The Merwin, Hulbert & Co. “Frontier” Large Frame Single Action Revolver, was made circa the late 1870s to the late 1880s in Norwich, Connecticut. During its 12-year life Merwin, Hulbert & Co. produced no fewer than 14 different revolvers. The Frontier Model was a large-frame single action, that was meant to compete with the Colt Single Action Army, 1875 Remington and Smith & Wesson Model 3 revolvers. These revolvers are considered today to be some of the best made of the late 19th Century and the Wild West, even better to some than similar Colts and Smith & Wessons, though we all know who stood the test of time. These revolvers certainly tended to have different, very well-thought features than their competition, and they were extremely well-made.  One great feature was the method of ejection. Loading was achieved by placing the hammer at half-cock and sliding down the loading gate to single feed cartridges. If one wanted to unload the gun, they could simply push the latch back on the bottom of the gun, twist the barrel and cylinder assembly and pull forward. Only the empty brass would come out as the space created was shorter than a loaded cartridge, enabling the shooter to top of his gun and keep rounds available. An ingenious method was designed to achieve this that included a machined cut on the cylinder axis pin and a ledge on the breech face that kept the cartridge rims underneath. This system was also advantageous for forcefully removing stuck cartridges, providing lots of mechanical advantage.  Merwin & Hulbert arms were owned or carried by number of famous frontier lawmen and notables, including Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (who ambushed and killed Bonnie & Clyde) who carried a medium frame seven-shot .32 caliber Merwin & Hulbert. Pat Garrett (the killer of Billie the Kid) was presented with an inscribed .38 Medium Frame Merwin & Hulbert in September of 1881 from the “grateful citizens of Lincoln County”, and Diamond Dick of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show carried a Merwin & Hulbert as well. More notorious frontiersmen known to have owned and carried Merwin & Hulbert revolvers include Bob Dalton, Sam Bass, and John Wesley Hardin, just to name a few. The overall condition is good, retaining 30% of its nickel finish, with rest having turned a silver/grey patina. The action functions well, with a solid lock-up. The bore is shootable, with sharp rifling, but is frosty throughout.  The grips are solid, fit very well, and have turned a brown color from the original black, but they are in fine condition.  A great example of big bore Merwin & Hulbert Revolver.  Note, the front sight has been filed down.   NOTE:  Under the right grip panel is scratched "E.

With a total production of approximately 7,000, 1st Model Dragoons were a great improvement over the previous Walker Models and found immediate demand from the U.S. Government and civilian purchasers due to their strength and reliability, the most significant being the shortening of the cylinder which prevented the over-loading of the powder charge.  Compared to the previous standard issue, single shot sidearms that had been in service for over a hundred years, these rapid fire, six shot models revolutionized battlefield tactics, first with the marauding indians in the southwest, and shortly thereafter with the U.S. Cavalry engaged in the Civil War.  They were the harbinger of all modern revolvers. Approximately 3,000 1st Models were purchased by the U.S. Government, and like this example, were stamped "U.S." on the frame under the Colt Patent, and with the inspector's cartouche on both sides of the grip handles.  Most saw hard use, and to find one in good working condition with all matching serial numbers and some cylinder scene is rare. This gun, which is all numbers matching (serial # 6460), was manufactured in 1848, and has survived in good, above average condition.  It is tight, has all orignal parts, and has been well used but not abused.  The action functions smoothly, the bore is fair, the nipples are good, and it could still function as well as it did 175 years ago.  It is an attractive and excellent surviving example of this histroic Colt revolover.  While all Dragoons are collectible, 1st Models purchased by the government are the most desirable.   NOTE:  It is fitted with a 7 1/2 inch barrel and weighs 4.2 pounds.

We just bought this 6 inch barrel Python from the original owner.  He bought it new around 1988 and never shot it.  It was stored in a safe and still is in new condition.  Unfortunately the outside of the box is in rough condition and is missing the end label.  The styrofoam insert is fine and  contains the owners manual.  Only a few of the early Pythons came with wood grips, the majority have the black rubber.  The grips alone add $300 to the value of this Python and it is a hard variation to find.  The stainless steel variation still seems to be going up in value.

