The Collection of David Grunberg Dave Grunberg of Vernon, Connecticut, is a collector whose path began as a child, although he did not acquire his first Colt until many years later.

Growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Grunberg engaged in the usual activities of children the world over. One day, while playing outside, he found what appeared to be an expensive fountain pen lying on the ground. The police officer who was asked to help return the pen to its owner rewarded the young Grunberg by offering to let him hold his Colt .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The young Spanish speaking boy had trouble deciphering the inscription on the top of the gun, but he never forgot the heft of the heavy weapon. Years later, after his family had emigrated to the United States, Grunberg served in the United States Army. “They issued me a Colt .45. It was like déjà vu, here I am. So I carried this thing for about four years and, upon my discharge, I read in a flyer about a Colt for sale,” he called. After buying the inexpensive gun, Grunberg learned that is had been made in Italy and was not a bona fide Colt at all. “Then I started getting serious about owning some real Colt firearm,” he said. “My affinity was always towards the single actions or cowboy guns. I watched the black and white serials every weekend and you always wanted to emulate them, whether it was Roy Rogers or Hopalong Cassidy. My hero was Randolph Scott.” Living near Hartford, Connecticut, the long-time center of Colt Manufacturing, Grunberg found it easy to meet collectors and Colt factory employees who guided him as he refined his interest in second and third generation engraved firearms, his passion today.

The Collection of Gary Schlosstein Gary Schlosstein is a lifelong collector and the founder of Castlerock Museum. He was born on January 11, 1928, and grew up in Cochrane, Wisconsin. He later joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Europe during the closing months of World War II. After the war, Gary got his law degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He became district attorney for Buffalo County, Wisconsin and later the county judge, serving for thirty-two years as the circuit court trial judge and thirty-two years as a reserve judge. Gary started collecting when he was ten years old and bought a Civil War musket at a secondhand store in Winona, Minnesota for three dollars. This ignited a lifelong passion for collecting historical memorabilia that continues to this day. As his collection grew, Gary decided to start up the nonprofit Castlerock Museum which has open public hours, private tours for groups and schools, and a variety of programs throughout the year. The museum is nestled along the bluffs of the Mississippi River in a building that looks like a castle. Located in Alma, Wisconsin, it houses a unique collection of ancient and medieval arms and armor and early American artifacts including over a hundred period firearms. The profits from the sale of these artifacts from Gary’s collection will go to support Castlerock Museum.

1004 - (N) HIGHLY DESIRABLE WW2 GERMAN MP43 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Germany WWII Model: MP-43 Serial No. 5254M Caliber/Bore: 7.92x33mm Kurz Barrel Length: 16 - 1/4” FFL Status: NFA 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; Barrel number does not match but only discernable when gun is disassembled. One original MP-43 magazine is included with this lot as well as takedown tool and loading clip in the buttstock trap. Barrel, op-rod, and wood buttstock were manufactured by C.G. Haenel (fxo). It was common practice for different firms to supply parts to the manufacturer who would complete final assembly. 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. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp. These guns are tremendously fun to shoot at the range, and this is an exceedingly attractive specimen. 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 2026-05-108. 25,000 - 30,000

1005 - (N) UTTERLY FANTASTIC CONDITION WWII GERMAN NAZI PROOFED WAFFENWERKE BRUNN ZB-26 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Waffenwurk Brunn Model: ZB 26 Serial No. 1347 Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Mauser Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: NFA This is a fantastic specimen of one of the best light-to-medium machine guns of WW2. Discerning collectors will agree that the Czechs at their BRNO factory were developing and manufacturing firearms to the highest quality standards of fit and finish prior to the start of World War II. The ZB-26 machine gun was one of these. When Germany took over Czechoslovakia starting in 1939, they took control of the arms factories, and all of the arms in the process of production, completed arms awaiting completion of contract for shipment to buyers, and the arms of the Czech military forces. Germany needed weapons, and absorbed what they needed at will, including ZB-26 machine guns. A significant number of these went to SS units, rail police, and others who were not yet able to procure weapons through German Army channels. Germany designated the BRNO arms manufacturing facility as “WAFFENWERKE BRUNN A.G.”, assigned WaA 63 as their inspection proof code, and production of weapons continued under German occupation. Guns that were in various stages of completion were finished, including some which had already been partially marked. This, and the fact that Czech army guns were taken into German service, accounts for the variety of markings, proof marks, and sometimes renumbering of barrels on ZB-26 machine guns. This specimen offered here is marked as manufactured by “WAFFENWERKE BRUNN A.G.” on the left side of the receiver, and “ZB 26 No 1347” on right side of receiver. Eagle over “WAA 63” proof marks are on other parts of this weapon as well as eagle over Swastika firing proof. Visible SNs match to include the Nazi proofed barrel which has a struck-through no. “33641-42”. Gas cylinder is also marked “1347”. The crest on the top of the receiver, original Czech circle “Z” markings together with the Nazi markings found on this weapon tell a story of this gun’s history. One original 20 round magazine is included with this gun. Electronic NFA registry indicates, “WAFFENWERKE BRUNN” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Near excellent deep lustrous blue finish on metal surfaces with very light handling marks in places. Gas cylinder is the appropriate grey finish. Trigger and barrel release latch are an attractive plum color. Bolt and piston appropriately in the white and very clean. There are a couple of very light scratches to the finish on the receiver and some loss of finish where the charging handle rides in its slot. Wood carrying handle has a couple of bruises and a 3/8” chip at the 7 o’clock position when viewed from the rear which is not immediately noticeable. Balance of wood stock and hand grip have a few dings and light handling marks with a 1/4” bruise on the pistol grip bottom right side. The finish of the barrel cooling rings is absolutely stunning. Remnants of preservative grease in the action. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. This is a select-fire machine gun. This cataloger has personally known where this gun has been, and the previous two owners spanning many decades into the past. Of all the specimens of this model this cataloger has personally observed over the years, this one stands out as being the finest. Its Nazi proofs only add to its desirability in the American collector’s market. It is hard to imagine a finer specimen will ever surface for private ownership in the United States. 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 2025-12-202. 40,000 - 80,000

1006 - (N) TREMENDOUS BRASS IMPERIAL RUSSIAN MAXIM MODEL 1905 ON GERMAN MG-08 SIDEPLATE WITH EARLY “LEGGED” SOKOLOV MOUNT (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Russia Model: Maxim Serial No. 30476 Caliber/Bore: 7.92mm Mauser Barrel Length: 28 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA Among the rarest, most sought after, and most attractive of the many variations of the Maxim machine guns are the early guns manufactured with brass jackets. These guns exemplify the highest order of pride and quality of hand-fitted machine guns from the late 19th and early 20th Century. Very soon, in an ever-progressing effort to lighten machine guns in order to make them more portable, the use of brass parts gave way to steel. The older brass guns remained in service for a time, but inevitably, especially during the World War II, these brass guns were scrapped as obsolete, as brass was in high demand. This is an early Russian Model 1905 Maxim. A rare gun among rare guns. One can immediately note the scalloped surfaces at the rear of the water jacket as a telltale different from the later 1910 model. This specimen retains an original albeit non-matching brass fusee cover (SN #2812). This cover bears the Russian imperial eagle and is dated 1910. The brass feedblock with wooden roller is numbered “156”. The brass backplate handles are numbered “102”, and the water jacket “H 8840”. The top cover exhibits no number, but one can see it came from another early gun as it as a slot in the top for the earlier tall sight to fit into when it was folded forward. These tall sights were replaced or shortened to accommodate the use of improved ammunition as it was fielded. There is a steel muzzle cover with retention chain at the forward end on the jacket. The lower retention pin at the backplate is of the later style “T” handle type which also serves as a broken case extractor. The lock and barrel are unnumbered and of later vintage as are the recoil plates, crosshead, and charging handle. Included with this lot is a highly sought Sokolov mount with articulating legs which fold down to raise the profile of this gun. A very handy feature for the recreational machine gun shooter. The even rarer steel wheel for the rear of this mount is also included as well as a unmarked steel ammo can with leather carrying handle and a steel Russian belt. The registration number is visible on both the right and left sideplates. Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine with both sideplates thinning to a gray patina particularly closer to the water jacket. Top cover and charging handle also thinning to a smooth gray patina. Very handsome brass parts exhibit a dull patina, with a mottling of spots and some nicks. Muzzle is in very clean condition. Bore is extremely fine to near excellent, shiny and bright. Lock face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp. Mount retains a high percentage of its green painted finish. This Maxim is rare among the rare. No early Maxim collection will be complete without a brass Russian Maxim. Before the outbreak of World War I, the Russians already had far more Maxims than any other country at that time. Very few remain, and even fewer are in the United States. 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 2026-05-22. 30,000 - 40,000

1007 - (N) HIGH ORIGINAL CONDITION COLT 1921AC THOMPSON MACHINE GUN WITH PROVENANCE (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1921 Serial No. 3380 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 10 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA

Extremely high condition specimen of a Colt 1921AC Thompson This gun is documented by Auto-Ordnance letter as having been shipped to Polk County (Sheriff’s Office), Des Moines, Iowa, on September 25th, 1933. This is the same Sheriff’s Office which clashed with the Barrow gang earlier that year and mortally wounded “Buck” Barrow at that time. Other provenance includes a copy of the original 1934 registration to “Polk County” in September 1934 and then Form 1 dated .Sept 1942 registering this gun to, “L.A. Thornton” as a member of the Department at that time. Additional chain of ownership shows the sale and transfer of this gun to Law Enforcement Ordnance Company in 1977, and subsequently to “John Williamson aka “John Newton Wilkinson” (according to registration form) in October 1977. There is also a receipt showing this gun was purchased in 2003 by the person who subsequently sold this gun to the current consignor. Extremely desirable accessories included with this gun are an original felt lined trunk case, with original key. One matte finish 3rd model (1920s patent dates) 50-round drum, four original 20-round “1920”patent dates magazines, vintage brass cleaning rod, extremely rare and sought after original tin box tool/cleaning kit with contents, and very rare original factory promotional booklet, 1940 handbook of the Thompson machine gun, original Auto-Ordnance, “Gun of Law and Order” booklet for police, “The Thompson Machine Gun Made Easy”, and, “The American Gunsmithing Institute, Thompson Machine Gun” book. This gun retains its original 1921 internal parts and correctly marked original buttstock. Typical markings on receiver with visible serial numbers matching. “JHB” inspection

mark very clear on right side of receiver with crisp clear lettering and sharp edges throughout. Electronic NFA registry indicates “THOMPSON” in the manufacturer’s block. PROVENANCE: Paperwork as stated above. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent deep lustrous blue original finish with very slight loss of finish at the forward edge of the charging handle slot, at the high edges, and at the stock attachment points. There are some very light handling marks to the wood furnishings. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright with near excellent bolt face. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. Original case is extremely fine with typical wear at corners and handle, with inside lining extremely fine. Tin tool kit box extremely fine, emplaced in case with very fragile original leather straps. So fragile this cataloger declined to remove snap to open and examine contents, although the contents were observed at a past Thompson Collector’s Association meeting. This is among the finest condition model 1921AC guns this cataloger has seen and considering the very rare accessories included, this is among the most desirable Thompson lots Morphy’s has ever offered. If an advanced collector wants one of the best possible specimens, with hard to fine accessories, this is the gun that they have been looking for. 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 & RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2026-05-008. 60,000 - 100,000

1008 - (N) OUTSTANDING HIGH CONDITION COLT THOMPSON 1921/28 NAVY OVERSTAMP MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Thompson Model: 1928 Serial No. 6014 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 10” FFL Status: NFA

Colt 1921/28 Navy Thompson with Cutts compensator and “U.S. Navy” marking above model marking on left side of receiver as well as “8” overstamp. “JHB” inspection mark clearly visible on right side of receiver as well as a slightly darker area of finish forward of the manufacturer’s address. Beautiful and clean Cutts compensator. Gun retains 1928 internal parts. Buttstock retains visible cartouche at leading edge. Accessories include one original matte finish 3rd model (1920s patent dates), 50 round drum magazine, ten 30-round stick magazines (two new in wrapper), two tan “Mills” marked 50 round drum carriers with straps, one “RM 1942” marked 50-round drum carrier with strap, two un-marked 50 round drum carriers, two “USMC 1944 R.M. CO.” marked 3-cell 30-round magazine pouches, and a Kerr sling. Although many Thompson machine guns were produced, especially during WWII, it is the Colt Thompson which is the most iconic of all American machine guns, and the ones with the Cutts compensator and vertical foregrip such are this one have the most recognized silhouette. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “THOMPSON” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent deep lustrous finish with some light handing marks and slight scratches at some high edges and where the safety rotates. Also some slight loss of finish at the charging handle slot.

1039 - (N) LAFRANCE REMANUFACTURED ERMA MP-38 REGISTERED AS MP-40L MACHINE GUN EQUIPPED TO FIRE BLANKS (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). Manufacturer: Lafrance Specialties Model: MP40L Serial No. 9769A Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 10” FFL Status: NFA Remanufactured and registered by Tim La France as an MP-40L, this gun is made up of original EMRA manufactured MP-38 parts. The receiver tube visible forward of the magazine housing is La France manufactured and is marked “LA FRANCE SPECIALTIES / SAN DIEGO, CA U.S.A./ MP-40L 9MMP BLANK” over the registered serial number. This registered serial number matches many of the parts of this gun including the barrel, lower assembly, shoulder frame, magazine housing, grip frame and grips. The bolt has been forced matched and is of the MP-40 type with sliding bolt lock. Erma “27” and “280” code are in evidence on several parts. The muzzle nut has been fitted with a screw-in hex screw with a reduced aperture for blanks. This muzzle nut may be unscrewed to enable firing of live ammunition. The MP-38 is immediately recognizable from the MP-40 because of several visible differences. It has a hook forward of the front side hood for a muzzle cap, a hole through the magazine housing to reduce weight, ribs machined out of the receiver and an aluminum pistol grip frame and trigger guard, again to reduce weight, all as part of an effort to lighten this otherwise machined steel weapon. Dated 1940 at the top of the receive cap. Two original 32 round MP-40 magazines and one reproduction leather sling are included with this lot. The MP-38 (machine pistol 1938 model) was submitted to meet the needs of the German military for compact burst-fire weapons which originally were to be primarily used by dismounted armor and otherwise vehicle mounted troops. It evolved into the MP-40 which was far less time consuming to produce because the latter utilized more metal stampings, including the receiver. Electronic NFA registry indicates “LA FRANCE TIMOTHY DBA LAFANCE SPECIALTI” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is about fine, with a combination of original and refinish upon remanufacture. Lots of gray and brown patina with much more scale on the magazines. Bore is fine, with firing residue. Bolt face is fine. Mechanics are fine. This is a full-auto only machine gun. The MP-38 model, when found today, is one of the most sought and prized of the German WWII machine pistol models. Relatively slow firing, easy to control, comfortable, and utilizes readily available ammunition. Regardless of remanufacture, and the markings of the maker, there is no doubt there will be plenty of bidders interested in this gun. 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. JWK 2026-05-057. 20,000 - 40,000

Mauser marked shoulder stock, one original 20 round, one original 10 round magazine as well as the original amnesty form in the original envelope it came in are included with this lot. Mauser banner logo on left receiver panel just to the rear of the selector switch. Right receiver panel has standard markings ”WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER OBERNDORF A. NECKAR D.R.P.u.A.P.” with typical Mauser marking over chamber, and crown over “U” with Nazi eagle proof visible on left side flat over chamber. This gun has been the consignor’s family since Amnesty registration. 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. Not many of this model of machine gun are in the National Firearms Act registry, and of these only very few have a Nazi proof, and then consider the condition of this specimen. Electronic NFA registry indicates, “MAUSER” in the manufacturer’s block. PROVENANCE: Original amnesty registration form in original envelope. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original lustrous blue finish with some small spots of congealed preservative oil, and slight loss of finish at forward right bottom of magazine well and on selector switch. Grips are near excellent. Stock is near excellent with slight handling marks. Bore is near excellent. Bolt face extremely fine with evidence of firing. Mechanics are crisp and positive.

1043 - (N) SCARCE ORIGINAL WWI ERA FLUTED WATER JACKET BRITISH VICKERS MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: Vickers Model: 1914 Serial No. C8182 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 24” 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 side-plates thinner, and as seen here, machining out 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. These could be restored with appropriate effort. Original non-armored booster assembly present at muzzle as well as water fill and drain caps with chains. Brass .303 feedblock present. The barrel jacket shows serial number “C8182” with broad arrow proof. NFA Electronic registry indicates “VICKERS SONS AND COMPANY” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good to fine original finish with scattered spots of brown corrosion with dust from long term storage accumulated in the recessed areas. Brown patina showing through the flaking paint of the water jacket. Bore is extremely fine, with some scale from long-term storage. Backplate handles are fine with light handing marks. Charging handle moves smoothly. This is a full-auto only machine gun.

