KENNETH LEE SMITH-CHRISTMAS: COLLECTOR, CURATOR, AND AUTHOR Ken Smith-Christmas began his study of military history in 1961, when, at the age of 12, he joined the North-South Skirmish Association’s 17th Virginia Infantry as a drummer boy. Already fascinated by the Civil War since his first trip to Gettysburg in 1957, he began to collect World War I artifacts in 1964.

Membership in such organizations as the N-SSA’s Potomac Field Music and the Revolutionary War First Maryland Regiment, as well as the Company of Military Historians, afforded him the opportunity to learn from the best of the best in the field of military artifacts.

By the mid-1970s, Ken had focused his collecting efforts on firearms related to the Irish Nationalist Movement, German Imperial headdress, and late 19th and early 20th Century Scottish uniforms. After working at the U.S. National Archives, Ken joined the staff of the Marine Corps Museum in 1976, and spent nearly 30 years there (rising to the rank of Senior Supervisory Curator), before ‘jumping ship’ for the Planning Office of the National Museum of the U.S. Army, where he served as its Director of Collections and Exhibits Planning, before retiring in 2010.

In retirement, and at the urging of editors at the American Rifleman and Leatherneck magazines as well as the Company of Military Historians’ Journal, Ken started writing articles about what he knew best—Marine Corps and Irish guns—as well as a variety of other firearms and museum-related topics. He has also authored articles in a number of other publications, and continues to appear on the NRA’s weekly American Rifleman television show, as he has been doing since the early 2000s.

During his two-term tenure on the Executive Board of the International Committee of Museums of Arms and Military History (ICOMAM, 2010-2016), Ken was the liaison between military museums worldwide and the United Nations in NYC, for matters concerning international firearms legislation. Ken is well regarded by museum staffers in Ireland, and he played a significant role in repatriating the famed “Ivy Patch” 18-pdr field gun now on display in Dublin. His name is also among the acknowledgements in several Irish museum exhibits.

After suffering a near-fatal aortic aneurysm in 2015, Ken disposed of his German and Scottish collections (via online auctions over the next six years) and is now offering his Irish guns to those collectors who will appreciate them as much as he has over the past 50 years. Ken hopes that the high bidders in this auction will ensure the preservation of his treasured guns for future generations of Irish-American collectors and history enthusiasts. Sadly, there are very, very few of these firearms left in Ireland. Most of the few guns that have survived are in museums, and those that are rarely available to private collectors are not functional, although very expensive.

JAMES PHILLIP CYR Jim was born on September 27th, 1937, in Westwood, California. Upon graduating from Westwood High School in 1955, Jim joined the Air Force in 1956. He was stationed at George Air Force Base in Victorville, California as a weapons specialist on the F-100 Super Sabre. During his enlistment Jim completed two tours in Spain at Moron Air Force Base in the 34th Fighter Squadron of the 413th Wing. In 1960 he was discharged as an Airman First Class Jim found work with the Standard Oil Company and married his first wife in 1960. She passed away in 1999.

Jim also had a cattle ranch as well as other businesses. It didn’t matter if Jim was on a horse working cows, running the swather or fixing fence he could be found there from dusk till dawn. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Outside of Jim’s profound love for his family and friends, he had two passions in life, his cattle ranch and his gun collection. Jim loved every day on the ranch when he wasn’t “playing guns” or traveling to gun shows.

A lifelong passion for Winchesters and their history defined Jim’s passion for firearms; meticulously purchasing, researching and cleaning every gun before finally cataloging each one. He ultimately outgrew the 1000 sq. foot gun safe he had built. Jim’s vast knowledge was always shared with anyone who had a desire to see and learn about the pieces. Many of the pieces were displayed in the Schminck Memorial Museum along with his hand re-loading tools.

A second marriage came along in 2007. Jim convinced Judy to retire and travel with him to gun shows all over the western United States. These were some of the best years of their lives, making memories and dear friends along the way. Jim and Judy’s last gun show was in Winnemucca, Nevada where Jim suffered a stroke resulting in memory loss.

A soft spoken, kind gentleman, proud, honest, hardworking and steadfast in his beliefs and faith. He loved God and his country, had a great sense of humor and was quick to crack a joke always putting a smile on your face. He never turned anyone away, always willing to lend a hand to those in need.

Jim was a lifetime member of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association.

2001 - (N) FABULOUS CURIO & RELIC ELIGIBLE FACTORY ORIGINAL HK MP5 MACHINE GUN (UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch Model: MP5 Serial No. 82530 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Barrel Length: 8.85 FFL Status: NFA Fabulous factory original three position, “S, E, F” selector Heckler & Koch MP5 registered receiver machine gun manufactured in December 1972 as marked on top of the receiver. Marked “Made Germany excl for SACO, Arlington, Va 22209” on right side of magazine well, and “HK MP5” on top of receiver. This cataloger needs to emphasize the fact that this is a factory original MP5, not a remanufacture, or installed auto-sear gun. This specimen incorporates a fixed stock and horizontal forend. One original, straight “8/72” dated magazine is included with this gun. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATF) is in the process of removing restrictions on what they call “GOVT Use Exception”, previously Pre-86 Dealer Sample restricted machine guns. This is one such gun. This particular gun has been verified by the BATF by serial number as having had its restrictions removed and, as such, is now “Fully Transferable” to individuals.

Manufacturer’s information such as “Imported NFA Firearm” is NOT being changed incidental to this process. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original black hard coat finish. Composite furnishings of buttstock and pistol grip also near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. The very few factory original Heckler & Koch guns which are becoming fully transferable to individuals will undoubtedly command a premium now, and into the foreseeable future. Something for the discerning and forwardthinking collector/investor as well as the shooting enthusiast. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2024-12-74.

2002 - (N) ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DWM ARGENTINE BRASS MAXIM MACHINE GUN WITH OPTIC AND TRIPOD (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: DWM Model: 1895 Serial No. 81 Caliber/Bore: 7.65mm Argentine Barrel Length: 23” FFL Status: NFA Fabulous Brass Maxim as manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in Berlin under contact for Argentina in 1898. The first 50 of the Argentina contract were manufactured by the Maxim Nordenfeldt Company, and the subsequent contract was fulfilled by DWM. This specimen, like all this cataloger has observed, was initially delivered to Argentina and fielded into service, and then later returned to DWM in 1909 for the sights to be converted to be graduated for the modernized 1909 7.65mm Argentine cartridge. One can see the slot still present in the brass plate on the top cover where the original “tall” rear sight had a tab that fitted into this slot when the sight was down. The Argentine contract Maxim guns were imported into the United States over 60 years ago and sold on the collector market. Visible numbers, exclusive of the barrel (16) are matching on this gun, including the wooden roller feedblock, fusee cover, and lock which is marked “81 A”. An original Carl Weiss optic sight (#2833) is included with this lot. Water fill and drain caps are present with brass chains and drain cork present and serviceable. Brass steam hose fitting on water jacket present and serviceable. Original tripod with barely discernible “86” at the front of the brass socket is also included with this gun. Electronic NFA registry indicates “DEUTSCHE WAFFEN MUNITIONS FABRIKEN (DWM)” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent factory finish upon update in 1909 with some very light brown patina visible at the right side of receiver at the top edge near the top cover. One has to look very closely to discern it. Original wooden roller in feed block is extremely fine with some dings.

Internal parts of gun are near excellent. Optic is clear and retains original leather eye shade. Bore of copper washed barrel is near excellent, shiny and bright. Mechanics are crisp. This is a full-auto-only machine gun. Tripod is extremely fine and serviceable. Leather of tripod seat is in outstanding condition, best this cataloger has ever seen. This is one of the most eye-catching machine gun models ever produced, and this specimen presents exceptionally well. The combination of blued steel and brass calls out to any observer, “This is the quality of manufacturing when hand fitting and human pride of workmanship were the order of the day”.

Brass jacket Maxim guns surface for sale very rarely, and do not make it to public sale. This brass Maxim would make an outstanding addition to any machine gun collectors collection, or be the absolute centerpiece of attention in some corporate office (not a bad tax write-off either). 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 2024-12-67.

2003 - (N) DESIRABLE EARLY AC SPARK PLUG M3 .50 CALIBER MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Unknown Model: M2ANTIAIRCR Serial No. 207865 Caliber/Bore: .50 BMG Barrel Length: 45” FFL Status: NFA AC Spark Plug M3 Browning .50 caliber machine gun manufactured in late 1941 or early 1942 according to serial number. This gun has the highly desirable switch for single shot or automatic fire capability. Attractive wood handle grips. Three heavy barrels, one of which has a carrying bail attached, and one standard barrel (in a steel AA shroud) are included. A 1943 dated “Central Steel Tube Co” tripod with stirrup and Traverse & Elevation is also included, as well as a plate type belt-loading machine and an original Korean war vintage gun cover as would have been used to cover the gun while mounted on a tank. Electronic NFA registry indicates “UNKNOWN” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original dull grey finish generally covered with dust and some patina from storage. Tripod is extremely fine. G.I. cover is unissued in cardboard box. Bores of barrels have strong lands and rifling with the darkness that come from long-term storage. Bolt face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and positive. This is a select-fire machine gun. It is quite uncommon to find a .50 caliber Browning manufactured this early.

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 2024-12-40. 50,000 - 70,000

2004 - (N) FANTASTIC WWII JAPANESE TYPE 99 MACHINE GUN WITH OKINAWA SHURI CASTLE BATTLE PROVENANCE (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Nagoya Model: Type 99 Serial No. 10396 Caliber/Bore: 7.7mm Japanese Barrel Length: 21” FFL Status: NFA Fabulous Nagoya arsenal Japanese Type 99 light machine gun, manufactured in August 1944, and captured by Marines of the 1st Marine division at the battle of Shuri Castle at the south end of Okinawa in July of 1945. All visibly numbered parts match on this gun, including buffer, charging handle, ejection port cover, bolt, op-rod, sear safety bar, barrel, gas regulator, and receiver. Two original unnumbered 30-round magazines are included with this lot as well as an original 2-cell Japanese magazine pouch numbered 6738. Original flash hider present. Both the barrel carrying handle and pistol grip on this gun are smooth, and the buttstock and buttplate have no provision for monopod. This is typical of guns being produced at this factory in late 1944 onwards as a time and cost saving measure to speed production. Electronic NFA registry indicates “NAGOYA” as the manufacturer. PROVENANCE: This machine gun was given to Peter Mills, a Navy officer then serving aboard ship at Okinawa by an “Engineer of the First Marine Division”, as documented by a handwritten account by the veteran dated October 19, 1996. This account was substantiated by the veteran’s son who was personal representative of the veteran’s estate and documented by sworn affidavit. A photocopy of the handwritten letter, typed copy of the letter, and affidavit are included with this lot, as well as an excerpt from the Veteran’s service record showing U.S. Navy service from 3/2/1942 to 3/10/1946. The veteran eventually retired as a Captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine to extremely fine original finish on all metal surfaces with the finish on the barrel and cylinder near excellent. Wood of carrying handle near excellent while the pistol grip and buttstock are fine to extremely fine with dings and handling marks. Buttplate is a uniform brown patina.

Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt is extremely fine. This is a full-auto only machine gun.

It is worthy to note that this gun and accessories are, “as brought back”, and as such, are in an exceptional original condition, not having been altered. Finding such a Japanese machine gun, captured at a noted engagement, and an unaltered live gun, properly cared for in the veteran’s family is a very rare occurrence. It would be pretty hard to improve on this specimen of this model.

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 2024-12-56.

2005 - (N) RARELY ENCOUNTERED AND VERY DESIRABLE CHINESE TYPE 50 (COPY OF PPSH-41) MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: China Model: PPsh41 Serial No. 18641 WJL Caliber/Bore: 7.62x25mm Barrel Length: 10.6” FFL Status: NFA This is a very seldom encountered Chinese Type 50 machine gun manufactured in 1950, and making this piece likely a veteran bringback of the Korean War. This gun comes from an estate situation, so the specifics regarding its acquisition have been lost. The Chinese Type 50 is a very nearly exact copy of the Soviet Russian PPSh-41 machine gun, and parts, including the magazines, are interchangeable between the two. Sometimes the Chinese even went so far as to copy the Russian markings, but this is not the case here. This gun has clear Chinese Shenyang Dawn Arsenal markings on the top of the shroud, forward of the trunnion. Bolt and lower assembly serial numbers match the receiver number. One 30 round Russian curved stick magazine and one non-matching electro-penciled SN 71 round drum are included with this lot, as well as an unmarked web and leather sling. Electronic NFA registry indicates “CHINA” as the manufacturer, and “PPSH41” as the model. Correction of model to “Type 50” can be requested prior to the next transfer if so desired by the winning bidder, or it can be transferred as it is. It is noteworthy that the initials “WJL” have been added as a suffix below the serial number. This cataloger is going to suggest that this gun may have at one time been a deactivated gun, and these initials may be those of the reactivator. This in no way affects the Curio & Relic status of this gun, and aside from these initials being part of the serial number in the NFA registry, there is nothing in the gun’s condition that indicates it was ever deactivated. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent professional refinish with some barely discernible scratches and pitting in some places. Still, this gun presents exceptionally well, with particularly attractive Chinese arsenal markings. Wood stock has some light scars, but is of high quality, better than this cataloger has ever seen on any Russian produced model, and if asked how to tell a Chinese gun from a Russian made PpSh, this cataloger would say, “the Chinese guns are better made and finished”. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face is fine. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. Chinese Type 50 machine guns are scarce items in the United States, and when they surface for public sale, they command the attention of a growing number of Chinese firearms collectors. This specimen is a particularly fine and desirable one. 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 2024-12-19. 18,000 - 25,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: M3 Serial No. 2313847 Caliber/Bore: .50 BMG Barrel Length: 36” FFL Status: NFA

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

High condition and very desirable Colt manufactured U.S. M3 .50 caliber machine gun with highly desirable switch for single-shot or automatic fire capability. Serial number indicates this gun was manufactured between 1951-1952. Attractive wood handle grips. Carrying bail included on barrel with one spare heavy barrel and one standard “aircraft” barrel with chrome bearing at muzzle. A standard,“STAND, TRIPOD GROUND” “MK 123 MOD 0” tripod with stirrup and Traverse and Elevation unit is included with this lot as well as an original .50 caliber optical bore sight, headspace and timing gauge, and aftermarket sight bracket with a scope rail. Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent dull grey finish with only some light handling marks. Tripod is near excellent. Optical bore sight is clear with leveling bubble intact and serviceable. Bores of all three barrels are shiny and bright. Bolt face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and positive. This is a select-fire machine gun. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

2007 - (N) OUTSTANDING HIGH CONDITION COLT 1921AC THOMPSON MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1921 AC Serial No. 10886 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 11” FFL Status: NFA High condition Colt 1921AC Thompson with Cutts compensator and clear “JHB” inspection mark clearly visible on right side of receiver. Unmarked Cutts compensator. Gun retains 1921 internal parts with original oiler within the buttstock trap. Buttstock has nice clear anchor cartouche at leading edge. Accessories include one original Colt 1920 patent date 20-round magazine, four 30-round stick magazines, five 20-round Bridgeport magazines, and one 50-round Crosby drum. Although many Thompson machine guns were produced, especially during WWII, it is the Colt Thompson with the vertical forend and Cutts compensator which is the most attractive and iconic of all American machine guns. Certainly, it has the most recognized silhouette. Electronic NFA Registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent deep lustrous original blue finish with some slight loss of finish to gray patina at the forward edge of the charging handle slot, where the charging stud contacts the receiver, and at the contact points where the stock hardware meets the lower receiver, and some loss of finish to a pleasing gray patina at the buttplate. Wood is near excellent, a beautiful rich brown color with some very light handling marks. Magazines are likewise in very high condition. Bore is fabulous, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. One of the best condition specimens of this model and one that the discerning collector/investor should take notice of. 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 2024-12-65. 40,000 - 60,000

2008 - (N) HISTORIC EARLY U.S. GOVT MARKED COLT M-16A1 SUPPLIED TO ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND FOR M203 GRENADE LAUNCHER TESTS (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Colt Model: M16A1 Serial No. 5288440 Caliber/Bore: .223 Remington Barrel Length: 20” FFL Status: NFA This is one of 50 rifles supplied by Colt to Aberdeen Proving Ground at the time M203 grenade launchers were being tested. In addition to the “PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT” marking, one immediately notices the unusual “M-16A1” marking and the professionally applied rack number “39” to the underside of the trigger guard. Other early features include the curved edge buttplate, triangular handguards, pivoting sling swivels, chrome lined bore, and windage adjustable only rear sight, and the composition of the furnishings. Two 20-round Colt AR-15 marked magazines with black bottom plates stamped, “.556”, a black web sling and muzzle cap are included with this lot. Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original finish. Furnishings are near excellent with perhaps a handling mark or two discernible upon the closest inspection. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. About as nice a specimen as one can hope to find of a U.S marked M-16 that also has historical connection. Something for the discerning and forwardthinking collector/investor, or for someone who just wants to get one of the best condition M16s around with early production features. 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 2024-12-96. 35,000 - 60,000

2009 - (N) INCREDIBLY RARE HIGH CONDITION MATCHING RUSSIAN SG-43 (GORYUNOV) MACHINE GUN ON ORIGINAL WHEELED MOUNT (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Russian WWII Model: Russian SG43 Serial No. 4B182 Caliber/Bore: 7.62X54mmR Barrel Length: 28.375” FFL Status: NFA Incredibly rare and in top unmodified original condition Soviet Russian SG-43 belt-fed machine gun on original mount with armor plate. A total of 18 steel ammunition cans, each with a Russian metal link belt are included with this lot. The serial number on this gun contain Cyrillic letters which the BATF interpreted to be 4B182. Visible parts are matching on this gun. Mount does not match in serial number (and they never did). The Goryunov is unusual in that it cocks by pulling bottom handle below backplate. It fires from an open bolt, with bolt remaining in rear position until firing is actuated. This design aided in the cooling of barrel as it allowed air into chamber while bolt is in rear position. SG 43 did not see service until the very end of World War II, but it quickly replaced the Maxim guns in service thereafter due to its increased portability and accuracy, due in some part to its long sight radius. Since it uses the same belts and ammunition as the 1910 Russian Maxim, gun troops were able to use ammunition stores on hand. Electronic NFA registry indicates “RUSSIAN FEDERATION” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and is near excellent dark blue finish with some scratches and dings. Close inspection indicates this gun has been shot very little. Wooden handles are near excellent.

