FurrThird1883Gatling23-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 1/3 scale  Model 1883 Gatling gun on a brass field carriage made by the renown Karl Furr of Orem, Utah.  Chambered in .22 short rimfire, this actually shoots and will fire up to 800 rounds per minute.  Must be sent to an FFL dealer.  64 round Accles drum magazine.  18" diameter wheels with beautiful highly figured black walnut spokes, brass hubs, and brass tires.  This is a very early Furr 1883 Gatling, serial # 09, and is signed on the bottom in engraving pencil "Made by, Karl J. Furr, No 9, Paul J. Kuni, Orem, Ut. 1969" in five lines.  The barrel group measures 18 1/2" long not counting the tiller handle.  10 .22 caliber rifled barrels enclosed in a brass casing.  The rear of the barrel group has two spirit levels for leveling the gun.  This is not classed as a class III machine gun. If you can own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, you can legally own this masterpiece in most states!  The brass looks to have never been polished, and has a nice mellow mustard color.  Really great, possibly unfired condition.  The only problem is the cascabelle knob on the rear of the gun is missing.  I am having a new one made, but it will be about 6 - 8 weeks before I receive it.  Additional photos soon.  Buy it quick before they implement a high capacity magazine ban!

1750-Flintlock-Pistol-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This may or may not be a miniature, I can't tell.  Let me know your thoughts.  This is a flintlock pistol with a very interesting action and lockwork.  4 5/16" long overall with a 2 3/16" .245 caliber smoothbore cannon muzzle barrel.  What is interesting to me about the action and lockwork is the externally mounted stirrup and hammer spring.  The way the trigger is tripped reminds me of some of the very early Japanese matchlocks.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole.  There is some rather crude engraving on each side of the barrel, on the bow of the trigger guard, and on the ramrod thimble.  The trigger guard with a typical pineapple finial.  The backstrap engraved 1750.  The left side fitted with a sash or belt hook.  One piece walnut stock with very course checkering on the grip area.  Tapered ebony ramrod.  Nice condition, the metal showing a gray/brown patina.  The stock showing 90%+ original finish.  The hammer spring is weak, but does work.

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!

Japan-Berloque-Little-Atom-Round-Butt-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
.
This is a 2mm pinfire Berloque blank pistol made in Japan.  Very similar to J2c in Bob Urso's book, "The Tiniest Guns", third edition, except this one is 1 21/32" long and this one has a rounded trigger.  This one seems to be a transition model between J2b and J2c.  J2b has a rounded hammer & trigger, J2c has a pointed hammer and trigger.  Described in Urso's book as follows:  "Unlike the well crafted Austrian pistols, Japanese guns were usually made from three layers of die stamped brass, which were riveted together, then nickel plated.  The barrel is held in place by friction sometimes produced by a dimple on the barrel mount, assisted in earlier models by a small spring which also served as the breech block.  ...  The barrels on earlier guns were drilled through.  For safety reasons, later guns had plugged barrels vented to the side, top, or bottom, or through both the top and bottom."  "Little Atom, Round Butt, Nickel plate, Flower design - with beaded background - on grips.  Austrian versions have plain background.  Markings: JAPAN on the side."  This example has a plugged barrel and is vented out to bottom.  Nice condition with some wear to the nickel plating in places with the brass showing through, but no obvious corrosion as is normally seen on these. 

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!

Japan-Berloque-Little-Atom-Rifle-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 2mm pinfire Berloque blank rifle made in Japan. Very similar to J30c in Bob Urso's book, "The Tiniest Guns", third edition, except this one is 4 11/16" long. The one shown in Urso's book is 4 1/8" long, so this is a decidedly longer variation.  Described in Urso's book as follows: "The Japanese rifles had an interesting profile, but were of simpler construction than the Austrian rifles.  The barrel lock pin and side spring are gone.  The barrel being held in place by friction on a dimple on the barrel tab.  They had a mock checkering pressed into the side of the stock."  Construction is similar to the Japanese pistols with 3 layers of die stamped brass riveted together, then nickel plated.  This rifle is marked "JAPAN" at the very top of the middle of the buttstock on the left side.  The end of the barrel is plugged and it vents out the top.  Nice condition showing some wear through of the nickel plating and freckling, especially on the right side, but no obvious corrosion from firing as many do.

Checkered hammer spur.  Blue front sight.  Early blackpowder "pinched" frame with round "Bullseye" ejector rod button.  Fully functional, but non-firing.  Complete with a cheap walnut hinged top case with flip up latch.

Little-45-3423-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
.
This is a "Little .45" toy cap gun made in the mid 1950's by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co. of Hollywood, Calif.  Described in Bob Urso's book, The Tiniest Guns, Third Edition, and used with permission.