1056 - (D) EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION ST CHAMOND 75MM FIELD GUN ON ORIGINAL STEEL MOUNT WITH ORIGINAL SIGHT AND LEATHER PARTS SATCHEL (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE). Manufacturer: St. Chamond Model: 1904 Serial No. 1810K Caliber/Bore: 75mm Barrel Length: 84 - 1/2” FFL Status: Destructive Device Mexican small arms and artillery engineer Manuel Mondragon (the same man who designed the Mondragon self-loading rifles) developed this artillery piece in collaboration with the engineering team at St Chamond in France. As Mexico did not possess artillery production facilities at the time, the Mexican government sourced its artillery from abroad, purchasing 100 of these guns by 1910. They formed the basis for the Mexican Army’s artillery branch. When World War One broke out, the French government purchased 200 of these guns to supplement supplies of the Model 1897 “French 75”. When the recoil mechanism proved insufficiently durable for the extreme firing rates of World War One field use, the guns were pulled from service and used to equip the first 210 St Chamond heavy tanks built by the French. Its final field use came in 1948, when Mexico sold 32 of their surviving examples to Israel, where they were used in the 1948 independence war. This French manufactured 75 mm field gun (Serial #3) is in such high condition, including the breech and bore and especially the original leather parts satchel attached to the armored shield, that it is logical to theorize that it was held back from delivery to Mexico of the first 100 guns of this model. According to the consignor, this gun can be fired using repurposed U.S. 75 mm PAC howitzer brass cases modified to fit. This gun is currently registered under the weight designation on the top of the breech (1810k), but the actual serial number, “No 3” is clearly visible on the rear of the breech, on the matching breechblock, and on the back of the pneumatic recuperator. This can be requested correction through the BATF if desired. Dimensions are: 169 inches overall length muzzle to end of trail. 76 inches wide outer hub to outer hub. 54 inches high at highest point. The wheels are 51 inches high and the tube is 92 inches long muzzle to back of the breechblock, exclusive of the breechblock handle, which adds just under 2.5 inches. An original prismatic sight (apparently un-numbered) is present and mounted to the left of the tube. The traverse and elevation mechanisms are intact and functional. The breechblock opens and closes with ease. There are two original matching numbered gunners kit boxes. One box contains the original prismatic sight for this gun. Refer to photographs to see other parts present. There is a very attractive and matching numbered brass and steel fuse-setter for this gun included as well as one brass case with some rolled-up paper photographs of other specimens in other locations, such as at the “Israeli museum”. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “FRANCE” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Very attractive gray painted finish on metal parts except for the gun tube itself, breech ring, crank handles and steel tires which are black. The wood spoke wheels are very strong and serviceable and have a thick coating of some sort of shellac. The breechblock is unpainted with a pleasing uniform brown patina. The extractor and general mechanics of gun are in fine condition. Bore is extremely fine with strong, shiny rifling, starting to get a little dark. Breechblock is very clean with extremely fine condition interrupting threads. Metal tires are in good serviceable condition. Original leather parts satchel attached to shield to the right side of breech has turned hard with age but otherwise is remarkably intact considering the passage of years.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good to fine original original finish with gray and brown patina finish on most metal surfaces, with scattered light pitting and more aggressive “blood” pitting in places. More significant scale on the buttstock socket and buttplate assembly. Internal parts have gray and brown patina but appear serviceable. Buttplate is a uniform brown patina.

Pistol grip is fine with a chip out at the forward right quarter with a noticeable ding on the right side. Bore is extremely fine approaching excellent with bright rifling. Bolt face has acquired a dark patina but is serviceable. Mechanics are fine and positive. This is a full-auto only machine gun. The Type 99 Model was the larger, more powerful cartridge version of the earlier Type 96. Both were used by Japanese forces until the end of World War II. The Type 99 was generally considered an improvement due to the more powerful cartridge and wedge-type barrel fastening system. These went to the elite units first such as the Japanese marines, then a significant number of these guns were retained on the home islands “saving the best for the final defense.” The fact that this gun retains matching bolt and barrel, and the manufacturer being Kokura sets it in a higher category of collectability than most of this model. This and the nature of the condition indicates this guns was brought back from one of the combat areas and it very likely was actually in combat. A fine WWII Pacific Theater collector’s item.

1065 - (N) EXCEPTIONAL HIGH CONDITION WWII GERMAN LUFTWAFFE MG-17 MACHINE GUN WITH ORIGINAL COCKING AND FIRING MECHANISM (CURIO & RELIC). Manufacturer: German Model: MG-17 Serial No. 4031564 Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser Barrel Length: 23.75” FFL Status: NFA Remarkably rare and possibly the highest original condition specimen of its kind registered for private ownership in the United States. This is an original German MG-17 machinegun, dated May 1942, with Luftwaffe eagle proof on left side of the receiver. Original electric solenoid mechanism, with cable intact as well as original pneumatic mechanism with added modern rubber compressed air hose. Screw-on muzzle not present. Bolt, carrier, and barrel are all present, and in outstanding clean condition. There is a spot of weld on the joint where the barrel shroud meets the receiver which does not allow the shroud to be removed. The barrel and barrel carrier move freely back and forth within the shroud and receiver. The bolt moves freely within the receiver when actuated by hand. The original manual cocking handle is present. The assembly to the rear of the numbered receiver, which is removal and not actually part of the receiver retains the aforementioned solenoid and pneumatic mechanisms. This piece moves freely back and forth about an inch, but until the weld which holds the shroud to the receiver is removed, no further disassembly is possible. The rear of the gun which retains its large recoil buffer spring and buffer is open, with no retention cap present. Top of receiver is marked “MG-17 / Nr 4031564 / Fl 47500”. The MG-17 machine gun was the offensive armament for many German Luftwaffe aircraft during WWII. Over 24,000 were produced before it was gradually replaced by the MG-131 and MG-151 machine cannon. Since these guns are in the standard 7.92 x 57 mm Mauser rifle cartridge, many of these MG-17s were converted for use in a ground role after they were removed from aircraft. They are a very fast-firing machine gun. Bolt with extractor, carrier, and mainspring all seem to be good serviceable condition, as does the cocking/ firing mechanism. Electronic NFA registry indicates, “GERMANY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original black enamel finish throughout with some scattered loss of finish to a gray patina in places. Close examination of the internals indicate outstanding clean condition. Bore is near mint, shiny and bright. Bolt is near mint. Cocking/firing mechanism is extremely fine. Braided electrical cable has fractured metal casing near mechanism end and outer zinc casing and brown bakelite inner socket have slight damage which does not appear likely to affect serviceability but one must judge for oneself. This is a full-auto only machine gun. As a World War II German Luftwaffe collector’s, or aircraft restorer’s piece, this is an incredible find. Suitable for the most advanced, discerning and forward-thinking collector/investor/machine gun enthusiast. 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 2026-05-035. 12,000 - 18,000

The design of this cradle’s attachment to the recoil mechanism on the gun allows for sufficient movement to engage aircraft. The very rare anti-aircraft sight is also included in this lot. Even more attractive to the recreational firer/collector is the adapter included and attached to the bottom of the stump mount fixture which allows this unit to be mounted on an included pedestal mount. Manufactured at the Finnish State Rifle Factory “VKT” the gun is marked “20pst.kiv/39” with typical “SA” marking left of SN on left side of receiver. Barrel is “VKT” marked and numbered 1985.

Nicknamed the “Thumper” by U.S. military personnel, the M-79 was the natural evolution of “pocket artillery”, which grew out of Americans seeing the Japanese use their portable Type 89 Grenade dischargers during WWII. Americans began to use our own 60mm Mortars in innovative ways. Mortars evolved to become trigger fired, and once the High-Low propulsion system was refined, to reduce recoil, the M-79 entered service in 1961. It became a very popular and effective weapon. Essentially lobbing 40x46mm grenades out to greater distances, with greater accuracy than a human being could hurl a grenade, but even more importantly, could do so repeatedly without having to pull safety pins, or get tired doing so. Fold down sight is present. Safety is a sliding switch at the top tang in the tradition of double-barreled shotguns. Trigger guard folds out of the way if the firer desires. Electronic NFA registry indicates “ ARMAMENT SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC ASI” in the manufacturer’s block.

1087 - (D) FINNISH 82MM SMOKE MORTAR (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE). Manufacturer: Finnish Government Arsenal Model: Unknown Serial No. 2091 Caliber/Bore: 82mm Barrel Length: 30 - 1/2” FFL Status: Destructive Device

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

Extremely popular WWII Finnish mortar which utilizes 12 gauge blank shotgun shell cartridges as propellent charges, utilizing an innovative spring firing pin and lanyard system. A removable “chamber” holds the blank shotshell at a 90 degree angle to the bore-line. The removable chamber is locked into place within the mortar by rotating it into a threaded locking “keyway” in the same manner that breechblocks lock up in many early centerfire cannon. The removable chamber is perforated on the sides as is the receptacle it locks into. A plate which pulls the firing pin back against spring pressure when the lanyard is rapidly pulled back releases the firing pin and the cartridge is detonated. The expanding gas pressure from the detonation within the chamber pushes the projectile out of the muzzle of the mortar. Very ingenious, with no need for any propellant charge in or on the projectile itself. This cataloger has commonly seen repurposed soup cans packed with concrete or sand and resin glue utilized as projectiles at recreational shooting events, often times with firework pull string smoke canisters as the payload. Originally these mortars were used during World War II to project smoke projectiles. 161 of this particular model were in the Finnish inventory in June of 1940. The design was devised as expedient to providing different charges of propellent for projectiles without having to attach additional propellent charges to the projectiles themselves. It was also easier to keep boxes of 12 gauge blank cartridges out of the weather than crates of 81mm projectiles themselves. The bottom of the tube is banded in the manner of a Parrot rifle to strengthen the chamber area, but even so, these mortars were designed only for smoke and light projectiles as opposed to the heavier high explosive rounds. Original lightweight bipod, sling, and a much more robust traditional bipod with 23” diameter baseplate are included in this lot. The fixture currently at the center of the lightweight bipod which normally is welded to the tube is free-moving, and a clamp-on collar is present on the tube designed to attached to the more robust traditional bipod. In other words, two bipods, and one baseplate are included with this lot. This cataloger believes the tube of this mortar to be a high-quality replacement which freely screws in and out of the receiver base cup. Matching serial numbers 2091 on receiver cup and on firing actuator mechanism. It is often the case that these do not match between the receiver cup and the firing actuator. The original production run included spare actuators to go with the main assemblies. When there was a demand for more mortars, the most expedient way to get more into the field quickly was to make additional cups, tubes, baseplates, and bipods, and instead of having to machine and assemble additional complex actuator mechanisms, to just take the spares already produced and put them with the newly produced pieces; very clever. The result, of course, is some duplicated serial numbers between specimens. Electronic NFA registry indicates “FINLAND” in the manufacturer’s block. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent olive drab green painted finish. Bore is extremely fine as is the firing mechanism. Original sling and combination leather and web muzzle cover/sling is a real bonus for the discerning collector. Any who have seen these mortars in action at the range know how easy, and how much fun they are to shoot. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

These trainers are 200% scale fully functioning cutaway models of the original service weapons. Their purpose was to be used in classroom settings in order to train new recruits on the functions of the actual weapon.

This includes springs which were reduced in strength in order to make the parts easy to operate, while exhibiting the correct function of the 1/1 scale rifle. This example exhibits handling marks as well as scratches and chips in the paint with a moderate patina throughout. The training aid is complete with its wood transit case which houses the barrel on the underside of the lid. The wood base with the manufacturer’s data plate is present but the data plate has become unglued. All mechanical components function correctly when cycled by hand. Transit case exhibits splits and cracks with chipping paint. CONDITION: Good.

1111 - LOT OF 2: L-39 “VANDY 1” VERTICAL STABILIZER AND RUDDER PAINTED BY GARY VELASCO. L-39 tail assembly consisting of a vertical stabilizer and rudder which came off of the flagship jet “VANDY 1” for the Warrior Flight Team. The tail is signed by team lead pilot Scott “Jethro” Kelly (U.S Navy retired) and Pat “Villian” Marsh, owner of the jet. The jet is painted in the markings of Navy Squadron VX-9, a weapons test and evaluation squadron. The bunny head is the official squadron tail code with the blessing of Playboy’s Hugh Hefner back in the late 70s. It’s still being used today on a couple of F-18 Superhornets. This was acquired when several years ago when the jet caught fire upon final run up. The complete tail section had to be replaced and in “lieu of payment” to repaint, the original vertical stabilizer and rudder were given to the artist, Gary Velasco. During this history several notable celebrities have been associated with Vandy 1 including Playboy heir and Hugh Hefner’s son, Cooper Hefner and actor Harrison Ford. Steelheart singer and movie rockstar Mark Wahlberg’s singing voice Mili Matijevic used this jet in his “LOL” video from his 2008 album “Good 2B Alive”. The pilot who regularly flew this jet was none other than Top Gun Navy pilot Lt Commander Dale “Snort” Snodgrass. Both pieces exhibit great vibrant colors with clear signatures. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of an iconic aircraft painted by a notable warbird artist. CONDITION: Excellent. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. 5,000 - 10,000

1112 - GENERAL OMAR BRADLEY’S 5-STAR LICENSE PLATE. Military issue, Korean War era 5-star license plate attributed to General Omar Bradley via oral history from the current owner. Bradley had a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Army, and was the last of America’s 5-star generals. He entered the US Army Military Academy in 1912. Graduating from West Point in 1915 Bradley held a number of assignments and missed World War I guarding copper mines in Montana. After the U.S. entry into World War II, he oversaw the transformation of the 82nd Infantry Division into the first American airborne division. He received his first front-line command in Operation Torch, serving under General George S. Patton in North Africa. After Patton was reassigned, Bradley commanded II Corps in the Tunisia Campaign and the Allied invasion of Sicily. He commanded the First United States Army during the invasion of Normandy. After the breakout from Normandy, he took command of the Twelfth United States Army Group, which ultimately comprised forty-three divisions and 1.3 million men, the largest body of American soldiers ever to serve under a single field commander. After the war, Bradley headed the Veterans Administration. He was appointed as Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1948 and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1949. In 1950, he was promoted to the rank of General of the Army, becoming the last of the nine individuals promoted to five-star rank in the United States Armed Forces. The plate itself corresponds to the same materials and construction of other historic flag officer license plates handled by Morphy Auctions and this cataloger. The paint and measurements are an exact match to numerous plates in museum and institution holdings. Included is a signed vintage photo of Bradley that was given to one of the previous owners when he acquired the plate from the General. CONDITION: Very Good with light period wear. 2,000 - 4,000 84

They held their last parade in 1879 and dissolved in 1880. This was not a regulation sword for a regular army enlisted man, but appropriate as an ornate, robust saber for a mounted militiaman.

Scabbard with no dents, mounts in place and body bright rather than blued, likely in keeping with other swords in the unit. 2,000 - 5,000

Blade Length: 32” Overall Length: 39” A fine example of a Civil War non-regulation Model of 1847 Officer’s sword that was presented to Captain William Nippins. The presentation is located on the grip and reads “PRESENTED / To Capt / Wm Nippins / By The Members of Co. D. / 34th Reg. N.J. Vols.”. William Nippins mustered into service on 27 April 1861 to the 4th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry and became Captain on 17 August 1861. Nippins is listed as wounded on the 4th New Jersey’s 2nd Bull Run after action report dated 30 August 1862. In September 1863, he reenlisted into the 34th New Jersey as a Captain and commander of Company D until the end of the war. He died at home of illness in Mount Holly, New Jersey in November 1865.

There is also an Israeli vehicle mount cradle, and robust hard composite transit case included with this lot. This gun fires from a closed bolt, and has pantographic markings on right side indicating Colt, but the actual manufacturer appears to be “Dan Delong”. It is pretty clear from examination that this gun was assembled from some parts which had light pitting, exclusive of the sideplates, and backplate hardware. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent dark matte blue refinish upon remanufacture with some light pitting visible under the refinish on the trunnion, top cover, bottom plate and rear plate the rear sight is attached to. Bore has strong rifling with firing residue. Bolt face extremely fine and professionally marked “Dan Delong”. Mechanism requires typical effort to withdraw bolt to the rear. Tripod and cradle have near excellent black enamel finish. This is quite an attractive ensemble for the person who wants an M2 Browning without the high cost of being an NFA item. This gun will transfer as a semi-automatic modern rifle. JWK 2026-05-051. 10,000 - 18,000

1192 - (M) 2026 FEGA MASTER SERIES ENGRAVED “THEATER COMMANDERS OF WWII” COLT GOVERNMENT MODEL 1911A1 .45 ACP SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH CASE. Manufacturer: Colt Model: Government Model MK IV Serial No. 70B53247 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Modern This 1911 is the 2026 auction gun to support the Firearms Engravers Guild of America, showcasing the work of some of the finest engravers working today. Wrangled by Marianne Kelley, this gun was engraved by Steven Fiddler, Michael Siderio, Christopher Rossiter, Jim Agner, and Otto Carter, with grip work by Barry Lee Hands, Master Plate by Michael Dubber, and final finishes by John Powers, with the case constructed by Basil Meadows. All of the engravers produce outstanding work and are amongst the best artisans working today. The gun is themed about the three five star American military officers in World War II: General Dwight Eisenhower, Admiral Chester Nimitz, and General Douglas MacArthur. Each commanding officer is represented in their own bulino vignette: the left side of the slide with MacArthur shown in portrait over a number of American soldiers unloading out of a Higgins boat, number PA2107; the top of the slide has Eisenhower’s portrait surmounting an M26 Pershing tank boldly rolling forward, while the right side has Admiral Nimitz overlooking a submarine surging up out of the waves. The balance of the gun is engraved with American scrollwork on a finely stippled ground, with 24 karat gold borders framing the vignettes and borders of the gun. The small parts and pins are brilliantly nitre blued and the grips are mother of pearl with brilliant fire, inlaid with five 24 karat gold stars, representing the highest military rank in World War II. Each of the grip screws is also engraved with the backs of the different cartridges produced during World War II, including “R A 45” for Remington, and “WCC 45” for Western Cartridge Company. Blued magazine with gold legends on baseplate, including “COLT / 45 AUTO”, a Rampant Colt, and gold wire borders, accented by acanthus scrollwork. The gun is richly blued, and each of the vignettes is left in their bright steel to allow for clear appreciation of the fine work. The gun is housed in a rosewood case with hickory accents and a five star array inlaid into the lid. The interior has a laser engraved lid depicting a mighty Rampant Colt and Colt logo, with the names of the five engravers across the bottom. Bottom lid with a blue cloth field relieved for the gun and a brass plaque that reads “Theater Commanders of WWII / COLT / 2026 / FEGA MASTERS SERIES / COLT’S MK IV/SERIES 70 / GOVERNMENT MODEL / .45 AUTOMATIC CALIBER / SERIAL NO. 70B53247”. Adding to the desirability is the Colt letter that describes the gun as shipped to Michael Wayne, John Wayne’s oldest son. The gun shipped to Pony Express Sport Shop in Encino “For Michael Wayne, Wayne Enterprises, c/o Bat Jac Productions” on July 15th, 1983, in a shipment of 1. Batjac Productions was founded by John Wayne and Robert Fellows as a way for Wayne to continue producing and starring in films. After John’s death in 1979, Michael assumed control of the company, making this gun a shipment when Michael was in control of the company. There is also a Certificate of Authenticity from Little John’s Auction Service, signed by John Gangel, stating that the gun came from the estate of Michael Wayne. Accompanied by loose Colt paperwork. CONDITION: Excellent, as finished and delivered to FEGA, retaining essentially all of the finishes throughout, with some extremely minor marks from handling and storage. Trigger with some scattered pockmarks that do not detract. Grips excellent with outstanding fire. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with strong rifling and some minor frosting in grooves. Case excellent with some scattered handling marks. This is an outstanding example of American engraving. 20,000 - 30,000

They were made until 1941 when production basically halted for the World War II, and then briefly offered again in 1946 through 1947, making post-War examples nearly impossible to locate. The factory letter states that this pistol was produced on October 4, 1947 and was part of a six gun shipment to Hall & Knight Hardware in Lewiston, Maine. This gun was assembled using the all blue higher polish slide mated to the new dual tone finish frame. The new none-glare dual tone finish was introduced in 1946. Some guns from this year feature a mix of pre-War and post-War parts. This example still sports the checkered slide stop and safety, checkered wide spur hammer, short checkered trigger, the post-War serrated arched main spring housing, a bevel edge square notch rear sight and pre-War type checkered walnut grips. The magazine is a pre-War style tempered two tone stamped Colt Super Match. The slide has serial number 19952 applied. The barrel is also stamped “COLT SUPER 38 AUTO MATCH”. This gun letters as having been shipped as a Super Match. Probably a special order, using parts on hand and some post-War parts and is the only Pre-War/Post-War Super Match this writer has seen. A nearly impossible gun to find as factory assembled. CONDITION: Fine. The frame retains the majority of its blue finish showing some nominal edge wear at forward lower frame, a light take down line and nominal handling.

