CIPPY CRAZYHORSE QUINTANA
CIPPY CRAZYHORSE QUINTANA STERLING BELT BUCKLECippy Crazy Horse Quintana (Native American, B. 1946) small sterling silver Southwestern design belt buckle of rounded-edge rectangular design, signed "CZH" (Cippy Crazyhorse Quintana) & marked sterling. Buckle itself measures 1-1/2" in height with width of 2" & has weight of 1.10 OzT. All measurements are approximate.
Born Cipriano Quintana to renowned jewelers Terecita and Joe H. Quintana, Cippy Crazy Horse has carried on the classic traditional Pueblo designs his parents started. To these classic designs, Crazy Horse brings his personal style. The bold, deep stamp and chisel designs on this gauge silver are his trademark. Much of the thick gauge silver comes from melting scrap silver into ingots - a process the “old timers” incorporated. Crazyhorse says of his work, “There are two traditional classic styles in silver jewelry, the Navajo and the Pueblo, and I do the latter; from cuff bracelets to concha belts, ranger sets, buckles and bead necklaces.” Following high school, Crazyhorse attended Eastern New Mexico University in Portales for 2-1/2 years and then served in the US Navy until 1972. Upon returning home to Cochiti, Crazyhorse worked as an electrician’s assistant on the construction of Cochiti Dam, but an injury in 1974 curtailed that line of work. According to Crazyhorse, the injury “forced his hand at silversmithing.” He started with the smaller tasks of making silver chains and gradually taught himself the old style of silversmithing. With much support and encouragement from his father and wife, Susan, his silversmithing began earnestly. Crazy Horse has received much recognition for his work, having garnered his share of ribbons at the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts Indian Market in Santa Fe & is considered a "Master Silversmith" & his work is in numerous collections & books on Native American jewelry.

TWO (2) AMERICANA BOOKS OF THE
TWO (2) AMERICANA BOOKS OF THE OLD WESTOffered in this lot are two (2) Books of the Old West, "On The Border With Crook" by John C. Bourke and "Owyhee Cattlemen 1878 1978 100 Years In The Saddle" by Mildretta Adams. "On the Border with Crook" has long been regarded as one of the best firsthand accounts of frontier army life. More than simply an account of General Crook, Bourke writes with unparalleled detail of the landscape of the Southwest, impressions on the forts and communities in Arizona Territory, and the hardships of frontier service, in addition to the exciting and honest accounts of combat. What is most impressive about Bourke’s work is the equal time he gives to both soldier and Native American alike, making "On the Border with Crook" the essential book for those interested in the history of the American frontier. Originally written in 1891, after serving over fifteen years (1870-1886) with General George Crook, Bourke sat down to write this memoir of his hero. He brings to life the frontier, the plains, and the Southwest as well as Native American heroes Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo. Far more than a first-hand account of Crook's campaigns during the Plains Indian wars and in the Southwest. Alert, curious, and perceptive, Bourke brings to life the whole frontier scene. In crisp descriptions and telling anecdotes he recreates the events and landscapes through which he moved; he sketches sharp action-pictures not only of Crook and his fellow cavalrymen. Perhaps most important, Bourke shows us how General Crook was able to achieve his most remarkable victory—how this man of war won and deserved the trust of the tribes he had subjugated. "Owyhee Cattlemen 1878 1978 100 Years In The Saddle" chronicles the first hundred years of existence for the Owyhee Cattlemen's Association, the oldest such group in Idaho and one of the oldest in the entire United States. Formed in 1878 to protect Owyhee Mountain ranchers against warring Bannock Indians. This book also chronicles the first one hundred years of settlers to the area initially arriving due to the mining boom of the latter 19th century that dominated Idaho Territory. Silver City and Ruby City developed as boom towns. At its height in the 1880s, Owyhee County was among the most populous places in Idaho. Today it is among the least populous, at 1.4 persons per square mile. These two books are in good overall condition, "On The Border..." has a stamped gold gilt illustrated hardcover and gold gilt top edge, bottom edge and fore edge pages and measures 5.75"W x 8.5"L. "Owyhee Cattlemen..." measures 8.5"W x 11.5"L

