Just recently traded for this very attractive 4 3/4 inch barrel Bisley, which was manufactured at the turn of the last century and was shipped to Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri, on May 14th, 1900.

Colt Ainsworth U.S. Cavalry SAA, Cal. 45 LC PRICE: $6,495

Just recently arrived, an early Ainsworth inspected US Cavalry Colt Single Action, serial number 6342. This revolver undoubtably saw hard use with the 7th Cavalry. It is within the serial range of those possibly carried by General George Custer's men at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. According to noted Colt Cavalry authority, John Kopec, who's letter of authentication accompanies the gun, it is one of a very small group of Cavalry revolvers that has an upside down "US" stamp in the frame. The others known are numbers 6341, 6355 and 6357. While this stamping error has no special significance, it is an interesting anomily that occurred on only very few guns. Mr. Kopec also notes that this guns' barrel has been restored to 7 1/2 inches, having been cut down earlier, and that the grips appear to be later replacements. While the gun has no original finish, it is in good working condition, has a decent bore and is a very historical Colt handgun.

Springfield Model 1867 “Cadet”, 1 of 424 PRICE: $2,750

One of the scarcest of all Springfields, this scaled down version of the 1866 Second Model Allen Conversion was designed for young military cadets.

Important "Clay" Family Top-Break S&W PRICE: $3,750

This engraved and gold washed top-break Smith & Wesson .32 revolver was owned by Thomas Henry Clay Jr. of Bourbon County Kentucky. It was recently discovered in one of the Clay homes, called "The Heights", located on Austerlitz Road, on the 3000 acre family farm. It was shipped from the S&W factory located in Springfield Massachusetts on August 6th, 1892, and delivered to Hartley & Graham Co. of New York City, New York, where it was embelleished and engraved. The back of the handle reads, "T.H. CLAY, JR", who was the grandson of Samuel "graybeard" Clay and the nephew of Cassius M. Clay, a prominent citizen and politician of Bourbon County, having served as State Senator and in the last Constitutional Convention of Kentucky. T.H. Jr. married Elizabeth "Bessie" Woodford in the late 1890's, and this fancy little revolver could well have been a wedding present. The gun was first nickeled and then silver plated, then partially gold washed. Much of the silver and gold are intact. The fine pearl grips are nearly perfect, and the gun remains in good working condition. The Bourbon County Clays, originally from Virginia, were descendants of Col. Henry Clay, one of the largest landowners in Virginia, and were cousins of Henry Clay from Lexington, and to the famous abolitionist, Cassius Marcellus Clay of Madison County.
