This is a truly rare No. 1 or "pocket model" Volcanic pistol that was manufactured by the New Haven Arms Company successor to the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company. New Haven Arms manufactured Volcanic firearms from 1851 until 1860 when the company was reorganized again, this time as the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It is believed that fewer than 850 of these No.1 pistols with 3 1/2 inch barrels were manufactured from 1857 until 1860. Because so few were made very few survived making these pistols extremely desirable in any condition. These pistols retailed for $12.00 at the time of production with an added expense of $1.50 for engraving or plating, this pistol having both! This example features the standard fixed front and rear sight. The top barrel flat is marked "NEW HAVEN CONN. PATENT FEB 14.1854" in a single line. The pistol has a high polish blue finish on the octagon barrel. The loading lever is blue and has the distinctive finger ring. The hammer and trigger are casehardened and the cartridge elevator is niter blue. The frame, grip strap, and cartridge follower are all beautifully gold plated. The pistol is factory engraved on the frame and grip strap. Each side of the frame features the "typical" large open scrollwork and a non-typical thumbprint motif at the center. The top of the frame and back strap have a matching floral design. The two-piece, flat-bottom, walnut grips have a high gloss finish. The serial number "1168" is stamped on the inside of each grip and again on the left side of the grip strap. This particular pistol is photographed and described in two well known and respected firearms publications. The first, "Volcanic Firearms" by Edmund Lewis and Stephen Rutter on page 74. The description states that the pistol belonged to Captain James Drum a Civil War veteran who was killed at the battle of San Juan Hill. The second is the May, 2000 issue of "The Gun Report" where it is featured on the cover and discussed on page 34. "The Gun Report" states that the original purchaser of this firearm acquired it from U.S. Army General James Hugh Drum who inherited it from his father, Captain James Drum a Civil War veteran who was killed at the battle of San Juan Hill. While no documentation can verify this story, further research was done by the writer and uncovered a strong military tradition in the Drum family, most notable of which is U.S. Army General James Hugh Drum. Hugh Aloysius Drum was born September 19, 1879 and died October 3, 1951. Drum served as assistant Chief of Staff to General John J. Pershing in France during WWI and was promoted to Colonel in 1918 and became Chief of Staff to the First United States Army. He was promoted to General in 1931 and sent to Honolulu where he brushed shoulders with George S. Patton. With the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 Drum assumed command of Eastern Defense Command responsible for domestic defense along the Atlantic seaboard. During his career he was awarded the Silver Star, Distinguished Service Medal, the Mexican Border Service Medal and the Croix de Guerre. Fort Drum, New York named for him. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

No other Winchester name carries with it more public appeal or notoriety than "1 of 1000". These rifles, manufactured in both the 1873 and 1876 models are the crown jewel of Winchester collectors who have been fortunate enough to acquire one and sit at the top of the wish list for any collector still "in the hunt". Model 1876 "One of One Thousand" are significantly rarer than their Model 1873 counterparts in fact this rifle is 1 of 6 Model 1876 "1 of 1000" with a 30 inch barrel. Estimates suggest that no greater than 55 Model 1876 "One of One Thousands" were manufactured over a four year production period which lasted from 1876 until 1880. This particular rifle carries with it a captivating story which is all extensively documented and accompanies this rifle. This rifle, serial number 3,551, was first discovered during the Universal Studios search for these historic rifles which at the time coincided with the studios release of the film "Winchester 73". This rifle was discovered by Mr. Robert Steele Withers of Liberty Missouri in May of 1950. In a letter dated May 23, 1950 Mr. Withers states; "I am glad to report that I am the owner of one of the "One of One Thousand" Winchester rifles. A neighbor of mine died and told his wife that he wanted me to have this gun. He was tubercular during the later years of his life and spent some years in Tombstone Arizona. While there he traded a smaller gun for this gun." Included with this rifle are many various correspondents between Mr. Withers and James C. Hartley director of research of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company (division of Olin Industries, Inc.). Once Mr. Withers received verification that he did indeed own a true "1 of 1000" he sent it back to the factory "with instructions to put it in perfect condition". By the time Mr. Withers returned the rifle for restoration the factory was no longer doing casehardening which is why it is now finished blue. One of the most interesting documents associated with this rifle is a press release from Winchester which announces Mr. Withers as an "owner of one of the most sought after rifles in the United States". The press release goes on to tell the story of Mr. Withers acquiring the gun from his neighbor and then states; "Mr. Withers recognized the rifle as a rarity and sent it to Winchester for reconditioning and learned from the company that it had originally been shipped from New Haven to Tombstone, Ariz., in 1876 for $125.00". As a result of the press release Mr. Withers and the story of his rifle as well as the presentation to him of a model 94 Winchester for successfully finding a 1 of 1000 were featured in several newspaper articles of which copies are included in the documentation. At Winchesters request they asked to target the gun for Mr. Withers, upon receiving his permission they reported the gun was "as accurate as it could have ever been". The rifle is accompanied by many more pieces of documentation one of which is a factory letter which confirms the configuration and states; Type: rifle, Barrel Type: octagon, Barrel Length: 30 inches, Trigger: set, Pistol grip stock, Casehardened, 1 of 1000. The rifle was received in the warehouse on May 20, 1878 and shipped from the warehouse on June 19, 1878, Order number 11781. In Edmund Lewis's new book The Story of the Winchester 1 of 1000 and 1 of 100 Rifles he states "Many of the 1 of 1000s were sent to Montana or California. This is the only model 76 1 of 1000 rifle that is known to have gone to the Arizona Territory". This rifle is fully documented on pages 100 and 101 of that book. The rifle features a gold washed Beeches front sight with a correct "1876" dated folding ladder rear sight and the tang is equipped with a long range peep sight. The barrel is roll stamped “WINCHESTER'S-REPEATING ARMS. NEW HAVEN. CT./KING'S-IMPROVEMENT-PATENTED-MARCH 29.1866. OCTOBER 16. 1860". The muzzle features a single silver inlaid band and is beautifully engraved in the typical 1 of 1000 tight scroll and vine pattern. The "One of One Thousand" legend is the fourth style script inscription flanked by the scroll and vine motifs and single silver band inlay. The barrel and receiver have the Winchester "WP" proofs. The frame, hammer, lever, and second type thumbprint dust cover are blue. Single set triggers, as mentioned in the factory letter. The rifle is finished with a handsome deluxe triple-x checkered American walnut stock with an early pattern checkered forearm and pistol grip with a Fleur-de-Lis ebony inlay grip cap. BBL: 30 inch octagon Stock: deluxe factory walnut Gauge: 45-75 Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 3551 Condition: Excellent as reconditioned by the factory (see above). Overall retains 99% deep factory blue. It is clear that while the metal surfaces were restored to like new condition the wood remains untouched and is in very fine and original condition. Both the forearm and buttstock retain strong original varnish showing two scratches on the left side otherwise only mild pressure marks and scuffs. Overall a fascinating, fully documented and truly rare Winchester Model 1876 worthy of the most advanced arms collection.

The barrel and the cartridge carrier are, correctly, not marked with caliber designations. BBL: 24 inch octagonal Stock: walnut checkered Gauge: 44-40 WCF Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 48757 Condition: Fine overall. The barrel and the magazine tube retain 60% of the original blue finish. There is light-moderate edge wear on the barrel. The finish on the underside of the magazine is thin.

This is an example of a true factory engraved late production Henry rifle that was manufactured by the New Haven Arms Co., circa 1865-1866. True factory engraved Henry rifles are among the most rare and highly sought after collectable firearms and draw interest from a wide range of collectors. Factory engraving was a special order feature at the time as was the option for a plating, and deluxe wood, which is also featured on this rifle. The "pointer" scene is the less frequently encountered scene by Hoggson, more often encountered is the "running deer scene". The top and sides of the receiver, the top of the upper tang and the heel of the buttplate are decorated with factory scroll engraving on a punch-dot background. The large open scrollwork on the sides of the receiver and side plates is enclosed in panels with lines and scalloped borders. A finely detailed hound on point is engraved on the left side plate beneath a wreath of scrollwork. The engraving style is very similar to that on Henry rifle serial number "12173" illustrated on page 26 of "THE BOOK OF WINCHESTER ENGRAVING" by R.L. Wilson. The rifle has a blue 24 inch barrel with integral 15 shot magazine. The hammer and lever have a casehardened finish. The barrel has the second style rear sight with square-back, nickel-silver blade and dovetail mounted folding leaf rear sight. The second style brass receiver lacks the alternate rear sight dovetail found on Henry rifles below serial number 3,000. The brass buttplate has the second style pointed, tang. The left side of the stock is fitted with a factory sling swivel and the left side of the barrel has a screw fastened factory loop for a sling hook. The stock is highly figured fancy grain walnut with a high polish varnish finish. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend "HENRY'S PATENT. OCT. 16. 1860/MANUFACT'D BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS CO. NEWHAVEN.CT.". The legend is the late pattern which is slightly larger than the legend found on Henry rifles under serial number 4,000 and has all serifed letters. The serial number, "12637" is stamped on the top of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver, the left side of the lower receiver tang, upper tang inlet of the stock and the inside of the buttplate. All of the visible serial numbers match. The late style cap-head tang and buttplate screws are not stamped with the rifles serial number like the hand fitted screws on early-mid production Henry rifles. The "H" inspection mark of B. Tyler Henry is stamped on the lower receiver tang between the lever latch and the tang screw. An "F" is stamped on the left side of the upper tang beneath the stock. BBL: 24 inch octagon Stock: walnut Gauge: 44 Henry Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 12637 Condition: Very good plus. Traces of blue finish remain on the barrel and integral magazine has aged to a smooth plum patina. The edges of the barrel are sharp and the New Haven Arms Co., legend and serial number are crisp. The folding leaf rear sight has had the edges of the broken leaf modified to create a v-aperture during the period of usage. The hammer and lever have a silver-gray patina. The brass receiver and buttplate are very fine having a mellow untouched patina. The side plate joints are tight. The lower buttplate screw is an old replacement. The correct matching deluxe grade stock has been re-varnished and has a high-polish 'piano' finish. This is a fine example of a scarce factory engraved Henry rifle with deluxe fancy grain walnut stock.

Active from 1882 to 1903, Phantly Roy Bean Junior was a saloon keeper operating in the tent city dubbed "Vinegaroon" when he was appointed as Justice of the Peace of the newly formed Precinct 6 of Pecos County at the request of a Texas Ranger active in the area. Dubbing himself The Law West of the Pecos, Bean held court in his saloon, and earned a reputation as a colorful Old West personality, both as a questionable figure who leveraged his position to his advantage and enforced a drink minimum on juries, and as a benefactor of the local children and respected enforcer of law in an otherwise lawless area. Manufactured in 1885. Dovetail front and sporting notch rear sight, with the caliber markings on the top flat and the two line Winchester address and patent markings ahead of the rear sight. The Third Model frame is extensively engraved, with punched crescent backed scrollwork overall, a dog's head on the left side, a leaping deer on the right, "L.D.N." in a scroll on the underside, and "Judge Roy Bean" in a scroll on the side plate. Additional scrollwork is present on the forearm cap, with a tooled, riveted leather cover secured to the buttstock. Also included with the lot is a magnifying glass, 3 1/2 inches wide, set into a silver frame and mounted to a 9 3/4 inch long ivory tusk handle, which bears an inscription shield reading "To/Judge/Roy Bean/Law/West of the Pecos/1899". The engraving in our opinion is of the period. The tooled skirt on the buttstock is incredible. We have no supporting documentation to authenticate this grouping, but on the other hand, have no way to disprove it either! BBL: 23 inch octagon Stock: walnut Gauge: 38 WCF Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 180466A Condition: Good, showing a deep brown patina overall, scattered handling marks and spotting. A few scratches and dents are visible on the frame, and the front sight blade absent. Fair wood, with a cracked forearm, period repaired wrist, scattered dents and scratches. Leather cover is good, with some scuffing. Mechanically good. A small chip is present in the otherwise fine optics, with a deep aged patina and mild age cracks in the tusk. Mechanically good.

The Model 1855 Pistol-Carbines remained in service through the early part of the Civil War. Nearly all of the surviving examples show wear associated with hard service. The Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine is a unique weapon that shares the distinction, along with the U.S. Model 1817 Flintlock Pistol and the Model 1911 Automatic Pistol, of being one of the three handguns manufactured by the Springfield Armory. BBL: 12 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Very fine. The barrel and lock plate are both crisp.

Many Model 1817 rifles were converted to percussion during the 1850s and both flintlock and percussion Model 1817 Rifles were still in service with state militias at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. BBL: 36 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 cal. Finish: brown/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The unissued rifle is in the original flintlock configuration and retains nearly 80% of the original brown and casehardened finish with scattered light scratches and some minor finish flaking.

Model 1817 Common Rifles in original flintlock configuration with large amounts of original finish, like this rifle, are hard to find.

This highly desirable Model 1855 Percussion two-band rifle was manufactured by the U.S. Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1860.The Model 1855 rifle was manufactured only by the Harper's Ferry Arsenal between 1857 and 1861. It was one of the first U.S. long arms designed specifically to fire the hollow base conical bullet (Minie Ball) and was the last regulation muzzle-loading rifle manufactured by a national armory. The Model 1855 Rifle was an advanced design that featured a lock fitted with the Maynard tape primer nipple bolster with clean-out screw, folding two-leaf rear sight, iron patch box and steel swelled shaft tulip head ramrod. The right side of the barrel had a lug for a brass hilt sword bayonet. The Harper's Ferry Arsenal manufactured 7, 317 Model 1855 rifles; 3,772 rifles were iron-mounted bright finished rifles with two-leaf rear sights like this example. Nearly all of the early production brass mounted Model 1855 rifles were destroyed when the Harper's Ferry Arsenal was burned by Confederate forces in April 1861. Most of the iron mounted rifles, like this example, saw hard service during the Civil War with Federal or Confederate armies. Surviving examples of Model 1855 rifles in good-very good condition are scarce. The rifle barrel, lock, forearm cap, barrel bands, trigger guard, patch box and buttplate are "National Armory Bright". The black walnut stock is oil finished. The lock plate is dated "1860" behind the hammer. The Harper's Ferry spread eagle and shield are roll-stamped on the door of the Maynard tape primer magazine.

The stock is in very good overall condition with moderate handling wear. The edges of the stock surrounding the lock plate and the edges of the left flat are slightly rounded from handling. There are some scattered dents and scratches on the right side of the stock between the lock plate and the upper barrel band. This is a desirable example of a scarce and important Civil War Model 1855 rifle that could have seen service with either the Federal or Confederate armies during the Civil War. These two-band Model 1855 Harpers Ferry's are very scarce!

Photographs show U.S. volunteer cavalry troopers armed with Model 1855 Pistol-Carbines during the Civil War. Nearly all extant Model 1855 Pistol-Carbines show considerable service wear. Batch numbers of the pistol buttcaps and attachable stocks seldom match. BBL: 12 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The pistol-carbine is complete, original and the condition of the stock matches the pistol carbine fine. The iron barrel, lock and back strap have a bright finish with some darkening on protected areas of the lock and hammer. The barrel muzzle and the nipple bolster have some minor flash pitting but most of the metal surfaces have a smooth finish. The lock and barrel markings are clear. The Maynard primer is complete and functional. The brass furniture on the pistol and attachable stock has an attractive patina. The pistol stock has a small and very old chip behind the tail of the lock plate and there are several deep dents in the left stock flat. The balance of the pistol stock remains in fine overall condition. The Ordnance final inspection stamp on the left flat is faint but still legible. The attachable stock is in the same overall condition as the pistol and is in good condition with moderate service wear. There are several shallow dents on the left side of the stock near the buttplate; the balance of the stock, particularly the right side is in very good condition. This is a solid example of the unique Springfield Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine. The Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine is a key piece in any collection of U.S. martial arms.

This is an exceptional example of a U.S. Model 1836 flintlock pistol that was manufactured by Asa Waters of Millbury, Massachusetts, in 1837. The pistol barrel, back strap, buttcap, trigger guard and side plate-barrel band are finished "National Armory Bright". The hammer, frizzen and lock plate have a muted, casehardened finish and the screws are niter blue. The walnut stock is oil-finished. The pistol has the distinctive iron barrel band with strap extension that forms the side plate and swivel-mounted button head, ramrod. The barrel has a brass front sight blade and an oval rear sight is mounted on the barrel tang. The lock plate is flat beveled edges in front of the hammer and rounded behind it. The lock has a reinforced hammer and detachable fenced brass pan. The butt cap is an integral part of the back strap. The lock plate is stamped with an Eagle's Head motif above "A. WATERS/MILLBURY.MS/1837" in three lines. "U.S./JA/P" property, inspection and proof marks are stamped on the left side of the barrel perpendicular to the axis of the bore. Single letter "S" and "F" Ordnance sub-inspection marks are stamped on the side plate, left barrel flat, and trigger guard finial. Ordnance sub-inspection and final inspection marks consisting of three script initials with oval borders are stamped on the left stock flat. The Model 1836 pistol is historically significant as the last U.S. martial pistol produced with the flintlock ignition system. It is generally considered to be the best made, most attractive and best performing U.S. martial flintlock pistol. The Model 1836 pistol was the primary handgun used by the U.S. 1st and 2nd Dragoon regiments during the Mexican War. It remained in service with militia units until the Civil War. BBL: 8 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The polished barrel and iron furniture have the "National Armory Bright" finish that was on the pistol when new. Traces of pitting are visible around the flash hole, on the right barrel flat and on the left side of the frizzen. The proof and inspection marks on the barrel and the sub-inspection marks on other components are sharp. The lock, hammer and frizzen retain more than 90% of the original casehardened finish. The surfaces of the lock and hammer are smooth and the lock plate markings are sharp. The brass flash pan has an attractive patina. The hammer, side plate and tang screws have most of the fiery niter blue finish intact. The stock is in excellent condition and retains nearly all of the original finish. The edges of the barrel channel, lock flat and side plate flat are sharp. The Ordnance inspection marks on the left stock flat are sharp. This is an outstanding example of an important U.S. flintlock martial pistol that would be difficult to improve upon.

This U.S. Model 1836 flintlock pistol was manufactured in 1842 by Robert Johnson of Middletown, Connecticut. The barrel and iron furniture are finished "National Armory Bright". The lock has a casehardened finish and niter blue frizzen spring. The black walnut stock has an oil finish.

JOHNSON/MIDDN CONN/1842" is stamped in four lines on the lock plate between the hammer and frizzen spring. The left side of the barrel is stamped with the proof and inspection marks "US/JH/P". A small "B" sub-inspection mark is stamped on the left barrel flat, trigger guard and underside of the flash pan. The left stock flat is stamped with the script initials of the Ordnance sub-inspector, "JCB" and the Ordnance final inspector "WAT" with oval borders. The Model 1836 pistol was the last U.S. flintlock pistol. It is considered by many experts to be the best made, most attractive and best designed of all U.S. military flintlock handguns. The Model 1836 pistol was the primary handgun issued to the U.S. Dragoons and Mounted Rifles during the Mexican War. Most Model 1836 pistols were subsequently converted to percussion. BBL: 8 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 cal. Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The pistol is completely original and is in original flintlock configuration. The barrel, buttcap, back strap and iron furniture have a fine untouched, attractive patina. There is light pitting on the barrel at the muzzle and the top and sides adjacent to the flash hole. The side plate strap, back strap and trigger guard have scattered pitting. The lock plate, hammer and frizzen are free from pitting and the casehardened finish has aged to a smooth deep brown patina. The lock plate and barrel markings are sharp. The stock is in excellent condition with extremely sharp edges, nearly mint final inspection and sub-inspection marks and minimal handling and storage wear. This is a fine looking, example of the last model of U.S. martial flintlock pistol made for the military!

Also known as the Virginia-Richmond Flintlock Pistol, these pistols were manufactured circa 1812 to 1815 with a total production of only approximately 4,252. Styled directly after the Harpers Ferry Model 1805 pistol, it features a 10 inch round, 54 caliber barrel with a brass blade front sight, solid under rib and iron swivel ram rod with a button style head. It has the early designed small double yoke hammer, serrated barrel wedge, wide barrel band and rifled barrel. The "IA" from Virginia is visible on the lock ahead of the hammer and "RICHMOND" in a downward arch over "1812" is marked behind the hammer. The barrel is correctly unmarked. The pistol is mounted with a smooth walnut half stock with brass mountings. These pistols are considered secondary Confederate arms. BBL: 10 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Good as refurbished. The pistol has been wire brushed blue finish applied to the barrel and lock, with overall scattered minor pitting. The brass remains, for the most part, bright. The reoiled stock is good. The grip cap appears to be a period replacement that is ill-fitting and there is a minor crack on each side at the end of the cap extension, otherwise there are some scattered minor dents and scratches. As noted above the lock marking is partially visible, otherwise the markings are readable. The action is fine. A solid example of a rare Virginia Manufactory 2nd Model flintlock pistol that has managed to survive for 200 years.

The New York militia purchased this pistol from the English Depot in New York in 1805 for the Dutchess County Militia then commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Commandant Barnabas Carver. This pistol is marked "DC" for Dutchess County Militia and New York Carver's 61st Regiment. "DC" is stamped on the left stock flat and "M/N.Y.C./61" is marked on the trigger guard.

Oval cartouches containing the script initials of the Ordnance Sub-Inspector and Final Inspector are stamped on the left stock flat. Single letter "F" and "D" Ordnance Sub-inspection marks are stamped on most components. The Model 1836 flintlock pistol was the primary handgun used by the U.S. Dragoons and Mounted Rifles during the Mexican War. It was the last U.S. martial flintlock pistol and is generally considered to be the best made, best performing and most attractive of all U.S. military flintlock handguns. A high percentage of the existing Model 1836 pistols were converted to percussion after the Mexican War and many of these pistols were still in service at the beginning of the Civil War. BBL: 8 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 cal. Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The pistol appears to having never been cleaned and remains in the original flintlock configuration. The National Armory Bright finish on the barrel and iron furniture has aged to a smooth and very attractive plum brown patina. The casehardened finish on the hammer, frizzen and lock plate has aged to a smooth deep brown patina. All of the surfaces on the barrel, lock and furniture are smooth and free from pitting. The barrel and lock markings and sub-inspection marks are sharp. The stock is in excellent condition and retains nearly all of the original oil finish. The edges surrounding the lock plate and barrel channel are very sharp and show minimal handling and storage wear. The Ordnance Sub-inspection and final inspection marks on the left stock flat are extremely sharp. This pistol is a fine example of an Asa Waters Model 1836 Flintlock pistol in the present untouched condition.

