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.

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.

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.

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. The bidder must log in with their personal log information and in doing so understands the risks that they are taking by participating in live internet bidding and agrees to pay for any and all purchases. Any bids placed by your identity are your responsibility.

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

WARNING

All firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items. They are not examined, tested, or warranted by Poulin’s Antiques & Auctions, Inc. consignors, employees, or agents as to shootability. Please be sure that you have any gun properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith before attempting to fire.

24. STEPHEN POULIN AUCTIONEER’S LICENSE: NUMBER 1115

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.

CURIO H&R REISING MODEL 50

SUBMACHINE CARBINE. Cal. 45

ACP. S# 7163. Bbl. 13.5” over comp. Barrel w/ 29 fins. In a search for another compact SMG as things were heating up in Europe in 1939, Eugene Reising went to work designing what we would eventually know as the Reising Model 50. He received a patent on his compact, closed bolt carbine, chambered in .45ACP in June of 1940, and entered into a manufacturing contract with Harrington & Richardson to facilitate production. It didn’t have many competitors, as the only similar firearm was the Thompson SMG, but the Reising Model 50 was extremely accurate since it fired from a closed bolt. After submission for testing with the US Army, it was not immediately accepted since its same closed bolt mechanism that provided superior accuracy had a tendency to malfunction when not cleaned and maintained regularly. Since the Thompson SMG faced a shortage, the United States Marine Corps adopted the Reising Model 50 with a parkerized finish, cooling fins, a muzzle device to assist with recoil and with select-fire capability. They then requested a modified version for the “Para Marines” that utilized a folding wire stock in a pistol grip design, and without the muzzle device. It was known as the Reising Model 55 and shared by the Tank crews. This example, the Model 50 is a select fire, closed bolt sub machine gun. It has a 20rd mag-well. Barrel has 29 cooling fins and a 6 slot muzzle device. Exposed metal surfaces are finished in a light gray parkerizing. Full length wooden stock. Graduated elevation adjustable rear peep sight & drift windage adjustable front post sight incorporated into the muzzle device. Receiver is stamped on top “MODEL 50 – H.&R. REISING – CAL .45 / HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON ARMS CO. / WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A. PAT PENDING”. MAGS: 4 total factory mags, blued 20rd.

1008. COMPLETE DLO BROWNING MODEL 1919A4 MACHINE GUN ON TRIPOD WITH LINKING MACHINE. Cal. 30. S# 8670300. Bbl. 24”. Mfg. by RAMO. The 1919 is one of the most iconic ground & vehicle mounted machine guns in U.S. Military history w/ such a long range of service, from the early 1920’s through Vietnam, video footage as well as Hollywood films have featured this weapon system in countless reels. Originally it was intended to be the “go-to” Browning design tank gun in WWI, though it was introduced a little too late. It utilizes a heavier bbl. than its water cooled predecessor & traded the massive water jacket for a much slimmer slotted bbl. shroud for air cooling. The 1919A4 is one of the most commonly encountered & was originally issued in both a fixed & flexible platform. The fixed gun was often used on WW2 vehicles, while the flexible had a focus as an infantry company level machine gun. Numerous mounting options were available, including several tripod variants, pedestal mounts & even an A6 variation, which utilized a bipod & shoulder stock, w/ the intention of making it more user friendly. Today, these guns are highly sought after by recreational shooters & reenactors. They saw such a long period of service that spare parts are fairly readily available. This specific offering is assembled on a DLO sideplate. Currently configured in 308. Black parkerized finish on all exposed surfaces. Flip up blade style front sight & flip up rear sight w/ adj. peep for windage & elevation up to 2400 yds. Mounted on a low profile M2 military tripod w/ T&E mechanism.

on vehicles or ground mounts. The 1917 was an evolution of John Browning’s original design that would continue to be improved upon & have lineage into firearms that are still in use today such as the M2HB. The original 1917, through its heavy use, illustrated few weaknesses which were addressed in the M1917A1 & included the fitting of a new lower plate, an upgraded belt feed lever, an improved top cover latch assembly plus an updated, graduated leaf sight that would be suitable for the M1906 ball ammo. As additional data was collected, especially during heavy use in WWII, there were several further upgrades that continued the evolution to the M1917A1 (including sight modification for the later .30 M2 ball ammunition). This example was manufactured on a Group Industries right sideplate.. All external metal components are parkerized & the steel water jacket w/ brass endcaps has been finished to perfectly match receiver. The pistol grip was also parkerized w/ an attractive hardwood handles. Rear sight graduated ladder/peep, microadjustable to 2600 yds. Front sight is hooded blade. An important M1917A1 modification was that the top cover incorporates a detent where it could be held in the open position w/ out manual support & is correct on this particular example. It includes a feed tray insert to run linked ammunition without damaging the original. Threaded water plugs on bbl. jacket are present & functional. It sits upon a 1917A1 tripod w/ cradle assembly, fully adj. for traverse & elevation. Markings on right side plate include: “NO. 300085 U.S. INSP.