1228 - (A) HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT COLT 1851 NAVY PRESENTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL J.R. ANDERSON OF THE TREDEGAR IRON WORKS. Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1851 Navy Serial No. 100831 Caliber/Bore: .36 Rifled Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique It is no secret that Samuel Colt had no qualms selling his arms to both sides during conflict, including during the American Civil War. His clever marketing strategy also included presenting elaborate, fancily decorated examples of his products to entice potential clients, to famously include the “Sultan of Turkey” gun and its compatriots that Samuel Colt presented to solicit business from both sides of the Crimean War. This pistol continues to reflect that trend, and was presented to J.R. Anderson, the owner of the famous Tredegar Iron Works. Anderson was born in 1813 and graduated from West Point in 1836 and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 3rd Artillery before transferring to the Engineering Bureau in D.C.. He was the assistant engineer for Fort Pulaski, and resigned in September 1837. He continued in the civilian sector as an Engineer, taking various projects, but in March 1841 he was the agent for Tredegar Iron Works. Over the years he became more and more involved, until he become the owner in January 1848. Tredegar was an extremely important manufacturer, providing locomotives, cannon, and other pieces of tooling to the US government. When the Civil War officially began, the decision to base the Confederate capital in Richmond was influenced in no small part by the need to hold Tredegar. A Secessionist, Anderson quickly arranged to provide the fledgling Confederacy with cannon and shot, but felt called to the field as well. He was commissioned as a Brigadier-General on September 3rd, 1861, with the stipulation that if his personal supervision was required at the Iron Works, he was to return. He commanded the 3rd Brigade and participated in the Battle of Mechanicsville, Gaine’s Mill, and Frazier’s Farm; Anderson was wounded at Frazier’s Farm, and resigned his commission to return to Tredegar. Anderson was eager for the Confederate government to take control of Tredegar, citing his efficiency and ingenuity in the face of limited resources and other wartime stressors. After the War, Tredegar was temporarily seized by Union forces, but released back to Anderson in 1867. He continued to run Tredegar till his death, and was an active participant in politics until he died on September 7th, 1892, at the Isles of Shoals. This revolver was likely presented to Anderson as a result of his commercial relationship with Colt. Colt and Anderson previously had dealings, with 250 Navies shipped to J.R. Anderson in February of 1861. In April of 1861, Anderson reached out to Colt, looking to establish an ongoing contract for Colt pistols at a rate of 300 guns a week, but Colt was cut off from the South a mere two weeks later, April 15th. Per the included factory letter, this gun was documented as a blued 1851 navy with blued finish, 7 - 1/2” barrel, and shipped to Anderson in Richmond, Virginia, on February 6th in a shipment of 50. Most likely, realizing he had the opportunity to woo an important Southern industrialist and likely business contact, Colt had one of the guns pulled and decorated in the same vein as the Crimean War guns. Silver plated throughout, including the screws, and decorated with Gustave Young style acanthus scrollwork with a punchdot background and crosshatch shading. “ADDRESS SAMl COLT HARDFORD CT” across top barrel flat, “COLT’S PATENT” on left side of frame, and full or partial matching serial numbers on barrel assembly, rammer assembly, wedge, cylinder, cylinder axle, frame, trigger guard, and butt. Fit with an 1849 Pocket trigger. Elaborately engraved ivory grips with relief carving of a patriotic eagle atop a shield and a scroll that reads “LIBERTY” on left side; not numbered but fit with correct factory style wooden spacers, further suggesting the gun was quickly put together for Anderson. Accompanied by extensive documentation and letters discussing this gun, including a letter from Tom Powers opining that the gun was likely pulled for embellishment and that finish is original; letter from R.L. Wilson examining the history of the gun and remarking on its significance; Colt factory letter; copy of “The Colt Engraving Book: Volume Two”, where this gun is photographed and described on pages XX and XXI, inscribed by Wilson to John Harris, whose collection the gun is attributed to; copy of the Fall 2009 TGCA magazine, where the display of this gun was used to entice people to attend the TGCA Collectors Arms show; extensive research and other materials relating to Anderson, Tredegar, and related, housed in a fliptop box and a portfolio that cleanly and effectively presents relevant information. CONDITION: With the vast majority of the factory silver plate retained throughout the barrel assembly and frame, with some areas of flaking and very fine oxidation visible, and some thinning to brass at sharp edges. Grips very good with heavier wear to brass, particular at back strap and around the trigger guard. Cylinder has all six safety nipples still intact and well defined. Mechanically fine, bore with strong, well defined rifling through. Grips excellent with one spliced repair on right scale, just behind frame screw, measuring approximately 1/4” x 1/16”. Engraving is crisp and well cut throughout. This is an outstanding and extremely important Colt, representing not only Colt’s predilection for soliciting multiple sides in conflicts, but also his tendency to present elaborate arms as a way to curry favor for business. 60,000 - 90,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: Dragoon Serial No. 18784 Caliber/Bore: .44 Straight Wall Barrel Length: 8” FFL Status: Antique This is a late third model produced in 1860. By the time Colt starting doing factory conversions in 1870 as a result of the Rollin White’s bored-through cylinder patent ending in December of 1869, the massive Dragoon was fairly obsolete so the factory never offered this model in a conversion. That said, there were still an abundant supply of Dragoons being used along the frontier. Many of these guns were converted by private gunsmiths with no consistency as to quality. This example was performed by someone out west with extreme care and proficiency. The rear of the cylinder was machined away and a conversion ring was installed. It would have been a bit slow to reload as there is no loading port and the cylinder would have to be removed to empty and reload. This is a lovely example in that all numbers are matching to include the wedge. Standard features include the W.L. Ormsby roll die Texas Ranger cylinder scene, brass straps with round trigger guard, squared cylinder notches, walnut grips, single line New York Colt barrel legend and Colt Patent legend on frame. There are no maker designations on the conversion ring. CONDITION: Very good. All legends are crisp. The cylinder scene is almost entirely visible. The brass is nicely toned.

1284 - (M) A FRANCOLINI MASTERPIECE: THE EAST-WEST GUNS, A CUSTOM SET OF COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMIES. Manufacturer: (ALL) Colt Model: (ALL) SAA Serial No. (A) EAST1 (B) WEST1 (C) 1EAST (D) 1WEST Caliber/Bore: (ALL) .45 Long Colt Barrel Length: (ALL) 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Modern

On May 10th, 1869, a new chapter in American history began with the laying of the final railroad tie of the Pacific Railroad, joining the East and West Coasts together at a rate previously unheard of; trips that took months could now be done in as little as a week. At the time, the famed photographer Andrew Russell took his famous photo of the ceremony where the cowcatchers of the Central Pacific’s Jupiter and the Union Pacific’s No. 119 met, with Samuel Montague and Grenville Dodge shaking hands at the center. This famous photo inspired the creation of these bespoke Colts, ordered and crafted to pay homage to this pivotal moment. The guns were built as black powder frame guns at the factory and shipped in-the-white to the noted engraver Leonardo Francolini, who had the frames converted to a screwless configuration, maximizing the coverage area. Each gun is dedicated to one of the railroad companies, with the gun that represents the West Coast and the Central Pacific Railroad depicting the Jupiter, and the gun representing the East Coast and the Union Pacific Railroad depicting Engine 119. The barrels replicate the famous photo as closely as possible, with the figures done in sculpted steel with gold accents, including the instruments of the 21st U.S. Infantry Band, watch chains, and most impressively, the exchanged bottles of beer and champagne are gold, silver soldered to a wire and pinned to the barrel, allowing them to extend just beyond the muzzle, as if straining so hard that they escaped their physical confines. The locomotives are integrated into the barrel, with the smokestacks serving as the skeletonized front sights, and their steel bodies fit onto barrel approximately 2 - 1/2” back from the muzzle. Peering in through the open windows, Francolini’s signature can be seen on each gun. The only other deviation from the photo is the addition of three characters on the East gun: an engineer is in the cab of 119, and below him are a pair of people, a man and a woman, representing David and Lynette Grunberg, who commissioned the set. The balance of the barrels is embellished with thin gold tendril floral scrollwork, and gold inlaid “COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45”. The ejector rod tubes are embellished with floral scroll en suite and are further decorated with gold inlaid “CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD” on the West gun, and “UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD” on the East gun. The backs of the barrels and ejector rod tubes have relief railroad track borders, with gold ties and platinum rails. The frames have numerous scenes throughout, relating to the railroad and its history. The left side of the East gun is dominated by a scene of an Indian attack, with gold horseback Indians attacking a blued train with gold boiler straps and headlight, with a French grey passenger train and background; a banner to the right reads “INDIAN ATTACK”, woven in with the scrollwork. The right side of the frame depicts a quartet of gold men working to lay a rail, with a steel background and rail; another interwoven banner reads “LAYING TRACK”. The loading gate depicts a golden fireman stoking the fire of a locomotive, with an open boiler door in the cutout, with a gold fire raging. The left side of the recoil shield shows workers starting a tunnel through the Wasatch mountains, with the workers and tools executed in gold, with a steel tunnel enveloping them. The interwoven banner reads “TUNNEL 2 NEAR WAHSATCH”. The left side of the frame has a raised portrait of General Grenville Mellon Dodge, the chief engineer for Union Pacific, with a banner underneath that reads “GEN. GRENVILLE M. DODGE”. Underneath the portrait of the general is a surveyor holding a range pole for his counterpart on the West Coast gun, who has the transit. The right side of the rollwork has a white gold plaque engraved “10 MILES OF TRACK LAID IN ONE DAY APRIL 28th 1869”, a duplicate of the sign that was made by Central Pacific when the feat was accomplished. The cylinder is banded with more of the gold and platinum railroad track at the rear, and the chambers are decorated with relief inlays of a spike hammer and a rail tong on the right, and a peace pipe and an Indian medallion with eagle feathers. The chambers that are covered by the strap and the frame are decorated with scrollwork. The top of the grip has a gold plate with Colt’s patent dates, while the strap has an incredible three dimensional rendering of Union Pacific 119 thundering out of the grips, with the boiler, headlight, stack, and cowcatcher made of steel, with gold highlights, and billowing smoke that rolls up and onto the grips. The ivory grips were made by Paul Persinger in Texas, and are embellished with steel medallions on both sides, left with a locomotive arriving at the Union Pacific station to Nebraska, with gold locomotive and station. The small insert towards the top has a gold coal burning locomotive rolling forward towards the viewer, with smoke billowing onto the grips. The right side has three gold workers with a handcart on the mouth of a French grey tunnel, surmounted by the logo of the Union Pacific. The hammer and trigger guard has thin floral tendril scrollwork ensuite. The West gun is similarly embellished, with a 154

three dimensional depiction of Jupiter barreling out of the backstrap with smoke billowing over the backstrap and onto the grips, and steel medallions, with left medallion depicting a gold Chinese worker carrying tea into the mouth of a tunnel for his fellow workers, supplanted by a gold version of the Central Pacific Railroad. The right medallion shows a train getting ready to depart from the Sacramento station, with the train and station in gold, supplanted by a Western locomotive, with smoke flowing onto the ivory grips. The frame has scenes ensuite with the East gun. On the right side is a golden Governor Sanford using a spike hammer to drive the Golden Spike home, surrounded by workers and the front of Jupiter; abutting, in the scrollwork, is a banner that reads “DRIVING THE GOLDEN SPIKE”. The gate depicts a pair of workers using nitro glycerin to blast rocks as part of the construction of the Summit Tunnel in the Sierras, with the works executed in gold and the unstable nitro as rose gold; the banner integrated in the scrollwork “BLASTING THE SUMMIT TUNNEL”. The right side of the scrollwork is a white gold portrait of Theodore Judah, the chief Engineer for Central Pacific, over a banner that reads “THEODORE JUDAH”. Underneath the portrait of Judah is a surveyor, looking through the transit on the range pole being held on the East gun. The recoil shield depicts the C.P. Huntington in gold as it travels along the Secret Town Trestle. The left scrollwork has two works in buffalo robes inspecting the track while riding the cowcatcher; the banner in the scrollwork is engraved “INSPECTING TRACK”. The left side of the frame shows the moment that the telegraph operator sent “DONE” in morse code when the golden spike was hammered home, with the banner reading “SENDING “DONE” OVER THE WIRE”. The cylinder is en suite with the East gun, but instead has “DONE” in morse code, a telegraph key, a railroad sledge hammer, and the Golden Spike. The case for the guns is equally as impressive, and was crafted by Francolini specifically for these guns, made of white quarter sawn oak and birch plywood. The rear is fit with mirrors so that every element on the guns is visible, and the glass is Tru View museum glass. The carrying handles are gold plated railroad spikes, and the drawer handles are 1/4 size spikes. Gold plated plaque across front reads “East Meets West” with scroll borders. Two methods of display are available for the guns: the first is to insert steel posts that screw into the backstrap/trigger guard hole and allow for the guns to be placed muzzle to muzzle, recreating the Promontory scene. The other option is a French fitted drawer, cut for both guns, two small compartments with pulls after railroad wheels, and accessories comprising a pair of oil bottles designed with “60” and “119” for the locomotives in gold, and Martin Huey turnscrew, wiping rod, frame wrench, and brush, with ivory handles and gold-plated brass ferrules engraved with scroll. Also included are a second pair of guns in classic configuration with 7 – 1/2” barrels, blued and case color frames, and with serial numbers “1EAST” and “1WEST”, intended to secure the serial numbers so the project could not be duplicated. They are engraved on the backstrap “ENGINE 119” and “JUPITER”, respectively, paying homage to the locomotives. The set is accompanied by numerous awards that they have won, including a Silver Certificate from the National Rifle Association and the associated medal, 2014 Concord North Carolina C.C.A. Show Award for Best Single Weapon 1946-Present, North Carolina C.C.A. Show Howard Dove Award, and 10 Best Arms Award from the NRA dated 2017. Other accessories include a Rampant Colt statue and a commemorative Bowie knife made to display with the guns, with gold filled script “Awarded For Faithful Service / Maybe God Continue the Unity of our Country as this Railroad unite the two Great Oceans of the World” on one side, the other with “Transcontinental Railroad / 1869 / Jupiter / Central Pacific RR // Promontory Summit Utah // No. 119 / Union Pacific RR” with a scene of two locomotives meeting. The guns are also accompanied by extensive documentation, including letters from Francolini and Colt, extensively describing the guns, photos, and a copy of “American Engravers III: Masterpieces in Metal by America’s Engraving Artisans”, where these guns are the central foldout piece. CONDITION: As expected, the guns remain in essentially the same condition as they were sent to Dave Grunberg. Engraving is crisp throughout and well cut as befits an artist of Francolini’s talent. Some accessories with scattered handling marks, the bowie with some fine oxidation to blade. This is an outstanding pair of guns, orchestrated from the moment of conception as a pair that is unlikely to ever be replicated. 400,000 - 800,000

