EXTREMELY RARE IRON FRAME HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 131. 44 RF HENRY. Rare Henry rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl that has integral magazine and 1st type German silver front sight blade with rounded top. Top flat of bbl has the small 2-line Henry patent date & address with an open dovetail near the receiver. Receiver, side plates and buttplate are of the rare iron variety with a 2nd sight dovetail in top flat of receiver. This receiver dovetail contains an orig, 1st type 1000-yard Henry ladder sight. Mounted with very nicely figured, uncheckered, slab sawed American walnut buttstock with varnish finish and early features of a perch belly stock and iron buttplate with rounded heel and large trap containing an orig 4-pc hickory & iron cleaning rod. Cleaning rod recess in the stock has a beveled area at the bottom of the hole which is distinctive only to the iron frame variety of the Model 1860 Henry rifle. Brass frame versions of the rifle are not known to have this bevel. SN was observed in the usual place on top flat of bbl between rear sight dovetail and frame, left side of lower tang under the wood, inside top tang channel of buttstock and inside top tang of buttplate. All 5 stock & buttplate screws are matching numbered to the rifle. The tang wood screws are also distinctive to the iron frame variety of this model with beveled heads. The rnd portion of the bbl, under the loading sleeve is marked with the assembly “151” which number is also found on rear face of loading sleeve. According to The Henry Rifle, Quick, there were probably less than 200 of the iron frame variety produced within the first 400 rifles. As of the publication of the reference book, there were only 90 of them known and this rifle is listed in a chart on page 54. Apparently there is some controversy as to whether the iron frame Henry was produced at a separate facility or simultaneously with the brass frame version in the same plant. The aforementioned chart on pages 54 & 55 of the reference publication lists 16 known duplicate serial numbers which leads one to speculate however one wishes to speculate. Mr. Quick states that there are no known Martially marked iron frame Henry’s. He also reports that the iron frame Henry may have been an effort to gain a Navy contract which, if true, apparently never materialized. No matter, there are few surviving iron frame Henry’s and extremely few of those show any orig finish. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Fine, all matching. Bbl & magazine retain a smooth, even, plummy blue/brown patina with some scattered light surface rust. Receiver & side plates retain about 60-70% matching patina showing light wear and a few nicks & scratches. Lever, hammer & buttplate are also with the same patina. Wood is sound with numerous small nicks & scratches and retains about 90% of an old restored varnish finish. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore with good shine and a few scattered spots of pitting. Cleaning rod is fine. 52328-51 JRL (75,000-125,000) – Lot 1003

