Bonhams assumes no responsibility for damage or wear incurred during the safe handling demonstration. See also Section 7, The HSC Law, below. 4. Waiting Period for California Residents: California State law requires a 10-day waiting period prior to picking up registered firearms. This statute applies to ALL longarms and handguns manufactured after Holders of Curio/Relic Collectors licenses must have a valid Certificate of Eligibility issued by the DOJ in order to be exempt from the waiting period. 5. California Law Requiring Firearms Safety Devices (Section ): (a) All firearms sold or transferred in this state by a licensed firearms dealer, including private transfers through a dealer, and all firearms manufactured in this state, shall include or be accompanied by a firearms safety device that is listed on the Department of Justice s roster of approved firearms safety devices. (b) All firearms sold or transferred in this state by a licensed firearms dealer, including private transfers through a dealer, and all firearms manufactured in this state shall be accompanied with warning language or labels as described in Section (c) The sale or transfer of a firearm shall be exempt from subdivision (a) if both of the following apply: (c1) The purchaser or transferee owns a gun safe that meets the standards set forth in Section Gun safes shall not be required to be tested, and therefore may meet the standards without appearing on the Department of Justice roster. (c2) The purchaser or transferee presents an original receipt for purchase of the gun safe, or other proof of purchase or ownership of the gun safe as authorized by the Attorney General, to the firearms dealer. The dealer shall maintain a copy of the receipt or proof of purchase with the dealers record of sales of firearms. (d) The sale or transfer of a firearm will be exempt from subdivision (a) if all of the following apply: (d1) The purchaser or transferee purchases an approved safety device no more than 30 days prior to the day the purchaser or transferee takes possession of the firearm. (d2) The purchaser or transferee presents the approved safety device to the firearms dealer when picking up the firearm. (d3) The purchaser or transferee presents an original receipt to the firearms dealer which shows the date of purchase, the name, and the model number of the safety device. (d4) The firearms dealer verifies that the requirements in (d1) and (d3), inclusive, have been satisfied. (d5) The firearms dealer maintains a copy of the receipt along with the dealers record of sales of firearms. 6. California Law Limiting Handgun Purchases: No person shall make an application to purchase more than one pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person within any 30-day period. 7. The HSC Law: Pursuant to California Penal Code Section 12071, any person who acquires a handgun must have a Handgun Safet Certificate (HSC) obtained by passing a written test on handgun safety. Prior to taking delivery of a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer, the purchaser/recipient must also successfully perform a safe handling demonstration with that handgun. The Penal Code exempts specific categories of persons who are experienced and proficient with handguns from the HSC and safe handling demonstration requirements. The exemptions to the HSC requirements are listed as follows: Special Weapons Permit Holder Operation of Law Representative Handgun Being Returned to the Owner Military - Active Duty Military - Reserve Military - Honorably Retired Peace Officer - California - Active Peace Officer - Federal - Active Any federal peace officer who is authorized to carry a firearm while on duty. Peace Officer - California - Honorably Retired Peace Officer - California - Reserve Peace Officer - Federal - Honorably Retired Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit Holder P.O.S.T. 832 PC (Firearms) Training Particular and Limited Authority Peace Officers Law Enforcement Service Gun to Family Member Please contact the California Department of Justice for further details, or inquire with the Arms & Armor Department at (415) Safe Handling Demonstration Affidavits Pursuant to Penal Code section (b)(8), no firearms dealer may deliver a handgun unless the purchaser/ recipient has successfully performed a safe handling demonstration with that handgun. As used in the statute, that handgun is considered by the DOJ to mean that very handgun being transferred or one of the same make and model as the one being transferred. Although the law mandates that the safe handling demonstration be performed under the supervision of a DOJ Certified Instructor, it is the responsibility of the firearms dealer to complete and attach to the DROS, an affidavit stating the safe handling demonstration requirement was met. The DOJ Safe Handling Affidavit form (FD 039), must be signed and dated by the DOJ Certified Instructor, the handgun purchaser/recipient, and the dealer or employee of the dealer delivering the handgun. If a handgun purchaser/recipient has a valid exemption from the Handgun Safety Certificate requirement, he or she is also exempt from safe handling demonstration requirement. Proof of Residence Handgun registrations must be accompanied by proof of residence at the address appearing on the registrant s California Drivers License. A copy of a vehicle registration or current utility bill bearing that address is sufficient to provide proof of residence. BONHAMS WILL NOT ALLOW ANY PURCHASER OF A CONCEALABLE FIREARM TO LEAVE THE PREMISES WITHOUT SUPPLYING A COPY OF THEIR HSC LICENSE OR PROOF OF THEIR EXEMPTION STATUS TO BONHAMS. 8. San Francisco Laws Requiring Gun Locks: The City of San Francisco requires any buyer who does not have a valid FFL license to have in their possession a gun lock with key for every Modern or Curio/Relic firearm. Bonhams will provide gun locks at a charge of $15.00 per firearm. Bonhams cannot release any weapons to non-ffl holders without gun locks for all applicable weapons.

