The entire stock is relief carved with various scenes, both forends carved with hunting scenes depicting animals chasing other animals, the areas just in front of the lock showing a full nude female figure with animals, the wood at the point where the ramrod enters the stock carved with a monster’s head, the bottom of the stock just below the lock carved with a large stylized man’s head, the bottom of the stock carved with foliage ending at the butt with a large rabbit. Opposite the lock the stock carved with a large scene depicting a hunter in period costume spearing a stag which is being attacked by 3 hounds. The sliding wooden patchbox cover carved with a woodlands scene showing a woman with a lyre playing to various animals including a boar, a horse, a stag and a doe, a unicorn, a steer, a dog, a lion, an elephant, and a rabbit. When the patchbox is slid back to reveal the wood between the lock and the inletting for the patchbox, a large letter “D” is carved into the wood. Hunting and foliage carvings cover the upper edge of the stock, the raised cheekrest is carved with a large woodland scene depicting a crowned king holding the world in his left hand and a scepter in his right hand while seated in a chariot pulled by two horses. The inside edge of the cheekrest carved with a large scene showing 3 hounds attacking a boar with a hunter holding a spear to their right. This decoration is extremely extensive, way over 95% of the stock’s surface area is relief carved. CONDITION: The rifle is basically all original and in very good to fine condition. The barrel has been cleaned overall leaving scattered traces of pitting with a scattered very light tan aged color mixed with dull natural steel color. The lock a dull natural steel color with some slight age toning. The loading rod with the original wormed iron tip, the engraved bone ramrod tip was broken with the two original pieces glued together. There are some very small minor chips of wood missing in scattered areas on the stock, particularly in the area of the ramrod channel; these do not detract from the rifle’s appearance. A 30x7 mm piece of the forend replaced on the left side of the barrel at the juncture with the engraved bone forend tip. One quarter of the left side of the engraved forend tip is a bad modern replacement. The stock appears to have been coated many years ago with a very dark brown, almost black, wax: this wax has worn off in the areas which are normally handled, leaving a nice brown wood patina. 4-41060 EV1 ($40,000-80,000)
Although unsigned, this rifle unquestionably was made by one of the members of the Maucher Family of Schwabisch Gmund, Germany. Georg Maucher the Elder had 6 sons, all of whom joined him in the family business of carving. Georg the Elder, his 3rd son Georg, and his 6th son Johann Michael seemed to specialize in carving gun stocks while the other sons carved ivory and amber. A very detailed and definitive book on the Maucher Family, “DIE MAUCHER” was published by the Stadtarchiv Schwabisch Gmund. This extensive book illustrates most of the known Maucher works including 3 rifles of special interest: as I believe this rifle is the final one of a series of four rifles, each with the cheekrest depicting on of the four known continents during this golden age of geographical exploration. On the bottom edge of the cheekrest, each of these rifles is engraved with the name of a continent. The rifle signed “GM” and dated 1656 now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, [Inv. Nr. WS D97] shows a chariot pulled by lions with the edge carved “AFRICA”. It’s interesting to note that the wood carving along each side of the barrel is exactly the same pattern and carving as on this rifle now being offered. Another rifle now in the Dresden Museum [Inv. NR. HMD G 2059] is also signed “GM: and dated 1663, and this is carved “AMERICA”. Yet another rifle now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, [Inv. Nr. 59.208.84] is signed “GM” and dated 1663, and is carved “AFRICA”. Although this rifle is not signed or dated, and is not carved with such a notation, the pattern of the cheekrest clearly indicates that this most probably the fourth rifle of the series representing EUROPA [no other possible “Europa” rifle is known at this time]. The royal crowned figure holding the world in one hand and a scepter in the other certainly supports this conclusion. At this time, c. 1650-70, Europe was the center of the known world, and perhaps the maker felt identifying it as such was excessive. There is no way to differentiate between the works of Georg Maucher the Elder and Georg Maucher the Son, they both used just the initials “GM”. Certainly this rifle must have been made by either the father or the son, or possibly by both of them working together. Some of the decorative patterns used by the Mauchers and other 17th Century gunmakers have been traced to engravings and woodcuts. Using published hunting scenes and other imagery as decorative patterns were very standard practices at the time.

