We are delighted to share with you our September 11th & 12th, 2025 Fine Sporting Arms Catalog!

This auction is our 2nd two day sale since this division’s inception. We couldn’t be more proud to share this fantastic offering. This sale represents our most diverse and broad offering to date with something available at literally every level of collecting, shooting, and investing. Most notably, this auction has a wonderful selection of collectible firearms in virtually every genre of sporting arms known to mankind!

Our sporting arms division was developed with an emphasis on both quality and keen focus on celebrating the sporting life. Our auctions aren’t just fine arms sales, they will always include some of the peripheral objects to fine firearms. You’ll notice in this catalog a good selection of fine sporting art and sporting advertising as well as a selection of fine watches, collectible duck decoys, and other important objects that align closely with the sporting life.

Another important aspect of our Fine Sporting Arms Division is our emphasis on fair and honest presentation of our consignors’ material. To that end, we are ecstatic to share that our division has recently been honored by the National Auctions Association (NAA). At the 2025 NAA Conference & Show, we were honored to have been awarded “Best Brochure” in the personal assets category for our Fine Sporting Arms Catalogs! The NAA is an international organization made up of nearly 3,000 auction professionals from around the world and this award recognizes our efforts in building these catalogs as both a marketing tool and a reference object built for beauty and with passion. The award validates what we believe about our catalogs and the content we create for them—they are an important tool for both our buyers and our sellers and making them great is something we strive to continue to do.

Enjoy the catalog! More importantly, tag a few items you’d like to talk to us about and give us a call to discuss them. We’re here to help make your acquisition process smooth and fun. We want to make sure you get what you’re looking for and we hope you’ll join us for a preview at your convenience by appointment, or at our preview day from 9AM EST onward Wednesday September 10th, 2025. Starting at 4pm, we’ll have a cocktail party with oysters and all the fixin’s. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our entire team is here to help you participate in this sale. Give us a call with any questions you might have.

Good luck at the auction and THANK YOU for your shared passion of The Sporting Life.

Sincerely-

Josh Loewensteiner (Fine Sporting Arms Division Head)

Terms & Conditions For Our Bidders & Buyers – Please Read

1. GUYETTE AND DEETER WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOUR BIDDING EXPERIENCE AND PARTICIPATION IN OUR AUCTIONS AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE Whether you are bidding live, absentee, or by phone, we ask that before you bid in any manner that you satisfy any and all of your questions, so that you will feel confident in placing bids with us and have all of the information you need. All of the items we offer have been pre-owned, handled, and used. As such, we strongly suggest you call or email us with any inquiries. Contact us 48 hours prior to the Auction to get any questions and/or condition reports on the items that interest you. We will work to answer all questions and additional photo requests but do not guarantee we will be able to do so. Additional content provided in any conversation, written or otherwise, will not be part of the guaranteed condition reports unless expressly stated by the auctioneer from the podium prior to the auction.

2. THE AUCTIONEER IS THE SOLE DETERMINANT AS TO WHO IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER At the Auctioneer’s discretion, an item may be reoffered for sale if a dispute arises. Auctioneer’s sale recording shall be conclusive as to who was the successful purchaser and the purchase price. If there is no apparent interest in an item (at half of the catalog low estimate) or an appreciable opening bid, (when no catalog estimate is printed), the item will be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and will not be re-offered again for sale during this auction. The lot may be available at a later date, after the auction has concluded.

3. SALES TAX Must be charged to all successful bidders in compliance with all local, State, and Federal laws.

* Maryland residents who do not present a valid ANNUAL RESALE CERTIFICATE at the time of registration will have to pay the current Maryland State sales tax. (6%). NO EXCEPTIONS.

* Under Maryland law, items to be shipped within Maryland will have the tax applied.

* If you reside in the state of Maryland, but maintain an out of state tax number, you must pay sales tax. This is Maryland law.

* Out of State residents. If you are not a Maryland resident, items shipped to some out of state residents may be charged sales tax by your receiving dealer. If your state requires our company to collect the recipient’s state sales tax, we may do so. If we ship your item out of state and are not required to collect the state sales tax, we will not.

4. BUYERS PREMIUM The buyer’s premium, assessed on each selling lot, is 20% of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000, plus 15% on any amount in excess of $1,000,000. This amount will be added to the hammer price and collected by the auctioneer.

A. For payments made using a credit card, the buyer’s premium is 23% up to and including $1,000,000, plus 18% on any amount in excess of $1,000,000. This amount will be added to the hammer price and collected by the auctioneer.

5. GUARANTEE AND DESCRIPTIONS We have made a painstaking effort to honestly and accurately catalog and describe the property to be sold. All items in this catalog have guaranteed condition reports. Should the need arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale and this additional information will be part of the guarantee. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. Absentee bids may or may not be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog at the auctioneer’s discretion. Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter of condition, the auctioneer will be sole judge in the matter of refunds. If we fail to identify a major flaw that has a major impact on the value, the

auctioneer will absolutely consider a full refund. This guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it. Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves on the age, authenticity, condition, description, and value of each lot before bidding. This includes all bidders whether they attend the auction in person, bid via absentee, bid via agent, phone, or internet bidding.

6. DURATION OF GUARANTEE If you bid absentee, by phone, on the internet, or in person and have your item shipped, it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt and notify us of any serious issues. The Auctioneer must be notified of any issues within 2 days of receipt of your items. The guarantee will end 5 days from the date of delivery. Deliver is defined as delivered to your FFL for modern firearms, delivery to your home/business or requested address for antiques and other items in this auction. Therefore, all guarantees on items purchased will become null and void 10 calendar days from the date of shipment. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT PAY YOUR INVOICE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE AUCTION, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GUARANTEE. Payment must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the auction.

7. FOR IN PERSON LIVE AUCTION ATTENDEE BIDDERS It is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. Also, please check to make sure all components to your lots are there. All possibility of a refund is null and void once you have left our facility with the item(s).

8. ONLINE BIDDING PLATFORMS We incorporate several internet bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live from their web platforms. They charge our auction company a substantial fee to upload the auction materials to their platforms. Bid.guyetteanddeeter.com. has a 1% charge, other firms generally charge 3% - 5% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This amount is added on to your Buyers Premium on your invoice if you utilize any of the online bidding platforms that carry this auction.

9. RESERVES Occasionally an item may carry a conservative reserve above one half of the low estimate value. In this instance, the auctioneer retains the right to bid on behalf of the owner up to the reserve price. We will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you inquire. As a general business practice, reserves are usually a fraction of the low estimate and we do not allow reserves above the low estimate. Consignors Identification is considered confidential unless otherwise stated in the catalog. We will not give out this information unless we have prior approval from the consignor to do so or if the auctioneer deems sharing that information necessary.

10. PAYMENT All items must be paid for in United States Currency. We accept Cash, preapproved checks (business or personal), bank checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover & bank wire transfers. All items must be paid for in full before being removed from our facility. All fees associated with the cost of a wire transfer or bank check are those of the purchaser. Buyers must have valid driver’s license when paying by charge cards & checks. Checks are to be pre-approved by auctioneer prior to the auction. We require pre-approval at least 2 business days before the start of our auction and will NOT be able to consider approval of checks the day of the auction. A letter of reference from your bank is strongly recommended to those who have never done business with us before. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by checks that have not been pre-approved until we can see that the check has cleared the bank which is typically 3 business days but could take up to 10 business days. We will hold merchandise purchased by all first-time buyers until the first-time buyer’s check has cleared the bank. (This enables

the check to clear the bank and if it does not, then it gives the bank the time to notify us via U.S. mail which can take up to 10 days).

* There will be a $100 fee charged for all returned checks.

* Third party checks are not accepted under any circumstances! NO EXCEPTIONS.

Note: Our goal is to provide best in class service with prompt and careful shipping of your goods. A delay in a buyer’s payment to us, means delay in the shipment of your goods to you. Unfortunately, a delay in shipment to you could mean you lose all possibility of a return and guarantee privilege, so we kindly ask you to please make a prompt payment. The speediest forms of payments are credit cards or bank checks. Personal or Business checks from first time buyers will hold the shipment up for 10 business days until checks have cleared our bank. This bank-imposed hold could jeopardize the warranties of the descriptions if the shipment occurs outside of our guarantee period or for other reasons.

11. AGENTS:

FIREARMS AGENT: You must have an agents letter registered with us before bidding on behalf of someone else on a Modern or Curio firearm. If you are representing some other FFL as an agent you must have the following to qualify:

1) You must have a letter from the FFL Holder you are representing.