HE DOG OGLALA - CA. 1878 WINCHESTER
HE DOG OGLALA - CA. 1878 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SRCThis is a rare Winchester Model 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine serial number 16399 ordered by He Dog, marked “Crazy Horse rode with He Dog” and B.F. Flower 1879. The piece comes accompanied by a signed document from Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc. Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The firearm was examined by Wendell Grangaard, author and historian on Custer, the Battle of the Little Bighorn as well as the Togia language. Wendell noted the firearm being marked as such in Togia and English: On the left side of the receiver cover is marked He Dog with an illustration of a dog, below this is “B.F. Flower 1879” and in front of the dog, Crazy Horse rode with He Dog (illustration 1); On the left side of the stock is marked son of He Dog – Eagle Hawk (illustration 2); On the right side of the stock is the signature mark of Standing Bear (illustration 3). It is noted in the signed document that in July 1877, General Crook told Crazy Horse he could have one last buffalo hunt, with the date set for August 15, 1877. Crooks notified the trading post and traders that they were permitted to sell weapons to anyone participating in the buffalo hunt. He Dog ordered and purchased a Winchester from Long Joe Larrabee a French trader from St. Cloud on the Missouri River who had a trading post at Fort Robinson. The hunt was delayed when Crazy Horse was arrested and killed at the Fort on September 5, 1877. After returning from Washington in October 1877, He Dog formed a breakout of Soreback band members and they fled into Canada to join Sitting Bull. He Dog brought his first wife, and left behind his 13-year old son Joseph Eagle Hawk with his second wife, Rock mother to He Dog’s daughter They Keep Her Horse. She stayed with her people the Soreback Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux in the White Clay District on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The gun was delivered to Long Joe Larrabee at his trading post Fort Robinson in the spring of 1878 to He Dog’s wife, Rock. Rock knew the way of the Togia and that “lemita” (my possession) must be placed on the new Winchester carbine, so she asked Standing Bear to inscribe the rifle with her husbands name. The winter of 1878-1879 was long, cold and turbulent causing Rock to need to sell the firearm for necessary supplies for her family. She sold it to a teamster who was hailing supplies to the new Pine Ridge Agency. As part of trading the Winchester , Rock told B.F. Flowers, the teamster, to put his name below her husbands in the tradition of Togia. So he marked the gun B.F. Flowers 1879 below He Dog’s name. B.F. Flowers or B. Franklin Flowers was born on August 2, 1819, and was employed by the Department of the Platte for General Crooks. Flowers hauled supplies out of Fort Omaha, Nebraska. He died on December 21, 1889, and is buried on Lot 079 Pacific Cemetery, Pacific Township, Columbia County, Wisconsin. It is believe He Dog’s son, Joseph Eagle Hawk used the carbine before it was sold to Flowers, as his name is written on the stock in Togia. The Winchester is accompanied with a Winchester Factory Letter noting that this firearm, serial number 16399 as a Carbine shipped May 2, 1878 in Order Number 11740. The firearm is accompanied by the Cody Letter, Signed Provenance Document from Guns of History, and illustrations. The carbine exhibits the saddle ring on the left side, marked on the bottom of the straight grip, “16399”, on the top of the barrel in a two line address “WINCHESTER’S – REPEATING - ARMS. NEW HAVEN, CT / KING’S – IMPROVED – PATENTED – MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16, 1866” and on the back of the frame tang “MODEL 1873”. Has a tilt up site on the barrel and front barrel band site. Hammer exhibits some case hardening and the receiver some original color. Has a 20 inch long round barrel with full length loading tube. Butte plate is a crescent metal with sliding brass window exposing the metal and brass three piece cleaning rod. The lever lock tab functions. The lever works correctly, rolling down pushing the brass ejector up which loads the next round while also cocking back the hammer. The hammer independently will also click back twice holding into place. The trigger releases the hammer appearing to work correctly. The dust cover is present with oblong oval checkered thumb spot. This is an Antique Firearm that does not require an FFL.

