!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/2 scale Colt baby Paterson
percussion five shot revolver by the renown master miniature maker Tom P. Weston of Mexico City, Mexico. Probably made

Beautiful charcoal blue finished steel. On piece straight grained walnut grips. Fully functional and shootable

are still in high contrast to the surrounding charcoal blue. Complete with the original Weston hinged top walnut casing

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

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! !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!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!!!!!

finish, modestly engraved, with great ivory grips. Has both half cock and full cock on the hammer. Beautiful
mint original condition and the best one I have ever seen! !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

Includes a nice black plastic lift top casing with glass top and five solid brass lathe turned dummy cartridges. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!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!!!!!
|
!!!!!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. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! !!!!!Note
two line barrel address!!!!! This is a 47% scale miniature Colt Single Action Army revolver
model of 1873 with 4 3/4" barrel. Also known as the "Peacemaker" and the "Frontier six Shooter".
4 3/4" long overall with a 2 7/64" .21 caliber rifled barrel. Made by Uberti in Italy. Super rare two
line Colt barrel address laser engraved on top of the barrel by me with a YAG laser when I worked for IMA. One piece
walnut grips with some nice figure. 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, 1481, is stamped on the frame and triggerguard. 481
stamped into the bottom of the backstrap. 81 is stamped into the loading gate. Blue finish. 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. Stock # LC-16, !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!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. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!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!

!!!!!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

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. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