568CP. WITHDRAWN

568CQ. LARGE UNMARKED CYPHERED ANTIQUE BOWIE KNIFE, MID 19TH CENTURY. This heavy (1 Ú lbs.) knife has a hollow ground clipped point blade just under 11 Ú”, a 4” false edge, and is about 15 ß” overall. It is either unmarked or the mark has worn off, but is similar in form to Sheffield knife by George Wostenholm. The grip is German silver mounted (including cross guard) with stag scales, and the cross guard is a rounded stylized “s” form. The stamped figures on the blade include seated lions with the mottoes “I SURPASS ALL” and “TRY ME”, a Liberty Cap containing the work “LIBERTY”, a winged dragon, 2 stylized hearts being pierced by daggers and a buck chased by dogs and a hunter on horseback. CONDITION: The blade has been cleaned, with some areas of light pitting, a few very tiny nicks, and a very slightly blunted tip. Despite being sharpened many years ago, the overall look is a pleasant patina. The stag scales have one minor crack, and although one slightly overlaps the metal at one point, they are almost certainly original to the knife. There is evidence of a very light battering on the top of the pommel, but the knife is very tight and sound overall. No sheath. 4-42251 (20,000-25,000)

568CR. LARGE SPEAR PONT BOWIE BY HASSAM BROTHERS, BOSTON, MID 19TH CENTURY. While not the common form for a Hassam, this knife is absolutely genuine. The spear point blade measures about 12 Þ”, with “HASSAM BROTHERS / BOSTON” stamped on both sides of the ricasso. The iron cross guard terminates in acorn finials, and the ribbed horn or possibly rosewood grip is bracketed by a German silver ferrule and pommel cap. A nut around the threaded tang secures blade to the 5” grip. The weight of this knife is about 1 1Ú 4lbs. CONDITION: The blade has been crudely sharpened with a grinding wheel, by somebody apparently unaware of his destructive talents. These marks cover a good portion of the blade. From the ricasso back to the pommel cap, the condition is quite good with the exception of a few minor age cracks in the grip. No sheath. 4-41077 (7,000-10,000)

568CS. LONG ANTIQUE SPEAR POINT BOWIE WITH MEXICAN EAGLES. The slender, 10 1/8” spear point is marked “B B” on both sides of the ricasso. The grip is 4 ß” with German silver mounts. The pommel has a stamped Mexican eagle on both sides, and the two piece guard has a stamped lion or lioness, also on both sides. Period m.o.p. scales are secured by two pins though the tang, and a brass liner is under both the scales and mounts. The layered cardboard sheath has a German silver tip and throat. CONDITION: The knife shows evidence of cleaning and sharpening, with one nick near the tip and several casting flaws (they do not detract). There is a slight damage (loss) to one edge of the guard, with a few tiny dents on the guard and the pommel ornaments. The m.o.p scales are excellent, with a pleasing patina. The sheath has a fold on each side and slight wear. The attachment button has been lost from the throat. 4-42254 (3,500-5,000)

568CT. FINE LARGE ANTIQUE COFFIN HANDLED BOWIE BY GEORGE WOODHEAD. Clipped point 9” blade, with a 6” false edge, marked “G WOODHEAD / 36 HOWARD STREET/ SHEFFIELD” in three line near the guard. The coffin form grip is 4 Þ” (including the guard) with stag scales and German silver guard, escutcheon, and pins. Decorated layered cardboard sheath is German silver throat and tip. It dates from around 1850. CONDITION. The blade retains most of the original polish, with some staining and a few areas where light pitting has been cleaned away. The stag scales are crisp and undisturbed. The sheath has some wrinkles on each side, a bit of wear, and possibly a replaced metal tip. 4-42253 (15,000-18,000)

