CIVIL WAR INSCRIBED SMITH & WESSON NO. 2 ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 32 RF. SN 8215. Usual configuration with 6” keyhole bbl, half moon front sight, unfluted cylinder with 2-pc rosewood grips. The bottom of the right grip has the painted number “120B2Y”, which is probably an old museum number. At one time it was nickel-plated. The left sideplate is inscribed “Capt. W.H.H. Robins / Co. I 2nd Regt. / E.T.V.I.”. It is accompanied by a large volume of research in a 3-ring binder indicating that Robins enlisted with his brother in August 1861 in the 2nd Regt. East Tennessee Volunteer Infantry of the U.S. Army. They had previously been members of the Kentucky State Militia Lexington Rifles, but with the outbreak of war, joined the Union Army. He was mustered in as a 1st Sgt. of Company B, was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant in September of 1861 and to 1st Lieutenant in early 1862. On May 10, 1862 he was commissioned Captain of Company I. His regiment was subsequently re-equipped as mounted infantry and participated in the pursuit of Morgan’s Raiders into Ohio and Kentucky. In November 1863, they were garrisoned at Rogersville, TN and were captured by the Confederates of the 4th Kentucky Cavalry. Robins surrendered his revolver at that time and was imprisoned until August 1864 when he was paroled and then mustered out in November 1864. Undoubtedly, this revolver then saw service for the rest of the war with the Confederate 4th Kentucky Cavalry. After the war he returned to Lexington, KY, married and settled down and died in the National Soldier’s Home in Dayton, Ohio, April 15, 1906. Also accompanies is a copy of the November 1966 issue of The Gun Report which has an article by Wiley Sword regarding this and another Smith & Wesson revolver.

EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED FIRST MODEL CONFEDERATE GRISWOLD REVOLVERS. Cal. 36. SN 1346 & 1347. As rare as Griswold revolvers are, a consecutively numbered pair is extremely rare. Only about 50 of the approximately 1,500 First Model Griswold revolvers made have been accounted for. These revolvers have a history with #1346 from the well known Fred Slaton Collection and #1347 from the Stanley Diefenthal Collection, both important Confederate Collections. Both revolvers are described as having 7-1/2” stepped rnd bbls, with 6-groove gain twist rifling. They have Colt style attached rammers, 6-shot cylinders, with brass frame, trigger guard & back strap. Both have 1-pc walnut grips. Both have slightly curved triggers with #1346 being more thin than the one on #1347. Both have 3-screw Colt style frames with a bbl wedge through a slot below a screw. The grip on #1346 is substantially more angled than #1347 but this appears to be factory original as the grips fit perfectly. Both revolvers have all matching assembly numbers including the penciled two digits in the backstrap channel of the grips. #1346 has the assembly number “26” which appears on the ramrod pivot, left side of the trigger guard under the grip and on the wedge. The same number appears in the back strap channel. The backstraps themselves are unnumbered. Also appearing on the left side of the trigger guard is the Roman Numeral “VIII” and “BB” on the right side. The same “BB” appears on the back edge of the frame. It has the initials “CK” scratched on the bottom of the butt. #1347 has the assembly number “27” which appears in the same locations as above and the Roman Numeral “III” is on the left side of the grip frame and reversed “JJ” on the right side. The same “JJ” appears on the back edge of the frame. The cylinders are almost exact replications of an 1851 Colt Navy cylinder. CONDITION: Number 1346 is very fine. No original finish remains, being a mottled silver/gray patina with worn muzzle edge and hammer marks around the wedge slot. Frame shows moderate wear with light nicks & dings and retains a beautiful medium dark mellow patina. Frame screws are slightly battered and one trigger guard screw is missing. Grips are sound with a couple of bruises on the bottom showing moderate wear, with a fine hand polished patina. Strong bore, pitted in the grooves. Number 1347 is very fine. Shows less wear with a light silver/brown patina and light nicks & dings on the bbl with fine pitting around the forcing cone. Wedge is a modern replacement. Frame is fine with replaced frame screws and some casting flaws on the right side. Hammer has light pitting on both sides. Grips are fine and sound with light handling & use marks and retain 15-20% original varnish, mostly on the left side. Frame retains a light cleaned patina that is beginning to patinate. Strong dark bore with good rifling. 4-51219 JR1116 (55,000-75,000)

EXTREMELY RARE CONFEDERATE INDIAN TREATY FLAG OR BATTLE FLAG. This flag is one of three surviving specimens and the only one in private hands. During the early part of the Civil War the Confederate states formed an alliance with certain southern Indian nations; the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, the Seminole, the Creek and later the Cherokee nation, to fight on the side of the confederacy. Originally the flag was designed with four red stars to form a passion cross and to represent the four Indian nations that belonged to the confederacy. Later, when the Cherokee joined, a fifth red star was added. The other two flags in existence relating to this Indian alliance are both in museums. They are slightly different in composition, but all three maintain a unique construction aspect in that they are all made of cotton. None of the other Indian associated flags has five red stars in the center, but one of the horizontal bars has the text, “CHEROKEE BRAVES”. This was captured at Locust Grove in the Cherokee nation on the third day of July in 1862 and was carried by General Stand Watie’s Confederate Indians. Another related Indian flag has 15 total stars; 11 for the Confederate states and four for the four Indian nations that at that time had aligned, each of those stars, rather than being red, have the name of Indian nation it represents in the horizontal bar with the text, “STRIKE FOR YOUR ALTAR AND YOUR HOMES”. It is known that this flag was sewn by Mrs. Victoria Redwine, wife of Captain (and later Major) Hulum D. C. Redwine, commanding officer of Company E. This was donated to the Texas military Museum and was carried by the 10th Regiment Texas Volunteer Calvary. This flag being offered is similar to a flag described in the September 6, 1861 Alton Illinois “Telegraph”, which copied an article from the Fort Smith Arkansas “Times” of August 1861. In this article it describes a flag very similar to the example being offered except that at the time of this article the fifth star representing the Cherokee nation had not been added. “The Confederate Flag Floats Over Our Camp… Inside the circle the commissioner has placed four small red stars forming the four extremities of a passion cross – for the four nations, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole in token that these Christian tribes of ‘Redmen’ are encircled by our protection and are with and of us. When, if ever we deem fit to treat with the Cherokees, a fifth star will form the center of the cross…” This flag possibly a treaty flag, used at the time that the 5th Indian nation joined and/or very likely used as a battle flag in one of the Texas units. It was purchased a few years ago at an estate auction in San Antonio, Texas. It is an extremely rare flag and the only privately owned flag associated with these treaties. The five Indian nations fought on behalf of the confederacy and in fact the Cherokees distinguished themselves being led by one of their own General Stand Watie. Watie was the only Indian to attain the rank of General; his 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles were instrumental in disrupting Federal operations and cutting Union supply lines in the region. Watie was the last confederate General to cease hostilities and he never formally surrendered. The flag’s format is a standard Confederate 1st National with the blue field, white stars and alternating red/white/red horizontal bars the only difference here being the five red stars formed as the symbol of the passion cross within the circle of white stars. It is unquestionably a period flag and is accompanied by a letter of authentication from noted flag historian; Howard Michael Madaus dated August 20, 2003. Additionally, the flag is accompanied by a textile report by the nation’s foremost textile authority, Fonda Thompson whose findings also affirm that the flag is of the Civil war era. The flag’s history makes it extremely intriguing Confederate memorabilia. It’s size, bright colors and condition, make this a wonderful decorative specimen. A unique opportunity to own an extraordinarily rare Confederate/Indian associated item. SIZE: Flag is 97″‘ on the fly and 58″ at the hoist. CONDITION: Flag maintains strong color. It has scattered small holes from use although not of great detraction. There is a vertical repaired cut, which runs through the flag. Fonda Thompson’s textile analysis found that the repair was apparently done during the Civil War era, as the thread fibers are the same as the type produced in that period. (if we only knew why this was done – what an intriguing story this might also tell!). The flag loses no aesthetics in this repair and only a minute loss to the overall size of the flag. The original attachment is still here and Mr. Madaus’ details offer substantial details to its structure and history. The sale of this flag represents a singular opportunity to own what is, without a doubt, one of the more unique and extremely collectible artifacts of the little known portion of the Confederate/Indian alliance during the Civil War. Also offered with this flag is a copy of, “GENERAL STAND WATIE’S CONFEDERATE INDIANS”, by Frank Cunningham. 4-51301 (60,000-80,000)

VERY RARE KRAFT, GOLDSCHMIDT & KRAFT STAFF AND FIELD OFFICERS CONFEDERATE SWORD W/ SCABBARD. A rare early K.G. & K. sword. The guard and the pommel are decorated with K.G.&K.’s unique combination of laurel leaves and oak leaves, and the guard features a pierced “CS” embedded in the oak leaves, conforming to fig. 21-A in Albaugh’s “Photographic Supplement…”. The hilt, pommel, and especially knuckleguard are roughly finished, with casting marks, mold seams, and file marks evident. The grip is leather covered and wrapped with a single strand of wire. The blade is unmarked and not etched. The fullers exhibit variations in width/depth, possibly due to the pressures of getting into the sword business at the beginning of the war and the need to produce many swords in a very short period of time. The fullering and ricasso of this blade are atypical of this maker. The scabbard is iron, with brass throat, mounts, and drag. Size: 42” overall from pommel to drag. 34” long blade with 3/8” wide unstopped fullers. CONDITION: Overall good. Brass parts of the hilt are roughly finished, as they usually are, but in good condition. Blade is dark with mottled stains and cleaned pitting. Scabbard has a number of dents and the iron body has been refinished over pitting. Lower mount has a repair at its lower edge and some rust is visible between the mount and the scabbard. 4-51234 (18,000-22,000)

IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE GENERALS 1861 FIELD SWORD AND SCABBARD WITH INSCRIBED PRESENTATION FROM THE GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA. BRIGADIER GENERAL ARCHIBALD GRACIE, JR. C.S.A.-KILLED IN ACTION! We do not guarantee the inscription on this sword. One of the great opportunities in the market place to purchase the historic sword of Brigadier General Archibald Gracie, Jr. who was killed in action around Petersburg on December 2, 1864. This sword was presented to him by Alabama Governor Andrew Barry (A.B.) Moore who was the elected head of Alabama from 1857 through 1861 and played an important role in the first Confederate Congress assembled in Montgomery, Alabama in 1861. The presentation was made at the outset of War in 1861 when Gracie was appointed Major of the 11th Alabama Regiment.

