| Nice 1881 vintage Winchester Model 1873 Rifle, chambered
in 44-40. This is a 2nd Model 1873, of the 3 made for this Model
of Winchester. This rifle is equipped with a 24 inch octagon barrel,
full tube magazine, standard steel crescent buttplate, and features the
rare single set-trigger. The gun retains about 90% of its original
blue finish on the receiver, 80% on the barrel, and 30% on the magazine
tube, with the majority turning patina. The hammer and lever retain
just faint traces of their original color case-hardened finish, and the
crescent butt-plate retains about 20-30% of its original color case hardened
finish. The bore is bright, the rifling is sharp, but it does have
some minor corrosion. The action, along with the set trigger functions
perfectly and is tight. The dust cover is tight and also functions
perfectly. The stock, which fits very nicely to the stock and butt-plate,
retains about 95+% of its original finish, with no cracks or chips, only
minor handling marks. The forearm retains most of its original finish,
also fits nicely to the frame and forend cap, and has some minor handling
marks, along with a chipped off piece, on the right side at the forend
cap. It retains its original sights, which are crisp and operate
as new. The barrel has WR99260 stamped on top, behind the rear sight,
what it stands for is unknown. The left side of the frame has the
british crown over "V" proof stamp. A very nice looking, perfectly
functioning/shootable Winchester 1873.

| Manufactured in 1863, this is a great example of the most
popular Civil War revolver. These Colt 44's were clearly favored
over the Remingtons, Stars, Rogers & Spencers, and others, and were
considered the most attractive and best balanced of all. This gun,
numbered in the 130,XXX serial range, remains in excellent, original condition
and retains 70% plus of its blue and case colors. The cylinder still
has four of its six safety pins and an excellent cylinder scene.
The grips show only minor handling wear and lightly stamped inspector's
cartouches on both sides. The bore is bright and very good and the
mechanics are perfect. This is a 100% untouched and original condition
gun, very seldom found on today's market.

| A very unusual 19th Century rifle, circa 1850, probably
made in western Pennsylvania or Ohio, with two full octagon 38 inch barrels
and full length stock. While there were many over and under and side
by side double rifles produced in the late muzzle loading period, this
is the first full stocked one we have seen. Both barrels are rifled
and are approximately .46 caliber. The locks are unmarked except
for
some minimal engraving, but the barrels are marked with two script initials,
as yet unidentified. The stock is free of any major cracks or repairs
and the locks work well. The gun appears to be totally untouched
and original in every respect except for a replacement ramrod. Both barrels
have front and rear sights. This is a very interesting double rifle.

when he graduated from West Point in 1924. The Model 1908 Colt .380

were equipped with a tube magazine, open sights, plain grip stock, 24 inch
barrel, either round or octagon, and were chambered in .22 S, L, LR or

| Delivered too late in 1865 to play an important role in
the Civil War, these compact carbines were very well made, and are still
eagerly sought after to complete Civil War carbine collections. There
were only 1002 manufactured by Lamson and Co., Windsor, Vermont, in .50
rimfire, operated by the lever-trigger guard. They are very compact
and quick to shoulder. Many saw extensive use in the west after being
sold as surplus in the late 1860's. As you can see from the pictures,
this has to rate as one of the nicest in existance. A very unique

| This Colt Single Action revolver was manufactured in 1891
as a 7 ½ inch barrel U.S. Cavalry Model, and was inspected by Ronaldo
A. Carr (RAC), a U.S. government ordinance sub inspector. In 1897,
it was returned to Colt for refurbishing and its barrel was shortened to
5 ½ inches. It was one of just over 15,000 that went through
this process, in preparation for use in the Spanish American War.
Most of these so called “Artillery” models were reassembled with no regard
to matching serial numbers. They saw service in Cuba with none other
than Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill and in the Philippines against the
Moro natives. They were considered the most suitable and most powerful
sidearm available until the adoption of the Colt Model 1911 semi auto.
At some later date, most likely in the 1920’s or early 1930’s, this gun
was returned to Colt for refurbishing again, indicated by the ampersand
on the trigger guard and the three digit “Bin” number, 804B, stamped on
all major parts. It remains today nearly 80 years later, in near
perfect condition, with 95% of its blue and case-hardened finish.
The bore is bright and sharp and it is mechanically excellent. This
gun is considered an antique, and should not be fired with modern smokeless
powder loads. As a first generation Colt Single Action Army or “Peacemaker”,
these models are one of the most collected handguns in the world, and this
is an exceptional example.

buckhorn sights just like all rifles in the award-winning Golden Boy family.
Caliber 22 S/L/LR. This special edition also features a custom serial number
range that starts with CTM00001. The nickel-plated receiver's right-side
forward and rear panels are adorned with an ornately sculpted scroll, with
a black, laser etch of the Coal Miners United image of a miner crawling
on his hands and knees in the forward portion of the rear panel. His illuminated
head lamp shines a gold-plated beam that spreads out ahead of him to light
his way. Above and below the crawling miner are two unfurling, gold-plated
banners, with the words "Faces of Coal" in the top one and "Hearts of Gold"
in the lower. On the receiver's left-side, forward panel is a beautiful
scroll engraving with a shovel and pick-axe laid over it. The aft panel
features an outstanding bust figure of a coal miner, who is wearing the
obligatory hard hat, with the strapped-on head lamp, and the mandatory
safety goggles. The figure is gold-plated with black-fill, which really
brings out the details. There is ornate scroll work on either side of the
figure and, on the rear-most scroll, a gold banner is overlaid that contains
the company's name: Coal Miners United. The hand-selected American
walnut stock's right side has a scrimshaw-style laser scroll with the Coal
Miners' prayer that is shaded with black-fill to highlight the inscription.

| This early open top revolver was manufactured by Hopkins
& Allen, a noted firearms manufacturer in Norwich, Connecticut, between
1876 and 1880. The partnership of Merwin and Hulbert was formed in
1869 by Joseph Merwin, who already operated a gun store in New York City,
and Mr. William Hulbert, who was a large stock holder in Hopkins &
Allen. It is uncertain who actually designed the unique Merwin,Hulbert
ejection system, but because of its complexity, the revolver was expensive
to manufacture and sold at retail for more than the big bore Colt, Remington
and Smith & Wesson. This gun is in excellent, original condition
and fires the .44 WCF (44/40) cartridge. It retains 90 to 95% of
its original nickel, the bore is very good and the gutta percha grips are
near perfect. A very nice, Slim Jim holster comes with the gun.

