Tippmann-M2HB-0126-1.jpg

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is an awesome 1/2 scale Browning M2-HB miniature .50 caliber air cooled heavy machine gun made by the Tippmann Arms Co.  This is one of the original Dennis Tippmann guns made in Fort Wayne, Indiana, not one of the later Lakeside Machine made Tippmanns.  The photo above is a actual photo of this miniature. This fires .22 Winchester magnum rimfire ammunition semi-automatically. Since this is a firing, shooting, firearm, it must be shipped to a FFL dealer where all FFL procedures must be followed. This piece may not be legal to ship to, or to own, in some states.  Check your local laws to be sure you can receive and own this if you are interested.  31" long overall from the muzzle to the rear tripod legs. The .22 caliber rifled barrel is 16 3/4" long. Parkerized finish. Walnut spade grip handles and cocking lever handle. The Tippmann markings and the serial number, 061, stamped into the right rear of the receiver. The rear sight flips down to protect it when moving the piece or storing it in the crate. The tripod is removable. Includes the original Tippmann oak crate with leather carrying handles, the operations manual, two cloth belts, the traverse and elevation mechanism, and two ammo cans. The ammo cans are stinciled in yellow paint "100 CARTRIDGES, CAL. 22 W M R, h.p. - F.M.J., ++++BELTED, LOT TAC-85".  Near mint condition with only minor handling marks.  The belts show to have been loaded, but do not look to have been fired, so the gun may actually be unfired. The ultimate in "Big Boys Toys"! These are no longer available from Lakeside Machine.  A great piece and especially desirable as it is an early Fort Wayne Tippmann.  More photos soon.

FurrThird1883Gatling23-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

I just bought another 1/3 scale Furr 1883 carriage Gatling gun in .22 short rimfire.  The photo above is of the last one I sold.  Photos of the new Furr Gatling soon!

This is a 1/3 scale  Model 1883 Gatling gun on a brass field carriage made by the 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 is not classed as a class III machine gun. If you can own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, you can legally own this masterpiece 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!!!!! 

This is a 1/2 scale Winchester Model 1866 saddle ring Carbine by the renown Tom P. Weston of Mexico City, Mexico. Probably made in the 1950's or 1960's. 100% fully functional and chambered to shoot the .22 short rim fire cartridge. 20 3/4" long overall with a 10" .22 caliber rifled barrel. Brass frame, sideplates, cartridge lifter, crescent buttplate, and buttplate trapdoor. The balance of the metal parts are machined blued steel, except for the hammer, lever, and trigger which are case colored. The buttstock and forearm elephant ivory, the buttstock expertly carved in high relief on the left side of the butt with the Mexican eagle with snake on cactus motif. The frame engraved on both sides in a scroll and punch dot pattern with the Mexican eagle with snake on cactus repeated on both sides.  Checkered hammer spur. Complete with the original Weston deluxe case with very heavy beveled glass. The interior French fit in red felt. Includes a nice engraved brass plaque inscribed "MADE EXPRESSLEY FOR, JERRY BERGER, WINCHESTER, MODEL- 1866, BY TOM P. WESTON, MEXICO, D.F." in five lines.  This is the only cased Weston I have ever seen with such an inscription.  The rear of the case has two inlaid spring loaded brass hangers for mounting the case on the wall.  Also includes twelve .22 short action proving dummy cartridges. Those shown in the photos are live, and will be switched out for dummies when delivered.  There is even a beautiful functional blued three piece sectional cleaning rod in the trap in the buttstock. The serial number, 42, is stamped into the bottom of the frame just behind the trigger. The Weston markings are well stamped into the lower tang just behind the lever latch. The really wonderful thing about this particular Weston cased 1866 carbine, is the hidden Weston loading finger, which is located in a hidden compartment under the buttstock!  These Weston loading fingers are extremely rare, and this is only the third one I have ever seen.  I did not even know it was there, and found it while I was taking the photos!!!  The hidden compartment is covered with a loose piece of red felt that I thought was covering up some defect in the lining.  These fingers were used to load the last cartridge into the loading gate as most people's fingers were to large to get the last cartridge fully inserted.  Wonderful condition other than the case needs some minor work on the right end where the glass slides out.  I'd call the carbine  99%.  A truely "One of a Kind" piece!

