Antique-Perc-derr-pair-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

These are not true miniatures, but are a matched pair of very small full size single shot percussion derringers by an unknown maker.  Both feature a ring in the trigger that would have been used as a lanyard or on a pocket watch chain.  Both measure 2 15/16" long overall with 25/32" smoothbore barrels of .125 caliber.  The steel parts look to have been originally finished in the white and are now a gray/brown patina.  Varnished straight grain one piece walnut stocks.  Both pieces are functional, but on one you need to hold the trigger forward for the hammer to catch, so I guess maybe the trigger spring is broken.

Eberl-1802-FL-Ivory-pistol-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 1/4 scale ivory stocked 1802 French Officer's flintlock pistol by Joseph Ebrel in Vienna (Wein).  This exact piece is pictured in Merrill Lindsey's book "Miniature Arms" on page 91.  It is from the famous Harold Berger collection of Philadelphia.  It is only the third piece known to be attributed to Joseph Ebrel in Vienna Circa 1800 - 1830.  Of the other two known pieces, one, a percussion pistol, is pictured in Lindsey's book on page 67, and is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.  The other, a double barrel pill lock rifle, is pictured in the book, The Art of Miniature Firearms, Centuries of Craftsmanship on pages 256 & 257, and is now in a private collection in New York.  Berger sold his miniature collection to Westley Richards in London shortly before/after Merrill Lindsey's book was published, which would have been about 1969 - 1970.  The caption in Lindsey's book states "officer's pistol, circa 1800, ... 3 1/2", Berger Collection.  This piece is also pictured in a Westley Richards catalog circa 1970.  The piece is 100% fully functional and was intended to, and indeed will shoot.  Note that the trigger extends through the triggerguard to make it easier to shoot, a common trait of antique shootable miniatures.  The piece actually measures about 3.385" long overall with a 2 1/8" silver plated octagon barrel of about .12 caliber.  The top flat of the barrel engraved Jph Eberl.  The nose cap and grip cap are both engraved silver.  The triggerguard is engraved silver plated steel as is the rear ram rod pipe.  The lock is engraved, marked WEIN, and is finished in the white.  The brass pan is removable.  The trigger is steel, is finished in fire blue with about 65% original fire blue finish remaining.  The pistol grip is scrimshaw engraved with a crown motif near the top curve, and the left side of the stock is scrimshaw engraved in a flower & leaf motif.  The ramrod is steel, finished in the white, with a brass tip.  Perfect crisp working action with half and full cock with a strong hammer spring.  Beautiful condition.  The barrel showing about 65% original plating.  The triggerguard showing 100% silver plating.  The silver of course turning a dark silver oxide patina.  The ivory stock showing a small superficial crack at the rear of the lockplate extending back about 7/16".  The ivory showing a beautiful aged patina and lots of grain, especially near the grip cap.  Complete with a rather nondescript wood case.  Miniature firearms, or full size ones for that matter, just don't get any better than this!  Included with this sale will be a copy of Merrill Lindsey's book, Miniature Arms, and a photo copy of the Westley Richards catalog.  By the way, that is an 1806 US half cent for a scale reference, thanks Mike!

HutchensLugerset-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is an absolutely perfect pair of German Lugers by the reknown Raymond Hutchens of Indiana.  Ray was, in my opinion, one of the top two miniature makers in the world and by far the best maker that has ever lived in the U.S.  These Lugers are nothing short of fantastic!  Made in 1/2 scale, the set consist of a 1906 Naval Luger and a French contract Artillery Luger.  Both are 100% fully functional with all the correct markings, proof marks, etc.  Parts that should be hardned are, the rifling is correct as to twist and number of lands & grooves, all parts are properly finished with some being black blue, some fire blue, and some straw colored.  Both Lugers were made by Ray for Joeseph D. Kramer and are featured in Kramer's book "Scale Model Firearms"  on pages 35 & 36, a hardbound copy of which will be included with the set.

