IMPORTANT AND OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1863 POCKET NAVY REVOLVER TO “L.T. PEARSON ESQ.”. SN 16619 / E. Cal. .36, 4-1/2″ oct. bbl. Beautifully engraved and with extremely rare carved and checkered walnut grips. Cased in a standard American case containing an eagle and shield flask, bullet mold, screwdriver/nipple wrench and a paper box of caps. Engraved on the backstrap “PRESENTED TO L.T. PEARSON ESQ./BY COLT’S PAT. F.A. MFG. CO. 17TH JULY 1868.” The running vine scroll engraving covers the entire frame, bbl lug, loading lever lug, hammer, backstrap and underside of the trigger guard. The burl walnut grips are border carved with checkered insert. Mr. L.T. Pearson was a Colt company official in the 1860’s, apparently retiring on July 13th, 1868 when he was presented this pistol, as listed in the entry dated July 17, 1868 of the firm’s Journal B. It is not exactly clear what Mr. Pearson’s exact position was, but all of the references in the Colt Company Journals refer to him in conjunction with production reports. He was probably the company Treasurer, as his annual salary was exceeded only by seven other officers of the company. Both the internal company presentation by Colt and any carved and checkered grips make this a unique and exceedingly rare Colt. Formerly in the William M. Locke Collection, it is pictured as Plate 103 in the book “SAMUEL COLT PRESENTS” by R.L. Wilson. It is also to appear in the upcoming book “COLT PRESENTATIONS 1856-1869” by Herbert G. Houze. Also accompanying this Colt are several letters and copied of Colt records identifying this gun and Mr. Pearson. CONDITION: The gun appears unfired and retains 85% of its original bright blue, slightly thin on the cylinder. Screws retain most of their bright fire blue. 100% of the cylinder scene remains as do all of the cylinder pins. Light case hardening colors on the left side of the frame, hammer and loading lever, brighter on the right. 85% silver plating remaining on the backstrap and trigger guard. The burled walnut grips retain almost all of their original varnish with only a few light marks from rubbing in the case. The flask, mold, nipple wrench and cap box are all in excellent, probably unused condition. The case has a partial crack in the lid and two in the bottom, none serious. The interior dark green lining is excellent. Truly a magnificent gun. 4-46447 FS271 (50,000-100,000)

The initials “W.B” are stamped on the trigger guard below the serial number, possibly the engraver. The cylinder scene has the “Engraved” line under the serial number. The American case is lined with red velvet and contains a slant charger, “COLT PATENT” flask, bullet mold, screw driver/nipple wrench, packet of cartridges, Eley cap tin, and key. CONDITION: Excellent with 90% bright blue on the bbl, 75% on the cylinder with sharp cylinder scene.

Only forty of the Model 1855 carbines were made with an 18″ bbl and only ten were built in .40 cal. making this one of the rarest Colts ever made. 1st Model features include a smooth round cylinder and the oiler on the left side of the frame. The wood full-length forearm has heretofore only been found on 2nd Models. The bbl is marked with “COLT’S PT. / 1856” in one set of brackets and “ADDRESS COL. COLT / HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.” inside a second set of brackets. A folding rear sight is milled into the top of the frame. The 2-pc cleaning rod is half under the bbl and half under a trap in the buttplate.

The cylinder scene consists of the SN between two etched lines with “COLT’S PATENT” above and “SPORTING RIFLE” below as well as a forest scene of two deer running from a man pointing a gun. A letter from R. L. Wilson points out all of the features of this gun and assesses their rarity. CONDITION: Blue-brown patina on the bbl, 20% blue on the frame, mostly smooth gray patina.