2010 - (N) GERMAN WORLD WAR II C.G. HAENEL MKB42(H) MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: C.G. Haenel Model: MKB42(H) Serial No. STG 5266 Caliber/Bore: 7.92x33mm Kurz Barrel Length: 16” FFL Status: NFA This is a very rare and desirable gun. Marked MKb.42(H) on left side of the receiver, and includes a sling and one “fxo” manufactured “MKb 42 / MP43” marked magazine. The Mkb-42(H) machine gun is the pre-cursor to the MP-43/1, MP-43, MP-44, STG-44 family of weapons. Superficially, it looks like the models that came later, but it is a very different gun when one takes a closer look. The concept was to design a select-fire rifle using an intermediate sized cartridge that would be able to fulfill many roles required in combat. To this end, the muzzle is threaded and the gas cylinder incorporates hardware and a lug to take a grenade launcher attachment, or curved “bullet chute” if needed. The extended gas cylinder, enlarged long muzzle nut, and lack of familiar safety on the grip housing are immediate giveaways that this is not one of the models which came later. One can spot several features familiar in the MP-40, such as the safety is a cut-out in the top of the receiver, and the charging handle itself has a bolt lock in the same manner as the MP-40 which locks the bolt in the forward position by depressing it so that locks into a recess into the receiver. One also notices that this machine gun fires from an open bolt, and that although the selector is a button that pushes to either the right or left in the grip frame in the manner of the MP-43/44, the contour of the pistol grip is different. Between 8,000 to 12,000 of this model were produced between early 1942 and mid-1943. Nearly all were fielded into Russia, which accounts for the rarity of this model to be found in the United States. Like the troops that carried them, once they went into the fighting in Russia, very few ever returned to the West. This is a Haenel (fxo) manufactured gun with “fxo” and eagle over “37” in several places, including the underside of the receiver forward of the magazine housing and left side of the barrel. The buttstock hardware is matching and was manufactured by Mertzwerke (cos) with eagle over “44” proof. Mertzwerke was a sheet metal subcontractor for many pieces of German equipment, but particularly machine guns. The number on the left side of the receiver is lined-out and replaced with “STG 5266” on the left upper side on the receiver. This is the registered serial number. Electronic NFA Registry indicates, “GERMANY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original finish with small scattered areas of loss of finish to a gray patina at the high edges. very clean and attractive wood, unsanded and original finish. Action is very smooth. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is also near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. Wood is extremely fine with typical handling marks. Leather sling is in good, strong serviceable condition. Magazine retains lustrous blue finish commensurate with the gun, and has a lightly scratched number, “7775” on the left side. This is a select-fire machine gun. This model was the first assault rifle design that used an intermediate-sized cartridge; the 7.92x33mm cartridge was not so powerful as the 8x57mm full power rifle round but significantly more powerful than the 9mm Parabellum pistol round. This rifle was a highly effective improvement over the standard bolt action rifle as not only was it semi-automatic with a large magazine capacity, but it also could provide automatic fire fulfilling a soldier’s needs in many situations. The fact that the cartridge was smaller in both length and weight meant that the soldiers could carry more ammunition readily available. This was an important historical development in the field of military weapons and this fact elevates this model to among the most desirable of its kind. 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 2024-12-91. 40,000 - 80,000

Other accessories include 22 standard steel Russian ammunition cans, each with a 250 round steel belt, and two flip-top Russian ammunition cans. The RP-46 was a developmental follow-on to the DP-27 and DP-M machine guns which were originally designed to use pan magazines. Very soon after World War II, the Russians developed an adapter kit that allowed the use of Russian steel Maxim belts in these models. The next logical progressive step was this model, purpose built at the factory to utilize steel Maxim belts. It was the “lighter” more portable belt-fed machine gun support weapon that filled the gap between the water-cooled Maxim and the SG-43 machine guns. Electronic NFA registry indicates “RUSSIAN FEDERATION” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and is near excellent original dark blue finish with very little loss of finish.

Close inspection indicates this gun has been shot very little. Wooden handles are near excellent. Buttstock has some handling marks but remains extremely fine to near excellent.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: AR15 Serial No. COSUSA1 Caliber/Bore: 5.56mm NATO Barrel Length: 20” FFL Status: NFA There can be no doubt that this is a Curio & Relic eligible Colt AR-15 machine gun, just as there is not doubt that it passed through the hands of President John F.

Wheeler, who was instrumental in the adoption of the forward assist feature onto the AR-15. All the early 60s telltale features are present on this rifle. From the early style birdcage flash hider to the composition of the furnishings, and the design of the sling swivels and rounded butt-plate, one could determine the vintage of this gun from these features alone. Note also the “PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT.” and “XM 16 E1” markings on the left side of the receiver. Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer.

Accompanied by a hardwood display rack with brass presentation plaque reading “XM16E1 / PRESENTED TO / UNITED STATES ARMY / GENERAL EARLE G. WHEELER / CHIEF OF STAFF / COLT’S PATENT FIRE ARMS MFG. CO. , INC.”. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original factory finish with gold plating on receiver and barrel, with highly polished composite furnishings. Bolt is an attractive silver finish (like armaloy).

The bolt assembly moves within the action under appropriate spring tension, and the front of the bolt rotates properly. There is every indication that this gun could be restored to a firing condition with appropriate effort, although would very likely require a replacement barrel. Good news is that the bolt face ridges are intact.

There is a small “SA” mark on the right side below the serial number. This indicates that this is one of the guns sold to Finland by France after World War I, and was subsequently imported into the United States between 1959–1962. Electronic NFA registry indicates “FRANCE” as the manufacturer.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original finish overall with no finish or paint present on the bipod legs. Wood is extremely fine, much better than found on most specimens of this model. Unable to discern condition of the bore. Bolt face described above. The bolt has a tendency to stick in the forward position, and the charging handle knob has been flattened at the front, likely due to amateur attempts to hammer it to the rear. This model is a select-fire machine gun. It is not well-known that the American Expeditionary Force was issued significant numbers of 8mm Lebel Chauchats and 1914 Hotchkiss machine guns upon their arrival in France. These were replaced over time as Browning guns, and Model 1918 Chauchats in .30-06 became available.

Group industries Browning Model 37 registered sideplate fitted to a Colt Model 1928 commercial Browning water cooled machine gun. Essentially a Browning Model 1917A1 with a different flash hider. Headspace and timing gauge included with this lot. After World War I, Colt had a significant number of Browning water-cooled machine gun parts leftover. In an effort to capitalize on them, they marketed the “Colt Commercial Model of 1928” worldwide. South America purchased a significant number with associated tripods. Other countries did also. Many decades later, some of these were imported back into the United States as parts kits, and many were assembled onto registered sideplates and sold. Others were made into semi-automatic guns. This specimen has a flip safety switch at trigger. As a marketing tool, some of these sideplate guns were professionally engraved with very attractive Colt markings on the right sideplate, as this one is. Bolt is in the white and unmarked on top.

Electronic NFA registry indicates “BROWN, MICHAEL DBA GROUP INDUSTRIES” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Wood grips are bruised on right side, but this does not affect serviceability. Overall finish and appearance is near excellent lustrous blue refinish upon remanufacture with some slight marks, barely discernible under the finish. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face is extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp. This is a full-auto only machine gun. A very attractive looking Browning with no dents in the water jacket, and with bronze end cap and trunnion.

2027 - (N) VERY SOUGHT-AFTER COLT MODEL 1915 VICKERS MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Vickers Sons and Company Model: 1915 Serial No. 9638 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 28 - 1/2” FFL Status: NFA This is an original Colt Model 1915 Vickers machine gun. It was originally in .30-06, but now currently has standard .303 British internal parts. This gun is registered under the U.S. contract number visible on the top of the water jacket. The other externally visible numbers, on the underside of the water jacket, and underside trunnion are matching, indicating this is not a rebuilt aircraft gun, although the fusee cover is from an 11mm gun. Muzzle and booster cup are not present, but muzzle bearing, drain and fill caps, and original chains with cork are. Distinctive rear sight and gutta-percha grips are original Colt model 1915 parts. Barrel is .303, as is feed block (non-matching), and lock. Marked on top front of nose cap forward of water jacket, “VICKERS MACHINE GUN / MODEL OF 1915 / COLT’S PT. F.A. MF. CO. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.”, followed by the registered (contract) serial number, 9638. The consecutive unit number from the factory may be found on the underside of the nose cap below the patent information, on the bottom plate, and the inside of each sideplate. These guns have two equally valid serial numbers, just as U.S. Navy Lewis guns do, and just like on Navy Lewis guns, sometimes they are registered under the contract number, and sometimes under the consecutive unit number. Accessories include an original (albeit not Colt) Vickers transit chest, three wooden Browning cloth belt ammunition boxes, and steel water can. Electronic NFA registry indicates “COLT” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good to fine original non-reflective blue finish with three vintage patched areas on the water jacket indicating what potentially could have been combat damage and field repair. The water jacket is mostly a brown patina, and feed shuttle a gray patina, with better finish on the rest of the gun. Fusee cover retains the gear for adjusting the tension of the fusee spring at the front with the rest of the adjustment mechanism (for an aircraft gun) not present, leaving two vacant holes at the rear side of the fusee cover. Grips are extremely fine with some handling marks. Lock and lock face are extremely fine. Bore is fine, shiny and bright with some light pitting near the muzzle. This is a fully automatic only machine gun. For the discerning would be Colt Vickers owner, this gun has a lot of potential. If one had access to the appropriate original .30-06 parts, and any standard muzzle booster and fusee cover… let’s just say that this cataloger has a particular affinity to Vickers machine guns due to their versatility of being able to be converted to different popular calibers.

Manufacturer: Spandau Model: MG08/15 Serial No. 2749 Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: NFA

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

This Spandau manufactured 1917 dated Maxim 08/15 machine gun retains its matching top cover, fusee cover, feed shuttle, and buttstock. The barrel, lock, and cocking handle are non-matching. This gun retains and includes some very desirable pieces not often found when these guns are offered. The water fill cap retains wooden thumb grip. The steam port cover is present and in good condition, as is the belt drum hanger on the right side of the receiver feedway. An original bipod with paint consistent with the condition of the rest of the gun is also present, as is the muzzle booster. Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine to extremely fine original blued finish with a couple dents in the water jacket and some loss of finish to a gray patina where a carrying sling would have been on the jacket with a lighter color to the wood where a sling would have covered the buttstock. Buttstock is very solid and serviceable with typical dings and bruises, with very attractive grain to the stock wood. Bore has strong rifling, darking in the grooves. Lock is clean and serviceable with good spring tension. Mechanics are fine, action moves smoothly, with rails recoiling appropriately under fusee spring tension. This is a full-auto-only machine gun.

The 08/15 Maxim was the German “light” machine gun of World War I and remained in service throughout the Weimar era of the 1920s and 1930s, eventually becoming a rear echelon weapon through the end of World War II. This is a classic WWI machine gun, and these guns are great fun to shoot at the range as well. This gun retains parts which make it a particularly fine representative specimen of an original WWI configuration German MG 08/15 Maxim. 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 2024-12-03. 8,000 - 12,000

2040 - (N) BATTLE DAMAGED STOCK JAPANESE TYPE 96 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Japan Model: Type 96 Serial No. 49295 Caliber/Bore: 6.5mm Japanese Barrel Length: 21 - 3/4” FFL Status: NFA Desirable Japanese Type 96 light machine gun as manufactured by Kokura in November, 1941. Receiver number matches lower assembly, and barrel retention latch (note that the Bakelite is intact!), and the other number in evidence is 49099 on barrel (also made in November, 1941), buffer, charging handle, bolt, op rod, and sear safety bar. Gas regulator (98496) does not match either number (obviously the original factory technician got their numbering dies mixed up!), and bipod exhibits only a “4”. Accessories include one original 30-round magazine (41595). The Japanese Type 96 machine gun bears a striking resemblance to the ZB26 machine gun. It fires from an open bolt and was an effective full-auto-only automatic rifle with low recoil. With practiced trigger control, the firer can squeeze off individual shots. The adjustable gas port was intended to defeat the problem of fouling, which it did, but soldiers also found that it could adjust the rate of fire. This model was preferred over the Type 11, which required oiling of the cartridges as they passed through the feed hopper. Japanese soldiers even preferred it over the later Type 99 Model due to its lighter recoil and convenience of removing the barrel by way of a lever. Electronic NFA registry indicates “JAPAN” as the manufacturer.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent refinish on metal component exclusive of the barrel, which retains original finish. Any perceived shortcoming is mitigated by the slight battle damage to the stock and buttplate on this gun, evidence of genuine combat use. The dent in the buttplate is on the right side, as are what appear to be either bullet or shrapnel strikes to the right side on the stock. This in no way detracts from the serviceability of this stock. Bore is extremely fine with bright lands, getting a little dark in the grooves. Bolt face is very fine. Mechanics are crisp and positive. This is a full-auto-only machine 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 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2024-12-05. 12,000 - 18,000

2041 - (N) JAPANESE NAMBU TYPE 99 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).

Manufacturer: Nambu Model: Type 99 Serial No. 7016 Caliber/Bore: 7.7mm Japanese Barrel Length: 21 - 3/4” FFL Status: NFA Fine Japanese Type 99 light machine gun manufactured at the Nagoya arsenal in October of 1943. Nagoya arsenal logo on right side of receiver with date code of “18.10” for August 1943. Buffer, charging handle, ejection port cover, bolt, op-rod, sear safety bar, and barrel match receiver number. One original unnumbered 30-round magazine is included. No flash hider present. There is evidence of welding and refinish at the top of the receiver at the barrel socket, with commensurate heat discoloration at the chamber of the barrel. Electronic NFA registry indicates “GERMANY” as the manufacturer, however this outlandish error in the NFA registry can be requested for correction prior to transfer to the buyer if they desire.

CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine to extremely fine original finish on most metal surfaces, with touch-up blue in some area, and refinish at top of receiver forward of magazine well, with some thinning and mottling to the finish on the right side of the receiver. Internal parts have gray and brown patina but appear serviceable. Buttplate is a uniform brown patina. Wood carry handle has a slight chip at top center, and has a glued repair at the top front (about 30% of the front broke away at some point), but is completely serviceable. Wood buttstock has been sanded to point where buttplate is proud of the wood, but the wood is smooth and attractive with some light handling marks. Pistol grip is extremely fine with some staining at the top ront and back. Bore is extremely fine with bright rifling. Bolt face has a dark patina but appears serviceable.

The mechanism operates when actuated by hand. 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. Overall this gun presents very well. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.

Manufacturer: Nambu Model: Type 11 Serial No. 28182 Caliber/Bore: 6.5mm Japanese Barrel Length: 19” FFL Status: NFA Very desirable Japanese Type 11 machine gun as manufactured by Nagoya Arsenal in October, 1939. Visible serial numbers are matching on: shroud, receiver, buffer, retaining latch, ejector, charging handle, gas cylinder, and hopper cover lever. Gas regulator non-matching #28175 (almost certainly a Japanese swap-out during a “cleaning party” with other weapons in the same unit). Custom red felt canvas cover for battle damaged wood buttstock. Wood stock shows clear evidence of shrapnel or bullet damage on left hand side with more evidence of battle damage with pieces of shrapnel still embedded on the right-hand side stock wood. Bipod retention clips (which hold bipod in folded position) not present at bottom of shroud. This model utilizes standard 6.5 Japanese rifle ammunition on stripper clips loaded into the hopper, and then, with the hopper cover closed, there is essentially a revolving “track” that feeds the rounds into the action. The stripper clips drop out of the bottom of the hopper after the rounds they were holding have been fed into the feedway. A very innovative way to mitigate the effects of the inhospitable climate on cloth belts, while ensuring that as long as one had riflemen with ammunition, there would be readily available ammunition for the machine gun support weapon.

An unusual system, but one that endured from 1922 until the late 1930s when this model was replaced over time with first the Type 96, and later the Type 99 machine guns. The Type 11 remained in service all the way to the end of WWII. Electronic NFA registry indicates “JAPAN” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent combination of original finish with refinished areas with buffer ejector plate a moderate even brown patina. White filled markings stand-out with a very attractive appearance. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. This is a full-auto-only machine gun. This is a very desirable model of Japanese machine gun because it is so different from conventional magazine or belt-fed rifle caliber machine guns, and will have particular appeal to those collector who desire battle damaged machine guns.

There is a complete, apparently serviceable, original armored muzzle on this gun, complete with original chains and cork hardware. Many of the parts here are desirable themselves, and enhance to value of this display piece which is of museum quality.

This example is correctly marked on the barrel after the serial number, and on the right side of the rear scope base with Mauser eagle over “135” waffenampts. Receiver tang is also stamped with a characteristic “U” inspection seen on Mauser production high turret snipers. Rifle is finished in standard arsenal blue with a lightly oiled red glue laminate stock. Late, stamped and welded construction stock mounts with an appropriate checkered cupped butt plate as were supplied on later K98 sniper rifles. Safety is also the milled, shortened variety without serial number, allowing clearance under the scope. The turret bases are affixed with solder.

Manufacturer: Nagoya Model: Type 100 Serial No. 58500 Caliber/Bore: 7.7x58mm Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Among the first experimental Japanese paratrooper rifles, an estimated 500 were built from standard Type 99 rifles taken from the Toriimatsu factory of the Nagoya Arsenal in the 51,786-59,267 range. This Series 21 rifle is numbered 58,500, comfortably within this accepted range. Unlike other later paratroop rifle designs, this rifle separates into 2 with a quarter turn of the barrel, which locks into a receiver mounted reinforcement sleeve with disrupted threads.

Manufacturer: Mudken Arsenal Model: Type 13 Serial No. 103783 Caliber/Bore: 8x57mm Mauser Barrel Length: 29 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic During World War I Steyr continued the development of the Mauser rifle with various improved features, although production of the standard Austro-Hungarian M1895 rifle took precedent and the novel Mauser was not put into production. With post-WWI restrictions, the design and tooling were sold to Chinese Warlord Zhang Zuolin who set up production at the Mukden Arsenal in Manchuria, which ran from 1924 to 1931. Rifle is fitted with a lustrously blued 8mm barrel with blade front sight and tangent rear. Correct in-the-white receiver and bolt featuring a shrouded firing pin.