Navy Luger:  Accessories include two standard 9 round 9mm magazines with wood bottoms, the shoulder stock, the perfect and functional 32 round snail drum magazine with dust cover, and the snail drum magazine loading tool. 
Artillery Luger:  Accessories include three standard 9 round 9mm magazines with aluminum bottoms, the shoulder stock, the perfect and functional 32 round snail drum magazine with dust cover, and the snail drum magazine loading tool.
Please note that the two drum magazines are different, one being the early version, and othe other the late version.  The set is complete with 3 rounds of perfect live 1/2 scale 9mm parabellum ammunition.  Also included are seven rounds which show firing pin indentions.  I do not know if these were ment to be dummies or if they are misfires.  The ammunition features drawn brass, not machined cases, correct "DWM K K 480C." headstamps, and white guilding metal full metal jacket bullets with a rounded nose profile.  These rounds typically sell for $100.00+ to collectors.

Varnished highly figured walnut grips. The caliber marking 45 CAL is stamped on the left rear side of the triggerguard, two patent dates stamped on the left front of the frame. The serial number, 85456, is stamped on the frame, triggerguard, cylinder, and backstrap. 56 is stamped into the loading gate.   Blue and case colored finish, the case colors really nice and vibrant.  Checkered hammer spur, early blackpowder pinched frame topstrap, bullseye ejector rod button.  Fully functional, but non-firing.  There is a small ding on the left grip panel, otherwise it is in mint condition.  This piece must have been a special order for someone wanting a miniature to match their original full sized Colt SAA as the normal Uberti serial numbers never went past the mid four digit numbers.  Complete with a nice finger jointed walnut hinged top casing with push button latch made by Wayne Hoosier.  The interior English fit in a medium blue felt.  The interior of the lid has the proper Colt instruction label.  In addition, there are 29 solid brass dummy cartridges with W-W .45 COLT headstamps.

Colt-case-3-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a nice contemporary type mahogany casing.  It was once in the Art Palicki collection.  I do not know exactly what miniature fit this, but it looks to be a 1/3 or 1/4 scale revolver.   Compartments for the revolver, mold, flask, cap tin, etc.  The casing exterior dimensions measure 5 15/16" X 4" X 1 1/4".  The interior is English fit in a hunter green felt.  I do not know who made this, but it looks to have some age on it.  Would be a great candidate to be gutted, relined, and re-compartmented.

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a miniature British 9 pounder made by master miniature maker Stanley Blashak (1915 - 2001).  13 1/2" long overall & 9 1/2" wide.  The wheels are 5 1/4" in diameter.   The barrel is 7 1/4" long and measures 1.085 at the muzzle with a .632 bore.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole, so this cannon will shoot.  The carriage is American black walnut with brass furniture.  The barrel is bronze.  Accessories include a ramrod, a water bucket, a swab, and a coil of rope.  Superb workmanship and attention to detail as you would expect from anything that Stanley made.  I'd put it up against a Furr any day, and it's smaller.  Formerly in the Paul and Mary Kopsch collection.  This is one of only two miniature cannons that Stanley ever made.

Uberti-Colt-1st-dragoon-75-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!

This is a true Colt Whitneyville/Walker Dragoon made by Uberti in 47% scale. 6 1/2" long overall with a 3 9/16" rifled barrel of .21 caliber.  You will note the long barrel lug like on a Walker, and that the walnut grips curve into the back of the frame on the sides like on a Walker. These are the indications of a Whitneyville/Walker Dragoon. This is because the Whitneyville/Walkers were made from left over Walker parts at the Eli Whitney factory as Colt did not have a factory at the time.  Also known as the "Fluck" dragoon after the man who discovered this variation. This, maybe unique, Uberti miniature is finished in beautiful charcoal blue and case colors and has beautiful varnished walnut grips. The triggerguard and backstrap are silver plated which is quite rare.  The barrel is roll marked with the proper Colt barrel address, the only Uberti dragoon I have ever seen so marked.  The cylinder is roll engraved with the correct Indian and Texas Rangers battle scene. "COLT'S PATENT" is expertly hand engraved on the left side of the frame. The polish and blueing are much nicer that on a normal Uberti miniature, so this may have been made for Aldo or as a special presentation.  It is cased with accessories including the flask, brass mold with blue steel sprue cutter, nipple wrench/screwdriver, cap tin, and cartridge packet. This miniature is cased in a gorgeous burl Elm casing with red felt lined English compartments, miniature Colt key lock (no key), loading instructions interior label, and a round brass escutcheon inlaid in the center top.  Mint condition except for a few very small freckles on the left side of the barrel lug.  A super rare Uberti dragoon with the silver plated triggerguard and backstrap, and the factory Colt barrel address!