1291 - (C) COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45 COLT REVOLVER WITH PROVENANCE. Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 348480 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Per the included Colt letter, this revolver shipped as a 5 - 1/2” .45 Colt with blued finish and rubber grips to R.J. Brady, address unavailable, on December 7th, 1925, in a shipment of 1 gun. Some included research from Ron Ogan indicates that Tom Brady is the same Tom Brady that was a Texas Ranger in 1923. He served under Captain W.L. Wright in Company D, before working in the U.S. Mounted Customs service along the Mexican border, primarily chasing liquor smugglers, and eventually was elected sheriff of Dimmit County, Carrizo Springs. The revolver is engraved on the butt “R.J.B. to Tom / 12-25-25”, presumably, R.J. gave the gun to Tom as a Christmas gift. Classic configuration of a Single Action Army with blade front sight, frame notch rear sight, kidney shaped ejector rod head, case colored frame with balance blued, single line Colt address across top of barrel, caliber designation of left side of barrel, frame with two line patent information and Rampant Colt, matching serial numbers on frame, trigger guard, and backstrap, under grips. Hard rubber grips with embossed Rampant Colts at wrist. Ron Ogan’s letter recounts that he acquired the gun in trade, and was told that the gun was originally acquired from a Texan family circa 1940, who used it as partial payment for house work. The person who acquired it said that he was not interested by the inscription and never investigated. When Ogan acquired it, he reached out to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and showed it to the curator, who apparently opined that it was the same Brady, and helped Ogan acquire Brady’s Oath of Service and Enlistment papers, both of which are included. Additionally, there are some scans out of books relating some history on Brady and his photo. CONDITION: With the majority of the bluing on barrel with some handling marks throughout, some silvering, and thinning, primarily to muzzle. Ejector rod housing commensurate with heavy thinning to outside of housing consistent with holster wear. Frame with approximately 20% of the case colors, mostly retained in protected areas. Grips are very good, left grip has a chip in left toe, approximately 1/2”. Mechanically fine, bore with strong rifling and some moderate frosting. Engraving is crisp, and appears to have been cut by a jeweler. An interesting Colt with relation to one of the key Texas Rangers who fought the “tequileros”. 6,000 - 10,000 1292 - (C) COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 COLT SPECIAL REVOLVER. Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 354261 Caliber/Bore: .38 Special Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic According to the Colt Factory archive letter, this gun left the factory as a .38 Colt with a 5 - 1/2” barrel. The finish was blue and the grips were not listed. It was sold to Nevada Sporting Goods Company in Reno Nevada. It was shipped to Shaw Batcher Company in Sacramento California on March 13, 1931 in a shipment of 1 gun. Single line address on top of the barrel, “COLT’S PT. F. A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD’ CT. U.S.A.” Caliber designation on the left side of the barrel, “COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY 38 SPECIAL”. Two line patent address and rampant Colt logo on the left side of the frame. Matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and the backstrap. It has an aftermarket set of fleur-de-lis grips. CONDITION: This gun retains vast amounts of the original factory applied blue finish. There is some holster wear and high edge wear. The rear strap is thinning. Vibrant case colors with some toning. The checkering on the grips is sharp and crisp. Bright and shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves. ADDENDUM: Per “The Book of Colt Firearms”, Third Edition, by Wilson, there are a scant 82 .38 Colt Special Single Action Armies known, and they were not marked “.38 Colt Special”. They are very rare and were only known to be manufactured between 1930 and 1932. The catalog listed the caliber as “.38 Special”, and the barrel marking was recorded as “COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .38 SPECIAL”, as is on this example. 7,000 - 9,000 1293 - (M) LOT OF 2: PAIR OF ENGRAVED CONSECUTIVE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS.

Open mokune and itame jigane with an active hamon including inazumea, sunagashi, and areas of what appears to be nijuba or similar activity. Utsuri visible, particularly on ura. Softened date on nakago appears to read Dai-ei 20, which would be 1541, the year before Yosozaemon Sukesada died. Three mekugi-ana with ha-agari kurijiri nakagojiri.

1304 - HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT BAKUMATSU PERIOD KINNOTO KATANA WITH TOKUBETSU KICHO PAPERS FOR BLADE AND KOSHIRAE. Blade Length: 79.8cm Overall Length: 45 -3/8” This sword was made at the height of the chaos of the Bakumatsu period. It began when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan to force the opening of the traditionally isolationist Tokugawa Shogunate, and ran to the conclusion of the Boshin War, when pro-Imperial Forces defeated the Shogunate reinstalled the Emperor during the Meiji restoration. While swords had become status symbols, the sudden chaos and combat of the period necessitated the return to true fighting blades, and one of the designs that emerged was the Kinnoto, oversized swords of extreme length that were carried by the samurai who supported a restoration of the Emperor. This example is signed by Yokoyama Sukemune and dated February 1864, putting it right in the midst of the bloody fighting. 79.8cm (approximately 31 - 3/8” or 2 shaku 6 sun 3 bun) nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form with iori mune, a very fine and tight itame hada that is almost muji, with some spots of nagare hada, and a suguha temper line with ko nie and some yo towards monouchi. Ko-maru boshi. Unaltered ubu nakago measures 27cm from the bottom of the habaki and in filed with kiri yasurime, has a ha agari nakago jiri, and two mekugi-ana; both mekugi-ana are original, as swords of this size necessitated two mekugi for strength. Gold foil habaki with a carved design of falling rain.

The mounts are all matching, known as “Issaku”, of worked iron with soft cloud motifs with dragons, which can be seen on the rim of the tsuba and the menuki, giving the sword a powerful feel. Accompanied by NBTHK Tokubetsu Kicho papers confirming both the signature of the sword, the authenticity of the sword and mounts, and their artistic value. PROVENANCE: This sword was recently exported from Japan and has not been offered on the American market before. CONDITION: Excellent, in polish, with some scattered handling marks. One notable rub and spot of mossing at the munemachi, on the omote. The saya has some repaired separations along the cutting edge; swords of this size are liable to do this on the draw if they have are not aligned perfectly, such as being drawn in a hurry. Some rubs to gilding at koiguchi. This is an excellent example of a historically important sword as carried by the Imperial royalists. 12,000 - 18,000

1305 - IZUMI NO KAMI OWARI NOBUIE KATANA WITH MOUNTS AND NBTHK PAPERS Blade Length: 2 shaku 3 sun 9 bu Overall Length: 38 - 1/4” While Nobuie originally signed his swords with a different character, he changed after receiving the title Izumi no Kami, a title granted by the Imperial Court in recognition of his craftsmanship; this sword is signed Izumi no Kami and utilizes the second character.

This example measures 2 shaku 3 sun 9 bu (approximately 72.4cm or 28 - 1/2”) in the classic shinogi zukuri form with iori mune.

The sword is housed in the original mounts, with a refined roiro saya with horn koiguchi and koijiri, a period replaced tsuba of soft iron with floral motifs at the corners. Fuchi Kashira signed by Yoshimasa, with well cut incised and low relief designs of florals. Faded purple tsuka ito, with menuki in the form of florals.

Blade Length: 2 shaku 5 bun (29 - 13/16” Overall Length: 42” This is a fantastic example of a shodai Tadayoshi katana, signed “Hizen no Kni Musashi Daijo Fujiwara Tadahiro”.

1308 - AN IMPORTANT JUYO TOKEN TACHI, DEN KO-YOSHII SANENORI WITH KOSHIRAE AND OSHIGATA Blade Length: 71.3cm Overall Length: 39 - 1/4” Juyo Token swords are extremely rare, and are one of the highest ratings a Japanese sword can achieve under the NBTHK classification system. Literally translated as “Important Sword”, only a small handful of swords of outstanding beauty and historical importance are awarded the certification, with the number as low as approximately a half a percent of all swords made. This example was made in the middle of the prestigious Nanbokucho period, approximately 1350, and is attributed by its features to the Ko-Yoshii school of the Bizen tradition, and specifically to the smith Sanenori. Sanenori is recorded in Fujishiro, and his blades achieved a Wazamono rank for their excellent cutting ability. The construction of the blade is 71.3cm of the classic shinogi zukuri form, with iori mune and a chu kissaki. The jigane is a mix of itame and mokume, with vibrant chikei and ji-nie. The hamon is a ko-midare mixed with gunome, and includes ko-ashi and ko-nie, with a bright nioiguchi. Boshi is midare komi with hakikake. Suriage nakago with kurijiri nakagojiri, sujikai yasurime on the newer area of nakago, indeterminate on the older section, with two mekugi-ana. On the omote are two characters remaining the read “Bizen”. The Juyo Token explanation relates that the attribution was influenced by the calligraphy of the two remaining characters, and that the style is unusual for Ko-Yoshii, making it particularly interesting. Furthermore, the blade is exceptionally health, and the jigane and ha are both well forged and attractive. The saya is contemporary and made after a pine needle motif, with a horn koiguchi and kurikata, with golden shitadome. Oversized chocolate brown tsuba with soft designs of waves, chrysanthemum, and florals. Plain fuchi and kashira appear to be made of shibuchi. Imitation rayskin samegawa. Housed in an elaborate sword bag and accompanied by the Juyo Token papers, a copy of the Juyo Zufu page, and an oshigata scroll. Menuki in the form of a studying noble and a thieving monkey. CONDITION: Excellent. In polish, showing off features well. Some very minor looseness at the monouchi that does not detract from a sword of this age, and an errant superficial handling mark. Mounts with scattered handling marks. Oshigata excellent. Juyo blades very rarely find their way to the open market, due to their rarity and desirability, making this offering a notable exception. 25,000 - 35,000

1309 - AN IMPORTANT NIDAI TADAHIRO KATANA ATTRIBUTED TO GENERAL YODA SHIRO, WHO SERVED JAPAN IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD. Blade Length: 71.2cm Overall Length: 39 - 3/4” Yoda Shiro was a Major General in the Imperial Japanese Army, heavily involved in the establishment and running of Manchukuo, also known as Manchuria. Shiro graduated from the IJA Academy in November 1903, as part of the 15th class. In February of the following year he became a second lieutenant assigned to the 47th Infantry Regiment. He rose through the ranks, including becoming the Lieutenant of the 48th, Adjutant of the Tsushima Guard Infantry, and Company Commander of the 72nd Infantry Regiment. In 1915 he graduated from the Army War College, and served as the Battalion Commander of the 39th Infantry. Other notable placements include the Urashio Expeditionary Force which traveled to Vladivostok, General Staff Headquarters, Infantry Commander of the Tianjin Garrison Army, and Commander of the Kurume Regimental District. He was involved in both the Jinan and Manchuria Incidents, which solidified Japanese power in China. During the Jinan incident, he was the commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, and was presumably involved in the taking of Jinan, and during the Manchurian Incident he was the commander of the 38th Mixed Brigade. After both incidents, he was placed in the reserves in 1933, instead serving as the deputy director of the Xing’an General Administration and the Mongolian Government Department before retiring in 1937. After the war he appears to have involved in both the Manchuria Tensan Company, and the Zenrin Kyokai. After the war, he was one of those explicitly banned from holding public office, as part of an effort to keep wartime personnel from assuming post-War positions. General quality mounted sword, presumably given to him when he became a Major General in 1931. These mounts were specially made for his provided family blade, with a specialized liner dropping into the scabbard. Careful removal of the liner reveals “Yoda” on the liner. Other elements of the scabbard are correct with gilded mounts and exotic handle material; family mon at rear. Koiguchi is a replacement without screws, but fits and locks appropriately; lock sometimes slips. The sword is an outstanding ubu Hizen blade signed “Hizen Kuni Ju Omi no Daijo Fujiwara Tadahiro”. He was the son of the shodai Tadahiro and received the Omi no Daijo title in 1641. He had a lengthy sixty year career, and his swords are rated O-Wazamono for their cutting ability. He was particularly notable for refining the konuka hada that Hizen became known for, and his swords are considered extremely desirable. This sword measures 2 shaku 3 sun 5 bu (approximately 71.2cm or just over 28”). The jigane is a well knit konuka hada, with areas of itame and chikei. The hamon is a calm suguha with a maru boshi. Ubu nakago with kengyo nakagojiri, one mekugi-ana, and kiri yasurime. The sword is accompanied by NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers attesting to the authenticity of the signature and quality of the blade. CONDITION: Blade is in excellent polish and shows off features well, with some very minor looseness in the shinogi, appropriate for a sword nearly 400 years old. Mounts are good with some surface scratches and handling marks consistent with exposure to the elements and use, and some raised oxidation on midpoint. Gilding largely rubbed away with better retention in the recessed areas. Koiguchi a replacement with an electropenciled social security number. This is not only a very important sword as a nidai Tadahiro, but identification to an infamous general who carried it throughout his career makes it an important historical piece as well. 30,000 - 35,000

1310 - EXCELLENT CHOUNSAI TSUNATOSHI KATANA WITH HORIMONO AND NBTHK CERTIFICATIONS Blade Length: 2 shaku 1 sun 7 bu Overall Length: 38” The Shodai Chounsai Tsunatoshi was one of the preeminent swordsmiths of the late Edo period. Born in 1798, he moved to Edo in order to learn sword smithing from Suishinshi Masahide, one of one three saijo saku rated smiths of the Shinshinto period, alongside Taikei Naotane, another student of Masahide, and Minamoto Kiyomaro. He eventually settled in Edo, and lived in the house of the Uesugi family, a notable feudal lord, and apparently received a retainer from them. This sword is signed as made on a lucky day in 1830, when Tsunatoshi was in his sword making prime. The nagasa is 2 shaku, 1 sun, 7 bu (approximately 65.7cm or 25 - 7/8”) of classic shinogi zukuri form with an iori mune. The jigane is a tight mokume, becoming muji in places, with a choji midare hamon with ara-nie, and a soft nioiguchi. Midare komi boshi points to Tsunatoshi’s work in the Bizen tradition, which is regarded as his finest works and reputedly even surpassed Suishinshi Masahide’s. The horimono is a finely cut bo-hi and soe-hi on the upper half of the blade, with a finely cut kurikara horimono with the dragon starting to swallow the ken with a sankozuka on the omote, and the ura with an invocation to a great Bodhisattva; finding horimono from Tsunatoshi is extremely rare and are highly desirable. Unaltered ubu nakago with kesho yasurime, signed “Made by Chounsai Tsunatoshi on an Auspicious Day in the New Year of Tenpo 13”. Single mekugi-ana. Mounts comprise an outstanding nashiji saya with an orange ground with gold flecks, and brass koiguchi, koijiri, kurikata, and kaerizuno. Mumei tsuba in mokko gata form with designs of paulownia in mixed metals. Gold foil seppa, fuchi and kashira with a shakudo nanako ground with extensive kirimon. Copper inserts with faux nodules as an insert for same, with a royal purple tsuka-tuo. Menuki with staves and kirimon; both blade and mounts housed in respective sword bags. Accompanied by NBTHK Koshu Tokubetsu Kicho and more modern Hozon papers, both attesting to the authenticity of the blade and the quality of the work. CONDITION: Excellent, in a fabulous polish that shows off features well, with a very minor pockmark in the ha, and some staining in the invocation horimono. Some rough hada that does not detract. Mounts excellent as more contemporary with some very minor hanlding marks, and compliment the sword well. This sword was recently exported from Japan and has not been offered on the American market before; this cataloger is aware of this sword, and it sold for nearly $30,000 the last time it changed hands. An excellent example of a top shinshinto smith in his best style. 20,000 - 30,000

1311 - A RARE AND IMPORTANT SUISHINSHI MASAHIDE WAKIZASHI WITH MOUNTS, WITH TANOBE MICHIHIRO SAYAGAKI AND NBTHK TOKUBETSU HOZON PAPERS, EX. PAUL DAVIDSON. Blade Length: 1 shaku 8 sun 2 bu Overall Length: 32 - 1/2” Suinshinshi Masahide is, without a doubt, the most influential swordsmith of the Shinshinto period. He started as a blacksmith making farming tools, but when he turned 21, he formally began training as a swordsmith under Yoshihide Shimohara in 1771. In 1774, he returned to his home province of Dewa, where he was employed by the Akimoto family, where he adopted the name “Masahide” and the Suishinshi title. Circa 1783, he moved to Edo to learn swordforging techniques of famous smiths from their descendants. While his early work was very much in the style-over-substance style favored in a peaceful Edo period, at the turn of the century he began advocating for “Fukko-to”, returning to the Koto style which favored blades which had substance over style. He appears to have been influenced by watching a number of blades damaged or broken, and believed that these damages were caused by choosing to make flashy swords rather than true working swords. This call became extremely popular, and techniques changed to harken back to the koto period at such a widespread pace that the era is now know as “Shinshinto” or “New New Swords”. Towards the end of his career, he gave his art name “Masahide” to his son and successor, and signed as “Amahide”. This sword is particularly important, not only as an example of his “Amahide” signature, but this sword has a sayagaki appraisal from the renowned expert Tanobe Michihiro, who not only authenticated the signature, but also notes that the sword is a rare, important, and a fine example of Masahide’s Bizen work. Furthermore, it also notes that the sayagaki was done for Paul Davidson, the notable collector, who just had a significant portion of his collection sold at auction, including the Mikazuki Kanemitsu. There are also NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers, further authenticating the signature, with a note on the rear that the sword was submitted for Tokubetsu Hozon by Paul Davidson. The sword measures 1 shaku 8 sun 2 bu (approximately 55.1cm or 21 - 3/4”) in the classic shinogi zukuri form with an iori mune and chu kissaki. The jigane is an extremely tight ko-itame, with some scattered chikei, while the hamon is an excellent choji in the koto Bizen style, with a midare komi boshi and nie based activity, including sunagashi and kinsuji. Two piece gold foil habaki with a carved surface. Nakago with ha agari nakagojiri and kesho yasurime, dated Bunsei 5 and signed “Suishinshi Amahide” with his hot stamp at the end of the nakago. The mounts are a saya with a fine nashiji ground in red and black, with well worked iron comprising a koijiri, a tsuba with pierced dragon design, fuchi and kashira with a dragon whirling through clouds, kashira with an extremely interesting raised and pierced design, and menuki in the form of melons. The tsuka-ito is brown and the same has been dyed black. CONDITION: Excellent, in polish, with some very minor superficial handling marks. Mounts very good with some handling marks and rubs, with some crazing to the lacquer, most notable at slots for kozuka and kogai and along the supine edge. Not only is Masahide an outstanding swordsmith in his own right, his students numbered over 100, and many of swordsmiths today can trace back to Masahide, making him an indelible asset to the sword world, and his blades very rarely come to market. 15,000 - 25,000

Naoe Shizu was founded by Kanetomo, Kanetsugu, and Kanenobu, three students of the legendary Kaneuji, who studied under Masamune. On the nakago is a ginzogan recording of a three body test cut that reads (translated): “On the 18th day of the twelfth month of Joo one in Amagasaki in Settsu, Mozume Kyubi cut through three bodies (monogram)”. Owning a body test cut sword became a point of pride especially during the Edo period, but only especially wealthy daimyo could afford to have it done in gold. Most likely, this sword was the prized sword of a country Daimyo who wanted to own a test cut sword and had the sword tested and test recorded. Two piece shakudo foiled habaki. PROVENANCE: This sword has been in a private collection since the early 1950s and has not been offered on the collector market before. CONDITION: Very good, in an old polish, with some features obfuscated by the state of the polish. There are a few spots of looseness to the steel as befits a sword more than six hundred years old. Evidence of a well executed repair at the boshi, which does not detract. 15,000 - 25,000

1319 - RAI KUNIZANE KATANA WITH TOBUKETSU HOZON PAPERS Blade Length: 2 shaku 8 bu Overall Length: 35 - 1/2” Fujishiro records Rai Kunizane as working circa 1352 and as the son of Rai Kunitoshi, one of the Rai schools preeminent smiths; he further notes that Kunizane works are rare. Other sources speculate that he was a student of Kunitoshi and the younger brother of Rai Kunimitsu; in both scenarios, he was clearly a member of the prestigious Rai school. The Rai school is a member of the Yamashiro tradition, which prospered around Kyoto, making swords for court nobles and imperial families, who appreciated their refined taste.

