1049 - (A) WESTERN BUILT CUSTOM HEAVY BARREL SHARPS BUFFALO CONVERSION RIFLE WITH ML MOGG SCOPE. This is a sixteen and a half pound behemoth, Western gunsmith-built using a surplus Civil War-era Sharps carbine frame. The 1 1/4” .45 caliber 30” heavy octagon barrel exceeds the frame height. The frame has the Sharps legends on both sides. The tang has a repair/replacement back of large forward screw and there is no serial number. The barrel bears no maker marks, caliber stamps nor anything else. The saddle bar has been removed from left side of frame and stock and plugged. The rear sight slot has a filler but knife blade front sight remains. It is mounted with a period LM Mogg 34” tube scope with rear adjustment mount. Mogg was a contemporary of Wm. Malcolm who operated out of Marcellus New York during the 1870s. The forearm has a Sharps style schnauble forearm. The rear stock appears original and has numerous kill notches along top. The butt plate is original Sharps. Rifle is equipped with working double set triggers. CONDITION: Good. There is no original finish and gun is now a mix of dark gun metal grey mixing patina with scattered age freckling. The stock is solid, has a chip at left top frame and few chips on forearm with scattered dings and dents. Action works fine. The bore is well defined and clean. You can still see posts in scope but difficult to focus. The 1870s was the epitome of the Buffalo commercial annellation and this custom heavy barrel Buffalo Sharps was the rifle most associated with that period. This is a wonderful example of a period Western gunsmith built Sharps rifle that appears to have been there.

(Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000)

1050 - (A) 10TH CAVALRY MARKED COLT MODEL 1860 ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER WITH RIG. According to Charles Pate in his definitive tome entitled “The Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver” writes about this version extensively. The 10th cavalry received their first shipments of these Colts as early as 1867.

According to Pate’s records, a documented shipment of recently rebuilt and refinished Model 1860 Army revolvers were shipped to Company F, 10th cavalry on March 9th, 1869 to the commanding officer at Medicine Bluffs Indian Territory. In Pate’s book on page 235, there is a picture of a nearly identically marked revolver. These guns were refurbished at the Springfield Armory and all are mismatched and were refinished. as is this revolver. It is stamped F10 Ca. on right side of trigger guard as well as the right side of barrel and butt. Like nearly all known examples, the Colt barrel legend is only partially visible and the frame patent legend is not visible at all. There is no visible cylinder scene either. Many of the later shipped guns were converted to accept cartridges but this is an early all original percussion example. All other features are standard to include the brass trigger guard, steel backstrap cut for shoulder stock and one piece walnut grips. The very distinctive U.S. stamp is found on the base of trigger guard. This rare revolver comes with a Gaylord stamped flap holster, the belt that is stamped 10th Cav No. 28 and leather ammo pouch.

“The 10th Cavalry Regiment is a unit of the United States Army. Formed as a segregated African-American unit, the 10th Cavalry was one of the original “Buffalo Soldier” regiments in the post–Civil War Regular Army.

Company F of the 10th Cavalry distinguished themselves in the Indian Wars, particularly in the Battle of the Saline River in 1867.” CONDITION: Very good. The remaining finish is generally a homogeneous smooth cancer free patina with fine grips, a smooth action and a very well defined sharp bore with some residue. The holster is excellent with some usual chaffing and well marked. The belt is also well marked but there is a 1” tear near buckle. The pouch also exhibits some chaffing. This gun and its original rig are a very historical artifact dating to the early era of the Indian Wars.

(Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000)

CLAYTON MOORE’S COLT SINGLE ACTIONS AND MASK Provenance from the Estate of Producer Jack Wrather.

Production-used, these items were seen by millions and immortalized on film and television.

Do you remember the excitement of hearing the thrilling strains of the William Tell Overture with an announcer’s call to action with “Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear”? Yes, it was “a fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty, Hi Yo, Silver Away” shouted out on radio, television, and in the movies and it has meant one thing to generations of Americans—The Lone Ranger! From the radio Ranger voice of Brace Beemer and his personal appearances starting in 1943 to the on-screen voices of John Hart and Clayton Moore through the 1950s, the personification and symbolism of the character was to be found. The character of the Lone Ranger was also defined by the famous mask, white hat and form fitting costume along with the silver-mounted Bohin holster set. We all know that the Lone Ranger was a fictional character, much loved on radio and in television and movies.

