**RARE**MINT**FACTORY NICKEL PLATED**1871-1888 American Remington Rider 5 Shot .32 Rim Fire Tube Magazine Pistol / Derringer. Sn 22503 - 22503 One of many firearms developed for Remington by Joseph Rider was the Rider Magazine Pistol – a manually operated 5-shot repeater chambered for the .32 extra-short rimfire cartridge (the same round used by the Chicago Palm Protector). It used a tube magazine under the barrel and a simple but clever vertically shifting breechblock to give an impressive amount of firepower in small (and particularly flat and narrow) package. About 15,000 of these were made between 1871 and 1888. The Joseph Rider invention is one of the most unusual of 19th Century pocket pistols and one of the 1st to use a tubular magazine. These pistols were not numbered ( see page 168 of Flayderman’s 9th Edition 2019 re-print). This original example is in near mint condition with excellent original factory nickel finish to its metal work. The innovative 5 shot pull out tube magazine is located underneath the 2 ½”octagonal barrel. Overall length of pistol 6”. The sighted barrel’s bore is clean and bright with well defined rifling. The top of the barrel is nicely marked ‘E. Remington & Sons. Ilion N.Y. Rider's Pat Aug 15th 1871’. It has undamaged American Walnut grips and the action and tube feed system works crisply (The large blued knurled hammer is pulled back which loads a cartridge into the barrel and cocks the smaller blued knurled hammer for firing). This is a rare type of American magazine pistol and to find one in such near mint condition is unusual. The price includes UK delivery. NB As an obsolete calibre rim fire pistol no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. Sn 22503 £2,395.00 |

*Un-Used/Boxed* c1973 Buck Model 124 Frontiersman Bowie Knife with Leather Sheath. 22495. - 22495 A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as raw material. His handiwork was greatly appreciated during World War II. Hoyt's eldest son Al had relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego California after finishing a stint in the navy a decade earlier. Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family in 1945 and set up shop as H.H. Buck and Son. Following the death of his father, Al kept the fledgling custom knife business going until incorporating Buck Knives, Inc. in 1961. Al introduced his son, Chuck, to the knife business at an early age and Chuck and his wife, Lori, were both involved when the company was incorporated. In 1964, the knife industry was revolutionized with the introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter, making Buck Knives a leader in the field. A position we hold proudly today. The Frontiersman from Buck were produced between 1973 & 1985. This example has been kept in its original box from new. It has a beautiful Black Micarta handle and comes with its original thick black leather sheath with Buck decal stud, care card and ‘word from the chairman’. The knifes overall Length is: 11 ¾ “(30.0 cm). The price for this excellent piece includes UK delivery. 22495. £225.00 |

**RARE**BOER WAR ERA**BOER CAPTURED CARVED STOCK RP. VAN. STADEN**1897 British WD Enfield MK I* Lee Metford .303 Calibre Rifle With Bolt Cover, Magazine Cut Off, Long Range Volley Sights Regiment Marked ‘2.D.F’ To The 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers. - 22426:86 The Lee-Metford rifle is a bolt action British Army service rifle, combining James Paris Lee's rear-locking bolt system and ten-round magazine with a seven groove rifled barrel designed by William Ellis Metford. It replaced the Martini-Henry rifle in 1888, following nine years of development and trials and remained in service until replaced by the similar Lee-Enfield. The Lee Metford MK 1* was approved on 9th January 1892 (see page 381 of the Lee Enfield Story by Skennerton). The Lee Metford rifle was used extensively by British Forces during the Boer wars. The 2nd battalion was in South Africa when war was declared, and when Sir George White landed at Durban was stationed at Glencoe, along with the 1st Leicestershire Regiment, 1st King's Royal Rifle Corps, 18th Hussars, and the 13th, 67th, and 69th Batteries RFA, under General Penn-Symons. The 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers arrived in time to be also sent to Glencoe, completing an infantry brigade before the battle on 20th October 1899 (see 1st Leicestershire Regiment and 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers). The 2nd Dublins took a very important share in the fighting. Their losses were approximately 2 officers and 8 men killed, and 3 officers and 50 men wounded. With the rest of the troops the 2nd Dublins retreated to Ladysmith. They were present in the action of Lombard's Kop on 30th October 1899 (see 1st Liverpool Regiment), but were much split up, three companies acting as escort to artillery, one on outpost, etc. They did not suffer many casualties. On the same evening the battalion was "hurriedly entrained" and sent down the line to occupy Fort Wylie and protect the great bridge over the Tugela, but the advancing tide of Boer invasion soon lapped round them and they had to move still farther south. Three sections were in the unfortunate armoured train which was derailed on 15th November 1899. Before General Buller made his first advance the 1st Battalion had arrived in Natal as part of the Irish Brigade. In the Colenso despatch, list of troops engaged, the 1st Battalion Dublin Fusiliers is mentioned, but the casualties of the regiment are debited to the 2nd Battalion. The fact seems to be that three companies of the 1st Battalion were added to the 2nd, and thus really both fought at Colenso and the other engagements prior to the relief of Ladysmith. The work of Hart's brigade in Natal is sketched under the 1st Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and that of the relief force generally under the 2nd Queen's. At Colenso the Irish Brigade got into a hot place, coming under a very heavy fire before extending; and after their extension they pushed into a peninsula formed by a loop of the river, where they were subjected to severe fire from the front and both flanks, but all stood the severe trial splendidly. The casualties of the regiment were heavy, approximately 2 officers and 50 men killed, 3 officers and 176 men wounded. The three companies of the 1st Battalion were the chief sufferers. Of these losses their share was 1 officer and 31 men killed, and 1 officer and 133 men wounded. At Venter's Spruit on 20th January the 2nd Dublins and the three companies of the 1st Battalion were in General Hart's force. Their casualties were approximately 1 officer and 5 men killed, and 1 officer and 30 men wounded. In the fourteen days' fighting between 13th and 27th February Hart's men were at first near the rail-head, and were brought down to Colenso village on the 20th. On the 23rd Hart was ordered to attack the main Boer position. A short account of this action is given under the Inniskilling Fusiliers, who led in the assault, but the Connaught Rangers and Dublins also pushed in close and lost most severely. Colonel Sitwell was among the killed. The regiment was still to take part in another memorable assault before the close of the relief operations, being transferred to the command of General Barton for the last great effort on the 27th, when Barton attacked and carried the eastern portion of Pieter's Hill. In addition to the Dublins his troops that day were the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Royal Irish Fusiliers. The assault reflected credit on every one taking part in it, and gained the praise of General Buller. In the fourteen days' fighting the Dublins' losses were approximately 1 officer and 20 men killed, and 6 officers and over 100 men wounded. Eight officers and 7 non-commissioned officers and men of the 2nd Battalion were mentioned in General Buller's despatch of 30th March 1900, 5 of the latter being recommended for the distinguished conduct medal. The battalion was specially selected to march into Ladysmith at the head of the relieving force. It was common practice for Boers who captured British rifles during battle to carve their names and often scenic or religious imagery into the wood stocks of their weapons. This is an excellent British Army Enfield made Mark I* Lee Metford Rifle with stock disc marked to the 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers captured or recovered from a battlefield by a Boer Kommando who then carved his name within a foliate etched panel into the shoulder stock ‘RP. Van. Staden’. The rifle is in great condition with all original woodwork with early finger grooves in the fore stock as used in the Boer Wars. It also has steel butt plate with trap, magazine cut off, flip up ladder sight, long range volley sights, ramp block & blade fore sight, bayonet bar, correct bolt cover and sling swivels fitted with period leather sling. The grip strap under the bolt is impressed 'Enfield I*' with Queen’s Crown VR (Victoria Regina). The rifle is serial number 5464A and has other un-matching numbers. The stock is fitted with brass disc Regiment marked ‘2 D.F’ (2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers together with date ‘12’92 (December 1892) and weapon number ‘450’. The initials ‘M.P’ have also been period hand scratched into the disc (unknown). The weapon cocks & dry fires crisply & the magazine can be removed. The magazine is attached to the rifle by its original retaining chain. The price for this excellent Lee Metford captured by Boer Kommandos during the Boer war worthy of further research regarding the Boer’s name includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery.