568CU. ANTIQUE BOWIE KNIFE BY GEORGE WOODHEAD, CIRCA 1850. The knife has a blade just under 6 ß”, a 4 3/8” false edge, and is just over 10 ß” overall. The mounts are German silver, with raised reclining lions on both sides of the pommel. A pointed oval escutcheon in one of the stag scales bears the name “C.H.Parks” in period script. A thick, pointed oval cross guard, when viewed from behind, shows evidence of re-positioning. The edge of the blade has been re-shaped from sharpening, and the right edge of the three line maker’s stamp is covered by the guard. It should read “G. WOODHEAD / 36 HOWARD STREET / SHEFFIELD”. The layered cardboard sheath lacks the German silver tip, and the throat lacks the button. The scales and pommel are in sound, undisturbed condition, as is the engraved escutcheon. Heavy sharpening during the period of use has altered the shape of the blade. The back of the guard has some gaps where it fits the blade, but the guard does not appear to be a replacement. The layered cardboard sheath is worn and scuffed, and lacks both the metal tip and the attachment button on the throat. 4-42252 (9,000-12,000)

568CV. SCRIMSHAWED MAP HORN: Depicting a view of Philadelphia. Three line inscription reads “First Sergt. John Robbins, 1st Company Milta Arty Phil Ada County” Scrimshaw design includes a sun face with spread winged eagles on either side, the banner beneath reads “Philadelphia”. Below that is a very nice scrimmed depiction of fifty or more homes with a harbor in the foreground featuring three full-rigged sailing vessels. The butt of the horn fitted with an old carved wooden plug. The first half of the horn scrimmed on a creamy ivory background, the upper portion of the horn carved in relief with a dark stained finish. The horn has the appearance of an 18th century horn and shows considerable signs of age, however, is not of that period. Very nicely executed with the design in nice contrast. Size: 9” long across the curve, approx. 11 1/2” on the curve. CONDITION: A small section approx. 1 1/2” x 1/2” appears to have been broken out of the horn at one time and glued back in, still loose. The upper end of the carved horn having an old worm hole in it. Otherwise, generally good. Wiggins Collection. 4-42086 JJ3 (400-600)

568CW. FINE DOCUMENTED EARLY SCRIMSHAW HORN. This early 19th century priming horn very aesthetically engraved with alternating panels of fish and leaves. Two line inscription reads “Abner Maynard, powder, RVMB” An accompanying document handwritten in 1978 at the time Mr. Messenger purchased the horn, indicates that Abner Maynard was of Middlebury, VT and served with the Rutland regiment during the War of 1812. His unit was the Middlebury Brigade. Maynard held the rank of Major until the close of the war and this horn descended in the Peter Bent Brigham family of Waitsfield, VT. This fine antique priming horn fitted with a carved wooden plug at the butt end with wonderful worn patina. The first half of the horn with the scrimshaw design, the upper portion of the horn recessed carved. Size: 7” across the curve and approx. 8” on the curve. CONDITION: Generally excellent. The scrimshaw design both well executed and colored so that it stands out very nicely against the warm mellowed ivory background. Structurally excellent, the only blemish being a 1/4” section which has a small worm hole. This is at the very edge of where the scrimshawed portion ends and the recessed carved portion of the horn begins. A similar but far smaller worm hole exists on the very edge of the horn where the wooden butt attaches. Messenger Collection. 4-41688 JJ2 (500-800)