Model 1836 Hall breech loading carbine that was manufactured by U.S. Armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, between 1837 and 1840. 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 inch sliding angular bayonet located in a v-shaped groove below the smooth bore barrel. Model 1836 carbines utilized some components from the Hall Model 1819 Flintlock rifles including the breechblock 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 thru 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 has a casehardened finish, the bayonet is bright; the barrel, buttplate and furniture have a brown lacquer finish. The stock is oil-finished black walnut. The top of the breechblock is stamped "J. H. HALL/H. FERRY/US/1834" in four lines ahead of the hammer. There are no other markings on the carbine. BBL: 23 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 64 percussion Finish: brown Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The carbine retains 75% plus of the original brown lacquer finish. Most of the lacquer finish remains on the barrel and sides of the receiver. The barrel bands, trigger guard and buttplate have about 50% of the original finish. The case colors of the breechblock have a dark brown patina. There is some scattered flash pitting on the bolster and fence in the vicinity of the percussion nipple. The bayonet has a silver-gray patina. The breechblock markings are sharp. The stock is fine overall and shows mostly storage wear. There are a number of moderately deep and very old scratches on the left side of the stock near the buttplate and several dents on the left side of the forearm above and below the lower barrel band. All of these marks are very old and probably date from the period of service. The balance of the stock is in very good condition and shows minimal handling wear. This is a fine example of a scarce and early Hall Model 1836 carbine.

This is a rare example of a U.S. Springfield Model 1847 Sappers Musketoon, a.k.a "Sappers and Miners", manufactured in 1855. In 1855 a total of 80 Sappers and Miners were made with a total of 830 made over a 9 year period. (Note that of the 830 produced 228 were altered to Model 1847 Artillery configuration, making this original musketoon very rare.) The lock plate is marked with the "eagle" motif over "US" ahead of the hammer "SPRING/FIELD/1855" stamped behind the hammer. The left side of the barrel has "V/P/eagle head" markings at the breech. Front barrel band has a brass blade sight and a lug for a saber type bayonet mounted on the right side with the bayonet guide affixed to the right side of the barrel absent. (The outline of where it was mounted is visible). The buttplate tang is marked "US". Two piece trigger guard, trumpet head iron ram rod and mounted with a full walnut straight grip stock with visible oval cartouche on the left flat. BBL: 26 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 69 Perc Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Good.

The remaining metal surfaces have a mottled gray patina with some minor pitting on the lock and hammer. The stock is very good with a small minor crack ahead of the upper left side plate screw and some overall scattered minor dents and scratches. Markings are clear. The action is excellent.

This is an example of a Jenks "Mule Ear'' carbine that was manufactured by N.P. Ames of Springfield, Massachusetts, for the U.S. Navy in 1846. Ames manufactured 4,250 of these distinctive, side-hammer, breech loading carbines between 1843 and 1846. This carbine has the rifled barrel and oval loading aperture found on later production carbines. The carbine has a brown barrel, casehardened lock plate, breechblock and tang and brass barrel bands, trigger guard and buttplate. The stock is black walnut with an oil finish. The front sight is an integral part of the upper barrel band. A sling ring is mounted on the lower tang behind the trigger guard. The carbine has no provision for a ramrod. "W.JENKS" is stamped in small letters on the top of the barrel parallel to the bore. "USN/RC/P/1846" is stamped immediately below the Jenk's marking, in four lines perpendicular to the bore. "N.P. AMES/SPRINGFIELD/MASS" is stamped in three lines on the center of the lock plate and "Wm JENKS" is stamped on the rear of the lock plate. BBL: 24 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 percussion Finish: brown Grips: Serial Number: 429 Condition: Fine as partially refinished. The carbine retains 80% of the original brown finish on the barrel. Wear is limited to some minor handling marks on the barrel. There is no flash pitting on the lock plate, hammer and percussion nipple and the carbine appears to be un-fired. The brass furniture has an attractive aged patina. The markings on the barrel and lock plate are crisp. The lightly sanded refinished stock is very good. This is a solid representative example of a U.S. Navy, Jenks "Mule Ear" carbine manufactured by N.P. Ames.

This is an excellent example of a cased Maynard single shot percussion longarm with two rifle barrels, one shotgun barrel, and accessories. Included with the longarm is a 3 inch x 3 1/2 inch target signed with the initials "AL" and marked in pencil "10 Rds/ /20 in 4/10". It has been reported that the "AL" initials are that of Abraham Lincoln and that the 16th President of the United States fired this longarm. It is known that during the Civil War President Lincoln encouraged weapons development and even test fired longarms himself on an open area south of the White House. Lincoln promoted a wide range of military technologies which included rifles, body armor, gunpowder, shells, field artillery, and ironclad naval warships. His interest in military technology proved vital to the Union's weapons development efforts. For instance, he was instrumental in the development of the mortar boat which helped clear the Mississippi River and backed the development of John Ericsson's plan for turreted ironclad warships which helped the Union maintain its dominance at sea. Lincoln is known to have watched naval gun testing at the navy yard on the Anacostia River and watched the testing of the Parrott rifled artillery at Cold Spring Armory. At times, Lincoln would even function as chief of ordnance, testing new weapons himself. Lincoln test fired the "coffee-mill gun", an early hand-cranked machine gun and practiced his long distance skills with sharpshooters at a Union camp which resulted in Lincoln ordering breech loaders for the regiment. Perhaps Lincoln's most famous testing of military hardware came on August 18, 1863 when he personally test fired the Spencer seven shot rifle on the White House lawn at a distance of forty yards. The President made seven consecutive shots. Prior to firing the rifle, Lincoln was skeptical of the effectiveness and reliability of the Spencer. The objective of the demonstration was the reversal of Lincoln's negative opinion concerning the rifle. Although the demonstration resulted in good will towards the Spencer Company, there is no historical evidence to suggest that the demonstration promoted the purchase of the rifle. Presidential and Civil War historians have noted that it was common for inventors of rifles, artillery, and other weapons to invite President Lincoln to witness a trial or to send him a specimen. As historian Robert V. Bruce noted, "Consider how easily an assassin reckless of his own life might have entered Lincoln's office with a repeating rifle or a bomb. Many men did just that, although none, luckily, with murder in their hearts. 'On my arrival to the White House,' one inventor remarked matter-of-factly, 'I was ushered immediately into the reception room, with my repeating rifle in my hand and there I found the President alone.' The well established historical record confirming Lincoln's interest in firearms make it plausible that this Maynard was fired by the 16th President of the United States. This Maynard is pictured in Merrill Lindsay's book ONE HUNDRED GREAT GUNS (page 135). The photograph shows the rifle in its case with three barrels, accessories, and the "AL" marked target, all of which are included in this lot. Lindsay identifies this longarm as "Dr. Edward Maynard's own cap-lock gun". Built in 1845 to support his patent application". The Maynard primer door on this longarm is marked "MAYNARD'S PATENT/SEP. 22, 1845". It is equipped with a tang peep sight. The rifle is mounted on a straight grip walnut stock with a crescent buttplate and iron patch box. The patch box is marked "MAYNARD PATENTEE/MAY 27, 1851/JUNE 17, 1856". The inside of the patch box has a series of patent dates printed on a paper insert. The patent marking is as follows "MAYNARD,/Patentee,/MAY 27, 1851, JUNE 17, 1856,/JAN. 11, 1859,/OCT'R 4, 1859,/OCT'R 4, 1859,/DEC'R 6, 1859." As stated, this Maynard longarm comes with three part octagon barrels. The first barrel is 20 inches long and chambered for 50 percussion caliber with a combination Beach front sight and two leaf rear sight with the leafs marked "10" and "20". The underside of the barrel at the breech is marked with the number "10908" and the letter "J". The second barrel is 20 inches long and chambered for 40 percussion caliber with a combination Beach front sight and two leaf rear sight with leafs marks "10" and "20". The underside of the barrel at the breech is marked with the number "3" and the letter "J". The third barrel is a 20 gauge shotgun barrel which is 26 inches long and has a bead front sight. All barrels are blue with the 40 caliber barrel having a blue lever and the shotgun and 50 caliber barrels having a casehardened lever.

This Historic Sharps Model 1859 rifle manufactured in March-April 1862. This rifle is one of the 2000 Sharps Model 1859 rifles ordered specifically for issue to the 1st and 2nd U.S. Sharpshooter (U.S.S.) regiments organized and commanded by Colonel Hiram Berdan. The rifle has the distinctive double-set triggers that Berdan specified for the Sharps rifles issued to the USS. In addition to the double-set triggers, the rifle has a front sight block for an angular socket bayonet and folding leaf rear sight with 800 yard center notch. Both of these features are characteristic of USS Sharps rifles. The rifle serial number, "57544", is in the primary serial number range (54390-57574) established by author and historian Wiley Sword for USS Sharps rifles. Sharps rifles serial number 57471 and 57574 are documented as having been issued to Company G, 1st USS in 1862. In addition to the distinctive USS features, the rifle is fitted with the standard Sharps pellet primer and a casehardened iron patch box. The black walnut stock and forearm have an oil finish. The rifle is complete with a scarce Civil War russet leather sling. The barrel is roll-stamped: "SHARPS RIFLE/MANUFG. CO. /HARTFORD CONN." in three lines ahead of the rear sight and "NEW MODEL 1859" behind it. The patent marking: "C. SHARPS' PAT/SEPT. 12th 1849" is roll-stamped in two lines on the left side of the receiver. The lock plate is roll-stamped: "C.SHARPS' PAT./OCT.5th 1852" behind the hammer and the upper right side of the receiver is roll-stamped: "R.S. LAWRENCE PAT/APRIL 12th 1859". The serial number: "57554" is stamped on the upper receiver tang and on the underside of the barrel beneath the forearm. The tiny "OWA" initials of Ordnance Sub-Inspector Orville W. Ainsworth are stamped on the left barrel flat above the stock line. Ainsworth was the primary Sub-Inspector for the USS Sharps rifle contract; his initials are stamped on most USS rifle barrels and are a key identification point for genuine USS Model 1859 Sharps rifles. The script "JT" final inspection mark of John Taylor, Chief Inspector for the USS 2,000 rifle contract, is not visible on the left side of the stock wrist. The "JT" final inspection mark is rarely present on USS Sharps rifles due to handling wear. An oval German Silver plate engraved with three script initials is fastened by two screws to the left side of the stock. The initials are engraved with punch marks and appear to be "GDV". Research of the muster rolls of the 1st and 2nd USS regiments could identify the initials. The 1st and 2nd USS regiments were recruited by Hiram Berdan, a champion target shooter, from selected Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont marksmen. Berdan intended the USS to serve as an elite light infantry unit. Equipped with Sharps rifles and outfitted with distinctive green uniforms with black buttons patterned on the of the uniforms worn by the British Rifle Brigade, the USS became some of the most celebrated troops in the Army of the Potomac. The 1st and 2nd USS first saw action in June 1862 and fought in most of the battles of the Army of the Potomac until the surviving three-year volunteers were mustered out in the fall of 1864. The USS regiments distinguished themselves during the battle of Gettysburg. The 1st and 2nd USS regiments claimed to have inflicted more Confederate casualties than any other units in the Civil War. Genuine USS Sharps rifles are scarce; author Wiley Sword identified 47 surviving USS Sharps rifles by serial number in his 1988 book "SHARPSHOOTER". BBL: 30 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 percussion Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 57554 Condition: Very good plus. The rifle is completely original and has all of the recognized characteristics of the 2,000 special order USS Sharps Model 1859 rifles. The rifle shows wear typical of a combat used weapon but no abuse. The barrel was polished bright during the original period of service and has a deep brown age patina above the stock line and bright finish below the forearm and under the barrel bands (many rifles and muskets with blued barrels were polished bright by troops in the field during the Civil War). There is some fine pitting on the markings on the top of the barrel and on the rear sight but most of the surfaces are smooth. The case colors on the receiver, lever, buttplate and patch box have faded to a mottled gray-brown. The buttplate has some minor pitting and surface corrosion but the other surfaces are smooth. The receiver markings are crisp and clear. The bore is bright and has been well cared for. The pellet primer is intact. The set trigger functions properly. The stock and forearm both are in very good condition with moderate handling wear and no damage or repairs. The plate on the left side of the stock is period and contemporary with the rifle. This is a fine example of a scarce USS Sharps New Model 1859 rifle.

Manufactured circa 1862, only 709 rifles were made in this pattern and the entire production was purchased by the Navy. The top of the receiver is marked "SPENCER REPEATING/RIFLE CO. BOSTON MASS/PAT'D MARCH 6, 1860" and the serial number is marked on the top rear of the receiver. Brass blade front and folding ladder rear sight graduated to 800 yards. The distinctive feature of this variation of Spencer Rifle is that the barrel is fitted with a large bayonet lug on the underside rear of the muzzle for a saber bayonet. The receiver and lever were casehardened, while the remaining surfaces are blue. Mounted with a full length forearm secured by three barrel bands with a steel end cap and sling swivel on the middle band, and straight grip stock with sling swivel and steel buttplate, These rifles represented the first Spencer of any type purchased by the U.S. Government. BBL: 30 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 189 Condition: Fine. The barrel has a dark patina with strong original blue finish in protected areas, and some minor pitting, (mainly at the breech end). The receiver has 30% original case colors with the balance a smooth dark and brown mottled patina. The lock has a dark patina with minor pitting and the hammer and lever have a smooth dark patina. The wood is fine with some scattered overall minor dents, dings and scratches associated with a firearm of this age, The markings are clear. The action is excellent.

Very few sporting rifles were manufactured by Spencer and educated estimates put total production well under a few thousand. The action first went into production in 1860 and as soon as the Civil War started all of the machinery and man power was devoted to turning out rifles and carbines for the Civil War (of historical note, sporting rifles manufactured during the Civil War were for presentation, the most famous being Gideon Welles). The matching serial number is marked on the rear upper left side of the frame and on the bottom of the barrel under the forearm. "PT" is also stamped on the bottom of the barrel under the forearm. Marked "SPENCER REPEATING/RIFLE CO. BOSTON MASS./PAT'D MARCH 6, 1860." on top of the receiver. The assembly number "109" is stamped on various parts including the lever, barrel, forearm and breechblock. Blade front sight, folding leaf rear sight and tang mounted peep sight absent of graduation markings. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with pewter forend secured by two screws and straight grip stock with Spencer's steel buttplate. BBL: 26 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 46 RF Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 287 Condition: Excellent. The barrel retains 90% original blue finish with some thinning to a smooth plum patina. The receiver retains 85% plus vivid original case colors with some scattered surface blemishes. The wood is also very fine with almost all of the original varnish remaining and showing some minor dents and scratches. The markings are crisp. The action is excellent. A truly outstanding Spencer Sporting rifle!

This Burnside Carbine was manufactured by the Burnside Rifle Co., of Providence, Rhode Island, late in the Civil War. The carbine has the distinctive guide screw in the right side of the frame that identifies it as a 5th Model carbine. The barrel has a military blue finish and the breechblock, loading lever and receiver tang are bright niter blue. The receiver, hammer, and buttplate have a color casehardened finish. The stock and forearm are oil-finished black walnut. The barrel is fitted with a two-leaf folding rear sight. A bright-finished sling bar and ring are mounted on the left side of the receiver. "BURNSIDE PATENT/MODEL OF 1864" is roll-stamped in two lines on the top of the receiver and "BURNSIDE RIFLE Co./PROVIDENCE RI." is roll-stamped on the right side plate. The top of the barrel is stamped "CAST STEEL 1864" in small letters ahead of the rear sight. The serial number, "18162" is located on the top of the receiver and breechblock. The left side of the stock wrist is stamped with two script three- initial Ordnance inspection marks with rectangular borders. The Ordnance sub-inspection mark "N.S.P." is stamped on the comb of the stock. Single letter Sub-Inspection marks are stamped on most major components. The Burnside breech-loading carbine was one of the most important and widely issued Civil War Federal cavalry carbines. BBL: 21 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 percussion Finish: blue/case-hardened Grips: Serial Number: 18162 Condition: Very fine. The carbine retains nearly 90% plus of the original military blue, niter blue and case hardened finish. The carbine appears to be un-fired and shows only storage wear. The case colors on the receiver hammer and breech lever are vivid. The case colors on the buttplate have faded slightly. The left side and top of the barrel has some scattered patches of surface rust but no visible pitting. There is some light surface rust on the lower receiver tang and some minor scratches on the bottom of the trigger guard. The bore is perfect. The barrel and receiver markings are crisp. The stock and forearm are in very fine condition with all of the original oil finish and raised, un-handled grain. The Ordnance inspection stamps on the left side of the stock wrist are very crisp and clear. The stock and forearm have a number of minor storage scratches and dents. This is a very fine example of a Civil War Burnside Breech-Loading carbine.

Born in New York and raised in Wisconsin, William Strong had just passed the bar exam when he heard of the incident at Fort Sumter and the start of the Civil War. Joining the fight as soon as possible, Strong raised F Company of the Second Wisconsin Infantry, and served as it's Captain during the Battle of Blackburn's Ford and First Bull Run. Following those battles, he was promoted to Major in the 12th Wisconsin, a part of the Army of the Tennessee, where he would spend the remainder of his war service, which included the honor of raising the Union Flag over the battlements of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, the climax of the Vicksburg Campaign and a critical turning point in the war. Leaving the service as a Brevet Brigadier General, Strong established his practice in Chicago, where he also spent a term as Commander of the Loyal Legion. This lot consists of a collection of photo cards of the General, depicting him at the ages of 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 35 and 39, along with a pair of undated photos. Each card is set into a paper frame, which have notes of his then-current rank and assignments. A few cards have visible backs, with the markings of M.M Melander & Bro of East Ohio Street, Chicago. Also included are a pair of protective covers, with raised floral patterns on the leather exteriors BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Very good. Some scuffs and tears are present on the frames, while the pictures themselves are excellent. The covers show minor wear, concentrated on the high edges.

Percussion breech-loading pistol-rifle manufactured by C. Sharps & Co., of Philadelphia circa 1857-1860. Sharps manufactured approximately 600 of these standard model Pistol-Rifles using the same action as the Sharps Breech-Loading Single Shot Pistol. The pistol-rifle has a round, brown-finished barrel with dovetail mounted nickel-silver front sight blade, tube rear sight and a knurled ring at the muzzle like the Sharps large frame breech-loading pistols. The falling block action is designed for the "mule-ear" cartridge and is fitted with a pellet priming device. The receiver lever and hammer have a casehardened finish. The rifle has a walnut forearm with iron tip and pistol grip walnut stock with iron pistol grip cap, patch box and buttplate. The cap box has a high polish blue finish. The stock and forearm have a varnished high polish "piano" finish. What appears to be the serial number, "11" is stamped on the inside of the breech lever. "C. SHARPS/PATENT/18-52" is stamped on the left side of the receiver below the hammer. "C.SHARPS & CO'S/RIFLE WORKS/PHILA. PA" is roll-stamped in three lines on the left side of the receiver. The rifle is fitted with a hinged wooden case lined with red felt. The case has five compartments with three of the compartments having wooden lids with bone handles. The case contains a steel .36 caliber single shot pistol bullet mold serial numbered "771", an empty rectangular tin Sharps primer box with a paper label that reads "SHARPS/PATENT PELLETS/OR PRIMERS/Patented June 28. 1853" and a glass container of wax. In addition to the rifle accessories the case contains a patent leather military belt with non-regulation two-piece gold plated Eagle and Shield/Wreath buckle, a British style patent leather primer pouch and a rectangular patent leather Sharps cartridge box containing a cartridge tin with wooden blocks for eighteen loose cartridges and space in the lower portion of the tin for cartridge packets. The belt, cap pouch and cartridge box all fit in compartments within the wooden case. Produced in very limited numbers. Sharps Pistol-Rifles are scarce, unusual, and highly prized by advanced Sharps collectors. The pistol-rifle is accompanied by the original "Certificate of Recognition", (certificate number 9), Annual Meetings Exhibit Weapons Award from the NRA's 89th Annual Meeting held on March 20, 1960 in Washington D.C. The certificate is one of a maximum of ten awarded each year to weapons of outstanding historical value, beauty, or rarity as selected from displays of the NRA's Affiliated Gun Collector Organizations. BBL: 28 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 36 percussion Finish: brown/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 11 Condition: Very fine. The Pistol-Rifle retains 80% plus of the brown finish on the barrel. There is some scattered pitting on the top and right side of the barrel near the muzzle. The case colors on the receiver and lever have faded to a smooth silver-gray patina. The percussion nipple and breechblock have no flash pitting. The receiver markings are crisp. The buttcap has a dark patina. The patch box retains 85% of the original bright blue finish with traces of surface rust. The buttplate has light-moderate pitting and with a dark brown patina. The excellent stock and forearm retain at least 90% of the high polish "piano" finish with scattered minor handling marks. The case is in fair condition. The exterior is heavily scratched and the velvet interior is faded and torn. The bullet mold is in good condition. The primer tin is in fair condition. The paper label is torn and discolored but legible. The belt, cap pouch and cartridge box are in good-to very good condition and appear to be un-used with only storage wear. This is a rare award winning and unique example of a cased Standard Model Sharps Pistol-Rifle with shooting accessories and military belt, cap pouch and cartridge box.

