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.

Arthur & Lilla Julia

Founders

Jeannine Poulin

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

TERMS & CONDITIONS

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

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.

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.

& CONDITIONS

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

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

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

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

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

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

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

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

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

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

*After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

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

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

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

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

*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

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

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.

25. BIDDING ON ARTICLE(S) INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ALL OF THE TERMS & CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASER TO SATISFY THEMSELVES AS TO THE CONDITION, AGE, AUTHENTICITY, LEGALITIES AND VALUE OF AN ITEM BEFORE BIDDING ON IT.

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.

Norman Greenberg (1934

– 2025)

Norman, to his friends Norm, was born in Decatur, Illinois in 1934. He passed away in April 2025. What he left behind was a legacy to his profession, his community, and to the Americana collecting fraternity.

Norm graduated from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 1957. Along with his wife, Harriet, owned and operated Rambo Pharmacy in Decatur, Illinois for 48 years until retirement. During those years he achieved great business success and gave back to his community. He helped to establish the Macon County Conservation District, to protect the natural and cultural heritage of the area for public use and not for commercial development. He helped to establish a low-income health clinic and Planned Parenthood of Macon County. He was on the Board of Directors for the local YMCA and the Macon County Board of Supervisors. He even had a local health-centered radio program.

He received the Young Man of the Year award from the Decatur Jaycees and the Bowl of Hygeia for the state of Illinois, an award for outstanding community service. Norman was also a founding chapter president of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists for Illinois. He was a life member of the NRA, Illinois Rifle Association, The Decatur Gun Club, Okaw Valley Muzzleloaders, many other firearm collector organizations, and Temple B’nai Abraham.

All the while doing all of this, Norm was an avid history buff and developed an amazing collection of historic firearms, especially Colt (SAA), Sharps and Winchester rifles, western leather goods, powder horns and flasks, and many other western related items. Like many kids of his time, he grew up watching westerns on TV. He especially loved John Wayne, and anything associated with Wyatt Earp as most American youth did at the time. Norm belonged to an organization called Orville Dunham Antique Gun Collectors Association which he was a member of until his death. My father befriended, purchased firearms and was mentored by some of the great firearm collectors of Central Illinois. Names such as Tom Carter, Charlie Ferguson, Frank Hubbard Sr., Don Bryan, Jerry White, Bob Newsome, Howard Becker, Tom Olsen and Bruce Burtner. As Norm’s son, growing

up around all of this instilled into me a great love of firearms and all that goes along with it. What he taught me was that what really matters is not the item itself but the people you meet and the stories that are told! Of particular note: Meeting Gaines deGraffenried, former curator of the Homer Garrison Memorial Museum at Fort Fisher at Waco Texas, now known as the Texas Ranger Museum. I was one of the first children outside of his family to see his collection and home. Meeting Marion Sturdevant in the hills of Arkansas. He turned out to be a friend of Ronald Reagan’s and used to hunt with him. My father taught me the importance of meeting people and learning from them. That’s what collecting is really about.

Norm and beloved wife Harriet planted the seeds of making connections with people, love of history and the love of state, federal and local parks in their children, Michele and Aric.

The firearm that started it all for Norm was a Marlin .22 Cal. Golden 39-A Mounted with a scope and his last purchased firearm was a cased Colt 1861 Army that belonged to a Jewish merchant from Santa Fe, New Mexico. His most prized firearm was the Wyatt Earp Colt SAA which is being offered for sale.

With the offering of the esteemed Norman Greenberg Collection at auction, these personal treasures are being presented to the next caretakers for them to enjoy and preserve their history for generations to come. I know this would make Norm very happy.

COLLECTION INDEX:

Estate of Russell Dickerman

Russell Dickerman lead a fantastic life. When he was a teenager in Somerville Mass, he decided that school wasn’t for him. He packed up his 2 rifles and walked all the way up to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He found work at a cabin rental business as a dishwasher. The property owners knew his family as the Dickerman’s had summered at the cabins quite often. They called his folks who waited until the weekend to drive up and bring him home. He knew that he wanted to live at the family farm in Milford NH.