Importantly, this rifle retains its original, seldom seen blued sliding dust cover which runs along rails in the receiver much in the style of the Japanese Type 38. Classic 2 piece hardwood stock with blued mounts and a flat in-the-white butt plate. Externally visible numbers matching. CONDITION: Very Good. Barrel and mounts retain nearly all of their bright blue with some scattered freckling and light thinning, especially on the bottom metal.

Dust cover likewise retains the vast majority of its arsenal blue with some minor losses and freckling. Receiver and bolt remain largely bright. Stock shows various dings, nicks with a few larger gouges, rating somewhat less than metal finish. Butt plate has developed a brown patina with some oxidation at the heel. Fine bright bore. Crisp mechanics. A nice example of a very scarce, seldom seen interwar rifle with even rarer dust cover.

Manufacturer: Steyr Model: K.98 Serial No. 6219Q Caliber/Bore: 8mm Mauser Barrel Length: 23” FFL Status: Curio & Relic After Germany annexed Austria in 1938, the Luftwaffe, in desperate need for arms, took over control of the Steyr plant which was then producing M12/34 rifles for a Columbian contract. Before the factory could be retooled to produce K98 Mausers, left over M12/34 parts were assembled during a brief period from 1938 into 1939 for the Luftwaffe under the G.29(O) designation. This example is marked with the early “660” Steyr code and “1939” date.

Like all Model 520s, this could have been a riot gun that had shield and swivels added at later date. The pistol grip walnut stock is rather crudely fitted at wrist and was altered or replaced but the correct square cut for rear swivel is present along with standard black plastic butt plate. Could have been field fitted at the time and there are no cartouche stamps. The GI steel frog sling is actually two slings put together. CONDITION: Very good.

Rear of backstrap is inscribed to Major Frederick Hardy, 84th Regiment. Hardy was born in Cork on Christmas Day 1830. At the age of 14, he was given a nomination for a commission in the Army, but was not actually given a commission until November 23, 1849, when he was gazetted to an ensigncy in the 84th Regiment in India. While in India, he saw action during the 1857-1859 Indian Rebellion where he was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1857, and was awarded the Mutiny Medal for his service, with two clasps: “Lucknow” and the “Relief of Lucknow”. The 84th would return home to the UK in 1859, but before leaving, a General Order was issued thanking the 84th for their services during the campaign and ordered a salute be fired when the unit embarked on their journey home. Upon their return home, every officer, noncommissioned officer, and man was presented with a pen knife by the Cutlers Company. Captain Hardy was appointed Aide De Camp to Brigadier General Russell of the 3rd Infantry Brigade at Aldershot in May 1860. In November 1864 he obtained the rank of Major by purchase and rejoined the 84th. In May 1869 he was promoted by purchase to Lieutenant Colonel, and was promoted to Brevet Colonel in May 1874. Colonel Hardy left the 84th in December 1877 to take command of and organize the 51st and 65th Regimental Depot. In 1882 he retired on half pay. In April 1885 he was promoted to the rank of Major General, even though, due to family commitments, he was unable to accept the command he was offered. On June 28th, 1907, he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB), which is second only to knighthood. This Colt 1851 Navy is complete with Colt partitioned wood case with factory green velvet interior. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining nearly all of its period finish, with the exception of small areas of gold and silver inlay missing and minor handling marks.

Case is very good, with some scattered minor age related splits near hinges and laminate joints.

The deluxe stock features a hand cut checkered pistol grip with Winchester cap, butt plate and matching forearm. There is a letter from Cody stating that the magazine was shortened as the Maxim silencer would not fit with a full magazine, thus the half mag with the tube hanger cut still present. Both the barrel and receiver have the PW proof with the two line Winchester barrel legend on top. They surmise that the gun was returned to factory to fit for Maxim. They also surmise that scope was probably installed by factory. Of course, none of this is documented. The gun has been restored.

2267 - (A) FINE RIGBY CUSTOM WINCHESTER MODEL 1876 LEVER ACTION SHORT RIFLE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1876 Serial No. 6530 Caliber/Bore: .45-75 WCF Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique The Model 1876 was chambered for the largest calibers available in a lever action rifle in 1879 when this rifle was made. British officers stationed in India at that time found the 1876 to be the perfect weapon for Tigers and many were purchased for that purpose. Given the amount of surviving British proofed 1876 Models, the short round barrel rifles with short magazines seemed to be the preferred style. The big .50 was introduced in 1879 but up to that point, the 45-75 was the beefiest cartridge available. Research states this rifle left the factory on December 31, 1879 as a standard round rifle. It was obviously shipped to John Rigby of London where it was altered to a 22” barrel with a scarce 2/3 magazine which enabled the hunter two extra rounds. The left side plate is engraved “ J. RIGBY & CO 72 ST. JAMES’S ST. LONDON” The frame and barrel bear British proofs. A three leaf folding express sight was added with standard dove tail front sight. As was customary with the Brits, it appears is was finished by them at time of alterations as there is blue over the engraving. The frame exhibits a mirror bright high polish finish. The stocks are standard walnut with a trap door rifle butt plate. Top of barrel retains the crisp two line Winchester legend. CONDITION. Excellent. Frame retains at least 85% bright blue. The thumb print dust cover is grey patina and appears as if the finish flaked off due to finishing process. The loading gate still retains majority of the peacock nitre blue. The barrel and tube retain at least 80% blue with scattered handling marks, some patina bleeding through and thinning. The hammer and trigger still retain generous case colors. The stocks are proud to metal, solid, with scattered dings and abrasions. Action is fine. Bore is well defined. A great example of a British empire Tiger rifle. 4,000 - 6,000

2268 - (A) RARE LOUISIANA STATE MILITIA WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION MUSKET. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1866 Serial No. 33289B Caliber/Bore: .44 RF Barrel Length: 27” FFL Status: Antique 3rd model musket manufactured in 1870.

The militia was largely made up of freed African Americans and supported the post-Civil War Republican state government during Reconstruction under the command of former Confederate General James Longstreet. They acquired several hundred Winchester muskets along with Enfield rifles, using them in skirmishes with Pro-Democrat, former Confederate forces.

The violence escalated in 1873 at the Colfax Riot over the disputed 1872 gubernatorial election. The next year the Crescent City White League overtook the State House during the Battle of Liberty Place, during which 300 of the Winchester muskets were captured. With the threat of federal troops from President Grant the violence ceased and the captured arms were returned. CONDITION: Very good overall. Barrel and hands have faded to a plum patina with some older cleaned oxidation spots and freckling throughout. Receiver exhibits a very pleasant mellow golden patina with a few areas of discoloration. Hammer retains faint traces of case color, the lever faded to gray with cleaned oxidation spots. Loading gate displays significant portions of original nitre blue. Stocks have a nice age darkened appearance, some scattered impressions present along with a split running on the left side of the wrist. Lower tang screw hole is stripped.

2271 - (A) A HISTORIC WINCHESTER 1873 .44-40 LEVER ACTION RIFLE USED BY CHIEF RAIN IN THE FACE, WITH OUTSTANDING PROVENANCE. Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1873 Serial No. 14108 Caliber/Bore: .44-40 WCF Barrel Length: 20” FFL Status: Antique Chief Rain-in-the-Face, born Ite Omagazu, apocryphally earned his name after a fight with a Cheyenne boy where the blood looked like rain on his face. Chief Rain-in-the-Face first fought against the whites in the summer of 1866 when he participated in a raid against Fort Totten in what is now North Dakota, and in December 1866, he participated in the Fetterman Massacre near Fort Phil Kearny in present-day Wyoming. His first encounter with George Custer came during the Black Hills War, when he killed Dr. John Honsinger, Augustus Baliran, and Private John Ball, all of whom were attached to the 7th Cavalry as the senior veterinarian, sutler, and private, respectively.

Rain-in-the-Face returned to the Standing Rock Reservation, where he lived until 1873, when a scout named Charley Reynolds visited the Standing Rock Agency and heard Rain-in-the-Face boasting about his participation in the ambush. When Reynolds reported what he had learned, General George Custer ordered Rain-in-the-Face arrested and dispatched his younger brother, Captain Thomas Custer, to take him into custody. Thomas Custer took Rain-in-the-Face to Fort Abraham Lincoln and incarcerated him; during this time, Rain-in-the-Face legendarily told Thomas Custer that he would kill him and eat his heart. Three months later, Rain-in-the-Face escaped and returned to the reservation, then fled to the Powder River country. In the spring of 1876, he joined Sitting Bull’s band and traveled with him to the Little Big Horn River in early June. At Little Big Horn, Rainin-the-Face allegedly was the one who cut Thomas Custer’s heart out of his chest, took a bite, and spat out a piece of the heart, fulfilling his earlier threat, although other accounts indicate that Rain-in-the-Face did little to no fighting, as he was severely crippled by a lifetime of combat. Some contemporary accounts also claimed that the war chief had personally dispatched George Custer as well, but in the confused fighting, a number of similar claims have been attributed to other warriors. Late in his life, in a conversation with writer Charles Eastman, Rain-in-the-Face denied both the killing of George Custer and the mutilation of Tom Custer. After the Battle of Little Big Horn, Rain-in-the-Face joined other Hunkpapa as they fled north into Canada, spending the next several years in exile. He eventually surrendered in 1880 at Fort Keogh, Montana, alongside Spotted Eagle’s

136

band, and the following year was transferred to the Standing Rock Agency, Dakota Territory, where he later became a reservation police officer and lived the rest of his life. This rifle belonged to Rain-in-the-Face during his exile, and was likely procured for his own protection, as he and Sitting Bull had a disagreement of some kind, and Rain-in-the-Face went to Spotted Eagle’s camp, where he was tolerated but not welcome. The man who accepted his surrender was Eli L. Huggins, an American Brigadier General who served with distinction during the Indian Wars, earning the Medal of Honor at O’Fallons Creek, Montana, where he “surprised the Indians in their strong position and fought them until dark with great boldness”, per the citation. As he was so well regarded, during the closing of hostilities, Huggins was selected to parlay with Spotted Eagle and try to convince him and his band to return to the United States and settle on government-assigned reservations in exchange for clemency. A poor hunting season and dwindling supplies meant that Spotted Eagle did not reject the offer outright, and took some time to consider the offer, during which Huggins camped near Spotted Eagle, and met Rain-in-the-Face by chance when Rain-in-the-Face returned to camp. Huggins took the opportunity to speak with the Chief and shared with him some of the gifts of hardtack, sugar, and coffee that had been given to Spotted Eagle, as Spotted Eagle had distributed the gifts amongst his people, excluding Rain-in-the-Face. The gesture won Rain-in-the-Face’s confidence, and when the band departed for Fort Keogh, Rain-in-the-Face surrendered this Winchester to Huggins. Huggins recorded the interaction in several letters, included, writing that “… an old fashioned Winchester rifle which “Rain in the Face” surrendered to me more than four years after the affair that Custer was slain”. Another letter, dated 1925, records “The Winchester carbine, Model 1873, #14108, was the arm used by Rain In The Face, the famous Sioux warrior and reputed slayer of General Custer. This Sioux warrior surrendered to me in October 1880 in Montana. This carbine is now in the possession of Zeno Alexander.” and signed by Huggins. Zeno Alexander died in 1955, and a 1958 letter signed by his widow indicates that she tasked their son with selling the rifle, and he appears to have reached out to Joseph Kovatch, the known dealer, as there is some correspondence between the two. Other correspondence includes an unsigned and undated letter discussing this rifle, a reprint of the Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Vol. 39, No .1, 1948, which printed many of Huggins’s letters home, including a letter relating the interview with Rain-In-The-Face; a photo of Huggins with pencil notation on rear “Photo taken in 1892 when I was a Captain and ADC. Yours faithfully, E.L. Huggins, Zeno Alexander”; a D.F. Barry photo of Rain-in-the-Face with pencil notation on rear “Reputed slayer of Gen Custer Surrendered to me Sept. 1880 E.L.H.”; there is another word above “Custer” but appears to have been erased (perhaps a misspelling corrected?); a letter from Joseph Kovach saying that he could not offer an opinion on value without knowing the model or condition of the piece; and a Cody record search indicating the gun shipped on April 5th, 1877. The rifle is a Winchester 1873, first model, second type, with flush thumbprint dust cover. Blade front sight on magazine retaining band, two leaf rear sight, saddle ring and staple, and rifle buttplate with trap, vacant. CONDITION: Very good as plains used. Barrel is essentially a smooth mix of gunmetal grey and soft brown patina, with some bluing retained in deep recesses, such as in between barrels at forearm. Receiver commensurate, with some blue visible around plates and saddle ring, better retention on left side than right. Screws on underside of tang mangled. Stocks with markings and impressions throughout, some minor splinters missing along forearm, mostly to right side of nose. Mechanically fine, bore has strong rifling and some mild frosting. Paperwork good, but some letters are fraying at edges or age distressed, especially the unsigned letter which has darkened at edges, losing visibility, and is extremely fragile. A rifle like this with definitive ties to a decorated American soldier, one of the most famous Indian chiefs of all time, and the cessation of hostilities with the Sioux would be a prize on its own, but the recording of the gun by serial number by Huggins makes this perhaps one of the most important Indian related rifles to ever come to market! 60,000 - 90,000

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

The Winchester research states that this gun was shipped from the warehouse on May 6, 1882 with six other guns with no information on the gun at all as to model, finish, etc. This gun is a standard 3rd model saddle ring carbine with blue finish, full length magazine tube, post front sight, undated folding ladder rear sight, dust cover, saddle ring and stud, case color hammer, lever and butt plate that holds the brass head three piece cleaning rod. Stocks are oil finish straight grain American walnut. The top of barrel is stamped with the two line Winchester barrel legend and the tang has standard Winchester Model 1873 legend. The caliber is .44 but is not stamped on either the barrel nor the brass lifter. CONDITION: Excellent.

This carbine remains in about as nice condition as one could find and appears to have seen little to no use. The wood is proud to metal. The stock still has the raised grain. The left side shows one small 1/2” dent and a few very minor impressions. The matching forearm also shows a few minor impressions and two minor dents on left side. The receiver retains at least 98% bright blue with nearly all the peacock fire blue on loading gate.

There are some very light handling marks on the dust cover. Screw heads are true and retain most of the finish. There is some freckling under frame finish, a few minor striations to finish on left side plate as well as the usual saddle ring ghost line. The left side of barrel and tube rearward of front band have two small dents in same area. The muzzle shows a hint of wear. The barrel has some freckling under finish forward of the rear band and over the barrel legend. The hammer case colors are intact and brilliant.

ULRICH” for John Ulrich, one of the famed Ulrich brothers who began doing factory engraving for Winchester in the 1870s and continued until his death in 1924. Any Ulrich signed Winchester is a rarity. The engraving on this carbine is highly elegant and a nice representation of John’s work. The carbine is stocked in plain American oil finish walnut with a silver plated steel carbine butt plate engraved en suite at the heel. Matching “225” assembly numbers present on the inside of the lower tang and stock. CONDITION: Very good. Barrel and tube haves turned a pleasant smooth gray patina. The loading gate retains majority of dulling blue. The two line Winchester top barrel legend is crisp and .44 RF is stamped at breech. Receiver exhibits a pleasant mellow gold patina while the engraving has slightly darkened. Stocks appear lightly cleaned with scattered impressions. Late issue steel butt plate retains the vast majority of its plating with some loss. Rifling is strong with some abrasion. Bands are the same grey patina as barrel. Fine mechanics. An overall very nice and scarce signed example of John Ulrich’s masterful work. 15,000 - 30,000

Manufacturer: Colt Model: SAA Serial No. 4594 Caliber/Bore: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 7 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique On page 281 of “Colt Cavalry & Artillery Revolvers,” 600 of the 7th Cavalry Revolvers are estimated to have come from the fifth lot. The authors noted, “Serial numbers 4507, 4553, (4597), 4949, 4955, 5100, 5128, 5133, 5153, 5147, 5180, and 5416 all have either documented Seventh Cavalry history, or some lesser degree of Seventh Cavalry history or battle association”. All of these revolvers are from Lot Five. In the table on page 260, Custer’s command (companies C, E, F, I, and L plus ten staff and three scouts) are listed as having revolvers in the Lot Five and Lot Six range.

Lot Five revolvers, among which this revolver falls, are noted as issued to companies C, E, F, and L along with the staff and scouts.

This gun, serial number 4594, is three numbers off the above listed 4597. “At the minimum 252 and probably closer to 280 Colt Army revolvers were recovered by the warriors during the two day battle at the Little Bighorn” page 261. Given the condition of this gun, it shows years of post Custer hard use. This gun has matching numbers on the frame, trigger guard, back strap and barrel. The Ainsworth A inspector stamp is found on top of back strap, cylinder, barrel, trigger guard and base of left grip panel. The left grip panel has the inspector cartouche OWA (Orville W. Ainsworth) that is still partially readable. The assembly number 056 is stamped on loading gate. Left side of frame has distinct two line Patent date legend with strong U.S. The top of barrel has the early type one slanted single line address. Also has the early smooth donut ejector head. CONDITION: Good. No original finish. Gun is all patina with overall scattered age spotting and some corrosion. The grips are very good and solid. The action has no half cock but does have solid full cock and operates correctly. The bore is still very sharp and clean. Highly probable that this gun was lifted for use by the Indians after the battle. 5,000 - 8,000

2308 - EXTREMELY RARE US SURCHARGED ARTILLERY SUPPLY POWDER HORN.

The architecture of this horn also matches the published example, with the same turned plug with a screw base plug. Like that horn it also has the shadow of a leather suspension very close to the one evident in the other example. Far scarcer than surcharges on muskets, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity at a US surcharged powder horn.