*Handmade/Un-Used* U.S. Made Steve Voorhis Bowie Knife and Leather Sheath. 22493. - 22493 Steve Voorhis Handmade knives from his hometown of Inman, Kansas in the U.S.A. The early history of the Bowie knife is complicated by murky definitions, limited supporting documentation, and conflicting claims. The Bowie knife is not well defined. By the mid-20th century most included some combination of blade length and blade shape. In the mid-19th century, when the popularity of the knife was at its peak, the term was applied to a wide range of blades. Absent a consensus definition, it is impossible to clearly define the origin of the knife. To complicate matters, some American blades that meet the modern definition of the Bowie knife may pre-date Bowie. This beautiful example is 37cm in length with a 24 cm polished blade. The brass-coloured pommel and finger guard envelope the light wooden one-piece grip. A very thick, soft brown leather sheath with integrated belt loop accompanies the knife. Both the knife and sheath are in as new un-used condition and are real quality items. The price includes UK delivery. 22493. £225.00 |

Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry.

INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, Home Guard, Early WW2, 20lb Blacker Bombard 29mm Spigot Mortor 20 Lb High Explosive (HE) Anti Tank Practice Round. Sn - 22044:2 After the fall of Dunkirk, there was a dire shortage of weapons, especially anti tank weapons and the Blacker Bombard was accepted only after the intervention of Winston Churchill. The Blacker Bombard, also known as the 29 mm Spigot Mortar, was an fin stabilised infantry anti-tank weapon devised by Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart Blacker in the early years of the Second World War. Unlike conventional mortars the spigot mortar did not possess a barrel, and instead there was a steel rod known as a 'spigot' fixed to a baseplate with the bomb having a propellant charge inside its tail. The bomb was fin stabilised and when the mortar was to be fired, the bomb was pushed down onto the spigot, which exploded the propellant charge and propelled the mortor forward off the spigot. The weapon was intended as a means to equip Home Guard units with an anti-tank weapon in case of German invasion in 1940. Although there were doubts about the effectiveness of the weapon, many were issued, however the weapon saw no or little service at the start of the Second World War. This is a rare, original high explosive (HE) 20 Lb anti tank round for the weapon which is in excellent condition and retains much of its original green painted finish with a yellow band round the nose (practice). The service high explosive anti tank round would originally have held 8 ¾ pounds of high explosive hence the bulbous nose of the round. The round consists of a steel tube to mount over the spigot with a pressed steel fin assembly and warhead. The round retains much of its original green painted finish and yellow band round the nose. The top if the warhead still retains its varnished cloth seal round its circumference. The round was intended to be reused up to 20 times, due to its low velocity by firing it into a soft earth banking. Although the Blacker Bombard is long gone many of the original cylindrical concrete mounts remain, the give away is a 2 inch diameter stainless steel point on the top as part of the 1940 anti invasion measures by the Home Guard. No licence is required to possess this inert spigot mortar in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display and the price includes UK delivery. Sn 22044:2 £975.00 |
