    A CENTURY OF ANTIQUE GUN VALUES 7 BY GREG MartiN Greg Martin and S.P. Fjestad shown honoring the late R.L. Wilson at an Antique Arms Show in Las Vegas. n April 12, 1958, James E.

His presentation was titled “Are Antique Guns a Good graph to his audience, listing 16 classifications of antique firearms by Investment?” I discovered his speech among the copious books and value and their ranking, with Colt firearms being the leaders in catalogues I had accumulated in years of collecting. It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity. Colts would continue to hold this that first caught my attention, because I felt that I already knew the exalted position for the next fifty-plus years, with Winchesters eventually answer, but the year it was presented. The 1950s were a decade that I reaching parity. could relate to. This is when my collecting adventures began amid surging While Serven’s investment calculations comparing gun values with interest in antique guns and sage warnings that prices were too high. conventional financial instruments, such as real estate, were of some 1958 was the midpoint to where we are today, and the vantage point merit, his identification of the subtle changes in gun values influenced from where Serven would answer his own question.

  • Henry Nock, Innovator 1741–1804
    001_wainwright 1/29/04 10:33 AM Page 1 Henry Nock, Innovator 1741–1804 Peter S. Wainwright Of the comparatively little known about Henry Nock, much has come from the research and writings of Howard L. Blackmore. In 1955 and 1956, he submitted articles to the “Journal of the Arms and Armour Society.” The first was enti- tled The Seven Barreled Guns of Henry Nock and the sec- ond, The Experimental Arms of Henry Nock. These two monographs later formed the backbone of Chapter V of his seminal work, “British Military Firearms 1650–1850” first published in 1961. Chapter V was the only one of twelve devoted to a single gunmaker. The 1956 article started out with the statement: “Arms historians have dealt shamefully with that great London gunmaker, Henry Nock. Credit for the invention of a gun has been given him when he was no more than the maker, and conversely, the lock which he worked so hard to an engineer and tool and gauge maker as well as an experi- perfect has been denied him.”1 menter, innovator, inventor, successful businessman and as The “gun” in question illustrated in Figure 1 is, of we shall see later a remarkably enlightened employer. course, the seven barrel volley gun “invented” by one James Born in 1741, he became a gun locksmith at a time Wilson who was paid for his idea, though it was improved when the Crown for the most part bought locks, stocks and upon and made in quantity by Nock.

  • A Short History of Firearms
    Foundation for European Societies of Arms Collectors A short history of firearms Prepared for FESAC by: , ing. Jaś van Driel FARE consultants P.O. box 22276 3003 DG Rotterdam the Netherlands [email protected] Firearms, a short history The weapon might well be man’s earliest invention. Prehistoric man picked up a stick and lashed out at something or someone. This happened long before man learned to harness fire or invented the wheel. The invention of the weapon was to have a profound impact on the development of man. It provided the third and fourth necessities of life, after air and water: food and protection. It gave prehistoric man the possibility to hunt animals that were too big to catch by hand and provided protection from predators, especially the greatest threat of all: his fellow man. The strong man did not sit idly while intelligent man used the weapon he invented to match his brute force and soon came up with a weapon of his own, thus forcing intelligent man to come up with something better. The arms race had started. This race has defined the history of mankind. To deny the role that weapons in general and firearms in particular have played in deciding the course of history is like denying history itself. The early years During the Stone Age axes, knives and spears appeared and around 6000 BC the bow made its debut. This was the first weapon, after the throwing spear, that could be used at some distance from the intended target, though possibly slings also were used to hurl stones.

  • Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles
    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion.

It also provides instruction on proper maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures. This manual must be used in conjunction with the service wide standards for Historic Weapons Firing Demonstrations (NPS-6 Guidelines for Interpretation). The information below largely comes from primary sources of the period during which the weapons described were used. Several generations of NPS historic weapons personnel have modifi ed these original texts in order to improve demonstrator and visitor safety, make the original texts more comprehensible and to incorporate knowledge gained from years of actually using these weapons in the fi eld. The Park’s Certifi ed Historic Weapons Program Supervisor is responsible for the training and safety of the demonstrators, as well as the safety of the visitors. The following criteria will help determine when a demonstrator has been adequately trained. 1 THE SHARPS CARBINE This manual mainly deals with the use and care of reproduction Model 1859 and Model 1863 Sharps carbines, which were the predominant carbine used during the American Civil War and are by far the most popular reprodction cavalry arm used today.

  • Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.”
    Rifles Part III. Magazines In Motion: Revolvers, Turrets, & Harmonicas Revolving Magazines The nineteenth century was a time of great mechanical innovation, marked by thousands of inventive creators seeking patents for all manner of curiously-engineered devices. Firearms were no exception, and a glance at any “weird weapons” collection reveals dozens of oddities, often stamped between 1820–1860. Many of these utilized some form of revolving magazine, whether a cylinder, a cluster of barrels, a turret, or some form of rotary chain. This introduction offers a short history of the revolver, followed by profiles for the more unique, popular, or interesting repeaters that use some form of moving magazine. A more detailed history of revolvers and the Colt patent is found in “Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.” Pepperbox Guns The general mechanism of a revolving magazine evolved from the “pepperbox” gun of the early nineteenth century. A pepperbox gun features a cluster of smooth-bore barrels which are rotated into position and fired individually. Predating the advent of the cartridge, pepperbox guns are muzzle-loaded, and require a separate primer charge for each barrel. Pepperbox guns began fading in popularity before the Civil War, replaced by the more efficient percussion revolver. The Percussion Revolver One of the most significant innovations in firearm design, a revolver features a cylindrical magazine that holds each round in an individual chamber. The first modern revolver was designed by Elisha Haydon Collier in 1814, and was a self-priming flintlock with a manually- rotated cylindrical magazine. Having been exposed to the Collier revolver during a voyage abroad, Samuel Colt made the critical innovation that earned him one of the century’s most famous patents—a revolving cylinder that was mechanically rotated.
