*SPRINGFIELD 1903. Cal. 30-06. SN 502345. Bbl 30”. This 1912 rifle appears to be in very good arsenal refurbished condition with exception of upper hand guard being changed. 1912 rifles are extremely rare in any condition as they were one of the main battle weapons of WWI.

*1903 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE WITH RARE WINDER TUBE SIGHT. Cal. 30-06. SN 623093. 24” bbl dated “1-16”. This rifle is equipped with the Winder tube sight, designed by Maj. C.B. Winder, U.S. Patent #1-339-248. Purpose being so bbl of gun may be concealed by brush or sandbags whether in a trench or behind a tree. Sight would give view needed to commence firing. Reference Brophy, p. 484. CONDITION: Metal to rifle is in excellent condition with receiver retaining 95-97% of finish, as with bolt. Bbl shows 98% of orig blue as does center band.

*1903 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE. Cal 30-03. SN 103577. 24” bbl. 1905 transition gun with a twist. This gun has what is called a Gardiner safety device which was patented “US Patent 911683 Patented 9 Feb 1909”. The finger grooves in the stock were removed from this gun with spring loaded sliding grasping grooves replacing them. This was to work a rod that connected to the sear assembly so that this gun could not be cocked or fired without pulling on the grasping grooves. The Gardiner safety patent information is relief milled into the left side of the wood directly below the receiver. Also cartouche area is milled out as to show how the safety works. CONDITION: Finish on bbl and receiver is 90-95%. Flat-top hand guard is in excellent condition. Stock is good as modified with a slight split just about the added grasping grooves on both sides. Bands retain 75-85% of the blue. Trigger guard and floorplate are 60% finished. Bore is bright but with very little rifling left as to this safety system must have been significantly tested. Smooth buttplate has finish worn. Mechanically sound. A unique addition for the advanced ‘03 collector. 4-57783 BK12 (15,000-25,000)

*1903 SPRINGFIELD LINE THROWING GUN. Cal. 30 smoothbore. SN 1307135. 24” bbl dated “6-29”. This is a good example of an 03 rifle modified by Navy to be a line throwing gun. It fits all criteria, bbl having been bored to smoothbore with all lands removed. Front sight has been removed, stock & hand guards have been cut down to middle band area, buttplate removed with a shoulder pad added. This appears to be an orig line throwing gun as modified by U.S. Navy & meets all criteria as per Brophy p. 151. This gun is not accompanied by crate or any of the accouterments. CONDITION: Receiver retains 90% of a refinished Parkerizing as does bolt assembly which has a later Remington striker on it. Outside of bbl shows 98% of a refinish with bore being smoothbore & slightly dark with some pitting but should scrub out to be a little better. Note that these guns were made from unserviceable rifles. Buttstock assembly has dings & mars throughout with no visible cartouche & is cracked & repaired behind trigger guard through wrist for some 3”. Hand guard assembly has a crack from behind canister bracket to sight collar & a couple of significant dents between canister assembly bracket & middle band. This would make a good addition to someone that has the accouterments & needs the gun, or as a good example of a line throwing gun by itself. 4-57789 BK37 (700-1,500)

Bolt has no finish, shows a little bit of oxidation & is of swept back variety. Bbl has 90% Parkerizing with Unertl scope blocks mounted just in front of receiver ring & behind middle band. Middle or front band looks like a modified 1917 Enfield band which is common of these heavy bbl target rifles. Only markings on bbl are on bottom in front of the stock marked with “J77” with a “P” underneath. Stock is a finger groove 2-bolt stock that has been cut 2-1/2” in front of middle band. Bbl channel has been opened up & inletted to accommodate this barreled action. Trigger guard assembly is in excellent condition retaining 90% of orig bright blue with minor scuffing in finish & same with magazine floorplate with exception of having palm rest mounted to bottom of it. Buttplate is checkered & retains 95% parkerized finish. Bore shows dark with strong rifling but is dirty & might clean up very well. 4-57816 BK48 (1,000-2,000)

