Commission On Expensive Items & Valuable Collections
Our company’s roots in honesty and integrity were planted nearly 70 years ago with the auction family’s founders, Arthur and 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 and her husband Stephen Poulin began holding collectibles auctions. The company Julia-Poulin auctioneers guided by Arthur Julia’s core principles of straight forward honest business dealings quickly grew to a well-known regional auction house.
As the family businesses developed together so did the interest from the collecting fraternities. By the early 2000’s the two seperate companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another, creating events that drew interest from across the globe.

Stephen Poulin Treasurer
Together the two companies brought numerous famous collections to the market including; Elmer Keith Estate Collection, Evergreen Ventures Collection of Class-3 weapons, Bruce Stern Collection, Richard Rohal Collection, David Crocker Collection, John Houchins Collection, Robert Haskell III Collection, Larry Schlick Collection, Charles Lamb Collection, Lewis & Leyton Yearout Collection, Elliott Burka Collection & many more. As the two companies client bases melded and grew the event did as well. From 2008 until Jim Julia’s final auction in March 2018 the two companies in Fairfield Maine continuously held the largest grossing firearms auction event in the world generating an astonishing $15-25 MILLION in firearms sales per event.
Today, based on annual sales, our auction house (Poulin’s) is one of the top 4 firearm auction houses in the world. Our established impeccable reputation for honest & fair dealings with both buyers and sellers has been instrumental to our continued growth. We offer a unique 30 business day limited guarantee that provides a greater level of confidence from buyers. After Jim Julia’s last auction we are now the only auction house in the firearms auction industry that offers this incredible guarantee.
Our recent purchase of Jim Julia’s state-of-the-art auction facility and offices will now provide us with over 50,000 square feet of climate controlled and secure space dedicated to the promotion, presentation and efficient handling of fine firearms collections.
I could not be happier continuing to offer quality auctions in our family’s auction facilities. The presentation and atmosphere has been described by many as “electric”, “exciting”, “inviting”, & “comfortable”.
The streamlined handling of collections will continue to allow us to offer the best value to consignors and buyers in
the firearms auction industry. Our seller’s commission is the most conservative in the industry. We regularly offer our 0% or better seller’s commission to clients who are taking advantage of our aggressive marketing campaign and ultra-low seller’s commission.
Arthur Julia taught the family to be honest, modest & fair. As he would explain to me “You do not need to get rich on every consignment. Just make sure that you are pointed in the right direction and look at the big picture.” I hold dear to those words and many others that he shared with me and look forward to continue presenting phenomenal collections and auctions to our clientele.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank you to all of my family and team that has been instrumental in developing our business, & thank you to my mother and father for everything that you have done to get us to where we are today.
Sincerely,
Nick Poulin

1. DESCRIPTIONS: We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. Should the need arise, we will make verbal corrections and provide additional information at the time of sale. A correction to the printed material announced by the auctioneer during the auction takes precedence over printed descriptions. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. Several examples: If we call a Colt a Winchester. Or if we state the firearm is in original finish and it has been re-blued. Percent estimate of finish is an opinion and may vary from individual to individual, so this would not qualify. Not every item included in this auction has been completely disassembled to verify internal component’s origins. However, if we have made the statement that the item is “all matching” or “internal numbers match”, we guarantee that this information is accurate. If an item’s description does not list the status of the internal components, we do not guarantee that they are original, matching or that they are period. If you would like additional information concerning internal components of a firearm that does not mention the internal components in the description, please contact us at 207-453-2114 and our consultants will be happy to assist you at their earliest availability. This limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.
Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves on the age, authenticity, condition, description and value of each lot before bidding. This includes all bidders whether they be here at the live auction, absentee, phone or internet bidders.
1A. FOR PURCHASERS WHO HAVE ITEMS SHIPPED TO THEM: Should there be a major discrepancy as listed in Item 1 above, a refund may be arranged and the buyer would need to make arrangements for the return within 30 business days of the auction date. as 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 2-3 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. 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 at 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.

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.

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).