568CX. CARVED AND SCRIMSHAWED MAP HORN. A very nicely executed scrimshawed map horn inscribed “J.M. Hyatt, his horn 1760” The map depicting various areas of New York including “Schnachtedy”, “Albany” , “Port Edward”, “German Flatt”, “Saratgoa”, etc. In addition to the nice map portion is armorial crest on the reverse depicting a rampant lion and a rearing unicorn. Between it is a round crowned escutcheon inscribed on the border “Doieu Et Mon Droit”. A scale symbol is scrimshawed near the top. A vining scrim design around the upper portion, followed by a notch design. The upper tip of the horn carved away, the butt end fitted with a carved wooden plug. The horn, definitely with considerable age, but also definitely not 18th century on a yellow mellowed patina horn, the scrim design nicely done and stands out quite well. A nice old horn but not 18th or early 19th century. Size: Approx. 11” from one end of the curve to the other and approx. 15 1/2” on the curve. CONDITION: Structurally very good. A couple of very minor boring insect holes but at no critical point. Otherwise, very nice. Messenger Collection. 4-41686 JJ5 (600-900)

568CY. NICE SCRIMSHAW HORN WITH INSCRIBED FRENCH ARMORIAL CREST: The crest features a crowned lion to one side, a rearing unicorn on the other side. The central round portion crowned with an inscription around the border “Honisoit Oui Malypense” A ribbon banner beneath inscribed “Dieu Et Mon Droet” The reverse of the horn with a heart-shaped design inscribed in the center in script with what appears to be “J.W.” The horn also carved or branded near the spout at a later point with a small “W.D.” preceded by a short arrow. The horn fitted with a wooden plug at the end having a turned handle. The tip of the horn fitted with an old brass spring-hinged pouring spout. The horn also fitted with two small iron eye rings to attach the carrying strap to. The horn is a light ivory color and while the scrim design is rather delicate, it is quite readable. Size: From the butt to the pouring tip it is 10” across the curve, on the curve to the tip of the spout it is approx. 13” The turned wooden handle approx. 2 1/2” long. CONDITION: The horn generally in very good structural condition the wood varnished at some point in time. Some surface damage as a result of some burrowing insects. This scattered throughout a few places on the horn, a couple such spots on the rampant lion. These spots have been filled in many years ago with some composition. Otherwise, generally good. Messenger Collection. 4-41687 JJ4 (400-700)

568CZ. HISTORIC PRESENTATION IVORY CANE: to Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott. This wonderfully carved ivory cane features a life-like dogs head carved in the form of a bloodhound with glass eyes. The cane’s shaft consists of carved ivory discs, each disc carved with a raised knob set with black ebony, thus simulating a shark vertebrae cane. The cane wonderfully scrimmed and inlaid with red sealing wax to read “Presented to Lieut. General Winfield Scott by Fred Henke Turner, carver, Paterson, NJ, a soldier in the Mexican war” Similarly inscribed near the tip “Down with treason” The tip of the cane fitted with a 2” iron metal tip. Scott considered the hero of the Mexican war, was in charge of the Union forces at the outbreak of the Civil War. This wonderful antique cane was accomplished by a very talented carver. The fact that it is ivory and the simulation of a shark vertebrae cane is very reminiscent of mid and early 19th century canes and other ivory artifacts produced by seaman while on long voyages away from home. We have not researched F.H. Turner but the records of the Mexican War should include information on him as well as his service in the Army at that time. Size: 35 1/2” long. CONDITION: Generally very good. The entire cane having a wonderful warn mellow aged patina. There are various lines or separations in the ivory including some hairlines in the dog’s head as well as some separation lines in various discs along the shaft of the cane. These lines are drying or aging lines, not breaks or cracks. 4-41118 JJ1 (18,000-28,000)