This Sharps New Model 1859 rifle was manufactured in March-April 1862 for issue to the 1st and 2nd U.S. Sharpshooter (USS) regiments. Raised by champion shooter Col. Hiram Berdan, the two USS regiments were composed of selected marksmen from Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont. The USS regiments were issued distinctive green uniforms with black buttons that were similar to those worn by the famous British Rifle Brigade. Berdan insisted that his regiments be equipped with Sharps rifles with special order double-set triggers, rear sights graduated to 900 yards and angular, socket bayonets. This rifle is one of the 2,000 special-order, Sharps Model 1859 rifles manufactured for issue to the 1st and 2nd USS in May 1862. The rifle has the distinctive combination of double-set triggers, a front sight block for an angular socket bayonet and folding leaf rear sight with 900 yard center notch found only USS Model 1859 Sharps rifles. The rifle serial number, "56535", falls within the primary serial number range (54,390-57,574) for USS Sharps rifles established by author and historian Wiley Sword in his book "SHARPSHOOTER". The rifle has the standard Sharps pellet primer, casehardened iron patch box and nicely figured oil-finished black walnut stock and forearm. The barrel is roll-stamped "SHARPS RIFLE/MANUFG. CO./HARTFORD CONN." in three lines ahead of the rear sight and "NEW MODEL 1859" behind it. The patent marking "C. SHARPS' PAT/SEPT. 12th 1849" is roll-stamped in two lines on the left side of the receiver. The lock plate is roll-stamped "C.SHARPS' PAT./OCT.5th 1852" behind the hammer and the upper right side of the receiver is roll-stamped "R.S. LAWRENCE PAT/APRIL 12th 1859". The serial number "53535" is stamped on the upper receiver tang and on the underside of the barrel beneath the forearm. The tiny "OWA" initials of Ordnance Sub-Inspector Orville W. Ainsworth are stamped on the left barrel flat above the stock line. Ainsworth was the primary Sub-Inspector for the USS Sharps rifle contract; his initials are stamped on most USS rifle barrels and are a key identification point for genuine USS Model 1859 Sharps rifles. The Sub-Inspector initials "AWM" are stamped on the bottom of the forearm. There is no Ordnance final inspection mark on the left side of the stock wrist. The 1st and 2nd USS regiments were the elite light infantry of the Army of the Potomac. Equipped with special Sharps rifles and outfitted with distinctive uniforms, the USS were some of the best known and most celebrated regiments in the Army of the Potomac. The 1st and 2nd USS first saw action at Yorktown, Virginia in June 1862 and went on to fight in most of the battles of the Army of the Potomac until the survivors were mustered out of service in late 1864 at the end of their three-year enlistment. Of the 2,570 officers and enlisted men who served in the 1st and 2nd USS between 1861 and 1864, 278 were killed in action, 254 died of disease and 376 were wounded. The 1st and 2nd USS regiments claimed to have inflicted more Confederate casualties than any other units in the Federal army. Genuine USS Sharps rifles are scarce; author Wiley Sword identified 47 surviving USS Sharps rifles by serial number in the 1988 edition of "SHARPSHOOTER". BBL: 30 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 percussion Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 56535 Condition: Very good plus. The rifle is in exceptional condition and is almost certainly one of the finest USS Model 1859 Sharps rifles extant. Hints of blue finish remain on the barrel with the balance having aged to an even and very attractive plum brown patina. The surfaces of the barrel are smooth; the barrel markings and "OWA" Sub-Inspection mark are crisp. The rear sight has the same deep brown patina and crisp markings as the barrel. The case hardened barrel bands have a dark brown patina. The receiver, hammer, lever and buttplate have muted case colors that have aged to a gray-brown patina. Traces of the original niter blue finish are visible on the breechblock and pellet primer. There is minimal flash pitting on the percussion nipple, hammer or breechblock. The serial number and receiver markings are crisp. The iron patch box retains about 85% of the original case colors. The stock and forearm both are in fine condition and with minor scattered dings and scratches. Most of the original raised grain is present on the forearm and the Sub-Inspection mark is very crisp. The set-triggers function fine. This is an outstanding example of a scarce and very desirable Berdan Sharps Model 1859 rifle. It would be difficult to find a field used USS Sharps rifle in better condition than this example.

This unissued example of a Colt Special Model 1861 Rifle-Musket was manufactured in 1863. Colt manufactured at least 75,000 of these muskets under Ordnance Department contracts during the Civil War. The barrel, lock and iron furniture are finished "National Armory Bright". The three-leaf rear sight is blued and the trigger is casehardened. The black walnut stock has an oil finish. The Colt Special Model 1861 Rifle-Musket had a distinctive hammer, nickel bolster that lacked a clean-out screw, screw fastened barrel bands and a straight shank tulip head ramrod. Many of these features were incorporated by Springfield Armory in the Model 1863 Type I and Model 1863 Type II rifle-muskets. The lock plate is dated "1863" behind the hammer and the top of the barrel is dated "1863" just ahead of the tang. "U.S./COLT'S PT F.A. MFG CO/HARTFORD CT" is roll-stamped on the lock plate in front of the hammer. The face of the nipple bolster is stamped with the Spread Eagle/Shield motif. The upper left barrel flat is stamped with Ordnance "V/P/Eagle Head" proof and inspection marks. An Ordnance "M" Sub-Inspection mark and "STEEL" are stamped on the left side of the barrel just above the stock line. Two bordered script Ordnance inspection marks are stamped on the left stock flat. "U.S." is stamped on the heel of the buttplate. The rifle-musket is complete with a wooden barrel plug, russet leather sling and Model 1855 socket bayonet. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: Bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The musket appears to be un-issued and retains the untouched original National Armory Bright finish. There is scattered age discoloration and some shallow pitting along the top of the barrel. Nearly all of the blue finish is present on the rear sight. The trigger has nearly all of the casehardened finish. There is no flash pitting on the percussion nipple, bolster and adjacent areas of the barrel lock plate and hammer. All of the markings on the barrel, lock plate and stock are extremely sharp. The stock is in excellent condition with crisp edges and un-handled, "feathered", raised grain. Wear is limited to scattered and very minor storage marks. The bayonet is in good overall condition with light pitting on the socket and spots of age discoloration on the blade. The russet leather sling is in excellent condition. This is an excellent unissued example of an important Colt longarm and key Federal Civil War percussion rifle-musket.

Blade is 30 1/2 inches long, with etched decoration on both sides and the Ames scroll logo on the left ricasso. The hilt is gilt finished, with cut-through floral designs, and a rayskin grip. Blue steel scabbard, with raised floral designs on the gilt finished suspension bands. Has the N.P. Ames name and address stamped on the upper suspension band. An inscription on the top band reads "L. Sullivant/to/Col. James A. Wilcox/113th O.V.I." Research identifies L. Sullivant as Major Lyne Starling Sullivant, a commander in the 113th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was organized by Colonel Wilcox in 1863. Enlisting for a 3-year term, the 113th spent most of the Civil War as part of the Department of the Cumberland, participating the Tullahoma, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Atlanta Campaigns, Sherman's March to the Sea, and finally participating in the Grand Review of the Armies before being mustered out on 6 July 1865. The 113th Ohio Volunteer Infantry saw extensive combat and had 9 officers and no enlisted men killed in action while 1 officer and 149 enlisted men died of disease. BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Fine. The blade has a dark patina with well defined etching, and 30% of the original gilt finish on the hilt.

This is an example of a U.S. Henry rifle that was manufactured by the New Haven Arms Co., in April 1865. This rifle was probably one of 127 Henry rifles in the 8,400-9,400 serial number range that were shipped to the Ordnance Department by the New Haven Arms Co., on May 16, 1865. Most of these rifles, along with 500 Henry rifles in the 7,000-8,000 serial number range, were issued to Companies B, C, I, H and K the 3rd U.S. Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment (3rd VVI). Henry Rifle serial number 8,617 is listed as one of the rifles issued to the 3rd VVI. The Army recruited four regiments of Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the winter of 1864-1865 from soldiers who completed their initial enlistments. The VVI regiments were intended to serve as an elite infantry corps under the command of General Winfield Scott Hancock and were armed with Henry, Sharps and Spencer rifles. As an incentive, soldiers who re-enlisted in the VVI regiments were paid a substantial bounty and allowed to keep their rifles on discharge. The Civil War ended before the VVI regiments saw combat. Many of the members of the VVI regiments took the Henry, Sharps and Spencer rifles they had been issued home when they were discharged. The 627 Henry rifles purchased to arm the 3rd VVI were marked with a punch-mark behind the serial number on the barrel and a small three-initial Ordnance inspection mark on the left side of the stock wrist adjacent to the receiver. The more commonly encountered Ordnance Department "C.G.C." inspection marks on the right side of the barrel and on the right stock wrist of Henry rifles in the 3,000-4,000 serial number range are found on the 800 Henry rifles purchased for issue to the 1st D.C. Cavalry on December 30, 1863. This rifle has the distinctive Henry brass receiver and butt plate with blued barrel and casehardened hammer, lever and trigger. The walnut stock has an oil finish. The barrel has the later style, square back, nickel silver, front sight and late style, dove-tail mounted, folding leaf rear sight with 900 yard center notch and elevator bar retaining screw. The integral, 15-shot, magazine has the late pattern, large diameter, brass follower. The receiver is the late pattern which lacks the alternative rear sight dove-tail and has a loading lever latch on the lower tang. The brass buttplate is the late pattern with sharply pointed heel. The left side of the stock is fitted with a factory sling swivel. A loop for a sling hook is mounted on the left side of the barrel. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line, legend: "HENRY'S PATENT. OCT. 16. 1860/MANUFACT'D BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS CO NEWHAVEN CT." ahead of the rear sight. The barrel marking is the second pattern, introduced about serial number 4,000, that utilizes all Roman style (serifed) letters. The serial number "8618" and a punch mark are stamped on the top of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver. A small three-initial Ordnance "A.W.B." inspection mark is stamped on the left stock wrist near the edge of the receiver. The "H" inspection mark of B. Tyler Henry is stamped on the lower receiver tang behind the lever latch. The serial number, "8618" is stamped on the left side of the lower receiver tang in the upper tang inlet of the stock and on the inside of the buttplate. All of the visible serial numbers match. The late style, cap head, buttplate and tang screws are, correctly, not serial numbered. BBL: 24 inch octagon Stock: walnut Gauge: 44 Henry RF Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 8618 Condition: Fine as partially refinished (barrel). The rifle shows minimal service wear and retains all the original components. The receiver and buttplate are in very fine condition with minimal handling wear. The side plate joints are tight and there is no indication that the side plates have ever been removed from the receiver. The brass has a very attractive patina. The hammer, lever and trigger retain most of the original casehardened finish. The stock is in very fine condition; most of the original oil finish is intact, the Ordnance inspection mark is legible and storage marks are minimal. The raised grain is an attractive "feathered" appearance with the distinctive (and highly desirable) raised bump present on left side, under the swivel. The bore is bright which is very unusual for a Henry rifle. The barrel, sling swivel, tang and buttplate screws have been refinished many years ago. The barrel legend shows signs of polishing but is completely legible. This is an attractive and solid example of a scarce, late production, U.S. contract Henry rifle.

This Sharps New Model 1863 Rifle belonged to Private Patrick Downey of the New Jersey Company I, 5th Regiment and Company G, 7th Regiment during the American Civil War. Research provided by the consignor lists Private Downey as serving three years with the New Jersey Volunteers from December 11, 1861 to December 11, 1864. Records indicate that Downey began his military service with Co. I, 5th Regiment and was later transferred to Co. G, 7th Regiment. This rifle has a diamond silver overlay on the left side of the buttstock which is engraved "PATRICK DOWNEY/CO. I./5TH REGT. N.J.V." The rifle is equipped with blade front and Lawrence patent ladder rear sights. The top of the barrel is stamped with the three line Sharp's address ahead of the rear sight and "NEW MODEL 1863" at the breech with "M.N.M." inspector initials stamped on the left side. The lock plate has the Lawrence and Sharps patent dates with the 1848 Sharps patent date on the left side of the receiver. Smooth straight grip stock with metal forend cap, three barrel bands, sling swivels, a pair of cartouches stamped on the left side of the wrist, and patch box. The 5th Regiment was organized at Camp Olden, Trenton, N.J., and mustered in August 22, 1861. The New Jersey regiment left for Washington, D.C. and was attached to Casey's Provisional Division, Army of the Potomac, to October, 1861. The regiment was then attached to the 3rd Brigade, Hooker's Division, Army of the Potomac, until March, 1862, to the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, 3rd Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, until March, 1864. and finally with the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, 2nd Army Corps, before being consolidated with the 7th New Jersey Infantry on November 6, 1864. The 5th Regiment lost 12 officers and 126 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded with another 85 enlisted men by disease. The regiment's service record included the Battle of Williamsburg, Battle of Fair Oaks or Seven Pines, Pope's Campaign in Northern Virginia, defenses of Washington, Battle of Gettysburg, Battle of Spotsylvania, and Assault on the Salient. BBL: 30 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 percussion Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: C38429 Condition: Very good. The barrel retains 60% thinned original blue finish. The remaining metal surfaces have a crisp mottled gray patina. The period varnished preserved wood is fine with crisp cartouches, some minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.

This Colt Special Model 1861 Rifle-Musket was manufactured in 1863. This musket is stamped with "N.J." on the left side of the barrel and left stock flat but lacks the usual Ordnance Department proof or final inspection markings. The New Jersey property marks and lack of Ordnance inspection marks indicate that the musket is what Colt referred to as "Second Class U.S. Rifle Muskets" which failed to pass Ordnance Department inspection. These rifle-muskets were sold by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham and other outfitters for issue to state militia during the Civil War. The rifle-musket has the distinctive hammer, bolster with no provision for clean-out screw, straight shank, tulip head ramrod and screw-fastened barrel bands which are characteristic of the Colt Special Model 1861 Rifle-Musket. Many of these features were subsequently adopted by Springfield Armory for the U.S. Model 1863 Type I and Type II Rifle Muskets. The barrel is fitted with a two-leaf folding rear sight and a block mounted front sight that serves as the lug for a socket bayonet. The barrel, lock and furniture are "National Armory Bright" and the rear sight is blued. The black walnut stock has an oil finish. The heel of the buttplate is stamped "U.S." in front of the top screw. The lock plate is dated "1862" behind the hammer and roll-stamped "U.S./COLT'S PT F.A. MFG Co/HARTFORD, CT" in three lines ahead of the hammer. The percussion nipple bolster is stamped with an Eagle and Shield motif. The top of the barrel is dated "1863" and the left barrel flat is stamped with a conjoined "VP" proof mark. The New Jersey "N.J" property mark is stamped on the left side of the barrel just above the stock line and on the center of the stock flat. "OC" is lightly stamped on the left flat behind the front lock plate screw. This marking may be an Ordnance Department condemnation mark. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The musket has the condition of a musket that has not been issued and has an attractive brown patina on the barrel, lock, rear sight and bright-finished furniture. The musket has no flash pitting on the barrel, bolster or percussion nipple. The stock is in excellent condition with sharp edges and untouched raised "feathered'" grain. All of the markings on the lock plate, barrel and stock are extremely crisp. The age tarnish and very minor storage marks on the stock show what a spectacular gun this is. The musket would easily clean but also could remain in the original, untouched condition. This is a solid, extraordinary example of a U.S. Colt Special Model 1861 Rifle-Musket.

This rifle was contracted by J.T. Hodge and A. M. Burton and manufactured at the Trenton Locomotive and Machine Co., Trenton, New Jersey in 1863 and 1864. The lock is marked "1864" behind the hammer and marked with the eagle shield motif and "U.S./TRENTON" in front of the hammer. The top of the barrel at the breech is marked "1864", the left upper flat is marked with the "V/P/eagle head" proof marks and the left flat is marked "N.J.". The rifle is equipped with the standard front sight/bayonet lug and three folding leaf rear sights and cleanout screw on the bolster. Mounted with a full stock secured by three barrel bands, iron forend cap, iron ramrod with a tulip head and swelled shank, "NJ" in an oval cartouche on the left flat, and a sling swivel mounted on the front of the trigger guard and on the middle barrel band. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 cal Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The rifle has an overall bright appearance with sharp markings. The reoiled stock is very fine with a crisp cartouche, some very scattered minor handling marks and a surface chip on the forearm (right side). Mechanically excellent.

Civil War Morse carbine manufactured by the State Military Works in Greenville, South Carolina. The State Military Works manufactured approximately 1000 of these brass-frame, breech loading carbines in 1864. The Morse carbines were manufactured by machinery captured from the U.S. Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Most of the Morse carbines were issued to the South Carolina Militia; with limited numbers of the carbines issued to other Confederate forces. This is a First Type carbine with the breech block latched by an internal iron rod. The carbine has the First Type hammer with short, knurled spur. The carbine has a 20-inch round barrel with dovetail mounted brass front sight and a fixed iron rear sight. The brass frame has an integral trigger guard. The carbine has a two-piece stock and forearm with cast brass buttplate and forearm tip. A straight shank iron ramrod with detachable brass tip is mounted under the forearm and secured by a sheet brass ramrod pipe. The serial number, "103", is stamped on the underside of the frame in front of the trigger guard. The carbine correctly has no markings other than the serial number. BBL: 20 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 50 Finish: brown Grips: Serial Number: 103 Condition: Very fine as most Morse first types are found in relic condition. The carbine shows the hard service wear that is typical of all Confederate weapons. The barrel has a silver-gray patina with patches of darker age discoloration. The barrel has scattered dents and scratches but no significant pitting. The brass receiver, breech block, buttplate and forearm cap have an attractive aged patina. The receiver, breech block and buttplate have scattered dents and scratches. The carbine is missing internal components. The spurless hammer will not stay at full cock and the trigger is missing the return spring. The stock and forearm show moderate-heavy handling and service wear with scattered dents and scratches. The lower portion of the stock has a carefully fitted fillet repair that appears to be contemporary to the period of use. This is a solid example of a rare Confederate Morse First Type carbine.

Type III Rifle Musket manufactured by the Richmond Armory, Richmond, Virginia, in 1864. Manufactured with machinery captured from the U.S. Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in 1861, the Richmond Armory Rifle Muskets conformed to the same general configuration as the U.S. Model 1855 Rifle Muskets. Richmond Armory Rifle Muskets were produced in greater numbers than all other Confederate long arms manufactured during the Civil War. The musket barrel, lock, barrel bands, and trigger guard are finished "National Armory Bright". The forend cap and buttplate are brass. The stock is oil-finished black walnut. The musket has the distinctive "Type III" low humpback lock used from 1862 to 1865. The lock plate is dated "1864" vertically behind the hammer and stamped "C.S./RICHMOND,VA" in two lines ahead of the hammer. The top of the barrel is dated "1864" and the left flat is stamped with "V/P/Eagle Head" proof and inspection marks. A "W" inspection mark is stamped on the left side of the barrel above the stock line and on the left side of the two-leaf "1858 Style" rear sight. The brass forend cap is secured by a screw. The musket has an iron straight shank ramrod with tulip head. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent for a Confederate weapon. The musket barrel has a brown patina with scattered pitting and age discoloration. The barrel bands have scattered pitting. Flash pitting on the barrel, bolster and lock plate is minimal. The surfaces of the lock plate and hammer are smooth. The lock plate and barrel markings are sharp. The stock is in good overall condition. The edges surrounding the lock plate and the left flat are rounded from handling. There is a minor crack in the left side of the stock near the buttplate tang. A very faint oval inspection mark is visible on the left stock flat. The ramrod channel will accept a U.S. Model 1863 straight shank ramrod. This is a good looking representative example of a Richmond Armory assembled Rifle Musket.

This is an exceptional example of a Springfield Model 1842 musket. These muskets were manufactured by Springfield Armory and Harpers Ferry from 1844 to 1855 and have the distinctions of being the first regulation percussion firearm manufactured in a national armory. The Model 1842 also was the first firearm manufactured at the U.S. Armories at Springfield and Harpers Ferry with completely interchangeable components and the last .69 caliber, smoothbore musket issued by the U.S. Army. The Model 1842 musket was the primary infantry weapon of both the Union and Confederate Armies during the first two years of the Civil War. It was still carried in significant quantities by both armies as late as 1863 and was not fully supplanted by the .58 caliber rifle-musket at the end of the war. This particular example is a later production. The lock is marked "SPRING/FIELD/1853" behind the hammer with the eagle/shield motif over "US" ahead of the hammer. The barrel tang is dated "1853" and the left rear of the barrel is marked with the "V/P/eagle head" proof marks. There is a small "T" sub-inspector's initial on the left rear barrel flat. The musket is arsenal bright with a casehardened trigger and mounted with a full one-piece oil finished black walnut stock. The left flat is marked with a sharp oval two letter inspection cartouche, there is a sub-inspectors initial "H" on the underside behind the trigger guard finial and the buttplate tang is marked "US". Complete with the original iron trumpet head ramrod. BBL: 42 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 69 Perc Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent plus, un-issued. The metal surfaces retain the original bright, unpolished appearance and still retain some of the original storage grease in protected areas. There is some tarnishing/discoloration on the barrel. The stock is in exceptional condition retaining virtually all of the original oil finish and retains the feathered grain in the wood, and showing a few minor pressure dents, mainly concentrated ahead of the middle barrel band. The edges of the flats are sharp, as is the inspection cartouche. The markings on the lock and barrel are extremely crisp. All of the screw heads are in perfect condition. The action is tight as new. Overall this musket is in exceptional condition for a military weapon almost 160 years old. This musket is extra ordinary and would be nearly impossible to improve on.