*IF CONTACT CANNOT BE MADE WITH THE BUYER TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PAYMENT AND SHIPPING WITHIN 18 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE AUCTION THE AUCTIONEER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO OFFER THE ITEM TO THE UNDERBIDDER.

*We accept Absentee & Phone bids with the condition that bids are written clearly and that a lot number & brief description of each lot is written out. (i.e.: Lot 101 – Colt Woodsman Revolver – $850.00). It is necessary that this format is followed to be sure that we can check for accidental errors that are made by the absentee bidders with an incorrectly written lot number resulting in the purchase or bidding on an incorrect lot. PLEASE NOTE: IF A BIDDER MISIDENTIFIES A LOT NUMBER OR ITEM THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON RESULTING IN THE PURCHASE OF THE LOT(S) IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER TO PAY FOR THE PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH HE MADE AN ERROR WHEN BIDDING ON THE LOT(S). Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. is not responsible for these errors with absentee bids.
*Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. shall not be held responsible for any failure to properly execute an absentee or phone bid whether it be due to equipment failure, lack of description on bid form, clerical error, loss of connection or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions, etc.
*Absentee and Phone bidders must review their bids for correctness prior to submitting their bid(s). If you supply an email address, when the bids are processed here, you will then be sent a copy of your processed bids. Please review this and determine if any corrections should be made. Notify us immediately with any corrections or changes you may have. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. will not be responsible for errors in absentee bids.
*If you do not receive confirmation by email/phone within 24 hours of submitting your bids please, contact our office. We would hate to have you miss your items because we did not receive your bids.

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.
*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
(207) 453-2114 |
is more than one bid at the book. If there is more than one bid then the bidding will be started above the under bidders. Example: We have a bid for $1500 and one at $3000. The bidding will then start at $1600 and will then be bid competitively to the limit the absentee bidder set. For this reason it is possible that an absentee bidder may get their item for much less than what they bid. In the case of two bids being the same amount the bidding will start at that amount and the winner shall be the person who left the bid first.
*Please note: Being the first ABSENTEE BIDDER does not guarantee that you will be the winning bidder if the floor, phone or internet bidding ties during the live auction. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. The date and time that you submit a bid only determines the winning bidder between two absentee bidders with the same amount participating through the same method or platform.
*We do our best to execute all bids correctly however, errors are made at times. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute a bid, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.
*All left bids are considered confidential, and as such the names of the absentee bidders and the bid amounts will not be given out.
*Please call prior (at least 48 hours) to the 1st day of the auction to get any information or inquiry reports pertaining to the items.
*We will not accept a bid that does not have an amount associated with it. We have had people on occasion tell us to buy the lot for them no matter what it goes for. We suggest that you place a bid substantially higher than the estimate and what you would be comfortable in paying for it. We do not want to be responsible for your personal choice of amount.
*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.
*Also Please Note: Please call in advance (at least 48 hours) of the auction if you need conditions or descriptions of the items. Staff members who are calling to handle your phone bids will not be able to answer questions pertaining to condition or description during the auction.
*The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as not to miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that takes place can and has interfered with customers bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.
*If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints.
*Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank you for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to
insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answers to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.
*Cover Me Bids: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another to get through to the client on the telephone. A “Cover Me Bid” is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.
*Stop Point Bids: A staff member will contact you within 3-5 items prior to the item that you are interested in bidding on. We ask that you consider a “Stop Point”. This is a designated amount you wish the staff member to bid up to on this item for you. Because of the noise level that occurs during an auction, this creates less confusion on the phones for us and our customers. Once they reach this “Stop Point” amount they will then query you for the next desired amount that the auctioneer is asking for. You can then bid higher or stop if you so desire.
15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid.com, 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. There is a 4% charge to use their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.
*Review all lots that interest you at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Sometimes we find a “change” in condition or listing. We cannot notify each person individually, so what we do is remove the photo and place a statement “No bids accepted online. Please call office to place bids.”
*Please Note: These online platforms tell you when you are the highest absentee bidder. This is only within their platform. AuctionZip, Invaluable, Proxibid, & 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.