1012. FULLY TRANSFERABLE, CURIO BRITISH LANCHESTER MK 1* SUBMACHINE GUN. Cal. 9MM. S#74696. Bbl. 7.75”. The British Lanchester Submachine Gun was designed by G.H. Lanchester & manufactured by the Sterling Engineering Company. .It was heavily influenced by the design of the German MP21 II. The muzzle end of the barrel jacket includes a bayonet boss & stud for use w/ the Mark 1, Pattern 1907 bayonet. Typical of pre-WWII SMG’s, it is heavily built w/ a difficult degree of manufacturing, compared to many of those designed later, when necessity was more important than design perfection. The early examples were select fire, while the later guns, such as this example, the MK. 1*, built as a full auto only. It was once fielded by the British Navy. The muzzle end of the unique circular perforated barrel shroud has the appearance of an old “Pepperbox”, w/ many barrels, while the outside holes are only actually functional as cooling ports. Like the popular Sten, the magazine presents from the left side. Tubular receiver. Protected post front sight. Dual aperture rear notch sight. Wooden shoulder stock & forend. Brass butt plate & magazine well. Sling swivels, front & rear, currently sporting tan, canvas sling. MAGS: 2 steel 50 rd.

1013. FULLY TRANSFERABLE MARLIN / ERB MODEL 1906, 30-06 ”POTATO DIGGER”

MACHINE GUN. Cal. 30. S# 16912. Bbl. 28”. The Model M1895 Machine Gun, was often referred to as the “Potato Digger” due to its front mounted operating rod, located on the bottom just a few inches rear of the muzzle, since it could dig harrows in soft soil if mounted low enough. This nickname stuck & is still in use over 100 years later. This example was originally manufactured by the Marlin Arms Company & designated the Model 1906, coinciding w/ the chambering of the soon to be popular 30-06, also introduced in that year. It was a very early example of a gas operated machine gun, ahead of its time as weapon technology would evolve. The heavy barrel, measuring almost 1.35” in diameter boasts a 15” finned section to assist in barrel cooling. This tubular section spans over 36” in total, where the barrel is integral w/ the top portion of the receiver, where it interfaces w/ the pistol grip at the extreme rear of the firearm. The lower portion of the receiver is more rectangular in shape, spanning 27” in length. Front sight is a shrouded blade, 2” rear of the muzzle. The rear sight is graduated from 100 yards to 2600 yards, w/ a sight radius of almost 34”. While NFA paperwork indicates the manufacturer as Charles N. Erb, Jr. the top of the receiver is marked “MARLIN ARMS CORPORATION / NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT / USA / INSPR. J.A.D. 1917 / CAL. 30. MODEL 1906 / NO. 16912”. Barrel marked “CAL. 30 U.S.A / NO. 1702.” Currently mounted on tripod, designed by the noted firearms designer John Browning, This massive tripod is constructed of brass & steel. The elevation is controlled by a worm gear. The traverse is accomplished by unlocking a hand lever allowing the gun to swing freely on the mount. The wooden knee-board is present as is the 31 1/2” bright steel cleaning rod which fits into the rear tripod leg. The tripod feet has additional spikes to enable the tripod to be used on hard ground. The tripod is unmarked & has an OD green painted finish. Tripod measures approx. 48” by 25” when fully extended & the flat mounting plate is approx. 18” from the ground. The locking pin for the gun is present. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 2 photocopied magazine articles & some small mount screws. CONDITION: Blued finish on firearm is largely present, w/ majority thinning on the receiver above the ejection port. All moving parts function fluidly. Bore is quite clean w/ strong rifling. The tripod paint has wear, flaking & areas of patina w/ the exposed brass parts turning a pleasing patina. The clamping levers work freely, although the traversing clamp lever does not bind fully as tight as necessary to stop the traversing movement. Knee-board is in good condition w/ light wear.