Rubber eye piece in telescope is intact but dry. Optics appear clear, although a lot of debris inside scope. 4-57807 BK20 (4,000-6,000)

*1903 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE. Cal. 30-06. SN 1094435. 24” bbl dated “4-19”. Rifle is equipped with a Winchester A5 scope. Believe to be a facsimile or representative piece of what would be considered a sniper rifle. Scope, bases & rings are of the period, however it appears that the scope has been mounted in a couple of different places at one time or another. This could very well be an orig sniper rifle that has been modified through time. CONDITION: Receiver retains 95% arsenal finish with scope blocks mounted on front receiver rings but rear bridge has also been drilled & tapped and now has plug screws in it. Bolt is of later swept back type with 90% finish remaining. Bbl is in 98% arsenal finish with front bbl & middle band being the same. Front sight assembly is equipped with a sight hood. Rear sight assembly is orig & intact though not much use with scope mounted. Trigger guard assembly is 95% arsenal finish with some very minor dings under finish. Floorplate appears to be in 95% finish with some dry Cosmoline on it. Stock assembly is of period for a 1919 gun having two stock bolts & a faint but legible “DAL” inspection mark. Finger grooves are slightly worn, edges are reasonable although not sharp & there is some light scuffing to left side of stock just below wrist. Also, there is a filler on right side of stock just above rear stock bolt as to indicate some point in time this rifle or stock had a receiver sight mounted on it. Hand guard has been modified similar to that of a Marine sniper with scope block protruding off bbl through hand guard. This appears to be an assembled sniper rifle, not having been done by an arsenal, so we cannot guarantee its authenticity. 4-57786 (2,500-5,000)

*1903 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE. Cal 30-06. SN 470828. 24” bbl and dated “April 1911”. A very interesting note that this rifle comes with what appears to be a framed orig star gauging record from the Springfield Armory dated August 3, 1911. Record reads “Star gauging record for US Magazine rifle M1903 with SN of the gun”. Star gauging record is tattered on outside edges and trimmed to prevent further erosion, but appears to be 100% authentic. Mechanically fine. CONDITION: Rifle is in fine condition with 85-90% color on receiver, 80% color on bolt and 95% orig blue on bbl and front band. Lower band assembly and floorplate assembly have significant blue wear but do not detract from the gun in the least. JFC inspected single bolt stock is in very fine condition with minimal scuff marks and hand guard is the same. Checkered buttplate and screws retain most all of their orig finish. Front sight hood is a later replacement. Inspector’s note: Upon gauging the throat erosion on this rifle, it is slightly over #1 showing almost no wear with a bright shiny bore. 4-57815 (3,500-5,500)

Wood is in very good condition with sharp edges on finger grooves in a crisp clear “WES” cartouche, however there is a small nick in right side at the finger groove approx. 2” in front of rear sight assembly & there is some scoring to left side of buttstock comb as it appears that shooter may have been wearing glasses that scratched into wood. There are also some scores on left side of rifle, approx. 1” above rear sling swivel. None of these seem to detract from gun whatsoever. Buttplate assembly is fine checkered steel that retains better than 90% of orig blue. Floorplate assembly is in better than 95% condition with two small areas that appear to have been touched up, one being on very front edge of trigger guard & other being on trigger guard just behind floorplate. This rifle has a bright bore with just slightest bit of corrosion just in front of chamber but would appear to clean better. This is a very fine example of a first year National Match. 4-57806 BK36 (3,000-6,000)