SCARCE FIRST TYPE MARTIAL HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 3063. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Standard Henry rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl, integral magazine tube and early 1st type German silver front sight blade with rnd top and 2nd type 900 yard Henry ladder rear sight without slide stop screw. Right forward side of frame has the inspector initials “HH” and correspondingly on the right bbl flat at the receiver the inspector, “CGC”. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut buttstock with straight grip and early style brass buttplate with rnd heel and large trap for the accompanying 4-pc hickory & steel cleaning rod. Right side of buttstock is amateur inlaid with a 5-point brass star secured with a single nail through the center. Right wrist of buttstock shows the outline of a cartouche visible under strong light. Right heel of buttplate is marked with a tiny “C” inspector mark with corresponding “C” adjacent on the wood. SN was observed in the usual place on top flat of bbl between rear sight & frame and on left side of the lower tang under the wood as well as in the top tang channel of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. The 2 buttplate screws are matching numbered to the rifle. The 3 receiver screws, although unnumbered are orig Henry style screws and probably orig to this rifle. Left top front side of receiver has a small plugged hole which likely was installed for ease of access to change the extractor which was a weak point on the Henry rifle. The lever latch tab is too short to engage the lever latch on the lower tang indicating that the lever is from another rifle, probably an 1866 or 1873. Given the overall condition, along with the “Texas star” in the buttstock, the argument can be made that this probably was a Confederate captured rifle during the Civil War and saw extensive hard service thereafter, both during the war and on the American frontier. There were a total of 1,731 Henry rifles purchased by the US Military, of which only about 800 were the Type-1 as found here, the majority of which were used to arm the 3rd Regiment Veteran Volunteers. This unit was initially intended to act as “shock troops”, but were primarily used for guard and picket duty around Washington, D.C. They did have a few small engagements just toward the end of the war and then were absorbed into the 2nd Maine Cavalry until the war was over. These veteran volunteers, as part of their enlistment agreement with honorable service were allowed to retain their arms and accoutrements at their expiration of service. Apparently the majority of those soldiers took advantage of this provision and took their Henry rifles home with them where they usually saw very hard service on the American frontier, some of which were so harshly used that they are unidentifiable as Martial issued. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Fair, all matching. Bbl & magazine retain a crusty brown patina under a coating of old varnish with heavy pitting on both sides. Receiver & side plates show numerous nicks & dings with light scratches and retains a dark brown brass patina. Lever & hammer are also dark patina with moderate to heavy rust on the lever. Stock is sound showing a “Henry bump” on the left side with numerous light nicks & scratches and retains a very old, dark restored finish. Mechanics are balky on closing, otherwise they are fine. Strong bore with moderate to heavy pitting and a couple of rings about mid-point. Cleaning rod is extremely fine. 52328-52 JRL (15,000-25,000) – Lot 1008

Bottom tang has close-coupled double-set triggers and has the assembly no. “4697” & “XX” on the left side under the wood. Top tang channel of the buttstock is marked “94” indicating that this may be a factory replacement buttstock. This rifle was produced in about 1895 and likely belonged to a wealthy person or was a special presentation. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains about 98% strong factory blue with only faint sharp edge wear. Receiver retains 93-95% strong orig blue, showing sharp edge wear and some thinning around the bottom front edge with scattered pin-pricks of light surface rust. Lever retains bright case colors on the sides and faded colors on the outer faces. Hammer shows dark case colors.

VERY RARE COLT WALKER PERCUSSION REVOLVER AUTHENTICATED IN THE PARADE OF WALKERS.

SN B COMPANY NO 25. Cal. 44. One of the most rare and desirable of all Colt firearms is the Walker pistol. These massive 4 lb. revolvers were manufactured in 1847 in a quantity of only 1,000 to arm mounted troops for the war in Mexico. Subsequent to the military contract of 1,000 revolvers, Colt assembled an additional 100-104 civilian model Walker revolvers. The Martial Walker revolvers were marked Company specific from Company A to Company E with various numbers assigned to each company. Company B had approximately 175 revolvers so marked. Company B is also the unit commanded by Capt. Samuel H. Walker, the inspiration to Samuel Colt to produce these revolvers. Capt. Walker was killed at Chapultepec, Mexico in 1847 during the war. The first shipment of Walker revolvers to Mexico was only about 220 units with a 2nd shipment of 280 revolvers arriving about a week later on Oct. 26, 1847. Out of the first shipment, 6 revolvers were reported stolen. Upon arrival in Mexico these 496 revolvers were issued to various Companies including Company A, B & C which included 394 pistols issued to the Texas regiments under Col. John Hays. The 2nd shipment of 500 was delayed and did not arrive in Mexico until the war was nearly over and were not issued at that time. When the war was over the Walker pistols that had been issued were recalled and turned in at the Vera Cruz Depot on May, 8 1848. Of the 394 pistols issued to the Texans, only about 316 were turned in, with many of those missing lost in battle and others simply stolen or retained by Officers of the various Companies. The 3rd shipment of 500 pistols had been held in a New York depot until Colt provided flasks & molds and in March 1848 were shipped to the Vera Cruz, Mexico depot and in Nov. 1848 all were shipped from Mexico to the Baton Rouge Arsenal and along with the other turned in pistols were subsequently shipped to San Antonio. Many of those Walker pistols at San Antonio were issued to various units operating in Texas and were issued to the 4 companies of the Dragoons and 3 companies of Infantry assigned there to fight Indians, bandits, and outlaws in the region. In April 1850 these units were ordered to turn in their Walker pistols in exchange for Dragoon revolvers. Many of the Walker revolvers were then issued to Texas Rangers and some friendly Indians. In Feb. 1861 the San Antonio Arsenal was seized by the State of Texas, including all remaining arms & accoutrements and turned over to the Confederacy. It seems likely that all those seized arms would have been issued to Confederate troops for use during the Civil War. Very few Walker pistols survive today in any condition with any orig finish. Such a revolver today is a great rarity and seldom ever seen today.

