FULL STOCK INCISED CARVED FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY ATTRIBUTED TO JACOB OR JOHN HAEFFER. CAL. 46. Wonderful old Flintlock Kentucky with 45-1/4″ oct. bbl, brass front sight and fixed rear sight. The wood is beautiful tiger stripe maple with incise carving, grooved on the fore stock, light carving near the carry point and floral with daisies carved below the small cheek piece on the left side, on the right wrist and behind the top tang. The buttstock has a double incise line down the sides of the bottom edge. The top flat of the bbl is marked “I. H.” and resembles the signature of Haeffer as pictured on page 103 of “THOUGHTS ON THE KENTUCKY RIFLE IN ITS GOLDEN AGE” by Joe Kindig, Jr. This beautiful rifle has raised teardrop side panels with a brass sideplate similar to picture #26 on page 106 of the same book. The 4-pc brass patch box is nearly identical to those in pictures #26 & #27 on pages 106 & 107 of the same book. Both are attributed to J. Haeffer. Jacob & John Haeffer worked in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and are listed in court records of 1774 with records indicating they probably worked as gunsmiths during the Revolutionary War and that John Haeffer in 1805 had a contract for 500 muskets. Jacob Haeffer, apparently, frequently signed his rifles with a stamped Indian head between the initials. This rifle does not bear the Indian head stamp and therefore is most likely the work of John Haeffer. The bbl is secured with three wedges from the left side and the cheek piece has an eight-point, silver star inlay. The furniture is all brass with two faceted guides and nose pipe. The trigger guard is undecorated as is the smooth brass butt plate with wide faceted top tang. The lock is unmarked but appears orig. to this rifle. CONDITION: Good to very good. The bbl, lock and hammer retain a very dark brown patina with some very old wrench marks on the bbl and moderate to heavy pitting around the flash hole and the lock plate. There is moderate burn-out behind the pan. The stock, with its beautiful tight tiger striping, has a repaired fracture on the bottom and in front of the lock. It also has a replaced piece of wood on the right side of the top tang. There are gaps at the back of the top tang and around the lock plate, apparently from prying out these pieces. There are repaired cracks around the front wedge on both sides. This is a very fine early Kentucky attributed to a fine maker that further research is needed. 4-45387 JL271 (3,000-5,000)

The lot consists of two large sections of preserved cloth, one a homespun butternut colored wool and the other a from a linen shirt. There are pieces of shoes, leather belts, a cap box, bayonet scabbard, belt with Confederate brass “wishbone” tongue frame buckle, various buttons, a lead canteen spout and other interesting relics. Included are the relics of a pair of brogans with X-ray film showing the possible inclusion of human bone inside. An extremely rare collection from a burial trench near one of the hardest fought sections of a great American Civil War battlefield. CONDITION: All pieces are excavated and show heavy corrosion and deterioration. The cloth is a remarkable survivor!! With a little cleaning and preservative treatment, these wonderful relics would make an historic and impressive exhibit. The Confederate cloth, leather and frame buckle are worth bidding on it alone. 4-45264 CW (3,500-5,000)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

INSCRIBED AMERICAN U.S. MODEL 1851 NAVAL OFFICER’S SWORD. Regulation U.S. Model 1851 Naval Officer’s Sword with a presentation on the blade which is extremely difficult to read. The single edged blade, slightly curved is unsigned and very dark from rust and age. A central panel on one face is etched with a presentation which reads (deciphered to the best of my ability) Presented by _____ brothers (Masonic Symbol)/Boston Jan’y ___ 1865 to/ ___GHLAND, U.S.N. The hilt is of standard form, cast brass with “U.S.N.” in the counter guard and dolphin head quillon and knuckle bow. Pommel with standing eagle and stars inset in the cap and laurel leaf decoration. The grip is of sharkskin with twisted wire wrap. The scabbard is a reproduction replacement of steel and brass. CONDITION: Fair, the blade is heavily rusted, the etched decoration barely visible. The hilt is somewhat loose and the grip severely worn but wire is tight. The scabbard is a reproduction. I believe that the inscription can be pulled out the darkness of the blade by someone very carefully working with fine steel wool. I, however, will leave that task to the buyer. 4-45095 CW (500-900)

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

METAL TARGET INDIAN SHOT BY AD TOPPERWEIN. During the earlier part of the 20th Century, Ad Topperwein and his wife traveled throughout the United States representing the Winchester Firearms firm. During this time they performed on hundreds, maybe even thousands of occasions demonstrating their personal skills as marksmen and also the quality of Winchester’s weapons and bullets. On some such occasions Topperwein would shoot a target with a 22 rifle and create a picture, such as this one. This large framed target inscribed by Topperwein “SHOT BY AD TOPPERWEIN WITH 22 WINCHESTER RIFLE JULY 30-31”. This is the finest we’ve seen to date. The inscription is bold and still intact.
