- Large Flintlock (Just the
Lock) As Used On 4
Gauge African Trade Gun. Using parts from French 1840’s back action lock on new
lockplate with large flint hammer, frizzum and frizzum spring. The lock is almost 9"
long and 3 ½" high. $79.99
- German name and workmanship on Schutzen percussion rifle. No European marks, so probably U.S.
manufacture. Heavy octagon barrel is 38". Barrel is 1 1/8" across flats and is
.41 cal. This rifle probably uses a picket or a sugar loaf bullet because of the fast
twist in the barrel. The bore is in like two condition. Very fancy trigger guard with fine
set of set triggers. Very nice fancy grain wood -- half-stock with a 1 1/2" stock
extender near the Schutzen butt plate. This work was very professionally done. Globe front
site with detachable ring and very nice micrometer rear site which folds down. This target
rifle has no provision for ramrod. This also make me think this was made in America. It
comes complete with its own false muzzle and its own picket ball starter. Shooting
Schutzen-type rifles was popular in this area, particularly in Wisconsin. This sport
continued up and through the 1920’s. This late 1800’s target rifle is in
excellent condition and just begs to again be used in target competition. Only $1,399.99
- Long heavy American
Kentucky rifle. The
392 inch octagon barrel is 1 and 3/16th inches across the flats. The barrel is very
interesting in that this gun must have been owned by a number of people in its lifetime.
The present sights consist of a handmade adjustable rear sight 112 inches from the back of
the barrel and a fairly high steel front blade sight. However, previous owners at one time
must have had a globe or a peep sight inletted into the tang of the weapon. Another owner
had a sight inletted two inches from the end of the barrel. Another owner had a sight slot
8 inches inletted into the back of the barrel. Likewise there are three sight slots
besides the sight that is on the front of the barrel. The letters "S S G" are
engraved in large letters on the barrel. The bore appears to be in very good condition and
is very shootable. The back action lock is completely plain without the maker’s name
or engraving. It uses a drum percussion system. It has a nice set of set triggers. The
nose cap, three ramrod pipes, semi-fancy trigger guard and deeply curved butt-plate are
all brass. The 552 inch full stock has a vivid flame grain tiger stripe pattern and is
very attractive. There are two small patches, one around the drum and one above the lock.
These are very interesting Kentucky’s, in that most of them were made originally in
flint. An original percussion lock target Kentucky is very unusual. The stock is in 90%
condition. The barrel has a gray-brown patina with pits only around the percussion nipple.
This is a highly collectible and shootable gun and is unusual as it is not cracked or
broken across the wrist as most extremely heavy barrel target rifles were. Priced at $799.99 Also with ramrod.
- London 12 ga. percussion
shotgun. W. Arden is
the maker. The word "London" is on the locks. London laminate steel on the
barrels. Walnut stock has very pleasing tiger stripe in it. And all metal has a nice
brown-black patina. Comes complete with its own original ramrod. Only $399.99
- Blunderbuss with very rare
and unusual elliptical muzzle bell. This is a very early gun with unbridled lock that looks English or German,
but has no name or proof marks. The 16 inch unproofed barrel goes from octagon to fancy
turnings and carvings to round. The bell is swamped out to 2 inches on both sides and 1
and 1/8 inch vertically. The bore tapers to about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. The walnut
full stock is swamped downwards from the trigger guard to the butt. All brass furniture is
nicely turned and engraved, except for period replacement side plate that was obviously
Mediterranean. It still retains its original iron ramrod. There is a 3/4 inch split in the
stock at the back tit or point of the banana shaped lock, that does not detract from the
overall appearance of this rare gun. All iron is a smooth brown-black color and the stock
is in excellent condition. It is possible that this firearm is American-made. $899.99
- U.S. Springfield 58
Caliber 1863 model Type II a.k.a. 1864. Made by Springfield Armory from 1864 to 1865. Total quantity made
was 252,040. The 40 inch steel barrel has very strong rifling and is very shootable. All
furniture is silvery-black without any rust and only a small pitting around the bolster.
