Please Note: Receiver stamped “28” as it should be however, butt stock is stamped “16”. The “16” “28” “20” ga butt stocks were the exact same dimensions and configuration. The “28” was supposedly marked on the butt stock when it was matched up to the receiver. It is believed it was simply a factory worker made a mistake, marked “16” instead of “28”. The butt stock is marked “16” not “28”.

Dudley William Jones. Col. Jones was born in 1840 in Lamar County, TX, the grandson of one of the first settlers of Lamar County who arrived there in 1836. Shortly after his birth, Col. Jones’ family moved to Mt. Pleasant, TX where he received his education from his mother and common schools of the area then attended Maury Institute at Coffeeville. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he returned to Mt. Pleasant and enlisted as a private in the Titus Grays, Company I of Col. William Simm’s 9th Texas Cavalry. The regimental adjutant, named Bell was accused of abolitionism & bigamy and was subsequently hanged by the men of the regiment who then elected Jones First Lieutenant and Adjutant, effective Oct 14, 1861. During the first year of the war, the 9th Texas Cavalry served with Gen. Ben McCulloch’s army of the West Arkansas, Missouri and Indian Territory where they participated in several small fights. After the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern (Pea Ridge) in March 1862, the regiment was transferred to Mississippi. During the reorganization, Jones was elected Colonel and the regiment became part of Lawrence Sullivan Ross’ famed brigade. For the remainder of the war, Jones remained in command of the 9th Texas Cavalry, participating in innumerable major and minor battles & skirmishes with records showing that the regiment participated in over 30 fights. In the final weeks of the war, Jones commanded Ross’ brigade under the famous and daring Nathan Bedford Forrest’s Cavalry Corps. After the war, Col. Jones traveled for about a year before returning to his father’s farm in 1866. That same year, he was elected to the Constitutional Convention of 1866 and was President of the Texas Club. In 1867, he moved to Houston and began the practice of law and was also the editor of the city’s first daily newspaper, The Ku Klux Vidette. Also included in this packet of information are numerous correspondences about the 9th Texas Cavalry, copies of Col. Jones’ muster rolls, reimbursement slips & other records pertaining to his Confederate service. Col. Jones died of yellow fever in Houston in 1868 and was reportedly buried in an unmarked grave. There are numerous Henry rifles inscribed and/or presented to Union soldiers of the Civil War, but very few are known with history documented to Civil War Confederate soldier. CONDITION: Very good to fine, all matching, as noted above. Bbl & magazine tube are a smooth blue/grey patina with scattered light surface spotting. Receiver and sideplates show moderate sharp edge wear with light nicks & scratches and retains a medium mustard patina. Buttplate has matching patina. Lever & hammer are a dark patina. Stock is sound with the aforementioned filled recess on the right side, with nicks & dings and shows heavy wear with a fine hand worn patina. Mechanics are a little balky but are functional. Strong dark bore showing heavy wear with fine pitting. 49151-2 JR (70,000-100,000) – Lot 3005

RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 FLAT SIDE SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 14848. Cal. 44 RF HENRY Standard carbine with 20″ rnd bbl, full magazine, integral front band/front sight with forearm band & two position flip rear sight, graduated 100, 300 & 500. Bbl has the 2-line Henry’s & King’s patent bbl address marking. Receiver is first type with flat front sides & flat loading gate and has a staple end ring in left side. Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock & crescent brass buttplate with trap that contains an orig 3-pc brass & iron cleaning rod. Left side of buttstock shows a distinctive “Henry bump”. This feature is seen only on a very few of the earliest Model 1866 arms. The 1866 is the successor to the venerable Model 1860 Henry, and for a short period of time, beginning at about Henry SN 12000 and the beginning of the Model 1866 at about SN 12000, both models were produced simultaneously. These early 1866 arms had many features of the Henry rifle including a sharp radius on the top rear edge of the receiver and the “bump” on an 1866 buttstock, which obviously was a Henry buttstock fitted to an 1866. The flat side receivers were also a carry over from the Henry rifle which resulted in a very thin forearm to accommodate this thin receiver. After numerous complaints of broken forearms Winchester redesigned the front of the receiver with a raised edge which allowed for a thicker forearm. This solved the problem. Likewise, the flat loading gate was only on the first model 1866 arms. Continuous use fatigued the spring steel, resulting in numerous breakages resulting in Winchester redesigning the loading gate to a much more sturdy product. These early 1866 arms usually saw extensive, hard service on the American frontier and literally around the world. They are rarely found with any orig finish and frequently have an altered configuration. PROVENANCE: The Estate Collection of Phil A. Bleakney, Jr. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain most of their thinning orig brown finish with traces of blue on the front band and the forearm band having turned brown. Receiver and sideplates show light wear on the sharp edges with some light chips around the front and rear edges of the sideplates and overall retains a medium to dark mustard patina. Hammer retains most of its orig case colors, moderately to heavily faded. Lever is a brown patina. Wood is sound with light nicks & dings and retains most of its fine orig finish with distinctive Henry bump and some minor bruising from the saddle ring. Buttplate is matching patina to the receiver. Mechanics are fine. Strong bore with moderate pitting. 49059-10 JR (15,000-35,000) – Lot 3015

Receiver is first type without takedown screw and internal mortised bolt locking lugs. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with tiny rnd, ribbed forearm & straight stock with crescent buttplate.

Stock is also a replacement of absolutely correct dimensions and proportions. Forearm was not removed but it also appears to be a replacement. Magazine tube has loading slot for long rifle cartridge, and its probably also a replacement. Regardless of the restoration, this is a rare rifle that would deceive the uninitiated or unwary.

Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with flat side forearm panels & rnd knob buttstock with checkered steel buttplate. The Model 1901 is the successor to the Winchester Model 1887 lever action shotgun produced from about 1901 to about 1920 with a total production of about 13,500. They were made only in 10 ga. This was an improvement on the Model 1887 with more modern steel capable of firing smokeless powder loads. These shotguns were strong & reliable and popular as security arms with coach and mine guards. As such, they frequently had their bbls cut to a more manageable length. Although they are strong & reliable, competition from a variety of slide action repeating shotguns prevented extensive sales.

Their Winchester rifles are leaning on a log upon which one of the hunters is sitting. The left vignette is of a flying mallard drake and the right side is a bull moose head. Top center has the bright red Winchester Repeating Arms Co logo with various other advertisements and the address across the bottom. The exposed image is about 48-3/4″ x 31-1/4″ and mounted in a replacement walnut stained frame with gold gesso inner frame that measures 56″ w x 38-3/4 h. Back of the board has its orig heavy paper covering that is completely intact showing only one reattached cartridge which is the 4 ga brass shotshell.