This revolver appears to be generally orig and most respects with 8-15/16″ oct to rnd bbl with altered German silver front sight and left hand address on top flat. Right side of bbl lug is marked “US / 1847″ just over the wedge screw. Wedge is an unmarked replacement. Cylinder is 2-7/16” long, 6-shots with oval stop notches and the hole on one land between nipple recesses for a single safety pin. The SN is found on left side of bbl lug, left side of frame and buttstrap. The abbreviated number “B COMy No 25” is found on the trigger guard and partially visible on the cylinder. The number “25” is found on left side of front strap, under the grip, inside toe of grip and on the cylinder. The number on the cylinder arbor was obliterated during the cleaning process. The frame to bbl lug mating surfaces have been lightly filed to tighten up the space between the cylinder face & forcing cone and very likely the frame pins were replaced at the same time and the rear face of the forcing cone was filed flat which accounts for the 1/16″ shorter bbl. The slight alteration on the front of the frame obliterated the “25” which is normally found in that area between the frame pins. The tip of the rammer handle has been reapplied and an area on the bottom of the bbl, about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4″ from the muzzle shows evidence of a dovetail having been filled. This information is verified by a photograph of this revolver along with its consecutively numbered mate which appeared in a Gun Report article by Herb Glass which shows this revolver in the top position with a different rammer handle and Navy style latch. The photograph is identifiable as this revolver by the rust patterns on the bbl. Pistol is mounted with its orig 1-pc walnut grip that has repaired heels and an old coating of varnish. Cylinder retains traces of the orig pressure ridge and a few spots of vise marks around the circumference. The T-lever latch spring is a modern replacement. Accompanied by a note by the very well known dealer/collector, the late Paul Sorrell which lists the provenance for this pistol. Also accompanied by a 10-page letter from renowned Colt researcher and author, the late Larry Wilson. Additionally accompanied by a Certificate of Originality from the Texas Gun Collectors Association “Parade of Walkers” dated Spring 2003, certifying the authenticity of Colt Walker SN B COMPANY 25. This is a fine, authentic Walker revolver with very few, minor alterations and would be suitable for any collection or museum display. PROVENANCE: 1951- Gerald Fox collection; 1952- listed on the “Quick List”; 1953- Herb Glass; 1955- pictured TGCA Magazine; 1957- Herb Green collection; 1999- Brian Bossier collection; 2001- Greg Martin; 2003- John Berra collection; The collection of Robert Roughton.

RARE PRE-FIRST MODEL 1847 WALKER REPLACEMENT DRAGOON PERCUSSION REVOLVER.

