The face of the lock is crudely engraved with the "Crown/AR" Royal Cypher of Queen Anne (1702-1714) and stamped with the date "11" (1711) at the tip. The musket has the distinctive brass flat-faced three-screw Sea Service sidepiece. The iron trigger has a distinct curl at the tip. The simple brass trigger guard has a bulbous front tip and a plain lower finial and is secured by two screws. The round barrel has a turned breech and rectangular tang. The barrel has an iron crescent -shaped, foresight that serves as a stud for a socket bayonet. The barrel is attached to the stock by three pins. The tang screw is located in front of the trigger. The left side of the barrel is stamped with what appears to be a "Crown/P" proof or inspection mark and the numeral "1" is stamped on the center of the barrel ahead of the tang. The stock is the early 1703 Pattern that has been shortened about 4-inches to accept a socket bayonet. The stock has two brass ramrod pipes and a flat bottom brass buttplate with simple rounded toe. The bottom of the buttplate has a period brass reinforcement that has been nailed to the original buttplate. A crude anchor approximately 3 1/2-inches long and 2-inches high is carved on the left side of the stock. The stock appears to have been painted black. The stock lacks the swelled forearm and elaborate carved apron found on early Long Land Pattern Brown Bess Muskets. The musket is fitted with a wooden ramrod with rounded tip. The consigner notes that this musket is pictured in "BORDERS AWAY Vol. I" on page 160. BBL: 46 Inch Stock: walnut Gauge: 75 Finish: brown Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Good.

The carved anchor of the left side of the butt is crisp. The brass trigger guard and ramrod finials retain most of the original black paint. The bottom of the buttplate has an attractive patina. The ramrod is worn and appears to be a period piece. This is a good, apparently original, example of a rare British Dog-Lock Sea Service Musket.

	3039 Unique Virginia Manufactory Type Flintlock Rifle Start Price: 6,000.00High Bid: 5,500.00 Estimate: $15000 - 25000 Early 19th Century military flintlock rifle with stock and patch box that closely resemble the Second Model Virginia Manufactory rifle manufactured in Richmond, Virginia between 1812 and 1821. The stock is fitted with a large, plain, brass patch box secured by three screws and four pins with a round screw finial at the top of the box. The full length black walnut stock has a square cheekpiece on the left side and slightly curved brass buttplate. The Kentucky style brass trigger guard and flat brass side plate appear to be nearly identical to those on the 2nd Model Virginia Manufactory rifle. The barrel is fastened to the stock with three wedges. The stock has two brass ramrod pipes, a brass tail pipe and a brass forearm cap. The rifle has a hickory ramrod with swelled tip. The double bridle lock plate has a flat face with distinctive tip, integral fenced iron pan and flat-faced goose-neck hammer with etched borders and delicate tip. The lock has no legible markings. The rifle has a 67 caliber full octagon barrel. The barrel has a dovetail mounted iron rear sight six-inches above the breech and a dovetail mounted brass blade front sight. The left barrel flat is stamped with "US" in a sunken oval (we are not sure what this barrel is from) cartouche followed by an Eagle Head/P proofmark in a sunken oval. Although the stock and patch box are very similar to the 2nd Model Virginia Manufactory rifle; that rifle had a 46-inch, 50 caliber half-round barrel and was not U.S. proofed and inspected, the hammer and frizzen spring tip are different pattern from the Manufactory rifle and the lock plate lacks the "VIRGINIA" markings. Consigner notes state that the gun was found in St. Louis many years ago. BBL: Stock: walnut Gauge: 67 Finish: brown Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Good. The rifle shows great age and hard use. The barrel and lock have a deep brown patina with scattered surface rust and heavy flash pitting surrounding the flash hole and pan. There are illegible markings on the lock plate in front of the hammer. The brass patch box, trigger guard, side plate and ramrod pipes have a dark untouched patina. The walnut stock has a considerable gap around the edges of the lock plate. There are several hairline cracks in the stock wrist running back from the barrel tang and two larger cracks in the lower portion of the stock that run upward toward the front of the patch box. This is an interesting Virginia Manufactory Type flintlock rifle with U.S. marked barrel that clearly dates from the early 19th Century and has military associations. If this gun could talk, what a history it could tell!
	3040 British Brown Bess Musket with 1743 Dated Farmer Lock Plate and Bayonet Start Price: 1,400.00High Bid: 5,000.00 Estimate: $3500 - 5500 This is an example of an 18th Century British Brown Bess musket with 1743-dated lock by "Farmer". The lock plate has the distinctive, "banana" shape characteristic of early Brown Bess lock plates and has a single bridle screw located beneath the goose neck hammer and delicate feather shaped hammer tang. The steel or frizzen has a distinct curl at the toe and the frizzen spring has a feather-shaped tip. The edges of the lock plate, hammer, top-jaw and steel all are engraved with double line borders. The integral iron pan has a high fence. The lock plate is engraved "FARMER / 1743" in two vertical lines behind the hammer. The "Crown/GR" Royal Cypher of King George II is engraved in front of the hammer and the lock is stamped with the "Broad Arrow" property mark below the pan. The stock has the flat brass short tang, screw-fastened buttplate, flat side plate and simplified brass trigger guard utilized on Marine or Sea Service Brown Bess muskets. The trigger guard has no provision for a sling swivel and there is no sling swivel on the stock. The stock wrist has the wide, relief-carved, "beaver tail" surrounding the barrel tang but lacks the brass wrist escutcheon found on the land pattern muskets. The pin-fastened stock has two brass ramrod pipes and a brass forearm cap. The stock lacks the flared forearm and wide butt with deeply notched comb found on Long and Short Land Pattern Brown Bess muskets. The barrel has a square bayonet lug/front sight, turned breech and is stamped with the Crown view and proof marks. The number "21" is engraved on the top of the barrel ahead of the view and proof marks. What appears to be a "Crown/V" inspection mark is stamped on the underside of the stock behind the lower trigger guard finial. A "V" stocker's mark and what appear to be two inspection marks are stamped in the ramrod channel. The musket has an iron, button head, ramrod with threaded tip. The ramrod is engraved with the number "25" near the top and is stamped with several illegible marks. The musket is complete with a British Brown Bess socket bayonet with 18-inch angular blade. The flat of the blade is stamped with the maker's name "DAWES" above the number "5". "E/97" is inscribed on the top of the bayonet socket and the regimental number "67" or "57" is engraved behind the locking groove.. BBL: 42 In Stock: walnut Gauge: 75 smoothbore Finish: bright Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Good as reconverted. The barrel has a smooth, silver gray, patina. There is no significant pitting on the barrel surrounding the flash-hole but there is pitting on the pan and adjacent portions of the lock plate and hammer. The lock plate shows moderate wear with faint markings and has substantially more wear than the barrel. The musket appears to be a very old reconversion that utilized the lock plate from an early Long Land Pattern Brown Bess musket. The brass furniture has been polished and the stock has been heavily cleaned and sanded. Never-the-less, this is a scarce example of a 18th Century British Brown Bess Marine or Militia pattern flintlock musket.
	3041 Fine U.S. Contract New Haven Arms Henry Lever Action Rifle Start Price: 10,000.00High Bid: 32,500.00 Estimate: $25000 - 40000 This is a fine Henry rifle that was manufactured in November 1863 by the New Haven Arms Co., and purchased by the Ordnance Department on December 31, 1863 as part of a 800 rifle order for rifles to arm the 1st District of Columbia Cavalry regiment. The 1st D.C. Cavalry was raised in December 1863 for "special services in the District of Columbia subject only to the orders of the War Department" and initially performed provost marshal duties at the direction of Secretary of War Edward M. Stanton. In April 1864, the regiment was assigned to Kautz's Cavalry Division, Department of Virginia and North Carolina. The 1st D.C. Cavalry fought in most of the significant cavalry actions around Richmond, Virginia, during 1864. The 1st D.C. Cavalry suffered heavy casualties at Stoney Creek, Virginia, on June 24, 1864 and at Sycamore Church, Virginia, on September 15, 1864. A number of Henry rifles were lost in these actions and some of these rifles were subsequently re-issued by Confederate forces. On August 27, 1867, seven companies of the 1st D.C. cavalry were transferred to the 1st Maine Cavalry regiment and the remaining companies were reorganized into a two-company battalion. Both the 1st Maine Cavalry and the 1st D.C. Cavalry fought in the Appomattox campaign which led to the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The 1st D.C. Cavalry was the only federal unit in the Civil War that was entirely equipped with Henry rifles. The 800 Henry rifles procured for issue to the 1st D.C. Cavalry were the only Henry rifles with Ordnance inspection and sub-inspection marks on the stocks and barrels. Some of the Henry rifles purchased for issue to the 1st D.C. Cavalry were subsequently re-issued to five companies of the 3rd U.S. Veteran Volunteer Infantry (VVI) regiment in 1865. The 3rd VVI was equipped with a mixture of Sharps, Spencer and Henry rifles and the Civil War ended before the regiment saw action. This rifle is a typical mid-production Henry rifle with blued barrel, case-hardened hammer and loading lever and brass receiver and buttplate. The receiver lacks the rear sight dovetail found on Henry rifles up to serial number 3000 and has the early pattern buttplate with rounded heel. The barrel has the later style, square back, nickel-silver front sight blade and folding leaf rear sight with 900 yard center notch. The walnut stock has a factory sling swivel mounted on the left side. A factory loop for sling hook is attached to the left side of the barrel. The butt trap contains the four-piece, hickory cleaning rod issued with early and mid-production Henry rifles. The top barrel flat 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 serial number, "3526", is stamped on the top barrel flat between the rear sight and the receiver. The initials of ordnance Sub-Inspector, Charles G. Chapman ("C.G.C.") are stamped on the right side of the barrel immediately ahead of the receiver (the stamps are smaller than normally encountered). A large "C" is stamped on the left side of the barrel just ahead of the receiver; the significance of this mark is unknown. The front edge of the right side of the frame is stamped with the New Haven Arms "H" sub-inspection mark of B. Tyler Henry followed by a "C" sub-inspection mark. "C" sub-inspection marks are visible on the left side of the buttplate heel and the left side of the stock below the buttplate. The oval, script "CGC" Ordnance final inspection mark stamped on the right stock wrist is no longer visible. The serial number, "3526" is stamped on the inside of the buttplate and on the shanks of both buttplate screws. Serial number "3526" is also stamped on the left side of the lower receiver tang and in the upper tang inlet of the stock. The tang screws are, correctly, not serial numbered. All of the visible serial numbers match. BBL: 24 inch Stock: walnut Gauge: 44 Henry RF Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 3526 Condition: Fine. U.S. Contract Henry rifles were desirable weapons that were issued and typically saw heavy use both during and after the Civil War. This rifle shows light handling wear in fine condition for a U.S. Henry rifle. The barrel has traces of bright blue, with the balance a smooth, silver-gray, patina with sharp edges. The brass receiver and buttplate are un-polished and have a very attractive, mellow, mustard patina that is only acquired with age. The receiver is in very fine condition and shows only light to moderate handling wear. The side plate joints are tight and wear is limited to some minor dents along the upper edges. The hammer and loading lever have a smooth brown patina with traces of the original case colors. The barrel has a bright bore which is unusual for a Civil War Henry rifle. The stock is in very good condition. The stock has scattered shallow dents and minor handling marks that are typical of military rifles that saw service in the field. The barrel legend, serial numbers and inspection marks on the barrel, receiver and buttplate are crisp. This is a unique example of a U.S. Contract Henry rifle in the right serial range, but having some small differences such as the smaller "C.G.C." inspector stamps and the large "C" stamp on the left side of barrel. Nonetheless, it is a fine Henry rifle and will compliment any collection.