2) Your agent letter must be on the company’s letterhead.

3) Must be typed.

4) Must be signed by the responsible person on the FFL.

5) Must be accompanied by a copy of the FFL.

6) Must state that you are an employee for the FFL Holder.

7) Must be dated.

Please Note: If you do not have a “completed” letter with ALL of the above requirements you will not be able to represent another FFL Holder in this capacity- NO EXCEPTIONS!

NON-FIREARMS AGENT: If you are registering or executing a bid for someone else, please bear in mind that you are responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person you’re executing or registering for pays you or not. As stated previously, we do not accept third party checks.

12. TITLE: The process of passing the title begins upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer or when announced as “sold” by the auctioneer. The title will pass once the auctioneer has received the full purchase price and any applicable expenses in clear funds.

* It is then the responsibility of the buyer to make full payment prior to removing the items from the premises.

* It is both the buyer’s risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made with Guyette and Deeter, Inc. All items to be packaged by the purchaser, unless the items are to be shipped by Guyette and Deeter, Inc. or a third party. Guyette and Deeter, Inc. will provide shipping as outlined in our terms and conditions below.

* If an item(s) cannot be removed on the sale date, storage may be arranged for an agreed amount of time. A fee of $100 per month – per item will be charged for any item(s) being left in our facility longer than 30 days from auction date. ALL ITEM(S) left will be at the purchaser’s risk and will under no circumstances be covered by Guyette and Deeter’s insurance., Guyette and Deeter Inc. is not liable for any damage or loss occurring during storage on behalf of the purchaser. Items will not be released to the purchaser until all storage fees and any other balance due to Guyette and Deeter. is paid in full. Fees continue until the balance has been paid in full.

* IF CONTACT CANNOT BE MADE WITH THE BUYER TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PAYMENT AND SHIPPING WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE AUCTION THE AUCTIONEER RESERVES THE RIGHT

TO OFFER THE ITEM TO THE backup bidder.

A. THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE FULL KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHETHER THE ITEM THEY ARE BIDDING ON IS LEGAL FOR THEM TO POSSESS OR IMPORT INTO THEIR RESIDENT STATE OR COUNTRY: If a buyer purchases an item that is either illegal to possess in their resident state or will not be cleared through customs, the buyer is responsible for the purchase and will not be issued a refund. The item determined illegal in their resident state or country will be offered in the next auction and a seller’s commission and restocking fee will be deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the item(s) resold on behalf of the purchaser.

NOTE: Guyette and Deeter Inc. will not change the name or amount on an invoice, or alter any paperwork in any manner for any item.

B. WITHDRAWALS: We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability for such withdrawal. Withdrawal can be made at any time up until the gavel has fallen and the auctioneer has declared the item to be “SOLD”.

13. ABSENTEE & PHONE BIDS: Absentee bidding is a free service we provide to our customers. Bidding on items shows that you agree with all terms & conditions of bidding.

* We accept Absentee & Phone bids with the condition that bids are communicated clearly and that a lot number & brief description of each lot is written out. PLEASE NOTE: IF A BIDDER MISIDENTIFIES A LOT NUMBER OR ITEM THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON RESULTING IN THE PURCHASE OF THE LOT(S) IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER TO PAY FOR THE PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH S/HE MADE AN ERROR WHEN BIDDING ON THE LOT(S). Guyette and Deeter, Inc. is not responsible for these errors with absentee bids.

* Guyette and Deeter, Inc. shall not be held responsible in any form for any failure to properly execute an absentee or phone bid whether it be due to equipment failure, lack of description on bid form, clerical error, loss of connection or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions, etc.

* Absentee and Phone bidders must review their bids for correctness prior to submitting their bid(s) and our phone clerks may ask to confirm them with you as well. We ask that you supply an email address when the bids are processed, and you will then be sent a copy of your entered phone and/or absentee bids. Please review this and determine if any corrections should be made. We ask that you notify us immediately with any corrections or changes you may have. Guyette and Deeter, Inc. will not be responsible in any form for errors in absentee bids and/or phone bids.

* If you do not receive confirmation by email/phone within 24 hours of submitting your bids please, contact our office. We ask that all phone and absentee bids be submitted at a minimum of 24 hours prior the auction, bids submitted less than 24 hours prior to the start of the auction may or may not receive an email/phone confirmation and we do not guarantee we can execute phone and absentee bids received less than 24 hours prior to the start of the auction. We want to be sure we have your bids and will do our best to make certain for accuracy in processing all bids. We ask that all bids be made 24 hours prior to the auction.