SN 2695. Cal. 44. Rare Dragoon with 7-1/2″ oct-rnd bbl, German silver front sight and 1-line New-York City left hand address with serifs. Frame is marked about center on left side “COLT’S PATENT” over “U.S.”. Cylinder is about 2-3/8″ long, 6-shots with Dragoon/Indian fight scene roll marking and a distinctive pressure ridge. The “MODEL U.S.M.R. / COLT’S PATENT” legends are discernible and rolled scene is 90% discernible though pitting has obscured some detail. The squareback brass trigger guard and backstrap contain a 1-pc walnut grip. All SNs on all the parts are of the tiniest variety. Several of the visible parts have small inspector initials. The rammer handle has the assembly number “356” and number “121” is found on bottom of bbl just forward of the rammer slot. Cylinder is numbered “2695” and the wedge is numbered “695”. They were apparently part of a 1,000pc order and utilized some orig Walker and Walker-reworked parts. Further information in the referenced publication states that a 1998 study by Dick Salzer Observation on Colt’s Second Contract theorizes that there were 1,000 of these revolvers contracted in 1847 and delivered in four shipments in 1848. It also states that this survey is conjecture based on the examination of over a dozen specimens. Regardless this is one of the most rare of all the Colt Dragoons. Most specimens of this particular gun are found in very poor, well used condition. This gun is well above average, retaining strong traces of original finish, and discernible inspector cartouches. PROVENANCE: Ex-Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Bbl and bbl housing retain 10-20% orig blue finish, especially in protected areas. Matching SNs as noted above. Metal overall retains a silver/gray patina with some pitting, especially on cylinder. Cylinder is matching patina and shows about 90% Dragoon/Indian fight scene roll marking with discernible legends as can be seen in photos; trigger guard and backstrap are a light yellow patina. Grips have small chipped toes on bottom inside toes and show honest wear with a dark hand worn patina with both cartouches discernible left side complete and right side over 50%. Mechanics are fine, bright bore with strong discernible rifling. 52328-6 (12,000-15,000) – Lot 1125

Although the frame is “U.S.” marked and various parts have small inspector initials, the grip is without cartouches and it appears that this was a commercial Dragoon assembled from contract overrun parts. The 2nd Model Dragoon was produced only during 1850-1851 with only about 2,700 manufactured in that period. Of that small number 1,000 were on contract to the government. Colt, anticipating larger orders, produced parts to make the additional 1,700 revolvers, most of which were inspected at the plant but when the contracts from the government did not materialize, he simply had them assembled into revolvers and sold them on the commercial market. Regardless of where they were sold these revolvers saw hard frontier service which continued through the Civil War and remained in service well into the 1870s. This most rare of Dragoons is rarely found today with any orig finish with most having seen very hard use. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good, all matching except wedge which is numbered “9216”. All the steel parts retain a cleaned gray metal patina with scattered discoloration and some very fine pitting on right side of bbl; cyl is matching patina with scattered spots of fine pitting and shows 75-80% Dragoon/Indian fight scene with crisp clear panels; grip frame is a cleaned medium mustard patina.

The silver plated square back, small guard brass trigger guard and backstrap contain a 1-pc walnut grip with matching SN in the backstrap channel. Only about 3,000 of these rare revolvers were produced with the earliest SN noted by Swayze in 51 Colt Navies being 848 though first models with notched arbors still occur up to about 1250 serial range where the remainder of production to about SN 4000 are all second model configuration with slotted arbor (base pin). This gun features all the other early features including the thin profile grips, rammer screw entering from right side and small sgl inspector letter on trigger guard below SN. The very early revolvers, such as this one, are rarely ever found with any orig finish and this particular example is no doubt among the very finest.

Bbl and cylinder retain 90-95% orig bright blue, with sharp edge wear with areas of staining, pinprick pitting, scattered scratches, screws retain most of their fire blue.

It has 1860 Army-style rack & pinion rammer with “COLT’S PATENT” on left side of frame. The brass trigger guard & backstrap contain a 1-pc smooth ivory grip. This gun is in very fine condition, retaining much of its orig finish. This particular arm was made first year of production in 1961 at the height of Civil War fervor. Surviving Colts of this era are rarely found in high condition and fine aesthetics as this example. Factory letter states that it was shipped to J.C. Grubb Hardware Store, Philadelphia, PA, August 4, 1861 in configuration noted except grips were not listed and Grubb probably added the ivories. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very fine overall, all matching. Bbl retains about 60% bright orig finish. Cylinder retains traces of finish.