2311 - GERMANIC HANGER WITH ORIGINAL SCABBARD. Blade Length: 24” Overall Length: 30” This Germanic hanger dates circa 1740-1780. For an identical example, see 38.SS on page 316 of “Battle Weapons of the American Revolution” by George C. Neumann. As stated in the book, these accompanied many German mercenaries serving here during the American Revolution. Slightly curved unfullered blade with deep oval crown over “F” mark on left side. Brass hilt with heart-shaped guard, one side removed during the period for sword to be flush when hanging on belt, as is often seen with this pattern when found in America. Spiraling cast brass grip and massive olive-shaped pommel with integral capstan. The cataloguer has never seen one with its original scabbard. The brown leather scabbard is original to this sword and has sheet brass mounts. The front is decorated with pressed “X” designs, as seen on 18th century leather.

CONDITION: Blade retains a polished surface, edge has been sharpened and shows several “battle nicks”, tip slightly bent. Hilt retains a pleasing dark mustard patina and is tight to blade. Scabbard excellent and still pliable, some scattered wear, excellent stitching. 1,500 - 3,000

2312 - 17TH CENTURY GERMAN OR ENGLISH WALLOON SWORD.

It has two branches with two balusters cast in each, a thumb ring, and a single downward-facing quillon.

Both sides stamped with maker’s mark of double cross with circle at top. Attractive full basket hilt with finial quillon. Left side of hilt has a large oval ring that appears on some swords throughout the 18th century. This feature, according to John Wallace’s “Scottish Swords and Dirks”, is most likely that it denotes a horseman’s sword. A horseman could shorten rein without letting go of his sword, as the oval opening allows a loop of the reins to be held in his left hand to be caught by a finger of his right. The sword also has the unusual feather of the loops in front of the guard being separate from the hilt and retained by three screws. Convex pommel with no capstan. Shagreen-wrapped grip decorated with two strands of twisted brass wire, one thin and the other thick. Turk’s head know at base off grip.

Blade Length: 33” Overall Length: 39” Three identical examples of this rare and desirable “monkey head” or “New England Lion Head” sword are illustrated in the late William Guthman’s Sept/October 1982 Man at Arms article, “Colonial Swords of New England: Part I – Lion Head Pommels”, pg. 38. Several variations on this figural pommel have been interpreted either as a monkey or a smooth-headed lion. This example is one of a small sub-group, three of which came from an attic in Maine, according to Guthman. They all have the same D-shaped slotted guard, cylindrical grips that bulge slightly in the center and taper on both ends, seemed feral between the guard and the grip, and pierced counterguard divided by a single cross bar. The pommels animal heads of this sub-group have pointed and turned noses, integrally cast ears, and toothless mouths. The blade is a triple fuller, probably Spanish variety, like the others in this grouping. As Guthman noted, the grip woods varied across the three examples he had, including one example with cherry, one with walnut, and one chestnut. This example appears to be walnut. While many other smooth headed New England lion or monkey pommels are attributed to this same group documented by Guthman, this is one of the very few that matches them identically. A rare example of a desirable and aesthetically pleasing early sword with a narrowly defined geographic source base and represents a genuine piece of American military folk art.

CONDITION: Blade retains a light brown patina and is tight to hilt. Hilt retains a pleasing dark mustard patina. Grip very good. 4,000 - 8,000 154

2315 - MASSIVE AMERICAN BONE GRIPPED CAVALRY SABER. Blade Length: 33” Overall Length: 39 - 1/2” One of the largest and most appealing Revolutionary War era cavalry sabers extant, this sword has a large spiral bone grip of 4 - 5/8”. The generous gilt-washed D-shaped guard is one continuous piece running from an integral loop mounted around the grip at the top and down the knuckle bow and forming a slotted counterguard that is pierced with a single cross bar to make four slots. The blade is blacksmith made with a single irregular fuller. It is embellished with a small rococo floral design that adds a bit of art to the simplicity and practicality of the overall design.

CONDITION: Very good. Excellent and pleasant aged patina to the bone and metal. Blade retains a brown patina, cutting edge is slightly bent about 12” from tip. The parts are solid with very little movement. Some traces of wear to the gilt wash of the guard. 4,000 - 8,000

2316 - GOLD INLAID DOUBLE-HEADED TOMAHAWK HEAD, EX. WALTER O’CONNOR. Blade Length: 1 - 9/16” Overall Length: 5 - 1/2” Two very similar double-headed axes were found at Fort Ligonier in Pennsylvania and remain in the collection at Fort Ligonier. In his collection, Walter had copies of photographs and of the inventory cards for these two similar pieces. The tomahawk offered here measures about 5 - 1/8” overall with twin 2” blades with 1 - 9/16” cutting edges, and is of forged iron construction with both cutting edges of steel. Each side of both blades has a diamond inlay engraved with borders and an inlaid band at the back, against the eye. One of the inlays was tested, and proved to be solid gold. One diamond inlay is missing and part of one band is missing. This item was dug and retains a pitted surface with some minor losses. A very decorative, early, and unusual double edged American weapon. PROVENANCE: Previously sold at Morphy Auctions as lot 10 in the September 26, 2018 single owner sale of the Collection of Walter O’Connor. 3,000 - 5,000

2317 - AMERICAN SMALL SWORD

BY JAMES GEDDY AND SONS OF WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA. Blade Length: 28 - 3/4” Overall Length: 35 - 1/2” This brass-hilted small sword is attributed to being the work of James Geddy or his sons in Williamsburg by the archeological recovery of identically decorated quillon blocks from the Governor’s Palace, the property of carpenter James Wray and, most importantly, from the Geddy foundry site, all in Williamsburg. In addition, tests of the grip identified it as American grown wood of the Birch family. Often taken as an inexpensive gentleman’s small sword, this pattern appears among those selected by British regimental commanders for infantry enlisted men from about 1720 to their abolition in 1768, and are shown in works such as Hogarth’s March of the Guards to Finchley, painted 1749-50. An identical sword in the Williamsburg collection is so identified in Mullins, “Of Sorts for Provincials,” pgs. 173-174, leading to the possibility it was a pattern selected at the company or regimental level for an American provincial or militia unit. The globe pommel mounts a capstan rivet and is decorated with classical full-standing figures and scrolling floral motifs. The floral elements are repeated midway on the knucklebow and quillon finial, which turns slightly to the right. The double clamshell guard is cast with classical and floral motifs as well. On both sides of the obverse guard reclining figures face one another with a globe between and arms hooked though a horn of plenty behind them. On the reverse guard the figures are turned away from one another and hold leafy C-scrolls. The upper edge of the guard on all sides bears a shallow basket or tray with 2 tiers of apples. This element is repeated on both sides of the quillon block with a figure carrying a similar tray or basket carrying apples, the obverse showing 2 tiers of apples and reverse, 1. The scene has been interpreted as Heracles or Atlas bearing the apples of the Hesperides, a fitting motif for a colonial American sword since the myth involves a journey west to the end of the world. The wood core of the grip is present with 4-strand Turk’s head knots of twisted brass wire present top and bottom, but the wire wrap is missing. The blade is straight, double edged, tapering gently to a spearpoint, with a short, narrow, central fuller extending 3 - 1/4” from the guard, with “- I - - H - - I -” stamped in the fuller and a rubbed blade maker mark just below.

CONDITION: Very good. The blade is silver gray in tone with good edge and point, having just scattered dark gray spots and areas of shallow freckling. The hilt is tight. The reverse grip had a 2” x 1/2” rectangle removed for analysis that confirmed the American origin of the wood. This could and should be restored by a competent conservator. The Turk’s head knots are undisturbed. The upper pas-d’ane ring is missing about half its length. The lower is full length, but the end is bent slightly and curves over the counterguard. The quillon finial curves to the right, probably intended.

The sword is accompanied by a draft article by Hartzler on the sword and the few other known parallels, grouping it with 2 others showing signs of sand-casting and unrefined details in the brass elements indicating he was working from other examples. James Geddy I arrived in Williamsburg by 1733 and died there in 1744. Sons David and William carried on the gunsmith, cutlery, and foundry trade, but sons James II and John, silversmiths, would also have been capable of the work. 3,000 - 6,000

2325 - (A) RARE FRENCH MODEL 1754 MARINE FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Manufacturer: French Model: 1754 Caliber/Bore: .78 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 46 - 5/8” FFL Status: Antique Perhaps the only one still in existence, as there are no other known examples of this scarce model made for French naval shipboard use with all brass furniture, manufactured during the French & Indian/Seven Years War. French reference books contain references, but no images nor listings, of yet existing examples of this model. One feature that solidifies manufacture for shipboard use is the brass trigger guard which was never drilled for a sling swivel. The smoothbore barrel has the typical 1754 7 - 1/2” faceted breech section and tapered top flat extending to the muzzle band.

There is an iron bayonet lug mounted on top, towards the muzzle. The French Model 1754 lock appears to have faint St. Etienne and IF crowned “c” inspectors stamps in the center. All of the furniture is brass, including the rounded buttplate (same as Model 1754 Dragoon musket) and brass center band, that, with the full length barrel, distinguishes it from the Model 1754 Dragoon musket. The muzzle band has a triangular reinforced trumpeted opening for the ramrod also similar to that of the Model 1754 Dragoon musket, although the back of the band differs in shape. The center band is also spring-retained and identical to the iron 1754 Infantry musket’s band with an integral sling swivel mount, except in this case, the center band is of brass. The rearmost band is pressure fitted and also of brass. The full-length walnut stock has the initials “IL” carved into the left side of the buttstock indicating colonial or early American use. Iron ramrod is a modern replacement. CONDITION: Barrel retains a dark heavy patina and scattered pitting, indicating naval use. Lock appears to be in its original flintlock configuration, although the frizzen screw and frizzen spring screws are likely more recent or perhaps earlier period replacements. Lock retains a mostly dark, heavy patina with scattered areas of pitting consistent with the barrel. A piece of brass had been laid in towards the back of the pan during its period of use. All brass retains a very dark brown-mustard patina and has not been polished, showing scattered marks from use. Stock shows age cracks, small chips and scattered marks and bruises from use.

Overall, this is an extremely rare and desirable French Naval Musket, and is perhaps the last remaining example of the 1754 French naval model.

Lock tail marked “GRICE / 1761” and engraved with crown over “GR” in center, marked below pan with crown and broad arrow ordnance mark, denoting government ownership. Standard brass pattern 1756 furniture. Walnut stock of classic British form, relief carved apron around barrel tang. CONDITION: Barrel retains a heavy brown patina with some heavy pitting. Lock is a very good and very well-aged professional reconversion. Brass retains a very dark patina. Stock shows heavy old finishes on buttstock, some losses behind pan from percussion corrosion and front 28” of forend professionally restored and nearly perfectly blended. A very good representative example of this important Revolutionary War longarm that displays very well. 5,000 - 10,000

Manufacturer: Liege Model: Short Land Pattern Brown Bess Caliber/Bore: .75 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 41 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique For another example and extensive information on this pattern, see pages 122-131 of “The Brown Bess” by Erik Goldstein & Stuart Mowbray.

The musket is of the standard British Pattern specifications with the Tower proofs on the top of the barrel toward the breech. Behind the barrel tang is a deeply stamped “33” in the appropriate period font. The wrist escutcheon is engraved “D/55”. It is possible that the musket was marked here in America for the 33rd British Regiment, known as the most battle hardened redcoats of the Revolutionary War. The lock is inscribed “TOWER” at the tail and has a large engraved crown over “GR” in the center. Below the pan is stamped with a crown, as it should be for these Liege manufactured muskets purchased

by Britain. The brass furniture is of the Pattern 1769 type and the serpentine sideplate is flat. The walnut stock is stamped on the apron behind the barrel tang “33”. The right side of the buttstock has many stamps including “D / 6 / 3 / 7 / P” and deeply carved initials “IL” on the left side.

CONDITION: Barrel retains a light brown patina, markings show some wear. Lock retains a light grey/brown patina and has excellent markings. The brass mounts have a pleasing dark mustard patina and a small crack through rear triggerguard tang screw. Stock has a pleasing smooth surface with scattered bruises, age cracks and marks from use. Some slivers missing along forend. Overall, a very nice example of this pattern.

2357 - 16TH-17TH CENTURY MUNITIONS GRADE “IRISH” BASKET HILTED BROADSWORD, AS USED IN EARLY VIRGINIA. Blade Length: 32” Overall Length: 38” A munitions grade example of the classic form of early “Irish” basket hilt common to the Anglo-Scottish and Irish forces of the 1500s and early 1600s and bearing a close relationship to the earliest British American colonial contexts. It particularly bears commonalities to those archaeologically associated with the earliest English colonization efforts of Virginia. It has all the characteristics of the “Irish” hilt swords of the Elizabethan period: the pleasing large round pommel, complex six bar basket of thin bars, and shields interrupting the bars in two places. The pommel bears an incised double lined cross. It has a triple fuller double edged broadsword blade. Famed archaeologist Ivor Noel Hume discusses similar rounded pommels found at Jamestown and other early 17th century colonial sites in his The Archaeology of Martin’s Hundred: Part 1 Interpretive Studies (page 404, particularly footnote 415). An example with different quillons but a similar large round pommel and overall shape was found in the wreckage of Henry VIII’s flagship the Mary Rose. They also appear in a circa 1540 portrait of William Palmer as a gentleman pensioner, available for viewing on the Royal Armories website. For similar examples, see Mowbray, British Military Swords, Volume I, pgs. 110-125. CONDITION: The guard retains a brown patina and the grip is a modern replacement, but acceptable for a such a rare early example. The hole in the pommel does not meet the opposite branch in the guard, perhaps indicating that it originally held a vertical branch with a screw connecting it to the pommel, as in some other surviving examples. Blade retains a brown patina with some areas of heavier patina. 2,000 - 4,000

2386 - (A) FINE PAIR OF SCOTTISH FLINTLOCK PISTOLS BY JOHN CAMPBELL ATTRIBUTED TO KENNETH MACKENZIE, LEADER OF CLAN MACKENZIE. Manufacturer: (BOTH) John Campbell Model: (BOTH) Scottish Pistol Caliber/Bore: (BOTH) .54 Smoothbore Barrel Length: (BOTH) 6 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique According to “The Scottish Pistol” by Martin Kelvin, only 42 total pistols, inclusive of 18 pairs, made by John Campbell the 2nd of Doune, who worked between 1750 and 1775, are in existence. This pair date to around 1750-1760 and are of classic ramshorn butt form and are profusly engraved with scrolls throughout as well as inlaid with silver geometric designs on tops of grips and engraved silver bands on bottoms of stocks. Three stage engraved barrels with classic faceted flared muzzles. Locks signed “John Campbell” in script. Steel stocks with silver oval escutcheons on both sides of grips, the right sides engraved with family crests and mottos attributed to Kenneth McKenzie. Engraved steel belt hooks mounted on left sides, opposite locks. Engraved silver ball triggers and touchhole picks. Turned steel ramrods. The last time that these pistols were offered, research by a previous owner suggested that Kenneth Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Seaforth, was the most likely owner, as he used this version of the clan motto and crest. During the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, Kenneth’s grandfather William, the 5th Earl of Seaforth, supported the claim of the pretender James Stuart against George I of England. After the Jacobites were defeated, William was attainted, making his property and titles forfeit, and further preventing him from passing them to his children.

Blade Length: (A) 71cm (B) 40.8cm Overall Length: (A) 39” (B) 23 - 3/4” Literally “long and short” the daisho was the pair of swords worn by samurai, mandated in 1629 and restricted to samurai in 1683; they are the quintessential samurai item.

The daito (long sword) is signed by Nakata Kanehide, born 1913, student of 12th generation Kawashima Masahide beginning in 1928. In 1937, he is recorded in Seki as a student of Watanabe Kanenaga, and in November of that year was a chief student at Kanenaga’s school. He left the school in 1940, and in 1941 became a Rikugun Jumei Tosho. After the war, he started making swords again in 1954, and is last recorded in Imonoshiya. See Slough, pg. 41. 71cm nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form, ubu nakago signed “Noshu Ju Kanehide Saku” and dated a day in the 12th month of Showa 48 (December, 1973), with katte sagari yasurime, single mekugi-ana, and kiri nakagojiri. Gold foiled habaki with a carved design of falling rain. Features a very tight itame hada with some sots of mokume burls, a thin suguha with ashi; the feeling is that of Yamashiro, particularly Enju. The shoto (short sword) is suriage, and of late Muromachi form. 40.8cm (approximately 16”) nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form. Nakago with kiri nakagojiri, kiri yasruime, and single mekugi-ana. Silver foil habaki with carved design of falling rain. Grain is a mixture of mokume and itame, temper is a straight suguha with a bright nioiguchi, o-maru boshi, and hakikake. Mounts are extremely similar, with roiro saya, tsuba in the form of pierced fans accented with damascene on wakizashi, and with gold dots on the katana. Katana with fuchi-lashira incised with designs of sewing tools, dragonfly menuki, and nice, high quality sa-me with large nodules. Wakizashi fuchi with a tengu spirit, menuki in the form of samurai, and kashira depicting a scholar; both mounts fit with tsunagi.

CONDITION: Katana is very good, healthy, with some minor handling marks and one minute strike at mune on left side, and surface mossing up the mune. Wakizashi with some looseness in the hada, with areas of shintetsu, and one area of oxidation at mune, but otherwise good with clear features. Mounts are very good with some age related discoloration, but solid and highly attractive. 5,000 - 10,000 2534 - WAKIZASHI ATTRIBUTED TO ECHIZEN KANENORI WITH SAYAGAKI BY KANZAN. Blade Length: 19 - 7/16” Overall Length: 29 - 3/8” 49.4cm (approximately 19 - 7/16”) nagasa of classic shinogi zukuri form. Highly active and attractive gunome midare hamon with plentiful nie, sunagashi, tobiyaki, and ashi.

Nioiguchi is tight and bright. Boshi somewhat indistinct but looks like ichimai or a very tight ko-maru. Nicely executed suriage with kiri yasurime, one mekugi-ana. Gold foil habaki with carved design of falling rain. Mumei, but with an attribution to Echizen Kanenori by the highly respected Kanzan Sato. With sword bag. CONDITION: Excellent, in great polish showing off the hamon extremely well. Some looseness at the shinogi near munemachi and some mossing on the shinogi line at the hamachi. Sayagaki somewhat difficult to read. A very attractive blade with sayagaki from a highly respected member of the nihonto community. 800 - 1,500 2535 - KATAKIRIBA ZUKURI WAKIZASHI BY MINAMOTO MASATUSGU. Blade Length: 20 - 7/16” Overall Length: 31” 52cm (approximately 20 - 7/16”) of the Katakiriba Zukuri form, where the left side is a flat hira zukuri and the right is shobu zukuri.