568DA. HISTORIC 1873 SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR CARBINE USED AT THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN. Cal 45-55. This famous carbine is one of fifteen forensically identified Custer Battlefield Carbines, of which only five are in private hands, this being one of the privately owned ones. It is accompanied by a notarized letter dated January 8, 1991 from Douglas Scott and Dick Harmon stating that this carbine was “confirmed as matching an archaeological specimen case (FS 150) from the Calhoun Hill area of the Custer battlefield”. This forensic comparison was accomplished at the Nebraska State Patrol’s Criminalistics Laboratory, Firearms and Toolmarks Identification Laboratory. Of the handful of weapns forensically proven to have been at the Battle of the Little Bighorn this is of particular historic interest and importance. It was quite likely used at the Battle of the Rosebud and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Both battles being considered perhaps the high water mark for the Indians. At the Battle of the Rosebud the Indians overwhelmed Cook and defeated him and, of course, at the Battle of the Little Bighorn they annihilated Custer and his entire command.
This Springfield carbine, serial #1210, is beleived to have been issued to the 3rd Cavalry which saw action at the Battle of the Rosebud. This is based on information discovered by Franklin Mallory in the National Archives. Mallory discovered records that serial numbers in the 1210 range were issued to the 3rd Cavalry. It is therefore very likely an Indian captured the carbine at the Rosebud and later used it at the Little Bighorn. We of course know it was definately used at the Little Bighorn from the cartridge casing found on Calhoun Ridge where Indians fired on and killed Lt. Calhoun and his entire command. The Battle of the Rosebud took place just eight days prior to the battle of the Little Bighorn and it is a known fact that many or most of the Indians that participated at the Battle of the Rosebud also participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
This lot is accompanied by a small paperback book “Archaeological Insights into The Custer Battlefield. An Assessment of the 1984 Field Season” 1987 Scott and Fox which details the archeological search in the battlefield There is a pouch inside the back cover that contains a large sectioned map of the battlefield showing the exact location of where all the recovered shell casings were found. Also accompanying it is a colorful print of a painting executed by noted Custer historian Ralph Heinz. The print titled “Yellow Nose” depicts an actual happening during the battle on Calhoun Ridge according to Indian records and a pictograph history executed by Yellow Nose himself after the battle.
This carbine is standard configuration issue 1873 with 22” round barrel, German silver front blade and 500-yard rear sight. It has the standard 1873 stock, made without butt trap, 1873 marked breech block and flat lock plate, which also has the spread-winged American eagle and “U.S./Springfield/1873”. CONDITION:The gun has a very dark, as found, patina, and bears tremendous indication of Indian usage. It has light pitting over much of the surface. All the legends and numbers are still visible. The butt stock shows much use, typical of all Indian used guns, and includes a myriad of nicks, dings, scratches as well as a large gouge on the bottom of the forearm. The middle of the stock has an interesting pronounced area of wear which is most certainly a result of riding over an Indian saddle bow for a long period of time. The wrist was broken through but never glued and has a very old make-do repair which is almost certainly of Indian origination that consists of a number of small tacks and an old round head wood screw. It is wrapped with wire which appears to be old telegraph wire, with evidence further down the wrist that it was also wrapped with a course wire and probably rawhide, as there are still traces of finish in that area. There is a small chunk and sliver of wood missing from the left side and another from the right side. Below a tang screw is an old round head replacement. Extractor is missing. The bore still has strong rifling, pitted and dark in front of the chamber and dark in the grooves, with a light ring about mid-point. The lock functions perfectly. 4-41806 JJ7 A more detailed package of information is available by contacting our office (Offered without estimate)