SMGs, the MP40 may be the most iconic of them all. Its slow cyclic rate combined w/ decent sights & pleasant ergonomics make it as fun to operate as it is interesting to look at. It utilizes a very simplistic, yet incredibly smooth open bolt firing mechanism. The recoil system is typical of German over engineering consisting of a 3 piece telescoping rod w/ a captured spring that doubles as the connection point for the firing pin which slides inside of the bolt. The safety mechanism is an extremely simple design which shares commonalties w/ other WWII era SMGs. It consists of a rearward notch that interfaces w/ the cocking handle holding the bolt to the rear. This example was manufactured by Haenel. Early, first generation mag. housing which is smooth, w/ a square notch facing the shooter. All visibly numbered parts share matching numbers which is incredibly desirable & increasingly rare these days. The extruded receiver tube matches the grip frame, barrel, trigger housing, stock, bolt, barrel nut, rear sight & front sight. Hooded fixed blade front sight. Dual leaf rear sight is windage drift adjustable. Waffenamts appear on multiple parts including rear receiver just above folding stock mechanism “WaA254”, front sight mechanism just forward of resting bar is also Eagle “37”, front of receiver tube just rear of bbl. nut Eagle w/ “WaA44”. Under folding stock, dark brown Bakelite grips & lower receiver cover. MAGS: 4 steel 32 rd.

Grips appear in nice condition free of any obvious structural damage beyond some light handling marks under close examination. Bakelite receiver has a few light, typical use marks w/ a few very light scratches Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Under close examination, it appears that it may have been gently dewatted at some point, which was not uncommon, given the normal unfamiliarity with the Federal gun laws. Though we have no record of it being a Dewat in its past, as all paperwork we’ve viewed discuss a functioning firearm, the barrel has some sign of possibly being plugged at one point, as indicated by some light additional material at the face of chamber. There is also a small spot where an additional spot weld may have been applied, then removed on the barrel nut. It would not be unrealistic to believe it had been refinished at the same time, but marks & stamps remain sharp & matching. This is in amazing condition for a battlefield pickup in the European Theater of WWII. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

9”. Gordon Ingram’s second SMG design started life in 1947. Though its outwards appearance shared characteristics of the highly popular Thompson, upon closer inspection it was a very different design all together. Rather than utilizing expensive milled & fitted parts, Ingram took the direction of sheet metal stampings to reduce cost and improve mass production capabilities. The new SMG was originally full auto only, though by the time they went into production they were offered as select fire. An interesting feature of the M6 is that while it has a safety/selector above the trigger on the right side of receiver, if its set to the full auto setting the operator can switch modes of fire simply by pressure utilized on trigger. A short trigger pull functions as semi auto & must be released & squeezed again to fire a following round, where a full pull to the rear achieves full auto fire until the trigger is released. There were 3 models offered, including the Police, the Guard & the Military; each having their own definitive characteristics. This model, the Police model, w/ its vertical fore grip & finned bbl. mostly resemble the Thompson SMG. The receiver is a rnd., tubular design & trigger group is protected by a lg. rectangular metal guard. Charging is accomplished utilizing the handle on the right side of the receiver where a safety slot is incorporated towards the rear. Front sight is fixed blade & rear sight is elevation adj. buckhorn style. There are 15 fins on bbl. above the vertical front grip. Rear grip is incorporated into the stock & all are a reddish dark stained hardwood. Steel buttplate. MAGS: 1 steel 30 rd. CONDITION: all exposed metal surfaces are finished in typical a deep, dark blue, retaining complete coverage. Some very gentle patina in tiny spots visible under close inspection.

From its introduction, to the legislative imposed cutoff of 05-19-1986 the M-11 series guns were a popular & affordable entry level SMG. It’s low price was only rivaled by its reliability & these little bullet hoses continue to perform just as well several decades later. RPB’s entry into the “Micro Mac” semiautomatic pistol market was the tiny M11, open bolt pistol, chambered in .380 ACP. It was eventually designated the M11-A1 so as not to be confused w/ their popular 9mm, M11 Submachine Gun. While the traditional MAC 10 or even the 9mm M-11 were generally considered “boxy” or “chunky” in design, the M11-A1 pistol & M11 380 SMG was similar in size to the Colt 1911, though not quite as ergonomic in design. The suppressor users enjoyed the M11 380 since ammo was already subsonic, just like the 45ACP and provided a very low sound signature when fired. This particular example is an early M11 .380 w/ black parkerized finish. Protected post front sight. Rear peep sight is a hole drilled in the rear receiver extension to coincide w/ the front sight. Collapsible, folding shoulder stock. Slotted charging knob provides an unobstructed view. The action is locked by rotating the charging knob 90-degrees in the closed position.

