the frame. Although more famous for the use of “JFK”, Kennedy is also known to have used the initials “JK”. Otherwise standard for its vintage with half moon front sight, drift adjustable rear, early style barrel bushing, and 4” barrel. CONDITION: Very good overall. Approximately 95% gold plating remains with bubbling and flaking, especially along the high edges of the slide and near the muzzle. Grips are fine. Crisp, bright bore with light frosting throughout. Fine mechanics. Magazine appears to be replacement. A tremendous, very rare opportunity to acquire a historic JFK attributed firearm with period provenance. 22,000 - 32,000

Serial No. 519
Caliber/Bore: .525 Smoothbore
Barrel Length: 24”
FFL Status: Antique
Manufactured circa 1838-1841 with only approximately 950 made. Of these, the US War Department purchased 360, with 300 going to the Navy and 60 going to the Dragoons, where they would see limited use during the Second Seminole War. The Republic of Texas also bought 300, 180 of which went to the Texas Navy and 120 to the Rangers and Army. Rhode Island purchased an additional 46 guns. Of the Paterson era, these carbines would prove to be one of the most practical and popular models made. This is one of the finest known of the 360 purchased by the US War Department. Barrel is of the classic form for this model, transitioning from round at the muzzle to octagonal about halfway down with a .525 caliber smooth bore. Fitted with simple sights. Correct barrel address near rammer on right barrel flat with appropriate snakes terminating into stars at each end. The 6-shot cylinder is roll die engraved with 3 vignette cylinder scenes by W.L. Ormsby featuring the barrel scene, lion hunting motif, and early naval engagement scenes. “Patterson” on cylinder is spelled with 2 ts, which is correct for this model. Left side of walnut military stock is marked with the proper “WAT” in an oval US inspection cartouche for William Anderson Thornton. Matching serial numbers observed on barrel, wedge, cylinder, cylinder turn ring, back of breech extension, underneath top tang of frame, bottom tang of stock channel, and buttplate. Rammer assembly is serial numbered “273”. CONDITION: Very good, the factory original browned finish has turned a pleasant chocolate patina with scattered areas of original browning visible under bright light. Remnants of the cylinder scenes are visible, with the patent information and Ormsby signature still easily legible. Stock has been lightly cleaned with a preservative layer of finish added and handling marks throughout. Stock also has a longitudinal crack running underneath the top tang only visible when it is removed; the stock remains stable. Mechanically fine. Bore is mostly bright and smooth with scattered areas of freckling. An opportunity to own not only a very fine example of an extremely scarce martial revolving rifle with a very low survival rate, but also one that is important to the histories of Colt, the United States, and the Republic of Texas. A wonderful addition to the advanced Colt or martial arms collection. 50,000 - 70,000

Dates to first year production in 1851. Records indicate that 988 revolvers were ordered for the 1st regiment of Dragoons in 1851.

This is a classic Civil War sidearm used by both North and South, the most popular sidearm amongst Confederate officers. This is a nice, honest, original and complete example of an early 1861 New York addressed Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver made at the onset of the Civil War. Based on factory letter, this gun was shipped August 1861 to A. B. Semple & Sons, Louisville, KY and sold to C. B. Colton, “Collector of The Post” when war fervor was at its peak and Kentucky was in the middle of military action. Standard configuration with 7-1/2” octagon barrel. This is an interesting and aesthetically pleasing gun finished in military style, without silver plating on brass or varnish on grips. It was 1 of 60 guns in the shipment, no doubt some of these guns found their way into Confederate hands in Louisville, which had strong Confederate sympathies throughout the War. Charles B. Colton (1832-1916) was from a famous family of cartographers. Colton maps of Louisville and its environs are known from the 1850’s through the Civil War. Colton and his brother during this period were publishing maps of the West. Could he have bought these guns for a militia company? Could he have bought these guns to arm his fellow cartographers while surveying in hostile territory? Why was this particular gun with such a round 110500 serial number made in military style with oiled grips and no silver plating? More research may solve this mystery; but regardless, this is a fine example of an early wartime Colt Navy revolver. CONDITION: Fine as professionally refinished. Markings crisp, all easily read including barrel address and patent markings. Cylinder has areas of staining and light pitting, 80-90% of the naval battle rolled scene can be seen. Screws are all sharp, several retaining traces of blue. Stocks appear oil finished, not varnished and have hand worn patina with edge wear and small cosmetic blemishes. Mechanically fine with crisp well discerned rifling in bore. All matching numbers including wedge and grips. The accompanying contemporary Colt box it is displayed in is very good condition. 4,000 - 6,000

Very scarce transitional LeMat 9-shot .42 Cal revolver with 18 bore grapeshot center barrel. Serial numbered 390 with the transitional pattern loading lever assembly on left side and the 2nd model take down lever. All major components are numbered 390 including the grips internally. Top of barrel is marked “COL LEMAT BTE S.C.D.C” with “LM” marking on right side. The first model LeMat revolver is widely known as a Confederate used and imported weapon and was used notably by Confederate Officers Jeb Stewart, Stonewall Jackson, P.T. Beauregard, as well as members of Mosby’s 43rd Battalion of Virginia and many others. With the limited production of arms in the South, France was a friendly source of weapons and equipment but the challenge of blockades and international politics soon ended the French to South supply lines. With less than 450 total examples of the 1st model produced including the transitional models, they are prized and rarely encountered. This example is a recent discovery. CONDITION: Very fine. Most all of the finish has been polished bright with crisp serial number markings and barrel legends. Grips are exceptionally fine with light wear. Rifled bore is good with distinct rifling. Grapeshot bore is very fine with light frosting. Mechanically excellent. 17,500 - 27,500
1205 - CONFEDERATE 11-STAR FIRST NATIONAL FLAG.
Exceedingly rare, most likely nautical used 1st National Confederate ensign. Confederate 1st National pattern (Stars & Bars) flag, likely made during the beginning years of the Civil War, entirely hand-sewn and with 11 stars arranged in a circular wreath configuration. This star count reflects the eleven states that officially seceded from the Union. The bars are cotton, and canton is made of wool bunting that has been joined with handstitching. The stars are made of cotton, hand-sewn and double-appliqued. A hand-sewn heavy cotton canvas sleeve binds the hoist end. The 2-1/4” hoist end displays two atypical 1” heavy brass grommets of the Civil War period, and of the same style found in excavation digs, and not of the type found later. Stars are large and appealing and point in various directions, which adds further visual interest to the flag along with its bold coloration. At approximately 37” x 27”, the size would be small for an average Army flag. The weave and color of the red wool bunting is reminiscent of other Confederate examples noted and suspected to be produced for Naval use, while the size and proportions are similar to those of the most frequently seen variety of Union Navy small boat ensigns. Such colors were flown at the stern, from a gaff, or from the yard-arm on a larger vessel, or used as the primary flag on a skiff or other small craft that carried sailors back and forth to shore. These were the smallest flags that the Union Navy generally used, but the flags of the South tended to be smaller by a foot or more in most instances, probably due to lack of appropriate resources as the Confederacy was ill-equipped throughout the war. Fonda Thomsen of Textile Preservation Ltd’s findings (included) are, although the flag shows some uncommon characteristics, the textiles and threads are all Civil War era materials, and that the flag “appears to be a variant of a Confederate First National flag from the Civil War period.” CONDITION: Very good. Stitching is tight with no fading or smoke damage. Only light and scattered insect damage noted on the bunting. 5,000 - 10,000