The little pistols were equipped with a 2 inch barrel, fixed sights, checkered
hard rubber grips on early models and walnut on later, or factory pearl

Included with the gun is its original box, and even though it is in tatered

| Manufactured in 1938, serial # 59,XXX, this Smith &
Wesson 2nd Model 44 Hand Ejector Target is in excellent original condition,
and may be unfired, except for test firing when it was proofed. The
bore is perfect and the exterior blue finish is about 95 to 98%.
According to Supica and Nahas's, "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson",
this gun should have the first style of magna grips, and indeed these grips
are numbered in the 46,XXX serial range, and do not match the guns's serial
number. Apparently, they were changed when the gun was new, as they
match the excellent condition of the gun. Regardless, this is a beautiful,
pre-war 2nd Model Target .44 (.44 Special), and a very desirable piece.

| Sold by T.A. Hornsey hardware, Lexington, Kentucky, circa
1865, these early cartridge handguns were made in New Haven, CT, and were
very popular with soldiers on both sides during the later days of the Civil
War. They were among the first large bore (.42) cartridge revolvers
and proceeded Colt, Remington, and Smith & Wesson, even though S&W
owned the Rollin White patent governing rear loading cylinders. Plant
cleverly avoided this by designing a front loading cylinder. For
a short period their only competition was the S&W #2 in .32 caliber,
which was considered rather impotent. Mr. Hornsey’s occupation was
listed as a gunsmith in the 1860 census of Lexington businesses, but he
also owned and operated a very successful hardware business on Short Street,
behind the Fayette County Courthouse, for some forty years, thru the latter
half of the 19th Century and was in the process of opening a second location
in Georgetown when he died of a heart attack in 1904. He was a very
prominent citizen and civic leader, with membership in many local fraternal
organizations. For an unknown length of time he marked many of the
firearms he sold with his name and address. This revolver, serial
# 4649 is in excellent working condition and is accompanied with a period
holster, made for it, and three original Plant cartridges. Only once
before in the last 40 years have we seen one of his firearms so marked.

| The Colt Officer's Model Match (Fifth Issue) was made from
1953 to 1969. The revolvers were equipped with a 6 inch tapered heavy
barrel, Accro rear sight, large walnut target grips, were finished in blue
or nickel, could be ordered in single action or double action, and were
chambered in either .22 LR, .22 Magnum, or .38 Special. This Colt
is double action in function, is blue finished and is chambered in .22
Long Rifle. It retains 99+% of its original blue finish with only
a slight drag line on its cylinder. The full checkered walnut grips
are in near excellent condition, with only some minor handling marks on
the right grip. The bore is bright with sharp rifling, and the action
is tight and functions like a new gun. A very nice example of its
type, harder to find these in this kind of condition.

| This Second Model, 2nd type revolver, serial number 4260,
was the first Whitney produced with six safety notches cut into the back
of the cylinder. It was quite popular in the Civil War and much of
its production saw service, with over half being purchased by the U.S.
Army and Navy and by various state militias. This gun is in remarkable
original condition, retaining 85 to 90% of its original bright blue, 50%
silver plate on the trigger guard, and near 100% original varnish on the
walnut grips. The bore is bright and excellent and has virtually
no corrosion. It is not one purchased by the U.S. government, as
it bears no military inspectors marks, so it was no doubt a private purchase.
A very, very nice Civil War era revolver.

full octagon barrel, nicely figured pistol grip stock and forearm, factory
"H" pattern checkered stock and forearm, factory rear sight with Lyman

| One of the many spur trigger revolvers made in the last
part of the 19th Century, this .32 Rimfire was manufactured in Springfield,
MA, and is very similar to those made by Forehand and Wadsworth, Bacon,
American Arms, Hopkins & Allen, and others. While many of these
so-called "Suicide Specials" are found with names such as ARISTOCRAT, BLUE
JACKET, FAULTLESS, LIBERTY, etc., this one is unusual with the name "EARTHQUAKE"
marked on the frame over the cylinder. It is in working order and
retains about 75% of its original nickel finish. The gutta percha
grips are fine and the hammer spur appears to have been slightly shortened,
possibly to avoid snagging on the lining of a pocket. Unusual little revolver.

| Originally issued during the Civil War as a Model 1863,
.52 caliber breechloading Cavalry Carbine, this Sharps, serial # C3528,
was converted to 50/70 after the war and reissued for service in the west.
These were very popular with the western cavalry units and saw hard use
for ten years before being replaced by the Springfield Trap Door 45/70.
Many continued to be used by hunters and ranch hands for another decade,
as they were highly regarded for their accuracy and dependability.
Many were also re-modeled into long range rifles by J.P. Lower of Denver
and other frontier gunsmiths. This gun is 100% original as modified,
retaining 90% of its barrel blue, a good bore and excellent wood.
A very nice piece of frontier history.

| This Model 1896 Mauser "Broomhandle" was manufactured in
1914 for military use by the German Army. It incorporates the "New
Safety" system and has its original, matching numbered holster/stock.
It is in excellent condition overall, retaining 90% of its blue finish,
has a very good bore, and is mechanically perfect. The wooden stock
is sound, with no cracks, sound hinges and latch, and is not refinished.
Historically, this gun was the first successful semi-automatic handgun
made, and fired the highest velocity pistol cartridge (7.63 Mauser) until
the .357 Magnum came out in 1935. Originally sold as a commercial
handgun from 1896 to 1912, it was an immediate success and enthusiastically
received around the world. Distributed primarily by Wesley Richards
in London, it was purchased by many U.S. officers during the Spanish American
War and saw service around the world in almost every country, including
Africa and China. It is truely one of the world's handgun classics.
A very nice example of its type.

| A very attractive example of the engraving style originated
by Cole Agee in the 1930’s, this Colt Single Action, serial number 227,615,
was done by Weldon Bledsoe in the 1950’s or 1960’s. Bledsoe was inspired
and trained to some extent by Agee, and continued this type of work after
Agee died in 1952. Both men used only brands from the state of Texas
and their work is very similar. This 5 1/2 inch barreled gun, with
its combination of gold and silver and steer-head pearl grips with gold
and ruby decoration, is one of the more ornate examples we have seen.
Based on the fux book leather casing, it was done on special order for
Mr. Ray Kirby, who was a well known Colt Collector during the latter half
of the 20th Century. The casing itself is magnificent and may be
unique. Regardless, it certainly adds to the appeal of this gun.
The bore is as new and the action is in perfect working order and the mechanics
are tight and crisp.

| Probably the most popular of all the military shotguns,
the Model 12 Winchester has seen duty with U.S. Armed Forces since World
War II until the present. This gun, serial number 1015611, was made
in 1943 (barrel date) and still retains 90% of its original blue finish.
The butt stock was replaced during the Korean War and bears the proper
"DOD" stamp and the "P" proof stamp, in addition to the "RROD" arsenal
mark. This gun has obviously seen lots of service, but is still in
perfect mechanical condition and has a bright, excellent bore. In
all, a very nice desirable "trench" shotgun.

