SMOF4750 - COLT OFFICIAL POLICE SERIAL NUMBER 861070 CALIBER 38 SPECIAL
The official Police was one of Colt’s best selling 38 Special revolvers, and as the name suggests was sold to police departments through out the U.S. The action was the reliable Colt single action –double action lock that Colt had developed in the late 1880’s and still uses. While now superseded by the Python and the other Colt “snake” guns with adjustable sights heavier barrels, and bigger grips, the official police internal lock is virtually the same on these pistols.
This pistol was made in 1957 near the end of production. Overall finish would rate about 95% with some edge wear. The checkering on grips is excellent with the exception of a little wear on the bottom of the right grip. The bore is excellent with crisp rifling. $400.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4791 - 10029 - DUMMY 9MM LUGER P08 PISTOL
Serial number 7606 matching with crown over Erfurt on the toggle and 1918 date and 1920 reissue date on the chamber. Extremely detailed solid casting in a black plastic type material the exact size of the original. Displays very nicely as is or you can pick up some model maker paints at your local hobby shop and paint the grips a dark walnut brown color, and straw color on the springs and safety and aluminum base on the magazine to make it look even more realistic. The material used is somewhat brittle, so these are not playthings, but display dummies. Tip of trigger has been broken off but hard to tell unless you look carefully. Great for display where you don't want to take a valuable gun out and risk damage or theft. Sold as a collector display piece, not a toy. If there are goofy state or local prohibition against stuff like this without markings to identify them as toys, we cannot sell to you. Don't complain to us, complain to the politicians that got elected, or work to get rational people elected instead. $55.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4795 - COLT EXPORT MODEL 1927 (MODEL 1911A1) MADE FOR ARGENTINA. SERIAL NUMBER 9984. CALIBER 45 ACP
Between 1900 and 1910 Browning designed and Colt manufactured the Models 1900, 1901, 1903 Pocket, the 1903 hammerless, and 1905 and the 1908. During this time Browning and Colt began to develop an automatic pistol for the U.S. Army, to replace the Colt revolvers that had served the military. Colt’s Patented Firearm company entered into a collaborative design arrangement with the firearms designer John M. Browning in the late 1800's for the production of automatic pistols. The result was the Colt Model 1911 in 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) , the most widely recognized and copied pistol in the world. The Model 1911 (and its product improved offspring the 1911A1) equipped the U.S. Army till replaced by the Beretta M9 in the 1980's.
Colt also sold pistols to other countries for their military including Norway and Argentina.The Argentines had purchased Model 1911’s during World War I. After the war they approached Colt and offered to buy 10,000 pistols if Colt would then allow them manufacturing rights in Argentina. Colt agreed and the Model 1927 was the result. It had Argentine markings but was made at the Colt factory in Hartford, Connecticutt.
This pistol was one of the last ones made by Colt for Argentina, being 15 numbers from the end of production. It is all matching with the correct, frame, and barrel. The magazine is not matched to the pistol. It has been refinished sometime in the past, and an inventory number electropenciled on the frame and barrel. Overall finish would rate about 90% with typical wear on the frame and slide. The grips are in good condition. The action is tight. The Argentine made Sistema 1927 pistols are frequently seen on the U.S. market, but original Colt made pistols are almost never seen. $850.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4798 - COLT MODEL 1903 HAMMERLESS PISTOL. SERIAL NUMBER 434887 CALIBER 32 ACP.
John Browning did not invent the first successful automatic pistol in the world, that honor would go to the Germans or the Austrians. But he did create the form that all successful automatic pistols have followed ever since when he began turning out his designs in 1900. Colt had already produced one of his designs in their 38 caliber Model 1900 ( and its variants), but sales had been slow, and they wanted a pocket pistol to equal the success of his FN Model 1900. The result was the Colt Model 1903 hammerless in 32 caliber. This pistol set the standard for design of automatic pistol thereafter. By time production stopped over half a million had been made. It also became the most common automatic seen in the gangster and detective movies of the 1930 and 1940's. I saw the Hitchcock thriller “Foreign Correspondent” on TV recently and the Model 1903 was the pistol of choice.
