Jacob & John Haeffer worked in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and are listed in court records of 1774 with records indicating they probably worked as gunsmiths during the Revolutionary War and that John Haeffer in 1805 had a contract for 500 muskets. Jacob Haeffer, apparently, frequently signed his rifles with a stamped Indian head between the initials. This rifle does not bear the Indian head stamp and therefore is most likely the work of John Haeffer. The bbl is secured with three wedges from the left side and the cheek piece has an eight-point, silver star inlay. The furniture is all brass with two faceted guides and nose pipe. The trigger guard is undecorated as is the smooth brass butt plate with wide faceted top tang. The lock is unmarked but appears orig. to this rifle. CONDITION: Good to very good. The bbl, lock and hammer retain a very dark brown patina with some very old wrench marks on the bbl and moderate to heavy pitting around the flash hole and the lock plate. There is moderate burn-out behind the pan. The stock, with its beautiful tight tiger striping, has a repaired fracture on the bottom and in front of the lock. It also has a replaced piece of wood on the right side of the top tang. There are gaps at the back of the top tang and around the lock plate, apparently from prying out these pieces. There are repaired cracks around the front wedge on both sides. This is a very fine early Kentucky attributed to a fine maker that further research is needed. 4-45387 JL271 (3,000-5,000)

PAINTING OF CONFEDERATE NAVAL ENGAGEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO XANTHUS SMITH. This sepia-tone oil on artist board or paper painting depicts a Civil War engagement between a Confederate fort and a large group of Federal iron-clad ships. While we are not certain where this is, it is very possibly Fort Fisher in North Carolina. It is known that in this Naval engagement a number of new iron-sided ships were used in the attack on the fort. The painting is literally filled with incredible activity, excitement and chaos. The painting is unsigned, however we attribute it to Xanthus Smith. Smith was born in Philadelphia in 1839 and at the outbreak of the Civil War, joined the Union Navy. While on the ship Wabash, Smith created a number of drawings and sketches, as well as paintings of Union ships. Some were done as commissions for fellow shipmates and officers. Many of his paintings were of ships and/or Naval related scenes. Sight Size: Approx. 20″ X 13-1/2″. CONDITION: The painting is in generally very good condition with some overall soiling that should clean reasonably well. There are a couple of small, but not detracting, paper losses in the upper left hand sky above the exploding cannon. 4-9999-2 (3,000-5,000)

HISTORIC AMERICAN CIVIL WAR HIGH GRADE PRESENTATION SWORD, WAIST BELT AND PLATE OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL MARK FLANIGAN, 24TH MICHIGAN (IRON BRIGADE) INFANTRY BY TIFFANY AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. One of the most historic presentation swords, with significant history related to The Battle of Gettysburg, to be offered for sale at public auction in a number of years. The 24th Michigan Infantry of the famous “Iron Brigade” is one of the most fabled and hardest fought units of the American Civil War and Lt. Colonel Mark Flanigan, formerly the sheriff of Wayne County, Michigan, one of its most valiant and colorful characters. The sword is a high grade presentation non-regulation staff and field officer’s sword from Tiffany & Co., New York. The blade is single edged with a quill back, slightly curved with three fullers running approximately down 60% of each face. The flat panels have an etched design of a spread winged American eagle within a floral panel on one side and a fancy “U.S.” with a floral panel on the other. At the ricasso is stamped “Tiffany & Co./New York.” On the reverse ricasso is stamped the legend “Warranted to cut wrought iron.” The hilt is of gold and silver-plated cast brass with a flat counterguard cast heavily in relief with laurel leaf designs, a miniature sword hilt, furled flags and a circle with “US” set within. The “US” is unusual having the “S” set within the “U.” The oversized quillion is a lion’s head. The single knuckle bow is silver-plate with a twisted cord effect. The pommel cap is backwardly bending full breastplate of Roman armor, complete with skirt and cape, with crested helmet surmounting. The grip is of fine silver with triple twisted silver wire wrap. The scabbard is of gold plated steel, heavily engraved with American flags, Roman armor, weapons, trumpets and acanthus leaf. Just below the throat on the reverse side is a small ribband with “Tiffany & Co.” surmounting a small oval with an Old English “M” within. The throat is silver-plated brass. All three mounts are of silver-plated brass and are heavily engraved and cast in high relief. The ring mounts are raised laurel leaf with ribbon ties. The top mount has a beautifully engraved American eagle perched on the national shield, the middle mount is engraved with a repeating fan-like design and the drag engraved with scrolls, fans and an intertwined “U.S.” The engraved presentation is found on the reverse of the scabbard as follows: Presented to/Lieut. Col. Mark Flanigan/24th Mich. Inf’y/Sheriff Wayne Co. Mich./by his