Two features that identify the Confederate Sharps, both those made by the government and those made by Robinson are the thin lock plate without the Sharp's pellet priming mechanism and the full length plate for the sling ring on the left side of the stock.

The legend is the smaller early style with "NEW HAVEN" in block letters. The serial number, "623" is stamped on the top of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver. The serial number "623" is also stamped on the inside of the buttplate heel and on the shanks of both hand-fitted buttplate screws.

	3088 Historical Sharps John Brown Model 1853 Percussion Carbine Start Price: 4,000.00High Bid: 30,000.00 Estimate: $10000 - 20000 This carbine is identified by specific serial number in Sellers book, "Sharps Firearm" on page 91 as being one of the first 100 Sharps rifles shipped to Kansas to be used by volunteers, "Border Ruffians" of John Brown's during "Bleeding Kansas". "Bleeding Kansas" was a Civil War of sorts in Kansas over whether the state would be anti-slavery or pro-slavery. One of the most famous people of "Bleeding Kansas" fame (or infamy) was John Brown. His father told him stories of farmers who had slaves and he grew angry with farmers and was against slavery. Brown planned to end slavery by attacking farms in Virginia and freeing all the slaves. Brown is best known for the Pottawatomie Massacre and the raid on armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. In 1859 Brown was tried for treason against the State of Virginia, murder and inciting a slave insurrection, was found guilty and hanged. These John Brown Sharps, as were all shipments, were shipped to Kansas in cases marked "Books" or "Bibles". The first organized attempts to procure Sharps rifles was in the spring of 1855 when an order was placed in April of 1855 by George W. Deitzler a member of one of the various Kansas Aid Societies. The shipment was delivered to Deitzler on May 7, 1855 and arrived in Lawrence, Kansas on May 23, 1855. According to Sellers, this is believed to be the first large order by any of the various Kansas Aid Societies. By marking the cases "Books" and "Bibles" they were both hiding the identity of the contents from pro-slavery people and keeping the "Aid Companies" from difficulties with the Federal and State authorities who had banned the shipping of arms to the region. Throughout the Kansas episode these guns were referred to as rifles, however all known deliveries were carbines. Historians agree that John Brown played a major role in the start of the Civil War. This carbine is marked with the three line 1852 patent marking on the lock, three line 1848 patent marking and the serial number on the upper tang and the three line address on the top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight. The barrel is fitted with a brass blade front and folding leaf rear sights.

This rifle-musket is pictured on page 264 of "THE C.S .ARMORY RICHMOND" by Paul J. Davies and was formerly part of the extensive Frederick Goldbecker collection of Richmond-produced muskets.The Richmond Armory was established late in 1861 using machinery captured from the U.S. Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. The Armory continued to operate until February 1865 when lack of gun stocks halted production. A total of 362 rifle-muskets were manufactured by the Richmond Armory in 1865. The Richmond Armory produced more longarms than all other Confederate manufacturers. These rifle-muskets followed the general configuration of the U.S. Model 1861 rifle-musket and had a distinctive 'humpback' lock plate. The Type III rifle- muskets had a distinctive humpback lock plate with a lower profile than earlier lockplates. Manufactured from 1862 to the end of production in February 1865, Type III rifle-muskets were entirely of Confederate manufacture. The lock plate is marked "CS/RICHMOND VA" in two lines ahead of the hammer and dated "1865" vertically behind the hammer. The "I" in "RICHMOND" is, correctly missing the serif on the lower left side. The top of the barrel is dated "1864" in front of the tang and stamped with "V/P/Eagle Head" proof and inspection marks on the left flat.