If you are paying by Credit Card for your purchase, please make sure you check the appropriate box for this or remark somewhere on your bid sheet that we are to charge your card for purchases as well as your shipment. If you have done this and included all your paperwork for your items, then your invoice will go right to shipping and be at the “TOP” of the shipping list. Otherwise successful bidders will be notified in one of the following manners: If payment is not received within 18 days after the auction, Poulins reserves the right to charge the credit card attached to the bidders registration.

Collecting Class III Weapons can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. In the United States, many but not all citizens of the U.S. have the right to purchase and own machine guns. This is true in most states of the United States, but not all states. It is your specific responsibility to determine your right to own and possess a Class III weapon before you bid on it. Once you have bid on a lot and won it, you are responsible for payment of that lot, regardless of whether you can own it or not. If you have purchased a lot and later find out that because of the state you live in or for other reasons that you cannot personally own it yourself, you will still be required to pay for the object and we will obviously have to sell it for you again at a future sale.
First and foremost, All NFA Rules Apply. All Class III firearms must be registered and properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. Class III Firearms we may be dealing with include the following: Machine Guns (MG), (Transferable, Pre-86 Dealer Samples and Post-86 Dealer Samples), Silencers, Destructive Devices (DD), Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS) and Any Other Weapon (A.O.W.). If you are an individual who resides in an area where these firearms are legal, you may bid on these items. You are responsible for knowing your State and Local laws. In order to complete the purchase of a Class III Firearm to a non-licensed individual, you will need the following:
1) 2 passport photos
2) 2 sets of fingerprints
3) 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.

Donald Dean “Duck” Combs, born February 14, 1937 in Redding, was given the nickname “Duck” by a fun-loving uncle in reference to Donald Duck, who was introduced by Walt Disney in the same year. “Duck” grew up on farms in Rural Ringgold and Taylor counties, where he developed a love for the outdoors and sports. His passion for sports, hunting, fishing, bird-dogs, and appreciation for nature were encouraged by his family and remained with him throughout his life.
After graduating High School in 1955, where he excelled in baseball and basketball, he married Judy Stewart at Prescott, Iowa. Don and Judy worked together to earn college degrees from Northwest Missouri State University where he enjoyed playing semi-pro softball on Maryville, Missouri, teams.
Don started a 35-year teaching/coaching career at Prescott, Iowa. He taught American history and other social studies courses and taught many students to drive. He was a fierce competitor and coached like he played. The teams he coached were known for their excellent physical condition, hustle, competitive spirit, and “never-give-up” style of play. Don was inducted into the Iowa Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1992.
Don loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his life. His passion was quail hunting with his English pointer and German shorthair dogs that he raised and trained. He hunted ducks many years with buddies from Missouri and enjoyed several fishing trips to Minnesota and Canada.
Starting in 1988, he and Judy purchased the first of three parcels of land in Davis County. They established many conservation practices, planted thousands of trees, reestablished prairie grasses, built ponds and restored two log cabins from the mid-1800s.
Don collected firearms and sporting collectibles his entire adult life. He specialized in Winchester Model 12 & Model 42 shotguns, however in recent years; he built a collection of Remington Model 12 rifles. Ever the competitor, he started creating displays and competing in gun shows. His displays included related accoutrements and advertising that he constantly searched to find. These displays won many awards at major gun shows throughout the country, including “Best of Show” five times with five different displays at the prestigious Colorado Trophy Show in Denver.
In 1990, he collaborated with Ned Schwing to publish the book
“The Model 42 Winchester”, which featured many of his 42s and has become a well-known reference for collectors. Duck was a life member of the National Rifle Association, longtime member of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, the Winchester Arms Collectors, the Remington Society of America, as well as several other associations. For many years he was active in Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, and Ducks Unlimited. He was a 61-year member of Circle Lodge Number 555, A.F. and A.M., in Prescott, Iowa.
“Duck” was a people person as he loved interacting with people of all ages whether he knew them or not. He gleaned information from “old-timers” and fellow collectors as he sought them out at gun shows and auctions. In recent years he enjoyed making new friends with members of the Amish community, who were a great source of strength in his final months.
Poulin’s is extremely proud to bring Don’s collection to the auction venue and be able to provide a fabulous opportunity for firearm enthusiasts & collectors to acquire one or more examples from this wonderful collection.

