U.S. MODEL 1816 WICKHAM CONTRACT FLINTLOCK MUSKET Dated 1830
Nice unconverted martial flintlock musket. Walnut stock is nice and dark with one
sliver missing just behind the nose cap. Two cartouches are visible, but are weak.
Lock markings behind the hammer, being "Phila / 1830" in two vertical
lines are very strong. The markings in front of the hammer "U.S. / M.T.
Wickham" are somewhat obscured by moderate pitting from firing. The breach
markings being a "P" in a depressed circle and and stamped "U.S." are
readable with the "P" being strong. All metal is brown and smooth with the
exception of the lock in front of the hammer, and the breach on the lock side, which
exhibits moderate pitting consistent with use. The frizzen has been relined after
wearing from use and that lining has worn through as well. This gun was fired! A
nice honest martial flintlock! $ 2495.00 |

U.S. MODEL 1842 SPRINGFIELD .69 CALIBER SMOOTHBORE MUSKET, Dated
1846
Very nice condition, with wood showing light use, but no abuse, and all metal being mostly
bright, with just a bit of darkening. Can't see any cartouche on the stock, but all
markings on the metal are clear, with the barrel date matching the lock date of 1846
(Mexican War period). This is a very good looking "two war" weapon! $

U.S. MODEL 1861 NORWICH CONTRACT RIFLE-MUSKET
The black walnut stock is nice with visible cartouches (the cartouches are a bit light and
very tough to photo, so I added arrows to point them out). The lock markings are
strong, and the barrel date and proof marks are good, with a little "salt &
pepper" micro-pitting around the barrel date and breach. All metal is smooth
gray to brown. The rifling is still pretty strong inside the bore, but there
are some splotchy darker, rougher areas. Don't think the rammer is original, but
looks nice. Mechanically crisp. All in all a pretty nice example. $2295.00 |

BEAUTIFUL MAPLE STOCKED PERCUSSION HUNTING RIFLE
About 54" overall with a heavy 38" hexagonal rifled barrel, this is about a .30
caliber weapon. The Lock is engraved with floral motif and a hunting scene, and you
can see the word "Brothers" in front of the hammer, but cannot make out what was
originally above that. The metal has been somewhat overcleaned and the screw in the hammer
does not appear to be original, but this is a nice attractive piece. $ 995.00 |

COLT MODEL 1860 .44 CALIBER ARMY REVOLVER S/N

Manufactured in 1863, this is a very solid and attractive weapon, with brown to grey metal
and a strong cylinder scene. The walnut grips have two cartouches visible, one a bit
weaker than the other. The action is strong and all serial numbers match including
the wedge. There is a crack on the top of the very end of the loading lever, but the

Manufactured in 1863, this is a very solid and attractive weapon, with grey metal and a
good cylinder scene. The walnut grips have two cartouches visible, the action is
good and all serial numbers match including the wedge. The Colt name and address was
