BarrettIronFrameHenryRifle.jpg

Another great 1/2 scale miniature by master miniature maker Mike Barret. This is one of only four iron frame Henry rifles that Mike made.  Fully functional with .22 caliber rifled barrel and a beautiful dark straight grain walnut stock as would be proper for a Henry. This miniature has the proper barrel address, serial number, and proof markings hand engraved by master engraver Roger Sampson. Roger also slicked up the internal parts so the action works smooth as glass. Roger also did the final surface prep work to make it ready for finishing. Doug Turnbull finished the rifle in the proper blue and case colors. Additional photos available upon request.

onethirdHeasmanaircanegun.jpg

This is a super 1/3 scale pneumatic can gun cased with accessories made by master miniature builder Gordon Heasman in England.  Fully functional and firing.  A fantastic set with every tool and accessory you would need to shoot.    This exact miniature featured on page 9 of Imperial Russian Armory's 1997 sixteen page color catalog.  The air gun is in two pieces, the air chamber and the barrel which screw together.  Has an ivory pistol grip handle that can be unscrewed and replaced with the ivory rifle stock.  It is a rifle, or you can unscrew the barrel liner and it converts into a shotgun.  Includes the air pump that has both a blue steel foot handle and a ivory hand handle.  Accessories include the pliers type bullet mold, patch cutter, a rifle cleaning rod, a shotgun cleaning rod. the key for cocking the mechanism, a spanner wrench for disassembling the air chamber, and a large quantity of properly sized lead balls.  The leathers in the air pump are dried out and will need to be cleaned and oiled in order to charge the air cylinder.  The ivory rifle stock has a couple of small cracks at the end that threads onto the air chamber.  Otherwise, this piece is in near mint condition.  To operate this, you would screw the pump into the air chamber, screw one of the handles onto the other end, then pump up the air chamber.  You would then screw the barrel to the air chamber and fit either the pistol grip or the rifle stock.  You would then load the barrel.  You then take the key and insert it into a hole in the air chamber.  Turning the key cocks the gun.  There is then a small button that when puched shoots the gun.  Multiple shots can be fired on one charge of the air chamber.  One of only six made.

DeWalt-matchlock-battle-axe-1.JPG

This is a 1/4 scale matchlock pistol combination battle axe by an unknown maker.  I thought it was an unmarked Ron DeWalt, but Ron tells me he didn't make it.    Maybe an Agnoletto?, but it doesn't have his normal markings either.  7 1/16" long overall with a 3 1/8" barrel with about a .12 caliber bore.  All steel construction and finished in the white.  Fully functional and will probably shoot.  Excellent workmanship!

4-Miniartthird94Wincarbines-1.JPG

Here are four different 1/3 scale special order Winchester Model 1894 carbines made by Miniart in Russia.  These are all probably one a kind pieces, at least are the only ones I know of, and 99% of the miniart miniatures came through my hands.  All have the proper upper tang markings and proper barrel markings.  The steel parts are polished blue, and the stocks are highly figured American walnut.  Checkered hammer spurs, typical carbine rear sights, carbine buttplates.  These are absolutely fully functional and will include two rounds each of solid brass dummy ammunition that can be loaded into the magizine and will feed, chamber, extract, and eject.  The lever safety is also functional.  An outstanding value!  Most of the photos are of the 15" carbine as they are typically exactly the same except for the barrel and magazine lengths.  The exception one of the last photos is a photo of one of the short magazine 20" barrel carbines front sight.  If you are interested in one of these, let me know exactly which one & I'll be happy to email you photos of the exact piece you are interested in.
