This gun has not been cleaned, polished, buffed or in any other way touched.  It is absolutely new, still in the grease with 100 percent case colors on the lock assembly and breech plug and a very slightly deteriorating arsenal burnish on all the other parts.  The wood is new and blistered with its original oil finish and minor handling marks.  The bore is new, no blemishes.  The flint mounted on the hammer appears to be the one mounted at the arsenal.  The lead holding it in place has heavy oxide.  The flint appears to have been snapped against the frizzen a couple of times, which would have been necessary when installing it to insure it is functioning properly.  But this gun has never been loaded or fired.  Click on image for additional views.  SOLD!!

A Civil War French import Model 1850 Officer's Sword.  It has an amazingly nice blade, which is virtually unblemished and in original polish.  It has a very nice and tight ray skin grip with a brass mounted leather scabbard.  The throat of the scabbard is presentation engraved "Presented to John M. Dodge by his brother Loring."  John Dodge was a resident of Peoria, Illinois who enlisted as a Sergeant in the 108th Illinois Infantry.  He and his brother Loring can be found on both the 1850 and 1860 Census in Peoria, Illinois.  A neat, historic little sword with a blade in amazing condition.  SOLD!!

A really pleasant brown 44-40 Single Action manufactured in 1882.  The gun has all matching serial numbers.  The number is found on the frame, trigger guard, back strap, outside circumference of the cylinder and on the barrel, underneath the ejector housing.  The barrel address is complete as is the three line patent dates on the frame.  There is also a tiny 44 stamped on the bottom of the barrel, just in front of the cylinder pin and 44 CF stamped on the left front post of the trigger guard.  The cylinder pin is the original, which has the small hole drilled in the front.  The grips are authentic Colt of the period and look nice but probably are not originally from this gun.  The barrel still has good rifling and the action is quite nice, rotating effortlessly and locking up correctly.  An unmolested 7 1/2 inch 44-40 Colt Single Action with an original pair of Colt wood grips.  Click on image for additional views.  SOLD!!

A fine condition, early production Kerr Revolver, manufactured by the London Armoury Company in England.  The gun has considerable amounts of blue mixing with peppery rust, a tight crisp action and nice, finely checkered grips.  The barrel is marked on the left side LAC with English view and proof marks.  The left side of the frame is marked London Armoury in a small elliptical stamp.  The right side of the frame is marked Kerr's Patent 449.  The same number is on the cylinder.  Click on image for additional views.   SOLD!!

This little Lemon Squeezer is still in its original green  factory shipping box.   The box is correctly labeled for a 3 Inch blued pistol, which this is.  The box still contains all of the original factory papers and labels including a Piper & Taft Sporting Goods Store receipt.  The gun is sharp and crisp in its function with no pitting or rust.  Portions of the blue have thinned out to gray but overall it still retains about 60-70% of the original blue finish.  It all presents a neat little package.  Click on image for additional views.   SOLD!!

A gorgeous little Remington Over & Under Deringer in as near to mint condition as you can probably get.  This little gun is probably unfired and in .41 rimfire caliber.  The barrel is marked Remington Arms-UMC Co., Ilion, NY.  The gun has matching numbers, mint bores and temper blue on the screws, hammer and take-down lever.  The grips are sharply checkered and the gun is new inside and out.  There is no less than 99%  of the original Remington blue present.  The lighting in our photography does not properly represent the depth and coverage of the blue finish.  It is significantly better than it looks in the photos.  Click on image for additional views.  SOLD!!

This is an original 1808 Navy issue by S. North, Berlin, Con.  The gun has a 10 1/4 inch barrel and is 16 3/4 inches in overall length.  It has been polished bright and re-converted to flint.  The re-conversion is quite nice and follows the original lines very well.  It is missing its belt hook and has some light pitting with a few minor cracks in the stock.   A pretty scarce U. S. Martial flintlock pistol that might look better with a little patina on it. Click on image for additional views.  SOLD!!

The earliest Adams Revolver I have ever owned and it came right out of the woods in South Alabama.  It is .50 caliber with a 7 1/2 inch barrel and is double action.  The right side of the frame is marked Adams Patent No. 375.  The same serial number is found on the rear tang and the back of the cylinder.  The top of the barrel is engraved "Deane Adams & Deane, Makers to HRH Prince Albert, 30 King William Street, London Bridge."  The gun is in very good condition with a very light, smooth patination and sound grips.  The action functions perfectly and it is lightly engraved, as is typical of English pistols.  This gun was produced sometime around 1852 and somehow found its way to rural South Alabama. Click on image for additional views.   SOLD!!

Typical of early English Flintlock trade pistols, manufactured for the American market, this gun is in original flint with an 8 inch barrel and an overall length of 13 1/2 inches.  It is in about .52 caliber and is solid and sound.  It does not appear to have been cleaned or molested in any way.  The mainspring is weak but still bears tension on the hammer.  The top of the barrel is marked London and bears English view and proof marks.  The lock is marked JN JONES & Co.  The wood is sound, bearing most of its original finish with no repairs.  Judging from the lack of an arm on the pan and the gooseneck styling of the hammer, it was probably made no later than 1820 and could be considerably earlier.   A nice,  early flint in about attic condition.   Click on image for additional views.   SOLD!!

This 2nd Model Colt Square Back Navy is so early it is actually in, what is recognized as, the 1st Model Square Back range.  There really is no clear demarcation in the serial numbers between the 1st and 2nd Model Square Backs.  It is more or less a transition from one gun to the other.  Either way, the gun is absolutely correct in all respects.  It was actually manufactured in 1850.  All serial numbers are matching to include the frame, barrel, loading lever, barrel wedge, cylinder, cylinder pin, back strap and trigger guard.  The grips are original and "slim-jim" in shape.  The barrel address is the very early variant and mostly intact.  The cylinder still has a considerable amount of cylinder scene and shows the Ormsby signature under the Colt's Patent.  The gun has a very light, peppered texture.  The oxide was cleaned off it years ago but it was not buffed, filed or sandpapered.  Much of the silvery, cased surface is still showing on the frame, hammer, etc.  The nipples are original and the cylinder rotates and locks up fine.  Click on image for additional views.   SOLD!!
