NOTES FROM THE FIELD:  27 February 2010.  AN OVERLOOKED AND PROMISING FIELD OF GUN COLLECTING: I've been observing the entire gun industry for several decades now and there has been a major shift in modern firearms.  This, of course, is the shift toward synthetics and hi-tech metallurgy. I think it's pretty safe to say that gone are the days of standard production rifles sporting polished blued steel parts and figured walnut stocks.  Also gone are the days of Colt and Smith & Wesson mainly producing REVOLVERS with blued or nickel finish on their steel frames with checkered walnut grips containing inletted logo medallions. Thus, the topic of a new field of interest for collectors and investors. It is my opinion that classic Colt and S&W double action revolvers of the 1900 to approx. 1960 time period are a new and fertile field for collectors.  This was the golden age of beautiful and functional products that simply are no more.  This time period also contained several wars in which our armed servicemen relied upon Colt and S&W revolvers in many different models and various calibers. Automatic pistols have pretty well replaced the revolver and those double action revolvers that are still being made today share little of the hand fitting, polishing and general overall panache of their predecessors. The revolvers made during this earlier time couldn't be produced today simply because of the skilled man-hours required to manufacture them. The cost of a pre-war Colt Officers Model Target revolver or S&W Hand-Ejector Target revolver for instance would be astronomical! Yet, these and other superb arms are often available on the used gun market at a price actually less than the cost of many new handguns! The models made by each company during this time are many and in each model there are variations- some quite rare- that offer the collector a wide field of endeavor.  And nearly all at a very reasonable price.  Another plus is that not only can these arms be enjoyed for their fine workmanship, rarity or individual "personality," but in most cases can be shot and used with readily available common ammo or reloads.  In my experience, most of the Colts and S&Ws of this era were meticulously built and sighted at the factory so that even fixed sighted service revolvers usually shoot right to point of aim with standard ammo. Another plus is the recent supreme court ruling (Heller-Washington, D.C. case of 2008) which has eased the minds of many gun owners (including me!)  concerning the future of gun control laws especially with regard to handguns. It will be interesting to watch the prices on these guns over time.  I've already seen prices start to move higher.  It's my opinion that they will continue to escalate for the foreseeable future. (This "Notes from the Field" will be my way of communicating with you- on an opinion basis- topics pertaining to gun collecting and related subjects as I see them.  I'll update it from time to time.  Thanks for reading-  Bill Goodman)

COLT FIRE ARMS (click text for photos

1. VERY SCARCE  SPECIAL ORDER SINGLE ACTION, MADE 1927, letter states this unusual revolver is a .32-20 with 5 1/2" barrel, with special features listed as: checkered walnut grips (fleur-de-lis with deep dish medallions), CHECKERED STRAP AND TRIGGER (back strap and trigger guard), and shipped to A. Baldwin, New Orleans, Louisiana on December 3, 1927.  I've seen only a very few SAAs ordered with checkered back straps, but NEVER seen one with a checkered front strap or trigger guard!  Interestingly, it was the engravers who usually did this work and they added a little scroll engraving to the top and bottom of the checkering pattern on the back strap and the bottom of the pattern on the front strap, overall, just a gray/brown gun with some small dings and marks from bad storage, still retains a good appearance with exc. screws and action, fine bore, uncleaned, front sight as not been filed, grips show a little wear and barely one tiny, worn-in chip at the bottom left corner, still retains some traces of dark case color in the most protected areas and on the hammer back, one of the more interesting single actions I've encountered with a great shipping destination! cheap for such a rarity, $4650.

2. SPECTACULAR SINGLE ACTION .45 COLT, 5 1/2" MADE 1917, this one has seen very little use and retains most of the original bright blue and vivid case colors with only very minor edge wear, exc. tight action, exc. grips (the right one is numbered to the gun the left is different and just very, very slightly oversized which could be made to fit perfectly), front sight has NOT been altered or filed, even the grip straps show nearly all the bright blue, perfect bright bore, great blue on screws and cylinder pin, would be hard to improve upon, and getting difficult to find this fine for this kind of price.  $5950.