This pistol was made in 1924. The finish shows the usual small dings you’d expect from use. The original Colt oven baked bluing would rate about 90% with no pitting, but wear on the edges and around the muzzle. The hard rubber grips also have uniform wear, but no chips or cracks. The bore is bright with strong riflings. The magazine is correct with the top left unblued and with Colt’s name and caliber stamped on the bottom. If you want to own a piece of the roaring 20's or the gangster plagued 1930's this pistol will fill that bill. $550.00 (View Picture)
**SOLD** SMOF4796 - WEBLEY MARK IV COMMERCIAL. SERIAL NUMBER 149886. CALIBER 38 SMITH AND WESSON.
The British Army clung onto revolvers longer than any other major army, not adopting an automatic pistol, the Browning High Power, until the late 1940's. They used the break top Webley pistol in 455 caliber through the World War I. After that war they decided to move to 38 caliber, and adopted the Smith Wesson 38, but firing a 200 grain slug.
Webley made the pistol for the commercial market until about 1968. These were sold throughout their empire and to countries that had formerly been part of their empire This pistol was made in Great Britain and bears Webley’s commercial markings (their winged bullet logo) and British export proofs.
This pistol is in excellent condition with more than 95% of the commercial high polish, blued finish remaining. It is all matching with serial numbers on cylinder, frame and barrel assembly. The barrel is in excellent condition with sharp riflings. The lock up is tight A unusual pistol from the sunset of the British Empire and in almost new condition to boot. $425.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4774 - SMITH AND WESSON MILITARY AND POLICE REVOLVER. SERIAL NUMBER 578788. CALIBER 38 SPECIAL
The Smith and Wesson Military and Police Revolver was introduced by Smith and Wesson about 1900, and, with minor modifications, is still the most common revolver in their product line. Such longevity is remarkable.
This pistol was made in the 1930’s. It has the standard 6 inch barrel, and the correct checkered wood grips without the S&W monogram. Overall bluing would rate about 90% with mostly wear on the edges and around the muzzle. Overall a good example of a pre World War II pistol that still is one of the most successful revolver designs. $400.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4660 - RARE COLTS .22 CALIBRE TARGET AUTOMATIC (PRE - WOODSMAN) SIX INCH "TARGET" MODEL.
Serial number 40100 manufactured in 1924. Colts .22 calibre Target Automatic (as it was originally called) was a John Browning design which Colt first introduced in 1915. Browning's design was the world's first successful .22 caliber automatic pistol with over 700,000 produced in hundreds of variations over a 68 year span. Even with this large production, Woodsman availability on the used gun market remains low with excellent pre-war pieces easily bringing prices twenty times their original retail. Because of their functional reliability, intrinsic accuracy and appealing design most Woodsman pistols still see regular use and as a result it is difficult to find one in excellent condition.
This pistol is in excellent condition, the metal retains 97% plus original bluing showing some slight wear on the front and back straps and sharp corners. The bore is mirror bright with strong lands and grooves. The front sight is the more desirable adjustable type. The grips are in very good condition with some light wear but no cracks or chips missing. $995.00 (View Picture)

SMOF3494 - STAINLESS STEEL COLT GOLD CUP MKI SERIES 80 NATIONAL MATCH IN 45 ACP SERIAL NUMBER SN22869.
Colt introduced the Gold Cup National Match Automatic in 1957. The Gold Cup was designed to offered competitive shooters a pistol which was accurate enough to go straight from the dealer`s shelf to the match competition firing line. Every Gold Cup pistol came from the factory fitted with specially hand-fitted parts (every metal to metal contact part was hand honed, hand fitted and hand finished), reduced slack between barrel and slide, adjustable spring-fed trigger stop, wide grooved trigger, adjustable square notch rear sight, flat mainspring housing (arched optional), deeply serrated receiver face for firm grip, specially designed extractor to eliminate damage to empty cases, flat grooved slide rib, improved (enlarged) ejection port, more positive (larger) slide serrations and beautiful royal blue finish on sides with the remainder sand blasted to reduce glare.