The barrel date and proof marks are light but legible and the lock markings are fully legible. The action is very good. This is a good original example of the scarcest of all the very desirable Richmond Armory produced rifle-muskets in typical well-used condition of a Confederate small arm.

The engraving covers the rear third of the barrel and lug, the loading lever flats, the bottom and edges of the trigger guard, the entire frame and hammer and the heel and upper portion of the back strap.

This finish was more durable to the harsh elements of the salt water and would be one of the explanations for this to have been applied. (The other possibility could be that it was a presentation piece, which would explain the absence of a cartouche; you be the judge). Features also include a pinched front sight and a folding leaf rear sight graduated to 800 yards. All nickel finish. The single brass barrel band, trigger guard and buttplate and mounted with an oil finish walnut stock, fitted with a saddle ring bar with ring on the left flat. Of the 1,500 manufactured 1,200 are known to have been sold to the U.S., leaving only 300 for public sale. The Model 1855 was the last firearm made by the A.H. Waters company. BBL: 22 1/2 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 54 Finish: nickel Grips: Serial Number: 629 Condition: Very fine with 70% plus untouched original plating remains overall.

	3156 Exceptional Civil War Tower Pattern 1856 Percussion Short Rifle Start Price: 1,400.00High Bid: 2,500.00 Estimate: $3500 - 5500 This Tower Pattern 1856 Short Rifle was manufactured in Birmingham, England, for export to the United States c. 1862. The rifle has a blued barrel, lock, forearm tip, trigger guard and buttplate. The blued, iron, forearm tip, trigger guard and buttplate distinguish the Pattern 56 Short Rifle from the Pattern 53 Rifle-Musket which had brass furniture. The right side of the barrel has a lug for a sword bayonet. The barrel has a block mounted iron front sight blade and adjustable folding leaf back sight with 400 yard base and 1100 center notch. The barrel is secured by two screw fastened bands. The oil finished, English walnut stock has the lower sling swivel mounted behind the trigger guard finial. A brass and leather nipple protector is mounted on the trigger guard finial ahead of the trigger guard bow. The flat, flush-mounted lock plate is stamped with the British Crown behind the hammer and "TOWER" in front of it. The maker's or exporter's name "F. PRESTON" is stamped in small block letters on the left side of the upper barrel band. The top of the barrel is stamped with three British export proof and view marks on either side of two "25" gauge marks. These are the correct view, proof and gauge markings for rifles and muskets exported from Great Britain to the United States during the Civil War. The rifle was manufactured by the Birmingham gunmaking trade for export and has no British military "Broad Arrow" or other property marks. Popularly known as the "Sergeants Rifle", the Pattern 56 Short Rifle was adopted by the British Army in 1856 and issued to the 60th Rifle Regiment, the Rifle Brigade and Sergeants in line infantry regiments. During the Civil War, Pattern 56 Short Rifles were imported by both the United States and Confederate governments. The Ordnance Department and northern state governments (notably Massachusetts) purchased approximately 8000 Pattern 56 Short Rifles during the Civil War. Approximately half of these rifles were imported by Colt and Schuyler Hartley & Graham. By February 1863, the Confederacy had imported 9,715 Pattern 56 Short rifles from Great Britain. In comparison with the more than 900,000 Pattern 1853, Enfield Rifle-Muskets imported for issue to the Union and Confederate Armies during the Civil War, Pattern 56 Short Rifles are rare. These light, handy, rifles were popular with troops. Export-marked Pattern 56 rifles like this example are rarely encountered with any original finish. BBL: 33 inch round Stock: walnut Gauge: 577 percussion Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: NSN Condition: Very fine. The barrel, lock, trigger guard and buttplate retain 90% of the original blue finish and show only minor handling wear.

The action is crisp. The bore is dark from age but the rifling is crisp and shows no significant wear. The lock and barrel markings are extremely sharp. The stock is in very good condition; the edges of the flats around the lock, barrel channel and ramrod channel are sharp. There is an old, minor and nearly undetectable repair on the right stock heel at the junction with the buttplate heel. The ramrod is period but a replacement. The balance of the stock shows minimal storage and handling marks. This is a very fine example of a scarce Civil War Tower Pattern 56 Short Rifle.