Hamon (temper line) is a well executed thin suguha, with a clear ko-maru boshi on the shobu zukuri side, and more more indistinct, possibly mishina, boshi on hira zukuri side. Surface grain with masame grain throughout and some areas of itame. Utsuri visible throughout both sides. Left side with a horimono of a hatahoko (a halberd with a standard wrapped around it), which the right side is signed “Joushu Kasama Junin Minamoto Masatsugu”. Masatsugu, born Hoshiro Takehachiro, worked circa 1864-1865 in Hitachi province and worked for the Makino family of Kasama. This sword has no papers, but Mike Yamasaki has agreed to guarantee the signature if submitted to shinsa through him within 1 calendar year of purchase. Ubu nakago with iriyamagata, almost kengyo, jiri, and with patination that has obfuscated yasurime. Plain copper habaki. CONDITION: Very good, in good polish, with some looseness not uncommon to masame. Some surface scratches, primarily to shobu zukuri side, and some very minor mossing at machi. Shirasaya very good but mekugi does not sit flush. An interesting sword of an unusual shape.

Manufacturer: Remington Model: No. 1 Serial No. 2530 Caliber/Bore: .45 2 1/2” CF Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique This is a true buffalo rifle in that the barrel breech is taller than the frame.

The barrel is full octagon with a knife blade front sight and a buckhorn rear sight.

Barrel has no legends but serial number is at base of barrel. The case color receiver is marked with Remington legend on tang.

The barrel is a baby smooth blue brown soft patina. The case colors have silvered out with scattered age freckling.

Manufacturer: Remington Model: No. 1 Sporter Serial No. 5632 Caliber/Bore: .40-50 Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique Mid-range guns generally have part octagon barrels but this is a special order sporting rifle.

Forearm has the metal tip. Remington legend is stamped on top of barrel. CONDITION: Very good. There are no remaining case colors on receiver which is now a freckled patina.

Manufacturer: Remington Model: No. 3 Serial No. 5310 Caliber/Bore: .50 Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique This rifle was made as early as 1883, well after the buffalo were virtually wiped out, but this rifle is a Big 50, probably a 50-90 Sharps straight.

Gun more closely resembles a No. 3 Gallery ( .22 rimfire) but, like any early single shot, a customer could get what he wanted. This rifle has the rebated receiver with Marlin legend on left side. It features double set triggers (working), a plain pistol grip walnut Schuetzen style stock with roll over cheek piece and brass Swiss butt plate. The stock has a metal color or buffer installed at wrist, most likely due to the fact that these Ballards tend to get hairlines at wrist as does this example on both sides. The forearm has three holes meant to mount a palm rest. The mounted octagon to round barrel features holes in face for a false muzzle loading guide. The top of barrel is stamped M. S. HENDRICK . Merton S. Hendrick was a renowned maker of target rifles in Aurora, Illinois, from 1868 until well after 1900. He was born in New York, in 1842, and died in Aurora, Illinois, in 1930.

BARREL C: The third barrel (22 CAL) with scope is an overall smooth patina with a defined bore . 2,000 - 4,000

Unertl very good, clear with crisp reticle. Stock very good with some scattered handling marks and impressions, with a small repaired chip at toe.

Manufacturer: Remington Model: Hepburn Serial No. 2890 Caliber/Bore: .38-55 Ballard Barrel Length: 28” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This is an interesting gun. The serial number on the receiver is 2890. According to the Hepburn book by Tom Rowe, on page 409, shows this gun as a Long Range Creedmoor with a 32” barrel, Rigby flats, in 44 - 2 4/10”. The barrel and forearm are number 8026 which is recorded on page 451 as a .32-40 in a 26” part octagon barrel. Under the barrel is now stamped “38-55” along with stamp of George W Gemmill, Troy, New York, who was a custom gunsmith until he died in 1914. It would seem that George obtained the barrel & forearm of rifle number 8026, rechambered to .38-55 and put them together with the receiver and stock from the number 2890 long range model listed. Gun features the heavy octagon barrel with the Remington Arms barrel legend. The barrel is 28” with recessed crown. It sports a spirit level globe front sight but not the same as one pictured in book on page 379. The short staff Vernier sight with 2” elevation is pictured on page 381. Other features include a nickel plated Swiss butt plate. The finely figured American walnut stock with checkered round knob with roll over cheek piece. The forearm has same checkering pattern and tone with nickel forearm cap. CONDITION: Excellent. As custom built prior to 1914, the barrel is a butter smooth plum blue patina blend with sharp barrel legend. Receiver retains nearly all the case color on both sides, some toning. Breech block is nitre blue. Stock is excellent, sharp checkering with minor impressions and handling. Forearm is in commensurate condition. Action works fine. Bore is bright. 2,000 - 3,000

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

During the Irish War of Independence, the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) requested Webley to manufacture a variant of the then-standard 6”-barelled Mark VI .455 revolver with a 4” barrel, since most of the police (and both “Black and Tans” and “Auxies”) rode in motor vehicles, and the long 6” barrel of the Mark VI did not ride well in lorries or Crossley Tenders. According to one source, less than only about 3,000 of these variants were ever produced—as opposed to 300,000 long-barreled Mk VIs. Front sight machine directly into rib, marked with typical legends throughout, including British proofs over each chamber of cylinder. Holster guides, iconic top break, and vulcanite grips make for the iconic Webley appearance. PROVENANCE: Kenneth SmithChristmas collection. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining the vast majority of the original factory finish with distension still visible about the proofs on cylinder from application of stamp. Some thinning to silver at high edges, high traffic areas such as strap, trigger, and bottom of barrel are gunmetal grey with flashes of color. Mechanically fine, cylinder is not trimmed and still chambered for .455, bore excellent with strong rifling and very mild frosting. 1,500 - 2,500

3051 - (A) “THE FRANKENSPENCER” SPENCER MODEL 1865 REPEATING RIFLE USED BY PRIVATE COPP AT THE BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY. Manufacturer: Spencer Rifle Company Model: 1865 Serial No. 2425 Caliber/Bore: .50 RF Barrel Length: 30” FFL Status: Antique This .56-50 M1865 Spencer rifle is one of only four documented extant firearms known to have survived the pivotal battle of Ridgeway during the First Fenian Raid in June 1866. The other three (a Spencer carbine, a Type II P53 Enfield rifle-musket, and a M1863 Bridesburg rifle-musket) are all in Canadian museums. This rifle’s incredible story has been featured in numerous publications (ICOMAM Magazine, Journal of the Company of Military Historians, American Rifleman, etc.) in recent years (2019-2023), as well as being the subject of several presentations to groups like the Virginia Gun Collectors Association and the Company of Military Historians. This rifle has also been displayed in exhibits about Fenian arms in Princeton, New Jersey, Baltimore, Maryland, and Fairfax, Virginia. The rifle is as it was acquired with its oddly mismatched fore stock and barrel bands. There are detailed photos of the rifle in the 2023 American Rifleman “Frankenspencer” article. Nicknamed the “Frankenspencer”, the rifle’s story, detailing Private Copp’s (No 5 Co, 2d Bn “Queen’s Own Rifles”) wounding while firing the rifle at Ridgeway, and its subsequent “restoration”

by Private John Hamilton (18th London Bn) that summer, accounts for the many anomalies apparent with this historically-significant Spencer. However, they are all important clues to its nearly unbelievable provenance. The rifle was used by Private Walter Brown Copp during the Fenian Raid, and a painting shows him with his Spencer rifle, missing the forestock, and a bandaged left hand; presumably, he was shot in the wrist while firing his rifle, which wounded him and shattered the forestock. To repair it, the gun was turned over to J. Hamilton, who Canada paid the sum of $38.46 for “repairing rifles”. John Hamilton was a private in the 7th Batallion, which arrived at Ridgeway the day after the battle, and, as a blacksmith, was contracted to repair the rifles, including the Spencer with the damaged forearm. Unfortunately, as related in the article, the slip of paper that John Hamilton left in the stock to verify his work was accidentally discarded a number of years ago, but its presence was recorded in the same article.

Finding a true battlefield gun is an extreme rarity, especially one that can be definitely assigned to a soldier who was wounded in the fighting.

PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal with a smooth, soft brown patina throughout, with some flashes of dove grey at the muzzle. Receiver with a mottled appearance, and trigger guard tang is a correct replacement with case colors. Buttstock very good with scattered dings and impressions throughout, forestock as made by John Hamilton, somewhat folky, with a grain separation on left side near receiver, and some other scattered handling marks and impressions; one can still definitively see the filled in ramrod channel, presumably done after Hamilton realized that Spencer rifles do not have ramrods. Mechanically fine, bore with strong, well defined rifling and even frosting. 3,000 - 5,000

3052 - (C) AN IMPORTANT AND VERY SCARCE IRISH MAUSER C96 SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOL. Manufacturer: Mauser Model: C96 Serial No. 39466 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 5 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This 9mm (“Red Nine”) Mauser “Broomhandle” pistol (SN# 39466) is one of 270 Mauser pistols that the Irish Defense Forces disposed of at auction in 1990 and was acquired by Century Arms, according to documents acquired in the 1990s. For full details of its history, see https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/mauser-broomhandlepistols-in-ireland-an-update/ as this article not only features this pistol, but also details the use of “Peter the Painters” (as they were known in Ireland) by the Irish Volunteers. This pistol was also featured (and fired) in a program on “The Guns of 1914” that aired on the NRA’s American Rifleman TV in 2014 for the Centennial of World War I. The pistol is marked “Oberndorf” over the chamber, and has matching full or partial numbers on bolt carrier, bolt stop, locking block, frame, subframe, sear, hammer, and inside both grip scale. Import marked for CAI under barrel. This pistol also comes with one original “DM” stripper clip and a plain pair of wooden grips without the “Red 9.” This “Painter” was used for more than ten years in various Living History programs that centered on the activities of the West Cork Flying Column during the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921), as well as programs about the “Fingal Volunteers” (5th Bn, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers) at the 1916 Battle of Ashbourne, where it was a focus of attention among attendees at a number of these events.

This pistol was also displayed in exhibits at presentations about Irish Nationalist arms to several gun-collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region, and it was also featured in a 2004 article in Shooters’ Bible. There are only about thirty (at most) of these pistols left in Ireland, and most of them are in museums. Those few guns in the hands of private collectors in Ireland have been demilitarized. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection.

CONDITION: Very good, with the majority of the original factory bluing retained throughout, with distensions about proofs from application of samples. Silvering to high edges and scattered throughout, heaviest on barrel. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with strong rifling. 3,000 - 5,000

3053 - (A) AMBERG MANUFACTURED MODEL 1871 IRISH “HOWTH” MAUSER BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Amberg Model: 1871 Mauser Serial No. 2131 Caliber/Bore: 11mm Mauser Barrel Length: 33 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique This 11mm M1871 Mauser is one of a group of “old Mausers” that the Irish Defense Forces sold to arms dealer Sam Cummings (Interarms) in 1959, along with shiploads of Irish SMLE rifles, handguns, machine guns, and artillery. The story of the Mausers’ sale and acquisition can be found in two articles in Man at Arms magazine: “The Irish Howth Mausers: Where Are They Now” (August 2019) and “The ‘Howth’ Mauser Saga: An Update” (December 2022). Both of these articles conclusively confirm the Irish provenance of many of the Model 1871 Mauser rifles that are now in American gun collections. This rifle is marked with an “M” and “C” stamping near its bolt handle, and it has a large, and very stylized, “RM” carved into the reverse of its butt stock—all of which are telltale indicators of an Irish Howth Mauser. There an incised “Myy18” (?, difficult to read) on right side of butt. This rifle was purchased directly from Potomac Arms in Alexandria, Virginia (Interarms’ retail outlet) by a previous owner in the 1960s. As is the case with many of the Howth Mausers that were imported by Interarms (and then sold through a variety of retailers) this rifle has a mismatched bolt—“88253”—but it chambers and fires .43 Mauser commercial ammunition. This Mauser rifle was used (and fired with blanks for demonstration) for about ten years in various Living History programs that centered on the activities of the “Fingal Volunteers” (5th Bn, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers) during the Battle of Ashbourne, the only tactical success on the part of the insurgents in the 1916 Easter Rising, and it was a focus of attention among attendees at a number of these historical events. This rifle was displayed in exhibits at presentations about Irish Nationalist arms to several gun-collecting clubs in the mid-Atlantic region, and it was featured in “Guns of the Easter Rising” in the September 2013 issue of the American Rifleman magazine as well as in a 2004 article about Irish Nationalist arms in Shooter’s Bible. The Irish Volunteers only smuggled 1,500 of these Mausers into Howth and Kilcoole from Germany in 1914. Many of them were destroyed during and after the 1916 Easter Rising, and it is estimated that Interarms was only able to bring a few hundred of these guns into the United States from Ireland in the late 1950s and early 1970s, and less than thirty of them remain in Ireland, mostly in museums. Many of those rifles in private collections in Ireland have, by regulations, been rendered inoperable and they command exorbitant prices at auction. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal is bright throughout with some surface level discoloration and a few very minor areas of fine oxidation. Stocks excellent with handling marks with scattered handling marks and impressions throughout as befits a gun that was used during an insurgency. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with strong rifling and a few scattered areas of darkness that do not detract. 2,000 - 4,000

3054 - (A) STEYR MODEL 1871 HOWTH MAUSER BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Steyr Model: 1871 Serial No. 8010 Caliber/Bore: 11mm Mauser Barrel Length: 33 - 3/4” FFL Status: Antique This 11mm M1871 Mauser most likely is one of a group of “old Mausers” that the Irish Defense Forces sold to arms dealer Sam Cummings (Interarms) in 1959, along with shiploads of Irish SMLE rifles, handguns, machine guns, and artillery. The story of the Mausers’ sale and acquisition can be found in two articles in Man at Arms magazine: “The Irish Howth Mausers: Where Are They Now” (August 2019), and “The ‘Howth’ Mauser Saga: An Update” (December 2022.) Both of these articles conclusively confirm the Irish provenance of many of the Model 1871 Mauser rifles that are now in American gun collections. This particular rifle has the telltale “M” (County Meath?) stamping on its wooden stock, underneath the bolt.

This rifle was purchased from an advertisement (NY state) on Gunbroker in 2015. This Austrian-made rifle is marked “Steyr” and has some wear to its finish. As is the case with many of the Howth Mausers that ended up in the USA, it has a replacement bolt, numbered 5143. This Mauser rifle was carried (but not fired) briefly in two Living History programs that centered on the activities of the “Fingal Volunteers” (5th Bn, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers) during the Battle of Ashbourne—the only tactical success on the part of the insurgents in the 1916 Easter Rising—and it was a focus of attention among the attendees at a number of these historical events. This rifle was discussed and featured in both of the Man at Arms articles mentioned above. The Irish Volunteers only smuggled 1,500 of these Mausers into Howth and Kilcoole from Germany in 1914. Many of them were destroyed during and after the 1916 Easter Rising. It is estimated that Interarms was only able to bring a few hundred of these guns into the United States from Ireland in the late 1950s and early 1970s, and less than thirty of them remain in Ireland, mostly in museums. Many of those rifles in private collections in Ireland have, by regulations, been rendered inoperable and they command exorbitant prices at auction. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal is essentially a smooth dovegrey and soft brown mixture, with evidence of an old, possibly period refinish that has softened legends somewhat. Bolt with evidence of heavy corrosion in the past, now stabilized. The lower barrel band spring is broken. Stock very good, possibly with an extra layer of varnish added, with scattered handling marks and impressions, including a small grain check at wrist. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with strong rifling and some very mild frosting. 2,000 - 4,000

Manufacturer: Steyr Model: 1904 Serial No. 12469 Caliber/Bore: 8x57mm Mauser Barrel Length: 28 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Fearing the granting of Home Rule to Ireland in 1913, thousands of Ulstermen swore an oath to resist this effort by force. They planned and executed the clandestine purchase and very successful importation of thousands of rifles: commercial export Mannlichers, German Gewehr 88s, and Italian Vetterli-Vitalis. This rifle is one of the very few extant remaining turn-bolt Mannlichers. Most of these UVF rifles were surrendered to the British in the 1920s, and were then given to the Ethiopians by the British to resist Mussolini in the 1930s. Only a handful of them have survived anywhere.

This particular rifle was featured in an American compendium of guns that was produced in the 1950s, and it can be identified by the stampings on its butt stock: “12469” and the UVF’s “Red Hand of Ulster” (“For God And Ulster”) insignia. Its serial number, 12469, is both on the receiver and on the butt stock. Accompanying this rifle is a unique Mannlicher charger clip that was a gift from the late Herb Woodend of the MOD Pattern Room.

