1221 - REMINGTON 1867 ROLLING BLOCK PISTOL WITH 8-1/2" BARREL AND NEW YORK ENGRAVING.
This is another rare offering that is martially marked and was obviously sold to the dealer market as were the bulk of these guns that saw limited due to their somewhat un-popularity for Military use. It has been beautifully period embellished with Ivory stocks and silver plated over a New York or Nimschke style of engraving. This is a very striking gun and pairs of these have sold for large dollars at auction. The silver plating is nearly 100% and the ivory shows beautiful aging and color. Overall, condition is excellent.

1206 - CASED AND SILVER-PLATED, CIVIL WAR ERA ANTIQUE BENTLEY REVOLVER.

However, I know what I like and generally can recognize quality when I see it in front of me. This gun is in roughly 38 center-fire and is in near mint original condition, probably unfired.

1194 - CONTINENTAL FLINTLOCK PISTOL MARKED A.W. SPIES ON THE LOCK.
This is a beautiful gun in original flint. It has a 6" barrel with an almost 1 inch bore. The wood is near perfect save for a small splinter repair on each side of the fore-end at the muzzle, done so well as to be almost imperceptible. There is a small, sterling silver thumb piece and sterling barrel band at the breach, both having turned blue oxide. The touch-hole is platinum. The barrel shows most of its original brown striping that is starting to fade a bit and the grips are almost dead-perfect with beautiful geometric checkering. The gun is perfectly balanced and feels better in my hand than any Flint I have ever encountered. The lock is marked "A. W. Spies" and the barrel "London". The gun shows minor to almost no use. This is a great gun.

1178 - ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR REVOLVER, #2 JAMES REID WITH FACTORY (L.D. NIMSCHKE SIGNED) ENGRAVING.
This extremely rare little .32 revolver has the W. Irving address and could actually be a one-of-a-kind. I've never seen another but someone else may have. If so, I'd appreciate hearing about it. The gun is engraved in the unmistakable style of Nimschke and is signed "N" on the bottom left of the trigger spur. I will try and get more photos of this gun in the coming days. The condition is very fine with about 60% thinning blue on the barrel and excellent grips showing 90% + original varnish. The balance of the gun is a grey patina and the engraving is sharp and crisp. I just couldn't seem to get a good picture of the engraving so I'll try using another camera at a later date.

1149 - ALLEN'S PATENT DOUBLE-ACTION BAR HAMMER PISTOL WITH SOUTHERN AGENTS MARK.
Possibly used as a back-up pistol by a Confederate Infantryman, this is a great little gun in excellent condition. It shows most all of its original barrel polishing and traces of fire-blue on the protected areas of its barrel. The action, grips, and markings are excellent and this is one of the best I have ever encountered. The agent marking of "Spratley, Norfolk, Va." makes it even more special.

1114 - CIVIL WAR REVOLVER, REMINGTON-BEALS NAVY REVOLVER WITH ITS ORIGINAL HOLSTER.
This is an untouched rig that came to us from an inquiry to our website. As most of you know, the Beals Navy is relatively hard to come by in decent condition. This one is untouched and has never been on the market as far as I know. It's still dusty and dirty and needs a good cleaning and then oiling. It is all complete with a replaced lever latch and arbor that was on it when I got it, the owner obviously making an attempt to get the gun serviceable prior to sale. Neither are very noticeably different from an original. The gun is sharp and crisp and in a medium brown to gray patina. The hammer spur is broken off and I have it here somewhere, taped to a piece of paper. Finding it within my labyrinth of paperwork, telephones and half eaten bowls of cocoa-puffs will be next to impossible, so don't count on it being part of the deal. If I run across it someday, I can assure you I'll never remember what it was for. The holster is very nice with a bit of re-stitching. It has a very neat replacement plug that was hand-made and stitched to its bottom, definitely period work, very well done and it gives the rig a very cool look. With its fine grips, this is a good set and the gun alone is worth the price of ownership. The holster is a bonus.

997 - JOHN WALCH TEN SHOT DOUBLE-HAMMER POCKET REVOLVER.
If I had been a Civil War Cavalry Trooper, I'd have had 2 of these in 36 caliber in my pommel-holsters, one in my belt and others stashed about my person. With 4 of these in 36 caliber, a soldier would have close to 50 shots before he ran empty. What some people fail to note about these pocket sized guns is that they were made by New Haven Arms along-side the famed Henry Rifle. Each draw of the hammers (2-hammers) allowed for pulling of the trigger twice, firing 2 separate shots. And they worked! One company of the 9th Michigan armed themselves with these pockets. This one is in very good condition with strong action, edges, and markings. The left grip panel is cracked. A great little gun in smooth light brown/gray patina.

