3136 - COLT 1851 NAVY REVOLVER WITH RARE, MATCHING CANTEEN SHOULDER STOCK.
This is a great gun out of my personal collection. I bought it over 10 years ago at the Pottstown, Pa. show and paid handsomely for it. This gun is untouched and in rich brown patina blending with generous amounts of blue and case-colors in protected areas. The frame shows some bright colors on each side where the stock protected it. The canteen stock is in equally fine condition and matching. The set is attic mint, sharp and crisp to include all action, edges and markings. You may stumble across a British proofed gun every year or two with a stock, but they are generally a bit tougher to sell to American collectors than a Hartford gun that stayed home. This one is sharp, rare, available and red, white and blue all the way through.

3132 - CIVIL WAR COLT PRESENTATION POCKET REVOLVER AND HOLSTER PRESENTED BY MAJOR-GENERAL JOHN C. FREMONT TO JAMES L. FOLEY, THE CAPTAIN OF "THE FREMONT GUARDS".
This is one of the most historical guns that we have ever offered. I'll assume that most collectors know of John C. Fremont, one of the most famous Americans of the 19th century. American military officer, explorer, Indian fighter, the first candidate of the Republican Party for the office of president of the U.S., and the first presidential candidate of a major party to run on a platform opposing slavery. Foley was Captain of an elite force of handpicked soldiers known as "The Fremont Body Guards". This guard was a body of cavalry selected from a host of applicants on account of the high intelligence, the fine physique, and the manifest aptitude of its members for military service. All were required to be expert horsemen and marksmen. Without question it was one of the finest bodies of cavalry ever seen in the United States service; made up of ardent young Americans, mainly from Ohio and Kentucky, including about thirty foreigners. The Guard especially distinguished intself in the battle of Springfield, Missouri, where numbering one hundred and fifty men under Major Zagoni, it routed a force of two thousand Rebels. They were exposed to a terrific fire, and fifty two men, over one third of the entire number fell upon the field. The Rebels soon broke and fled with a loss of one hundred and seven men killed and thirty captured. Among the dead were one Colonel and several Captains; and among the prisoners was one Lieutenant Colonel. The field of battle gave distinct evidence of the fierceness of the conflict. In one place not ten yards square lay four dead horses, and near them their fearless riders. This victory was achieved after a march of one hundred and five miles in forty eight hours. This was the first major Union Cavalry Charge/Battle and was the last for the guard, which was broken up soon after. Foley went on to become Major of the 10th Kentucky cavalry. There is a well-known steel engraving of the charge at Springfield that I believe was in Harpers Weekly in 1861. I have a stack of documents that accompany this gun and holster. Great stuff.

3122 - GAYLORD MARKED HOLSTER FOR FOR THE COLT DRAGOON REVOLVER.
This is an excellent, very sound holster most often associated with the Colt 3rd Model Dragoon, cut-for-stock. Some of these have been available over the years that are nearly flat-mint condition. This one is excellent, not mint as it shows the slightest wear. The Gaylord marking on its reverse is a bit faint. Other than that, it is outstanding.

2079 - OUTSTANDING, COLT CIVILIAN THIRD MODEL DRAGOON.
This is one of the best Dragoons that I or anyone else, be it dealer or auction house, has offered in the past 5 years. The pictures speak for themselves. It retains about 70% original blue on the barrel (mostly on the side lugs and barrel bottom) blending with untouched patina. The cylinder retains a nearly perfect, deeply rolled cylinder scene. The balance of both the barrel and cylinder is a mixture of plumbing blue and light brown patina. The lever and hammer show smokey case-colors and the frame shows 95% bright colorful case-hardening on both sides. The grips have all their varnish with minor handling marks. This is a great Dragoon.

2076 - HISTORICALLY INSCRIBED COLT, MODEL 1851 NAVY REVOLVER WITH ORIGINAL MILTARY FLAP HOLSTER.
This gun came to us right out-of-the-woods and has been in my collection for 2 or 3 years. Fitch mustered as a Captain in the 35th Missouri infantry in 1862 and eventually became its Lt. Col. and commander. During the Battle of Helena on July 4, 1863, Fitch was cited for gallantry leading his troops in a counter-attack on Helena by Confederate General Theophilus Holmes and a superior force. It is thought that this revolver was captured from a Confederate Officer by Fitch or his troops and inscribed and presented to him. It is in deep, untouched patina and shows use. Solid Missouri history on a Colt Navy is rare.

2043 - FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT, MODEL 6A WITH SPECTACULAR ORIGINAL RAISED-CARVED IVORY GRIPS. CASED WITH ALL ACCESSORIES.
I can't tell my clientele how rare this gun is, I can only make the attempt. This rare little gun is absolutely wonderful, and although not mint, it does retain most of its original finish, about 90% on the frame and barrel lug, 30% on the round barrel and 60% mottled case-colors on the rammer and lever. The balance is an untouched medium brown patina. The engraving is late vine as is pretty much standard in this late serial range for the Root models. The grips are outstanding and rare. Only a handful of true, Colt Factory raised carves are known to exist for this model, and this is one of them with the Eagle and Snake motif. They have a small chip in the front toe. The gun is in its original casing, which in itself is very rare in the 4-1/2" form. The box and accessories are in very fine to excellent condition and I will attempt to get a photo of these up on the site in the next day or two. This is a classy set and priced way under what you might have to pay at auction.