BOSTON CUSTER'S COLT CARRIED AT
BOSTON CUSTER'S COLT CARRIED AT LITTLE BIGHORNThis is quite possibly one of the most important Battle of the Little Bighorn firearms ever offered for public sale, a Colt U.S. Cavalry issue Single Action Army revolver owned personally by Boston Custer, youngest brother to George Armstrong Custer, and later owned by Chief Buffalo Hump of the Sans Arc Sioux with complete ownership history and documentation. Under General Terry’s Special-Order Number 117 on June 8, 1874, Colonel Custer acted to prepare his troops for the extended 1874 Black Hills Expedition, obtaining suitable arms for certain non-regular army personnel. Shipment information to Custer at Fort Lincoln, as obtained from jobbers used by the Colt Company, Schuler, Hartley & Graham of New York an H&D Folson, also of New York noted the shipment of six nickel plated revolvers shipped on July 29, 1874 from H&D Folson: Serial numbers 7486, 9977, 12057, 12443, 12937; and 13418 and a shipment from Schuyler, Hartley & Graham included: Serial numbers 10960, 11258, 11722, 11843, 13221, and this revolver, 12364. The nickel revolvers are all documented to 7th Cavalry Indian scouts (see Table 7, beginning at page 148 of the book, Documenting the Weapons Used at the Little Bighorn). The blue finished revolvers are documented, also on Table 7 starting at page 148 identifying serial number 11722 issued to Dr. Porter, 11843 to Dr. Lord, 10960 went to Moses Milner a civilian scout and 12364, the firearm in this lot, issued to Boston Custer who was acting as a packer in the pack train. It is noted by documented testimony from Oglala Sioux Horned Horse that on June 25, 1876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn Horned Horse and Buffalo Hump went together crossing the Greasy Grass River at the ford. They rode to a high point to watch the battle, as Horned Horse was an old man tired of battle. They saw a lone soldier wearing buckskin clothing crossing in front of them to the north, riding a mule that was carrying some bags. Buffalo Hump told Horned Horse he wanted the mule and Horned Horse replied, “Han napiyuza sonsonla (Yes! Capture Mule)”. It should be noted for confirming this story that Captain Frederick W. Benteen, the Company H Commander of the 7th Cavalry gave testimony about Boston Custer, “He was with the pack train, the morning of the 25th, but when Boston overheard trumpeter John Martin’s message from George Custer to me to “…come on and be quick and bring packs,” Boston mounted one of the mules carrying ammunition and rode north.” Also noted 1st Lieutenant Edward S. Godfrey Commander of Company K said this about the Custer brothers, “The Custers wore buckskin suits…” Later Horned Horse and Buffalo Hump were at the spotted of the buckskin wearing man with mule, both found dead. Buffalo Hump took the boots and the revolver from the buckskin wearing young soldier (is clothes being taken by another). As per the body location as noted by 1st Sergeant John M. Ryan, Company M of the 7th Cavalry and Captain Benteen were both on burial crew and stated, “On the battlefield 200 feet down the hill from Last Stand Hill were General George Custer and his brother Tom Custer were killed, lay the bodies of their brother Boston and 18-year-old nephew Harry Armstrong “Autie” Reed. Boston was stripped expect for his stockings.” After the Little Bighorn, Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse rode with Crazy Horse at the Battle of Wolf Mountain against General Miles and the 5th Cavalry. Horned Horse surrendered with Crazy Horse on May 5, 1877 at Fort Robinson to 1st Lieutenant William P. Clark and Horned Horse acted as Crazy Horses interpreter. When Crazy Horse was killed on September 5, 1877, both Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse were present and heard Crazy Horse say on his deathbed, “I have always wanted to go to the land of the Grandmother (Canada). I shall be dead in a few minutes and will then go to the Grandmother’s country. I want you to all follow me”. In spring 1878, Buffalo Hump and some 240 lodges of the Crazy Horse band made their way into Canada including Little Hawk, the Black Elks, Low Dog and Black Fox heading for Sitting Bull’s camp. After arriving at Sitting Bull’s camp, some of their horses were stolen by a local tribe. Nicholas Black Elk and his uncle Running Horse were present on the day of the Buffalo Hump incident and their story was documented, “I was only 15… Our camp had lost some horses during the night. One of the horses belonged to Chief Buffalo Hump. Sitting Bull sent for the Grandmother