FROM THE "SAMMY DAVIS JR." COLLECTION

I purchased this "Yellowboy" from "Butterfield & Butterfield" who were selected by the Estate of Sammy Davis Jr. to auction his collection. There were only two inscribed pieces in the collection and this is one of them. The other will be found under handguns. This was obviously a gift from "Al Siegel" and unfortunately to-date I have been unable to determine his role in the life of Sammy.(See blow-up of inscription) The Winchester is in like new condition with only the very slightest indication of handling over the years. It does not have the original carton. It will include the original invoice and reciept and a copy from the Auction catalog showing the lot. This is an irreplaceable piece of history from a man who was at the top of his profession.

RARE SPRINGFIELD FLINTLOCK U.S. 1830 CADET MUSKET CONVERTED TO PERCUSSION

Originally manufactured with Flintlock mechanism this example has been converted to percussion which is most often the case with this model. Seldom offered for sale in any condition, our piece has seen extensive use however it is original except for a replaced barrel band. The serial number was obliterated during the conversion process. This is one of only 153 produced with the 401/4" barrel & 154 were produced with a 36"barrel, the entire contract for use by West Point Cadets. Impossible to find.

PRICE $7,500.00

REMINGTON CANE GUNS-WANTED

The examples shown here are .32 cal. "Dog Head" examples. It should be noted that they came in many variations in the configuration of the handle. They also came in .22 cal. as well as percussion. The handle could be a smaller Dog's head, an "L" shape, a curved shape as well as a ball and claw. All of these canes are scarce and desireable and we urge you to consult with us if you have one or a collection of these for sale. We are noted for paying very good prices.

SCARCE EARLY PERCUSSION RIFLE CANE

This is a very early example of this unique arm made in England probably before 1850 and bearing Birmingham proofs but no visible maker's name. These are classified as curios by the collecting fraternity and are seldom seen for sale. This example has a wooden handle in very good condition, the frame retains a deep blue patina with light scroll engraving and the mechanism appears to be complete with the exception of the hammer which has been snapped off. This could easily be repaired by a competent gunsmith. The barrel retains no original finish to speak of and has become corroded to the point that it will no longer unscrew for loading but could be easily freed up with a good kerosene or WD40 soaking. While not pristine, this is a good example worthy of repair and priced reasonably.

INDIAN USED FIRST MODEL 1873 WINCHESTER CARBINE

Serial number 4,003 is basically a gray gun with some minor original finish having turned brown. The dust cover is missing, as is the retainer for the holding the lever up. Otherwise it is complete & working. It has been decorated with at least 3 different types or styles of tacks of the type generally found in pioneer trunks. One type is rather unusual in that it is a two- piece design, an outer ring that is decorative and an inner plain ½ bulb tack. Another type has a round half bulb head and is iron. The entire stock has had a coat of varnish applied at some time after the tack work was done. Since the arm was said to have come from the R.C.M.P. museum located in Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada, they could have very well done this. I have had this item examined by experts and they are unanimous in their opinion that it is authentic. The tack pattern is thought to be northern plains Indian work.

SUPERB HUDSON BAY Co. INDIAN TRADE MUSKET

You won't find better. This example appears to be unfired. The lock plate retains original faded case color and is marked "Parker Field & Co." 1874 London. It is unusual to find a flintlock dated this late however, the trading posts and the government did not want the indians to have the most sophisticated and up to-date weapons which might be used against them. This full stocked weapon has a 36" barrel with virtually all of the original finish and a brass serpantine side plate as well as a brass butt plate. The stock bears a deep and near perfect impressed Hudson Bay Co. cartouche in a circle with the sitting fox. The sitting fox also appears on the side of the lock with the letters "E B" under it. The best and completely original.

1816 U.S. SPRINGFIELD NEAR MINT

It is hard to believe this beautiful musket could survive the years in this condition. A look at the blowups which may be seen by clicking on the image will testify to the exceptionally crisp markings and cartouches. The barrel and the lockplate both dated 1834 and the lockplate having the Springfield markings. We have also shown the markings on the original bayonet in the lower left corner.
A better example we have not observed. This is a Type III according to Flayderman # 9A-199 & considered very scarce.

REMINGTON KEENE CARBINE

It seems the carbines marked for use by the Indian Police are far more common than the ones that are not so marked. This is one such example in excellent condition with 60%+ original blue and complete & original. It does have a stock repair at the wrist but was not broken. The calibre is 45.70 and these saw tough use on the frontier.