1028. STEPHENVILLE TEXAS “LEATHERWOOD” M10A1 SMG. FULLY TRANSFERABLE. A604964. Bbl. 6”. There are very few firearms that conjure up the imagination of the general public more than the mere mention of the MAC 10. The Ingram Model 10 was originally designed in 1964. It would become the 1st of many small simplistic SMGs to contrast the expensive & labor intensive earlier variants such as the Thompson & Reising M50. Ingram’s 2 basic guidelines while designing the Model 10 “simple & cheap” while remaining effective & reliable. Made famous mostly by Hollywood, the M10 had appearances on the silver screen & on television eventually earning the infamous title of “The Gun That Made The 80’s Roar” starting w/ John Wayne utilizing a suppressed 9mm M10 in the 1974 movie “McQ”. A favorite example used by the organized anti-gun movement, the Mac 10 was eventually, incorrectly & inaccurately synonymous w/ every crime committed for a long period of time. Here we have an interesting variant, often called “The Leatherwood MAC” manufactured in Stephenville, TX. Unlike the more common M10s, the M10A1 uses a replaceable firing pin, not just a fixed bead on the face of the bolt. Chambered in 45 ACP. Protected post fixed front sight & rear peep sight that is integral w/ the receiver. Select fire, open bolt, blowback action. Selector on left side of receiver. Safety inside trigger guard. MAGS: None. CONDITION: Finish complete & consistent w/ only gentle thinning in areas of mechanical intervention. Some typical staining, typically caused w/ long term contact to storage oils or cosmoline. Collapsible wire stock locks correctly in both open & closed positions as does the folding shoulder section.

The younger brother of the infamous MAC-10 may not have moved out of it’s shadow as far as Hollywood movies & urban legend is concerned, but as far as becoming a commonly owned civilian SMG, it may actually have taken the top spot. From its introduction to the legislative imposed cutoff of 05-19-1986 the M11 was a popular & affordable entry level SMG. It’s low price was only rivaled by its reliability & these little bullet hoses continue to perform just as well several decades later. This particular example manufactured by SWD of Atlanta GA was manufactured in 1986.

to no longer be “sporting” guns therefore reverting them to destructive devices, necessitating long waiting periods & background checks, submission of fingerprints & passport photos. With a stroke of the pen, these normal 12 Ga. shotguns would immediately be classified as and treated like grenade launchers & bazookas. For a short period of time following this new determination, owners of these newly prohibited firearms were allowed to register them & get them on the books free from the normal ATF fees. While many people participated in the registry & even took advantage of the new destructive device status superseding bbl. length laws, eventually the registry was closed & any that were not registered during this amnesty period became contraband unless they were separated from the receivers or destroyed. This example is a complete, registered Destructive Device, manufactured by Interord Corporation, w/ a 2 3/4” chamber.

1044. VERY RARE, HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUNDESWEHR PROOFED FN FAL FROM PARKER HALE LTD. OF BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND. Cal. 308. S# 40199. Bbl. 21”. 24” over 6.75” flash hider. Perhaps one of the rarest & most historically significant FAL rifles currently in the United States. This rifle, previously on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, comes to us with an amazing historical record, and has even been included in the book “The METRIC FAL” by R. Blake Stevens & Jean E. Van Rutten, by serial number. While many advanced collectors are familiar with the “G-Series FALs”, and their rarity & enhanced value, even being listed by serial number in the BATFE “Curios or Relics List” in Section II, This particular example was even more rare, and was the centerpiece in a Federal Trial in April of 1972. One of several rifles adopted after 1959 by the German Bundeswehr, it was owned by Parker Hale Ltd. of Birmingham, England with the idea of offering it for sale in the U.S.A. commercial market as a semiautomatic. It was modified by welding the safety sear in place, removing the upper tail piece, removing the safety sear lug on the bolt carrier & grinding off the superior hammer notch. Unlike the G Series guns, which were exempted from the normal ATF foolishness, if listed by number, this gun was confiscated by BATFE (Then known as the “ATFU” Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms Unit) and the owner charged with illegal possession of an unregistered machine gun. The owner, a California machine gun dealer, sued the government and on April 27th, 1972, The Honorable Judge Harry Pregerson ruled that after seeing the evidence, including a perfectly legal G Series gun, that the modified FAL WAS NOT a Machine Gun and ordered it returned to the owner. This whole case is spelled out in the book “THE METRIC FAL” on pages 297 & 298. Also included w/ this rifle is a 3-ring binder including several photocopies of the original court documents. This is quite an interesting rifle! It is a Metric Pattern rifle stamped “ENGLAND” on the bottom tang of the lower receiver to the rear of the pistol grip.