police, as he was told to do by “Paddy” (Supt. James Morrow Walsh from the North West Mounted Police NWMP). Paddy sent “Big Bull” (Assistant Commissioner Acheson G. Irvine of the NWMP) and two policemen to settle the matter. As Big Bull (Irvine) rode int the camp, Buffalo Hump rant up to him to tell him about his stolen horse.. carrying his revolver in one hand and a knife in the other. Big Bull (Irvine) grabbed the revolver out of Buffalo Hump’s hand… Sitting Bull walked up behind… and said “Austan” (cease, finish, stop) Big Bull (Irvine) found the horses and returned them to Buffalo Bull, but he did not return the revolver. Day later Buffalo Hump asked Big Bull (Irvine) if he could have his gun back, but Big Bull (Irvine) said he had given it to the Commissioner of the NWMP, James Furguharson MacLeod as “Evidence”” Buffalo Hump and his Sans Arc band left Canada and surrendered at Fort Keogh and was transferred in August 1881 to the Spotted Tail Agency in Nebraska. Commissioner MacLeod served from July 22, 1876, to October 31, 1880, and oversaw the moving of police headquarters to Fort MacLeod being accredited with establishing peaceful policies for the NWMP in dealings with First Nations people. It is almost certain that Commissioner MacLeod held the Buffalo Hump Colt at this location. The gun stayed in the NWMP, later changing their name to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP, possession from 1878 until around 1922. In around 1920 William Northcote Taylor joined the RCMP, son of famed Indian Agent in the Northwest Territories William Richard Taylor the agent with whom Dr. Claude Lewis and his brother, Sinclair Lewis made a trip by canoe to make treaty payments to Northwest First Nations tribes memorialized in the book “Treaty Trip” in 1924. As per the testimony of William N. Taylors daughter, Karen Taylor in the accompanied signed letter, her father won the Colt Revolver serial number 12364 in a poker game while stationed at Fort MacLeod in Alberta, Canada in 1922. The gun then stayed in the Taylor family from 1922 until 1990. William N. Taylor dutifully registered the gun, per Canadian Law until his death in 1979 when ownership fell to his daughter Karen Taylor (an accompanying original Canadian Firearm Registration Certificate from 1945 filled out by William N. Taylor is with the lot). Karen Taylor sold the gun to a Canadian arms collector Vernon Vossler in 1990. It was published in the 1991, “Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Volume 2” by Keith Cochran on page 343 as S/N “12,364 7 ½ .45, Cavalry Model, this revolver was probably taken from a Sioux warrior in Canada after the battle of the Little Bighorn by an Indian Agent and Judge and then passed to his sone who was a Mountie or member of the Northwest Mounted Police. (See page 344).” The gun was in the Vossler estate from 1990 until 2008 when It was sold again in his estate sale by Bud Haynes Auction of Red Deer, Alberta (an original printout of the sale bill noting the gun, then further confirmed by Hayes, is included). At the sale the gun was purchased by Barry Kolbert, a collector from Red Lodge, Montana, only 125 miles away from the Little Bighorn. Kolbert then traded the gun to Wallace W. Francis who then traded the gun (with accompanying signed letter) to the current owner J. Michael Peters in 2016 (trading away a Colt Baby Burgess SN 6209 with letter, Colt SAA SN 962, Colt SAA SN 18318 and an additional $1,000 for this Colt SN 12364). In addition to the testimony and ownership documentation the firearm was examined by Wendell Grangaard of the Guns of History and found to be a correct matching serial number U.S. Cavalry issue Colt Single Action Army included on the Schuler, Hartley & Graham list. The gun has the legible cartouche of O.W. Ainsworth and the correct “A” inspector mark of Ainsworth, as well as the usual filings of the muzzle often used as a mark of Indian ownership by the Sioux. Most importantly the gun was found to be marked on the butte of the frame and grips by Chief Buffalo Hump telling the story of the gun in togia language. Marked on the bottom, “kill two non-soldiers – Greasy Grass – Buffalo Hump rode with Horned Horse – departed travel long rode Grandmother Land.” This further confirms the above documentation. Provenance: From General Terry’s Special-Order Number 117 issued to Boston Custer from a shipment from Schuyler, Hartley & Graham. Taken by Boston Custer to the Battle of the Little Bighorn where he was killed. Taken by Buffalo Hump and Horned Horse and eventually taken into Canada to Sitting Bull’s Camp in