IMPORTANT AND EXTREMELY RARE WHITWORTH CONFEDERATE SNIPER RIFLE. SN C529. Cal. .450 Whitworth Hexagonal, 32-13/16″ bbl. Marked “WHITWORTH RIFLE Co MANCHESTER” on the lockplate with Birmingham proof marks and the serial number C529 on the upper left quadrant of the bbl. The trigger guard is marked “2nd QUALITY” behind the trigger. The initials “JSW” are neatly carved into the bottom of the stock in front of the trigger guard. The brass tube Davidson telescope was adjusted for elevation by turning the knurled knob on the right side of the forearm. This loosened the clamp on the left side so the 1-1/2″ bar graduated in 1/16 inch increments, with numbers from 0 to 4, could be raised and lowered, pivoting on the rear mount secured by the rear lockplate screw. The normal bbl sights could be used for normal short range shooting. There is extensive documentation on the acquisition of this rifle in Georgia along with correspondence regarding the use of these guns during the Civil War. This gun was originally found with the telescopic sight missing, which was later located and put back on the rifle. From the known Confederate ordnance documents only 250 of these rifles were purchased by the Confederate Government and only twenty or thirty were run through the blockade to the Confederacy in 1862. A recent letter from noted Whitworth Authorities Dr. D. W. Bailey & W. S. Curtis who will soon be publishing an authoritative book on the Whitworth rifles include the following comments regarding this specific gun. “The telescope mounted Whitworth ‘2nd Quality’ no. C529 Rifle described here conforms to the specification of all the other known surviving examples of the Confederate Purchase Special Arms. Specifically, it is in the correct serial number range, the simple form of the iron sights, two bbl bands, lack of a safety bolt, common breech rather than patent breech, very short muzzle projection beyond the forend cap (note that the bbl appears to have lost 3/16″ at the muzzle, it should be 33″ exactly), the method of mounting the telescope the form of the chequering and everything else about it confirm this. The total number shipped in this telescopic configuration is not known but only 8 have been traced up to this moment.” One identical to this gun, is pictured in Firearms of the Confederacy, plate XXIII and discussed on pages 27 and 28. An extremely rare and authentic Confederate snipers rifle in “out -of-the-attic” condition. This rifle will be featured in two books currently in progress, as noted in the attached document. CONDITION: Rust brown patina overall with moderate to heavy pitting at the breach. The wood is worn and has minor dents and gouges along with flaws mentioned above. The very rare Davidson scope has traces of the black finish on the brass tube and more of it on the eyepiece. There is a small chip in the rear lens of the telescope causing an occlusion in the viewing field. This does not affect the overall view of the scope or crosshairs and is easily fixed. This is an extraordinarily rare Confederate used sniper rifle that probably represents a once in a lifetime to acquire such an example. 4-46770 (10,000-20,000)

FINE & RARE WHITWORTH SHARPSHOOTER’S RIFLE. SN C777. Cal. .450 Whitworth hexagonal. 36″ round bbl with Rigby flats at the rear, marked “WHITWORTH PATENT” on top of the bbl. “WHITWORTH / RIFLE CO /PATENT” on the side of the rear sight base. “WHITWORTH RIFLE CO. MANCHESTER” on the lock. The lock, trigger guard and bbl tang, are engraved with light scrolls. The straight English walnut stock is checkered up the wrist on the forearm. This rifle has both military and civilian features and may have been Confederate used. It retains a rare and original bayonet. There is a sling button behind the trigger plate on bottom of stock and a swivel on the front bbl back. The adjusting pinion for the rear sight is missing. A recent letter from noted Whitworth rifle authorities Dr. D. W. Bailey & W. S. Curtis who are currently doing a research project of Whitworth rifles which will eventually result in a definitive reference book. States as follows “The Whitworth rifle SN C777 described here is a rare variation lying between the more common commercial military and semi-military models and the true half stocked target rifles. It incorporates many of the elements of the Whitworth fine quality early 30″ sporting rifles, but combines them with the full stocked 36″ bbl banded military style. Specifically, these are the sporting lock for the single side nail, the bbl bar and sporting type of percussioning, the spur trigger guard and the sporting style engraving which is considerably more ornate than any other model. To date we have only identified 8 of these highbreds from the 556 Whitworth’s recorded out of the total factory production of some 5,500 which were made.” CONDITION: Considerable original brown on the bbl mixed with light surface rust. The trigger guard and butt plate, show some original blue. The wood is fine with minor dents and scratches. Action is excellent. 4-46771 (7,500-15,000)

The receiver similar to the standard production Model 21 with a stepped reinforced side, a slight scallop over the front 1/3 of the bottom with a stepped floorplate that is engraved with the Winchester name. It has a plain trigger guard and serrated thumb safety. It is fitted with dbl. triggers and extractors. Accompanied by several letters, one from Herbert G. Houze dated February 5th 1986, the then curator of the Winchester Arms Museum discussed the development of the Model 21 and stating that the initial inception was begun in 1919 with final acceptance of the Model C design as the production model. He states that there were six unnumbered shotguns made, two each in 12ga, 16ga and 20ga. This shotgun is one of the two 16ga. guns. Mr. Houze further states that the hand-engraved Winchester on the bottom of the frame is the only markings for these trial sample shotguns. Another letter, dated January 18th, 1918, to Mr. J. E. Otterson from Edwin Pugsley suggests that Winchester contemplate producing both single barrel and double barrel shotguns. Another letter, dated December 7th, 1929, from Mr. Pugsley to Capt. E.C. Crossman, advising him that the release of the new Winchester dbl. bbl shotgun was imminent and one would be sent to him as soon as they were produced. Also accompanying this lot is a letter from Mr. Hutchinson. NSN. CONDITION: Excellent. Retains most of its original factory finish with one small chemical stain on the left bbl, light edge wear and a small grain check in the heel. Action is a little stiff and sometimes difficult to open. Bright shiny bores. This is a rare opportunity for the fortunate collector to own a one-of-a-kind prototype for the most famous shotgun ever made by Winchester. It seems to be the only remaining example of the three types experimented with and the one Winchester chose to build. Do not allow this opportunity to pass you by. It will not come again in our lifetime!!!4-46907 (25,000-75,000)