No, it's not Mike Barrett! The hammer just moves back & forth from what appears to bew a broken hammer spring.  The trigger is good, and you can see the trigger move when the hammer is cycled back & forth, but the hammer won't catch, so the tumbler probably need some work as well.  Has a great look and feel to it. Will make a good project for someone, and is priced accordingly. More photos and details as soon as I figure out exactly what this is.

Hobbs on the rib between the barrels.  4 1/2" long overall with a 2 5/32" barrel group of .22 caliber.  The barrels are smoothbore.  A very interesting mechanism, to swivel the barrels, you grasp the barrel group which is spring loaded, pull forward, then swivel 180 degrees and the barrel group springs into place.    The side of the barrel group opposite of the name has a built up boss with a threaded hole that I think was for a ramrod.  There is a thin spring steel device projecting from the top of the frame and extending forward that looks to be to hold the percussion cap in place.  Very nice walnut one piece stock.  The action with a checkered brass sideplate on each side.  The triggerguard notched to allow for the travel of the hammer.  The metal is gray/brown and shows areas of having been lacquered.  The stock with 98% of what looks to be an old refinish.  There is a small crack in the stock on the upper right side just above the sideplate.  A very interesting piece!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

Winner of NRA Miniature silver medal #63 at the 2007 NRA annual meetings!  This is an exact 47% scale miniature of Colt 1860 Army revolver down to the serial # 162978E. Colt 1860 Army revolver serial #162978E was gold inlaid and engraved by Colt master engraver Gustave Young.

Mighty-Mite-Berloque-2mm-pinfire-MOC-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a mint new on the original card Mighty Mite 2mm pinfire Berloque blank pistol.  The card measures 2 27/32" X 2 1/16", and has the original plastic film covering.  This piece is listed as J7 in Bob Urso's book "The Tiniest Guns", third edition,  on page 70.  According to Urso "The Mighty Mite was marketed on a small red and black blister pack.  ".079 CALIBER", "MIDGET SIZE, GIANT BANG".  OAL 1 3/4", nickel plated brass with Aztec like horse design on grips.  Markings: "PAT.NO 707417" on side and "JAPAN" on bottom of barrel.  Barrel: vented through top".  This card stated the caliber as .073 CALIBER, which looking at the photo in Urso's book, there must be a misprint in the book as his photo shows .073 also.  Although the card states that this is complete with Ammunition and Ramrod, like the one pictured in Urso's book, there is no ammo.  This item has an orange, black, & white card, which may have faded from red.  This is the first one of these I have ever seen mint on the original card, but admittedly these are not my forte.  Near mint condition with just the smallest amount of handling.

Fish-hook-gun-4-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
.
This is not a miniature, but it is way cool!  It's a gadget gun!  This is a fish hook gun.  4 1/4" long, 2 3/4" wide.  It shoots the 4mm centerfire German Ubungsmunition 20, or 4mm centerfire Flobert.  The fish hook unscrews to insert the cartridge.  The hook is then supposedly baited, cocked, and the line let out.  When the fish takes the bait, you set the hook, and the gun goes off, killing or wounding the fish.  I have seen an original box with label that these came in, and I have seen a copy of the patent papers, so they are the real deal.  The patent drawings are shown in the Lewis Winant book Firearms Curiosa on page 261.  As I recall, these came 20 or 24 to a box, and they were wrapped in waxed sailcloth.  Blue steel finish with the firing pin and sear finished in the white.  Nice condition showing about 40% original rust blue, the balance turning a smooth plum brown.  One of these recently sold in the March James Julia auction for $7.5K!!!

AMGMCoLittle45-2-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

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!