Deputies// Anson Waring/ Martin Lamb/ Jas. McKay/ C.C. Bird/ T.W. Ray/ Francis Hess/ Peter Dixon/ Herman Donstadt/ L.P. Durkee/ John Ochs/ W.Y. Rumney/ J.F. Starkweather/ J.J. Watts/ Seth Goodwin/ Thos. Funke/ Wm. Burke/ P.K. Morris/ Abijah Joy/ Wm. Ringwald PROV: This sword was originally part of the Philip Metacus Collection. We are told a full illustration of the sword is in the book The American Sword published by Man at Arms. Also full page illustration #350 in R.L. Wilson’s book “Steel Canvas”. Included are various photocopies of information relating to Flanigan and his sword. CONDITION: Very Fine. The blade retains much of its orig. armory finish with spotty surface rust at the ricasso and near the tip. The hilt shows light use and some light wear to gold and silver-plating. Hilt is tight. The scabbard is excellent with light surface scratching from normal wear. Neither the sword or the scabbard have been cleaned and retain a medium and attractive patina overall. Flanigan’s waist belt is of fancy red Russian leather, regulation style, having three horizontal bands of gilt wire decoration. The tongue of the belt is embossed in gold leaf “Evans & Hassall/ 418 Arch Street/ Phildela” in an oval. The waist belt plate is a cast brass and gilded U.S. Model 1851 officer’s eagle belt plate. The plate is cast in high relief and is stamped “Evans & Hassall. Phila.” on the narrow tongue. CONDITION: Very good, the leather is flexible, marking very readable, however, shows medium to heavy use. The edges of the belt and straps are scuffed and a bit discolored. Some stitching is loose with minor losses and fraying to the gilt wire decoration. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Flanigan was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1825, but settled in Detroit, Michigan as a butcher prior to the war. Becoming a community leader he ran for the office of Sheriff of Wayne County and won in 1855. It is that position he held when he offered himself into the service of the United States and was commissioned Lt. Col. On August 15, 1862. The regimental history of the 24th Michigan written in 1962 by Donald L. Smith states that the Detroit Free Press of August 1862 records the presentation of this sword to Lt. Col. Flanigan by the deputies of Wayne County, Michigan (along with presentations to other officers) at a regimental ceremony just prior to leaving for war. The 24th Michigan Infantry of the Iron Brigade needs little introduction to Civil War students. Their service took them to Washington, D.C., Richmond, through the Battle of Fredericksburg, the “Mud March”, Chancellorsville Campaign, Gettysburg (the first infantry force to reach the field under Major General John Reynolds where the 24th Michigan lost over 80% of its men), Mine Run, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania (assault on the salient), Cold Harbor, Siege of Petersburg, and Weldon Railroad. The 24th Michigan was the regiment selected to be the escort of Lincoln’s funeral. Flanigan was conspicuous is his courage and leadership against the enemy in the Battle of Fredericksburg. The 24th faced their real baptism of fire there and were involved in the futile attempts to take Marye’s Heights. Flanigan would be recognized with a brevet promotion to Colonel (March 13, 1865) as a result of his gallantry. Flanigan’s real test of valor, however, came at the Battle of Gettyburg. Flanigan and the 24th Michigan advanced upon Gettysburg along with the 2nd and 7th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana of the Iron Brigade under Major General John F. Reynolds. In front of C.S. General Archer’s Brigade, the 24th was on the extreme left during a gallant charge which swept over the hill, across Willoughby Run capturing most of the Brigade and General Archer himself. This was a great victory on the first day but not without cost. The 24th Michigan’s color bearer was killed, Adjutant Rexford severely wounded and Lt. Col. Mark Flanigan’s left leg shattered by a Confederate artillery shell. Flanigan would not recover enough from his wounds to continue on with his regiment. With his left leg amputated, Flanigan was honorably discharged on November 21, 1863. In honor of his services and valor Flanigan was subsequently honored with a brevet promotion to Brigadier General on March 13, 1865 “for meritorious conduct in the Battle of Gettysburg, and for services in that engagement.” Flanigan returned to Detroit, took up occupation as an official for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and passed away on October 4, 1886. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Elmwood Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan (Section D, lot 66). 4-45188 CW (50,000-75,000)