This set of Colts and mask represent that character in an elegant and both real and symbolic manner. Perhaps it is overly sentimental to do so, but it is nice to refer back to the words of Jack Wrather when he wrote in a 1954 news release that “The Lone Ranger is a composite of every man who stands for law and order, always stresses the fact that the young people of America owe much to their ancestors. To pay this debt, they must maintain their heritage and pass it on to their own descendants.”

Out thanks to James H. Nottage, retired vice president and chief curatorial officer of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art; former vice president and chief curator of the Autry Museum of the American West; and noted Edward H. Bohlin and Bohlin Company historian and author. April 2018 for his notes.

We sold the San Gabriel model Edward H. Bohlin saddle from the series from the Wrather estate in Santa Fe June 23rd 2018 for $153,400 Jack Wrather (1918-1984) was a Texas native who graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 1939. In 1940, after a year of roughnecking in the Texas oil fields, Wrather rose through the wildcatting ranks to become the president of the family oil company. Awarded three combat stars during his subsequent tenure in the United States Marine Corps, Wrather carried this success and sense of service into what became a remarkably diverse and lucrative series of business enterprises. In addition to maintaining both an independent oil operation and the Wrather Petroleum Corporation, he ventured into the entertainment industry and founded Jack Wrather Pictures, Inc. Between 1946 and 1955, Mr. Wrather produced seven feature films for Warner Bros. and United Artists, among other studios. Under Mr. Wrather’s leadership, the Wrather Corporation developed the Disneyland Hotel, the Queen Mary and Howard Hughes Flying Boat ‘Spruce Goose’ complex in Long Beach, maintained its own oil and gas division, and ventured into radio and television programming. During the 1950’s, Mr. Wrather purchased “The Lone Ranger” television and radio property, as well as that of “Lassie” and “Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.” Mr. Wrather served on a range of boards with the University of Texas, the Hollywood Museum, the University of Southern California, the Arizona Heart Institute and Continental Airlines. He was appointed by President Nixon to the National Petroleum Council as well as the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Mr. Wrather was married to the actress Bonita Granville Wrather and had four children.

Clayton Moore (1914-1999) born Jack Carlton Moore, September, 14, 1914 – December 28, 1999) was an American actor best known for playing the fictional Western character the Lone Ranger from 1949 to 1952 and 1953 to 1957 on the television series of the same name and two related films from the same producers. Moore was replaced in the third season by John Hart, reportedly due to a contract dispute, but he returned for the final two seasons. Clayton Moore died on December 28, 1999, in a West Hills, California, hospital after suffering a heart attack at his home in nearby Calabasas.

In 1979, Wrather, who owned the Lone Ranger character, obtained a court order prohibiting Moore from making future appearances as The Lone Ranger.

John Lewis Hart (December 13, 1917 – September 20, 2009), also credited as John Hilton, was an American film and television actor. In his early career, Hart appeared mostly in westerns. He was probably best known for playing the character Hawkeye in the TV series Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans and replacing Clayton Moore in the television series The Lone Ranger for one season.

1051 - (C+A) A PAIR OF CLAYTON MOORE’S SCREEN USED LONE RANGER COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS Clayton’s original pair of Colt Single Actions used during the television series. The Lone Ranger and his sidekick Tonto roamed the West righting wrongs and helping the less fortunate.

Throughout his adventures, the Lone Ranger always carried nickel-plated Single Action Armies with cream-colored grips and numerous photographs clearly show the 5 1/2” barrels. This lot includes six of the Lone Ranger’s silver plated deactivated Remington UMC cartridges. Both Colts are re-nickel plated and feature toned white composition grips, 5 1/2” barrels in .45 caliber. Serial number 58918 was originally manufactured in 1880 and has the old style black powder frame. The original three line patent address is still visible on left side of frame. Barrel legend is no longer visible. The frame and trigger guard have matching numbers while butt number was reapplied.

