This ultra-rare shotgun has a 26" full choke barrel, with knurled cocking band, integral front sight, semi-beavertail grasping groove checkered forearm, checkered straight grip laminated stock 14-1/4" over a leather faced red recoil pad. The metal parts are finished with a high luster deep bright blue and the receiver is engraved with full coverage game scenes on both sides. The left side depicts a setter and pointer, on point, in a field scene with two bobwhite quail. This vignette is surrounded with a variety of patterns of engraving ranging from arabesque, leaf & vine, floral, Greek key and several other patterns. The right side is identically engraved, allowing for the ejection port, with this vignette being a marsh scene with one flying and three sitting/standing mallards. The sides of the rounded top of the receiver are also engraved with some of the various patterns. The bottom of the trigger guard and in front of the loading port are also lightly engraved. The very unusual stock is factory laminated, having a 3/4" center section of slightly different colored walnut instead of the usual birch. The outside plys are of highly figured streaky and burled walnut with 3/4" black diamonds inlaid on the wrist on either side. Centered through the wrist are two plugged holes, about 3/8" dia., that are reminiscent of the method Winchester used to secure their firearms to display boards at the early World's Fairs and factory expositions. The forearm is matching color and grain structure. Given that this shotgun was built in 1912 and that these are very unusual engraving patterns for Winchester, and that this model of shotgun is rarely, if ever, encountered with engraving, it stands to reason that this was likely the 1912, or subsequent, factory exposition display piece. Ser. 23204. CONDITION: The metal retains 97-99% deep bright blue overall, having only very tiny thin edges at the muzzle ond one or two extremely fine areas of white sharp edge wear on the receiver.

612.UNIQUE FLINTLOCK PISTOL. When I first saw this pistol I felt "What a shame, a great rear half of an early f/l c. 1660, but someone has really messed it up with that crazy looking barrel! After very careful examination I have to say it's still very crazy, but it's also very real and c. 1660. A very complex attempt to make a super-imposed load pistol that would work. The pistol is 19-1/2" overall, the rear 6-1/2" are quite simple and follow the standard form of 1660, wide flanged buttcap engraved with floral decoration, the backaction lock with similar engraved decoration is a bit unusual, but understandable because of the very odd pan mechanism and the double screw-off barrel! The 12" 48 caliber rifled iron barrel with cannon muzzle has a large swollen section 9-1/2" from the muzzle, just forward of this is a 1-1/2" hexagonal section; the section to the rear is rounded with three turned rings. The rear section screws onto the front of the action, this action has a narrow powder chamber that goes back almost 2" into the stock. The 2nd bullet to be fired seats on top of this narrow chamber, the "short barrel" screws onto the frame and then is loaded with the 1st bullet and charge. The "short barrel" is aligned to the exact correct position that matches the rifling in the "long barrel" with a very narrow engraved flat steel rod that slides along the bottom of the frame into a slot in the "short barrel". The "long barrel" charge is fired through a touchole in the "short barrel", this locking/alignment system also designed to make sure that the touchole lines up with the very long touchole that's cut into the lock, running forward of the pan and to the side of the frizzen screw. There's another slot for an alignment key at the junction of the "short" and "long" barrels, but this key is missing. It may have been connected to some sort of lever device as there are two shallow holes drilled in the short barrel:, holes that could only be for holding something, or maybe for a wrench to be used in screwing the barrel off. between these two small holes there's a large one drilled all the way through the barrel wall. I have no idea why this was done, and it obviously was not done while someone thought he could actually fire/use the pistol. The pan is a masterpiece of ingenuity designed to slide back and forth on a rachet system behind The lockplate and along side the narrow powder chamber. When the round iron ball behind the frizzen is forward the upper pan is in position to fire Bullet No.1. The fire goes out the front of the pan through a 5/8" long hole which lines up with the touchole in the middle of the "short barrel". When the ball is pulled back the upper pan pulls back, and the lower pan moves forward to align itself with the touchole that fires the 2nd charge held in the long narrow chamber. Now just for fun the designer made a pierced "safety hole" at the bottom of the pan bracket. If some powder spilled while moving the pans about it just fell out, and no accidents. The quality of workmanship is very fine and all the steel parts other than the barrels are engraved with scroll work, flowers, two animals, a bearded man, and the base of the frizzen is the bust of a woman in relief. The trigger guard engraved with a bearded man's head and a large "37". The "why" of the design is the confusing part of the pistol. I'd call it very optimistic, and certainly very complicated. One of those things that's about impossible to describe verbally. It must be seen. CONDITION: In basically very fine original condition; the short barrel does have the "why did they drill it" hole through the wall, but this could be easily restored, the steel parts a dull natural steel color with all the engraving sharp and clear, the wood very fine. 4-4327 EV69 (6,000-12,000) SOLD $7,500

He states that the gun was built bored Sk1 & Sk2 by Larry DelGrego at Remington. He states that DelGrego built the three small bore barrels for this gun and they are also bored skeet. Mr. Wright states further that the engraving and gold inlay was done in Germany by Bock. The stock and forearm were made by Rinehart Fajen who also supervised the oak leaf and pheasant carving.

