695. IMPORTANT AND HISTORICAL 18TH CENTURY POWDER HORN- DATED 1775, MINUTEMAN. This large 18th century horn with a simple carved nozzle has the most interesting inlaid horn panel on the wood butt which reads "1775 Frederick Van Dyke Somrset N. J. MinuitMAN". According to the New Jersey archives of Revolutionary War personnel, Van Dyke did serve in the Revolutionary War. We are told that very few Minuitmen came from New Jersey, and most of these entered the war in the latter part of 1775. The horn with a simple-carved nozzle retains fragmented portions of the original leather strap. The wood plug in the butt end is affixed by large head brass tacks that are obvious 19th century replacements. The plug was originally secured with small pegs as is the normal case with an 18th century horn, and one such peg is still apparent under the leather strap. It is apparent that the brass tacks were added later at the very spots that the wooden plugs were. The small horn panel is affixed in the wood butt by what appear to be small brass brads. The horn was collected some 40-50 years ago by a New York collector who has long since deceased. The horn, together with a collection of Brown Bess Muskets, was consigned to this auction by the heir. SIZE: 18" on the curve. The butt is approximately 3-1/2" in diameter. CONDITION: Structurally sound with great old patina. What appears to be the original leather carrying strap is in pieces and very fragile. 4-43785 (1,000-4,000)

Major Gordon Lillie was known by his stage name as Pawnee Bill and was a personal friend and one-time partner of Buffalo Bill in the touring Wild West Show. He was also the honorary Chief of the Pawnee Indian Nation. J.J. Jones was in fact Josephine Jones, a trick shot and sharpshooter, who historically gained fame as such, even before Annie Oakley. How the presentation came to pass is, at this time, unknown, but the engraving is unmistakably period to the rifle. The consignor states that this rifle has been in his family's possession, to his direct knowledge, since the early 1940s, when as a child he was told by his great-uncle that Major Gordon Lillie had given him the rifle, and that Lillie's wife May, had used it. He further states that the rifle has been passed down through his family to him and has never left their possession. SN 18329. CONDITION: About good. No original finish remains.

720 COLT 1878 DA REVOLVER WITH BUFFALO BILL INSCRIPTION. CAL.: .45 Boxer. Nickel finish, 7-1/2" barrel with blued trigger and hammer, ivory grips and a lanyard loop in the butt. The revolver has about 75% coverage foliate arabesque scroll engraving with usual marking on top of the barrel and where the caliber marking is normally found on the side of the barrel there is a long oval panel inscribed "Buffalo Bill's Wild West." The backstrap is engraved "* Hon. Wm F. Cody * / London." The top of the backstrap, behind the hammer, has a crown with the initials "VR." After careful examination, it has been determined that the arabesque pattern engraving is old American engraving, possibly of the period of the revolver, as is the barrel panel and backstrap inscription. The crown and "VR," however, are by another hand and possibly a later date. Accompanied by a Colt factory letter dated June 13, 2001, indicating that this revolver was shipped August 30, 1880, as a .45 Colt with nickel finish and rubber grips to Hartley & Graham, New York, NY in a shipment of 20 guns. The date of shipment certain lends plausibility to this revolver having been presented to Buffalo Bill by a friend or admirer during a visit to New York, and then the crown and "VR" addition made after his 1883 visit to England. Also accompanied by a modern felt-lined wooden box. SN 2840. CONDITION: Very good. Retains 65-75% original nickel with areas of light brown patina where the nickel has flaked away.

The barrel retains 93-95% original blue and the frame retains 96-97% strong bright original nickel with a spot of rust on the right side of the frame and several small spots down the backstrap. The right forward side of the frame is lightly scratched, apparently from steel wool. The hammer, trigger and grip screws retain generous amounts of their bright niter blue.

730. WINCHESTER 73 RIFLE AND ENSEMBLE BELONGING TO JERRY POTTS CAL: .38WCF. Standard grade rifle with 24" octagon barrel, half-nickel front sight and semi buckhorn rear sight. It has uncheckered wood with a straight stock and crescent steel buttplate with trap. It is accompanied by a Winchester Firearms Museum letter identifying this rifle as having been shipped with 17 other rifles on March 30, 1887 to order #16933. It also has a beautifully worked bearskin dogsled scabbard with sealskin lining, hand-stitched with trade tassel decoration, trade bead rosettes with what appear to be RCMP tunic buttons of silver with caribou heads and an arrow. It has cartridge loops that contain five .38WCF rounds and three large copper conchos, two of which have different engraving, but the same center mark of "NWC." and the third one with a third style of engraving with the center marked "HB" (Hudson Bay Company?) The top end of the outside of the scabbard has a 4 3/4" diameter round leather medallion carved with maple leaves and the emblem of the Northwest Mounted Police and with what appears to be a brass NWMP crown. Also included is an early box for Winchester cartridges containing nine original .38WCF rounds. The box has a red label with green side tape marked for the Winchester Model 1873. Also included is a four-page typewritten resume of Potts' life and a small paperback booklet from the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Alberta, Canada 1966 by Hugh A. Dempsey entitled "Jerry Potts/Plainsman", that details the life of Jeremy Potts. In addition, there is a mounted piece of paper which appears to be a sale bulletin of the original Antler's Bar of Anchorage, Alaska stating that a Winchester and dogsled case owned by famed Canadian scout Jerry Potts was legal to sell. Additional research has disclosed more mentions of Potts service to the NWMP on pages 27, 28 & 29 of the book "The Mounties, The History of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police" by Jim Lotz. All three detail approximately the same information. Also in the book "The Mounties..." is a picture of Potts holding what possibly is this 73 rifle. The left sideplate of the rifle is very lightly engraved "Official N.W.M.P./hired scout/Fort Benton" with an NWMP emblem and the date "1889" and the name "Jerry Potts" in a riband off to the side. On the left side of the buttstock are the connected initials "J.P." in small iron tacks. It is unlikely that Potts did any of this work himself, as he is reported to have been illiterate. He named his son "Blue Gun", probably after this gun. SN 231516 CONDITION: About good. No original finish remains. The metal has a light brown, cleaned patina with moderate rust pitting at various places. The left sideplate has been cleaned.

Strong bore, dark in the grooves with scattered pitting. The bearskin scabbard shows moderate to heavy wear, missing some of the hair on the outside and a few of the tassels. Otherwise, it is intact. The ammunition box has fuzzed edges, but the colors are bright and strong. 4-43193 JL311 (7,000-20,000)

The stag panels have 4 iron rivets and the pommels 2 rivets. The left stag scale has a long German silver shield. Accompanied by what appears to be its original brown leather sheath, that has the tip missing. CONDITION: Very good. The blade is bright and clean with several spots of light rust on the right side near the ricasso. The full-length of the edge show grind marks that extend over about 2/3 of the blade on the left side. The back of the blade has 3 or 4 small hammer marks, and the German silver pommels also have some light hammer marks at the back edges.