Blade Length: 1 shaku 7 sun 6 bu Overall Length: 31” Bizen Sukesada was a name used by several generations, and while the record of the NBTHK Hozon papers does not name the generation, choosing simply to state “Shinto”, the work is of exceptional quality. It measures 1 shaku 7 sun 6 bu (approximately 53.3cm or just under 21”), and has a toran-midare hamon of repeating choji in groups of three heads with excellent nie activity including sunagashi and tobiyaki, giving the feeling of a surging waves.

1321 - KANEMOTO KATANA REMOUNTED IN WORLD WAR II MOUNTS FOR WARTIME USE, WITH FAMILY CREST ON HANDLE. Blade Length: 69cm Overall Length: 41” The fame of the Kanemoto name can be traced to Magoroku Kanemoto, who is rated Saijosaku for his outstanding skill and Saijo Owazamono for supreme cutting ability. His fame is such that many successive generations were able to benefit from his reputation, and the style of hamon that he developed, a style reminiscent of cedar trees called Sanbonsugi, became invariably associated with Mino swordsmiths. This example is a later generation, but is obviously inspired by the nidai, has a 69cm nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form, with a stretched chu-kissaki. Jigane is largely masame, with areas of stretched itame and mokume burls. Nie based activity in the ha, including sunagashi and short kinsuji.

With the leather combat cover for both saya and handle.

Mounts excellent with some handling marks; cord for holding sword knot is torn, leather with some handling marks and scuffs but supple. 3,000 - 5,000

1324 - GOTO MITSUTAKA FUCHI KASHIRA WITH GOTO JOSHIN SHISHI DOGS, EX. SWEDLOW COLLECTION The first three generations of Goto are regarded as the original masters of the mainline school, however, they are also known never to sign their works. Because of this, an idea was created that the later generation masters appraised and repaired the works of the older masters. They achieved this by either providing an origami stating this fact, or signing the attribution directly on the piece, as in this case. According to this signature, the main subject of these pieces were made by the third master, Goto Joshin, and, most likely, were remounted as a fuchi kashira by Goto Mitsutaka, the thirteenth master. Mitsutaka is also known as the best Goto master for attributing previous masterpieces. This example depicts a pair of dancing shishi dogs in solid gold on a finely executed nanako ground with gold rims. This attribution places the shishi dogs as circa the 1500s. This is accompanied by a precious Tokubetsu Kicho origami from the NBTHK showing the provenance of the famous Swedlow collection. David Swedlow was a famous Japanese art collector who specialized in high end tosogu and inro, and his pieces were featured in several books. In an old paulownia wood box with royal purple pillow and lining. CONDITION: Excellent, with some errant handling marks that do not detract. Fuchi measures 2.1cm wide, 3.8cm long, and 1.2cm tall, kashira measures approximately 8mm tall (not counting the shishi dog) 3.3cm long and 1.5cm wide.

1325 - ARAKI TOMEI FUCHI KASHIRA WITH DESIGNS ON MILLET ON A NANAKO GROUND Araki Tomei was a late Edo period (1817-1870) tosogu maker who worked in Kyoto. He apprenticed under the famous Goto Tojo, who reputedly gave him the “to” kanji in his name, and under Goto Ichijo, after which he changed his name to Issai. After his apprenticeships, he set up his own business at the age of 30. He was partiuclary famous for his designs of ripe millet, and he designed his own punch to help cut the heads of the pods. This set of fuchi kashira utilizes this morif, and depicts ripe millet pods on stems, executed with gold and copper highlights on a fine nanako ground. The base metal is shakudo, and the fuchi is signed “Issai Tomei (Kao)”, indicating that they date from after he set out on his own. In a paulownia wood box with a royal purple pillow and lining. Fuchi measures approximately 2.1cm x 3.8cm and 9mm tall, while the kashira measures 1.6cm wide, 3.5cm long, and approximately 6mm tall. The inside of the kashira has a red “146” lacquer marking, indicating that it was once part of a museum collection. CONDITION: Excellent, with fabulously cut millet and nanako ground, with some very mild handling marks that do not detract. An outstanding set of fuchi kashira from one of the great Bakumatsu makers; there is at least one set of Tokubetsu Juyo fittings by Tomei, which speaks to his incredible skill. 1,500 - 2,500

Blade Length: Various Overall Length: Various Thomas Ellin & Co. was one of many Sheffield firms that helped establish Britain’s reputation for superior iron and steel manufacturing during the Victorian era. As a prominent Sheffield cutlery firm, Thomas Ellin & Co. participated as an exhibitor at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, where they received an Honorable Mention for their display. Based at the Sylvester Works in Sheffield, the company showcased a variety of specialized cutlery and steel products aimed at various trades. The frame of this display features a plaque at the bottom that reads “FRANK E. FARMERY / CABINET & SHOWCASE MAKER / SHEFFIELD.”. Frank Farmery (1866-1927) is listed on the 1881 census as a cabinet maker at the age of 15 and again on the 1891 census as a cabinet maker at age 25. This stunning display likely dates to the late Victorian era/turn of the century and features over 100 pieces of cutlery laid out in exhibition grade manner. The company’s legacy continued into the early 20th century, when Thomas R. Ellin won a Gold Medal for artisan tools at the 1906 New Zealand International Exhibition. Due to its stunning appearance, it is likely that this display was used during the the 1906 New Zealand exhibition to assert their dominance as a prominent Sheffield-based cutlery manufacturer. The exhibition board showcases the firm’s capabilities by displaying a variety of cutlery including folding knives for various uses, scissors, razors, table ware, utility knives, etc. Each is numbered so they can be referenced in a catalog. Many blades exhibit the firm’s “VULCAN” marking. All exhibit varying degrees of light patina. The scissors act as a panoply of arms in a medieval castle, as they surround a mirror which displays the company’s logo. The board is complete and all pieces remain firmly secured. Frame exhibits wear and a few cracks and scuffs but remains intact and sturdy. Consigner states that this exhibition board was displayed at A.G. Russell’s office for many years. A commanding piece still worthy of exhibit. CONDITION: Very good. 15,000 - 25,000

Manufacturer: Parker Model: GHE Serial No. 177207 Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Drop at Comb: 1 - 9/16”+ Drop at Heel: 2 - 11/16” Length of Pull: 14 - 3/16” Barrel Wall Thickness: (BOTH) .028 Chamber: 2 - 3/4” Choke: (L) .014 (Modified) (R) .005 (Improved Cylinder) Gauge: 12 Gauge Internal Bore Diameter: (L) .730 (R) .731 Weight: 6 lbs 12 oz (1917) What at first glance appears to be a standard “GHE” with 28” barrels, non-automatic safety, double triggers, and capped pistol grip stock; a closer look reveals augmentation of standard engraving pattern with an additional 50 - 60% coverage of a floral motif with leaves and tendrils filling most areas not taken up by standard engraving. This gun, in “as found” condition appears to have a high percentage of original finish, and this extra engraving is under the finish on action. This floral treatment extends onto the barrels with 2 - 1/2” triangles at breech ends and added sprays at tops and bottoms of muzzles. It also appears on top lever, top tang of action, and on trigger guard. To add to the mystery a Remington repair code of March 1949 is on barrel flats. Stock finish appears original, but is possibly redone a while ago as checkering is a bit worn. A Parker letter might shed some light, although this serial number is not listed in ledger. Otherwise, the standard “G” engraving consists of pairs of birds on sides, as well as pheasant on trigger plate. Buttstock is of nicely figured American walnut and measures 14 - 3 /16” over Parker dogs head buttplate with spur. Silver shield on bottom is engraved “H W S”. Matching splinter ejector forend has typical release and patent date on iron. CONDITION: As stated above, barrels appear to have most of an old re-black. Action has 70-80% color, and stocks have most of their finish. Bores are fine, frosted, and also dirty. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. 3,000 - 5,000 212

1402 - (A) CASED HOLLAND & HOLLAND BACK ACTION SIDE BY SIDE 12 BORE PARADOX DOUBLE RIFLE. Manufacturer: Holland & Holland Model: Paradox Serial No. 11510 Caliber/Bore: 12 Bore Barrel Length: 28 - 1/8” FFL Status: Antique

An included 2017 Holland & Holland archival letter with factory record scan indicates this gun was completed November 4th, 1886. An additional letter by Roger Lake, co-author of “Paradox: The Story of Colonel G.V. Fosbery, Holland & Holland and the Paradox Rifled Shot and Ball Gun” indicates it was the 14th paradox rifle by Holland & Holland, constructed in July 1886, and the earliest extant gun he was aware of. The gun shipped to W.R. Furnace. Walter Rogers Furnace of Philadelphia was born in 1861 as the son of famed Shakespeare scholar H.H. Furnace. The fun loving young man inherited considerable wealth from the estate of his grandfather in 1883, using some of his wealth to join the Jekyll Island Club in 1886 where he hunted extensively over the next decade, almost assuredly putting this gun to good use. Based on Fosbery’s patent the Damascus 12 bore barrels of this paradox gun have a rifled choke at the muzzle, allowing the gun to also accurately be used with ball ammunition as an express rifle. The flat dolls head rib is engraved “HOLLAND & HOLLAND. 98 NEW BOND STREET. LONDON.” “WINNERS OF ALL THE “FIELD” RIFLE TRIALS.” and “PARADOX / FOSBERY PATENT”. The rib has an engraved doll’s head extension with bands of engraving at the breeches. Rib is mounted with a blade front sight and 2-leaf slip up express sights graduated at “50” and “100”, the “100” leaf lined. Tight scroll engraved round body back action lock with top lever, rebounding hammers, and double triggers. Lock plates are engraved “HOLLAND & HOLLAND”. Checkered walnut splinter forend with engraved Deeley style release. Stock is handsomely figured walnut with checkered straight grip, double line European cheek piece, and steel widow’s peak butt plate. Gun is housed in a later vintage leather wrapped case with “J.G.G.C” initials on the lid and aged replica trade label. Gun is also accompanied by a pair of snap caps, oil bottle, 2-piece wiping rod, cleaning tools, as well as loading components including a steel regulator, Holland & Holland marked brass fixer, RCBS mold, cast paradox balls, wadding, and paper hull casings. CONDITION: Very good. Barrels have been cleaned to a gray patina with patterning evident. Action has a mellow dove gray patina throughout. Right breech has been refaced, the left with some oxidation spotting. Lockup is tight as restored. Stocks are fine as restored by “The Stock Doctor” to an attractive gloss finish with scant handling marks. Butt plate has some fading wiped on blue. Bores have defined paradox rifling with some expected cleaned black powder spotting throughout. Fine mechanics. Case displays well although shows some expected age and evidence of use. 8,000 - 12,000

2010 - THE FINANCIER OF THE REVOLUTION: ROBERT MORRIS FAMILY ARCHIVE, SIGNED NOTE, DESCENDANT BADGES. Family archive consists of seven items consigned by a direct descendant and coming down through the family of Founding Father Robert Morris (1734-1806,) signer of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, and eventual Superintendent of Finance for the U.S. His business acumen, financial, and commercial experience, personal connections, and even personal credit were life-saving to the birth of the United States. Intimate friends with President George Washington, whom he hosted during visits to Philadelphia, he later gave over his house for Washington’s use as an Executive Mansion while President. Aware of the importance of maritime trade and supply networks, he oversaw the founding of the Continental Navy and with Benjamin Franklin was key in getting French financial, logistical, and finally direct military support. He recommended Alexander Hamilton for Secretary of the Treasury and along with Hamilton was a founder of the US financial and banking system. This is a seldom offered opportunity to acquire material directly from the family of a key figure in the history of the United States. (A) August 1796 note signed by Morris, “Sir, I have received your letter of 29th ultimo- Your draft of the 24 June for $1000 was paid yesterday and all pending ones were regularly discharged as will those which are becoming due. I am Sir / Your obedt Servant / Robt. Morris.” Framed with engraved portrait. A note with direct connection to Morris’s financial interests. (B) Dec. 1794 retained copy, signed and docketed by Morris, of a letter directing the firm of Galbreath & Elmes, “to import prints for me.” The subject matter included both historical and literary subjects, giving insight into Morris’s taste and education. He is specific about the particular artists on whose work the prints were based, that the prints had been taken, “before the plates were injured by ware” [sic,] and gives directions for framing. Subjects included Cromwell dissolving parliament, the Surrender of Calais, and various Shakespearean scenes from “Lear,” “As You Like It,” and “Romeo & Juliet.” (C) Gilt wood framed pen and ink drawing, “The Hills- Robert Morris’ Country Estate 1770-1798.” Ink note on reverse by Grace Morris Poe, Great-Great-Granddaughter of Morris, that it was copied from a published contemporary woodcut. (D) Gilt wood framed 1862 engraving of Morris by Johnson, Fry & Co. from a painting by Alonzo Chappel, facsimile signature. Black ink family notes lower reverse edge of frame, partially effaced. (E) Framed drawing, “SE Cor. 6th and High StreetsExecutive Mansion 1790-1800, Houses [sic] owned by Robert Morris.” Purchased by Morris in 1780, the house was frequently visited by Washington and leased to the US by Morris as the third of the official Executive Mansions, inhabited by Washington 1790-97 and then by Adams 1797-1800. (F) Sons of the American Revolution badge, engraved reverse: “Henry Morris M.D. May 13th 1889.” (G) Society of the Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence badge. Engraved reverse: “LUCIE MARSHALL MORRIS TINSLEY / 153.” Dr. Henry Morris (b.1855) and Lucy Marshall Morris Tinsley, (b.1866) were brother and sister, great-grandchildren of Robert Morris. CONDITION: Excellent overall. Slight wear to SAR medal ribbon. A very nice, coherent, family archive from a key figure in Revolution and the history of the country. 3,000 - 5,000

2011 - REVOLUTIONARY WAR LOGISTICS: HENRY GLEN, BOATS AT SARATOGA, SCHENECTADY AND ALBANY. Letter by Henry Glen (1739-1814) to Philip Van Rensselaer datelined Schenectady 26th March 1777 regarding a contract for equipping supply boats. An early settler, Glen became a successful merchant giving him experience in business and the transportation of goods in particular. Letter regards a contract for tools, i.e. oars, sitting poles, etc., for 150 boats at Albany, Saratoga and Schenectady. Glen was reportedly also a captain in the Schenectady militia, member of the Committee of Safety, and of the Provincial Congress, with later service also in the army’s Quartermaster Department. Van Rennselaer, also a merchant with considerable political connections and organizational talent, is referred to variously as store keeper, military store keeper and commissary for the Northern Department. An interesting insight into the sinews of war- money, supplies, and logistics. 1p. 8 - 1/4 X 12 in. CONDITION: Excellent. 500 - 1,000

2012 - 1780 INSPECTION RETURN 3RD MASS. REGT. AND PA. MILITIA FINES. Lot consists of two items: A) “Inspection return of the 3d Massachusetts Regiment of Foot Commanded by John Greaton October 6th 1780.” 13” by 16 - 1/4” CONDITION: Good. Minor fading, foxing. Old tape repair to center fold. Full return of officers, NCOs, rank and file, with numbers absent on various duties, those “fit for action,” etc. with notes also on arms on hand, number of bayonets and number of cartridge boxes. An invaluable insider’s look at a Continental Army regiment. B) “The State of Pennsylvania on Account with John Hubley Capn.1st Compy. 8th Batt. Lanr. Coy. Militia” 1p. 8 - 1/2 x 16 - 1/2 in. Two columns dated May and June 1780: an account of money collected by Hubley as fines and then paid to Col. Ross. These were likely cash fines for delinquencies in arms or equipment by men in Hubley’s militia company noted as occurring on two different Mondays in May, likely regular inspections, and at the end of May on a “Field day.” A contrast to the discipline evident in the strict accounting of the Continental Army return. CONDITION: Very Good. 500 - 1,000

2013 - TIMOTHY PICKERING AS SECRETARY OF STATE 1798 AND 1800. Lot consists of two items relating to Timothy Pickering (1745-1829) as Secretary of State. A) Autograph letter signed, marked “private,” dated Jan. 2, 1800 at Philadelphia, 2pp, 8 X10 in. bifold. Addressed to David Lenox, US agent posted to Britain “for the relief and protection of American Seamen.” Lenox apparently thought Pickering was involved in some effort to decrease his salary or impede his compensation for necessary expenses and Pickering writes to disabuse him of the idea. CONDITION: Very good, one short tear on fold and hole from paper adhering to seal on blank back page. B) DS as Secretary of State with white impressed seal, April 10, 1798, 2p. 8 x 10 in. Affidavit by Pickering certifying the accuracy of a copy of a deposition on file with his office. 1,000 - 2,000

2015 - 1747 KING GEORGE’S WAR BILL OF EXCHANGE BY WILLIAM SHIRLEY TO WILLIAM PITT. Boston Dec. 21, 1747, letter by William Shirley addressed to “William Pitt Esqr. Paymaster General of His Majesty’s Land Forces; or, to the Paymaster General for the time being.” He presents a bill for L200 Sterling for paying Edward Jackson for discharging NCOs and Private Men “of the state regiment under the command of Colonel Joseph Dwight,” raised for “the late intended expedition against Canada.” Boldly signed W. Shirley. Governor of Massachusetts Bay at the time, Shirley was largely responsible for the taking of Louisburg in 1745. Anticipated 1746 expeditions against Quebec and Fort St. Frederick, however, failed to gain necessary support from London and were called off. Shirley’s issue of paper currency and his own commercial ventures produced accusations of incompetence and corruption, and he spent roughly four years back in England starting in 1749 trying to put such matters to rest. 7 - 1/2 x 9 in. CONDITION: Very good. 500 - 1,000

Jersey…” promising not to give or receive information about American forces, positions, etc. and await “proper passports from the Commissary of Prisoners.” They also promise not to carry their servants to New York until they are exchanged or obtain permission for it. Hoakesley was an Albany merchant who “went over” to the British, had a ship confiscated as a result, was a wagonmaster under Burgoyne and later protested inadequate provisions for the captured British. Collyer was a Commissary, though his subscription as “A.D.C.” may indicate he held a position on a general’s personal staff. Both men are mentioned in the Washington papers. 1 p. 8-1/2 x 12 in.

