!!!!!SALE PENDING!!!!!  Note open barrel!  This is a 47% scale Colt single action army "Classic Edition" revolver Model of 1873 as issued by the United States Historical Society back in the 1980's.  All of these have serial number "1" stamped into the barrel, frame, triggerguard, & backstrap.  This is because this is an exact miniature of serial # 1 Colt SAA.  The actual serial number in this case is 688, and it is stamped into the cylinder pin boss just below the cylinder pin, on the rear of the cylinder, and  688 is also stamped into the loading gate.  6 1/8" long overall with a 3 7/16" long rifled barrel.  Fully functional, but non-firing.  Typical of the early Colt SAA's, this has the "pinched" frame sight, the round "Bullseye" ejector rod button, and the cylinder pin retained by a screw.  The top of the barrel is roll stamped with the single line Colt "Italics" barrel address.  The left front of the frame roll stamped with the Colt patents in two lines.  The left rear of the triggerguard stamped with the ".45 CAL" caliber markings.  As per the originals, the frame, hammer, and loading gate are color case hardened.  The balance of the steel parts are a beautiful high polish black blue.  Blade type front sight.  Walnut one piece grips.  Complete with the original USHS mahogany hinged top casing with slide latch.  The Colt logo stamped into the right front corner of the top.  The interior French fit with a forest green velour lining and includes the typical USHS "Classic Edition" brass plaque.  Mint condition.  Whereas almost all of these USHS SAA's have a hardened steel plug in the barrel that is blind pinned in place from the factory, this one does not have the plug and has an open rifled barrel.

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!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale Colt number 3 Thuer single shot side swing derringer made by an unknown maker.  Very similar to the one shown in Bob Urso's book, The Tiniest Guns, Third Edition, on page 84, and attributed to David Kucer.  This one has no Kucer markings or serial number, and has a totally different hammer from the one pictured in Bob's book.  Like the one in Bob's book, this one has a brass adaptor that enables it to shoot the more modern thick rim 2mm rimfire blank cartridges.  I think if the adaptor was relieved for the pin, it would also shoot the 2mm pinfire blanks from the hammer design.  1 13/126" long overall with a 1 3/32" rifled barrel of .15 caliber.  The frame looks to be nickel or silver plated, but may be German silver.  The barrel is blued and has the Colt markings on top of the barrel.  The hammer, trigger, and barrel pivot screw are fire blued.  The two piece grips look to be ebony with brass screw escutcheons.  This pistol has a functional ejector that will eject the brass adaptor across the room, so be careful when you open it!  Great condition, the barrel showing about 50% original blue, the rest turning a nice patina gray/brown.  The frame showing a little patina, mostly on the bottom.  The grips are near mint.  Cased in an old hinged photo type case, French fit.  The interior bottom lined in a medium blue felt.  The interior lid lined in a russet velour with a pattern.   This is yet another piece I've never seen before and any information as to the maker would really be appreciated.