| A pair of Butler Derringers, Count and Countess, in a Colt
wood presentation case, and Butler cardboard sleeve. This is the
same company that made the derringers for Colt, so why Butler used a Colt
case for these 2 guns, might be accidental. The guns are in as new
condition and appear to have been test fired only. The case is in
excellent condition, as is the sleeve. Cute set.

| The S&W .38 Single Action First Models (Baby Russians)
were spur trigger, 5-shot revolvers, made from 1876 to 1877, with 25,548
manufactured. The guns were available with a 3 1/4, 4, 5 or 6 inch
barrel, blue finish with wood grips, nickel finish with "S&W" monogram
hard black or red grips, and were chambered in .38 S&W. This
Baby Russian has a nickel finish with the black "S&W" monogramed checkered
grips. It retains most of its nickel finish with small/minor areas
of flaking here and there. The action is tight and functions perfectly
and the bore has sharp rifling, but there is some corrosion present.
Included with the gun is the original box with cleaning rod/brush and wrench,
which is extremely rare and rarely encountered. A very nice Baby
Russian, very difficult to find in this condition, especially with its
box, cleaning rod, and wrench.

| The Model P210 was adopted by the Swiss Military in 1949.
It was the successor of the famous Swiss Luger, which had been in service
for 50 years. It took a very special pistol to replace the Luger
and these pistols are touted as being the finest 9mm pistols ever made.
They are truely crafted like a "Swiss Watch". While there are various
models of commercial P210's for sale, you rarely see a Swiss Military example,
as very few were ever imported. This pistol, serial # A100109 ('A'
standing for Army) is the 109th one made and was within the first year
(1949) of production. It is complete with its original 1949 holster
and extra magazine. The pistol is in excellent, 95% plus original
condition with a mint bore. This is a rare opportunity to purchase
the finest military pistol ever produced.

| The Colt 1911 Commercial was made from 1912 to 1926, with
serial numbers from C1 to C138,532. The pistols were equipped with
a 5 inch barrel, fixed sights, 7-shot magazine, flat main spring housing,
polished blue finish only, checkered walnut grips, were denoted by "C"
preceding the serial number, and were chambered in .45 ACP. This
1914 vintage 1911 Commercial is all correct, with the exception of period
smooth ivory grips, instead of the checkered walnut. The gun retains
most all of its original blue finish, with thinning on the sharp edges
of the frame, slide and backstrap, and some spotting in the area around
the serial number. The bore is bright, with sharp rifling, but does
have some minor corrosion in some grooves near the chamber. The action
is tight and functions perfectly. A great looking 1911 Commercial.
When this gun was purchased, a family member related that it had been carried by a relative in WWI. The military style holster and belt have been with it since that time. Apparently, the original owner was a commissioned officer, as the gun and the holster/belt are commercial purchases rather than military issue, and officers were allowed to purchase their own sidearms.

| The Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 was manufactured from
1878 to 1892, with approximately 97,599 made. These single action,
spur-trigger, top-break handguns were one of the first centerfire cartridge
revolvers made and featured 5-shot fluted cylinders and were chambered
in .32 S&W Short. This gun is in excellent condition, retaining
most of its nickel plating, with only some minor handling marks and spotting.
The beautiful black rubber grips are in fantastic condition, with no cracks
or major dents. The bore is bright, but does have some spotting,
and the action functions perfectly. Included with the revolver is
a fitted doeskin holster, which is very nice. A great piece.
NOTE: An interesting bit of history on this gun is that at one time it was owned by Gary Burghoff, better known as "Radar" O"Rielly from the hit sitcom M.A.S.H.. Included is a autographed picture with a statement by Gary that confirms his ownership of this firearm and includes the serial number. NOTE: Click picture to view additional images of this S&W.

| Adopted in 1875, the US Government purchased just over
3,000 of these .45 caliber top breaks and most were issued to the 4th,
9th and 10th Cavalry units, many seeing action in the Geronimo Campaign
in the hands of the black troopers known as "Buffalo Soldiers". Outlaws
Frank James and Cole Younger carried Schofields, as did U.S. Marshall Bill
Tilghman, and preferred them to the Colt Army .45. The simultaneous
ejection of the Schofield was faster and considered superior to the Colt's
ejector rod by many who used them, but because of the S&W's tight machine
tolerances, they were more likely to malfunction when subjected to dirt
and sand than were the Colt's. None the less, the shorter .45 cartridge
required by the Schofield frame was standardized by the Ordinance Department
for both guns in 1875. This gun has a gray-brown patina and has seen
considerable use, but all markings and serial numbers are clear and matching,
and the action is tight. Almost certainly a gun that saw use during
the western campaigns.

and the frame retains all of its color case-hardening. From the appearance
of the bore and the front of the cylinder, it does not look as if it has
been fired. The action functions as new and the cylinder has a very

| Nice example of this early Steyr pistol designed by Karel
Krnka and G. Roth, serial number 52686. Manufactured by Steyr, this
8mm semi automatic was the first self-loading pistol adopted by the Austro-Hungarian
army. Also, it was the first successful double action automatic pistol.
This gun overall has 85 to 90% original blue finish, an excellent bore
and nice wood grips. It does have two spots of oxidation on the right
side of the slide from poor storage, but in all other respects, the gun
is very good to excellent.

| The earliest of the cartridge conversions, this Remington
Army was adopted to fire metallic ammunition by Remington Arms Company,
under agreement with Smith & Wesson, who owned the Rollin White patent
for rear loaded cylinders. This gun is a five shot, .46 R.F. caliber
variant with ejector, which was manufactured circa 1869. It has the
curious "C.A" marking on the frame, which is yet unexplained, but possibly
refers to a state militia or military group. It retains approximately
90% of its original blue finish, has an excellent bore, and is mechanically
perfect. Many of these were done for the government and issued to
troops in the west, while many others were sold thru commercial entities.
All were original Civil War surplus handguns. Thru their agreement
with Smith & Wesson, Remington was able to get this .46 metallic cartridge
gun on the market almost three years ahead of Colt.

| Often referred to as the "transition" model, this variation
is actually a hybred of the Richards and Richard Mason models. It
was produced within the Richards serial range but incorporated William
Mason's new design for the hammer and firing pin. Only a few hundred,
certainly less than a thousand, were manufactured before the supply of
1860 Army barrels was exhausted. It is therefore the rariest of the
.44 Conversions, including the "US" marked cavalry variations of which
there were 1100 to 1200 manufactured. It is also the first Colt revolver
stamped with the patent dates in two lines on the frame. This gun
also appears to have special order grips, which show a very dark, original
varnish over deluxe, darkly stripped, burl walnut. There is only
about 5 to 10% wear on the bottom edges of the grips, and they retain about
80% of their original varnish. All parts are matched and the gun
is mechanically sound. The engraved battle scene on the cylinder
is distinct. This is a very nice Richards Conversion, which was the
first successful Colt cartridge revolver, and the direct parent of the
Colt Single Action Army.

