648 - INCISED CARVED KENYUCKY RIFLE IN ORIGINAL FLINT.
This, is a very nice, untouched, original Kentucky. Made prox. 1820 - 1830, this gun shows features of the later stages of a Golden Age Kentucky Rifle. It has NOT ONE SINGLE repair and is in ORIGINAL flint with a Golcher lock. The stock is tiger-striped with a checkered wrist and the carving on the cheekpiece is wonderfull. The gun has a .44 caliber rifled bore and shows little use and carefull preservation. I don't think I have to tell anyone how hard it is to find an un-messed with, original Flintlock Kentucky.

632 - JACOB FORDNEY LANCASTER RIFLE.
This is an absolutely untouched Kentucky that is marked on the both the lock and the barrel by J. Fordney. I bought this many years ago at the Pottstown Antique gun show and have had it on my wall ever since. In prox. 38 caliber, it would be hard to improve upon this gun which has not a single repair or enhancement to it.

628 - UNTOUCHED KENTUCKY RIFLE BY SAMUEL MCKOSH OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
This is a very nice, untouched, out-of-the-woods Kentucky found in 2004. It has never been cleaned or enhanced in any way with the exception of its conversion from flint to percussion during its period of use. It has a beautifull patina to its finely carved patchbox and sideplate and the tiger-striped stock is near flawless. It has a few wonderfull silver inlays, one being on the cheeckpiece in the form of an exquisite checkerboard. Truly a fine gun, it is maker marked on the barrel.

626 - WONDERFULL AMERICAN MADE RIFLEMANS KNIFE.
I bought this great knife at the Ohio Civil War show two weeks ago. It has every characteristic of a finely fashioned American Bowie, probably made by a Kentucky Rifle maker. The overall length of this knife was originally about 19". It has a 5 1/4" grip with wonderfull maple slabs on each side of the handle. The maple was unusually fashioned from a piece of tiger-striped maple with the stripes on the top and bottom. The maker then split the single piece and applied each slab to the sides of the tang before finishing. The result is a nice tiger-stripe on top and bottom and a birds-eye appearance on each slab face. It has a coffin-hilt and crossguard made of brass. The big clip-point blade measures 13 1/4", with the last 1/4 chipped off. This would make a wonderfull addition to a Kentucky rifle outfit.

620 - WONDERFULL SILVER MOUNTED, BRITISH OFFICERS PISTOL.
This is a wonderfull gun made by Brander and hallmarked in the 1760's. It is untouched and never enhanced messed with other than the polishing of the silver mounts that is perfectly acceptable on these fine guns. It was found in a fine, large home in New Jersey in a small flat trunk under shredded and treated newspaper insulation between the rafters in the attic about 30 years ago prior to the homes razing. It most certainly saw service during the Revolutionary War. This is a Queen Anne sized pistol with prox. 9" barrel. It is in fine condition and IT IS NICE !

325 - PLAINS INDIAN PIPE-TOMAHAWK. SUPERB CONDITION.
This is an absolutely stunning, hands-down original Plains Indian Pipe Hawk, and the best I've seen on the market. It is in beautifull patinaed finish and I can't express how wonderfull it is. It dates from 1850 - 1880 with a ton of character and just a glance tells the onlooker that it is 100% original and of the period, not a fixed-up or faked turn-of-the-century souvenir. This is the real deal and and we were lucky to aquire this through another dealer whose customer was upgrading to an earlier Eastern Hawk close to the 6-figure range. This Hawk is much more beautifull than the photos show.

pr__1 - BEAUTIFULL FULL STOCK NEW ENGLAND FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY RIFLE MARKED "A. PRATT" ON BARREL.
This is a stunningly beautifull full-stock AND EXTREMLY WELL-MADE RIFLE. It is made in beautifull cherrywood and 58" o/a. The barrel is 42 3/4" and the lock marked "Ketland" appears to be in original flint but I cannot guarantee it. It has a perfectly original, checkered wrist and some delicate silver wire inlaid scrollwork rear of the barrel breech. There is a splinter of wood on each side of the barrel forend cap that has been re-glued, and there are no other repairs or alterations. This repair should be redone. Heavily rifled barrel of 60 - 62 caliber. This is the third of 3 almost identical rifles that I have come across, and several renowned dealers, including Neil Gutterman and the late William Guthman have expressed to me that these Pratt marked rifles are quite possibly Massachusettes Militia Rifles. Alvin Pratt of Sutton, Massachusettes is thought to be the maker of these as well as Muskets for the United States under the contract to independent makers of 1808.

rh_1 - ULTRA RARE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND 19TH CENTURY RIFLEMANS HAWK.
I can't tell you how rare this item is to find. I just hope a buyer is not. We all know about and love a fine Pipe Tomahawk when it comes to the market. This is just a plain hawk, but from the form of the blade and haft, it presents itself as mid to late 19th century and is not an Indian product nor that of a fine craftsman. It is the type made for the pioneer and mountain man who needed a good strong hand axe and fighting piece without the frills. It can probably be dated by an expert in the field, but I'm not that person. Regardless, it is early, 100% original, and I'll back it to any expert a buyer may present it to.