About the finest I've seen.  This rifle is an original matching numbered barrel and action (bottom of barrel under forearm factory marked "ST" and "ES" for set trigger and extra sights), caliber marking is "40 S" which I assume is .40-70 straight, barrel has been re-lined (perfect bore), receiver has been bone and charcoal pack harden case colored, I was told by the previous owner that it is a restoration by Doug Turnbull and master engraver/gunsmith John Chippers, The action is expertly engraved with scrolls on sides, receiver top and trigger guard with a fabulous leaping whitetail deer on the right side- all done in the correct 1870-1890 style, the rear of the barrel is also engraved as a band at the muzzle and even the flat of the muzzle is engraved around the circle of the liner!

(note: 7 photos- the photo of the right side of receiver looks like the engraving is washed out, it is NOT, just the reflection of bright photo lights).
6. ONE OF THE RAREST OF BALLARD MODELS: MERWIN & BRAY AGENT MARKED DUAL RIM FIRE AND PERCUSSION 20 GA. SHOTGUN, MADE IN 1868, this one is listed by serial number in the Ballard book by John Dutcher (recently published) as one of only five examples he had encountered.  It is only the second one I've seen in 25 years, very limited production, smooth brown overall with some light rust pitting on the right receiver side and a spot on the receiver top- minor, correct un-cut 30" barrel, needs steel forend tip only, tight action, steel shotgun butt plate, VG bore, $1495.

According to Flayderman's Guide and The Standard Catalogue of Smith & Wesson (books) it is believed some of these early U.S. Schofields were nickel plated, obviously the nickel on this revolver is period correct as the wear is consistent and all the markings in the metal are sharp and clear- including the U.S. and serial number on the butt which retains full nickel finish, barrel, latch, cylinder and grips have the same matching serial number as the frame, correct length un-cut barrel, frame, hammer, latch and grip straps show fine bright nickel, cylinder and forward part of trigger guard show flaking nickel to uncleaned brown metal, barrel side also show heavy nickel loss from typical holster wear with good nickel in the flute under top barrel rib, fine action and bore (cylinder stop spring only is weak or broken), fine walnut grips, uncleaned overall, lots of frontier history in this one! $4250.

4) SPECIAL ORDER FACTORY GOLD PLATED FIRST MODEL SAFETY HAMMERLESS .32 REVOLVER, factory letter states this revolver was shipped to E. K. Tryon Co., Philadelphia, PA on Dec. 15, 1891 and was a SPECIAL ORDER, but the invoice is not readable to verify the barrel length or finish, however, Roy Jinks (S&W Historian) who provided the letter continues "I would assume that since it is a special order that the finish was gold plating."  This gun was obviously carried a bit as the soft gold has worn from much of the cylinder and edges, but still retains a good portion of the gold, fine gold on grips straps,  matching numbers, fine pearl grips, exc. mech. possibly a special Christmas gift as it was shipped ten days before that date almost 118 years ago!  $795.

 WINCHESTER  RIFLES  and  SHOTGUNS (click text for photos) .