Model 1855 rifle-musket manufactured by the U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1858. The Harpers Ferry Armory produced a total of 12,158 Model 1855 rifle-muskets between 1857 and 1861. Nearly all of these muskets were issued and used in the Civil War. Examples in very good condition are scarce. The musket barrel, lock, trigger guard, buttplate and barrel bands are "National Armory Bright". The rear sight and percussion nipple are blued and the black walnut stock is oil-finished. The lock has the distinctive Maynard tape primer magazine utilized on the Model 1855 rifle-musket, the Model 1855 rifle and the Model 1855 pistol-carbine. The magazine door is roll-stamped with a bold eagle and shield motif. The barrel has a long range, folding leaf, rear sight graduated to 900 yards and an iron block front sight that serves as a stud for a socket bayonet. Late in 1858, the long range rear sight was replaced with the simplified, two-leaf rear sight used on most Model 1855 rifle-muskets. The stock has the early, brass, forearm tip that was replaced with a steel tip in 1859. The musket has an iron, 'tulip head' ramrod with swelled shank. The flat, iron, barrel bands are secured by band springs. The nipple bolster has the clean-out screw introduced on the Model 1855 rifle-musket, The lock plate is dated "1858" behind the hammer and roll-stamped: "U.S./HARPERS FERRY" in two lines in front of the primer magazine. The top barrel flat is dated "1858". The inverted inspection mark "W.C.K." is stamped on the right barrel flat in front of the bolster. The left barrel flat is stamped with "V/P/Eagle Head" proof and inspection marks. The right side of each barrel band is stamped with a "U" facing the muzzle. "U.S." is stamped on the heel of the buttplate in front of the buttplate screw. The left stock flat is stamped with the same "W.K.C." inspection mark that is on the right side of the barrel and Ordnance Final Inspection and sub-inspection marks. One of the Ordnance marks consists of two script initials an oval border, the other mark consists of three initials surrounded by an oval border. The Model 1855 rifle-musket was the most advanced percussion rifle-musket manufactured when it was introduced in 1855; it was the first regulation U.S. weapon to use the famous, .58 caliber, expanding base "Minie' bullet, the first U.S. musket fitted with a long range rear sight and the first U.S. rifle or musket to be fitted with the Maynard tape primer. Model 1855 rifle-muskets were in great demand at the start of the Civil War and most of the available rifle-muskets were issued to regular U.S. Army regiments or elite volunteer units with political connections. Many Model 1855 rifle-Muskets were acquired by the Confederate Army and used throughout the Civil War. Virtually all Model 1855 rifle-muskets saw Civil War service. BBL: 40 In Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The musket is completely original. The Maynard tape primer is complete and functional. The barrel appears to retain the original "National Armory Bright' polish; wear is limited to a few shallow and very minor patches of light pitting along the edge of the stock. The bolster has traces of flash pitting and dried grease. The barrel date and inspection marks on the barrel flats are crisp. The bore is excellent with strong rifling. The barrel tang has been professionally drilled and tapped and fitted with a small screw. The lock plate and iron furniture are bright; the surfaces of the lock plate, magazine door and hammer are smooth and free from pitting. The lock plate and magazine door markings are sharp. The barrel bands, trigger guard and buttplate are in the same fine condition as the lock. The stock is in very good overall condition and shows only scattered and very minor handling and storage marks. The Ordnance final inspection and sub-inspection marks on the left stock flat show some handling wear but remain clear and legible. This is an outstanding example of a scarce, 1858-production, Harpers Ferry Model 1855 percussion rifle-musket with desirable long range rear sight. It would be difficult to improve upon this important Civil War rifle-musket

This solid original Sharps Model 1859 rifle was manufactured in 1862. This three-band rifle has a brass blade front sight mounted on a block that serves as a stud for a socket bayonet, short folding leaf rear sight with 800 yard center notch, integral Sharps pellet primer on the lock and casehardened iron patch box. Sling swivels are mounted on the stock and center barrel band. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "SHARPS RIFLE/MANUFG. CO./HARTFORD CONN." in three lines ahead of the rear sight. "NEW MODEL 1859" is roll-stamped between the rear sight and the receiver. The left side of the receiver has the two-line C. Sharps 1848 patent marking. "C. SHARPS' PAT./OCT. 5th 1852." is roll stamped on the right side of the lock plate behind the hammer and "R.S.LAWRENCE' PAT/APRIL 12th 1859" is stamped below the pellet primer directly behind the hammer. The serial number "40059" is stamped on the upper receiver tang. There are no visible Ordnance inspection marks on the left stock wrist and no Ordnance Sub-inspection marks on the barrel, hammer or other components. Sharps breechloading rifles and carbines were popular and widely issued during the Civil War. About 9,000 Sharps New Model rifles were purchased by the Ordnance Department for issue to Federal forces. Other Sharps rifles were privately purchased by individual Federal soldiers. BBL: 30 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 percussion Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 40059 Condition: Very good plus. The barrel is polished bright and the protected areas underneath the barrel bands are bright (polishing blued barrels of Enfield and Sharps rifles was common to present a uniform appearance with "National Armory Bright" finished Springfield rifle muskets). The barrel has aged to a smooth silver-gray patina. The case colors on the receiver, hammer, lever, patch box and buttplate have aged to a muted, gray patina. Traces of the original case colors are visible in protected areas. There is some scattered age spotting on the patch box and buttplate. The case colors on the barrel bands and forearm tip have aged to a brown patina. The markings on the barrel and receiver are crisp. The Sharps pellet primer is complete. The walnut stock and forearm are in very good overall condition with scattered, minor handling marks and one deeper bruise in the right side of the stock above the patch box. The sling swivel is missing from the middle barrel band. The rifle shows wear that is to be expected from a weapon that was issued and carried during the Civil War but was well cared for and not abused. This is a very good original example of a Civil War Sharps Model 1859 rifle.

This U.S. Model 1863 Rifle Musket was manufactured by Springfield Armory in 1864. The musket has the distinctive Model 1863 bevel-edged hammer, bolster with no provision for clean-out screw, screw-fastened barrel bands and straight shank, tulip-head ramrod. The barrel, forend cap, barrel bands, trigger guard and buttplate are "National Armory Bright". The two-leaf rear sight is blued and the hammer and lock plate have a casehardened finish. The stock is oil-finished black walnut. The lock plate is dated "1863" behind the hammer and the top of the barrel is dated "1864". The lock plate is roll-stamped with the Springfield Armory Eagle/Shield motif in front of the hammer followed by "U.S./SPRINGFIELD" in two lines. A small Eagle/Shield motif is stamped on the face of the percussion nipple bolster. The left barrel flat is stamped with the "V/P/Eagle Head" proof and inspection marks. "U.S." is stamped on the heel of the buttplate. An Ordnance Sub-inspection mark consisting of three script initials in a rectangle and the script "ESA" final inspection mark are stamped on the left stock flat. A two-initial Sub-inspection mark is stamped on the underside of the stock behind the trigger guard. The Model 1863 Type I Rifle Musket combined features of the Model 1861 Special Rifle Musket and the Model 1861 Rifle Musket and was the standard Federal infantry long arm during the last two years of the Civil War. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent. The musket is completely original and appears to be in un-issued condition. The barrel and bright-finished furniture have been lightly cleaned. The case colors on the lock plate and hammer are 80% plus intact and slightly faded. The markings on the lock plate and barrel are crisp. The stock is in excellent condition with raised feathered grain and sharp edges surrounding the lock plate, in the barrel channel and on the left flat. The Ordnance inspection marks on the left stock flat are crisp. With minor storage marks on the left stock flat. Mechanically excellent. This is an exceptionally good example of an important Civil War rifle musket.

This is a very fine, original example of a U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1855 Rifled-Musket that was manufactured prior to the Civil War in 1860. The musket is finished ''National Armory Bright'' and has a black walnut, oil-finished stock with an iron forend cap and patch box, and two visible oval cartouches on the left flat. The lock is dated "1860" behind the hammer and stamped "U.S./ SPRINGFIELD" below the bolster. The tape primer compartment lid is stamped with the Springfield Eagle and Shield motif. The top barrel flat is marked with "JDB" over the faint date "1859" and the left side of the barrel is stamped with the "V/P/eagle head" proof and inspection marks. The buttplate tang is stamped "U.S.". Blade front and folding three leaf rear sights, iron tulip head ramrod and brass and wooden barrel plug. Springfield Armory manufactured 47,115 Model 1855 Rifle-Muskets between 1857 and 1861. Most of these muskets were issued to the regular U.S. Army regiments and elite volunteer units at the start of the Civil War. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 58 percussion Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Very fine. The metal surfaces have a smooth silver-gray patina, with some darker areas on the lock, primer lid and hammer. The stock is also very fine with crisp cartouches and some overall scattered minor scratches and dents. The markings are clear and crisp. The action is excellent. These Model 1855 rifle-muskets are highly underestimated and difficult to find in this fine of condition!

These Cadet Muskets were made from 1851-1853 and utilized the small Model 1847 Musketoon lock. A total of 4,000 of these scaled-down muskets were manufactured and issued to various cadet organizations including the famous Virginia Military Institute (VMI), which were shipped under the direct order of President Zachary Taylor. The lock plate is marked "SPRING/FIELD/1852" vertically behind the hammer and is stamped with the eagle and shield above "US" in front of the hammer. The barrel tang is dated "1852" and the left rear of the barrel is marked with the "V/P/eagle head" proofmarks. The musket has an iron ramrod with a trumpet-shaped head and is mounted with a full walnut stock with visible oval cartouche on the left flat, three barrel bands and the buttplate tang is marked "US" ahead of the screw and "I" to the rear. Model 1851 Cadet Muskets were carried by the VMI Cadets at the Battle of New Market, Virginia in 1864. BBL: 40 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 57 bore Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Fine. The barrel retains a bright appearance, while the remaining metal surfaces have a smooth silver-gray patina. The stock is very good. There is a 1 inch x 1 inch insert on top of the wrist and some overall scattered minor pressure dents and dings. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. One does not find these Model 1851 Cadets very often!

One of 4500 produced by A.H. Waters Armory, the Greene Patent Rifle holds the distinction of being the first bolt action rifle purchased by the U.S. government (900 were bought). Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with the upper tang marked "GREENE'S PATENT/NOV. 17 1857." and the distinctive ring hammer on the underside, ahead of the trigger. Smooth straight grip stock, with a trumpet ramrod, three barrel bands (2 marked "U"), sling swivels and a smooth buttplate with storage compartment. BBL: 36 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 52 Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Excellent plus, with 98% of the original blue finish, with most of the bright niter blue present on the barrel bands and bolt handle, the latter otherwise showing a highly attractive niter blue finish, and some light handling marks overall. Stock is also excellent plus, with mild pressure dents and scratches. An opportunity to own a rare milestone in American martial arms design. This example is unissued and cannot be improved upon! Updated Information: The underside of the bolt is numbered "3201".

1) Patented in 1862, the Hanes Excelsior consists of a central ball, ringed with 14 percussion caps and filled with the explosive payload, which is then enclosed in a spherical case. Upon striking the ground, one or more primers are crushed between the ball and case, detonating the explosives. Due to the complete lack of safety devices, using the Excelsior was something of an adventure, and production was limited. 2) Tin box, measuring 2 1/2 x 2 x 1 1/2 inches, with a paper label on the lid marked "100/Du PONT SPECIAL/HAND GRENADE/CAPS". BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: 1) Very good, showing a mixed brown patina overall, with some spotting and dings on the outer case.

This is an example of a U.S. Model 1843 carbine manufactured by Simeon North in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1849. This carbine is one of the famous group of 5000 Model 1843 carbines sold as obsolete for $3.50 by the Ordnance Department in August 1861 and subsequently purchased by speculators, rifled, and resold to General John C. Fremont for $22.00 each. The rifled Model 1843 carbines were then issued to Federal volunteer cavalry regiments who carried them for much of the Civil War.

This is a beautiful example of a U.S. Government inspected Colt Model 1883 Gatling gun with carriage and rare caisson. The Gatling gun was first developed in 1862 when Richard Jordan Gatling was issued the first patent covering "Improvements in Revolving Battery Guns". The first Gatling gun was capable of a cyclic rate of 200 rounds per minute, by the time this model was developed it had a cyclic rate that reached as high as 1,500 per minute. The Gatling Gun revolutionized warfare and with Gatling's engineering invention changed the way wars were fought forever. Gatling's basic mechanism is used on ship and aircraft guns today. The brass encased 10 barrel cluster is approximately 50 inches in length including the breech section. The trunnion strap is engraved "MANUFD BY/COLTS Pat F.A. Mfg.Co./HARTFORD CONN.". Directly behind the housing for the Accles feed mechanism is marked "1886" over script inspectors initials. Directly behind the marking is the oval plate which houses the spirit level. The plate is marked "GATLING GUN" at the top and "PATENTED" at the bottom. Below the plate is engraved "MODEL 1883/No. 435/CAL. 45". The inspectors initials "D.F.C." are stamped at the end of the housing. There is a sight mounted on each side of the housing at the rear. The side mounted crank allows for a firing rate of about 600-800 rounds a minute. Some of these guns had a rear mounted crank which allowed a much higher rate of about 1,500 rounds a minute The donut shaped brass Accles drum magazine is mounted on top of the barrel housing. The carriage is steel construction with an ammunition box mounted on top of the axle housing on each side of the gun. The right front of the housing is stamped "WATERVLIET ARSENAL." and "U.S. No. 34 1886" on the left side. The same marking is repeated on the axle housing on the carriage. The stampings are red paint filled. All of the carriage has been nicely painted black. The carriage has two large tan painted spoked wheels with iron rims. Behind the gun on the yoke is a spring loaded seat. The caisson attaches to the yoke of the carriage by means of the towing hook and also is constructed of steel, painted black and has large wooden spoked wheels with iron rims.

This is a beautiful pair of 1/2 scale mallard decoys made and painted by Charles Perdew for F.D. Loomis. Loomis and F.W. Paralee were commissioned by the State of Illinois to document all of the decoys made in the state. They recorded over 200 carvers in "The Decoys and Decoy Carvers of Illinois" The most prolific and best known carver on the Illinois River was Charles Perdew (1874 - 1963). During his sixty-year carving career he made thousands of hunting decoys using a drawknife, wood gouge, whittling knife, and a make shift mechanical sander fashioned out of an old treadle sewing machine. Perdew carved mostly puddle ducks, mallard, pintail, green and blue winged teal, wood duck, diver ducks, bluebill, canvasback, and geese. He also carved decoys for crow hunting. There was once a bounty on dead crows in Illinois. Perdew influenced many Illinois carvers and several he personally taught. Perdew also made a few mechanical owl decoys whose heads turned and made a rasping sound as a string was pulled. This lot features two mallards, a hen, and a drake. As noted above they were given to Mr. Loomis by Charles Perdew and are both marked on the bottom "Loomis/Monmouth, Ill./ssn". The ducks are as expected beautifully carved and painted by Perdew. They are approximately 9 1/2 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide and stand just under 6 inches to the top of the head. BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Both are excellent.

Until 1941 his wife, Edna painted most of the decoys, as is the case with this pair. Although the two used the same basic patterns and paints, their styles were quite different. Edna used wet-on-wet blending and more "combing" which made her style softer. Combing was a technique used by many of the Illinois River carvers to emulate the ducks vermiculation (fine barred lines found on some feathers). Perdew used mostly bold loops painted on a dried base color to detail his feathers.

This lot consists of two duck carvings done by Cline McAlpin, and copy much of the style of Charles Perdew. McAlpin was one of the better known contemporary carvers who made over a thousand birds. McAlpin used a combination of his own woodworking skills and techniques he learned from Charles Perdew, who was one of the best. McAlpin began carving in 1945, having learned from Perdew, and at first borrowed some of Perdew's patterns to cut out rough body sections and heads, but his later decoys reflected his own style of carving and painting. A large number of McAlpin's carvings were used as decorative pieces only. In this lot is a flying drake mallard pin measuring approximately 3 1/4 inches in length and 2 inches high with a 1 5/8 inch pin with clasp on the back. The pin is nicely carved and beautifully painted with bright colors. The other piece is a mallard hen with her head turned back and bill lying on her back, as known as the sleeper.

The Daum glassmaking company, also known as Daum Brothers, was originally established in the city of Nancy, France as the Verrerie Sainte Catherine, in which Jean Daum, a notary and industrialist by trade, was a financier. When the firm hit a nearly fatal slump Daum assumed direct control and brought it back into solvency. Under the tenure of his sons Auguste and Andre it would grow to be a leader in the field of French art glass and the Art Nouveau movement. Measuring 16 inches tall and 5 inches across the base, the exterior is adorned with a scene of a forest in wintertime. Using a combination of techniques associated with Daum, the core material is a light brown glass with yellow streaks which was overlaid with mixed darker brown glass. It was then etched through in three layers. The top unetched layer forming the foreground trees, the second layer the backgrounud trees, and then the deepest etching forming the sky and most distant background to which was added white enameled snow using a ringed effect around the base to further emphasize the illusion of depth created by the etching. The underside of the base is marked with the address/signature "Daum/(Lorraine Cross)/Nancy". BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Excellent.

Born in 1848 and training as a painter before moving on to other mediums, Lewis Comfort Tiffany was one of the leading American artists of the Art Nouveau movement, whose works include a full redecoration of the White House on orders from Chester A. Arthur. While an expert in a number of forms, glasswork was an area of particular interest and passion. Inspired by French glass artisans, Tiffany would build on and innovate from those techniques, setting the course for a distinctly American style of glasswork with such influence that his name is virtuously synonymous with domestic art glass. Measuring 32 inches tall and 9 inches wide, the brass base has an urn profile, leading up to a set of three individually switched bulb holders, a round mounting point for the shade, and topped with a round brass cap, fitted with a short spike. On the underside of the base are the markings "TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/19752" and "C-D/CO/S&X". The shade itself measures 22 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches high, with a floral pattern crafted from blue/white and green/white sections of opalescent Tiffany glass which are then further accented with sections of solid blue and yellow glass and clear sections with green and blue "fracture" pattern accents. Both the opalescent glass (which used completely tinted pieces of glass which are fused together completely during production as opposed to the superficially painted or laminated glass which was the style of the era) and the fracture pattern glass (a technique which requires an artist to deliberately overinflate a glass bubble to the point of failure, then sort through the debris to find pieces suitable to be fused to a base piece) were both signatures of L.C. Tiffany's studio, and were so cutting edge that he had to establish his own glass factory to have them made. The structure of the shade is provided by soldered copper foil, produced by wrapping the edges of the glass pieces with said foil, and then individually soldering them to all adjacent pieces. The lowest edge is given an irregular rolling profile complimenting the organic nature of the floral pattern. Positioned on the inside of the shade, running along one of the foil seams is a set of three copper panels marked "TIFFANY STUDIOS", "NEW YORI(sic)" and "1539" BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Excellent. The main body of the lamp shows a fine deep patina, brighter along the high edges with a few minor handling marks. Shade is excellent, with a fine original attractive patina on the copper. Nearly all of the glass panels are solid, with crisp and attractive color. (A few of these have slight flaws) A rare opportunity to own a vintage piece of American art from Tiffany Studios.

This is truly an extraordinary N. Couloy of Nauvoo, Illinois, signed Albany slip jug dated 1860. This is the only known example to exist. The small brown jug measures 5 3/4 inches tall with a diameter of approximately 3 1/2 inches. As stated, the jug is signed "N. Couloy/Nauvoo, ILL./1860". It has a single stone handle and a 3/4 inch opening. A small city in Hancock County, Illinois, located on the bend of the Mississippi River, Nauvoo was named by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saints movement. Nauvoo is derived from the traditional Hebrew language with an anglicized spelling meaning "to be beautiful". Joseph Smith and his Latter Day Saint followers had been prosecuted for their beliefs from the day the religious movement began in 1830. Members of the church had hoped that Nauvoo would became a permanent safe haven. It was not to be as in 1844 an angry mob killed Joseph Smith and his bother and began burning the city of Nauvoo. Two years later Brigham Young, Smith's successor, made the decision to lead the church members on a mass exodus through the Mexican-controlled Southwest that would eventually end in forming a permanent Latter Day Saint community in the valley of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The city of Nauvoo continues today to be a center of historical religious significance for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. More than 40 of the religious sites such as the Temple and early church member homes of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball have been restored or rebuilt and are opened to the public.

Originating in the Old Country, the horn chair uses animal horns to form a significant amount of the frame and structure, creating an item that is both unique and attractive.

This is a fantastic example of a very rare, 1936 Mauser contract P.08 Luger as produced for the country of Iran (formerly Persia prior to 1935) Government. These rare commercial contract Lugers were produced at the same time the commercial Mauser Banners were being manufactured and are identical except that these have all their markings in Farsi. There were two contracts for this model of Luger, one was in 1936 and the second contract was in 1942, with 1,000 pistols ordered in each contract, that consist of both short and artillery type Luger pistols. These are an extremely rare Luger as very few examples were ever released by the Iranian Government. The top of the chamber area is marked with the National Coat of Arms for Iran exactly like those on the Mauser Model 49 rifles and carbines. The left side of the barrel extension has the small Mauser "Crown/U" proof mark and the right side of the barrel extension and under side of the barrel both has a small Iranian "Crown/Scimitar" type acceptance proof. The front toggle has a long Persian/Farsi inscription, (which may translate to Mauser) and as noted all the pistol markings, safety, extractor, serial number etc. are all in Farsi. The serial number has been translated to (1953) so it is assumed that this exceptional pistol was produced at the end of the first contract in 1936/1937 time frame, with each of the smaller parts carrying the last two digits (53) in Farsi, except the firing pin and grips which are all unnumbered. As noted this is a complete Persian Luger rig that is accompanied by a very rare brown contract holster. The holster itself is very similar to the standard mid-1930s commercial model however the belt loops and one end of the pull tab are secured to the back side of the holster with a small flat, brown rivet. Inside the holster is a take down tool pouch but without any cover/closure. On the back side of the holster flap is a small circular makers mark or inspection stamp. It's approximately the size of a quarter with Farsi markings around the outside with a small (unidentifiable) emblem inside. The lower edge of the circle is stamped "TABRIZ". This type of proof certainly would indicate that the holster was made in Iran. It is complete with two original Persian/Iranian contract nickel plated magazines with the aluminum bases. Both bases are numbered in Farsi, one is numbered (3273) and the other one is numbered (683). The takedown tool looks original to the rig, it is unmarked. The grips are the correct checkered walnut version that is numbered on the left grip only. BBL: 4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 1953 Condition: Excellent with 98% original blue finish with wear on edges and high spots overall, such as the side plate hump and front muzzle area. The various small parts all retain 80% of their straw colors. The grips are in excellent condition, with nice original checkering with sharp distinct checkered diamonds on both sides with no crack or damage with only a couple of minor light pressure dents. The holster is in very fine condition with a nice light brown color overall with excellent tight stitching showing some minor light scuffs/minor scratches on the front and top of the flap with very nice distinct markings on the inside of the flap. A very rare Persian 4 inch barrel contract Luger rig.