The big frame revolvers could be equipped with a 4, 5, 6, or 6 ½ inch barrel, blue or nickel finish, square butt frame with checkered walnut grips, with or w/o “S&W” monogram medallions, and could be chambered in .38/40 WCF, 44/40 WCF, .45 Long Colt, or the standard .44 S&W Special. This S&W Hand Ejector is equipped with a 6 ½ inch barrel, finished in nickel, has the attractive checkered walnut grips with “S&W” medallions, and is chambered in .44 S&W Special. The gun retains 98% of its original nickel finish, with only some minor thinning at the muzzle of the barrel and some forward sharp edges of the cylinder. The nickel finish on the cylinder has some freckling and the hammer and trigger have most of their original color case-hardening. The grips are in very nice condition with only some minor handling marks. The bore is bright (looks like a new one) and the action is tight, functioning smoothly and precisely. A very handsome looking revolver. |

| The S&W Model 29, equipped with the 6 1/2 inch barrel, was made famous by Clint Eastwood, in his "Dirty Harry" movie series made in the 1970's.

The gun also features a target hammer and trigger, red-ramp front sight, white out-line adjustable rear sight, and S&W checkered wood target grips. Also included is a S&W wood presentaion case with paper-work, S&W screw driver, and cleaning rod with bore mop and brush. Though the gun has been fired, it is in fantastic condition, retaining all of its original nickel finish, with minimal handling marks. All screw heads are unmolested, the bore is bright, and the action functions perfectly, with tight lock-up. The grips are also in great condition, though they have some minor handling marks. Also included is the original sales receipt, dated 12/31/1976. Nice gun. |

| Just received, a nice 1957 vintage Colt Single Action Army,
chambered in .45 Long Colt and equipped with a 7 1/2 inch barrel.
The gun has a beautiful color case hardened frame, retains about 99% of
its original blue finish on its barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and backstrap,
and near perfect condition grips. It has a bright bore and a tight
and perfect functioning action. Included is a Colt SAA black box,
with paperwork (provided on the Colt SAA's made from 1956 to 1965) which
is in fine condition, though unfortunately does not number to the gun.
The gun appears to have been fired very little and would make a fine addition
to a SAA collection.

| Just received this extremely nice Pre-War/Post-War 1st Generation Colt Single Action, chambered in .38 Special. The SAA was first chambered in .38 Special in 1930, and continued until end of the 1st generation production. This gun, serial number 357597, features a 5 1/2 inch barrel, blue/color case-hardened finish, black rampant colt grip handles, and is all numbers matching, including both of the grips. The gun retains near 100 % of its original color case-hardening, and 98% blue, with some thinning on the straps and a ring on the cylinder. The action functions like a new one and the bore is bright. Very seldom do you come accross a 1st Generation in this condition. Included with the gun is a Colt letter stating it is a pre-war/post-war model which was sold to Mr. Burton W. Bartlett (who became Chairman of the Board of Colt in 1955) in November 1955, even though it had been manufactured in 1948. The 38 Special is one of the more rare chamberings for the pre-war 1st Gen. SAA, with only 25 listed. This would make a great addition to a Colt or Colt SAA collection. |

| This attractive Model 1894 Winchester was manufactured in 1901 and still retains 90 to 95% of its original blue finish and has an excellent bore. The walnut stocks are very good and show only minor dings and nicks. It is unusual to find such an early 1894 in this condition, since most of the available ammunition at that time was still loaded with black powder. It was made with a color case-hardened lever and hammer and was not stamped with the “W-P” proof. This is a very nice, vintage 1894, in the original and most desirable 38/55 caliber. A factory letter has been sent for. |

| Manufactured in 1890, this R.A.C. inspected revolver saw considerable use, most likely in the Spanish American War, with one of the state militia’s, but has remained in excellent original condition. The bore is still in perfect, bright condition, as are the chambers. The action is tight and mechanically excellent. The exterior of the gun shows holster wear, but still retains 40% original blue and traces of color case-hardening. The grips retain excellent cartouches and are date stamped on the left grip panel. The right side of the barrel shows light, pin prick oxidation but all markings are clear and distinct, and of course, all numbers match. This is an attractive, U.S. Cavalry Single Action Colt 45, and is guaranteed to be 100% authentic and original in every respect. |

It has a bright bore and the action functions and is tight as new. The wood grips are in very fine condition, but do have some minor handling marks. This would make a great addition to any military gun collection. |

| 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. |

| First introduced in 1880, this falling-block/side-lever design was very popular and remained in production until 1907. These Remington rifles became world renown and were very popular with hunters and target shooters alike. They were manufactured in a wide range of calibers, from .22 to .50, equipped with either a round or octagon barrel, and many sight options. This example is chambered in .40 x 2 ½ inch, a popular Sharps caliber, and has a full octagon medium weight 28 inch barrel.

| A very fine, high quality pepperbox which was made in England circa 1850. This gun is one of the medium size and approximately .38 caliber, with 3 ½ inch barrels. It is finely engraved, smooth bore, and appears to be unfired. The grips are checkered walnut, and are nearly new in condition.