Colt introduced the Gold Cup MKI/Series 70 National Match in 1970. Series 70 Colt Gold Cup pistols incorporated Colt`s "Accurizor" barrel and bushing which used a spring-steel, "finger collet" bushing that gripped the end of the barrel, which had also been slightly redesigned with a slight belled end to accommodate the collet bushing. The new "Accurizor" barrel and bushing was intended to improve the intrinsic accuracy without sacrificing reliability.
Colt introduced the Gold Cup MKI/Series 80 National Match in 1983. Series 80 Gold Cup pistols incorporated a new firing pin safety system that made use of a small plunger located inside the slide to block the firing pin against movement, thus preventing the pistol from discharging accidentally should the pistol be dropped or hit hard while fully loaded with a round in the chamber. Two small sheet-metal levers working alongside the trigger pushed aside the plunger, which would then free up the firing pin to fire the weapon once the trigger had been deliberately depressed. Around 1988 it was decided that the collet bushing wasn`t all it was cracked up to be, as there were a few reports of the bushing fingers breaking in use. In addition, it was felt that modern CNC manufacturing techniques had allowed tighter factory tolerances with the older solid bushing setup. As a result the original mil-spec barrel and bushing configuration was reinstated.
This Gold Cup was manufactured after 1983, it has the correct Elliason type adjustable sights series 80 type safety system and Colt diamond checkered black wood grips. The pistol is in like new condition, and comes with the original Colt brown wood grain box and papers. $1295.00 (View Picture)

SMF2861 - STAINLESS RUGER MODEL P95DC IN 9MM SERIAL NUMBER 311-03726.
The P95 was created as a result of the most extensive development programs in Ruger company history. The frame material is a custom compounded, high-strength polymer with a long strand fiberglass filler, a natural shock absorber. This filler interweaves during molding to produce some of the highest tensile and stiffness strengths available in an injection molded material. The urethane base resin that binds the filler together is corrosion and solvent resistant, lightweight, and compatible with most oils lubricants. The grip area is shaped and sized to allow the average hand a comfortable and controlled grip, yet is wide and rounded enough at the rear to allow recoil forces to spread into the palm of the hand. This allows comfortable shooting with full-power loads over an extended period, despite the P95 being the lightest centerfire pistol Ruger builds. Pistol is in excellent condition with an excellent bore and comes with 3 dot sights, original box and papers and 2 10 round magazines. $325.00 (View Picture)

SMF3231 - GLOCK MODEL 23 IN 40 SERIAL NUMBER ERR130US.
Glock pistols feature an excellent combination of reliability and accuracy. Their high-tech engineering and construction create a handgun that can stand up to the punishment of even the most unforgiving conditions. The Glock pistol's Safe Action trigger system offers distinct benefits over conventional trigger systems, with increased smoothness and consistency. Glocks have almost 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of the same caliber. Glock handgun frames are made of a virtually indestructible synthetic that is stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter. Glock pistols can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 F to +158 F and still come out firing. Metal Glock components are finished with a unique surface treatment called Tenifer that makes those parts virtually as hard as a diamond and even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. Glock handguns are designed with a natural grip angle that complements instinctive shooting. The ergonomic frame design features a bore axis and weight distribution that ensure a controlled shot, even under the most adverse conditions. The polymer frame gives a much softer recoil than that of conventional guns and the barrel has hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and greater accuracy. The 23 is Glock's mod-sized .40 caliber pistol designed for self-defense and ease of carry. Pistol is in excellent (like new) condition with a mirror bright bore. Comes with one Glock brand 10 round magazines and the origional box. $475.00 (View Picture)

SMF3334 - STAINLESS STEEL RUGER GP-100 SIX INCH REVOLVER IN 357 MAG SERIAL NUMBER 172-71302.