HIGH GRADE U.S. MODEL 1851 STAFF & FIELD PRESENTATION SWORD MADE BY C. ROBY TO COLONEL HARRY HARRIS DAVIES, NEW YORK. A simply beautiful high grade presentation sword having a slightly curved single edged blade signed “C. Roby & Co,/W. Chelmsford, MASS” on the ricasso. Both faces of the blade are heavily decorated with etching with eagles, flags, stands of arms, floral decoration and “U.S.” The half basket guard is gilded cast brass having sprays of laurel, scrolls and an inset rococo escutcheon surrounded by stars all cast in very high relief and gold plated. The grip is also of gold plated cast brass simulating leather and wire wrap. The pommel is in heavy relief with scroll and floral work overall. Attached to the knuckle bow is a regulation black and gilt cloth sword knot. The scabbard is of gold plated brass with engraved decoration over 80% of the entire body. The scabbard is engraved with floral scrolls and flames having a spread winged eagle and shield on a cloud with a sunburst and arch of stars above. The mountings are cast in high relief all having classical scrolls and floral work. Just above the top mount is the presentation: Presented to/ Col. Harry Harris Davies/ by his numerous friends in New York City, Brooklyn/ and Bayonne/U.S. of America. This lot is also accompanied by a notebook filled with information accumulated about Col. Davies. Included in the notebook is a large photo copy of a post-war image of Davies standing in full regalia and sporting this very sword. Information gleamed from Davies family and other sources indicate that Mr. Davies was a very accomplished and well regarded artist. Some of his paintings of his depicting the Civil War are apparently in museums (one was purchased by the Rockefeller family and in 1988 in the possession of Mrs. Laurance Rockefeller). Various documents indicate that he served in the Army. After the Army, on February 27, 1869, a letter was sent to President Elect U.S. Grant serving as an introduction and requesting that he be considered for consul of the United States of America at Cardiff’s in Wales. Davies was a Welshman and his letter of introduction to Grant was successful and he was later appointed consul. He died in 1886. CONDITION: Fine, the blade is faded a bit to gray, however, all etched decorations are strong and visible. There are numerous dark spots (not affecting the etching) mostly concentrated near the bottom 1/4 of the blade. The hilt is bright and excellent in every way and the attached sword know quite nice, just a bit frayed here and there on the edges. The scabbard is wonderful, having retained almost all of its orig. gold wash. A fine, well conditioned example of Roby’s fine artwork and craftsmanship. More research is sure to turn up Colonel Davies’ military record. 4-45094 CW (5,000-7,000)

INCREDIBLE INSCRIBED GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD BULLET STRUCK SWORD OF ISAAC S. KINGSBURY, ADJUTANT, 32ND MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. A wonderfully inscribed U.S. model 1851 Foot Officer’s sword brought home as a souvenir of the Gettysburg battle and engraved with its historic “bullet wound” to the scabbard by a Rebel ball. Standard Model 1851 Foot Officer’s sword manufactured by the Ames Mfg. Co. and so marked on the reverse side of the scabbards’ top mount. 36″ slightly curved single edged blade with stopped fuller. Etched designs include floral panels with a spread-winged eagle and “U.S.” The hilt is of gilded cast brass with a half basket counter guard having floral openwork, a single branch knuckle bow and a pommel with laurel leaf decoration encircling the back. Grip is of sharkskin wound with twisted brass wire wrap. The scabbard is of steel with plain brass furniture. About midway between the middle mount and the drag there is a pronounced ball shaped dent in the scabbard. At some time shortly after the Battle of Gettysburg, the sword was inscribed on the scabbard body with the following tribute: Between the dent in the scabbard and the middle mount: “Sheathed to more readily assist Colonel George L. Prescott, who called “Adjutant, I am wounded,” this sword, swinging to the right leg as we turned received the shot of the neem, who nearly surrounded our brigade. Sgt. Joseph Cousens of Company K also assisting the Colonel received a shot in the right arm. This at Gettysburg PA, July 2, 1863 in the afternoon. Colonel Prescott was not injured. The shots “Buck and ball” striking the heels of his boots, not penetrating the flesh.” Between the throat of the scabbard and the middle mount: “Isaac F. Kingsbury, Adjutant/32 Regiment Infantry Mass Volunteers/2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 5th Army Corps/Army of the Potomac.” This historic sword, inscribed to Lt. Kingsbury was later inscribed as a war trophy to his gallant action at the battle of Gettysburg. The 32nd Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers were heavily engaged in Devils Den. Of 221 men taken into action, 81 were lost. Colonel George Prescott was wounded on the afternoon of July 2, 1863. Later he died of wounds received at the Battle of Petersburg and was breveted Brigadier General on June 18, 1864. Isaac F. Kingsbury and resident of Newton, Massachusetts enlisted on July 23, 1862 and was appointed Sergeant.. He was commissioned 2nd lieutenant on December 15, 1862. He was promoted to 1st lieutenant on February 6, 1863, Adjutant July 21, 1863 and was wounded in the Wilderness Campaign in 1864. Sergeant Cousens is listed as entering the Veteran Reserve Corps on August 1, 1863. A most historic offering with an inscribed tribute to a brave adjutant who nearly encountered fate on the Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. CONDITION: The sword is in untouched “attic” condition having never been cleaned. The blade is lodged in the scabbard by the bullet dent. The inscription is contemporary with the sword’s use. It was, likely, sent home as a souvenir of the great battle and inscribed for posterity at that time. The first time this incredible Gettysburg relic has been offered to the public. 4-45439 (15,000-25,000)