The SIG AMT (American Match Target) is a semiautomatic variant of the SIG Model 510-4, machine gun, one of 1440 imported into the United States between 1969-1978. This particular example was imported by Benet Arms of San Fransisco, California. Similar in legal history to the “G” Series” FAL, in 1969, a very small number of 510-4 semiautomatic rifles were built on machine gun receivers and finished w/ semiautomatic parts before being imported into the United States. The BATFE approved their importation, so they do not fall under NFA restrictions, but future imports were built on semiautomatic specific receivers & modified for USA “Sporting Purpose” criteria by turning down the grenade rings on the barrel & eliminating the bayonet lug. In the 1970s these rifles were priced far more expensive than comparable rifles, & the low import numbers combined w/ the high original price has made these some of the rarest & most desirable military-style offerings in the United States. The operating system consists of a closed-bolt, delayed blowback mechanism utilizing twin locking rollers. It is charged by utilizing a non-reciprocating op-rod, w/ a beer-keg shaped charging handle, protruding from the right side. The safety / selector is located on the left side of the receiver w/ a clever, folding winter trigger mechanism located on the right side, parallel w/ the magazine well. Matte black finish on all exposed metal parts. Protected post front sight. Elevation adjustable rear peep sight graduated from 100 to 600 meters. Currently sporting factory QD scope mount w/ rings. Folding bipod mounted just rear of front sight block rotates for storage above the 8” ventilated barrel shroud, out of the way, not interfering w/ operation. Folding carry handle rests on left side of receiver. Beautiful hardwood 6” forend w/ matching wood shoulder stock. Left side sling swivels. MAGS: 3 steel 20 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Owners manual. CONDITION: Finish complete & consistent w/ only light thinning in areas of mechanical intervention & a few gentle drag lines. Previous owner thought to add a small wrap of soft Velcro forward of receiver, to avoid bipod from contacting the finish on top of barrel. Furniture exhibits only a few fine impressions as evidence of prior contact w/ bipod. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (25-2350/JZ). MODERN.$6,000-8,000.

1051. VERY DESIRABLE BERETTA MODEL AR70 SPORT RIFLE. Cal. 223. S# M32390. Bbl. 17.8”. The Beretta AR/70 rifle is an Italian offering designed by Vittorio Valle and introduced in 1970. Its development followed a joint study between Beretta & SIG that commenced in 1963 and was terminated in 1968. Beretta had tried to negotiate a contract w/ Colt to manufacture the M16 in Italy as well, but when it became clear that the firms would not be working together, Beretta started to aggressively market their own offering. They studied several gas & locking systems and ended up utilizing a conventional gas piston & recoil spring system, located above the barrel, & a twin lug locking system similar to those used at the time in the M2 Carbine & several Kalashnikov rifles. This variant has a matte black finish on all outward components. Protected post front sight. Dual aperture rear peep sight, marked at 150 meters & 300 meters. Full length plastic handguards.

1052. DESIRABLE PRE-BAN IMI / MAGNUM RESEARCH MODEL 372 GALIL RIFLE. Cal. 5.56/.223 S# MR02792. Bbl. 18”. Conceived following the 1967 war when Israel was looking for a lighter alternative to the FAL rifle. It was based heavily on the AK-47 design, which the Arab armies had utilized and had been determined to have performed well. It was expanded upon by adding other features such as a folding bipod to increase stability and provide reasonable consistency under automatic fire, which also doubles as a wire cutter. A right side folding shoulder stock was utilized to be more useful to the mechanized units which required shorter platforms to fit inside vehicles. This particular rifle was manufactured by Israeli Military Industries & imported by Magnum Research Inc. of Minneapolis, MN. It has a threaded barrel, terminated w/ the proper A2 style flash hider.

