1206 - CASED AND SILVER-PLATED, CIVIL WAR ERA ANTIQUE BENTLEY REVOLVER.
I do not now, nor have I ever claimed to have expertise in the world of very fine and beautiful British handguns. 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 - EXCELLENT CONDITION 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.

This is a beautiful, factory engraved O/U with what are probably aftermarket/dealer carved pearl grips that are of the period. They are in the form of a wonderful Bison head. Two-line address on top of the barrel, 85% nickle on the left, 25% on the right. This is a nice 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.

1159 - ANTIQUE TARGET PISTOLS WITH ALL ACCESSORIES AND PRESENTATION PLAQUE.
That's right, the case was destroyed years ago during shipping. However these are an important and fine set of pistols with all accessories and are historical. The guns are very fine with all striping showing and show little to no use. All their finish has either aged or been cleaned off. The accessories are excellent save for the warping of a cleaning rod. My rough translation of the inscription is as follows; "F.A., President of the Innsbruck Academies Corps, 1st Company, in the months May/June 1848". This set was obviously presented during the height of the European Revolutions throughout the Continent from the late 1840's through the 1850's. Primarily socialist in nature, some monarchs and countries gave slight concessions to the revolutionaries while others squashed them.

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.

1116 - REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.
This is a great gun that has suffered from a bad drop. That is probably why it remains in nearly pristine condition. The good part of this gun is that it retains 98% original nickle and near mint grips. It shows almost no use or carry. The bad part doesn't paint an equally pretty picture. The gun has obviously been dropped and a poor attempt has been made to rectify the damage. First off, the barrel has been shortened and the front sight set back to a proper position. I would assume that the muzzle was heavily dented and had to be reduced to even attempt to salvage the gun to usable. The trigger guard had also been crushed and cracked and then pulled out to facilitate its use. If one has the skill to work on this gun, it would be a wonderful collector piece. The sight work could be improved upon and the trigger guard needs to be replaced or brought back to form. The only other flaw is that the grip-straps have been bent back slightly. A few good raps with a leather mallet could bring it back to perfection.

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.

1044 - WONDERFUL MATCHED PAIR OF OHIO MARKED FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY PISTOLS.
Straight out-of-the-woods and to our website, these guns are inspiring. For those of us that collect Kentucky Rifles, we know exactly how difficult it is to find a Kentucky Pistol. It is estimated by many that for every 100 or more rifles manufactured, only 1 or fewer pistols may have been made. To find a matching pair is next to impossible. While these guns will never be mistaken for those of Kuntz or Rupp, they are important and unique. They are not like any American made flints that I have ever seen and scream "Kentucky Pistol" with their tiger-striped maple stocks and inlayed embellishments of silver and brass. In addition, they are marked with makers name on the barrel "L. Gurley", possible city of manufacture "Boston, Ohio" on the diamond-shaped inlays on the left side of both guns and also have a large script "GYW" engraved on their butt-caps, possibly denoting the original owners name. I believe these guns to have been manufactured in Boston, Ohio, a small town in Clermont County Ohio that changed its name to Owensville in the early 1800's. Further research may prove very fruitful on this pair and I don't think it's a shot in the dark. The guns are beautiful with fine quality wood showing much curl. The locks are roller-frizzened and marked, "Ashmore". All the inlays show some type of engraving with typical s-curves, borders and crosshatching found on other Ky.'s of the period. These guns were probably made at the tail end of the Golden Age. The guns are well-made and an almost exact match and probably made for a gentleman of means as these would have been an elaborate pair of pistols for their time. Call for more details.

1044 - EXTREMELY RARE, ORIGINAL PAIR OF OHIO MADE FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY PISTOLS.
Right out-of-the-woods and on to our website, these are indeed a rare pair and of the most unusual Kentucky Pistols we have ever encountered. These guns are highly unusual in their form, style, scope of embellishment, and possibly identifiable markings. A good researcher may be able to track down both the maker, and the original owner. The guns are an almost perfectly matched pair with brass barrels marked on the top in script, "L. Gurly". They are "ALL-AMERICAN", showing curly maple stocks and early American features. Within the engraved diamond-shaped silver inlays on the left side of both guns is "Boston, Ohio". We believe this to be a town just a few clicks north of Cincinati that was re-named in the early 1800's to match that of the postmasters last name, Owensville. This information was found with a Google search but should be studied in-depth. Both guns are of finely figured tiger-striped maple and are embellished with both silver and brass engraved inlays. The locks are marked "ASHMORE" and the buttplates are classically engraved with what I presume to be the initials of the original owner, "GYW". These are a great pair of American Kentucky Pistols and it is estimated by many experts that over 100 rifles were made for every pistol.

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.

923 - EXQUISITE, UNFIRED, MUSEUM QUALITY PEPPERBOX. ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN AND IT IS IDENTIFIED.
This little beauty is in near mint condition as is its original casing and all accessories. It is the best I have ever seen and is ID'd in Indian Ink on the bottom of the case. It's original owner, C. H. Smith of Cooperstown, New York saw service with Battery "M" of the 3rd New York Light Artillery. It joined the regiment February 22, 1862, and served in North Carolina, and the 18th Corps, from March, 1862; at and near Fort Monroe, Va., from October, 1863; in Heckman's Division, 18th Corps, from January, 1864; in the 1st Division, 18th Corps, from March, 1864; in the 3d Division, 18th Corps, Army of the James, from May, 1864; in the Artillery Brigade, 18th Corps, from June, 1864, and in that of the 24th Corps from December, 1864. Commanded by Capt. John H. Howell, it was mustered out at Richmond, Va., June 26, 1865. Needless to say, Smith didn't take his fine little Pepperbox with him.

916 - CIVIL WAR 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 !

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.