Robert Hamilton McWhorter Davidson was born September 23rd, 1832, in Florida where he would serve as a state senator prior to the American Civil War. He enlisted with the 6th Florida Volunteer Infantry Regiment as a Captain in Company A on March 12, 1862. The 6th Florida Volunteer Infantry Regiment was part of Finley’s Florida Brigade, Army of Tennesee, where Captain R.H.M. Davidson would serve through Bragg’s Kentucky Invasion and in the defense of Knoxville. Then, they were united with Bragg’s main army at the battle of Chickamauga where the 6th would suffer heavy casualties. After this battle, R.H.M. Davidson was promoted to Major. Davidson continued to see action with the 6th Florida during Missionary Ridge, Atlanta Campaign, until an ill-advised frontal attack near Dallas, Georgia on May 28th, 1864 where he was severely wounded in the foot (which would be amputated). He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during this battle after Lieutenant Colonel McClean was killed while surveying the enemy line prior to the assault. Davidson was captured as a Prisoner of War and was paroled in May of 1865 after signing the oath of allegiance to the United States. This Remington Model 1858 Navy revolver is inscribed to Captain R.H.M. Davidson of Company A, 6th Florida. Revolver is in standard configuration with the exception of bobbed hammer, and replacement cylinder pin. Cylinder is possibly a period replacement, with patina not matching the rest of the gun and is not numbered. Inscription on the back reads “R.H.M. Davidson Capt. Co. A. 6th Fla.” in period engraved script. Accompanied by a period holster as well as an extensive binder of research. Included in the binder is Davidson’s service records, a certificate of authenticity dated October 29th, 2015 from Army of Tennessee Civil War Art & Artifacts, and research on Davidson from Washington Lee & Associates Confederate and Union Genealogical Research. CONDITION: Good, with virtually all of the original finishes turned an even brown patina with evidence of careful preservative cleaning, most evident near trigger guard. Mechanically fine. Bore is frosted with scattered areas of abrasion throughout and crisp rifling. Holster shows wear throughout with tight stitching, and button included in the holster as holster closure strap has come apart. Confederate Florida artifacts are difficult to come by, and especially difficult to come by with provenance such as this. A great set. 3,000 - 5,000

Dudley William Jones was born in 1840 in Lamar County, Texas, his family arriving among the earliest settlers of the area. They moved to Mt. Pleasant, Texas shortly after his birth where he grew up and where he enlisted as a private in the Titus Grays, Company I of Col. William Simm’s 9th Texas Cavalry. On October 14, 1861 Jones was elected 1st Lieutenant and regimental adjunct after his predecessor was hanged for supposed abolitionism and bigamy. The regiment served under General McCulloch’s Army of the West in Arkansas, Missouri, and the Indian Territories before the March 1862 Battle of Elkhorn Tavern (Pea Ridge) when the unit was reorganized and moved to Mississippi under Lawrence Sullivan Ross’ brigade. During the regionalization Jones was elected Colonel although only 22 years old at the time and remained in command of the 9th Texas Cavalry for the remainder of the War. In the final days of the War, Jones commanded Ross’ brigade under Nathan Bedford Forrest’s Cavalry Corps. The regiment participated in some 30 fights in various battles and skirmishes. After the War, Col. Jones was elected to the Constitutional Convention of 1866 and served as President of the Texas Club, a Confederate veteran organization. The following year he moved to Houston to open a law practice as well as edited the city’s first daily newspaper, the “Ku Klux Vidette”. His life was unfortunately cut short in 1869 from a bowel rupture. This Henry rifle was manufactured in 1863 during the War and features a large period engraved “D. W. Jones.” inscription with decorative flourishes on the left side panel. Standard blued octagon barrel stamped with the ear ly small size 2-line address. Correct tapered profile German silver front sight. Rear dovetail has been filled in with a notched blank in the period. A more substantial period v-notch rear sight has been fitted to the frame dovetail. Full length magazine tube with forward sling bar with ring. The large style brass follower appears to be a replacement. Magazine spring is slightly short but is of the correct style. Matching “565” assembly numbers observed on the rear of loading gate and on the barrel underneath. The straight grain walnut stock is of expected form with slightly obtuse comb angle and a mild perch belly. The original sing swivel was removed from the right side long ago and the slot filled in with a section of wood. Early rounded heel butt plate with tool trap. Matching numbers observed on barrel, frame tang, stock channel, the underside of the butt plate, and all 5 of the stock screws. CONDITION: Very good overall. Barrel displays a gray patina throughout with some surface spotting and high edge wear. Receiver has a mild golden mustard patina and shows some nicks and handling marks, especially around the side plates. Lever and hammer display a dark patina. Stock fits slightly shy and shows heavy use with surface wear throughout, as well as scattered impressions, dings, and nicks. A few oil marks run along the toe line. Well defined bore with darkness and some abrasion in the grooves. Action is sluggish but does cycle, the lifter struggling to come all of the way up. Civil War inscribed Henrys are among the most desirable, with Confederate examples seldom seen, let alone with Texas Cavalry identification. A nice, honest and matching Henry that would make an excellent addition to any advanced Civil War collection. 20,000 - 40,000

Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2”
FFL Status: Antique
Kopec certified Colt US Cavalry .45 revolver inspected by Ainsworth in original configuration. Manufactured and inspected circa 1873 for use by the U.S. Cavalry. In the accompanying letter by John A. Kopec, he notes that this revolver is in a serial number range that suggests it was issued to the 6th or 10th Cavalry. In addition, it is noted in the letter that this SAA escaped the Ordnance Department recall of 1893 for the alteration to Artillery configuration. The most likely reason for this, in Kopec’s opinion, is that the gun was “liberated” by a deserting trooper. Sub-inspector O.W. Ainsworth’s “A” marking observed on barrel (faint), trigger guard, top of backstrap near hammer, and cylinder. Desirable early features include script barrel address, serial number close to cylinder pin, early ejector rod housing assembly which has both the donut ejector rod head as well as the reinforcement stud, 2 line patent date, and small front sight. The grips are replacements from an earlier revolver, probably an early civilian Single Action Army. CONDITION: Very good, as lightly polished to a gray patina with freckling throughout. Grips are very good with no major signs of distress. Right grip panel is museum numbered “H125”. Action is tight and crisp. Bore is dark with visible rifling. 9,000 - 12,000