HISTORIC BULLET STRUCK SWORD OF BVT. BRIGADIER GENERAL W.P. RICHARDSON 25TH OHIO VOLUNTEERS. Fancy U.S. Model 1851 Staff & Field Officer’s sword unsigned with European blade maker’s mark. The single edged blade measures 33” and is decorated with etched panels of trophies, U.S. and an eagle. The counter guard is of cast brass with a half basket hilt having “U.S.” within the floral openwork. The brass pommel has laurel leaf decorations on the back. The grip is of wood covered with sharkskin and wrapped with twisted brass wire. The scabbard is iron with brass furniture. The mountings are heavily decorated with a U.S. shield, floral engraving and, on the drag, “One Destiny” is engraved within a ribband. The top mount is crudely scratched “Col. W.P. Richardson/25th OVI” (this scratched inscription is lightly done, somewhat crude but appears to be contemporary with the sword’s period of use). The back of the center mount is heavily dented where a bullet obviously struck the scabbard. As a result of the impact, the iron scabbard was sheared in two just below the mount. William Pitt Richardson was born in Pennsylvania in 1824, following his law education at Washington (Pa.) College, he served in the Mexican War. At the outset of the Civil War he was appointed Colonel of the 15th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The 25th Ohio was a hard fought unit in the Northern Virginia campaigns. During the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, Colonel Richardson was hit twice leading his regiment on May 2, 1863. The first ball landed in the scabbard of his sword (obviously removed from its scabbard when struck) and second caught Richardson in the right shoulder. Following his recovery and Brevet as Brigadier General of Volunteers, he was appointed commander of Camp Chase military prison in Ohio. Richardson died August 4, 1886 and is buried in New Castle, Indiana. An extremely rare opportunity to own a battlefield struck sword of an important Civil War commander. Accompanied by several pages of misc. documentation and letters regarding this sword. CONDITION: The sword shows very heavy use, the blade is gray but the etched decoration is still visible. All metal parts have a pleasing dark, untouched patina. The iron portion of the fractured scabbard was once soldered together but is now separated. The grip shows wear and minor losses to sharkskin. 4-45262 CW (6,000-8,000)

AMERICAN PRE-CIVIL WAR SOUTHERN PRESENTATION MILITIA OFFICER’S SWORD TO CAPTAIN A. HENDERSON “LONE STAR GUARD” BY W. H. HORSTMANN & SONS. A rare opportunity to own a classic pre-Civil War southern militia officer’s sword presented to Captain A. Henderson from the “Lone Star Guard” in 1854. The sword is a high grade officer’s sword having a straight double edged blade with a single central fuller and etched decoration on both faces. The sword is signed near the ricasso with an etched panel “W.H. Horstmann & Sons/Philadelphia.” The crossguard, in “bow tie” form, is of gilt cast brass with flying eagles, liberty caps and acanthus leaf designs cast in high relief. Two square langets terminate the hilt surmounted by a gilt ferrule and a faceted and engraved silver grip. The pommel cap is a standing eagle on globe having a double chain guard from the eagle’s mouth falling to the cross guard. The scabbard is of gilt brass with heavily engraved decoration on the front face. The engraving depicts American trophies, Roman war instruments and rococo scrolls. The carry mounts are permanently affixed cast brass brackets and the drag a similarly designed affixed scroll. On the reverse of the scabbard is a small soldered scroll reading “Horstmann & Sons/Makers/Philad.” and the inscription: Presented to/ Capt. A. Henderson/by the Officers and Members of the/Lone Star Guard/Feb.y 22nd 1854. Captain Henderson’s military record during the Civil War is not readily apparent. The “Lone Star Guard”, however, is listed in several sources as being a Texas regiment of local defense infantry. Therefore, this represents a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful southern officer’s pre-Civil War militia officer’s sword with the possibility of research to locate Capt. A. Henderson in the service of the Confederate States of America. CONDITION: Very fine, the blade retains much of its armory finish with frosty etching, just a couple of minor edge nicks and a few spots of dark surface rust. The gilt is worn from approximately 50% of the hilt and scabbard but retains a nice untouched patina overall. The scabbard is fine with one light crease about half way up. 4-45116 CW (4,500-6,000)