CONDITION: Excellent retaining majority of reapplied nickel finish with some handling marks and muzzle flaking. The ejector housing screw has been replaced. Grips are shy to frame. Four correct clicks. Bore is well defined but shows abrasions. Serial 182982 was manufactured in 1899 and has the smokeless frame. The two line patent legend is still visible on left side of frame. The Colt barrel address is still quite legible. No visible caliber stamp on left side of barrel. CONDITION: Fine. Retains majority of the reapplied nickel but left side of barrel shows some age freckling and surface bubbling. Exhibits all four clicks. Bore is about same as the other. The black powder blanks were hard on rifling. These Colts were used on one of the most iconic television western series of the 20th century.

PROVENANCE: The Estate of Television Producer Jack Wrather

(Estimate: $25,000 - $35,000)

1052 - CLAYTON MOORE’S ORIGINAL “LONE RANGER” MASK Clayton Moore wore this black mask as the star of the television series The Lone Ranger. The cloth and plastic mask was molded to Moore’s face and was part of one of the most iconic costumes in the history of American television. There are variations of the mask with one residing in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian, one at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco, Texas and another which was kept for years by the Moore family which was a smaller example of the original. This one stands out because of the direct ties to the televisions series which ran on ABC from 1949 to 1957 and the story behind the Wrather involvement. We believe this is the most important and most iconic of the original masks.

3” x 10 3/4” Outer wool construction with a felt liner and tailored edges. Good condition, the mask shows its age with light staining and light rodent mastication.

PROVENANCE: The Estate of Television Producer Jack Wrather.

1053 - (A) JOHN HART’S “LONE RANGER” COLT SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER Documented antique Colt Single Action. John Hart is best remembered as Clayton Moore’s Lone Ranger replacement. Clayton left the role in 1952 and it was John Hart who replaced him for the next 52 episodes. Gun should be easy to spot if one has access to these Lone Ranger episodes. Hart also appeared on several other western themed television projects such as Rawhide, Bat Masterson as well as over 30 other television shows. There is a letter testifying that this old Colt was purchased off set from some old cowboy by Hart but does not state that he used it in that role, just that it was used in several westerns. The factory letter states that this gun was originally shipped on July 31, 1897 as a 5 1/2, 45 caliber blue gun with rubber grips that was sent to Salem G. LeValley of Buffalo. This antique single action features the one line barrel address and the two line Colt barrel address. The grips have been switched at one time with bone. Serial numbers are matching. This is a transition gun in that it wears the smokeless frame with side pin. Finish was blue and case color. CONDITION: Very good. Basically a clean gun metal grey with dulling blue on cylinder. Grips are a bit shy at toe and heel. Cylinder indexes with proper half cock for loading. Bore is well defined but has some abrasion and frosting. All legends are sharp. Great old Hollywood documented Colt. Gun is accompanied by numerous documents and letters.

(Estimate: $6,000 - $10,000)

1054 - (A) DOCUMENTED JOHN HART (LONE RANGER) SCREEN USED RICHARDS SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN This shotgun comes with a certificate from Mick LeFever, Hart’s agent, stating that this was his personal gun used on set and possibly by him as the Lone Ranger, in Rawhide or one of his many old western movies. Hart is best remembered as the man who replaced Clayton Moore in 1952 where as he starred as the Lone Ranger in the television series for 52 episodes. The gun is a period shortened stage coach double barrel with exposed hammers as made by Richards (not Westley). Features under lever release, back lock actions, double triggers, Damascus twist barrels and a checkered walnut stock with steel butt plate. CONDITION: Good. All metal is a brown patina with scattered handling marks and freckling and a replaced frame pin. Stock has numerous dings, some burn out at firing pins but proud to metal and fairly tight lock up. Hammers are working. Bores are fairly clean. Cool old Hollywood western used stage coach gun. Lot also comes with a 1979 dated John Hart personal check.

