In Loving Memory of Hall of Fame Auctioneer

Arthur & Lilla Julia

Consignments Being Accepted For Our Fall 2022 Premier Firearms Auction

Seller’s Commission on Expensive Items and Valuable Collections

consign now to take advantage of our aggressive marketing campaign

The Tradition Continues New Facility Same Family & Great Location

Former Auction Facility of World Renowned Hall of Fame Auctioneer James Julia We are pleased to announce the purchase of our neighboring auction facility. This acquisition will give us one of the largest firearms auction compounds in the industry with nearly 50,000 square feet of climate controlled and secured space dedicated to the promotion, presentation and efficient handling of fine firearms collections.

Our new facility features a spacious gallery and auction auditorium that was designed for an aesthetically pleasing presentation with modern, state-of-the-art auction amenities..

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 Arthur & Lilla Julia companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another Founders 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.

Jeannine & Stephen Poulin

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.

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. Our buyer’s premium of 15% has not fluctuated despite the trends in the industry reaching a 20-25% base buyer’s premium.

Nick Poulin President

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

NOTES

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read 1.

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 sales tax certificate or an affidavit (proof of your business, such as business check or card, etc.). 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.

Terms & Conditions

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.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read 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. A 2.5% discount will be given to those paying by Cash, Wire Transfer, Bank check or pre-approved check.

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.

Terms & Conditions

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 the day of the sale. 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. All fees associated with the cost of a wire transfer or bank check are those of the purchaser. * Must have valid driver’s license when paying by charge cards & checks. * 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. A payment by wire transfer or bank check qualifies the purchaser for a 2.5% deduction on their Buyers Premium.

9C. 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.

Terms & Conditions

* 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.

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. * 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.

(207) 453-2114 | info@poulinauctions.com

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read * 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.

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 included in 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.

Terms & Conditions

* 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.

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.

Terms & Conditions

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.

NOTES

Thomas B. Harper Jr.

Tom Harper was a husband, father, schoolteacher, hunter and hunting dog trainer.

Most of his weekends were spent out in the fields of California, the prairie in Canada, and the gun clubs in Colorado. As he got older and less mobile, he turned his love of hunting to collecting guns. He even worked at a gun store for a time to be able to enjoy his hobby even in retirement.

Over the years he accumulated a quite diverse collection of guns. He became more interested with quality, artistry, design and engineering than just functionality. The guns in this collection reflect that.

They were chosen with careful thought and each one was special. These guns reflect his passion for the sport of hunting, shooting and fine guns.

Robert Craig Dowd Robert was born in Pennsylvania and grew up with a love of firearms beginning with his “Davey Crockett” carved wooden gun he acquired when he was just 3 years old. From early on his passion for firearms increased with a main focus on collecting the rare & unusual examples across several genres. Condition was very important as he acquired his collection and he took exceptional care with oiling each firearm & storing them in a climate controlled environment after each trip to the range.

Robert worked at Odin International as the Domestic Sales Mngr. and then with F.A.I.R. Trade (Firearms & Ammunition Import/ Export Rountable) as Executive Director importing firearms into the United States. After his time at F.A.I.R. Trade, Robert then made the move to Savage Firearms as the Director of Marketing. Robert spent his weekends with Izaak Walton, a firearms instructor, helping youth learn the importance of firearm safety and the enjoyment that firearms can bring. Robert had the foresight to know the importance of collecting ammunition amassing an extremely large selection of ammo for each of the calibers he collected.

Poulin’s is pleased to offer the following lots from Robert’s collection. We hope that you find the same enjoyment from his collection as he did.

Richard “Rick” Stumbo (1947 – 2021) Richard “Rick” Stumbo was born on June 14, 1947 and grew up in Ontario, Ohio. He was born to the late Frank and Betty Stumbo who owned and published the local newspaper, The Tribune Courier which is still being published 61 years later.

After high school, in 1966, Rick joined the Marine Corp however he was injured in Vietnam in 1967. He entered the police academy in 1968 and in 1969 he joined the DC Metropolitan Police Department.

After 21 years, Rick retired in 1990. His career continued, working security all over the world but mostly in Saudi Arabia and Algeria. Rick not only collected guns but he brought back relics and stamps from all over the world.

At the age of 11 Rick and his grandfather went to the local hardware store. It was there that Rick put his first rifle, a Stevens 22 caliber rifle, on layaway for the hefty price of $10. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of his collection and the passion that would grow from it for decades to come.

Rick amassed his collection for 62 years creating displays that one would consider museum worthy. His passion drove him to become a dealer, a VGCA member, and as an avid reader/historian he became an advanced collector of military weapons, helmets, uniforms and all types of militaria, which he loved the most.

When he wasn’t working on his collection in “The Bunker” or tending to his 21 acres he enjoyed the company of his family, friends and fellow retired police officers. Rick was reliable, dependable, responsible and the best story teller ever.

Poulin Antiques & Auctions is exceptionally proud to offer the lifelong collection of Richard “Rick” Stumbo. We hope the new owners of Rick’s lifelong collection enjoy them as much as he did.

Dennis Richard Ottaway Dennis Richard Ottaway became interested in history at the early age of five. His mother, Olive Ward-Ottaway, was curator of the Simcoe County Museum in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

The small museum was no more than a three room cement block building. One room in particular, The Militia of Simcoe and Grey Foresters, captured Dennis’ interest. He began reading history books from the children’s department of the local library and later graduated to the adult section.

Young Dennis listened eagerly to the war stories told to him by his grandfather, Joseph Ward. Lance Corporal Ward served in WWI with the 24th Battalion, Victoria Rifles. During WWII he was stationed with the home guard as a Bren gun instructor and was awarded Sergeant stripes. Olive bestowed upon her son, the war medals that her father, Joseph Ward, had earned in WWI and WWII. Joseph’s father, Frederick Ward, also enlisted to go overseas during the First World War. Dennis’ uncle, Wallace Pattenden, served in WWI at Vimy Ridge where he was wounded in action. He also had two other uncles who served during WWII. Private Larry Patterson, served with the Ottawa Glengarry Highlands. Private Arthur Bridges trained in the USA as a paratrooper. He served with the 1st Canadian paratrooper battalion and jumped with the 6th British Airbourne Division into Normandy. Arthur was captured and became a prisoner of war but returned home safely.

Dennis began to collect German military items in 1974. When he thought of the Germans, he could feel the adrenalin racing.

He wanted to know more about the enemy, who were they and what their tactics and strategies were. In order to learn more, he invested heavily in WWI and WWII history and collector books.

Soon he had an impressive library of his own and spent hours researching the battles, the combat leaders and their roles. He studied the collector books with great zeal so that he could learn to differentiate genuine articles from replicas. Over the years his collection and knowledge grew.

The crown jewels of Dennis’ collection are the grouping of awards, documents, medals, paybook, photos & obituary belonging to Kapitan zur see Karl Weniger. These items tell the journey of Kapitan Weniger’s naval career and offer a glimpse into the character of this brave man. He was awarded his country’s highest honor, the Knight’s Cross, as one of only 318 awarded to members of the Navy.

There were over 7,300 Knight’s Crosses awarded to other branches.

The highlight for Dennis was when Bill Shea took time out of his busy schedule to visit him at his home in Canada to view his collection.

Dennis is always excited about sharing his knowledge of the history of the Great Wars with others and is equally excited to learn from other collectors and scholars. His collection is the embodiment of a lifelong passion for military history.