WWII Vintage Japanese Nambu Pistol with Holster, Cal. 8mm Nambu

Just received this very nice 1936 vintage Japanese Nambu pistol with flap holster, extra magazine (later version), and firing pin.  The pistol is all numbers matching (firing pin does not have a number) except for the 2 magazines.    It is in excellent condition, retaining 96% of its original blue, the grips are also in excellent condition, with minimal handling dings, the bore is bright with sharp rifling, and the action functions perfectly.  The holster is in very fine condition, with no tears or major cracks, there is some seam seperation and leather missing on the hinge/flap.  A gereat example of its type.

.38 Military & Police (Postwar) "Pre Model 10", Cal. 38 Special

Mint condition, 5-screw,  Military & Police Pre-Model 10 revolver chambered in 38 Special.  This 1949-1950 vintage gun is fitted with a 4 inch barrel and checkered walnut diamond grips (number to the gun).  The barrel and cylinder also number to the gun.  It retains about 98-99% of its original blue finish, the hammer and trigger retain 98% of their original color case-hardening, and the grips are in near excellent condition, due to a ding on the right grip above the medallion.  All screw heads are un-molested, the bore is bright, and the action functions as new.  A very nice example of its type, with a good presentation.  Military & Police 38 Specials, in this condition, are getting harder to find.

Colt Single Action Peacemaker, 1st Generation, 2 Serial Number, Cal. 38/40

A very nice pre-1920, 1st Generation Single Action in .38 WCF (38/40) caliber.  This gun, serial numbered 338xxx, was actually manufactured in 1919 and is one of only a few guns with two visable serial numbers showing, visable on the frame and on the backstrap.  During this period, Colt began to move the serial numbers on the trigger guard and backstrap, to underneath the grips.  The gun is in excellent, original condition, with 90% original blue and case-hardening, a near perfect bore, and comes with its original black shipping carton containing the wire cleaning brush.  The box is labeled and serial numbered  to the gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 66-1, 2 1/2 Inch, Cal. .357 Magnum

Made in 1981 this Model 66-1 was made early enough to still have a recessed cylinder and pinned barrel.  In 1982 the 66-2 was introduced, which eliminated these two desirable features.  This gun has been carried (has a number of minor surface scratches from holstering) and shot, but is in overall nice condition.

This is the first model semi automatic pistol that Smith ?

Wesson Model 27 with the 5 inch barrel.  This "S" serial numbered, 1968 vintage Model 27 is in fantastic condition, retaining 99% of its original blue finish, with only some very minor thinning at the muzzle and on the cylinder release button, and a drag line on the cylinder.  The numbered to the gun grips are in excellent condition, with only a few minor handling marks.  The bore is bright, with sharp rifling, and the action is tight and functions perfectly.  A very nice example of the Cadillac of 357 Magnums.

Colt 1848 Baby Dragoon, .31 Cal.

This is a very early 4 inch gun, serial number 450, in a Paterson type case with the beveled or raised panel lid, with flask, bullet mold and cap tin.  The flask is double faced, marked "Colt's Patent".  These cases were transition boxes with partitions, but were not used after 1850 and are very hard to find today.  The gun shows traces of original finish, especially the silver on the grip straps, and very nice grips.  There is some cylinder scene remaining and all other markings are crisp and clear.  A nice example of its type.

Colt Double Action Model of 1878, Cal. 44/40, Shipped to Collow Row Bill

This Colt Double Action, etched panel, Model of 1878 was shipped to Collow Row Bill on July 21, 1883.  We cannot find anything about him, but he must have been an exhibition shooter in his day.  Gun is fitted with factory installed ivory grips, is nickel finished, and is inscribed on the back-strap "COLLOW ROW BILL" and "Champion Pistol Shot of America".  Included is a factory letter attesting to the grips, finish, and who it was shipped to.  An interesting Colt 1878.