EXTREMELY RARE “PREMIUM” DAISY IRON WINDMILL CO. AIR RIFLE. CAL. BB. Considered by a number of experts to be the rarest of any Daisy BB gun and among the rarest of all air guns in the famous “Premium” Daisy air rifle. The Plymouth Iron Windmill Company in Plymouth, Michigan, decided to boost sagging windmill sales by giving buyers premium and promotional items. One such was a pellet-shooting gun, which the owner of Plymouth Iron Windmill Company saw and described as “a real Daisy.” Several of these were purchased and used as incentive and premium items and it was found the market was greater for them than for the windmills. The rest is history. So rare that even the famous Daisy Museum does not posses an example. Virtually all of the orig. guns were lost, broken, discarded or disappeared over the last 113 years. This example is very good to excellent with strong nickel finish on the body and some on the cast iron. It is in excellent unrestored mechanical condition and works as well today as it did when made in 1888. The design of this particular gun is one, which was later changed in 1889 by the addition of a small strengthening brace where the stock meets the frame. This example is prior to that modification which clearly authenticates it as one of the very few remaining examples of the true first orig. Premium Iron Windmill guns. The casting has the Iron Wind Mill, Co. legend and “PAT, APD. FOR”. This piece comes with a copy of a publication describing this particular gun and it is authenticated in great detail. This is the crown jewel of any air gun collection and is the only one of this type, which is believed to have been offered for public auction. The only other known few examples are in permanent, private collections. CONDITION: Very good to excellent and functional. The bbl and spring housing retain 92-94% strong orig. nickel. The cocking lever retains 15-20% orig. nickel, the balance a dark brown patina. The frame and wire stock retain about 50% orig. nickel turning dull. The wire stock has been soldered into the frame. 4-45158 Z306 (11,000-17,000)

LOT OF 18 EXTREMELY RARE DAISY PROTOTYPE/EXPERIMENTAL WOODEN TOY GUNS. At the outbreak of WWII, Daisy ceased making conventional air guns and used their efforts in materials for war production. In order to continue to produce toys for children during this difficult time, and keep their name before the public, they determined to produce a toy gun, hopefully mechanical and/or noise maker, which could be primarily made of wood. A competition among the Daisy staff generated 20 prototypes, two of which were selected to be made during the war as the “Commando” and “Chattermatic” for public sale. The 18 other prototypes in the design, competition were stored away in a box in a Daisy factory and largely forgotten until an early collector, who was a friend of the owner of Daisy, acquired them. They are varied and Rube Goldberg in some of their designs with a tremendous variety of mechanisms. Most of the have Daisy labels and decals. The orig. inventory sheet from the museum accompanies them, as does a statement from the collector who got them from the museum. They are absolutely spectacular and a collection of museum uniqueness. 16 of the 18 items are in near mint condition with orig. varnish and paint and have their orig. Daisy Victory Model decals on the buttstocks. Two of the items are military look a-likes that are unfinished and do not have the decals. A couple of the items may have been produced as there is a copy of a magazine advertisement dated December 43′ listing two of these items, one for $1.19 and the other for .89 cents plus .11 cents postage. CONDITION: Generally excellent with minor storage and handling marks. Otherwise retaining virtually all their orig. finish. 4-45159 (12,000-18,000)

PAINTING BY JOHN FALTER OF THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT BY JOHN SHRANK. This watercolor and oil painting, executed by noted illustrator John Philip Falter (1910-1982), is an outstanding depiction of the failed assassination attempt upon Roosevelt. Falter, who was a contemporary of Norman Rockwell, did numerous illustrations for magazines and books and several Saturday Evening Post covers. His masterful depictions of American life and special events have in recent years commanded many thousands of dollars. This very illustration was used for a Reader’s Digest Book entitled “GREAT BIOGRAPHIES” and it appears on page 459. An attached note indicates that the painting hung some time in an executive office there at Reader’s Digest. The scene, signed on the lower right hand corner, depicts a famous event in which a crazed lunatic John Shrank attempted to assassinate Roosevelt. The incident took place on October 12, 1912 at the Hotel Gilpatrick in Wisconsin. Shrank mingled amongst the crowd and at the last moment as Roosevelt was leaving his car, shot him in the chest. Shrank was immediately subdued by Roosevelt’s personal stenographer, Mr. Albert M. Martin. The bullet struck Roosevelt square in the chest at the area of his breast pocket in which he had his speech folded. The bullet was lodged in one of his ribs. True to his macho image, despite the fact that Roosevelt was bleeding, he refused to go the hospital until he went inside and addressed his loyal followers. During his fifty minute speech Roosevelt held a handkerchief over the wound and after the speech concluded went to the hospital. In October of 1999 our firm handled on consignment the very pistol used in this assassination attempt as well as portions of Roosevelt’s speech pierced by the bullet. SIZE: 15 1/2″ high by 9 1/2″ wide, dimensions are of the artwork only. CONDITION: Excellent. 9-79476 (5,500-7,500)

On some such occasions Topperwein would shoot a target with a 22 rifle and create a picture, such as this one. This large framed target inscribed by Topperwein “SHOT BY AD TOPPERWEIN WITH 22 WINCHESTER RIFLE JULY 30-31”. This is the finest we’ve seen to date. The inscription is bold and still intact.