The sword is a rather plain U.S. Model 1850 foot officer’s sword having a cast brass hilt, decorated pommel with sharkskin covered and twisted wire wrapped wooden grip. The slightly curved blade measures 30.25” and is decorated with etched patriotic designs including “U.S.” and a spread winged American eagle and shield. The blade is unmarked and may be the product of a Solingen manufacturer. The scabbard is of black bridle leather with plain brass mounts. The top mount is inscribed: Presented to Maj. A. Gracie / 11th Ala. Regt. / by Gov. A.B. Moore / 1861.

Archibald Gracie, Jr., was born in New York City, New York, on December 1, 1832. Gracie was born into a prominent New York family, and went to Heidelberg, Germany to study. He graduated from West Point in 1854, and served on the northwestern frontier. In 1856, he resigned from the army and joined his father in a cotton-brokerage business in Mobile, Alabama. Gracie became involved in the state militia. When the secession crisis began, Gracie’s father returned to New York, but Archibald, Jr. remained in Alabama as a militia captain of the Washington Light Infantry. Gracie seized the federal arsenal at Mount Vernon, Alabama, under the orders of Alabama Gov. Andrew B. Moore, before the state left the Union. Gracie and his troops joined the 3d Alabama Infantry, and were sent to Virginia. After being promoted to brigadier general to rank from November 4, 1862, he fought in the Battle of Chickamauga, the Siege of Knoxville and the fighting at Bean’s Station, where Gracie was seriously wounded. He recovered, and was assigned to duty under Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, fighting on the Petersburg siege lines. Gracie was killed by Union artillery on December 2, 1864, while he was observing enemy movements. His father had Gracie’s body moved to New York City after the Civil War ended. Francis O. Ticknor wrote a poem of eulogy, entitled “Gracie, of Alabama”. His father’s mansion serves as the official residence of the Mayor of New York City –commonly known as “Gracie Mansion.”

CONDITION: Good. This sword has seen a great deal of field use but no abuse. This condition makes this sword even more desirable and historic in that it is highly likely that this sword accompanied General Gracie through his war career until his death at the killing end of a Yankee artillery shell at Petersburg. Blade is worn with a medium gray patina overall. Etching is visible but light. Brass hilt is a bit loose and unpolished, and the grip shows wear. Scabbard has a repaired break in the leather scabbard just above the drag (relatively well done). Brass mounts are uncleaned with a dark patina and the engraved presentation clear and genuine. 4-50609 CW1 (20,000-40,000)

HISTORIC CONFEDERATE USED CAVALRY SABER. Unmarked 1842 pattern saber with 35-1/2” slightly curved blade, small & large fullers, leather and twisted wire wrapped handle, 3-branch hand guard with original iron scabbard. Accompanied by an original leather sword knot. Also accompanies are several pages of provenance including that for CSA Brig. Gen. Beverly Holcombe Robertson and another for 1st Lt. George Eaton Priest.

Robertson was an 1849 graduate of West Point and served on the western frontier participating in several battles. He became a Captain in 1861 when he resigned and accepted a Colonel’s commission in the Confederate Army. He was the Commander of the 4th Regiment Virginia Cavalry. He fought throughout the war in several major battles including Gettysburg and several other lesser battles. He fought a rear guard action against Sherman’s troops in his march to the sea.

The sword is accompanied by a card of the “COMMANDERY OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS. / MILITARY ORDER OF THE LOYAL LEGION OF THE UNITED STATES” (MOLLUS) which has typewritten information on the front “REBEL SWORD”, and on the back – “Sword of General Holcombe Robertson C.S.A.” and a number. The front is inscribed in old ink “George Eaton Priest, / First Lieutenant, Quartermaster, / 57th Massachusetts Infantry, U.S.V. / Born 1843 / Died July 1897”. Lt. Priest served throughout the war and was discharged August 9, 1865. In 1886 the MOLLUS formed a Civil War Library & Museum to serve as a repository for their records, relics, souvenirs, etc. at 1805 Pine Street, Philadelphia, PA. Apparently Lt. Priest donated this sword which accounts for the number designation on the back of the card.

CONDITION: Sword is fine with mostly bright blade and with some staining along the edge and toward the tip. Brass has traces of original gilding with the balance a dark brownish patina. Handle has slight losses to the leather with loose wire. Scabbard is mostly dark brown with traces of original nickel, no bends or dings. Sword knot is dry with crackled surface, the strap broken in the middle. 4-51413 (2,250-3,250)

CONFEDERATE STYLE NAVAL SHORT SWORD. Short sword/naval boarding knife of unusual design. The blade has an asymmetrical cup-shaped iron guard riveted to the iron quillions. The back edge of the blade is sharpened from the tip of the blade, back 6 inches. We cannot guarantee this to be Confederate, but accompanying is a letter of appraisal from Larry Mealor of The Sword Depot, stating that this is the second such weapon ever seen by him. In the letter, he states that he sent the previous example to Mr. R. E. Neville, who also believed it to be of Confederate manufacture and photographed it for further study. He further states that similarity of the hilt to that of the Boyle Gamble McFee sword point to that firm as a likely manufacturer. SIZE: 19” overall. 14” long blade. CONDITION: Grip’s leather wrap is worn but nearly complete. Grip is wrapped with a single coarse strand of brass wire, which is complete. Guard and quillion are a bit loose.

LT. GEN. JUBAL EARLYS CASED PEPPERBOX PISTOL AND PUBLISHED WAR MEMOIR, PRESENTED TO, AND ANNOTATED BY, HIS ADJUTANT, BRIG. GEN. PAYNE. This historic lot contains a cased Allen & Thurber pepperbox pistol, a photograph of Confederate artillery emplacements at Petersburg, and best of all, a copy of Jubal Early’s book A Memoir of the Last Year of the War for Independence in the Confederate States of America. The sepia-toned photograph is about 2-1/2” x 4” and shows an impressive array of artillery protected by earthwork. An ink inscription on the back identifies it as the interior of a fort near Petersburg. The book was printed in 1866 by Lovell & Gibson of Toronto, and is inscribed on the title page “General Payne with the compliments of J A Early” Early presented it to Brig. Gen. Payne January 10th, 1867, and the presentation is so dated in Early’s hand. The book is quite interesting since it gives Early’s interpretation of the battlefield activities in the waning days of the Confederacy. More compelling are the numerous notations, made by Gen. Payne, in the margins. While some of the notations are supportive of Early’s interpretations of events, many are not. For example, a notation made by Payne regarding Early’s account of the Battle of Cedar Creek, and a critical misrepresentation of the timing of the assault “came near making a break between Early and Gordon. I was sent for by both generals to give my recollection of time, and I remember that Early was anxious to convince me that I must be mistaken.” The margins surrounding Early’s accounts of Cedar Creek and the Valley Campaign are loaded with Payne’s notations – not all of them critical of Early. This book would be a wonderful primary resource for any historian seeking to better understand the controversies and criticisms that surrounded Lee’s “mean old man”, including questions of judgement and character. This lot was purchased at a Christie’s auction some years ago ex. collection of Rev. M. L. Steadman and is accompanied by a notarized letter from the lady from whom he acquired the items. The pepperbox is described as an Allen & Thurber percussion pocket size pistol with 3-1/2”, 6-shot, fluted bbl cluster. Cal. 32. SN 162. It has Allen’s Patent bar hammer with engraved attached nipple shield, round engraved receiver and bag shaped 2-pc walnut grips. It is accompanied by its original maroon velvet lined walnut case, compartmented for the pistol, a small iron 2-cavity mold, wood handled wiping rod, small round spring loaded brass flask and an open compartment containing loose balls, the key to the box and a Civil War era cannon ignitor. CONDITION: Book has been professionally conserved and is in quite good condition. Photograph is very good to excellent. Pistol is extremely fine, probably unfired, with the bbl retaining 96-98% strong bright original blue. Nipple shield & receiver retain 20-30% bright glossy blue with the balance flaked to light patina. Grips retain most of their original bright varnish. Accessories are fine. Case is sound with light nicks & scratches and retains most of its original varnish. 4-50270 (20,000-24,000)

NAVAL CANNON FROM SUMMER HOME OF DIRECTOR JOHN HUSTON. This large naval cannon once sat in the back yard of John Huston’s summer home in Cape Elizabeth Maine, commanding a view of the ocean on three sides. Huston directed some of the best movies of all time, including The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, Key Largo, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The cannon is quite massive, being over a foot in diameter at it’s widest, 58” in length, with a 5” bore. We estimate that it weighs in excess of 1000 lbs. It is covered in black paint and has an interesting grooved protrusion between the trunnions that was probably used as a sight. The cannon is currently located in Kennebunkport Maine. The successful bidder will be responsible for making all arrangements to pick up and ship this cannon. The consignor will provide a signed statement to the buyer establishing provenance to the John Huston estate. CONDITION: Good, with corrosion and weathering, painted as noted above. 4-51419 SO4 (6,000 – 10,000)