2029 - ORIGINAL ANTIQUE COLT WALKER REVOLVER, A - COMPANY No. 49
This is one the the best Colt Walker Revolvers offered for sale in the last 20 to 30 years. Manufactured for Colt in the factory of Eli Whitney, the Colt Walker Revolver (sometimes referred to as the Whitneyville-Walker Revolver) has long been recognized as the most desirable collectible handgun in the world and certainly the prize of any Colt collection to include the rarest Patersons. Many collectors have spent a lifetime saving and searching for the original Walker to place in their collections. Due to their extreme rarity and desirability, only those few that are wealthy enough (or lucky enough) can ever hope to own one, much to the dismay of the rest of the collecting fraternity. Such is the case in any form of high art or collector venue. A detailed study of Colt Walker Revolver, A-Company 49 was undertaken through complete dis-assembly of the revolver and careful examination of each component. The original walnut grips are in excellent condition for a Walker, with the number 49 marked in the proper method and location on the spacer, not as typically found on other Colts. Generous traces of the original cartouches are visible, but not totally distinguishable, on each grip panel. The barrel, back-strap, and frame retain the bold "A-COMPANY 49" marking, and the trigger-guard and cylinder the proper small abbreviated version. Both strap and guard retain the smaller "P" sub-inspection mark of Nahum W. Patch in the proper location. Additional markings include "U.S." over "1847", on the right side of the barrel lug above the wedge, small stamp "49" is located in the proper areas as well as the small "c" and "269" where appropriate. Don't bother asking where these markings are. Colt Walker owners and dealers keep a little mystery in sharing such information to prevent the fakers from getting too good at their craft. If you would like to send me the asking price, I'll gladly fill you in after your funds clear my bank. The wedge is original but lacks any marking. The "269" designates that this was the 269th Walker of the 1st government order, 220 of the "C" Company guns having been made first, and then 220 of A, B, D, & 120 of E, in that order. Reports on the cylinder scene of this Colt Walker have been described previously as merely "traces", however as can be seen in the photos, a careful and professional cleaning of its heavy, dried brown grease and grime in the late 1990's revealed most major characters in the scene, as well as most of the "Model U.S.M.R." and "Colts Patent" motifs. The extreme pressure-roll mark is clearly visible in the photos. This qualifies as a very good original cylinder scene, especially for a Walker. The interior parts, including the hand, bolt, and both springs are completely original, a great rarity on a Walker revolver. All are in very fine condition, and show little use. The rifling, edges, markings, screws and action are very good to fine. The Walker retains a beautiful, untouched medium brown patina on the barrel, frame, and loading lever assembly, and the brass parts a mellow brass patina. The cylinder is light gray-brown patina. The loading lever screw and the hammer screw, which were previously reported as non-original, have been upgraded with screws from an early Colt Dragoon, and are not distinguishable from originals. The lever-catch spring is the only replaced or repaired part on the revolver. The overall appearance of the Walker is striking, showing age, but not much use. This Walker was at the Texas Gun Collectors Association’s "Parade of Walkers" in May of 2003, and in my opinion, was in the top 10 in terms of its fine condition and is certainly in the top 25 - 30 known (prox. 225) examples world-wide. It is one of the most complete examples known. This Walker was uncovered by well-known gun dealer Charles Layson of Lexington, Ky. in the 1970's. Charles personally told me in the late 90's that it was sold to him by another small town gun dealer from Western Kentucky, who purchased it from a man who walked it into his store. Mr. Layson sold it to Mr. Kerry Kenady, a collector from Crestwood, Ky. Mr. Kenady sold it to Marty Lane, dealer from N.Y.C. in the early 1990's at a Nashville, Tennessee gun show, who sold it to Mr. Bill Serri. It was then purchased in 2002 from Mr. Serri’s estate by me. My expertise in Walker Revolvers is derived from studying over 60 originals of these rare arms, as well as uncounted spurious examples in the last 20 years, most with complete disassembly. I have also studied their history. I was selected along with Bobby Smith and Paul Sorrell by the Texas Gun Collectors Association to be a member of its committee for authenticating the "Parade of Walkers" in May of 2003. I regard Walker Revolver A-COMPANY No. 49 as one of the finer surviving examples of this rare collectable arm, and it is unquestionably guaranteed to be an original and genuine Colt Walker with the exception of the aforementioned screws and lever latch. THIS GUN IS ROCK-SOLID, not one of the shaking, rattling Walkers that one normally finds for sale. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable collectible Arms extant.
