SMF5144 - GLENFIELD MODEL 60 IN 22 SERIAL NUMBER NONE This will make a nice inexpensive starter gun for a youth or a good plinker. Semi-automatic 22 in excellent condition, comes with both open sights and telescopic sight. $95.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5200 - TURKISH MODEL 48 BOLT-ACTION "FORESTRY" CARBINE # 164 (8X50R LEBEL) The rifle was originally manufactured as a French Model 16 Berthier rifle by St. Ettienne during WWI, it was converted to its current configuration in 1948. Very Good to excellent condition, with over 90% bluing (some turned to plum), bore is dark but has very strong lands and grooves and may clean up. The serial number on the bolt-body is matching. The stock is Mannlicher-type with no cracks but some repairs but and handling marks. $250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5173 - 17537 - LEE ENFIELD NO 4. MARK 1/2 BARRELED ACTION BY ISHAPORE - Serial number 0022 matching on receiver, bolt and barrel. Skennerton reports that the Rifle Factory Ishapore in India never actually made any No. 4 Mark I rifles, but they did overhaul some, and in the process “scrubbed” the old markings and applied new markings. In this case, F.R. (Factory Repaired), 1958, R.F.I. on the right side of the butt socket. This is the first RFI No. 4 I have seen in many years of collecting (or at least watching) Lee Enfields. About 90-95% of the arsenal overhaul blue finish remains. VG-fine bore. This is the barreled action only and needs a complete stock set and front sight protector, trigger guard, guard screws and magazine to complete it, but any No. 4 parts will work. Small Century Arms import marks on left side of the receiver. A bit of an oddity for the advanced Enfield collector. $225.00 (View Picture)

SMOF5004 - 16540 - RUSSIAN/FINNISH MODEL 39 MOSIN-NAGANT RIFLE (7.65X54MMR CALIBER) – Serial number 57918 assembled by VKT in 1942 on a Russian receiver made by Tula in 1900, as indicated by the 900r and “T” hammer symbol on the underside of the receiver tang. This design was adopted in 1939 as the Finnish “Infantry Rifle Model 1939” and became the preferred rifle for use during World War II as the Finns fought the Russians, eventually losing in 1944. These used a mix of newly made parts and reworked parts from earlier Mosin Nagants which had been purchased or captured by the Finns. The M39 features entirely new sights, better barrels, two sets of sling swivels a two piece finger jointed stock, and the improved two piece magazine stop. This example was made by VKT (Valtion Kirvaaritehdas). Bore is nice and bright, but rifling is somewhat rounded on the lands. Reportedly these are excellent shooters. (Reminder: we sell all guns as collector items only and they must be approved by a competent gunsmith prior to firing.) Looks like about 90% blue finish remains, but I am pretty sure a previous owner touched it up, especially on the magazine/trigger guard. Bolt number is matching, but as with most of these, the other parts numbers are totally mismatched. Stock is solid, with the assorted minor dings and scars of an issued military arm. There is an arsenal repaired crack along the left side of the receiver tang. The birch stock color ranges from blond to brown. Several arsenal repaired cracks in the handguard. Import marks on upper part of the barrel. Complete with the cleaning rod which is often missing. Overall an inexpensive representative example of a Mosin Nagant that actually looks different from most of the other variations. $225.00 (View Picture)

Bargain Items

17852 Decorative replica brass 3" artillery shell (or something) - Dimensions about 3 inch diameter by 9 inches long, a bit shorter than the usual WW1 75mm/3 inch cases. This is made of two pieces with the sides of the case apparently some sort of brass pipe and the base and rim cast or machined. The “rim” is sort of tapered so it will not really function as such, but it does have a hole in the center as if it were to hold a primer. It may be some sort of decorative substitute for a sculpture or monument or something else. It would look good all polished up but has marginal collector value. $12.00 (View Picture)

17753 HORNADY .30 CALIBER BULLET CUPS (FOR SWAGING HALF JACKET BULLETS) - These come packed 500 to a box. This is a lot of FIVE BOXES, total of 2,500 cups. The lot for $30.00 (View Picture)

17260 U.S. MODEL 1916 HIP HOLSTER FOR M1911 .45 AUTOMATIC - This is a nice old holster that got lost in an attic for a long time. It is probably WW1 vintage although there are no maker or inspector marks visible. There are a number of tiny white specks that may be paint or who knows what that may come off with cleaning or may need to be individually scraped off. Leather is somewhat still but not cracked or flaking. This really needs a good treatment with saddle soap to clean it up and make it more flexible (or one of the modern leather treatments if you prefer those). Should be pretty nice then. $50.00 (View Picture)

2654 U.S. Model 1902 (?) Mess Dress Jacket - Military Police insignia on cuff. Narrow stripe, and unadorned shoulder board of a 2nd Lt. Really superb clean condition. Approx size $50.00 (View Picture)

2631 3rd Reich Fleece lined great coat, Infantry Major - with ribbon for Iron Cross 2nd class. Slightly unusual in that it has strap on sleeves rather than regulation French cuffs. Excellent, but very heavy. $275.00 (View Picture)

2442 Camouflage Hood- splinter pattern - Camo pattern on outside only of cotton type material Drawstring around front of hood, and another passing around the neck area. Pair of metal snaps on botom front. Not sure what this goes to but sure looks neat. $25.00 (View Picture)

2172 US Civil War Infantry SGT Field Uniform (REPRO) - Nice looking example of four button sack coat with light blue worsted wool SGT stripes. Four brass gneral service buttons. Sky blue pants. Material is some sort of cotton or cotton poly blend. Looks okay but not an exact match for the heavy wool actually used.. Otherwise follows the general pattern and spirit of the prescribed uniforms. Good representative outfit at very modest price. This pattern continued in service well into the Indian War era. Coat about size 38L, pants about 34x32. $125.00 (View Picture)

17793 LYMAN four cavity mold and handles 311359 (115 grain gas check) - Lyman has been the largest maker of bullet molds for nearly 100 years now. These are usually found in single, double or four cavity versions, with the larger molds obviously being more productive in terms of bullets per hour. These are all precision manufacture tools and when properly cared for will last a long time. Besides a lower cost per bullet than buying them from commercial sources, there is also the benefit of not being dependent on commercial sources as you can cast your own bullets using an electric casting pot, or even an iron pot on your kitchen stove. (The latter practice invites nasty comments from mothers and spouses, I have learned.) By tinkering with the lead alloy and lubes and sizing procedures cast bullets can achieve excellent accuracy, and with gas checks they can get good velocity, although not as high as jacketed bullets. This is a used mold, casting the bullet described above. It comes complete with handles. Overall condition fine to excellent showing just normal wear. $95.00 (View Picture)

Most have one or more illustrations, showing some military subject, map, person, or a non-war related item. Yellowed paper is 100+ years old now, so it is brittle and cannot be handled a lot. These have been folded twice, so present size is about 9" x 12" and when opened will be about 18" x 24" for a full page. Assorted minor rips and tears. Sorry, none with big headlines- MAINE BLOWN UP, or MANILA BAY VICTORY or anything like that, but lots of smaller events leading up to our victory. Remember, although there were undersea cables then, most were cut to prevent military use, and it took days or weeks for accurate news to arrive from the front. No embedded reporters with live satellite feed in those days. Great item for Spanish American War display. SHELLS BURST- Bombardment of Manila has already begun; Spain Lost 400 men. Sketch showing Dewey's Fleet and list of ships. Ripping at folds, but a most important issue anyway. 12 pages. $15.00 (View Picture)