LARGE LOT OF EPHEMERA PATCHES & BADGES FROM AN AMERICAN GI GUARD AT THE NUREMBERG WAR CRIMES TRIALS. This lot was purchased by consignor directly from former Sgt. Robert M. Brenneke who was a guard at Nuremberg trials for the 21 Nazi leaders in time frame immediately after cessation of hostilities in WWII. Sgt. Brenneke states, in an undated letter to consignor that he was one of the special group of 35 officers & 60 enlisted men who were hand-picked for that assignment. He states that he had been a member of the 94th Infantry Division until the time they were re-deployed back to the U.S. at the end of the war. Since he did not have sufficient points to merit re-deployment he remained in Germany on this selected special assignment. He states that he arrived at the “Palace of Justice” while renovations & repairs from bomb damage were still underway, prior to arrival of prisoners. After the arrival of 22 prisoners he was one of the prison guards in direct contact with prisoners. He states that almost immediately one of prisoners, Robert Ley, committed suicide so only 21 actually went on trial. He states he spent almost two years in Nuremberg with trials lasting a little over a year. He further states that Herman Goering was the only other prisoner to commit suicide by biting a cyanide capsule supplied by his attorney which he had secreted in a commode. The other 20 prisoners were subsequently executed, cremated & their ashes disposed in a river behind the crematorium. Included in this lot are two letters from Mr. Brenneke, an internet reprint of a 3-page article regarding “Corporal” Brenneke’s assignment to war trials; an order signed by Col. B.C. Andrus designing the crest for guards & Chief of Consul heraldic patches & badges; an orig 6-page document dated Nov. 20, 1945 entitled “Warcrime Trials Nurnberg (sic) Germany Nov. 20, 1945” which lists a short biography of all 21 of defendants on trial; a newspaper article from The Sunday Standard-Times, New Bedford, Mass., Dec. 22, 1946, with a picture of Mr. Brenneke holding a book with autographs of all 21 prisoners, which was later sold along with Goering’s sword & dagger; a newspaper page where Mr. Brenneke refutes a reporter’s claim to have visited Goering in his cell; prints of 15 black & white photos of inside & outside prison and of defendants & courtroom; two orig shield shaped color flashes (metal badges) worn by military personnel in the prison (visible in one of the above photo prints); an arm band for prison guards; one of the orig, extremely rare, shoulder patches as designed by Col Andrus & worn by Sgt.

*HISTORIC REMINGTON MODEL 8 RIFLE USED TO KILL BONNIE & CLYDE. This lot also incl. an affidavit by Reves Jordan, brother of Sheriff Henderson Jordan, who was in charge of the ambush. Jordan states that this is the gun that was used by Prentis Oakley in the shootout. This notarized document was executed Sept. 21, 1980. Another notarized document, executed Dec. 18, 1967, is signed by HN Davis, Sheriff of Bienville Parish following the retirement of Prentis Oakley, attesting that this is the gun by which they were killed. Cal. 35 Rem. SN 48990. Standard rifle with 22″ shrouded bbl, silver bead front sight & semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with nicely figured American walnut with uncheckered semi-schnable tipped forearm & semi-pistol grip stock with serrated steel buttplate.

This is the actual rifle used by Bienville Parish, Louisiana Deputy Sheriff Prentis Oakley to kill Clyde Barrow & possibly Bonnie Parker also. On morning of May 23, 1934, Bonnie & Clyde were traveling down Ringgold Road in the Parish, allegedly headed for Arcadia, Louisiana to rob the bank there. Bienville Parish Sheriff Henderson Jordan had received a tip of the pair’s planned activities & had contacted Capt. Frank Hamer & Manny Gault from Texas who had warrants for their arrests for murder. Both these men traveled to Bienville Parish & brought along Deputies Bob Alcorn & Ted Hinton of the Dallas County (TX) Sheriff’s Dept. to participate in the arrests. Sheriff Henderson & Deputy Oakley wanted to try to capture the pair but the Texas law enforcement people dissuaded them, stating that Clyde would never surrender. They set up an ambush on the Ringgold Road where they waited continuously for a day & a half until about mid-morning on the 23rd when one of the Texas Deputies spotted the gray Ford that the pair had stolen several days before up in Kansas. He notified the other posse members who were concealed near a truck they had commandeered to partially block the road. When Bonnie & Clyde stopped to ask if they could help the truck driver the posse opened fire & killed them instantly. Bienville Parish Deputy Oakley inadvertently fired before the signal stating that he had a bead on Clyde’s head & fired the first two rounds before the rest of posse opened up. It is well documented that Clyde was shot in left side of the head, as was Bonnie. It is almost certain that Deputy Oakley killed Clyde & may have also killed Bonnie.