This is an exceptionally rare and equally outstanding example of an Iranian contract Mauser cutaway Luger pistol. These Iranian commercial contract Lugers were produced under two separate commercial contracts, one in 1936 and the second one in 1942, with 1,000 pistols ordered in each contract and were made up with both short and long artillery barrel length Luger pistols. These are an extremely rare Luger as almost NO examples were ever released by the Government of Iran. With this one being a cutaway example it is estimated that probably no more than 20-30 total were ever produced with this one falling early in the first production. As noted on all Iranian contract Lugers, the markings are all in Farsi and this one is the same, except that there is no Iranian coat of arms on the top of the chamber area as most of that was sectioned anyway, and then obviously it has been cutaway in various areas to show the complete inner workings of the pistol. In all there are 22 different windows cutaway on both sides of the pistol which show how all the parts interface and function together. All the various parts are correctly marked with the Farsi symbols for serial number 28, except the barrel which is numbered in English "18". Also on the left side of the barrel and right side of the trigger have a medium size letter "U" similar to the letter used on rejected parts. It is complete with the original "matching" number magazine. BBL: 3 7/8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 28 Condition: Excellent to like new condition with 99% plus of the original blue finish overall. The various small parts retain 99% of their straw colors with only minor fading. The checkered walnut grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp distinct checkering on both sides with minimal handling marks. If this pistol was issued/used at all it wasn't very much as it is in just fantastic condition and certainly represents an excellent example of a very rare Iranian contract cutaway Luger pistol.

This is an extraordinarily rare all original "Prototype" Luger DWM 1900 pistol made with a special 6 3/4 inch, rapid taper barrel and matching prototype, "push-button" shoulder stock. All of these early prototype Lugers were made with unique, individual aspects on each pistol with no two being exactly alike. These pistols were all numbered with a special, five-digit type serial number, in the 10000 range, with this specific example being numbered "10034". As noted, this prototype pistol has a very unique 6 3/4 inch fast taper barrel that has the full serial number stamped on the underside, which is also matching to frame. Additionally the underside of the barrel is stamped "172.28", indicating the number of lead balls of this size that it takes to weigh one pound. The other rare/unique aspect of this prototype pistol is that the heel or lower back strap area has been machined for a stock lug (which had not been made before) and the pistol has been fitted with the very rare, matching numbered, "push button" prototype attaching iron and original flat board style, shoulder stock. This "push-button" prototype attaching iron, was the original design, that was later discarded in favor of the later locking lever type mechanism. There were not more than a couple of these push-button prototype stock attaching irons ever manufactured, certainly making it as rare as the pistol itself. The pistol itself has the early style dished toggles with toggle lock on the right side, grip safety and early flat/recessed breech bolt. The barrel is correctly proofed with the commercial "B,U,G" proofs with the "B,U" proofs on receiver, breechblock and front toggle link. The thumb safety is second type with short domed checkered pad and it has narrow trigger and grip safety pad. This beautiful prototype Luger is fitted with matching numbered full checkered wood grips with an original unmarked wood base magazine. Comes with a black leather holster with shoulder strap and original cleaning rod with oiler. The consignor notes that this pistol apparently came out of Chile in 1990 according to an accompanying certificate from the Banco De Pruebas De Chile, and bears an overlaying "B" and "P" in a shield on the right side of the frame that matches the Banco De Pruebas symbol on the certificate. BBL: 6 3/4 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 7.65 mm Luger Auto Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number: 10034 Condition: Excellent. The pistol retains 97% plus original blue finish, with 90% plus of the original straw color on the small components. All of the numbers match, (including the attaching iron as noted above), except for the magazine and the hold open and firing pin are properly un-numbered. The grips are also excellent with only a couple of chipped diamonds, showing extremely minor light wear, sharp checkering and an attractive wood grain showing through. The magazine is near mint with some light wear. The stock is also excellent with only light handling and storage marks. The holster and straps are sound with light flaking and show little wear with a crackled surface. Cleaning rod/oiler are excellent. The mechanics are crisp. This extremely rare prototype Model 1900 Luger pistol/shoulder stock rig are museum quality and suitable for even the most discerning and advanced collector.

This is an outstanding example of an original, DWM 1904 German Navy contract Luger pistol. These early Navy Lugers were actually ordered in Dec. 1904, prior to any Luger pistol being adopted by the German Navy, as they were intended to be replacements for the old Reichs revolver and the German Navy High Command wanted replacements ordered immediately. Formal approval by the German Navy High Command didn't actually take place until May 1905, consequently making these a pre-contract example. At the time the order was placed, it is estimated that the order was for approximately 2,000 pistols, with only a very few surviving examples existing today. Those that do generally fall into three blocks of serial numbers; those in the serial number block between 1-44 as reported in official documents from the returning East Africa Expeditionary Force in 1908, with no survivors, those in the serial number block between 36-86 with "8" known surviving examples (with this exact pistol listed by serial number in Jan Still's excellent book on Imperial Luger's page 159-161) with another group of identified pistols generally falling into the serial number block in the 144-1,148 range, with only "21" total surviving examples known today in the world! Obviously these true 1904 Navy Lugers are an extremely rare piece and are never found in any Luger collection. As noted this pistol is in it's original 1904 configuration and has the early one-piece spring toggle lock mechanism on the right side, no Imperial Navy proofs anywhere on the pistol (which is correct for these early pre-approval Lugers), the distinctive 15 cm "Fat Barrel" configuration which was quickly dropped from production, the flat double frame spring, and the later two-position Navy type rear sight. It has the standard blank chamber area, "DWM" marked toggle, standard extractor markings with the polished lower safety area with the upper area having the milled, "GESICHERT" markings. In addition the only numbers found on this model is number "61" on the front of the frame, underside of the barrel and barrel extension lug, the left side of the breech block, toggle assembly, trigger, take down lever and left grip. It is complete with a later production replacement mismatched number Navy magazine that has the nickel plated magazine body with the correct wooden base with the correct concentric rings on the sides. As noted this is an extremely rare model Luger as almost 99% of these early Navy Lugers including all successive model 1906, 1908, and even the 1914 models, were all destroyed or at least reworked after WWI to comply with the Versailles Treaty. BBL: 6 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 61 Condition: Very fine with 85% plus of the original blued finish overall with light wear on the edges and high spots, mixed with actual browning/light speckling of the blue finish on the grip straps, the outside portion of the center section of the barrel and the left side of the barrel extension. The small parts retain 50% of their original straw colors. The grips are also in very fine condition with nice checkering on both sides, just showing even honest wear across the tops of the checkering. The most distracting aspect of this extremely rare pistol is that there are a couple of minor pin-prick pitted areas on the frame under the grips, the right front muzzle area, the left side of the barrel extension and lower edge of the left frame. As noted this extremely rare 1904 Naval Luger has all matching numbers except the right grip which is numbered (52). Just a side note, if this was a standard issue Luger this overall condition might be detrimental to it's value however, due to the significant historical aspects of this pistol, and the extremely low/non-existence survival rate, this is really a stellar example and one of only two we have ever offered at auction in nearly 20 years!

This is an exceptionally nice early, all original, all matching WWII G98/40 service rifle. These rifles were originally manufactured during the early part of WWII as the Hungarian model 35, at the Metal Goods and Weapons Factory, Budapest, Hungary. After the take over of the Hungarian factory by the Germans these rifles were designated the model G98/40 and the factory was given the wartime code of "jhv". This rifle is similar in function and operation to the standard K98 rifle with nearly identical front and rear sights, making training and reissue very easy. The top of the receiver is marked "jhv/41" the wartime code for the Hungarian factory and 1941 for the year of manufacture. The left receiver side wall is marked "G98/40" and the left side of the receiver and barrel have the large German Eagle firing proof. There are two large "Eagle/56" proofs on the right side of the receiver, and nearly every part, including the stock, forend and handguard, have either an "Eagle/56" or "Eagle/WaA56" proof mark. The forend is marked in front of the trigger guard, the buttstock is marked in the pistol grip area and on the bottom lower area with these proofs, along with the matching serial number and additional "jhv" code, and is marked on the right side below the sling slot cutout with two more "Eagle/WaA56" proofs. The handguard is marked on the top near the rear sight with the "Eagle/WaA56" proof as well. This rifle has the original cleaning rod which is serial numbered to the gun, and an original rubber muzzle cap. It is complete with an original leather cross hatched sling, ink stamped on the rough side "gtg/1942" and further along the sling "Kar." The original front sight hood is intact. BBL: 23 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 8 mm Mauser Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 6579d Condition: Excellent 98% original blued finish, with many areas of dried grease in the more protected areas. The wood is also excellent with scattered minor pressure dents, with crisp and clear markings. The sling is in very good original condition. Undoubtedly the finest WWII Nazi G98/40 ever offered by our auction company!

This is an excellent example of a Late WWII Nazi K43 semi-automatic sniper rifle as manufactured by the Walther factory that has the correct WWII ZF4 sniper scope and Walther proofed original mount. This rifle has the late war rough cast receiver with rough cast bolt cover, with the reinforcing web on the front end and the hollow cocking knob on the left side. It also has the late war stamped sheet metal action cover. The rifle is a very late production rifle with the left side of the receiver marked "K43" and "ac/45" next to the "b" suffix serial number as well as the "Eagle/359" Waffenamt proof. The scope is marked "Gw ZF 4/71512/ddx/triangle". It has an original mount numbered "2909" towards the front end and has the correctly "fest" and "lose" marked locking lever. The stock and handguard are the correct late war laminated versions with stamped trigger guard with a partial "Eagle/359" stamped on the left side of the buttstock with a smaller same proof inside the pistol grip area. It is complete with an original brown leather sling, rubber muzzle cover, cleaning rod and sheet metal front sight cover. BBL: 22 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 8 mm Mauser Finish: phosphate Grips: Serial Number: 3941B Condition: Excellent overall with 95% of the original phosphate/blue finish with edges and high spot wear overall. The stock and handguard are both in very good condition with a nice matching color, that has handling marks and light scratches overall from actual use. The scope also retains 95% of it's original blue finish and the optics are clear but a little hazy. A nice example of a late WWII Nazi K43 sniper rig.

The rifle is equipped with ramp blade and tangent sights and fitted with a "cxn/Z.F.41/1" scope in a "duv" mount renumbered to match gun and stamped with a spurious totenkopf. The top of the receiver is marked with the Walther banner over "THURINGEN" and the right side is marked "Deutsches Sportmodell". Smooth straight grip stock with a portion of the left side lowered to accommodate the base, "139" stamped in the sling cutout and fitted with a flat buttplate. BBL: 26 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 22 LR Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 56843 Condition: Very fine as partially customized (see above). The rifle retains 97% of the professionally applied blue finish with a few small areas of mixed brown and gray patina on the trigger guard, and some light handling marks. Stock is very fine, with pressure dents and scratches. Optics are slightly hazy. The action is excellent.

This is an excellent example of a very rare unaltered late 1920 Luger carbine that was manufactured by DWM. These Lugers are fairly rare in this country as they were produced after WWI for commercial sales only on a special order basis. It is estimated that less than 100 1920 style carbines were ever produced with very few actually available in the U.S.. The conversion work for these models was all performed by DWM in Germany, with one or two types of frame; either an earlier 1906 style frame with grip safety, in which a stock lug was welded on to the back of the frame or in a very few cases a newer 1914 style frame was used. This example has the earlier original style 1906 type frame with the welded on stock lug. The front of the frame was also modified by DWM by attaching a hanger on the front to mount the forend. The top of the chamber is unmarked and the rear toggle has the standard DWM markings. The left side of the barrel extension, breech block and barrel all have a single "Crown/N" commercial proof with an additional number (4638) added to the left side of the barrel extension, and the frame rail is stamped "MADE IN GERMANY". The extractor is marked "GELADEN" and the lower safety area has been milled out to remove the old safety markings with the upper area correctly unmarked. The frame is correctly numbered inside the front cutout (119) and then again on the under side of the barrel, the barrel lug and inside the forend. As noted the barrel extension, was numbered (4638) on the left side and the side plate, trigger and take down lever all carry the matching assembly numbers of (38). It is fitted with a ramp front sight and a carbine rear sight was attached to the rear of the barrel by the DWM factory and is graduated 1, 2, 3, (100-300) meters. It has walnut checkered grips with the left grip numbered "119" with the right side being blank. As noted this is a complete carbine rig with an original 1920 style carbine stock with an unnumbered attaching iron with the horn buttplate and sling swivel. It is also fitted with the correct Schnabel tip walnut forend with the coarser checkering on both sides. This beautiful carbine rig is housed in an contemporary walnut storage case brown leather covering with a French fitted interior with red lining. The case holds the original Luger carbine and stock, two spare original wood base magazines, an original cleaning rod, takedown tool stamped "GERMANY", and an original Winchester box of 7.63mm Mauser ammunition. BBL: 11 3/4 inch round Stock: walnut checkered Gauge: 7.65 mm Luger Auto Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 119 Condition: Excellent with 98% of the original blue finish overall with minor edge and high spot wear. The various small parts retain 90% of the original straw colors The grips, and forend are both in excellent condition with nice distinct and sharp, coarse 1920 style checkering, while the stock is in excellent condition with excellent color and sharp checkering with minor handling marks, light pressure dents on both sides of the stock. The custom case is excellent condition with all the corners intact and the right latch slightly loose, with some heavier scratches in the leather on the lid, with the red felt interior lining inside in excellent condition. As noted this pistol has all matching numbers and is an extremely rare Luger carbine that is seldom found in any condition.

This is an exceptionally nice example of a late WWI 1917 dated DWM Artillery Luger pistol, that is accompanied with an ultra rare set of original WWI developmental/prototype "Radium" clip-on night sights. A similar set of sights is pictured on page 254 of the book "Luger Holsters and Accessories" by Bender. These sights were intended to improve the ability to engage targets at night and have also been seen on various configurations of GEW sniper rifles. The unique aspect of this example is that it contains the detachable "rear sight" set, which is usually always missing as they can fall off easily. As shown the front sight is secured by a small band, with lock screw that fits around the barrel, which contains a small circular vial of Radium (which has depleted over the years). The rear sight aperture is made up of two sheet metal stampings that also contain some kind of luminous material that is seen through a small slit, mounted on each side of the rear sight aperture. This rear sight attachment is held on by two small locking screws, that impinge on the rear sight. The artillery Luger is dated 1917 over the chamber area, with the "DWM" monogram on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the "Crown/Gothic letter" military acceptance proofs next to the "Imperial Eagle" firing proof. These same proofs are also on the side and underside of the barrel. This Luger is numbered in the military style with the full serial number on the major parts with the last two digits of the serial number on the various small parts. The extractor and safety are correctly marked and it has the standard front sight with the artillery style tangent rear sight that is graduated from 1-8 (100-800) meters. The Luger is complete with one nickel plated magazine with matching numbered wooden base marked "2162/n/+". Also in this lot is an original, and fairly rare, Artillery length, 4mm barrel insert, that includes an original 4mm, Artillery length cleaning rod for the barrel insert. An exact type device is also shown on page 323 of the same book referenced above. BBL: 8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 2162n Condition: Very fine with 95% plus original blue finish overall with some minor touch up present on the center section of the barrel, with some minor pitting underneath the blue finish. The small parts retain 65% of the original straw colors, fading with age. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides showing light wear. The unique/rare night sight apertures are both in excellent condition, (although, both probably have lost their ability to glow in the dark due to their age) are complete and intact and correctly fit on the Luger barrel and rear sight. The additional Artillery length barrel insert is in excellent condition with the original bright polished outside with an excellent bore. A very nice lot with an excellent Artillery Luger pistol with all matching numbers to include the magazine, the rare/unique developmental or prototype Radium sights with the additional barrel insert.

This is an excellent example of a scarce long barrel DWM commercial Luger pistol with 6 inch barrel. "DWM" scroll marked on the front toggle link, "crown/N" proof on left side receiver and "GERMANY" export mark on left side of barrel. Fitted with full checkered walnut grips and accompanied by an original "GERMANY" marked wood base magazine. Barrel is unnumbered. Safety area is marked "GESICHERT" in bottom position and extractor is marked "GELADEN". An unusual configuration that is in excellent original condition. BBL: 6 inch round Stock: Gauge: 30 Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number: 1130t Condition: Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish. The small components retain 98% original factory straw colors with some thinning on thumb safety and face of trigger. The grips are also excellent showing some light wear with a few scattered chipped diamonds in the otherwise crisp checkering, and showing a dark wood grain through checkering. The mechanics are excellent.

This is a spectacular example of a lavishly embellished Krieghoff Luger with "KRIEGHOFF SUHL" marking and "HK" and anchor logo on front toggle link with full serial number on left front side of receiver. Left side flat of frame is marked "Heinrich Krieghoff/Waffenfabrik/Suhl". Remainder of pistol has nearly 100% coverage deep relief Germanic style oak leaf pattern engraving with fine stippled background. All flat surfaces have gold wire outline with a cloud shaped gold wire inlay around inscription on flat panel on left side of frame. The grip screws are also engraved. Fitted with extremely beautiful special grade carved oak leaf and acorn pattern walnut grips with checkered center medallion. Inside each grip is a pencil number "1". Original matching numbered machined stainless steel body aluminum base magazine with matching engraving patterns on base. The finish on this pistol appears to be original bright metal but is in reality a pickling process wherein the parts that were not to be pickled were gold washed and after pickling process the gold wash was removed. This pickling process leaves the surface slightly rough, on the order of rust bluing. It is apparent, upon close examination, that the engraved areas were gold washed prior to pickling leaving only the unengraved edges exposed which show this light roughness. Pistol is complete in a burgundy velvet lined English oak presentation case, custom fitted in the bottom for the pistol and one magazine, with an empty lidded compartment. There is a brass disk inlay in the lid. This spectacular Luger is accompanied by a copy of an email from Carl Kleber of Worms, Germany dated May 2, 2008 and addressed to the consignor with the subject "History of Krieghoff Luger #25190". Mr. Kleber states that this pistol was a birthday present for Josef (Sepp) Buerkel in 1943 who, prior to 1929, had been a teacher. At that time he joined the NSDAP (Hitler's Party) and became a Gauleiter of "The West-Gau which covered the area of Western Germany-Rhineland-Palatone, up to the city of Koeln and to the French border/Saarbruecken". This was a very large area of that part of Europe. Mr. Kleber goes on to state that in 1944 Gauleiter Buerkel became disillusioned that Germany could win the war. He apparently spoke of this with his driver, Wilhelm Baer and apparently also spoke openly in the town of Kaiserslautern where he had his offices. Mr. Kleber states that his SS bodyguards reported his statements and Gauleiter Buerkel "died of natural causes". Mr. Kleber also states that Gauleiter Buerkel had a hunting estate near Kerzeheim/Ramsen in the Staatswald and that the house is still standing in a very remote place. It had a well and power plant and was used as an emergency communications center and transmitter station for phone lines from Paris to Berlin. The family Jung from the Klauser-Hof took care of this estate. He goes on that toward the end of WWII the driver, Wilhelm Baer, took all of the estate, papers, uniforms, etc. of Gauleiter Buerkel to the Klauser-Hof where he hid and he also hid the Luger and a lot of other guns. Wilhelm Baer was taken prisoner-of-war by the advancing American Army and spent time in the death camp at Bad Kreuznach, where he almost died. He was released in 1947. He returned to the Klauser-Hof and in 1949 married a daughter of the Jung Family. In 1974 this Krieghoff Luger was registered in his name when Germany introduced gun registration and it remained in his possession until he died in 2002. The Baer family sold off all of the possessions of Gauleiter Buerkel and Wilhelm Baer with this Krieghoff Luger being the last item, which Mr. Kleber purchased himself. With this solid provenance, this is one of the very few, if not the only, documented presentation Krieghoff Lugers in the world for sale today and certainly is one of the finest ever made. BBL: 4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Finish: pickled Grips: walnut Serial Number: 25190 Condition: Very fine as exhibition quality embellished. The pistol retains virtually all of its bright coin finish with crisp engraving and bright gold inlay. The grips are exceptionally carved and retaining most of the original oil finish. The magazine is also excellent plus. The mechanics are crisp. All numbers match. The case is excellent with some minor nicks and scratches and slight wear internally.

This is a nice example of a late 1941 Mauser Luger pistol that was produced towards the end of regular Nazi Army production. These late Mauser production Lugers have been termed, "Black Widow" Lugers based on them having the late war, all salt blued finish which is very dark in color, with the late "P08" frame markings on the left side. This luger has the "41" chamber date with the front toggle marked with "byf", the wartime code for the Mauser factory. The right side of the barrel extension has the "eagle/655" Waffenamt proofs along with the single eagle firing proof. It is numbered in the military fashion with the full serial number (4163) stamped on the front of the frame, the left side of the barrel extension and the underside of the barrel. With the last two digits of the serial number (63) stamped on the various small parts. This example is fitted with the late war black plastic unmarked or proofed grips. It has standard sights, standard safety/extractor markings and is complete with two, type three aluminum base Army magazines. The blue magazine bodies are marked with the "fxo/Eagle 37/P08" markings on the side and both aluminum bases are stamped; "4163/n" and "4163/n/+" with no other markings or proofs. This pistol is complete with a black leather holster marked on the back "jkh/41/WaA927" with the large P.08 marking in the upper right hand corner. It is complete with a WWII take down tool marked with a faint "Eagle/655" Waffenamt proof. BBL: 3 7/8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: black checkered plastic Serial Number: 4163n Condition: Excellent plus with 99% of the original late war blue finish with minor edge and high spot wear with some thinning on the side plate hump and stock lug. The grips are in excellent condition with only minor handling marks with no cracks or damage. The holster is also excellent with nice color overall with tight stitching. A truly exceptional WWII two matching magazines, P.08 Black Window rig!