This is a 100% original, early Civil War Colt Navy, that may have gone south in early 1861. The gun is crisp and sharp, with approximately 50% original finish, excellent cylinder scene, and it retains a generous amount of silver on its trigger guard and backstrap and most ot the varnish on the grips. The initials "CAC" are neatly carved on the bottom of the grips and may indicate Confederate usage, as this was a known practice in the southern army to inhibit theft in the camps. Regardless, this is a tight, attractive Colt Navy, with near perfect screw heads and all matching numbers, that has never been mistreated. A good looking Civil War Colt. |

| In 1940, Germany adopted a modified version of their K98 service rifle, with a shorter 19 inch barrel and a sheet steel protector plate on the left side of the buttstock adjacent to the buttplate. Designed to achieve better compactness and ease of carry, most of these were issued to German Mountain Troops. Since only a limited number were produced, this model is eagerly sought after by WWII collectors. This gun has all matching numbers and is 100% original. It has a desirable single digit serial number. ,7b", and retains approximately 85% of its bright blue finish. The bore is very good, and all waffenamp proofs are clear and distinct.

| During WWI, the United States Government purchased 1800 Model 1894 Winchester Carbines in .30 WCF (30-30). The guns were marked with the Ordinance Dept. insignia and a "US" on top of the receiver. The only government contract for 1894 Carbines, these guns were issued to Signal Corp. personnel in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States to prevent any interference with the delivery of the spruce lumber from this area, that was being used for the building of airplane wings and fuselages and the material was considered critical to the war effort. This purchase of 94 carbines kept the Model 1903 Springfield and 1917 service rifles from being diverted from the war in Europe. This gun was obtained by a young Kentuckian after the war and used by him, employed as a Cowboy on an Oregon cattle ranch. The gun and its saddle scabbard was recently obtained from his family. This is a Winchester very seldom found today, and it remains in good working condition. |

| Probably the best Springfield Trapdoor Carbine we have
ever had, this 1879 Model appears to be unfired and unissued. The
serial number, 189,411 is followed by the five pointed star, indicating
a gun built for state militia. The cartouche of 1882 is correct for
the serial number, indicating that this gun was not refurbished, but is
in original, as manufactured condition, with the exception of the Buffington
rear and high front sight with hood, which were up-graded in the late 1890's
for Spanish American War issue. Except this one was never issued
or used. The gun retains 95% of its original blue and case colors
and a perfect bore. It came to us indirectly from a prominent Woodford
County Kentucky family that has been very active in state government through
the years, one having been Governor of the state in the 1880's. Kentucky
did not receive any Springfield Carbines until1891, but since this gun
had to have still been at the Springfield Armory to receive the sight up-grade,
the former Governor could not have received it until approximately 1898
or 1899. Since only 15,000 Model 1879 Carbines were manufactured,
one in this condition is very rare.
We are indebted to well known Springfield authority, Al Frasca, for much of this information.

| Produced during the "heyday" of Mauser Lugers, this example still retains 98% of it original rust blue and 95% of the original straw color, found on the small parts. In the following year, 1937, Mauser sped up the production of Lugers by changing over to a salt blue process and eliminating the straw color finish of the small parts. These pre-1937 Lugers are becoming increasingly hard to find in this condition. It has all matching numbers, except the magazine, and it has an excellent bore. One of the best looking Lugers ever made. |

| A very nice pre-WWII Walther PP chambered in 7.65 Caliber. The pistol retains most of its original blue finish, with some thinning at the front and side of the slide, due to holster wear, and some thinning on the bottom of the grip butt. The grips are in mint condition. the bore is bright, and the action functions perfectly. In addition the gun comes with its original holster, which also is in excellent condition, and one additional magazine (inserted in the holster). What sets this gun and holster combination apart from the others is the capture (certificate) papers dated 26 September 1945. It referrs to the gun, holster and extra magazine. You'll also notice in the pictures the soldier, pfc. Bernard C. Fraley, which secured the capture papers, also wrote his name and serial number in the flap of the holster. A wonderful example of a WWII captured firarm. |

| Although Henry Deringer, of Philadelphia, PA., began making handguns of different sizes in the 1830's, the model now referred to as the "Classic" or "Lincoln" deringer, with its signature birds head grips and .41 caliber bore, did not become the standard until the early 1850's. It was manufactured in barrel lengths which varied from 1 1/2 to 6 inches. The barrel was always rifled, the locks and barrels were marked "DERINGER/PHILADELPHIA"(with various abbreviations), trigger guards almost always had pinapple finials, and the barrels were stamped with the letter "P" and the sunburst barrel proofmark. This particular gun is one of standard configuration, showing the abbreviated "PHILADEL a" address, probably made in the 1850's. It remains in remarkably good, original condition and shows little use. It has a 1 7/8 inch barrel, which is one size up from the "Peanut" length of 1 5/8 inches (the actual "Lincoln" deringer had a 2 1/16 inch barrel). It also exhibits a seldom seen special feature, the sculptured nose at the end of the barrel, which is very rare. All in all, this is a very nice, Classic Philadelphia Deringer. |

Early 2nd generation guns with nickel finish are hard to find in good condition, as relatively few were produced, compared to those with blue finish. A nice looking SAA. |

| A variety of these two trigger Wessons are found in four types and four calibers. This third type, serial # 4XX, was manufactured in the early 1870's in 32 caliber. It has an adjustable hammer striker which allows the use of either rim fire or centerfire ammunition. The forward trigger acts as a release for the barrel and breech, opening the action. This gun has a 24 inch octagon barrel, which is blued, a nickel plated receiver, and a rear tang sight and beech folding front sight. It is in immaculate, original condition and retains 98% plus of its original finish. The rifled bore appears perfect and unblemished and the varnished walnut stock shows an old age crack, near the toe, but it is now stabilized. The action and mechanics work perfectly, like new. All in all, a beautiful antique rifle in excellent shooting condition. |

| Here is a nice E. Allen Single Shot Pistol, chambered in .22 Rim Fire, with brass frame, spur trigger, and walnut grips. To load and unload the gun, cock hammer to half cock, and swing barrel to the right, which exposes the breech. The action works well, the sights are both intact and in great condition, screw heads are generally un-molested, and the bore has visible rifling, but has corrosion. A unique and good looking little pistol. |

| The Model 1899 was the last carbine built by Springfield Armory on the Krag action. It saw extensive use during the Spanish American War, the Philippine Insurrection and the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the Century, and was the last Cavalry Carbine adapted by the United States Army. The quality of these guns, the smoothness of the bolt, their fit and finish, illustrate the high skill level of the workers at Springfield Armory that has never been surpassed. This gun, serial number 287,164, saw some use, but remains in excellent original condition. The bore is very good, and the action is perfect. The inspector’s cartouche on the stock indicates an as issue date of 1901. This is a fine example of the last of the Cavalry Carbines. |