Gary Parietti Gary Parietti started his career as a rare coin and paper money dealer. He rapidly built his reputation and business as being one of the best numismatists in the industry. Having founded Long Island Numismatics he quickly gained a national reputation for being an expert in that field and attained substantial success. He was an avid sportsman loving his hunting and fishing trips to Wyoming and Alaska. As such he had both an admiration and respect for guns in general and he had his favorites for hunting purposes. In the early 80’s he was introduced to Kentucky rifles. Not only did he find them attractive but they were also steeped in history. From the “shot heard ‘round the world” to Davy Crockett, the Kentucky rifle and all their variants played a key role in the building of our nation.

They became a natural extension to rare coins since both are a real representation of the history of our country and both have their respective peculiarities and varieties. Having amassed some 80 examples he moved on to other guns such as flintlock pistols, long guns, percussions and finally Colts with an occasional Winchester thrown in for good measure.

Gary being an avid collector amassed about 500 examples of guns he felt were interesting, unique and historic.

His style is eclectic meaning there is something for everyone that has an interest in firearms. He assembled a nice collection of 1st through 3rd generation Brown Bess muskets as well as many American revolutionary War long guns and pistols and he ended with Civil War and Winchester rifles. Colt percussion pistols were one of his favorite having assembled 40 or so Dragoons, Navy’s and Army’s, many as cased individual or matched sets.

Like the Coin collector he was he had at least one example of every type of firearm from matchlock, wheel lock, flintlock, percussion and cartridge type guns. There is something for everyone in his vast collection of note.

As with his coin & paper money business Gary loved to educate those that were interested in learning about each piece, their place in history, and the impact it made. His thirst for knowledge about a particular piece would lead him to the “who’s who” of the gun world to learn as much as he could so that not only would he be knowledgeable in that chosen item but so that he could impart that same knowledge base to those that were interested in collecting as well. He left us all far too soon and he is greatly missed as a husband, father, sportsman, bow hunter, avid ball player and friend. After his family and friends, his most prized possessions were those hard fought trophies he and his teammates received for a season of winning ball followed by his guns, and presidential document collections.

Although some of his most favorite pieces are being retained by his family members as a tribute to his love of collecting, the bulk of his collection will be available for auction starting with the current one listed in this catalogue. Gary enjoyed discussing, teaching about, and collecting these historic pieces and was very passionate about this hobby. It is our hope that you, the gun enthusiast, will appreciate his efforts and strive to attain a representative piece for your collection as well.

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 Lincoln 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 Mahantongo Valley 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.

Paul Régnier I present myself as a collector specializing in early automatic weapons and also in the Luger Mauser and Bergmann. This is a passion that has lasted me for forty years.

I arrived in Switzerland in 1986, which allowed me to find a large number of prototype and experimental pistols, including the super rare Borchardt Luger from the Swiss tests of 1898/1899.

Passionate about the subject for a long time I was able, from this time, to establish a thesis on the birth and transformation of the Borchardt into Borchardt Luger using research from Bern’s archives and patent studies.

Before me many authors have attempted to unravel this mystery and have long believed in a transitional model. I published this Thesis first faith in 1993 in the catalog of the Neuchâtel Arms Exchange in Switzerland and on my website www.luger-genesis.com.

In 1993 this article was not protected by a copyright, many authors seized it and those who quoted me in their texts state: “To date, only two pistols from the Swiss tests have survived No 5 and No 6.”

“The Borchardt Luger No 6 is therefore the rarest Luger in the world.”

Paul Régnier Luger Genesis pistol

Paul has researched and written several articles on the genre; on the Bergmann and Le Francais for La Gazette des arms in 1981/1982 as well as for the Swiss Arms Fair Bulletin in 1993. He has specialized particularly in the early years of the Luger automatics, and the Swiss trials that occurred between 1898 & 1899. Poulin Auctions is very proud to present a selection of Paul’s collection in this upcoming auction.

James B. Taylor James B. Taylor was born in Harrisburg, PA on April 12, 1938. James married his love, Sarah Williams Taylor, 63 years ago and together they have been blessed with two adult children, Dale Taylor and Karen Taylor de Caballero along with twin grandchildren age 13.

James earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology, University of Redlands, California; a Master of Arts in Geology, as well as an Executive MBA Program, both from the University of California at Los Angeles. His extensive career spans over four decades of technical and executive management in world-wide exploration, development and production of oil and gas, concentrated in Latin America, Southeast Asia, The Middle East and Russia/CIS. 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.

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.

Maine Veterans Project The Maine Veterans Project (MVP) was founded in July 2015 as a 100% volunteer, veteran-founded, veteran-managed suicide prevention organization serving veterans right here in Maine.

MVP takes great pride in our ability to produce at the level of a larger corporate entity while maintaining our grass-roots foundation to ensure every dollar goes directly to programs and services. Through partnerships with incredible Maine companies and the outstanding generosity of our many

supporters, MVP embodies the team effort that goes into such an important cause. Through this team effort we are able to help with home improvement projects from small to large, provide reliable transportation through our vehicle donation program, provide thousands of gallons of home heating fuel through our partnership with RH Foster and an array of life-essential services available to Maine veterans. We are constantly meeting to improve current programs and establish new services where there is need.

We are focusing on making 2022 better than ever. With the current challenges facing our communities we are gearing up to produce more for Maine veterans when they need it most. Through the creation of a

recreation-based program and the need to fuel our current programs, we need your help more than ever before. Your contribution will go directly toward our programs and services as well as the future development of innovative programs to meet evolving needs.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1003. EXEMPLARY UNDERFOLDER POLYTECH AKS223 MG. Cal. 223. S# PF85000408. Bbl. 16”. The ultimate in 1980s gun culture were the Chinese mfg. AK47 variants that were once so plentiful & inexpensive. The highest quality & most sought after variants were mfg.

by Polytech & imported in numerous configurations. As their popularity increased in the United States w/ shooters & collectors & the availability of the once rare 7.62x39mm ammunition became available, we were faced w/ the first of numerous pieces of legislation dealing w/ the propaganda push of the day & firearms w/ similar attributes were branded “assault weapons” & eventually heavily restricted. Of course the full autos were already heavily under attack & their mfg. ceased on May 19, 1986. One of the first new restrictions regarding the semi automatic versions to go into effect was mandated by executive order w/out legislative involvement & banned the importation of guns that didn’t qualify as having a sporting purpose. One of the most noticeable & popular functional features is the bottom folding metal stock that was designed to completely fold over & around a loaded 30 rd. mag. This particular example is a textbook piece w/ its light brown hardwood furniture, still in factory packaging as it left China. Stamped receiver.

Hooded front sight post & rear sight adj. in elevation to 800m. Safety selector on right side of receiver. Complete w/ its bayonet, scabbard, threaded bbl. & slanted muzzle brake. MAGS: 3 - 30 rd. factory. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: factory box & all components as shipped from Polytech including green canvas sling, oil bottle, cylindrical cleaning kit & magazines still unsealed plastic bags.

CONDITION: all outward appearances indicate that this particular example may have been removed from its factory packaging only for display & occasional light fondling after being converted to full auto by SWD Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia as we received it in its original styrofoam lined cardboard box. All factory provided components are still nestled in their proper place. Finish coverage is complete w/ only thinning between stock & receiver, which can’t be avoided once extended & collapsed. Light impressions in lower handguard that correspond w/ closed placement of folding stock. Lower receiver marked “SWD INC., ATL. GA” left side trigger on bottom. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Bore is shiny w/ strong rifling. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT MG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE. (03-1528/JZ). MODERN CLASS III. $13,000-18,000.

1009. FULLY TRANSFERABLE CLASSIC MP40 SMG. Cal. 9mm. S# SWC1023. Bbl. 10”. Hooded fixed blade front sight, rear sight is windage drift adj., 2 piece folding leaf. Of all the German WWII era SMGs, the MP40 may be the most iconic of them all. Its slow cyclic rate combined w/ decent sights & pleasant ergonomics make it as fun to operate as it is interesting to look at. It utilizes a very simplistic, yet incredibly smooth open bolt firing mechanism. The recoil system is typical of German over engineering consisting of a 3 piece telescoping rod w/ a captured spring that dbls. as the connection point for the firing pin which slides inside of the bolt. The safety mechanism is an extremely simple design which shares commonalties w/ other WWII era SMGs. It consists of a rearward notch that interfaces w/ the cocking handle holding the bolt to the rear. This particular example was mfg. by Special Weapons Co. of Wilmington, NC utilizing the majority of what appears to be original German parts. This MP40 utilizes a 3d generation mag. housing which includes the ribs for strength & square notch facing the shooter. While outwardly marked parts possess several waffenamts & numbers, it appears to have been assembled from numerous original SMGs w/ very few numbered matching. Rear trunnion, sights, trigger group & stock bear matching numbers & indicate “bnz43” mfg. Rear trunnion bears waffenamt w/ code “WaA623”, as well as front sight assembly forward of resting bar. Under folding stock, reddish-brown Bakelite grips w/ dark brown Bakelite lower receiver cover. MAGS: 2 unmarked metal 32 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1 metal MP38/40 spring assisted mag. loader & black nylon Assault Systems transport bag. CONDITION: blued finish is consistent & complete on all exposed metal surfaces.

1010. FULLY TRANSFERABLE RUGER AC556K MG. Cal. 223. S# 191-04110. Bbl. 13”. The Ruger AC556 select fire system probably gained the lions share of its notoriety from being the go to weapon of Mr. T. & the A-Team. The select fire version of the extremely popular Mini-14 was available in several configurations & finishes. The short barreled factory folding stock such as this example has long been a favorite. Unmarked flash hider & muzzle brake, stainless steel in appearance & 3 1/2” in length. Hardwood w/ steel right side folding stock. Black plastic ventilated bbl. shroud. The AC556 is unique in that it offers 3 modes of fire to be determined by the user including single shot semi-automatic, 3 rd. burst or full auto. The selector is located to the right on the rear portion of the receiver while the safety remains in its traditional position forward of the trigger guard identical to the Mini-14. The gas block, rear of the muzzle, has the appropriate sling point attachment indicating original manufacture as a folding stock gun. Sling swivels on left side front & rear w/ black nylon sling.

1012. FULLY TRANSFERABLE ABSOLUTELY PRESTINE VECTOR UZI SMG IN FACTORY BOX. Cal. 9mm. S# 102111.

Bbl. 10 1/4”. Model HR4332 is one of the most sought after Uzi Platforms on the market. These guns were purpose built as machine guns w/ proper heat treating & available in several calibers.

While they are often stamped in multiple calibers, the vast majority were offered in 9mm parabellum. The original Uzi SMG is an open bolt, select fire mechanism that is light years ahead of its technology when it comes to use, it can be utilized in its collapsed, concealable configuration, yet takes only moments to extend the rear stock w/ a simple slap of the control hand pulling it into its extended position. The Uzi bbl. only appears to be a couple inches in length which greatly minimizes its signature for use in tight quarters, but because of the ingenious design it actually extends back inside of the bolt giving the operator over 10” of rifled bbl. to increase hit probability immensely. Its ratcheting top cover is an important safety factor when utilizing an open bolt mechanism.

Those that are familiar w/ the 1911 family of firearms will appreciate the grip safety integrated into the mechanism. This particular example has black plastic furniture, bottom front mounted bayonet lug & sling swivels on left side of receiver & stock. Elevation adj. protected post front sight. Dual aperture rear sight. Left side markings “A-R-S” above safety/selector. Left rear receiver markings “HR4332 / 9MM/45 ACP/22 / Group IND (inside target logo) / LOU KY 40214” & in center above trigger group “VECTOR ARMS NSL. UT”. Right side receiver markings include S# 102111. MAGS: 1-25 rd. parkerized stick mag. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: cardboard box as provided by Vector Arms, originally warranty card & UZI operation manual. CONDITION: all exposed metal surfaces are black parkerized in what appears to be factory finish. All outward appearances indicate this firearm has seen very little use if any at all.

Stock locks tight & positive in both open & closed position. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Shiny bore w/ strong rifling.

The American 180 is an open bolt, select fire 22 LR buzz saw that typically feeds from a 176 rd., 3 tiered metal circular mag. mounted on top of the receiver. E&L mfg. made a few plastic mags. w/ a capacity of 165 rds., 220 rds. & 275 rds. All of them utilize a captured spring winding mechanism to operate, just like the originals. The cyclic rate is often rumored to be in excess of 2000 RPM & a single burst in a full mag. is completed in only 7 seconds.

The sound is as unique as its appearance, compared more to that of a chainsaw than a firearm because of the excessive cyclic rate.

The bbl. is finned in a similar style to that of the legendary Thompson w/ a protected blade front sight & an adj. peep rear sight. The forend, pistol grip & shoulder stock are an attractive matching hardwood. Finish on all exposed metal parts is blued or black paint all bearing the same color & tone. Left side non reciprocating charging handle. Safety is located on the right side of the receiver. The selector is a cross slide pin. When pushed from left to right, full auto is selected & will continue to fire as long as trigger is held to the rear. When the pin is pushed in from the right, it is an open bolt semi auto action. The unique drum, w/ winding assembly is mounted on the top, above the chamber, forward of the trigger. The ejection port is below the firearm forward of the trigger. Top of factory length bbl. just rear of front sight marked “MADE IN AUSTRIA”. Other markings directly below drum placement include “AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CORP / SLC UTAH USA / A002118”. It is also marked “CAL. 22 LR” directly above chamber. Also includes 9” bbl. w/ a heavy profile & threaded muzzle bearing the familiar wooden Thompson SMG style vertical pistol grip. Removable rear stock locks w/ a single push button to the rear of the receiver similar to that of a Thompson SMG. Sling swivel left rear side of receiver. MAGS: 2 polymer E&L Mfg. believed to be 165 rds. & 220 rds. (possibly 275). UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: extra 9” bbl. w/ vertical fore grip, 1 metal winder, 1 E&L loading tray, E&L owner instructional manual, 1 black nylon transport bag. CONDITION: original finish enjoys full coverage on exposed metal surfaces w/ some thinning on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. No major visible flaws of any type. Wood furniture exhibits only light handling marks w/ several sm. impressions typically associated w/ storage. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Both drums appear to be functional & both rotate freely. Both bores are shiny w/ visible rifling. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT SMG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.

1018. FULLY TRANSFERABLE POWDER SPRINGS, GA INGRAM M10 SMG. Cal. 45. S# 1-3006443. Bbl. 6”. There are very few firearms that conjure up the imagination of the general public more than the mere mention of the MAC 10.

The Ingram Model 10 was originally designed in 1964. It would become the 1st of many sm. simplistic SMGs to contrast the expensive & labor intensive earlier variants such as the Thompson & Reising M50. Ingram’s 2 basic guidelines while designing the Model 10 “simple & cheap” while remaining effective & reliable. Made famous mostly by Hollywood, the M10 had appearances on the silver screen & on television eventually earning the infamous title of “The Gun That Made The 80’s Roar” starting w/ John Wayne utilizing a suppressed 9mm M10 in the 1974 movie “McQ”. A favorite example used by the organized anti-gun movement, the Mac 10 was eventually, incorrectly & inaccurately synonymous w/ every crime committed for a long period of time.

1022. AS NEW 12 GA. TROMIX S17 SBS SAIGA 12. Cal. 12 Ga. S# H1140996. Bbl. 8”.

Since the last round of import restrictions, very few firearms have been as highly sought after as the Saiga-12 shotgun.