Under his command, Mitchell s unit participated in various Kentucky cavalry actions, including those at Chapmansville, Lewisburg, Meadow Bluffs, Slate Creek, Hazel Green, Hickman s Bridge, Monticello and during December 1862, in operations against the famed Confederate guerrilla John Hunt Morgan. On April 19th, 1863, Mitchell was promoted to Lt. Colonel. This promotion was disallowed and he was dropped from the rolls. The presentation of this elaborate sword to Mitchell reflected the level of respect held for him by the men of his original company. It appears from existing reports that at some time during his service, Mitchell contracted typhoid fever and suffered bouts of illness, rendering him unfit for command and requiring periodic leaves of absence from active service. Documents show this fact undoubtedly influenced the government decision to disallow his promotion and lead to his subsequent resignation. After the war, Mitchell was re-instated to the rank of Lt. Colonel. He married Lucinda Streeter on October 25, The couple had four children: Olive, born August 14, 1867; Frederick, born March 24, 1870; Ellanora, born September 18, 1872; and Cora, born October 13, Lt.

Arder detailing how the revolver was given to her father, Leo Zymetzke, by JoAnn Willoth, Hazel Willoth s daughter in JoAnn Willoth had become friends with Mr. Zymetzke when they were both employed in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. In 1972, as she had no remaining family she decided to give the gun to Mr. Zymetzke and his family. 4) Photocopies of other documents including Hazel and JoAnn Willoth s death certificates, both from Cook County, Illinois; a Smith & Wesson factory letter for no ; a statement of Mr. Zymetzke s employment at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, etc. Condition: Very good. Barrel with smooth grey patina showing traces of blued finish. Cylinder and frame retain perhaps 80% dark blue finish. Barrel with cracks and slight bulges on either side in front of breech, probably from later use of smokeless ammunition. Excellent grips. $300, ,000 Note: James Butler Hickok, aka Wild Bill, , is without doubt one of the most iconic figures of the Old West. As a lawman, gunfighter and scout, his reputation as possibly the finest shot with a handgun was known far and wide. On August 2, 1876, while playing poker at the Number 10 Saloon in Deadwood, holding the infamous Dead Man s Hand of aces and eights, he was murdered by Jack McCall. Seth Bullock had arrived in Deadwood the previous day and was made sheriff shortly thereafter. As was common at this time, it is quite likely that the deceased Hickok s effects were held by the sheriff s office. Germane to the question of the gun s provenance is a conversation that JoAnn Willoth had with the Zymetzke family, when she decided to give them the gun, in which she recalled that Adolph Fishel, Emil Willoth s father-in-law had founded a stationery, tobacco and sundries store with his brother Max, later known as Fishel s Bazaar, in Deadwood in According to family history, Wild Bill had run up a tab at the store before he was killed and the Smith & Wesson was given by Sheriff Bullock as reimbursement for the tab. 50 Bonhams

De Long, , born in New York, he settled in Yuba County, California in He became a lawyer in 1856 and was elected to the state legislature in He actively supported the Union during the Civil War. In 1864 he moved to Virginia City, Nevada and was elected to the state Constitutional Convention Committee.

Philippe d Auvergne, Prince of Bouillon, , was born on Jersey. He was gazetted a midshipman in the Royal Navy in In 1773 he served on the sloop Racehorse during during the Admiralty s Artic expedition. He was on active service during the American War of Independence and was captured by the French in While a prisoner in France he was paroled to Duke Godfrey de La Tour d Auvergne of Bouillon, who was seeking a worthy candidate for adoption as his natural son was disabled. Paroled in 1780, he resumed service with the navy. In 1787, after geneologists had researched their families connections, Philippe was adopted by the Duke de Bouillon as his heir. In 1783 he was appointed commander of the Channel Islands defense forces headquartered on Jersey, given a small fleet of converted Dutch gunboats and also put in charge of maintaining communications and supplying assistance to the Royalist insurgents in France. After Napoleon was defeated, D Auvergne attempted to finalize his claims to the Duchy of Bouillon but lost his case in court. Despondent and deeply in debt, he died, supposedly by suicide, in London in In 1796 the Philippe d Auvergne Pattern pistol was designed for him and some two hundred pairs were made by Durs Egg and Henry Nock at 48s. a pair. It is not known whether they were intended for the Royalists or whether they were for Bouillon s small naval force. See Howard L. Blackmore, British Military Firearms , 1961, p. 64; and H.