FFL Status: Antique
Manufactured using Colt Cavalry Single Action Army replacement parts for the United States Government during the end of the 19th century-turn of the 20th century time frame. With very few exceptions, these Artillery revolvers are serialized on the barrel, frame, trigger guard, and, butt like all other Colt Single Action Armies; this revolver is 1 of 12 known examples of a Colt Artillery without a serial number. Furthermore, it is 1 of only 2 with the U.S. acceptance stamp on the left side of the frame. These “Non-Numbered Artillery Revolvers” (Cavalry & Artillery Revolvers... A Continuing Study, pages 100-108) were made likely as a cleanup effort of all remaining arsenal replacement parts circa 1903. Features include 5 - 1/2” barrel marked “45 COLT” on left side, blade front sight, “V” notch rear sight, single line barrel address, kidney shaped ejector rod head, “U.S.” marked frame, 2-line patent marking, and walnut grips. Visible inspector stamps include “L.D.” on frame, “K” on trigger guard, “R.A.C.” on rear of cylinder and bottom of left grip panel, and “H” in hammer channel. CONDITION: Very good, with most of the original blue finish turned an untouched brown-gray patina with visible bluing in protected areas such as ejector rod housing, cylinder flutes, and trigger guard. Grips are strong with no major signs of distress, however, were unable to be removed from backstrap for inspection. Mechanically excellent with all 4 hammer stops.

Caliber/Bore: .44 Russian
Barrel Length: 8”
FFL Status: Antique
This revolver was produced from 1871 through 1874 for the American commercial market and has nothing to do with the Russian contracts. It is simply an American style revolver but chambered for the popular .44 Russian cartridge. The factory letter lists this revolver as having been shipped on on December 12, 1872 to its major distributor, M. W. Robinson of NYC. It was shipped with 60 Russian models and 140 American models in standard configuration. The majority of this production appears to have been issued with the factory nickel finish but letter lists this one as factory blue. This finish is far scarcer. The top barrel legend is standard with the Russian Model stamp. The hammer and trigger guard are case color and wears the two piece walnut grip panels. CONDITION: Fine. Overall, this revolver appears to retain at least 60-70% bright factory blue , extremely bright blue in all protected areas. The balance is perfectly blended patina. All edges are crisp as are the legends. The grips are fine showing minor impressions. The mechanics are crisp. The bore is bold with some minor abrasion. Flashes of case color are still present.

Serial No. 79868
Caliber/Bore: .44 Henry Rimfire
Barrel Length: 24”
FFL Status: Antique
This fabulous, signed Conrad Ulrich exhibition quality factory engraved and well published 3rd model rifle was manufactured in 1871. The blued rifle length octagon barrel is marked towards the breech with the second style 2-line address. Drift adjustable German silver blade front sight and ladder rear. The gilt finished brass frame is signed on the left side of the upper tang with three of Conrad Ulrich’s discreet boxed “C.F. ULRICH” touch marks. The highly detailed engraving is very imaginative and a lovely representation of his work, some of most intricate found on a Winchester. The left side features a unique central panel depicting a leaf clad native family, their child unfortunately caught in the jaws of a ferocious crocodile. The forward scalloped panel has a buck and doe in a wooded scene. These panels are surrounded by arabesque scroll in which the engraver has cleverly integrated two gentlemen, one with a Winchester rifle, as well as saddled horse. The central panel on the right side features a pair of hunting dogs taking down a buck with the approaching hunter, rifle in hand, in the background. Just as on the left side, the forward vignette is also of a buck and doe. The scroll which surrounds the panel scenes also include striking Western animal vignettes of a charging bison, standing grizzly bear, and skulking cougar. It is known several Ulrich engraved rifles of this quality were showcased at the 1876 Centennial Exposition, and it is surmised that this rifle, given its level of intricacy and unique engraving patterns, was also likely a factory exhibition piece. The lower tang is marked with an “OXX” special order and wood grade stamp. The attractive flame grain walnut butt stock has a faint assembly number stamped in the channel which reads “60[??]”. Stock is outfitted with a sling swivel, a forward sling swivel also present on the engraved nose cap. The engraved brass crescent butt plate is numbered “8555” on the inside of the toe. Tool trap includes a 4-piece brass tipped steel cleaning rod. Publications featuring this rifle include pages 86 and 90 of “The Winchester Book” by George Madis and page 111 of “Winchester Engraving” by R.L. Wilson. CONDITION: Good, showing honest, heavy use. The barrel retains strong portions of faded blue mixing with some added finish for a rich and attractive chocolate patina. Strong traces of gilding are retained in the protected areas of the frame and nose cap, the balance displaying a even mellow bronze patina. Brass shows scattered nicks and wear. Two of the side plate screws have been bushed long ago to tighten them up after heavy use. Several screw heads are marred. Loading gate blue has largely faded to patina. Forend has some added finish and scattered nicks, along with repaired split on the left side. Stock fits somewhat shyly to the tang and has a stabilized spilt at the toe. Some impressions are scattered throughout with a few deeper nicks on the right side. It wears a pleasant older refinish. Dark, abraded bore. Fine mechanics. Cleaning rod is fine. It is clear this gun was well loved and well used for many years. An exceptional and well know masterwork by leading Winchester engraver Conrad Ulrich which truly captures the imagination. 30,000 - 40,000

1325 - ADM COOPER PAINTING OF A HUNTER AND HIS DOGS AFIELD.
An outstanding example of the works that made Cooper famous in saloons both across the West and internationally. Executed in his iconic tromp l’eoil style, which utilizes light and shadow to fool the viewer into seeing the image as a 3D rendering, with some of Cooper’s best paintings causing a ruckus when people believed that they were real, such as the Cleopatra painting he exhibited at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, which caused at least one viewer to rush the painting that depicted the oil-and-canvas woman. This example depicts a hare diving to escape a pointer who has already managed to retrieve a gamebird, with the rabbit getting ready to leap from the canvas into our world to escape the dog. In the background is another pointer, presumably alerting on another animal, and a hunter reloading his shotgun. Signed in the lower right corner “A.D.M. Cooper / 1900”. In a gesso frame.

