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

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

CONDITION OF ITEMS DMA makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. DMA will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in the property. Returns will not be accepted under any circumstances. All items will be available for preview one (1) month prior to the auction.

All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items.

AUTOMOBILES – These terms do NOT apply to our automobile auctions.

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

• Modern Firearms (post 1898) will be noted with a double asterisk (**) at the beginning of the title and Class 3 weapons will be noted with a triple asterisk (***) at the beginning of the title. These firearms require special processing.

• Checkout and pickup at our location: °° The same person to whom the bidder number is registered must be the person to pick up the firearm(s) at the conclusion of the sale – Federal Law disallows anyone else from accepting the transfer.

°° Modern firearms sales to non-licensed bidders who are picking up guns at our location will require the completion of a form 4473 background check. Handgun purchases also require an additional PICS form/background check for each handgun purchased. This process to fill out forms and obtain a response may take 5-10 minutes. Any applicable state fees associated with these checks will be added to the customer’s invoice. °° If you are “Denied” by FBI / PICS background check, you will not be able to take possession of the firearm and the firearm will be consigned to the next available firearm auction. If you do not pay for the item in full, bidder will be blocked from participating in future firearm auctions. °° If you are appealing a “Deny” decision, we will hold the gun only if you pay in full for the item. °° Licensed bidders, i.e. Federal Firearms Licensees or Curios & Relics License holders must present a current signed copy of their license. (C&R licensee purchases must conform to the BATF C&R requirements). °° Class 3 weapons processing depends on if the purchaser is a dealer or an individual ∙ Dealers: Need a copy of FFL and SOT license. Estimated time for processing and approval of the required Form 3 is two months. ∙ Individuals: Law requires a completed Form 4. DMA will assist in preparing and getting steps done, includes fingerprint, photo, and a fee of $200. Estimated time for processing and approval of Form 4 is 6-8 months.

• Shipping °° Non-Residents of Pennsylvania may not pickup modern handguns. Any firearms shipped are legally required to be shipped to an ATF licensed FFL dealer within your state of residence for transfer and pickup. You will be responsible for all shipping and transfer costs incurred. °° Modern Handguns are required to be shipped via Priority Overnight. °° Modern Long Guns are shipped via ground to the FFL dealer. °° Upon paying for the gun you can contact a licensed dealer to send their FFL to firearms@morphyauctions.com with the paid invoice number notated. °° DMA will not be responsible for exporting modern firearms or any ammunition. Buyer will need to locate a US Dealer that can export these items to their country.

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

Handguns will only be sold to those persons 21 years of age, or older.

Dealers are bound by these minimum age requirements.

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

• DMA reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any buyer GAMING DEVICES - These items may be held for up to 5 business days so the state agencies can verify the purchaser’s information. All auction participants are urged to check the legality of possession and/ or shipment of gaming devices to their state of residence. Any gaming device purchased at the auction shall be used for the purpose of display or social entertainment within the private home or residence of the buyer and such devices shall not, in any event or manner, be exposed to the public for the purpose of gambling.

FIREWORKS – DMA can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http://environmentalchemistry. com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1.html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via FedEx. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer.

Grading Scale: Near Mint Plus 97% - 100% Excellent 80% - 89% Good Below 70%

Near Mint 90% - 96% Very Good 70% - 79%

BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. DMA and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed.

• ABSENTEE BIDDING - DMA will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions.com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www.morphyauctions.com. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee and online bids placed through www. morphyauctions.com will be auto charged to the credit card entered 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the Morphy Auctions absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated.

• ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, and Proxibid may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. If a credit card has been provided to one of the online bidding platforms, DMA reserves the right to use and charge the credit card if the winning bidder has not paid via another method by the 7 day term in Payment Terms below. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold.

You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot.

Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from Morphy Auctions.

• TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. DMA cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 717-335-3435 to request a call from our representatives during the live auction.

BID INCREMENTS Bid increments listed are a general guideline. Actual increments are at the auctioneer’s discretion. If a lot does not receive a bid of 25% of the low estimate, the lot will be passed by the auctioneer. $0 - $500…................$25 $500 - $1,000….........$50 $1,000 - $2,000…......$100 $2,000 - $5,000…......$250 $5,000 - $10,000....…$500 $10,000 +…............... Auctioneer’s discretion RESERVES The majority of our items are unreserved, but occasionally items may carry a moderate reserve. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below our low estimate. In the case of a reserved item, the seller has authorized the auctioneer to bid on their behalf until the reserve price is reached.

BUYER’S PREMIUM A 22% buyer’s premium will be added to all successful bids and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase cost. If payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer is made within 7 days of the sale a 2% discount may be taken on the Hammer price by the buyer.

DISCOUNT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF INVOICE IS PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS from the sale date. Split payments are subject to a 22% buyer’s premium if a credit card is used as any form of total payment.

SALES TAX Lots delivered to you, or your representative are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with DMA. Bidder agrees to pay DMA the actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired, inaccurate, or inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at and verified by DMA five days prior to Auction, or tax must be paid; only if such form or certificate is received by DMA within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be made. Lots from different auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.

PAYMENT All merchandise must be paid in full within seven (7) days of the date of the sale. If payment by cash, check, money order or wire transfer is made within 7 days of the sale, a 2% discount on the Hammer price may be taken by the buyer. DISCOUNT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF INVOICE IS PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS from the sale date. Split payments are subject to a 22% buyer’s premium if a credit card is used as any form of total payment. Purchases totaling $100,000 or more must be paid within three (3) days of the date of the sale.

We will accept a personal or company check >$2,000 and/or 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 $30.00 charge added to all wire transfers less than $2,000.00. 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, DMA 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 and handlings & 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 purchaser at his/her own risk after the close of the sale. If any employee or agent of DMA shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the purchaser. DMA 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 – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on items will be made available as an added courtesy and cost. Again, if any employee or agent of DMA shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the purchaser. DMA shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. All applicable charges will be applied. Shipping will be based on actual costs via FedEx, FedEx Freight, or USPS (best way). Handling and insurance will vary in cost depending on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Items will ship seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received.

• INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – DMA has the capability to ship to international bidders. By law, DMA 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. All international bidders are responsible for knowing their country’s laws on importing items and for paying all customs and duties on the items.

• 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of Large Items – Bidders MUST arrange and pay for 3rd party shipping when packages are 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.

• STORAGE FEE – DMA will charge a storage fee of $50/week for any items awaiting pickup for more than 30 days.

• MORPHY AUCTIONS, LAS VEGAS LOCATION SPECIAL COURTESY – Items purchased at our Las Vegas location may qualify for free shipment on our freight truck to Denver, PA. To be considered for shipping, all item invoices must be paid in full by day 7 after the auction, or they will not be shipped on the truck and shipping charges will then apply. Items will leave Las Vegas approximately 14 days after the auction date. Upon arrival in Denver, PA the buyer must pick items up within 14 days, or a $50/week storage fee will apply. Buyers will be contacted by phone or email when items arrive in Denver, PA. It is the buyer’s responsibility to pick the items up here. For packages to qualify for courtesy shipping, at least one piece or all pieces together in a package, must have a dimensional size of more than 130sq inches. 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.

• FIREWORKS – DMA can only ship Class 1 Division 1.4 and 1.6 Explosives (as described in the following website: http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/hazmat/placards/class1.html) per the 49CFR 173.50 and can only ship these via FedEx. All items not shippable must be picked up by the buyer.

POST SALE RETURN POLICY • DMA hires knowledgeable experts to provide catalog descriptions on the merchandise we sell. Every effort is made to ensure those descriptions are accurate and that they fully disclose any exceptions to condition. Any buyer who has made their payment within the due date of 7 days who wishes to report a problem must notify DMA within three (3) days of receipt of their purchased item. Buyers who have not made their payment within the due date of 7 days may not return any items under any circumstances after 35 days of the auction. No lots purchased by floor bidders (including those bidders acting as agents for others) may be returned. A Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be issued by DMA before you ship anything back to our address. Any items arriving without a return authorization will not be given a refund. The item in question must be shipped with the RA# on the outside and inside of the package, with full insurance, so it arrives at DMA within one week of the aforementioned authorization.

42 - **ENGRAVED SET PREWAR COLT SEMI-AUTO PISTOLS(4).