Herb had saved it from his “family” guns in Northern Ireland in the 1960s, which are now in the Royal Armouries collection in Leeds, England. This rifle was featured in a 2004 Shooters’ Bible article and has been displayed in exhibitions for gun collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region over the past 20 years. If there are any other surviving examples of this very rare gun in any American gun collections, they most likely could be counted on the fingers of one hand, if that. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Excellent, with the vast majority of the original bluing throughout, with some superficial scratches and freckling to barrel and receiver and thinning to sharp edges. Stock with handling marks and impressions throughout, with a few chips missing, primarily at forearm recess. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with strong rifling. UVF cartouche crisp and clear. Charger with some patination throughout. 1,500 - 2,500

3056 - (C) SCARCE ROYAL MARINE MARKED ROSS RIFLE COMPANY M-10 MK III STRAIGHT PULL RIFLE. Manufacturer: Ross Rifle Company Model: M-10 Serial No. PLY1077 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 30 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured in Canada, this example is marked with “PLY / 1077” identification numbers on barrel extension and bolt handle indicate World War I service with the Plymouth Division Royal Marine Light Infantry. This rifle was featured in an online American Rifleman Article, “The Ross Rifle in Ireland” in September 2021. Rifle remains in full military configuration with arsenal blued finish, hooded blade front sight, adjustable rear sight, straight pull action, and “1915” dated 2 piece walnut stock. Interestingly, a special battalion of Royal Marines Light Infantry carried Ross rifles in Ireland between 1919 and 1921. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Very good overall. Rifle retains the vast majority of its arsenal applied blue with areas of fading, especially on the magazine. Wood appears cleaned long ago with markings somewhat faint and scattered impressions throughout. Lightly frosted bore with strong, well defined rifling. Fine mechanics. 1,000 - 2,000

3057 - (A) AN IRISH FENIAN RAID BRIDESBURG MODEL 1861 CONTRACT MUSKET. Manufacturer: Bridesburg Model: 1861 Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled Barrel Length: 40” FFL Status: Antique

This 1862 dated rifle-musket was one of the first 1,000 guns delivered by the Jenks company to the Fenian Brotherhood in January 1866, as it is marked with an “IR” and a shamrock on its stock, opposite the lock plate. The next 6,500 guns were marked with an “IN”, as were a few other long arms acquired by the Fenians in the spring of 1866. It very well could have seen service at the Battle of Ridgeway in 1866, and most likely did at Eccles Hill in 1870 as it has been fired, and shows signs of neglect with its badly pitted bore. The gun came from a Vermont estate via an antique arms dealer from Maine. When the rifle-musket was restored by the Fenians, after its return to them in 1867, the Fenians replaced the middle barrel band with a hand made part, and replaced its rear sight with a crude “V” sight, both of which are present. Removing sights on confiscated muzzleloaders was the federal government’s method of temporary demilitarization. This musket has been featured in an online Sep 2020 article about the First Fenian Raid in the American Rifleman, and has been displayed in several exhibits about Fenian arms in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Although conserved and preserved, it looks like how it would have appeared after being picked up at Eccles Hill in 1870. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Barrel largely a smooth gunmetal grey with some ochre discoloration, and heavy pitting about the breech as befits heavy use, such as at Eccles Hill. Stock very good as cleaned and conserved, with some dings and marks; shamrock and IR cartouche crisp.

Mechanically fine, bore pitted as aforementioned. 1,000 - 2,000

3058 - (A) WEBLEY MARK III .38 DOUBLE ACTION POCKET REVOLVER. Manufacturer: P. Webley & Son Model: Mark III Serial No. 23010 Caliber/Bore: .38/200 Barrel Length: 3” FFL Status: Antique Essentially a scaled down Webley for concealed carry, with British proofs throughout, left side topbreak, and fixed sights. Typical legends throughout, including a stamped “R.I.C. 141” on its back strap, and is the type of revolver plains clothes detectives carried during the Irish War of Independence.

It is complete, and mechanically sound. Featured in several American Rifleman articles, this revolver was also displayed in several exhibits for gun collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region. The revolver came from a Vermont dealer in the mid-1990s, at the time Canada imposed draconian regulations on handgun owners, and it may have come from Newfoundland, where some former “Black and Tans” had emigrated in the early 1920s to serve on that police force. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Very good, retaining approximately 30% of the high polish bluing, balance mixed with plum brown and soft gunmetal grey. Legends are crisp throughout and legible. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with strong, bright rifling and a touch of frost towards muzzle. A rare gun, made more so by the Royal Irish Constabulary association. 1,000 - 1,500

3059 - (A) FENIAN BRIDESBURG NEEDHAM CONVERSION. Manufacturer: Bridesburg Model: Needham Conversion Caliber/Bore: .58 CF Barrel Length: 37 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique This .58 Center Fire (actually chambered for .577 Snider) rifle was converted from a Bridesburg rifle-musket into a breechloader in 1869-70, after it most likely had seen service during the First Fenian Raid of 1866. An 1862 dated M1861 Bridesburg, this rifle not only has the telltale hallmark of a Fenian rifle (an “IN” stamped in its stock, opposite the lock, and signifying part of the second batch of Bridesburgs received from Jenks & Co in 1866), but its fore stock has been cut in a “V” and pegged, under the middle barrel band. As is the case with many of the Fenian Needham conversions, this rifle is missing its firing pin and spring, as well as its ramrod. After confiscation by federal authorities, many Needhams were “demilitarized” in this fashion. The number on its hammer wedge, and inside the hammer, is “452”. This rifle was featured in an article in the Journal of the Company of Military Historians in 2017, as well as in an article in Shooter’s Bible in 2004. This Needham is also included on the popular website about Fenian Needham rifles: www.pioneerarmsworks.com. Until recently, all sources have stated the Fenians converted 5,020 rifle-muskets into Needham breechloaders. However, according to the data assembled by Robert Morris, it now appears that less than 2,000 were actually converted, and that 700 were lost in a fire in Lincoln, Nebraska. Consequently, apparently only a few more than 1,000 of these guns survived into the 20th Century. Its pegged splice is a very rare variation, and this rifle is the quintessential example of the only firearm ever developed specifically for the cause of Irish freedom. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal with an even mixture of gunmetal grey and soft brown patina, heavier at muzzle and at breech block. Stock with handling marks and impressions throughout, with a grain separation at butt and some chips missing around bands, and a large piece glued back in ahead of the breechblock. Mechanically fine, bore good with some scattered oxidation. 1,000 - 2,000 3060 - (A) ENFIELD MARK II SNIDER SERGEANTS TWO BANDED SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Manufacturer: Enfield Model: Mark II Snider Caliber/Bore: .577 Snider Barrel Length: 30 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique

This MkII** Snider short (“sergeants”) two-banded rifle is marked with a DC in a lozenge over a “3”, in a vertical format on the “inboard” side of its wooden butt stock, and is marked “3” over a “326” adjacent to the first marking, but at right angles to it. The marking signifies that it was carried by an NCO in the Third Battalion (“Victoria Rifles”) of Montreal—one of the few Canadian militia units that actually fought in the Battle of Eccles Hill during the Second Fenian Raid of 1870. Moreover, the wood on the side of the breech is badly scorched, indicating a significant rapid firing—and not what was ever done on a Canadian militia practice shooting range. The only other Snider known to have been at the battle (one carried by the 60th Bn) also has severe scorching around its breech. The rifle is marked “Enfield 1868” on its lock plate, and is complete with its proper chained “snap cap”, although the rear sling swivel on the rear trigger guard tang is missing. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: The scorching in the bed of the stock extends from the breech tang to the lower band. There is an overall freckling of old black rust spots with a nice patina, and the breechblock and interior of the breech “shoe” show evidence of intensive use. The rifling is strong in the bore, but it has a few dark spots and some pitting. Stock very good with some handling marks and impressions throughout, and some minor chipping abutting breechblock.

PROVENANCE: The Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. The former owner who sold it online several years ago claimed to have bought it at a yard sale in Arizona, but there is no other known provenance. This rifle has been featured in an American Rifleman video about Sniders, and in various exhibitions of Fenian Raid arms in the Mid-Atlantic region, and it was referenced in the ”Britishmuzzleloaders” four-part video series on Eccles Hill.

3061 - (A) FENIAN BRIDESBURG NEEDHAM CONVERSION. Manufacturer: Bridesburg Model: Needham Conversion Serial No. SP43 Caliber/Bore: .58 CF Barrel Length: 37 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique This .58 Center Fire (actually chambered for .577 Snider) rifle was converted from a Bridesburg rifle-musket into a breechloader in 1869-70, after it saw service during the First Fenian Raid of 1866. An 1863 dated M1863 Bridesburg, this rifle not only has the telltale hallmark of a Fenian rifle (an “IN” faintly stamped in its stock, opposite the lock, and signifying part of the second batch of Bridesburgs received from Jenks & Co in 1866), but its fore stock has been cut off, just forward of the lower barrel band. As is the case with many of the Fenian Needham conversions, this rifle is missing its firing pin and spring, as well as its rear sight. The breechblock is a replacement from another Needham. After confiscation by federal authorities, many Needhams were “demilitarized” in this fashion. The number on its hammer wedge and inside the hammer is “236”, and there is “SP 43” stamped on the side of the receiver. This rifle is described and photographed in depth on the popular website about Fenian Needham rifles, www.pioneerarmsworks.com, and was further featured in an article in the Journal of the Company of Military Historians in 2017. Until recently, all sources have stated the Fenians converted 5,020 rifle-muskets into Needham breechloaders, but according to the data assembled by Robert Morris on his website, it now appears that less than 2,000 were actually converted, and that 700 were lost in a fire in Lincoln NE. Consequently, only a few more than 1,000 of these guns survived into the 20th century. Its cut down stock is just one of the methods the Fenians used to disguise these guns during shipping, and this rifle is a good example of the only firearm ever developed specifically for the cause of Irish freedom. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal largely gunmetal gray with areas of cleaned oxidation throughout, receiver and lock somewhat darker, breechblock more of a straw color as taken from a different gun. Stock with handling marks throughout, some surface level chips and scrapes, but no serious cracks or chips. 1,000 - 2,000

3062 - (A) ZAR MARTINI-HENRY SINGLE SHOT CARBINE. Manufacturer: Commonwealth Model: Martini-Henry Carbine Serial No. BPD1241 Caliber/Bore: .450/577 Barrel Length: 21 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique This artillery carbine is not a former British Army weapon, but is, instead, a contract carbine made up for the South African Transvaal (Zuid Afrikaan Republiek) prior to the Second Anglo-Boer War. It is marked “ZAR” in bold block letters, with the number “401” under the ZAR, but struck out by a series of four “O”s, on the off side of its receiver. Another number “BPD 1241” can be found on the knocksform, the barrel, and on the off side of the receiver, and this may be a Bechuanaland Police Department number, applied after 1902. There are no makers’ markings on it. This carbine was featured in a 2016 American Rifleman article, “Guns of the Boer Commandos”, and it has been displayed at numerous exhibitions for gun collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region. Although this carbine has no direct provenance to McBride’s (Blake’s) Irish Transvaal Brigade (ITB), it is of the type of weapon first issued to the ITB in October, 1899. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Barrel has been rebrowned in the period, with legends softened, and mixed with gunmetal grey about the fore band. Action very good with distension about the ZAR and BPD proofs from application of stamp. Wood with scattered handling marks, a chip missing from forearm ahead of receiver, and stock with some heavy impressions on left side. Mechanically fine, bore is good with strong rifling and some light frosting. 800 - 1,500

3063 - (A) ENFIELD MARTINI-HENRY .303 BRITISH CARBINE. Manufacturer: Enfield Model: Martini-Henry Carbine Serial No. E267 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 21” FFL Status: Antique While there is no way of confirming that this Martini-Enfield .303 Artillery carbine was in the hands of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), it is exactly like several of the known examples that were smuggled into Ulster before WWI. It has no UVF markings, but it has the upgraded adjustable dial rear sight. The Irish Volunteers also acquired carbines of this type, and they were used in the 1916 Easter Rising. Its serial number is “E267”, and, like many of the Martinis smuggled into Ulster and Dublin, the carbine is devoid of any makers’ markings. It was “sanitized”, so if it were intercepted by the British government, it could not be traced. This carbine was acquired in a Virginia gun show about twenty years ago, and its provenance is unknown. However, it is complete, and it has been fired with .303 blanks in Living History presentations about the UVF and the Irish Volunteers, as well as being featured in exhibitions for gun collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection.

CONDITION: Barrel with approximately half of the original bluing retained, with areas of gunmetal grey, primarily around front and rear sights; proofs at barrel shank have distension from application of stamp. Receiver has been reblued, probably when the rifle was sanitized. Stocks very good with one divot on forearm and scattered impressions and handling marks, and some minor chips missing around receiver and at fore band.

Mechanically fine, bore with well defined rifling and even frosting throughout. 800 - 1,500 278

3064 - (A) RIC MARTINI HENRY SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Manufacturer: Commonwealth Model: Martini Henry Serial No. 8601 Caliber/Bore: .450/577 Barrel Length: 33 - 1/4” FFL Status: Antique This .450/.577 Martini-Henry is marked “Mk II” on its butt stock, but has no other markings on its receiver. Although it started life as a rifle, it was later bored out and issued to the Royal Irish Constabulary for use as a prison or riot gun, using a special buckshot brass cartridge. The brass disc in its butt stock reads “R.I.C. 8601” but there are no further RIC markings on the firearm. Its butt stock has a BSA 1895 stamp on it, but there are no other markings on the receiver, save a “P 95” stamp. The converted rifle is complete, but with a simple open notch rear sight. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Good. With pitting along the stockline, and a period reapplied brown finish, probably done when converted to smoothbore. Its barrel pin appears to have been replaced. The cocking indicator is a period replacement and its retaining screw is damaged. The bore is dark, but with no pitting and, of course, with no evidence of rifling. There is a small chip out of the grip, where the stock meets the receiver and at butt. This firearm was found at the Maryland Arms Collector’s show in 1977, and it was featured in a 2004 Shooter’s Bible article on Irish Nationalist guns. It has been displayed at numerous exhibits for antique arms collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region. 800 - 1,200 3065 - M1874 FRENCH GRAS BAYONET. Blade Length: 20 - 1/2” Overall Length: 25 - 1/2” The Irish version of the Boy Scouts, the Fianna, were militarized to support the Nationalist movement and these young Scouts purchased surplus French bayonets as side arms. After the M1871 German Mauser rifles were landed at Howth and Kilcoole in 1914, there were several attempts made to convert these Gras bayonets to fit the Mauser rifles, as well as efforts to adapt the bayonet lugs on the rifles to accommodate the French bayonets. This French bayonet was not converted, and, in 2016, it was discovered in the cellar of a house undergoing renovation in Dublin. It was subsequently sold in a Dublin antique store. It is complete with its metal scabbard, and has some remnants of red paint on it. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Good, blade mostly bright with some scattered pockmarks and delaminaton to blade, with crisp spine inscription, dated 1875.

Scabbard and mounts very good, with some handling marks and surface mossing. 100 - 200 3066 - (A) WEBLEY RIC PATTERN DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. Manufacturer: P. Webley & Son Model: RIC Serial No. 35945 Caliber/Bore: .450 Webley Barrel Length: 4 - 1/2” FFL Status: Antique The Irish Constabulary was granted the title “Royal” by Queen Victoria, after the successful suppression of the Fenian ‘Rising’ in 1867. The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) adopted a short-barreled variation of the double-action Webley revolver, and Webley capitalized on this endorsement. While revolvers actually acquired and used by the RIC are marked as such on the front of the frame (this revolver is not), commercial revolvers simply have the “RIC” in the bullet stamping on the side of the frame. The revolver was a commercial success. This example was found at a Virginia militaria shop in the late 1970s and is complete, with the exception of its lanyard ring. This revolver was featured in a 2004 Shooters’ Bible article about Irish firearms and has been displayed in numerous exhibits about Irish Nationalist firearms in the Mid-Atlantic region. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Metal is essentially a smooth mix of soft brown patina mixed with areas of gunmetal grey, primarily to barrel, and flashes of bright high-polish blue in protected areas, such as recoil shields and barrel shank. Mechanically fine, cylinder stop worn and cylinder will spin freely at half cock, bore is good with well defined rifling and some mild oxidation in latter half of barrel. 800 - 1,200 3067 - (C) IRISH FREE STATE BSA SHTLE III BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: BSA Model: SHTLE III Serial No. Y66487 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 25 - 1/2” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This Mk III* SMLE was one of the rifles that had been acquired (either captured, bought, or stolen) by the Irish Republican Army from a British soldier during the Irish War of Independence, as it does not have the altered serial number of a rifle that was furnished to the fledgling Irish Free State in 1922-23 by the British government. It is marked “FF” (Fianna Fail- the insignia of the Free State Army) on its nocksform, and “186” (in an Irish, not British, font) on its brass disc inset into its butt stock. The rifle was made at Birmingham Small Arms in 1915 and has no further upgrades or alterations.

There is a very faint “2471” stamped on the comb of its stock, which may indicate it could have been one of the “Shamrock Enfields” that Interarms imported from Ireland in 1962. This rifle was featured in a 2004 article in Shooters’ Bible, as well as in exhibitions for several antique arms collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region in the past 20 years. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection. CONDITION: Excellent. Metal with the vast majority of the period reapplied bluing with some softness to legends and some stray pitting visible under bluing on receiver, thinning at sharp edges and with some handling marks; the Fianna Fail cartouche has burnishing in it, indicating that it was most likely arsenal refurbished and then marked for Fianna Fail. Stock with some handling marks and impressions throughout, some deeper on the right side, and a chip at heel. Mechanically fine, bore excellent with bright, shiny rifling. 800 - 1,500 279 www.MorphyAuctions.com | December 12, 2024

3068 - (C) AN IMPORTANT IRISH DWM MODEL 1914 NAVY LUGER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL, FROM THE BILL EDWARDS PURCHASE. Manufacturer: DWM Model: 1917 Navy Serial No. 4621 Caliber/Bore: 9mm Luger Barrel Length: 6” FFL Status: Curio & Relic This Luger is one of 23 Navy Lugers that the Irish Defense Forces disposed of at auction in 1990 and were acquired by a trio of Virginia gun collectors who successfully bid on the small lot. For full details of its history, see: https:// www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-irish-lugers-an-update/, as this article not only features this very pistol, but also details the use of Lugers by the IRA. This pistol was also featured (and fired) in a program on “The Guns of 1914” that aired on the NRA’s American Rifleman TV in 2014 for the Centennial of World War I. The pistol is marked “1917” over chamber.

The importer marked all of the Navy Lugers with “1916” on their slide rail (in an erroneous assumption that these guns came on the U-Boat with Sir Roger Casement in 1916), and this pistol is marked as such. This Luger was used for about ten years in various Living History programs that centered on the activities of the West Cork Flying Column during the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921), and it was a focus of attention among attendees at a number of historical events. This pistol was also displayed in exhibits at presentations about Irish Nationalist arms to several gun collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region. There are only a very few of these pistols left in Ireland, and nearly all of them are in museums. Those few guns in private hands have been demilitarized. The other surviving 23 Irish Navy Lugers were imported into the USA about thirty years ago, and only one has surfaced for public purchase, and it sold for north of $20,000. Classic configuration, front sight dated 1917, with typical German proofs throughout. Large diameter axle pin at rear sight remains in place. Magazine is numbered to a different gun; cross checking against Bill Edward’s original list confirms he sold it originally with a mismatched magazine. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection.