	3170 The Finest B Company Marked U.S. Walker Model 1847 Colt Revolver Known Start Price: 120,000.00High Bid: 300,000.00 Estimate: $300000 - 600000 This is an extraordinary example of a U.S. Colt B Company Walker Model Revolver that was manufactured in 1847 at facilities owned by Eli Whitney, Jr. The Walker Model Colt design was developed by Samuel Colt in 1846 and influenced in part by suggestions from the former Texas Ranger Samuel Hamilton Walker who was serving as a Captain in the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen. On December 7, 1846 Colt met with President James K. Polk to promote his revolver. President Polk directed Secretary of War William L. Marcy to order 1000 revolvers from Colt thru the Ordnance Department. This order marked the beginning of the relationship between Colt and the U.S. military which exists to this day. Colt made arrangements for the revolvers to be manufactured by Eli Whitney at the Whitneyville Armory. The original intent was to issue two revolvers per man to the Mounted Rifle Regiment; the revolvers were marked "A Company-E Company" and numbered 1-110. Whitney manufactured 220 pairs of revolvers marked "A Company-D Company" and 120 revolvers marked "E Company" for a total of 1000 revolvers. The first Walker Model Revolvers arrived at the Ordnance Depot in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in October of 1847. The First Regiment, Texas Mounted Volunteers commanded by Colonel John Hays was issued 394 Walker Model Revolvers marked A, B and C Company on October 19-26, 1847. The Texas Mounted Volunteers used the Walker Model Revolvers hard in numerous encounters with Mexican guerilla forces. Only 82 serviceable were turned in when the Texas Mounted Rifles were mustered out of Federal service in 1848. Captain Samuel Walker was killed in action at Huamantla, Mexico, before the Regiment of Mounted Rifles received the revolvers he helped to design. At the conclusion of the Mexican War, most of the remaining Walker Model Revolvers were issued to the 2nd Dragoon Regiment on the Texas frontier. The massive, hard-hitting Walker Model Revolvers were highly desirable weapons that saw hard service in the Southwest in the years that followed the Mexican War. This impressive revolver has a 9 inch half-octagon barrel, 2 7/16 inch six-shot cylinder and weighs 4 pounds, 9 ounces. The barrel and iron back strap were originally blue, the loading lever, frame and hammer casehardened and the cylinder was bright. The revolver has a brass square-back wide bottom trigger guard and one-piece black walnut "Slim Jim" grip. The loading lever has a rounded end and is secured by a T-shaped barrel mounted spring which slot thru a channel in the lever lug. The cylinder has a single locking pin that engages a hole in the base of the hammer. The barrel has a German silver front sight blade. The top flat of the barrel lug is roll-stamped "ADDRESS SAML COLT, NEW-YORK CITY" in bold letters reading from the breech to the muzzle. "US/1847" is roll-stamped on the right side of the barrel lug with the date partially covered by the wedge screw. "B COMPANY No 8" is roll-stamped on the left side of the barrel lug above the wedge slot in large letters. The left side of the frame and the bottom of the back strap has the identical "B COMPANY No 8" marking. The bottom of the trigger guard is marked "B COMyNo 8" in small letters stamped perpendicular to the axis of the bore. The cylinder is roll-engraved with the Ranger and Indian battle scene, "MODEL U.S.M.R./COLT'S PATENT" and "W.L. Ormsby Sc N.Y." "B COM-Y No 8" is stamped on the side and "8" on the bottom of the cylinder arbor pin. The rear face of the cylinder is numbered "448". This would make this the 448th revolver made as Colt reportedly made the 220 C Companies first, the 220 A Companies second, thus expending 440 numbers. Next would be the B Companies, with this example being the 8th one produced, thus number 448. All of the visible numbers match. A "B" Ordnance sub-inspection mark is stamped on the front edge of the cylinder and on the back strap. The wedge is not marked. The Ordnance final inspection stamp which consists of the script initials "WAT" with an oval border is visible on the lower right grip heel. The Ordnance sub-inspectors stamp consisting of three script initial (JCB?) in an oval is stamped on the lower grip heel (only the final letter "B" is legible). BBL: 9 inch part octagon Stock: Gauge: 44 percussion Finish: blue/casehardened Grips: cartouched walnut Serial Number: 8 Condition: Very fine. The revolver is all original and is in outstanding condition for a U.S. contract Walker Model 1847 Revolver. The surfaces of the barrel and lug have strong traces of original blue and are mostly crisp with edge wear and some very minor flash pitting at the muzzle and on the sides of the lug adjacent to the cylinder. The Colt address, company marking, date and U.S. 1847 marks are crisp and clear. The frame has an attractive silver-gray patina. The sides of the frame are smooth. There is light flash pitting on the left recoil shield and heaver pitting in the hammer well. The company markings on the left side of the frame are clear. The cylinder retains nearly all of the original Ranger and Indian scene with crisp company and sub-inspection marks. The cylinder nipples and face have moderate flash pitting and the safety pin is battered. The hammer has a dark patina and shows moderate flash pitting on the sides. The brass trigger guard has an attractive "mustard yellow" age patina with crisp company markings. The bottom of the back strap has a number of shallow sings with the company marking remaining very fine. The sub-inspection mark of the middle of the back strap is crisp. The loading lever has been repaired and lengthened many years ago and has naturally aged with a brown patina overall. The grip is in very fine condition with moderate handling wear. There are a number of dings and scratches on the butt and the lower edges of the grip are correctly round. Both the ordnance final inspector's and sub-inspector's stamps on the grip heels are visible. This is an exceptional example of the most important and desirable of all Colt firearms. Few original Colt Walker Model Revolvers are known to collectors; many of these are in relic condition with illegible or restored markings and significant replacement parts. This is a very fine example of a U.S. contract Colt Walker Model that would be the centerpiece of the most advance firearms collection. Writer truly believes this example to be the finest Walker Revolver that our auction company has ever offered.

Moores & Sons on July 4, 1876. These eight revolvers are the only Model 1871-72 Open Top revolvers that were factory engraved. The letter lists the finish as "nickel" and states that the revolver was factory engraved. The type of stocks furnished with the revolver are not listed in the letter. The revolver has a full nickel-plated finish and is fitted with a one-piece ivory grip. The barrel, frame, trigger guard and back strap are decorated with factory scroll engraving on a punch-dot background. The barrel legend and Colt "1871" and "1872" patent dates are enclosed in engraved panels. The engraving on the bottom of the barrel lug and trigger guard covers the serial numbers. Colt Model 1871-72 Open Top revolver serial number 1970 was in the same lot of eight revolvers shipped to J.P. Moores on July 4, 1876, and is illustrated on page 158 of "THE BOOK OF COLT ENGRAVING" by R.L. Wilson. Wilson describes the engraving on serial number 1970 as, "a flowery scroll design which may have been done by one of the younger craftsmen. But, nevertheless, one of the rarest deigns in the study of Colt firearms engraving". The engraving on this revolver is nearly identical to that on serial number 1970 and appears to have been executed by the same craftsman. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the one-line legend: "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-". "-PAT. JULY.25. 1871.-/-PAT.

Moores on July 4, 1876, were intended for display at the Independence Day celebration and Centennial display in New York City. The revolvers were serial numbers: 1932, 1970, 1982, 1983, 1992, 1993, 2003 and 2004. This revolver and serial number 1970 were both located on the Texas/Mexican border. BBL: 7 1/2 inch round Stock: Gauge: 44 RF Finish: nickel Grips: ivory Serial Number: 2003 Condition: Very fine as restored. The revolver has been carefully polished and the barrel lengthened, with half of the original nickel-plated finish remaining on the balance. The engraving is crisp.

Most of the finish loss is concentrated on the sides of the trigger guard and cylinder. There is scattered light pitting on the back strap and hammer. The bottom of the back strap is drilled and tapped for a lanyard ring which has been removed. The cylinder retains approximately 85% of the Texas Navy scene. The one-piece ivory grip is in fine condition. The ivory has a very attractive patina, shows minimal shrinkage and is free from chips. Wear is limited to some minor, hair-line age cracks on the butt. Colt manufactured only about 7000 Model 1871-72 Open Top revolvers and surviving examples are scarce. Colt factory records show that only eight Model 1871-72 revolvers were factory engraved. This revolver, serial number 2003, serial number 1970 and serial number 1992 are the only known Colt factory engraved Model 1871-72 revolvers extant. This rare and extremely desirable Colt revolver is a prize that would occupy a place of honor in the finest Colt collection.

This example is of the original first models and was one of the very last pistols produced with this conversion unit.

During the Civil War, Chase sided with the Confederates and was commissioned as a colonel in the Florida militia. The Florida Governor authorized Chase to seize all Union forts in Pensacola but the Colonel failed to seize Fort Pickens which remained in Union control throughout the war.

The factory letter further states that this is one of eight Model 1871-72 Open Top revolvers shipped to J.P. Moores & Sons in New York City on July 4, 1876.

The serial numbers of the eight revolvers are 1932, 1970, 1982, 1983, 1992, 1993, 2003 and 2004. These eight revolvers are the only Model 1871-72 Open Top revolvers identified in Colt records as being factory engraved. Serial number 1992, along with numbers 1970 and 2003 are the only surviving factory engraved Model 1871-1872 Open Top revolvers. This revolver was formerly part of the Mel Torme collection. The revolver has a full nickel-plated finish with one-piece ivory grip. The revolver is decorated with scroll engraving on a punch-dot background. The engraving is nearly identical to Open Top serial number 1970 which is illustrated on page 158 of "THE BOOK OF COLT ENGRAVING" by R.L. Wilson. The description of the revolver in "THE BOOK OF COLT ENGRAVING" states that the engraving is documented factory engraving that dates from around 1872-74. Wilson describes the engraving style as: "A rather flowery scroll design" which is "one of the rarest designs in the study of Colt firearms engraving". The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the one-line legend: "-ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA-" in a panel with engraved borders.