Pulling the trigger causes the falling block type breech to rotate back and the carrier to rise apparently bringing up a fresh cartridge and ejecting the empty. The magazine is loaded by compressing the magazine spring with the follower and turning the inside tube which puts the follower into a slot to retain it while you simply lay the cartridges into the tube.

That number is repeated inside on the removable sideplate and hammer.

869.MARTIAL COLT SA. All matching LOW serial 3816 (recorded as issued in 1874 to Co. K, 4th Cavalry. Reference, page 24 of "Colt Cavalry and Artillery Revolvers, A Continuing Study"), the right side of the frame stamped in large letters "CO K 4 CAV". CONDITION: A superb crisp specimen that at first glance seems in near new condition with over 95% of the slightly thinning/pasty correct blue finish, very clear markings and excellent bore. In my opinion the gun was refinished for the Spanish American War, and possibly strangely not shortened to 5-1/2" barrel. From thirty years ago I recall another long barreled S.A. with lots of "original right texture" blue and case hardened finish, WITH the same CO. K 4 CAV" markings on the frame, and on the left grip, all done with the same set of dies!? Which at the time I thought were all original and of the period. I then reconsidered deciding the markings had to be Span Am., particularly when research discovered both the Colt Factory and Springfield Armory refurbished Single Actions for the Spanish American War. Now I'm not sure about the markings, other than they are "Period", i.e. struck or made during the period of use, be that 1874 or 1898! The blue and case hardened finish is less confusing. CONDITION: The pistol is absolutely excellent, in and out, BUT the blue and case hardened finish was done as refurbishing for service ca. 1898! At the time this pistol was in truly excellent condition, being nasty even the grips are in very fine plus condition, many would say excellent as the script "O.W.A." inspection mark (w/o date as is correct) is very clear! present condition is a very conservative 95% original finish as refurbished ca. 1898 A lovely Early Single Action. 4-4072 EV67 (15,000-30,000) SOLD $14,500
870."NO NUMBER" COLT ARTILLERY REVOLVER. One of the great rarities in collecting martially marked Colt Single Actions is a "no number" Artillery Model, i.e. the frame is not numbered, it is marked with letters. John A. Kopec states in his letter of January 18, 1993, to the consignor of this specimen that it is one of only 12 known specimens with "lettered" frames, and this one, "L.D.", is the only one observed with the "L.D." marking. The pistol is discussed in detail with many illustrations on pages 100 through 105 of "Colt Cavalry and Artillery Revolvers/a Continuing Study". The basic conclusion is this frame was one of 171 recorded "spare parts" frames: this particular frame having been manufactured in September, 1876, when it was inspected by Lewis Draper, a frame subinspector at the Colt Factory. For a complete detailed description see pages 103 and 104 as above. CONDITION: Complete and original throughout as assembled at the arsenal; the frame and hammer with some tiny storage marks or dings retaining 99.9% bright case colors, the backstrap, trigger guard and ejector rod housing with over 90% slightly thinning original blue, the barrel and cylinder with 98-99% original blue, the grips excellent to mint. 4-4083 EV68 (10,000-20,000) SOLD $12,500

Otherwise the gun is all original and excellent, the barrel with 90-95% original blue, the ejector rod housing with 70% blue on the rounded surface and all the blue in the protected areas, the cylinder with a uniform thinning 80% blue, the straps with 60-80% blue, no wear, just softening and mixed with age brown, the frame with 80-85% case colors, the balance a little bit silvery, about excellent grips, the right side inspected "D.F.C.", the left "1887/JGB" (an unusual inspection mark in that the initials are not within a cartouche). 4-98524 EV59 (8,500-11,000) SOLD $8,000