Ring-gun-Le-Quatre-Morts-1.JPG

This is a 4 shot ring gun in 4mm pinfire made by an unknown maker.  There is a silver escutcheon inlaid into the top of the case that is hand engraved  Le Quarte Morts, and the back side of the ring is also hand engraved "Le Quatre Morts".  Le Quatre Morts translates to The Four Deaths.  The ring looks to be silver.  The barrel group, hammer, trigger, recoil shield, and spring are fire blued steel.  Unlike most ring guns I have seen over the years, this one has a clover leaf barrel group instead of round.  I do not have a ring sizer, but the inside of the ring measures .822.  The ring is 1.7" long overall.  The recoil shield is .675 in diameter.  Complete with a nice hinged top brown leather case with push button latch.  The interior lid lined in an off white silk.  The interior bottom French fit in a brown velour.  Included with the case is a small jeweler's screwdriver for removing the barrel to load the ring gun and also 4 4mm pinfire fired cases.  A similar ring gun was featured on the show "Pawn Stars" at an asking price of $9.5K.  The owner was offered $7K which he refused.  Another similar ring gun recently sold in the James Julia auction for over $21K!!!

I do not have a ring sizer, but the inside of the ring measures .818. The ring is 1.72" long overall. The recoil shield is .673 in diameter. Complete with a nice hinged top blue/black leather case. The interior French fit.   The bottom lined in a dark purple felt, the lid lined in a blue silk and marked "GEORGE TARRATT, MARKET STREET, LEICHESTER" in three lines. Included with the case is one small jeweler's screwdriver for removing the barrel to load the ring gun. Also included are 4 - 4mm pinfire fired cases. A similar ring gun was featured on the show "Pawn Stars" at an asking price of $9.5K. The owner was offered $7K which he refused. Another similar ring gun recently sold in the James Julia auction for over $21K!  Just this past September 2012, there were three ring guns in the Rock Island Auction.  Two were estimated to bring $3.5K - $5K and both sold for over $6.3K including the buyer's premium.  The third one was estimated at $5K - $8K and sold, but the price was not available.  It's obvious that interest is very high on these right now!  Mine is bargain priced compared to the auctions.

Ring-Gun-Ststem-Forsyth-Pellet-Primed-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
.
Well, here's something I've never seen before!  It's a 5 shot ring gun on the Forsyth System.  Instead of using the normal 4mm pinfire cartridge, or being percussion, this one is pellet primed, or a pill lock.  A pellet of mercury fulminate is inserted into each cavity on the back side of the cylinder.  A round lead ball of .130 is inserted into each cavity on the circumference of the cylinder.  The pellet of fulminate is both the priming mixture and the powder to fire the ball.  The pellet of fulminate will explode when hit by the hammer.  The ring looks to be silver, and is engraved "SYSTEM FORSYTH" on the back side along with some decorative stem & leaf.  The steel parts are fire blued and retain about 85% original thinning finish.  The inside of the ring measures .820.  The cylinder is .500 in diameter and .284 long.  Uses the same type trigger release on the side as the 4mm pinfire type ring guns.  Includes a hinged top brown leather casing with hook latches.  One hook is missing.  The lid inlaid with a silver oval that is engraved "SYSTEM FORSYTH".  The interior French fit and lined in a dark brown felt.  There are two compartments, but both are empty.  One probably for the screwdriver to remove the cylinder, the other maybe for the pellets and lead balls.  Truly unusual!

halfscaleColtSAA1.jpg

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a gorgeous true 50% or 1/2 scale Colt single action army revolver by an unknown maker.  6 3/8" long overall with a 3 11/16" rifled barrel of .22 caliber.  This would be the 7 1/2" barreled version.  This is very obviously larger than a 47% scale Uberti Colt SAA.  Highly polished engraved blue finish with gold plating and gold wire inlays.  The majority of the steel parts are blued with the exception of the hammer, trigger, cylinder pin, and ejector rod which are gold plated.  The barrel, frame, cylinder, ejector rod housing, backstrap, and triggerguard are expertly engraved with about 50% coverage.  There are double gold wire inlaid bands at the muzzle, just behind the front sight, at the rear of the barrel, and at the rear of the cylinder.  There is a single gold line wire inlaid along the bottom and rear of the frame.  Engraved nickel silver front sight, black powder frame, and round bullseye ejector rod button.  The barrel is properly marked with the Colt one line barrel address.  The left front side of the frame marked with the two Colt patent dates in two lines.  No serial numbers anywhere.  There is a cryptic marking on the bottom of the ejector rod housing which looks like a combination of the letters T, J, and F.  I don't know if this is the mark of the maker or maybe the engraver.  Beautiful high relief raised carved ivory grips showing a Mexican eagle, snake, and cactus.  The right grip showing a couple of age surface cracks running diagonally from the heal of the butt up to the hammer.  The cylinder will chamber a .22 rimfire cartridge, but the firing pin is centerfire, so it will not shoot them.  No casing or accessories.  Outstanding condition with just a little friction wear on the sides of the hammer.  I believe this to be a one-of-a-kind piece by a true master miniature maker of the equal of Ray Hutchens or Leon Crotett.