This is a very nice example of an original, "unaltered" 1906 "First Issue" Navy military issue Luger pistol. These first issue pistols are extremely scarce as almost 99% were destroyed or at least reworked to a 4 inch barrel configuration after WWI to comply with the Versailles treaty. Out of the estimated total of 21,000 manufactured there were only 460 reported to date, (as noted on page 159, Imperial Luger J. Still). As noted this pistol is still in its original unaltered condition, with the original "GESICHERT" safety markings in the LOWER position. It has the characteristic six-inch Navy barrel, with the two-position (100 and 200 meter) Navy rear sight, grip safety, stock lug and wooden magazine base with concentric circles on the side. The top of the chamber is blank and the front toggle has the correct DWM markings. The left side of the barrel extension has the single "Crown" firing proof next to a double "Crown/M" Navy acceptance proof, both are also repeated on the left and underside of the barrel. The left side of the breechblock has a single "Crown" firing proof. It has the standard military serial number placement with the full number on the frame, underside of the barrel with the last two digits on the various small parts. It is complete with one original nickel plated Navy magazine with wooden base that is stamped on the underside with a single "Crown/M" Naval proof over number "6720". BBL: 6 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm parabellum Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 8638 Condition: Very fine with 75% of the faded original rust blue finish remaining with the balance turning a mixed blue/brown patina overall. The left side of the muzzle and barrel show some light pin-prick size pitting. The various small parts retain 10% of their original straw colors. The grips are very good overall with good checkering, with wear across the tops of the checkering mixed with a few minor handling marks and light pressure dents. This scarce First Issue Luger pistol has all matching numbers except the magazine as noted above, the firing pin, which is unnumbered and the grip safety which is mismatched. Still this is a very scarce early Navy issue Luger pistol.

This is an ultra rare, all original and unaltered 1906 DWM "Russian" contract Luger pistol. This is probably the most highly sought after, early commercial contract Luger that was ever produced by DWM. There were exactly 1,000 of these pistols manufactured for the Czar of Russia, all with three digit serial numbers, with only a handful of original examples having ever been discovered outside of Russia. This beautiful Luger is all original and in near new condition, and has the distinctive crossed "Mosin Nagant" rifles over the chamber with the DWM marked toggle. It has the correct Cyrillic markings on the safety and extractor. It has the early features such as the 1906 style grip safety and no stock lug. These pistols have no firing or acceptance proofs and are marked with the full serial number (567) on the front of the frame and underside of the barrel, with the last two digits (67) on the various small parts (in the commercial style) to include the back side of each grip panel. This beautiful Luger is complete with an original nickel plated, wood base commercial magazine. The bottom of the wood base is correctly marked in script, "Cal 9m/m". BBL: 4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number: 567 Condition: Excellent plus. Overall the pistol retains 99% original blue finish. The small components retain 97% original straw colors with some slight thinning on thumb safety, trigger and lock bolt. The grips are also excellent with sharp checkering with a beautiful wood grain. The magazine is excellent with a few minor nicks on wood base. This exceptional Luger has all matching numbers, except the magazine as noted above. The mechanics are crisp. Overall an exceptional Luger for any model, but especially rare for the Russian Contract model. Certainly for the super advance, discriminating Luger collector. This is the finest example of a Russian contract Luger pistol in the world for sale today.

This is a nice example of an early WWII production G41 rifle manufactured by the Berlin-Lubecker manufacturing company in 1943. The early G41 series of rifles used the "Bang Gas-Trap" system which employed a barrel mounted "Gas Trap" muzzle cone to trap hot gas that was bled off when the round was fired and which cycled the action. The system was time consuming and costly to produce and was eventually replaced with the standard G43 series of rifles. This example has a rough milled receiver with the left side marked "G/41/duv 43/Eagle 214 Waffenamt/5753h" and the opposite side marked with a single Eagle firing proof. Milled bolt carrier with the bolt latch on the left side and the cocking knob on the right, with a machined action cover. Front sight has a sheet metal cover. Laminated stock and black resin handguard stamped with a double Waffenamt Eagle 214 proof on the buttstock and a small Eagle proof in the pistol grip. BBL: 24 inch round Stock: laminated Gauge: 8 mm Mauser Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 5753h Condition: Very fine. The rifle retains 95% plus original blue finish overall with wear and thinning on the edges and high spots overall, with the blue finish thinning and turning brown on the barrel bands, the front gas system and the action cover. The exposed magazine has lost most of the blue finish and has turned a gray patina. The stock and handguard shows numerous light pressure dents, dings and gouges overall from actual field use and has the large initials "VIN" carved in front of the buttplate on the underside of the stock. A very nice example of an early WWII G41 rifle.

This is a nice example of a WWII Nazi low turret type sniper rifle as manufactured by the Mauser factory and fitted with a commercial Ajack 4x90 sniper scope. The turret mount rifles were considered the most efficient design of the K98 rifles and were in service from 1939 to the end of the war. The scope on this rifle is marked "AJACK 4x90" on the left side of the adjuster base, with the adjusting knob graduated 1 to 8. The left side of the rear scope base is marked with an eagle/135 proof and the front scope ring is numbered to the gun. The top of the receiver ring is covered by the front turret, with the right side marked with an "eagle 135" proof (only the 135 is visible) and the left side has an eagle 135 and Nazi firing proofs flanking the serial number. The left receiver wall is marked "Mod. 98". The left rear of the barrel is marked with a Nazi firing proof and the top right of the barrel at the breech is marked "43 E". Milled floor plate and barrel bands, with a stamped trigger guard. Hooded ramp front sight, tangent rear sight graduated to 2000 meters and steel cleaning rod with slotted head. Walnut stock and handguard fitted with a cupped buttplate and stamped with a WaA135 proof on the right side of the buttstock and a fiant eagle proof on the underside. BBL: 24 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 8 mm Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 42313 Condition: Very good overall as assembled. The rifle retains 99% of the blue current finish on the receiver and barrel bands with smooth gray on the barrel and bolt handle and thinning on the bolt. The stock has been lightly sanded and re-varnished, and remains very good with scattered minor dents, dings and nicks. The scope is very good with 95% finish thinning in areas and showing some scratches, and dings. There is some minor pitting under the finish on the mount. The optics are clear. Unless noted above, the markings are clear. The complete bolt assembly, barrel bands and scope have been nicely renumbered to match the rifle. A nice example of a scarce Low Turret Sniper Rifle.

Measuring just under 4 inch long with no makers markings, this tool was designed for use with a G41 semi-automatic rifle, and includes and octagonal barrel wrench, carbon scraper and a band spring depressor. BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Excellent with 90% plus original blue with some edge wear and scattered discoloration.

This is an excellent example of a late production Model 1893 Borschardt pistol that was produced by the DWM factory. These are highly desirable and not encountered near as often as the Loewe produced example and are the direct predecessor to the DWM 1899/1900 Luger. Originally these pistols were marketed under the name WAFFENFABRIK/LOEWE/BERLIN however sometime in approximately 1895 that company merged with the Deutsche Matallpatronenfabrik of Karlsruhe forming the new company of DWM. Consequently this pistol is actually a later model, manufactured under the new name. The chamber area of the barrel extension is now marked in three lines: "SYSTEM BORCHARDT PATENT/DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND-MUNITIONSFABRIKEN./BERLIN.". The top of the toggle link is stamped "D.R.P./No. 75837". The pistol serial number "2230" is visible on the stock lug, the bottom of the pistol grip, the left side of the trigger, the left side of the toggle link, the rear underside of the barrel, and on the wooden base of both magazines. The left side of the barrel has the standard Crown over B, U and G proofs, while the left front edge of the barrel extension, the left side of the breechblock and toggle assembly have the standard Crown over the "B and U" acceptance proofs. Originally these pistols could be purchased (at an additional expense) with additional components, stock, carrying case and extra magazines, however this example is only the pistol and the two matching nickel plated, wooden base magazines. The rear side of the frame has a small circular "Charkra" Siam proof mark. BBL: 7 1/4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 7.63 mm Borchardt Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 2230 Condition: Excellent with 98% of the original blue finish remaining overall. With some minor thinning of the blue on the front grip strap, mixed with some minor light scratches, with actual blue loss on the front edges of the frame rails, the cocking knob and the high spots of the front sight base/ring on the front of the barrel. The checkered walnut stocks are in excellent condition showing nice distinct checkering on both sides with only a few minor handling marks with a couple of chips in the checkering on both sides. The smooth border around the checkering retains 98% of its original varnish with only some minor handling marks. The rear of the action and stock lug all show 97% plus of the blue in that area indicating that it has not been used with a wooden shoulder stock. As noted this pistol has all matching numbers to include two original matching serialized magazines.

This is an example of a early "P" code series commercial contract Luger that has the desirable Krieghoff "Side Frame Inscription" markings. This serial number falls within the early "P" code series 1 Lugers except this example is basically void of almost all part serial numbers. These Lugers are described on page 190 and 191 of Gibson's book on Krieghoff Lugers. It is estimated that approximately 1000 of these "P" code commercial Lugers with the side inscription were produced. This specific pistol as noted has only the full serial number "P785" on the front of the frame with no other serial numbers on any of the parts. The left side of the barrel extension has only a small "LWaA" 1944 pattern acceptance/inspection and the right side of the breech block and back side of the side plate both have a small LWa /2 firing proof. As noted, this specific pistol has the side frame markings in three lines, that consist of "Heinrich Krieghoff/Waffenfabrik/Suhl". It is fitted with a set of the unmarked brown plastic grips with the coarse checkering with the smooth border. The pistol is complete with one blued magazine with the milled magazine body and the late Army type four pinned aluminum base with no markings on either one. BBL: 3 7/8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: brown plastic checkered Serial Number: P785 Condition: Very fine as partially restored with 90% of the wartime/early post war high polished blue finish overall with only minor edge and high spot wear. The various small parts retain 85% of their refurbished straw colors, fading on the front of the trigger. The grips are in excellent condition with minor handling marks with a couple of small nicks on the left side.

This is an excellent example of a very rare and scarce early 1934 'K-Dated' Luger pistol as manufactured by the Mauser factory. This example is a very early sub variation 3 or transitional Luger that has both the scripted "S" in the "S/42" code on the toggle and a Gothic "S" on all parts. These early 'K' date Lugers are extremely rare with an estimate of only 10,000 total produced in 1934 with only 3,850 total made in this sub variation. The top of the chamber has the large "K" date which was the secret code for Luger manufactured in 1934. The right side of the barrel extension has the single large script "S" proof over the early style "B/90" and "S/91". It has the military style full serial number (6031) on the front of the frame, under side of the barrel, the left side of the barrel extension, with the last two digits of the serial number (67) stamped on the various small parts along with the small Gothic letter "S" as noted above. It is fitted with checkered walnut grips, both are correctly numbered "31" on the back with the left side carrying a partial Gothic "S" inspection mark. As noted this pistol is complete with two matching magazines marked as follows; "S/6031/Boxed B90" proof with the second magazine also marked the same way with an additional "+" symbol. It is complete with an original 1934 black leather holster that is marked on the back side, "CARK ACKVA A, G./BAD KRUEZNACH/1934". Inside the flap of the holster it has the takedown tool pouch that carries an original early takedown tool that is also proofed "S/Boxed B90/S42" and the back is numbered 4221. BBL: 4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 6031 Condition: Very fine as refinished with 80% professionally applied rust blue finish remaining overall with wear on the edges and high spots, with finish loss on the side plate hump and front frame rails, mixed with a partially restored blued finish on the center section of the barrel and the rear grip strap. The restored finish has blended and aged over time and now very closely matches the rest of the pistol. The various small parts retain 80% of their straw colors. The grips are in very good condition with nice original checkering on both sides showing original even, honest wear across the tops of the checkering with minor handling marks, but no cracks or damage. The leather holster is also in excellent condition with nice clear markings on the back, with nice tight stitching overall. The surface of the leather and stitching has an old redyed and black polished finish which has also very nicely aged and provides a very nice appearance to the holster. As noted this pistol is all matching to include both magazines and even though it shows some very minor restoration. This is still an extremely rare Luger pistol and is very rare in this high end condition.

This is a very scarce and probably a "One of a Kind" prototype, short frame transitional model Luger with a unique reinforced chamber area. These models were used by the Luger factory to develop new designs on a single gun basis like a tool room or concept evaluation style basis, that might evolve into an actual prototype design. This model of pistol has all the attributes of other prototype models in that it has the old style frame, with the flat, double recoil spring, dished toggles with toggle lock, early style fast taper style barrel, flat breechblock, and a totally unmarked safety/frame area. The only markings on the entire pistol are a small number "2" on the underside of the front toggle and a small number "5" inside the rear frame recess. This example has a single unmarked wood base magazine with a nickel plated magazine body. As noted however is the fact that the breech end of the barrel has the reinforced barrel/chamber area in front of the barrel extension. Certainly a very rare and one of a kind Luger that warrants considerably more research. BBL: 4 3/4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 7.65 mm Luger Auto Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 5 Condition: Near mint condition with 99% of the professionally restored, rust blued finish with sharp distinct flats, edges and radiuses. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides with only minor handling marks. Certainly a very unique/rare example of a transitional Luger pistol.

This is an extraordinary and unique, relief engraved, gold plated Walther model PP with SA inscription, carved ivory grips with gold "VL" initials and factory case. This pistol is attributed to Viktor Lutze who along with Goring, Himmler and Heydrich drew up the lists of those to be liquidated in preparation of the Purge of Rohm in 1934, also known as the Night of The Long Knives. Lutze joined the German Army in 1912, fought in a few infantry regiments during WWI. He became a company commander and became a merchant and joined the police force after the war. He joined the Nazi Party in 1922. He worked with Albert Leo Schlageter in the resistance/sabotage of the Belgian and French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923. His organization of the Ruhr for the SA became the model for other regions after 1926. In 1933 he was appointed police president of Hanover and later its provincial governor and state counselor. He rose through the ranks and by 1933 was a SA-Obergruppenfuher. He was the Stabschef (Chief of Staff) of the Sturmabteilung (SA) from 1934 to 1943. On May 1, 1943 he was involved in an automobile accident and died the next day during surgery in the hospital. Documents that accompany the pistol indicate that it was surrendered to U.S. Army Lieutenant Winchester Kelso by the owner of an estate near Minden, Germany in the spring of 1945. Lt. Kelso was a platoon leader in the 84th Division a unit nicknamed the "Railsplitters". During the battle for the Ardennes his platoon and unit distinguished themselves against two Panzer Divisions. The pistol is gold plated and decorated with deeply chiseled Walther oak leaf and acorn pattern engraving. The Walther Factory legend is relief cut in a banner on the left side of the slide, (roughly translates to SA Pistol Shoot 1937). A panel on the right side of the slide below the ejection port is engraved "S.A. - PISTOLENSCHISSEN 1937". The ivory grips are carved in an oak leaf and acorn pattern with black background, a gold plated Walther banner is mounted on the right grip and the gold plated German script initials "VL" on the left grip. The serial number, "972851" is on the lower right side of the frame underneath the grips. The pistol frame, trigger guard, and barrel chamber are decorated with the same deeply chiseled relief engraving as the slide. Both the safety lever and the magazine release are fully engraved. The right side of the barrel chamber and muzzle are marked with a commercial "crown/N" proof mark. The level of engraving on this pistol is similar in quality to that shown in Adolph Hitler Model PP pistol illustrated on page 33 of WALTHER VOLUME II, ENGRAVED, PRESENTATION, AND STANDARD MODELS by James Rankin. The pistol is complete with a gold plated spare magazine with white plastic finger extension, blued steel cleaning rod, and three silver plated 7.65 cartridges. The pistol has a standard brown, leatherette factory case with green velvet lining. The inside of the case lid is embossed in gold with the Walther banner above "PP". The pistol apparently was engraved and presented as an S.A. shooting trophy. BBL: 3 7/8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 7.65 mm auto Finish: gold Grips: ivory Serial Number: 972851 Condition: Excellent. The pistol retains 95% plus of the original factory gold finish. Wear is limited to high points of the relief engraving and panel edges on the slide and trigger. The pistol retains about 90% of the gold plated finish showing wear from normal usage and the spare magazine retains at least 95% with some scuffs and wear from normal usage. The grips are in near-mint condition with an attractive grain. The case exterior is excellent with slight wear on bottom edges, a separation of the leather on the right corner and some scratching on the bottom. The case interior has faded and has the expected compression marks/contact wear. The gold Walther banner and "PP" markings are bright. This pistol is an outstanding example of the highest quality engraving produced by Walther and is one of the most elaborately decorated Nazi Model PP pistols known. It is a unique pistol attributed to a high ranking Nazi official in exceptional original condition and features some of the most elaborate and detailed factory engraving of any Walther pistol. The only other example of this high of grade of embellished Walther Pistol that writer has viewed was the one presented to Adolf Hitler which reportedly was last sold in the vicinity approaching seven digit figures!

This is another example of an all original and unaltered, WWI German Army 1915 dated DWM military contract Luger, complete with two original matching magazines, 1915 dated brown leather holster, and tool. This mid-WW1 production Luger is very rare to have survived in this exceptional condition. The chamber area is dated 1915 with the standard DWM logo on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the standard military/Army inspection proof next to a single Imperial Army firing proof. The safety and extractor are both correctly marked, and it has the military style serial number placement with the full serial number on the frame, barrel, barrel extension and both magazines, with the last two digits of the serial number on the various small parts. This rig is complete with an exceptionally nice medium brown leather holster that has a makers mark (which is only partially readable) stamped on the back side of the flap/"BERLIN/1915. This rig as noted has two original wood base matching magazines, with the bases marked "8061/a and 8061/a/+" The holster is complete with "script/letter Imperial" proof mark. BBL: 3 7/8 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 8061a Condition: Excellent with 97% plus of the original blue finish overall with wear on the edges and high spots, side plate and muzzle. The various small parts also retain 80% of their straw colors overall. The grips are in excellent condition with excellent checkering on both sides with only some minor handling marks and very minor wear on the lower edges of the grips. The holster is in very fine condition with a nice matching brown color on the holster and flap with nice tight stitching. The front of the holster, edge and top portion of the flap do show minor scuffs in the leather with minor scratches. Overall an excellent matching DWM 1915 dated Luger rig.

This is a first issue altered Navy Luger that is scarce as most were destroyed or at least reworked after WWI. This is an example of a 1906 DWM, first issue altered, Navy Luger with the characteristic six-inch Navy barrel, two-position rear sight, grip safety, undated chamber area, and wooden base Navy magazine with concentric circles on the side. The right side of the barrel extension is correctly unmarked and the left side has the two small crown proofs, next to a double Crown over "M" Navy proof, with "GERMANY" stamped directly below that on the frame rail, indicating this pistol was exported out of Europe (in the 1920s). The underside of the barrel has a single "Crown/M" Navy proof over the serial number "7673". The top of the chamber is unmarked and the front toggle has the DWM markings. Since this pistol is a first model altered, the lower safety area markings have been milled off, with the upper safety area correctly stamped "GESICHERT". The extractor is correctly marked "GELADEN" on the left side. The full serial number (7673) is stamped on the underside of the barrel and front of the frame and the LAT two digits, (73) correctly stamped on the various small parts. The rear grip strap is marked "W.K./2485", which indicates this pistol was originally issued out of the Navy Depot at Kiel. BBL: 6 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Luger Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 7673 Condition: Very fine with 75% of the arsenal dipped blue finish remaining overall with wear and finish loss on the edges and high spots overall. The various small parts retain traces of their straw colors overall. The grips are in fine condition showing nice original checkering with minor wear across the tops of the checkering. Mechanically excellent.

This is an excellent example of a cased DWM Model 1902 Luger carbine. This example is in excellent condition that shows only minor handling marks and is complete with an original matching DWM factory numbered walnut shoulder stock. These carbines were an early attempt to produce a lightweight rifle substitute to compete with the various stocked pistols being produced throughout Europe at this time. These models all have a longer and heavier barrel that requires a small spring accelerator housed inside the forend to correctly cycle the action during firing.

Switzerland was the first country to adopt the Luger as a military sidearm, and once WWI started DWM could no longer supply Switzerland with Lugers so the Swiss firm of Waffenfabrik Bern produced its own version of the Model 1906. This pistol is one of the Swiss manufactured copies of the German Model 1906.

This is certainly a unique example of a copy of the ultra rare "Baby Luger" semi-automatic pistol. As we all know, original "Baby" Luger pistols are extremely rare with only a handful of original examples known to actually exist. The originals were all manufactured under the direct supervision of Georg Luger himself and so marked. This example is an incredibly close copy of one of those extremely rare Baby Luger pistols. This piece has been masterfully created by shortening an original Luger frame, and grip set by approximately 1 inch, and then manufacturing a new barrel in the original configuration but shorter in length to match the original Baby Luger length. In addition an original WWI type Luger magazine has been corresponding shortened to match the frame length. The craftsmanship was so masterfully done that even a trained expert can barely see the welds from the outside. All the original factory markings and proof marks have been carefully removed, except for the original DWM toggle markings and the entire pistol has been nicely restored in an original rust blued manner, giving the pistol the exact appearance of an original "Baby Luger" pistol. This unique example comes complete with a "John Martz" marked, blued spare Baby Luger magazine and an excellent reproduction of an original baby Luger leather holster, made by "Gale C. Morgan". The holster has been correctly reduced in size and dimensions, matching this unique Luger pistol, but still retains the original Luger holster shape.

This is an unusual custom built Luger, handmade completely from scratch and probably one-of-a-kind. The 5 inch barrel has eight lands and grooves and right hand twist. It has the usual Luger style fixed sights, with no markings or serial number. It visually resembles an original 45 caliber Luger but does not have precisely correct dimensions so was probably made by simply scaling up an original Luger. The quality of work is exceptional. Mechanics closely resemble an original Luger with minor exceptions such as; magazine latches at bottom, it has no safety, no hold open (although there is cutout recess where maker apparently intended to install one) and the firing pin is pinned in place. It would have taken a skilled machinist a lot of time and talent to create this unique piece. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: bright Grips: walnut Serial Number: NSN Condition: Very good. The pistol was left in the white and it shows some very minor spots of discoloration and one or two small spots of surface corrosion. The magazine is of equal condition with the right grip slightly bowed, otherwise grips are sound showing very light wear. The trigger and sear do not engage, probably a minor correctable issue, otherwise mechanics are fine and it appears that with the sear issue corrected, might possibly function fine.