1124 - CUSTOM AMHAD KAHN GOLD AND DIAMOND LONGHORN BELT BUCKLE Custom made for the renowned Miami Beach Judge and passionate Bohlin collector, Howie Gross, this stunning, solid 14K four-color gold buckle features a raised and highly detailed Texas longhorn just below his “HG” initials inset with diamonds, and embellished with a stylized scroll pattern border and raised Bohlin style spots on the outer perimeters. Verso is also engraved and bears the maker-mark of Bohlin disciple and master engraver in his own right, Ahmad Khan, Hollywood, Calif. Outstanding condition. 3” x 4” Upon his arrival to America, Ahmad Khan inquired about the great tradition and craftsmanship with the Bohlin Shop in Hollywood, California. He had learned of the Bohlin shop being the most exclusive and one of the largest silver shops in America, with a notable list of patrons. Mr. Bohlin was a legend in Hollywood who literally carved the way for the craftsman tradition. As protege to the famous Master Silversmith Bud Phillips, Ahmad reached popularity with Hollywood celebrities between 1981 and 1987.

He created masterpieces of wearable art for such distinguished patrons as Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Clayton “Lone Ranger” Moore, Montie Montana, Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Larry Hagman and even President Reagan. This list goes on to include other famous actors, politicians, musicians and cowboys. Ahmad is quick to share that President Reagan proudly wore his 4-piece, 3-color, 5-A, 18K gold and sterling silver buckle set during his presidency which was given to him as a gift by country singer Lee Greenwood. He was so impressed by the buckle that President Reagan personally called back to highly compliment the designer and craftsman of the piece. His first Hollywood break came when he was hired by the highly respected Bud Phillips at Bohlin Company to work on the project to make a replica of the famous Tom Mix spurs for actor/stuntman Dean Smith. The original spurs were hand crafted by Mr. Bohlin himself, but when he passed away in 1980, Bud Phillips searched for a Master Silversmith who had the ability to carry out the Bohlin tradition. He took Ahmad under his wings and fully trained him for making western wearable art. “I always admire seeing a young Master at work,” Bud Phillips declared as he quietly observed the young master Ahmad at his workstation. Bud Phillips himself started in the early 1930s working for Hollywood legend Gene Autry, and worked with the Bohlin Company for over 44 years. From his home in Santa Barbara, Charles Sample, a fourth generation Silver and Goldsmith who is also considered to be one of the original Bohlin legends, likewise praises and respects the craftsmanship of Ahmad’s work. When Mr. Sample once asked Ahmad about the passion and integrity he pours into his work, Ahmad simply responds, “It is an American Dream what I do, to glorify the American cowboy.” It is no wonder that Ahmad’s artistic qualities have earned him the title of the “Michelangelo of Silver and Gold” for his museum quality and perfection.

THE MCINTYRE AUGUST BUERMANN COLLECTION

We are thrilled to be offering the amazing collection of August Buermann spurs and other special AB items painstakingly put together by Montana collectors Netty and Ted McIntyre.

The collection will be sold over our next 3 sales and includes some of the rarest patterns known, most in phenomenal condition. It has taken them years, lots of miles and that special connection with others to put together this great grouping of spurs.

Born in Germany in 1842, August Buermann eventually moved to the US and enlisted in time for the Civil War. After the war ended in 1865 he began working for a saddle manufacturing company in Newark, New Jersey. Within a couple years he had already bought out his employer and renamed it Buermann Manufacturing Co. Besides being one of the earliest American spur makers, Buermann went on to become the largest. Buermann Manufacturing eventually employed more than 100 people in various locations throughout the US – especially in the West to keep pulse of new styles and demands. They had a catalogue of 440 types of spurs and nearly 500 bit designs that adorned the American cowboy. Though his company was known for being the first to mass produce bits and spurs, he also maintained a couple lines of hand crafted items for customers that demanded the very best. Buermann handed over the company to his son in 1896 and it eventually sold to their longtime competitor, North & Judd, in 1926.

1154 - KARL’S PARADE SADDLE WITH DON ELLIS STERLING SILVER & GOLD Impressive and dazzling brown floral carved parade saddle made by Karl’s of Seattle, a saddlery owned in the late 1940s by Karl L. Raab working in conjunction with the renowned Washington State silversmith, Don Ellis (1913-1969) who is often referred to as the “Ed Bohlin of the Pacific Northwest”.