This is an exquisite set of four pre-war Colt semi-automatic pistols. Each features full coverage engraving by master artist Dale Woody. This set includes a Colt Model 1908 .25 pocket pistol, a Colt Model 1903 .32 caliber pocket pistol, a Colt Model 1908 .380 pocket pistol, and a Colt Model 1903 pocket hammer model in .38 Colt automatic. All four pistols feature nearly full coverage and identical engraving. Each is nickel plated and all sport two piece ivory grips with Colt silver medallions. All of the factory legends are as sharp as they came from the factory, as are the edges.

All remain in mint unfired condition since the work was performed. Set is housed in a custom French fitted case that holds all four pistols. In addition, there is a set of pre-war style reproduction cardboard boxes. The task of locating four pistols for this project, that would meet the requirements as to condition, to use as a basis for this project would be a daunting task in itself. Each was then hand chisel-engraved, plated, and fitted with custom ivory grips. It was a project of monumental proportions and the result is probably the most impressive cased set of Colt automatics ever produced by any engraver. The first gun is the Colt Model 1908 caliber .25 ACP semi-automatic with 227864 serial number. Manufactured in 1919 and has a 2” barrel.

45 - FRENCH CHARLEVILLE FLINTLOCK MUSKET. .69 bore, barrel length 44”. During the American War of Independence, the French government supplied large quantities of muskets to the Continental army. Several arsenals in France produced muskets but the Charleville Model 1763 was the most common and soon all French muskets were referred to as “Charlevilles.” In March 1777, some 25,000 Charleville muskets were received from France. George Washington implemented a resolution by the Continental Congress to stamp firearms as United States property to reduce theft. While this musket is not U.S. property stamped, it is the same type of musket that was used during the Revolutionary War period. This musket has seen much use and has had some period alterations and repairs but is all there. The barrel and the three retaining bands are a dark chocolate brown patina. Both the barrel bands, sling swivel and the trigger guard sling swivel are present. The brass trigger guard is a dark mustard color but the forward tang has been shortened, altered and has a period repair.

The brass trigger guard is a period replacement that is short in both the front and rear tang. The stock retains its original finish but has several cracks most noticeably two at the base forward of the trigger guard and a wrist crack at back of tang running 4” in a “V” pattern. The right side of stock has been reconfigured and the buttplate is ill fitting. This is a historical and handsome rifle as is but with some attention to the stock and trigger guard.

48 - SIGNED PENN. FLINTLOCK LONG RIFLE 42” barrel, .50bore Top barrel flat is stamped S with a star and the outline of the second letter is visible. Finding an exact match for this stylized signature of two letters from the top of the barrel is difficult to match but our consigner attributed this rifle to Samuel Morrison who built rifles from 1826-1843 in Milton, Union County Penn. An example of Samuel Morrison’s work can be found on plate 292 in the book Kentucky Rifle Patch Boxes Vol. 2 by Chandler and Whisker. This plate clearly shows the Samuel Morrison stock design which is nearly identical as well as the butt plate, trigger guard and patchbox release. Milton is a borough of Northumberland County. This rifle has many of the characteristics of the Dauphin school which borders Northumberland county especially in regards to the stock profile. This is a classic full stock Penn. rifle. The barrel is an octagon to round with a step collar and has a set rear sight with dove tail brass front sight. There are three brass rod retaining thimbles, the forestock displays three half circle decorative appliques, sports a single trigger and a plain brass trigger guard with a flure-de-lis forend palm plate. The lock is simply stamped warranted, the stock retains beautiful hand rubbed striped finish and has a decorative heel plate with a brass butt plate and a decorative brass toe plate and wonderfully exquisite patchbox with an external release.

70 - EARLY PENNSYLVANIAN FLINTLOCK LONG RIFLE NSV 45” barrel, .36bore-Flintlock This early Flintlock Pennsylvanian long rifle does not bare a signature of any maker on the barrel. The lock is stamped F. Flemming and has what is referred to as a horse head patch box which according to Merrill Lindsay in his book the Kentucky rifle states that the horse head patch box is usually attributed to Littlestown. We found several variations of the horse patch box in Kentucky Rifle patch boxes Vol. 2. We found an example by Fordney (168), Koones(233), Shriver(348), none of which were like this particular horse patch box. The consigner, in his research attributed this rifle to the north Carolina region which was based on the elliptical barrel retaining key plates on forend but the elliptical plates on this rifle are purely decorative and not made for barrel key. In addition the patch box is not signed as is typical of the North Carolina rifles, and this rifle has a more new England look about it. That said the rifle features a full length stock with the striped patterned walnut stock. Has horse head brass patch box on right side that does not close tightly. It has an iron wrap around butt plate and has a full octagon barrel, 3 brass rod retaining thimbles, barrel wedges do not have plates. Has a brass forend tip, fixed rear sight with a low dove tail brass front, double triggers with not set screw, has some simple brass decoration on the left side and a previous owner carved the initials R D S, The decorations on the left side are primitive in execution, the trigger guard and barrel are a deep dark chocolate brown with an overall rough surface with some substantial pitting at ignition point. The stock is very good and is dark and checked on the left side as exposed to heat or flame. There is a brass toe plate with some light engraving, with some darkening on top of the wrist. Very early mid 18th century long rifle. 1,500.00 - 3,000.00

75 - ULRICH ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 S.R.C. Serial No. 132113. .44 rimfire with a 20” barrel. Manufactured in 1877. John Ulrich was the most prolific Winchester engraver during the latter part of the 19th century until his death in 1924. He began his trade under the tutelage of Conrad Ulrich at the Colt factory and unlike many of the other Ulrichs, he became a full time Winchester employee, performing work specifically for that company as their master engraver. John Ulrich signed and engraved Winchesters are amongst the most desirable of their genre and this carbine is no exception. This carbine is stamped “J. Ulrich” in extremely small print on the bottom of the tang back of the serial number which was his most common means of identifying his work. The left side of the frame has beautiful scroll engraving with the punch-dot background and features the Mexican eagle with a snake in its mouth. A nearly identically engraved carbine can be found on page 73 in the book of Winchester engraving on carbine No. 36130. Another nearly identical eagle can be found in the same book on page 79. The right side of the frame has the same scroll and punch-dot pattern with an artistic shield in an oval. While researching this firearm in the book of Winchester engraving, it is noted that John used this shield-type design but there were numerous variations. You will find light scroll work on top of the receiver, in front of the firing pin and on both sides of the ejection port with some light decorative border engraving along edges. There is similar light engraving at the back of the tang, back of the lifter, and on the lifter with light border decoration along back and front of frame. There is some light engraving on the brass buttplate on the top tang. When the stock is removed, there is an assembly number on left tang (24). The number ‘900’ is stamped inside the brass trapdoor buttplate. There are no numbers stamped inside the stock. All other features of this carbine are standard for this model, to include 20” barrel, full magazine tube, two barrel bands, front barrel bands has integral sight, folding ladder Winchester 1873 carbine rear sight, case colored hammer and lever, walnut stocks with a trapdoor in plate, and an original three piece steel cleaning rod in butt. All brass surfaces are a soft patina. Most of the screws heads are fine with a couple of minor burrs. The barrel is stamped “Winchester’sRepeating-Arms New Haven CT. Kings Improvement Patented March 29. 1866. October 16. 1860”. Has the saddle ring and stud. The barrel is a smooth pleasing mix of blue turning patina with some light age freckling. The hammer and lever colors have grayed out. The forend is in excellent condition, retaining most of the original finish, but there is a groove line forward of the front barrel band where band was removed and a light hairline grain separation on right side from mid-point forward 1/4” from barrel. Wood to metal fit at frame is proud. Walnut stock is very good with a minor chip on right side. A couple of minor abrasions but no cracks. Stock is a bit shy at tang. The finish was freshened up at one time. Base of stock at tang has some indiscernible numbers that were stamped into the stock long ago. Bore exhibits strong rifling and is still fairly shiny with usual abrasions.