1. ONE OF THE FINEST 1866 MUSKETS I'VE SEEN AND CERTAINLY THE BEST I'VE EVER OFFERED! 3RD. MODEL, MADE 1870, retains nearly all the deep/rich barrel and mag blue with just some very minor freckling/ageing, original sights, exc. wood with only the most minor of handling, perfect wood to metal fit, uncleaned mellow brass, fine blue on loading gate, exc. bore, lever spring only weak- easily replaced, exc. screws that still retain blue! sling swivels intact, a fabulous 1866!  Amazing for 140 years old. Expensive sure, but I'd rather have this outstanding example than two average no-finish ones at $5800 each.  Think about it.  This would bring a much higher price at any decent auction.  $11,600. (note: bright photo lights reflected off bottom photo of barrel/mag blue. The blue is better than photo shows.)
2. 1873 .44-40 ROUND BARREL RIFLE MADE 1887, fine example that retains attractive aged blue to plum on barrel and mag., exc. markings, receiver shows fine blue starting to mix with plum in the more exposed areas, uncleaned or dinged brass lifter engraved ".44 CAL," dust cover intact, exc. wood shows light handling only, original sights, hammer spring screw in bottom tang under lever replaced with a very old and aged copper rivet- easily replaced or just left as is, bore if a little dark but has fine rifling and should clean to fine+ at least, exc. Lyman tang sight with folding aperture intact, fine appearance, $2750.
3. 1873 SPECIAL ORDER 28" OCT. BARREL, FULL MAG, SET TRIGGER AND SHOTGUN BUTT, .44-40 CALIBER, MADE 1882, overall an uncleaned deep aged plum brown patina, weak half cock notch only, uncleaned dark wood looks a bit dry and could use a good clean and some stock oil, buckhorn rear sight needs elevator bar only (minor), blade front sight, un-polished mellow brass lifter, a few minor dings and scratches from age and storage, set part of trigger needs adjustment to set properly (works fine without being set) VG bore is a bit dark and has some scattered light roughness that may scour out, worth a little careful cleaning, $1950.
4. 1873 FACTORY .44-40, 20" OCTAGON SHORT RIFLE, SHIPPED IN 1910 TO THE AMERICAN TRADING COMPANY, NEW YORK, FOR EXPORT!  Has the correct short forearm used on Short Rifles, fine markings, exc. dark walnut stocks with only minor handling marks, plum/brown receiver with fine blue on loading gate, original dust cover, brown barrel and mag tube, fairly bright fine bore should clean to near exc. Most of these saw very hard use and abuse (inside and out), this is a nice one much better than normally encountered, Cody Firearms Museum call in letter included, $2150.
5. REALLY NICE 1876 .45-75 CALIBER OCTAGON RIFLE, MADE 1883, (will letter correctly), fine slightly aged barrel blue overall, mag tube turning an uncleaned brown, deep aged  receiver blue with nice blue on the loading gate, exc. wood with some black powder staining on right side of butt stock that should be easy to remove, , fine bore a little dark with good rifling, correct 1876 marked ladder sight with slide intact, original dust cover, unpolished mellow brass lifter, this one has a great appearance, $4250.
6. 1886 .45-90, ROUND BARREL, SPECIAL ORDER HALF MAGAZINE, CRESCENT BUTT, WITH FACTORY LETTER, SHIPPED 1909, exc. barrel and mag blue showing just some minor dulling from age, receiver sides show good original blue that is thinning toward the front and gray on the bottom and edges, good blue on bolt, exc. bore, exc. wood, original sights, tight action, this is a scarce rifle as by this late date most of the 1886 production was the extra light weight .45-70s and .33 WCFs, great caliber and lots of condition.  $3950.
7. SPECIAL ORDER 1886 TAKEDOWN .33WCF CALIBER WITH SCARCE FULL MAGAZINE, MADE 1910, standard on these was a half mag with full magazines on special order only, exc. screws, tight takedown, exc. hard rubber shotgun butt plate with Winchester logo, exc. wood, exc. barrel and mag blue, exc. blue on bolt, receiver blue turning an uncleaned plum,  perfect bright bore, a really handsome '86 that hasn't been cleaned or fooled with! $2495.
8. 1886 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .40-65 CALIBER MADE 1895, uncleaned gray/brown mottled receiver, good aged barrel and mag blue, original sights, fine bore is a little dark with good rifling a few spots of light roughness that may clean better, fine wood shows normal handling and has the tiniest of chips at the upper tang corners- got to look carefully to see it, tight action and mech., $2900.