Length of pull of 14 - 3/8” over a checkered butt with heel and toe clips and ¼” cast off. Prince of Wales grip, double triggers on a square bar action, auto-safety, hold open top lever, passive rib extension, low profile file cut solid rib with a small front bead, gold inlaid “SAFE” ahead of the small button style safety catch, gold lined cocking indicators, rolled edge trigger guard, drop points, initialed gold oval on the toe line, checkered wrist and forend with mullered borders, and an Anson push button forend release. The gun is housed in a brown leather case with burgundy baize, maker’s label, snap caps, oil pot, two-piece cleaning rod, and a jag. This circa 1921 gun was proofed in London for 1 1/8 oz loads. The chambers measure 2 ¾” with no indication that they have been lengthened. Both lock plates read “BOSS & Co” in banners in addition to “PATENT No 3307, 1919” on both sides of the action frame. The bottom of the forend iron reads “BOSS’S PATENT No 3308, 1919” while the barrels bear the “13 DOVER STREET” address for Boss & Co and also read “SIR JOSEPH WHITWORTH’S PRESSED FLUID STEEL”. The serial number is engraved in block form on the bottom strap. Engraved with Boss’s iconic small rose and scroll developed by John Sumner when John Robertson was at the helm at Boss. The engraving would very likely have been executed by John’s son, Jack Sumner, who joined Boss full time in 1920 following his service in the Great War, having previously engraved for both Boss and other makers. Case color hardened action and blued furniture. Highly figured exhibition grade walnut stock. CONDITION: The gun remains in excellent and original condition. About 80% of case colors remain. Excellent bores and bluing on barrels. No evidence that the barrels have been reblacked or the bores honed. Both bores show minor frosting and measure at .729”. The checkering is crisp and clean and does not show evidence of having been recut. Stock and forend appear to be original and in excellent condition with evidence of minor use in the form of some scratches and compression marks. Both the stock and the forend wood is still proud of the metal surfaces. The amount of remaining case colors, standing face condition, and the overall high and original condition points to very little actual use seen by the gun. The top lever is slightly right of center, the gun is on face, and the ejectors are slightly out of time. Included are two copies of the order for the gun through Von Lengerke & Detmold (VLD) dated December 1st, 1920. The order confirms that this gun was the second gun of a pair and that the gun remains as ordered other than choke in the top barrel has been opened up to light modified from full. An early Boss gun like this one seldom comes to market. Your chance to own a high and original condition Boss over and under from between the wars. 15,000 - 25,000

VIRGINIA REGT. MARKED JOHN MILES
FLINTLOCK CONTRACT PISTOL.
Manufacturer: John Miles
Model: Flintlock
Caliber/Bore: .62 Smoothbore
Barrel Length: 10”
FFL Status: Antique
Prior to the Virginia Manufactory being able to produce pistols on its own, John Miles Sr. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania delivered approximately 250 pairs of pistols to Virginia to arm their cavalry during the period of 1802 through 1804. The first of these pistols were supplied approximately on October 7th, 1801. The first production coincides with the last of the production of the North & Cheney pistols. There is believed to be less than ten of these Miles Virginia Contract pistols known to exist today. This gun features the legend “MILES PHILAD” stamped on the lock with 4 VA Reg, along with Miles ? on the barrel. There is a “P” proof on the left side of the barrel at the breech. The pommel, side plate and trigger guard are brass. As with the Virginia Manufactory guns, this could be considered a secondary Confederate firearm. CONDITION: The barrel is an untouched deep patina with some overall pepper but most markings are legible. Brass is nicely toned. Wood is solid with a chunk missing from bottom right toe and some scattered dings. The brass tip wooden ramrod is held in place by one brass trumpet. Mechanically sound bore is fairly clean.

2010 -
HISTORIC JOHN GONTER MARYLAND COMMITTEE OF SAFETY FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY PISTOL.
Manufacturer: John Gonter
Model: Kentucky
Caliber/Bore: .58 Caliber smoothbore
Barrel Length: 8”
FFL Status: Antique
This exact pistol is pictured in the book “The Kentucky Pistol” by Chandler & Whisker on page 52, plate 44. There is a letter from famed historian D.D. Hartzler stating that this militia pistol was made in Hagerstown Maryland by John Gonter between 1789 through 1801. After the burning of Washington by the British during the War of 1812, which was protected by the Maryland militia, the committee was reformed as the Baltimore Committee of Vigilance and Safety as fears grew that Baltimore may be the next casualty. This new group of approximately thirty prominent citizens supported General Samuel Smith of the Maryland militia to fortify the city. Maryland also had a long coastline and was constantly fearful of a British naval attack. During this tense era, the state militia was strengthened with many influential volunteers. Historical battles were fought in defense of Baltimore and the famous bombardment of Fort McHenry (also located in Baltimore ) in 1814 after which the Star Spangled Banner was conceived. This Maryland militia marked weapon was a probable witness to all of these events. This single shot flintlock pistol features a brass barrel, trigger guard, pommel and rod tip. The stock appears to be of burl walnut. The lock is maker stamped but partially illegible. The maker, J. GONTER is cartouche stamped a on top of the barrel as well as the brass left side retaining plate. The Maryland militia large M stamp can be found stamped on left side of barrel breech as well as on the left side of stock. Lot comes with a copy of the aforementioned hard cover book along with letter. CONDITION: Fine. Beautiful stock that does have a tightly repaired hairline at top of wrist. Brass is nicely toned. All legends sans lock are sharp. Mechanically sound. Bore is not rifled and shows some abrasion. A very fine and historic flintlock pistol dating to the birth of the Star Spangled Banner. 5,000 - 7,500
2011 - RARE AMERICAN SILVER HILTED
SWORD BY JOHN BAILEY.
Blade Length: 26 - 3/4”
Overall Length: 32 - 7/8”
This sword is certainly the work of New York maker John Bailey. An identical signed John Bailey sword with this exact hilt and blade is pictured in Figure 436 on page 488 of “American Silver-Hilted, Revolutionary and Early Federal Swords: Volume I” by Daniel D. Hartzler. The sword shown in the book has its original silver mounted scabbard signed “John Bailey” on the throat mount. The blade is slightly curved with three short fullers on each side, towards the hilt. The blade is stamped with four stamped heads by Johann Wundes and has “A ND RE A / F AR AR A” on the blade stamped with a letter on each side of each stamped head. The s-shaped guard terminates at both ends with an eagle quillon. Above the ferrule on one side, there is a chased lion with a stand of arms and on the other a chased eagle with trumpets in background. The ebony grip was once wrapped with a thin piece of silver with only a remnant remaining below pommel cap. The pommel cap has a chased relief shell and a lion with the chain loop in its mouth. Silver capstan on top. CONDITION: Blade retains a brown patina with some sharpening marks and nicks to cutting edge. Some light pitting at top of blade on unhardened section. Stamps very good. Lower cross guard section is bent towards the grip. Silver shows some high edge wear. Blade is tight to hilt. Grip shows some scattered minor marks and a very thin hairline crack. A very important early American New York silver hilt. 5,000 - 10,000