The GP-100 represents significant improvements over other double-action revolvers available today. Frame widths are increased in critical areas that support the barrel and both frame sidewalls are solid integral sections of the frame, offering additional strength and rigidity. Cylinder-locking notches are offset and cut into the thick part of the cylinder walls between the centers of the chambers rather than directly over them. In its firing position, the cylinder is securely locked to the frame in two places: at the rear by the traditional cylinder pin, and at the front of the crane by a large, unique spring-loaded latch. This helps ensure proper cylinder and barrel alignment for optimum accuracy. The GP-100 can be field stripped to it`s basic components in seconds for cleaning without the use of tools. This revolver is in excellent (like new) condition with an excellent bore. Comes with heavy barrel with full length lug, special Ruger rubber cushioned grips with polished Goncalo Alves wood inserts, adjustable white outlined rear and interchangeable red ramp front sights. $450.00 (View Picture)

Serial number F348106. This has been fired a few times but exceptionally well cared for and it would almost pass for new in the box except for a few tiny rub marks on the bolt finish. With the increased collector interest in Winchesters, this would be an excellent one to form the nucleus of a collection focused only on Winchesters offered in .22 Magnum caliber, or just to put away because of the great condition. $450.00 (View Picture)
**HOLD** SMOF4853 - 15622 - U.S. MODEL 1903A3 RIFLE MADE BY NATIONAL ORDNANCE
- Serial number 6001838. These are rifles made in the 1950s or early 1960s when M1903 rifles were still relatively scarce on the commercial market, but there were huge quantities of surplus M1903A3 parts hitting the market. The critical missing part was the receiver. Outfits in southern California had some receivers made up, and began assembling guns, making some parts if they ran out, and marketing them. H.P. White laboratories did some testing on these ersatz receivers and found them to be extremely strong so there are no reported safety problems with them. However the fit and finish were not all that good, although they made up into serviceable rifles which could be sold cheaply. Various sources place the source of the receivers as Spain or Yugoslavia, but recently information indicates that they were actually made by Rimer Castings of Waterville, Ohio. Golden State Arms seems to have been the umbrella firm that marketed the rifles, under the name “Santa Fe division of Golden State Arms” and later as National Ordnance, and still later under the name Federal Ordnance. There seem to have been several changes in ownership over the years, while the corporate names remained, so it is pretty hard to put the pieces of the puzzle together. These folks are the ones who coined the name “Jungle Carbine” and flooded the market with M1 Garand and M1 Carbines made up with salvaged scrap receivers that were “reweld” jobs. Just getting a collection of all these oddball “ersatz” copies of U.S. military arms would be an interesting and inexpensive collecting niche. This rifle is one made by National Ordnance with all GI parts except the receiver, cutoff, front sight blade, and rear sight, although the bands seem to be refinished over moderate pitting. The stock is a “scant type” and a later owner added fake RA [ordnance wheel] FJA inspector cartouches, for which he should be horse whipped. About 90- 95%+ parkerized finish remains, thinning on the blued receiver, and worn heavily on the buttplate. The stock has a pleasing medium brown tone and oil finish. The RA 8-44 barrel has a superb sparkly bright and sharp two groove bore. The stock has a hairline crack behind the receiver tang. While not worth as much as a genuine GI M1903A3 these are reportedly okay for shooting (although we sell all guns as collector items to be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing). However, you get all this exciting history CHEAP at only $395.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4564 - CUSTOM SPORTER RIFLE BUILT ON AN FN MODEL 1950 ACTION.