Born in 1938, Jerry lived his entire life on the same sheep farm in southwest Oklahoma. He travelled across the country in the 1950’s showing his Southdown sheep professionally His obvious love for the sheep-life lasted him a lifetime. On his farm, Jerry built a feedlot, raising and selling many breeds from coast to coast. As time passed, Jerry became one of the first farmers to obtain Boer goats when they were introduced into the United States from their southern Africa place of origin.
When Jerry was 9, he received a gift from his Grandfather, his very first rifle. This extraordinary gift triggered a lifelong love that molded Jerry into the man he became. For those fortunate enough to know Jerry and call him friend, they also called him the “Old Goat Gun Trader”.
Jerry became an entrepreneur of antique guns and a member of many gun clubs. His favorites were the Winchester 1873 together with Colt pistols. He followed this passion that drove him and as such, Jerry travelled for many years to gun shows all over the United States selling and trading rifles and pistols. He was well known at the shows and knew the answer to most gun questions that were asked of him.
Jerry loved to talk to anyone who would listen about his many lifetime adventures and share in his experiences. Jerry will be greatly missed at the shows but will always remain as “Old Goat Gun Trader”.
Poulin Firearms is exceptionally honored to have the opportunity to bring to auction the personal collection of Jerry Senter. We hope that you enjoy Jerry’s collection as much as he did and remember that we are all temporary custodians of these fine firearms.