1135. UNIQUE AND DESIRABLE U.S. WWI PEDERSEN DEVICE WITH AN ACCOMPANYING SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1903 MK1 BOLT ACTION MILITARY RIFLE. No.1: S# 39201. Cal. 30 Pedersen. Extremely rare WWI Pedersen Device with an accompanying Model 1903 MK1 Springfield Rifle. The Pedersen Device was developed to increase the short range firepower available from the standard Model 1903 rifle. The nature of trench warfare may require a high degree of firepower at short ranges and the Pedersen Device was developed to meet that need. The Pedersen Device was carried by the soldier in a container on his belt. This allowed him to quickly switch a standard service rifle between long-range bolt-action fire and shorter range semi-automatic fire. The device utilizes a 40 round detachable magazine. The device which functions on the blowback principle, utilizes a 30 caliber rimless pistol type cartridge. The devices and their specially modified Mark 1 rifles started production in 1918. The war ended before they could be fielded with approximately 65,000 produced and approximately 101,000 rifles produced to accommodate them. The rifles were used as service rifles and at times of overhaul or rebuild, the Pedersen Device related parts consisting of the special Sear, magazine cutoff and spindle were replaced with standard parts. The devices themselves were placed in storage until declared surplus in the early 1930s, and destroyed with only a small number being saved and it is thought that fewer than 100 now survive. This Pedersen Device is marked on top of the reciprocating slide “U.S.A. 1918-MARK 1 39201 REMINGTON-BRIDGEPORT / PEDERSEN’S PAT’S PENDING”.

1170. GENERAL OFFICERS MODEL PISTOL OF HIGHLYDECORATED, U.S. ARMY MAJOR GENERAL DONALD V. (“SNAPPER”) RATTAN, WITH BELT, HOLSTER, & PROVENANCE. Cal. 32 ACP. S# 566922. Bbl. 3 3/4”. Model 1903 Hammerless General Officers Model semi-automatic pistol mfg. by Colt, and later shipped to the General Officer’s Pistol Program (Executive Offices) at Fort Bragg on 08/07/1968 for Major General Donald V. Rattan. This gun is listed as having been issued to Donald V. Rattan in U.S. General Officer Pistols: A Collector’s Guide by Williams & Brunner, at page 92. Donald V. Rattan graduated from West Point, Class of 1945. Commissioned a 2nd lieutenant, infantry, his first assignment was as a platoon leader in the 86th Inf. Div., the Philippines Later, he served with the occupation force in Japan. After completing the Infantry Officer Advanced Course in 1952, Rattan joined the 32nd Inf. Reg., 7th Inf Div. in Korea that saw its action at ChorwonKumhwah. In the 32nd, Rattan served as a rifle company commander, battalion executive officer, and Regimental S-2. Beginning in 1953, Rattan spent three years at the Airborne Department of the Infantry School, Fort Benning, where he developed the Army’s first airmobile pathfinder course. Rising through the ranks, from Benning, Rattan went directly to the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS. After completing the course there, he remained at Leavenworth as a curriculum planner in the Office of the Director of Instruction. He later attended the Armed Forces Staff College, the NATO Defense College, and the Army War College. In August 1964, LTC Rattan was a military advisor at the US Consulate in Bukavu in eastern Congo. In that role, he advised Government forces defending the city during the Simba rebellion and, in Operation Dragon Rouge, the rescue of western hostages. When on a scout with a driver and three civilian members of a joint team, the group was attacked by an overwhelming force of Simba rebels. Their jeep disabled, Rattan, the only one armed, directed the others to flee into the jungle while he remained a decoy to cover their escape. Fighting a rearguard action, he held off a dozen rebels until the small party could regroup. For four days, with only one pineapple for sustenance, the men played cat and mouse with rebels until reaching friendly forces. Rattan was awarded the Silver Star for his gallantry and leadership. Three years later, in 1967, Rattan commanded the 1st Brigade, 1st Air Cavalry Division (Airmobile)—the First Team-The Cav—in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. The brigade had earlier participated in the Ia Drang and at Bong Son. Under Rattan, the brigade fought in support of the 173d Airborne Bde at Dak To. In late January 1968, Rattan was ordered to move his brigade to the southwest of Quang Tri City, the provincial capital, just below the DMZ. Days later, on January 31, the North Vietnamese Army launched its Tet ’68 offensive. Within two hours after an NVA regiment attacked, QTC from the west, Rattan had two jumping from Hueys on the enemy’s rear. Cut off from resupply, reinforcement, and an avenue of retreat, the NVA was trapped in a closing vise of Cav to the east Cav and South Vietnamese forces in the city to the west. In less than a half day, nearly one

