Anthony C. Daum (1944 – 2013)

Anthony Charles Daum (Tony) was born in New Jersey and grew up in Chicora, a small town in western Pennsylvania. He graduated from Washington and Jefferson College with a BA in History and completed ROTC training. After earning a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania he served three years in the United States Army including a tour of duty in Vietnam and he achieved the rank of captain. After leaving the Army he began a 40 year career with Bechtel Corporation. While at Bechtel he worked as a contracts manager on construction projects around the world including the Arun LNG Project in Indonesia, the New Riyadh Airport Project in Saudi Arabia, the New Palace Project in Brunei and the Pakistan Airports Project in Karachi, Pakistan. From 1992 to 2013 Tony and his wife and three sons lived in Bangkok where he worked on a series of gas pipeline projects for the Petroleum Authority of Thailand. Tony was a railroad enthusiast and rode trains on six continents. He was also a dedicated book collector and had amassed a large library on a wide range of subjects.

As can be seen by his collection, Tony was an avid and discerning gun collector. The first gun he acquired was from a high school friend, a Winchester-Hotchkiss rifle. It was little more than a relic. While he talked about restoring it he never got to that project. In addition to doing restoration work on his collection, Tony crafted three excellent flint lock rifles.

At the time of his final illness Tony was working on his book United States Military Firearms Inspector’s Marks. His drawings of the various inspector marks demonstrate he was a gifted artist.

211 Iron Mounted Merrill Rifle ID’d to Wm. L. Lutzman, 1st IN Heavy Artillery .54 caliber, 33” S/N 1469. Barrel with breech stamped J.H. Merrill Balto Pat. July 1858. Lockplate stamped J.H. Merrill Balto Pat. July 1858 Apl 9 May 21-26-61. Left side with side ring and swivel. Brass trigger bow is engraved with the name William Lutzman. Brass buttplate and nosecap. Iron patchbox, iron triggerbow, iron side plate, iron bands and retainers. Walnut stock. Iron-mounted Merrill rifles are extremely rare. Others were (privately) purchased by and for the regiment and it appears that only those going to companies “H” and “I” may have been held long enough to have company letters cut in the tool box.

There exits some discrepancy regarding the rifle’s ownership. While the brass triggerguard is clearly engraved “LUTZMAN”, this soldier who joined as Corporal in July 1861 is also listed as William L. LIETZMAN. Lutzman/Lietzman was discharged for disability on April 10, 1862, ten months before the regiment converted to Heavy Artillery and acquired the first of its associated Merrill Rifles.

Another more likely owner from Carlisle, Indiana named William P. Lisman joined Company D, 21st Indiana as Corporal in July 1861. Upon reorganization Corporal Lisman duly transferred as Company D, 1st Indiana Heavy Artillery in February 1863 and was later promoted to Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant. He served in this capacity for the duration of the war and mustered out January 13, 1866. As he served in an administrative role during the time elements of the regiment used the Merrill rifle, we believe that Sgt. William P. Liseman is the likely owner.

Originally organized in July 1861 as the 21st Indiana Infantry armed with Enfield rifles, the unit left the State for Baltimore, Md., July 31, and was on duty in the defenses of that city until February 19, 1862. Attached to Dix’s Division, Baltimore, Md., to February 1862. Butler’s New Orleans Expedition to March 1862. 2nd Brigade, Dept. of the Gulf, to October 1862. Independent Command, Dept. of the Gulf, to January 1863. Unattached, 1st Division, 19th Army Corps, Dept. of the Gulf, to February 1863. Designation changed to 1st Regiment Indiana Heavy Artillery, February 1863. Artillery, 1st Division, 19th Army Corps, to August 1863. District of Baton Rouge, La., Dept. of the Gulf, to June 1864. Unattached, 19th Army Corps, and unattached, Dept. of the Gulf, to January 1866.

Hotchkiss buttplate with trap for cleaning rods, which are missing.

Silver plaque in the butt pistol grip reads: Third Prize Marksman Rifle awarded by The War Department to First Sergeant E.P. Wells Co H 2nd Infantry Division Of the Pacific 1881 Two scores Five consecutive shots at 200, 400.600 yards total score 124. This particular rifle came from Ozzie Klaverstad who owned the famous Stagecoach collection. This rifle is pictured in color The Stagecoach Museum Gun Collection Book (1978) on page 21. When it came out it had been missing the rear and front sights, and was cracked in the wrist, with a diamond-shaped piece of ebony inlaid to hide the crack. Jack Haugh, who is in the Custom Longrifle Makers hall of fame did the restoration on this rifle. He brought back to life one of the great rarities of collecting U.S. military long arms. The rifle was well worth the restoration and done by one of Americans best and most prominent gunsmiths. The War Department ordered nine total rifles to be presented to the second, third and fourth place winners in each of the divisions, Pacific, Missouri and the Atlantic. Of the nine, four are known to exist.