* Under certain circumstances we may make a verbal correction from the auction block at the time of sale. In this case absentee bids left on an item will be considered void unless we can confer with the bidder prior to the item being sold.

* All absentee and phone bids must be accompanied by a credit card in order to secure bids.

* Invoices will be emailed out within 72 business hours of the end of the final auction day A. ABSENTEE BIDDING:

* Absentee bids must be in by the start of the auction. Please try to get them in at least by 5:00 PM EST the day prior to auction. If you wait and place your bids just moments prior to the start of the auction we cannot guarantee that your bids will get placed.

* We do accept +1 bids as well as +2, +3 bids.

* During our auction, our auctioneer accepts bids that end in 0 or 5 only. Bids that are placed in amounts other than those ending in “0” or “5” such as $704.00 or $700.04 will be lowered to the closest amount ending in 0 or 5. We will not raise a bid higher without prior permission from our bidder. Bid advances are taken at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. Minuscule advances generally will not be accepted by the auctioneer and will be turned down. Typical advances are 5% or more of the current bid level, though the auctioneer will be the sole determinate in accepting any advance at any amount.

* A staff member will competitively bid for the absentee bidder. We generally let the audience start the bidding unless there is more than one bid in the auctioneer’s bid book. If there is more than one bid, then the bidding will be started above the under-bidder’s bid.

I.E.: We have an absentee bid for $2500 and another competing bid at $3500. The bidding will then start at $2750 and will then be bid competitively to the limit the absentee bidder set. For this reason, it is possible that an absentee bidder may get their item for much less than what they bid. In the case of two bids being the same amount the bidding will start at that amount and the winner shall be the person who submitted their bid to Guyette and Deeter, Inc. first. * Please note: Being the first ABSENTEE BIDDER does not guarantee that you will be the winning bidder if the floor, phone or internet bidding ties during the live auction. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. The date and time that you submit a bid only determines the winning bidder between two absentee bidders with the same amount.

* We do our best to execute all bids correctly however, errors can be made at times. In the event of an error or omission or failure to properly execute a bid, the auctioneer shall not be held liable in any form.

* All left bids are confidential between the bidder and Guyette and Deeter, Inc, and as such the names of the absentee bidders and the actual bid amounts will never be given shared.

* We cannot accept a bid that does not have a dollar amount associated with it. We suggest that you place a bid substantially higher than the estimate and what you would be comfortable paying for the item, without regard to the pre-auction estimate. We cannot accept a bid with instructions to “just buy the item” under any circumstances.

B. PHONE BIDDING:

As a courtesy to our auction team, all requests for phone bidding should be made before 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone bidding schedule. Phone bids entered after this time can be difficult/ impossible for our team to accommodate.

* All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder. Guyette and Deeter, Inc. will be in no way responsible for any errors, omissions, missed calls, bids, etc. for any phone bids.

* We reserve the right to reject phone bids on any items for any reason.

* To be a Phone Bidder you must be willing to start an item for 1/2 of the low pre-auction estimate.

* Please note: The employee calling you may be calling from a personal cell phone which does not belong to Guyette and Deeter, Inc. Please do not attempt to contact the telephone line that has contacted you for phone bidding services, the person will likely not answer. If you have any questions during and after the auction, please contact our offices at (410) 745-0485 to reach a staff member. Typically, our phone bidding clerks will try to call you 3-5 lots before the lot(s) you are interested in. If you are a phone bidder on multiple items throughout the auction, there is a high likelihood you will be phone bidding with a number of different staff members throughout the auction.

* During the auction there is a vast amount of information changing hands at a fast pace and the staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will

be very busy concentrating on the current lot being offered. Our goal is to get your bids executed accurately and expeditiously so as not to miss any item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We do not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations courteous, professional, and brief.

* If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints that the bidding clerk may have.

* Emergency Bids: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for any number of reasons to get through to the client on the telephone. An Emergency Bid is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this Emergency Bid is if they cannot get through to you on the phone. If the phone bidding clerk reaches you by phone, the cover me bid is discarded and you will be bidding live.