| This 7 ½ inch barrel artillery, designated by author John Kopec as the fourth variation, is by far the rarest of all artillery models. Of the 15,000 plus Colt Cavalrys that were altered by the government in the late 1890’s, only a few retained their original 7 ½ inch barrel. These guns had most likely been carried to the Philippines by state militia members who had not turned in their cavalry models during the recall of 1893. Due to the humid, tropical climate conditions in the Pacific, all arms suffered from rust and corrosion more quickly than normal and needed rework and refinishing. The Manila Arsenal had very limited equipment for this work, and no furnaces capable of the temperatures required to color case-harden. Therefore, all rifles and handguns, including this 7 ½ inch artillery, were re-blued only. The facility at the arsenal in Manila employed 48 native Philippinos, supervised by two US non-commissioned officers. This new information has only recently come to light with the discovery of the Manila Arsenal log book by Single Action guru, Dave Lanera, and was published in the Rampant Colt magazine last year. Most of these revolvers, used and refinished in the Philippines, were reworked again when they were returned to the United Startes in 1901, 1902, and 1903. Those with 7 ½ inch barrels were shortened to 5 ½ inch and refinished in blue with color case-hardened frames. This example, serial number 16,507 escaped this last rework, and therefore retains its original long barrel. The frame number still matches the barrel number, all other parts are mixed. Interestingly, the Ainsworth inspected cylinder, number 6365, is in the Custer 7th Cavalry range. The frame and barrel are Lewis (“L”) inspected. The gun is in excellent condition with 90% arsenal re-blue finish, near perfect “RAC” (Rinaldo Carr) inspected grips, a perfect bore and tight action. This is not only a rare variation of the Cavalry/Artillery Army revolver, but also one with much history, and the only Type IV this writer has ever owned. Comes with the three page John Kopec letter of authenticity. |

| This is the best condition Artillery Luger that we have had in the last few years. It retains 98% of its original blue with only minimal wear on the front sight band and some high spots on the frame and sideplate. The original strawed small parts also retain most of their color. Of course it is all matching numbers, with the exception of the proper wood base magazine. The bore and the wood grips are near mint. It has become increasingly more difficult to find Artillery Lugers in this top collectors condition. Purchase the best that you will find or up-grade the one you have. |

| This beautiful, American Model Walther PPK/S Gold-Engraved is new, in its original presentation case. There were 500 of these made in 1987, of which this is #008 (James Bond, 007, backup?). The pistol is nicely engraved and is equipped with genuine ivory grips and a ivory magazine base/bottom. A very rare and attractive Walther PPK/S. |

| A true Old West Peacemaker. On February 15th, 1907 this gun was shipped to the Copper Queens Cons. Mining Company of Bisbee, Territory of Arizona. It is an Early Smokeless Powder Colt SAA, equipped with a 4 3/4 inch barrel and chambered in 44/40. Overall the blue finished parts of the gun retain about 50-60% of their original finish and the frame and hammer retain about 50-60% of their original color case-hardening finish. The action functions like a new one, is tight and smooth. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. I personally would not hesitate shooting this SAA. Included is the Colt Factory Letter stating the shippment date and destination and the configuration of the gun. A very desirable and nice Colt SAA, especially with its Old West History. |

| This Bolo Mauser with matching numbered stock was made in the late 1920's and sold commercially. The Bolo is a smaller version of the Model of 1896 "Broomhandle", and fires the same .30 caliber cartridge. Interestingly, This cartridge was the highest velocity pistol cartridge until the .357 came out in 1935. It is in very nice, 90% plus condition and 100% original. |
 |
|
|
| The Colt 1905 came out in 1905 and was built until the
introduction of the 1911, with approximately 6100 having been manufactured.
The pistols featured a 5 inch barrel, fixed sights, checkered double-diamond
walnut grips, finished in high polish blue, and were chambered in .45 ACP
cartridge. This Colt 1905 is in spectacular original condition, retaining
approximately 98%+ of its original blue finish, has faint traces of color
case-hardening on the hammer, and retains most all of its original blue
on the trigger, grip screws and extractor. The sights are unmolested
and the grips are very nice looking with minimal wear and no cracks.
The action functions perfectly and the magazine is in excellent condition,
fitting tightly into the gun. The bore is in good condition, showing
minor frosting throughout, but no deep pitting. An extremely nice
looking 1905, and hard to find in this condition.

| Shipped to Hartley and Graham, NY in 1876, this gun, serial number 27,629, was almost certainly engraved by L. D. Nimschke. It is almost identical to serial number 114, which is accepted as the first Nimschke engraved Single Action. We have enclosed a picture of #114 for comparison. This gun is in excellent original condition, retaining 20% original nickel, beautiful floral engraving, and one piece checkered ivory grips. This is a stunning piece, used but well cared for, with excellent crisp markings and lots of character. The bore and the mechanics are fine, and nothing needs to be fixed or replaced. L. D. Nimschke was considered one of the best, if not the best, of all New York engravers and his work is legendary. At this time period, almost all Colt engraving was done in New York, and it wasn’t until 1880 that Colt hired their first notable full time engraver, Cuno Helfricht, who’s mentor was L. D. Nimschke. |

| The Colt Open Top Revolvers were made from 1871 to 1877 with approximately 114,200 having been manufactured. The revolvers had 7-shot cylinders, were chambered in .22 short /long cal., came with either a 2 3/8 or 2 7/8 inch barrel, equipped with a spur trigger, were finished in blue or nickel, and came standard with varnished wood grips. This 1875 vintage Open Top has the 2 3/8 inch barrel, nickel finish and instead of wood varnished grips, has factory pearl. But what really sets this gun apart is the factory 1/3rd coverage engraving. The revolver would rate about 80-85% condition with most of the thinning of the nickel appearing on the frame around the sharp edges. The cylinder and barrel retain most of their original finish with some spotting. The pearl grips fit well and are in nice condition, with the exception of the chip on the right grip panel, behind the trigger. The action functions perfectly but the bore is a little frosty. A rather unique Open Top, how many could have been factory engraved? |

| The S&W .38/44 Heavy Duty was introduced in 1930 and was manufactured until 1941, with 11,111 produced. The guns came standard with a 5 inch barrel, with a limited production of 4 and 6 ½ inch models, diamond walnut service grips with S&W medallions, which changed to Magna style by 1938, was available in blue or nickel finish, featured a shrouded extractor rod, fixed sights, and was built on the large square butt “N” frame. This 1936 vintage S&W Heavy Duty features the standard 5 inch barrel and polished blue finish. The gun retains about 98% of its original blue finish, nice color case-hardened hammer and trigger, and beautiful diamond grips, with only some minor handling marks. The bore is bright with sharp rifling, screw heads are un-molested, and the action is tight and functions perfectly. This is a very handsome revolver, would be a great addition to any S&W collection. |

| Manufactured in 1961, these 2nd generation Colts, with
3 inch barrels, were ordered by the Centennial Arms Corporation.
Only 503 were manufactured and they are therefore one of the rarest of
all 2nd generation Single Actions. This gun is absolutely 100% original
and is in brand new condition. Not only has it not been fired, but
it also has never been cocked, it retains 100% of its original blue and
color case-hardened finishes and has its original cardboard box, cleaning
brush, manual, and warranty card. The bottom of the box is serial
numbered to the gun, #0270. This is a very hard gun to find in this
unturned, uncocked condition.