These firearms as popular as they continue to be were well known for being all over the map as far as quality control. While some function flawlessly, running everything from hot slugs & buck shot down to the inexpensive bulk pack ammo, there were others that refused to cycle properly regardless of ammo type. Because of this non conformity an entire aftermarket industry with fixes, upgrades & accessories quickly formed. Of those companies that rebuilt & upgraded the Saiga-12 platform, none were as highly sought after as TROMIX Lead Delivery Systems started by Tony Rumore, a long time gun plumber & skunkworx specialist well known for many of his innovative, sometimes outrageous designs. His version of the Saiga-12 often referred to as the S17. Though it may quickly be easily identified by the aggressive door breeching shark muzzle break & familiar XS night sights a detailed look will expose an enormous number of upgrades to the original platform that could include a SAW pistol grip, re-machining the receiver end to the correct angle & adding a TIG welded back plate, a welded safety selector stop, welded TROMIX trigger guard, welded up discarded axis pin holes, the addition of US mfg. fire control parts, modifying the mag well for standard capacity magazines, realigning the gas block, tuning the extractor w/ proper bbl. relief & sand blasting w/ aluminum oxide media before refinishing w/ a black, bake on Norrell Molly Resin.

1118. US&S 1911-A1 SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. Cal. 45 ACP. S# EXP No 21. Bbl. 5” High Standard Type 18 having “P” on right leg & “HS” on left. Union Switch & Signal (subsidiary of Westinghouse Air Brake Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.) received initial contract for 200,000 1911A1 pistols; later amended to 30,000 & finally amended to 55,000. In spite of back & forth orders from ordnance, US&S made some of the best pistols of WWII. All pistols were finished w/ Du-Lite over sand blasted surfaces. Early pistols had Keyes Fibre stocks w/ no escutcheon rings; this pistol has later Keyes grips w/ rings. Bbl. bushings all have characteristic circular machining marks around bore; this one has thin outer rim & ring only shows above plug recess. There were 3 variations of “P” inspection marks. First no marks at all (this pistol), second marked on left edge of slide in front of rear sight (due to an error in the blueprints furnished), & third having “P” inspection mark centered on top of slide in front of rear sight (most common proofing). All had wide serrated ramp front sights & square notched rears. All have stamped checkered sheet metal trigger (bright blue finished), checkered mainspring housing having 27 diamonds on center row & Type E variation 3 hammer. “EXP” prefix pistols often described as experimental but no documentation exists proving this. Most pistols however show some major defect; most common is stripped stock screw bushings. This pistol shows lg. forging voids, which would never pass ordnance inspection. Most likely explanation is EXP pistols were all rejected & scrapped. Scott Meadows in volume 2 of “U.S. Military Automatic Pistols” states, “the explanation of “EXP” prefix is largely a matter of opinion.”. This pistol is a good example of the reject explanation for “EXP”. This pistol is shown on page 326, figure 10-27 of “Colt .45 Service Pistols” (the big book) by Clawson. Right side of frame does not have Army marking as rejected prior to any inspection; no circled “RCD” mark or crossed cannons. Slide stop & safety are correct; checkered w/out milling cuts. Front sight is serrated wide tapered; rear is square notched flat top. MAGS: 1 good 7 rd. M.S. Little. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: brass museum style tag w/ number “326” fastened w/ ring to lanyard loop. CONDITION: major forging voids on receiver. Slide has light oxidation plus pitting near serrations. Slide stop has light oxidation.

Front plate of bbl. bushing overly thick & thin around perimeter. Hammer is flat sided & checkered. Grip safety appears to have been polished & refinished.

Mag. catch does not fit properly; lower than receiver w/ no mag. installed. All parts except bbl. bushing & grip safety appear to have DuLite finish w/ previously mentioned corrosion spots. Near excellent grips & bore. PROVENANCE: originally from Craig Baravalle Collection; Big Flats, New York. (22-337/NW). CURIO. $4,000-5,000.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1136. RARE SMITH & WESSON MODEL 13 LIGHTWEIGHT AIRCREWMAN REVOLVER. Cal. 38 Spl. S# C 278913.

Bbl. 2” pinned with “SMITH & WESSON” on left plus “.38 SPL. CTG.” on right. Shipped January 18, 1954 (within batch 2 of 10) to Norton Air Base in San Bernardino, CA. Alloy cylinder model designed for military M-41 cartridge using 130 grain FMJ bullet loaded to maximum pressure of 16,000 PSI. They are deemed unsafe to shoot with modern commercial ammo. Referred to as “.38 Military & Police Airweight” (introduced 1954) by S&W, they were marked “M13” for the Air Force; S&W later used Model 13 for their K frame fixed sight heavy barreled 357 Mag. police model revolver. Left top strap marked “REVOLVER, LIGHTWEIGHT, M13” plus backstrap marked “PROPERTY OF U. S. AIR FORCE”. Originally made as 5 screw K frame round butt, they were changed to 4 screws (eliminating upper sideplate screw) per military request for simplicity & reduced parts; later, ALL S&W model revolvers eliminated the top side plate screw in 1956 plus model stampings began in 1957. This revolver has early flat cylinder latch plus matching numbered barrel, alloy cylinder, extractor, and round butt diamond center checkered walnut grips. Case colored standard serrated trigger and checkered hammer. Later models for the Air Force had steel cylinders to alleviate the strength concern of the alloy cylinders plus some were supposedly retrofitted with steel cylinders (none have been documented). S&W recommends that these revolvers not be fired but rather retained as rare collectibles. Most of the originals were destroyed by the government & sold as scrap making those left in existence very rare; because of this, there are many “fakes” and S&W warns of this fakery as well.

This one is “the real deal” in spectacular condition. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 2019 factory letter supporting above statements.

CONDITION: simply stunning collector example with all aspects near excellent. Careful scrutiny will yield a very faint beginning cylinder turn line and hint of a rub mark on the cylinder from the revolver laying on its side. PROVENANCE: Estate collection of Fred Inganamort. (22-1627/NW). CURIO. $5,000-8,000.

Bottom of bbl. marked “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” & is matching numbered w/ eagle S24 proof. Matching numbered cyl. (eagle S24 proofed) & extractor. Originally designed for rimless 45 ACP using half moon clips & also for 45 Auto Rim (rimmed version of ACP not requiring clips). CONDITION: wonderful appearing example w/ very minimal flaws. Sm. stained oxidation spots on sides of hammer spur. Very sm. mark on left side of frame near bbl. pin plus different appearing color & finish of bbl.; possible replacement or top quality factory refinish. Very slight thinning & faint pinprick oxidation on grip straps. General light marks throughout grips not commensurate w/ revolver finish; lanyard swivel has gray patina tone.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1174. EXTREMELY RARE & DESIRABLE GERMAN WWI MAUSER BOLT ACTION SINGLE SHOT ANTI-TANK RIFLE. Cal. 13.25mm. S# 1138. Bbl. 39”. All visible numbers match.

Import marked on right side of receiver ring with “SIMPSON LTD G’BURG IL.” Tangent rear sight graduated to 500 meters.

Inverted V front sight. WWI inaugurated static trench warfare on a larger scale than previous wars resulting in new conditions and problems. Machine gun and sniper positions were well dug in and tended to be protected by armor plating and there were early attempts to produce personal body armor. These plates were dealt with at first by using very high powered sporting rifles and if the plates were not penetrated, they could be simply, to paraphrase a British officer, “be bashed in”. The German army developed a steel cored armor piercing bullet for the 7.92 cal. rifle and machine gun cartridge called the “SmK” bullet. This bullet was not very effective against the tanks introduced by the British at the battle of Flers-Courcelette during the Somme campaign in September of 1916. Tank armor averaged between 1/4” and 1/2” in thickness and while it could sometimes be penetrated at close range by the steel cored “SmK” ammunition, this was not always reliable. The Germans at this time were developing a heavy version of the Maxim machine gun chambered for the newly developed 13.2 X 92 semi-rimmed cartridge which was designated the “Tank und Flieger” (TuF). This cartridge was chosen for the new anti-tank rifle using a steel cored armor piercing bullet. The velocity was given as 2580 feet per second. This allowed it to penetrate approx. 1” of armor at 100 meters at a 90 degree angle and nearly 3/4 of an inch at 500 meters.

A potent round indeed. This cartridge was also at least in part the inspiration for the famed U.S. .50 cal. machine gun rd. There was no attempt to reduce the reportedly brutal recoil of these rifles. The late Carl “Bill” Morrison of Bradford Maine owned two of these rifles and rebarreled one to .50 machine gun. He stated that three shots at one session would result in a sore shoulder and splitting headache. The crew consisted of a gunner and an ammunition carrier who were cross-trained to do either job. This rifle gave the German soldier a means of dealing with tanks without the necessity of calling on the artillery which might be engaged with other tasks. They were used by both the Imperial German empire and Weimar Republic, some reportedly served in Sweden.

1192. RARE & HIGHLY DESIRABLE CZECH ZH-29 SEMI-AUTO MILITARY RIFLE. Cal. 8x57 Mauser. S# 10209.

Bbl. 23 5/16”. Introduced in 1929, this rifle is a gas operated tilting block design by Emmanuel Holek, who was the brother of Vaclav Holek, designer of the Z.B. 26 LMG. The rifle has an unusual design in that the bolt locks into the left side of the receiver causing the breech to be offset to the left and requiring that the sights be offset to compensate. Features include the hinged receiver for takedown and cleaning as well as an adj. gas cyl. to regulate the operating pressure. Forend terminates in a cast aluminum block with cooling fins. Rifles were made primarily in 8x57 Mauser and given trial in many countries including the United States. According to Bruce Canfield in the book “The M1 Garand Rifle”, the ZH 29 as trialed by the U.S. ordnance board was not well liked for its looks, but it did perform very well and importantly did not require lubricated ammunition. The rifle also weighed less than the minimum weight thought necessary & established that a full power rifle could be built within the weight limits desired by the U.S. Ordnance Department. This was a crucial element and turning point in the development of the M1 Garand rifle. Research reveals that the rifle was purchased in small quantities by China and Ethiopia, as well as being trialed by Japan, Lithuania and the U.S. Little record is available on combat use of this rifle, but there is little doubt it would have performed well under normal circumstances. Receiver marked on left side “CESKOSLOVENSKA ZBROJOVKA, AKCIOVA SPOLECNOST BRNO”. Receiver marked on top rear “AUTOMATICKA PUSKA Z.H. 29.” & “rampant lion”. Tangent rear sight graduated to 1,600 meters.

Inverted V front sight. Bayonet lug is mounted on bbl. shroud & has matching S#. Rotary safety on right side of rifle. Rifle is mfg. for detachable box mags. which can be loaded at the top using integral grip guides in receiver. Bottom swivels. Buttplate is grooved sheet metal. Walnut pistol grip buttstock & matching 2 piece walnut handguards. Unmarked tan leather military sling. MAGS: 1-10 rd. blued steel marked on rear w/ sm. encircled Z. CONDITION: has nice appearance but has evidence of a sm. degree of service use. Buttstock is slightly loose on receiver. Stock set has light wear, scratches & sm. handling marks. Metal parts have correct plum hue finish w/ scattered sm. spots of oxidation & modest high point wear. Aluminum cooling block has dull appearance & notable 4 sm. filled areas on left side. Bright bolt has numerous tiny scratches on left side. Bore has good shiny appearance w/ strong sharp lands. (221038/RW). CURIO. $13,000-19,000.

1253. RARE KRIEGHOFF POST-WAR “PX” LUGER SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. Cal. 9mm Luger.

S# 200. Bbl. 4” unmarked w/ standard fin shaped front sight blade. Mfg. at end of WWII from left over parts for sale to US G.I.s looking for war souvenirs hence the term “PX” Luger. Various references slightly disagree as to quantity mfg.; definitely not over 400. Two types differing by whether or not HK Krieghoff logo is on toggle. Limited numbering & proofs. This example w/ frame numbered slightly to left of center (as most were) & numerals of 3.1mm height; some references state 3.3mm. Left side of receiver numbered plus “00” on back side of sideplate leg. Receiver & frame have Luftwaffe trapezoidal 2 proof plus drooped wing firing proof. Frame additionally has circled A reject proof. Other minor post war indicators are that bbl. & receiver lack indexing mark at bottom juncture. Late unnumbered gas grooved firing pin. Toggles void of markings & have fine cross marks perpendicular to bore rather than typical polishing. Breech bolt has unpolished appearance w/ extractor slightly proud of breech bolt surface having finish marks like toggles; “GELADEN” marked.

Toggle pivot retaining pin properly unfinished but top portion peened so appearance appears almost dbl. in diameter. Mixture of finishes in that mag. latch is blued rather than strawed like remaining sm. parts. Bottom of receiver rails & corresponding frame parts are properly in the white as are bottom flats of breech bolt. Coarse checkered Black Widow style grips w/ slight unpolished irregularities to borders; very good fit to frame w/ fire blued screws. Both toggle pivots have used appearance as expected for quick post war assembly.

Per Davis’ reference book on Lugers, this variation w/out marked toggle was numbered 1-200 & this is #200! Davis states marked toggle variation numbered 10-250; other references cite 12-245. Very rare w/ enhancements & accessories. MAGS: 4 Luger 8 rd. TOTAL; 2 blued extruded models w/ aluminum bases retained by single pin plus BOTH matching numbered 200. Bodies unmarked & bases do not appear remarked. References state mag. bodies usually marked & bases not numbered. Both w/ very minimal top front wear & close to near excellent. 1 Dull toned tin plated mag. w/ aluminum base marked “7942” plus eagle “6” proof & numbered “2” plus over stamped w/ “1”; 1 Dull toned tin plated w/ wood base numbered “3939”. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: extravagant looking grip set w/ nickel over black plastic giving black background appearance. Slightly below midpoint is shield area suitable for initials, etc. Most notable is gold toned eagle over wreath containing white porcelain background & black party symbol. Sm. chip at top of each white background. Eagle symbols appear original due to detail & porcelain as if for some other ornamentation such as cap or uniform. Grips although well made are not of typical German craftsmanship; especially appearance of backs (yet for quick production & post war sales possibly correct). Black unmarked flap holster w/ mixture of predominantly white stitching w/ hinge area restitched in black. Buckle & strap retention w/ normal lift strap & dbl. belt loops. Tool pouch under flap w/ original loading tool having trapezoidal eagle 2 Luftwaffe proof. Holster has appearance of something for G.I. sales in good plus condition w/ some mold stains plus bbl. section of bottom slightly askew. CONDITION: general appearance is near excellent w/ scratches on left side of bbl.; about 1” long near receiver. Sm. marks on front strap at midpoint & near base. Breech face & feed ramp have unfired appearance.

Safety lever w/ solid detenting; appearing minimal use. Sideplate w/ good finish but different tone than receiver. Listed condition plus other related points in description all support post war assembly. Near excellent new appearing bore. Only non smooth aspect is where tops of mags. rub on less than properly fitted mag. latch. (21-4459/NW). CURIO. $6,500-9,500.

Commercial cutaway model with all matching numbers to include firing pin & grips; rear toggle pivot not numbered. Fine example with the ability to see the workings of a Luger from the assembled exterior. This example is shown on pages 778 & 1097 in Volume II of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess’ book “The Borchardt & Luger Automatic Pistols”. The finish is all blued with the extractor and ejector having a distinct plum tone; slight plum tone near front sight. The finish is a subdued matte blue with the barrel and sides of frame having a more gloss appearance. No strawed components or in the white interior sections. Fine German craftsmanship with detail that shows the intricate working parts of a Luger. The legend area of the front toggle is milled away; likely it was a Mauser banner model. The chamber area is void of date and the receiver is void of proofs. Although most Mauser Lugers had a letter suffix in their serial numbers, Sturgess’ book lists this as a Commercial Mauser without a suffix. MAGS: very good blued 8 rd. with aluminum base numbered 21 without proofs. CONDITION: All aspects are near excellent having minimal function wear. As unusual as this appears, it would be functional with a replacement barrel. PROVENANCE: Estate Collection of Kenneth Horn (Grandson of JC Higgins). Ex - Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess Collection.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1267. PHENOMENAL “A” SUFFIX SWISS 1900 MILITARY LUGER, MUZZLE CAP, HOLSTER. Cal. 7.65mm Luger. S# 5061A. An extraordinarily rare Swiss military Luger, one of only 100 such pistols, in the serial range 5001A-5100A. In 1914, DWM suspended Luger deliveries to Switzerland in favor of arming its own military. That left the Swiss with a weapons shortage.

To supply pistols to newly graduating officers, a number of instructional pistols in the “E.” series were recalled and forwarded to the Bern arsenal for reconditioning. Part of the process included a renumbering, whereby the E.xxx number was removed and replaced with a serial starting from 5001 so as to continue the range of the previously issued M1900s.

However, as by that time the M1906s had been issued with serial numbers starting with 5001, these guns were distinguished by adding an “A” suffix. The pistol has standard M1900 characteristics, with a 4.75” bbl., a drift adjustable front sight, and a “V” notch rear sight. Swiss Cross over chamber. Dished toggle with upgraded, reinforced extractor, anti-rebound lock, DWM on middle link, thin trigger, broad grip safety, fluted thumb safety. “P53” release at rear of frame. Major components rust blued. Trigger, takedown lever, extractor, ejector, magazine release button are strawed. Fire blued front sight and grip screws. Finely checkered walnut panels. Front sight cover marked “H. LUTHY/ARMES/NEUCHATEL”. Disassembly shows all matching parts except grips, each panel numbered “661”.

MAGS: correct military with flat button and wood base/metal discs. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: VG+ holster with supple leather and intact stitching. Brown leather with strap, manufacturer marked and dated “06” on obverse surface. CONDITION: crisp 98-99% blue, minimal sharp edge wear consistent with holstering, with a nice “blue” hue as usually found on original/non-reconditioned pistols.

Discreetly import marked using a fine laser etching method in an unobtrusive area. Comparable condition straw and near excellent grips. Mirror bore and near excellent manual mechanics. A super nice example of what may be the rarest of the Swiss military pistols.

PROVENANCE: From the esteemed collection of Paul Regnier, Switzerland. (20-1417/LA). CURIO. $9,500-15,000.

The only place that the Barrett Model M82A1 is larger then the roles it plays on the big screen is surprisingly enough in real life. The brain child of Ronnie Barrett, the M82 came to life in 1982 w/ this version the M82A1 making its debut in 1986. By 1990 it was destined to be a permanent fixture in US service, having seen time in every conflict since. Chambered in the massive .50BMG (12.7x99 NATO) cartridge utilizing a short recoil, rotating bolt, semi automatic action. Weighing in at almost 33lbs. & just under 60” in length the iconic Short Recoil Semi Automatic (SRSA) plays a primary roll as anti material rifle w/ a secondary task of long distance explosive ordinance disposal (EOD). It utilizes a 29” free floating, fluted heavy bbl. that recoils upon firing through its 8 groove, right hand twist, 1:15 rifling, terminated w. a massive muzzle break to dampen felt recoil. It possesses a battle sighting system consisting of a flip up hooded post front sight w/ a folding adj. rear peep sight graduated from 100 to 1500 yds. In between the enormous 23” sight radius lies a 5.5” section of picatinny rail as well as a left side folding carry handle at approximately center of balance. Rounds are feed from a detachable 10 rd. mag. The full potential of this awesome platform is more easily realized w/ the assistance of a Leupold Mark 4, 4.5-14x50 matte black scope, w/ illuminated reticle, mated to the Barrett Optical Ranging System (B.O.R.S.) atop the correct Barrett rings. Flat black parkerized finish on all exposed metal surfaces.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1515. ALEXANDER ARMS ELITE ULFBERHT RIFLE. Cal. 338 mag. S# AA-ULF20 43. Bbl. 27.5”.

The +ULFBERH+T rifle was designed to be a unique piece of weaponry unlike anything manufactured at the time. Its name derives from a small line of ancient swords that were uncharacteristically strong for the period they were manufactured in. In order to stick with the original inspiration, the design often found on these swords appears on the rifle as well. The effective range of this new design was intended for distances reaching 2,000 yards. Owning the title of 2015 Rifle of the Year, the mechanism was based on the Russian DP-28 belt fed machine gun. It boasts an adjustable gas system and a unique operating system where the bolt runs twice the length of the cartridge to help minimize recoil. The goal was to have such a light recoil impulse so that the operator could monitor his own impact to adjust the follow up shots without the necessity of a spotter. It weighs in at 19.8 pounds unloaded to further minimize recoil. The forged receiver is manufactured from 9310 steel alloy with a dark black Melonite finish. It utilizes a hard anodized aluminum top cover and hand guards that give the shooter 26” of real estate for optic mounting.

In true Bullpup fashion, the operator has the ability to utilize a long bbl. to take advantage of available ballistics w/ out sacrificing negative aspects of having a full-sized rifle. Due to the placement of the action, which is under the cheek of the shooter, the bbl. extends forward from that point, where it is typically above the trigger creating a much smaller signature.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1574. CUSTOMIZED OLYMPIC ARMS OA 96 PISTOL. Cal. 5.56. S# 96OP0035. Bbl. 6.5”. AR based pistols are wildly popular now, but this wasn’t always the case. The earliest versions prior to SB Tactical introducing the pistol brace were awkward & cumbersome due to the protruding buffer tube. The very first entrant to lose the buffer tube in a commercial variant was Olympic Arms & their OA-93 pistol. This pistol incorporates a recoil spring mechanism above & behind a highly modified bolt carrier instead of in its traditional position to the rear, eliminating the necessity for a protruding buffer tube. They were mfg. in 5.56x45mm & 7.62x39mm, though the passage of The Crime Bill cast doubt on the legality as originally offered. Eventually there were a few different configurations that worked w/in the confines of the short lived “assault weapons ban” (AWB) prior to its sunset in 2004. In 1996 in order to comply w/ the new AWB Olympic Arms introduced the OA 96. From a distance it was virtually identical to the original OA 93 however in order to comply w/ the law it was redesigned to use a fixed, non-detachable mag. therefore exempting it from the AWB criteria. It crudely utilized a standard 30 rd. mag. that was permanently affixed by incompletely manufacturing the lower receiver w/out the mag. release & its components & filling the void area w/ J B Weld. Reloading the fixed mag. was accomplished by redesigning the rear takedown pin to function by pushing a button below the space that would typically accept the buffer tube, allowing the upper receiver to pivot on the front takedown pin. This would give the operator immediate access to the mag. A few years later it was redesigned once again as the OA 98 w/ even more changes. Since the AWB ended in 2004 these provisions are no longer necessary to incorporate or utilize & this particular OA 96 has been extensively modified, returning the internals to their original capacity, once again accepting detachable mags. The Magwell has been heavily modified internally, removing the provisions for the original fixed mag. design & adding a standard mag. release system. Threaded muzzle w/ vortex style flash hider. Gas piston rotating bolt operating system. Flat top upper receiver where the 6” picatinny rail section incorporates the unique recoil spring mechanism that doubles as a left side non-reciprocating charging handle & currently sports a Bushnell HOLO-Sight. 4” Free floating tubular handguard. Brass deflector is present while forward assist assembly has been replaced w/ a sling swivel. Ribbed black plastic pistol grip w/ bottom storage compartment. Normal AR-15 trigger group & controls. MAGS: NONE. CONDITION: original finish still covers the vast majority of exposed metal surfaces w/ light handling marks & thinning in areas of mechanical intervention. A view inside the Magwell will reveal the amount of finish that has been removed while modifying it to again accept standard detachable mags. While the examples we tested seemed to lock into place & release just fine, a little aesthetic TLC will only improve it. Unable to verify Bushnell function. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PROVENANCE: Estate collection of Fred Inganamort. (22-1774/JZ). MODERN. $550-800.

1575. KELTEC SUB-9 FOLDING RIFLE. Cal. S# 02794.

Bbl. 16”. Mfg. Keltec. The unique Keltec Sub-9 is an interesting entry in the pistol cal. carbine (PCC) universe.

1577. INCREDIBLY RARE HK 512 SHOTGUN 1 OF ONLY 343. Cal. 12ga. S# S88936. Bbl. 18”. Mfg. HK. Originally manufactured for the GSG 9 Counter Terrorism Unit in Germany, only a tiny handful ever made it to the United States over 30 yrs. ago. A corporative effort between Franchi in Italy & H&K in West Germany the model 512 would become a historic launching point for the enormous number of law enforcement & military shotguns that are so common today. A factory over run led to the importation of 343 examples brought in to the United States by Kiesler Police Supply of Jeffersonville, Indiana in the early 1990’s w/ a wholesale price of $1,895. This gas operated, self loading 12 ga. shotgun had a feeding tube providing a 7 rd. capacity of 2 3/4” shells. The bbl. is terminated w/ a unique shot diverter muzzle device which created an oval pattern very reminiscent to the function of the Great Lakes “Duckbill Choke” as used in Vietnam by Special Forces. It is intended for buckshot use only. Bbl. stamped “UNM 1325” on left side below rear sight. Matte black finish accented w/ gorgeous checkered walnut stocks. The front sight is a raised blade w/ a rear folding sight adj. for windage & elevation. Bottom sling swivels front & rear. Left side receiver marked “K.P.S. JEFF, IN.”/”REC FRANCHI ITALY”.

Push button safety located in trigger guard, rear of trigger. MAGS: N/A. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: none. CONDITION: finish on all exposed metal surfaces complete & consistent w/ only a few light marks visible on close inspection. Diverter muzzle brake demonstrates thinning which appears to be normal since every example this cataloger has seen has the same finish. Front stock has a sm. impression at 6 o’clock & rear stock possesses a few sm. impressions as well as a light scratch on right side primarily in the checkering. Bore is bright & fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (22-295/JZ). MODERN. $3,000-4,500.

1606. R.J. BRAVERMAN STINGER PEN PISTOL. Cal. 22 LR. S# B002715.Bbl. 2”. This is an extremely unique example of firearms ingenuity that hit the market in the 1990’s. The vast majority of firearms that share similarities to the Braverman Pen Gun are classified by the BATF as an AOW (Any Other Weapon) & are highly regulated through the NFRTR. Firearms that fall under the perview of NFA (National Firearms Act) are commonly referred to as Class III & require extensive paperwork, background checks & Federal transfer fees. Pen guns are a prime example of an AOW, which is a firearm that doesn’t resemble a traditional gun & includes examples such as cane guns, single shot flashlights & knife guns. The paperwork that must be submitted & approved for an AOW prior to transfer is exactly the same as used for purchasing machine guns, destructive devices & sound suppressors & can take upwards of a year before the buyer can take possession. The ingenuity of the Braverman design allows the purchaser of it to proceed exactly like any traditional firearm w/ no taxes or Federal registration necessary thus, they are extremely desirable. Because the Braverman must be positioned w/ the bbl. at an 80 degree angle from the body of it, it is no longer considered an AOW, but just a standard pistol.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1621. RARE WWII GERMAN KNIGHT’S CROSS OF THE IRON CROSS BY JUNCKER WITH OAK LEAVES. A rare & very desirable WWII German 1939 Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross likely produced by Juncker of Berlin. This example features a regulation silver frame of standard form marked, “L/12” & “800” on either side of the round suspension loop. The cross is of multi-piece construction with black center having an eggshell sheen that is rarely seen

by Juncker. As expected, the obverse has a raised Party symbol with the date “1939” below & the reverse has a raised “1813” which represents the year the award was instituted. The award measures 47.92mm x 48.35mm. The cross is accompanied by oak leaves in silver being commonly known as 2nd type. The oak leaves are marked, “900” indicating silver purity & “21” being the Prasidialkanzlei number. The oak leaves measure 21.08mm x 20.16mm & are believed to have been mfg. by Gebruder Godet of Berlin. The Knight’s Cross is suspended from a short, correct red, white & black ribbon with black cotton tapes measuring 9 1/2” & 4” on either end. The 9 1/2” length has a sewn hook at the end & the 4” length features 3 eye attachments for size adjustment. CONDITION: the Cross has an impressive look showing expected tarnish to the silver. There is very minor wear to the black interior of the Cross. The oak leaves appear to show some degree of exposure to fire that does not materially detract from their appearance. The ribbon is very slightly soiled from honest wear but is free of damage.

XRAY IMAGES OF CONTENTS

1625. FASCINATING SEALED GOLD WWII ESCAPE & EVASION KIT WITH XRAY. S#1811. This exciting find dates back to WWII as a life saving solution designed by the U.S. Navy to assist pilots downed over enemy territory in reuniting with friendly forces. There were two primary Escape and Evasion kits, often referred to as “Barter Kits” developed, one for the European Theater and the other for the Pacific. Each kit contained around 1 oz. of gold in items that could be bartered for their return to safety. The European kit offered here was encased in a sealed rubber block measuring 4.5”x3.5”x.75”. These kits contained approximately .90 oz. of gold and typically consisted of gold coins and rings. The rubber case is embossed “IF FOUND RETURN TO COMNAVAIRLANT (ONAL 34) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA” on both sides with the S# 1811 in electric pencil. The rubber is extremely dense yet remains pliable. Coin denominations were typically half and 1 pound gold sovereigns with 20 and 10 franc gold coins. The kit designed for the Pacific Theater typically contained gold rings, a gold embossed pendant, a short gold chain and a multi-jeweled Swiss calendar watch. This kit unlike the European contained approximately 1.08 oz. of gold and was housed in a plastic container that was much easier to open. After the war these kits were put in storage where they sat undisturbed until 1979 when the price of gold started making notable gains in value. The price of gold had risen from approximately from $25. per oz. at the time of their design to as high as $900 per oz. during this period. When the Defense Property Disposal Service offered these kits to be available by public auction they immediately caught the attention of the numismatic collectors. Four auctions were held in 1979 and 1980 by sealed bid with minimum bids tied directly to current price of gold. At the time of the first auction in 1979 gold was at $256.50 per oz., climbing to $900 before settling back to $508 by the 3rd auction in 1980. The kit available in this event, housed in rubber presented enough of a challenge to open that the Defense Dept. provided detailed instructions to gain access utilizing 2 suggested methods. The first method uses acetone while the second suggested liquid nitrogen. Literature outlining both methods are included in this sale. Perhaps the most exciting part of this extremely collectible WWII artifact is the fact it is still sealed and unopened so we went the extra mile and had it X-rayed to show exactly what it’s contents are. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: historical literature and new X-ray. (02-16291/JZ). $9,000-11,000.

1631. WWI GERMAN HONOR GOBLET PRESENTED TO FIGHTER ACE OTTO ESSWEIN ON THE OCCASION OF HIS FIRST AIR VICTORY. This exceptional hammered silver, early war Honor Goblet measures approx. 7 3/4” high x 3 3/4” in diameter. It features intricate repousse work depicting 2 eagles in pitched battle with an inscription below that reads, “Otto Esswein 15 . 11 . 1917 Jasta 26”. “Jasta 26” is short for his command, Jagdstaffel 26, one of Germany’s famed “hunting groups”. The date “15 . 11 . 1917”, commemorates the first aerial victory of Otto Esswein. The bottom of the goblet has further repousse work that reads, “Dem Sieger im Luftkampt” which roughly translates to “The Victor in Air Combat”. A sm. disk on the underside of the goblet features a Prussian eagle with the words, “CHEF DES FELDFLUGWESENS” which translates to “Chief of the Field Air Forces”.

The entire goblet stands on a 4 ball base & there is a 4” solid wooden stand that displays the goblet. Offizeirstellvertreter Otto Esswein was a WWI double flying ace credited with 12 air victories. He was born in 1890 in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. After joining the military he transferred from ground troops to the aviation service in mid 1915. At the end of October 1917, he was assigned to Jagdstaffel 26 & scored his first victory by shooting down a Sopwith Camel 6 weeks later. Esswein went on to shoot down 11 more planes with his new Fokker Dr.I triplane. He was awarded Prussia’s highest award for bravery, the Military Merit Cross in Gold. This award is comparable to the Pour le Merite, however since Esswein was a warrant officer & not a commissioned officer, he could not receive the Pour le Merite. He was also awarded the 1st & 2nd Class Iron Crosses & Wurttemberg’s Military Merit Order in gold as well as silver. Esswein was shot down on July 16, 1918 but successfully parachuted to safety from his burning plane. 5 Days later he was again shot down & killed while attacking a balloon.

Session 1 | May 6, 2022 1674. A FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR PERIOD POUR LE MERITE WITH RIBBON ALSO KNOWN AS THE “BLUE MAX”. The Pour le Merite has long been one of the most prized & collected military medals of the world. This exceptional example was likely made by Wagner around 1870. It is gold with stunning blue enamel & measures 54.2mm in width & 54.1mm in height. It is off hollow construction with a single tiny vent hole in the center of the bottom of the medal.

The medal itself features a crowned “F” & the words, “Pour le Merite” in gold on brilliant blue enamel field. Between the arms of the crosses are gold Prussian eagles. A lg. solid gold ring connects the medal to its black & silver bullion thread ribbon. The Pour le Merite was first awarded in 1740 by King Frederick II of Prussia. French was the leading international language of the age & was spoken at King Frederick II’s court. This is the reason that one of the highest German awards has a French name. At the fall of the Prussian monarchy in 1918, the military class of the Pour le Merite ceased being awarded. CONDITION: the medal has a beautiful appearance with only the slightest enamel flaking showing at the center of the reverse. The ribbon is 9” long & cut at both ends.

1774. BULGARIAN RPG-7B W/ ROCKETS & BOOSTERS, DEMILLED. Contrary to popular belief shoulder fire rocket launchers are not a new technology. Looking back to the 18th Century will reveal early flintlock designs modified to launch a makeshift grenade.

More recently the military complex has refined their capabilities. The first RPG system the RPG-2 was simply a tube that launched a grenade. To the rear of the grenade was a launch charge that expelled the grenade with later versions utilizing a rocket that fired once it was out of range of the operator. The rocket was stabilized by 6 sheet metal fins placed at its rear. The effective range was a maximum of 150 meters and it utilized simple iron sights for aiming. The RPG-7 first hit the field in 1961. There are currently almost 30 variations of the RPG-7, most of them duplicate the Russian and Chinese variants. This particular example the RPG-7B was manufactured in Bulgaria, bearing Cyrillic characters and the Circle 10 arsenal mark on the trigger group. It is in a completely inert state at this time, non-firing and deactivated. The high-pressure chamber has a large hole drilled through it that is concealed beneath the brown heat shield to remain esthetically correct. It has also been properly demilled with the addition of a welded steel rod blocking the center of the chamber. Both pistol grips utilize brown plastic grip surfaces and the trigger group bears the following Cyrillic markings: “pnr-7B / EH947 / 1969r” with the Circle 10 Arsenal mark. The serial number EH947 is located on the receiver section of the tube as well. The left side of the blast chamber has a scope mount where the correct optic for aiming is located.

The optic is complete with the battery cup, rubber eye piece and padded forehead rest. The pistol grips and heat shield are a matching reddish brown in color while the remainder of the tube is painted black. The trigger group retains its original natural aluminum finish. Folding iron sights are still present consisting of a crude protective post front sight with a rear sight graduated in adjustment from 200 to 500 meters. It currently sports the correct tan canvas sling with both end covers present. Folding bipod is mounted directly behind the front sight, forward of the trigger group. It is accompanied by several display rockets and two complete RPG faded green gunner’s pouches complete with cleaning kit, inert rockets, inert booster rockets in their original green plastic cases. RPG-7 measures 37.5” in length with rockets measuring 25.5” long. Rocket boosters are 11.5” in length. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 4 inert rockets, 3 booster rockets, 4 booster rocket transport tubes (2 plastic, 2 waxed cardboard), 2 RPG cleaning kits located in 2 green canvas RPG gunner pouches, 1 – 20” RPG-2 inert rocket. CONDITION: this RPG-7 is in far nicer condition than any thing typically experienced in the field. Grip panels and heat shield bear only light signs of handling upon the closest inspection. Black painted tube retains complete consistent coverage with only significant thinning at mechanical intervention at bipod. Most markings on rockets and boosters are clear and easy to read bearing both Circle 10 and Circle 11 marks. (02-16275-3/JZ). $800-1,200.

Jekot’s unit became one of only two squadrons re equipped with the new F4U-1D Corsair, under advisement from Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh was then a technical representative and consultant for Chance-Voight Aircraft Division. Mr. Lindbergh demonstrated how Marine pilots could take off safely with the Corsair’s bomb load for fighter bomber duty and the squadron was redesignated. In early Jan. 1945, while serving with VMF(B)-331 at NAS Majuro in the Marshall Islands, Lt. Jekot was piloting an F4U-1D and was involved in a mid-air collision with an SBD-6 from VSMB-245. This destroyed both aircraft but Lt. Jekot survived. Later, he was transferred in early 1945 to help reconstitute the decimated squadron and, flew with Marine Fighter Ace, Capt. Jefferson DeBlanc MoH. Additionally, the squadron hosted Mr. Lindbergh who had, accompanied them on 3 strike missions. It was during this period, flying with VMF-422 and VMF-223 that Lt. Jekot, was recommended and qualified for an Air Medal in the Nansei Islands campaign. He flew CAP missions in the Marshall Islands, aboard the escort carriers USS Sitkoh Bay (CVE 86) and the USS Breton (CVE 23), The Battle of Okinawa, the Japanese home island of Kyushu and the east coast of China Lt. Jekot stayed in the Marine Corps Reserves with squadron VMF-121, deployed to Korea in October 1951, and flew some of the first missions of the new A-2 Skyraider. After this, the now Capt.