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD CONFEDERATE SHELL WITH PROVENANCE. A cast iron Read shell casing obtained from the Gettysburg Battlefield by Maj. Gen. Oliver Otis Howard in 1902. Gen. Howard served throughout the Civil War and fought at Gettysburg all three days of the battle. On the first day of the battle, he briefly took command of the 1st and 11th Corps and a cavalry division after the death of Maj. Gen. Reynolds. After assessing the situation he withdrew his troops to Cemetery Ridge and set up a defensive line there which later became critical in the ensuing battle. He was shortly relieved by Maj. Gen. Hancock and was reassigned to other duties. He retired from the Army in 1894 as a Major General in the regular Army and in 1901, during one of his frequent visits to Gettysburg with his son James, obtained this shell. It remained in the family until just recently. The shell is described as being 7-1/8” in length by about 3” in diameter of hollow cast iron with a brass, rotating band attached to the base. The shell has definitely been fired, as the rifling grooves are visible in the rotating band. It apparently had a defective fuse and did not explode. It presently has a brass fuse body that is marked “Gettysburg July 1” and an indecipherable year. This information was extracted from an article that appeared in the North South Trader Volume 27 Number 26. CONDITION: Overall crusty brown patina with pitting. Rotating band is a dark blackish patina with some verdigris. 4-51411 JR953 (1,250-1,750)

MAGNIFICENT AND HISTORIC CIVIL WAR MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL OFFICERS SWORD BY AMES-TO BRIGADIER GENERAL HENRY LAWRENCE EUSTIS-10TH MASS. An important unique presentation U.S. Model 1860 Staff & Field Officer’s Sword by Ames of the highest grade. The only other sculpted hilt Ames swords of the Civil War period known were those of General U.S. Grant and the sword of General Jesse Reno (sold by James D. Julia in 2001 for $109,000). Of great significance is the similarity to the U.S. Grant sword, which is the most famous and important of all Ames swords (Hamilton, pg. 169), which was designed by master sculpture John Q. A. Ward of New York. All 3 of these swords, Eustis, Reno and Grant, have floral decorated shell guards with the General’s initials. This sword, like Reno’s and Grant’s, is totally custom made. Most features are unique and not seen on any other sword. There is no higher quality in Ames swords.

The sword is a variant pattern of the U.S. Model 1860 Staff & Field Officers sword and was made by the Ames Mfg. Co. The blade is straight, double edged, with a central fuller and measures 31” long. Bold etching covers 95% of the blade’s length. A very rare and unusual feature for an American sword. In fact, if the blade were not signed “Ames Manf. Co., Chicopee, Mass”, its maker would be unknown, as this quality of fine, profuse etching has not been previously encountered in other Ames swords. The etching incorporates Victorian floral designs, an American shield, intertwined “US,” and classical stands of arms. At the ricasso the blade is signed, “Ames Mfg. Co./Chicopee, Mass.” The hilt is gold washed cast brass in high relief. The clamshell counterguard is edged with rococo scrolls of the finest qualityand has Eustis’ initials intertwined in gold. The reverse clamshell is diminutive and undecorated. The quillion is a unique design of a Roman warrior’s head with helmet. The face of the warrior appears to be that of Eustis himself!! (To our knowledge, this head does not appear on any other Ames sword). The single knucklebow is highly decorated on the obverse with an American shield, traditional Roman armor and arms and a cameo relief head of a Union soldier in Bummer kepi in an oval cartouche, again with the same image of Eustis himself? This knucklebow is identical to another unique solid gold Ames sword presented to Franklin Pierce by the state of New Hampshire in 1849 (see John Hamilton, p. 97, “Ames Sword Company”. The only difference being the lack of the oval cameo of Eustis. The Pierce sword has a plain undecorated oval). The pommel is a Roman warrior’s head with crested helmet and again in Eustis’ image. The grip, which is identical to the Reno sword, is unseen elsewhere, having white sharkskin banded in a gilted geometric pattern on wire. Equally magnificent is the scabbard, which is gold plated and signed by Ames on the reverse near the throat. The mounts and profuse engraving are again some of the finest found on an Ames sword. The top mount has two carrying rings and represents a sunburst and acanthus leaf spray with a Greek God’s face in the center. The middle mount is similar, however, the Indian figure from the Massachusetts state seal is imposed in the center. The drag is decorated with a stand of flags and also framed as the previous two are. In addition to these cast elements applied to the scabbard body, approximately 30% of the scabbard is decorated with engraved military trophies.

Between the top and middle mount is the General’s name “H.L. EUSTIS” in large block letters. To the top and bottom, intertwined with floral engraving is a ribbon reading: “Presented to Brigadier General [H.L. EUSTIS] by the 10th Mass Infantry”. This inscription is in the most deluxe style!

The sword is accompanied by its original wooden presentation case with the script initials “HLE” in nicely engraved, solid, sheet-silver inlaid in the cover. The case retains its original blue velvet lining and is fitted with a hinged lidded compartment, which contains a wine-red fringed silk sash.

Henry Eustis was a brilliant man, educated at Harvard and West Point and instructor of engineering of both. Generals Newton and Sedgwick both praised him in their reports from the Chancellorville Campaign for “gallant service”.

Eustis was born in Fort Independence, Boston, Massachusetts on February 1, 1819, the son of Brigadier General Abraham Eustis an officer in the garrison for whom Fort Eustis, Virginia was named. Also named after him is the village of “Eustis” in Northwestern Maine. He attended Harvard, graduated in 1838, and went to West Point, graduating first in his class of 56 in 1842 ahead of such notable classmates as Richard Anderson, Abner Doubleday, A. P. Stewart, D. H. Hill, James Longstreet, Lafayette McLaws, John Newton, John B. Kurtz, George Sykes and Earl Van Dorn.

Eustis could choose his appointment, by virtue of his class ranking, and elected to go into the engineers. He served on projects along the east coast, including the construction of Fort Warren in Boston Harbor. He also spent two years (1847-1849) as an instructor of engineering at West Point. In 1849 he resigned to become professor of engineering at the new Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard.

In August of 1862 Eustis became Colonel of the 10th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Eustis was in temporary command of the brigade (at the time the Second Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Corps) for a month before receiving permanent command and promotion to Brigadier General (USV) in September 1863. In the regimental history of the Tenth Massachusetts Infantry it is cited that the men of the Tenth Massachusetts raised $300 towards the purchase of this great sword, sash, and belt, which they presented to Eustis at Brandy Station on February 19, 1864. He led his brigade at Fredericksburg (after Colonel Brown of the Thirty-sixth New York was wounded), Marye’s Heights, Salem Heights, Gettysburg, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run and the Wilderness.

Eustis apparently used and became addicted to opium. He resigned on June 27, 1864, one week after the Tenth Massachusetts left for home, citing reasons of “ill health”. Eustis returned to his professorship at Harvard, authoring a number of technical and scientific articles. He died on January 11, 1885, and is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.

CONDITION: Sword and scabbard are excellent. The blade exhibits its factory frosty etching over all with no flaws. The hilt retains about 100% of its bright gold wash, as does the scabbard. Only a few small dark, age spots appear. The carrying ring is missing from the middle scabbard mount. The hilt, particularly the pommel, could be tightened. The sash is worn and the silk is brittle with deterioration, especially at the fringe. The case is missing the lock and escutcheon and has some scuffs. There are some cracks in the bottom panel and some joints are loose, but the wood is all present. This is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the finest Ames presentation swords in existence, a spectacular find. 4-51300 JS, CW, JJ (75,000-125,000)

RARE AND HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT CASED STATE OF NEW JERSEY MEXICAN WAR PRESENTATION SWORD FOR GALLANTRY-LT. HAMILTON, 2ND REGIMENT U.S. DRAGOONS. A rare opportunity to purchase a cased State of New Jersey Mexican War period presentation sword inscribed to one its heroes, Lieutenant Fowler Hamilton, for gallantry in action. A significant original newspaper article is included from the New York True Sun details the events surround the presentation of this sword by the New Jersey legislature. The sword is unmarked (the accompanying newspaper article states that the swords were made by “Wilson’s of Trenton), but undoubtedly made by a very high quality swordsmith. The straight, double edged blade with central fuller measures 31” and is covered in patriotic etching over 90% of its length. The etching includes an American eagle, crossed cannon, stands of arms and rococo scrolls. Both sides are identical. The cross guard is fashioned as two, heart shaped leaf clusters, open in the center. The obverse, shield shaped languet is gold washed with an applied state seal of New Jersey in the center. The reverse languet carries the engraved motto: “Militi De Republica Bene Merente Nova Caesarea Honores Decer Nit” The grip is of sterling silver, sexagonal in cross section with engraved panels. The grip panels are decorated with heavy scrollwork, flowers, baroque decoration and one American shield. The pommel is a closed, crested, knight’s helmet with a heavy triple heavy chain attached to the cross guard. The scabbard is gold washed and highly decorated. The top mount incorporates two carrying rings each clutched in a closed hand. The middle mount has a single ring in clutched hand. The drag, with traces of silver plating, is cast with scrollwork. A broad rectangular panel contains the inscription, which reads: “Presented by the State of New Jersey to Lieut. Fowler Hamilton / of the 2nd U.S. Dragoons, for gallant conduct displayed in the / battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Monterey. / Subsequently distinguished at Vera Cruz and at the Bridge of Madeline”. The remainder of the scabbard’s obverse is heavily decorated with engraved scrolls and a scallop shell. The presentation case is of walnut with Rosewood veneer and measures 40.5” X 6” X 3”. A fancy brass escutcheon is inlaid on the top. The corners are bound in brass. The interior is lined in dark blue velvet and fitted in French style. Lieutenant Fowler Hamilton graduated from the USMA at West Point in 1836. He was appointed 2nd Lt. in the 2nd U.S. Dragoons on July 1, 1840. On august 31, 1843 he was promoted to 1st Lt. Following the War with Mexico, Hamilton was appointed Major of the 10th U.S. Infantry in 1847, Lt. Colonel of the 16th U.S. Infantry May 1848. Hamilton was honorably discharged on August 5, 1848 and reverted to his rank of Captain, 2nd U.S. Dragoons through July 25, 1850. He died August 8, 1851 on the San Saba River in Texas while in pursuit of a band of Indians.

