1024 - CIVIL WAR HENRY RIFLE WITH SHOULDER STRAP.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to invest in a better quality camera as I was unable to take a photo that could show exactly how nice this Henry is. It retains 50 - 60% untouched factory blue mixing with a deep, rich patina on the barrel. You can see the blue in the magazine channel, but blue is also scattered all about the remaining barrel flats as well. The edges and markings on the barrel are excellent as is the wood with pronounced Henry "Bump". This gun had been stored for years in the office of a machine shop and the frame had thick areas of dried out grease mixed with metal fines when I found it. I gently de-greased this to avoid scratching of the brass to reveal a fine, mustard colored patina. It does have a few scratches where someone attempted to remove the side-plates during its period of use, but not to detract from its excellent look. This is an outstanding Henry in the 8,000 serial range that is consecutive to a recorded martial and would probably fetch $50,000.00 or more at auction plus a buyers premium on top of that! This gun is available at a much more reasonable price right now. It's the best we've had in some time.

1013 - CIVIL WAR TOWER ENFIELD RIFLE DATED 1862. IDENTIFIED.
This is an absolutely attic-mint Rifle with early, rare 40" barrel. It is untouched, right out of the woods from a family in Northern Georgie who had Kentucky lineage but did not know the identity of the name carved into the stock. The only C.H. Ash in service North or South in 1863 was Charles H. Ash of the Lexington Rifles who later became part of the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry. The Rifle shows very strong markings, edges and action with some original color on the barrel. The wood is also near excellent and the protected areas of the gun show old, built-up dirt, dust, dried out grease and spider webbing.

1005 - CIVIL WAR 1ST MODEL MERRILL CARBINE.
I try to never sugar-coat any items that I sell unless the item deserves it. However I don't want to ignore an item when its just, well, honest. This is just a very good, solid 1st Model carbine that has seen use, but no abuse. It shows most of its inspector cartouche, descent markings and full, untouched wood. It will make a nice addition to a carbine collection or for dealer mark-up.

1003 - CIVIL WAR P.S. JUSTICE RIFLED MUSKET, 3RD TYPE.
Right out of an attic. Untouched and worthy of a collector that appreciates a good gun. This gun has a crack right through the lock area that needs repair and the bore is shot out. Markings are weak but its priced right and actually a very desirable gun that CW collects seek due to the appeal of the brass mounts.

This is an untouched, very fine condition musket as contracted for in 1789 and 1801 with 2,000 arms in each order. All markings edges and action are extremely sharp and crisp and although we have handled very few of these, it is the best we have offered and we have seen none better.

805 - WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 44-40 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

The barrel and tube retain 99% original blue and the frame 90% with some slight staining from age and not wear or abuse. The wood is excellent. This is a fine Western gun and a great example of one of the most popular collectable Rifles in the world.

436 - FACTORY ENGRAVED WINCHESTER 1873 RIFLE WITH DELUXE FEATURES.
This is a great Winchester at a very reasonable price. You probably can't get into a gun like this any cheaper. It is accompanied by an original factory stock record from The Buffalo Bill Historical Center, which houses all the old Winchester ledgers. The letter is from 1978 and states that this gun, serial number 22XXXX is 44 caliber, octagon barrel, plain trigger, checkered stock, pistol grip, gold-plated trims, $10.00 engraving (probably Ulrich), and under remarks is marked "bal-nic". This gun shows beautifull, near perfect, deluxe walnut stock, traces of silver to the barrel, loading gate, trigger and hammer, and a trace of gold over the silver on the loading gate. The frame was probably nickle but is now an untouched grey patina. The engraving is sharp and crisp and has a finely carved bear on the left side of the frame and a dogs head on the right. The engraving is still bold, as are the marking, edges and action. This gun was used, but not abused and is definitely a bargain for the buyer.

378 - BEAUTIFULL, NEW HAVEN ARMS MARKED 16" VOLCANIC CARBINE.
A fresh, out-of-the-woods Volcanic in untouched condition. As pretty and nice of a Volcanic that you'd ever want to find. Deep, blue-brown patinaed barrel with sharp edges and markings. It has little specks of raised corrosion that could be cleaned off. The frame is near perfect with a beautifull, mellowed aged nut-shell patina. The wood retains all of its varnish and shows numerous scratches and handling marks but is still beautifull and striking. Henry's and Volcanics are going thru the roof. This is a great little untouched gun priced under what you would normally find one for in this condition.

279 - CIVIL WAR CARBINE. Euro-import.
Now this is a neat little item that can still be found at a gun show on occasion, but they don't talk to you like this one. These little Austrian made carbines are thought to have been imported by both the North and South during the great conflict. In any case, this one just wreaks of history. It is in smooth, deep rich patina and the action is still tight. The wood is also in great shape and it just talked to me when it walked through the door of the Hamburg Pennsylvania Antique Gun show a few weeks ago. It was found in an estate sale with 2 other muskets, an Enfield and a contact musket. I can't make any claims as to its origin or usage, but coming from South Central, Pa. from an estate, it could very likely be a Civil War Veteran.
