Uberti66Rifle294-1.JPG

This is a 47% scale Winchester Model 1866 octagon barrel rifle by Uberti in Italy.  20 1/2" long overall with a 11 7/16" .21 caliber rifled barrel.  All steel parts are nicely blued and 99.9%.  The brass parts are all gold plated as is normal for the Uberti 66's.  The wood is highly figured French walnut with beautiful cross grain figure.  Serial # 294 is stamped into the lower tang.  Full magazine, crescent buttplate with the trap door for a cleaning rod (rod not included).  Checkered hammer spur, the sides of the hammer polished and in the white.  The rear sight has the distance graduation markings.  Under the rear sight is the normal Uberti stamping.  The barrel is plugged at the breech as are all of the Uberti rifles.  The condition is good with a small blemish to the gold plating on the left rear of the frame, and several small handling marks in the wood.  Uberti 1866 octagon barrel rifles are scarce as they were probably less than 10% of production, most of the production being round barrel carbines.

4-Miniartthird94Wincarbines-1.JPG

Here are four different 1/3 scale special order Winchester Model 1894 carbines made by Miniart in Russia.  These are all probably one a kind pieces, at least are the only ones I know of, and 99% of the miniart miniatures came through my hands.  All have the proper upper tang markings and proper barrel markings.  The steel parts are polished blue, and the stocks are highly figured American walnut.  Checkered hammer spurs, typical carbine rear sights, carbine buttplates.  These are absolutely fully functional and will include two rounds each of solid brass dummy ammunition that can be loaded into the magizine and will feed, chamber, extract, and eject.  The lever safety is also functional.  An outstanding value!  Most of the photos are of the 15" carbine as they are typically exactly the same except for the barrel and magazine lengths.  The exception one of the last photos is a photo of one of the short magazine 20" barrel carbines front sight.  If you are interested in one of these, let me know exactly which one & I'll be happy to email you photos of the exact piece you are interested in.

DeWalt-matchlock-battle-axe-1.JPG

This is a 1/4 scale matchlock pistol combination battle axe by an unknown maker.  I thought it was an unmarked Ron DeWalt, but Ron tells me he didn't make it.    Maybe an Agnoletto?, but it doesn't have his normal markings either.  7 1/16" long overall with a 3 1/8" barrel with about a .12 caliber bore.  All steel construction and finished in the white.  Fully functional and will probably shoot.  Excellent workmanship!

BarrettIronFrameHenryRifle.jpg

Another great 1/2 scale miniature by master miniature maker Mike Barret. This is one of only four iron frame Henry rifles that Mike made.  Fully functional with .22 caliber rifled barrel and a beautiful dark straight grain walnut stock as would be proper for a Henry. This miniature has the proper barrel address, serial number, and proof markings hand engraved by master engraver Roger Sampson. Roger also slicked up the internal parts so the action works smooth as glass. Roger also did the final surface prep work to make it ready for finishing. Doug Turnbull finished the rifle in the proper blue and case colors. Additional photos available upon request.

Uberti66WinSherwoodeng1.jpg

 This is a gorgeous 47% scale miniature Winchester Model 1866 carbine made by Uberti in Italy. 18" long overall with a 9" .21 caliber rifled barrel. The brass frame, sideplates, cartridge lifter, and buttplate have been very tastefully engraved in a pattern common to the Winchester 1866 by master engraver George Sherwood. The varnished walnut stocks have been expertly checkered in a point pattern by master checkerer Jim Corpe. Blue finished steel parts except for the hammer, lever, and trigger which have been case colored by Doug Turnbull. Flip two leaf carbine rear sight. Trapdoor in the buttplate for cleaning rod storage. The two line barrel address lazer engraved on the top of the barrel. Serial # 81 marked on the lower tang. The engraver's marking engraved on the lower tang under the lever. The brass on these is normally gold plated, but this one has had the plating striped, so it should start to get a nice aged patina in a few years.  A very pretty rifle and historicaly accurate.