NORTHERN PLAINS INDIAN WOMAN’S DEERSKIN DRESS. Beautiful, brain tanned deerskin dress, approx. 48″ long x 21″ wide at the chest with raglan type shoulders, short cape type sleeves. The shoulder yolk is deerskin laced as are the side seams. The center, front and back of the yolk have a small decorative area with the deer hair still on. The neck opening front and back have a narrow band of dark blue cloth and a wide band of red trade cloth. The blue cloth is of the right texture, color and consistency of the period Cavalry uniforms. The skirt is scalloped and decorative with very fine fringe, completely surrounding the circumference. It is decorated on each side with rectangles of trade cloth and deerskin. The center, on one side, has two small spots of red trade cloth and the opposing side has two beaded rossetts.2-1/4″ dia. with a red trade cloth center and white and blue circles surrounding. All the decorations appear to be applied with sinew thread. Both entire side seams have very fine fringe and there are fine hide strings front and back at the chest area and on the lower part of the skirt. Attached to one of these strings is a very old manila tag bearing the quill ink inscription “INDIAN WOMAN’S DRESS/PRESENTED TO COL. E. RICE, U.S.A./BY WHITE BULL, WAR CHIEF OF THE NORTHERN SIOUX”. At the bottom of the tag in the same writing, but very tiny “COL. EDMUND RICE, U.S.A., FEBRUARY 12, 1884”. White Bull was a nephew of Sitting Bull and was reportedly the Indian who claimed to have been the one that killed General Custer. Col. Rice was an important military figure, having been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his gallant actions on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, when he was wounded and most of his unit was lost. After the Civil War, Col. Rice was assigned to the Springfield Armory for a time, where he developed the trowel bayonet. During the Indian Wars, Rice commanded several outposts in the West and engaged in many campaigns against the Northern Plains Indians. It was during this time that White Bull presented the dress to him. Although he was advancing in years, Col. Rice petitioned to return to active duty at the outset of the Spanish-American War and was recommission to serve his country yet again. CONDITION: The leather is soft and supple except an area that had the hair left on. Most of the hair is missing. Most of the fringe is intact. The trooper cloth and trade cloth have one or two small moth holes and the red has bled over onto the leather. Otherwise, the dress is fine with a great old patina. 4-45440 JL501 (9,000-11,000)

THE BARON VON RICHTHOFEN “POUR LE MERITE” BEAKER. This antique silver beaker is nearly identical in form to the coveted honor beakers awarded to successful German fighter pilots during the First World War. The body is cylindrical with a slightly hammered surface as are the Honor Beakers. The under portion of the body of the cup fitted with a wide constricted band, the surface of which is ornamented with heavily hammered and raised letters “Richthofen”. The bottom of the cup, trimmed in a fine bead design and the body of the cup, like the Honor Cups, is supported on four large silver ball feet. One of the primary differences between this cup and Richthofen’s Honor Beaker is that, rather than being embellished with two flying eagles on the side, this is very expertly crafted with a hammered highly blown-out depiction of the coveted “Blue Max”. On the reverse of the cup is also hammered out in high relief a masterful depiction of a family crest. The under side of the beaker is stamped “JOHANNE WAGNER & SOHN”; a well-known Berlin maker of Honor Beakers and high-quality medals during the First World War. Also stamped on the underside are the appropriate ciphers including a crescent moon, monarch’s crown, eagle and the number “835”. While there is no documentation accompanying the beaker, we attribute it to von Richthofen as a result of various facts and by process of elimination. First of all, the cup is guaranteed to be antique and made during the First World War. In addition, the following facts are known; 1) The cup was nearly lost to the world in the late 1970’s when some American family turned it into a silver dealer during the great “Smelting Era”. It is fortunate that the silver buyer recognized the Pour le Merite insignia on the cup and concluded that it might have something to do with Militaria and, apparently sold it to a gun dealer. 2) That gun dealer took it to a gun show where he met with Mr. George Richardson, a dealer set up at the show who apparently traded a couple of revolvers for the beaker. 