Deputy Oakley was using this rifle that he had borrowed from his friend, a local doctor by the name of Shehee. Oakley had apparently previously borrowed this rifle for hunting in previous years & when he was notified he was to participate in the posse, not having a high powered rifle of his own, he borrowed this one from Dr. Shehee. This rifle remained in the Sheriff’s vault for many years afterward, apparently being taken out occasionally for display & hunting. It was purchased by the consignor in late 1960’s. Accompanied by several 1960’s pulp renditions of the story of Bonnie & Clyde, copies of numerous newspaper articles of their deaths, a paperback book, Bonnie and Clyde a Twenty-First-Century Update, Knight & Davis, published in 2003, a 33 rpm record titled, The Truth About Bonnie & Clyde, a hardback book, On the Trail of Bonnie & Clyde Then and Now, Ramsey, published in 2003. Also accompanied by a copy of a notarized statement by Reves Jordan, brother of Sheriff Jordan, telling of Deputy Oakley borrowing the rifle from Dr. Shehee; a notarized letter also from Reves Jordan identifying this rifle, by model & serial number, as the one owned by Dr. Shehee & used by Deputy Oakley when Bonnie & Clyde were killed. There is another identical statement by someone named Williams, who was the brother-in-law of Dr. Shehee.

The evidence affirms that this is the exact rifle which Deputy Oakley used during the ambush of Bonnie & Clyde & almost assuredly is the rifle that killed Clyde Barrow & probably killed Bonnie Parker. This rifle has been displayed a number of times but most importantly was part of the Remington exhibit at The Cody Firearms Museum in 1997 & is pictured on p. 278 in the book, The Guns of Remington, Madaus. Two pieces of museum label copy for this rifle are also included. CONDITION: Good. Very little orig finish remains, only in sheltered areas with most of surfaces being a blue/gray patina.

*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE ENGRAVED AND GOLD INLAYED MARLIN MODEL 90 TOM MIX PRESENTATION OVER/UNDER SHOTGUN. Cal. 20 ga. SN 1390. Spectacular little Marlin with 26″ bbls, choked MOD/IMP-CYL with matted top and single bead. It has extractor and dbl triggers. Receiver is spectacularly engraved with full-panel vignettes of a cowboy on a bucking horse, another cowboy on a horse, and a third cowboy holding a rope on the left side. The right side is equally elaborately engraved on the full panel with “TOM MIX” in script inlayed in gold, surrounded by engraved cowboy hat, Colt six-shooter, & a belt & holster rig. It has beautiful border patterns with foliate arabesque patterns on the forend iron, bottom of the receiver, & trigger guard. The forearm screws are also engraved, & the opening lever and top tang are engraved to match. The engraving extends about 3-1/14″ on each side of the bbl. It is mounted with exceptionally figured burled, shell grain, American walnut with fleur-de-lis carved and checkered forearm and semi pistol-grip stock, 14-3/8″ over an old Red Head waffle pad.

