FINE LOT OF THREE CW-IW FIREARMS.

SN 91978, 135997, NSN. This lot consists of a very fine New Model Remington Percussion Revolver, SN 91978, this gun retains most of its orig bright finish with crisp markings including inspector’s cartouches. Second gun in this lot is a very fine Colt Navy Revolver SN 135997 which was made mid-Civil War. This Colt Navy retains most of its orig finish including strong traces of finish on cyl with a good complete rolled cyl scene. Final gun in this lot is an Indian War cartridge conversion of a New Model 1863 Sharp’s Percussion Carbine. This gun is in very fine condition as factory reconfigured in late 1860’s. Gun has bright, crisp inspector cartouches as can be seen in photos. This is a beautiful lot for display or for dealer to find three high finish all orig and matching guns in one lot. CONDITION: Remington overall is in very fine condition retaining 80-90% of its bright blue finish overall. Bore is shiny and crisp. Stocks are sound and solid with bright cartouche on left stock and sub-inspector marks on butts of both stocks. Crisp sub-inspector marks are found on most metal parts of gun also. Bbl address is crisp and well discerned. Colt Navy is very fine overall retaining over 50% bright blue to bbl with balance turning plum. Cyl retains strong traces of bright finish with much of balance plum though thin with some pitting near cones. Frame retains strong traces of muted case color as does hammer. Stocks retain 95% of their original varnish with reductions seen at edges of butt with one small chip at rear right toe. Gun is matching throughout and has crisp functioning action with bright crisp bore. Carbine when converted apparently had external SN’s removed as they are not discernible on bbl or tang. Metal on gun was highly buffed at arsenal prior to conversion making many of the markings weak or disappearing all together. Patent markings can still be see on frame and lock and scattered inspector marks are seen on other metal parts but Sharp’s markings on bbl and lock are gone. Metal surfaces overall are gray/silver though bbl retains 30% blue finish. Stocks are crisp and sound with well discerned inspector’s cartouches. The bore is crisp and shiny with very discernible rifling and is mechanically sound. Carbine bar has been removed otherwise gun is original and authentic in every regard. 4-49250 JS10 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 2308