thousand enemy were killed. The Battle of Quang Tri was over hours after it began. The Cav’s rapid defeat of the NVA regiment was the most decisive Allied victory during the Tet Offensive. It upset the enemy’s timetable and prevented that regiment, as it was ordered, from aiding other enemy units in the Battle of Hue, 50 km to the South. Two months later, Rattan’s brigade joined other Cav units in Operation Pegasus to relieve Marines as Khe Sanh. Rattan established his headquarters at a Landing Zone that became known, LZ Snapper, Rattan’s nickname from high school. LZ Snapper also served as a rallying point to cut off enemy fleeing the battlefield. After VietNam, from August 1970 to May 1972, Rattan commanded the 8th Inf. Div. in Europe. He retired the following year. During his service, Rattan received two Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters (citations unavailable). On top of the Silver Star (with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters), some of Rattan’s other decorations and badges include: a Legion of Merit, a Bronze Star Medal with “V” Device and 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, 24 Air Medals, an Army Commendation Medal with First Oak Leaf Cluster, Combat Infantry Badge (2 awards), a Master Parachutists badge, as well as a General Staff Identification Badge.

LP.08 Luger semi-automatic pistol mfg. by DWM under contract for the Imperial German military during World War I, and subsequently owned by George Eastman.

This is example is marked “1917” over the chamber on the bbl. extension, with DWM arsenal proofs marked on the right. Toggle is marked with the intertwined “DWM” monogram.

This example is also accompanied by documentation from the consignor’s grandfather, George J. Skivington, a predominant criminal lawyer who was based in Rochester, NY. Skivington, served as a board member of the Rochester Centennial Committee in 1934, and was a scrupulous collector and historian, who maintained a meticulous journal of his acquisitions throughout his adulthood. The documentation, being a scan of Skivington’s collection journal, lists and indicates (by S#) that this exact example was the pistol in which George Eastman took his own life, via a shot to his heart on March 14th of 1932 was acquired on March 3rd of 1937. Earlier on March 14th, Eastman had invited a small group of close friends to his home and wanted them to witness the rewriting of his new will, which was not an unusual moment for Eastman. The night was said to have ended on a relatively cheerful note, with Eastman informing his friends that he was just making sure that his final wishes were in order. Subsequently, after his friends had left, Eastman pulled out a fresh piece of paper and wrote a short but poignant note that read “To my friends, my work is done. Why wait?” before taking his own life. While not included in the documentation, the cataloger finds it significant to mention, that during the final two years of Eastman’s life, he incurred intense and severe pain, which significantly limited his mobility, and caused Eastman to suffer from depression. This was a result of a spinal disorder, which today is believed to be a form of a degenerative disease. After Eastman’s death, the pistol was given to John P. McDonald, Captain of Detectives of the Rochester PD, and was later formally filed by Joseph Sheridan, R.P.D. property clerk, before being given to George J. Skivington on March 3rd of 1937, as notated in Skivington’s journal. Since Skivington’s death is 1961, the pistol has remained and has been maintained by the Skivington family for the last 6 decades. CONDITION: metal components retain the majority of their original arsenal rust blue finish, exhibiting some spots/areas of light to mild wear and thinning, with scattered spots of light surface oxidation present overall.

1461. RARE FINNISH M/08 LUGER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH ORIGINAL FINNISH ARMORY TAG. Cal. 9mm Luger. S# 3774. Bbl. 4 3/4”. With praise from Finnish volunteers that served in the Imperial German army in World War I, the Finnish army chose to purchase Lugers from DWM during the early 1920s. DWM, prohibited from mfg. the Finn’s requested P.08 in 9x19mm, sold Finland approx. 8,000 Model 1920 Commercial Lugers chambered in 7.65x21mm. Many of these 1920 Commercial Lugers (designated M/23) were subsequently converted to 9x19mm via the addition of a Tikkakoski bbl. Further more, in 1921, the Finnish army acquired spare parts to repair their Lugers, mostly consisting of toggle assemblies that were mfg. by Mauser. This example, an M/08 Luger (Finnish designation for a 9x19mm Luger) was produced by DWM, originally as a Model 1920 Commercial Luger. The replacement Mauser bbl. extension is marked “1937” over the chamber, with a Finnish boxed “SA” proof marked on the left.

