SCARCE U.S. MODEL 1842 PISTOL GAUGE DISPLAY.

Lot # 3026 (Sale Order: 26 of 457)      

To quote an 1819 Ordnance Department report, "On the subject uniformity of arms... it will be necessary to have a set of original patterns and gauges of each and every pa...morert... sealed and kept in the Ordnance Department at Washington, and to cause those [gauges] of the superintendent of each factory to be sent occasionally to that office, to be compared with them and fitted anew, if required". Offered here is a very scarce opportunity to own approximately half of a set of gauges for the US M1842 percussion martial pistol. Martial pistol gauges were nearly always decommissioned and disposed of each time the US military adopted a new pistol, with very few ever surfacing. Accompanying this lot is a Winter 2018 article from the Museum of Connecticut History detailing a very similar example in their collection. CONDITION: Excellent for their age, with age-related freckling throughout. The gauges are nicely framed in an oak frame with areas of filled knots and small repairs.

GEORGIA ZOUAVES BADGE OF LIEUTENANT PENN BEDELL.

Lot # 3028 (Sale Order: 28 of 457)      

An attractive badge named to Penn Bedell, who was a southerner with a colorful history. Bedell enlisted in the Confederate States Army on April 28, 1861, at New Orleans in Nelligan’s 1st Louisiana for 1 year and was 2nd Lt. of Co. D. He resigned in July 1861, but apparently then became 1st Lt. in Company C, serving until March 1862 when he was “dropped,” likely indicating he did not reenlist “for the war” when the army was reorganizing in Spring 1862. During the post-war years, he was a member of the Georgia Zouaves, and an 1874 newspaper article sheds light on this award: "Lieut. Key, of the Jonesboro Zouaves presented Lieut. Bedell of the Georgia Zouaves with a magnificent gold badge, representing the coat of arms of Georgia." The badge is quite attractive and features a ribbon bearing the name "PENN BEDELL" with chain suspension that holds a cross that exhibits the Georgia coat of arms as described by the article, with presentation in each arm of the cross. Bedell has an interesting history, as he was involved in a shootout with an Atlanta policeman, M.W. Rasbury, in which Bedell killed Rasbury; Rasbury was the first Atlanta police officer killed in the line of duty. Since Rasbury shot twice first, Bedell had the charges against him dropped. Bedell was later murdered on February 19, 1874 and was buried in his Zouaves uniform. The badge exhibits a pleasing light patina with no visible gold markings, and is most likely gilded brass. CONDITION: Very good....more

ARCHIVE OF CAPTAIN ANTHONY C. WOODS.

Lot # 3029 (Sale Order: 29 of 457)      

Archive of Anthony C. Woods that consists of 2 footlockers from his military service. Woods was commissioned in the United States Army as a 2nd lieutenant and began the Armor Officer Basic Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in July 2003. While there, he volunteered for his first deployment to Iraq to lead a platoon of National Guard soldiers. Woods deployed to the Diyala province of Iraq, where he served for 11 months and returned from this deployment in January, 2005. From there, he was transferred from Fort Bragg to Fort Carson, Colorado. Later that year, he made his second deployment to Iraq with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. He eventually studied at Harvard and, shortly after graduation, reported to Fort Knox, Kentucky, for the Armor Captain's Career Course. He was subsequently discharged under the government's now-repealed “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy despite earning several prestigious awards while serving his country. Woods is also Whitehouse fellow, served under governor Paterson in New York, and worked with the Hillary Clinton campaign during her presidential run. The group is a mix of items from his service including photos, uniform pieces, ephemera, documents, etc. All items exhibit blemishes that are typical of service wear and storage. CONDITION: Good-very good....more