568DB. UNIQUE AND HISTORIC SIOUX ENGRAVED PICTOGRAPH EXCAVATED FROM SITTING BULL’S CAMP AT THE LITTLE BIG HORN BATTLEFIELD: This object is likely one of the most important excavated artifacts from Battle of the Little Big Horn or Custer’s Last Stand and the only known Plains Indian pictograph worked on a metal surface. This unique artifact was excavated by Jason Pitsch who’s family owned and farmed nearly 30,000 acres of the Little Big Horn battlefield. The bulk of this family’s land was located on the Southern edge of the Sioux Indian campgrounds and was also the site of Major Jesse Reno’s attack on Sitting Bull. In the late 1970’s Mr. Pitsch, realizing that the family land contained objects of unique and historic importance, began to excavate for relics from the famed battle and started one of the world’s best collections of Little Big Horn artifacts. He was very methodical in his approach and carefully documented the location of each artifact and also registered these with the United States National Park Service. His collection became extremely large and represented one of such historical importance that he opened the Reno Battlefield Museum in Garryowen, Montana to exhibit the artifacts to the public.
This unique sheet brass artifact was most likely once a camp kettle having a rolled edge at the top and typical spun brass body of the type common in America in the first quarter of the 19th Century. On the surface is clearly seen the engraved pictograph with figures moving from right to left showing four Indian warriors, three of which are riding on horseback chasing a group of three United States Cavalry soldiers. Two of the soldiers are on horseback and one lies wounded or dying on the ground with two arrows piercing his torso. The pictograph illustrates two riding Indians with long feathered head dresses, arrows flying through mid-air heading towards the two riding soldiers, one of whom is tossing his carbine backward from his hand. There is an American flag or guidon which is obviously falling toward the ground as well. The detail and sophistication of this unique pictograph is superb. It is very typical of this indigenous artistic tradition. Since this relic was discovered on the site of the Hunkpapa Camp circle, exactly where Sitting Bull’s camp was located along the Little Big Horn River, it is supposed that the scene depicted here may be related to the Battle of the Rosebud which occurred several days before Custer’s Last Stand. The sheet brass pictograph is accompanied by a signed certificate from the Reno Battlefield Museum with a map on the reverse showing the exact location where the artifact was excavated. The pictograph was removed from the Pitsch land in 1992.
This one of a kind excavated artifact from the Little Big Horn battlefield site associated with Sitting Bull’s camp is one of the most important Sioux artifacts and American historical objects to come to the public market in decades. It’s importance is related to both American military history as well as American Indian artistic and pictorial traditions. 4-42059 CW106 (40,000-60,000)

568DC. RELIC PARTIAL COLT MODEL 1873 SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER RECOVERED FROM THE TIMBER FIGHT LINE, RENO BATTLEFIELD. Consisting of the frame, loaded cylinder and barrel of a Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army accompanied by a signed certificate from the Reno Battlefield Museum, Garryowen, Montana documenting that this relic was excavated by Jason Pitsch (owner of approximately 30,000 acres of Little Big Horn Battlefield land) in 1991 at the Timber Fight Line near a bend in the Little Big Horn River. The relic revolver has three cylinders with it’s original brass cartridge casings and two cylinders with full cartridges remaining. The entire relic has been cleaned by electrolysis and presents a heavily pitted dark gray surface overall. The historic relic is accompanied by a certificate signed by Jason Pitsch which reads “1873 Colt Single Action S.N.# 5100 (GPI) load (sic) cylender (sic), barrel fram (sic) and cylnder (sic).” On the reverse of the certificate is a printed map of the Reno Battlefield showing the location where this revolver was excavated. A fine, documented and desirable relic from the Little Big Horn. 4-42058 CW107 (20,000-30,000)

568DD. HISTORIC 1873 TRAP DOOR SPRINGFIELD CARBINE. Cal. 45-70. This historic carbine in relic condition was recovered from the Little Bighorn River in August 1954 by Fred F. Kilfoy while fishing. The location where Mr. Kilfoy has indicated he found this carbine is approximately 10-12 miles North of the Custer Battlefield, which took place in June of 1876. The area where this carbine was found is along the retreat route used by the Sioux after the battle when they were traveling North to Canada. How it came to be in the river at this point is anyone’s guess. It can be speculated that the Indians, laden with all their worldly possessions, in hasty retreat and having all the firearms they picked up on the battlefield had probably improperly secured it to a pack and when crossing the river the rifle simply slipped off and fell unnoticed into the river where it lay for over 100 years until Mr. Kilfoy discovered it. Mr. Kilfoy, in a notarized statement dated February 19th, 1991 stated that while fishing the Bighorn River he stepped on the carbine and upon discovering what it was took it home with him and kept it in his possession until October 1990 when it was sold at auction.
In another notarized letter dated February 20th, 1991 from Bob Funk, a well-known firearms dealer in Southwest Wyoming, states that he purchased this carbine for $25 from Mr. Kilfoy’s auction.
Our carbine is described as being of standard configuration, badly rusted and having all the appearance of an item long submerged in moving water. The front sight is rusted off and there appears to be a major dent in the barrel about 8” from the muzzle. The rear sight is much more recently missing as there is strong original blue under the area where the sight rested on the barrel. The breechblock is rusted through in two or three places and the latch knob is rusted off. The hammer was apparently bent at some point and does not line up with the firing pin recess. The sling ring and bar are still intact although very fragile. The 1873 style solid buttplate is still in place although one screw has fallen out. The wood, particularly at the wrist area, has worn away and is now very thin. The whole carbine appears to be very fragile.
One could speculate endlessly on how this relic came to be in the river where it was found but the almost inescapable fact is that a completely original 1873 saddle ring carbine in the near proximity of the Custer Battlefield leaves little doubt that it was a Custer gun, unfortunately the serial number is obliterated and we will never know for sure. 4-41083 JR113 Offered without estimate.