14. NOTIFICATION OF SUCCESS: Successful bidders are contacted after the auction ends. To expedite the process, we ask that you fill out and send in the “Payment & Shipping” Forms as well as the copy of the FFL or C&R that you intend to use along with your bid sheets. If you are paying by Credit Card for your purchase, please make sure you check the appropriate box for this or remark somewhere on your bid sheet that we are to charge your card for purchases as well as expenses associated with your shipments. If you have done this and included all your paperwork for your items, then your invoice will be expedited to our shipping team and be at the front of the line. We may also attempt to contact bidders via fax, U.S. Mail, email, or other methods.

15. INTEREST & DEFAULT: Payment is expected immediately following the sale. Any items not paid for within 30 business days of the auction, Guyette and Deeter, Inc. retains the right and will charge the buyers credit card for the total amount due. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1 1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 30 days from the date of purchase/auction. Should the buyer not comply with any of the Terms & Conditions of Sale, the damage recoverable from the defaulter shall include any loss arising on the resale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales as well as any legal or collection fees incurred. Guyette and Deeter, Inc. shall hold any money deposited in partial payment on account of any liability of the defaulted item.

16. SHIPPING: Guyette and Deeter, Inc. makes every attempt to ship your goods in a timely fashion. Because of the high volume of items being shipped and delays that shipping carriers deal with during various times throughout the year, please allow 2-3 weeks for your items to be delivered after all paperwork and full payment is received and applied. The following is our shipping policy and shipping/handling/box and insurance charges. Any modern handguns offered in this sale will be available for preview on the auction preview day only. They will be shipped from Lion Stone Consulting, LLC, in Matthews, North Carolina and will not be available for local pickup. Handguns will ship to your local FFL only. As stated above, you are responsible for knowing your local, state, and federal laws and eligibility when bidding. We will not cancel any sales for eligibility.

A. SHIPPING CHARGES

:

Hard Cases: Upon special request, we may be able to obtain hard cases to ship your guns to you in. The cost of the case will be added to your shipping charges. Hard cases may or may not be available at the time of shipment.

Handling charges: Each item purchased in our auction will be accessed a handling charge prior to shipping. Our shipping department charges an hourly rate as well as costs for

material to safely package your item.

Insurance Charges: A rate of 1% of the invoice price will be charged. This covers the Hammer & Buyers Premium only. This does not include shipping, nor does it include what you expected to get for the item if resold.

B. POLICIES:

We reserve the right to not ship an item if we feel that it is too fragile or bulky to be done safely. (i.e. decoys, art, delicate and/or oversized items, etc.)

We are happy to assist you in your shipping needs.

SUPERB GERMAN WHEELLOCK,

There are two unidentified marks at the breech. This gun’s styling is attributed to the East German Saxony region, which is famous for producing some of the earliest wheellocks. White stag-horn animals and plant-like motifs are inlet throughout the fruitwood stock. The lock has a gilded wheel cover with two lions, while the gilded pan release button is in the form of a winged angel. The hammer is engraved with the jaw in the shape of a swan. The gun has set triggers. The trigger guard is plainly engraved, as is common with many wheellocks.

The octagonal barrel is swamped and has a rear sight and brass foresight. A large, engraved stag piece holds the ramrod forward while the muzzle cap is also engraved stag horn as is the tip of the ramrod, patch box lid, and buttplate. The rifle includes a rare wool-covered rod to keep moisture out of the barrel when stored. Wheellocks were introduced in Europe at the end of the fifteenth century and were not made in America, and most of those we see in this country were brought over by WWII veterans or purchased later by American tourists or museums. This was a rugged system, and the parts of this gun still function as intended. Decorations on the wheellock evolved into those with inlaid embellishments of animals, and soldiers, and in some cases, complete stories were told in bone inlays from one end of the gun to the other. Wheellocks are prized by museums and collectors worldwide.