2017 - GEORGE WASHINGTON PEACE MEDAL DATED 1793. During George Washington’s presidency, several styles of these medals were created and given to Native leaders. Native Peace medals were produced by the United States government and given to Native leaders in the course of the nation’s negotiations with the multitude of tribes that owned the land coveted by the national and state governments. This silver George Washington Indian Peace Medal exhibits a raised rim on both sides. Appears unmarked. Obverse illustrates a uniformed George Washington at the right, standing, sharing a peace calumet, and having just given it to a Native Chief at the left, who is smoking it and wearing a peace medal around his neck. A pine tree behind the Native and a tomahawk at his feet, along with a farmer ploughing in the fields in the background behind Washington, inscribed “GEORGE WASHINGTON / PRESIDENT 1793” below. The collage is representative of the central justification of American policy toward Native tribes, contrasting the Euro-American definition of civilization with a perceived Native condition of savagery showing agriculture versus hunting, settlement versus nomadism, war versus peace, and ultimately, assimilation versus tribalism. Reverse illustrates the seal of the United States of America featuring a spread-winged eagle with a shield on its breast, and holding an olive branch and a bundle of thirteen arrows. The eagle carries a ribbon banner in its beak inscribed “E PLURIBUS UNUM” with a constellation of thirteen stars in a random pattern surrounding the eagle’s head. Rays of light are breaking through a cloud above. 59.18mm wide, 82.55mm tall, and 4.27mm Thick loop at top for suspension. The medal exhibits an even patina throughout with one repair at bottom center and repair to the suspension loop. This medal is housed in a vitrine. CONDITION: Good. 1,500 - 3,000

This silver George Washington Indian Peace Medal exhibits a raised rim on both sides. Appears unmarked. Obverse illustrates a uniformed George Washington at the right, standing, sharing a peace calumet, and having just given it to a Native Chief at the left, who is smoking it and wearing a peace medal around his neck.

Rays of light are breaking through a cloud above. Measures 66.70mm wide, 89.97mm tall, 5.69mm thick. Loop at top for suspension. The medal exhibits an pleasing patina throughout with strong motifs. It is interesting that the original 1795 version of the medal incorporated fifteen stars instead of thirteen, due to the admission of Vermont and Kentucky into the Union, however, this version has only twelve stars.

2040 - LOT OF 2: DOCUMENTED JEREMIAH SNOW ATTRIBUTED SABER WITH SILVER SPOON WITH HIS TOUCHMARK. Blade Length: 34” Overall Length: 39 - 1/2”

The 250th Anniversary of our Nation

Jeremiah Snow, Sr. worked about 1760-1800 and was a Massachusetts silversmith who is known to have produced both horseman’s sabers and short sabers in the Revolutionary era and after. For another example by this maker, see 192.S on pg. 125 of “Swords and Blades of the American Revolution” by George Neumann. For more information on this maker and to see a signed J. Snow example with this hilt, see pgs. 264-268 of “American Silver-Hilted Revolutionary and Early Federal Swords Volume I” by Daniel D. Hartzler. Jeremiah Snow III lived between 1735 and 1803 and was born in Boston and worked in Charlestown, Massachusetts. “Because of the desire for personal sidearms during the Revolutionary War, he turned to making brass cavalry swords for the Patriots”, Hartzler states. After the war, he moved to Springfield, Massachusetts. This saber has been attributed to Snow, by virtue of the distinctive form of its brass, stirrup-hilt with open, side-loop to the right side of the counterguard, as well as the use of a three-fuller Spanish style blade. However, unlike most of his known sabers, which have urn-shaped pommels, this saber’s pommel is olive or ovoid-shaped, with faceted capstan. The grip is unchanneled and appears to be of straight-grain maple with brass ferrules at each end (each with 3 lines of edge engraving around them). The saber is accompanied with a silver tablespoon by Snow, bearing his “I.SNOW” touchmark in a rectangular cartouche on the recto of the handle and the owner’s initials “BM” in a cursive cipher on the obverse. Take note that the touch mark on the spoon is identical to that used on his swords and the example in Hartzler’s book mentioned above. CONDITION: The blade retains a grey patina with a few “battle” nicks to cutting edge. Hilt retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. This sword is illustrated and discussed on pp. 190-191 of “For Liberty I Live.” 2,000 - 4,000

We find no other viable candidates in available Mass, NY or CT French and Indian War records and Rhode Island companies are noted as present at both Forts Edward and William Henry in the 1756 campaign, with their Regimental Quartermaster specifically noted as posted at William Henry. Construction on that fort had begun in 1755 in the wake of the Battle of Lake George as a base for operations against the French at Crown Point.

In Connecticut’s Defense (1777–1781) as a member of the Goshen Volunteers, Hart likely participated in local defense against British raids. The Danbury Raid and Battle of Ridgefield.

2080 - (A) RARE DUBLIN CASTLE ROYAL ARTILLERY CARBINE. Manufacturer: Dublin Castle Model: Royal Artillery Carbine Caliber/Bore: .69 Smootbore Barrel Length: 37” FFL Status: Antique A Revolutionary War Dublin Castle Royal Artillery Carbine. This is an exceedingly rare Artillery Carbine circa 1776 marked to the 3rd battalion of the Royal Artillery. Royal artillery units were armed with light carbines for defence of the batteries and trains. Elements of the 3rd battalion were joined with the 4th to create the Brigade of Artillery for British Forces in North America. The carbines were issued with a 9 round white leather cartridge box . This gun has a 37 inch .65 calibre barrel, without baluster molding and a Pattern 1777 Dublin Castle extra flat carbine lock, as also used on the Royal Foresters carbine. The barrel bears the well worn engraving “ROYL ARTILLERY”, “3 B” and a proof mark. It also has viewers’ initials “I C”. In keeping with variations often observed in Dublin Castle guns, this example has an original unique side plate that is between the Royal Foresters 1776 pattern carbine side plate and 1745 Lord Loudon model. The stock is inletted for the plate. The musket has four ramrod pipes. CONDITION: Barrel retains a brown patina with worn markings and pitting at breech. Lock retains a sark patina, markings excellent and in its original flintlock configuration. Cock screw likely an accurate replacement. Brass retains a mostly dark mustard patina. The topmost ramrod ferrule is a contemporary replacement along with several inches of wood to the second pipe. The three original pipes show wear from ramrod use. The last pipe has a spring to hold the later iron ramrod. The lock has been tightened during its period of use with two small square nails. A small piece replaced above front lock tang. The gun saw extensive use. By 1776 artillery troops in America were down to about 2/3rds of their carbines. The Pattern 1776, was rushed into production. It used a steel ramrod and furnished with an improved lock and an overall length of 52 1/8 in. The current example is probably from the earliest produced given the position of its proof marking on the barrel. A detachment from the 3rd Battalion fought at Saratoga and likely at most other battles in the revolution where British artillery played a significant role. 5,000 - 10,000

2081 - (A) RARE FRENCH MODEL 1763/66 MARINE MUSKET. Manufacturer: French Model: 1763/66 Marine Caliber/Bore: .75 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 44” FFL Status: Antique See page 114 of Don Troiani’s “Soldiers of the American Revolution” for a painting of French Marine with musket and page 117 for photo and description of this model French Marine Musket. See “Military Collector and Historian Magazine, Fall 2005” for article by James L. Kochan titled ”The French Corps of Marine Infantry and Bombadiers in the American Revolutionary War 1778-1783: Diverse Notes and Artifacts.” The article has a good picture and description of the 1766 musket and history. It also emphasizes the scarcity of any related artifacts. The 1763/66 Marine Muskets are extremely rare with only about 5 known to exist, all in America. It is unknown how many were produced. The pattern was forgotten to history until recent research by a French military historian. The 1766 Marine Musket was replaced in 1777 by a new pattern. The 1766 is similar to the 1766 Infantry musket except it has brass furniture which is lighter than the iron furniture on the Infantry muskets and the stock is also more slender. A report from the French Division Brest reports the 1766 Muskets were unserviceable a year after issue. Whether they were in bad shape when issued is unknown but it is very likely that the lighter build was unsuitable for rugged sea service. All remaining Pattern 1766 muskets were gifted or sold to the American allies once the newer pattern was available. This explains why there are fewer surviving weapons and the fact they are all in America. It has an oil cut on bottom tail of lock, a sharpened rammer, and the swivels are remove, all of which are evidence of American use. The round iron barrel has a bayonet stud on top towards muzzle. The 1766 lock has a flat plate, flat cock, and bridled pan and has no visible markings. The back of interior lockplate has “BG” proof mark. The butt plate, trigger guard, and side plate are brass. The sideplate appears to be an old replacement. The bow of trigger guard is stamper with a “V”. The top and bottom barrel bands are brass, and holed so they can be pinned to the stock. The center band is iron in order to hold a sling swivel and is also pinned. The walnut stock lighter in construction than a standard 1766 musket. Behind the sideplate the stock is marked with a small “X” over large” V” and the right of butt tock has an “IL” brand. The 1766 Marine Musket in plate 29 in Rex Kessler’s book “Continental Arsenal Marks and Stamps” has the exact same proof brand on the stock. Also see pages 110-133 for photos of 1766 French Marine Musket with US surcharges and same marks on the stock. CONDITION: All iron components have a dark heavy patina with scattered pitting throughout. Some screws replaced. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration, touchhole rebushed. Lock does not function. Brass retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. The wood is all present, has no splits, but expected handling marks and a small chip in front of lock. Possible original trumpeted ramrod, which is sharpened for possible use as a spit. A very rare American used Revolutionary War musket. 5,000 - 10,000

Neumann states that about 25,000 were produced and that this arm is considered among the arms supplied by France to the American rebels. In the April 12, 2022 American Rifleman article titled “Cavalry Arms of the American Revolution” by Don Troiani, he states: “The Continental Dragoons used what carbines they could get, whether through captures from the British, locally made arms or a few supplied by the French. There is at least one Model 1733 French Carbine branded “United States”. This example has American initials “IH” carved on the left side of the buttstock. This example is of standard Model 1733 configuration with a faceted portion towards the breech transitioning into round a few inches in front of the rear sight. There is a small front blade sight. The lock is a period American replacement using an early British lock marked “J / HORTON”.

2087 - (A) FINE BRITISH SILVER MOUNTED FLINTLOCK OFFICER’S PISTOL OF JOHN COLLET WHO SAW EXTENSIVE ACTION IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. Manufacturer: Gabbitas Model: Officer Caliber/Bore: 8” Barrel Length: .60 Smoothbore FFL Status: Antique This pistol was purchased form the North Carolina collection of William Ivey and is marked “CHOLLETT” on the wrist escutcheon. The pistol is attributed to John Abraham Collett. According to an article on him by William P. Cumming (1979), Collett was a Swiss map maker, captain in the British army and governor of Fort Johnston located in North Carolina. He served in six Campaigns during the Seven Years War (1756-63). In May 1767, George III appointed him army captain and governor of Fort Johnston at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. In 1767, he made a complete snap of North Carolina from an actual survey. He found the fort in “ruinous condition”. Collett appointed Robert Howe as second in command at the fort. Before the end of the year in 1770, Collett drew a plan of the fort and made a detailed report on the necessary repairs to make it defensible. According to Cumming, “He took this to New York to petition Tryon for funds with no success. Collet returned to England in 1770 and presented his manuscript to the king, who sponsored the engraved version that Collet published in 1770 at an actual loss, he wrote later, of five hundred pounds. “A Complete Map of North-Carolina,” 28 5/8 × 431/2 inches on a scale of 13 3/4 miles to an inch, was beautifully engraved by I. Bayly and published by S. Hooper. One of the finest provincial maps of the colonial period, it became the basis for the northern half of Henry Mouzon’s “North and South Carolina” (1775) and of all other maps of North Carolina until the Price-Strother map of 1808. In the summer of 1772, with disturbing reports from America, the secretary of war, Lord Barrington, ordered him back to resume his post at Fort Johnston. Reaching North Carolina early in 1773, Collet found the fort in worsened condition. With the approval of Tryon’s successor, Governor Josiah Martin, he undertook to improve and strengthen the fortifications. He showed more zeal than caution and diplomacy, and Dartmouth, Lord Privy Seal, refused government aid for repairs made only “for the security and convenience of commerce of the colony.” Unwisely, Collet went ahead; he had expended his own patrimony, and he went heavily into debt. He recruited in New York and transported to the fort fifty men for garrison; he improved the ramparts, built officers’ quarters and two barracks for soldiers, bought timber and flagging, and made a hundred thousand bricks. The colonists looked upon these activities with growing suspicion and anger. Although Martin pressured the house of assembly into voting for part of Collet’s expenditures, the money was not paid. By 1775, Collet was “harassed by every means the Americans could devise.” They bribed his garrison to desert, finally leaving him with only three or four on whom he could rely of a remaining twelve, and they hindered him from obtaining food and provisions. Infuriated and goaded into rashness, he confiscated the grain on a vessel wrecked nearby, that of Captain Alexander McGregor. Despite Martin’s advice, he kept the grain and contemptuously tore up a writ served on him from the office of the attorney general of the province. These incidents formed the chief accusations in an inflammatory “Letter of the People” to Governor Martin, published 10 July 1775. Since March, increasing rumors of a planned attack on the fort came to the ears of the governor and of Collet; by 15 July the patriot Robert Howe, Collet’s predecessor at the fort, was on the way with a troop of militia to take the fort. The governor had taken refuge on the armed sloop Cruizer offshore from the fort; he ordered the removal of the fort’s cannon, sent by General Gage, as the ammunition had not yet arrived. Collet hastily loaded all the military supplies onto a small transport; on 19 July he saw from the transport a large rebel force enter the fort and destroy all the buildings. They burned his house and stables adjacent to the fort and looted his horses, cattle, carriages, furniture, and other property at a loss, he later claimed, of fifty-nine hundred pounds. Collet sailed on 21 July to Boston, where he delivered his military cargo to Gage’s headquarters. He was immediately assigned to the recruitment and command of “several companies of Volunteers and Light Infantry”; within a month he had enlisted, paid bounty money for, clothed, and drilled 145 men, going into debt a further £1732. But by “an unforseen and cruel circumstance,” a new arrival from England, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Goreham, came with orders to raise a regiment, the Royal American Fencibles, into which Collet and his men were absorbed. Collet obtained revenge in North Carolina, however, in the southern campaign of 1776 under Sir Henry Clinton: he returned to the Cape Fear on 12 Mar. aboard the armed vessel General Gage and, landing with troops, “that pert little scoundrel” burned the mansion of William Dry in Brunswick; of his unfinished home three miles below Wilmington, William Hooper said, “That hopeful youth made a Bonfire of a country house of mine.” On 12 May two regiments under Clinton and Cornwallis landed and destroyed the house of Continental General William Howe, leader of the rebels who had burned the fort and Collet’s house. Sailing north to Nova Scotia under Goreham, Collet returned to New York with Sir William Howe and took part in the attacks on Long Island, the taking of New York, and skirmishes in the Jerseys and at Knightsbridge that fall. Again in Nova Scotia, he was in command of Fort Edward and then cabinet engineer of the general at Halifax. In 1778 he was appointed chief engineer, but rumors of his extravagance apparently prevented confirmation. He was at Fort Cumberland (1777–80) and Fort Howe (1781) in Nova Scotia and made a short campaign in Canada under General Frederick Haldimand.” A copy of the entire article with much more information on Collett is included. The pistol itself has a brass barrel with swamped muzzle. Top marked “GABBITAS BRISTOL” on top surrounded by a teardrop cartouche and scrolls engraved at the breech. The convex brass lockplate is marked “GABBITAS” in a banner in the center and is engraved with scrolls at the tail. Solid silver mounts including grotesque mask buttcap, triggerguard with chased arms finial and silver military sideplate with tower, arms and flags. The silver wrist escutcheon features chased arms motifs and is engraved “CHOLLET”. Walnut stock of attractive Georgian form with well-executed relief shell design carved around barrel tang. Complete with its horn ramrod with steel tip. CONDITION: Very good, overall. Barrel retains a pleasing mustard patina, excellent markings. Lock functions well and is in its original flintlock configuration. Lock retains a pleasing mustard patina, iron components light brown. Silver retains a mostly bright surface.