(October 13, 1952 – March 15, 2023)
Known as Mr. Gun Sport, he was born at Georgetown Hospital in Washington, D.C., delivered, according to his mother, by the same doctor who delivered JFK.
Jon was the only child of Anna Mae (Taylor) Thomas and Robert Wilbur Thomas. He spent his first 12 years in Arlington, Virginia, a stone’s throw from D.C., where his mother worked at the Pentagon.
Jon recounted many stories about roaming the halls of the Pentagon on Saturdays and going through the filing offices where he read autopsy reports and looked through official biographies of Medal of Honor recipients. He would say that security was such that if his mom had wanted to sneak out any kind of documents in his Boy Scout yucca rucksack, she could have.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ann and Jon pulled up stakes and headed to Randolph Air Force Base and bought a home in Schertz, Texas. It was there that Jon realized his dream of living in the wide-open spaces of Texas, complete with rattlesnakes, prairie dogs, cow skulls, and tumbleweeds.
Jon missed half his sixth-grade year due to mono. It was Ann Thomas to the rescue with a copy of The Shooter’s Bible and a copy of Gun Digest. Jon devoured them cover to cover and committed all gun knowledge to memory. He worked and saved two years to purchase a Belgian Auto-5 shotgun and a Savage 99 rifle in .270. During his high school years, he worked on a survey team so he could carry a .357 revolver.
He graduated early to enlist at seventeen in the Marine Corps. It was the tail end of Viet Nam.
When the Drill Instructors at Camp Lejeune saw what an excellent marksman he was, they kept him stateside to train recruits in riflery. He was honorably discharged with the rank of -5 which he referred to as a “glorified grunt”.
After the Marines, Jon went to Sam Houston State University where he majored in playing pool and decided that college was not for him. He ended up clerking and gunsmithing at the Sportsman’s Bailiwick in San Antonio’s Alamo Heights area and progressed through the ranks. He started Thomas and Barrett Fine Guns in 1978 when he was twenty-six.
When the partnership dissolved, Jon put his credentials out for hire. That brought him to Odessa in 1984 to manage The Sportsman’s Den on Andrews Highway. It was there that a young cowgirl came in
to buy a rifle-and Jon was smitten. She was the first gal he had met who knew the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. He married Dolly Donaldson in September of 1985 (much to her sisters’ dismay) and they have shared a life of love and adventure for 37 years.
When Jon was handed his pink slip in 1989. It was no problem-Gun Sport Ltd. was born on a napkin in the kitchen of a small house on Crescent Drive. He made the gun show circuit-Houston, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Nashville-to acquire inventory. The first shop was on the second floor in a tiny office building, and sales were by appointment only because of his gun show schedule.
A few years later he bought the larger building at Dixie and University where he opened a full retail showroom with normal business hours. Jon’s 1975 brown and white Chevy Blazer was the “Open” sign. Jon loved buying and selling quality firearms and educating anyone who was willing to learn about the shooting sports.
Jon was also a Life-Member of TGCA, #261, and was well known in the collector community. His knowledge and friendship will be missed, but his spirit carries on in those who he touched.
In 1993, after seven years together, Jon and Dolly welcomed Miss Sarah Ruth, a blue-eyed blondeheaded baby who looked just like her “Papa.”. His philosophy of child rearing was to lecture loudly and carry a big ice cream scoop.
On was an avid reader and history scholar. He studied the tactics of generals, the policies of diplomats, and the rudiments and progressions of civilizations. His keen memory kept a catalogue of historical figures, dates and places, and film quotes. It could be said that he was a Renaissance man. Jon Thomas enjoyed many
13, 1952 – March 15, 2023)
hunting activities, but he especially loved upland bird hunting, travelling widely to pursue dove, quail, and Hungarian partridge. Though he shot all gauges well, he excelled with his personal favorite – a Grulla Armas matched pair in .28 and .410.
In 2019 Jon was diagnosed with Stage 4 renal failure and began 3 ½ years of dialysis. He kept his spirits high by electing evening dialysis so he could work at Gun Sport during the day. His recent 19-day hospital stay began with a blood infection that led to heart failure.
Jon had no trouble expressing his love for family and friends. He was a God-honoring man.
Jon leaves us with no question of his love. Semper Fidelis.
Gun Sport Ltd. was a staple in the industry not to just those in Texas, but across the country. Poulin Firearms is exceptionally honored to have been selected to bring these firearms to public auction.
COLLECTION INDEX:
Terrence was born in Miami, Florida in 1944. His life-long passion for firearms was certainly fostered by my father, who was a full Col. in USAF. Besides being stationed at Okinawa, the family also lived in Washington, DC and Omaha, Nebraska before returning to Miami in the mid-60s. Terry received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University, an MBA at University of South Florida and worked for IBM. He enlisted into the USAF during the Vietnam war and was Honorably discharged as a Stg.