568DE. RELIC REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY PERCUSSION REVOLVER EXCAVATED FROM ROSEBUD CREEK. Cal .44 perc. This wonderful old revolver, in inoperative relic condition, was excavated near Rosebud Creek adjacent to the Custer battlefield.
In June 1876 in an effort to make the Lakota Sioux, who were gathered with Sitting Bull, to return to their reservations. General’s Crook & Terry and Col Gibbon mounted a three-prong attack ostensibly to surround the Indians. On June 17, 1876, General Crook was proceeding down the Rosebud River when they were attacked by Crazy Horse and about 500 warriors. This forced Crook and his troops to retreat, which one could speculate, caused Custer’s demise when Crook was late completing his part of the three-prong drive. The Crook column was the largest of the three and certainly would have made a difference to Custer had the attack been coordinated and proceeded as planned. Crook never sent word to Terry’s column, of which Custer’s Seventh Cavalry was a part, and there had been no communication among the three forces so the other two never knew the outcome of the Rosebud fight until it was to late.
Our revolver has a 6 3/4” octagon barrel, apparently reduced from its original 8”. The iron has a deep brown rust patina with pitting over most of the surface, more pronounced on the right side. The brass trigger guard is a very dark brown, four of the chambers remain loaded with caps in place. The grips are worn and weathered to just a sliver on the right side and about 50% on the left side. There are some inspector marks visible on the trigger guard and barrel all other markings are obliterated or inaccessible. This unique revolver was sold at a West Coast auction in April 1995 for $33,000. Its provenance includes Acevado Collection and Dr. Lawrence Frost Collection. It is pictured and mentioned on page 91, Custer battle guns by John DuMont and on page 25, “Firearms in the Custer Battle” by John DuMont and John E. Parsons.
With its cut barrel our revolver was apparently not a military sidearm so one can speculate that it could have only been carried by one of the Indians in the Rosebud fight who, undoubtedly, had captured it from a settler or possibly one of the gold miners the Indians were trying to drive out of the Black Hills. Further speculation can be raised as to the fate of the individual who carried it since two of the chambers are fired and the four remain still charged.
The barrel amputation and front sight, which is a tiny brass rocky mountain shape with a tiny dovetail 3/8” from the muzzle, was surely not done by an Indian but by an accomplished gunsmith of the time. To become so deeply patinated and the grips so severely worn would have taken most of the 125 years since Custer’s fight. The grips have several small holes around the bottom on both sides, which appear to be tack holes, consistent with Indian decorations.
All in all a spectacular and rare Indian Wars battlefield relic that will fit into anyone’s collection. More research may reveal additional provenance. 4-41084 JR578 Offered without estimate.