Colt manufactured approximately 7000 T Model 1871-72Open Top Revolvers. C.D. Terry has researched the Open-Top Model for 55 years and has found that number to be closer to 5,300. Only eight of these revolvers were factory engraved and only three examples survive today. This is a unique opportunity to obtain one or all of the rarest factory engraved Colt revolvers. BBL: 7 1/2 inch Stock: Gauge: 44 RF Finish: nickel Grips: ivory Serial Number: 1992 Condition: Very fine. The revolver has been professionally restored and presents an outstanding appearance.

The grip is in fair-good overall condition. The ivory has yellowed with age and has several small patches of brown discoloration. The grip has shrunk slightly and there are several areas of deterioration along the inside of the grip strap. The grip heel has several hairline age cracks.

The rifle has a blued octagon barrel with integral 15-shot magazine, brass receiver and buttplate and oil-finished walnut stock. The hammer and loading lever have a color casehardened finish.

The rear sight is the fourth variation (Quick p. 122) with 900 yard center notch and and elevation bar retaining screw at the top of the leaf. The brass receiver is the second patter which lacks the alternate rear sight dovetail found on Henry receivers to about serial number 3100. The brass buttplate is the later pattern with sharply pointed heel that was introduced about serial number 5100. The buttplate has has a hinged trap. The stock and barrel are not fitted with sling swivels; sling swivels were not made standard on Henry rifles until mid-late 1864.

Tyler Henry. Although only 1,731Henry rifles were purchased by the Ordnance Department during the Civil War, experts believe that most of the Henry rifles manufactured between 1862 and 1865 were privately purchased by soldiers during the war. Large number of Henry rifles were purchased by federal soldiers from Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky during the last two years of the war and Henry rifles were popular with soldiers in other midwestern regiments. After the war the Henry rifle was very popular on the western frontier. As a result, most war-time production Henry rifles show the effects of hard use. High condition examples of Henry rifles manufactured between 1862 and 1865 are difficult to find.

Nearly all of the original oil finish is intact. Wear is limited to some very minor handling and storage marks. This is a very fine example of a Civil War production Henry rifle that would be a stand-out piece in any Civil War or Winchester rifle collection.
	3289 Documented, Important, Paris Exposition Universelle Grand-Prix Champion Factory Engraved Gold and Ni Start Price: 14,000.00High Bid: 50,000.00 Estimate: $35000 - 75000 This is a rare example of a Deluxe, John Ulrich signed factory engraved, Winchester Third Model 1873 Lever Action Carbine that was manufactured in 1888. This carbine serial number 288974 was exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris, the L' EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE of 1889. The fair which has held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, the event credited for the start of the French Revolution. The L' EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE of 1889 is still considered one of the most marvelous and most important exhibitions of all times. It was for this exhibition that the Eiffel tower was commissioned which stood as the entrance to the fair and in 1889 was the tallest man made structure in the world. Exhibitors and displays were judged by juries of experts in each respective field. "Grand-Prix" was awarded to the best in each class then gold and silver respectively. Mr. Gastinne-Renette the renowned Paris gunmaker served as the foreman of the jury, responsible for judging the firearms displays. Mr. Renette in his official report on the fair gave credit to the "superiority of the United States for wholesale manufacture of repeating arms." It was the United States policy that all U.S.exhibiters be overseen by the State Department. In total, exhibitors from the United States received twelve gold medals among them were; "Colt's firearms Manufacturing Company of Hartford" and "Smith & Wesson of Springfield." The United States was only awarded two Grand-Prix champions; John B. Stetson & Co. of Philadelphia for "hats" and lastly The Winchester Repeating Arms Company of New Haven, for "firearms". The original solid gold Grand-Prix champions medallion still accompanies this carbine. Weighing .05 oz the champions medallion depicts the fair on one face with and is serial numbered to the carbine on the other and reads: "WINCHESTER/NEW-HAVEN/GRAND-PRIX/288974." All features of this carbine are verified by a factory letter which lists no shipping date but places the order number as "Paris". Given the serial number, this rifle was manufactured in 1888, one year prior to the fair. The saddle ring carbine has a nickel trim barrel, and magazine with block mounted front sight and folding adjustable leaf rear sight. The barrel bands, receiver,dust cover and buttplate are gold plated. The receiver has the integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated edges. The buttplate has a sliding trap door. The trigger, hammer and lever have a color case-hardened finish. The loading gate is niter blued. The stock and forearm are highly figured, fancy grade, walnut with "Style H" checkering. Internally, small assembly numbers are placed on many of the component parts. This feature to the writers knowledge of professional hand fitting each part and numbering them is limited to the 1 of 1000 rifles. The engraving on this carbine has a list price of $4.00. The receiver, dust cover, bottom of the cartridge elevator and heel of the buttplate are decorated with engraved scroll work, borders and two game scenes in circular panels on the sideplates. The right sideplate features a running rabbit and the left scene depicts a white tail buck. "J.ULRICH" is engraved in tiny block letters behind the trigger. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped with the two-line legend: "WINCHESTER'S-REPEATING-ARMS NEW HAVEN CT./KING'S-IMPROVEMENT-PATENTED-MARCH 29. 1866. OCTOBER 16. 1860" between the lower barrel band and the rear sight. The bottom of the cartridge elevator is engraved "44-40" surrounded by scroll engraving. The upper receiver tang is roll-stamped: "{ MODEL 1873}" in fancy letters with foliate designs at either end with a line-engraved border. The serial number, "288974" is engraved on the lower tang and surrounded by engraved flourishes. The engraving is simple in comparison with some of John Ulrich's work but executed with the same skill and attention to detail as his most elaborate engraving. Also included with this carbine is an original three volume set of books which catalog the Fair (in french), and also contain rare diagrams and drawings from the fair. Also accompanied by a letter from Firearms expert and world famous author R.L. Wilson. For further reading on the fair see "Reports of the United States Commissioners to the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris Vol. I." BBL: 20 inch Stock: walnut checkered Gauge: 44-40 Finish: gold/nickel-plated Grips: Serial Number: 288974 Condition: Very fine plus. As in the case with other exhibition guns this carbine appears to have been factory refinshed. A practice done by Winchester between fairs and exhibition and it would not be unfair to speculate that this very carbine may have been on display in Chicago in 1893. The carbine retains 85% of the nickel and gold plated finish. The bore is like new. The barrel and magazine have nearly all of the nickel-plated finish with traces of very minor flaking. The barrel bands, receiver, dust cover and buttplate have 70% of the gold plated finish. The plating is thin on the barrel bands, bottom and forward edges of the receiver and center of the side plates. Most of the gold plated finish has thinned on the buttplate. The flawlessly executed engraving is crisp. The stock and forearm are both in fine condition and retain most of the original low-luster finish. The checkering on the forearm and stock wrist is sharp. The stock and forearm show light handling marks and storage wear. Mechanically the carbine is excellent plus and functions as smooth and flawless as a Swiss watch thanks in part to the hand fitted internal component parts. This is a spectacular, historical, prize winning, deluxe Winchester Model 1873 Carbine; factory engraved and signed by master engraver John Ulrich and witnessed one of the most lavish events of the 19th century.