2088 - (A) PUBLISHED MINUTEMAN ASSOCIATED AMERICAN STOCKED QUEEN ANNE PATTERN 1703 DOG LOCK MUSKET BY NUTT. Manufacturer: W Nutt Model: 1703 Caliber/Bore: .82 Flintlock Barrel Length: 46” FFL Status: Antique This example is illustrated and described on pages 70-71 of “Evolution of the Brown Bess Musket: Early British Infantry Flintlocks in Context” by Dr. Jay Tartell. There are two other muskets known with Pattern 1703 furniture and locks, and both are identified to Revolutionary War Minutemen. The first is branded “J. DANFORTH” for Jonathan Danforth and is also stocked in cherry with the exact same buttstock form as this example, indicating that it was stocked by the same individual. The second other musket is also stocked in cherry and is inscribed “Tarrant Putnam ye 1775 / MaANSFLD Regt” on the sideplate. The lock on that musket is marked “W./ NUTT / 4”, the same maker as this example which is marked “W. / NUTT / 8”. The tapered round barrel features a bayonet lug on top towards the muzzle. The breech is marked with a star over “WN” for maker William Nutt, as well as partially visible crown over “AR” and another crown proofmark. The dog lock shows a partially defaced large crown over “AR” in the center along with two deeply-stamped crown over broad arrow proofs, denoting British government ownership. The tail is marked “W / NUTT / 8” (1708). The brass buttplate, triggerguard, sideplate and one ramrod ferrule are all from the original pattern 1703 musket, while the two foremost ramrod ferrules are American manufactured using sheet brass, as is the noseband. Cherry stock of distinct form, matching that of the Danforth Minuteman musket exactly. This is the third example of an American stocked Pattern 1703 that the cataloguer is aware of. With the other two being identified to Minutemen, it is very likely that this musket was used along side the others. CONDITION: Barrel retains a pleasing brown patina. Lock retains a matching patina, is in its original flintlock configuration, functions properly and has excellent markings other than the intentionally defaced cypher in the center. The brass retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. Stock shows minor marks from use, a couple age cracks and a thin sliver along barrel on right side. Iron ramrod appears to be its original. A very important New England stocked American musket. A copy of the book featuring this musket is included. 5,000 - 15,000

2089 - TWO DOCUMENTS: A) RECEIPT--A BRITISH OFFICER IS GRANTED LAND (1766) B) “THE SAVAGE GRANT” WASHINGTON’S VIRGINIA MILITIA RECEIVES THEIR LAND (1772) The description for the Virginia Treaty Gun by Wilson listed in this auction tells the story of Washington’s 1754 expedition to the Ohio Valley which marked the apex of aligned interests between the British and their American colonists. The British desire to expand the American colonies westward paralleled the ambitions of a group of Virginia gentry who sought large land holdings in these territories. The important documents in this lot tell more than just a story of how soldiers received land grants for their military service after the French & Indian War. They vividly demonstrate the rapid post-War divergence of interests between the two parties which helped create the conditions that led to the American War of Independence. The Ohio Company of Virginia was founded in 1747 by the land-owning gentry of Virginia, and received Royal grants for vast tracts of Ohio Valley territory if they successfully took control from the French and established trade with the mid-western Indian tribes. Two members of the Ohio Company figured prominently in this initiative--Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie issued the Proclamation of 1754 promising wages and land to all men who volunteered to go west with a militia to be led by George Washington. Washington marched his militia to Western Pennsylvania, where he wasted little time engaging the French and their Indian allies. At a forest clearing called “The Meadows”, Washington built a temporary fort dubbed Fort Necessity. Surrounded by a larger force of French soldiers and Indian allies firing from the surrounding woods, and with his gunpowder drenched by rain, Washington surrendered his entire force to the French. Despite thus starting the French & Indian War, and enduring his one and only complete surrender, Washington and his militia fared somewhat better in subsequent early actions of the War. With the end of the French & Indian War came British control of previously French Midwestern territories, and the British Proclamation of 1763. While specifying Canadian and Northeastern land rewards for British veterans of the War, this Proclamation prohibited mid-Western land procurement and settlement for the Colonists. Having expended large amounts of British blood and money during the War, the British were reluctant to further provoke the Indians and French settlers who still remained in the Ohio Valley. The Proclamation of 1763 therefore greatly prolonged fulfillment of land grants to Washington and his men as promised by Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754. Exacerbating hard feelings, Washington spent years futilely pursing a formal commission as a British Army officer. The first document in this lot is a 1766 receipt granting land in Canada to George Hales, a former sergeant of the 16th Regiment of Foot. The exact size of the parcel and the location away from the Ohio Valley were stipulations by “his Majesty’s Proclamation of the Seventh of October 1763”. As was common for British soldiers who received such land grants and did not wish to remain in North America, on the reverse of this document in 1767, Sergeant Hales signed his “X” mark, ceding his right to the land to an American colonial land speculator. Incredibly, this land speculator was named Christopher Roosevelt, an ancestral cousin of the two Presidents! The larger document of extraordinary importance in this lot is the actual document of “The Savage Land Grant” of 1772. In 1769 and 1770, Washington led a group on preparatory visits to evaluate Ohio Valley territories for a 1769 petition to the Virginia Council for himself and his soldiers to receive bounty lands promised by Governor Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754 (which is specifically cited in this document). By the end of 1769, Washington had received their guarantee of 200,000 acres to fulfill Dinwiddie’s promise. After he visited Mount Vernon in 1770 to meet Washington, Lieutenant John Savage, one of Washington’s officers at Fort Necessity was named first claimant on behalf of a group of 60 other Virginia Militia members from Washington’s 1754 campaign. Savage is the addressee and presumed custodian of this document. A subsequent series of surveys by Washington and his associates laid out the parcels for Washington and this group—the officers and soldiers dividing 28,627 acres spelled out in this document. Savage received 3,428 acres. The next four sergeants received 600 acres each. The next four corporals received 500 acres each. And the remaining 52 men (all privates) received 400 acres each. Washington himself separately received 20,000 nearby acres in four grants from the Council--10,990 acres, 4,395 acres, 2,448 acres, and 2.314 acres each—representing his bounty share of 15,000 acres as well as a purchase of 5,000 acres. The Savage Land Grant consisted of land along the Ohio River at the border between current West Virginia and Kentucky. This document spells out the boundaries of the parcels, with several physical landmarks listed as labelled with “GW” by Washington’s surveyors. John Savage and most of the grantees never settled their parcels. Some sold their rights and others lost their rights to the land because they failed to make required improvements. Nominally, this critical document tells the tale of Washington’s militia men belatedly collecting their bounty. But these were also the years of divergent interests—England was belatedly instituting the “taxation without representation” to pay for the evermore costly administration of the Colonies. In attempting to settle accounts, the fuse for Revolution was being lit. These two documents are illustrated along with related discussion in the book “Evolution of the Brown Bess Musket--Early British Flintlocks in Context” (pp 140-141). A copy of the book is included with this lot. 4,000 - 8,000

2090 - (A) VERY RARE BRITISH PATTERN 1730/40 FLINTLOCK BROWN BESS MUSKET WITH BATTLE OF WHITE PLAINS CAPTURE ATTRIBUTION. Manufacturer: Tower Model: 1730/40 Pattern Brown Bess Caliber/Bore: .80 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 46 - 1/8” FFL Status: Antique A letter accompanying this musket states that according to the previous consignor, the musket was picked up at the Battle of White Plains by a member of the Heald family. It was later given to the Dearborn family of New Hampshire, whose family not descended through. It then was part of the Chadwick-Gadler Collection. According to “The Brown Bess” by Goldstein and Mowbray, the Pattern 1730/40 is “Very Rare”. This musket is a transitional Pattern between the 1730 muskets and the 1742 muskets. This rare example has a Tower lock dated 1741, as does the example of this Pattern shown on pages 30-34 of the above referenced book. The musket has an attractive brass wrist repair that was carefully and masterfully applied using two brass bands and a series of blacksmith made iron pins. The bands go over the original wrist escutcheon. The barrel is marked in the center on top of the breech with Tower proofs and on the left side of the breech with “EI” for barrel maker Edward Jordan. It is also marked on the left side of the breech with a “24 / 4”. Tang stamped with a crown. The convex banana lockplate is marked “TOWER / 1741” on the tail and engraved with a large crown over “GR” in the center. There is a crown over broad arrow ordnance stamp below the pan, denoting British government ownership. The brass furniture is all of the 1742 pattern, the wrist escutcheon has punch dot initials, partially obscured by the top band of the wrist repair. The substantial stock has a large bulge on the handrail. Iron sling swivels. Right side of buttstock deeply stamped with very clear crown over intertwined “GR” storekeeper’s stamp. A clear crown over “10” stamped behind triggerguard and a “9” behind sideplate. Period iron ramrod. CONDITION: Very good overall. Barrel retains a light brown patina with good markings, some pitting at breech around touchhole. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration, functions well and has excellent markings. Brass retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. Stock very good with scattered marks from use and a small chip in front of lock tang. A very untouched and historic Revolutionary War American-captured Brown Bess Musket. 20,000 - 40,000

2091 - (A) IMPORTANT PUBLISHED OHIO COMPANY OF VIRGINIA TREATY MUSKET SUBSEQUENTLY OWNED BY VIRGINIA MILITIA SOLDIER WILLIAM FIELD (CIRCA 1754). Manufacturer: Wilson Model: Treaty Gun Barrel Length: 45 - 3/4” FFL Status: Antique Gauge: .54 Smoothbore Although other muskets with regimental provenance may be associated with important battles and campaigns, this extraordinary longarm from the first Virginia militia under George Washington’s command encompasses broader swaths of Colonial American history. Quite likely the only major material survivor of Washington’s 1754 Ohio Valley campaign against the French, this piece encapsulates Washington’s role in extending the American colonies westward, eventually leading to the conditions that set the stage for the American Revolution. Coinciding with British desires to extend American trade and colonial lands westward, in 1748, a group of wealthy Virginians formed the land speculation company that came to be known as “The Ohio Company of Virginia”. Investors in this new company included George Washington, his brothers, members of other early wealthy Virginia families including the Lees, Mercers, and Carters, as well as Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie himself. Receiving support of the Crown, these Virginians were granted several hundred thousand acres of land in the Ohio Valley, much of which was contingent on successful British fortification, settlement, and establishment of trade with the Indians there. However, these intentions set the British firmly on a collision course with the French, who already had well established alliances and trading ties with the Indians in the Midwest. Starting in 1750, the Ohio Company sent explorer and surveyor Christopher Gist on several expeditions to identify desirable Ohio Valley lands and foster relationships with the Indians. In 1753, Dinwiddie sent George Washington with Gist and a small party to intensify efforts to create alliances with the Indians, deliver a formal ultimatum to the French laying claim to the lands as British territory, and additionally gather intelligence on existing French forces and fortifications in the region. In 1754, Governor Dinwiddie issued a formal proclamation guaranteeing wages and Ohio Valley land grants to Virginians who would enlist in a militia to go west and procure territories. Proceeding west in 1754, the Virginia Militia would soon be placed under George Washington, who did not hesitate to engage and defeat a small French military scouting party at the Battle of Jumonville Glen near “The Forks” (the confluence of the major rivers in the Ohio Valley). Getting word from Indian scouts of an impending reprisal, Washington chose an open forest clearing near the Forks known as the Great Meadows to construct a temporary log stockade fort which the Virginians dubbed “Fort Necessity”. Joined by a volunteer regiment of redcoats, but lacking Indian allies willing to man this fort, Washington soon found his fort surrounded by a large force of French soldiers and hostile Indians. The tactically flawed decision to defend a forest clearing from concealed enemies firing from surrounding woods was compounded by rains which thoroughly soaked the British weapons and gunpowder. Thus forced to surrender his entire force to the French, Washington signed surrender papers in French whose terms unknowingly had GW admit to initiating hostilities. The French then generously allowed Washington and his men to return to Virginia with their equipment and weapons, whereupon Washington voluntarily resigned his militia officer’s commission. But Washington and his men had clearly initiated the actions resulting in what came to be known as the French & Indian War.

This example, made by Richard Wilson of London, had been erroneously sold at auction in 2014 as an Ohio Militia musket. This typically mid 18th century small caliber British gun would have been an unsuitable choice for Ohio and its militia, which were not formally established until the early years of the 1800’s. Through careful research, the purchaser from the auction put together the pieces of evidence suggesting this gun’s presumed role as an intended gift to an Indian Chief during Washington and his militia’s ill-fated 1754 expedition to the Ohio Valley. Although Indian motifs are sometimes engraved on metal furniture of mid-18th century British fusils and hunting guns, the high concentration of these motifs (bows, arrows, quivers, and war clubs) on this particular piece sets it apart, and suggests it as an early example of an Indian treaty gun. The lock engravings--”OHIO” (Iroquois word for “good river” or “great river”--or perhaps simply a reference to the Ohio Company) and “REGE PIUS” (possible Latin for “pious to the King”) represent motto’s that might hopefully resonate with a native American chief. Perhaps the ultimate corroborating link with Washington’s 1754 expedition is the name “Wm Field” engraved on the wrist escutcheon along with “JRL”, a presumed subsequent owner. The roster of approximately 160 men in Washington’s Virginia militia listed on the National Parks’ Fort Necessity website lists a William Field—a soldier who presumably had the good fortune of taking home this un-gifted treaty gun to use it for hunting. Indeed, William Field of Culpepper, Va is subsequently known to have served as a Captain under Col Wm Brent, seeing extensive action in multiple Rev War battles. Yet one last possible sign of this musket’s association with Washington is the fact the only long arm known to have descended from Washington—a similar vintage sporting arm with a 48” barrel was also made by Richard Wilson (The American Rifleman February, 1968). Delayed by the British Proclamation of 1763, the land promised to Washington’s Virginia militia by Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754 would not be fulfilled until 1772. That final promise was settled by “the Savage Grant”—that original grant document is also listed for sale in this auction. Having received his land grant separately, Washington’s surveying company is extensively described as surveyor for the plots in the Savage Grant. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a scarce George Washington-related longarm encompassing major historic landmarks which set the stage for the American War of Independence. This gun tells the story of early hard lessons learned in the American wilderness by the man who would later master military leadership, diplomacy, and the disposition to put country first. As important, this artifact was there for the start of the war which turned American colonists’ financial ambitions into liabilities for the British motherland. The resulting “taxation without representation” lit the smoldering fuse which would explode at Lexington-Concord. The gun itself features a tapered barrel with top flat transitioning to round. Flat marked “WILSON LONDON”. Left side of hooked breech marked with private London view and proof marks as well as “RW” below a star for maker Richard Wilson. The convex lock is marked “OHIO / REGE PIUS”. The brass furniture is profusely engraved with arms motifs and many Native American symbols including quivers, bows, arrows and headdress feathers. Pierced and chased sideplate with flors and quiver with arrows. The wrist escutcheon is engraved “Wm. FIELD / JRL”. The stock is of classic Georgian form and is carved with a relief shell around the barrel tang. The period wooden ramrod is slightly short. CONDITION: The barrel retains a brown patina, markings very good. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration, has a light grey patina and is somewhat pitted with markings partially worn. Brass retains a pleasing mustard patina. Stock shows some light we are and scattered marks from use. PROVENANCE: For additional detailed images of this musket and its associated history, see “Evolution of the Brown Bess Musket--Early British Flintlocks in Context” by Dr Jay Tartell, Track of the Wolf Publisher, 2024 (pages 114-122).