This is an excellent example of an early post WWI Luger that was arsenal reworked after WWI into a late Weimar Police Luger, (as noted by the number 8 added to the serial number) then later reworked by the addition of the sear safety, along with "PTV/Eagle" Simson Rework proof on the rear of the barrel, indicating that the barrel was replaced. These Lugers were specifically issued to early German Police units during the early to mid Weimar era and then again in the early Nazi era. The top of the chamber is marked "1921" indicating the year of rework with the front toggle assembly correctly marked "DWM" for Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken, the original manufacturer. As noted the right side of the barrel is marked with the two "PTV" proofs, with the underside of the barrel correctly numbered "3206a", along with an "Eagle/N" commercial proof. The top of the side plate has the small spring left over from the sear safety mechanism, which is typical of Police Lugers produced during this time frame. The pistol has a standard rust blued finish with straw colored small parts and unnumbered checkered walnut grips. This Luger is complete with two stainless steel Haenel/Schmeisser milled magazines with the aluminum bases, with each one stamped with the full serial number (83206) over "1" and "2" respectively.

The various small parts retain 70% of their straw colored finish. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering overall. The holster is in excellent condition with a nice black color overall with nice tight white stitching and clear sharp markings. The Luger has all matching numbers except the grips, and is an excellent example of a late Weimar/early Nazi Police Luger pistol.

This is an excellent example of a 1906 DWM "American Eagle" Luger. Many of these early commercial Lugers were manufactured for commercial sales throughout the world. The "American Eagle" variations were manufactured to capture interest in the U.S..

Blade and grip are both excellent, with some light scuffing of the scabbard finish and cracking of the otherwise fine frog.

This model was manufactured specifically for the Portuguese Army during the era of Manuel II who ruled for only two years.

This is a late production Luger as manufactured by the Mauser factory with the scarce "41/42" code markings and Luftwaffe acceptance proofs. It is speculated that these "ku" marked Lugers were actually a very late 1944 order for the Luftwaffe that was assembled by the Kreighoff factory using leftover, or substandard Mauser Luger parts. It is estimated that only 5,000 were produced in three different groups with this serial number range and markings in the second group. This example has the "41" date on the chamber with "42" on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has a partial Krieghoff "eagle/LA" Luftwaffe acceptance proof and the left side has the small "ku" proof added behind the serial number.

The grips are very good overall with minor handling marks and with nice checkering showing even honest wear across the tops of the checkering. The pistol has all matching numbers to include the magazine and grips as noted above. However the barrel finish has been professionally restored, which removed the barrel markings and there is some very old minor light pitting in some areas overall, such as the stock lug, the lower front grip strap, the edges of the side plate and edge of the trigger guard. All most likely from sitting in a holster. Still a very nice example of a scarce late war Mauser Luger.

This is an excellent example of an extremely rare Singer Manufacturing Company, U.S. M1911A1 semi-automatic pistol marked "PROTOTYPE 3". This unique pistol is a prototype example of the eventual 500-pistol Educational Order No. W-ORD-396 issued to the Singer Manufacturing Company on April 17, 1940. This is just an exceptionally rare and exceptionally high condition M1911A1 Singer pistol, of which there are only a handful that are actually known to date. We had the pleasure of selling pistol "Prototype 2" in a past auction and this one is marked exactly as that one was and undoubtedly came from the same group of pistols. This pistol has the distinctive Singer high polish Du-Lite blue finish and is fitted with the original checkered brown plastic Keyes Fiber stocks. The feed ramp is bright. The grip plates are the correct early version for this type of pistol as they lack the reinforcing rings around the grip screw holes and also are lacking the interior reinforcing ribs on the back side of each grip. The pistol is complete with a Singer style magazine, that is unmarked, that has the correct pinned floor plate and the same full Du-Lite, blue finish as the pistol. The pistol has the Singer fine checkered main spring housing, milled trigger with checkered face, the wide spur, short checkered, milled hammer, with a checkered slide stop and thumb safety. The barrel has the same Du-Lite finish as the other components and is not marked. The left side of the slide is marked: "S. MFG. CO./ ELIZABETH, N.J. U.S.A." in two lines on the left. The right side of the frame is marked: "PROTOTYPE 3" in front of the trigger guard. The marking is approximately 1 5/32-inches long and 5/32-inch high and was experimentally applied by the factory after the pistol was finished. The protype pistol has no other visible markings. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: brown plastic checkered Serial Number: PROTOTYPE 3 Condition: Excellent with 98% plus of the original high polished Du-Lite blued finish with only very, very minor edge wear on the front end of the slide, a very small spot of pin-prick pitting on the left side corner of the rear sight, and the left rear edge of the slide. The plastic grips are also excellent with nice sharp checkering. An excellent example of an extremely rare and high-condition Singer M1911A1 Prototype pistol.

This is an excellent original example of a U.S. Model 1911.45 caliber automatic pistol that was manufactured by the Springfield Armory in 1914. The Springfield Armory manufactured 27,855 Model 1911 pistols between December 1912 and April 1917. The pistol has the same dull rust blue finish that is found on pre -WWI Springfield Model 1903 rifles. The oil-finished checkered walnut stocks have slightly larger diamonds surrounding the screw escutcheons, The two-tone lanyard loop magazine has the distinctive flanges over the floor plate. The front sight is an integral part of the slide and the 'Type III' long hammer has knurling that continues over the rear edge of the hammer spur. The right side of the slide is roll-stamped with the Springfield Armory Spread Eagle/Shield motif followed by "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY.". The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the distinctive three-line Colt patent markings followed by "SPRINGFIELD ARMORY/U.S.A." in two lines and the Ordnance 'Shell and Flame' insignia behind the slide serrations. The right side of the frame is roll-stamped with the serial number, "No 102920", behind the slide stop hole. The left side of the frame is roll-stamped with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" in front of the trigger guard bow and the 'Shell and Flame' insignia above the magazine release. The Springfield Armory "S" mark is stamped on the inside of the barrel bushing, the inside of the slide stop and on the right side of the hammer. The barrel has the same dull blue finish as the frame and receiver. The right side of the barrel lug is stamped with the Springfield "S" mark and a "P" proof mark is tamped on the left side of the barrel lug. BBL: 5.0 inch Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 102920 Condition: Excellent. The pistol appears to have all of the original components and retains 98% plus of the correct original rust blue finish. The finish has faded with age and shows handling wear on the mainspring housing, grip safety and grip strap. The barrel retains nearly all of the blue finish and shows minimal cycling wear on the chamber. The stocks are both in excellent condition with only light handling wear. The magazine retains about 95% of the original two-tone finish. Mechanically excellent. One will look a long time to find a finer example!

Colt Model 1903 Hammerless .32 Automatic Pistol manufactured in 1942 and shipped to Great Britain in 1944 for issue by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to European Resistance organizations. The pistol has the smooth Colt Parco-Lubrite finish with a blue barrel. The grips are checkered walnut with nickel silver Colt medallions. The magazine is blue.

The pistol serial number, "566015" is written on the box lid in pencil. The box contains an instruction sheet and parkerized cleaning rod along with the original tan tissue wrapping paper. BBL: 3 3/4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 32 ACP Finish: parkerized Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 566015 Condition: Excellent. The pistol retains 99% of the original Parco-Lubrite finish and has only very insignificant storage wear. The grips are in excellent condition, with only a shallow dent in the left grip below the medallion. The magazine has 98-99% of the original blue finish. The bore is mirror bright. All of the markings are extremely sharp. The box, instruction sheet and cleaning rod are all excellent. This is an excellent example of a U.S. Contract Colt Model 1903 Hammerless .32 Automatic Pistol supplied to the SOE for Clandestine Operations in Nazi-occupied Europe during WWII.

This Model 1911A1 pistol was delivered by Colt to Springfield Armory in October 1942 and is documented as once being the property of United States Marine Corps Major Henry Alexius Courtney, Jr. The pistol was delivered to his family along with his other personal effects. Courtney was born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1916 and was a lawyer in civilian life before joining the Marine Reserves in 1940. Originally in charge of a reserve company from his hometown, Courtney would lead a Company of the 1st Marine Division in the Guadacanal Campaign, and become Executive Officer of the 2nd Battalion, 22nd Regiment, 6th Marine Division for the Battle of Okinawa. During this battle, Major Courtney led a night attack on Sugar Loaf Hill. This particular mound, barely 50 feet high and about 300 yards long, was a critical strong point in the Japanese defenses and one of the most hotly contested locations on the island. On the night of May 14, 1945, Courtney took a small contingent of men to disrupt a potential Japanese counterattack. During this attack, Maj. Courtney personally destroyed a large number of enemy defensive positions before cresting Sugar Loaf and discovering a large gathering of Japanese soldiers, whom he promptly attacked. While organizing his men and assisting casualties, Maj. Courtney was struck down by enemy mortar fire. For his actions, Courtney received the Medal of Honor. From the Medal of Honor citation: "Although instantly killed by a hostile mortar burst while moving among his men, Maj. Courtney, by his astute military acumen, indomitable leadership, and decisive action in the face of overwhelming odds, had contributed essentially to the success of the Okinawa campaign". This Model 1911A1 pistol has fixed sights, with the two line, two block Colt markings on the left side flanking the Rampant Colt, "P" ahead of the rear sight, and matching number around the firing pin. The frame is "W.B" inspected, with "P" near the magazine catch, and "UNITED STATES PROPERTY M1911A1 U.S.ARMY" on the right side stamped above the serial number. The trigger guard is stamped "60" and "1/ VP" and the blue barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" on the left side just above the lug and "P" on the left side of the lug. It has a checkered wide hammer, milled trigger, checkered slide catch and thumb safety, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing with lanyard loop, and reinforced Colt grips. The pistol has a full blue commercial magazine. Included with the pistol are a green canvas web belt and a brown leather "BOYT/44" holster, a letter from John C. Courtney, Henry Courtney's brother, who identifies the pistol, holster and belt as the Major's personal items, and a large number of other papers, including a photocopy of the July 1991 edition of U.S. Martial Arms Collector and Springfield Research Newsletter, which featured this pistol, a copy of the Medal Citation from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, copies of several articles related to the Major and his assault on Sugar Loaf Hill, and the books "Okinawa: Victory in the Pacific" by Major Chas. Nichols and "History of the Sixth Marine Division" by Bevan Cass, both with pages relevant to the Major flagged. Please note that while Marine Corps records confirm this as being Major Courtney's pistol, the sidearm he had with him during the Sugar Loaf attack was retained by the Marine Corps. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: parkerized Grips: plastic Serial Number: 827363 Condition: Excellent plus. The pistol retains 99% plus of the original parkerized finish, with only minor holster wear. The barrel retains 97% plus of the original blue finish showing a minimal amount of cycling wear. The grips are excellent, with sharp checkering. The holster has been oiled, with a medium russet color overall, minor scuffs, and strong markings, with the web belt in similar condition. Mechanically excellent. This is a superb example of a "WB" inspected 1911A1 pistol, with immeasurable value as an artifact from the Battle of Okinawa.

This dress uniform and flight suit with personal effects belonged to U.S. Marine Corps pilot Captain Charles J. "Sly" Magill who is a 1991 Persian Gulf War fighter pilot credited with shooting down an Iraqi MiG-29 Fulcrum. On exchange duty with the U.S. Air Force's 58th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 33rd Tactical Fighter Wing, USMC Top Gun graduate, Capt. Charles Magill, lead a group of eight F-15 Eagles during a mission on the morning of January 17, 1991. The purpose of the mission was to provide air cover for a strike package against Al Taqaddum and Al Assad airfields in Iraq. Before the strike package of F-16s, F-15s, F-4Gs, and EF-111s reached their targets, Magill was alerted by an E-3 Sentry that two Iraqi MiG-29 Fulcrums were in the area. The Marine Corps Captain split his flight into two four-ship formations with one formation continuing to the airfields while the other formation with Magill leading turned toward the two MiGs. Magill and his wingman, Air Force Captain Rhory Draeger, engaged the MiGs after evading enemy surface-to-air missiles with each pilot scoring an air-to-air victory. For his actions, Magill was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Capt. Magill was the first and only Marine to achieve an air-to-air kill during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and is the last aerial victory for a Marine aviator since the Vietnam War. As of 2010, Magill's F-15 (85-0107) still flies with the USAF. As part of the 44th Fighter Squadron at Kadena Air Base, the F-15 bears a green kill star for the 1991 mission below the canopy rail on the left side. Magill's dress service coat has USMC lapel insignia, Captain bars on the shoulders and a gold clutch back pilot wing on the left chest. The coat has a Saco label. The coat is complete with a shirt, tie, Captain's garrison cap, and a pair of trousers. The shirt has a Great Northern tag and Magill's name is hand written on the laundry tag. The trousers have a Saco tag. Magill's summer flight suit is also included. The size 38R flight suit has Magill's name tag on the left chest and Captain bars on the shoulders. Comes with 4x6 photograph of Magill's F-15, 11x14 photograph of Magill standing in front of his F-15, two Captain bars, USMC lapel insignia, and Magill's dog tag. BBL: Stock: Gauge: Finish: Grips: Serial Number: Condition: Excellent. The dress uniform is in excellent condition showing little wear. The flight suit is also in excellent condition. A historic and desirable display piece for an advanced aviation collection.

This is an extremely rare and unique US Martial "Test" pistol that was originally Manufactured for 1907-1911 U.S. military test trials. During the Philippine Insurrection, the US Army had been equipped with the Colt Model 1894 revolver that fired the anemic Colt 38 revolver cartridge. Subsequent to that, in early 1904 John Browning was developing a substantially larger and improved cartridge, which resulted into the 45 ACP cartridge. In January 1906 BG Crozier, (Chief of Ordnance) issued a letter of invitation to the gun manufacturing industry to develop and submit a new semiautomatic handgun based on utilizing this new 45 ACP cartridge. Eighteen companies initially responded but only eight actually submitted a test sample pistol, with Savage and Colt being two of the companies. Ultimately this competition resulted in the contract award to Colt for the Model 1907 pistol. The Savage Model 1907 test pistols were issued to the 3rd, 6th and 11th Cavalry units for field tests, with compensative tests being conducted by the Army as well, between 1907 and 1911. In total only 288 Savage .45 caliber automatic pistols were manufactured between 1907 and 1911. At the completion of the 1911 competition all the pistols were sold to the Tryon & Company with most all examples being refinish and remarked. As note this pistol is a super rare all original unaltered example can be distinguished by the following features; it has the full length barrel rib marked on top in two lines "MANUFACTURED BY SAVAGE ARMS CO./UTICA N.Y. U.S.A. PAT. NOV. 21. 1905." that ends with the markings of "CAL 45", it still retains the original thin/narrow grip safety that is not integral with the rear of the frame; it has the Model 1909 improved marking designs of "FIRE" and "SAFE" at the rear of the frame and the wider checkered walnut grip panels. It is complete with one original magazine that has the nickel plated magazine body with the blued floor plate. This rare example is correctly serial numbered on the inside of the frame (102) the back side of each grip panel (102) and the underside of the upper slide. bolt assembly (102). The back side of the magazine is numbered (216). BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 102 Condition: Excellent with 98% of the bright original high polished blue finish with only minor high spot wear. The trigger retains 90% plus vivid original case colors with some minor fading on the face of the trigger. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with nice distinct original checkering on both sides with no handling marks. This is not only just an exceptional high condition Savage test pistol, it remains in the original fantastic condition. This would certainly be the center piece of any high end U.S. Martial pistol collection. This is the finest Savage 45 Test Pistol we have ever offered! Additional Information: There is a hairline crack down the back edge of the right grip.

This is an exceptional example of an all original, WWI Model 1911 pistol that was manufactured by the Colt Manufacturing Company. This pistol is actually a very scarce example that was produced in early Feb/March 1918, which retained the block style lettering and markings (without serifs), the old style Rampant Colt behind the slide legend with the smaller, 3/32 inch tall "MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY" and old style recoil spring housing cutout, which also retains the original Colt blued parts. This series of pistol actually falls into a short production run subset, as shortly after this serial number range Colt switched to the late style larger slide markings, with the Rampant Colt between the markings, a new recoil spring housing cutout and with the new "Black Army" finish. As noted it has the correct WWI Colt slide marked on the left side "PATENTED APR. 20.1897. SEPT.9.1902, DEC. 19. 1905. FEB.14.1911. AUG 19.1913" followed by "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO." over "HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." with the Rampant Colt behind the slide serrations. The left side of the frame is marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and it has the circled "JMG" proof of LTC J.M. Gilbert, the government inspector assigned to the Colt factory. The right side of the frame has the serial number of the pistol (251411) behind the slide stop pin hole. It still has all the correct early WWI parts such as the Colt wide hammer with checkered spur, smooth flat mainspring housing, checkered slide stop and thumb safety, and it is fitted with the correct WWI mid-production Colt barrel that is marked with the separated "P" and "H" proofs on top of the chamber area of the barrel. It has the original WWI Colt diamond checkered walnut grips and is complete with one bi-tone magazine. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 251411 Condition: Exceptional, excellent, all original condition with 98% plus of the original blued finish overall, with only very minor edge wear in a couple of places with just a hint of very minor thinning on the top front portion of the slide and the rear of the barrel from cycling the action. The walnut grips are also in excellent plus condition with nice sharp, distinct, and unaltered checkering on both sides and only a small compression dent on the lower left hand grip. Mechanically excellent. Truly an exceptional, high condition U.S. Colt WWI Model 1911 Army contract pistol.

This extremely rare Model 1911A1 "Demonstration Pistol" that was manufactured by Remington Rand in 1943. These "Demonstration Pistols" were manufactured to show employees the finished Model 1911A1 pistol, explain how it was used and emphasize the importance of every operation on each part. Remington Rand manufactured 145 Demonstration Pistols in a separate series beginning with serial number "1". The pistols had a parkerized finish and the serial numbers were stamped on the pistols after the parkerized finish was applied. The pistols did not have military nomenclature, inspection, proof or "U.S. Property" marks on the slide and frame. The Demonstration Pistols were subsequently presented to Remington Rand officials and employees. The Demonstration Pistols are described on page 313 of "COLT .45 SERVICE PISTOLS" by Charles W. Clawson and example serial number 131 is pictured on page 314 of that work. The pistol has a gray parkerized finish and is fitted with brown plastic checkered grips. The feed ramp is polished bright. The pistol has a serrated arched mainspring housing, narrow hammer with well-defined border on the knurling, checkered slide stop, safety lock and stamped trigger. The right side of the frame is hand-stamped with serial number "132" behind the slide-stop hole. The inside of the serial numbers are bright, indicating they were stamped after the pistol was parkerized. "G" is stamped on the top of the frame to the right of the disconnector hole. The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the first type legend: "REMINGTON RAND INC./SYRACUSE, N.Y. U.S.A." in two lines. There are no military nomenclature, property, proof or inspection marks on the slide or frame. The stocks have large reinforcing rings and interior strengthening ribs. The ribs are stamped with mold numbers. The stocks lack the five-pointed star found on Keyes Fibre Co. stocks and appear to be "Colt wood" stocks. The barrel is stamped "HS" (High Standard) on the right side of the lug and has a "P" proof mark on the left side and has a dark parkerized finish. The magazine has the same dark parkerized finish as the barrel. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: parkerized Grips: brown plastic checkered Serial Number: 132 Condition: Near new. The slide, frame and related components retain 99% of the original gray parkerized finish and show virtually no storage or handling wear. The serial numbers were stamped after the pistol was parkerized and are crisp. The Remington Rand legend on the left side of the slide is sharp. The barrel chamber has no cycling wear. The stocks and stock screws are in new condition. The magazine retains 99% of the parkerized finish. Remington Rand Model 1911A1 Demonstration Pistols are rare. This example, serial number 132, appears to be identical to serial number 131 illustrated in Figure 10-18 of "COLT .45 SERVICE PISTOLS". This rare pistol would be a key addition to any advanced Model 1911/Model 1911A1 collection.

This is an example of a Colt Model 1911 manufactured in late 1918 that was part of a shipment of 20,000 pistols from Colt to the Ordnance Depot in Bush Terminal, Brooklyn. The pistol has the dull "black finish" adopted by Colt in May 1918 in an effort to increase production. The recoil spring housing on the slide is the late pattern adopted about serial number 290,000 and the frame has the heart-shaped grip opening found on late production Model 1911 pistols. The thumb safety is the correct mid-1918 style with smooth contour under the thick thumbpiece. The barrel is correctly stamped with the conjoined, "HP" proof marks on top of the chamber area. The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the two-line, two-block Colt patent dates with the Rampant Colt trade mark/logo in-between the two blocks. The right side of the slide is marked "MODEL OF 1911. U.S. ARMY" in the larger 7/64 inch letters adopted around serial number 260,000. The left side of the frame is stamped "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and has the "Eagle Head/4" final inspection used by the Army Ordnance Inspector. The right side of the frame is stamped with the serial number "No 474970" behind the slide stop hole. The top of the frame is stamped with a "G" behind the disconnector hole which indicates the pistol was manufactured by Colt for a government contract. All of the markings use the Gothic (block) style lettering. The pistol is fitted with the correct two-tone magazine with flat floor plate. The number "5", possible a rack number, is stamped above the upper stock screw on the left grip. This lot also includes a complete holster, web belt and magazine pouch rig.

Manufactured in the early part of 1917, this is a very nice example of an early to mid WWI U.S. Army contract Model 1911 pistol as produced by Colt. In this serial number range only 33,000 Model 1911s were produced. The pistol still retains the WWI military blue finish and has the serif letter markings on the slide and frame. The left side of the slide has the two-line, two-block markings ("PATENTED APR.20, 1897. SEPT. 9, 1902/DEC.19, 1905. FEB.14, 1911. AUG.19, 1913" followed by "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD, CT.

