out 10-bore. Excellent condition. Evidently French, though
it was bought in a Philadelphia pawn-shop.

61. DERRINGER POCKET RIFLE. L. (over all) 28"

Shoulder-stock attached. Quite similar in design to the ordinary
pocket Derringer, but has a long barrel (octagon), a ramrod and ramrod
rib. Peep rear sight. Front sight missing. Very rare. In good
condition.

62. PAIR OF ENGLISH POCKET PISTOLS. L. 6"

Silver butt-plates, silver lion-masque butt-caps, much of original
blueing remains. In the best of condition. Mark, "Doody". From
Krider's Gunshop, Philadelphia.

63. OLD PINFIRE REVOLVER L. 7-1/2"

64. FINE SILVER-MOUNTED TURKISH PISTOL. L. 18"

Barrel and lock of English manufacture, the later having a sliding
safety and being stamped "Mortimer", but the rest is Turkish. Stock is
of some dark, hard Oriental wood, probably olive, and is covered with
fine silver-wire inlay. All mountings are of silver, beautifully
sculptured and engraved and bear curious Turkish hallmarks. As the
ramrods for these pistols were carried about the neck to facilitate
loading on horseback, they were frequently made without ramrods
attached. This pistol, like the following one, is furnished with a
dummy or imitation rod. English proof-marks on barrel. Gold
breech-band. In the best of possible condition and a really beautiful
specimen. From the Austin collection.

65. SILVER-MOUNTED ARABIAN FLINTLOCK PISTOL. L. 16"

Mountings entirely of silver. Stock covered with silver inlay in wire,
dot and leaf-and-flower design. Arabian armorer's marks in gold on
barrel. Fine. From the Austin collection.

66. FRENCH ARMY PISTOL, MODEL OF 1777. L. 13-1/2"

Flintlock. Calibre, 11/16 inch. Mark on lock, "Mauberge". This pistol
may have come to this country with Lafayette's expedition. It has been
neatly though incorrectly restored and is hence unreliable as a
source of information.

67. COLT PERCUSSION REVOLVER, CAL. .31. L. 10"

1849 Model, five shot, bright finish, trigger-guard and back-strap
silvered. Mark, "Address Samuel Colt, etc." Note the absence of title
"Col." in mark. Rare with this omission. Good order.

68. U. S. PERCUSSION ARMY PISTOL, Model of 1842. L. 14"

Marks on lockplate illegible, but enough can be deciphered to show
that it was made by H. Aston, of Middleton, Conn. Ramrod not original,
and swivel is missing, but otherwise the pistol is in good shooting
order.