Action is perfect. The loading gate retains approximately 95% of wiped-on finish. Any factory engraved Model 1866 Winchester is a prize, and those engraved and signed by master Winchester engraver John Ulrich are the most highly treasured of all. An old handwritten George Madis letter states that this carbine was once in the collection of the former president of the Winchester Collectors Association. It is a beautiful, documented, factory engraved Model 1866 carbine. 35,000.00 - 55,000.00

101 - EXPERIMENTAL PATTERN MODEL 1794 CONTRACT PISTOL. NSV .72 bore-flintlock., 13 3/4 “ barrel, bright finish, walnut stock. On 4 March 1794 a letter was sent from Henry Knox, Revolutionary War General and then Secretary of War to Thomas Fitzsimons, the Congressional Representative from Philadelphia. The letter called for the creation of a minimum of two new arsenal’s to supplement The Springfield Armory which was over taxed with work. The letter requested a new supply of muskets as well as 1,000 large horseman’s pistols. After authorization was granted, Knox assigned Major Samuel Hodgdon, Superintendent of Military Stores and Supervisor of the New London Arsenal in Virginia, to the task of developing the patterns for the muskets and pistol. For designing the pistol, Major Hodgdon recruited Joseph Perkins, New London’s master armourer, and Joseph Golcher, a former associate of Perkins. This is an example of the horsemen’s pistol produced by that team, bearing the Major’s “H” inspection mark, indicating that this was the final product to serve as the pattern for the remainder of the contract. This massive pistol measures nearly 18-1/2” overall and has a 13-3/4” .72 caliber, smooth bore, pin-fastened barrel with two distinct bands. The lock is flat with beveled edges and is stepped behind the hammer. The lock has a flat goose-neck cock with beveled edges and an integral, fenced, iron pan. The lock plate, hammer and frizzen are engraved with simple line borders and the hammer is engraved with simple floral designs. “PHILADELPHIA” is stamped on the lock plate below the pan. The full stock has a grip with sharp downward turn. The stock is fitted with brass ramrod thimbles, side plate, trigger guard and buttplate. An oval brass thumb piece is inlaid on the top of the grip. The trigger guard finial, the buttplate and the side plate are engraved with simple, floral pattern designs. The pistol has a wooden ramrod with flared tip. There are no visible maker’s or military inspection marks on the exterior of the lock or barrel. The upper left stock flat is stamped with a block “H”. The barrel has a gray patina with spotted aging. The lock is a gray-brown patina; there is some scattered pitting at lock and pan that blends with the gun metal patina. The stock is excellent with a few minor repairs. This is a rare unique example of a 1794 Contract Horseman’s pistol. 15,000.00 - 20,000.00

188 - HIGH COND. REMINGTON NO. 1 LG CAL. SPORTING RIFLE. Serial No. 8623. Serial No. 8623. Caliber is .40-70. Barrel length is 30 inches. The number one rolling block sporting rifle was manufactured from 1868 to 1888. Approximately 12,000 of the sporting rifle no. 1 were manufactured. This was the largest of the rolling block frame sizes and was utilized for the largest caliber hunting rifles. These rifles are almost never found in the large calibers with any condition. Popular with buffalo hunters in the 1870’s, this example is chambered for the popular .40-70 cartridge. Features include a 30” heavy octagon barrel, case colored receiver, and walnut stock. This rifle has survived in outstanding all original condition. Barrel retains approximately 85% of the original factory blue with razor sharp edges and strong barrel legend. Frame retains at least 75% of its original case colors, some brilliant. Hammer, block, and side toggle retain approximately 80 percent of the brilliant factory blue. Has a pewter tip and steel buttplate. Walnut stocks are excellent and proud to metal displaying a majority of the original finish with some minor abbrasions. Has a special order Remington globe front sight and an original long range tang rear sight. Excellent strong clean bore. These big caliber sporting rifles saw heavy use on the frontier and were direct competitors to the Sharps, Winchester, and Marlin single shots of the era. Given the low production numbers of the sporting rifles, those intended for hunting not target shooting, they are rarely found with any degree of original finish. This example, having survived in such high condition, is a true rarity and will seldom be found on today’s market in this condition. 3,500.00 - 5,500.00

191 - HEAVY BARREL SHARPS MODEL 1874 (BOZEMAN, MT 1878).

Serial No. 160733. .40 bore with a 30” barrel. Amongst the most desirable Sharps Model 1874 sporting rifles ever manufactured are the heavy barrel models, those in which the breach of barrel is larger than the frame, that were shipped to destinations out West. This is such a rifle. It was shipped to J.G. Dowe on July 22nd, 1878 from the Bridgeport factory to Bozeman in the Montana Territory. Dowe was acting as a bankruptcy receiver for Walter Cooper, another Bozeman gun dealer. A total of 60 octagon barrel sporting rifles and 50 business rifles were shipped in the same order, along with 35 carbines and 18 sets of reloading dies in 20 crates. This rifle is listed in order book No. 6 simply as a .40 caliber business rifle with no other information. The rifle weighs 14 lbs, is .40 caliber with the 2-5/8” case, double set triggers. Top of the barrel is stamped “Old Reliable Sharps Rifle Co. Bridgeport, C.”. Caliber is stamped “.40 calibre 2-5/8”. Has the standard folding leaf ladder sight, blade front sight. Left side of frame is stamped “Sharps Rifle Co. Pat. App.”. Gun remains in excellent all original condition. The barrel retains approximately 85% of the original blue finish with thinning at muzzle, razor sharp edges and perfect legends. Case colored frame has basically nickeled out. Forearm is excellent, with specially made dimensions to accomodate the extra large full octagon barrel with no cracks and most of its original finish. The stock is also in excellent condition with no cracks, almost all of the original finish, and perfect wood to metal fit. When, and if, one finds a surviving example of a heavy barrel Sharps buffalo rifle that was sent to the far Western areas, they usually have varying degrees of damage. The forearms are usually broken, given the heavy weight of the barrel, and the stocks are usually weathered as well. This rifle shows no such damage and remains in beautiful, fine, all original condition.

It is interesting to note that the left side of wrist has the metal plate, which would indicate that Sharps was still using up their supply of old stocks. The bore is strong and the action is perfect. Arguably one of the finest condition heavy barrel Western shipped Model 1874’s to survive.

Within this collection are some of the highest condition and scarcest air guns dating from the latter part of the 19th century.

The first gun of this collection has matching numbers; with full factory nickel plating; sporting leaf rear sight; walnut stock; and the nickel plated buttplate. This example is a Model 9. The frame has the rectangular loading port behind rear sight.

The Model 9 was manufactured from 1920 to 1941. The most distinguishing feature of this rare model is the knurled muzzle piece to support the shot tube. Has the removable high post front sight blade in slot. Rifle retains approximately 97% of the original factory nickel finish with some minor wear on top of barrel at breach and a couple of mars on left side of frame. Perfect legends, razor sharp edges, original nickel screws at stock. Buttplate is basically greyed out. Excellent original stocks with no cracks or chips, retaining generous amounts of original factory finish, starting to craze.

The factory tools, fixtures, and equipment of the American Tool Works went from buyer to buyer ending up with Markhan King in 1929. They had been acquired by Daisy in 1916 which would probably explain the Michigan address. Finished in a dull matte blue finish of which the majority is still present.

The Champion Model, or the Type 8, was introduced in 1899. 25-50 known examples exist in both variations and in both rifle and carbine, but the brass barreled carbine is considered the scarcest and it is doubtful whether a higher condition example has survived. The top of the barrel is stamped “Pat. Oct. 24, 93”. Has the original bead front sight. The rear sight would be screwed into the breech (sight is not present). Given the age and rarity of this gun we have not cocked the lever to test for firing capabilities. 500.00 - 900.00

The Presentation Model features blued metal, plain oil finished pistol grip and walnut stock with a brass presentation plaque on right side. This was rifle No. 40 and was made for the collection of Olympic Wholesale Company. This rifle is both an air gun and a firearm. It features an under-lever spring piston but the action is supplemented by the ignition of a propellant mass molded on the base of a special 29 grain bullet. Ignition is due to the high temperature developed by the spring piston on the moment of firing. This is referred to as a caseless cartridge. Daisy was forced to pull this gun from production after the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968 and the BATF ruled this weapon a firearm and Daisy was not licensed to produce firearms. The offered rifle is in as new condition inside and out. Comes in its original hard case with four boxes of VL boxed ammunition and a sealed accessory bag.

It is a high condition deluxe Model 1886 takedown rifle that is most likely unique in its special order features. Factory research lists as follows: Barrel: 20”; Caliber: .33; Stock: checkered stock, pistol grip, Magazine: five cartridge; Butt: shotgun butt rubber. Sights are not mentioned in the letter but is equipped with the base and white bead front, original Winchester two leaf folding rear sight with no wear from any other type of sight being applied. Has a strong as new barrel legend, takedown frame, magazine is not listed except as 5 shot and is a 2/3” magazine that begins 2-3/8” from muzzle. Has a rear tang sight, deluxe checkered walnut forend, and the deluxe checkered walnut stock that features Winchester grip cap and buttplate. Highly figured deluxe grain extra finish and one of the more interesting aspects of this rifle is the scaled down dimensions of the butt stock, which is 100% as performed at factory. Has a 13-1/4” LOP and the height at buttplate is 4-3/8”. The barrel and tube retain virtually all of their original factory blue with barely any sign that the rifle had ever been taken down as there is no wear on tube from such disassembly.