During our time at Offutt Airforce base in Omaha, he joined the local NRA and was known for his marksmanship. It was during the late 90s, that he earnestly began collecting and dealing in firearms and was frequently an exhibitor at the various Florida guns shows as well as Knob Creek. He was a long-term member and range officer at the Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club. His interest in arms was eclectic, but with an eye on value, particularly for machine guns.
In dealing with his estate, I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of his gun friends. Truly his most important legacy, to me, is the new friends I have made. I asked Keith, being one of Terry’s closet friends if he would say a few words about my brother, as he knew him not only as a rifleman but a true friend, such follows:
“Terry was normally a private person. That changed when firearms were the topic of discussion. His conversation opener to the public was his gun show tables topped with a multi-shot 25mm Manville Gas Gun, Reising Model 55 with Paramarine Jump Case, or a few Jatimatic SMG’s. His opener with his shooting friends was “what do you think of …….”. He was always eager to learn and invited
others to enjoy his passion. He was an avid supporter of the Second Amendment and spent many hours at the local gun club helping with the facilities and running matches, the monthly SMG competition being one of his favorites. In his residential neighborhood, he invited families to the range to learn safe gun handling skills and marksmanship. Being considerate of the lives of his customers, Terry was thoughtful to recognize the family and even the pets of his customers. He was the nicest and most generous friend I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet.
It is said you are not gone until folks stop telling stories about you. I can tell you first-hand that Terry is going to be around for a long time.”
I sincerely hope that you will find the same kind of appreciation for Terry’s collection that my brother and dive buddy did. I will miss him dearly.
Enjoy, John McCarty
Poulin Antiques & Auctions is extremely proud to bring Terry’s collection to auction. While reviewing the inventory, we have discovered a treasure trove or firearms, parts & accessories that we are very excited to share with you. This is one of many upcoming sessions in which we will be offering a large variety of rare, unique & nearly impossible to find firearms, parts & accessories.
When Charles (Charlie) Wagner was 14 years old in 1953, he purchased a 25 cent raffle ticket at a school festival. That lucky ticket won for him his first gun, and as he proudly carried that rifle home, he knew that it was the beginning of a lifelong passion. A few months later he rode his bicycle (being still too young to drive a car) to a gun store so that he could spend his paycheck on a British Enfield pistol. He then pedaled back home with his new pistol and ammo in the basket on his bicycle. Two months later he had earned enough money to go back to the store for a K98 Mauser rifle which he carried under his arm as he biked back to his house. He proceeded to collect guns for almost 70 years, amassing world class collections of FN High Powers, Walther PPKs, Radoms, and Lugers. While handguns were his main focus, he also acquired excellent examples of many types of rifles and holsters. At the end of his life he had amassed over 500 guns and over 400 holsters. His children have kept some of his pieces as a part of his legacy but, given the enormity of the collection, they will be parting with some over the next few years so that other collectors can enjoy the pieces that meant so much to him.
For over 60 years he was a regular participant at gun shows all across the country and truly enjoyed spending time with others who shared his passion for firearms. He would be happy to know that many of his favorite pieces will find their way back into the collecting community.
Charlie didn’t just collect; he loved learning and researching about the history of his firearms. He relished becoming an expert on a topic and would gladly talk for hours with others who shared his passion. His drive to learn everything there is to know about his firearms pushed him to become one of the most knowledgeable people in the country on the FN High Power. He served as President of the Browning Collector’s Association, and attended gun shows all over the country with his FN High Power display (winning many awards such as 2001’s Best of Show at Kansas City’s National Summer Arms Show and 1st Place at the 2015 National Gun Day in Louisville, KY).
Poulin Auctions is extremely honored to bring a selection of Charles’ collection to the auction venue.
Jim’s love of collecting firearms began early. Over the years, this love became his passion.
His strong interest in Colt’s was one that propelled him to become part of the Colt Collector’s Club in Minnesota. Not only was he a member, he was President of the Northern Minnesota club for 8 years. He would have loved to have remained President, however, due to health issues, he had to resign.
Even though his most favorite gun to collect was 2nd Generation Colt Single Actions (nickel, of course), Jim was extremely interested in WWII Lugers including carbines. However, Jim also enjoyed pre-war firearms as you will see from the collection presented here.
Poulin Auctions is proud to bring Jim’s collection to the auction venue for all collectors to have the opportunity to add one or more of his pieces to their own collection.