3) A doctor standing just inside the door, to his right noticed the honor-shaped beaker and directly after the deal was concluded, the doctor approached Richardson in an attempt to buy it. However, Mr. Richardson declined to sell the cup. It wasn’t until a week later when Richardson’s German-speaking secretary was shown the cup that he learned that the name on the base was “Richthofen” and was that of the famous Richthofen family. Over the years he refused to sell it to his friend collector (the doctor who had orig.ly seen it). 4) Recently the doctor was contacted by the executor of the Richardson family (after his death). They asked if he could assist in marketing this important cup. As to the Richthofen connection; Richthofen, unquestionably the most famous of all combat pilots in the history of aviation, earned his name “The Red Baron” as a result of his title and of his dreaded Fokker, bright red fighter tri-plane from which he successfully shot down 80 allied pilots before he was killed. Richthofen won his honor beaker from the Air Force some time in 1916. He was, however, a great collector of war trophies and accolades associated with his successes. Various photographs in German museums depict one of his trophy rooms showing cups and small beakers together with insignia from various airplanes that he reportedly had shot down. From the very beginning, Richthofen started a unique practice (to our knowledge, not followed by any other WWI fighter pilots), each time he shot down a pilot, he had a German silver smith produce a solid silver beaker onto which was inscribed, the type of plane, the day that it was shot down, the plane’s numbers, etc. (One of these simple small beakers sold at auction recently for $27,000.) It is believed that the same Berlin jeweler, Johanne Wagner, made all of these small beakers. Richthofen continued this practice until late in the war when the scarcity of silver prevented the silversmith from producing any more of solid silver. Richthofen would not consider the possibility of a silver-plated beaker and suspended his practice after his 60th beaker was completed. Richthofen was, therefore, very much focused on trophies, and it only stands to reason that when he finally won the coveted “Blue Max”, that he would go to that same German jeweler and request a special beaker made in honor of the award. Richthofen coveted the Pour le Merite, and according to biographies of his life, looked forward with great anticipation to eventually winning this highest Medal of Honor in the German military during the First World War. Initially, a pilot’s requirement was to shoot down eight pilots before he won the Pour le Merite, however, by the time von Richthofen had shot down seven pilots, the government changed the requirements to 16 successes and Richthofen had to essentially start all over again. We believe he commissioned the beaker after he finally shot down the 16 planes and won his “Blue Max”. Finally, there are only two people that could have possibly owned this beaker, as there were only two Richthofen’s in the First World War to win the Pour le Merite; Lothar, Richthofen’s brother and Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red Baron”. (there was actually a third Richthofen, no relation, who won the Pour le Merite but he did not do so until January 18, 1918, long after the supply of silver was exhausted by the Walker Jewelry firm, they discontinued making solid silver beakers some time in August or September of 1917.) There is no indication what so ever that Lothar maintained a trophy room or held his awards and trophies in such high esteem as did the Baron. Therefore, in conclusion, the ownership to Baron von Richthofen is the only alternative. This is a truly important historical piece, masterfully created and honoring the award of the highest merit in the German air force during the First World War and also, apparently commission by and owned by the world’s most historic fighter pilot. Accompanying this lot are a number of things that were later acquired by Richardson to display with the beaker. (None of these items have any purported ownership to the Red Baron.) Included is a fine oil on canvas portrait commissioned by Richardson depicting the Red Baron, a group of books documenting the life of the Red Baron, various photographic images of the Red Baron – one framed in a W.W.I metal military frame, also three medals. These medals were chosen because they were all medals of the type that Richthofen actually won during the war. The first medal is the Imperial German Pilot Badge; this one being the solid back variety by Junker.

