There is a horse tied to a tree in foreground who is trying to escape with another horse running away in background. All of this is in great detail with flowers & trees. Top of vignette has a long arrow with ribbon wound around it which bears inscription “HUNTING THE TIGER WITH SINGLE SHOOTER”.

This rifle was apparently presented by Oliver Winchester to Edward Henry Knight probably as a promotional or reward for Mr. Knight’s having devised a new patent registering system at U.S. Patent Office where he was employed as principal examiner in patent classification system. Mr. Knight had emigrated from England in 1840’s & joined Patent Office in 1864. He served as a surgeon in Civil War & owned farms in the Zanesville, Ohio area where he was a pioneer in grafting fruit trees & the hybridization of plants. Beyond the fact that Mr. Knight owned this rifle, little is known to connect him directly with Oliver Winchester. Among the large binder of material is a 6-1/2 page biography of Dr. Knight & provenance for rifle. This notarized biography was written by Edward Knight Campbell in Oct. 1995. Mr. Campbell is grandson of Dr. Knight & states that rifle had never left the family.

It was discovered in 2003 in a private collection in Maryland. This carbine was displayed at the 2004 Denver Marlin Firearms Collector’s Association annual national show & won Best of Show.

It has straight lever with visible locking lug extension that meshes into a notch in lever. Lever also has the 1889 style lock at toe & short curl 1889 style hammer. This style of side eject Marlin was principally the idea of Marlin’s genius inventor, Lewis L. Hepburn. Marlin was, at that time, still making the Model 1881 lever action rifle in 45-70 so it is apparent that when Mr. Hepburn designed the Model 1889, which was made only in the short hand gun sized cartridges, he made this rifle as a prototype which obviously evolved into the Model 1895. This is a one of a kind & until recently completely unknown. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains 95-97% strong bright orig blue with only very faint edge wear & some flecks of light patina.

OKLAHOMA LAWMAN USED FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40) SN 110056. This revolver was the property of James Turney who was the City Marshall of Altus, Oklahoma in 1909 and earlier, beginning his law enforcement career in 1885 in the cities of Vernon and Chillicothe, TX. His son, in a signed statement, relates that his father owned this Colt and had a reputation as an excellent marksman. The son further details in this letter an entry in an old book Western Badmen, author unknown, regarding a story of Jim Turney leading a posse which chased the Dalton gang out of Oklahoma into Kansas where they were killed at Coffeeville. He further states that Jim Turney later became the Chief of Police of Lockney, TX. where he was nearly killed with a knife, after which his wife convinced him to leave law enforcement, which he did, moving to Rincon, NM, and in 1929 Riverside, CA., and in 1936 to Huntington Beach, CA. where he died in 1948 at the age of 88. Another story the son relates is one night a woman led a group of men into town to “get his father”. He had no knowledge of what happened to the men, but the woman was arrested and had to be transported by buggy to “Mangum” for trial. He states that his father had to shackle her feet, handcuff her and tie the handcuffs to the shackles to keep her from fighting him. He said that she was the vilest mouthed person he had had any dealings with and “that was the longest 40 miles he ever drove”.

The revolver is described as having nickel finish, 2-3/4″ bbl, orig front sight, 2-line address and a partially legible etched panel on the left side.

The frame of the photo is marked “Moore & Walk / Altus, Okla.” This same star badge also accompanies as does a small shield-shaped Deputy Marshall badge with a cutout five-point star in the center. Both these badges appear to be authentic and completely orig to the period. The aforementioned letter from Marshall Turney’s son is laminated and framed and accompanies this lot. CONDITION: Revolver, overall, retains about 60% milky orig nickel with the loss areas a dark brown patina. Etched panel is partially visible. Will not hold in the safety or half cocked notches, otherwise mechanics are fine. Strong bore with moderate pitting. Photograph is fine and crystal clear and the badges are fine with the Deputy Marshal having some slightly flaked nickel with brass underneath showing through. Letter is slightly yellowed.