spring 1878. Seized by Canadian North West Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Acheson G. Irvin as “evidence” and transferred to NWMP Commissioner, James Furguharson MacLeod. Won in a poker game at Fort MacLeod by RCMP William Northcote Taylor in 1922. Kept in the Taylor family from 1922-1990. Sold to Vernon Vossler in 1990. Vossler collection from 1990-2008. Sold in Bud Haynes Auction in August, 23, 2008, to Barry Kolbert of Red Lodge, Montana. Sold / Traded to Wallace W, Francis. Kolbert, Francis 2008-2016. Traded to J. Michael Peters 2016-present. Publications: 1991 Colt Peacemaker Encyclopedia Volume 2 by Keith Cochran; Document the Weapons Used at the Little Bighorn by Wendell Grangaard; and in Alberta Genealogical Society Relatively Speaking Volume 44, Number 3 August 2016 page 141-146 (booklet or print outs of pages mentioned included as documents). This historic piece includes a completely ownership history from its shipment to Custer’s men, capture by the Indians at Little Bighorn, capture by the NWMP in 1878, to the Canadian ownership in 1922 to present day. The ownership history has been published in the included book. Further the gun includes a historic analysis and documented testimony from Guns of History’s Wendell Grangaard as well as further documentation and signed letters.

JULY, 2, 1872” on the side; matching 12364 serial number on the bottom of the butte frame, frame, trigger guard and 2364 on the cylinder.

CHIEF SITTING BULL'S C. SHARPS 1859 PEPPERBOXThis historic and important lot includes the C. Sharps four-barrel derringer circa 1859-1862 owned by Hunkpapa Sioux Chief Sitting Bull marked in Togia language as such as well as being marked with the Silent Eaters Society symbols. The firearm is a Christian Sharps Model 4B Pepperbox four-shot derringer pistol chambered in .32 RF (rimfire) with 2 ½ inch barrel, bird’s head grip frames, serial number of 10157, and marked on the side C. SHARPS PATENT JAN. 25, 1859.” The pistol has been examined by Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc., in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and was found to be marked in Lakota Togia language as follows: On the left side of the frame shows the Silent Eaters Society mark, Hunkpapa Sitting Bull, Sitting Bull / Slow, and One Bull (Illustration 1); the right side of the frame shows the Silent Eaters Society mark, Sitting Bull / Slow Hunkpapa, and One Bull mark again (Illustration 2); under the frame shows Slow / Sitting Bull, Silent Eater Society mark, Hunkpapa and One Bull (Illustration 3); under the frame near the serial number marked Sitting Bull / Slow (illustration 4); one the top of the barrel at the end of the left side is marked Sitting Bull / Slow (illustration 5); and on the back side of both the left and right of the grips marked Sitting Bull / Slow Hunkpapa, Silent Eaters mark (illustration 6). In the late 1960’s Wendell Grangaard met with David Bald Eagle, grandson to White Bull, on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. White Bull was nephew of Sitting Bull and fought at Little Bighorn, David retold the stories handed down to him when he was a child, in the traditional manner. At this meeting David brought out a box and its contents which he inherited in 1947 after his grandfather and great uncle One Bull died. Inside the box Wendell asked about a fancy beaded bag he saw and David’s wife Josey noted it had a small derringer inside, Wendell noted this as being a Model 4B 4-barreled pistol with serial number of 10157. David Bald Eagle noted the ownership history as such: The firearm was part of the Sioux annual annuities in possession by Agent Samuel Latta in May 1862 at Fort Pierre who arrived there by steamboat. Agent Samuel Latta hosted a special gathering of the tribal chiefs aboard the steamboat on May 27th, 1862 with a feast and gift ceremony, the annuity payment being part of the treaty with the U.S. Government to stop the Sioux from attacking the whites on the “Holy Road”. At this time, on May 27th Sitting Bull received this Sharps 4-barreled derringer. Later Sitting Bull’s mother, Her Holy Door, made him a bag to carry the pistol in. A drawing of the bag is included. The bag shows a red heart, representing the Strong Heart Society and inside the heart are the names of Sitting Bull in the language of Togia; these names were Sitting Bull, Slow and Jumping Bull. Below the red heart on the left in blue beads was the Silent Eaters symbol and on the right in white beads was White Horse Riders symbol. The black beaded crosses were Lakota Sioux symbols and the large