This extraordinary Model 1903 rifle was manufactured by the Springfield Armory in 1917. The rifle has an experimental barrel with seven-groove rifling(some speculate eight groove) and is fitted with a Winchester A5 telescopic sight. This rifle is pictured and described on page 502 of "THE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903 RIFLES" by LTC William S. Brophy as "Model 1903 rifle serial number 716929 that has been fitted with a Winchester A5 telescope that has the rear block mounted on the receiver ring. This rifle has experimental 7-groove rifling and telescopic blocks 7.2 inches between centers". The rifle has the standard pre-war/early WWI finish with casehardened receiver and blued bolt, rear sight base, barrel, barrel bands, trigger guard, floor plate sling swivel and buttplate. The "ON" side of the magazine cut-off lever and the face of the rear sight leaf are polished bright. The buttplate has the fine checkering used on Model 1903 rifles through early 1918. The trigger is grooved and the rear sight windage and elevation knobs have dished faces. The experimental barrel utilizes a Springfield barrel blank with the standard markings that consist of "S A" above the Ordnance Corps Shell and Flame insignia over the date "6-17". The barrel is fitted with an early style front sight base with the front sight stud key located behind the front sight dovetail. The front sight base is not indexed to the front sight. The barrel is stamped with a "WL3" steel lot code underneath the handguard but has no special markings. Casehardened Winchester telescopic sight blocks are mounted on the barrel and on the top of the receiver immediately behind the rear sight base. The standard "U.S./SPRINGFIELD/ARMORY/MODEL 1903" markings on the top of the receiver are partially covered by the rear telescopic sight block. The serial number, "716929" is roll stamped on the right side of the receiver below the Springfield markings. The "OFF/ON" magazine cut-off markings use late gothic letters. The "SAFE" and "READY" markings on the safety lock have earlier Roman lettering. The underside of the bolt safety lug is stamped with an "M" steel lot code. The handguard has been professionally modified to accept the barrel mounted rear sight block. The stock is highly figured walnut with a high polish varnish finish. The style "S" stock has grasping grooves and two reinforcing bolts (the second reinforcing bolt was added to Springfield "S" stocks early in 1917). The stock does not have final inspection mark on the left side of the wrist or the encircled "P" proof mark behind the trigger guard that were stamped on M1903 service rifles. The Winchester A-5 telescopic sight is blued and has a post reticule. The side of the scope tube is roll-stamped: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS Co. NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. PATENTED FEBRUARY 9.1909,/-A5". The scope tube has standard Winchester rings with 1910 and 1907 patent dates on the right sides of the bases. There is no information on why this unique rifle was manufactured by Springfield Armory. Winchester A5 scopes were mounted on Model 1903 target and service rifles from 1910 onwards and the Marine Corps had several hundred A5 telescopic sights with Mann-Neider bases installed on Model 1903 rifles during 1917. Documented Model 1903 rifles with Winchester A5 telescopic sights are rarely encountered. With document dated December 23, 1932 detailing unique 1903 rifles at Springfield Armory. BBL: 24 inch Stock: walnut Gauge: 30 06 Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 716929 Condition: Excellent. The rifle retains over 97% of the original blue and casehardened finish. Slight wear on the trigger guard, floor plate and the bolt body and extractor. The barrel and receiver markings are crisp. The bore of the unique seven-groove barrel is bright. The A5 telescopic sight, rings and bases are in excellent condition and retain more than 95% of the original blue finish. The optics are excellent. The stock is in very good condition with only minor handling and storage marks. The edges of the grasping groves are sharp and show minimal handling wear. This a scarce very high condition documented example of Springfield Model 1903 rifle with Winchester A5 telescopic sight and unique rifling.

This General Officers Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless was issued to Brigadier General John A. Hoefling and comes with the Department of The Army certificate of ownership letter from the Headquarters U.S. Army Weapons Command, dated 11 September 1970. Included in this lot is one original black leather General Officer's holster for the 1903 pistol, a black leather belt with the gold plated General Officer's buckle, a double leather magazine pouch (with no extra magazines) and a box of Remington 32 ACP ammunition. General Hoefling started his military career during the Korean War where he commanded a rifle company. During this tour of duty he received the silver star among other decorations. After the Korean War he held several positions, at the Company level that eventually lead to him being the Battalion commander of the 101st Airborne Division. After this assignment he was assigned as a Logistics Officer at the Pentagon as well as within NATO. In 1965/66 he graduated from the U.S. Army War College and stayed on as a member of the staff faculty until 1968. After leaving the U.S. Army War College he did a tour in Vietnam where he commanded the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division. During his tour in Vietnam he survived two helicopter crashes. After his tour in Vietnam he was assigned to the 3rd Armored Division, eventually retired as a Major General in charge of the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Sales. During his distinguished military career he received, two master degrees, along with an advance degree from Harvard. Thirty combat decorations, to include two Silver Stars, five Bronze Star Awards, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, a double Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB), the Soldier's Medal, and three Legion Of Merit Awards. This pistol was manufactured in approximately 1942 and was awarded to him in September 1970. In addition the serial number of this exact pistol is listed in the book "The Colt U.S. General Officer's Pistol" by Greeley. The left side of the slide is marked with the two line address/1897, 1903 patent dates, with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations and the right side is marked "COLT AUTOMATIC / CALIBRE 32 RIMLESS SMOKELESS". The left side of the frame is marked "U.S. PROPERTY" and the serial number is on the right side of the frame. The pistol is parkerized, has the standard fixed sights, has a blued Colt marked magazine and is fitted with checkered walnut grips with silver Colt medallions. Accompanying this pistol is a hand written note detailing some of his military career, and the original U.S. Government ownership letter issuing this pistol to BG Hoefling. BBL: 3 3/4 inch round Stock: Gauge: 32 ACP Finish: parkerized Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 566662 Condition: Arsenal refurbished with 98% of a late gray Arsenal parkerized finish with only very minor edge and high spot wear overall, with just a hint of wear on the front edges of the slide from being in the holster. The grips are very good overall with nice defined checkering on both sides, with some minor wear, and light pressure dings from use. The markings are clear and sharp. There is some very light rust just starting to form on the grip safety and the pistol could use a good cleaning overall. The General Officers holster, belt and double magazine pouch are also in very good condition with nice tight stitching on all three items, showing minor scuffing and light wear from actual use. Obviously the General wore this rig and carried the pistol during his service. The box of ammunition is missing 8 rounds. A very nice all original General Officer's pistol rig with a nice history on General Hoefling.

Manufactured in 1924. This pistol was the property of Major General William N. Gillmore. General Gillmore graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1925. Gillmore was an artillery officer whose assignments included service with the 36th Infantry Division and 1st Armored Division in Italy in 1944 and the 101st Airborne Division in early 1945. During the Korean Conflict he was artillery officer for IX Corps in Korea, General Gillmore retired from active duty in 1962. His decorations included the Distinguished Service Medal, the Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, European, African, Middle East Medal with 5 Overseas Bars and the Korean Service medal. The pistol was purchased from General Gillmore's grandson c. 2000. Colt manufactured 10,000 Transition Models between January 23 and July 25, 1924. The "Improved Model of 1911" pistols incorporated Ordnance Department design changes approved in 1923. The pistol has the Colt military blue finish on the slide, receiver, small components and barrel, full-checkered walnut stocks and two-tone flat base magazine. The right side of the slide is marked "MODEL of 1911. U.S. ARMY". The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the Colt 1907-1913 patent dates in two lines followed by the Rampant Colt trademark and the two-line Hartford address. The right side of the receiver is roll-stamped: "UNITED STATES PROPERTY/No700718" in two lines behind the slide stop hole. "60" is stamped on the right side of the trigger guard bow. The circled "WTG" monogram of the final inspector Captain Walter T. Gordon used on the first 2,000 Transistion pistols is stamped on the left side of the frame below the slide stop. The top is stamped with a serifed "H" in front of the disconnector hole and a "G" to the right of the hole. A serifed "H" is stamped on the rear of the slide above the firing pin stop and a "G" is stamped on the bottom of the slide. The slide is correctly not serial numbered. The top of the barrel chamber is stamped with the conjoined letters "HP" and "&" is stamped on the underside of the barrel immediately in front of the lug. The pistol is complete with a russet leather Model 1916 Holster manufactured by "BOYT" and dated "44", olive drab WWII pistol belt and WWII "U.S." marked magazine pouch with single snap. General Gillmore's name and service number are written in ink on the inside of the holster flap. Copies of General Gillmore's service records and official photograph are included with the pistol. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 700718 Condition: Fine. The pistol is all original and may have been acquired by General Gillmore on his graduation from West Point and carried throughout his career. The pistol retains 60% plus of the original blue finish and has holster wear on the top and sides of the slide and handling wear on the trigger guard, grip strap and mainspring housing. The grips are both in very good condition but show moderate to heavy handling wear on the heels and front edges. The barrel chamber has 70% of the blue finish. All of the markings are crisp. The magazine has about 90% of the original blue finish. The holster, pistol belt and magazine pouch are all very fine. This is a very good example of a scarce and desirable Colt Transition Model Automatic pistol that was owned and carried by a distinguished U.S. Army WWII General Officer.

This is a nice example of a U.S. Springfield Model 1903 rod bayonet bolt action rifle as manufactured in 1904. Like nearly all of the original production Model 1903 Rod Bayonet rifles, it was modified to accept the Model 1905 Bayonet and then subsequently restored back to the original Rod Bayonet configuration with many of the original parts, that include the distinctive 12-inch retractable rod bayonet, unique two hole front sight base, special front barrel band, early pointed tip narrow trigger, full length style handguard and Model 1902 Krag tangent rear sight. The rifle is fitted with an early "S" type stock with the single reinforcing bolt added in 1909 and has the early smooth buttplate with small diameter butt trap. The tip of the forearm still retains the original hole for the upper barrel band screw that was added when the stock was modified to accept the Model 1905 bayonet. As noted the rifle retains a full length style Rod Bayonet handguard that was originally modified to the shorter length and then restored back to the full length. It is fitted with a authentic style handguard spring clip and two rivets, however the edges of the spring clips have been shortened. The rifle has an original Rod Bayonet barrel which is correctly lacking the manufacture date/ Ordnance and Armory markings, but still correctly measures "24 3/8 inches", as used on the original 30-03 chambered rifles. The breech end of the barrel still shows the original cross-pin slots on the top and underside of the barrel in front of the rear sight base. The underside of the barrel, in the chamber area is is marked with "C 8/P" proofs. The barrel has been fitted with an original rod bayonet front sight base along with a 1905 pattern rear sight based that has been nicely modified to resemble the earlier original 1903 base that has a Krag rear sight on top. Currently the rifle lacks the 1903 style, smooth face, rod bayonet catch, solid lower barrel band, and short face, square end follower and niter blue extractor found on original Rod Bayonet Model 1903 rifles. The bolt body is a later straight handle, blued version that has been partially polished to resemble the bright finished bolts found on original Rod Bayonet rifles. The trigger guard has the cross-pin that was added to limit forward trigger movement when the rifle was modified from Rod Bayonet configuration. The left side of the stock wrist is lightly stamped with the boxed, script, "JSA/1904" final inspection mark that is correct for Rod Bayonet rifles, however the stock lacks the circled script "P" proof mark, in the pistol grip area. The receiver is roll-stamped "U.S./SPRINGFIELD/ARMORY/MODEL 1903/27640" in five lines using the small serifed markings found on early production Model 1903 rifles. The safety lock has the post-1904 safety with "READY" and "SAFE" in serifed letters. The magazine cut-off has the early serifed markings. The rifle is fitted with a Model 1903 Sling marked "ROCK ISLAND/ARSENAL" and stamped with the inspector's initials "E.H.S." A nickel plated oiler is located in the butt trap. BBL: 24 3/8th inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 30-03 Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 27640 Condition: Fine as professionally restored. The finish on the front exposed section of the barrel has been nicely restored to match the rest of the rifle. The buttplate and bolt have an old reblued finish with the bolt been partially polished to resemble an original Rod Bayonet version. The handguard is in very good condition overall as noted, with the stock being in near very good condition with a nice original finish with minimal handling marks overall with the boxed cartouche being restruck, which shows a slight double strike. In addition there is a small field repair on the top right rear edge, near the rear sight base, as well as a crack emanating from the front trigger guard screw and the forend tip, both of which have been professionally reglued and are barely noticeable. The russet leather Model 1903 sling is in excellent condition. Rod Bayonet Model 1903 Rifles are extremely rare, with nearly all of them being modified to accept the Model 1905 Bayonet and in most instances also re-chambered for the .30-06 cartridge. Original Rod Bayonet Model 1903 parts such as followers, lower barrel bands, hand guards and safeties are nearly impossible to find for Rod Bayonet rifle restorations. This is a good looking and substantially correct example of a restored Rod Bayonet Model 1903 rifle. Consequently examples such as this, allow 1903 and U.S. martial arms collectors the opportunity to add an example of this rare and distinctive rifle to their collection at an affordable price. It would be very difficult to duplicate this rifle today as an original unaltered example would certainly bring four to five times the estimated price of this example.

Model 1903 rifle manufactured by Springfield Armory in 1911. The rifle has a blued barrel, bolt, barrel bands, buttplate, trigger guard and floor plate. The receiver is casehardened with a dark, oil-quenched finish. The safety lock and magazine cut-off have a water-quenched, casehardened finish with vivid case colors. The walnut stock and handguard are oil finished. The Model 1905 folding leaf rear sight has a polished face and 2850 yard volley notch centered on the top of the leaf. The sight has the small binding screw with concave face and grooved knurl used to about serial number 509,000. The sight base has the second pattern windage knob with large (.575 inch), concave face and grooved knurl. The rifle has the early pattern, smooth, thin trigger used through 1911. The safety lock has the serifed "READY" and "SAFE" markings that were utilized until 1914. The "OFF" and "ON" markings on the cut-off have the serifed letters used through late 1914. The "ON" side of the cut-off is polished bright. The buttplate has the fine checkering adopted in 1910. The straight handle bolt is stamped with the steel lot code "I 3" on the underside of the safety lug. The upper barrel band has a niter blue finish and the right side is stamped with a block "U" facing the muzzle. The bayonet lug on the upper barrel band is stamped with the "H" found only on Springfield Armory bands. The face of the front sight base and the front sight movable stud are stamped with a matching index mark that indicates the parts were aligned during manufacture and have not been moved or replaced. The upper barrel band, trigger guard and floor plate have a high polish blue finish used on early Model 1903 rifles. This finish was replaced by a more subdued finish in 1914. The Type "S" straight wrist stock has grasping grooves below the front sight base, single reinforcing bolt and the sloping contour below the receiver ring adopted in 1910. The "high-hump" hand guard has the sight relief cut and spring clips introduced in 1910. The receiver is roll-stamped "U.S./SPRINGFIELD ARMORY/MODEL 1903." in block letters above the serial number "486080". The top of the barrel is roll-stamped "S A" above the Ordnance "Shell and Flame" insignia and the date "10-11" behind the rear sight base. The left side of the stock is stamped with the Ordnance final inspection mark which consists of the initial "J.F.C." in a rectangle below the magazine cut-off recess. A circled script "P" proof mark is stamped on the underside of the stock behind the trigger guard finial. An "R" sub-inspection mark is stamped in the cut-off recess and "30" is lightly stamped between the trigger guard and the proof mark. The rifle is complete with a russet leather Model 1907 sling with brass keepers, pre-war casehardened front sight cover and plated oil and thong case in the butt trap. This rifle is probably one of the selected and star-gauged Model 1903 sold in limited numbers to NRA members between 1910 and 1917. The trigger guard finial is not stamped with the Ordnance "Shell and Flame/NRA" mark stamped on some Model 1903 rifles to denote government sale. The Springfield Model 1903 rifles manufactured up to about 1914 have the best fit and finish of any U.S. martial arms; the quality of the finish on these rifles equals or exceeds that found on most contemporary custom rifles. BBL: 24 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 30-06 Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: Serial Number: 486080 Condition: Near new. The rifle retains more than 98% of the original blue and casehardened finish and is in un-issued condition. The only finish wear is on the floor plate and trigger guard where the blue has thinned slightly from contact with the sling. The dark case colors on the receiver and the dull blue on the rear sight base have the original "frosted" finish that quickly disappears with handling. The bolt body and extractor have almost no cycling wear. The bolt face shows no primer marks or firing wear. The case colors of the safety lock and cut-off are vivid. The rear sight leaf has all of the original polish. The upper barrel band retains all of the high polish blue finish and there is no wear on the edges of the bayonet lug. The screw heads are in almost perfect condition with no screw-driver battering. The receiver and barrel markings are extremely sharp. The stock and handguard are in nearly new condition and show almost no handling or storage wear. The edges of the grasping grooves and cut-off recess are very sharp. The "J.F.C." final inspection stamp, "P" proof mark and sub-inspection marks are crisp. The is an exceptional example of the classic pre-WWI Springfield Model 1903 rifle with blue and casehardened finish, "S" stock with grasping grooves and "high hump" handguard. The is one of the best pre-WWI Model 1903 rifles offered for sale by the Rock Island Auction Company. It would be very hard to improve on this exceptional Model 1903 rifle

This is an example of a very early WWI U.S. Army contract Colt Model 1911 replacement pistol, that was produced in mid-1914 and subsequently rebuilt or fitted with a WWI Savage replacement slide. The frame is unusual in that it is only marked on the left side with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" in front of the slide stop pin hole, with no other U.S. Government inspector marks or proofs. (This is typical of the replacement frames) The right side of the frame has only the serial number (87407) and the top of the frame by the disconnector hole is stamped with the small "H" and "R" Sub-inspector proofs. The slide is a WWI replacement that was manufactured by the Savage Arms Company and is marked on the left side in three lines "PATENTED DEC 19, 1905,/FEB14, 1911 AUG 19, 1913,/COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO" next to the Flaming Bomb proof with a letter "S" inside, to signify manufacture by Savage, with "MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY" on the right side. The pistol has the correct WWI parts and components, such as the flat mainspring housing, wide hammer spur, checkered slide stop and thumb safety with a WWI Colt blued barrel that is stamped with the Colt "HP" connected proof on top of the chamber area. It is fitted with a set of WWI checkered walnut grips and is complete with early two-tone magazine with the lanyard loop on the base plate. Complete with a very rare commercial Audley leather holster marked on the back "AUDLEY/PATENTED/OCT. 13 1914". These Audley holsters were an early commercial holster, usually privately purchased by military officers, along with a leather belt loop for a WWI holster. These Audley holsters featured a full flap with closed toe on the holster. They also have a push-button lock inside the holster to secure the pistol. This lot also has two magazine pouches; one, an early Eagle Snap version marked on the back, "ROCK ISLAND/ARSENAL/1914/T.C.C." (empty) and the other one is a later 1918 dated MILLS canvas pouch. Inside the flap it is marked "NOV. 1918/MILLS/PAT July 07 & OCT 18". This pouch has two all blued WWII GI magazines, with a small letter "R" on the lower lip. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut checkered Serial Number: 87407 Condition: Very fine with 85% plus of the finish with edge and high spot wear overall with wear and blue loss on the front grip strap and lower section of the mainspring housing. The grips are in fine condition with nice distinct checkering with even honest wear on the tops of the checkering, and some minor nicks and dings. The colors on both the frame and slide have a nice matching dark blue/black color. The holster is very good with 85% of the original brown color overall with scuffs on the edges and high spots with nice tight stitching around the edges with some stitching coming lose on the lower edge of the spring mechanism on the front. The markings are clear and sharp. The leather pouch is also very good with a nice color overall with tight stitching with the front flap showing wear with a heavy crease/crack on the front, with the snap still intact. The leather holster, belt loop attachment are excellent and so is the later canvas magazine pouch. The two magazines are also excellent. Overall a very nice example of scarce WWI Colt Model 1911 with a Savage slide and various accessories.

This is an example of a Colt U.S. Model 1911 Pistol that was manufactured in 1918. This pistol could possibly be one of the 900 shipped to the Brooklyn Navy Yard on August 18, 1918 in the serial range of 360,329-367,114, but we cannot verify as this is a seven thousand number spread. Note that these pistols have the U.S. Army marked slide. The left side of the slide is marked with the two line, two block 1897 - 1911 patent dates and address flanking a Rampant Colt, the right side is marked "MODEL OF 1911. U.S. ARMY", and the small "H" inspection mark on the back. The left front of the frame is marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" with an "eagle/S12" proof above the magazine release and the "No." style serial number on the the right frame side. Blue barrel marked with "P" and "H" on top of the chamber. Smooth trigger, checkered magazine release, slide stop, thumb safety and hammer spur and flat mainspring housing. Checkered walnut grips with diamond pattern around the screws and unmarked two tone magazine. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number: 366338 Condition: Very fine. The pistol retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The grips are very good with some scattered minor handling marks and overall the checkering remains crisp.

Manufactured in 1943. Fixed sights, with the two line, two block Colt address and patent markings on the left side of the slide, divided by the Rampant Colt, "P" on top and a matching number under the pin stop. "G.H.D." inspected frame, with "8/VP" on the trigger guard. Checkered milled trigger, wide hammer, slide catch and thumb safety, arched mainspring housing and reinforced Coltwood grips. With a brown reproduction cardboard shipping box, hand numbered to gun. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 45 ACP Finish: parkerized Grips: plastic Serial Number: 921202 Condition: Excellent, with 97% of the original parkerized finish, showing bright wear on the high edges and lower sides of the slide, mild handling marks and a small amount of spotting. Grips are excellent, with a few dents on the sharp checkering. Box is very good, with light external wear. Blue on the barrel is 75% intact. Mechanically excellent.

This is a scarce example of a WWI era U.S. Government Model 1911 pistol frame that has been stamped with an "X" prefix replacement serial number. These replacement serial numbers were marked on various frames when they were being rebuilt due to the original serial number becoming unreadable or it was a new replacement frame that was being used and numbered to reassemble a complete pistol. This serial number falls into the block of numbers assigned to Springfield Armory from 1925-1953. This frame has the original "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" markings and the circular "W.G.P." inspector stamp of Walther G. Penfield the US Ordnance inspector from 1911-1914. Based on those two points, it's assumed that this number was restamped due to it being unreadable. The slide is a late WWII blued Model 1911A1 version, with a WWII blued Colt marked barrel. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line two-block Colt address and patent markings with the Rampant Colt in the middle with "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY" on the right.