A newspaper article dated March 8, 1849 accompanies, which details the presentation of this sword to Fowler Hamilton as well as those presented to Capt. William R. Montgomery, Lt. N. Beakes Rossel and Samuel G. French. The ceremonial presentation was made in the Assembly Room of the State Capitol in Trenton. The legislature authorized the purchase of these presentation swords (presumably identical) at a cost of $175.00 each. General Samuel R. Hamilton (presumably a relative) of the New Jersey Militia accepted Fowler Hamilton’s presentation sword in his absence, making a long acceptance speech on his behalf. Governor Haines lauded Hamilton’s service by saying: “Of Lieut. Hamilton, it is but just to add, that during the engagement at Palo Alto his squadron was prompt to repel an attack of the lancers on our left; and that on being dispatched with a message to Gen. Taylor, he rode in pursuit of him along the almost entire line of the army, under the fire of the enemy, with all the coolness of an officer on review. At Matamoras, he led the advanced guard, and with great credit discharged the duties, endured the fatigues, and encountered the perils of that important service, pursuing the enemy for many miles; capturing some of his rear guard and munitions of war. At Monterey, in taking the reconnaissance of the town, his corps was much exposed, being often under the guns, and the especial object of the enemy’s fire.”

CONDITION: Very good. Sword is quite nice. Etching on the blade is light with minor staining here and there. Hilt is very good with some wear to silver and gold plating. Scabbard is undented, sharp with minor wear to the gold wash in one area. Presentation case has losses to the veneer top and wear to the edges of the French fitting for the sword. Brass lock escutcheon is missing. 4-50266 CW11 (17,500-27,500)

BEAUTIFUL INSCRIBED SWORD OF INVENTOR AND GEN. JAMES DURRELL GREENE. This beautifully etched sword was the property of James Durrell Greene, who invented the first bolt-action breech-loading rifle adopted by the U. S. military. The Greene rifle was produced by the Waters Armory and, though it appears unrifled, it features an ovoid bore to spin the bullet. Greene served as a Colonel with the U. S. 7th Infantry from June of ’61 until Sept. of ’63. This hard-fought unit participated in most of the major battles of the Civil War, including the Wheatfield at the Battle of Gettysburg. In Sept. of ’63, Greene was commissioned into Field & Staff U. S. 6th Infantry and was brevetted to Brigadier General at war’s end. British pattern officer’s saber with 35-1/2” blade and gutta percha grips. The scabbard is iron with plain mount. The sword’s blade is etched on the obverse with an eagle and shields surmounted by a sunburst, surrounded by a vine and foliate design. There is similar foliate and floral etching at the ricasso. The reverse is etched similarly with an elaborate etched and engraved “U. S.” in the place of the eagle and with a ribbon bordered shield at the ricasso bearing the inscription “COL. J. D. GREENE/17th/U. S. INFANTRY”. The etching is of very high quality with a fine, frosted background, and finely, detailed engraving on the raised surfaces. Although the mounts are plain, the blade is spectacular. The hilt is of iron, adorned only with simple, incised outlines, and the pommel is a simple sculpted, tiered design with a button tang. Accompanied by provenance, which includes photocopies of Greene’s military records and some research materials from Internet sources, including a notation that President Lincoln occupied Col. Greene’s private box at the theater on Jan. 2, 1864. CONDITION: Blade is fine, retaining most of its high polish and virtually all of its fine frosting in the etched areas. Grips are fine, showing some wear but no losses. Scabbard is fine with only light corrosion, primarily at the drag, and no dents. 4-51355 SO (7,500-12,500)

Dickinson enlisted as 1st Lieutenant with the 26th Pennsylvania Volunteers in May of 1861 and received a Presidential Commission by Abraham Lincoln to Captain in August of 1861. He was subsequently promoted to Major and Lt. Colonel for gallantry in battle and turned down a General’s star to stay in combat. He was wounded three times: at Williamsburg, at Fair Oaks and Gettysburg. The Gettysburg wound was most debilitating and caused his eventual resignation from the Army in 1864. Dickinson fought in a number of the major battles up to and including Gettysburg. It was in late June of 1863 that Gen. Dickinson, acting as Adjutant General to Gen. Meade surveyed the field and selected a little farmhouse on a Taneytown road for Mead’s headquarters which subsequently precipitated the Battle of Gettysburg. He died in 1904 as the result of complications from his wounds. Accompanying the lot is a signed letter from Thomas L. Gulick, who was Gen. Dickinson’s grandnephew from whom the sword was purchased. Additionally accompanies is pension requests and other documents from Dickinson as well as the military record of Robert H. Gulick (General Dickson’s nephew).

RARE, UNUSUAL, UNIQUE AND HISTORIC TIFFANY & COMPANY SILVER PLATED HIGH GRADE CIVIL WAR PRESENTATION ARTILLERY OFFICERS INSCRIBED SWORD-CAPT. W.A. TREADWELL 14TH N.Y. HEAVY ARTILLERY. One of the most spectacular Civil War presentation swords to come to market in some time. This represents the epitome of the sword-maker’s art and is an unusual, unique and rare silver-plated presentation sword and an historically important object of art. Styled after English Household Cavalry sabers of the Victorian period, this uniquely American sword carries all the elegance and sophistication of European design while incorporating all of the important patriotic symbols of the United States. Inscribed to Captain William A. Treadwell of the 14th New York Heavy Artillery, this sword is also historically important belonging to a fine officer from a well fought unit which distinguished itself in a number of important battles with the Army of the Potomac.


This sword is silver plated from head to toe. The blade was manufactured by Collins & Co. of Hartford, Connecticut and is so marked on the ricasso along with the date “1861” on the reverse. The curved, single edged blade is covered with deep etching over 60% of its length. Most of the decoration is floral with a standing artillery officer on one side and a standing infantryman on the other. Within the floral sprays is a fancy “US.”, above the ricasso in a small shield is “Tiffany & Co./N.Y.”. The hilt is silver-plated with a full basket guard in the English style. The openwork hilt is of rococo scrolls, beautifully shaded with engraving, and a gadrooned edging. Just above the counterguard is a classic Federal period style American eagle and shield, all hand engraved in the most elegant style. The eagle is surmounted by a fleur-de-lis and scroll up to the pommel. The quillon is most unusual being a fierce panther head with teeth bared. The pommel is of bird’s head style with a backstrap. Atop the pommel is a deeply cast Medusa head in high relief. Down the backstrap are engraved oak leaf fronds and acorns. The grip is of sterling silver with wide silver band wrap. The scabbard and mounts are also entirely silver plated. The throat has applied to the reverse and very small ribband and cartouche reading: “Tiffany & Co. / quality ___ 1000”. Immediately below is an Old English “M” in an oval cartouche. The top and middle mounts are cast high relief oak leaf clusters with ribbon knots near the rings. The drag is engraved with oak leaves and acorns terminating in a stylized scallop shell pattern. Between the top and middle mounts is inscribed: Presented in behalf of / Co. “G” 14th Regt. N.Y.V.A. / to / Capt. W.A. Treadwell / “Vera amicitia est sempiterua”.

Captain Treadwell enlisted as a Captain of the 164th Infantry Sept. 13, 1862. He joined the 14th NYHA as Captain of Company G in September 1863. He was discharged on December 14, 1864.

