#130 - Spencer Rifle - Serial number 3173. The first Spencers were rifles, not carbines, but were issued nonetheless to mounted unites like Custer’s Michigan Brigade and Wilder’s Lightning Brigade. This is the standard early army model rifle of .52 caliber with 6 groove rifling, and the bore is clean with strong grooves. These guns have a nice long 30” barrel, and function just like the carbines do, with a tube of ammunition that loads into the butt of the rifle. This gun has a bit of case color on the right side of the receiver, and the rest of the metal has a smooth chocolate finish. The wood is very good in the butt stock, and good in the fore stock. Just in front of the receiver on the left, you can see where a piece of wood came off. This area has the same appearance as the rest of the gun, and it is likely that this happened in the early part of this guns life. The front sling swivel may be a replacement, and the screw that holds the hammer on, has had the head broken off. It is adhered in place now. $2,950.00

#134 - Liege F & T 1861 Musket - This imported musket is marked on the lock plate “LIEGE / F & T/ 1861” and also a crown over “H” and is marked on the barrel “ELG”, “S”, and “FT”. This is the firm of Falisse and Trapman in Belgium which produced these 1842 French style muskets so heavily used by both Union and Confederate troops. The left-hand side of the stock near the butt is marked in a few locations with more letters, but they are kind of hard to make out. The slotted screws are all market with an H proof mark. The barrel is 40 1/2 inches long, and is a large caliber with a smooth bore. There is a bayonet lug present on the underside of the barrel. The ramrod is present, and is of a tapered style. The trigger guard plate has two ribs as part of its design. This gun was made as a percussion gun, and is missing the nipple. One of the nicest examples I have owned in quite a while... $795.00

#135 - P53 Enfield w/ R.T. Pritchett Signed Lock – A good scarce CW Enfield signed by Pritchett. R. T. Pritchett was a noted member of the London Arms Trade and is remembered for his experi­mentation in rifling systems in the early 1850’s. Together with W.E. Metford he designed the bullet adopted by the army for the P53 Enfield, named the Pritchett bullet. This gun is fresh to the market from a garage sale picker in Michigan. This gun has no CS markings but really does whistle Dixie when you look at it. It is missing the ramrod, has a replaced hammer that looks confederate, missing the rear sling swivel, and has a severe crack from the wrist to the butt, and another couple cracks near the tang. The long range rear sight is missing the elevation adjuster but is otherwise complete. The gun does not cock and fire but I will leave that repair for you. The bore is exceptionally nice for a gun that shows all the rigors of war. A great old well-used Enfield, with likely CSA connection… $895.00

#139 - “Jones” Brass Barrel Flintlock Pistol - This large pistol is 15 Inches long with a 9 1/4 inch barrel that measures around 68 Caliber. The lock is marked “Jones” and has no other markings.

There are some horizontal cracks in the wood along the inlet channel near the muzzle on both sides of the stock. At the rear of the lock is a small chip with some filler there. The hammer cocks back to the half cock, but does not click into the final full cock position. The ramrod is a replacement, and is only 4 1/2 inches long as opposed to the 8 or so inches it should be. Great eye appeal ... Circa 1825 $975.00

#150 - Extremely Rare Model 1841 US Cadet Musket – This is one of the true RARITIES in the field of American Arms Collecting. Only 450 of these .57 caliber cadet muskets were made with barrel lengths of 40 inches, 34 inches, or 31 inches. Flayderman cites 450 produced another source states 506 were made. This is the 34 inch example which is the most aesthetically pleasing of the three lengths. Stamped on the lock is… “(eagle) / US” and also “SPRING / FIELD / 1844”. These look like a miniature M1842 musket but are far more interesting due to the diminutive size. They are smooth bore, and were issued to the US Corps of Cadets at West Point. This gun is overall fine condition with strong stock edges, smooth metal surfaces with lovely age brown patina, sharp markings, and perfect mechanics. This is 100% original and complete including the ramrod. The barrel is marked… “V / P / (eaglehead)” and also bears the matched date of “1844”. On the stock behind the lockplate a “W”. Rarer by far than most Confederate long arms, and ultra desirable as having been produced at the US Armory at Springfield. Here is an opportunity to acquire a truly rare US musket….. $8950.00

A very fine gentleman’s belt pistol with attractive silver mountings. The percussion lock is engraved “R.S. Clark” listed by Sellers as a gun maker in Albany New York. The lock is secured with a single screw. The stock is straight grain walnut, checkered on the grip. The butt cap is finely engraved silver as is the lower ramrod thimble. The trigger guard is finely engraved steel. The escutcheons around the barrel key are silver, the left escutcheon is replaced. The nose cap is silver. The octagon barrel is roughly 50 caliber and is engraved on the top “Fall Proof” ... marked thus because it has a patent breech where the barrel can be lifted out of the channel without having to remove the tang screw. Condition is overall Very Good. There is a replaced sliver of wood along the right side of the stock’s top edge along the channel. There is a sliver of wood missing along this channel on the left side. There is superbly executed hand engraving on the butt cap, trigger guard, lock, hammer, barrel tang, and the breech. It is very finely crafted and solid. In front of the trigger guard, the initials “GV” stamped into the wood. Finding American made pistols of this quality from this time period is quite rare.

#167 - Model 1826 US Navy Flintlock Pistol - This gun has an 8 5/8” barrel, secured with a single barrel band. Caliber .54 and it is estimated that only 3,000 of these were made. The gun has a front sight mounted onto the barrel, and the rear sight is oval shaped andintegrated with the tang. The lock is marked “U.S. / S. NORTH” and behind the hammer is the date “1828”. Opposite the lock, is the original steel belt hook to allow the gun to be attached to a belt. A partial cartouche is visible. The barrel is stamped “US/AH/P”. There is a very minor crack in the stock (left side) about 1 inch long, mentioned only for accuracy’s sake. This was the last model of martial pistol made by Simeon North. These are scarce in general and extremely rare in original flint. I have examined this flintlock carefully. There is no visual indication of alteration or reconversion on the barrel. The touch hole is small and perfectly centered. There is no sign of welding of a closed bolster or nipple hole. The brass pan does show evidence of being repaired or replaced with a replaced screw clearly evident. This can be seen only when the lock is removed from the gun and viewed from the back. All other lock parts appear untouched. The lines and color are very appealing, the rarity is high, the price very realistic... $4500.00