Winchester Model 62, Cal. 22 S, L, LR

The Model 62 Winchester is a later/modern version of the Winchester model 1890.  They were made from 1932 to 1958, with over 409,000 manufactured.  The little slide action rifles were fitted with a 23 inch round or oxtagon barrel, full blue finished, and were chambered in .22 S, L, ? LR interchangeably.  This rifle retains most all of its original blue finish with some thinning from the forearm rubbing against the barrel, and assorted handling marks and minor spotting.  The stock and forearm retain all of their original finish with only some minor handling marks and dings.  The bore is bright, with sharp rifling, and the action is tight and functions as new.  A very nice Winchester Model 62, would be a great collectable or shooter, or both.

2nd Generation Colt Single Action 125th Anniversary Commemorative, Cal. .45 LC

The 125th Anniversary Colt SAA Commemorative was manufactured in 1961 to celebrate the 125th birthday of Colt Manufacturing.  There were 7,390 of these guns made with this one being the 3,450th one made.  It is new/unfired and comes in its original wood presentation case. It retains all of its original finishes, with the exception of a spot on the left side of the hammer.  The wood presetation cas is in excellent condition, with only a few very minor handling marks.  Also included is a 125th Anniversary key chain.  I feel these are sleepers of the Colt SAA's, especially since they are 2nd Generation guns.

Remington Model 16 "C" Special Grade, Cal. 22 Remington Automatic

According to the "Blue Book" this rifle was only made between 1914 and 1928.  This "Special Grade" is quite rare and in 41 years we have never seen another.  it has deluxe wood and checkering which is not found on the standard grade.  It also has presentation engraving on the receiver: LEE HUNT TAYLOR, ITHACA, N.Y. Sept. 23, 1946.  It would be interewsting to find out more about Mr. Taylor.  The other special features is a special order Lyman tang sight that would have to be unique to this model rifle.  Unfortunately the metal is an old reblue, and shows some pitting of the metal under the blue.  This rifle is rare enough to be collectable as is, but it could be refinished again with a proper rust blue to enhance its value.

Colt Police Positive Target, Cal. .32

Starting in 1925 Colt produced the Police Positive .32 Target Model on the new heavier frame.  They stopped production 10 years later in 1935 with a total production of only 3,351, compared to the 15,741 of the .22 heavy frame target revolvers.  That makes this varient one of the lowest production revolvers made by Colt.  This example was made in 1932 when the USA's economy was in a depression and not many shooters could afford such a nice revolver.  The overall condition is excellent with a mint bore, nearly perfect grips and 98% blue.  It does have a few very minor isloated rust specks on the frame that are visable in the pictures.  It would be hard to improve on this target model for either the collector or target shooter.

Colt Lawman MK III, Cal. .357 Magnum

The Colt Lawman MK III was made from 1969 to 1983.  The 6-shot revolvers were fitted with either a 2 or 4 inch barrel, either a unshrouded or shrouded ejector rod, fixed sights, checkered walnut grips, blue or nickel finish, and were chambered in .357 Magnum.  This gun is as described and is fitted with a 2 inch barrel, with a unshrouded ejector rod, and is blue finished.  The gun is in like new condition, with only a drag line on the cylinder.  It has been shot, but very little from its appearance.  Comes with its original numbered to the gun box.  Tough looking Colt .357 Magnum snubby.

Danish M47 Madsen Rifle, Cal. 30-06

Made for the South American country of Columbia, they were one of the last bolt action rifles made for military use.  It was not a popular design due to the fact that most military rifles were semi-automatic by that time.  This rifle is "Brand New".  It is full of cosmoline and we are sure that it is unfired.  It even comes with a mint matching serial numbered bayonet.  It would be impossibel to improve on!

S/42 (Mauser) Luger 1938 Date, WWII Vintage, Cal. 9mm

The Nazi war machine was in full swing in 1938 and they produced around 100,000 Lugers that year.  This example in in excellent original condition with a mint bore an 97% blue finish, with theonly visable wear on the high edges that rub on the inside of the holster.  it comes complete with a 1939 dated holster and two un-numbered fxo extruded magazines.  These magazines by them selves would sell in the $150 range each.  This rig was some WWII GI's war trophy and was very well taken care of.

The Ithaca 1911A1 handguns were made from 1943 to 1945, with 369,129 manufactured.  This is an excellent example of its type, appearing to have had very little use.  All stampings are sharp, the bore is bright with sharp rifling, and the action functions perfectly.  A great looking 1911A1.