916 - CONFEDERATE PALMETTO ARMORY PISTOL.
This gun came directly from the Londeree family of Buckingham County, Virginia. I have the entire history on this gun and am waiting for a notarized letter from the kind woman who owned it. It belonged to Joseph Londeree (her great-great-grandfather) who was in Branders Company of Letchers Light Artillery. He was killed by a 24 pound shell bursting in front of a wagon he was driving in late 1862. I have copies of all the family's marriage certificates and genealogy charts from her aunt who received the Cross of Military Service from The United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1994 for her service in the US Military (WWII)and being a direct descendant of a Confederate Veteran. The provenance on this gun is A-1, rock solid. *****!!!! AT 3:12PM ON FEBRUARY 16, 2009 I SENT OUT MY EMAIL NEWSLETTER TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS. WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF RECEIVING MY EMAIL, THE GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDSON OF JOSEPH LONDEREE CALLED TO PURCHASE THIS PISTOL. AMAZINGLY, HE IS ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS AND A FRIEND AND FELLOW COLLECTOR OF US ALL, RUSTY HICKS OF VIRGINIA. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!****

SOLD TO REALLY HAPPY NEW OWNER !

906 - ADAMS PATENT REVOLVER, CASED WITH ACCESSORIES WITH FACTORY IVORIES AND UN-RESEARCHED DOCUMENTED HISTORY TO COLONEL JOHN T. WILDER OF INDIANA, COMMANDER OF THE FAMED "IRON BRIGADE".
This item is currently being researched to authenticate the provenance of its past presentation and ownership. We ask that anyone familiar with this piece or the backround associated with the information provided on the brass plaque to contact us to help with the proper identification of this artifact. It was supposedly the former property of Margaret Wilder Wieser who's husband and direct descendant of John T. Wilder, died in 1972. This gun was reported (on the plaque) as having been presented to Colonel John T. Wilder by the "Friends and Citizens of Greensburg, Indiana". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

876 - PAIR OF PERCUSSION DUELING PISTOLS WITH ACCESSORIES, LIEGE BELGIAN MADE 50 caliber.
This is a very strong condition pair of unmarked Belgian duellers in desireable 50 caliber. They show wonderfull wood carving on the for-ends and flutes to the grip areas. The locks, lock-plates and butt-plates show finely elegant hand engraving and the grips have ivory caps between the stock and plates giving a very pleasing and classy look. The metal on these guns is a fine, untouched brown patina. Worthy of a casing if you can find one, these guns are accompanied by their original ramrod and wooden hammer.

872 - ADAMS PATENT REVOLVER MANUFACTURED BY THE LONDON ARMORY COMPANY, CIVIL WAR REVOLVER.
This gun was probably manufactured prior to the Civil War but walked into the Richmond Virginia gun show a few weeks ago and had been in the same family for at least 80 years. I have no doubt it saw Civil War use. It shows about 80% aging blue on the barrel and frame and about 40% of the same finish on the barrel. The grips are finely checkered and in great shape. For those unaware, this is actually a very rare configuration. It is a large bore gun (prox. 40 caliber) on a smaller-than-average frame, something an officer and gentleman of the South would have been proud to carry.

557 - MANHATTAN NAVY REVOLVER WITH FACTORY PEARL GRIPS, FACTORY ENGRAVED AND HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED TO CAPTAIN ANTHONY BOWEN OF THE 173RD OHIO.
This wonderfull gun was sent in from California where it has resided for years. This is a factory engraved gun with factory pearl grips, a very arre gun in and of itself. It has a beautifull inscription on the backstrap, "Presented to Capt. A. W. Bowen By Co. E, 173rd O.V.I.". Our recent research on this gun shows that Bowen was originally mustered into the 6th Ohio in 1861 as a private and was wounded at Chickamauga to muster out in June of '64. He would have also seen service at Shilo and Stones River. He was commissioned into Company E of the 173rd in August of the same year to see service at Nashville. This gun has seen fairly heavy use but has a wonderfull look. The grips are gorgeous and the engraving is still nice. It has a silver plated finish that is contemporary to the period, but appears to have been done after some use or after the war for preservation purposes. It has turned a deep, silver-blue patina and looks awesome. I believe there is a likelihood that this gun is one of two things. It was either captured from the enemy and then plated, inscribed and presented to Bowen, or it was plated by Bowen after the war to preserve it and the memory of his service. Regardless, it is a great, inscribed veteran of the conflict to a soldier that had great history and one who was wounded in battle.

294 - CIVIL WAR GUN. ADAMS REVOLVER, FACTORY ENGRAVED AND FACTORY PRESENTED IN 1864. CIVIL WAR VINTAGE DATED 1864.
This is a great Civil War era Adams Revolver that is factory engraved and inscribed on its top strap; "Major Rawlings from Robert Adams" followed by the adams address. This inscription is 100% original and extremely rare, however I can make no claims as to any association to any Confederate Officer or Soldier with whom these guns were so popular, as I have not had time to have the name researched. I will leave that up to the buyer of this outstanding engraved specimen. The gun is in excellent overall condition to include prox. 80% original blue and near mint action, markings and grips. A vintage Civil War era Adams, the likes of which we may not see again for a very long time.
