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. 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: $600.00

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. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6 Price: $1,000.00

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. . Price: $2,550.00

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. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6 Price: $2,500.00

!!!!!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. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12, Photo 13, Photo 14, Photo 15, Photo 16, Photo 17, Photo 18, Photo 19, Photo 20, Photo 21 Price: $3,000.00
