Lot 108
For your consideration is a factory Engraved Allen & Thurber six shot percussion “Pepperbox” revolving pistol, c.1840s, .34 caliber with 4 1/8” gracefully fluted barrels. This is the medium size Allen Pepperbox that found favor as both a large pocket pistol as well as a holstered belt weapon. These early competitors to the Colt revolver found favor with the “49ers” of California Gold Rush fame as well as with urban dwellers in need of a repeating firearm for self defense. Many were carried as private weapons by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. Examples in fine condition are rare as these handguns were often used for “daily carry” by their owners. This is a very fine example as it displays a lovely uncleaned patina and still retains traces of original blue on the barrels! The usual condition for one of these is heavily worn gray metal at best and more often than not badly rusted, pitted and showing abuse. The frame is factory hand engraved as is the nipple shield and back strap. This is a double action pistol in which a single pull of the trigger revolves the barrel cluster, raises the bar-style hammer and fires the gun. The bar hammer is marked “ALLENS PATENT” over “1845” and on a flute between the barrels is marked “ALLEN THURBER” and “WORCESTER.” Walnut grips are excellent and exhibit much of the original finish. Excellent mechanical condition and a truly fine example of a uniquely American firearm of the pre-Civil War period that has not been re-finished,over-cleaned or altered. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.

Offered for public sale is this immensely rare and important Hudson Bay Flintlock musket / rifle from Northern Cheyenne warrior and chief, Red Horse aka Medicine Wolf. The flintlock rifle has been examined and attributed to have been used by Red Horse at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in circa 1876. Red Horse, aka Medicine Wolf, was a Northern Cheyenne Native American Indian being a great warrior and chief. He was elected to the Council of 44 Chiefs and belonged to the special Mirror Society along with fellow Northern Cheyenne Chief Lame White Man, the mirror on the stock indicates his membership as well. Red Horse fought at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also referred to as Custer’s Last Stand and the Battle of the Greasy Grass. The rifle is believed to have been repaired by Good Hand following Two Moon’s request to Crazy Horse with help in repairing some of the Cheyenne weapons. Red Horse later surrendered with Crazy Horse under the name Medicine Wolf, along with other Northern Cheyenne including Chief Wolf and Kills Many. A copy of the Crazy Horse Surrender Ledger (which was edited by Thomas R. Buecker and R. Eli Paul from the Nebraska State Historical Society Lincoln, Nebraska) is shown with Medicine Wolf’s name highlighted. The men were later transferred to the Cheyenne Reservation in Montana and Red Horse was given the Christian name, George. He attended the 1926 reunion at the Little Bighorn Battlefield. The rifle musket was examined by Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and found to be marked in Lakota Togia language. On the right side behind the lock plate shows a repair which is marked in Togia Good Hand and below Red Horse. On the right butt stock shows another signature of Red Horse Chief, the inlaid mirror from the Mirror Society and another Red Horse mark. On the left side of the butt stock the rifle is marked Red Horse Chief / Wolf Medicine and Red Horse. Overall, this is a Hudson Bay Flintlock musket / rifle which has been traded to the Northern Cheyenne. The rifle shows the distinctive brass serpent side plate under the parfleche rawhide wrappings along with faint stampings on the lock plate and barrel. The barrel is the correct part octagonal part round incised example with flintlock action and large trigger guard. The Northwest Trade Hudson Bay Trade gun is truly an iconic piece of the early western expansion and Indian Wars era with such prominent Indians as Sitting Bull being known to carry examples nearly identical to the piece offered in this lot. The firearm has wonderful patina and comes with the documentation and paperwork in regard to the historic provenance from Wendell Grangaard. Provenance: From a fine Eastern Montana American Indian Collection. The piece also comes with an original mid-1800’s Buffalo horn powder horn which is beautifully adorned with original brass trade tacks in two bands, with a carved wood cap, Indian tanned hide tie strap and red ocher mineral pigment dye painted surface, a truly amazing addition. Hudson Bay Trade rifles in Flintlock and Percussion were known to have been used during the Indian Wars and the Battle of the Little Bighorn due to the lack of available ammunition for repeating cartridge rifles. The rifle is an antique and does not require a background check. Measures overall 37.25”L.