The lock is marked 1864 and says "U.S Springfield" and has the eagle on the
lock. The stock has never been refinished or sanded. It still has a faint cartouche and
all edges are sharp with 80 to 90% finish. This gun is really cherry. $1299.99
- SOLD Classic Kentucky Rifle. 13 silver decorations in stock.
There is a brass nose cap, ramrod pipes, large brass panel inledded under forearm (for
shooting off stumps), brass side plate, fancy trigger guard and "c"-shape
butt-plate. It has a 37 and 3/4 inch barrel, octagon shape with deep rifling and is 38
caliber. Overall length is 53 and 1/2 inches. The stock shows some flame, but most of it
is too dark to be seen well. A couple of repaired cracks in the forearm of the full length
stock. The lock says "Loomis of Ohio". Comes complete with it’s own ramrod.
It is missing one tang screw which does not detract from it’s overall condition. It
also has a traditional check piece on the left hand side.

SOLD Maltry and Henley, Spencer Safety Hammerless Revolver. This
revolver was patented in 1888 and was made in the 1890’s. Approximately two thousand

including the barrel and frame which classifies this as a American oddity. Excellent fancy

firearm is brightly gold plated. The good news is that they did not grind off the markings

U.S. 1863 Springfield Rifle Musket. Lock is dated 1863, has an eagle holding arrows and says
"U.S. Springfield". 40" barrel is in good condition. V&P and date of
1863 on breach of barrel. All metal is basically silver with black spotting through out.
One exception is that the rear sight appears to be blue. Metal does not appear to have any
pitting. The bore looks dirty but it is obvious that it is still rifled. Sling swivels on
the trigger guard and the second band. The wood is completely original, has
inspector’s marks and has 80 % of the original finish. Original ramrod is included.
Surprisingly there seems to be a new reproduction nipple, so someone was obviously getting
ready to shoot this. If cleaned up this would make a very nice shooter. $1599.99.
SOLD Incredibly Massive Double Barrel Market Gun. Both bores are only 820/thousands, which I think is only a tad
bigger than 8 gauge. But near the nipples, the breaches are a massive 3" across and
each barrel is over 1½" in diameter. My assumption is that the 36" barrels
probably shot a 4 gauge load in each barrel. The shotgun weighs well over 20 pounds and is
typical of a Market Hunters Gun. The front action shows engraving on hammer and locks and
the scene of a dog or fox on each lock. The barrels were proofed in Belgium and 90% of the
original Damascus finish is still there. All furniture appears to be lightly engraved. It
appears that one hammer is a period replacement. This massive hunters gun could still
bring down a whole flock of geese, if you had a enough testosterone to pull the triggers!
Seriously there is no reason that you could not shoot this gun, as it appears to have good
bores. $899.99.
1816 Model Harper’s Ferry Flintlock Musket. The 42" 69 caliber barrel has "V and P" proof
marks on the breach and in very small letters on the tang. Also near the tang it has
stampings "H". The number "82" appears underneath the H on the end of
the barrel and the number "184" is on the tang. All of the iron is a
blackish-silver finish and the sling swivels on the guard bow of the second band. It has a
large "M" stamped on the front part of the guard bow. The stock is a very
pleasing reddish brown walnut with all of the appropriate inspectors marks on it. The
stock has a slight chip on the left side by the tang and a small chip on the right side
near the frizzen spring. The lock is marked Harper’s Ferry 1839 behind the hammer and
has an eagle holding arrows and "U.S." underneath in front of the hammer. The
Type Three a.k.a. "National Armory Bright" made 1831 to 1834, were almost all
converted to percussion for use in the Civil War, hence genuine Flintlock specimens are
very scarce and rare. This specimen is $4,999.99 and well worth every penny of it.