Serial number 5599NK. We don’t know who did the work, but they are extremely talented! This is truly fine custom gun maker workmanship, with elegant lines superbly executed. This started with a FN Model 1950 Mauser type action and a new custom barrel (exact maker unknown, but they did not cut corners on this one, so my guess is that it is from a high quality maker). Barrel length is 22 inches and fairly light weight contours, chambered for 30-06. Bore is about perfect, matching the exterior. Barrel and receiver have near 100% of a well done blue finish. Bolt body and release are jeweled, and the handle is blued, a very attractive combination when done well, as this is. Scope base is Redfield type and rings are available. The trigger is a custom Tinmey commercial replacement. Stock has about a 14 inch pull, it is nicely laid out on green tinted laminate, with black (ebony?) inlays at the grip cap, forend tip and extractor. Almost too nice to shoot, but why not enjoy it if you want to? (Remember, we sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith before firing.) If you want one really great custom sporter rifle, here it is. $650.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4700 - 13957 WINCHESTER "WINDER MUSKET" .22 SHORT U.S. MILITARY TRAINING RIFLE
Serial number 129625, one of 11,419 delivered in 1918-1919 on military contracts. Marked with US and flaming bomb on the receiver behind the hammer. Most were later issued for ROTC or school use, then sold as surplus after the M1922 series of .22 trainers made by Springfield was adopted. Lots of original finish, about 98% overall showing just normal wear with a bit of thinning and a few scratches as expected on a used gun. Rear sight is the Lyman type which was standard for this model. Excellent bore and unsanded stock. Butt has a gouge on the right side of the comb, and there is a bruised spot on the left side of the forend at the tip as shown in the photos. A well above average example of an uncommon U.S. military training rifle. This is the classic Winchester Model 1885 single shot rifle designed by John M. Browning and offered in a huge variety of calibers and configurations, but this was the only military version. $1295.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4550 - 13959 WINCHESTER MODEL 95 SADDLE RING CARBINE, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914.
Serial number 425022, among the last of these guns made. The superb example has all the standard features of this variation. Caliber is .30 Army (30-40 Krag) one of the most popular calibers of the Model 1895 rifles and carbines, and the type used by Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American War.
The outstanding feature of this gun is its condition, retaining essentially ALL of the unmarked original wood and metal finish with only some minor "flaking" on the receiver sides and upper tang. (The flaking has not penetrated to the bare metal but has resulted only in a thinning of the effected areas. Bore is as nice as the outside. About 90% blue on the buttplate. Stock is free from all but a few tiny handling marks. About as nice as you will find one of these any more, and the Model 1895s are notorious for the flaking finish on the receivers, so it may be a futile quest looking for one any better. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $3450.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4562 - (EARLY?) KIMBER OF OREGON MODEL 82 IN .22 CALIBER SERIAL NUMBER 1012.
The Kimber Model 82 is a top-of-the-line world class rifle. Chambered in .22 long rifle, this rifle is like new. The bluing is perfect and the rifle stock is unmarked except for one or two small dings. There are no open sights, but the rifle comes with a nice set of high quality Redfield type scope rings. The rifle stock is best quality, finely checkered, finely grained walnut with some nice figure. The finely checkered Niedner style curved steel buttplate plate also adds a nice touch. We have been unable to find serial number records for this model but the low serial number seems to indicate an early manufacture rifle.
Kimber of Oregon went out of business with its final sale in 1991. Rare and early models like this one are already starting to attract premiums. $850.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4647 - REMINGTON MODEL 521 “JUNIOR SPECIAL” TARGET RIFLE
(not serial numbered) A very handsome example of one of Remington’s classic bolt action .22 caliber rifles. This model was designed as a beginner rifle to be sold at a cheaper price than their heavier Model 513T, or the heavyweight and highly respected Model 37 target rifle. Most rifle intended for the junior market were enthusiastically seized by their new owners, and quickly beat up from youthful abuse and ignorance of careful gun handling procedures. This one is a rare exception, retaining about 96% of the original deep factory blue. There are a couple of scattered surface rust specks on the barrel, but barely noticeable and should clean off okay. Excellent bore. Bolt handle shows the usual staining but he bolt body retains much of the color case hardened finish. Stock has a few very minor bruises and dings, nothing worth singling out, but not quite perfect. Complete with the factory installed Lyman 57 RS target sights. Complete with correct Remington marked 5 round magazine. No added holes for scopes or shortening of the butt or any of the other alterations which so often destroy collector value, even if they add to the young shooter’s enjoyment at the time. Some 66,338 of the Model 521 rifles were made between 1947 and 1968. Remington arms are a very diverse and affordable collecting field, gaining respect and more collectors. The brand new book”Remington Rimfire Rifles” by John Gyde and Roy Marcot will surely increase collector interest in this field, now that a reliable and detailed source of information is available on this specialty.