The frame has silvered out to a clean gun metal finish on base, bridge and takedown ring. The sides of the frame retain 30-40% of the brilliant high polish Winchester blued factory finish with the balance simply silvered out. The serration on both sides of frame are not scratches they are simply the usual effects of the polishing and bluing process, and you will find these on numerous Winchesters. The wood is in beautiful near mint condition retaining nearly all of the original finish, with no cracks or chips and sharp as new checkering. Mint bore and action. This big bore deluxe Model 86 was obviously a special order for a person of smaller stature who knew exactly what they wanted in a rifle.

391 - HIGH CONDITION REMINGTON MODEL 1858 ARMY REVOLVER. Serial No. 9094. Serial number is 9094, barrel length is 8” octagon, caliber is .44 percussion. Arguable the finest revolver manufactured for use during the Civil War. It had a distinct advantage over the Colt with regards to the much stronger solid top frame and the ease of which the cylinder could be changed out without taking the entire gun apart which was a monumental difference in the heat of the battle when the rapid replacement of loaded cylinders could mean the difference between life and death. This high condition example is standard in all respects. It has all the proper inspector stamps on metal and the two piece walnut grips are in near new condition and display a perfect cartouche on left panel. The gun functions as new and the lock up is tight as any modern gun. It retains a mint bore, and all of the original nipples are intact and perfect. The hammer retains virtually all of the brilliant case colors. The octagon barrel retains approximately 80% of the original factory high polish blue finish with the balance simply exhibiting age freckling/flaking. The frame retains several areas of original high polish blue while it too shows the typical flaking found on these revolvers. This cylinder is a pleasing mix of blue brown patina with flashes of brilliant blue especially on back of cylinder. The brass trigger guard has the wonderful mustard hue that exists only through age. The end of the cylinder shows no burn and you can still see the original factory blue in it’s chambers. It is highly unlikely that this gun saw much, if any, real use as the finish loss it is basically a result of aging and flaking during its century and a half of storage. The frame screw exhibit some light burring, a result of having been tightened with an improper screw driver. One would be extremely hard pressed to find a nicer example of this high quality and desirable big bore single action that saw major use in every campaign during the War Between the States.

Manufactured by the Hopkins & Allen Company, these were produced from 1876 to approximately 1883. Merwin Hulbert & company were not manufactures, they were dealers and promoters. Standard features include a 7” barrel, single action, nickel finish, six shot, .44 caliber, with the red mottled gutta percha saw handle grip, lanyard ring, and case colored hammer. The face of the cylinder shows no sign of any firing rings, nor does the inside of the cylinder. The gun retains fully 95% of the original factory nickel finish with usual minor freckling and high edge wear here and there. The grips are original and fit perfectly to the gun.

Lock up and timing are perfect, as is bore. Good suction. Cylinder has a drag line. These revolvers were engineering marvels at the time, allowing quick interchanging of barrels. The fit and finish is that of a Swiss watch.

They were widely used on the Western frontier in the 1870’s and this particular style of Merwin is considered the true classic single action of this type. The red and black mottled gutta percha grips are very similar in material to those manufactured by Smith & Wesson. They remain in excellent condition with sharp checkering, no chips and fit superbly. The barrel legends are sharp. There are no caliber marks on frame which is consist in the fact that it was the only caliber available on the early first models. The serial number can be found stamped on the barrel, cylinder and center post. The number of the butt is not a serial number but rather than an assembly number. Production of the early open top scoop flutes and the Merwin caliber pre date 1880.

This Colt model 1878 Canadian Militia was manufactured in 1885 with a nickel finish, double action, six shot, gutta percha grips. The factory letter indicates that this revolver was one of a shipment of 120 guns sent to Hartley and Graham of New York City on April 14, 1885 for delivery to the Canadian Militia and defense. According to the excellent book on Canadian military revolvers, the April 14 shipment was the fourth sent to the Canadian government, all of which were factory nickel except for 50 blue guns. The sum total of guns shipped between April 6 and April 25 was 690 revolvers. The hostilities, now referred to as the Reil Rebellion, came to a head in March 1885. Reil was defeated on May 12. Given the short time between the shipments and the end of this conflict, the majority of these revolvers did not see use in that campaign but were subsequently used in other Canadian conflicts. The left side of the frame is stamped 48. MD. The gun is in excellent working order but has seen use. The right side of the barrel retains approximately 85% original factory nickel while the top and left side retain approximately 20% finish.

According to the factory letter, this Model 1878 Colt was shipped in a 90 gun shipment to Hartley & Graham of New York City on April 16, 1885. This date and shipment coincide with a shipment of 90 factory nickel plated 7-1/2” Model 1878 double action revolvers in caliber 45 to the Canadian Department of Militia and Defense. The fifth such shipment to them during the Riel Rebellion. According to the book on Canadian Military Handguns by Clive Law, many of the guns ordered for Canada during this shipment were not marked with the MD stamp on left side of frame. This revolver is in excellent, all original condition. The frame retains at least 80% of the original nickel plating while the barrel retains most of this finish on the right side but only traces on the left.

Bob Ford supposedly shot Jesse James with a New Model No. 3 and Virgil Earp carried a Russian Model from the same family of revolvers. This revolver has had its barrel period shortened and the front sight set back. All metal surfaces are a smooth brown patina with traces of the original nickel finish. The original gutta percha grips have almost worn smooth. Cylinder indexes perfectly but the extractor is not working.

This is a Sheriff’s or Store Keepers Model with the 3-1/2” barrel and no provision for an ejector. It is standard in blue/ case colored finish with black Colt Gutta Percha grips. Most of the original finish has faded to a smooth gun metal gray. The grips are excellent albeit worn a bit on high spots and a bit shy at frame so were replaced at one time. Mechanically, this gun needs attention to the action as cylinder spins and does not index properly. Bore is clean. Has roll die barrel legend. With a little attention to action and grips, nice representative piece. 400.00 - 600.00 517 - COLT MODEL 1877 LIGHTNING REVOLVER. Serial No. 96596. Serial number is 16596, manufactured in 1893.

Perfect double action timing and lock up but hammer will not fall when trigger is pulled on single action.

The screws, hammer and trigger retain generous amounts of fire blue.

The bore is strong and clean. Unusual little gun sent to Colt Agency in San Francisco which might explain the current configuration.

581 - **NEAR NEW COLT 1911 U.S. NAVY SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. Serial No. 40682. .45 ACP with a 5” barrel. Offered is arguably one of the finest Colt Model 1911 U.S. Navy semi-automatic pistols to surface.

The gun appears to be in nearly unfired all original condition. There are a few of the usual minor storage marks but there is barely any perceivable muzzle wear. The front grip straps and trigger guard retains 99% of the brilliant high polish blue. Slide and frame, including the top, retains 98-99% brilliant blue. The trigger retains virtually all of the brilliant blue. Grip safety retains 98% brilliant blue. About the only perceptible thinness of the original finish is on the flat mainspring housing which has simply flaked to a light blue silver patina. We have completely disassembled this firearm and guarantee that every single part is correct for this Navy Model. Barrel has the proper perpendicular “PH” (sans serif) inspector marked with the “P” closest to the breach. Has the proper early type one round U-notch rear sight and type one front sight. All proper small checkered parts including a type one short wide-spur hammer. Sports near mint diamond checkered walnut grips. Has the original key hole lanyard loop magazine. Left side of frame has “United States Property” with the “W.G.P.” Inspector’s stamp. (Walter G. Pennfield 1911-1914). Left side of slide has the correct patent dates with the Colt pony at rear of slide without the circle. Right side of slide is stamped “Model of 1911 U.S. Navy”. Bore is mint. Action is perfect.