2092 - (A) IMPORTANT DOCUMENTED LAFAYETTE SHIPMENT MARKED AND “U. STATES” TRIPLE BRANDED FRENCH MODEL 1774 FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Manufacturer: St. Etienne Model: 1774 Caliber/Bore: .69 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 42 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This musket is pictured on page 139 of “Evolution of The Brown Bess Musket” by Dr. Jay Tartell. This important and historic musket is profusely marked with important Revolutionary War markings indicating both its substantial use by the Continental Army and that it was one of a shipment of muskets sent clandestinely to the United States and arriving in 1777 with Lafayette. There are two “U.STATES” brands on the bottom of the stock, one on both sides of the triggerguard. For another example of this brand, see plate 11 on page 66 of “Continental Arsenal Marks and Stamps” by Rex Kessler. The right side of the stock is also marked with a large “US”. For an example of a similar mark and font style, see plate 5 on pages 54 and 55 as well as page 180 (Perpetual Tilting MT) in the same publication. The example shown in the book with this mark on pages 54 and 55 is also a Model 1774 St. Etienne musket also with the same “Lf” mark on the lock attributed to being one of those that were shipped to the colonies by Lafayette. The musket also has a “US” stamped on the left side of the breech. There is an extensive and detailed article regarding these muskets on pages 59-76 in “The Gazette of the American Friends of Lafayette, No. 92, June 2020” titled “The Long Lost Guns of the Marquis de Lafayette” by Michael Geiger. This article can be found online and goes in depth with evidence regarding these important muskets. According to the article, Model 1774 French St. Etienne muskets are considered to have come to America with Marquis de Lafayette. Model 1774 parts have been unearthed at 1781 southern campaign campsites. The muskets are believed to have arrived with Lafayette in June of 1777 at Charleston, SC. For more information on this shipment and its documentation, see Charles Wilson’s 1910 publication “Firearms in American History” pages 2 and 114. This “Lf” marked example has a shorter 42” barrel than the standard 44-1/2” barrel on French government marked examples. All known examples with this “LF” markings have 42” dragoon length barrels. The barrel also has a bottom mounted bayonet lug snd is marked “US” on the left side of the breech. The lockplate is inscribed “Manufacture / de St. Etienne” in the center with stamped “Lf” above it. Standard government Model 1774 muskets are marked “Manufacture Royale de St. Etienne” and are stamped with a crown above “B” rather than “Lf”. The iron furniture is standard Model 1774 furniture and an iron ramrod. The walnut stock is standard for this model and is triple surcharged as noted in detail above. CONDITION: Barrel retains a dark heavy brown patina. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration and retains a dark brown patina, part of cock screw broken off during its period of use, action functions well and is strong. Iron furniture retains a dark brown patina. Stock shows some wear and scattered marks from use. A very important and well-marked example of a significant and exceedingly rare Revolutionary War longarm. A copy of the article regarding the Lafayette muskets as well as a copy of the book featuring this musket are included with this lot. 15,000 - 40,000

2093 - (A) 9TH REGIMENT OF FOOT MARKED DUBLIN CASTLE SHORT LAND PATTERN BROWN BESS MUSKET. Manufacturer: Dublin Castle Model: Short Land Pattern Caliber/Bore: .80 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 42” FFL Status: Antique This Dublin Castle Short Land Pattern musket was present at the Battle of Saratoga, arguably the most important engagement of the American Revolution, as the colonial victory over British forces directly led to French support for the revolutionary cause. Hoffman Nickerson, author of “The Turning Point of the Revolution”, locates the place of surrender in these words: “The spot chosen for this first part of the ceremony of surrender was the meadow beside the Hudson and north of the Fishkill. In 1777, it was still faintly dimpled with the grassy remains of an old fort of the Seven Tears’ War. To it the invaders marched dejectedly enough. Some of the men in impotent anger broke the butts of their muskets against the ground and some of the drummers stamped their drums to pieces.”. Another account, according to Delos E. Sprague in his Descriptive Guide of the Battlefield of Saratoga, he writes that Ferry Street “crosses the flats which is known as the ‘Field of Grounded Arms.’ Here Burgoyne’s soldiers stacked . their arms in surrender, some breaking the stocks of their muskets in rage. From this point they took up their line of march to 11 Cambridge, Mass., crossing Fish Creek at the fording place.” This damaged musket directly relates to these accounts and suggests that it was damaged at the British surrender at Saratoga. The musket is marked “9” on the barrel, indicating the 9th Regiment of Foot, which surrendered at Saratoga and did not participate in subsequent campaigns. This distinctive 9th Regiment marking, associated with Saratoga muskets, is recorded on three examples in Bill Ahearn and Robert Nitolo’s “British Military Longarms in Colonial America”. A 9th Regiment example in a Canadian public collection also carries a Saratoga provenance. Bailey’s list of issues from Dublin Castle to the 9th Regiment records 126 muskets and bayonets issued in July 1770, and 390 more in September 1775. The latter issue likely re-armed the entire regiment, though it likely dates too early for muskets fitted with the two-screw lock. Bailey however also notes a large shipment of 1,000 Dublin Castle muskets and bayonets sent to Kinsale on March 21, 1777, intended for “the recruits for the additional companies going to regiments now in America. This order would have included muskets with the newer locks, which were introduced at Dublin Castle earlier than at the Tower. It represents one of the earlier forms of the 1777 pattern and was most likely shipped to the 9th Regiment of Foot with new recruits approximately six months before the Saratoga campaign. Subsequent muskets supplied to the regiment appear to have come from the Tower rather than Dublin Castle. In Muskets of the Revolution, Ahearn identifies several 1777 two screw lock examples, including one marked to the Queen’s Rangers and another captured by colonial forces and issued to Charles Reynolds at West Point in 1777. Additionally, the musket also retains the earlier straight second ramrod pipe rather than the flared Pratt’s Improvement of 1779, and it also features both the spring finial and the upper-jaw screw cock of the 1769 lock, rather than the later simplified versions. The 9th Regiment of Foot, under General Burgoyne, took part in significant engagements during the Saratoga campaign, including the Battle of Freeman’s Farm. Following their surrender, they became prisoners of war. CONDITION: The musket shows legitimate use, wear, and repairs to keep it in service. The barrel retains a light brown patina and shows abrasions from a cleaning long ago. Some pitting at breech, proofmarks mostly visible. Lock retains a lightly pitted grey patina, is in its original flintlock configuration and functions very well. Markings strong but it appear that crown over broad arrow ordnance mark denoting British government ownership was intentionally removed after capture. The frizzen shows heavy wear. One frizzen top frizzen screw is a modern replacement. The other is original. Repairs to the wood appear made to keep it in service, suggesting it was likely one of the muskets intentionally damaged in the surrender, repaired and reissued to American forces, something also suggested by the atypical engraving of the company letter and rack number on the thumb plate. There is 9” section of forend that appears to be a period repair. The wrist has been cracked and repaired. There is a hole in the bottom of the wrist escutcheon corresponding to one on the back triggerguard tang. The repair is now stabilized. Ramrod is an improper replacement. Very historically significant regimentally marked Revolutionary War musket. 25,000 - 45,000

The 250th Anniversary of our Nation

This musket is of the type attributed to those made for the Maryland Committee of Safety. The musket closely follows the design of a British Short Land Pattern musket. The tapered round barrel is stamped “PS” on the left side of the breech and has 2 dished out areas that appear to be period-removed proofs. The convex lockplate is unmarked and has the signature long and pointed frizzen spring finial. The British style cock has a double-line border. Brass Short Land Pattern style furniture. Wrist escutcheon with signature screw head in center, long associated with Maryland Committee of Safety muskets. The plain walnut stock has relief panels terminating in a point around the lock, sideplate and barrel tang. The right side of the buttstock has a British storekeeper’s stamp of an intertwined “GR” over the date “1800”, indicating it was in a British storehouse or arsenal in 1800. It is unknown why these have this marking and the cataloguer has seen at least two others marked the same. Perhaps they were captured and put into British service and somehow returned to America at a later time, such as during the War of 1812, where they were possibly recaptured. Complete with what appears to be its original iron ramrod. CONDITION: Dark untouched patinas overall. Barrel retains a dark brown patina with some corrosion at breech. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration and has a strong, well-functioning mechanism. Lock retains a dark patina that matches the barrel. Brass retains a very dark mustard patina.

2108 - PORTRAIT OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR ADMIRAL MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, VICTOR OF THE 1781 BATTLE OF CAPE HENRY JOHN RISING, RA (British, 1756-1815). “Portrait of Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot”, circa 1780-85. Oil on canvas, 30” x 25”, within carved and gilded frame. Mariot Arbuthnot (1711-1794) was a British admiral who commanded the Royal Navy’s North American station during the American War for Independence. A native of Weymouth, England, Arbuthnot entered the Royal Navy in the late 1720s, became a lieutenant in 1739 and commander in 1746. That year, he captured two French privateers while in command of the HM Sloop Jamaica and was promoted to post captain in 1747. In 1759, he commanded HMS Portland during the decisive battle of Quiberon Bay, which established British naval supremacy and contributed to the fall of New France (Canada) to British forces. From 1775 to 1778, he was naval commissioner resident at Halifax and served as Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, 1776-1778. On 19 March 1779, he was named Vice Admiral of the Blue and later than year, appointed commanderin-chief on the American station. In December 1779, Arbuthnot conveyed the troops of Sir Henry Clinton to Charleston, South Carolina, and cooperated with him in laying siege to that city. On 26 September 1780 he was promoted to Vice Admiral of the White and in early March 1781, sailed his fleet out of New York in pursuit of a French one under Admiral Destouchesthat had sailed from Newport, Rhode Island to support American operations against the British expeditionary force in Virginia. Arbuthnot’s fleet outsailed that of Destouches, reaching the Virginia Capes just ahead of Destouches on 16 March. After maneuvering for several hours, the battle was joined; both fleets suffered damage and casualties without losing any ships. However, Arbuthnot was positioned to enter the Chesapeake as the fleets disengaged, frustrating Destouches’ objective. Destouches returned to Newport, while Arbuthnot successfully achieved the landing of 2000 reinforcements for the British under Major General Benedict Arnold before reembarking for New York and returning to England shortly thereafter. Aged and infirm, the 1781 campaign concluded Arbuthnot’s active naval career, although he advanced by seniority to become, on 1 February 1793, Admiral of the Blue and died in London the following year. John Rising was a successful portrait and subject painter who was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1785 until his death in 1815. Among many distinguished persons who sat to him were William Wilberforce, Lord Melville, Lord Nelson, and Sir William Blackstone. His portraits are pleasing in colour and executed with great truth and vigour; many of them have been engraved. Rising also painted various fancy and domestic subjects, such as ‘Juvenile Employment,’ ‘Ballad Singers,’ the ‘Sentimental Shepherd,’ and the ‘Infant Narcissus,’ some of which were mezzotinted by W. Ward, J. Jones, and others. Rising is said to have at one time assisted Sir Joshua Reynolds with the backgrounds of his pictures. CONDITION: Painting recently cleaned and revarnished by a professional conservator (report accompanies the painting) and mounted in a custom, reproduction frame; only a few minor, scattered spots of inpainting, mostly along edges of stretcher. 5,000 - 10,000

Manufacturer: Tower Model: Volley Gun Caliber/Bore: .52 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 19 - 5/8” FFL Status: Antique These guns were produced in extremely limited numbers by Henry Nock, after a certain James Wilson submitted the design to the Board of Ordnance. While the design was dismissed for Army use, there was potential for use for the Navy firing them from crows nests. Nock was contract for 500 guns and completed the contract in 1780, with a second contract issued in 1787, for a total of 655 guns. They were eventually withdrawn from service because their use led to several ships being lost due to rigging catching fire, and due to concerns over their recoil. They use an ingenious design where six barrels are brazed around a central barrel with a low profile sighting rib with blade front sight, and the touch hole leads directly to the chamber of the center barrel then has radial channels to each of the other chambers. Steel ramrod retained by three ferrules and a v-spring at top ferrule to keep ramrod from slipping out. Right side of rightmost barrel signed “H NOCK”. Lock with pair sidenails and a recess to fit over the right side barrel, with a crowned GR, “TOWER” proof, and a crowned broad arrow. Stock with cartouches somewhat softened by additional varnish.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 64824 Caliber/Bore: .44-40 Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique Per the included factory letter, this revolver was a .44-40 with blue finish and unlisted barrel length and stocks, as one of a 50-gun shipment to J.P. Moores Sons in February of 1881. Unlisted specifications typically indicate whatever the factory considered standard; as this time, that would have been a 7 - 1/2” barrel and walnut grips. Interestingly, Colt notes that there was a second listing for this serial number as a .45 with similiarly unlisted barrel length and stocks, shipped to Hartley & Graham, in November of 1881. CONDITION: The revolver has an overall grey patina and was possibly refinished long ago. The barrel address is faint, but mostly legible. The bore has wear and evidence of corrosion in the grooves. The chambers are in similar condition. The “44” is evident on the underside of the barrel and trigger guard. 1,500 - 2,500 308

2242 - (A) EXTREMELY RARE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1875 LEE VERTICAL ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1875 Serial No. 10 Caliber/Bore: .45-70 Barrel Length: 32” FFL Status: Antique Another invention from the fertile mind of James Paris Lee, this rifle was produced at Springfield Armory in about 1875. Congress had appropriated $10,000 for the development of this rifle but after only 143 were produced the funds ran out and the project was never refunded. With that limited production it makes this one of the most rare of all military rifles. Rifle is described as having a 32 - 5/8” barrel with barleycorn front sight/bayonet lug for socket bayonet and a Trapdoor Springfield 1,200 yard ladder rifle rear sight. Mounted in a full length, one piece, uncheckered walnut stock with two bands and blued steel nose cap. Upper band has both stacking and sling loops with corresponding sling loop in front of the trigger guard. Bottom of forestock is slotted for a partially concealed trapdoor-style slotted head ramrod. Left side of the wrist has the “ESA” (Erskine S. Allin) cartouche and bottom of the stock has the circle “P” stock inspector cartouche. Top tang is stamped “U.S.” and patent date. Action is most unusual with Martini-style breech block that is opened by striking the rear face of the hammer spur with the heel of one’s hand which causes the front of the breech block to lower and if sufficient force is exerted the empty cartridge casing will be ejected. At that point the breech block is locked open and is allowed to close only when a cartridge is loaded into the chamber and the rim of the casing depresses the extractor. The hammer is then cocked and fired in the normal manner. Very few of these rare rifles have survived today and are found only in the most advanced Springfield collections or museums. CONDITION: Excellent. Barrel retains 97% strong original blue showing wear only around the muzzle from bayonet installation. Breech block and hammer retain virtually all of the arsenal finish with about a 5% loss at high points. Stock is superb with most all arsenal finish remaining. Vivid, crisp cartouche as well as circle “P” inspection to rear of trigger guard. Serial number 10 is observed on trigger group, hammer, sear and left side of upper tang. Mechanically excellent, brilliant shiny bore. One of the US Rarest of all Martial arms in the finest of condition. 3,000 - 5,000

2308 - (M) SPECIAL (3 ) GUN SET OF LEE JURRAS CUSTOM AUTOMAG MODEL 100 SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOLS INCLUDING THE .41 Manufacturer: Automag Corperation Model: (All 3) 100 Serial No. (A) LEJ-33X (B) LEJ-033 (C) LEJ-033 Caliber/Bore: (A) .44 AMP (B) .41 AMP (C) .357 AMP Barrel Length: (All 3) 6” FFL Status: Modern The original Arcadia Machine & Tool Auto Mag Corp or AMT , located in Pasadena, lasted only from 1971 through 1972. TDE OF El Monte took over after the bankruptcy. The Auto Mag pistol was designed by Lee Jurras. These early semi automatic big bores were originally offered in the .44 Auto Mag (AMP) cartridge but were later joined by the .357 Auto Mag. They were made in stainless steel, featured full vent ribs, target adjustable rear sights and mostly fitted with exotic wood grips. All are marked TDE , L.E.Jurras, Custom Model 100, El Monte Calif. patent pending , each with their caliber such as .44 AMP. From what information we could obtain, these were meant to be a limited edition of no more than 100 guns in three calibers, the .44, the .357 and for this special edition, the new .41 AMP. It appears as if they were made as ordered and in the case of the newly invented .41, only approximately 35 in this caliber were ever made. This set includes that .41 AMP in what may be the scarcest of any modern era big bore semi auto pistol. Each of these three pistols has the 6 1/2” barrels and the vent rib. Each of these special guns have the LEJ initials in the serial number used only for the Model 100. The 44 is 33x, the .357 is 33 and lastly, the .41 is number 033. Given that all are number 33 means this set was purchased as a set. Each comes in its own specially marked single gun leatherette carry case. There is an original 1971 dated booklet on the .44 Auto Model 180 from Pasadena that was stamped “.357 AMP ser. no 033”. The other booklet, dated 1975, lists all three calibers. Given that only about 35 pistols were ever made in the .41 caliber and could have been purchased separately, it is unknown as to how many of these 35 guns were sold as a complete matching set as this writer could find no known sales as a set as they would have been very pricey in 1975. CONDITION: Each gun shows as near new with nominal handling. All the bores are bright. It is interesting to note that all three of these matching guns have different exotic wood grips. Arguably, the rarest set of modern handguns ever produced. 15,000 - 25,000 2309 - (M) GRIZZLY MARK 1 SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL IN .45 WIN MAG. Manufacturer: L.A.R. Manufactoring Model: Mark 1 Serial No. A003246 Caliber/Bore: .45 Win Mag Barrel Length: 5 - 3/8” FFL Status: Modern The early Mark 1 was introduced around 1983-84. They were produced by the L.A.R. company in West Jordon, Utah. Production ceased in 1999 for all of the subsequent models. They were built on the 1911 Colt platform but were a heftier version. Features the two tone brushed stainless frame with a blue finished slide. They also feature the 5/8” wide flat slide rib, an adjustable rear target sight, a red insert front, ambidextrous safety, beaver tail grip safety, LAR wrap around rubber grips and comes with one extra LAR stamped magazine. CONDITION: Excellent. Retains virtually all of its finish showing nominal handling marks and a few freckles. Bore is bright. 1,500 - 2,500

The grips are numbered to the pistol as well. This example was produced around 1929-30. Per the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Simpson & Sons were the only company authorized to produce and overhaul arms for the Weimar era German Army. They are scarce today because the need for new arms during the Weimar era wasn’t huge, and the company was nationalized when the Nazis came to power in 1933. CONDITION: Very good. This example has high edge wear, thinning finish on the grip straps. The small strawed parts still retain much of their color. The checkered walnut grips show a few flattened diamonds and slight handling but overall. The bore is bright and the mechanics are very good. 3,000 - 4,000

A nice example. 800 - 1,500

3020 - ELECTROTYPE SHIELD DEPICTING GREEK SOLDIERS With a heavily softened foundry marking on rear, that appears to be for a German foundry.

Blade measures approximately 12” and exhibits a chocolate patina. Flat, narrow oval iron crossguard. A 1 - 1/8” brass collar is immediately below the guard and is followed by two 19” riveted iron straps. The pole measures approximately 79” with bug damage scattered throughout its length.

As such, it correctly lacks any U.S. inspection marks, the date and state abbreviation likely indicating it passed whatever inspection was mandated at the factory. The ricasso, quillon, pommel, and drag are numbered “272” which could be a rack or inventory number added by the state or by a unit. The guard and scabbard throat are similarly marked “69 B 40”.

This is a nice Civil War sword with a firm identification to a state, a recognized variant marking, and rack numbers indicating it was actually issued. Connecticut fielded three volunteer light artillery batteries during the war and seems also to have maintained two “Flying Artillery” companies in Bridgeport as part of the “active militia” in 1862- Flying Artillery Company A and Flying Artillery Company B, according to Todd, US Military Equipage.

LIMITED GUARANTEE

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. In regard to Japanese swords, MORPHY’s does not guarantee that swords without NBTHK, NTHK, NTHK-NPO, or any other papers will pass shinsa unless explicitly stated otherwise. Translations are only provided as a courtesy to our bidders and do not constitute a guarantee regarding the maker. Similarly, if a sword is polished and flaws are found, they are not grounds for a return. If a blade is in polish and flaws were missed, then our normal limited guarantee applies. 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.

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.

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. Shipping will occur within 15 business days from the date payment is received. 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, (continued...)

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.