Left side of frame has a tiny “COLT’S PATENT”. Cylinder is 6-shots, full fluted with SN in one flute. The silver plated brass trigger guard and steel backstrap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with matching SN in backstrap channel. Given that this model of Colt made its debut shortly before the onset of the Civil War and there are records of numerous deliveries to Southern states, some just days before the shelling of Fort Sumter, these earliest fluted Armys are considered by many collectors to be secondary Confederate arms. This gun possibly could be researched from Colt and other sources that have listed many fluted SNs over the years. Regardless who carried this gun during the Civil War, this is a very high condition gun for a fluted Army that no doubt saw service. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall, all matching including wedge and grip with light muzzle wear. Bbl and cylinder retain about 10% bright orig blue turning to plum/brown. SN’s and other markings on gun are well struck and easily discerned as can be seen in photographs. The frame, hammer and loading assembly retain traces of case colors being overall plum/brown.

Blue and color case hardened with 8″ rnd bbl, German silver front sight and 1-line U.S. America address. Frame has “COLT’S PATENT” stamped on left side and is 3-screw style. Cyl is usual rebated style with 6-chambers and Ormsby Naval battle scene roll marking. All of the safety pins are serviceable. The brass trigger guard and iron backstrap contain a 1-pc walnut grip with last four digits of SN found in grip channel. Both sides of grip have inspector cartouches “JT” (John Taylor) and possibly “GDS”; most of the metal parts have inspector initials. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms about 127,000 Model 1860 revolvers were purchased by the Federal Government for use in the Civil War. The vast majority of these revolvers were issued to front line troops and was the most extensively used handgun throughout the Civil War. This particular example is totally original and matching in every regard and has identical condition from muzzle to butt, you can not find a more honest Civil War example in such extremely fine functional condition with a scarce matching accompanying inspected “COLT’S PATENT” 2-cavity bullet mold. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Fine to very fine overall, all matching and orig. Bbl retains about 70-80% orig blue though thinning with dings and dents around wedge slot. “Feathering” in finish is easily discerned around sight and loading arm catch. Frame, hammer, and loading arm retain strong traces of their bright case colors with balance muted and grey/silver.

Cylinder is rebated and has the Ormsby Naval battle scene roll marking. The silver plated brass trigger guard and blued steel backstrap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with last four digits of matching SN in backstrap channel. This gun is interesting in that most metal parts have government inspection marks along with the now factory varnished grips show that this gun was military contract originally. The punch mark on left side of frame in shoulder stock cut-out is thought to show condemnation and the non-inspected cylinder was never SNd. Col. Colt was never one to waste government contract over-run or non-accepted parts. Colt apparently just re-polished and finished this Army for private purchase. Regardless, this is a very fine Colt Army revolver made at the height of the Civil War in late 1863, retaining much orig finish and crisp action, sold in civilian market, possibly to a Civil War officer. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Gun appears orig and all matching with exception of un-serialized wedge, replaced wedge screw and as noted, orig contemporary un-serialized cylinder. Bbl and cylinder retain 30-40% bright orig blue, especially in protected areas with balance plum. Frame, hammer and loading assembly retain strong muted case colors with balance. Silver/grey.

Only about 7,000 of these rare revolvers were produced in the period 1872-73. This predecessor of the venerable single action army, although a fine revolver in its own right, never gained strong popularity in the U.S. because the cartridge revolvers had already emerged on the scene making the rimfire cartridge obsolete. The majority of these revolvers were sold into Mexico and Latin America where the 44RF Henry cartridge was still popular and in extensive use. They are rarely found in orig configuration with any orig finish at all given their rough frontier service under extremely harsh conditions with little or no maintenance. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very fine. Overall retains about all of a fine professionally restored finish of the highest quality with high polish brilliant blues and strong bright case colors. Grip is equally new with one or two minor nicks. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 52328-22 (3,500-4,500) – Lot 1156

According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were about 20,735 of these revolvers produced 1872-1874 in both center fire and rim fire. This model was little changed from the first model, primarily with the addition of a reinforcing “hump” around the trigger guard pin and changing the front sight from German silver to blued steel. They were, like the first model, quite popular on the American frontier and saw extensive service on both sides of the law and ordinary citizens. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton.