While there, he decided to enlist in the Air Force. While there, he served at bases in California, Florida, the Phillipines and Africa. After his time in the airforce, he joined the reserves. He was called up for the Cuban Missle crisis for 2 weeks. He worked at Grenier Air Force Base in Manchester NH for many years as a sheet metal mechanic. When the base closed, he was transferred to the New Boston Air Force Satellite Tracking Station until his retirement.

Russ was a Lifetime Member of the NRA beginning in the 1960’s. He was an avid shooter, reloader and deer hunter.

His entire adult life included buying and trading guns; restoring them and researching their history. He also had quite an inventory of gun accessories such as 40 cartridge reloading tools, scopes, slings, bayonets and so much more.

He was a collector of antique cars and all manners of antiques. He owned 5 corvettes; 1954, 1957 , 1958, 1962, and 1965. He drove the ’65 daily, year round for 40 years! And it was a convertible! He owned a 1948 Indian mortorcycle that he drove to Florida and back to NH in the winter 1949.

He restored his colonial circa 1800 home and barn along with his wife Geri. One half of the second floor of the home was made specifically for his gun collection!

After serving in the airforce, he joined the reserves. He was called up for the cuban Missle crisis for 2 weeks. After, he worked at Grenier Air

Force Base in Manchester NH for many years as a sheet metal mechanic. When the base closed, he was transferred to the New Boston Air Force Satellite Tracking Station until his retirement. Russ and Geri worked to restore the old town of Monson NH that was on land that they owned in Hollis NH which they eventually donated to the Society of New Hampshire Forests which keeps the property and it’s history intact. They worked using donations to rebuild the last remaining house left in the small town and the grounds around it. Geri grew a beautiful flower garden next to the old house which was enjoyed by the many visitors who hiked the grounds of the old town. Russ became the town historian and had many conversations with folks over the years. To this day, the town is under the care of a dear friend of Russ’s who worked along side of him over the years keeping the property in good shape.

His legacy lives on through his nephew’s love of firearms and hunting. Russ and Geri are greatly missed but the mark they have left on this earth is also in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.

Noah’s Motors

Celebrating Over 50 Years

After more than five decades in business, Noah’s Motors (NMSAMA Mfg.) of Saugus, Massachusetts is closing its doors. Established in 1973 by owner and gunsmith Harry Cakounes, the shop first built its reputation around HarleyDavidson Motorcycles before, in the late 1980s, shifting focus to military firearms, memorabilia, and related equipment.

Harry, a U.S. Army veteran (1969–1976, Specialist E5), was awarded Expert qualification with the M-14 rifle. His service shaped both his skills and his passion, and Noah’s Motors quickly became known as the trusted place to service and restore military rifles.

Over the years, Noah’s Motors became widely recognized as a destination for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The shop earned a reputation not only for its skilled service, restoration, and manufacturing of firearms, but also for assembling a collection of rare, historically significant, and expertly crafted pieces.

As Noah’s Motors concludes this chapter, we are proud to partner with Poulin’s Auction to share the shop’s remarkable inventory with enthusiasts around the world. Each item offered reflects the standards, history, and passion that defined Noah’s Motors for more than half a century.

Norman Gene Olliff

Born June 27, 1937, Lebanon, Kansas. Norman grew up on his family’s farm located one mile north of the monument at the geographic center of the 48 states. He attended a one room school through 5th grade. He graduated from Lebanon High School. He is remembered for pranks and always being ready to race, setting speed records that still stand in his area.

His family Doctor never had children of his own, and he liked mentoring Norman who had an interest in learning everything he could. Norman loved guns, hunting, history and listening to people talking about their lives and experiences. He never met a stranger, starting conversations with anyone around him, listening to their stories.