878.*HISTORICAL PAIR OF OFFICER'S MODEL COLTS. Both in caliber 38 with 6" barrels, both shipped with unlisted grips although they are now fitted with Colt medallion ivory grips that appear to be original. No. 451016 shipped December 8, 1919 to Ed McGivern, unavailable address. No. 423500 shipped June 14, 1919, to Whitney Sporting Goods Co., Denver, CO. With the Colts is a very fancy tooled leather double holster rig, the loop of the left hand holster with a very odd brand tooled into the pattern, the right holster loop tooled with the initials "RFW" (the "F" in the middle, could also be the initials "RWF".) The pistols have very sensitive crisp actions that obviously have been very very carefully "worked on". The backstraps, triggers and forestraps are all very professionally checkered like the work was done at the Colt Factory, but the letters make no mention of this. Accompanying the pistols are a number of letters, sworn statements, copies of various magazine articles, etc., all having to do with the history of these pistols and the famous shooters that used them. The most interesting of these is a January 18, 1942, letter from Frank Warren a.k.a. "Ranger Riley" wherein he details some of the shooting history of these revolvers called "The Perfect 38s". The early 1920's saw a huge discussion about which was faster, the old Single Actions, the later Double Actions, or the Automatics. "Outdoor Life" sponsored a National Contest to settle issue. The World Famous Fast Draw Shooter Ed McGivern used No. 451016 "Sheard Gold Bead front sight" to set a record of One fourth of a Second! To pull, shoot and fire! No. 423500 with Partridge sights belonged to Lee Knapp and was used by him to shoot a blackbird at 100 yards. The writer Frank Warren, goes on to say that he also made a personal record 1/4 second to draw, shoot and hit, with the "Ed McGivern perfect 38". He also stated that Tom Mix, (the late) Texas Ranger and Movie Man had a standing offer of $1,000 since 1924, until his death, for the "Perfect 38's". Obviously there is a great deal more printed material than we have space to mention. Suffice it to say that the many shooting records that Ed McGivern made have never been equalled. he was not only fast, he was extremely accurate! CONDITION: The pistols have been professionally reblued to almost new condition, the holster rig is excellent. 4-98871 EV66 (8,000-12,000) SOLD $3,000

927.SIGNIFICANT AND RARE SOUTH CAROLINA CONFEDERATE STYLE KEPI. Made of gray wool flannel with a red wool broadcloth band and top, red band is 1-1/2" wide , cap measures 3" high at front center and 5-7/8" up back seam, 5" diameter top, visor made of leather, brown on the underside and painted in a black patent leather finish on top, chinstrap is black oilcoth with brass slide on one end and oilcloth loop on other, one Federal eagle enlisted button on the right side and stamped tin button on the left, top center of cap is an embroidered Palmetto tree insignia in metallic braid, probably originally silver. It has been examined and certified as an original South Carolina Kepi that probably dates from about 1875, after reconstruction forces left South Carolina, likely a direct Confederate copy, adopted by a militia unit. Few of these militia pieces have survived as most pieces extant have been disguised as Civil War, therefore this item should be honored for both its age and as tangible evidence of South Carolina's unreconstructed stance after 1875. (The original letter of authentication will be furnished to the new owner.) 4-4069 JL559 (9,000-12,000) SOLD $PASSED
928.CONFEDERATE COLT DRAGOON. A Colt 3rd Model Dragoon, all matching serial number 14978, both sides of the bottom of the grips stamped "CO A.", the top of the brass back strap lightly and somewhat crudely engraved the shaded block letters "R H H" (not deeply cut but quite clear), below these in normal block letters "Co H 6 va" is lightly engraved (legible, but faint, there's more wear to brass in this area than where the initials only are). The trigger guard somewhat crudely engraved with shaded block letters "BTC". This "BTC" is repeated in simpler block letters scratched into the brass butt, the area to the right of the initials has numerous shallow dents as though further markings has been deliberately pounded out! All of the markings are period or genuine. The wood markings are clear but with some slight wear or thin characters due to the angle of the die strike. The brass markings are all quite shallow and were done with a knife tip or other sharp object, probably by the individuals themselves. Research of the 6th Virginia Infantry and Cavalry records (accompanying the pistol) indicate that there were two "RHH"s in the 6th Virginia Cavalry, but only one was in Co. H, Richard Henry Horner. It's interesting to note he was originally in Co. A and went into Co. H upon re-enlisting. There was no one with the initials BTC in Co. A. of the 6th Va. Cavalry (there was a Robert Carter which seems stretching the issue. "BTC" may well have owned the gun after Richard Henry Horner). Companies A and H of the 6th Va. Infantry had no one with either of these initials. The pistol is in an old black leather holster. CONDITION: Most of the screws are modern replacements, the steel parts have been cleaned to a dull natural steel color with overall scattered light pitting, the serial numbers all clear, the frame markings clear, the barrel address partially obscured by shallow dents, the grips about very good, the brass straps very good with some traces of the original silver plate. The very good holster with old replacement belt loop. An interesting historical Colt. 4-4333 EV58 (3,000-5,000) SOLD $8,500

Complete with the original black leather scabbard with hand sewn seams, the original scabbard throat made of a 1-3/4" wide piece of sheet copper with a single folded over seam, a heavy iron belt hook riveted to the copper, the copper attached to the leather with two rivets. The knife is definitely antique and probably made during the 1840-1850 period, but it could have been made during the Civil War. The engraving is antique or genuine, fairly good quality but certainly not done by a professional engraver. CONDITION: The knife's handle obviously missing for many years, the tang and crossguard a dark basically untouched heavily patinaed steel surface, the blade has been lightly cleaned enough to show the engraving, but not too far, too bright. The blade with scattered dark spots and some patchy extremely light pitting.

The tip of the scabbard with some minor damage, basically in fine condition. 4-4395 EV70 (3,500-7,000) SOLD $11,500