CONFEDERATE RICHMOND MUSKETOON.

NSN. Cal. 61. There is a fair amount written in the literature concerning this particular configuration of a Richmond longarm with a 30″ smooth bore bbl, about 46″ overall.

Regardless, this specimen appears orig, authentic and well fit as manufactured. This gun exhibits a beautiful 1863 dated “CS / RICHMOND, VA” marked lock.

Tisdale (1833-1918) entered service from Leominster, May of 1861 as a musician which was quite fitting for the 33 year old piano maker.

The silver plated brass trigger guard and backstrap contain a varnished 1-pc walnut grip with last four digits of matching SN in back strap channel.

SCARCE FINE 1861 DATED SPRINGFIELD RIFLED-MUSKET.

NSN. Cal. 58. 40″ bbl. This is a very nice example of Civil War model 1861 Springfield musket which over 450,000 were made in 1861 and 1862 and few survive in high condition as this was the workhorse musket of the Union Army during the Civil War. Indeed these muskets were often captured and saw continued use by the Confederacy. This gun is consistent with other 1861 Springfield’s being iron mounted, fitted with three flat bands that are spring retained, two leaf rear sight and swelled tulip tip ramrod. This gun is properly marked “US/SPRINGFIELD” with Eagle forward of hammer on lock and “1861” on tail of lock. Barrel flat has matching “1861” date and “VP/Eagle Head” proof.

LAST PAIR OF U.S. MODEL 1805 HARPERS FERRY PISTOL, SERIAL NUMBER 2048, LAST PAIR MADE.

1) HARPERS FERRY 1805. SN 2048. Cal. 54. The Model 1805 pistol was the first American military handgun produced by a national armory. There were 4,096 guns made from 1806-1808 and they were issued in pairs with the same SN, first SN “1”, last SN “2048” and this is the last pair. Both are IN nice orig flint conforming to other guns with 10″ rnd bbl, breech marked with raised eagle over “P” in a sunken oval behind a raised “US” in a sunken oval behind SN 2048. Locks are marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1808″ in vertical arcs behind cock. Under the pan is a spread-winged eagle facing toward the cock over “US”. Harpers Ferry brass furniture consisting of rear rammer pipe, trigger guard, buttcap and sideplate all of correct pattern and configuration. There is a weak script cartouche “V/JS” (James Stubblefield) on wood opposite the lock. This gun is featured on pg 45 of The Gun’s of Harper’s Ferry, Stuart Brown and the more recent text on pg 96, 126-130 Harpers Ferry Arsenal and Joseph Perkins The Classic Arms of the Early Years, Rich Hudak, 2012. The example just recently discovered in 2011. PROVENANCE: Jim Wertenberger Collection; Rick Hudak Collection; Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun appears all orig with crisp markings other than inspectors cartouche in stock which is still visible in outline. Stock is well fit with hand worn patina. Iron overall is a mottled grey with crisp markings. Brass has a light mustard patina overall. Functional with smooth clear bore. 2) HARPERS FERRY 1805. SN 2048. This gun was actually previously known, but because the “4” in SN 2048 is not easily discerned, it took a bit of detective work to realize what it was. This pair has the most intriguing story which is found on the provenance link on website, which is a narrative from Harper Ferry Arsenal and Joseph Perkin The Classic Arms of the Early Years, Rick Hudak, 2012. What an opportunity to own the final pair of the most aesthetically pleasing of all American patterns of martial flintlock revolvers. These are not only very fine guns but the last pair made in exemplary condition with great collection history. PROVENANCE: Jim Wertenberger Collection; Rick Hudak Collection, 2011; Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun appears orig and matching with good markings, with exception of the SN which on other example is extremely well struck. I imagine this was the very last gun made and whoever did the final serialization was tired and that’s why the numbers are only partially struck, though the US cartouche is exceptionally deep. Lock markings are excellent and script inspectors cartouche “V / JS” (James Stubblefield) is excellent and barely discerned on its mate. Like its mate, this gun is functional with clear smooth bore. 52328-38, 52328-39 JS (20,000-30,000) – Lot 1354