Summers in high school, he worked with a German family in Graham County. He said he learned more from them than any college could have taught him. The Zohner brothers fixed all their own equipment, forging any parts they needed. They also liked to restore old guns and built and repaired clocks and pocket watches. They found Norman was interested in learning and they remained lifetime friends with him.

On November 24, 1957, he married Carol Drake. They had two children, Sheila and Verland. After attending boot camp, he worked for the Smith County ASCS – later named the Farm Service Agency. Norman became the County Executive Director at the Norton FSA office where he worked for 39 years and 7 months, retiring with honors in November 1996.

His passion for shooting prairie dogs, started with a Future Farmers of America pest contest in 1951. He loved taking people out to shoot. That wis how he became good friends with Herman Bockstrock and Bill Schwertfeger who worked for Olin Winchester. Herman was a plant manager and worked directly with Henry Olin. Norman had the opportunity to purchase Winchester items and guns from both Herman and Bill when they retired. Norman had prairie dog hunting down to a science, from his old hunting Suburban to his guns. He had agreements with farmers to control the dogs and often shot over 300 dogs in a day.

Norman was passionate about the Second Amendment and for years never missed attending an NRA convention. He was a big supporter and Founder Member of the NRA Whittington Center at Raton, NM. He was hunting deer, pheasants, and quail in Kansas and antelope in Wyoming every year he was able to. He also shot trap for years. He and Carol both shot at every trap

meet they could, including the ATA National and Kansas and Nebraska State meets. They went to the Las Vegas shoot every year. He reached his goal of shooting over 100,000 rocks.

Norman’s gun shop was a meeting place for friends who picked his brain for information about guns, and maybe drank a little Crown Royal. Everyone enjoyed looking at all the items he had collected. He never forgot any details about his shooting or collections. His main collections were guns and .22 boxes (he had over 5000 boxes ranging from 1865 to now). But he also liked and collected knives of all kinds, cartridges, Winchester tools and memorabilia, old pocket watches, old kitchen clocks, rubber tire ashtrays, you name it, he probably had it. He liked to work up loads for his guns. Everyone who visited his basement and vault, said they couldn’t believe how much he had. He loved helping people, whether giving advice on guns or cartridges.

He helped widows by giving them free estimates on guns they inherited and making sure they didn’t get cheated. He is remembered by people and friends all over the country, who liked him. His wife Carol died just before their 60th anniversary in 2017 and his daughter Sheila died in 2024. He married Vesta Hobbs, a longtime friend and collector in 2024. He is missed.

Curtis Spaulding Morse

Dr. Curtis Morse was a lifelong resident of Maine, an ardent student and math professor, an author, collector, woodworker, classical guitar player and business man. He was a caring family member and friend.

Curt earned three Mathematics degrees at the University of New Hampshire: his B.S. cum laude in 1963, M.S. with distinction in 1965, and Ph.D. in 1971. He taught Math at the University of Maine, Orono and Husson University between 1968 and 1999.

In 1975 Curt opened a general line antique shop with a specialty in bottles. He was an avid collector of fine bottles and published several original articles in antique journals. He was a loyal member of the area bottle club in Searsport.

Other interests included custom furniture making, antique cars, and seeking out Low Tiles for his mother, who was known as the “Maine Low Art Tile Lady”. Additionally, he was an aficionado of the artist Salvador Dali and a huge fan of the musician Elvis Presley.

In 2005, Curt married Jean Anne Mahoney, R.N. of Belfast, and together they shared many interests including antiquing and pursuing their creative craft work side by side.

Finally, Curt was intrigued by the history and artistry of European and Islamic arms. This catalog especially highlights Curt’s rare European and Islamic arms collection alongside special artisan “Taj Mahal” gun racks that Curt made by hand with Birdseye maple wood. Poulin Firearms is honored to have been selected by Dr. Morse to bring these true works of art to the auction venue. It is our hope that when they find their next home, they will be appreciated for their history and beauty for years to come.

Charles P. Wagner

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.

