September 10-12, 2019 Field & Range Firearms
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/11/2019
Lot consists of: (A) Smith & Wesson No. 2 Army; Made from 1861-1874. Tip-up frame with ribbed octagon barrel, six shot, single action, spur trigger, and two piece walnut grips. CONDITION: Metal is now all soft brown patina and there is some play at hinge. Bore is clean. Cylinder does not lock into place. (B) Belgium British Bulldog revolver. Factory engraved and silver plated, and fitted with real Mother of Pearl grips. CONDITION: The silver has tarnished as appears untouched and should be left that way. The grips are fine. Cylinder seems to index at times but does not always advance or lock so timing will need some attention. Bore is sharp. (C) Chicago palm pistol manufactured in Chicago during the 1890's. Seven shot with factory nickel finish and rubber panels. Numbers match. CONDITION: Retains at least 95% of its original nickel plating. The inner oval ring is broken so it will not advance. This will probably have to be made as a replacement will be tough but it is simply a metal ring, not rocket science. Once repaired, this gun alone is worth in excess of two thousand dollars. This is a great grouping for a handy collector or gunsmith as all three need some minor tweaking.
