PAIR OF INTERESTING MID-19th CENTURY ANTIQUE BOWIES.

1) Rosewood handle 14-1/2″ overall with 9-1/2″ slightly curved, spear-point blade reminiscent of knives thought to be made in New Orleans by Cook & Brother with same style scabbard, but this interesting variation has a dished U-shaped pommel for resting a rifle. I have only seen a couple of this variant and the associated scabbard appears the correct type and orig to this knife though leather is weak and drag is missing as is belt loop. 2) Interesting probable mid-19th century, thin-bladed Bowie knife measuring 14-1/2″ overall with 10″ blade only 1.5mm thick, much like trade knifes circa 1840-1870. But handle is most unusual being heavy brass bolster and pommel with no crossguard and well patinaed ivory slab grips. No doubt grips are certifiable as antique and orig to this knife. Accompanied by a brown leather scabbard with brass pin-punched mounted on throat & drag with a 5-pointed star punched in as decoration. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of Phil A. Bleakney, Jr. Special Note: This item contains or is made of ivory. Do not bid on this lot unless you have read and agreed to our "Ivory Position Statement" and the "Waiver of Legal and Financial Risk to James D. Julia in regards to your Purchase of an Ivory Object." This information is located in the front section of our catalog. CONDITION: 1) Good to very good overall. Blade has old cleaning and pinprick pitting. Leather body missing most of its orig finish, is flaking, and unsewn at seam over most of it length. Missing tip, belt loop & top pin of throat. 2) Very good overall. Blade is gray with old sharpening, areas of staining & light pitting. Ivory slabs are certifiable as antique, well-fit with age cracks and numerous small areas of cracking consistent with antique marine and proboscine sources. Scabbard appears to be of newer contemporary construction and is very good overall. 49059-206, 49059-215, JS IVORY (1,500-2,500) – Lot 1166

CASED SET OF FIFTEEN CUTAWAY FUSES REPORTEDLY INVENTED OR REDESIGNED BY REAR ADMIRAL RALPH EARLE.

Fine WWI period mahogany case 17-1/2″ long x 11-5/8″ wide and 6-5/8″ tall, top of the lid has a 3-1/8″ x 1-3/4″ beveled edge rectangular brass plaque engraved “RALPH EARLE / REAR ADMIRAL U.S.N.” Lid has beveled edges and the front has a mortised brass block with an empty drawer below which contains a functioning key. Interior is green velvet lined and French fitted for 15 various artillery type fuses. All are inert and completely cutaway to expose the internal working parts. Most are labeled on their underneath side. The majority are from Naval Ordnance with a few labeled for Army Ordnance. The drawer is also lined in green velvet and has a brass finger pull in the front. Rear Admiral Earle was born May 1874, in Worcester, MA, and attended public schools until 1892 when he entered Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In August 1892, his lifelong dream of becoming a Naval Officer came to fruition when he became a Naval Cadet at Annapolis, he graduated in May 1896 and served through the Spanish American war receiving several honors and awards for valor. In 1914 Mr. Earle was the commander of the Dolphin at the occupation of Vera Cruz in which his ship played a significant role. The Dolphin also figured in the “Tampico Incident”. Just prior to the onset of WWI, Earle became the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy, the youngest officer to ever hold that position. During the war Rear Admiral Earle conceived the idea of using spare Naval fourteen-inch guns as long range guns on the Western front. He designed the mounts for railroad cars to carry and fire these guns which were used in the latter months of the war. After the war Rear Admiral Earle returned to the sea as Commander of the Battleship Connecticut. It seems likely that it was during Mr. Earle’s stint as Chief of Naval Ordnance that he had a hand in designing these fuses. Upon retiring in 1925 Rear Admiral Earle became the President of Worcester Polytechnic Institute a position which he held until his death in 1939. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine, case is sound with some light staining on the lid and overall retains most of its orig varnish. Interior is strong and bright inside the lid, moderately faded around the fuses and bright and strong in the drawer. This is an extremely interesting set that deserves more research for possible donation to Annapolis or the Aberdeen Proving Ground Museum in MD. 49433-170 JR (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1247

*EXTREMELY RARE DOCUMENTED COLT MODEL 1907 US ARMY TEST PISTOL.