Allison’s service history, including copies of his muster rolls and pension records. Most importantly, the folder also contains a handwritten letter dated April 3, 1966 attributing this rifled musket to Private Johnathan L. Allison. The letter was drafted by his granddaughter and states that this rifled musket was “the property of Jonathan L. Allison”. Born in Pennsylvania in 1834, Allison was a 31-year-old farmer in Adams County, when he enlisted in the 165th Pennsylvania Militia at Gettysburg and mustered into Company F as a private on November 10, 1862. The unit moved to Washington on December 8 and then to Suffolk, Virginia, where it joined the 7th Corp. Elements of the regiment took part in the expedition to Blackwater, the fight at Deserted House, the defense of Suffolk against Longstreet, the Weldon Railroad raid in May 1863, and movement toward Richmond during Lee’s absence in the Gettysburg campaign. Allison mustered out with the regiment at Gettysburg on July 28, 1863. He reenlisted on March 13, 1865, mustering into Company G of the 101st Pennsylvania, which was reorganizing after losing most of its members as prisoners in the siege and surrender of Plymouth, North Carolina, in April 1864. He mustered out with the unit on June 25, 1865, and returned to civilian life and later moved to Maryland. Allison passed away in 1916.

Lewis was born in Frederick, Maryland, in 1836, but was working in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, as a carpenter when the war started. He enlisted there in the 4th (U.S.) Kentucky Infantry on July 17, 1861, receiving a commission as Second Lieutenant of Company C. During his time with the unit, they saw action in the battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky. He transferred in April 1863 to the 12th Kentucky Infantry to become First Lieutenant of Company A, (commissioned, but not mustered,) and in June transferred again to the 4th Kentucky Cavalry to be Captain of Company I. At the Battle of Chickamauga, the regiment marched to Crawfish Springs, where it was fiercely engaged with Confederate cavalry under General Wheeler. In that desperate fighting the regiment lost 4 officers and over 90 men wounded and missing. Lewis was 1 of the 4 officers lost, being captured and interned until mid-1864. A fellow veteran recalled his emaciated condition on his return. The regiment had continued active service in the Atlanta Campaign, fighting at Resaca and elsewhere. In Fall 1864 it was ordered to Nashville to fight under Thomas against Hood. Lewis was honorably discharged in January 1865 and saw subsequent service as a lieutenant in the regular army in the 14th and 23rd US Infantry from July 1866-January 1871, stationed in Arizona, Missouri, and Oregon. In his last years he was in a veteran’s home in Danville, Virginia, where he died May 1913. The folder with paperwork includes a 1967 letter from Lewis’s great-granddaughter, and research from his service including pension records. CONDITION: Very good, with iron assemblies turned a speckled gray-brown patina. Brass trigger guard was lightly cleaned and is now regaining a mellow patina.

Following the formation of the Volkssturm he was assigned as a Zugfuhrer and an instructor. During his time with the Wermacht and 246th Infantry he was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class, Infantry Assault Badge, Black and Silver Wound Badges, and the Combat Clasp in Bronze. The Tunic is the only piece attributed to Klaus Edenbacher directly and exhibits Zugfuhrer rank insignia. The remainder of this set includes all original military issue components including M40 Field Trousers, Jackboots with the original soles and hobnailing, M43 Heer Field Cap (stamped “54” with faint maker stamping), M31 Mess Kit, M31 Breadbag, M31 Canteen, 2 G43 Magazine Pouches, WWII Issued German Wermacht Belt Buckle and Belt, Volkssturm Armband, Iron Cross Second Class, Infantry Assault Badge, Black and Silver Wound Badges (Silver is marked “L/13” for Meybauer), and Combat Clasp in Bronze. The uniform set was assembled by Archival Arms, and the Iron Cross has a small scanned piece of newspaper with it attributing it to Ernst Albat. 2,000 - 3,000
2224 - US NAVY BOAT FLAG.
These smaller flags with a reduced number of stars to make them more visible were adopted in the mid-1850s for small vessels. The use of 13 stars seems to have been adopted about 1862 and the 4-3-4 configuration was standard to about 1875. 24” x 36”. Handwritten “3 x 2” twice on hoist canvas hoist. Red and white bunting stripes, blue canton with separately applied machine sewn stars on each side. Small scattered moth nips overall. Small runs next to canvas hoist. Generally solid and very displayable with good color. Two brass grommets. These flags were replaced in 1916 with flags bearing the official number of stars on a US flag.
CONDITION: Very good. 2,000 - 4,000
2225 - PATTERN 1859 USMC CIVIL WAR ENLISTED SHAKO
Original and complete Pattern 1859 enlisted USMC shako. At the start of the Civil War in 1861, the U.S. Marine Corps had 48 officers and 2,338 enlisted men, growing to nearly 5,000 total by the end of hostilities in 1865. These low numbers make any surviving headgear from these years exceedingly rare. This was the full dress headgear that was prescribed for wear for Marines during the Civil War. This example is original and complete in every respect. Front displays correct first pattern gold gilded shield and wreath with center “M” and hunting horn which was the Marine emblem prior to the adoption of the iconic eagle, globe, and anchor device that came into being in 1868. Pressed felt body has no dents, and tarred top is solid to body. Inside of crown bears the correct contract label from Bent & Bush of Boston. Shako’s entirely intact sweat band is composed of a series of multi-finger type leather tabs of a thinly glazed coated leather with a scored linear design. The seldom seen thinly braided polished cotton string is still holding it in place. Tarred bill, chinstrap and high dome side buttons are all correct and present. A very nice example of Marine headgear that is seldom seen, and within the top 5 that this cataloger has handled. CONDITION: Very good with no soft spots or fading as well as no bug damage. 2,500 - 3,500
2226 - ID’D US MARINE CORPS PATTERN 1875 ENLISTED SHAKO.

Liner to inside of crown reads: MANUFACTURED / BY / RAYMOND RIDABOCK / MILITARY GOODS / 39 WEST 14TH STREET / NEW YORK with a label in iron ink script with the name ‘J.H. Spackman’.

2230 - US MARINE CORPS PATTERN 1904 ENLISTED SPECIAL FULL DRESS HAT.
This very distinct pattern cap was not a general issue item and therefore not many were produced. The Special Full Dress uniform was prescribed for use for Marines assigned to only certain billets that called for the uniform; attaché assistants, White House duty, etc. In use from from the early 1900s through 1912, this was the complimenting headgear used with the Special Full Dress uniform of the same pattern.

