This is a nice 47% scale Colt 1860 Army revolver by the United States Historical Society. These
were made for the USHS by Uberti in Italy under license from Colt. 6 3/8" long overall with a 3 3/4" rifled
barrel. This piece is one of the Presidential Editions and as such is very nicely engraved. It also features great
ivory grips, a charcoal blue and case colored finish, and gold plated trigger guard. Very low serial number, 45.
Has the proper roll marked Colt barrel address, the roll engraved Ormsby cylinder scene, and the Colt's Patent on the
left front of the frame. Fully functional. There is a small circular blemish to the blue on top of the barrel
just behind the front sight and a couple small freckles on the left side of the barrel lug below the engraving. Does
not include the typical USHS glass topped case, and priced accordingly. Perfect if you want to case it up in a contemporary
Colt type casing with accessories. 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 Price: $950.00

This
is a "Little .45" 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 piece is complete with the original plastic bullet cap container, 13
original caps, the original cotton wadding to keep the caps from rattling, the original instruction sheet/price list, and
the original walnut case. The price sheet shows the original cost of this to have been $27.50 in the 1950's, a ton of
money for a "toy" considering that's probably what my dad made in a week! Serial numbered "3825"
on the bottom of the frame. It is in near mint condition and shows no signs of ever being fired except for on the
nipples. 100% of the original nickel finish remains and the mother of pearl grips are perfect. The plastic cartridge
case has a small case mouth split. Absolutely the best one of these I've ever seen! 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 Price:

This a the 47% scale miniature Colt Single Action Army Revolver Model of 1873 with 7 1/2" barrel.
Also known as the "Peacemaker" and the "Frontier six Shooter". 6" long overall with a
3 9/16" .21 caliber rifled barrel. Made by Uberti in Italy. Varnished highly figured walnut grips. 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, 85456, is stamped on the frame, triggerguard, cylinder, and backstrap. 56 is stamped into the loading
gate. Blue and case colored finish, the case colors really nice and vibrant. Checkered hammer spur, early
blackpowder pinched frame topstrap, bullseye ejector rod button. Fully functional, but non-firing. There is a
small ding on the left grip panel, otherwise it is in mint condition. This piece must have been a special order for
someone wanting a miniature to match their original full sized Colt SAA as the normal Uberti serial numbers never went past
the mid four digit numbers. Complete with a nice finger jointed walnut hinged top casing with push button latch made
by Wayne Hoosier. The interior English fit in a medium blue felt. The interior of the lid has the proper Colt
instruction label. In addition, there are 29 solid brass dummy cartridges with W-W .45 COLT headstamps.

This
is a 1/2 scale Sharps 4 barrel derringer by the legendary Tom P. Weston of Mexico City, Mexico. 2 3/4" long overall
with a 1 1/2" barrel group. The steel parts are charcoal blue. The frame is yellow brass and is showing a
pleasing mellow aged patina. The grips are two piece ivory showing a beautiful patina and grain. The frame stamped
on both sides with the proper Sharps markings. This piece shoots the 2mm rim fire blank cartridges. This is a
revolver, but not in the typical sense. Whereas most revolvers have a revolving cylinder or barrel group, this revolver
has a revolving firing pin. 98% condition showing only minor handling wear to the high points. Complete with a
deluxe Weston mahogany casing having not only the typical glass top, but also a lid that protects the glass. I have
seen very few of these deluxe casings over the years. The casing French fit and lined in purple felt with red piping.
Accessories include a blue cleaning/extractor rod with ivory handle and brass ferule and a lift top tin with some 2mm rim
fire blanks. 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 Price:
