THE TRADITION CONTINUES...

The tradition continues….

Our company’s roots in honesty and integrity were planted nearly 70 years ago with the auction family’s founders, Arthur & Lilla Julia. In the 1950’s my grandfather, Arthur, ran a successful insurance business. However, he realized that his true calling was in antiques and collectibles. Shortly after starting a small antiques business, Arthur and his family began offering auction services to reach a larger marketplace of buyers. It was not long before the auction firm grew to a popular well attended auction house. As the company grew so did the family’s inspiration to reach a larger audience.

In the early 1980’s Arthur’s son, world renowned hall of fame auctioneer James Julia, began to organize the family auction house into specialty divisions. The family business grew to a world renowned auction house and after his final sale in March of 2018 the family’s total sales had reached nearly $800 MILLION.

As the family business grew, Arthur, his daughter Jeannine Poulin & her husband Stephen Poulin began holding collectibles auctions. The company Julia-Poulin auctioneers guided by Arthur Julia’s core principles of straight forward honest business dealings quickly grew to a well-known regional auction house.

As the family businesses developed together so did the interest from the collecting fraternities. By the early 2000’s the two seperate companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another creating events that drew interest from across the globe. Together the two companies brought numerous famous collections to the market including; Elmer Keith Estate Collection, Evergreen Ventures Collection of Class-3 weapons, Bruce Stern Collection, Richard Rohal Collection, David Crocker Collection, John Houchins Collection, Robert Haskell III Collection, Larry Schlick Collection, Charles Lamb Collection, Lewis & Leyton Yearout Collection, Elliott Burka Collection & many more. As the two companies client bases melded and grew the event did as well. From 2008 until Jim Julia’s final auction in March 2018 the two companies in Fairfield Maine continuously held the largest grossing firearms auction event in the world generating an astonishing $15-25 MILLION in firearms sales per event.

Today based on annual sales our auction house (Poulin’s) is one of the top 4 firearm auction houses in the world. Our established impeccable reputation for honest & fair dealings with both buyers and sellers has been instrumental to our continued growth.  We offer a unique 30 business day limited guarantee that provides a greater level of confidence from buyers. After Jim Julia’s last auction we are now the only auction house in the firearms auction industry that offers this incredible guarantee.

Our recent purchase of Jim Julia’s state of the art auction facility and offices will now provide us with over 50,000 square feet of climate controlled and secure space dedicated to the promotion, presentation and efficient handling of fine firearms collections.

Jeannine Poulin

Arthur & Lilla Julia Founders

Stephen Poulin Treasurer

I could not be happier continuing to offer quality auctions in our family’s auction facilities. The presentation and atmosphere has been described by many as “electric”, “exciting”, “inviting”, & “comfortable”.

The streamlined handling of collections will continue to allow us to offer the best value to consignors and buyers in the firearms auction industry. Our seller’s commission is the most conservative in the industry. We regularly offer our 0% or better seller’s commission to clients who are taking advantage of our aggressive marketing campaign and ultra-low seller’s commission.

Arthur Julia taught the family to be honest, modest & fair. As he would explain to me “You do not need to get rich on every consignment. Just make sure that you are pointed in the right direction and look at the big picture.” I hold dear to those words and many others that he shared with me and look forward to continue presenting phenomenal collections and auctions to our clientele.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank you to all of my family & team that has been instrumental in developing our business, & thank you to my mother & father for everything that you have done to get us to where we are today.

Sincerely,

Nick Poulin

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

Please Read Updated 2/23

1. DESCRIPTIONS: We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. Should the need arise, we will make verbal corrections and provide additional information at the time of sale. A correction to the printed material announced by the auctioneer during the auction takes precedence over printed descriptions. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. Several examples: If we call a Colt a Winchester. Or if we state the firearm is in original finish and it has been re-blued. Percent estimate of finish is an opinion and may vary from individual to individual, so this would not qualify.

Not every item included in this auction has been completely disassembled to verify internal component’s origins. However, if we have made the statement that the item is “all matching” or “internal numbers match”, we guarantee that this information is accurate. If an item’s description does not list the status of the internal components, we do not guarantee that they are original, matching or that they are period. If you would like additional information concerning internal components of a firearm that does not mention the internal components in the description, please contact us at 207-453-2114 and our consultants will be happy to assist you at their earliest availability.

This limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.

Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves on the age, authenticity, condition, description and value of each lot before bidding. This includes all bidders whether they be here at the live auction, absentee, phone or internet bidders.

1A. FOR PURCHASERS WHO HAVE ITEMS SHIPPED TO THEM: Should there be a major discrepancy as listed in Item 1 above, a refund may be arranged and the buyer would need to make arrangements for the return within 30 business days of the auction date. Because consignor’s payments are sent out on the 35th business day after the auction, ANY REQUESTS MADE FOR A REFUND AFTER 30 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE AUCTION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. Please pay promptly to ensure that you have time to inspect your purchases. If we do not have all of your payment, paperwork or credit card information for the items to be shipped by the 10th business day after the auction you could be jeopardizing your ability to qualify for a refund. Shipments can take 1-2 weeks from the time we receive the entirety of your required payment and paperwork to process and ship due to the volume of clientele that we are processing after the auction. We are not responsible for any liability with the descriptions if we have not received everything that we need to complete the transaction in time for the items to be shipped to you. NO PARTIAL REFUNDS.

1B. FOR LIVE BIDDERS: It is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. Also, please check to make sure all components to your lots are there. All possibility of a refund is null and void once you have left our facility with the item(s).

2. WE AT POULIN ANTIQUES & AUCTIONS, INC. WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOUR BIDDING EXPERIENCE AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE: Whether you are bidding live, absentee or by phone, we ask that before you bid in any manner that you satisfy all your questions, so that you may feel confident in placing your bids with us. All the items we offer have been pre-owned, loved, handled and used. Keeping this in mind, we suggest you call us with your inquiries. Please call prior to the first day of the auction, at least 48 hours or sooner, to get any questions and/or damage reports available on the items that interest you.

3. THE AUCTIONEER IS THE SOLE DETERMINANT AS TO WHO IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER: At the Auctioneer’s discretion he may re-offer and resell the article if a dispute arises. Auctioneer’s sale recording shall be conclusive as to who was the successful purchaser and the purchase price. If there is no apparent interest in an item (1/3 of catalog low estimate) or an appreciable opening bid, (when no catalog is printed), the item will be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and will not be re-offered again until possibly a later date.

4. 5.5% SALES TAX must be charged to all successful bidders.

* Maine residents who do not present a valid ANNUAL RESALE CERTIFICATE at the time of registration will have to pay the 5.5% sales tax. NO EXCEPTIONS.

* Under Maine law, items to be shipped within Maine will have the tax applied.

* If you reside in the state of Maine, but maintain an out of state tax number, you must pay sales tax. This is Maine law.

* Out of State residents. If you are not a Maine resident, we require a copy of your resale certificate. Due to the recent Supreme Court ruling, items shipped to some out of state residents may be charged sales tax, if your state requires our company to collect the recipient’s state sales tax.

5. BUYERS PREMIUM OF 17.5% will be applied to all property sold to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price and is therefore subject to applicable state sales tax.

1. A 3.5% Credit Card processing fee is applicable should you decide to pay by credit card.

5A. PROXIBID, INVALUABLE, AUCTION ZIP, ICOLLECTOR & LIVEAUCTIONEER BIDDERS: These are internet bidding services that are provided by separate companies that hosts our auctions live. They charge us a significant fee to upload to their platforms. They charge 3% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This amount is added into your Buyers Premium on your invoice.

6. RESERVES: Occasionally an item may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore the auctioneer retains the right to bid on behalf of the owner. We will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you inquire.

6A. AUCTION STAFF MAY BID COMPETITIVELY ON ITEM OFFERED FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES.

7. NAMES OF CONSIGNORS ARE CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL and will not be given out unless we have prior approval from the consignor to do so or if the auctioneer deems necessary.

8. PAYMENT: All items are to be paid for in United States American Funds. We accept Cash, pre-approved checks, Visa, MC, American Express, Discover & wire transfers. All items must be paid for in full before being removed from our facility.

* Checks are to be pre-approved by auctioneer prior to the auction (at least 2 business days before auction, NOT the day of the auction). A letter of reference from your bank is recommended to those who have never done business with us before. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by checks that have not been pre-approved until we can see that the check has cleared the bank. It is our policy to hold merchandise on all first time buyers, due to our bank’s recommendation of 10 days, until the check has cleared the bank. (This enables the check to clear the bank and if it does not, then it gives them the time to notify us via mail).

* There will be a $25 fee charged for all returned checks.

* Third party checks are not accepted.

Note: Delay in payment, means delay in shipment to you. Delay in shipment to you could mean you lose all possibility of a return, so please make a prompt payment. The speediest forms of payments are credit cards or bank checks. Personal or Business checks from first time buyers will hold the shipment up for 10 business days until checks have cleared the bank. This could jeopardize the warranties of the descriptions if the shipment exceeds 18 business days.

9. OUT OF COUNTRY BUYERS:

9A. Payment must be in the form of either Wire transfers or Checks (made out in United States funds). Credit cards are only accepted for the shipping process. All fees associated with the use of a wire transfer are the responsibility of the purchaser. This includes the $25 fee that Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. is charged by their bank for the international wire transfer.

9B. All firearms (this includes all antiques, curios or modern firearms), plus edged weapons and any item that has a portion of an animal (ivory, etc..) must go through either an exporter or another FFL dealer that supplies this service. We, Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc., will not ship any of these items out of the country without the use of an exporter.

Please be sure that you have any gun properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith before attempting to fire.

* We accept bids from International Countries, with the exception of sanctioned Countries.

* We accept Absentee & Phone bids with the condition that bids are written clearly and that a lot number & brief description of each lot is written out. (i.e. : Lot 101 – Colt Woodsman Revolver – $850.00). It is necessary that this format is followed to be sure that we can check for accidental errors that are made by the absentee bidders with an incorrectly written lot number resulting in the purchase or bidding on an incorrect lot. PLEASE NOTE: IF A BIDDER MISIDENTIFIES A LOT NUMBER OR ITEM THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON RESULTING IN THE PURCHASE OF THE LOT(S)

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

Please Read Updated 2/23

* Absentee and Phone bidders must review their bids for correctness prior to submitting their bid(s). If you supply an email address, when the bids are processed here, you will then be sent a copy of your processed bids. Please review this and determine if any corrections should be made. Notify us immediately with any corrections or changes you may have. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. will not be responsible for errors in absentee bids.

* If you do not receive confirmation by email/phone within 24 hours of submitting your bids please, contact our office. We would hate to have you miss your items because we did not receive your bids.

By placing absentee bids, phone bids, internet bids or registering for live bidding in person, you are authorizing Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. to charge the card provided for any purchases made and any fees that are associated with the purchase including but not limited to shipping, handling, insurance & storage.

Disclaimer: Any advice or opinions provided by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warranty of condition, authenticity, age, attribution or description of said property.

14A. ABSENTEE BIDDING:

* Absentee bids must be in by the start of the auction. Please try to get them in at least by 5:00 PM EST the day prior to auction. If you wait and place your bids just moments prior to the start of the auction we do not guarantee that your bids will get placed.

* We do not accept +1 bids.

* We accept bids that end in 0 or 5 only. Bids that are placed in amounts such as $501.00 or $500.01 will be lowered to the closest amount ending in 0 or 5. We will never raise a bid higher without permission from the bidder.* Bid advances are taken at the discretion of the auctioneer. Miniscule advances will not be accepted and will be rounded down. Typical advances are 5-10% of the current bid level.

* A staff member will competitively bid for the absentee bidder. We let the audience start the bidding unless there is more than one bid at the book. If there is more than one bid then the bidding will be started above the under bidders. Example: We have a bid for $1500 and one at $3000. The bidding will then start at $1600 and will then be bid competitively to the limit the absentee bidder set. For this reason it is possible that an absentee bidder may get their item for much less than what they bid. In the case of two bids being the same amount the bidding will start at that amount and the winner shall be the person who left the bid first.

* Please note: Being the first ABSENTEE BIDDER does not guarantee that you will be the winning bidder if the floor, phone or internet bidding ties during the live auction. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. The date and time that you submit a bid only determines the winning bidder between two absentee bidders with the same amount participating through the same method or platform.

* We do our best to execute all bids correctly however, errors are made at times. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute a bid, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.

* All left bids are considered confidential, and as such the names of the absentee bidders and the bid amounts will not be given out.

* Please call prior (at least 48 hours) to the 1st day of the auction to get any information or inquiry reports pertaining to the items.

* We will not accept a bid that does not have an amount associated with it. We have had people on occasion tell us to buy the lot for them no matter what it goes for. We suggest that you place a bid substantially higher than the estimate and what you would be comfortable in paying for it. We do not want to be responsible for your personal choice of amount.

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

*Phone bidding is allowed, when available, only under pre-arranged conditions determined by and discussed with the auctioneer prior to the auction.

* All requests for phone bidding should be made before 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone schedule.

* After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

* All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder.

* We reserve the right to reject bids on items that we feel may be too difficult to explain by phone.

* To be a Phone Bidder you must be willing to start an item for 1/2 of the low catalog estimate or $100.00, whichever is the greater.

* Please note: The employee calling you may be calling from a personal cell phone not belonging to Poulins. Because of this it may not show on your caller ID as Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. Please do not attempt to contact the telephone line that has contacted you for phone bidding services, they will not answer. If you have any questions during and after the auction, please contact 207-453-2114 to reach an office staff member.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

Please Read Updated 2/23

* Also Please Note: Please call in advance (at least 48 hours) of the auction if you need conditions or descriptions of the items. Staff members who are calling to handle your phone bids will not be able to answer questions pertaining to condition or description during the auction.

* The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as not to miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE

DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING

THIS

TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT

MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that takes place can and has interfered with customers bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.

* If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints.

* Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank you for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answers to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.

* Cover Me Bids: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another to get through to the client on the telephone. A “Cover Me Bid” is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.

* Stop Point Bids: A staff member will contact you within 3-5 items prior to the item that you are interested in bidding on. We ask that you consider a “Stop Point”. This is a designated amount you wish the staff member to bid up to on this item for you. Because of the noise level that occurs during an auction, this creates less confusion on the phones for us and our customers. Once they reach this “Stop Point” amount they will then query you for the next desired amount that the auctioneer is asking for. You can then bid higher or stop if you so desire.

15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid.com, Liveauctioneers. com and iCollector. These are separate companies that are not owned by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc.

* You must submit a credit card with them when signing up to bid. These card numbers are not supplied to us. You will have to contact our office if successful and submit your credit card information to us.

* These are bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live. They charge 3% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.

* Review all lots that interest you at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Sometimes we find a “change” in condition or listing. We cannot notify each person individually, so what we do is remove the photo and place a statement “No bids accepted online. Please call office to place bids.”

* Please Note: These online platforms tell you when you are the highest absentee bidder. This is only within their platform. AuctionZip, Invaluable, Proxibid, Live Auctioneers & iCollector do not share bid information and so they do not compare your bids with each other or with bids that we have taken in. If they tell you that you are the highest bidder that is only within their platform, not others.

* IMPORTANT: ALL LIVE INTERNET BIDDERS MUST READ THIS DISCLAIMER: Live internet bidding is a fast paced process and can be very fun. However, problems can arise during the process that can result in a purchase or bid being accidently enacted by the buyer or some entity. This could be that your internet/computer speed or a lag in the connection may cause your computer to slow down and then all of a sudden the computer may catch back up, causing the bidding to “jump” to a level that you are unprepared to bid. It could also be that your cat, dog, 2 year old or Martians from a far distant planet in a galaxy far, far away enacted a bid that you were not prepared to place. No matter the reason that may come up it is the responsibility of the bidder to pay for the purchase regardless of the reason. The bidder must log in with their personal log information and in doing so understands the risks that they are taking by participating in live internet bidding and agrees to pay for any and all purchases. Any bids placed by your identity are your responsibility.

* If you place absentee bids on these platforms do not ask us to change or void these bids. We do not have control of your accounts within these platforms and so do not have control of your bids. You must change them yourself within your account. If you are having difficulty with this process please contact the platforms that you are participating with for assistance. Most platforms require all changes to be done within 48 hours in advance of the auction start. Check your platform to make sure of the time frame and how to make changes when necessary.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

16. NOTIFICATION OF SUCCESS: Only successful bidders are contacted. To expedite the process we ask that you fill out and send in the “Payment & Shipping” Forms as well as the copy of the FFL or C&R that you intend to use along with your bid sheets. If you are paying by Credit Card for your purchase, please make sure you check the appropriate box for this or remark somewhere on your bid sheet that we are to charge your card for purchases as well as your shipment. If you have done this and included all your paperwork for your items, then your invoice will go right to shipping and be at the “TOP” of the shipping list. Otherwise successful bidders will be notified in one of the following manners:

A. EMAIL: If an email address is provided we will email your invoice along with the shipping and payment forms for you to fill in. These will be sent to all successful bidders even if you have already supplied it with your bids. We apologize, but the computer program does not distinguish between who has supplied the necessary information and who has not.

B. FAX: If you do not have email, we can fax your invoice along with the shipping and payment forms for you to fill in.

C. US MAIL: If you do not have email or fax machine, then an invoice will be mailed to the address you provided. This makes for a slow transaction which can lead to an expiration of any possible guarantee on the items you purchase.

Class III Policy Please Read

Collecting Class III Weapons can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. In the United States, many but not all citizens of the U.S. have the right to purchase and own machine guns. This is true in most states of the United States, but not all states. It is your specific responsibility to determine your right to own and possess a Class III weapon before you bid on it. Once you have bid on a lot and won it, you are responsible for payment of that lot, regardless of whether you can own it or not. If you have purchased a lot and later find out that because of the state you live in or for other reasons that you cannot personally own it yourself, you will still be required to pay for the object and we will obviously have to sell it for you again at a future sale.

First and foremost, All NFA Rules Apply. All Class III firearms must be registered and properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. Class III Firearms we may be dealing with include the following: Machine Guns (MG), (Transferable, Pre-86 Dealer Samples and Post-86 Dealer Samples), Silencers, Destructive Devices (DD), Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS) and Any Other Weapon (A.O.W.). If you are an individual who resides in an area where these firearms are legal, you may bid on these items. You are responsible for knowing your State and Local laws.

In order to complete the purchase of a Class III Firearm to a non-licensed individual, you will need the following:

• 2 passport photos

• 2 sets of fingerprints

• 1 ATF Form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance and the appropriate BATFE Form completed in duplicate including the signature of your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. will supply all the proper forms upon acceptance of your winning bid.

If there are any State or local forms required you will be responsible for obtaining these.

Regardless of the specific type of Class III Firearm, completing the transfer to an individual usually takes approximately 90-300 days from the time they receive the completed paperwork. Transfer to a licensed dealer (FFL/SOT) is usually approximately 60-90 days. If you are a non-licensed individual the BATFE transfer fee for all NFA firearms (Machine Gun, Destructive Device, Silencer, Short Barreled Rifle, and Short Barreled Shotgun) is $200.00 with the exception of those narrowly classified as Any Other Weapon (AOW) which has a transfer fee of $5.00. AOWs may include pen-guns, cane guns, and certain pistols with vertical front pistol grips. These fees must be paid to Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. before any transfer paperwork can be submitted to BATFE as well as any other outstanding balances related to your Class III firearm purchase.

Please look into your own particular state law ahead of time when contemplating a bid. For more specific ownership information on NFA firearms, please visit the website of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives directly at www.atf.gov. If you are an individual (Non FFL/SOT) and reside in the State of Maine, we can transfer the firearms to you directly on an approved BATF Form 4 (subject to above rules) if you are the winning bidder. If you are an individual who resides in another State we will need to transfer the Class III firearm to a Class III Dealer in your State to complete the transfer with you. Please understand that there is usually an additional fee from this third party for them to handle your transfer.

Remember, it is your responsibility, prior to the purchase, to make certain that you may legally purchase and possess a Class III gun or item.

John William “Bill” Gallup (1935-2023)

John William “Bill” Gallup was born in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada. His interest in collecting was stimulated when he was only a young boy of 6 years old. While living in Canada, during WWII, his mother would take him to the Royal Canadian Airforce training ground so he could see the soldiers marching. Bill was so enthralled; he had his own uniform and would march with the soldiers! Later, in high school, Bill joined the Naval Reserve. As such, he was required to spend a few weeks each summer at the Naval post. He was no longer the little lad gazing upon the brave soldiers marching in unison; he WAS one of the brave soldiers.

When Bill realized that his dream of pitching for the New York Yankees was not going to materialize, he enrolled at Creighton Law School where he found his true love ~ the law. Upon his graduation, Bill was an assistant city prosecutor, deputy county attorney and an assistant United States attorney before he entered private practice. Bill was later invited to john the American Board of Criminal Lawyers, and served as President of this board as well.

client, especially when a gun was presented into evidence. It looked very familiar to him and in fact, he exclaimed “That’s my gun”. It had been stolen from his office which he later retrieved from the police station. Although he was an avid collector of many things, he never shot his firearms; rather he just enjoyed owning them.

Bill collected artworks, cars, enjoyed museums, baseball and reading. He followed the careers of General MacArthur and General Patton. After he became a lawyer, he was known for quoting them while presenting his final arguments. He passionately lived his profession however his love for his family, the United States, and the military could not be denied. Bill firmly believed the words of MacArthur, “Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”

Fred Inganamort

Fred Inganamort was born with a love of firearms. Surrounded by hunters and sportsman since childhood, he received his first firearm when he was just eleven years old from his father, a 1964 Ruger 10/22. Shortly thereafter, he took his first hunting trip to Maine with his grandfather, father and uncle. From then on, hunting and the outdoors were his passions. Throughout his life, Fred traveled North America on numerous hunting expeditions with family and friends, making cherished memories along the way.

In addition to firearms for hunting, Fred also enjoyed skeet shooting and sporting clays. His collection is the cumulation of a lifelong appreciation of the craftsmanship and history of firearms, ranging from the familiar to the obscure, the modern to the antique, and everything in between. Each firearm in the collection has its own story.

Over the last decade, Fred regularly participated in Cowboy Action Shooting where he was known as, “Kid Harrison”. He was an active member of three SASS clubs in Florida: the Gold Coast Gunslingers, the Okeechobee Marshals and the OK Corral Outlaws. To his friends, family and fellow club members, Fred was known for not only being a kind and generous man, but also an excellent shot, a great teacher, and a wealth of knowledge about firearms, rivaling even historians.

Most importantly, Fred was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, and grandfather. He will be dearly missed. His legacy lives on not only in this most unique, exquisite and story-filled collection, but also in the passion and exuberance in which he lived his life. COLLECTION

John Hartman Persing

Dr. John H. Persing grew up in Watsontown, Pennsylvania, just a stones’ throw from the banks of the west branch of the Susquehanna River. It was along this riparian valley that, as a boy, John would spend countless hours looking for arrowheads and other discarded artifacts left behind by the Susquehannock people who lived along the river corridor hundreds of years prior. These early direct experiences with the physical remnants of human history ignited a lifelong passion for antique restoration and collection.

As a teenager, John’s interest shifted to automobiles, particularly Model A Fords and early V-8s. A “Ford man” throughout his life, his first restoration was a 1930 Model A Ford that remained his pride and joy throughout his life. It was the one antique car that he continued to drive until his death in 2020. His car restoration and collection would include early brass model T Fords, a first year production incoln Continental, and 50’s classics including a 1958 Thunderbird and a hot pink 1955 Sunliner. “Always collect convertibles” he would say, “they hold their value and are just better to look at.” His car collection was arguably one of the finest in the region.

After serving in the Air Force as a medical officer during the waning years of the Vietnam War, he returned to Pennsylvania with his young family to start a 46 year medical practice in Lewisburg, Pa. In addition to his growing car collection, Dr. Persing became interested in collecting the intricately decorated furniture of the MahantongoValley of south central Pennsylvania. These German-Pennsylvanian artisans created beautifullycrafted corner cupboards and blanket chests featuring a colorful array of tulips, birds, and flowers during the early decades of the 19th century.

During the last quarter century of his life, Dr. Persing pivoted his eye once again to the craftsmanship of Pennsylvania long rifles of the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. He collected both flintlock and early percussion rifles from that era and was particularly focused on locating and obtaining rifles from gunsmiths of the region where he lived (i.e. Union, Snyder, Montour, and Columbia counties). The collection represented here comprises over 150 rifles, most in pristine and original condition. Throughout his life, Dr. Persing maintained a deep sense of place and connection to the history and people of the Susquehanna Valley. This collection is a pure manifestation of that sensibility.

He received board directorships that have involved top-level decision making and performance strategies to upstream and downstream companies.

When asked if there was a particular item that ignited his passion for collecting, James easily responds “I inherited my great-grandfather’s Officer’s sword.” His great grandfather was part of the 143rd Pennsylvania Vol. Infantry and fought during a number of battles including the Battle of Gettysburg. Throughout his entire collection, never has there been another item that has meant more to him than this sword.

James is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the American Society of Arms Collectors and various other Arms Collector groups. His other interests include Native American antique art, textiles, pottery and baskets. He also maintains an extensive collection of Spanish Colonial arms and accoutrements.

Poulin Firearms is extremely proud to have the opportunity to bring this remarkable collection to auction. Included in this offering, comprised of over 130 lots, are some rare, scarce, and historic examples that we know you will find as exciting as we do.

The Lifelong Collection of Glen E. Mattox

Glen Earl Mattox, Jr., was born May 3, 1944 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, the son of Glen and Chloe Mattox. He passed away August 5, 2022 in Missoula, Montana at the age of 78.

After graduating from Kellogg High School in 1962, Glen joined the Army. After serving his Country for six years, he attended North Idaho College. After that, he worked for the telephone company, and was then employed by the Forest Service. In 1980, he married Hanh Nguyen.

Glen’s introduction to the gun world began at the young age of 15 when he was caught sneaking into his first gun show in Coeur d’Alene, ID. From that moment, he was hooked, and this quickly became a passion that would last his entire lifetime.

Glen loved wheelin’ & dealin’ and stories were told both by Glen as well as those who knew him. Glen always claimed that he borrowed $75 to buy his first gun which he swore he sold for $150. There are also eye-witness accounts of Glen selling a Gatling gun across the aisle for a 25% profit BEFORE he had purchased the gun from the other side of the aisle.

Glen was a long-time resident and business owner in Post Falls, Idaho. His passion for collecting drove him to create his Antique Gun Shoppe in 1974. He literally started it with nothing, and then gradually morphed it into more of a museum than a shop. Glen enjoyed putting the time and effort into what he loved and, from his hard work on the Gun Show circuit, he earned national recognition as an expert in Antique Arms, Military and Native American Artifacts. As such, Glen was ultimately cited by dozens of published resources in these fields.

Glen’s enthusiasm and knowledge in the field of collecting led him to become a member of many organizations including:

• Washington Arms Collectors Association, Life Member

• Oregon Arms Collectors Assoc.

• Texas Gun Collectors Association

• Colorado Arms Collectors Association

• Antique Bowie Knife Collectors Association

• Ohio Valley Military Society

• National Rifle Association

• Montana Arms Collectors Association

• Dakota Territory Gun Collectors Association

• Weapons Collectors Society of Montana, Charter Life Member

Those who knew Glen, knew he lived life to the fullest, and he lived the life he chose. While traveling to a gun show, he “died with his boots on,” doing what he loved, and at the end, he was surrounded by his loved ones. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

We are all temporary custodians of the relics and items we collect, covet, and surround ourselves with in our collections. We hope that these items from Glen’s collection find the next best caretakers to carry-on through time as this is surely what Glen would have wanted.

by

and was developed from the Volcanic lever action

The Henry was a fundamental advancement in firepower during the Civil War. It allowed 15 consecutive shots to be fired before requiring a reload. This advanced armament was devastating to opposing Infantry troops armed with single shot percussion muskets. The Federal Government purchased 1,731 Henry rifles between 1862 & 1865. Nearly all rifles between the serial numbers 3000 & 4200 were issued to the 1st District of Columbia Cavalry regiments. Over 200 of the DC Cavalry Henry rifles were captured in September of 1864 during the infamous “Beefsteak Raid” by forces under the command of Confederate Major General Wade Hampton. These rifles saw subsequent issue to the 7th, 11th & 35th Virginia Cavalry. The unusual markings of the number “17” on the rear left side of the barrel and in the front left of the frame, coupled with the carved “A” at the left wrist, may indicate use and inventory by Confederate forces. This particular rifle has an octagonal barrel with a front sight and a 900 yard rear sight. The loading tube below holds 15 rounds of 44 caliber rim fire ammunition. The top of the barrel is marked “HENRY’S PATENT. OCT. 16, 1860 MANUFACT’D BY THE NEWHAVEN ARMS. CO. NEWHAVEN, CT.”. Between the rear sight and the frame the serial number “3071” can easily be seen. The right flat of the barrel bears the clear inspector’s mark “C.G.C.” for Charles G. Chapman. Under the Chapman mark is the sub-inspection letter “H”. The brass frame has another small “H” stamped approx. 3/8” back from

the barrel just below the curve. Serial number “3071” may also be seen on the lower receiver tang that is concealed by the buttstock. All screws on the frame are original. The brass buttplate has a clear “H” stamped on the rightside top near the bend. The buttplate is also serial numbered on the inside “3071”, and the cleaning rod door is present, but there is no rod within the stock. The oil stained walnut stock has an “A” carved into the wood just below the frame tang. As stated above, it is important to note that the atypical marks of “17” at the rear of the barrel and in front of the frame, combined with the “A” carved into the stock, may indicate capture & reissue to Confederate Virginia Cavalry. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a looseleaf binder containing information about Henry rifles in general, this particular Henry, and the 1st District of Columbia Cavalry. There is also information relating to the “Beefsteak Raid” orchestrated by Confederate General Wade Hampton. And a copy of the book “Spies, Traitors & Conspirators” by General Lafayette C. Baker with detailed information about the “Beefsteak Raid”. CONDITION: all iron parts have a pleasing dark patina with ample vestiges of the blued finish remaining. The brass frame & buttplate have a very attractive mellow patina. The cleaning rod cover in the buttplate is tight and functions freely. The stock has 2 tight, short cracks behind the receiver, as commonly seen. As expected, the barrel, frame & stock have numerous superficial bumps, scrapes & abrasions. However, the condition of this historic Henry rifle can be considered outstanding in comparison to most martially marked Henrys and particularly those associated with the 1st District of Columbia Cavalry. The mechanics operate correctly & smoothly with no observable problems. The bore shows use, but retains strong rifling. (01-23202/BF). $30,000-40,000.

4016. REMARKABLE WINCHESTER 1873 1 OF 1000 UPGRADE LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 44 WCF. S# 28038. Possibly the finest 1 of 1000 copy ever built. This rifle deceived firearms experts, authors and collectors for decades. The quality of the alterations are so convincing that this rifle is pictured as original in “Winchester Golden Age of American Gunmaking and the Winchester 1 of 1000” by R. L. Wilson. The unscrupulous unknown builder started with a very fine case colored first model 1873 with set trigger, a very valuable rifle in its own right. He then altered the S#, added engraving, inscriptions & checkering to match the features of a real 1 of 1000 rifle. The style and quality of the engraving and inscription very closely match Winchester’s work. Under close inspection variances in the last 3 digits of the S# can be seen. This rifle was first documented and exposed as altered in 2011. The real 1 of 1000 bearing this S# is in a known collection. Barrel 24” octagon with sporting barrel sights & Vernier tang sights. Breech and muzzle ends of barrel have added engraving. Top flat has added “One of One Thousand” inscription. Case colored first model action with mortised thumb print dust cover and single set trigger. Fancy walnut forearm and straight grip stock with trap door crescent steel buttplate. Deluxe pattern hand checkering is believed to have been added. Modern sling on original swivels. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 2 posters promoting the Universal-International film “Winchester ‘73” starring James Stuart & Shelly Winters. This famous movie is credited with starting the Winchester collector’s craze by doing a search for the remaining 1 of 1000 Model 73s. (1) Pictures Jimmy Stuart raising the Winchester ‘73 to his shoulder above a banner surrounded by cavalry, indians, stagecoach scenes and outlaws with Shelly Winters in the lower left corner. Bottom border has 1950 Universal Pictures Co copyright with “40084” followed by “50-408”. Image size is 39” by 24 1/2”. Frame size is 46 1/4” by 32” in an ornate hardwood frame with green matted borders. Condition is so clean & bright that it suggests a quality reproduction. (2) Depicts Jimmy Stuart hugging Shelly Winters while holding the 1 of 1000 rifle in his left hand. Upper left corner has a Delta Films S.A. trademark. Bottom edge has Spanish language markings with “V-11001964”. Image size is 38 1/2” by 25 7/8”. Framed size is 46” by 33 1/2” over an ornate hardwood frame and green matted borders. Poster is in very good condition showing some age related fading and yellowing. CONDITION: fine as altered. Barrel and mag. tube retain 70% lightly faded blue showing edge wear. Action and buttplate have over 50% dark fading case colors. Wood shows finish wear with scattered scratches, marks and grain checks. Hammer stops at half cock position when rifle is cycled with the trigger set. Bright bore retains strong rifling. (01-21713/DS). ANTIQUE. $20,000-30,000.

UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum Factory Letter which confirms this rifle in Cal. 22 Cal with Round Bbl-Matted, Plain Trigger, Checkered Stock, Pistol Grip, Case Hardened, Sights Per Order. Received in warehouse February 21,1885 and shipped the same day. No order number is given. Also accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum Letter and corresponding data compilation table from Research Specialist Jessica Bennett documenting her extended research into the unique nature of SN 173891. It was forensically determined that this configuration is unique within production between SN 150001-225000 (the approx. 1873 Takedown Rimfire SN range). Whereas there are six recorded 22 Cal rifles with matted barrels, there are no other round barrel configurations of Model 1873s ordered in this serial range, making this a One-of-a-Kind example! CONDITION: very fine. Frame, hammer, lever and nose cap retain about 75% fine original case colors balanced with mottled gray patina and scattered areas of very light pitting from handling. Takedown pin is intact and remains unaltered. Bbl and magazine tube retain 70% original thinning blue blending with patina and scattered oxidation spots and crisp caliber marking. Barrel address is properly obscured by crisp matting which retains its sharp saddle cut edges. Buttplate retains about 50% of its muted colors with light pitting.

Heavy duty circular name plate with the original Gatling nomenclature, directly behind the feed mechanism that reads “GATLING’S BATTERY GUN / PAT. NOV 4. 1862 / MAY 9. 1865 / FEB 28. 1871 / APR 9. 1872 / MADE BY COLT’S PT. FIRE ARMS / MFG CO / HARTFORD, CONN.

Carriage is sufficient for display while w/ some structural strengthening could make a fantastic live fire mount. Bores vary slightly in condition though all retain descent rifling and most are quite bright. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (20-459/JZ).

He was appointed Abilene’s first marshal in June 1870. Years later Dwight D Eisenhower whose hometown was Abilene wrote of his reputation as the “No Gun Marshall”. Saying he “subdued lawlessness by the force of his personality and his tremendous capability as an athlete”. Thomas Smith was murdered by treachery November 2, 1870.

James D. Julia Joins Poulin Auction Company

“The Tradition Continues”

greatly.

Nick Poulin, head of well-known Poulin’s Firearms Company, recently announced a special collaboration with world renowned antiques dealer, James D. Julia. Nick explained, “In the mid-1960s, my grandfather; Jim’s father, Arthur Julia, together with his wife started a small antiques shop and eventually a successful auction house. In the 1970s, Jim bought the auction business from Arthur and grew it into a world-renowned company. My parents, Steve Poulin and Jeannine Poulin, also transitioned into auctioneers and we conducted auctions literally next door to Jim for many years. When Jim sold his company in 2017, it allowed the Poulin Company an extraordinary opportunity for growth. We knew Jim’s absence from the market gave us a tremendous opportunity to grow. Over these past few years, we have grown exponentially. Last year, based on annual sales, our company generated $20 million dollars in sales making us the second largest firearms auction house in the world but of equal importance, we

sales in virtually every type of antiques you can think of. He has a panoramic knowledge of the antiques world and tremendous experience. Three-generations of marketing expertise and nearly $1 BILLION in combined total sales by the Poulin & Julia Family benefits both the buyers and sellers alike, ensuring the sellers get the maximum return for their goods and the buyers can trust the descriptions to be accurate and honest.

Jim and I have 2 goals:

1.) Help us to continue to grow our Firearms Division to take it from #2 to #1 in the world.

POULIN’S ANTIQUE DIVISION

2.Fees:My dad taught us all that there are essentially two ways to be successful in the world. One way is to charge high exorbitant prices and look out only for yourself, the other is treat your customers, both buyers and sellers, honestly and give them a good deal. Be willing to work for a fair and reasonable amount of money. (Poulin’s unquestionably offers some of the best terms in the firearms world today)

3. Results: It makes no difference what anyone charges or how honest they are, they must also produce the results. Poulin’s has certainly proven that they can produce tremendous results. Their sales have consistently grown with very strong prices including numerous world records.

I will be working with Nick to reestablish their antiques auction division and build it into one of the major ones in North America. Our summer inaugural sale will be an exciting event and already includes an array of quality items.

established a number of new world records. Jim can now re-enter the auction marketplace and met with me to discuss how we could work together. Now, with the continuation of the family name involved with the auction industry, I frequently say, “the tradition continues”.

During Jim’s tenure in the antiques world, he has been involved in over $700 million dollars’ worth of

2.) Utilize Jim’s vast knowledge to help us build a new additional division dealing in all antiques. Going forward we will have two divisions: 1.) Specializing in Firearms, 2.) Specializing in quality antiques.

Jim Julia’s comments about the new association were, “I love the antiques and auction business and have been incredibly impressed with what Nick has done with Firearms. For years our firms conducted business in a similar form reflecting Arthur’s tutelage. Some of the many things that are important to me and the Poulin’s Auction Company are:

1 Reputation: During my lifetime, I have maintained a sterling reputation of honesty and fair dealings and that is exactly what Poulin’s is based on. I admire that

We are interested in all types of quality items including Folk Art, Early furniture, high end Victorian, all types of quality Chinese items, decoys, historical items, jewelry, fine Tiffany lamps and glassware, rare toys and advertising items, important coin-op items, petroleum advertising, etc.

As always, we will be offering one of the best auction experiences in the market which will include 0 % on any items of high value. I look forward with great enthusiasm to working once again with old friends and new as we go forward.”
