This large collection of shooting medals were won by Brian Moore of California, along with the following lots 319 - 398, and were all part of his collection, which spanned 60 years. His working experience includes time spend Lockheed working on missile projects, IBM working with moon exploration as commissioned by President John F. Kennedy, and worked at Stanford and University of California in their labs. He was integral to the Moon program and worked with General Curtis Lamay and Buzz Aldrin. He invented, designed, worked on, produced, and solved many of the issues during the early days of U.S. space exploration. He also is credited with inventing and designing the first submarine with umbilical system for underwater launches of missiles in Cape Canaveral. His ability as a marksman, as evidenced by the numerous metals in this collection, was well known. He was a lifetime master in both pistol and high powered rifle. Much of his spare time throughout a span of 50 years was spent at the Napa Rifle Range, but he traveled as far as Japan as the Naval Air Station. The last time he fired a match using iron sights at 1,000 yards was in Hollister, California using his National Match M1 Springfield. He started competing in 1939 and continued for 45 years. It is also very apparent that Brian had a life long love affair with all things mechanical and his passion for the shooting sports was unparalleled. This large collection of shooting medals is encompassed in two period framed collections consisting of 42 medals in each display. It would be extremely tedious to list each and every medal. Most are for revolver and pistol. The dating of the medals in Frame (A) are 1946 to 1960; the majority of the matches were shot in Oakland with some scattered NRA and National Match medals. They are all in excellent shape with ribbons. Frame (B) medals are dated 1946 to 1948 and are also in excellent condition with ribbons. Green background has some fading. It is obvious some medals have some sterling silver and are tarnished. We do not know if any are real gold. Many have the enamel decorations.

Manufactured in 1882. This U.S. service Colt began life as a standard cavalry model in 1882 and inspected by David F. Clark. During the late part of 19th century, numerous cavalry Colts were called back into service. These revolvers were made from a number of mixed parts, their barrels were shortened to 5-1/2" and were reissued to U.S. troops, many going to the Philippines for the insurrection against the Moros whom were crazed on narcotics.

Manufactured in 1906 during the second year of production. Only 6,100 of these pistols were manufactured between 1905 and 1911 and were replaced by the Model 1911 which began production in 1912. Therefore, this is the forerunner to its more famous offspring. Production of this pistol was less than one thousand guns per year and most saw heavy use and very few have survived in such high, all original, factory condition as seen in this stunning example. The grip straps are thinning to a blue, soft gray patina and there is some light high edge wear. The balance of blue finish on the frame and slide are nearly 98%. Still has the beautiful Nitre blue on extractor. Has the round hammer with traces of case colors. Large portion of Nitre blue on sides of trigger and sports a near mint pair of diamond checkered walnut grips with fire blue screws. Bore is near mint. All factory legends are sharp. This is the finest condition Model 1905 we have come across in several years and would be extremely difficult to find a finer example.

The West German firm of J.P. Sauer & Sohn has been world renowned of their quality bolt action rifles for well over a century and a half. The quality and workmanship that goes into these weapons is unsurpassed. We offer here a model extremely scarce on this side of the pond, it is not even listed in the blue book, the Sauer Model 80 Grand African. Chambered for the powerful .458 Winchester Magnum and capable of taking down the world's most dangerous game. The smoothness of the action, the quality of the high polished blue finish, and the beautifully checkered pistol grip walnut stock with contrasting forend tip and grip cap are, simply stated, the finest available. The barrel, bolt and frame retain virtually all of the expertly reapplied high polish blue finish but there is a few spots under this finish on the frame, none of which detracts from the overall beauty. Rifle features the detachable magazine. Sports a hooded front sight with an adjustable safari type rear sight made to withstand heavy service duty and simple adjustments. The action is like butter and it has a mirror bore. While there may be fancier big game rifles, the quality of this rifle cannot be surpassed. Africa awaits!

This rifle dates to Roy's early days of custom rifles in South Gate, California using the old FN actions that he ordered from Belgium with his name stamped on left side receiver bridge.

While Roy Weatherby is known worldwide for his fabulous rifles built using the FN Mauser and later J.P. Sauer action, he was, in the beginning, a custom rifle maker and would build a rifle using any action the client requested. This practice ended in the early 1970's when his business got to large to offer such custom work and a demand for his standard rifles was worldwide. Roy built this rifle utilizing a Shultz & Larson Mauser type action, an M 54 J manufactured in Denmark. It is fitted with a "Weatherby .378 Magnum" marked barrel with no provision for sights. The matted rib on frame has two scope blocks installed. The rear stock has a distinctive Weatherby profile, but from the trigger guard forward it is a much beefier and boxy design.