Does have a light drag line. This pistol was manufactured in 1913 and falls in the middle of the Navy serial range for that year. Comes with a Colt research letter confirming all of the above. All edges are as sharp as new. All legends are perfect. As every collector of Model 1911s is well aware, the Navy issue pistols are amongst the most desirable, and as to condition, it would be virtually impossible to find one in such near new condition. These were generally shipped in wooden crates and as such, were subject to minor storage abrasions when unpacked at the Brooklyn Naval Yard in 1913, this is one such pistol. There is not much more we can possibly say about this incredible offering other than, if you’ve been waiting for the best possible condition of a 1911 Navy or just have been looking to upgrade, this pistol is the one. Colt Factory letter confirms shipment to Brooklyn Naval Yard 1913. 8,000.00 - 12,000.00

The lock is unusual in that both sides have extended side plates and have dual percussion pans as if the action could have been used as the basis for a double rifle, or the hammer could have been applied on either side. The left pan and sideplate were not activated or utilized, so the pan has an engraved cap. The hammer is installed on the right side. The pan has the original nipple.

The unusual safety catch is referred to as the patent of 1830 and engages the hammer. The top and face of hammer feature full engraving coverage.

Top of the hammer is an engraved fish. The hammer stem is fully engraved and is diecut to the profile of a face and features the human eye, nose and mouth. The hammer retaining screw is engraved. Side plates have full coverage fine engraving. The front of the right side plate has the engraving of a mythical boar. Safety and screw are engraved, and in a small panel is “F.W. Moritz”. The top of the receiver is fully engraved including screws and has platinum outlines with “Stabrow” in gold. There is a square hole that would allow a stemmed lollipop style rear sight. The left side plate, the one without hammer, features the same engraving with the mythical boar at face, with an interior engraving of a doe and a stag with the same platinum border and the city of manufacture within a scroll “In Leipzig”. Adjustable double set triggers. All of the metal parts, aside from the barrel, are in a nickel-coin satin finish. This is a very detailed description but no amount of words could do justice to this incredible rifle, which rivals any custom gun makers product of that time or any other. 5,000.00 - 8,500.00

Combination percussion and rimfire with unique rolling block type action having the exposed percussion nipple on top of block and the inside mounted rimfire firing pin on its lower section. Handsome wide brass frame marked “M. V. KACER / PAT’D.” Made to accept a .32 rimfire cartridge or a paper cartridge for percussion use. 24” octagon barrel retains a pleasing mix of blue-brown patina with some freckling and high edge wear. Bore very good with strong visible rifling. Sharp frame legends. Deluxe walnut stock in very good condition. The toe has a repaired crack running from left to right 3”.

Forend is attached with a screw and two brass studs with some chipping around studs. 3/4” left side panel at tang. Brass butt plate and handsome, fancy shaped and engraved brass patch box (to hold the percussion caps) has lightly engraved initials “MK” undoubtedly indicating personal ownership by the inventor Martin V. Kacer (made under his patent No. 273288 of March 6, 1883). Underside of barrel lightly marked “Belgium” merely indicating that Kacer utilized and imported the barrel or used one from another gun. The “Belgium” is washed out, indicating barrel was finished sometime after barrel stamp was applied. Martin Kacer operated out of St. Louis, Missouri, and applied for two patents in 1883; one was this breech loading firearm, while the other was a magazine gun. We could find no evidence that either of these ever made it into standard production. As such, this would be a great addition to any collection of rare and unusual American made 19th century single shot rifles. 3,500.00 - 4,500.00

This rifle was made between 1936 and end of production and was issued as standard with round barrel, walnut stocks, blue finish and sporting sight. All metal surfaces were nickel plated and appears to have been done at the factory or professionally dealer applied during the era. All legends are sharp and devoid of any nickel inside them, including the small “PW” as well as all other legends, which would indicate they were applied after the finish. All edges are razor sharp. The rifle retains approximately 95% of what we believe to be factory nickel, which would make this an extremely scarce rifle,. The only appreciable nickel wear appears to be on the push rod and near the safety near trigger with some very light areas of minor freckling. Forend is excellent, proud to metal with no cracks or chips. The butt stock likewise would be in excellent condition as it is proud to metal, all original finish, no cracks with some minor abrasions with the exception of the chip off the toe at buttplate. The buttplate is bent at chip, which should be an easy repair. Extremely nice, rare rifle. 400.00 - 800.00

The Harper’s Ferry Armory made 2,020 Model 1836 Hall carbines between 1837 and 1840. Most of these carbines were intended for issue to the U.S. 2nd Dragoon regiment. The Model 1836 carbine has a distinctive 22” sliding angular bayonet located in a v-shaped groove below the smooth .64 caliber bore. Model 1836 carbines utilized some components from the Hall Model 1819 Flintlock rifles including the breechblock (this one dated 1834) with high fence rifle trigger guard that is not drilled for a sling swivel and off-set rear sight. The rifle has two pin-fastened iron barrel bands, a spur-shaped breech lever, and sling ring that consists of an eye-bolt, which passes entirely through the stock and is secured by a spanner nut on the right side of the stock wrist. This carbine has the later pattern stock which lacks the hinged implement box cover found on many Model 1836 carbines. The hammer lacks the hole below the spur found on most Model 1836 carbines. The breechblock is stamped J.H. Hall H. Ferry US 1834 and shows hints of original color but is basically brown patina mixed with gun metal grey, the bayonet is bright. The barrel, buttplate and furniture have approximately 85% arsenal applied lacquer brown finish. The stock is oil-finished walnut with no cracks but does have numerous dents and bruises having seen some service. Another interesting aspect of this carbine is that the front and rear sites are off set to allow a sighting plane and not blocked by the hammer. Perfect bore and action.

640 - FINE SHARPS BERDAN MODEL 1859 RIFLE. Serial No. 56339. Features a 30” barrel in .52 bore-percussion. Approximately 2,000 of these special Sharps rifles were manufactured for Hiram Berdan’s sharpshooters. All were based on the Model 1859 Sharps rifle with subtle changes, which included: lack of bayonet lug so that sabers would lock into front sight post; no lever loading lock and adjustable double set triggers, which allowed for precision shooting. Another telltale sign is the punch-dot inside patch box. There were two serial number ranges for these special order rifles. The first was 39573 through 40872, the second batch of numbers is 54390 to 57574. The serial number on this rifle, 56339, falls into that second block. N. 56314 is the closest recorded and document Berdan Sharps to this serial number. The left side of the wrist has the proper “J.T.” cartouche within the oval and is clearly readable. Top of barrel is stamped “Sharps Rifle Manufg. Co. Hartford, Conn.”. Breech is stamped “New Model 1859”. Both sides of receiver have proper Sharps patent date stamps. In the summer and fall of 1861, Hiram Berdan was involved in the recruiting of 18 companies, from eight states, which were formed into two sharpshooter regiments with the backing of General Winfield Scott and President Abraham Lincoln. Berdan was named as Colonel of the resultant 1st and 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters on November 30, 1861. His men, who had to pass rigorous marksmanship tests, were dressed in distinctive green uniforms and equipped with the most advanced long-range rifles featuring telescopic sights. Even when assigned to a brigade, the regiments were usually detached for special assignments on the field of battle. They were frequently used for skirmish duty. Berdan fought at the Seven Days Battles and Second Battle of Bull Run. In September 1862, his sharpshooters were at the Battle of Shepherdstown. Berdan commanded the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, 3rd Corps, Army of the Potomac in February and March 1863, then he commanded the 3rd Brigade at the Battle of Chancellorsville. At the Battle of Gettysburg, his two regiments of sharpshooters played an important role in delaying Confederate attacks on Devil’s Den and the Peach Orchard. In a sharp encounter in Pitzer’s Woods on Seminary Ridge, the 1st U.S. Sharpshooters stalled the advancing Alabama brigade of Cadmus Wilcox. Berdan assumed command of J. H. Hobart Ward’s brigade when the latter became acting division commander (David B. Birney having become acting corps commander following the wounding of Daniel Sickles) and led the division throughout the rest of the campaign, as well as during the subsequent Bristoe and Mine Run campaigns. During his tenure as leader of the Sharpshooters, he worked with military brass to get an order of specially equipped Sharps New Model 1859 rifles. This is one of those special rifles. It is also one of the finest existing examples known. The barrel is a smooth blue that is just beginning to turn and mix patina, has no pitting or damage of any kind, with some light age freckles. It has the Lawrence patent rear sight, barrel legends are strong as new. The receiver colors have turned soft grey with some pattern with no pitting or damage of any kind. Has the original sling swivels to include the split rear. Stock cartouche on left side is perfect. Rear stock screw still retains some brilliant blue. Patch box and buttplate are a soft grey. Forend walnut stock is excellent with just a couple of extremely minor spots. Three barrel band retaining springs still have the vast majority of the original finish. Rear walnut stock is excellent with no cracks, proud to metal, immaculate fit, with just a couple of very minor mars.