black “W” represented the Hunkpapa. The symbol for Wakan Tanka / Paha Sapa was below the “W” in black beads and above the “W” was the symbol for the Thunder Being in black beads. The illustrations of the bag were made with the help of David Bald Eagle by Wendell Grangaard. In December 1890 a Standing Rock Indian Agent, James McLaughlin ordered the arrest of Sitting Bull. Early in the morning of December 15, 1890, Sitting Bull was sleeping with his oldest wife, Seen By The Nations in their log home alongside the Grand River, south of the Wagon Road. They were awoken suddenly by Shaved Head, an Indian Police sergeant, who rushed in the door and shouted, “Brother – we have come for you!” Two policemen grabbed Sitting Bull, he was noted as trying to get something from under his bed, and took him outside into the cold night, being barely clothed. His wife, Seen By The Nations saw Sitting Bull looking under the bed and knew he was looking for his Sharps derringer, she wrapped it in a blanket and went outside. She tried to conceal the gun and give it to Sitting Bull and he shook his head saying “no”, so she put the gun in her pocket and wrapped him in the blanket. Sitting Bull yelled, “Let me go” and Seen By The Nations yelled, “What do you want of my husband.” Little Soldier, their son watched in shock. Just then Catch The Bear came running up with his Winchester rifle so Little Soldier rushed to protect his mother and pulled her away just before Catch The Bear started shooting at the policemen. They returned fire and Sitting Bull was killed by Red Tomahawk, along with many of their friends and guards being killed as well, including Catch The Bear. Little Soldier saw his mother start to pull at the derringer to shoot at the policemen as well, but he stopped her and took the gun from her. They went back and got the bag and brought both to give to One Bull later, One Bull was not there the day Sitting Bull was killed. They gave the gun to One Bull as he was also in the Silent Eater society. Ownership Provenance: Agent Samuel Latta gave the gun in the annuity payment on May 27th 1862 and Sitting Bull received it. Sitting Bull kept it with him during his lifetime. He had it the day he was killed, his wife Seen By The Nations gave it to their son Little Solider, who in 1890 gave the pistol to One Bull. The information was handed down from One Bull, the great uncle, and White Bull, the grandfather, to David Bald Eagle. When both One Bull and White Bull died, the box including this gun were given to David Bald Eagle in 1947 and shown to Wendell Grangaard in the late 1960’s, as was the transmission of the history. Later Wenedell saw the gun come up for sale and purchased it, examining the piece and noting its Togia language markings. This C. Sharps Model 4B is in well kept condition. The barrel slides out, the hammer pulls back, rotating the rim fire pin or mechanism to the next barrel. The spur trigger correctly releases the hammer. The hammer has two clicks. These Model 4A and 4B with the 2 ½ inch barrel clusters were commonly referred to as “Bull Dog” pepperboxes. The pistol is accompanied by the photograph illustrations, the drawn illustrations of the bag Sitting Bull kept the gun, and the written testimony and historical examination of the gun signed by Wendell Grangaard. It should also be noted that at this meeting in the late 1960’s David Bald Eagle gave Wendell Grangaard a 32 RF shell from the gun as a present, which was also marked on the end in Togia, “Hunkpapa / Sitting Bull / Slow” as noted in Illustration 7. This bullet casing is in Grangaard’s personal collection. It should also be noted that David Bald Eagle stated that Sitting Bull carried the bag with the special derringer at his side thought most of his life, one could easily surmise that Sitting Bull then might have had this sidearm with him we he and Crazy Horse attached the U.S. 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, that to be said, this is not noted in the paperwork. Sitting Bull attributed pieces are exceedingly rare with only a few pieces being brought to the public market such as the Winchester 1st Model 1876 taken from Sitting Bull’s cabin on December 15, 1890 and turned in to Standing Rock Reservation Indian Agent Major James McLaughlin (1842-1923) which sold at Cowans in June 2022 for $136,400 (shown w/ bp) from the Larry Ness collection and the Sioux Twisted Pipe Stem attributed to being owned by Sitting Bull from the Forrest Fenn collection sold by Hindman in June 2022 for $129,000 (shown w/ bp). This is an Antique Firearm that does not require an FFL.