| This is a very nice, cased example of the six shot variation of the .31 caliber Pocket Model. Manufactured in 1862, it retains bright original blue on the barrel, case colors on the frame, hammer, and loading lever, retains most of its silver on the trigger guard and back-strap, and 90% original grip varnish. The action is tight and crisp, and it still has five of six safety pins intact. All numbers match, including the wedge, and it has an excellent cylinder scene. All of the chamber interiors show much original blue, indicating very little firing. The presentation case is in excellent condition, but may have been re-lined. The monogram plate on the case lid is nicely inscribed with the initials “FLL”. All in all, a very nice set, with the desirable six inch barrel. |
 |
|
|
| Manufactured in 1862, the first year of production, this is a very early Pocket Model of .36 caliber. The round 6 ½ inch barrel and the fluted five shot cylinder gave this model a very streamlined and graceful appearance. This gun shows some holster wear on the sides of the barrel and may have seen some Civil War use. It remains however, in excellent original condition with 75% blue on the barrel and cylinder, 95% bright color case-hardening on the frame and hammer, and 90% plus original varnish on the grips. In addition, it has an excellent bore, noticeable blue finish on the inside of the chambers of the cylinder, and all five safety pins. It could well be unfired. The mechanics are crisp and tight, and all screw heads are perfect with 90% original blue. This is a exceptionally nice Colt. |

| The Model 1875 Remington was introduced in 1875 and was made until 1888, with approximately 25,000 having been manufactured. The guns were 6-shot revolvers, came with either a 5 ¾ or 7 ½ inch round barrel, could be chambered in .44 Rem., .44-40 W.C.F., or .45 Long Colt, finished in nickel or blue, and could come with walnut, ivory, or pearl 2-piece grips. This 1875 is a standard blue finished gun with a 7 ½ inch barrel, equipped with 2-piece walnut grips, and is chambered in .44/40 W.C.F.. It also has the initials C.F.P.A. (which stands for “Cappers Farmers Protective Association”) stamped on the right side of the frame, behind the cylinder. The gun retains about 75-80 % of its original blue, has nice walnut grips with some minor marks and dings, un-molested screw heads, and nice color case-hardening on the hammer. The action functions perfectly, the cylinder bores are nice, and the barrel bore is bright, but does have some corrosion. This old Remington 1875 has lots of character. |

| Here is a very nice Winchester 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine, manufactured in 1917 and chambered in 32 Winchester Special. It features a 20 inch barrel, full length tube magazine, saddle ring, carbine ladder long range rear sight, and gum-wood stock and forearm. The barrel and magazine tube retain 98% of their original finish and the butt-plate approximately 40% of its original finish, which is starting to turn a nice patina. The original finish on the receiver and forearm band have flaked off completely, turning to an attractive mottled patina. The hammer and lever retain about 70% of their original finish, with the lever starting to go patina. The sights are crisp and un-damaged and the screw heads are un-damaged. The forearm is in nice condition, with the exceptiion of some gouges ahead of the forearm band. The stock is in nice condition also, with the exception of a small chip at the toe. Considering how soft gum-wood is, the wood is in great condition for its age. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and the action functions perfectly. A great looking Saddle Ring Carbine, and getting hard to find in this kind of condition. |

| Here is a fantastic Lancaster Four-Barrel Pistol in great orignal condition. The Lancaster pistol enjoyed popularity with officers in India and Africa due to its increased rate of fire and increased reliability over revolvers at the time. The gun comes with a 6 1/4 inch barrel, thumb-operated barrel latch system, blue finish, checkered bird's head walnut grips with lanyard loop, and a German blade silver front sight. The center rib is marked "CHARLES LANCASTER (PATENT) 151 NEW BOND ST., LONDON" and London proofs and crown over "V" proofs appear on the barrels and receiver. This gun retains about 70-80% of its original blue with only some light pitting on the barrels. The grips appear to have all their original finish with sharp checkering and have only some minor handling marks. The smooth bore barrels are bright but have some light pitting. The double action functions as it should and the latch system is as tight as a new one. All screw heads are un-molested and the sights are undamaged. A very good looking Lancaster, and extremely rare in this condition. |

|
| A very rare, un-cataloged variation of their .38 caliber
pocket revolver. Not only is it marked Hopkins and Allen on the top
of the barrel, with the Merwin Hulbert name on the right side of the frame,
but it has a birds head grip, 5 ½ inch barrel, and is a single action
with a trigger guard instead of a spur trigger. According to Art
Phelps, author of “The Story of Merwin Hulbert and Co.”, only a small number
of these trigger guard single actions were manufactured in the 1870’s,
a feature found on their newer double action model, which went on to become
an overnight success. He makes no estimate of the number made, but
implies there were very few. This gun remains in excellent, untouched
condition, with 95 % original nickel finish, showing only some minor pin
prick oxidation, it has a very good bore, excellent black gutta percha
grips, and mechanics that are tight and crisp. This is a very good
looking revolver, and is truly a very rare frontier period piece.

| The S&W Model 317 was introduced in 1997 and could ordered with either a 1 7/8 (weight 10 1/2 oz.) or 3 inch barrel. The 1 7/8 inch barrel guns came with fixed sights and the 3 inch guns came with an adjustable rear sight. All guns were built on the alloy "J" frame and had a 8-shot cylinder. What is not very well known is that a small number (only 120) of 2 inch stainless steel barrel guns with a adjustable rear sight and red ramp front sight were made in 2000. This is one of those guns. This Model 317 has been fired, but very little from the minimal drag line on the cylinder. The gun is in excellent condition with no handling marks on any of its metal surfaces and minimal handling marks on the rubber grips. The action is tight and it functions perfectly. The gun comes with its original, numbered to the gun box, with all paper-work. A very rare S&W 22 revolver, when will you see another like it. |
 |
|
|
| An excellent example of a .38 c.f., with a 5 ½ inch barrel, manufactured in the 1880’s. Total quantity produced is estimated at a few thousand, most with standard hammer. This folding hammer variation is in very nice condition, with 95% original nickel, good bore, very good black hard rubber grips, and all matching numbers. It is mechanically perfect. Certainly, one of the most interesting of all the early double action designs, and one of the most well made. |