Beyond his demonstrated expertise as a marksman, Edward P. Wells (1844-1904) was a Civil War veteran who later enlisted in the regular army serving twenty-three years before retiring

in November 1883. Wells’ Civil War service is something of a mystery as he apparently used the alias “Elmer Williams” possibly because of his age. Whatever the case, both names are confirmed in his pension application (as invalid) dated April 5, 1886 indicating service in both the 1st NY Cavalry and the 2nd US infantry. Born in Enterprise, Indiana on July 8, 1844, a rootsweb.com biography (transcribed from “The History of North Washington” published in 1904) that appears embellished has him serving as sixteen-year-old “Elmer Williams,” first in the three-month 12th Ohio, then in the 1st New York Cavalry for the duration. The biography has Williams-Wells riding with the Army of the Potomac as a “scout for Custer” and frequenting “General Sheridan’s headquarters,” having participated in no less than thirteen major engagements, including First Bull Run, Antietam, Cedar Creek, Petersburg and Five Forks to name but a few.

Alternatively, HDS lists “Edward P. Wells” as having joined Company I, 20th New York Cavalry on September 1, 1864. Known as the McClellan Cavalry, this regiment was initially attached to the 18th Corps, Department of Virginia and North Carolina, and ended the war with the Army of the James, having seen limited action. Mustered out in June 1865, Williams-Wells appears to have soon re-enlisted in the regular army, being posted to Carlisle Barracks as a drillmaster. The rootsweb.com biography eludes to his subsequent service in the newly raised 7th Cavalry in which he served until November 1873.

US Returns from Regular Army infantry Regiments 1821-1916 document Sergeant Edward P. Wells later career assigned to Company H, 2nd US Infantry at the Atlanta Depot beginning in July 1874. After reconstruction duty in the South the regiment was posted to the distant Department of the Columbia in 1877, campaigning in the Washington, Oregon and Idaho Territory against the Nez Perce and the Bannocks where the 2nd Infantry suffered one soldier killed, two wounded and ten deaths by other causes. During this period the records indicate

The Spokane Times of November 6, 1879 filed this: “E.P. Wells returning from the Creedmoor rifle match passed through town last week, on his way to Fort Colville. He participated in match shooting at Vancouver and in California, from each place the best shots being selected. He came off victorious, winning the prize, as well as the honor of being the ‘crack shot’ of the Army. “

Sergeant Wells did not do as well in 1880, although, again, the matches were covered in San Francisco, Spokane and Philadelphia, and certainly other papers as well.

Significantly, the August 20, 1882 edition of the United States Army and Navy Journal (Vol. XX, August 5, 1882-July 28, 1883) reporting news from the Department of the Columbia mentions Sgt. Wells and this very same Springfield: “There arrived at headquarters this week the U.S. Marksman’s rifle, the third prize, won by Sergt. E.P. Wells, 34 Inf., in last year’s contest. It is a beautiful gun, and has won the admiration of all the marksmen who have seen it.”

After twenty-three years of continuous service First Sergeant Edward P. Wells mustered out of the army at Fort Spokane, Washington Territory on November 30, 1883. He stayed in the territory, moving near Springdale at Stevens County where his biography relates that he was “one of the leading ranchers and stockmen in the valley.” Wells did not marry until May 1894 and had no children from his union with widow Sadie E. Cook, a native of Iowa. The sergeant was a church-going man and a member of the Wallace Post No. 104, G.A.R. The acclaimed marksman died at age 60 on January 16, 1904 and was buried in the Springdale Cemetery.

Barrel retains some of the original blue finish, just lightly fading and turning plum. Receiver is sharp and crisp with a silvery to grey mottled look. Breechblock has the same mottled grey look and evenly matches the receiver. Lockplate with some traces of blue finish with sharp and crisp engraving. Hammer is very sharp and crisp with some traces of color in the protected areas. Triggerguard is sharp and crisp with a silvery look.

that due to his shooting proficiency Sergeant E.P. Wells was frequently detached from the regiment. A perennial favorite in the army’s annual shooting competition, his exploits are well documented in numerous period newspaper accounts.