Growing up in north central North Dakota, where you can see the Canadian and snow geese flying through the big blue skies, it was easy to become a hunting enthusiast. The small rural town of Mohall is where my childhood started in 1944. Looking out the back window to the north, you can see Canada and the magic of the Northern Lights.
Upon graduation from high school, (where I may or may not have graduated with honors… our class was so small, we honored each other). I bought my first Ruger with money I earned while working after school and weekends. In 1962, the Ruger 256 WIN MAG Hawkeye sold for $87.50. Over the past 60 plus years, I have collected Number 1 Ruger, 77 Ruger, Red Label and Gold Label shotguns and handguns. Additionally, I collected Winchester, Marlin, Savage and Remington guns. But, my all-time favorites will always be the Ruger.
Leaving Mohall, I attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the U of M with a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1969. I knew my draft number was up so instead of waiting for the mailman to tell me I was going be join the military, I enlisted
Dentistry is a profession I thoroughly enjoyed, but the outdoors was and still is my passion. I am an avid hunter, both waterfowl and small game, and an expert fly fisherman. I was often featured on a regional TV show with Tony Dean. During my dental career, I found great joy in organizing fly fishing seminars for the dental community. For twelve years, dentists would gather, fish, talk shop, and appreciate nature in all its glory in Canada. Throughout this journey, it’s always been about the people; the patients, the dentists, my family and the building of a camaraderie to experience nature. I worked with Game and Fish to establish a world class trout fishing experience in the Manitoba, Canada Parkland Region.
Hunting and fishing are my passions but hunting and fishing have double meanings in my life. The “hunt” for the next gun filled my days when the snow flew and the temperatures dipped across this great prairie and I was always “fishing” for the next good deal, looking for unique and unusual items to fill my collection.
in the Army in 1969 and served at Fort Huachuca and was shipped off to Vietnam. I have so many stories to tell about my days in Nam. It’s the people I met that are my lasting memories. In 1971, I finished my service and I moved to Bismarck, ND where I practiced dentistry for 50 years.
Octobers are spent at “duck camp” where my brothers and I gather in our hometown of Mohall to hunt upland birds and waterfowl. The remainder of the year, I travel between my homes in Bismarck and the Black Hills of South Dakota, where I enjoy fly fishing in the lakes and streams.
who was an old-time dealer who had a vast knowledge of all types of muzzle loading firearms. Lewis’ passion has been for muzzle loaders both percussion and flint and later he became an expert with the long bow and over the years harvested a vast number of animals including a huge black bear which is listed in the Manitoba, Canada record book (this exact black bear will be included in the auction). Because of his great passion and love for guns, all during the time he was a doctor, he bought and sold from time to time but in early 2000, Lewis quit his medical practice and went to work for his wife!
Ruth Ann was the absolute love of his life. They met and married in 1989. She was a beautiful woman with an incredible work ethic and she was sharp as a tack. She as well as Lewis developed a great reputation for business and success in the firearms world. Initially, a great deal of their business dealt with very high-end accessories associated with quality sporting arms. (A number of examples of these things will be included in our various sales). Once Lewis left his medical practice, he then became full-time in the acquisition and selling of fine firearms and sporting accessories but flying continued to be a passion.
After the Deep Water Horizon oil spill, Lewis went to work in the Gulf of America flying the DC-3, DC-3T, DC-4 spray planes that helped to disperse the oil spill and continued working part-time flying in the Gulf, for the next 8 years, after which he returned to Murray State University and earned his B.S. in Biology in 2017.
Poulin Auction Company together with myself, Jim Julia, are exceedingly pleased and proud to have the honor in marketing the Lewis Drake Collection. The offering includes the inventory of Lewis Drake’s business together with some personal items. After approximately 40 years in the business, Lewis has decided to close his business and we will be selling many of his items in the Premier Firearms Auction in May. Other items will be dispersed at various online sales throughout the year also.
I have known of Lewis Drake and his wonderful reputation for a number of years and had done business with him on occasion but never had the chance to spend an extended amount of time with him until we were preparing for this auction. I am only sorry that Lewis was not my next-door neighbor. He is such an interesting and honorable man. Lewis is a lifelong resident of Kentucky and in his youth attended Columbia Military Academy graduating in 1961. He then went directly to Murray State University and eventually graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1966, receiving his BS degree in Chemical Engineering. Although many of the members of his family were physicians, Lewis initially decided he wanted to become a chemical engineer. He initially worked with the Ashland Oil and Refining Company in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. Then he went to Penwalt Chemical Company in Calvert City, Kentucky. Lewis has always been passionate about flying and obtained his commercial flying license in 1968 and later got his ATP license. After working as a chemical engineer during the day, in the evening, he would fly freight for Skyway. After a number of years working as a chemical engineer, Lewis decided he would like to enter the medical field and despite his age, he was able to get into a medical school and get his MD degree from the University of Kentucky in the 1980’s. He practiced as an Ob/Gyn in Murray, Kentucky for approximately 20 years. Lewis always loved firearms and started his business in the mid-1980’s. As a youth, he had spent a fair amount of time with Turner Kirkland,
453-2114
As a side note, Lewis’ father during WWII flew the C-47 which is the military designation for the DC-3. His father unfortunately died in the service of his country flying the C-47. Lewis is a detail-oriented person and skilled machinist. As such, he could repair firearms, making cartridge casings, and bullet molds for the 8-bore and 4-bore rifles. Over the years, Lewis and his wife made an incredible amount of friends through his business and together annually they would host a special gathering of many friends and clients at their Kentucky home.
In addition to developing a vast amount of friends and clients in the business, Lewis has always been noted as handling quality firearms and during his lifetime he has handled a vast array
of very impressive firearms. Lewis explained one of his early exciting discoveries was a rare 4-bore rifle that belonged to H.M. Stanley, “Dr. Livingston, I presume”. This was the very gun that Stanley carried with him in the search for Dr. Livingston. Lewis shared with me that a valued client of his who frequently purchased firearms from him, one day called up and indicated that he wanted to sell a few firearms. They discussed the various
guns he wanted to sell and prices and one of the items was this 4-bore rifle. Lewis agreed to purchase the items over the phone for the client’s asking price but when he arrived to pick up the guns, the seller mentioned to Lewis, “By the way, I forgot that 4-bore supposedly used to belong to H.M. Stanley and was used when he found Livingston”. Lewis had not previously known this and indicated to the client that he probably wanted more money
in light of this information but the client said that he was sticking by the price he quoted and happy to sell it to Lewis. After a great deal of research, Lewis was able to positively identify and prove that the gun was Stanley’s and eventually sold it to one of his very special clients. It now resides in the NRA Museum.
We are most proud to have been selected by Lewis to handle his firearms and we join with Lewis in hoping that all of these wonderful items will find a great home with many of you.