The rifle is further described as being .40 caliber using the 2 & ½ inch shell, and having a 34 inch full octagon barrel ordered by Dodds to weigh 22 pounds, with double triggers, open sights and oil finished stocks. The ordered was entered on January 25, 1879, but the rifle was not shipped until two months later, indicating the effort needed for Sharps production to accommodate such an unusual special order. The price charged for this unique rifle, unfortunately, does not appear in the surviving records. This rifle is the heaviest octagon barrel Model 1874 Sharps rifle ever made. It is illustrated in ‘Sharps Firearms’ by Frank Sellers on page 224.

Shipped along with the rifle were 100 empty shells .40-2&1/2, 1250 bullets .40/330, 250 bullets .40/370 and one wad cutter.

James Dodds’ letterhead states that he dealt in “English & American Breech-Loading Guns, Fine Tools for Mechanics, Carvers & Jewelers…..’ and that he engaged in ‘Model Making and Repairing’.

RARE CUSTER RANGE MODEL 1873 INDIAN USED TRAPDOOR CARBINE. Cal. 45-70. SN 9196. Standard carbine with 22″ rnd bbl, square base front sight with 1,200 yard ladder rear sight. It has “1873” dated breech block & lockplate. Hammer has a ovoid shaped checkering pattern & buttplate is orig 1873 pattern, smooth, without trap, & has “US” in front of top screw hole. Mounted in a 1-pc walnut stock of the late 1877 pattern with butt recess for cleaning tools. It has a sgl bbl band with 2-pc trigger guard & bases for a sling bar in left side, the bar having been cut from bases, which is typical of Indian usage. Stock has tiny inspector initials “AL” below trigger guard tang. This carbine recently turned up in an old Cody, Wyoming collection where it had been for many years. It is accompanied by a small framed typewritten note dated “Busby, Montanta / October 30, 1935”. It states, “To Whom it may Concern: I, Frank Pine, Cheyenne Indian, hereby certify on honor, that the gun or rifle I sold to Miles Horn is one of the guns taken after the battle on the Little Big Horn between the soldiers and the Sioux and Cheyene Indians. This gun has been in the possession of the Cheyenne Indians since this battle in 1876.” It has an ink signature of “Frank Pine” with an ink thumbprint annotated “his mark”. The note is accompanied by a newspaper clipping dated “Nov. 27” (year not indicated) Lame Deer (which is in Montana). It reads as follows: “INDIAN SCOUT PASSES ON TO HAPPY HUNTING GROUND / Lame Deer, Nov. 27. – Frank Pine, Cheyenne Indian scout, who served at Fort Keough under General Miles and engaged in a campaign against the Sioux in South Dakota, died at Birney Sunday night, at the age of 77. According to his army record, he was born in the spring of 1863, in Wyoming. He was enlisted in 1890 and discharged in 1891. The funeral was held Monday at Busby where he lived for many years. A.C. Stohr, pioneer Lame Deer business man, says ‘Pine’s word was as good as any contract that could be written.'”. Also accompanied by a Buffalo Bill Historical Center of Cody, WY, a loan agreement for Sept. 25, 1986 for the purpose of “THE CUSTER MYSTIQUE” where it remained on display until December of 1986. The owner, at that time, was a gentleman by the name of Bert Schultz of Cody, WY. Additionally accompanying is a photograph of the carbine and Frank Pine framed statement while on display. In addition, there is a statement from Roberta Sankey, the personal representative of the William Schultz estate, wherein she states that this carbine was sold to Miles Horn in 1935 by Frank Pine and that Bert Schultz of Cody traded some horses for it from Ann McKinney, daughter of Buster Brown, long time Birney, MT rancher on the Northern Cheyenne Indian reservation in the mid-1970’s. Mr. Brown died in 1993 and Mr. Schultz inherited it. While there are apparent Indian modifications, typically removing the sling bar, the replaced stock can be explained by Mr. Pine having been an Army scout. Firing pin is 1-pc brass & appears to be the 1890 modification which is also explained under same circumstances. CONDITION: No orig finish remains with metal being a light silver/brown patina with scattered light surface pitting. Breech block is silvered case colors & lockplate is silvered case colors & brown patina. Stock is sound with a small grain flaw at buttplate.

Mechanics are crisp, although the breech block is slightly loose on hinge. Strong bright bore with fine pitting & a partial ring about 4″ from muzzle.