FurrThird1883Gatling23-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 1/3 scale  Model 1883 Gatling gun on a brass field cariage made by the reknown 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 black walnut spokes, brass hubs, and brass tires.  Serial # XX.  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 is not classed as a class III machinegun. If you can own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, you can legally own this masterpiece in most states!  The brass has not been polished in years and has a nice mellow mustard color.  The bottom rear of the barrel group marked in engraving pencil "Made by Karl Furr and Paul Kuhni Orem, Utah Jan. 1971", so it's 40 years old.  Sorry the photos are a little dark.  My lighting set-up is not geared for taking photos of something this large, so it's difficult to get enough light.

Fish-hook-gun-4-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!
.
This is not a miniature, but it is way cool!  It's a gadget gun!  This is a fish hook gun.  4 1/4" long, 2 3/4" wide.  It shoots the 4mm centerfire German Ubungsmunition 20, or 4mm centerfire Flobert.  The fish hook unscrews to insert the cartridge.  The hook is then supposedly baited, cocked, and the line let out.  When the fish takes the bait, you set the hook, and the gun goes off, killing or wounding the fish.  I have seen an original box with label that these came in, and I have seen a copy of the patent papers, so they are the real deal.  The patent drawings are shown in the Lewis Winant book Firearms Curiosa on page 261.  As I recall, these came 20 or 24 to a box, and they were wrapped in waxed sailcloth.  Blue steel finish with the firing pin and sear finished in the white.  Nice condition showing about 40% original rust blue, the balance turning a smooth plum brown.  One of these recently sold in the March James Julia auction for $7.5K!!!

!!!!!NEW INFO!!!!!
.
This is a 1/2 scale Colt number 3 derringer made by master miniature maker George Wenzek of Washington.  An astute collector recognized it for what if was and made a very great buy!  George Wenzek is one of the better miniature makers, and I'd rate him in my top 10.  The guy I bought it from thought it was a Larry Smith.  I thought it was a Tom Weston in a Larry Smith case.  Turns out it is pictured on page 54 of the book "The Art of Miniature Firearms, Centuries of Craftsmanship", and attributed to George Wenzek.  After comparing this case to several other Larry Smith cases that I have in stock, I now see it is definitely NOT a Larry Smith case.  It pays to do your research!  I thanks the buyer for letting me know what this piece really is!
2 7/16" long overall with a 1 1/4" .22 caliber rifled barrel.  The top of the barrel expertly hand engraved with the proper Colt barrel markings.  German silver frame and front sight.  Blue barrel.  Fire blue trigger, grip screw, pivot screw, and hammer screw.  Case colored hammer with checkered hammer spur, the hammer having both half and full cock.  Beautiful two piece ivory grips showing nice grain and aged patina.  The grips with brass screw escutcheons.  The grip frame with the locating pin on both sides to keep the grips from moving.  Complete with the original Wenzek walnut hinged top casing with push button latch.  The case interior English fit and lined in a dark red velour, and has a lidded compartment.  The Bottom of the casing stamped with the number 5.  The left grip frame under the grip also stamped with the number 5.  The casing includes a nice blue cleaning/ejector rod with brass handle and 12 rounds of 4mm short rimfire ammo.  The 4mm ammo is too small for this piece which is actually chambered to shoot .22 BB caps.  .22 BB caps are very difficult to find as they haven't been made in about 70 years.