This shotgun was a rare Marlin special presentation given to Tom Mix in appreciation for his support of Marlin’s gun handling & safety program for American youth and also for promoting Marlin’s Model 100-S “Tom Mix Special” .22 rifle. One of these rifles is being sold separately in this auction. Accompanied by a Marlin factory letter signed by William S. Brophy identifying this shotgun and the reason for its presentation. It is well known that very few Marlin factory presentations were ever given out, notably only to Tom Mix and the equally famous Annie Oakley. Also accompanied by a large compilation of biographical information on Tom Mix, the man and movie star. He was born in 1880 in Pennsylvania and died in 1940 in an automobile accident in Arizona. At one time he was considered one of, if not the, wealthiest actors in Hollywood, earning as much as $20,000 per week at the height of his career. Pages 328, 329, & 330 of Marlin Firearms, Brophy, pictures the Model 100-S along with photographs of Tom Mix and the boys’ safe shooting program. Page 416 of the same book has 3 photographs of this very shotgun, including the Red Head pad. Page 540 of the same book has another picture of this shotgun stating that the presentation was made in 1937. The last line on page 541 and the first paragraph on page 543 of this book states that “On special occasions, Marlin has had one-of-a-kind engraved pieces done. Examples of some of these are illustrated in the section covering presentation firearms. The ones most deserving of recognition are the Annie Oakley and the Tom Mix guns. The Annie Oakley was engraved by Conrad Ulrich. The Tom Mix shotgun was engraved and gold-inlaid by two employees of a stationery engraving company that did not do many jobs in steel.” This shotgun is again pictured on page 610 of this book with more information about its presentation and names the engravers as Charles Preiss and Dan Cavanaugh of Lehman Brothers Company of New Haven, CT. Mr. Brophy considered this to be one of Marlin’s premier firearms, and there are more pictures and articles in this book than any other gun, including the Annie Oakley rifle. It is believed this is the only known Marlin presentation gun in private hands. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Near new. May have been fired, but if so, very little. Retains virtually all of its orig factory finish to both metal and wood with only a small rub on the bbl and a few light dings and scratches, and one small bruise in the forearm of the wood.

Orig life-sized zinc figures, particularly of sporting dogs, are extremely rare. This particular model is Illustration No. 73 in the Ornamental Iron Work Catalog of Janes, Kirtland & Company, dated 1870, and thus dates to some time in that era.

*EXTREMELY RARE CASED PARKER SMALL BORE A1 SPECIAL GRADE DBL BBL SHOTGUN 2-BBL SET. Cal. 28 ga. SN 212797. Only a handful of A1 special 28 ga were ever made by Parker. Built on a “OO” frame with two sets of bbls, 32″ choked FULL/FULL & 26″ choked CYL/CYL. Both sets of bbls have 2-3/4” chambers. Both bbls have tapered concave matted ribs with dbl ivory beads, doll’s head extensions, ejectors & gold plated Parker sgl selective trigger. Receiver is spectacularly full coverage engraved with relief vignettes of a flying duck in a marsh scene on left side, another flying duck in a marsh scene on right side & three flying ducks in a marsh scene on floorplate, all with fine stippled background. Balance of receiver, opening lever, top tang, trigger guard & forend iron on both ends along with buttplate are engraved to match.

Mounted with orig, extremely beautiful, presentation quality, streaky, honey & chocolate, French walnut with a replacement fleur-de-lis carved beavertail forearm on 32″ bbls & a fleur-de-lis carved & checkered orig splinter forearm that is probably orig. on the 26” bbls.

Accompanied by a Parker letter identifying this shotgun as having been shipped on Aug. 7, 1925 with 32″ bbls, straight grip & 2-5/8″ chambers. Also accompanying is a Larry Del Grego letter addressed to Mr. Dennis, wherein he states that the 32″ bbls are orig to this shotgun with the 26″ bbls fitted at a later date. He speculates that the 26″ bbls & beavertail forearm were fitted at Parker factory. He states that the “balance of the gun is all original”.

Our assessment of this fine Parker differs from that of Mr. Del Grego’s. But one thing we know for certain, as is a standard inclusion on Parker factory letters, it was not uncommon for owners of fine Parker shotguns to have changes made to suit their current needs.

Also accompanying is a collection tag from the James Parker collection that states that this shotgun was in the collection of a Dr. Chen of California. Tag also states that this shotgun is on p. 715 of book Parker Story Volume II, Gunter, et al. Also accompanying is a wonderful Huey oak & leather green felt lined case with green canvas cover. Page 715 of the above book discloses two full color pictures of this shotgun. A review of the records of Doug Turnbull Restorations disclosed that some time prior to 2003 the receiver of this shotgun was sent for some unspecified work. Speculation is that it was for re-case coloring. It appears that the address on the rib of 32″ bbls has been re-rolled. Drop at heel: 2-1/2″, drop at comb: 1-5/16″ .

