Neaves-FL-Pistol-GN3-1.JPG

This is a 2/5 scale flintlock Kentucky pistol by Gerald Neaves.  6 7/8" long overall with a 4 1/2" octagon rifled barrel of .30 caliber.  Browned steel lock and barrel, brass furniture, hickory ramrod.  Nicely striped fiddleback maple one piece stock.  There is a circular silver escutcheon inlet into the top of the wrist, and the backplate looks to be silver.  Dovetailed blade front and "V" notched rear sights.  The top of the barrel marked G N - 3 -, which would make this the third piece that Gerald made.  The frizzen spring looks to be a recent replacement.  The hammer will not lock back.  I have looked at the internals of the lock and I think it just needs a little filing and fine tuning to make it work properly.  The hammer will cock when removed, so shouldn't take much to repair it.  Priced accordingly.

Antique-2mm-rf-rev-1-1.JPG

This is an antique 2mm rimfire double action six shot revolver, probably made in Germany or Belgium in the 1870's. This is a fully functional and shooting miniature revolver and shoots the antique thin rim 2mm rimfire cartridges. 1 15/16" long overall with a 13/16" barrel. Nicely engraved, gold plated finish. About 70% original gold plated finish finish remains, the balance a smooth gray patina. Two piece mother of pearl grips. The cylinder turns and indexes when the trigger is pulled, but the hamer does not cock & drop.  Will not cock in single action either.  The hammer and trigger springs are both good, so it's something in the linkage between the trigger, hammer, & sear that will need adjustment or repair.  Priced accordingly.

Baez-white-gold-1911-1.JPG

This is a 1/5 scale Colt 1911 A-1 by master jeweler Alex Baez of Los Angeles, Ca.  All parts of this beautiful miniature are made from 14 karat white gold with the exception of the steel springs and the elephant ivory grips.  1 23/32" long overall with a 23/32" barrel.  The sides of the frame and slide are polished with the top and bottom being a mat finish.  Fully functional, this miniature will feed, chamber, extract, and eject the included six solid yellow brass dummy cartridges.  Complete with the original Baez black leatherette hinged top jewelry box casing with clear see through top and flip up latch.  The miniature has .7 ounces of 14K gold, which translates to a little more than .4 ounces of pure 24K gold.  So just the value of the gold alone is about $640.00 in today's market.

Antique-2mm-rf-rev-3-1.JPG

This is an antique 2mm rimfire double action six shot revolver, probably made in Germany or Belgium in the 1870's. This is a fully functional and shooting miniature revolver and shoots the antique thin rim 2mm rimfire cartridges. 2 1/16" long overall with a 27/32" barrel. Nicely engraved, gold plated finish. Nice condition with about 95% original gold plated finish finish. Two piece mother of pearl grips. Complete with the original lanyard ring. Works perfectly in both single and double action with a really crisp and strong action.  This miniature has a much bigger, wider, and stronger frame, along with much bigger grips than most, and may be the first I've ever seen like this.

Bilbow-stone-crossbow-1.JPG

!!!!!Note, new information recently added!!!!!
. 
This is a 1/4 scale stone throwing crossbow by master miniature maker Alan Bilbow.  The hand carved wood stock measures 9 1/4" long, the steel bow measures 6 1/4 across.  Unbelievable workmanship and attention to detail.  Fully functional and shoot-able!  Lots and lots of detail carving and sculpting of the metal parts.  Double braided bowstring.  I think the photos can tell the story better than I can.  This exact piece was previously on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York City, when it was in the collection of Merrill Lindsay.  Mr. Lindsay was the curator of the museum at that time, and he also wrote the well known book "Miniature Arms".  This exact crossbow was also on display at the Eli Whitney Museum when it was in the collection of well known miniature collector and author Herschel Kopp.