The only flaw is a small chip at toe. Has a strong bore, still shiny with some minor residue and a perfect action. One of the finest Berdan Sharps with immeasurable Civil War history and the genesis of the American sniper. 12,000.00 - 15,000.00

This exact type of rifle, serial No. C34653, which is 51 numbers off of the offered example, can be seen on page 178 on the Sharps Firearms Book by Frank Sellers. In 1871 the United State government and Springfield Armory began work on converting Sharps percussion weapons on hand, and began to convert these weapons at the arsenal. The percussion systems were made to fire self-contained cartridges and newly manufactured 35” barrels were applied, the new type of military rear sight was installed, two barrel bands feature the “U” stamp. Left side of frame still has the Sharps 1852 and 1859 patents, and a proof “P” was added to right side of plate. The right side of frame has the 1848 patent with a letter “C” stamped. Butt stocks utilize the carbine style buttplate, rather than the Sharps, and a “E.S.A.” inspector cartouche is clearly visible on left side of stock. Buttplate is stamped “U.S.”. Left side of stock is stamped “W.O.G.”. The barrel is a smooth brown patina. Case colors on frame and lever have nickeled out and are a dull gun metal patina. Walnut stocks are excellent with no cracks or major chips with the usual abrasions and a vast amount of original finish. Has a steel ramrod under the barrel with a cleaning slot and jag.

Round 22-7/8” barrel, full magazine, with two barrel bands, integral front sight and three leaf folding L-shaped carbine rear sight graduated for 100, 300 and 700 yards. Right side receiver is marked “BURGESS PAT.” without dates above the elongated loading gate. The number 1 is stamped on the barrel under the forend as well as on the lever. There are no other visible markings or serial numbers observed inside or out. The elongated loading gate has a retractable cover. The mortised top cover is rectangular in shape and is directly connected to the lever, functioning in either direction. Mounted with straight grained un-checkered walnut, straight grip and crescent buttplate without trap. A photograph of the exact type of carbine is pictured on page 6 of the “Colt-Burgess Magazine Rifle” by Samuel L. Maxwell, Sr. published in 1985. The 1872 Burgess Carbine is one of the most appealing and rarest lever action magazine rifle in existence and the prototype of several generations of Burgess patented lever action magazine firearms that followed”. The 1872 Burgess Carbine is also the subject of the Sept. 1963 Gun Report article by Bish. This is likely an early Oswego, NY 1872 prototype suitable for the advanced collector. Condition is all original as manufactured, no alterations or changes. All metal surfaces are a soft pleasing gun metal grey patina and mixed with some light brown patina and aged freckling. The front site is set into the front barrel band much like the Winchester 1873 First Model Carbine. The walnut stocks are excellent, butt stock has no cracks or chips but there is a professional repair at the frame that is literally not visible any longer. There is a small closed crack on left forearm running from barrel band to end. Beautifully fitted walnut stocks display nearly all of the original finish with some raised grain, albeit a bit shy at toe. The bore is near mint with sharp strong rifling. It seems to be in fine working order. This is a very clean all original and exceedingly rare lever action carbine. Total production is unknown but fewer than six examples exist in any condition. This carbine is so rare that it is recognized by few people and it would be a gem in any Colt, Burgess or lever action collection and one you will probably never see again. 12,000.00 - 16,000.00

It wears standard sporting front and rear sights. It has a flat proper muzzle with proper front sight setback. Given the extensive amount of original finish that still remains on this rifle it defies explanation as to why the barrel is 26-1/2”, as it must have been either a period professional alteration given that the weapon shows very light use or was custom ordered as you do not generally find shortened barrels on guns who’s high condition defies such logic. In either case, it is a beautiful high conditioned big bore with the special order half magazine and smooth shotgun butt that has seen very little use over its 150 year life time.

662 - **U.S. KRAG MODEL 1899 CARBINE. Serial No. 286577. .30-40 Krag with a 22” barrel. For all intents and purposes this appears to a standard 1899 Krag carbine. It has the proper carbine stock with the 1899 S.A.A. cartouche on left wrist with the type seven hardguard used on the 1899 carbine and Model 1898 rifle, and the 1901 rear sight that is stamped “C” for carbine on both the right side rail and rear leaf. The only item on this carbine that is not proper is the barrel, which has the turned muzzle like those found on the Philippine constabulary. This is described on page 268 of the “American Krag Rifle & Carbine”

by Joe Poyer as “U.S. magazine carbine, caliber .30, Model of 1899, altered knife bayonet and sling”. These short rifles were made at the Manilla arsenal for the Philippine Constabulary and at the Springfield Armory and Rock Island Arsenal for schools offering military officer training courses.

The Springfield Armory remanufactured 350 U.S. magazine carbine, Model of 1899 altered for knife bayonet. This carbine presents the question why a standard 1899 carbine, with standard carbine stock, sports the altered barrel but no other parts, nor is the configuration proper for a Philippine short rifle. It is simply all original 1899 carbine with the altered barrel. By changing the barrel with a proper carbine barrel this would be a carbine.

In either case an interesting variation. The barrel is basically gun metal grey, as is the frame and magazine. Walnut stocks are near mint with proper cartouche on left and “P” on bottom, no cracks or chips, but with beautiful original factory finish. Strong rifled bore and a perfect action.

This National Match bolt action rifle was manufactured in 1922 and has a matching Springfield Armory April 1922 dated barrel with the star gauge stamp on muzzle. Production of the Springfield 1903 between the wars was very limited. The star gauge barrel did not appear until June of 1921, making 1922 the first year in which the star gauge National Match rifle was made available, and the barrel date and the receiver numbers match. Has all original early features including the type four hand guard (1921-1928), the “J.F.C.” cartouche on left side of stock was used from 1904 to 1918 and has the wide finger groove as Springfield used up the surplus World War I stocks. It is the type “S” stock with two bolts. It has a polished bolt stamped “J5” with a rare headless cocking piece. The bolt knob is slightly swept.

The receiver and barrel have the original dark blue-black matte arsenal finish, proper for the period and never arsenal refinished. It has the type two serrated trigger used from 1921 to 1940 and on National Match rifles of that era. All proper milled parts. As to condition, the barrel, front barrel band and receiver retain fully 90% of their original finish. The collar has the oil quenched finish.

This rifle dates to the earliest period of the National Match models and Mr. Wayne Gagner surmised that this rifle may have been purchased as a special order featuring all the early National Match features but was not recorded as such, given the early production of this model. Little is known or recorded of the National Match rifles of this era. All the National Match features on this rifle are correct for the period, except for the updated sight knobs.

670 - **SCARCE PEDERSEN-VICKERS SEMI-AUTO RIFLE. Serial No. 39. .276 caliber with a 24” barrel. This is a beautiful example of a very rare Pedersen Self-Loading Rifle designed by John D. Pedersen, manufactured around 1929 in England by Vickers-Armstrong. In 1923 the Army hired J.D. Pedersen to design a semi-automatic rifle as a replacement for the Model 1903 and Model 1917 rifles. The first Pedersen Self-Loading Rifle was approved for testing in 1924 with Springfield Armory manufacturing 20 Pedersen rifles for initial field tests in 1927 that were to run concurrently with the .276 caliber semi-automatic rifle developed by John C. Garand. The Pedersen rifle performed well in the initial service tests. In 1929 Pedersen contracted with Vickers-Armstrong to manufacture the Pedersen Self-Loading Rifle in England. English-made rifles were used in the final Army tests between the Pedersen and Garand rifles. In 1932 the Army selected the Garand rifle for limited procurement and the development of the Pedersen rifle for the Army ceased. Vickers-Armstrong manufactured less than 200 Pedersen Self-Loading Rifles for testing by China and Portugal. This example is chambered for a .276 caliber cartridge tentatively approved in 1927 by the U.S. Army as a replacement for the .30-06 cartridge. The rifle features a delayed blow-back action with toggling breechblock design that uses a 10-round clip similar to that used in the M1 Garand Rifle. The left side of the receiver is roll stamped “PEDERSEN SELFLOADER PA/VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS LTD”. The serial number, “39” (making this a very early example) is located on the right side of the receiver, and the top of the receiver ring is stamped with a circled “C2” marking. The rifle has full round barrel with no spirals found only on very early examples, covered by a steel handguard/heat shield with fourteen cooling holes on each side and is fitted with a Model 1917 type pattern upper barrel band. The bolt toggle has a sliding bar safety marked “REDY” on the left side of the bar and “SAFE” on the right side. The rifle is fitted with a one-piece walnut pistol grip stock with finger grooves on the sides of the forend with a series of cooling holes on the underside of the forend that extend from the upper barrel band to the trigger guard. The rifle is equipped with a unique, fully adjustable rear sight that uses a rotary-drum mechanism for elevation adjustment with a sliding-bar/rear sight aperture for the windage adjustments. Both are graduated in half-minute of angle adjustments. Any examples of a Pedersen Self-Loading Rifle should be considered very rare and certainly a center piece of any British or early U.S. martial rifle collection. Excellent with 95% of the original parkerized/blued finish overall with wear on the edges and high spot from handling and light firing. The stock is a beautiful oil finished walnut with no cracks or chips, just a few minor impressions and a couple of darkened oil spots. Fine bore and action. Comes with a blue-grey canvas Navy-type sling and an original sealed box of ammunition. Extremely scarce with the low serial number and solid round barrel. An example of this type can be seen at the Cody Museum. This is a beautiful example of a really high end and very rare Pedersen Semi-Automatic Rifle. 25,000.00 - 30,000.00