	3295 Fine and Rare Smith & Wesson Lever Action Magazine Pistol Start Price: 6,000.00High Bid: 17,000.00 Estimate: $15000 - 25000 Predecessor to the more frequently encountered brass frame "Volcanic", this is a rare example of the 4 inch 31 caliber "lever action magazine pistol" manufactured by Smith & Wesson Repeating Arms Company which began manufacturing in 1854. The company company would be reorganized a year later, 1855, as the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company and the rest is history. Smith & Wesson focused their efforts to design and produce a pistol that could fire the self contained metallic cartridge using Rollin Whites bored through cylinder. While the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company would become the subsequent birth of the Winchester Repeating Rifle Company. Relatively little information is known about exact numbers of production, this pistol features the two line parallel barrel address on the top flat marked "SMITH & WESSON/ NORWICH CT." on the top barrel flat. The left flat is marked with the patent information in two lines "PATENT/FEB. 14 1854". The right flat is stamped upside down "CAST-STEEL". The frame, hammer, and grip strap feature the typical open scroll and vine motifs. The serial number "356" is stamped on the right side of the ring trigger lever and on the ring trigger lever link. This ring trigger does not feature the common finger spur, shows no sign of tampering, and some literature suggests this as a special order feature. Complete with "bag" style varnished wood grips. For further reading see; Roy Jinks "History of Smith & Wesson" and Supica and Nahas "Standard, matching serialized Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 2nd edition".

All of the visible serial numbers match. Volcanic carbines and pistols were key elements in the development of U.S. repeating firearms. The Volcanic, self-contained "Rocket-ball" cartridge was one of the very first cartridges to combine the projectile, powder and primer into one unit. The Volcanic integral, spring-loaded magazine and lever-action provided the model for the highly successful Henry and Winchester lever-action rifle designs. Finally the Volcanic repeating Arms Company and it's successor the New Haven Arms Company, launched clothing manufacturer Oliver Winchester's career in firearms manufacturing and were the predecessors to Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Although, the New Haven Arms Co., manufactured fewer than 1000 between 1857 and 1860; these carbines are among the most historically significant U.S. firearms. BBL: 21 inch Stock: walnut Gauge: 41 Volcanic Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 10 Condition: Very fine. The carbine retains 75% plus of the original blue finish on the barrel and magazine.

The engraving on this volcanic is not a factory pattern, however, mirrors the pattern and quality of one of the most recognized and famous firearms in the world, the Lincoln Presentation Henry Rifle which now resides in the Smithsonian Museum. The engraving is done by the hand of a master and certainly is in the Nimschke style. Whether or not it was done by Nimschke himself has not been determined, but it is certainly of his quality and technique. The sides and top of the brass receiver are fully covered with deluxe scroll engraving on a punch-dot background. The tight, intricately detailed scrollwork extends to the back strap and butt with a small scrollwork flourish on the underside of the receiver below the cartridge elevator.

The two-line patent markings are located behind the trigger and the serial number "817" is stamped on the lower tang between the screws. First model or "Flat Side' Model 1895 rifles were made in limited numbers (approximately 5000 rifles) and author George Madis estimated in "THE WINCHESTER BOOK" that only 1 in every 1400 Model 1895 rifles was fitted with a pistol grip stock; deluxe, fancy walnut pistol grip stocks with checkering are rarer still. BBL: 28 inch Stock: walnut Gauge: 30-40 Krag Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 817 Condition: Partially refurbished. The barrel has been re-blued and shows scattered light pitting. The receiver retains 30% of the original blue finish; the balance is a plum-brown patina with some high point wear. The rear sight may be a period replacement and the receiver sight is probably a later addition. The recheckered stock and forearm are both in good condition. This is a solid example of a Winchester First Model 1895 Rifle with rare special order features.
	3320 Early Production Civil War Era New Haven Arms Henry Rifle Start Price: 8,000.00High Bid: 20,000.00 Estimate: $20000 - 30000 Produced circa February-March of 1863, with a first pattern brass receiver which is slotted for a rear sight. German silver blade front sight and 900 yard folding ladder rear sight, with a factory sling ring on the left side, "HENRY'S PATENT. OCT. 16. 1860/MANUFACTURED BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS.CO. NEWHAVEN.CT." on the top barrel flat ahead of the rear sight, and "1775" behind. This number is repeated on the left side of the lower tang, the inside surface of the buttplate, on the stock inside the upper tang inlet, and is hand stamped on the buttplate and upper tang screws. The lower tang also bears a "U" inspection mark. Later pattern loading lever, with a spur for the visibly threaded retention latch. Smooth straight wrist stock, with a factory sling swivel on the left side and a round heel buttplate. According to Wiley Sword's "The Historic Henry Rifle", 50 Henry rifles in the 1300-2100 serial number range were purchased by the Ordnance Department for issue to the 1st D.C. Cavalry and shipped to the Army on June 19, 1863. Acquired from New Haven's commercial stock, these arms would not bear Ordnance inspection marks. Sword also notes that Henry rifles serial numbered 1732 and 1798 were listed as issued to the 3rd Regiment, U.S. Veteran Volunteer Infantry in early 1865. Though not confirmed as an U.S. issued Henry rifle, the production time and serial number would be appropriate for an early Henry rifle as acquired for the 1st D.C. Cavalry and subsequently re-issued to the U.S. Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiments that were organized in early 1865. BBL: 24 inch octagon Stock: walnut Gauge: 44 Henry RF Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 1775 Condition: Very good plus, showing an even patina on the receiver and butt plate, with slight high point wear, and a dark patina on the hammer, lever and trigger.

All of the visible serial numbers match. The sides and top of the receiver, upper receiver tang and buttplate heel are factory engraved with large, open scroll work and punch-mark borders. The engraving is nearly identical to the engraving on Volcanic pistol serial number 1159 pictured on page 9 of WINCHESTER ENGRAVING by R.L. Wilson. The limited production Volcanic carbines and pistols are scarce and historically significant firearms. The Volcanic lever action design was the predecessor to the successful and popular Henry and Winchester lever-action rifles, the Volcanic 'rocket-ball' cartridge was one of the very first self-contained small arms cartridges and the New Haven Arms Co., was shirt-manufacturer Oliver Winchester's entry into the firearms business.

The engraved scrollwork on the receiver and buttplate is crisp. The stock has been refurbished,slightly smaller around the upper and lower tang but is in very good condition with minimal handling wear. This is a very good scarce, factory-engraved, Volcanic lever-action carbine.

The action is very good.