SMOF4557 - 13967 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 RIFLE IN .22 LONG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914.
Serial number 569336 made circa 1903. Octagon barrel is 24 3/8” long with typical black powder .22 bore- worn and rough. Note the caliber is .22 LONG, not .22 LONG RIFLE. The immensely popular and long-lived Model 1873 reached a total production of about 720,000 rifles and carbines, but less than 20,000 were in .22 rimfire caliber, and according to George Madis these have a low survival rate, probably from people reworking them to more useful calibers than the .22 rimfire for such a heavy rifle. This one has seen some honest use, but not abuse, and retains about 85-90% original finish, thinning or dulling in places, but overall a very attractive Model 1873 rifle. It has the standard crescent buttplate shape found on most 1873 rifles, but specially made for the .22s without a butt trap. Good markings, screw heads not buggered, magazine is complete and working. Wood has the old oil finish with assorted minor dings and scratches of an honestly used gun. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $4250.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4551 - 13960 WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 SINGLE SHOT ''LOW WALL” RIFLE IN .22LR CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914.
Serial number 119805 probably made circa 1915. A beautiful little gun with 24 3/8” octagon barrel and excellent bore. About 97-98% finish remains, just some honest wear causing brightness on the sharp edges, a bit of thinning on the bottom flat just ahead of the forend (resting on the window sill when shooting into the back yard?) and a couple of very minor scratches or scrapes. Stock retains nearly all the original varnish finish, with just a handful of very minor dings scattered around. John M. Browning’s famous Model 1885 single shot action is still regarded as one of the best ever made, and despite large production numbers, these were much loved, much used, and many were cobbled into home brewed varmint rifles, leaving excellent examples harder to find than one might expect. At one time, someone added a tang sight, and the ''footprint” shows in the finish on the tang, and in order to remember which way to turn the knobs for windage, they stamped L and R into the wood alongside the tang. It would be nicer without these blemishes, but is still a darn nice rifle. This great rifle is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and it is looking for a good home. $1995.00 (View Picture)
SMOF3801 - NORINCO SKS 7.62X39MMM SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE WITH FOLDING SPIKE BAYONET - SERIAL NUMBER 73-01104.
About 98-99% original blue finish. Probably was fired a little by previous owner who added an after market muzzle brake that looks like it is a bit out of alignment. Buttplate has two rubber extension pads so that the length of pull is suitable for taller people instead of diminutive orientals. The SKS is a rugged and reliable design that was widely used in Vietnam. Reportedly these are popular with plinkers and as home defense weapons, but we have never felt inspired to try shooting one. $195.00 (View Picture)
SMOF4159 - 12330 - U.S. MILITARY .22 CALIBER TRAINING RIFLE.
MOSSBERG MODEL 44US - Serial number 145646 complete with correct original magazine, sights and buttplate. Stock has not been sanded, shortened or dinked with in any way and is nearly free of even tiny dings or bruises. The few light colored scrapes visible are just scratches in the finish and a drop of stain will blend them right in. Plastic trigger guard (often broken on these) is intact, but visible shrunken over the years. Excellent bright and sharp bore. About 98% original blue, sharp markings. Wear is almost exclusively at the muzzle. Bolt handle with about 90% of the color case hardened finish. Standard Mossberg sights (S100 rear). Missing the aperture disc from the rear sight, and the little red button on the stock to indicate where the safety is for "fire". Bubba had Weaver bases installed requiring four holes in the barrel. The bases could easily be removed and plug screws installed in the holes for better appearance. 57,607 rifles were delivered between 1943 and 1945 for use in military training, and many were later used in junior marksmanship programs. Serial numbers started at 100,001, and this one was delivered on a January 1944 contract. Overall a really superb example of a nice WW2 military training rifle, except for the added scope bases. $295.00 (View Picture)