671 - SCARCE HIGH CONDITION COLT BURGESS L.A. RIFLE. Serial No. 3774. 25-1/2” barrel chambered for .44-40 WCF caliber. This fine Colt lever action rifle has condition, scarcity, and destination point all in its favor. As the legend goes, the Winchester folks tolerated Colt’s production of the Lightning series of pump action rifles, but their patience wore thin when Colt introduced the Burgess Model lever action rifle to compete with their popular Model 1873. It is further believed that Winchester used this catalyst to begin experimentation with revolvers which would then compete with the Colt Single Action. This tit for tat waged on from 1883 with the introduction of the Colt lever action, when in 1885 Colt ceased production of this model. Colt produced a total of 6,403 in both rifle and carbine configuration that were chambered in the .44 caliber. It is therefore a very hard to find firearm in any condition, let alone one in a higher bracket. In addition, the factory letter from Colt lists this rifle as having been shipped to one of the most famous gun retailers in the West, that of John P. Lower & Sons of Denver, Colorado. This gun was shipped as one of ten total guns (does not mean all ten guns were Burgess rifles) on November 26th, 1883.

The letter confirms that this was a standard rifle in all respects. Features a full octagon barrel, full magazine, blued finish, walnut stocks, rifle butt with original sporting front and rear sights. The barrel, tube and forend retain approximately 95-98% original factory blue finish with razor sharp edges, a hint of wear at muzzle and end of magazine and a few very minor age spots as is usually found on a high condition 150 year old weapon. The barrel legend is sharp as new. Frame retains approximately 85% high polish blue finish on right side with a bit more toning mixing with the blue on top, bottom and left side. Surface areas of frame that are not bright blue have blended with a smooth pleasing patina. There are a couple of light pock marks on left side of frame and some minor salt and pepper on top of frame to left of ejection port. Traces of case colors remain on lever.

Fairly sharp frame screws with some light burrs. The Colt pony on left side exhibits a light stamp. The wood is all original, proud to metal, with some oil spotting, but retains much of the original finish. Exhibits no cracks with a 1/8” sliver at wrist and upper tang. There are a few mars in the wood at the upper comb. Has a perfect action with a strong visible rifled bore that has some black powder abrasion/residue. This rare Colt is way above average compared to those usually found and boasts a Western related historic destination. 7,000.00 - 10,000.00

(Webley-Greene) once owned by Caption J. Summers, R.A.F (engraved on left side plate). This fine condition revolver is standard in all respects with the high post front sight, blued finish, six shot, double action, top break with smooth walnut grips and lanyard ring. The octagon barrel retains approximately 85 percent of the factory blue finish with the balance a smooth gun metal gray with high edge wear.

Right side of frame has the B.V. crown proof. Grip straps have grayed out. Perfect bore. Cylinder indexes and locks up as new. This revolver comes in an original brown flap holster that has four factory attached cartridge loops. The W.G. Army revolver with 6” barrel was a favorite with the British officers due to its accuracy and dependability. The Royal Air Corps became the Royal Air Force in 1918. What makes this revolver special is the historical significance of events surrounding Captain Summers and his place in history. Captain J Summers was born in England and was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in April of 1915. He was a commissioned second Lieutenant and received his aviator license # 2154 of Dec 13 of that year. While flying his Sopwith Camel on a mission on August 12 of 1918, he was shot down by none other than Lothar Von Richthofen, the brother of the famed Red Baron, Manford. The victory was to be Von Richthofen’s last. Summer’s survived the crash and was sent to the German prison camp but this was the age of chivalry and cavaliers and Summer’s was actually entertained by Von Richtofen and the entire Flying Circus that had gained so much fame under Luther’s brother, the Red Baron. Summer’s was released in December of 1918 but remained with the RAF and was commissioned Captain in August of 1919 and retired from the service in 1943. During his exploits as a flyer in WWI, he was recorded with 8 victories and was awarded the military cross. A brief history of Lothar shows he was active as a flyer from 1914 to 1918. Historians regard Lothar as the better of the two flyers. He scored 24 victories in the skies in 47 days while flying with the Red Baron and was awarded with 40 confirmed kills. His victory over Summers in August 12 of 1918 was his final. Only four months after the death of his famous brother. A beautiful revolver with a storied history. Since Captain Summers spent the remainder of the war as a P.O.W it is unknown if this revolver was carried and returned to him or was purchased soon after. He did not have a revolver in his possession as a P.O.W. 4,000.00 - 8,000.00

The two-piece walnut grips have a high polish “piano” finish. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the legend: “NEW HAVEN CONN./PATENT FEB. 14. 1854” in two lines.

Grip screw is a replacement. The top and sides of the receiver and the back strap are engraved with the large, open, scroll work utilized by the New Haven Arms Co., on factory engraved guns.

The Volcanic lever action, integral magazine and self-contained “rocket ball” cartridges represented a significant advance in firearms design. Oliver F. Winchester’s investment in the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company and subsequent controlling interest in the New Haven Arms Company eventually led to the establishment of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The resplendent brass receiver is a wonderful untouched mustard tone. The open scroll engraving is crisp. The side plate joints are tight and the receiver has minimal handling marks. The barrel legends are sharp. Barrel is a mix of dull gun metal grey patina with some age spotting and one 1/4’ spot of roughness on right barrel flat. Hammer has traces of original color. Lever is a dull gun metal grey with light freckling. The grips are in excellent condition retaining the majority of the high gloss finish with wear to edges and slightly shy to metal with no cracks or chips. Strong rifled bore.

The barrel is a brown/gray spotted patina with a fixed rear sight and a small dove tail blade front. The lock is a dark gray patina and the brass screws have been peened. The stock is cracked at the wrist and has some minor chipping around the plate and a 3” crack forward of the lock. There is some chipping around the stock screw, missing ram rod. The rail is partially detached at the muzzle. This has the basis of being a very lovely rifle and someone who is handy with the stock repairs could greatly improve the appearance of this rifle.

721 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION MUSKET. Serial No. 33082. Caliber .44 rimfire with a 27” barrel. This is a very good example of an early 3rd Model Winchester 1866 Musket. Standard 27” round barrel, long fore wood, military/carbine style butt stock and sling swivels. The 24” tubular magazine holds seventeen rounds of .44 rimfire ammunition. The serial number is 33082. It was made in 1870 and while unmarked, the serial number is right in the middle of a group of muskets that shipped to the Louisiana State Militia in the 31,000 to 34,000 range. Muskets within this serial range are as identified as possible weapons used in the Battle of Liberty Place, which took place on Canal Street in New Orleans on September 14th, 1874, where a monument now stands. On that date, Democratic paramilitary members of the White League most of them ex-Confederate soldiers, battled with the Metropolitan police and the Louisiana State Militia. This riot stemmed from the 1872 Gubernatorial race, which pitted Democrat John McEvery and Republican William Kellogg. Both claimed victory, but the government supported the Republican Kellogg. As to the rifle condition: all steel parts are a smooth dark chocolate patina with strong barrel legend, original front sight, a period replaced military style two-leaf folding rear sight (not Winchester). The brass frame and buttplate are a deep rich mustard color and are in excellent condition. The lever screw and the two bottom frame screws are burred. Sling swivels are original issue.