568DG. HISTORIC LOT OF EXCAVATED CARTRIDGE CASINGS FROM THE RENO BATTLE SITE. In the early 1980’s, Jason Pitsch and some friends undertook an extensive excavation of the Pitsch farmland. Much of the Pitch Family farmland included the actual site of the Reno portion of the Battle of Little Big Horn. These casings consisting of approximately 47 items, most of which are 50/70 cartridge casings, were part of this historic finding. Most were fired in trapdoor Springfields, some were fired in Sharps rifles. Much of the Pitsch collection was turned over to the S.B.A. a couple of years ago. This is part of that collection. A letter from the S.B.A. attesting to the fact that these were received from the Pitsch collection will be accompanying this lot. CONDITION: These are all excavated, condition varies considerably. 4-42250 (2,000-5,000)

568DH. 1875 OFFICER’S MODEL TRAPDOOR SPRINGFIELD, IDENTIFIED TO LIEUTENANT JOHN MURPHY. Cal 45-70. This rare rifle is of the second type with 26” round bbl, having a gold washed Beech’s front sight and a 1,200-yard rear sight. The breech block and lock plate are both dated 1873. The lock plate, hammer, latch, breech block, tang, receiver and trigger guard are all engraved with deep arabesque patterns, as are the barrel band, nose cap and heel of the buttplate. Our rifle is fitted with the usual half stock, with silver-plated, pewter, leaf pattern nose cap. The breech block is of the high arch type. The middle of the forearm and wrist have coarse checkering patterns, with a round base tang sight mounted atop the wrist and a wood grip adapter mounted on the bottom. The hickory ramrod appears to be original, with a nickel-plated wiping jag on one end and a lightly decorated brass tip on the other end that may be a replacement. The barrel has a single iron ramrod guide. Accompanied by a spectacular tooled form-fitted leather case with embroidered decoration of “Lieut. John Murphy” on the right side and the tooled legend “14th U.S. Inft.” on the left side. The case is 45-1/2” overall length with the front 2/3 being a tapered round tube sewn on the top edge with a Cheyenne plug at the tip. The rear 1/3 is hard shell leather, form-fitted to the shape of the rifle and designed so that the butt area could be lifted to extract the rifle. The flap is secured by a strap that wraps over the butt and up the side to a black enameled buckle and is held in position by a leather thong that wraps around the grip area of the case. There is also a carrying strap on the bottom. This wonderful rifle is further accompanied by a large collection of documentation regarding Lieutenant Murphy, who served in the U.S. Army from 1858 until retiring in 1900. He served through the Civil War in the 5th Artillery and engaged in a variety of battles through the end of the war. After the war, he re-enlisted in the 14th Infantry and served on the frontier, including the 1876 Sioux Campaign. He fought in the Philippine Expedition in 1898 and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He died May 3, 1920, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
The consignor has compiled a tremendous amount of information regarding Colonel Murphy and the order of descent for this rifle to the current owner, all of which will go to the new owner. This rifle was the featured cover of the September 1987 Gun Report and an article on page 58. The consignor has also obtained several pictures and copies of pictures of Colonel Murphy at various stages in his military career. This information fills an entire 3-ring binder and large envelope and is too voluminous to synopsize in this limited space. Ser-none. CONDITION: Very good to excellent, the barrel retains 94-96% strong original finish with only light muzzle wear and a few tiny handling and use nicks and scratches. The rear sight retains about 95% original finish and the front sight about 10% of its original gold wash. All the case hardened appointments retain most of their case hardening with 10-15% faded, visible colors, stronger in sheltered areas. The nose cap retains about 95% of its original silver plating. The stock is sound and retains most of its original oil finish with some minor scratches opposite the lock plate and a small ding and light scratches on the buttstock. The diamond points and checkering are moderately worn down and smooth. The brilliant, shiny bore attests to a succession of caring owners. The front 3/5 of the case is dry and flexed and has lost 25-30% of its original finish. The rear 2/5 retains most of its original finish. The embroidered name is completely intact. A most spectacular rifle with complete provenance and a wonderful opportunity for someone to own a ready-made item of history. 4-41807 JR361 Offered without estimate.