NATIONAL LANCERS-BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. EXTREMELY RARE U.S. MODEL 1833 DRAGOON SWORD MARKED “NATIONAL LANCERS” AND LATER PERIOD UNIFORM COATEE AND BELT. This sword and uniform from very different periods of history are linked to the National Lancers from Boston Massachusetts. The first item is an extremely rare U.S. Model 1833 Dragoon saber, which is inscribed “National Lancers” on the reverse side of the blade. A standard regulation model, made by Ames and thus marked “N.P. Ames Cutler/Springfield/Mass” and dated “1837” on the ricasso. The sword has a quill backed single edged blade measuring 33.5”. The hilt is of brass with a three-branch counterguard and the turned down quillion is stamped “37”. Bird’s head pommel and backstrap. The scabbard is of iron with a large drag. The grip is of wood covered with brown leather. Only a small group of these were made on contract to this historic militia cavalry troop. CONDITION: Good. Blade is gray with light pitting, markings are clear. Hilt is uncleaned and the counterguard slightly bent. Grip is missing its wire wrap and 1” piece of wood is missing near the pommel. Scabbard is dark, uncleaned and has numerous creases near the drag. The second item is an early to mid 20th century National Lancers uniform coat and belt. Custom tailored by the Rosenberg Uniform Company, Boston, Mass, the red wool coatee is of European style, double breasted with a dark blue plastron, collar and cuffs. On the collar is “NL” embroidered and applied in gilt wire. Welts of dark blue follow the back of the sleeve and rise from the tails in the back. Dark blue shoulder knots accompany. The coatee is lined in a white polished cotton material and the maker’s label is on the interior left breast pocket. Accompanying the coat is a white buff leather Sam Browne belt dated to the approximate age of the coat. Most of the buttons, except for a few replacements, were made by D. Evans & Co. Attleboro, Mass. There is a two-piece brass uniform button with “NL” in Old English on the face. CONDITION: Good. Some fading has occurred and rank insignia has been removed from the sleeves. Interior is stained. Some buttons re-sewn and/or replaced but overall it provides an impressive appearance. The National Lancers has a long and distinguished history as a volunteer troop of militia cavalry. The Lancers were organized on 31 October 1836 at the request of Gov. Edward Everett of Massachusetts. In 1845, the National Lancers adopted a uniform consisting of a red tunic with a blue plastron, blue breeches adorned with the “czapka” and the Polish lancer shako. In 1852, the unit was redesignated as Company A, 1st Battalion of Light Dragoons. However, the unit kept its distinctive designation as the National Lancers. With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, the Lancers organized two war service troops; Companies C and D, 1st Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. These companies fought with the Army of the Potomac taking part in campaigns in South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. During the Boston Draft Riot in July 1863, the National Lancers, in its home guard role, helped put down the rioting and stopped a mob from seizing the guns and armory of the Boston Light Artillery. Present day Massachusetts National Guard units claim descent from this historic group and there exists a “ceremonial” troop of National Lancers, which are organized as a private non-profit group. 4-50972 CW8 (1,500-2,500)

EXQUISITE TIFFANY GRIPPED COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE REVOLVER. Cal. 36. SN 23630. Fine & rare little Colt with 4-1/2” rnd bbl, 1-line New York address, with extensive intertwined foliate & floral engraving with punch dot background over the bbl, frame, cylinder & hammer. This is unquestionably Young engraving with his trademark wolf’s heads on each side of the hammer nose. The bottom of the frame, bottom of the barrel lug & front end of the trigger guard are lightly engraved also, as is the bottom of the rammer lever and the ends of the wedge. The rammer & lever, cylinder & hammer are gold washed. The back strap and grips have been replaced with a beautiful Tiffany spread-winged Federal eagle grip. The eagle is clutching laurel leaves in each talon, which extend completely around the base of the grip and flows up each edge to the top of the grip. The eagle and all the decorations are in bas-relief. At the top of the backstrap is an integral oval initial plate bearing the initials “AJS”. The rim of the butt is beaded and has flower blossoms quadra-spaced around the rim. The butt cap is the typical Tiffany rosette with a decorative finial. Accompanied by a series of letters dating from January 1973 through December 1975 from Norm Flayderman, Robert L. White and Frank E. Hendricks attesting to the authenticity of this revolver. Mr. Hendricks, of San Antonio, TX, was, at that time, apparently considered to be an engraving expert and certified without question that the grips are authentic Tiffany manufacture. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. All matching including the wedge. Overall it retains about 95-97% strong silver plating that may be an old restored finish. Gold plating on the rammer & lever, cylinder and hammer is probably a later addition. Grips retain most of their fine silver plating except on the initial oval at the top of the back strap where there is considerable wear and the parent brass is showing through. One of the letters, above, speaks of the rosette in the butt being missing at that time and having been replaced with a piece of bone. That being the case in 1975, an original type rosette was apparently found and returned to its rightful place. Mechanics are fine. Cylinder still has most of five safety pins. Bore is strong but dark with moderate pitting. 4-51222 JR1004 (25,000-35,000)

VERY EARLY FRENCH & INDIAN WAR POWDER HORN. Please note: The design on the horn referred to as “balloons” are most definitely not balloons.

RARE & IMPORTANT CUSTER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM. It is rare for any personal effects of General Custer, or his relatives, to come to market today, which makes this recent discovery a great find. This desirable leather-bound photograph/CDV album with numerous photographs and tintypes comes from the Kendall family. The photographs in the front of the album are primarily of the Richardson/Kendall family, and two of them feature Custer, and one, his wife Libby. Rebecca Richmond and Mary Richmond Kendall were Elizabeth Custer’s cousins and were very close to her. Mary’s husband Charles Kendall, featured in 3 of the photos was from Michigan and served in several Michigan cavalry units during the Civil War, and was a friend of Custer’s. One formal-looking pose features all five of these people, and another from the same sitting in Leavenworth Kansas shows the Kendall couple alone. Another group photo from Lexington KY shows a figure we believe to be Custer with two couples in a studio pose. The sitters all have very serious expressions, although the ladies are wearing hats and checkered scarves. The figure we believe to be Custer has his hair flipped out rather comically, and he appears to have stuffed a pillow into the front of his waistcoat. Custer was very fond of photography, and there are a number of photographs of him in costumes or humorous tableaus, so this photo may be of a similar vein. The very first photo in the album is of a distinguished gentleman with top hat and cane, whose features are not dissimilar to those of the Richmond ladies, possibly their father. There are 8 or so CDV photographs of military men in uniform, one of whom is identified on the reverse in period ink as: “Lieut. Bolza, killed in the battle of “Falling Waters” July 1863”. Another CDV of three young men is identified on the reverse in period ink as: “Thomas Mitchell, Charlie Kendall, John Morin, Grand Rapids 1861”. There are 8 or so unidentified tintypes in the album, as well as a litho of the Lincoln family, and an anti-southern CDV depicting a Southern graveyard with scathing epitaphs on the tombstones. One of the tintypes appears to be one of the Richmond sisters. The consignor originally purchased this album from “Antiques and Art”, with the understanding that it came directly out of the Kendall family. The album is 6-1/2” x 5-1/4” x 2” overall. It is nicely bound in embossed leather, and is embossed in gold on the spine “Album” and “12”. It is fitted with a simple brass clasp. CONDITION: Tears to some photo pockets. The photos are overall in very good condition. The interior cloth spine has split in one place, all pages are present. A rare opportunity to own a Custer-family photograph album with personal photos and nice Civil War flavor. Further research may reveal the identity of the other people in this important album. 4-50249 SO5 (17,000-20,000)

GENERAL G.A. CUSTER’S RACING SADDLE. Small rawhide covered saddle with 9” open seat, built on a light wooden frame with rounded slick fork without horn and has a low cantle. The skirts are minimal to attach belly band leathers at the front and back. There is a small slot on each side for the stirrup leathers. Only the remains of the ends of the belly band leathers are present with a few large headed brass nails. It is accompanied by a large volume of research material regarding the Custer family and Gen. Custer himself. This saddle was given to James P. Strain, of Toledo, Ohio, by Robert (Boston) Kirkpatrick, the son of Gen. Custer’s half brother, David Kirkpatrick. Robert Kirkpatrick had lived on the Strain farm from 1921 until about 1928 when, on a visit to Robert’s brother’s farm in Milan, Michigan, Robert offered James Strain a gift of a small trunk which Mr. Strain states contained several horse related items, clothing & boots which Robert stated had been the property of Gen. Custer. Strain’s father reportedly would not allow him to accept the entire trunk, but permitted him to accept just one item from it. Strain states that he had an interest in horses so chose the saddle. Later, after David Kirkpatrick passed away, the trunk disappeared into the dust of time. Mr. Strain states that the saddle had remained in his possession from about 1928 until the to present. It is a well known fact and well recorded that Gen. Custer was an aficionado of horse racing and owned several race horses. This saddle is pictured as the first illustration after page 192 in General Custer’s Thoroughbreds by Lawrence A. Frost. On the next to the last page of illustrations after page 128 is an actual photograph of “Frogtown”, Gen. Custer’s racing horse. The horse is wearing a saddle very similar to the one being offered in this auction. CONDITION: Fair. Hide covering has shrunk and split along the seam on the right side. Left side is also open but not loose and shows substantial wear along the bottom edges. Right edge has some chips out of the saddle tree wood, the right side also is missing some of its rawhide lace and the rear edge of the cantle has been mouse gnawed. A most unusual and desirable Custer collectible. 4-51594 (10,500-14,500)

HISTORIC HARPERS FERRY MODEL 1803 FLINTLOCK RIFLE, FIRST TYPE. Cal. 54. SN 3912. 1st type Model 1803 with 33” oct to round bbl with brass front sight & fixed rear sight, the bottom of the bbl has an iron rail, with two iron guides containing an original trumpet head iron ramrod. It is mounted in a 1-pc half stock with distinctive brass band near the tip, brass furniture and patchbox on the right side of the butt. The left bbl flat has the usual markings along with the serial number as does the lockplate which is dated “1806”. A 3-ring binder of research material regarding this rifle and its possible history accompanies it. It is known that in 1808 an elite unit of riflemen was formed which was called the 1st Rifle Regiment and it is well documented that they were issued Model 1803 rifles. This unit accounted itself with great distinction during the War of 1812, fighting in a number of battles. The consignor reports that he purchased this rifle on March 9, 1957 from prominent Kentucky rifle collector, Bill Carr of Detroit, MI. Mr. Carr had reportedly obtained the rifle from a Canadian Indian reservation in altered to percussion condition. At the time it also had a bent lower trigger guard and a corresponding gash in the wood. Mr. Carr reconverted it to original flint condition using original parts and then straightened the lower tang. The speculation is that this rifle was lost in action by the U.S. Rifle Regiment during its operations in Canada during the War of 1812. Included is an original Jan. 29, 1815 letter signed by Major William Bradford, U. S. Army, requesting transfer to a command under Gen. Andrew Jackson. He was thereafter assigned to the 1st U. S. Rifle Regt. and led his M1803 armed men on expeditions in the West. CONDITION: As previously noted, good to very good. Bbl retains an even dark brown patina with usual nicks & dings. Lockplate & hammer are a light gray. Straightened trigger guard has a 1/8” nick & scratch at the edge with a corresponding deeper gash in the wood. Stock has numerous grain checks with some replaced splices along the bbl channel and repaired cracks in the forestock. Brass is bright with a light patina. Mechanics are fine, with strong dark bore. 4-51217 JR1228 (5,000-8,000)

At Gettysburg his company was attached to Meade’s Headquarters as Provost Guard and under Meade’s personal order were directed to help repulse Pickett’s Charge. He was wounded three times, at Gaines’ Mill, Fredericksburg and the Wilderness. The Wilderness wound necessitated the amputation of his leg between the ankle and knee.