| The Smith & Wesson Model of 1917 was made from 1917 to 1946, with approximately 209,791 having been manufactured. From 1917 to 1919 the guns were built for the military and from 1920 to 1946 for the commercial market. The six shot revolver was chambered in .45 Auto Rim or .45 ACP (in half moon clips), equipped with a 5 ½ inch barrel, fixed sights, satin blue finish on the military-high gloss blue on the commercial, and equipped with smooth walnut grips on military, checkered walnut on the commercial. This Model of 1917 is the commercial version with diamond checkered grips with silver S&W medallions. This gun retains approximately 95 to 98% of its original beautiful high polish blue finish with most of the wear at the muzzle (holster wear ?) and some on the sharp edges of the frame. The action works perfectly, the screw heads are un-molested, and the bore is like new, bright with sharp rifling. The color case-hardening on the hammer and trigger are vibrant with minimal wear. The grips look great and are about like new except for some very minor dings on the bottom and a minor dent on the left grip by the main spring screw. A fantastic looking Smith & Wesson Model of 1917. |

| In the 192,XXX serial number range, this cartridge conversion of the Colt Model 1860 Army revolver was Colts first successful large bore, cartridge revolver. Most of the estimated 9000 produced saw hard use on the western frontier, and remained popular in the southwest long after more modern handguns were available. This gun retains much of its original blue finish, and 90% of its original varnish on the grips. It is 100% honest in every respect. The mechanics are very good and the engraved cylinder scene is excellent. These big 8” barrel .44 CF guns were considered very accurate out to 100 yards, and as effective as a small rifle when shot from a rest. This is a very nice example of the early western Colt. |

| The Walther PP (Police Pistol) was manufactured by Waffenfabrik Walther at Zell-Mehlis, Germany from 1929 to 1945. Per Jan C. Still’s book, “Axis Pistols”, they were procured by the police from 1941 to 1945. The Variation 2, Eagle “C” Military finish was made in the serial block 343087P to 345126P, with an estimated procurement of 2,000. The guns were chambered in caliber 7.65 (.32 ACP), were commercial proofed on the right side of the chamber, barrel and on the slide below the ejection port, and had the Eagle “C” stamp placed on the left side of the frame, above the magazine release button. This Walther PP pistol is as described above, with the serial number falling in the middle of the serial block range. The gun is in excellent condition, retaining 99% of its original military finish, with only some minor thinning on the sharp edges. It has strong stampings, a bright bore, and the action is tight and functions perfectly. A fantastic piece, and very rare, the only one we have every seen in 36 years of business. |

| This gun is numbered completely out of the normal 1st model serial range. Normally, Triple Lock numbers fall between one and 15,375, the highest number reached in 1915. This gun, which appears to be a standard 6 ½ inch .44 Special, is stamped 71,537 on the rear of the cylinder, 71,537 in the ejector rod shroud, and 1537 on the butt with the seven stamped out. It is in very fine condition, factory refinished many years ago, as indicated by the small star on the butt beside the number. The bore is perfect, and the action is tight and crisp. The 1930 period grips are the same type used on the early .357 magnums, and may have been added when the gun was redone by Smith & Wesson. Under the left grip is a small “22”, which may or may not refer to the refinish date. Regardless, this gun is certainly an anomaly that has yet to be explained. A very interesting gun. The front sight also adds to the mystery. It is obviously non-standard, quality custom work. |

| Obtained directly from the original owner’s family, this Civil War handgun has survived in exceptionally nice, original condition. It was carried by a Willacoochee, GA, Confederate soldier (rank unknown), who was a member of the 41st Georgia Infantry. As the pictures indicate, it has been lightly cleaned, this was done while in the possession of a museum in France, where it was on loan for many years. Fortunately, the hammer, trigger, base pin and various screw heads retain their original fire blue finish. It has been fired very little as the nipples are sharp and show very little use. The checkered, walnut grips are excellent. Mechanically, the gun operates as it should and could be shot today. All markings and numbers are clear and distinct. Approximately 1500 of these were purchased by the confederate government, and many others were undoubtedly purchased privately by southern family’s for their young soldiers. It is of standard configuration, a nine shot, 6 ¾” barrel, .44 caliber revolver, with a .20 gauge shot barrel beneath. Seldom if ever are these found in this pristine condition, especially with this rock solid provenance. Signed affidavit accompanies the gun. |

| Two absolutely mint and unfired revolvers from the 1880 period, both chambered in .44/40 Winchester caliber. They are identical with full nickel finish, blue screws and varnished walnut grips. The interiors of all chambers and bores are sharp and bright, with no indication of use. The serial numbers, #230 and #290, are written in ink inside the grips. The exterior nickel finishes are 100%, with only a slight drag line on one cylinder. Both guns function as new. They are attractively cased in a lined oak box with 20 round cartridge block. While it is hard to imagine how these two guns could have survived together in this condition for 130 years, they are absolutely 100% original in every respect. A stunning pair of Remington’s. |

| Here is an absolutely beautiful, vintage 1850's to 1860's, Bruff Deringer, the nicest I have ever seen. As you can see in the pictures, the top of the barrel is stamped R. P. Bruff, NY and CAST STEEL. The little gun has elaborate engraving on the barrel, trigger guard, lock work, hammer, and assorted trim pieces inlayed into the wood. There are also two gold bands inlayed into the breech portion of the barrel. The wood retains most all of its original finish and the grip is nicely checkered. The original finish is mostly gone on the barrel and lock, but does not detract from the appearance of this gun, at all. Just check out the nicely sculptured hammer, the spur on the top of the hammer, the dove tailed front sight, and the way the front of the barrel was machined to a point at the top portion of the muzzle. This would make a wonderful addition to any collection, gun or not. |

| Factory engraved, with both 7 inch and 3 ½ inch matching numbered barrels and original pearl grips, this is a very rare and deluxe frontier era revolver. Manufactured in 1880 by Hopkins and Allen, Norwich, CT, these guns are unique in design and were considered to be of the highest quality. As such they were the most expensive of the large frame handguns of the period. An 1882 dated invoice from the E.C. Meacham Co. of St. Louis shows a standard Merwin .44 billed out at twelve dollars, while a new Remington 1875 Model is eight dollars and a Colt SAA is eleven dollars. Had not Joseph Merwin died in 1879 and the Merwin Company gone into receivership in 1880, Merwin’s precision revolvers may have revolutionized the gun industry around the world. These revolvers had an automatic ejector system that selectively extracted the fired cases while keeping the unfired cartridges in the cylinder. Many considered them superior to their better known competitors of the period, Colt, Remington and Smith & Wesson. This gun remains in excellent original condition, with 90% plus original nickel finish and perfect mechanical condition. Engraved in the classic New York M&H pattern, it has a non-typical and perhaps unique, large Texas longhorn steer head in a circle on the left side of the frame. While other animals and busts of Indians, women and cowboys were more or less standard, the steer head is very unusual. It could have been a special order from a western rancher. Regardless, this is a very rare and interesting gun. |