RARE AND INTERESTING PRESENTATION DECORATED AND ENGRAVED HARPERS FERRY MODEL 1816 FLINTLOCK MUSKET.

NSN. Cal. 69. This unique musket is beautifully decorated with 18 inset German silver stars varying from 1″ to 1-1/2″, a 4″ spread wing eagle sitting atop a globe, and 4″ blank presentation plate. Lock is marked “HARPERS FERRY 1822” rear of cock and small American eagle with “US” forward of cock. The walnut stock has fine color and checkered wrist not seen on standard military guns. There are other known presentation muskets similarly decorated. Most identified examples were gifts or prizes after the flintlock era in 1840’s or 50’s. The maker of these guns appears consistent, but he utilized muskets of different contractors and even mixed parts. There is a very similar decorated musket displayed in the iconic Claude Fuller Collection at Chickamauga Battlefield Museum and R. L. Wilson shows several almost identical examples in a collage on pg 83 of Steel Canvas. This gun does have a finely engraved name in scroll decoration on top of bbl which is not easily discerned. The last name appears to be “Hamilton” and possibly Schuyler Hamilton who received a similar example as a gift from his friends at the US Military Academy, June 1845. Regardless of recipient, this is a true work of American military art. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Appears orig and complete with typical Harpers Ferry assembly numbers on most metal parts. Bbl, lock and iron mounts show old cleaning with pitting and staining. Bbl is dark with other iron components showing great contrast along with German silver insets and decorations. Wood is sound and solid with crack repair in forestock, there several large dents, dings and scratches. Musket is mechanically sound and functional. 52328-46 JS (4,500-6,500) – Lot 1374

EXTREMELY RARE 1ST MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY RIFLE WITH RATTLESNAKE PATCHBOX.

NSN. Cal. 48. No doubt the most iconic patchbox on any American military arm is 1st Model Virginia Manufactory like this one with 4-pc iron patchbox terminating in rattlesnake’s head, rattlesnake’s body on lid and “DON’T TREAD ON ME” engraved on either side of lid. Giles Cromwell, in his exemplary text The Virginia Manufactory of Arms, 1975, tells the story of these rare rifles. Only 32 guns are noted by Cromwell in first year of production of this variation and indeed no more than 200-250 were made. There is actually an earlier version rifle made in 1803 and 1804 thought to have a plain brass patchbox, but there are no examples known and only 72 were made. The orig configuration of this gun had 46″ bbls. This example has been shortened to 33-1/2″ and is no longer rifled in 44 Cal., but is now smooth bore measuring 48 Cal. and converted to percussion. Regardless, only a few are known and this gun is orig and as found. The bbl is marked “1 VA REGt NORFOLK COUNTY”. PROVENANCE: Collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Good to very good overall. Gun has a hand worn patina overall with an old varnish or shellac covering metal and wood. Iron overall is dark brown/plum, brass has mixed light mustard to chocolate patinas, all protected by the old varnish. Bbl markings are not totally discernible as seen in photo, but “NORFOLK COUNTY” is quite bold. The lock is missing the “V” in Virginia but other markings are discernible. Patchbox details are easily discerned as seen in photographs. Stock has several long hairlines in forestock, tack repair just below lock and lock mortise is wallowed out, but gun is still functional though it won’t hold on half-cock. Ramrod was made for this gun in this configuration with matching patina to stock. 52328-55 JS (4,500-7,500) – Lot 1375