EXTREMELY RARE SPRINGFIELD OFFICERS MODEL SPORTING RIFLE CONNECTED TO GEN. GEORGE F. DODGE. Cal 50-70. SN 16574. Made on an 1868 trap-door rifle bbled action, this beautiful and rare rifle has a 28” bbl with gold washed Beech’s front sight and the standard 1000 yd ladder rifle sight. It is mounted in a fine walnut half stock with single bbl band and smooth pewter forend cap. The forestock and wrist are nicely checkered in about 20 lines per inch. The left flat has the outline of two oval cartouches and one rectangular one. One of the oval cartouches is “ESA”. The forend tip of the stock, between the bbl band and cap, shows the filled ramrod channel of the original military musket stock. The bbl band and butt have sling eyes. It is fitted with custom DBL set triggers and a beautiful German silver trigger guard with tapered square end tangs. The buttplate is standard issue, US marked, smooth steel, musket style and the lockplate is dated 1863. The top of the wrist is inlaid with a small gold shield bearing the engraved initials “TED”. Removal of the lock and trigger plate disclosed only sub-inspector marks, no assembly numbers. Page 478 of the 8th edition of Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms discloses that he believes there were less than 20 of these rifles ever made, making it one of the most rare of Springfield firearms. These rifles were most likely ordered by military officers for buffalo hunting on the great plains as the 50 caliber was the most effective cartridge for buffalo at that time. Graham Burnside, in an article published in the Nov. 1961 issue of The Shooting Times, refers to this rifle, which at that time was in the collection of Richard Stapleton. Mr. Stapleton lived in Iowa, the state where this rifle first came to light. Burnside speculated that this rifle had been one of the two ordered by Maj. Gen. George F. Dodge in 1870. References in the Springfield Armory records show that Gen. Dodge ordered two of these 50 caliber rifles at a cost of $70.00. It is known that Gen. Dodge resided in Iowa after his retirement. Burnside did not research the Dodge family for a member with the initials “TED”. This rifle was purchased by the consignor directly from the Stapleton family four years ago. There are very few of these known to have survived. A very rare opportunity for the advanced private collector. CONDITION: Bbl retains 93-95% strong bright original blue with scattered light surface spotting. Front sight retains about 80% thinning gold wash. Breech block and lockplate are a medium gray patina. Wood is sound and retains most of its fine original oil finish. Buttplate is a mottled silver brown patina. Bright shiny bore. 4-50353 JR140 (35,000-55,000)

*RARE PROTOTYPE JOHNSON SEMI-AUTO MILITARY RIFLE. Cal. 30-06. SN MR3. Early prototype for the famous Johnson rifle, one of the first three built for Johnson by a company named “Taft-Peirce” of Woonsocket, RI in 1938. These three rifles were numbered MR1 thru MR3 and were made with single column magazines of either five or eight shots. One of the rifles was made to minimum tolerances, another to maximum tolerances and a third to middle of the road tolerances. We do not know which one we have. All three were chambered for 30-06 and marked on top of the receiver “PROOF MODEL” which is exactly how our rifle is marked. This information was obtained from the book Johnson Rifles and Machine Guns by Bruce N. Canfield. This specific rifle is pictured on page 40 of the same book in its original commercial configuration. This rifle is described as having a 20” rnd bbl in a 1-pc walnut stock with pierced metal hand guard, integral with the receiver. It has a winged military-style front sight and the long Johnson 1,000 meter stamped metal rear sight. The wood is very distinctive in its grain patterns and readily identifiable in the picture. It now has a light parkerized finish on the bbl & receiver with blue trigger guard. It is apparent that it was experimented with, as there are several arsenal type repairs and fills to the forestock.

RARE HOGGSON ENGRAVED MARTIALLY MARKED HENRY RIFLE. Cal. 44 RF Henry. SN 2278.

This is an early style Henry with the alternate sight dovetail on top of the receiver and it has the rounded buttplate tang. It also has factory sling swivels with special dark finished wood. The serial number appears on the left side of the lower tang is stamped in the top tang channel of the stock, on the inside of the toe of the buttplate and on all of the screws. The receiver is typically engraved by Samuel J. Hoggson and silver-plated. The top of the receiver is engraved in a ribbon “Gen. G.M. Dodge 7th Regt. Ill.”. The balance of the receiver has Hoggson style engraving, consisting of his usual patterns of foliate arabesque patterns on the sides and sideplates and an elk on the left sideplate. The front flats on both sides have his trademark large blossoms and both sides of the receiver have his rope pattern borders. The engraving patterns have punch-dot background. The presentation was applied at a later date, after the war, when Gen. Dodge attended a GAR meeting where all the attendees were requested to bring their rifles.

Grenville Mellen Dodge, born 12 April 1831, was a graduate civil and military engineer in 1850. He moved to Illinois and was employed building railroads for the Illinois Central and other railroad companies. In 1854 he moved to Council Bluffs, IA and organized a bank, and at the same time organized the Council Bluffs Guards. At the outbreak of the Civil War he went to Washington to obtain equipment for his troop but was turned down, but made an impression on the military who offered him a captaincy, which he declined. He returned to Iowa and was commissioned a colonel and authorized to raise a regiment. He not only raised an infantry regiment but also a company of artillery. He and his troops were immediately enrolled and saw action shortly thereafter in Missouri. He was engaged in almost continuous action with the Army of the Tennessee on the Western front throughout most of the war and rose to the rank of Major General. After the war ended he was assigned to all the Western territories to put down the Indian problems from the Arkansas river in the South to the Yellowstone in the North. He participated in many campaigns until a temporary peace was reached with the Indians. He resigned in 1866 and returned to building railroads and is generally credited with being the “Father of the United States Transcontinental Railroad” and numerous other shorter lines. He also consulted on the building of the Russian transcontinental railroad through Siberia to the Pacific Ocean. Gen. Dodge served a term in Congress and turned down an appointment as Secretary of War by President Grant. There are bronze statues of him in the State of Iowa and in Washington, DC. This rifle was consigned by someone who lives near Council Bluffs, IA where the rifle turned up.

Our rifle additionally has military inspector marks in the usual place on the right bbl flat where it meets the receiver. These marks are “CGC” without periods and an “H” on the frame and bbl. The stock additionally has the outline of a very faint cartouche on the right wrist. What is most unusual is that the engraving was not completed. Two lines of border rope pattern were only half finished. This is explained in research conducted by Guns of History, Inc. wherein it was learned that in June of 1863 an order for 240 Henry rifles was placed for the War Dept. by Col. LaFayette C. Baker. The War Dept. reduced the initial order to 120 pieces. It is recounted that Winchester was unable to immediately fill the order, but immediately shipped 13 boxes of 6 rifles each to the Washington D.C. Arsenal in care of Col. George Ramsey. According to the records these rifles were inspected and were in the 2100 to 2300 serial number range.

These first 78 rifles were taken directly from the production line in whatever form they were being produced, some were plated & engraved. Our rifle is apparently one of those first 78 rifles received by Col. Ramsey. The “CGC” inspector mark, without periods, appears to have been the initials of Charles G. Curtis, who was recorded as inspecting Henry rifles during 1862 thru 1863, so the only Henry rifles he could have inspected was the first shipment of 78 rifles. These first Henrys were initially intended to equip special units that were to be used for protection details for President Lincoln and others, including Gen. Dodge. General J.G. Blunt is quoted as having stated: “if Dodge can have an escort service and a Henry, I can too.” So he formed his own small unit and armed them with Baker Henrys, and selected one for himself with engraving and gold plating, serial number 2378. He thought he had outdone Dodge because Dodge’s Henry was only “Silver Plated”. Accompanied by a 16 page booklet “SHORT SKETCH / of the / SERVICES OF / MAJOR GENERAL GRENVILLE MELLEN DODGE” as reprinted from “A HISTORY OF POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY, IOWA” and a small oilcloth covered book “THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA” by General Dodge.

CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains 15-20% blue, turning plum, mostly in the sheltered areas and in the barrel gullets. Balance is a medium gray patina. Receiver retains about 90% strong original silver plating and has a couple of nicks on the front left. Stock is sound and retains about 75% original varnish with usual light handling and use marks and the buttplate about 30-35% thin silver plating. It has a very dark, worn bore. Mechanics are fine. 4-51516 JR890 (45,000-65,000)

It states that the records of the Army Adjutant Generals office show that this exact rifle was used in Company I, 3rd U.S. Veteran Voluntary Infantry during the Civil war and that it was issued to Pvt. Andrew Weyland about May 13, 1865. It identifies Pvt. Weyland as being born in Bavaria Germany and enlisting at age 33. He served initially with Company A, 2nd Independent Pennsylvania artillery before joining the 3rd Veteran Volunteer Infantry on March 22, 1865 at Philadelphia. He was discharged at Springfield, IL March 21,1866.

Additional information regarding this rifle was also found in the Company and Regimental books of the 3rd U.S. Veterans Volunteer Infantry in the National Archives under record group 94, entry 112. These rifles were issued to the individual solider with the provision that they could retain them without cost upon discharge if they kept them in good order. It is assumed that this rifle was taken home to Philadelphia by Pvt. Weyland. Also accompanying are 5 pages of Pvt. Weyland’s military record. Also included is a copy of page 1718 of Dyer’s Compendium of the War of the Rebellion which is the record of service of the Veteran Volunteers.

WONDERFUL IDENTIFIED PRESENTATION CIVIL WAR USED HENRY RIFLE. Cal. 44 RF Henry. SN 9373. Standard Henry rifle with 24-1/4” oct bbl with integral magazine tube. It has German silver blade front sight with Henry ladder rear sight, walnut stock with factory sling swivels and a faint “Henry Bump” below the stock swivel. It has a brass buttplate with trap. The serial number is present on the left side of the lower tang, stamped inside the top tang channel in the buttstock and inside the toe of the buttplate. The left sideplate is engraved in script “Presented To / Capt. John A. Smith / Co. E. 7th Reg’t. Ill. Inf. / by the / Troops of His Command / for / Outstanding Leadership and Valor”. Accompanied by a ring binder of extensive research including Capt. Smith’s military record and the history of the 7th Illinois.

Company E of the 7th was recruited near Atlanta, IL and mustered into service April 25, 1861. They fought a number of battles & skirmishes throughout the Western command, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi and other states up & down the Mississippi River. It is not known when, but the 7th Illinois purchased their own Henry rifles of a cost of $50.00 each. They re-enlisted as a unit at Pulaski, TN on December 22, 1863, went home on 30 day furlough and were re-assembled on Feb. 18, 1864 and immediately were engaged patrolling the Tennessee River in Kentucky & Alabama. In October 1864 they fought the Battle of Allatoona Pass, Georgia where 1,500 Union soldiers were attacked by 6,000 Confederates under command of Gen. French. In that battle 38 Union soldiers were killed and 67 wounded while the Confederates lost 2,200 killed & wounded. This action was singled out for particular praise by Maj. Gen. W.T. Sherman. The rifle we have here was not the original rifle Capt. Smith purchased along with the rest of his company, but was one presented to him by his troops at a later date in the war. They reportedly purchased the rifle with their own funds, as a group, had it inscribed and presented it to the Captain. Captain Smith was mustered out 7/25/1861 at Nashville, TN, and died 1/15/1917 at Jacksonville, IL. Also accompanies is a copy of a Brady photograph of several NCO’s, members of the 7th Illinois with their colors and Henry rifles.

CONDITION: Good to very good. Traces of original finish remain on the bbl, being mostly a light gray/brown patina. Receiver has slightly worn edges and a ding or two on the top, with light scratches around the screws and retains a medium mustard patina. Stock has replaced chips near the top tang and a missing chip at the rear of the top tang and retains most of a very old refinish. Mechanics are fine. Has a strong bore with fine pitting. A couple of stock screws are replacement. 4-51517 JR889 (25,000-40,000)

Appears that it would take a polish. Nakago has one Megukiana. Nakagojri is single beveled. “Signature reads, “Nagasone Oki Sato Nyudo Kotetsu”. Kotetsu is a very important and rare swordsmith.” – HOWEVER, WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE SIGNATURE AS GENUINE. 2) Wakizashi blade: 17-3/4” long with medium Sori, Chu Kissaki.

Bizen No Kuni Osufune Hichibeinojo Sukysada Saku. The date is very faint, but this smith made most of his swords between 1652 & 1655 in the Shinto period. The sword fittings on Katana and Wakizashi are matching. The Tsubas are round Shakudo with gold floral appliques. One applique is missing on the Katana. Matching Fuchi and Kashiras are Shakudo with gold birds, figures with a bow and arrow. Menukis are Shakudo with gold or brass, which are figures of warriors. The Tsuka displays old Sami with black silk wrapping which has become old and starting to fray and break in places, should be re-wrapped. Saya is ribbed 4” down from the throat. The rest of the Saya is reddish-brown with floral designs. Th Katana Saya is missing the butt cap. Both Sayas are unfortunately split in places. Comes with an old black lacquer sword stand decorated with bugs and butterflies and is in good condition.

RARE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY RIMFIRE REVOLVER. Cal. 22. SN 135481. Extremely rare single action. Only 107 revolvers were ever built in 22 caliber. Ninety of those were built on recycled 44 rim fire frames with the remaining 17 built as original 22 revolvers. This is one of those 17. It has a 7-1/2” bbl, blue & case colored with replacement 1-pc ivory grips. The bbl has 1-line block letter address with a hyphen at the back end and none at the front. It has 2-line patent markings with rampant Colt in a circle. The left side of the bbl is marked “22 R.F.” The periods in the bbl address and caliber marking are square. The cylinder has a beveled front edge and square back edge with a small “G” proof on the backside. The bottom of the bbl, at the frame is marked “22M”. The left side of the grips has four large silver stars and an early style spread winged American eagle with gold shield on its breast. The bbl has a slight, normal, rounded crown with the end through the frame square with a slight chamfered forcing cone. The hammer is a typical rim fire hammer with the firing pin approximately 3/32” wide secured with two pins. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter identifying this revolver as having been shipped to J.C. Rodger, address unavailable on Nov. 15, 1893. CONDITION: Extremely fine as restored. Retaining virtually all of its fine finish, blue and case colors. There are a couple of scratches on the bbl near the cylinder pin, otherwise it is near perfect. Case colors are dark & brilliant and appear nearly authentic, under a coating of shellac. Grips were apparently made for another revolver, as they are a poor fit. Mechanics are fine. Bore is bright & shiny. This apparently was a very fine revolver that had seen little use before it was restored. 4-51220 JR1005 (25,000-40,000)

RARE MARTIALLY MARKED EARLY SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. SN 16293. Very rare Samuel B. Lewis inspected cavalry Colt. Bbl has been slightly reduced to 7-5/16” and the original front sight modified. It has 1-pc walnut grips and is nickel-plated. Bbl has the slanted 1-line address with daggers at each end. There are small “L” proofs on the various parts, and has its original bull’s eye ejector rod head. One of the great rarities in martial single action is a Lewis sub-inspected revolver. He apparently only inspected about 360 pieces in his short tenure. It is reported that as of May 1997 there were only 18 other recorded Lewis inspected single actions known. In a conversation with John Kopec he reported that serial numbers 16291, 16294 and 16295 were all reported as nickeled revolvers. He stated that these were reclaimed militia revolvers that were nickeled and resold when they were in like-new condition. An unproven speculation is that most, if not all, of the Lewis inspected revolvers were issued to the Iowa Militia. Our revolver was discovered in South Dakota where the consignor currently lives. CONDITION: Nickel plated, as noted. All markings appear to be authentic and sharp with all numbers matching including the bbl & cylinder. Grips have a number penciled in the channel, but it is illegible. Bbl apparently was damaged around the muzzle and reduced accordingly. Overall, our revolver retains about 60% strong bright nickel with spots of heavy pitting near the muzzle and on the left side of the bbl and on the sight. Cylinder has nickel in the flutes with the balance gray metal color with light pitting. Grips are very worn and dinged and appear to have been scraped and are missing chips at the toes. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore and a few spots of light pitting. Chambers are lightly pitted. 4-51521 JR728 (7,500-12,500)

The grips are stamped on the inside with a large “US” and the left side of the grip frame, under the grips, has the factory refinish mark of a stamped diamond. Accompanied by a Smith & Wesson letter dated Dec 11, 1998 over the signature of Roy Jinks identifying this revolver as having been shipped July 5, 1918 to the US Government Springfield Armory as a standard revolver. It further states that this revolver was returned to Smith & Wesson somewhere in the mid 1920’s at which time the factory installed the adjustable rear sight and a target front sight. The frame and bbl were milled to accommodate these sights, after which it was refinished and new smooth stocks were installed and stamped “US”. Mr. Jinks states, at that time, that this conversion is exceptionally rare and to that date he had only ever seen 3 such conversions during the 40 years he had been researching Smith & Wesson revolvers. Page 217 of the book “SMITH & WESSON 1857-1945 REVISED EDITION” by Jinks & Neal refers to this model and states “It is reported that a few of this model were fitted with target sights for the US Army”.

LARGE LOT OF HISTORICAL WYOMING COWBOY & LAW ENFORCEMENT ITEMS THAT BELONGED TO HAPPY JACK ALLEN. This lot consists of an engraved single action army Colt, Allen’s original Casper, WY made belt & holster rig, an original pair of Schnitger silver decorated spurs, three of Allen’s police badges, two peace officer association meeting ribbons, Allen’s early Lower’s Patent handcuffs and Allen’s Clabrough & Bros. dbl barrel hammer shotgun.