Seat maker-marked “56 / Karl’s / Seattle and back of the cantle “J.E. Quigley”. Karl’s stamped their saddles with the serial number “56” so we would date this saddle from the early 1950s. Saddle and Tapaderos lavishly and artistically adored with heavy gauge diamond and half-diamond conchos with occasional gold florettes set atop. Silvered swells, cantle, gullet and horn cap and two-tone braided leather strings. Bridle attached to silver ferruled reins with gold longhorn on the slide replicating the overall diamond pattern except for the after market cast face-drop. Regal oversized matching Breast Collar adorned with standing gold horse on the front plate. Brown and white wool Corona pad is included. 14 3/4” seat, 2 1/2” cantle.

Don Ellis grew-up in Seattle where he was a self-taught silversmith and engraver. During his younger years as a rodeo rider, Don created his first rodeo trophy buckle for Ellensburg, Washington rodeo events. By the 1940s he was making silver saddles as well as gold and silver buckles. In the early 1950s Don created the lavish gold and silver presentation buckles for the Rodeo Cowboy Association and completed his crowning achievement, the Wes Williams’ saddle that is on display at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. This saddle is embellished with over 50 pounds of sterling silver, gold figures and a gold and silver horsehead saddle horn. Don is often referred to as the “Ed Bohlin of the Pacific Northwest” when, in fact, his exquisite style of engraving met or even exceeded the best that the famed Hollywood Saddle Maker to the Stars had to offer.

Collins carried a large variety of saddles and horse gear mustering an effective advertising program to promote both themselves and their stores.

She lists this gun by serial number relating that her father Robert Willita, her mother and herself were guests of Mr. Germark who was the Superintendent of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation along with his assistant, Miss Lou Bondi in 1927 when President Calvin Coolidge was also visiting. His famous visit and speech occurred in August of that year. She further states that her mother and Miss Bondi were old school chums. It was during the visit that Mr. Germark presented this Remington Model 1875 to her father where he stated this was an Indian Police gun and had been displayed at the museum in Wounded Knee. It is well documented that the Indian Police were issued nickel Remington 1875’s. The battle of Wounded Knee needs no history lesson here. Pine Ridge was located in South Dakota having been in the territory of the Great Sioux reservation, created on March 2, 1889. Many famous Indian Chiefs resided at Pine Ridge during this era to include Oglala Lakota leaders Red Cloud and Crazy Horse.

This revolver is fairly standard, type 2 with the .44 (caliber) stamp on left side of frame having been stamped on the grips for early models along with the knife blade front sight, not cone.

1260 - (A) COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER ATTRIBUTED TO WEBB COUNTY TEXAS SHERIFF. The accompanying Sheriff’s badge is inscribed A. Sanchez Webb County Texas, in which Laredo is located. This booming southern Texas town on the Mexican border swelled from 5200 residents in 1881 to over 22,000 by 1900. Amador Sanchez was a Webb County sheriff from the late 19th century and into the early decade of the 20th century. One well known incident involving Amador occurred in 1913 and was reported in the El Progresso newspaper in which Sanchez challenged a defamatory article by shooting the writer of the paper, Manuel Vigil, while accompanied by his deputy. This Colt was manufactured in 1893. The barrel is stamped COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER, is finished in standard blue and case color with two piece ivory grips. All serial numbers are matching. The barrel has the Colt legend with two line patent date on left side of frame. The revolver is accompanied by a scare Newton & Andrews of El Paso Texas (1895-1906) holster. It is a double loop, full skirt and border tooled with large maker stamp in center. This lot also includes the original Texas eagle topped sheriffs badge with central Texas star once worn by Sanchez and a modern plaque that once resided in a museum display. CONDITION: Very good. The barrel still retains a dull blueish hue with all legible barrel legends with some bright blue at base of barrel.

The cylinder is patina with some blue in the flutes. Frame colors are patina and there are flashes of blue on trigger guard and back strap. There is some overall age freckling. The grips are well aged with great color and fit fairly well with little shrinkage. The action works correctly with strong half cock. The bore is well defined and sharp with minor residue. The holster is solid with a fairly strong maker stamp but showing some usual chaffing. A great early gun and holster with Texas attribution.