SN 185. Cal. .45 ACP. 5″ bbl, blue finish, checkered walnut grips. This is one of 205 of this model manufactured for field trials by the U.S. Army in 1908. The left front trigger guard bow bears the initials “K.M.” which is the inspection mark of Maj. Kenneth Morton. This mark identifies the test pistols. The pistols were delivered to the Springfield Armory on March 17, 1908. On March 20th, 1908 the pistols were issued to the following units and organizations; 65 to Troop K, 10th Cavalry, Fort William McKinley, Philippines Division, 65 to Troop H, 4th Cavalry, Fort Snelling, Minnesota, 65 to Troop H, 2nd Cavalry, Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and 5 to the School Musketry, Presidio of Monterey, CA. These pistols were subjected to severe field testing and were modified in 1909 as a result of these tests. The modifications were to the ejection port and to the hammer. Pistol #185 shows these modifications. Pistol shows standard markings on either side of the slide with no apparent proof marks. Slide has loaded chamber indicator on upper left side. The frame shows a clearly struck SN #185 on the left side above the trigger bow which shows “K.M.” inspector mark. No other inspector marks are apparent. Bottom of grip frame has a lanyard loop attached on left side. Rear of frame mounts a grip safety devise patented by Ehbets & Tansley. Features of both patents, one a sear block and the other a firing pin withdrawal mechanism, were incorporated into the final product. The magazine is unique to this model with a spring catch at the rear. Checkered walnut grips are deeply carved “HXH” on the inside. The SN of this pistol is documented on pg 83 of U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1892 – 1920 by Edward Scott Meadows, as a surviving example of the model 1907 pistol. PROVENANCE: Recorded in Meadows book pg 83. CONDITION: Very good for this model. Slide shows an even gray/brown patina overall with evidence of cleaning, marking on left side of slide is visible but is worn on the bottom half, some light pitting is present on the upper left side of slide. Standard marking on right side of slide is only barely visible as a result of heavy cleaning. Sights show high point wear. Bbl retains 80% blue finish with a dark bore that shows strong rifling. Frame shows an even plum/brown patina overall with handling marks and scratches overall. All markings are clearly struck. Trigger retains 20% fire blue in protected areas. Hammer is a gray/brown patina. Grip safety shows fire blue in protected areas. Magazine is an even gray/brown patina with scratches and abrasions consistent with its use. Grips are good with numerous small mars and dents overall commensurate with the testing that the pistol was subjected to. “HXH” is deeply carved on the inside of each grip, could possibly be a company “H” connection as these pistols were issued to 2 “H” companies. SN #185 is one of only 66 of the documented surviving examples of the model 1907 pistol and would be a wonderful addition to any collection of early Colt Automatics. 49616-9 TEP C&R (10,000-15,000) – Lot 1275

SN 84SFD0512. Cal. 10 mm. 4-1/2″ bbl. The BREN TEN produced only between 1983-1986 is considered by firearms enthusiasts to be one of the strongest and most desirable of the 10 MM semi-auto pistols. This model was popularized by its use in the TV series “Miami Vice” as the preferred handgun of character Sonny Crockett. This “Special Forces” dark slide model includes one 10-rnd 10 mm magazine and includes a cardboard shipping box with hand written gun SN applied. This pistol features a push button safety mounted on the slide beneath the cocking serrations for easy and quick access, as well as a thumb safety on the right side of the slide in this case, which can be changed over to the left side for left handed firers. Marked on right side of frame with Dornaus & Dixon ENT., Inc., address and on left of slide BREN TEN SPECIAL FORCES, this specimen was manufactured about a 1/3 of the way through the run of about 1,500 pistols. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance very good to near excellent. Matte non-reflective blue finish with bright bbl, hammer and trigger. There is some loss of finish on the slide where it contacts with frame rails upon recoil and upon extreme close inspection, the slightest of handling marks on the forward edge of the trigger guard. Hard black composite grips near excellent. This pistol has been fired. The bore is excellent, shiny and bright. This is a great opportunity to acquire a top quality pistol with superior stopping power. 49616-2 JWK28 (2,000-2,500) – Lot 1309