Extremely high grade American Rifle made by someone
schooled in the British school of gunsmithing. This rifle was probably meant for the
Western Trade in the 1840’s or 1850’s. The 32½" octagon barrel is 52
caliber and it appears to have a very good rifled bore. It appears that the barrel is 1
and 1/16th at the muzzle and 1 and 1/8th at its patent breach with platinum blow out plug.
The rear sight is 8½" from the breach and it has a typical silver front sight. All
iron furniture on this very unusual rifle is engraved in a British very small style. This
rifle is very unusual in that it looks like a half stock Kentucky Rifle with finger
projections on its trigger guard and very sharply curved c-shaped butt-plate. The stock
has a checkering at fore-end and wrist. The barrel is held on by one barrel escutcheon and
the front end of the stock has an interesting Scheobel fore-end. With absolutely no ramrod
or ramrod funnels. This firearm has a very nice set of double set triggers and its only
draw back is that is that the very tip of its hammer has been broken off. It has a check
piece on the left side and the stock is a very pretty striped and molted walnut. It
appears to me that the stock has never been sanded, but was given a coat of varnish
sometime in its life. But the piece has obviously been used enough that the 90% finish
appears right. $999.99.
German Percussion Jager Rifle by St. Lutzelber of Suhl. Overall length is 48" with a
32" barrel that is octagon and slightly swamped at the muzzle. It is a 57 caliber
deeply rifled barrel. The full stock appears to have a horn tip, the right side of which
has a quarter inch break in it that is 2" long. It has three barrel keys made of
silver, three silver ramrod pipes, silver trigger guard, butt-plate and patch box. The
fancy wood stock is all incised carved between the cheek-piece and the butt-plate. The
stock is checkered on the wrist and fore-end. It has a very nice set of set triggers. On
the engraved tang is a brass holder for a peep sight. The peep sight itself and the rear
sight on the barrel is missing. The back action lock is all engraved as well and the
hammer is in the shape of a fish. There is one sling button on the belly of the weapon and
at one time it had a sling swivel on the full fore-stock. $799.99.
Model 1863 Rifle Musket, Type II aka Model 1864. It has a single leaf rear sight. This gun is Remington’s
Ilion, N.Y. It also has the large Eagle with a shield on its chest holding arrows and
olive branches in its claws with the letters "U.S." underneath it. There is also
an eagle on the bolster and the date 1865 behind the hammer. The silvery-black barrel is
marked 1865 near the nipple, V&P with a design on the left hand flat. The barrel has
three clamping bands. It appears that the rifling is very sharp and in very nice
condition. It comes with its own ramrod. On the left hand side opposite the lock plate,
there is extremely sharp acceptance marks, one is "DL" in a square and
"OWA" in a square. The stock has about 90% or more of its finish. All and all
this is a very fine weapon and probably quite rare by this maker. $2,500.00.
Second Model Porter Revolving Turret Rifle. This incredibly rare revolving arm uses a vertically mounted
radial cylinder or turret that is rotated and locked by the movement of the under lever.
This under lever simultaneously cocks the hammer and automatically primes the weapon. This
nine-shot weapon has a straight mule-ear side hammer and serpentine loading lever at
breech of barrel. As per usual the turret cover is gone. While this weapon looks like a
Pill-lock it actually feeds regular percussion caps to the touch hole and smashes them
flat detonating the main charge. The serial number on this one is 775. The barrel is
silvery-brown with some slight pitting. Both sights are off-set to the left as is usual.
The cylinder and mechanism of this fine weapon are in good working condition. The
butt-stock is in good shape with 50% of its original finish intact, but with a ½" by
1" section of replaced wood right next to the top of the butt-plate. These guns are
as rare as hen’s teeth. $4,500.00.
British Experimental Orginial Percussion Lock
Pistol. This handgun has a experimental
safety with a rod that goes though the side of the breach and sticks out in front of the
hammer so that the hammer cannot be dropped to reach the percussion cap when the safety is
on. The 9 inch barrel is 67 caliber, has a large brass front sight. It has a projection
that held the swivel ram rod which is no longer there. The nose cap is made of brass.