OGLALA SIOUX CRAZY HORSE OWNED COLT
OGLALA SIOUX CRAZY HORSE OWNED COLT 1860 ARMYThe lot features a truly phenomenal, iconic and important Colt Model 1860 Army 44 caliber percussion revolver owned and marked in Togia language by Crazy Horse an Oglala Sioux Shirt Wearer, famed Warrior from the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The firearm is a Colt Model 1860 Army percussion revolver chambered in 44 caliber with a serial number of 4886. The pistol has been examined by Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc., in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and was found to be marked in Lakota Togia language as follows: on the left side of the wood grip marked Crazy Horse, the mark for the Grass Dancer warrior society, Oglala (illustration 2); on the right side again the same (illustration 1), on the right side of the frame Crazy Horse and Grass Dancer (society) and the right trigger guard deeper, Crazy Horse (illustration 3); on the left side of the frame again Crazy Horse Grass Dancer (illustration 4); on the right side of the barrel deeply marked Crazy Horse (illustration 5); and the bottom of the frame, “Crazy Horse – Grass Dancer – rode with - Owl Bull” (illustration 6). Crazy Horse (1840-1877) was born in 1840 northwest of Bear Butte by Spring Creek to the elder Crazy Horse and Rattling Blanket Woman. He was originally named Among The Trees at his birth, but later due to his unusual appearance his name was changed to Curly. At around age 15 he had a vison quest speaking of his importance and to take no spoils, wear a small stone behind his ear, use the lightning symbol, only mark his horse with a dusting, and dust his head as well as to not take spoils. He achieved manhood and later his father, Crazy Horse gave Curly his name at which time his father took the name Waglula or Worm, as instructed by the Wakan Horn Chips. In the summer of 1868, Crazy Horse became a Shirt Wearer, being a protector of Paha Sapa (the Black Hills), the home of Wakan Tanka. Crazy Horse formed an elite warrior society known as the Grass Dancers or Peji Waci to protect Paha Sapa, and appointed Black Bear to lead the group. Owl Bull was also a Grass Dancer. During the Indian Wars of circa 1876-1877, Crazy Horse took the Grass Dancers out of Paha Sapa and used them to scout for the Oglala. Crazy Horse fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Later he was killed on September 5, 1877 at the jail at Fort Robinson. In the mid-1970’s Wendell Grangaard was working on a project on Highway 40 along the north side of Battle Creek. At lunch one day one of the Native American Crewmen told Wendell that Crazy Horse, the famous Oglala leader, was buried on the south bank of Battle Creek and that he knew the exact spot that Worm, Crazy Horse’s father had the burial scaffold. The Native worker further told the history that his great-grandfather, Leo Combing was Crazy Horse’s half brother and according to his family history, Crazy Horse was actually buried four times. First was on a low scaffold by the Spotted Tail Agency on a hill east of the agency. Due to his popularity and the notoriety of his good medicine (his vision spoke of not being hit by arrows or bullets) many people wanted his body so they could ride with him to the final battle against the white men. Worm took notice and told the Commander of Fort Robinson, Lieutenant William Clark, that he wanted to move the body. Clark said he would five him a wood coffin to bury Crazy Horse “correctly.” So Worm buried him a second time but it wasn’t long till again, others found out of this location. So Worm then rode to Paha Sapa and erected another burial scaffold by Battle Creek to bury Crazy Horse a third time, to his failure he was forced to move him again, this time he put Crazy Horse’s body on a horse and rode to the Pine Buttes. He took the body and put it in a crack in the wall standing up, then sild some rocks to cover the entrance to the grave. A few days later he asked the crewman to show him the original spot of the scaffold along Battle Creek. The Native crewman showed him and discovered several white beads at the spot and recovered an 1860 Colt Percussion Revolver wrapped in leather, being very rusty with screws and some of the grip eroded. He noted a serial number of 4886 on the gun. The great-grandson of Leo Combing, Crazy Horses half brother, said that the revolver belong to his family and kept the gun. Years later Wendell was noted that someone in the family sold the revolver and he tracked it down. Someone had cleaned most of the rust off, which darkened the metal, replaced the rusted screws and