	3333 Colorful Old West Winchester 1866 Third Model Lever Action Rifle Start Price: 1,800.00High Bid: 11,000.00 Estimate: $4500 - 7000 This is an example of an original, Winchester 1866 lever action rifle, that remains in the original, unmessed with "Attic Find" condition exactly as it was found. The Model 1866 Winchester Rifle was essentially a Henry Rifle with improvements invented and patented by Winchester's shop superintendent Nelson King in 1866. The modified magazine with the side loading gate, and new walnut forearm eliminated the primary defects in the Henry rifle and created a lever action rifle that has been associated with the name "Winchester", and the opening of the Western frontier. In fact these rifles were still being used well into the early 1900s in some parts of the west. This rifle was actually produced in late 1869, and based on the serial number, this is a very early third model rifle that still retains the more gradual receiver drop ahead of the hammer but still retains the script style serial numbers located directly behind the trigger. The top of the barrel has the Second Model barrel markings: "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS NEW HAVEN CT./KING'S- IMPROVEMENT-PATENTED-MARCH 29 1866, OCT.16 1860". The rifle has the desirable early/intermediate features that include: (1) threaded magazine cap, (2) recessed chamber, (3) a period replaced fixed buckhorn style rear sight, (4) indented loading gate retained by a single screw, (5) second pattern squared brass forend tip secured by a single screw, (6) third pattern, coarsely knurled hammer without the half-cock notch, (7) small size loading lever, and (8) the early, unaltered rimfire style firing pin. The third pattern brass receiver is flared at the junction with the forearm and the stock is retained by a single upper tang screw, and as noted it has the script style serial number located on the lower tang directly behind the trigger. The crescent brass buttplate has a hinged trap with a non-matching serial number stamped on the back. The rifle has a blue barrel, magazine tube, rear sight, bolt and loading gate. It is fitted with the original walnut stock and forearm, with factory sling swivels on the lower buttstock and forend cap. BBL: 24 1/2 inch octagon Stock: walnut Gauge: 44 Henry RF Finish: blue Grips: Serial Number: 27799 Condition: Good overall and as noted this rifle remains in original unaltered condition with all the beautiful dark brown aged patina on the receiver. The majority of the screw heads are still untouched and unbuggered with that wonderful built up dirt and oil that can't be duplicated which accumulates from over 100 years of use out on the frontier, with the two or three other screws having been tightened years ago that have now complete oxidized and browned out. The brass receiver and brass buttplate as noted have completely oxidized and browned out with years of dark hardened dirt and oil built up around the screw heads, raised edges of the side plate and raised areas of the frame, trigger and hammer area. The blue on the barrel, magazine tube and loading lever have browned out and appears as a dark brown, hard oxidized finish. The is a light peppery type of fine pitting up and down the barrel and magazine tube in various spots, exactly as you would expect to see from years and years of actual use out west and from being in a saddle scabbard. This type of finish and condition is impossible to duplicate and actually complements the dark brown finish, giving credence to the originality of this rifle. The stock and forend are also in original untouched condition, with both items showing a nice dark brown matching finish or color overall, with years of light scratches, pressure dents, dings and gouges. The stock and forend both fit tight to the metal, just showing some minor shrinkage to the age of the wood, again giving 100% credence to the originality of this rifle. Both upper edges or sides of the forend next to the barrel, shows more wear and loss of wood, again from years of use on the western frontier. The rifle is missing the front sling swivel. A wonderful example of an original, unmessed with Winchester Model 1866 Yellow Boy rifle.

The majority were made with the Low Wall action, however some High Wall actions were used on larger caliber carbines. These carbines were often called "Baby Carbines" and were offered in 32, 38, and 44W.C.F. calibers, with 44 being the standard caliber after 1898. This particular carbine was manufactured in 1898 and features a 20" round barrel with a blade front and folding ladder rear sight graduated to 900 yards. The top of the barrel is marked "-MANUFACTURED BY THE / -WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A.-" ahead of the rear sight and "32 W.C.F." at the breech.

Research done by the consignor reveals that only 6 Model 1885 carbines were manufactured in 32 W.C.F. caliber in this configuration, all being shipped to New Zealand, making this carbine even rarer.