Antique-Perc-derr-pair-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

These are not true miniatures, but are a matched pair of very small full size single shot percussion derringers by an unknown maker.  Both feature a ring in the trigger that would have been used as a lanyard or on a pocket watch chain.  Both measure 2 15/16" long overall with 25/32" smoothbore barrels of .125 caliber.  The steel parts look to have been originally finished in the white and are now a gray/brown patina.  Varnished straight grain one piece walnut stocks.  Both pieces are functional, but on one you need to hold the trigger forward for the hammer to catch, so I guess maybe the trigger spring is broken.

Eberl-1802-FL-Ivory-pistol-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 1/4 scale ivory stocked 1802 French Officer's flintlock pistol by Joseph Ebrel in Vienna (Wein).  This exact piece is pictured in Merrill Lindsey's book "Miniature Arms" on page 91.  It is from the famous Harold Berger collection of Philadelphia.  It is only the third piece known to be attributed to Joseph Ebrel in Vienna Circa 1800 - 1830.  Of the other two known pieces, one, a percussion pistol, is pictured in Lindsey's book on page 67, and is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.  The other, a double barrel pill lock rifle, is pictured in the book, The Art of Miniature Firearms, Centuries of Craftsmanship on pages 256 & 257, and is now in a private collection in New York.  Berger sold his miniature collection to Westley Richards in London shortly before/after Merrill Lindsey's book was published, which would have been about 1969 - 1970.  The caption in Lindsey's book states "officer's pistol, circa 1800, ... 3 1/2", Berger Collection.  This piece is also pictured in a Westley Richards catalog circa 1970.  The piece is 100% fully functional and was intended to, and indeed will shoot.  Note that the trigger extends through the triggerguard to make it easier to shoot, a common trait of antique shootable miniatures.  The piece actually measures about 3.385" long overall with a 2 1/8" silver plated octagon barrel of about .12 caliber.  The top flat of the barrel engraved Jph Eberl.  The nose cap and grip cap are both engraved silver.  The triggerguard is engraved silver plated steel as is the rear ram rod pipe.  The lock is engraved, marked WEIN, and is finished in the white.  The brass pan is removable.  The trigger is steel, is finished in fire blue with about 65% original fire blue finish remaining.  The pistol grip is scrimshaw engraved with a crown motif near the top curve, and the left side of the stock is scrimshaw engraved in a flower & leaf motif.  The ramrod is steel, finished in the white, with a brass tip.  Perfect crisp working action with half and full cock with a strong hammer spring.  Beautiful condition.  The barrel showing about 65% original plating.  The triggerguard showing 100% silver plating.  The silver of course turning a dark silver oxide patina.  The ivory stock showing a small superficial crack at the rear of the lockplate extending back about 7/16".  The ivory showing a beautiful aged patina and lots of grain, especially near the grip cap.  Complete with a rather nondescript wood case.  Miniature firearms, or full size ones for that matter, just don't get any better than this!  Included with this sale will be a copy of Merrill Lindsey's book, Miniature Arms, and a photo copy of the Westley Richards catalog.  By the way, that is an 1806 US half cent for a scale reference, thanks Mike!

HutchensLugerset-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is an absolutely perfect pair of German Lugers by the reknown Raymond Hutchens of Indiana.  Ray was, in my opinion, one of the top two miniature makers in the world and by far the best maker that has ever lived in the U.S.  These Lugers are nothing short of fantastic!  Made in 1/2 scale, the set consist of a 1906 Naval Luger and a French contract Artillery Luger.  Both are 100% fully functional with all the correct markings, proof marks, etc.  Parts that should be hardned are, the rifling is correct as to twist and number of lands & grooves, all parts are properly finished with some being black blue, some fire blue, and some straw colored.  Both Lugers were made by Ray for Joeseph D. Kramer and are featured in Kramer's book "Scale Model Firearms"  on pages 35 & 36, a hardbound copy of which will be included with the set.