2232 - LOT OF 4: US WWI MARINE CORPS ENLISTED SERVICE GREEN COVERS.
Lot of (4) WWI period Marine Corps enlisted winter service covers of forest green wool. This style cap originally came out in 1912 with a large resurgence of orders around the 1917-1918 timeframe for WWI. All are correct to regulations with two of them exhibiting earlier shape and characteristics of the true P1912 variant that had a very subtle slightly less flared crown. Marine supply chain issues were not equipped to replace the uniforms that were first worn to France at the beginning of the War so they were ordered to use what was available in the U.S. Army stores. Some variation in color will be noted as the more olive or brown wool example was made to wear with these Army uniforms that were being issued to Marine replacements. All show correct wicker construction, sweatbands, chinstraps, and bear period correct EGA Corps devices to the front. CONDITION: Very good. 1,500 - 3,000
ENLISTED DRESS COVERS.
Lot of (4) enlisted Marine Corps P1912 dress covers. These would all be appropriate as the headgear to accompany the WW1 dress blues uniform. Included is the more scarce white cotton duck summer / tropical cover. This example was made to exist as a stand alone cover, not just the white cover on a blue frame. All are correct to regulations, of wicker construction, and have the era appropriate P1914 gold gilt brass EGA Corps devices to the fronts. Various contract makers. CONDITION: Very good. 1,200 - 2,200
2233 - LOT OF 4: US WWI MARINE CORPS
2234 - USMC MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT SMEDLEY BUTLER’S UNIFORM.
Few United States Marine Corps collectibles reside within the realm of iconic or historically important. This uniform set is both. Maj. Gen Smedley Darlington Butler needs no introduction to those versed in Marine Corps lore. He was a Pennsylvania native, and is one of two Marines to be awarded two Medals of Honor, and the only officer to claim the title. Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly was the only enlisted recipient of two. A complicated individual, Butler was an American Major General, writer, anti-war activist, and whistleblower. Over his military career, he fought in the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, World War I, and the Banana Wars. At the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. military history; he received sixteen medals, including five for heroism. He is the only Marine to be awarded the Marine Corps Brevet Medal as well as two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions. This unlined summer uniform was made by a Chinese tailor, and bears Chinese inked letters to the inside. We believe it was made during Butler’s 3rd Brigade’s China Expedition, which was launched due to ongoing concerns regarding stability in China during the Warlord Era. The uniform itself is seen in numerous period images with stains visible to the naked eye in the 1920s images and still seen on the uniform in the same positions. The very distinct, cloisonne ribbon bars are unequivocally Chinese made, most likely in Shanghai, and share similarities to the famous and highly sought after color enameled diamond plates of the various Marine mounted detachments. These exact ribbons bars correspond to Butler’s awards, and are seen in 1927-1929 images with the sunlight reflecting off them. The period correct bronze officer collar insignia are the P1927 “droop wing / China Marine” variation, and bear N.S. Meyer maker’s stamps to to the reverse. The undershirt and tie are period correct and also came with the set. There is a slight diagonal “ghosting” effect on the tunic where Smedley’s iconic Sam Browne belt was worn in the bright sun for years to create the shadow. It is a well known fact that Butler wore a Sam Browne even when it came and went out of uniform regulations. Many of Butler’s belongings and uniform items surfaced in the early 2000s and were coming directly from the family into the collector community. This uniform set was brokered directly into the current consignor’s collection at that time. For comparison, Butler’s dress blues uniform hold a revered place of display prominence at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia, and have the exact same visual appearance as to size. The importance of this uniform set cannot be understated, and it is literally a “once-in-a-lifetime” investment grade opportunity to own a uniform from a Marine Corps legend. CONDITION: Very good. Some light period commensurate wear and stains. From a smoke free collection. 15,000 - 25,000
2235 - ORNATE CHINESE MADE DESK SET USED BY GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER DURING HIS TIME IN CHINA.
Fantastic array of Chinese made brass desk accoutrements that were used and brought home by Marine Corps Maj. Gen Smedley Butler during his time in late 1920s China. All solidly made, these items correspond to known styles from the region and period. This was purchased from the Butler family at the same time as the Butler uniform being offered in a separate lot and oral history states that the USMC museum in Quantico verified that the desk was indeed used by Butler, and that Smedley’s son, Tom Butler used it in his law office after Smedley passed. Deserves further research as there is a good chance the desk can be found in a period photo while in use. CONDITION: Very good. 400 - 800
2236 - EXTREMELY RARE WWI USMC FEMALE MARINE UNIFORM GROUPING.
Exceedingly rare ID’d WWI female uniform set to USMCR (f) Corporal Evadne “Peggy” Hea (Cheney). During the first World War, roughly 300 female Marines were enlisted from a pool of over 2,000 applicants. Lot consists of a women’s Army olive colored winter service tunic with a very distinct roll collar design with (4) bronzed USMC buttons. This design is specific to the women Marines of the WWI period. Each sleeve bears a correct Marine green on red wool corporals chevron as this was her rank at discharge. Accompanying the tunic is the matching two-pocket skirt with undershirt and tie. Her overseas Glengarry overseas cap with Marine buttons and P1914 EGA is present. Also included is four hand-typed and signed letters from Cpl Hea to historian and collector John Stacey that span 1969-1974. In these letters she details her service along with what uniform items she preserved and their transfer to Mr. Stacey as well as her role in the historical monograph published by History and Museums Division, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, Washington D.C. in 1974, (A copy of this book is included). She is mentioned numerous times in the monograph and is pictured prominently as well in the same uniform and hat being auctioned in this lot. Provenance: Previously on loan for a display of female Marines at the USMC Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C., Command Museum. The unbroken chain of custody from the original owner to the present day is very rarely seen in any category let alone a uniform from such a short-lived and small group of exceptional ladies. CONDITION: Very good. Only a few tiny moth nips noted. 2,000 - 4,000
2237 - RARE US WWI MARINE CORPS FEMALE MARINE RESERVE SUMMER UNIFORM.