CONDITION: Excellent, retaining in excess of 90% of the original factory bluing, with distension visible around some proofs from application of stamp. Some scattered handling marks, some silvering, and some freckling at chamber. Stocks are very good with a few abrasions and a chip at top. Mechanically fine, bore very good with some minor oxidation in grooves. An extremely rare gun. 7,000 - 10,000

3069 - (A) AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND RARE IRISH “HOWTH” MAUSER MODEL 1871 BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Mauser Model: 1871 Serial No. 74D Caliber/Bore: 11mm Mauser Barrel Length: 33 - 5/8” FFL Status: Antique

SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

This 11mm M1871 Mauser is one of a group of “old Mausers” that the Irish Defense Forces sold to arms dealer Sam Cummings (Interarms) in 1959, along with shiploads of Irish SMLE rifles, handguns, machine guns, and artillery. The story of the Mausers’ sale and acquisition can be found in two articles in Man at Arms magazine: “The Irish Howth Mausers: Where Are They Now” (August 2019), and “The ‘Howth’ Mauser Saga: An Update” (December 2022). Both of these articles conclusively confirm the Irish provenance of many of the Model 1871 Mauser rifles that are now in American gun collections. The bayonet lug on his rifle was altered significantly (moved from the side of the upper barrel band to the underside of the upper band) by the Irish Volunteers to accommodate an altered French Gras rifle bayonet, and this alteration is one of the telltale indicators of an Irish Howth Mauser. This rifle was purchased directly from Potomac Arms in Alexandria, Virginia, (Interarms retail outlet) by a previous owner in the 1970s. This Wurttemburg-made rifle is marked “Oberndorf”. Its previous owner purchased it as a gift for his brother-in-law in Ohio, but when he shipped it, a postal employee inadvertently ran over the boxed rifle with a forklift, shattering its grip. The late Paul Smith, a noted firearms restorer and craftsman, put it back together in 2014, with a fiberglass reinforcing rod inside its grip. One has to look very carefully to see the repair. The bolt stop screw does not go all the way into the threaded hole on the bolt, although all of the other parts have matching numbers. This Mauser rifle was carried (but not fired) for about ten years in various Living History programs that centered on the activities of the “Fingal Volunteers” (5th Bn, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers) during the Battle of Ashbourne—the only tactical success on the part of the insurgents in the 1916 Easter Rising— and it was a focus of attention among the attendees at a number of these historical events. This rifle was displayed in exhibits at presentations about Irish Nationalist arms to several gun-collecting clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region, and it was featured in “Guns of the Easter Rising” in the September 2013 issue of the American Rifleman magazine and also in a 2004 article about Irish Nationalist arms in Shooter’s Bible. The Irish Volunteers only smuggled 1,500 of these Mausers into Howth and Kilcoole from Germany in 1914. Many of them were destroyed during and after the 1916 Easter Rising, and, as such, it is estimated that Interarms was only able to bring a few hundred of these guns into the United States from Ireland in the late 1950s and early 1970s, and less than thirty of them remain in Ireland, mostly in museums. Many of those rifles in private collections in Ireland have, by regulations, been rendered inoperable and they command exorbitant prices at auction. PROVENANCE: Kenneth Smith-Christmas collection.

CONDITION: Very good, metal is a smooth, soft brown patina throughout, possibly rebrowned before use by the Irish. Legends are softened but legible. Stock with handling marks and impressions throughout as befits a rebellion used gun and with aforementioned repair. Mechanically fine, bore is good with strong rifling and frosting throughout. 3,000 - 5,000

3070 - (C) AN IRISH SMLE III* .303 BRITISH BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: Enfield Model: SMLE Serial No. M27289 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 25 - 1/4” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured by Enfield in 1918 per markings at wrist, before ending up in Ireland, with an “FF” cartouche on top flat of receiver; the FF stands for Fianna Fail, and was the insignia of the Free State Army. Without an altered Irish serial number, this rifle was acquired by purchase, capture, or theft, and used during the Irish War of Independence. After the Irish War of Independence, this rifle made its way back to Britain, where it was renumbered into an M prefix range by BSA, as they reconditioned many rifles for use during World War II. Stock disc blank. Nosecap is numbers matching, bolt is mismatched. CONDITION: Good, showing honest military service. Significant portions of faded arsenal applied finish is retained, the balance fading to pleasant gray/brown patina with areas of freckling. Stocks have expected dings and nicks throughout, the forend cleaned and reoiled. A period repair present at the top of the wrist. Strong and bright bore with mild frosting. Fine mechanics. 800 - 1,500 3071 - (C) IRISH BSA SHTLE III* BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Manufacturer: BSA Model: SHTLE III* Serial No. G19024 Caliber/Bore: .303 British Barrel Length: 25” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured by BSA in 1917 per markings at wrist. Typical configuration with Samco import marks on right side of receiver, “Cal. .303 in” on top of receiver. Matching numbers observed on receiver, nosecap, and bolt. The G prefix was one of the prefixes used by the Irish Free State when they renumbered the rifles that they received from Britain to allay fears that guns would “disappear” and end up in Republican hands; the G prefix rifles were converted for use for launching grenades, but this rifle was subsequently rehabilitated into a more traditional configuration. “S” at heel of buttstock, “4” at pistol grip. CONDITION: Metal has been reblued over some handling marks and impressions, legends heavily softened, excepting import marks, which are crisp. Wood has been replaced with a more standard configuration, sanded, and left somewhat dry, with some scattered handling marks throughout, including some missing chips at right side of pistol grip and at toe, and a crack at heel. 1,000 - 1,500

Waters Model: Ward Alteration Caliber/Bore: .69 Smoothbore Barrel Length: 36” FFL Status: Antique After a favorable trial of his alteration design, Lieutenant James Noble Ward, was authorized to alter 1200 muskets to his “Magazine Hammer” hammer mounted Maynard tape primer design at $4.00 each for the state of New York.

Unfortunately for the Ward design, they were of irregular size and weight, the covers fell off nearly half of the issued muskets, and were generally unpopular, so in 1858, the state of New York stated that the arms were not satisfactory and Ward was ordered to stop producing them. This particular example is made from a Waters 1821 dated M1816 musket that was altered to percussion, and then altered to the Ward system.

The upper portion of the horn is inscribed: “J. ROOT / PRISONER OF WAR / CAMP / FORD / TYLER / TEXAS / CAPTURED / ON USS SIGNAL / AT SNAGGY POINT RED / RIVER La. MAY 5th 1864. The ship pictured on the horn is an accurate representation of the USS Signal, a US Navy “tin-clad” gunboat operating on the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers in the Vicksburg campaign and in 1864 part of the Red River Campaign.

Returning down river with dispatches from Alexandria, LA, on May 4, it joined another Union gunboat and a troop transport, and all three were attacked from shore by a Confederate cavalry brigade and artillery battery at a river bend known as Snaggy Point in a fight lasting into May 5.

The transport was forced to surrender; the other gunboat grounded and was set afire to avoid capture; the Signal, with engine disabled was forced to surrender. Union forces lost some 500 men killed, wounded and captured in the ambush and Confederates a mere ten wounded. The Signal’s crew were interned at Camp Ford, which held close to 5,000 Union POWs, most from Banks’s failed Red River Campaign. Six of the Signal’s crew received medals of honor for heroism in the fighting. Root was likely a crewman, though others may have been aboard as well. CONDITION: Very good.

3457 - CIVIL WAR MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER’S SCARCE KEARSARGE MEDAL. These three-piece medals were produced by John Harriott of Boston following upon 1902 Senate and Congressional bills to fund medals for officers and crew of the USS Kearsarge, which sank the destructive Confederate commerce raider CSS Alabama in their famous engagement off the coast of Cherbourg, June 19, 1864. Seventeen sailors were awarded the Medal of Honor for the action, including John F. Bickford, who received this medal as well, engraved on the top bar with his name and on the planchet with a battle scene showing the two ships amid engine and gun smoke. Born in Maine in 1843, Bickford enlisted in the Navy at Boston in January 1862, was assigned to the Kearsarge and rose to Captain of the Top and, after the battle to Acting Master’s Mate, leaving the Navy in June 1865. He passed away in 1927 in Gloucester, Massachusetts. His citation for the Medal of Honor reads: “Served on board the U.S.S. Kearsarge when she destroyed the Alabama off Cherbourg, France, 19 June 1864. Acting as the first loader of the pivot gun during this bitter engagement, Bickford exhibited marked coolness and good conduct and was highly recommended for his gallantry under fire by his divisional officer.” CONDITION: Very good. Slight bend to the anchor shank and some discoloration to the anchor and left of the medal. Sharp lettering and engraving. The ship on the right is apparently the Alabama and shown partially sinking. A very scarce medal awarded for participation in a famous engagement. 4,000 - 6,000

3460 - RELIC CONFEDERATE NASHVILLE PLOW WORKS SABER, EX. CHARLIE HARRIS. Blade Length: 35” Overall Length: 40” The saber is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Army of Tennessee Relics. According to the certificate, this saber was found stuck in the ground by a hiker in the woods near Florence, Alabama, during the 1930s. There is speculation that the sword was used as a grave marker for one of Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalrymen since it was stuck in the ground and appeared as such. The sword exhibits a heavy chocolate patina throughout that would be expected from a battlefield recovered piece. The “CSA” and “NASHVILLE PLOW WORKS” address remain sharp and clear on the guard. Wood grip is missing with brass backstrap wobbling in place, still attached to the tang. Tip of blade is darker for the first 7” where there is a change in patina due to being stuck in the ground. The certificate also states it was purchased directly from the family of the hiker and is ex. Charlie Harris Collection. CONDITION: Relic. 2,500 - 5,000 3461 - LOT OF 2: CIVIL WAR SOUTHERN BROADSIDES Lot consists of two Civil War southern broadsides with military and pro-slavery content.

Long, three-column letter denouncing Lincoln for the Emancipation Proclamation, urging he be deposed and a renewed southern offensive made to secure a more favorable, negotiated peace. CONDITION: Excellent. (B) Volunteers Wanted! Southern recruiting broadside just before the outbreak of war looking for 50 men to join Co. A 101st Virginia Militia in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, “to defend Virginia from the Abolitionists of the North…” with a January 1861 declaration to citizens of the county at bottom.

3462 - KENANSVILLE PATTERN CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER. Blade Length: 35” Overall Length: 40 - 1/2”

This particular pattern is thought by many scholars to be a product of Louis Froelich’s large and efficient sword manufacturing operation at the Confederate States Armory in Kenansville, North Carolina. This example features a pronounced blade with wide fuller that exhibits a gray patina. Brass hilt with 3-branch guard that is warped as the outer branch has been pushed in toward the blade. A standard copy of the 1840 “wristbreaker” heavy cavalry saber with large cone handle that is constructed of wood wrapped with leather and grooved to accommodate a single thick strand of copper wire. Wood grip exhibits various cracks and is missing a piece on obverse side with fragmented leather wrap. This saber features a distinctive Kenansville Pommel, and a similar example can be seen on page 45 of Confederate Edged Weapons by William Albaugh III. Guard exhibits the Roman numerals “XLVI” on wide quillon. Saber is complete with its scabbard that features brass mounts and throat, the latter of which is also marked with the Roman numerals “XLVI”.

A very nice example of a Confederate belt plate. This plate is known as the “Spun Hooks” variety of the solid cast belt plates and is referred to as such due to its construction of having been turned on a lathe after casting when the slag and rough edges at the base of the hook were machined. These belt plates are associated with the Western Theatre Armies, which served primarily in Tennessee and Georgia. Original blackened background is present surrounding the raised “CS” letters with line border and rounded edges. Circular pattern of lathe or mold marks around the base of the completely intact belt hooks are present on the reverse. Measures approximately 2 - 3/4” x 1 - 3/4”. A nice patina has set in but does not detract from the preservation of this plate. CONDITION: Good. 2,000 - 4,000

3466 - A HISTORIC AMES MILITIA OFFICER’S SWORD PRESENTED TO JOHN A. SUTTER, EARLY CALIFORNIA PIONEER AND MAJOR GENERAL OF THE SUTTER RIFLES. Blade Length: 31” Overall Length: 37” John Augustus Sutter is perhaps one of the most noteworthy American pioneers of the state of California and the Gold Rush era. Sutter was a Swiss adventurer and businessman who arrived in California in 1839, where he soon became the most important landowner in the area. By 1848 he employed several thousand people in his various business ventures and quickly rose to prominence, as he was one of the most discernable figures in California during the Gold Rush era. After gold was discovered at his sawmill in Coloma, his workforce rushed to the gold fields and his business empire collapsed as gold seekers from all over the world attempted to capitalize on the abundances of his land.

Unfortunately, Sutter lost most of his property in lawsuits and only retained a ranch near Marysville.

Despite his setbacks, he was given the rank of Major-General in the California Militia and the unit was named the “Sutter Rifles” in his honor. This Ames model 1840 knight head militia officer’s sword was presented to John Sutter as a token of esteem during his time as their leader. The scabbard is engraved between the mounts “Presented to Major General John A. Sutter / by Captn / A. Andrews / Sacramento City 1853.” An article in the “Sacramento Daily Union” reported on the ceremony and recorded some significant remarks: “In consideration of your early services to the State of California, I have deemed it not inappropriate to prepare this sword as a present to you. A tribute so trifling in itself can be regarded only as an expression of the esteem which, in common with my fellow citizens. I entertain of your personal kindness and self-sacrifice for the good of the State. You are honored and esteemed by not only those who have known you, but whatever your reputation has extended; and I would have you accept the sword in proof of the fact that virtue in the distinguished citizen is not always unappreciated and that private worth can have no better meed than in the affections of grateful people.” These words were recorded in correspondence between Captain Abraham Andrews and John Sutter. Captain, later Colonel, Abraham Andrews presented Sutter with this sword.

He was born in London in 1826, and his family emigrated to New Orleans in 1838. Andrews was very skilled with his hands and was apprenticed to a jeweler. At the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, he enlisted in the 2nd Ohio Volunteers as a lieutenant and was later promoted to Captain.

Mustered out in 1848, he went west to California where he founded the jewelry business “Hiller and Andrews” in Sacramento. Promoted to colonel in the California Militia, he served on Sutter’s staff as aide-de-camp. Later moving to San Francisco, Andrews had a long and successful career there and built the famous Diamond Palace jewelry store at 50 Kearney St. It is likely that the presentation on the sword was engraved by Andrews’ firm of Hiller and Andrews, and he may have executed the engraving himself. The sword is beautiful and features a double-edged blade embellished by foliate scrolls, trophies, a Federal eagle, the words “E Pluribus Unum”, and other patriotic motifs. Ricasso is etched with Ames maker mark and address. Prominent double bulbed cross quillon with thick double chain knuckle bow that leads to a knight head pommel. The hilt features attractive mother-of-pearl grip scales, which were much favored by militia officers and California knife makers. The sword is of course housed in its scabbard that is also marked by Ames on the reverse side. Sword and scabbard are both in excellent condition, with most of the gilt finish intact. The scabbard and hilt exhibit scattered scratches and handling marks. There is 1 small crack in each of the grip scales at the backstrap toward the pommel, as well as a chip on the obverse scale under the guard. The blade remains bright with brilliant etching and beautiful frosted background. There is slight oxidation toward the ricasso. This sword is perhaps one of the most fascinating early California relics and received tremendous interest when sold for $172,000 in 2008 while offered with the same estimate. The sword is accompanied by its previous auction descriptions along with a copy of the newspaper article that documented the presentation of this sword. CONDITION: Very good. 30,000 - 50,000

The rifle itself is a New Model 1859 which is stamped at barrel breech along with Sharps Hartford legend forward of the Lawrence patent stamp ladder rear sight.

3474 - (A) IMPORTANT 54TH MASSACHUSETTS GUBERNATORIAL PRESENTATION WHITNEYVILLE MODEL 1861 CONTRACT MUSKET USED AT FORT WAGNER. Manufacturer: Whitney Model: 1861 Caliber/Bore: .58 Rifled Barrel Length: 40” FFL Status: Antique Soon after signing the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln called for regiments of free Black troops to be raised. Among the first was the storied 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, armed and backed by Governor John Andrew. Under the command of Robert Gould Shaw, the 54th Mass headed south from Boston in May 1863, where they were active in South Carolina and Georgia. On July 18th, the 54th led the assault on Fort Wagner, which guarded Charleston Harbor. The troops fought gallantly to no avail, and suffered significant casualties for the cause. Their bravery proved a symbolic victory, solidifying public support and, perhaps more importantly, the support of General Grant in favor of the combat use of the Colored Troops. Approximately 180,000 African-American soldiers would serve through the end of the War. More recently the 54th’s heroic actions were memorialized in the blockbuster 1989 film “Glory”. This historically important musket is affixed with a large silver presentation plate on the right side of the stock engraved in script “August 27, 1865. / This musket Carried into Fort Wagner / and borne throughout all the Campaigns of the 54th / to Massachusetts on behalf of the reg’t to / Governor Andrew / by Bt. Br. Gen. Edw. N. Hallowell. / Colonel”. Hallowell was first appointed Lieutenant in the 54th, and was wounded at Fort Wagner. After Colonel Shaw was mortally wounded at the battle, Hallowell took command of the 54th and led them through the remainder of the War, receiving the honorary rank of Brevet Brigadier General, and mustering out August 20th, 1865. He presented this battle-worn musket just a week later to Governor Andrew, who had tirelessly fought to form and support the regiment. An included copy of a September 2, 1865 newspaper clipping describes a review of the 54th marching through Boston before Governor Andrew, Hallowell ending the ceremony with a speech to his troops and bystanders. Although the musket is not mentioned it is very possible it was presented to Andrew during this event. Musket is of M1861 form, currently sporting an “N.J” surcharged barrel with bayonet lug front sight and 3-position rear. Percussion lock is dated vertically at the tail “1863” with federal eagle and “U.S. / Whitney-Ville” markings ahead of the cock, likely an overrun Plymouth Rifle lock. Standard American walnut stock retained by 3 barrel bands and fitted with a plain musket-style buttplate.