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).

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.

Turning the gun over he pointed out a hard to read engraving done in reverse on the trigger guard tang “Mine, not ours”. Slim said it was not only a joke to Carol as a tongue and cheek warning to keep her hands off of the gun, but also something that Clark wanted to show to everyone.

2188. UNUSUAL BOSS SIDELOCK GAME GUN WITH PURDEY SELFOPENING ACTION & EXTRA BARRELS. Cal. 12 Ga. 2-1/2” (both). S# 5633 (1905). A few of these guns are known. It appears that when Boss had a customer that demanded a true “self-opening” action (one that after being fired will still open when lever is released); they went to Purdey’s and purchased a gun “in the white”, which they then finished. Boss did not come up with a truly self-opening action until they modified their standard design by beefing up the cocking levers and adding very powerful “V” springs to their functioning. This Purdey type gun has 30” chopper lump barrels with narrow swamped game rib. Rib is engraved “Boss & Co. 73 St. James’s Street. London”. Tops of barrels are engraved “Sir Joseph Whitworth’s” “Pressed Fluid Steel”. Barrel flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 2-1/2” chambers and Whitworth sheaf of wheat logo on right flat. S#’s are on bottoms of barrels along with “BOSS”. Gun is also fitted with a set of 28” dovetailed barrels in same configuration that are not maker marked. Flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for 2-1/2” chambers and S# 15700 is on bottoms of barrels. Case hardened Beesley patent self-opening sidelock action features automatic safety (“SAFE” inlaid in gold), bushed strikers, gold band tumbler end cocking indicators, Purdey type Wem ejector system and double triggers. Action is engraved in usual Boss house style as most likely accomplished by Sumner featuring fifteen rose bouquets outlined by small scroll. “Boss & Co” is in scrolled ribbon on each lockplate. Trigger guard with rose and scroll on bow has S# in relief on tang. Gun is number 1 of a pair; gold inlaid “1” on top lever, forend tip and rib of original barrels. Well streaked European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-3/8” over checkered wood butt and features drop points, point pattern grip checkering and a gold oval engraved “R.C.” on toeline which has Boss’ usual racey swept profile.

EJECTOR SELF-OPENING GAME GUN. Cal. 12 Ga. 2-1/2”. S# 3003 (1930). Henry Atkin worked for Purdeys until the mid 1870’s when he went on his own. His guns are almost always marked “from Purdey’s” to capitalize on his mentors famous name. Henry Atkin guns are generally always built to the highest standards and in his later guns, he made improvements to the Purdey/Beesley action giving them smoother cocking and ease of opening by reconfiguring the main springs. That feature is incorporated in this gun which has 27” (very popular in the early 30’s) chopper lump barrels fitted with very narrow swamped game rib. Top of rib is engraved “HENRY ATKIN Ltd. (from Purdey’s) 88 Jermyn St. London S.W.”. A gold number “2” is at rear of rib as gun is second gun of a pair. A gold “2” is also found on top lever and forend tip.

Rare and Fine 505 Hoffman (Gibbs)