*EXTREMELY RARE SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 21 GRAND AMERICAN STYLE 3-BARREL SET. CAL: 20 ga., 28 ga., & 410. This spectacular set is built on a 20 ga. flat side frame with three sets of barrels. The 20 ga. barrels are 28” and choked WS-1 & WS-2, the 28 ga. barrels are 26” and choked Skeet/Skeet, and 410 barrels are 26” and choked IMP-MOD and IMP-CYL. All three sets of barrels have matted ventilated ribs with red ivory front beads and center beads. The breech end of the rib has milled panels with gold inlay “Custom Built by Winchester” and the gauge marking in gold. Each set of barrels is accompanied by a black tipped beavertail forearm and marked with the number of the barrel. The receiver is beautifully engraved with full coverage, very fine arabesque pattern scrolls with gold inlays of a woodcock and partridge in flight on the left and right sides. The floorplate is engraved with a standing spaniel and the trigger bow with a spaniel’s head. The engraver’s signature is on the floorplate just forward of the trigger guard. The trigger is gold plated, and the trigger plate is gold inlaid with arrows on either side and the letters “L” & “R”. The serial number on the top tang is gold inlaid. All three of the barrels have corresponding matching engraving, 1-3/4” over each chamber area and the 410 ga. and 28 ga. barrels have 1” of muzzle engraving with a single gold band. The 20 ga. barrels do not have muzzle engraving. All of the foreend irons are correspondingly engraved, and all of the concealed areas on the barrel, water tables, breech ends, ejectors, foreend iron, receiver water table and standing breech are engine turned (jeweled). The wood is all matching, of highly figured center crotch cut walnut with deep style “B” carving and high luster piano finish. The stock is 14-5/8” over the orig. leather covered pad and has a gold oval initial plate with the initials “DHP”. The grip cap is custom ordered with matching engraving and three gold line inlays. The entire set is contained in its orig. factory, maroon felt-lined brown leather trunk case with canvas and leather cover. Both case and cover bear the initials “D.H.P.” This spectacular shotgun is accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter dated September 8, 1999 which indicates it was orig.ly completed on October 17, 1950. This letter completely identifies this shotgun and further indicates that it was returned to the factory on May 23, 1952 and the right barrel changed to improve cylinder choke. It indicates that in 1976 it was returned and custom engraved to order by “J. Kusmit” with gold inlays and re-stocked with Grand American style wood with “B” carving. It is additionally accompanied by copies of factory work orders and invoices detailing all of the work that was done at that time. Also accompanying is a reproduced page from “Winchester Finest, The Model 21” by Schwing indicating that another Model 21 with serial number 13593 was the only factory 3-barrel set in those calibers. This statement is obviously not correct. Also accompanied by a large photo album containing all of these documents plus numerous photographs of the work in progress and of the finished cased gun. Weight 7.55 pounds with the 20ga. barrels. SN 13242. CONDITION: Excellent plus, as new, retaining virtually all its orig. factory finish to both metal and wood.

*PROTOTYPE WINCHESTER MODEL 12 PUMP SHOTGUN. CAL. 12ga. Standard grade Model 12 with 26″ plain bbl, large ribbed forearm, uncheckered stock with pistol grip and black hard rubber buttplate. The shotgun is fitted with a prototype fiberglass bbl and accompanied by two letters dated September 26, 1996 from Mr. H.N. Bockstruck. The first letter Mr. Bockstruck qualifies himself as an engineer with over 40 years of experience in the firearms ammunition field. He states that while he was employed as a research engineer at Winchester one of his responsibilities was to care for John M. Olin’s personal firearms from 1956 until 1982. The second letter is addressed to Mr. Donn F. Wren (Mr. Bockstruck’s nephew) entitled “HISTORY: WINCHESTER MODEL 12, 12 GA. SERIAL 1700387”. In this letter he details how this shotgun came to be made at the instigation of Mr. Olin seeking to develop a lightweight shotgun. He states that a thin steel tube is wound with many miles of fiberglass and then colored “GUN BLUE”. He states that this particular shotgun, along with two others arrived in East Alton (Illinois, the home of Winchester Western Ammunition) for the 1959 hunting season. He states that Mr. Olin used this shotgun along with the other two to shoot skeet and grouse in Canada along with Warren Page and Jack O’Connor and he used it into mid-fall. Mr. Bockstruck states that he then hunted with this shotgun the rest of that season beginning with an Illinois quail hunt with Dr. Ed Kozicky. He further states that Mr. Olin gave him this shotgun approx. two years later. He states that the decision was made not to produce the model 12 with the fiberglass bbl. but instead to introduce it on the model 59 autoloader. He states that to his knowledge only three of these guns remained after the 1959 season and the balance of them were destroyed. Mr. Bockstruck gave this shotgun to his nephew who sold it to the consignor. Ser. 1700387. CONDITION: Excellent plus, retaining virtually all its orig. finish to both metal and wood with a few minor nicks and scratches on the wood particularly near the toe. Mr. Bockstruck pointed out that the buttstock was slightly oversized on the receiver and the buttplate but that this was normal for a prototype as they did not take as much care in the finished product as they would have on a production gun. 4-45445 JL279 (6,000-15,000)
