Neaves-Ky-rifle-59-1.JPG

This is a 2/5 scale flintlock Kentucky rifle by master miniature maker Gerald Neaves.  22 3/4" long overall with a 16 1/2" octagon rifled barrel of .22 caliber.  The barrel is bored through to the touch hole.  The lock and barrel are browned steel showing 98% original brown finish.  The furniture is yellow brass.  Really nice engraved  patch box.  There is a German silver eight point star inlaid into the raised  cheek piece on the left side of the buttstock, and some nice scroll carving between the cheekpiece and the crescent buttplate.  The rear sight is a buckhorn type made of browned steel and is dovetailed in place.  The front sight is a blade type made of yellow brass and is also dovetailed in place.  The maker's mark, "G. Neaves 59" engraved into the top flat of the barrel between the breech and the rear sight.  I understand that the 59 means this is the 59th miniature Mr. Neaves made.  The lock has half and full cock with a strong hammer spring and a strong frizzen spring.  Beautiful tiger striped fiddle back maple one piece stock with tons of figure.  A real pretty little rifle with great lines, and is a very obvious improvement over his earlier works.

DeWaltOUrifleshotgunKW545-1.jpg

This is a 1/2 scale over/under combination rifle shotgun by master miniature maker Ron DeWalt.  22 5/8" long overall with 14 1/2" barrels.  The top barrel is a rifle and looks to be about .18 caliber.  The bottom barrel is a shotgun and looks to be about 30 caliber.  If both hammers are cocked, the single trigger is two stage, firing the lower shotgun barrel first, then with continued pulling, firing the upper rifle barrel.  Beautiful browned finish with gorgeous oil finished fiddleback maple stock.  Two hickory ramrods with brass tips are held on each side of the barrel by two steel ferrules each.  Brass cap or patch box inlaid into the right side of the buttstock.  Brass dovetailed front sight and steel dovetailed rear sight.  Brass crescent buttplate.  The makers name stamped into the bottom of the barrel.  An interesting note is that the hammer spring for the lower barrel is actually the trigger guard.   Fully functional and well done!

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!

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.

onethirdHeasmanaircanegun.jpg

This is a super 1/3 scale pneumatic can gun cased with accessories made by master miniature builder Gordon Heasman in England.  Fully functional and firing.  A fantastic set with every tool and accessory you would need to shoot.    This exact miniature featured on page 9 of Imperial Russian Armory's 1997 sixteen page color catalog.  The air gun is in two pieces, the air chamber and the barrel which screw together.  Has an ivory pistol grip handle that can be unscrewed and replaced with the ivory rifle stock.  It is a rifle, or you can unscrew the barrel liner and it converts into a shotgun.  Includes the air pump that has both a blue steel foot handle and a ivory hand handle.  Accessories include the pliers type bullet mold, patch cutter, a rifle cleaning rod, a shotgun cleaning rod. the key for cocking the mechanism, a spanner wrench for disassembling the air chamber, and a large quantity of properly sized lead balls.  The leathers in the air pump are dried out and will need to be cleaned and oiled in order to charge the air cylinder.  The ivory rifle stock has a couple of small cracks at the end that threads onto the air chamber.  Otherwise, this piece is in near mint condition.  To operate this, you would screw the pump into the air chamber, screw one of the handles onto the other end, then pump up the air chamber.  You would then screw the barrel to the air chamber and fit either the pistol grip or the rifle stock.  You would then load the barrel.  You then take the key and insert it into a hole in the air chamber.  Turning the key cocks the gun.  There is then a small button that when puched shoots the gun.  Multiple shots can be fired on one charge of the air chamber.  One of only six made.
