| 47 | Pettengill | Navy Revolver | 0.34 | 3 | Fine with the surface cleaned bright, with scattered minor pitting. Engraving is finely executed. Grips are also fine, with mild varnish loss and a few dents. Mechanically excellent. |
A rare and wonderful Pettengill revolver with what appears to be period correct, well executed, factory panel scene engraving. Based on the highly desirable single digit serial number and the excellent engraving, this museum quality pistol is thought to be an exhibition or presentation piece, but the details are lost in the annals of time until some enterprising research reveals the historical facts. Frame is finely engraved, with ornate scrollwork on the right side, around the screw on the left side, on the trigger guard and down the backstrap, burst patterns behind the rear sight on the butt, and, on the left side, a scene of an armed man on horseback shooting a tomahawk bearing Indian warrior with a second warrior lying already wounded or dying on the ground. Octagonal barrel at 4.5 inches with 6 rifling grooves. Percussion cap and paper wrapped cartridges at .34 caliber. US Navy records a total of 900 revolvers ordered for the Civil war period, according to Flayderman's Guide to "Antique American Firearms and Their Values", (F+W Media Inc.: 2007), p.367. Original smooth walnut grips. The Pettengill was a double-action revolver and as such was the only martial revolver to use an internal hammer. The Navy, or Belt Model, was an improved version of the earlier Pocket Model Revolver and featured a greater overall size and larger caliber than its predecessor. Pettingill revolvers were manufactured by Rogers & Spencer of Willowvale, New York c. late 1850s. The unusual "hammerless" Pettengill revolver is self-cocking only. The L-shaped hammer is concealed within its frame. Pulling the trigger revolves the cylinder, fires, and cocks the hammer for the next shot. Its pepperbox-like mechanism was patented by C. S. Pettengill of New Haven, Connecticut, U. S. Patent 15,388, July 22, 1856, improved by Edward A. Raymond and Charles Robotaille of Brooklyn, New York, U. S. Patent 21,054, July27, 1858, and Henry S. Rogers of Willow Vale, New York, U. S. Patent 36,861, November 4, 1862. This weapon was manufactured by Rogers, Spencer & Company at Willow Vale, New York, before the Rogers & Spencer revolver was produced. |

| 50 | Ruger | Mark I | .22 LR | 318602 | New |
Manufactured in 1951, the third year of production for the Mark I, this pristine example has the factory bull barrel at 5 3/8 inches, a "Micro" adjustable rear sight and checkered black plastic grips with silver and black Ruger logo insert in left grip but not the right. The bull barrel is unmarked, which is correct for the Mark I. The correct Ruger magazine is 9 shot with the spring knob on the right side. The left side is flat, without the full length groove which Ruger introduced after this pistol was produced. Ruger Mark I magazines with non-slotted, flat metal magazines are rare. This one, purchased separately from the New Condition pistol, shows minor previous wear.
History: The Ruger Mark I is a semi-automatic pistol that was first produced in 1949. It is a single-action pistol that is chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. The Mark I was produced until 1981, when it was replaced by the Ruger Mark II. |

| 51 | Ruger | RH28 Hawkeye | .256 WinMag | 372 | New |
A RARE RUGER Model RH28 single shot pistol in .256 Winchester Magnum. The 256 Win Mag. cartridge is essentially a 357 Magnum necked down to 25 caliber. This is a rare firearm as only 3300 (approximate) were produce from 1963-64. The action consists of a rotating breech block, which take the place of a cylinder, producing a single shot pistol. With the breech block rotated to OPEN position, a plunger on the left side of the pistol provides for extraction of the spent case, followed by insertion of a fresh cartridge directly into the chamber (which is integral with the 8.5 inch barrel). The left side of the barrel is marked with “RUGER HAWKEYE. / WIN. .256 MAG. CAL”, a Ruger logo, and “®”. The left side of the frame is marked “STURM, RUGER & CO. / SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A.”. The right side of the frame is marked with the serial number. The top of the barrel where is meets the frame is marked “S”. The front sight is a serrated blade integral to a base screwed to the barrel. The rear sight is a square-notch leaf pinned to the topstrap that is adjustable for elevation and windage. The top of the barrel is drilled, tapped, and filled for optic rail options. The grips are two-piece smooth wood panels. There are no chips or cracks. The action functions correctly. The lock up is solid.

| 59 | Ruger | RH28 Hawkeye | .256 Win Mag | 3192 | New with Ruger Red Lightning on Rt Side of Breech Block |
Ruger Hawkeye .256 Winchester Magnum Single Shot Pistol, introduced in the early 1960s and manufactured briefly in 1963, was a bold and innovative departure from traditional handgun designs, leveraging the robust framework of the Blackhawk revolver. By installing a .25-caliber barrel and replacing the cylinder with a unique swiveling breech-block system that tilted to the left when unlocked, Ruger created a mechanism that allowed shooters to manually load single cartridges directly into the barrel. This design not only streamlined the shooting process by eliminating the barrel-cylinder gap typical of revolvers and the magazine-feed ramp found in semi-automatics but significantly enhanced the potential for accuracy by simplifying the bullet’s path when fired.
Economically, the Hawkeye was a sound product. Many of its components were already in production for the Blackhawk revolver, allowing Ruger to offer the Hawkeye at an introductory price of under a hundred dollars—a compelling price point in the early-mid ’60s. Despite these innovations and its economical production, the Hawkeye did not meet commercial success and was discontinued after only about 3,200 (an estimate based on known serial numbers) units were made. The pistol’s lack of popularity could partly be attributed to its chambering in the .256 Winchester Magnum, an update of the black powder-era .25-20 Winchester that never caught on among shooters. This cartridge was initially without a firearm chambered specifically for it until Marlin introduced a .256-caliber lever-action rifle. Moreover, the Hawkeye’s advanced capabilities were somewhat ahead of their time, particularly in terms of accuracy at long ranges which could have benefited significantly from high-quality optical sights—technology that was not readily available in 1963. Consequently, the Ruger Hawkeye, though a marvel of engineering and foresight, remained underappreciated in its time, ultimately remembered more for its pioneering design than its market success. This narrative underscores the Hawkeye as not just a firearm but as a testament to Ruger’s innovative spirit and a poignant example of being too advanced for the commercial realities of its era. These scarce firearms are a pleasure to shoot, with a smooth trigger, a long sight radius and mild recoil . They are accurate and dependable functionally. This example is the highest serial number we have ever encountered and one of only three examples we have owned that were stamped with a serial number in the 3000 range. |