All of these items were the property of and used by Robert John “Happy Jack” Allen. Mr. Allen was born in 1876 in Brooklyn, NY, orphaned in 1880, lived with his grandparents until their death in 1890. At the age of 14, in 1890, he arrived in Cheyenne, WY and took a job at the Arbuckle Ranch on Pole Creek, outside of Cheyenne. In 1892 he was hired by U.S. Senator J.M. Carey’s CY Cattle Ranch outside of Casper. This was the ranch used as a staging area when the cattlemen of the area employed about 40 hired guns to drive out the outlaws and rustlers, which is now known as the Johnson County War. In 1897 Allen and his fellow CY cowboys raided the famous “Hole in the Wall” to retrieve stolen cattle and had a shootout with the gang residing there, killing one and wounding and capturing another. Also in 1897 Allen was a bronc rider in the very first Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. In 1898 Allen enlisted in Torrey’s Rough Riders and became a Sargent in Troop K. They were eventually drafted into the regular Army and became the 2nd U.S. Volunteer Cavalry and rode with Theodore Roosevelt up San Juan Hill during the Spanish American War. After the War, Allen returned to the CY Ranch where he remained for another 1-1/2 years. In 1903 he was hired as a deputy sheriff of Natrona County, WY.

Accompanying this lot is Allen’s original Deputy Sheriff’s badge. In 1905 Allen was persuaded to join Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show as a member of the Congress of Rough Riders and toured Europe with the show for two years. When he returned to the U.S. he moved to Coatesville, PA and became a detective for the Coatesville Police Dept. and Chief of Police for the Worth Steel Corp. where he served until 1917, when he re-entered the Army and served in the Intelligence Corps. In 1921 he returned to Wyoming and was appointed a State Agent of Law Enforcement. In 1923 he was appointed Deputy U.S. Marshall for Wyoming and in 1929 was appointed as Commissioner of Law Enforcement for the State of Wyoming (Today’s Chief of State Police). Accompanying this lot is Allen’s original Commissioner of Law Enforcement badge. In 1932, he was appointed U.S. Marshall for Wyoming by President Herbert Hoover. Also accompanying this lot is Allen’s original appointment certificate. In 1934 he was elected Sheriff of Natrona County, WY. Accompanying this lot is Allen’s sheriff’s badge with number “1”. Allen was re-elected Sheriff several times and died in 1942 in Casper, WY. Also accompanying this lot are two Wyoming Peace Officer’s Association Meeting pins from 1941 and 1942. Also accompanies is a rare and original pair of Schnitger silver decorated spurs, custom made for Allen. Each spur has a 2-1/4” 32-point round rowel with 8 holes. Each spur has nicely carved 2-pc leather straps. Each spur has full silver overlay on the left side with two large domed buttons. The silver plate has light engraving and the buttons were also engraved in star pattern but are now worn smooth. Both sides of the shank and chap guard along with the rowel pin button are inlaid with decorated silver. The inside of the bow shank & chap guard are identically inlaid with silver without the large buttons. The strap buttons are covered with silver, engraved with a large “A”. Additionally is a rare pair of “Lower” marked iron handcuffs with their original key.

An important part of this collection is a single action Colt revolver, 4-3/4” bbl, caliber 45, serial number 92242. It has about 60% coverage, fine New York style foliate & floral arabesque pattern engraving with punch dot background. It has 2-pc pearl grips with a very deep carved steer head on the right grip. Accompanying the Colt is a factory letter identifying this revolver as having been shipped May 9, 1883 in a shipment of 10 such revolvers to Hartley & Graham, NY, NY. The letter indicates that the finish was “soft”. This indicates that it was not factory finished but was shipped for engraving & finishing outside the factory. This engraving has all the earmarks of Nimschke or his shop. Also accompanying the Colt is a letter dated 23 April 1998 from Jack Allen, the grandson of Happy Jack Allen, who states that in approximately 1903 his grandfather acquired this revolver and that it was his personal sidearm throughout his law enforcement career and remained in his possession until his death in 1942 when it was passed on down the family. Also included is a well-made and decorated period belt & holster set. The holster is a 2-loop style with tooled edges and a home buck-stitched open edge. The center of the top is stamped “OSCAR HIESTAND / MAKER / CASPER, WYO.” The belt is a folded soft leather money belt with nicely press-decorated edges with 41 cartridge loops. And lastly is Allen’s J.P. Clabrough & Bros. damascus bbl hammer shotgun. It is a side lever model with the bbls cut to 20”. It has had heavy use with severe damage to the forearm & wrist with clever old repairs using copper plates & strips. Additionally accompanying are two large framed photos of performers in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. One photo dated 1905 with a plaque stating “Budapest, Hungary 1905 / Happy Jack Allen Fourth from Right”. The other shows a large group of mounted cowboys & cowgirls in a semi-circle and is dated “1906”.

CONDITION: Three badges are all fine with the Commissioner of Law Enforcement badge showing light wear with some brass showing through the nickel, the other two are fine. Spurs and straps are very worn but sound and intact. Handcuffs are a smooth gray patina with some light surface spotting. Holster is very dry & fragile with a break near the top loop. Belt is also dry with the loops having been re-laced with rawhide and the billets moved as the owner expanded. Shotgun is very worn with breaks in the forearm & wrist and a small splice in the wrist with copper plate repairs. Mechanics are fine with pitted shiny bores. Colt retains most of a fine restored finish with some scattered light pitting. Exceptional grips have two or three small hairlines and a tiny chip at the heel and receiver on the left side but are brilliant with lots of fire and color, a truly exceptional pair of grips. Mechanics need attention as it will not hold on any of the hammer notches. Strong bright bore with fine pitting. Photographs are hand colored and in fine condition. 4-51586 JR1018 (27,500-37,500)

WATERCOLOR OF SIOUX INDIAN BY GUSTAVE GARRETT (1882-1951). This portrait watercolor of a Sioux Indian depicts a brave with fur cap and three eagle feathers. The brave dressed in a blue shirt with a red bandanna. Titled in the upper left “Sioux Tribe” and then signed in the lower right “G. Garrett” with a circle beneath it and a dot and dated 1903. According to documentation accompanying the watercolor, this was the only student of noted Western artist, Henry Francois Farny. An old newspaper clipping from the Cincinnati Times/Star dated May 16, 1956 depicts a Mrs. Kaiser holding a watercolor of an Indian chief from a Sioux tribe captioned “. . . Painted by the well known Indian painter, Gustave H. Garrett, a pupil of Farny . . .”. The attached paperwork includes the image of Garret together with some information about him. The documentation indicates that Garrett and Farny went to South Dakota in the early 1900’s, and spent a few years there studying painting and sketching Indians, later returning to Cincinnati. Indeed this specific image appears to be of an Indian brave that Farny also painted. His depiction, however, significantly differently, appears to be quite certainly the same Indian. This is framed in a large antique gesso gold frame. SIZE: 9-1/2” high x 7-1/2” wide, size of image only. CONDITION: Watercolor appears to be in fine condition. 4-51353 (6,000-8,000)

INDIAN USED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 LEVER ACTION CARBINE. Cal 44RF Henry. SN 124375. Accordding to “Firearms in the Custere Battle” by Parsons and Dumont, this # was supposedly turned in by Sitting Bull. This standard carbine has had the bbl reduced to 18-1/2”, has integral front band/sight and a forearm band. The last four digits of the serial number are stamped in the top tang channel of the stock and inside the toe of the buttplate. The right side of the forearm and both sides of the buttplate have rows of iron tacks. There are seven 5/16” tacks on the forearm and fifteen 1/4” tacks at the buttplate. There is evidence that there may have been four more tacks on the left side of the butt that are now missing. One of the tacks was driven into the trap recess and appears to have a round shank. It has uncheckered wood with straight stock and brass carbine buttplate with trap. It is accompanied by True West Magazine of June 1964, which on page 51 states that the famous Sioux medicine man, Sitting Bull, had surrendered serial number 124375, to Major Brotherton at Fort Buford, July 19, 1881 and that it was currently in the Major Brotherton collection at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC? That gun, in fact, carries serial number 124335. Included is a copy of Firearms in the Custer Battle by Parsons & DuMont wherein it is stated that when Sitting Bull with 187 other Indians surrendered July 21, 1881 at Fort Buford in the Dakota territory, their guns and horses were confiscated by Major Brotherton. “One of the pieces, a tack-studded Winchester carbine Model 1866, serial 124375, which left the factory in 1875, is believed to have been turned in by Sitting Bull himself”. CONDITION: About good. Iron retains a mottled silver brown patina. Bbl lettering is clear and the receiver shows substantial wear with minor nicks and scratches. Stock and forearm are much battered and worn with a couple of cracks in the buttstock and a chip missing from the forearm. Bottom of the forearm shows a substantial area of saddle bow wear and overall is a dark oiled patina. Mechanics are fine with a strong bore and scattered light pitting. 4-50271 JR193 (4,000-10,000)

PARKER FIELD INDIAN TRADE MUSKET. Cal about 60. Exceptional Hudson Bay trade musket with 36” oct to rnd bbl, elliptical iron front sight, no provision for a rear sight, with usual proofs on the left bbl flat along with the number 24.

It is mounted in a one-piece light colored walnut stock with raised teardrop side panels and a raised teardrop panel around the top tang.

The right side of the buttstock, near the buttplate, has a small round stamp of a standing fox with the initials “HHB Co” over the top and another initial that appears to be a “B” below. This is probably the finest example of this mark on a buttstock in existence and certainly the finest this cataloguer has ever seen.
