BELKNAP” in a tiny circle with a small eagle on either side and 13 stars in an arch above these marks on the lockplate. John Belknap worked in St. Johnsbury, Vermont from 1879 to 1887. Note the fine quality workmanship with the raised rim around the extended lockplate and the fine German silver inlays in the stock. The bullet starter is made from a piece of turned bone with a German silver ring to fit the muzzle. The latter is scratched with the initials LHJ, probably an early owner. The starter rod appears to be walnut but is stained dark. The 7 x 12 x 6″ leather box has been converted to hold tools for this rifle. The tools include a bullet mold, a 2-pc swage, a combination nipple wrench/screwdriver from a Civil War gun, 3 tins of caps, 2 boxes of bullets and a powderhorn.

The buttstock has straight grip with crescent buttplate with faceted tang and a long toeplate. It is a removable butt stock by means of a small trap in the buttplate which exposes a square key shank which, when unscrewed, allows the stock to be removed.

These are, in fact, the striker and bolt. The striker can be operated at any time, but for the bolt to be withdrawn, the lever must be open then the bolt move to the rear, which extracts the spent case and allows reloading. The bolt is then manually moved forward, the lever closed and then fired in the normal manner.

HOLDEN PATENT, SEPT. 1ST. 1862” engraved on the left side and has a 2-1/2” x 1/4” long ebony inlay. The receiver, lever and buttplate are silver-plated.

RARE AND UNUSUAL BREECH LOADING RIFLE. Cal. 32 RF. SN 191. Unique little rifle, was built on a Holden open side rifle frame. This rifle has 23-7/8” oct bbl with five lands and grooves conventional rifling with left hand twist. It has a Lyman combination front sight and a 2-position ladder rear sight typical of Holden.

The top rear section of the receiver is mounted with a unique tang sight built of iron and horn. The hammer has an offset ear to accommodate this sight. The unique action functions when the hammer is at half cock and the iron and horn bolt on the right side is pulled to the rear. This causes the nickel-plated brass breechblock to pivot to the left exposing the chamber, reminiscent of a Martini breechloader laid on its side. If the bolt is pulled further to the rear it actuates the extractor. The lever holding the trigger has been permanently screwed to the bottom of the frame. The original barrel takedown pin has been replaced by two screws and the original hole plugged. The bottom of the receiver has two holes for which there does not appear to be a purpose. Accompanied by a copy of a brief biography of C.B. Holden. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains 93-95% strong original blue turning plum in some areas with light edge wears. Receiver retains 25-30% original blue with the balance dark patina. Wood is sound with numerous small nicks and scratches and a few bruises on the butt stock and retains most of its original varnish.

DIXON AGENT / NEW YORK / PATENTED 1849” at the rear. Lewis Jennings patented this rifle on Christmas day 1849, patent number 6973. It employed a sliding trigger with a rack, which turned a pinion operating on another rack on the bottom of the breechblock. This was thought to be simpler than the original Jennings lever action mechanism, but was not much more successful and only a few were made. The engraving on the frame, bbl, triggerguard and buttplate is very light scrolls. The number 1562 on the right side of the buttstock is the U.S. Cartridge Company collection number. Unlike the first model, the second model is only a single shot with the “magazine tube” occupied by a cleaning rod. CONDITION: Excellent. 98% brown on the bbl and ramrod holder, strong blue on the triggerguard and traces mixed with light surface rust elsewhere. Stock retains most of its original varnish.

JENNINGS CONVERTED SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. CAL. 54. 26” rnd bbl. Standard Dixon and Robbins & Lawrence markings on the left side of the engraved receiver.

The ring trigger has been reworked to a standard type and the triggerguard bent to prevent too much movement. CONDITION: Smooth brown patina overall with hints of original finish and light surface rust. Stock shows normal handling marks. Action is fine. 4-52669 FS136 (4,000-6,500)

JENNINGS FIRST MODEL SPORTING RIFLE. CAL. 54. SN: 91. 26” rnd bbl. The marks on the left side of the receiver have been partially removed but were the standard markings.

Some battering on the front of the receiver on the right side and the solder of the magazine tube in that area has partially broken loose. Wood has normal dents and scratches. Action is fine. 4-52672 FS180 (5,000-8,000)

JENNINGS FIRST MODEL RIFLE. Cal. 54. SN 27. 26” rnd bbl, missing the entire lock and operating mechanism. Only the left part of the frame, bbl, and magazine tube remain.

EXTREMELY RARE BAILEY BREECH LOADING RIFLE. Cal. 41. 21” hexagonal brass bbl. The action is lightly engraved. Bailey, Ripley & Smith patent No. 1084 was issued to Lebbeus Bailey of Portland, Maine, John B. Ripley of Claremont, and William B. Smith of Cornish, N.H. Their patent was for an “Improved Water-Proof Rifle” and covered not only the action but the steel cartridges, magazine tube, and priming mechanism associated with it. A specimen cartridge accompanies the gun. It is slightly too small, but shows all of the features of the patent. A copy of the patent also accompanies the gun. CONDITION: Traces of blue on the action. Bbl has been sanded to remove corrosion. Stock appears to have most of its original varnish but has cracks along the magazine tube. 4-52708 FS125 (5,000-8,000)

EXTREMELY RARE BAILEY BREECH LOADING RIFLE. Cal. 50. 27-5/8” octagonal bbl. The top of the bbl is marked “J.B. RIPLEY & CO. CLAREMONT N.H. / PATENT FEB. 20, 1839.” On the upper left flap “REBARRELED NOV. 1943 BY / WALTER L. MAC GREGOR”. The action is lightly engraved. Bailey, Ripley & Smith patent No. 1084 was issued to Lebbeus Bailey of Portland, Maine, John B. Ripley of Claremont, and William B. Smith of Cornish, N.H. Their patent was for an “Improved Water-Proof Rifle” and covered not only the action but also the steel cartridges, magazine tube, and priming mechanism associated with it. The idea was evidently not successful as only two are known. It was restored by Eldon as when he found it the bbl was rusted almost entirely through. A specimen cartridge accompanies the gun. It is slightly too small, but shows all of the features of the patent. CONDITION: Light to moderate spots of pitting on the action. Stock has been repaired along the magazine track, lightly sanded and refinished with the properly aged finish on the bbl.
