 | 109. Percussion Boot Pistol by J. Jenison & Co, Southbridge, Mass. This 34 caliber under hammer pistol is 10" over all length with a 6" barrel that goes from octagon to turnings to round. The barrel also says "Cast Steel" on it. The bag grip with a pointed end is brilliant tiger stripe maple and is cracked all of the way though, but is completely held in position by the brass frame. This delicate little pistol deserves a place in any discriminating collection of under hammer firearms as it has 95% finish on the wood and the metal is all smooth blackish-silver. $399.99. |
| 110. German Artillery Luger made in 1916 by DWM. The metal finish is 98% with its tangent rear sight and an 8" barrel. The bore is in good condition and is 9mm Luger. The magazine has a wood floor plate. The top half is serial number 2497 and the frame is numbered 4441. Comes complete with board shoulder stock. I got this gun from a gentleman whose father bought it from Stoger in the 1920’s and used it to shoot deer in northern Minnesota in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The detachable wood stock is in very good condition but no longer has the flap holster that was originally attached to it. $999.99. A FFL is needed to purchased this firearm. |
| 111. J.M. Cooper Second Model Pocket Revolver in 31 caliber. This very unusual Civil War cap and ball revolver is 11¼" overall with a 6" octagon barrel that looks like a Colt copy, except that it has a larger brass trigger guard and is also double action. The reddish wood grips have 95% of their original finish and the brass grip frame is a nice mustard color and the rest of the metal is silverish-black. This rare little gem is a fine addition to any Civil War collection and is only $349.99. |
| 112. 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. |
| 113. SOLD "Little Tom" 25 ACP Automatic. It was made in Austria by Wiener Waffenfabrik. This early little pocket pistol was very unusual in that it was one of the first double action 25 caliber automatics. It is 4 ½" overall and is 3¼" in height. It has an open top slide and round hammer. Complete with hard rubber grips. the bluing is in 90% condition. The grips are in 100% condition. It also comes with a flap holster. My guess is that this pistol was used by rear area echelon German personnel during WWII that did not have a need to carry a firearm but carried one as a sign of importance. The price with holster is $199.99. A FFL is needed to purchase this firearm. |