(Estimate: $6,500 - $8,500)

1261 - (A) WELLS FARGO & CO. EXPRESS MARKED SMITH & WESSON NO. 3 SCHOFIELD SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. This is a first model that was originally intended for the US Government with 3035 made in 1875. When no longer of military use, The Wells Fargo company purchased several hundred for their riders where as they were rebuilt, refinished and barrel shortened to 5” with a Wells Fargo single line stamp which matched the serial number that was applied to right side of barrel. Most were nickel plated which this example is not. This is the pre 1898 version stamp that reads W. F. & CO’S, 592 which matches the butt serial number. The cylinder on this revolver is stamped 666 with L inspector stamp, obviously mis matched when rework and refinish was performed. There is no longer any sign of a US on butt as it was probably removed when altered or was a non military revolver and the grips have no visible cartouche but ARE is carved on left panel. The Wells Fargo stamp is consistent with known examples and is over the Smith & Wesson legends on right with standard legends on left. CONDITION: Very good. The finish is a clean gun metal grey and homogenous patina. All legends are crisp. No cancer. Smooth crisp action. Very good grips. Very clean bore. One of the more historically significant documented western used handguns.

PROVENANCE: EX Buddy King, Canadian, Texas Collection Interesting story from the “Anniston Star, Anniston, Alabama: July 15, 1949, in The Star: For nearly a decade cowboys in Texas have complimented the style and utility of a particular brand of saddle made right here in Oxford, at a plant on McPherson Street. But today the equipment and buildings of the Russell Saddle Company lie in scorched ruins. During the course of a four-hour blaze that broke out early this morning, exploding drums of oil severely hampered firefighting operations by more than 100 volunteers of the Oxford Fire Department and a fire company from Anniston. Yet J. Ralph “Doc” Russell, founder and owner of the saddle firm, says he’ll rebuild and resume production as quickly as he can. Russell’s home adjoined the factory, which employed about 30, and its contents were ruined, too. Some of Russell’s special-order saddles cost as much as $2,500.

The Phantom of the West is a 1931 American pre-Code Western film serial.

One of coolest early cinema posters to have surfaced - “Barnsdale Presents Life Behind The Bars ” - 1903 Stone litho half sheet poster.

(Estimate: $400 - $800)

Walter Barnsdale entered into the moving picture business in 1903. Barnsdale was one of the early pioneers of the motion picture industry; he not only produced his own films but also created and patented his own mechanical devices to exhibit them. His contribution was critical to the advancement of the motion picture. A contemporary of Thomas Edison, Siegmund Lubin, and the Lumiere brothers, Barnsdale’s Electric Moving Picture Co. placed the emphasis on “Electric”, as much like the word “digital” is today, electricity was the new technology at the time, and just the use of the word “electric” was a big selling point to the public. Barnsdale exhibited his own films, as well as feature attractions, such as Buffalo Bill’s Life of Buffalo Bill .

NOTES:

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

TERMS OF SALE

TIMING

LIMITED GUARANTEE

FIREARMS – All firearms transfers will be in strict accordance with all International, Federal, State and local laws. Be sure to check your country, state and local laws before bidding. If you are unable to import, purchase or own a firearm according to your residency laws, do not bid on these items. If you bid and find out later you cannot legally own/accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract that the buyer must pay.

When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether you read or understand said terms. The Terms in writing contained herein are subject to change without notice and bidder agrees that the most recently published Terms of Sale as published or amended on the website at the beginning of the auction shall apply.

MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. The descriptions carry a limited guarantee.

It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions or major fabrications not disclosed in the description. Examples of what we do not guarantee against, imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections, undisclosed blemishes, finish differences, wood-to-metal fit issues, surface cracks or chips in wood, dings and dents, bore condition, and other similar differences that are inherent in the antiques and collectible industry. All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. It is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine by inspection by themselves or a hired professional the exact condition of each item prior to bidding on the item. Should MORPHY’S deny an authenticity issue dispute of the buyer, and the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the written opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed item. The final decision of those experts will determine any refund consideration.

This limited guarantee is only available to the buyer of record.

Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms.

Except as stated in the limited guarantee above, MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation, expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to initiate contact with MORPHY’S in request for additional information regarding the items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. We will do our best but cannot promise that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the buyer acquires any reproduction rights in the property. All items will be available for preview approximately one (1) month prior to the auction.