In the 19th century, however, shooting matches were broad-based entertainment. The many newspaper reports of these matches describe the subsequent parades, picnics, even dancing that accompanied these events. The gun is accompanied by copies of articles from the Spokane Times, San Francisco Evening Bulletin, Idaho Tri-Weekly Statesman, even the New York Times - all with reports about the annual Creedmoor, Long Island, NY, National Rifle Match.

The western papers covered the qualification and regional matches that set the teams that went to Creedmoor. The Spokane Times of June 5, 1879, with a headline “Practicing for the Creedmoor Match” reported: “We are pleased to have the opportunity of announcing that Northeastern Washington & Northern Idaho are to be represented at the Creedmoor Match which is to take place at the Creedmoor Range, Long Island, N.Y., in Sept. next. The “team” at Camp Coeur d’Alene, at present, consists of the following named officers and enlisted men: [Wells among them, listed third of four]… When the above scores are beaten by anyone using the same pattern arm, under the same rules as they were fired, Sergt. Wells will beat the above score for a purse.”

The San Francisco Evening Bulletin of July 21, 1879 notes: “A dispatch from Portland of the 20th says the target shooting at the headquarters of the Department of the Columbia was not up to expectation. E.P. Wells, First Sergeant, Co. H, Second Infantry, won the medal, which was presented to him by Gen. O.O. Howard.” [It goes on to give the team that will compete at the Presidio.] The following week, the Spokane Times (July 30, 1879) reported: “By private correspondence we learn that Sergt. Ed. P. Wells, of Co. “H” 2nd Infantry won the Department prize at the rifle match at Vancouver on the 19th instant….”

The next level was the regional match at the Presidio in San Francisco. The San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin (Aug. 1, 1879) and New York Times (Aug. 3, 1879) reported on the progress of the match. The Idaho Tri-Weekly Statesman for Aug. 5, 1879 reported: “The three days title tournament which has been held at the Presidio for the Division Medal and places on the Creedmoor team was concluded yesterday morning…” [It goes on to list scores and members of the Creedmoor team, including Sergt. Wells]

“The team will now practice fifteen days after which they will proceed to New York where they will shoot at Governor’s Island, preparatory to entering the Creedmoor tournament. Their chances in that contest are by no means flattering. Privates in the military Division of the Pacific have not the advantage of many of those in the Division of the Atlantic, where many are employed about ordnance and have a great deal of practice in testing rifles, whereas those at the Pacific are allowed but twenty cartridges a month, which are not sufficient to keep them proficient and they do not care to spend money which they use to better advantage for the powder and balls necessary to make them crack shots. Another advantage some of the Eastern teams possess, is that their officers supply all necessary ammunition for practice, which is carried on incessantly.”

The New York Times (Aug. 29, 1879) reported: “The programme of the Autumn prize-meeting of the National Rifle Association was issued to its members yesterday…. The principal match is the international military contest for atrophy valued at $1,000, presented by Judge Hilton. It is open to teams of 12 men each from all countries and from the Army and Navy. There will be two, and possibly three, teams from the United States Army. The team from the Department of the Atlantic has been encamped at Creedmoor for the past month, and the team representing the Department of the Pacific arrived yesterday. It includes the best shots among the troops stationed in California, Arizona, and Columbia. …The California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New-Jersey National Guards will also send teams…. “

The interest grew on both coasts, as later in September, there were articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer and San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin (both Sept. 19, 1879) reporting the progress of the match. The following day the Daily Evening Bulletin gave the team scores. The Idaho Tri-Weekly Statesman on the 25th of the month also updated the scores.

Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the bidder’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Ohio.3) TERMS OF SALE. Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold.4) BUYER’S PREMIUM. (a) Buyer’s Premium for “Antique and Modern Firearms” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 17.5% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (b) Buyer’s Premium for “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art”, “American History”, “Fine Jewelry and Timepieces” , “World at War” and any other specialized auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (c) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary. 5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES. Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the seller of the lot and Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate.6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS. Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for a period of 14 days after bidder’s receipt of the purchased lot. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty.Except as provided in the immediately proceeding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalogue or other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions may be approximate.

By signing the absentee bid form or placing a bid by telephone, an absentee bidder authorizes Cowan’s to charge the Purchase Price for each lot for which such bidder is the successful bidder to the credit card number provided by telephone or on the absentee bid form, unless payment in full or alternative payment instruction is received within 14 days after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full.Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction.Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30 days.

Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm.Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.17) SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 21 days after the auction date, a $10 per item per day storage fee may be charged to the buyer.19) CANCELLATION OF SALE. If purchased property remains in the custody of Cowan’s for a period of 60 days following the auction, Cowan’s may, at its option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available to Cowan’s.Copyright © 2014 Cowan’s Auctions