CONDITION: General condition is excellent with none of the usual missing or damaged inlays. The end plate of the sliding patchbox lid has a few small dents. The barrel is sharp with no rusting, and the bore is very clean. The gilding is lightly worn, and there is a small covering piece, likely gilded, missing at the foot of the dog spring. There is a small chip out of the base of the cock which is hardly seen. There is a ¾” piece of wood replaced midway in the top edge of the stock at the barrel, and a break at the stock near the cheek, otherwise, the stock is in amazingly good condition with only the expected dings and scratches. Overall, this wheellock is found in surprisingly good condition for a 350-year-old gun. 2296. PROVENANCE: Joe Kindig, Jr. (9,000-15,000)

Gunmaker of Vienna in 1757. It is known he supplied numerous sporting guns to the royal families of Austria. Inside one of the gun’s patch boxes is a note that appears to be by Joe Kindig, Jr., the previous owner. The note states: “Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria

as these is rare. CONDITION: Rifle number 2: Overall excellent. A one-inch sliver of wood is missing from the forestock at the barrel. There is a crack in the wood at the forward end of the stock at the ramrod pipe. The rear shoulder strap screw is a replacement. There is a 7/8” shallow gash in the stock just above the patchbox and some minor dents at the end of the box. The lock is working but needs a tune-up. Ramrod appears original.Rifle number 9: Overall excellent. A one-inch sliver of wood is missing from the forestock at the barrel. The stock is cracked at the forward end, at the muzzle and barrel pins are protruding. Ramrod appears original.

PAIR OF RARE ENGLISH POCKET PISTOLS BY ROBERT HARUEY, LONDON c1715. OA 6”, 3” barrels, Cal .45. smooth bore. Pistols marked on top, Rob T Haruey (Harvey), with London proof marks. Rounded banana-shaped flintlock plates. Steel octagon-to-round engraved twist-off barrels with cannon muzzles. Engraved brass side plates, fore-end plate, and trigger plate. Baluster triggers without a guard. Walnut stocks are carved at the tang and tail of the locks. A diminutive pair of very early twist-off pistols with barrels in the Queen Anne style. Robert T. Harvey, occasionally spelled his name with a “U”. He was active in London from 1702 until 1734 and became master of the London Gunmakers Company in 1725, in the earliest years of Britain’s famed flintlock pistol development. He died in 1734. CONDITION: Both pistols are in excellent condition with only minor issues. One pistol shows shallow scratches on the brass trigger plate and on the same pistol, a small part of the tail of the lockplate is missing. The other pistol shows a stabilized crack just above the side plate. Both locks work with strong springs and opening twist barrels. The bores are clean and show little

with other unknown marks. The barrel is Spanish with seven gold cross inlays as seen on barrels made in Madrid. The walnut stock is carved, outlining the lock and sideplate. All the hardware is engraved or cast brass, with generous sheet brass pieces around the tang and the ramrod opening. Freconnect was one of the large family of gunsmiths working in the early part of the 18th century in Saint Etienne, France’s capital of gunmaking. While Paris is better known as the home of high-art firearms, Saint Etienne became the center for military and commercial gun making. This style of pistol was made for export, particularly for the Middle East market. An attractive early pistol. CONDITION: Generally, in good condition with minor dings and scratches. The wood-to-metal fit is off in some places, the single ramrod pipe is loose and cut, and the ramrod appears to be period. The barrel and lock plate are scratched, and barrel wall is thin with the bore rough. Lock is working. 2298. PROVENANCE: Joe Kindig, Jr. (1,500-3,000)

VARIANT OF THE U.S. CONTRACT MUSKET c1850, NEW YORK.

Round tail flintlock with roller frizzen marked, I.P. Moore Warranted. Walnut stock with cross-hatched wrist. All steel hardware with three barrel rings. A small silver nameplate at the tang and lack of military marks indicate this may have been a rifle intended for a civilian market. Moore was a gunsmith who ran a military store on Broadway, Manhattan, NYC from 1820 until 1880. Moore likely imported this musket, including the lock, which appears to be British made. This musket is a variant of the original French 1766 style musket, which spawned a variety of similar musket models through the War of 1812 into the Civil War. For years, the basic model was contracted by the government to numerous gun makers to supply state militias. Since this gun has no other marks than the name on the lock, it is impossible to define the actual maker or exact location of the militia assigned, or as stated above, it may have been intended for civilian use. CONDITION: The gun is intact with all original hardware, which is an even mottled gray tone. The surface of the stock shows the expected dings and scratches. There is a 6” crack with a small sliver of wood missing forward of the sideplate. The barrel surface lacks any rust, but the bore is rough. The touch hole is offset from the center of the pan, the lock is tight and working. 2304. PROVENANCE: Joe Kindig, Jr. (850-1,200)

