!!!!!The exact miniatures
on this page are featured on the cover of the Fall 1975 Abercrombie & Fitch catalog as shown below!!!!! I am very interested in buying the Larry Smith cased Colt
Paterson set serial # 27, the miniature sword, and the miniature duck decoys shown on the cover. Top prices paid!!!!!
This
is a pair of antique screw off barrel, folding trigger, percussion muff pistols, probably made in Belgium in the 1850's.
Each pistol measures 1 11/16" long overall with a .558" long barrel. This is the first and only set I have
ever seen with wood grips. Most of these have either ivory or gold metal engraved grips. The grips are flat sided,
not rounded as is usually seen. The backstraps of both are marked R NART N, which I'm guessing is the maker. The
barrels have a round bore with four grooves cut into the muzzle 90 degrees apart so at to engage the barrel key
on the supplied combination bullet mold/tool. The outside of the barrels are plain. The frames are engraved and
look to be silver plated. The tool is a bullet mold, barrel wrench, and nipple wrench, and looks to be silver plated.
The powder flask looks to be cast silver. It measures 3/4" in diameter and 1/4" thick, and has a cast silver
top attached by a very fine chain. The case has a hinged top and is lined in a dark brown velvet. The hinges and
clasp are very finely made and look to be silver. This exact cased set was pictured on the cover of the Fall 1975 Abercrombie
& Fitch catalog, and offered for sale on the inside front cover for $2,750.00. The catalog cover photo shows there
to be a small screwdriver in the set which has since, unfortunately, has been lost. One of the pistols seems to have
a broken mainspring, the other functions perfectly. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12, Photo 13 Price: $3,750.00

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is
a 1/2 scale Winchester Model 1866 saddle ring Carbine by the reknown Tom P. Weston of Mexico City, Mexico. Probably
made in the 1950's or 1960's. 100% fully functional and chambered to shoot the .22 short rim fire cartridge. 20
3/4" long overall with a 10" .22 caliber rifled barrel. Brass frame, sideplates, cartridge lifter, crescent
buttplate, and buttplate trapdoor. The balance of the metal parts are machined blued steel. The buttstock and
forearm are nice straight grained American walnut. Checkered hammer spur. There is even a neat functional three
piece cleaning rod in the trap in the buttstock. The serial number, 59, is stamped into the bottom of the frame just
behind the trigger. The Weston markings are light, and are stamped into the lower tang just behind the lever latch.
The top of the barrel engracved with the proper Winchester barrel address. Typical catbine two leaf flip rear
sight. There are a few scattered minor handling marks and a rub mark on the magazine tube on the left side about 1 1/8"
forward of the forearm tip. I'd call it 96% overall. This item must be sent to a FFL licensed dealer and is considered
a handgun. May not be legal to own in some states with stupid anti gun laws. If you live in one of those states,
move! This exact piece pictured on the cover of the Fall 1975 Abercrombie & Fitch catalog and offered for sale for