He would later be commissioned in 1920 and then see service in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, China, and the Philippines during the Banana Wars period. He would later command the MarDet aboard USS Pensacola, and then go on the 6th Marine Regiment during WW2, ultimately retiring as a Colonel. All retain period correct officer dress EGA Corps devices. CONDITION: Very good overall with one showing a loose sweatband. No moth tracking of note. 1,200 - 1,500
A historically significant World War II grouping consisting of a footlocker full of ephemera that is a time capsule of woman pilot. Anne Armstrong McClellan was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. She joined the WASPs after her husband, an aviator she had only been married to for just over a year, was reported as a prisoner of war following the fall of Bataan and later reported as killed. McClellan was a California native and was assigned to Love Field in Texas. A photograph from 1943 captures her at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, taken by LIFE Magazine photographer Peter Stackpole. A caption from the LIFE magazine where this photo was published reads “Fifinella Macot, designed by Walt Disney for the girl pilots, trims blouse of Anne Armstrong McClellan, 21-year-old from Sonoma, Calif. Anne, whose young pilot-husband has been missing since Bataan, majored in aeronautics at college and wants to fly after the war.”. A period copy of this photo is included. The WASP program was a pioneering organization that allowed women to serve as pilots, undertaking various non-combat flying duties to free male pilots for combat roles. The group contains a large amount of ephemera including various wartime documents detailing Anne’s service as well as several newspaper clippings, books, manuals, and other ephemera. It appears as though Anne saved most items pertaining to her service. There is also a small photo album with great photos of Anne and her fellow WASPs, as well as a few male pilots. McClellan’s contribution, especially under the personal strain of her husband’s wartime status, is quite telling regarding the resilience of female service members during World War II. This is an excellent WASP footlocker group that was obtained directly from McClellan’s estate. All ephemera exhibits blemishes typical of old paper, some documents have tears, rips, foxing, smudging, fold lines, etc. CONDITION: Fair-very good. 2,000 - 4,000

He had the honor of landing at Atsugi Airport on August 30 in the airborne occupation of Japan and of escorting General of the Army Douglas MacArthur to the surrender ceremonies aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945. Ballentine retired on May 1, 1954 and passed away in 1970. The group consists of a group of letters which mostly date to his pre-World War II service and post-World War II service. There is also a binder of 8x10 photos which mostly date to his post-World War II service as well as six negative albums that contains content ranging from family photos as well as some from his military service.

All pieces with the exception of the print are contained in two heavy wood foot lockers, one of which has Ballentine’s name on the lid. All ephemera exhibits blemishes typical of old paper, some documents have tears, rips, foxing, smudging, fold lines, etc. Uniform exhibits scattered staining as typical with dress white uniforms. CONDITION: Good. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. 3,000 - 5,000

2248 - HISTORIC CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION KNIFE AND WALKING STICK INSCRIBED TO JOHN SALISBURY WOUNDED AT GETTYSBURG.
Blade Length: 6 - 1/4”
Overall Length: 10 - 1/4”
Attractive Civil War presentation cane inscribed on the top of the grip to corporal John Salisbury of Company B, 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry. Salisbury enlisted on 22 July 1861 and was with the regiment through most of the major battles of the Eastern Theater early in the war including the siege of Yorktown, the Seven Days, Mechanicsville, Gaines Mill, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, where the regiment laid for a day and two nights under withering fire from the Confederate positions behind the stone wall on Marye’s Heights. At the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the 62nd was part of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, V Corps under Major General Sykes. On the second day of the battle, elements of V Corps including the 62nd were rushed into action on the Union left flank to support the collapsing III Corps under Major General Sickles. The 2nd Brigade, including the 62nd, found itself heavily engaged in “the wheat field” and along Wheatfield Road, including hand-to-hand combat and nearly being cut off. The brigade entered the battle with nearly 900 men but would leave it with barely half that many. According to the inscription on the cane, Salisbury was wounded at Gettysburg, and it was likely that it happened during carnage of “the wheatfield”. By the time the 62nd Pennsylvania marched away from Gettysburg after the third day of fighting, it could muster barely 90 men. The regiment would go on to be involved in the battles of The Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and the Siege of Petersburg, before Salisbury and his company were mustered out on 13 July 1864. The gilt knob-shaped grip of the cane exhibits the inscription Presented / -to- / Corpl John Salisbury /Co B 62nd P.V. / by his friends / in Birmingham”. Many of the major battles the regiment was involved in are inscribed in several escutcheons around the sides along with “Wounded / at / Gettysburg”, all surrounded by floral motifs. The knob was tested and is 14K gold. The ebony shaft is decorated with ivory tacks and is tipped with a German silver and iron ferrule. The cane is accompanied by a small Bowie knife with a clip point blade marked “HENRY / HOBSON / & SONS”. The knife also features a silvered guard and a nearly identical handle with ebony grip and raised abalone inlays. The knife exhibits a gray patina with wear to the handle. Cane remains sturdy with intact haft and generous amounts of gilding. Knob exhibits one small stress crack. CONDITION: Very good. 2,000 - 4,000

FROM HARPER’S FERRY IN THE JOHN BROWN RAID
Blade Length: 19”
Overall Length: 25”
A very interesting example of an Ames Model 1832 Foot Artillery Sword with attributions to John Brown’s infamous raid at Harpers Ferry and provenance from renowned military goods dealer Francis Bannerman. The sword exhibits a heavy patina but despite the damages, is in standard M1832 configuration, and is marked “N.P. AMES / SPRINGFIELD” on the obverse blade and “UNITED STATES (upside down) / 1841 / WS” on the reverse blade. According to accompanying provenance, this short sword was taken to Harpers Ferry by John Brown and his assailants and later captured there after the insurrection was suppressed. John Brown was known to utilized these short swords and were a favored weapon among his forces during the slaughter of pro-slavery advocates, especially during Bleeding Kansas. It is also noted in the trial of John Brown that the arms captured at the Kennedy Farm included “boxes filled with Sharpe’s rifles, pistols, etc., all bearing the stamp of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Company, Chicopee, Mass.” as well as “spades, pickaxes, shovels, and everything else that might be needed” with the official stores including “12 Old Artillery Swords”. A tag affixed to the hilt of this short sword sheds light on its story and reads “323-D A historic relic of John Brown’s Raid on Harpers ferry Arsenal. One of a lot of pikes and swords captured and stored at Harper’s Ferry Arsenal. When John Brown and his men surrendered, later taken by the Confederates early in the cont. the War and eventually given to a Texas Regiment, from whom they were later captured and stored at the U.S Arsenal Mt. Vernon, Ala. afterwards destroyed by fire the old metal in the Arsenal ruins sent to the rolling mill at Rock Island Arsenal, from whom we acquired them. A historical relic sword that helped precipitate the great Civil War.”. The tag bears the famous label of Francis Bannerman, who needs no introduction among arms collectors. It is known that after the capture of arms by the Independent Greys, the arms were then dispersed to Confederate units with the outbreak of the Civil War and it would not be uncommon for this short sword to have ended up in the armament of a Texas regiment and later captured by Federal troops. The sword was previously sold by John J. Hayes Historical Collectibles and is accompanied by prior listing information. CONDITION: Obvious fire damage, pommel missing. Relic. 2,000 - 4,000