*RARE WINCHESTER PROTOTYPE OR EXPERIMENTAL MODEL 70 BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Cal. .27. Standard grade Model 70 featherweight rifle with 22″ tapered round bbl, ramp front sight, folding bbl sight, marked on the left side of the chamber area “27 CAL SPECIAL”, checkered one piece Monte Carlo stock with aluminum buttplate and sling swivels. This rifle is accompanied by a letter, dated 5/11/93, from Mr. Herman N. Bockstruck, the former Alton, IL plant research engineer in charge of ammunition testing and development and was also in charge of Mr. Olin’s personal guns and other special firearms in the factory. This letter states that Winchester manufactured six rifles of this configuration for R & D testing under a military contract in the late 1950’s, titled “HOMOLOGOUS SERIES STUDY” and was known as “1044 Contract”. They built rifles in 22, 25, 27 & 30 calibers, all built on the 7.62mm Nato cartridge. Upon completion of the test, eventually all the test rifles were either destroyed or shipped to the military except this rifle which Olin Corp. was allowed to retain. The suggested name for the cartridge was going to be “277 Winchester” but was never put into production. This rifle was subsequently put into Mr. Olin’s collection and eventually given to Mr. Bockstruck by Mr. Olin and subsequently sold to Mr. Hutchinson. This almost certainly is a one of a kind Model 70. SN 252659 CONDITION: Excellent. Retains about all of the original factory finish to both metal and wood with only very minor edge wear on the metal and one or two small dings on the wood. The bolt is matching numbered to the receiver. 4-46779 JR354 (5,000-10,000)

*WINCHESTER EXPERIMENTAL OR PROTOTYPE BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Cal. .243. Built on an action that resembles a cross between a post-64 Model 70 and commercial FM Mauser without claw extractor.

It is mounted in a straight grain uncheckered Monte Carlo stock without cheekpiece and with a hard rubber buttplate. The trigger guard is cast alloy with a machined steel floorplate which has a front release and contains what appears to be a three or four round single column detachable magazine. This appears to be an attempt by Winchester to make a low cost competitive bolt action detachable magazine rifle. It was never put into production. The only markings on the rifle are the SN, cal. and Winchester factory proofs. SN EXP.3 CONDITION: Excellent +. Retains virtually all its original factory finish to both metal and wood. Bright shiny bore. 4-46778 JR353 (1,000-5,000)

*WINCHESTER EXPERIMENTAL MODEL 70 SOLID ACTION SINGLE SHOT RIFLE. Cal. 308. This rifle is 1 of a consecutive numbered pair in this auction. The receiver was made at the request of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Training Center at Ft. Benning, GA. It was made without top and bottom cutouts, for added strength and accuracy. The Army ordered two of these rifles from Winchester. The factory initially made four receivers in case one or more was damaged. None were damaged in the initial assembly, so two receivers remained. Mr. Max Thompson, the Manager of Rifle and Pistol Promotion at Winchester had the custom shop build these two rifles, one in Cal. 308 and the other in Cal. 225 Winchester. This rifle has a 28″ tapered heavy round bbl, 7/8″ at the muzzle. It is mounted in a heavy target stock with hand stop rail groove in the bottom (rail never installed).

WINCHESTER PROTOTYPE PISTOL PARTS FOR THE PROPOSED MODEL 1959-63 DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. The idea for an inexpensive Cal. 22 or 38 revolver was explored by Winchester with the Bellmore-Johnson Tool Co. of Hamden, CT in the period 1959-63. Bellmore-Johnson designed the prototypes utilizing a sintered metal process for the frame fabrication and produced several test pieces. About the time that Winchester was seriously considering entering production, President Kennedy was assassinated and Winchester immediately scrapped the idea for fear of political repercussions. They closed the plant they had built to do this project, destroyed the existing samples except for the remaining prototype parts and two complete revolvers, which are currently on display in the Cody Firearms Museum, Cody, WY. This lot consists of two barreled actions which are the actual prototype patterns as identified by a numerical tag, three blued prototype frames, cylinder with ejector, and a box of parts, springs and screws, probably everything to assemble another complete gun. Accompanying are five 8×10 factory black & white photos of these partially completed revolvers. These prototype parts were obtained by Mr. Hutchinson directly from the Research Department through his friend John Olin.