Butt plate was painted white long ago, now flaking to patina. Ramrod is a relic replacement. CONDITION: Good. Armory bright components were cleaned and have now developed a light brown patina in some areas. Some unusual file marks present around bolster with a tang repair. Forward lock screw also appears to be a replacement. Stock has a nice mellow aged appearance with scattered dings and nicks, as well as a repaired break at the lock. Presentation exhibits a very pleasant dark blue/gray patina with a few dings, remaining legible. Bore displays strong rifling with freckling throughout. Fine mechanics. A tremendously historic Civil War musket memorializing the honorable service of one of America’s first Black regiments. A rare opportunity for the advanced collector of Americana. 5,000 - 10,000 386

3492 - (A) RARE SPRINGFIELD OFFICERS MODEL 1875 TRAPDOOR RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield Model: Officers Model Caliber/Bore: .45-70 Barrel Length: 26” FFL Status: Antique

Available for private purchase only to officers, just 477 of the nicely finished sporting style Model 1875 rifles were produced by Springfield between 1875 and 1885. This example was likely produced around 1877 as production transitioned from first to second type rifles, showcasing both early 1873 style features and second style engraving. Rifle is fitted with a 26” barrel bearing standard proofs at the breech. Beech type front sight, the folding ring no longer present, and 1873 style rear sight. As is standard for these rifles, a folding Vernier aperture sight is also mounted to the wrist. Correctly unnumbered receiver with foliate scroll engraving.

Engraved high arch breech block marked “MODEL / 1873” over an eagle head, crossed arrows, and “US”.

The foliate scroll engraving continues onto the “U.S. / SPRINGFIELD” lockplate and hammer. Action has 2-click tumbler and single set trigger. Half length stock of nicer than standard figure features fore and aft checkering, now heavily worn, as well as an engraved white metal nose cap, lightly engraved 2-piece trigger guard, and engraved “US” marked butt plate without tool trap. Some traces of red paint retained in the protected areas of the stock, possibly indicating Native American capture and usage. A replacement hickory wiping rod is included and is retained to the barrel by a single ferrule. CONDITION: Good, showing heavy usage. Metal has faded to a worn gray patina throughout with scattered dings. Stock shows heavy wear and some cleaning, the wrist checkering faint and the forend checking largely gone. Engraving on the soft white metal nose cap is likewise worn and very faint. A repaired split present on the left flat. Heavily frosted bore with visible rifling.

Breech block lock is somewhat loose. Otherwise mechanically in order at the time of cataloging, including the set trigger. An honest, very scarce and desirable Indian Wars era rifle that has stories to tell. 4,000 - 8,000

3493 - (A) RARE SPRINGFIELD-SHARPS TYPE II MODEL 1870 TRIALS RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield / Sharps Model: 1870 Type II Serial No. 213 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 35” FFL Status: Antique For post Civil War trials Springfield Armory assembled 1,000 Sharps rifles chambered in .50-70, the first 700 utilizing left over percussion actions.

Numbered in their own serial number range, a group of 300 new made actions specifically designed for cartridges were also purchased without the integral pellet priming system of the percussion models. These were issued along with the other conversion rifles for Army field trial in 1871 and 1872, many seeing heavy use on the frontier. Rifle features a matching 3-groove rifled in-the-white barrel with bayonet lug front sight and folding ladder rear. Full length oiled walnut forend. Plain walnut stock is marked with a faint script “ESA” Erskine Allin inspector cartouche and fitted with a “US” marked butt plate. CONDITION: Fine. Barrel and bands remain largely bright. Receiver has a light, silvery patterned patina. Wood has darkened with age, some expected impressions throughout. Strong bore with older abrasions. Fine mechanics. A nice example of a very scarce US martial arm marking the transition from percussion to cartridge arms in martial service. 2,500 - 4,500 3494 - (A) SPRINGFIELD-SHARPS MODEL 1870 TYPE I TRIALS RIFLE. Manufacturer: Springfield / Sharps Model: 1870 Type I Serial No. C35395 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 35” FFL Status: Antique Approximately 700 of this type re-manufactured circa 1870-71. This is a type 1 using a converted percussion straight breech action chambered to 50-70 and restocked to a full length military rifle configuration. By most accounts, these rifles featured a case color receiver, lever, breech block, lever and catch with balance of metal in the white. This is an example where the barrel, bands and butt plate were finely blued and appear of the period and commensurate to the overall high condition on balance of gun. It is conjecture that this was made for presentation or sold off as surplus after loosing the trials to the new 45-70 1873 Trapdoor’s. Schuyler, Hartley and Graham purchased numerous guns from the government and may have been finely finished after procurement. In either case, finish is of the same period and the overall condition appears to be near new. Rifle features the two bands, iron ramrod, sling swivels, post front sight, folding ladder rear sight with nitre blue adjusting disc. Top of blue butt plate is stamped US. The oil finish walnut stock features the ESA (Erskine Allen) in oval on left side and P at base. The left side of receiver legends are faint but are there. Right side legends are crisp. CONDITION: Excellent. Overall, this gun appears to have seen almost no use. The stocks show only minor impressions. The ESA and P are sharp. The forearm is equally as nice. The case colors on right side of receiver are bold with more toning on left side.

The primer bar, screws, and firing pin retain majority of the bright peacock nitre blue. Screws are true. The barrel shows some toning at breech ring and muzzle along with some light handling marks but retains nearly all the fine rust blue. The barrel band retaining springs retain nearly all the nitre blue and the bands themselves show only minor storage wear. The butt plate shows wear at top of heel. The sling swivels show almost no wear. The bore is mirror bright. Stunning and scarce rifle. 2,500 - 4,000 392

Manufacturer: Sharps Model: 1863 Serial No. 82439 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Government Barrel Length: 22” FFL Status: Antique In 1867, the government placed an order with the Sharps Rifle company to convert existing percussion carbines into rifles capable of firing a self contained cartridge. Sharps completed a bit over 30,000 such conversions. As was their practice, they would use parts from different guns and models. These guns were inspected by David Clark and his DFC initials in a ribbon are stamped on the left side of the stock. This carbine features a round barrel, German silver blade front sight in original base, Lawrence stamped folding ladder rear sight, original 6-groove barrel, single barrel band, metal butt plate, saddle ring and bar, and walnut stocks. Right and left sides of receiver have the Sharps patent legends. The DFC ribbon is visible on stock. New Model 1863 legend on barrel. These guns were arsenal refinished after conversion.

Manufacturer: Springfield / Sharps Model: 1870 Type I Serial No. 54774 Caliber/Bore: .50-70 Barrel Length: 35” FFL Status: Antique Approximately 700 of this variation were assembled from Civil War Sharps carbine receivers with new made parts around 1870. These rifles were issued in 1871 and 1872 for Army field trials against the trapdoor and rolling block rifles, many seeing use on the frontier. Rifle features a matching 3-groove rifled barrel chambered for the standard .50-70 cartridge. Bayonet lug front sight and folding 900 yard graduated rear sight. Full length walnut forend retained by a pair of barrel bands. Plain walnut stock with an oval “ESA” Erskine Allin inspector cartouche and “US” marked butt plate. CONDITION: Very good overall. Barrel and bands display a silvery patina with some older oxidation spotting. Receiver has also largely faded to gray with some case color patterning, as well as a few flashes of color in protected areas. Stocks appear lightly cleaned and reoiled with some expected impressions throughout. Strong and bright bore with a few black powder abrasion spots.

Everything else is typical such as the blue barrel with RSL inspector stamp of Richard Lawrence. Top of barrel has the Sharps Hartford legend with standard three bands, Lawrence marked ladder rear sight, post bead front sight, nearly full length walnut forearm with metal tip, walnut stock with iron patch box and butt plate. Stock has the typical DFC ribbon on left side, the David Clark inspected guns done from Feb. 25, 1868 to Oct 6, 1869. The serial number is in the highest range being above 40000. The right side plate has the Lawrence and C. Sharps legend with patent legend on left. Also sports the standard swivels. CONDITION: Very good. The blue and case colors are now all a dark grey patina. Legends are crisp. Top of barrel has a couple of spots that are pitted. Stocks are solid with scattered impressions. The rifling is sharp but does have some minor abrasion. Action is crisp. Why did it not get the three groove liner? Early conversion made during development prior to standard shipments, possible. 2,000 - 3,000 3498 - JIM SORNBERGER GOLD QUARTZ FOLDER.

Manufacturer: Colt Model: 1911A1 Serial No. C221335 Caliber/Bore: .45 ACP Barrel Length: 5” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Colt resumed production of commercial government Model 1911A1s in October of 1946 at serial number C220001, as they had stopped production of the US contract guns in September of 1945. The first approximately 2000 commercial pistols made after the war ended were actually military pistols in various stages of manufacture at the end of the War, and were completed with commercial serial numbers in 1946 as commercial pistols using new and surplus parts. There are numerous variations found in the transitional range of C220001-C222500. This gun is at the end of the variation range. The top of slide has the military proof P and a non glare blue finish but unlike the “New for 1946 Non Glare Finish”, the entire frame is commercial blue. The brown plastic grips are Keyes with ribs. The trigger is a wartime short checkered type. The slide stop is serrated, and the safety is checkered. The arched mainspring housing is serrated with loop, military type, as is the narrow checkered hammer. The legend on right side of slide is standard commercial “COLT’S AUTOMATIC CALIBRE .45” with pony at face. The left side has the one line Colt address legend and no pony.

The barrel lugs have the Colt 45 & P stamp and may be polished and restamped military surplus. These 1946 variant guns are an interesting group. In addition, there is a shoulder holster made by TexTan, a company that had a government contract during the war. They took the standard GI pattern and made this commercial venture with no US, and instead, has decorative border tooling and is lined. Straps are intact. CONDITION: Fine. Retains at least 75-80% commercial blue finish. Gun shows holster wear with overall high edge wear, forward lower slide wear, some small areas of thinning, thinned straps and scattered handling marks. Bore is strong and lightly frosted. 1,000 - 1,500 414

Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 94 Serial No. 428170 Caliber/Bore: .30 WCF Barrel Length: 24” FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufactured in 1908.

This carbine has a hooded ramp front sight which did not become standard until after 1932.

4118 - THE LAST WAR-WHOOP LITHOGRAPH. Circa 1856 hand colored lithograph by Nathaniel Currier “The Last War-Whoop”, a companion to “The Pursuit”, shows the conclusion to a dramatic chase. The Native American warrior, who has now been shot and knocked from his horse, looks up at the frontiersman, still mounted though his leg has been pierced by an arrow. Both prints were unusual for Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, an English-born artist who never ventured west of Chicago. He often portrayed Native Americans at a distance, with little detail, due to never encountering them himself. In this work, Tait placed the Native American in the foreground and provided more detail than usual, including a painted face and decorated buckskin clothes.

The lithograph is matted and framed with some fading to the colors and areas of foxing. CONDITION: Good. 1,000 - 2,000

The story of this image can be immediately deciphered: A trapper, chased by 4 Native Americans, looks back at his pursuers while he rides madly through the boundless land.

4126 - SET OF 56 WWII ANTI AXIS CARICATURE PLAYING CARD PRINTS. Framed caricatures World War II figures and events in the form of a full deck of 52 cards. Funded by the US Government and produced for the American market, this portfolio was created by famed Mexican illustrator and commercial illustrator Antonio Arias Bernal (1913-1960), one of Mexico’s most important political cartoonists of the mid-20th century, his influences being traced to directly to Walt Disney and Mexican caricaturist Ernesto García Cabral. Bernal’s anti-Axis illustrations graced the covers the Mexican publications Manana and Hoy during World War II, along with appearing in American magazines Look and Collier’s. The illustration topics cover the breadth of World War II, ranging from Hitler’s Munich beer hall putsch to the atomic bomb. These rare sets were made specifically for the US. Personalities depicted include: Franklin D. Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Joseph Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, Haile Selassie, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, Bernard Montgomery, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito, Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Hermann Goering, Erwin Rommel, Hideki Tojo as well as American soldiers, Rosie the Riveter building tanks and Uncle Sam. Some events depicted or referenced include: signing of the Munich Agreement, Nazi invasion of Poland, Pearl Harbor, the liberation of France, the bombing of Hiroshima, and a scene showing Hitler being roasted by the Statue of Liberty’s torch. Stereotypical anti-Axis Japanese caricatures throughout.

Project was created in 1945 at the behest of the office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA), an American propaganda agency based in Washington, D.C. The goal of the deck of cards was to help persuade then neutral South American countries to declare their support for the Allied cause. By the time the CIAA was being shut down with the end of the war in sight, the project was largely finished. Bernal was then granted permission to complete the set using the leftover funds from his commission to print an undetermined number of the complete portfolios.

These sets were then distributed to selected libraries and colleges across the US. Prints have varying degrees of aging, wear, corner tip chips, and scattered staining. CONDITION: good. 1,000 - 2,000

4138 - IDENTIFIED MEXICAN WAR OFFICER’S EPAULETS AND PHOTO, 9TH US INFANTRY Group consists of a pair of embroidered silver bullion 2nd lieutenant of infantry epaulets in their japanned tin case, a cased photograph of the officer in uniform behind which is an unmatted image of a woman, presumably his wife, along with calling card for “Mr. & Mrs. G.F. Gardiner” and a brown ink card reading “Epaulets worn in the Mexican War. S.E. Gardiner.”

The epaulets have silver eagle infantry-I buttons and are marked “J. Earle Junr. & Co. / Boston,” in business by that name from 1840.

Gustavus Ferdinand Gardiner was from Providence, Rhode Island, born 1809, married in 1842, and had one son, S. E. Gardiner (1844-1919,) signer of the note. Both photos are 9th plate ambrotypes: his clearly a period copy of a wartime daguerreotype, showing him in a single-breasted line officer’s frock coat. Early in 1847 he was elected 2nd lieutenant in the (First) Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers, possibly Co. K. The regiment joined the main army after the fall of Mexico City, when Gardiner transferred to the 9th U.S. Infantry, also recruited in New England with a Rhode Island contingent, and on Dec. 20, 1847, was appointed 2nd Lt. in that regiment, which saw further action against guerrilla forces. He died of Typhoid Mar. 16, 1848, at San Angel, likely the small town southwest of Mexico City also known as San Anjel, now a Mexico City neighborhood. These are telling family mementos of an officer who did not return. CONDITION: Very good. Just slight tarnish to the epaulets. Image of Gardiner is good in good leatherette case. The ambrotype of the woman is poor, with flaking and old tape. 800 - 1,200

4430 - COMMEMORATIVE PERIOD BRASS CANNON FOR THE ROYAL GEORGE. Inscribed “Relic of the Royal George Sunk 1782, Raised 1840”. The HMS Royal George was a ship of the line built in 1756, and served during the Seven Years War, was Hawke’s flagship at Quiberon Bay, and was retired in 1763, but reactivated to serve during the Revolutionary War. In 1782 the ship was sunk during a mishap while attempting to roll the hull; more than 800 died. During that same year, salvage attempts began and a number of guns and other pieces were recovered; this cataloger is aware of several other books bound in timber from the ship with nearly identical inscriptions, and there is a 24 pounder at the Royal Armouries. Salvage continued until 1842, but in 1840 the structure of the wreck was destroyed with controlled explosions, largely settling the matter. Turned in six stages, with wedding rings at the girdles and a raised, turned muzzle. A number of small cannons are known, and the belief is that they were made from bronze salvaged from the ship.

4480 - FRAMED HENRY POORE” BEAR DOGS “ WINCHESTER ADVERTISEMENT PRINT. Was originally released as a print in 1907 and this image was used by Winchester for years in various advertising. This appears to be a later print. The back board has a pasted paper with printed story on back.

It appears as if this was printed by the apprentices at the Boardman Trade School for the Animal Welfare League for members of the Junior Humane Society. The print itself measures 28.5 x 26” not counting the vintage oak frame. The glass was replaced by plexi-glass. The first junior humane societies were established shortly after the founding of the Women’s Animal Center in 1869. This print appears to be from the 1940s, possibly earlier. Conjecture dictates that this illustration, due to the notations on back, was given to donors or printed for fund raising.

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.

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.

• SNEAKERS, JEWELRY, WATCHES, COIN AND CURRENCY ITEMS OR ANY INVOICES MORPHY’S DEEMS AT RISK OF CREDIT CARD FRAUD – We accept cash, wire transfer, check, certified checks and money orders only. No credit cards will be accepted for invoices containing these items.

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

• CHECK - There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks.

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

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

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

PACKING/SHIPPING

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

• BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the buyer at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

• ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE – Shipping, handling, insurance, and taxes will be added to all invoices that Morphy’s agrees to ship. We recommend you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Shipping will be based on actual costs provided by UPS, USPS, or other carriers based upon the contents’ size and weight. Packaging and insurance will vary in cost depending on the contents and value of the shipment. Oversize and breakable items are not standard shippable items and will require shipment by a 3rd party shipper.

MORPHY’s cannot combine standard item shipments with oversize and breakable item shipments. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S packs or transports the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility, and expense of the buyer. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee.

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

• INSURANCE - Shipping insurance is automatically added to invoices for shipment to the United States and Canada locations. Insurance may be waived by providing MORPHY’s a signed insurance waiver.

Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. Insurance purchased through MORPHY’s applies only to shipments to the United States and Canada. Buyers must purchase their own insurance for shipments to other countries.

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

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

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING OF BREAKABLE, DELICATE, FRAGILE ITEMS - MORPHY’S reserves the right to decline shipment of items based on its fragility. If an item is unable to be shipped in-house, the item will require shipment by a 3rd party or pick up arrangements to be made. MORPHY’s will not ship any items that are neon or contain neon. Other examples of fragile items include glass display cases of any size; coin-operated, arcade and vending items with fragile parts and/or glass; signs with parts or protrusions beyond the main body of the sign, oversized vases, high value lamps and glass of all sizes, high value artwork including but not limited to paintings, statuary, (continued...)

bidder

Terms & Conditions sculpture, figurines, dioramas, and other intricate items; and items subject to impact by moisture and known handling issues in the supply chain. Under no circumstances will MORPHY’S be responsible for shipping damage to picture frames of any kind.

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

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

Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. Please refer to MORPHY’S limited guarantee herein. A Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be issued by MORPHY’S before you ship anything back to our address. Item must be returned in the same condition. Any items arriving without a return authorization will not be given a refund.