A British World War II era laminated wooden 4 bladed generator propeller, late 1930s-40s, used to power a drogue winch used by a target tug aircraft,marked with DRG drawing number T29505 and 4483 on the hub, the back of the hub with stamped numbers for each blade, numbered 1 to 4 (4 obscured by damage), 900mm diameter, light weight four plank mahogany laminate with 92mm diameter metal plates mounted to front and rear faces of hub for 15mm shaft, the face plates partially covering 2 circular impressed R.A.E acceptance inspection stamps and various other stamps, some loss to edges. Footnotes:A high capacity wind powered electrical winch used in the air stream of a towing aircraft, which let out a line attached to which would have been a target drogue for either gunnery or machine gun fire.A target tug is an aircraft which tows an unmanned drone. A high capacity wind powered electrical winch used in the air stream of a towing aircraft, which let out a line attached to which would have been a target drogue for either gunnery or machine gun. Target tugs were often conversions of transport and utility aircraft, as well as obsolescent combat types. Some, such as the Miles Martinet, were specially designed for the role. It was, and is, a relatively hazardous job, as live fire is typically employed and the people doing the shooting are usually still in training. The student fighter pilots or air gunners would shoot at the target from other aircraft using painted bullets so that hits could be recorded and later analysed. In the RAF, Miles Master IIs were used for this purpose as part of the Target Towing Flight at the Central Gunnery School whilst the School was based at RAF Sutton Bridge from April 1942 to March 1944. Other aircraft used in this role during WWII the RAF used aircraft including the Hawker Henley, the Boulton Paul Defiant and the Westland Lysander as target tugs. The chief modifications to these aircraft were a station for the drogue operator and a winch to reel in the cable prior to landing. The winch was typically powered by a small propeller driven wind-turbine on the outside of the aircraft, driven by the airflow and attached to the winch via a clutch. Such devices are still used by some aerial refuelling tankers to retract the refuelling hose after the operation is completed. The drogue would often be jettisoned at some location convenient for recovery prior to the aircraft's landing. The drogue itself caused a great deal of drag and could be dangerous, particularly to less-powerful aircraft. If the engine failed, the drag from the drogue could be enough to reduce the airspeed of the aircraft below stall speed before the drogue could be jettisoned.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1920/21 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost Doctor's Convertible CoupéRegistration no. XK 1702Chassis no. 26TE*Originally a Thrupp & Maberley limousine*Re-bodied in the USA*Present ownership since 1992*Rolls-Royce Alpine event participant in 2013, driven from the UK and backFootnotes:Although the 40/50hp model would have earned its 'The Best Car in the World' sobriquet in any event, Rolls-Royce's decision to drop all other types only served to focus attention on what would become known as the 'Silver Ghost'. Prior to 1908, when it relocated to a new factory in Derby, the company founded by engineer Henry Royce and entrepreneur the Honourable Charles Rolls had manufactured a variety of models at its Manchester premises. Cars with two, three, four and six cylinders were made, and even an abortive V8, before Managing Director Claude Johnson's decision to concentrate on the range-topping 40/50hp. The latter had first appeared at the 1906 Motor Show and became known as the 'Silver Ghost' the following year when chassis number '60551' was exhibited wearing silver-painted tourer coachwork by Barker. The heart of the Silver Ghost was its magnificent engine, a 7,036cc (later 7,428cc) sidevalve six equipped with seven-bearing crankshaft and pressure lubrication. A sturdy chassis comprised of channel-section side members and tubular cross members was suspended on semi-elliptic springs at the front and a 'platform' leaf-spring arrangement at the rear, though the latter soon came in for revision. The transmission too was soon changed, a three-speed gearbox with direct-drive top gear replacing the original four-speed/overdrive top unit in 1909. In the course of its 20-year production life there would be countless other improvements to the car, one of the most important being the adoption of servo-assisted four-wheel brakes towards the end of 1923. After a successful 2,000-mile trial under RAC supervision, the factory demonstrator - chassis '60551', 'The Silver Ghost' - was entered in the Scottish Reliability Trial, completing the 15,000-mile run with flying colours to set a new World Record. From then on the car's reputation was assured, not the least in North America where the wide-open spaces placed a premium on reliability and comfort. Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost chassis number '26TE' was completed in December 1920 and sent to Thrupp & Maberley for bodying as a limousine that same month; it was finished and first registered in 1921. The first owner was a Mr C H Whittington, who took delivery in August 1921. The Ghost is known to have been sold by Dunbar & Sons in Edinburgh in 1927. Sold by Scott Moncrief in 1967, the car was shipped to Florida in the 1980s and returned to the UK immediately prior to being sold at auction in 1992 where it was bought by the current owner. Believed fitted in the USA, the doctor's coupé body was converted to convertible configuration by Frenchay Garage, Bristol when the car entered UK circa 1992. Other noteworthy features include dickey seat accommodation, a folding luggage rack, rear-wheel brakes, a self-starter, and André Hartford shock absorbers. Since acquisition various works have been carried out by A J Glew and Coldwell Engineering to include rewiring the electrics; a partial engine overhaul; brakes relined; dynamo overhauled; and a new clutch bearing housing and clutch bearing fitted. While in the current ownership the Ghost has completed the Rally of New Zealand and the Rolls-Royce Alpine event in 2013, driven from the UK and back. 'XK 1702' has also taken part in '20 Ghost Club' events during the current ownership. The car comes complete with a Dunlop wheel spanner, a copper mallet, a period oil gun and jack, and its original 'Spirit of Ecstasy' mascot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