"Manufactured by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co. of Hollywood, California, and marketed as the Frontier "45". On much of it's literature it was also referenced to as the "Little .45". A difficult to classify miniature, although modeled after the Colt Frontier Single Action Army revolver, it is not a true miniature of that gun. The Frontier "45" is a six shot, single action, revolver with a hand rotated cylinder. At 3 1/2" OAL, this little beauty is much nicer than a toy, but not quite a true miniature. Manufactured in the 1950's it has more detail, and is more functional than the best of the toy miniatures. It's barrel (cylinder) rotates. It has half and full cock. It has a flip down, side loading gate, and fires brass, percussion cap-like ammunition. Expended shells (caps) are ejected with a functioning spring loaded ejector, just like on the real thing. It is unusual in that the complete trigger guard acts as its trigger and is pulled back to fire. ... The clean finish on these guns suggest that they are sturdy little pieces. They were however, cast in pot metal. It is the care that was taken in finishing these guns that makes them look more substantial than they actually are. ... This is a popular gun with collectors and a relatively difficult gun to find."

This set is complete with the original walnut hinged top casing. The bottom French fit in dark brown/burgundy velvet.  Also includes the plastic cartridge cap container that is missing the bullet or projectile portion.  It does have the original cotton wadding and 10 original unfired copper caps.  The pistol is serial numbered  3423 on the bottom of the frame. Near mint condition and shows little signs of ever being fired except for on the nipples.  99% of the original nickel finish remains, and the mother of pearl grips are perfect.

LH-Smith-Rem-VP-pr-27-28-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
. 
This is undoubtedly the worst condition 1/3 scale cased pair of Remington Elliott "Mississippi" derringers, made by master miniature maker Larry Smith, that I have ever seen.  Both measure 1 9/16" long overall with 13/16" long barrels.  Both have mother of pearl two piece grips. They are not engraved, and were originally finished in fire blue.  Both have the proper Remington barrel address hand engraved on top of the barrel and both are engraved "L.H. SMITH" on the bottom of the butt. They are numbered on the bottom of the barrel and frame 27 & 28. Complete with the original Larry Smith walnut hinged top casing with push button latch. The interior English fit and lined in a moss green velour.  Accessories include a cleaning rod and 10 solid brass miniature dummy .41 rimfire cartridges. The bottom of the casing stamped "-L.H.-, SMITH, R F -27 & 28, in three lines.  This set went through Hurricane Katrina.  They did not get wet, but were on a shelf closet in a home that was flooded with several feed of sea water.  I sent the set back to Larry Smith to see if he could restore them.  Larry restored the wood part of the case, the cleaning rod, and the cartridges.  The two guns he cleaned up a little, then he returned the set.  He said he just did not have time to get to them, maybe for several years.  The interior velour shows stains from rust, and really should be relined.  The two pistols have some rust, and still have a good portion of the original fire blue finish.  Number 27 could probably be re-polished and re-blued to look as new.  Number 28 has some pretty serious pitting on both sides of the frame.  It could be cleaned up, re-polished, and re-blued, but the pits would still show.  It's possible someone might micro weld up the pits to make a satisfactory restoration.  Both guns function properly.  This job is way past my skill level, so I am selling the set "as is".  Priced accordingly.  Here's a nice project for one of you budding miniature makers!

Little-45-pair-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is an original factory cased pair of "Little .45" toy cap guns made in the mid 1950's by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co. of Hollywood, Calif.  I have seen several factory cased pairs over the years, but this is the first pair I've ever seen with consecutive serial numbers.  Described in Bob Urso's book, The Tiniest Guns, Third Edition, and used with permission.  

"Manufactured by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co. of Hollywood, California, and marketed as the Frontier "45".  On much of it's literature it was also referenced to as the "Little .45".  A difficult to classify miniature, although modeled after the Colt Frontier Single Action Army revolver, it is not a true miniature of that gun.  The Frontier "45" is a six shot, single action, revolver with a hand rotated cylinder.  At 3 1/2" OAL, this little beauty is much nicer than a toy, but not quite a true miniature.  Manufactured in the 1950's it has more detail, and is more functional than the best of the toy miniatures.  It's barrel (cylinder) rotates.  It has half and full cock.  It has a flip down, side loading gate, and fires brass, percussion cap-like ammunition.  Expended shells (caps) are ejected with a functioning spring loaded ejector, just like on the real thing.  It is unusual in that the complete trigger guard acts as its trigger and is pulled back to fire.  ...  The clean finish on these guns suggest that they are sturdy little pieces.  They were however, cast in pot metal.  It is the care that was taken in finishing these guns that makes them look more substantial than they actually are.  ...  This is a popular gun with collectors and a relatively difficult gun to find." 

This set is complete with the original walnut hinged top casing.  The bottom French fit in black velvet.  Also includes the plastic cartridge cap container, and five original copper caps.  The plastic bullet shaped cap container is unusual in that the bullet and about 2/5 of the case are painted silver with the balance of the case a copper color.  The two pistols are serial numbered 2870 and 2871 on the bottom of the frame.  They are both in near mint condition and shows no signs of ever being fired except for on the nipples.  99% of the original nickel finish remains and the mother of pearl grips are perfect.  The plastic cartridge case has several small case mouth splits.