Loading gate is a mix of blue freckled patina. As to the stocks, the rear stock is in very good condition, albeit slightly shy to metal at wrist, but appears to have its original finish or one that was applied a century ago. Nicely carved and of the period on left side of stock is “Le Duc de Hanes” which translates to “The Duke of Hanes”. A preliminary search did not turn up any information on such a person. The original forend has been cut back during the period to just slightly forward of middle barrel band and there is a crack extending from 1” forward of rear barrel band to the frame. Bore shows visible rifling. Perfect action. A handsome Model 1866 musket that, with some more detailed research, may prove to be very historically interesting.

763 - MAJ. J.B. WHITE CITADEL CIVIL WAR SWORD & SCABBARD 39” James B. White graduated from the Citadel, the framed military academy in Charleston, South Carolina in 1849. He became its superintendent in 1861 where he served until the wars ended. During the Civil War the cadets at the Arsenal and Citadel were organized as a battalion of States Cadets. Major White was in charge of the cadets that were known as company A. Several times during the Civil War he was ordered to deploy the cadets. One of the most famous incidents of the Civil War involved Major White and his cadets. The battle was historically significant because it was one of the rare occasions when the United States Marines fought in combat during the Civil War. In addition, the Confederate forces included the entire Corps of Cadets from the South Carolina Military Academy (now The Citadel) who comprised more than a third of the Rebel force. It is also the only occasion when the entire student body of a U.S. college fought in combat. This was referred to as the battle of Tulifinny and it was fought against General Sherman’s forces during his famous march to the sea. Another very famous incident that Major White’s cadets were involved was the firing on the Star of the West. The Star of the West was hired by the United States government to transport military supplies and reinforcements to the U.S. military garrison of Fort Sumter, but was fired on by cadets from The Citadel. The ship was a substitute for Sloop-of-War. It was fired upon in January 1861. After the war, the Citadel was occupied by Federal forces and none of the cadets were called back to college. This original sword and scabbard was Major White’s personal saber. The scabbard is decorated with the state seal of South Carolina with the 1776 date. Beneath that is a 1” circular inscription that was stamped State Cadets with initials J.B.W. in script (James Benjamin White) 1828-1906. An extremely interesting and historically important offering from one of the more unique of all Civil War experiences. The sword itself is a standard 1850’s officer’s staff sword that has nice fire blue air blade with federal eagle. The sword bears no special inscriptions, but it is the historical value of the sword and especially the scabbard, that makes this an important piece of Civil War history. The sword itself is a circa 1840’s officer’s saber with a curved blade that measures 31”. There is no manufacturer on the hilt. Etched in a patriotic theme with eagle, ribbon, cannons, flag, and an Indian head. The etchings are in gold.

Center of the blade has the fire blued tempered surface. The blade does not show signs of heavy sharpening. Has some age freckling. The hand guard is made of brass. Wood handle. Wire wrap is missing. The sword blade is nice, but re-wrapping the wooden handle would greatly enhance its appearance. 6,000.00 - 10,000.00

770 - FRED MUELLER HOLSTER/BELT COLT RIG. Fred Mueller opened his first leather shop at 1415 Larimer Street in Denver Colorado in 1891. It was located one block away from the first Wells Fargo office in the West. He was well known for making sturdy and dependable leather products and his wares were wildly popular with cowboys. Both the holster and the belt are maker marked with his stamp. The holster is a standard double loop of plain russet leather with no tooling, full skirt, and will house a Colt Single Action Army in either 4-3/4” or 5-1/2” barrel length, but the latter does protrude an 1/8” past toe. The holster skirt is stamped with the maker mark. The belt is a simple belt with no cartridge loops and features a nickel plated oval buckle, and it too is stamped. Holster has a much older maker mark than the belt, and the colors are a bit off as one was purchased years later.

This would make a nice rig for a pre-war Colt Single Action Army that had been shipped to Denver. It remains in excellent shape. Holster does have some busted and missing stitching, but is still pliable.

This revolver was converted at the Colt factory using the Richards Mason conversion system circa 1871 to 1873. Utilizing the basic standard parts of a Colt 1860 Army .44 caliber percussion revolver, these were converted to fire the .44 Colt cartridge with the bored through cylinder.

Addition of a conversion ring and loading gate, and an added right side ejector rod, this is an excellent, all original, example of such a conversion.

These were very popular in the old West and there were many more of these guns west of the Mississippi than the more popularized Colt Single Action. All metal surfaces are a smooth pleasing soft grey-brown patina.

Evidently it was purchased along with the Schofield Model by Wells Fargo & Co. where the barrel was shortened and the “W.F.&Co. Ex. 21” was stamped on the right barrel lug for identification purpose. This is only the second Wells Fargo Smith & Wesson American that we have seen. It was nickel plated at the time of its alteration and retains approximately 30% of that finish with the balance a mix of brow and grey patina. Original walnut grips are very good. The top break revolver needs some minor mechanical attention as the cylinder does not index and the hammer does not stay cocked. Strong clean bore. The cylinder and latch have matching numbers but do not match the frame, which is very common on these guns, as , much like the artillery Colt single action, parts were switched at the time of alteration. In addition, “21” is stamped on the bottom of the frame, which matches the Wells Fargo ID number. Right grip panel appears to have several kill notches.

785 - S&W SCHOFIELD WELLS FARGO REVOLVER (EL PASO).

Serial No. 1227. .45 Schofield caliber with a 5-1/16” barrel. The story of the Wells Fargo revolvers is well known. This gun started off life as a standard 7” U.S. marked Schofield top break revolver first model issued to the cavalry troops in the early 1870’s. These revolvers were purchased by the Wells Fargo Company. Their barrels were shortened, Wells Fargo ID stamped on right side of barrel, and many were nickel plated. They continued to see heavy use along the mail routes and through the Indian Territories throughout the last quarter of the 19th century. As if the Indian Wars and Wells Fargo historical aspect were not exciting enough, this revolver bears a silver disc in the left side of grip that is engraved :Wells Fargo & Co. El Paso” The area around where the disc was set in is a dark black patina and was expertly inlayed. The silver disc has tarnished. The revolver itself retains approximately 30-40% original factory nickel with the balance turn a dark brown patina with some freckling. “W.F. & Co. Ex. 1227” can be found stamped on the right side of the bottom barrel lug. The style of font and numbering system bears the same style and placement of other known examples. Original wood grips are very good with a small chip at right front toe. Butt is stamped “U.S.”. Bottom of the barrel is stamped “L.P.” inspector. Cylinder is numbered to frame. Left side barrel legend is perfect. Strong rifled bore. Indexes and locks up perfectly. Grips were refinished long ago and are slightly shy to metal. We have neither seen nor heard of another example with the disc set into the grip but there are no signs of any recent manipulation. Heavy patina around the area. We feel confident on the authenticity of this disc and the weapon itself is unquestionable.

Serial No. 37399. .45 caliber with a 7-1/2” barrel. This revolver was shipped on October 12th, 1877 in a 50 gun shipment to famed New York dealers Schuyler, Hartley & Graham. It was shipped as a standard revolver with the 7-1/2” barrel, blued finish, .45 caliber and walnut stocks. This was the exact specification of the revolvers being manufactured for the U.S. cavalry at the time. This retailer was one of the largest of the era and shipped firearms to all Western destinations. This revolver retains approximately 30% of the period nickel finish. It was very common practice by the dealers to nickel plate guns for the clients, especially during this era when it was nearly impossible to get a nickel plated gun directly from Colt, as the majority of the Model 1873s were being manufactured for the military. In addition the walnut grips were replaced with a pair of Colt gutta percha grips which have worn almost smooth over time. Strong legends. The cylinder is not numbered, so it had to be a period replacement. In addition, the ejector rod head is the half moon style Indexes perfectly. Has a strong clean bore.

Offered is a fine Colt Single Action Army that was shipped with 50 guns on October 10, 1882 to Wexell & Degress who had offices in both Mexico City and New York. Factory letter lists the gun as a .45 Colt caliber, barrel length not listed, shipped blue with rubber grips. The gun sports a 5-1/2” barrel and is nickel plated with vintage pearl grips. All the markings are perfect which would indicate, given its shipment to Wexell & Degress, that it was dealer plated and the pearl grips fitted at the time. This was a common practice amongst the largest retailers during that era. The barrel retains approximately 50% nickel finish, turned brown patina. There is wear to the muzzle at the left side of the barrel blending to gray and nickel and mixes perfectly to give an overall smooth appearance.
