834 - DRAGOON SHOULDER STOCK FOR A 3RD MODEL DRAGOON, MARTIALLY MARKED.
I have only handled and seen one Dragoon stock better than this one and it was a civilian. This stock has excellent wood showing only a very few handling marks. The cartouches are perfect. The metal is in deep, brown patina with generous traces of military blue in protected areas. This would make a fantastic addition to a fine condition 4-screw Dragoon.

824 - CASED AND FACTORY ENGRAVED, IVORY GRIPPED, 1851 NAVY REVOLVER.
This is a good condition Navy, factory engraved with factory ivories. The gun is generally sharp with nice markings and even the screw heads are still unbuggered. It does show wear and was obviously carried but never abused. It is cased in a factory box with replaced key escutcheon and is possibly re-lined, but has been this way for some time and looks very good, not detracting in the least. All accessories are very good condition and of factory type to include a Colt's Patent marked Navy flask and mold accompanied by a nipple wrench, cap box, opened cartridge pack from D.C. Sage, lead balls and key. I don't believe you can find a similar set of this condition and originality any cheaper.

823 - COLT, FIRST MODEL NAVY REVOLVER.
I don't have to explain to any Colt collectors how rare this gun is, especially in this condition as all of these guns saw heavy use in the gold fields as well as on the early frontier and during the Civil War. Their survival rate is lower than the Walker Revolver. This one is very sharp and crisp with 90%+ scene and great edges and markings. The grips show 30 - 40% varnish. Call quick or it'll be gone.

804 - WONDERFULLY EXHIBITION ENGRAVED, COLT ROUND BARRELED, POCKET NAVY CONVERSION WITH FACTORY IVORY GRIPS AND ULTRA-RARE LONDON ADDRESS.
This gun, although showing only the slightest trace of finish on the back barrel lug, has the finest engraving I've ever seen on any conversion or any Colt with the exception of Youngs Exhibition and earliest offerings. I am certain that it was engraved by Cuno Helfricht, as there is an 1860 Army with the exact style of scrollwork pictured in Wilson's earliest Colt Engraving book. That gun is in the Helfricht family collection and was saved by the engraver as a sample of his work. The style on both these guns is a copy of Youngs best offerings. This gun is in light brown patina and unblemished with the exception of a few shallow dings on the cylinder. It is sharp and crisp and the grips are original with the left panel showing more age coloring than the right, probably from being displayed for a long period. If you collect engraved Colts, you would be hard-pressed to find a similar example. This is a very rare gun.

This is an outstanding little gun showing 95% original blue finish on the barrel and frame. The cylinder scene is 100% and the grips are near mint. There is one small area on the left barrel lug that appears to have a few scratches that have patinaed over the years. It is nearly imperceptable. This is a very nice Root.

681 - 20TH CENTURY CASED, COLT 3RD MODEL DRAGOON WITH 8" BARREL AND HISTORICALLY IDENTIFIED.
Now here's something special. This is a fine condition 8" Dragoon that is just as sharp and crisp as during its period of use but with all its finish flaked or aged off. It retains most all of its cylinder scene and almost all its original varnish on the grips. This gun would retail for $13,000.00 - 15,000.00. It is cased in a 20th century, custom manufactured box that is inscribed on a plate on the lid stating that the gun was carried by William Bevery Caldwell during the War between the States. It was given to his grandson, David Keller Caldwell by his parents upon his graduation from Washington & Lee University in 1949. Well, my researcher checked this out and indeed, David did graduate from W&L on that date and became an author of books on sea life. He can be found on the net. His parent checked out as well, and were from prominent Kentucky families. Last but not least, we found William Beverly Caldwell, father of George Danford Caldwell and grandfather of David as a Major in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry, CONFEDERATE. Now, I can't prove that the gun came in this box, but it is made up for an 8" Dragoon. I also can't prove the former ownership. I did track down the facts as best as possible. I have priced it at the value of the gun alone and the box and accessories certainly add to the value. If I would have gotten this directly from the auction through the family, it would be $20,000+. This is a great item priced right for someone that wants what is almost certainly a Confederate outfit. There is even a locket with a dag of who I presume is Caldwell and his lady as well as a womans pocket watch.

678 - COLT. MARTIALLY MARKED NAVY/NAVY CONVERSION.
This is a crisp, martially marked, Iron Strapped Navay/Navy with standard conversion and USN stamped in the butt. The serial number on the cylinder is mis-matched, but within the military conversion range and perfectly acceptable. It has generous traces of original blue and case-colors scattered about its metal surfaces, mostly in protected areas and the balance is a grey/brown patina. It is a fine conversion.

676 - COLT OPEN-TOP .44 CALIBER REVOLVER.
This is a fine and rare Open-Top. It's in standard .44 rimfire and often carried by westerners with a Henry or '66 Winchester that used the same caliber. The barrel shows traces of original blue mixing with patina as is the rest of the gun. The markings and action are sharp and crisp. The grips are original and show numerous tack holes about them. The tacks were removed by a former owner and filled and are virtually imperceptable without carefull study. This could very well have been used by a Native American and then returned to originality by a collector that wasn't aware of the possible historical significance of the tacs. In any case, it's a great and rare gun in this fine condition. It's hard to come by a very good to fine Open-top under $10,000.00.

673 - COLT 1849 FACTORY, GUSTAV YOUNG ENGRAVED POCKET REVOLVER IN RARE, FORM-FITTED FACTORY CASING WITH ACCESSORIES.
This is a particularly rare little gun in that it is listed by serial number as engraved by the Gustav Young workshop in one of only two surviving ledger pages from the Colt archives and published in "The Book of colt Engraving". It is in dove grey patina but very nice. The ivory grips fit absolutely perfect but I have never seen Colt Factory grips with this much grain and they could very well be period replacements. I cannot guarantee them. This set would be worth the price if the gun had no grips at all. It is rare and the set is very, very nice.