Mfg. 1861-1874 (77,155 units) with unfluted 6 rd. cylinder having patent dates around its circumference at the midpoint. Referred to as No. 2 Old Army, yet none were for military contract.

Matching numbered Rosewood grips plus “GG8” on cylinder, barrel and lower left side of back strap under grips. Later production model as evidenced by 3 pins in top strap. Although engraving is not signed (Nimschke only signed 15% of handguns that he engraved), it is certainly of the Nimschke “New York” style having foliate scrollwork with rounded terminals. Louis D. Nimschke (1832-1904) trained in Germany under masters Ernst Moritz and Gustav Ernst before coming to America in 1853 where he began his prolific career in New York City. It is referenced that he engraved about 5,000 firearms and other pieces from 1850 to 1900 (about 2 per week!). His work is even recognized by the Smithsonian Institute. He created many “pulls” from his engravings as well as from other engravers which are compiled in a work book given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on its 150th Anniversary (2018) by the Robert M. Lee Foundation. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: good presentation case of nicely grained wood that appears to be Rosewood; light weather checks following the grain plus very light scratches throughout.

Jenkins, CMA, “Late in 1980, when Olin Corporation was in the process of selling the Winchester Division to the newly formed U.S. Repeating Arms Co., the company sold off some of its miscellaneous inventory to Olin employees. At the time I was shooting on a rifle team with an engineer from the Winchester Division, and I was working for the Olin Chemicals Research Group which was located across the street from the old Winchester factory. / This engineer, David Lin, told me that the Winchester Custom Shop, which hand built all of their match rifles, had built six Model 70 Army International Match rifles in cal. 30-06 Springfield. The rifle was listed in the catalog as being built only in .308 Win. However, John Brault, who headed the Custom Shop, was certain that someone would want these rifles in his favorite caliber (30-06), so he had his crew build six of them. They never sold, of course, because they were not in the catalog. / These rifles were part of the miscellaneous inventory being sold. Five Winchester engineers bought them, and I bought the sixth one. The belief that only one was ever built in 30-06 Springfield is erroneous, as this rifle proves. This rifle comes with a copy the original bill of sale and original factory instructions. It is extremely accurate, and has less than 500 rounds fired through it.”.