3090 - USMC MAJOR GENERAL EDWARD ALBERT OSTERMANN EPHEMERA GROUPING.
Edward Albert Ostermann was a Marine Corps major general who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the U.S. occupation of Haiti. Ostermann first enlisted in the United States Army in 1899 before he was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1907. He ultimately retired as a major general in 1943. He was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1917 for his actions during the capture of Fort Dipitie, Haiti, on October 24, 1915. He was part of a mounted Marine detachment sent out from Fort Liberté to reconnoiter towards Fort Dipitie. During a nighttime river crossing on October 24, approximately 400 Haitian rebels opened fire on the Marines while concealed in the bushes just outside of the fort. The Marines fought to a good position and maintained it throughout the night despite continuous fire. At dawn, three squads of Marines commanded by Ostermann, Captain William P. Upshur, and Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Daly advanced in three different directions, surprising and scattering the rebels. Upshur’s and Ostermann’s squads then captured the fort with a total of 13 Marines. The Fort Dipitie was demolished and the garrison was forced to flee. Per one account, “These men were in pitch darkness surrounded by ten times their number and fighting for their lives…had one squad failed, not one man of the party would have lived to tell the story…” Ostermann, Upshur, and Daly all received the Medal of Honor for that battle; Upshur would eventually achieve the rank of general, while Daly would receive a second Medal of Honor later. Later in the Haitian campaign, on November 11, 1915, Ostermann was wounded in action and returned to the United States for hospitalization. Lot includes a japanned tin desk box stenciled with Ostermann’s name and rank. Inside is a named copy of ‘Semper Fidelis , a Ballad of the U.S. Marines as well as a personalized leather billfold, a khaki letter binder, a personalized red leather correspondence folder, a charcoal sketch of Ostermann, and a large binder of personal effects and photos. Seldom are offered groups of any size to Medal of Honor Marines. CONDITION: Very good. 800 - 1,200

3092 - EXTREMELY RARE 1856 “THE CHARTER OAK: ITS HISTORY-ITS FALL” BOOKLET. (COLT HISTORY )
Published in 1856 by Arlow Collins. It is the history and fall of the Charter Oak as published in Hartford. The Charter Oak was a magnificent and huge white oak tree located in Wyllys Hill in Hartford, Connecticut. Experts dated its growth beginning around the 12th or 13th century but it ultimately fell during a storm in 1856. Samuel Colt was extremely fond of this Hartford landmark and had his Colt’s Armory Band played funeral death dirges when the tree fell. Colt used wood from this tree to make revolver grips for special clients and influential designers such as John P. Moore, a prolific New York arms dealer. Residing in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a Colt Model 1855 Pocket Percussion Revolver with grips carved from the wood of the fallen oak. This booklet is a tribute to this tree. There is an inscription written on inside cover in period fountain pen as follows “Chas Wyatt Family , His book, Bought in Hartford in Dec. 1857 by D.W. TAINTON sp. CHARLES TAINTON JAN. 5 1858”. This booklet was printed by Tiffany and Co. CONDITION: Fine. Both covers intact with no chipping or tears but shows some minor stains. All pages intact. 300 - 600

The hand written history on the discovery of these two firearms indicates that they were found in the basement of a boarding house in Reno around 1977, and that they were sold to one Mr. Alderdice who later sold them at auction in 1987. Apparently, they were held in leu of a room bill. The Winchester Model 92 is engraved “BUFFALO BILL WILD WEST” while the 1889 Marlin is engraved “PAWNEE BILL WILD WEST”. Both are engraved in the same basic font and both are on left side of receiver. Both of the stocks on these firearms are also stamped “JACK CASE SHOWS” on the left side. There is a copy of letterhead that states “JACK CASE RODEO ATTRACTIONS” along with handwritten letter and copy of a 1933 inventory of Pawnee Bill items sold at auction to include horses and two vehicles, one of which was purchased by Jack Case. The 1892 Winchester is a standard saddle ring carbine with the folding ladder rear sight, standard walnut stocks with metal carbine butt plate along with the saddle ring and stud. The Marlin 1889 rifle is also standard with the early crescent butt plate, full magazine, octagon barrel, knife blade front sight and buckhorn sporting rear sight. There is a letter on the Marlin stating that it was shipped on September 1, 1891 with standard 24” barrel in .32 caliber. CONDITION: Both guns do appear as if they were stored in a damp basement and both were heavily used retaining no original finish.

Blade Length: 18 - 3/4”

These bayonets are mostly associated with Turner organizations, which were German-American athletic clubs in the United States.

The bayonet also features a 5” heavy cast brass handle and a large cast slot on the handle which was used to connect the bayonet to the Turner rifle.

3362 - US MEXICAN WAR / CIVIL WAR ERA BASS DRUM MADE IN MAINE.
While side (snare) drums were part of the military “field music” and used regularly in the army at the company and battalion level, the much larger bass drum had a very different traditional usage. The bass drum was typically paired with cymbals and other instruments at the regimental level in a military band. This example dates to the Civil War period and exhibits a wood shell, one piece bent around and glued with reddish-brown varnish applied. Painting around the vent hole consisting of a faded floral design bordered by a row of large brass tacks on either side. Rope tension with leather tugs and calfskin heads. Wood rims painted red. Rope appears to be original as well as the paint and finish. Iron ink writing visible through the peep hole reads: “INCREASE BLAKE/DRUM MANUFACTURER/FARMINGTON FALLS/ME”. Blake was known to make drums through the 1840s in his small shop. Many of his drums were in use by the militia of the day and several were pressed in to service during the Civil War. As a result of the times and his being a small maker of drums, it makes sense to speculate that up to and including the Civil War, the units carrying his drums would be Maine units.

James Edward Jouett (February 7, 1826 – September 30, 1902) was an officer in the United States Navy during both the MexicanAmerican War and the American Civil War. His father was Matthew Harris Jouett, a notable painter, and his grandfather was Jack Jouett, a Revolutionary War hero. Born near Lexington, Kentucky, Jouett was appointed Midshipman on Sept 10, 1841. He served on the African coast on the Decatur and the John Adams during the Mexican War. At the beginning of the
Civil War, Jouett was captured by Confederates at Pensacola, Florida but was quickly paroled. He then joined the blockading forces off Galveston, Texas, distinguishing himself during the capture and destruction of Confederate schooner Royal Yacht over the night of November 7 and 8, 1861. Jouett later commanded Montgomery and R.R. Cuyler on blockading duty, and in September 1863 took command of Metacomet. At the Battle of Mobile Bay, his ship was lashed to Admiral David Farragut’s flagship Hartford as the gallant ships entered the bay. Jouett is directly referenced in Farragut’s famous command: “Damn the torpedoes! Four Bells! Captain Drayton go ahead! Jouett full speed!” Metacomet was sent after two Confederate gunboats, the Gaines and Selma. Jouett had various commands ashore and afloat after the Civil War, including command of the North Atlantic Squadron in 1884. In 1889, he commanded a naval force which forced the opening of the Isthmus of Panama. He retired in 1890 and lived for most of his remaining years at “The Anchorage,” near Sandy Springs, Maryland, and, on his passing, was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
