• RARE CIVIL WAR GREENE UNDERHAMMER
  RARE CIVIL WAR GREENE UNDERHAMMER RIFLE, .50 CALIBER A unique rifle that holds the distinction of being the first bolt-action rifle adopted by the U.S. Military when the Ordnance Dept. ordered 900 of them in 1859. The rifle has a number of unique characteristics including a bottom-mounted hammer intended to reduce the chance of powder burns to the shooter's face, a handle-operated bolt that also acted a bullet plunger for seating a round to the chamber, and last but not least a very unorthodox paper cartridge design with the bullet placed behind the powder. With this design, a ready-to-fire Greene rifle actually has two projectiles loaded, one at the front of the chamber and another at the rear, creating a seal at the bolt face upon firing. The shooter then would only be required to rotate the bolt handle up and push it forward to seat the previously rearward projectile and insert another paper cartridge before placing another percussion cap. This particular rifle has had a rough life, unfortunately, with the bolt and plunger completely seized shut, a large crack to the stock at the grip, heavy corrosion around the percussion nipple, and spots of surface rust throughout. The cleaning rod is also missing but the bore brush is still present in the trapdoor compartment in the buttstock. A very rare and interesting piece of American firearm history!

• C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1
  C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1 PEPPERBOX 1859-74Featured in this lot we have a C. Sharps & Co. 22 Long Rifle Model 1 Pepperbox. The pepperbox features a brass frame, four shot barrel, and engraved gutta percha grips. The story of the Sharps four-barrel pistol begins, officially, on December 18, 1849. On that date, the United States Patent Office issued patent number 6960 for a revolver to Christian Sharps, then residing in Washington, D.C. This "revolver" was actually not a revolver at all, but a pepperbox in which the barrels didn't revolve. It was fired by a striker which did revolve on a center post to hit, in sequence, the percussion caps which were placed on nipples on the ends of the barrels. The side hammer served both as a cocking lever and as the force behind the striker. The pistol was not produced on a commercial basis until 1859, after Sharps had become sole owner of the Fairmont Rifle Works in West Philadelphia. By this time, the metallic cartridge had been introduced and Sharps was able to develop his design into a practical repeating pistol. Patent number 22753 was issued to Sharps on January 25, 1859, again for a "revolver". The first model was .22 caliber. Made with a brass frame, it had a spur or stud trigger and was a single-action, four-shot repeater. Approximately 85,000 of these little pepperboxes were made in the ten years between 1859 and 1868. This pepperbox is in good aesthetic condition, showing some signs of wear and use. The side of the frame is marked "C. Sharps & Co Philada, PA". Serial Number: 22790. This firearm qualifies as an antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*

Ornsby New York" and "Engaged 16 May 1845". The barrel, frame, cylinder, and trigger guard display matching serial number 25387 with the frame marked on the side "COLTS PATENT". This revolver has excellent mechanics and screws and has matching serial number, indicating a manufacture date of 1852. The Colt 1851 Navy was one of the most classic side arms of the Civil War and later in the Old West. Wild Bill Hickock was carrying a pair of Colt 1851 Navy revolvers when he was gunned down in Deadwood, South Dakota on August 2, 1876. The revolver shows good condition with some light wear due to handling and some minor wear on the blue'd finish. The pistol weights 2lbs 10oz. Serial Number: 25387. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