EXCEPTIONAL CASED PAIR OF JOHN DICKSON & SON MUZZLE LOADING DOUBLE-BARREL RIFLES. Cal. 50. SN 3795 & 3796. Spectacular pair of rifles built in April 1883 for eccentric Scottish collector Charles Gordon. Mr. Gordon, in about 1875, began ordering firearms from the Dickson Company and continued through February 1906 until his death. During this period he ordered approx. 300 separate firearms, mostly in unusual or obsolete calibers or configurations. This set is unusual in two respects. One is its completeness and condition, and the other is the fact that one set of bbls is steel and the other Damascus. The steel bbls are 27-1/2″ and the Damascus bbls are 29-1/2″. Both have Whitworth rifling & both have low bead front sights and platinum-lined, 3-leaf express rear sights, one standing, and two folding with leaves marked 100, 200, & 300 yds. The steel bbls are numbered “1” and the Damascus “2.”. They are mounted in exceptionally beautiful marbled Circassian walnut 1-pc stocks with checkered forestock, single wedge and straight grip with raised tear-drop side panels and a dainty cheek piece, 14-1/2″ over a checkered steel buttplate with long stepped engraved tang. The tangs, lockplates, hammers, trigger guards, and small, 2-pc patch boxes are beautifully engraved with exceptionally fine English-style foliate arabesque patterns. The maker’s name is on each lockplate. The lockplates have niter blued stalking safeties. The trigger guards are also niter blued with long, checkered finger rests and stocks and bbls have sling eyes. Accompanied by its orig oak and leather-lined trunk case compartmented in the bottom for the stocks, a German silver capper, a round Hawksley oil bottle, an ebony or rosewood mallet, a tin of unopened Joyce caps, and an oak box with sliding lid filled with lead bullets. The lift-out top tray is compartmented for the two sets of bbls, the original hollow base bullet mold with sprue cutter, numbered to the rifles. It is also compartmented for two leather-covered Hawksley bag flasks, two nipple picks, another German silver capper, five ivory-handled tools, including nipple wrench, deburring tool, thread cleaner, and two turn screws. It also has two screw top ivory parts boxes, numbered “1” & “2”, containing two nipples each. There’s also a screw top rosewood box. There are other covered and uncovered compartments, for which the purpose is unknown. Accompanied by a letter from John Dickson & Son Company fully identifying this set as having been made April 27, 1883 for Charles Gordon. Also accompanying are various letters of provenance beginning in 1925 in Canada by someone named MacDonald, who was “ex-army” in Saint John, who got them from a castle “selling out in Scotland.” It further states he gave them to Gordon Kennedy in 1935, and Kennedy gave them to R. Vaughan for gas at a filling station in 1939. There is a bill of sale dated January 30, 1969, from L. L. Vaughan of Sydney, NS, selling this pair of rifles. There is a copy of a page of the register of John Dickson, giving the specifications of these rifles, and there is a copy of an article by Christopher Austyn, which appeared in Classic Sporting Rifles. This is most certainly one of the more complete sets in existence and by far the finest condition. CONDITION: Exceptionally fine. Appears to be unfired. Retains virtually all of their pristine factory finish to both metal and wood. Bbls have a small nick or two and the wood a minor handling and storage mark. Blue and Damascus patterns are brilliant, as are the case colors, and the wood is pristine. All the bits and pieces are equally new. Case is equally fine, with minor scratches and storage marks. Maker’s label in the lid is slightly yellowed with a small stain on the left edge. A truly exceptional set worthy of the most discriminating collector or museum desirous of an example of Dickson’s workmanship. 4-56674 JR643 (45,000-65,000)