10. HIGH CONDITION UNUSUAL 1892 .32-20 WITH RARE HALF OCTAGON BARREL WITH FULL MAGAZINE, MADE 1916, this was actually TWO special order features as half oct. rifles were automatically shipped with half magazines unless specially requested full magazine, exc. deep barrel and mag blue, exc. receiver blue with gray on bottom of receiver and on bottom edges, exc. blue on bolt and even shows most of the deep blue on the upper tang and forend cap, exc. bore & screws & wood, investment quality, $2950.
11. 1892 .44-40 20" OCTAGON SHORT RIFLE, this is a distinct variation that I have both observed several times myself and heard of from other collectors, all were in the nine hundred thousand serial range, all were octagon barrel guns with both the oval P proof and Winchester proof, all had British Proofs, and all had the extra short 7 3/8" forends usually found on trapper short rifles with barrels less than 20." (Standard length was 9 3/8", most short rifles had 8 3/8").  It is believed that these rifles were made up as a parts clean-up at the end of the 1892 production and sent to the British for civilian/guard use in the early years of W.W.II (before we entered the war in 1941).  Apparently Winchester had a number of these short forends on hand as all of these had them and as such there is the extra dovetail in the bottom of the barrel where the longer 8 3/8" forend cap would have fit. Overall, perfect bright bore, exc. wood, exc. late style receiver blue with light scratches in the finish only, original sights, exc. barrel and mag blue, more needs to be written about these historic last of the 1892 model. $2850.
12. DELUXE SPECIAL ORDER 1892 .25-20 RIFLE WITH FACTORY LETTER, #265XXX, letter states: rifle, cal. 25-20, 1/2 octagon barrel, checkered stock with pistol grip, Lyman front with Winchester High Velocity, 1/2 magazine, plain pistol grip, rifle butt, sporting sight, black powder, rec'd in warehouse 10/30/07 and shipped 7/31/08 (letter also mentions shotgun butt with rubber butt plate- contradicts earlier mention of rifle butt which this rifle has!) Anyway, that's the good news.  The bad news is that this rifle has been completely reblued, the barrel cut about 1 1/2 inches and relined in .25-20. Still retains the tang sight, has Lyman blade/bead front sight and Marbles buckhorn rear sight, fine wood with correct Winchester grip cap, perfect bore, tight action, Rare gun to enjoy for $1450.
13. VERY EARLY 1894 .32-40 ROUND BARREL RIFLE #18XXX, MADE 1895, surprisingly exc. bore! fine receiver blue that is mixing a little plum but still shows good original blue, barrel and mag turning an uncleaned plum/brown, part of rear sight only broken, tight action, exc. screws, exc. wood with only light handling marks, correct hook-eye swivels look original, exc. blue on loading gate, $1595.

17. SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .38-55 FACTORY 22" ROUND BARREL SHORT RIFLE WITH 2/3 MAGAZINE, MADE 1916, has the correct 1 inch shorter than standard forearm used only on short rifles, much more scarce than the usual short rifle length of 20" and especially rare in .38-55 caliber, fine slightly aged barrel blue, exc. mag. blue, receiver blue thinning and mixing brown, fine bore shows some wear and frostiness, exc. wood with light handling only, there can't be many in this caliber made like this one, $2250.

ROUND BARREL, FULL MAG., .30WCF, #992XXX, MADE 1926, sometimes these late production rifles have unusual features as the factory was using up parts before discontinuing the rifle model in favor of only producing carbines, I've only seen a couple '94s with this feature in 20+ years, exc. wood, fine deep barrel blue, mag tube thinning a little with some wear/discoloration at the last couple inches of the tube, receiver blue shows most coverage but is mixing plum as is typical on these late receivers (most have flaked to silver), exc. blue on bolt and loading gate, exc. bore, Marbles sights appear factory, unusual rifle. $995.

RIGHT OUT OF MEXICO! 1895 SADDLE RING CARBINE .30-40 CALIBER, AMAZINGLY STILL RETAINS THE HANDGUARD, A PANCHO VILLA ERA CARBINE MADE 1915, these were very popular in the Southwest and in Mexico (I found this one in Arizona and the owner said he got it in Mexico), VG wood shows lots of handling, but not cracked and basically solid, surprisingly fine bore! fine action, string pull-through cleaning rod in butt trap, metal an uncleaned brown with some pitting on left side of receiver on top half and a little on bolt, great frontier appearance and appeal.  I really like this kind of stuff and almost kept this one myself! $1295.