There is a locking key near the nose cap in the walnut stock. There is a brass plate
approximately 1¾" long and 2" across that is inletted in to the forestock
between the raised wood around the lock plate and the end of the ram rod channel. It is
held on by 6 iron screws and I have absolutely no idea what its purpose was. The brass
side plate that holds the two lock screws have the letters "G.C" and below it
"A 102a". The brass trigger guard has three large "I"s, a dash and
"C.35" on it. It has a fish tail brass butt-plate with very short arms going up
½" and is held on by an iron screw. The large lock-plate is 5¼" long and does
have a crown and "G R" on it. The bolster and hammer look vaguely Austrian
though they are unquestionably of British manufacture. The barrel has British proofs and
the number "17" on both the patent breach and the tang. Also, other small parts
and the safety are numbered "17" as well as the barrel proper. My guess is that
this is a prototype handgun meant for either Britain or another European country, such as
Austria or Germany. 95% finish on stock and the metal is all smooth black iron. $799.99.
SOLD Smith & Wesson 35 Caliber Semi-Automatic Pistol (a.k.a. Model
of 1913). This gun was made from 1913 to
1921. The total quantity produced was 8,350. 7 shot magazine and a 3½" inch barrel.
The bluing looks like it is brand new and its walnut grips retain 95% of the finish. Smith
and Wesson’s experiment with a new caliber was a complete flop and people soon found
that they could actually shoot 32 ACP in the gun and its cost was half of the 35 caliber
ammunition. $599.99. A FFL is needed to purchase this firearm.
SOLD Diminutive all metal flintlock pocket pistol. This all
metal pistol is 6" over all with a 1½" barrel that is 38 caliber with cuts at
the muzzle for a wrench to unscrew the barrel for loading. Possible that it may be British
or Scottish manufacture and it is also possible that it has British proofs, but I
can’t tell. The entire gun has line engraving. The barrel starts out octagon, then
round with turnings that look like a miniature cannon barrel. The frizzen has a lock on
it, so that it can’t be opened at half cock and the powder dumped out. It does have a
trigger guard, which is somewhat unusual on this small of a pistol. There are some pits on
the frame, but they have been completely cleaned by sand blasting. The pistol is now in
white and needs to be re-browned. This firearm was made some time between 1750 and 1820.
All metal flint pistols are extremely rare and hard to find and this is a buy at $499.99.
East European manufactured Mosin-Nagant Carbine. It is absolutely brand new. All bluing is completely shiny and 100%. The stock
finish is 100%. There are no dings or wear marks anywhere on the gun. You can see that the
crevices are still filled with the original cosmoline. It has a 15" attached spike
bayonet. The barrel is approximately 20½" long and is 7.62x54R caliber. It comes
complete with a new cleaning rod and a new sling. The barrel is stamped "1953"
and the barrel has a diamond with "FN3" inside of it and a large number
"11" in an oval below that. The workmanship is far superior to Russian
manufactured weapons and all of the numbers match. The price for this beauty is $225.00. A FFL is needed to
purchase this firearm.
Colt 1860 Army Revolver. Over all
good to very good condition. No cylinder scene, but all marks are sharp. It has an 8"
barrel and it is a little over 14 inches over all. For some reason someone attempted to
remove the serial number from the gun, but they can still be made out faintly on the
frame. The trigger guard is a bright mustard color. 50% finish on the walnut grips. Over
all smooth blue-black finish. $850.00.
SOLD Chinese Broomhandle Mauser -- Approximately 12" overall with a 5½" barrel. This
Chinese made pistol in .45 cal. was made in 1943 and has Chinese writing on both sides. It
looks like the mag is larger than 10 rounds, but I haven’t yet tried ammo in it. The
numbers are all matching with matching grips. The hammer is the only mis-matched number.
Outside is fair to good condition, mainly silver with small areas of miniscule pitting.
These are extremely rare guns, especially in .45 cal. Own a piece of WWII history for only
$899
