The frame, knuckles, and dagger are polished nickel silver, the balance of the small parts and the cylinder a beautiful high polished black/blue. The bottom of the frame is marked D. Kucer in front of the trigger, and the serial number 2 is stamped a little closer to the front bottom of the frame near the dagger. 100% completely fully functional. Complete with the original Kucer sterling silver hinged top casing with push button latch. The casing French fit with a medium blue velvet lining. Absolutely 100% mint and looks like it was made yesterday! Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12, Photo 13 Price: $4,500.00

This is one of only two 1/3 scale Remington Model 1895 .41 caliber over/under derringers made by the legendary gunsmith and gundealer Tommy Haas, Sr. 1 15/16" long overall with a 1 1/8" barrel group. The barrels are rifled and show evidence of having been fired. Beautifully engraved with about 50% coverage, gold plated frame, silver plated barrels. The hammer and trigger are case colored, the barrel release lever and screws are fire blue, and the extractor is blued. Nice mother of pearl two piece grips with brass grip escutcheons. Cased in what looks to be a Ron DeWalt casing with a nickel plated cleaning rod with a brass handle. The firing pin is properly articulated and changes position upon each cocking to fire the other barrel. The bottom of the barrel marked 10, but I talked to Tommy about this before he passed and he said they stamped the 1 upside down and is is supposed to be 01. I sold serial #02 about five years ago and this is it's twin brother. Beautiful near mint condition with only the fainted traces of handling. The miniature cartridge shown in the photos is not included. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9 Price: $2,850.00

This is a gorgeous true 50% or 1/2 scale Colt single action army revolver by an unknown maker. 6 3/8" long overall with a 3 11/16" rifled barrel of .22 caliber. This would be the 7 1/2" barreled version. This is very obviously larger than a 47% scale Uberti Colt SAA. Highly polished engraved blue finish with gold plating and gold wire inlays. The majority of the steel parts are blued with the exception of the hammer, trigger, cylinder pin, and ejector rod which are gold plated. The barrel, frame, cylinder, ejector rod housing, backstrap, and triggerguard are expertly engraved with about 50% coverage. There are double gold wire inlaid bands at the muzzle, just behind the front sight, at the rear of the barrel, and at the rear of the cylinder. There is a single gold line wire inlaid along the bottom and rear of the frame. Engraved nickel silver front sight, black powder frame, and round bullseye ejector rod button. The barrel is properly marked with the Colt one line barrel address. The left front side of the frame marked with the two Colt patent dates in two lines. No serial numbers anywhere. There is a cryptic marking on the bottom of the ejector rod housing which looks like a combination of the letters T, J, and F. I don't know if this is the mark of the maker or maybe the engraver. Beautiful high relief raised carved ivory grips showing a Mexican eagle, snake, and cactus. The right grip showing a couple of age surface cracks running diagonally from the heal of the butt up to the hammer. The cylinder will chamber a .22 rimfire cartridge, but the firing pin is centerfire, so it will not shoot them. No casing or accessories. Outstanding condition with just a little friction wear on the sides of the hammer. I believe this to be a one-of-a-kind piece by a true master miniature maker of the equal of Ray Hutchens or Leon Crotett.

This is a beautiful 1/3 scale Bowie knife or dagger by Todd Kopp of Arizona. I had thought it might have been made by Herschel Kopp of Ohio, but a good friend and customer sent me information on the rightful maker. The beautiful Damascus blade is 2 5/8" long and is marked KOPP on one side near the guard. OAL is 5 1/2". The ivory handle is spiral fluted with alternating thin & wide grooves. The thin grooves have a braided silver or maybe stainless steel wire inlay that is just fantastic. What really makes it is the uniformity of the braiding. Guard and pommel are steel with an unusual grey/brown finish. It's in a bracelet type jewelry box that is no big deal but does a good job of protecting the miniature dagger. Great craftsmanship and even better looking in hand! Price: !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