Magnum Mauser Sporting Rifle Nicely Carved and Engraved

2219. RARE AND FINE 505 HOFFMAN (GIBBS) MAGNUM MAUSER SPORTING RIFLE NICELY CARVED AND ENGRAVED. Cal. 505 Gibbs. S# 129. The Hoffman Arms Company began operating in June 1923 in Cleveland, Ohio; almost the exact date that Griffin & Howe opened in New York. Whereas G&H specialized in custom Springfield rifles; Hoffman concentrated on rifles mostly built on Mauser barreled actions bought (or consigned) “in the white” from W&C Scott of Birmingham. During the formation of the company Hoffman and his partner Harry Snyder (president) gathered a large force of very skilled gunmakers from Colt, Ross and H&H. The guns they built in the early 20’s are among the finest every crafted. This early rifle S# 129 was built in 1924 according to Michael Petrov. It appears that only four or five Hoffman rifles where built in this huge caliber. It has a 26” tapered heavy round barrel fitted with sleeved on sling eye and front sight ramp with slip on hood holding white bead. Four folding leaf express rear sights marked for 50, 150, 200 & 300 yards are in quarter rib with stippled top. Top of barrel is engraved “Hoffman Arms Co. Cleveland, Ohio 129”. Left rear of barrel is engraved “505 Hoffman” “for 505 Gibbs Cartg.” Magnum length commercial Mauser action with square bridge is of the largest available size as used for the 416 Rigby and 505 Gibbs. The receiver ring and top of square bridge are stippled and bolt knob is checkered. Bolt body and extractor are Damascened. Drop box bottom metal is fitted with heavy, deep hinged floor plate with release in trigger guard bow. Floor plate is engraved with shaded scroll surrounding relief game scene of silver inlaid trumpeting elephant under trees. Trigger guard bow is silver inlaid with the monogram “CL”. There are feather bursts surrounding mounting screws and it is thought that this fine engraving is by the renowned Rudolph Kornbrath. Pistol grip stock of lightly figured dense European walnut measures 14” over Silver type pad on 3/8” hard rubber extension. Stock features shadow line right hand cheekpiece, engraved steel grip cap, horn forend tip, silver oval and sling eye. Checkering is very nicely done with carved accents as attributed to stocker John Wright who was recruited from H&H. The carved accents of scrolls that terminate the grip checkering are exceptionally fine. This rifle is pictured and briefly described on page 253 of “Mauser Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles” by Jon Speed et. al. It is also pictured in color on page 425. MEASUREMENTS: WEIGHT: 10 lb. 8 oz. CONDITION: very fine as lightly restored. Metal parts retaining essentially all of a sympathetic rust re-blue. Damascening appears to be original. Stock very lightly refinished retaining fine detail of carving. Checkering has not been re-cut and shows some light wear. Bore is bright and shiny with sharp rifling throughout. Mechanically fine. It appears that a receiver sight was installed on right side of bridge. The holes have been eliminated and a small piece of wood refitted. A superb big bore rifle by America’s foremost maker of the period. (25-2465/MGM). CURIO. $15,000-30,000.

This basic rifle has been dramatically enhanced with superb engraving and some careful stock detailing. This rifle’s description was featured in 1993 “Guns Australia” magazine. The description of the embellishment is as follows: “This gun has a unique history. Previous owner Colin King of Australia commissioned master engraver Bruce Dean to rework the gun with the artfully done reminders of Australia. The trigger guard and floor plate are relief engraved with two of Australia’s favorite game animals, a wild boar and Sambar stag. These are surrounded by Australian flannel flower in intertwined deep relief scroll with a stippled background. A Neidner style steel buttplate was deep relief chiseled and pierced wtih the same flannel flower motif. A toe-line cartridge trap was added and engraved “7x57” and “Mauser”. Finally, to top it all off, the bolt handle was chiseled into a feral goat head with stippled surface and a ring of flannel flowers. The English walnut stock is excellent as professionally re-finished and features a swept pistol grip and shell-lip forearm. Generous, wrap around checkering with mullered borders covers the grip and forearm.” To further refine the description it should be pointed out that there is a black Morocco leather lining behind the superb work on the buttplate. The buttplate and cartridge trap are neatly outlined with incised mouldings. The lettering on the cartridge trap cover is in full relief and is exquisitely done. Other well engraved accents are found on sides of trigger guard bow and more flannel flowers are found on bolt stop. Action screws and cartridge trap screws are also relief carved with flannel flowers. The quality of this work can not be overstated. MEASUREMENTS: WEIGHT: 6 lb. 12 oz.

2233. SCARCE FRED ADOLPH SIGNED SPRINGFIELD SPORTING RIFLE WITH FINE STOCK CARVING AND ENGRAVING. Cal. 30-06. S# 77805. Michael Petrov in “Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century” relates that: “Few 1903 Springfield sporters made by Fred Adolph are signed.” This obviously expensive rifle is signed. It has 25 inch, 1/3 octagon 2/3 round ribbed barrel fitted with three folding rear express sights. Integral front ramp holds gold bead front sight. Barrel shows German proofs on left and S# on right sides. Case hardened 1903 Springfield action is unaltered from military and shows rudimentary engraving consisting of swirls, arches and some oak leaves; most likely done by Adolph himself as the style is similar to his stock carvings. Left sidewall is engraved “Fred Adoloh Genoa N.Y.” Bolt is also unaltered except for transverse dovetail cut through cocking piece for peep sight (now missing). Bottom metal is also unaltered from military and is stamped with flaming bomb proof and “N.R.A.”. It has been very nicely engraved with large, shaded Germanic scrolls surrounding a semi-relief game scene depicting a bull moose standing at the edge of a northern lake. The monogram JHM (?) is semi-relief inlaid in gold on trigger guard bow. This fine engraving is most likely the work of Rudolph Kornbrath. Pistol grip stock of relatively plain but dense American walnut measures 13-7/8” over ribbed and engraved steel trap buttplate. Stock features classic Adolph styling with nicely carved and moulded right hand cheekpiece, very thin comb, schnabled forend tip and sunburst horn grip cap. Checkered panels are at grip, sides of action and around forend. They are offset by Adolph’s familiar carved accents consisting of scrolls and sprays of foliage. Some accents are raised carved. Fred Adolph was one of the first gunsmiths in America to build custom rifles and his customer list included many famous people of the day. Research into the owner of the monogram should be interesting. Rifle is fitted with a woven leather sling. MEASUREMENTS: WEIGHT: 7 lb. 6 oz. CONDITION: very fine. Barrel retaining about 70-80% original blue. Case hardening of action which appears to originally been a French gray is nearly all present; surfaces being smooth and engraving remaining sharp. Stock retains most of its original oil finish with some marks and scratches. There

to either the normal top lever or the, popular at the time, “thumb hole”. Action, locks and hammers are unengraved except for maker’s name on each lockplate and “Patent” on top. Trigger plate has ball finial and trigger guard is engraved with S# on tang. Bar-in-wood buttstock, so called because wood runs under lockplates almost all the way to the hinge pin covering most of the action bar (structural part connecting hinge and standing breech); made of well marbled and stump figured European walnut measures 14-7/8” over 2-3/4” lengthening piece fitted to the original curve of the stock (consignor states factory records indicate this gun was originally made with approx. 12-1/2” LOP). This lengthening piece is exceptionally well fitted and grain matches very well. Butt is correctly shaped and nicely checkered in correct Purdey fashion. Point pattern checkering is at grip and a silver oval on toeline is monogrammed “CFB” (?). Oval is set at the usual distance of approx. 3” from original toe of stock. Matching splinter forend has Anson release. MEASUREMENTS: BBLS: Bore Diameter: L .730. R .731. Restriction: L .027 (IMod). R .025 IMod). Wall thickness: L .024. R .026. STOCK: DAH: 2-3/16”. DAC: 1-1/2”. CAST: about 1/2” off. LOP: 14-7/8”. WEIGHT: 7 lb. 7 oz. CONDITION: very good to fine. Barrels retaining most of their original brown with scattered light pin prick pitting mostly at carry point. Action and lockplates retain a good amount, perhaps 40% case hardening color, the remainder a smooth mottled brown. Trigger guard retains some original bright blue mostly where protected by lever. Stocks retain their original surfaces having added oil with addition of lengthening piece. Checkering shows considerable wear especially on forend.

These pistols allegedly saved Clint Peoples’ life on several occasions. Later he entered the highway patrol in Austin in November of 1941 and was promoted to Ranger in 1946. Promotion to Captain in the Rangers came in 1953 and Senior Captain in 1969. A position he held until his retirement in 1973.