AMERICAN LONG RIFLE, HENRY LECHLER, LANCASTER

Lancaster style “daisy” finial brass patchbox and hardware. Simulated grain-painted maple stock, no carving. The flintlock with roller frizzen and semi-waterproof pan is faintly marked H. Lechler, although it is unlikely he made the lock. Lechler apprenticed in Lancaster and later worked in different Southeastern Pennsylvania towns in the first half of the 19th century. He served as superintendent of the Springfield Armory, MA, in 1813. This is a nice, long American rifle in need of some tender care and restoration. CONDITION: Below the lock, there is a crack and signs of previous repair efforts. Small cracks are found around the tang. A stabilized crack exists on the stock just above the trigger guard tail. There is a piece of stock replaced at the first ramrod pipe. A ¼” x 8” piece of the stock has been replaced above the forward pipe at the muzzle. The muzzle cap is a replacement. The bore is worn, and the lock is not working. The surface has been re-varnished. The rifle has issues, but it’s mostly there, just needs some minor restoration. 2302. (1,500-2,500)

hatching at the wrist. Rifles by either of these master gunsmiths are difficult to discern, given their similarities and the high-quality build of both gunsmiths. The expert engraving and creativity of the brass hardware are superior to most long rifles. Unfortunately, this one-time masterpiece has seen better days, but it well deserves competent restoration. CONDITION: The barrel has been cut at the muzzle end 3”. The bore is rough. Nine inches of the stock forward has been replaced. The forward decorative screw head of the two-piece sideplate is missing. There is damage around the forward ramrod pipe, but the silver is intact. The lock is not working. 2300. (600-1,000)

1857. John Lovell was a large Boston merchant who marketed firearms, bicycles, fishing tackle, and other sporting items. It is not known who assembled the stock and parts, as Lovell made no guns or parts. He was a wholesaler selling Colt, Winchester, and Parker shotguns, as well as many other lesser gun makers. His catalog once listed a Greener “far killing duck gun” among his products. This gun has a strong walnut stock, with a bone nose cap and an original percussion lock with a very large trigger guard. It is a sturdy, heavy gun, nicely made, which represents the higher end of the professionally made market hunting guns as opposed to the crude “punt” guns. CONDITION: This gun didn’t spend much time in the marsh, as it is in surprisingly good condition. The stock has the usual minor dings with the metal parts smooth and rust-free. The bore is dirty but shows no rust and only light use. The ramrod appears original. The lock is crisp and working. 2338. (6,000-8,000)

c1770. OA 31” Hollow ground triangular steel blade, all silver hilt. Sword has 4 English silver marks: London passant mark, WF for William Flint, London assay mark, and date mark R for 1772. William Flint is shown in Grimwade London Goldsmiths as a silver hilt maker working in the Friars, London, with his mark entered in 1768. This is considered a “gentleman’s court sword”, carried for special occasions, where status and a show of wealth are as important as selfdefense. An impressive example of high art English sword making – a great showpiece. CONDITION: Excellent overall with no issues. 2370. PROVENANCE: From the Peter Tillou Collection, Litchfield. (2,000-3,000)

WONDERFUL FRENCH & INDIAN WAR POWDER HORN, DATED 1758. 13” OA, 3” walnut convex butt plate. This is a rare carved and finely engraved F&I War powder horn inscribed Onidia, Sep 30, 1758 John Lucas His horn. Extensive research (included with the horn) indicates this horn was owned by Lucas, a Connecticut-born soldier serving in the Third Connecticut Regiment from 1755 to 1762. TheOnidia inscription, spelled variously for the area around Oneida Lake, New York, where he served, was an important junction during the war, where the Oneida Carry portage, Fort William Henry, Fort Oswego, and Fort Stanwix are recognized as strategic military points of the F&I War. Given the date on the horn, it is likely Lucas was near Fort Stanwix at the time, as the fort’s construction began only one month before the September date on his horn. Fort Stanwix continued as an important military site during the American Revolution, and is still standing today as a U.S. National Park near Rome, New York. Beyond the name inscription, the body has interesting, engraved images of a large mermaid, birds, fish, rabbits, snakes, and plants that cover the surface. Period wrought iron nails hold the butt plate, and the throat is carved and dyed in a contrasting darker color. This is a historic American powder horn with a known backstory. CONDITION: Fine condition, all intact original surface, appears to be the original butt and nails. “O” in the word Onidia appears period added. 96455.