repaired the grips in a few places. The revolver shows a serial number of 4886 on the butt end of the frame, as well as matching on the frame and trigger guard. The front section has a serial number of 5154. There are five replacement screws and the ramrod appears to be a replaced cased hardened example. There are a few inspection A or B marks on the brass. According to Colt the revolver with serial number 4886 was manufactured in 1861, an early example during the American Civil War, put together likely from the factory with the other 5154 serial number piece, as that was manufactured in the same year, 1861; and shares the same amount of wear and pitting. The pistol is accompanied by the photograph illustrations, a map of the Black Hills location of the construction, and a copy of a photo of Crazy Horse enlarged from a drawing by Iron Between The Horse, one of the only known images or likeness of Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse did not believe in taking photographs and his exact likeness is unknown, with this image being only a few known examples. As this firearm was manufacted in 1861 likley to be used during the American Civil War and later presumably found its way with the U.S. men on the Plains. How Crazy Horse came upon the gun or when in his lifetime he owned it is now known, but given his death in 1877, it is possibly this firearm was used during his many famous coups, such as the Battle of the Little Bighorn, not noted in the paperwork. This is an Antique Firearm that does not require an FFL.

SIGNED LEONARD BASKIN MONOTYPE -
SIGNED LEONARD BASKIN MONOTYPE - "GERONIMO" (1992)Leonard Baskin (American, 1922-2000). "Geronimo" monotype, 1992. Artist's signature, "monotype touched" and title handwritten in pencil beneath image. An impressive hand-colored monotype by legendary artist Leonard Baskin depicting a bust-length portrait of the famous Geronimo - a respected leader, medicine man, and shaman of the Apache people. Leonard Baskin created two series of lithographs that depict 19th century Native Americans, including illustrious individuals such as Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, and Geronimo. His poignant portraits convey these sitters' noble qualities as well as the despair and loss experienced by these people. This project began when Leonard Baskin was asked to illustrate a handbook for Custer National Park (now called Little Big-Horn National Park). Since Baskin actually detested Custer, he instead opted to create portraits of Native American chiefs and leaders that conveyed their bravery and intelligence like this example. Size of sight view: 23.875" L x 17.875" W (60.6 cm x 45.4 cm) Size of frame: 31.5" L x 25.5" W (80 cm x 64.8 cm)
Leonard Baskin was a creative force for more than 5 decades and worked in a variety of media; however, he is best known for sizeable works on paper like this example. "Geronimo" is rendered in Baskin's characteristically expressive manner and grand scale. It is among Baskin's figurative prints that rivaled the works of Abstract Expressionists during his day, set in a custom frame and hand signed.
Baskin was a 20th century "Renaissance Man" - a highly respected sculptor, printmaker, writer, and watercolorist. His prints included mythological, classical, and biblical scenes as well as portraits and floral studies. Baskin studied at Yale University from 1941 to 1943 and received his B.A. at the New School for Social Research in 1949. He also founded Gehenna Press which specialized in fine book production and taught printmaking and sculpture at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts as well as Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts from 1953 until 1974. Baskin's artworks are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Vatican Museum, the Smithsonian Institute, the Tate Gallery in London, and other elite institutions. "Angel of Death" has been collected by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art among others (accession numbers 1971.300, 1971.25, and 1961-157-4 respectively). His noted public sculptural commissions include pieces for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial as well as the Holocaust Memorial in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Baskin also received many prestigious honors, such as a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Gold Medal of the National Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Jewish Cultural Achievement Award. He was also honored with numerous retrospective exhibitions at institutions including the Smithsonian Museum, the Albertina Museum, and the Library of Congress.