	3400 Excellent, Exceptionally Rare, 711 Removable Magazine Semi-Automatic Broomhandle Mauser Pistol Start Price: 6,000.00High Bid: 25,000.00 Estimate: $15000 - 30000 This is an exceptionally rare example of an all original Mauser 711 semi-automatic pistol that was manufactured with the detachable Mauser box magazine without a shoulder stock slot on the rear grip strap. This Model 711 pistol was produced in the early 1930s with the serial numbers generally intermixed with the 712 Schnellfeuer production model and it is estimated that no more than "10" of these pistols were actually produced and imported into this country with very few original examples being identified to date. These were originally imported or sold through the A.F. Stoeger company, the only authorized Mauser importer prior to WWII, and the reason this model is so rare is that the 1932 Omnibus Crime act banned or restricted the ownership of both fully automatic weapons along with the stocked pistol. Hence the reason for the "unmachined" rear frame back strap. This serial number falls right in line with the noted examples on page 152 of the book "System Mauser" by Breathed and Schroeder. These all have the early prewar high polished blue finish with an almost flat milled panel sides. The right side is marked "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER/OBERNDORF A. NECKAR/D.R.P. u. A.R." with the center panel marked, "MADE IN GERMANY" with the left side bearing only the "Mauser Banner" logo farther back towards the rear of the frame. The top of the chamber area is stamped wit the standard three line "Waffenfabrik/Mauser Oberndorf a.N" markings with a single "Crown/U" proof on the left side of the chamber. The serial number is stamped on the rear upper edge of the barrel extension directly behind the rear sight. It has the standard 12 groove walnut grips that are unmarked on the back sides. It is fitted with an original lanyard ring on the butt with one, original 10 shot detachable magazine that is marked on the base plate with the large "Mauser Banner" logo. BBL: 5 1/2 inch Stock: Gauge: 7.63 mm Mauser auto Finish: blue Grips: walnut Serial Number: 84658 Condition: Excellent overall with 98% plus of the original blue finish with only very minor edge wear on the front edges of the upper frame and muzzle area. The grips are excellent with nice color on both sides with only minor handling marks. There are some batter marks present on the rear of barrel extension, forward of the breech bolt. A rare and superb condition, seldom encountered, Mauser pistol with the rare removable magazine.
	3401 Interesting Prototype "Concealed Hammer" Single Action Semi-Automatic Pistol with "Reciprocating Sli Start Price: 4,000.00High Bid: 2,750.00 Estimate: $10000 - 20000 This is certainly a "one of a kind" semi-automatic pistol that appears to be a continuation of the late Walther MP concealed hammer, pistol program but it is based on using the later and more refined standard pre-war "HP" or later P38 pistol design. The Walther factory reportedly was continually working on this concealed hammer design, primarily for the military and as such produced several configurations as concept evaluation or prototype designs. Some of these are identified in the excellent reference book Vol. 1 of the P-38 by Buxton, however, this specific prototype pistol, has never been seen before nor identified in any of the captured Walther documents. This could certainly have been the final attempt by the Walther factory to produce a successful concealed hammer designed pistol. Speculation is that this design was a continuation or reintroduction of the concealed hammer program that was initially started with the "MP" models. There are similarities of this pistol and the standard "HP and or later P38" designs that can be readily identified in the accompanying pictures and as follows: 1) this pistol has a standard, late style frame with both recoil springs located inside the frame, the Lanyard loop holes have been filled, 2) it has the standard single, swinging locking block, with standard push pin 3) the take down lever is exactly like an HP or P38 in that is has the grooved head on the lever, 4) and the slide release lever also has the standard early configuration with the grooved lever, 5) the internal components such as the trigger, sear, disconnector, hammer strut, main spring and magazine release all appear to be exactly like the standard early HP or P38 pistol. However, that where the similarities end and the uniqueness of this pistol design starts. The four most notable or unique features of this model, as can be seen in the accompanying pictures and described below are that this model has, 1) a slide that is approximately 1 1/4 inch shorter than a standard slide that has a unique firing pin assembly, 2) the front section of the slide actually telescopes or reciprocates into the rear frame housing. If you note in the pictures, the rear half of the slide has been machined down approximately 1/32 of an inch on both sides which allow the slide to telescope into the rear frame housing, 3) it has the early concealed hammer design with an elongated hammer that extends into the rear of the frame housing, 4) the rear section of the frame is actually a sheet metal housing that is pinned onto the frame, that enclose the rear end of the slide and coves the concealed hammer design. As can also be seen in the pictures, with this shortened slide and concealed hammer design Walther eliminated the safety lever and safety mechanism entirely which allowed them to shorten the rear section of the slide. This necessitated a further redesign of the firing pin assembly, which on this model Walther incorporated a small, separate steel block that acts as the contact point to actually cock the internal hammer and also acts as the firing pin retaining block. It appears that the firing pin is pushed in and probably rotated to remove it out the rear of the firing pin block and then the firing pin block slides down-ward at an angle and out of the slide. The firing pin is a completely round version and there is no loaded indicator in the slide, and it has the later external extractor on the left hand side. You will also note that there is no rear sight and no top cover on the slide. These were eliminated and instead there is a deep radius or groove in the top of the slide that acts as a guide rib that matches the dished recess in the top of the sheet metal housing noted above. The sheet metal housing itself appears to have been fabricated in two-piece; with the front section a simple sheet metal stamping that was bent or formed over a step die that has had a second flat stamping welded onto the rear end of the housing. By looking inside to the rear of the housing this describer was able to see some welding residue inside the rear area, supporting this theory. This was certainly done as production expediency as there is no structural intent for this housing other than to conceal the internal hammer and the rear of the slide and frame area. The pistol itself has no internal or external proof or inspection marks nor and assembly or serial numbers, which also supports a one-of-a-kind prototype design. It has a high polished blue finish on all the parts except the firing pin block, hammer and sear all of which are left in the white. It is fitted with a set of brown, ribbed wartime grips and a late war P38v marked magazine. Accompanying this pistol is a letter from noted Author James Rankin. Mr. Rankin is the world renowned authority on Walther pistols and author of the most important books on Walther Automatics. The letter which states this pistol and supports the theory that it closely resembles the early "HP" or P38 pistol designs, while still incorporating the early concealed hammer design. BBL: 5 inch round Stock: Gauge: 9 mm Finish: high polish blue Grips: brown plastic Serial Number: NSN Condition: Near mint as specially fabricated with 99% of the high polished blue finish on the various parts except those internal parts noted above. The only observed defect is that in the top of the slide, in the very front end of the dished radius area there are two or three very minor pits. The replacement grips are in excellent condition and show minimal wear, however also as noted above were probably from a later period pistol. This is certainly a very unique semi-automatic pistol that certainly deserves further research.
	3402 Exceptionally Rare Late WWII Nazi VG1.5 Semi-Automatic "Peoples Assault Rifle" Start Price: 12,000.00High Bid: 37,500.00 Estimate: $30000 - 45000 This is a solid example of a very rare late WWII Nazi VG1.5 or Volkssturmgewehr or "Peoples Assault Rifle" that was manufactured by Gustloff-Werke in Suhl. These rifles were a late war development, designed along the same lines as the MP43 and MP44 series of rifles, however they were intended to be produced in a higher volume, using cheaper and faster manufacturing methods for use by the home guards, especially in the Eastern part of Germany that was subject to being overrun by the Russians. These weapons were made up using two types of parts; various stamped sheet metal parts and components, along with machined parts such as the tubular receiver, barrel, bolt head, and various springs. The various parts were then either welded or pinned together to prevent disassembly, to form the entire weapon. The combined use of stampings and machined parts, maximized the already depleted German manufacturing resources, however allowed the Germans to manufacture a crude but completely functional weapon with minimal materials and cost. These weapons were kept in secret from Hitler who despised their crude and unrefined manufactured appearance, consequently were never officially approved or sanctioned by the German Army. Consequently, they will not have any acceptance proofs or markings. They were instead produced strictly on order from the Gauliter of Thüringen which is the district in which the Suhl factory is located and which is why they bear the "Th" stamp on the stock. These rifles function on a direct blow back operated basis, where the entire outside of the barrel jacket/receiver recoils. The barrel has a fluted chamber to aid in extraction and it fires the short 7.92 mm Kurz cartridge, which is the same as the MP44 assault rifles. They have crude fixed blade rear sight with a simple post front sight and the forend and buttstock were roughed out of plain beech wood. As mentioned above the stock is stamped with "Th 5334" which was intended as the manufacturing serial number of the rifle. It is estimated that only a few thousand were ever manufactured and issued late in the war, undoubtedly with most of them being destroyed after the collapse of Germany. The rifle is complete with one 30 round MP44 magazine that is marked with "fxo/eagle 37 on the right side and MP44" on the lower left side. This rifle is complete with a simple cloth or web type sling. The top of the receiver has been hand stamped (for identification purposes) with "IRS 9393" BBL: 15 inch Stock: hardwood Gauge: 7.92 x 33mm Kurtz Finish: phosphate Grips: Serial Number: IRS9393 Condition: Very fine, with half of the phosphate finish remaining mostly in the protected areas, with the balance being an old aged gray/brown patina. The stock and forend are both in very good condition, showing an old light sanding, with an old coat of varnish, that has taken on a dull, old aged appearance. Both show handling marks such as light pressure dents, and dings with both sides of the top edge of the forend showing either a minor repair or a small missing sliver of wood. The stamped "Thurgen" markings in the stock are still deep and pronounced. The magazine is also in the white showing minimal blue finish with some light speckling on both sides, but the condition matches the rifle very nicely and gives it that old late war, aged appearance. It appears that the magazine release button on the left side is an old field replacement as it has a small irregular head. Also the right side of that pin and the right side of the selector switch pin is being held in by a cotter-key, which is also a later fix. A rare example of a very late war VG1.5.

	3468 Unique Small Ring "20 Shot" 1896 Mauser Broomhandle Pistol Start Price: 3,250.00High Bid: 7,500.00 Estimate: $6500 - 13000 This is a unique example of a small ring 20 Shot Broomhandle Mauser that was most likely a 1920s assembly utilizing a left over 20 shot frame from earlier production. These 20 shot pistols are seldom encountered as they were produced in exceptionally small numbers. Part of the rarity was due to the fact that this model of pistol required a special one-piece frame forging which required a special nonstandard production run of forgings. They also proved to be some what unwieldy when fully loaded and they also required a special larger wooden shoulder stock, both of these attributes proved to be unpopular and only contributed to the demise of this model, which was eventually dropped entirely from production. The large 20 shot pistols were actually an attempt by the Mauser factory to provide a high capacity, semi-automatic pistol to compete with the Spanish Astra equivalent, that was also produced during this time frame. It is estimated a total of fewer than 100 of these 20 shot pistols were produced in all configurations and styles, consequently making any example of this pistol very rare. As noted, this is an early small ring model that was probably produced using one of the earlier frame forgings. The top of the barrel extension is marked "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER OBERNDORF A/N" and the left side has a double Crown over a single "U" proof mark with no proof on the right side. The bottom of the barrel in front of the lower receiver shows early Oberndorf script letter proofs. This pistol has all the desirable late features except the early style 20 shot frame forgings. The other features are the short extractor on top of the breech bolt, the small ring hammer, late type, first style safety lever that you pull/push up to engage the safety, the late tangent rear graduated from 50-1000 meters, and the late type double-lug firing pin. The walnut grips have 23 grooves and are correctly numbered on the back side with the full serial number (542) of the pistol. It is complete with the Lanyard ring on the bottom of the frame. BBL: 5 1/2 inch Stock: Gauge: 7.63 mm Mauser Finish: blue Grips: wood Serial Number: 542 Condition: Professionally restored with 98% rust blued finish overall, with only minor edge and high spot wear overall with some thinning on the back strap and front edges of the frame.

The wooden grips are also in excellent condition showing minor handling marks overall. The serial numbers on the pistol are matching. The rear flat section of the frame area, directly in front of the trigger on both sides of the pistol, shows some minor areas of pin-prick pitting.