Navy Luger:  Accessories include two standard 9 round 9mm magazines with wood bottoms, the shoulder stock, the perfect and functional 32 round snail drum magazine with dust cover, and the snail drum magazine loading tool. 
Artillery Luger:  Accessories include three standard 9 round 9mm magazines with aluminum bottoms, the shoulder stock, the perfect and functional 32 round snail drum magazine with dust cover, and the snail drum magazine loading tool.
Please note that the two drum magazines are different, one being the early version, and othe other the late version.  The set is complete with 3 rounds of perfect live 1/2 scale 9mm parabellum ammunition.  Also included are seven rounds which show firing pin indentions.  I do not know if these were ment to be dummies or if they are misfires.  The ammunition features drawn brass, not machined cases, correct "DWM K K 480C." headstamps, and white guilding metal full metal jacket bullets with a rounded nose profile.  These rounds typically sell for $100.00+ to collectors.

This is a miniature British 9 pounder made by master miniature maker Stanley Blashak (1915 - 2001).  13 1/2" long overall & 9 1/2" wide.  The wheels are 5 1/4" in diameter.   The barrel is 7 1/4" long and measures 1.085 at the muzzle with a .632 bore.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole, so this cannon will shoot.  The carriage is American black walnut with brass furniture.  The barrel is bronze.  Accessories include a ramrod, a water bucket, a swab, and a coil of rope.  Superb workmanship and attention to detail as you would expect from anything that Stanley made.  I'd put it up against a Furr any day, and it's smaller.  Formerly in the Paul and Mary Kopsch collection.  This is one of only two miniature cannons that Stanley ever made.

Osterman-Colt-No-3-25-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!! 

This is a 1/2 scale Colt number 3 derringer by master miniature maker Daniel E. Osterman of Oregon.  2 7/16" long overall with a 1 1/4" rifled barrel of .190 caliber.  German silver frame and grip strap.  Charcoal blue barrel, barrel pivot screw, and grip screw.  The hammer and trigger finished in the white.  The top of the barrel stamped with the proper COLT marking.  checkered hammer spur.  Dark walnut grips.  The serial number 25 stamped into the bottom breech end of the barrel and only visible when the barrel is opened.  The maker's mark stamped into the bottom of the grip strap.  Complete with the original Osterman tan lift top cardboard box with Osterman top lid label.  The interior bottom French fit in a gray velour.  These are much less common than the Osterman #1 and #2 Colts, and this is the first one I have been able to offer for sale in a couple of years.  There is a flaw in the blueing on the top of the barrel making a thin streak from breech to muzzle, and another on the right side of the barrel at the bottom of the ejector housing.

Uberti-Colt-1st-dragoon-75-1.JPG

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!

This is a true Colt Whitneyville/Walker Dragoon made by Uberti in 47% scale. 6 1/2" long overall with a 3 9/16" rifled barrel of .21 caliber.  You will note the long barrel lug like on a Walker, and that the walnut grips curve into the back of the frame on the sides like on a Walker. These are the indications of a Whitneyville/Walker Dragoon. This is because the Whitneyville/Walkers were made from left over Walker parts at the Eli Whitney factory as Colt did not have a factory at the time.  Also known as the "Fluck" dragoon after the man who discovered this variation. This, maybe unique, Uberti miniature is finished in beautiful charcoal blue and case colors and has beautiful varnished walnut grips. The triggerguard and backstrap are silver plated which is quite rare.  The barrel is roll marked with the proper Colt barrel address, the only Uberti dragoon I have ever seen so marked.  The cylinder is roll engraved with the correct Indian and Texas Rangers battle scene. "COLT'S PATENT" is expertly hand engraved on the left side of the frame. The polish and blueing are much nicer that on a normal Uberti miniature, so this may have been made for Aldo or as a special presentation.  It is cased with accessories including the flask, brass mold with blue steel sprue cutter, nipple wrench/screwdriver, cap tin, and cartridge packet. This miniature is cased in a gorgeous burl Elm casing with red felt lined English compartments, miniature Colt key lock (no key), loading instructions interior label, and a round brass escutcheon inlaid in the center top.  Mint condition except for a few very small freckles on the left side of the barrel lug.  A super rare Uberti dragoon with the silver plated triggerguard and backstrap, and the factory Colt barrel address!