There will be no options for refunds of any type beyond 35 calendar days from the auction date. Paying late and thus receiving items late will not change the limitation on the dates above for refund consideration. Please also refer to POST SALE RETURN POLICY at end of terms.

• If you are appealing a “Denied” decision, we will hold the firearm only if you pay in full.

• Shipping o Any firearms being shipped are legally required to be shipped to a BATF licensed FFL dealer within your state of residence for transfer and pickup. For states that allow shipment of C& R firearms to the C&R license holder, MORPHY’s reserves the right to ship those C&R firearms to the address listed on C&R license. You will be responsible for all shipping and transfer costs incurred. o Modern handguns are required to be shipped via UPS 2-Day Air. o Modern long guns are shipped via UPS ground to the FFL dealer. o Upon receipt of the invoice, buyer is to confirm the FFL validity and ship to address on the invoice.

MORPHY’S will not cancel the sale due to BATF disapproval for any reason.

• Long guns will only be sold to persons 18 years of age, or older.

Handguns will only be sold to those persons 21 years of age, or older. Dealers are bound by these minimum age requirements.

• Since all firearms sold are “collectible” items, MORPHY’S does not test the safety or warrant functionality of these firearms. All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to shooting.

• MORPHY’S reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer.

GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey.

Prospective buyers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species.

Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions.

It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation.

MORPHY’S is not able to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained.

The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence.

MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed.

We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding.

AGENT BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept bids from an individual agent authorized by a company or another individual. MORPHY’s requires any agent to provide a signed letter of authorization from the buyer of record company or individual allowing the agent to bid on their behalf.

• ABSENTEE BIDDING - - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids submitted

via telephone call, in person, mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form (available online) and clearly mark the lot number, title, and maximum bid amount. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. Bidders may preview, register, and place bids online through our website, www.morphyauctions. com. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the MORPHY’S absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated.

• ONLINE BIDDING - - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions.com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. A surcharge will be added for third party online platforms. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium. If there is a tie bid between the online bid and a floor bid, the floor bid takes precedence. Due to our fast-paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, online bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. Online bidders are fully responsible for accidental bidding as if they bid normally.

• BID RESULTS – Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from MORPHY’S. MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, shipping, handling, insurance, taxes, and any other charges that apply. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If you wish to pay by another method, please contact us within 48 hours after the sale.

• TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 877-968-8880 to register for a telephone bid.

BID INCREMENTS

Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 50% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$200 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion

RESERVES

Most of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate.

In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

A 20% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase cost. A 3% merchant fee is also automatically applied to all invoices but can be discounted upon payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer that is received within 7 days from the receipt of the invoice. If the type of payment is split, invoice will reflect the 3% charge for merchant fees on the entire invoice. In addition, a surcharge will be added for certain third-party online bidding platforms the bidder utilizes. Refer to your bidding platform of choice for the final buyer’s premium.

SALES TAX

MORPHY’S is required by law to collect sales tax where our company has nexus. Sales tax rate will be charged by law on behalf of the state and locality where the customer of record takes possession of their purchase. Lots are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless the required form and copy of permit are on file with MORPHY’S. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know the sales tax rate applicable. As a convenience and without any guarantee, you may use this website, https://www.taxjar.com/salestax-calculator, as a resource to calculate your applicable sales tax rate. Bidder agrees to pay MORPHY’S the actual amount of tax due if sales tax is not properly collected due to 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form and certificate must be on file at and verified by MORPHY’S five days prior to the auction, or the tax must be paid. If the required form and certificate is received

by MORPHY’S within 4 days of the conclusion of the auction, you qualify for a refund for the tax paid. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

PAYMENT, INTEREST & STORAGE FEES

Any invoice totaling more than $100,000 must be paid within three (3) days. All other merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. Payments can be made by going to your account online at www.morphyauctions. com, call 877-968-8880 or mail payment to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC 2000 N Reading Rd, Denver, PA 17517. Invoices and any outstanding amount due may and will be auto charged to the credit card on file within 48 hours of the invoice being sent.

BIDDER TERMS & CONDITIONS paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 30 days from the invoice date. All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 45 days after the invoice date, shall be subject to a monthly storage fee as follows: $50/month per regular sized item or $100/ month per oversized item. Buyer authorizes MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer.

• SNEAKERS, JEWELRY, WATCHES, COIN AND CURRENCY ITEMS OR ANY INVOICES MORPHY’S DEEMS AT RISK OF CREDIT CARD FRAUD – We accept cash, wire transfer, check, certified

checks and money orders only. No credit cards will be accepted for invoices containing these items.

• CREDIT CARD –We will not accept credit card payment for any jewelry, watch, coin or currency purchases or on any purchases that Morphy’s deems to be at risk for fraud. If a credit card is used as any form of total payment, invoice will reflect a 3% surcharge on the entire invoice. This charge is automatically added but will be discounted if payment is received by cash, check, money order or wire transfer. MORPHY’s reserves the right to refuse to ship to a different address than the billing address on the credit card being used.

• CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. Make checks payable to: Dan Morphy Auctions LLC. MORPHY’S reserves the right to hold items paid for by personal or company check until said check clears (14 days). MORPHY’S has the right to hold all checks over $2,000. Customers who have an established successful buying history with MORPHY’S may be exempt from this requirement. We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 from a first time buyer if you provide a Bank Letter of Credit, available on our website, www.morphyauctions.com.

• WIRE TRANSFERS – There will be a $30 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000. Please add this amount to your invoice total before sending a wire transfer.

In the few situations where a successful bidder does not remit payment when due, MORPHY’S will proceed with the legal steps necessary to protect its interests and will block the bidder from future auction participation.

PACKING/SHIPPING

• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping, handling, and insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items.

• BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must

be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

• ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship. We recommend you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper. MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk,

•

responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

SHIPPING TERMS - MORPHY’S will ship items to the buyer at the listed address via UPS or other carriers, FOB, Denver, Pennsylvania, or FOB other auction locations. Any risk of loss or damage to the item(s) during transit via UPS, or any other carrier is at the risk of the buyer. Any additional insurance coverage should be purchased by the buyer through the carrier. Buyer releases MORPHY’s from all claims for loss or damage to any item during transit and agrees to pay all costs of defense, including attorney’s fees, for any claims brought against MORPHY’S for loss or damage occurring during transit. MORPHY’s is not responsible for mis-delivery or theft of packages.

INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added to invoices for shipment to the United States and Canada locations. Insurance may be waived by providing MORPHY’s a signed insurance waiver. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S welcomes our international customers. MOPRHY’S can provide upon request a complete process and set of recommended company contacts with whom the Buyer can work to understand the steps, timing, and cost to acquire items at auction. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property and for paying all shipping costs, customs and duties on the items. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost.

3RD PARTY SHIPPING of OVERSIZE ITEMS – Buyers will need to either pick up the items personally or arrange a 3rd party shipping service for oversize items. As a general guideline, the following will indicate which packages apply, as they are of a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases.

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items

based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon.

Other examples of fragile items include glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases, high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind.

• For any buyers who wish to arrange for their own shipping, MORPHY’S must be notified at least seven (7) days prior to arrival of the shipping company name, arrival date and time. Pickup must be scheduled to begin and end within our normal business hours (9am – 4pm weekdays).

• STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a monthly storage fee of $50/ month per regular sized item or $100/month per oversized item for any items on MORPHY’s location for more than 45 days. Buyer authorizes the MORPHY’s to sell, at their standard commission and consignment contract terms, any goods not retrieved after a 90-day period in any manner deemed appropriate by MORPHY’s and the proceeds will be applied to any outstanding balance due from the buyer.

Any buyer who has made their payment within the due date of 7 calendar days who wishes to report a problem must notify MORPHY’S within three calendar (3) days of receipt of their purchased item. Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Please refer to MORPHY’S limited guarantee herein. A Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be issued by MORPHY’S before you ship anything back to our address. Item must be returned in the same condition. Any items arriving without a return authorization will not be given a refund. The item in question must be shipped with the RA# on the outside and inside of the package, with full insurance, so it arrives at MORPHY’S within one week of the aforementioned authorization.