1462. DRAMATIC STAR MODEL A PISTOL CARBINE WITH SHOULDER STOCK. Cal. 7.63mm. S# A5528. Bbl. 6 1/8”. In the first half of the 20th century China was involved in a near continuous series of battles that defined their civil war. Initially, western powers supplied the majority of their small arms, particularly FN in Belgium and Mauser from Germany. Shortly afterwards, several Spanish companies became involved. Through Broomhandles were clearly a favorite for the warlords, Star-Bonifacio Echeverria realizing it would be too time consuming and expensive to make a C96 copy, decided to revise his 1911 type pistols to a more competitive configuration. He chambered the pistols for the 7.63mm Mauser cartridge, fitted them with an extended bbl., had their slide modified to accommodate a tangent rear sight, and slotted their frame to attach a hollow wood shoulder stock similar in form/concept to the C96. This pistol has a 6 1/8” extended bbl. and has a tangent sight graduated from 50-1000. The left side of the slide is marked with a single line address “AUTOMATIC PISTOL” followed by the Star logo trademark and the caliber. The Pre-Eibar proofing rearing lion is marked behind the slide serrations, on the exposed chamber, and as part of the proofing triad on the left side of the frame. The frame has the same finger cutouts as a 1911A1, while the straight backstrap is slotted to accommodate a shoulder stock, a lanyard ring having been fitted to the bottom of the left frame. Fitted with horn panels having a prominent Star trademark in a central field surrounded by bordered checkering. Button release mag. that has 7-indicator holes and a fixed floorplate, this example marked with the Guardia Civil logo and numbered “20484”. “Star Firearms” by Leonardo Antaris shows this pistol to have been exported to Amberes in February of 1928. An identical and closely serialized pistol, termed a Type III Model Carbine, photographed on page 436. MAGS: 1 8-rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: complimenting the pistol is an early Star shoulder stock as originally made for the heavier frame Model M/P with a small button latch retainer and lug (#822) sized for a frame with palm swell. CONDITION: the pistol is G-VG retaining 70-80% of the original rust blue with sharp edge wear, toning, and handling-related thinning as one might expect from a pistol that has seen service use in the far east. Comparable condition grips with most wear directed at the right panel, having blunted checkering and a missing laminate of horn at the bottom rear corner. Near mirror bore. Correct manual mechanics. Comparable or slightly better condition shoulder stock with the lug, filed to fit and now in-the-white. The interior of the stock having been carefully drilled to accept the extended bbl. An impressive ensemble with a well documented

H. While similar to the Mauser C96 in silhouette, it was made with a rnd. bolt and a different set of internal components. This pistol, one of the early Model Hs, made in 1928, has a 5.5” bbl., fixed front sight, and a slip-in tangent sight uniformly graduated from 501000. 2-lug firing pin, and small ring hammer. The full S# was marked on the left bbl. flat, with the late automatic pistol proof marked on the left side of the bbl., bbl. extension, and the left side of the frame in concert with the year code “B” (1928) and the Eibar house proof. The right side of the frame was marked “ETAI” “PISTOL/ CAL 7.63m/m”. The full S# was repeated on the back of the frame, with the last few digits on most of the small parts to include the rear sight bar, bolt, bolt stop, hammer, floorplate and all the usual internals. Fitted with matching serrated walnut grips with fuller bases than the Mauser. Lanyard ring present. This exact pistol is pictured in “Astra Firearms & Selected Competitors” by Leonardo M. Antaris on page 689! UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: complete with Beistegui assembled shoulder stock having a characteristic rnd. dome screw to retain the lid latch. Matching assembly # “73” on top of body and mating surface of lid. Correct Beistegui lug that was not removed from the stock. CONDITION: approx. 75-80% original rust blue with balance transitioning between expected wear and patina. Comparable condition small parts whose fire blue is largely faded, the bolt surface having been freshened. Bright bore, light oxidation, well defined rifling. Correct manual mechanics. Good condition stock, oil darkened with numerous handling marks, a 2” crack running through the lid release button. The lug heavily oxidized with a more recently fitted plunger. A rare and seldom offered Spanish Broomhandle ensemble, particularly the stock, under any circumstance. (25-3437/LMA). CURIO. $3,000-5,000.

The Granddaddy of this rifle is the AR-10, chambered in 7.62 NATO & manufactured in the mid 1950’s. It was adopted by several military units, outside the United States including Sudan, Portugal & even Cuba. ArmaLite licensed manufacturing rights to a Dutch manufacturer called Artillerie-Inrichtingen (A.I.) in 1957 where they were primarily manufactured in the early 1960s. Despite substantial sales to the governments of Sudan & Portugal, logistical problems would soon cause manufacture to cease & the focus would come back to the United States in the development of the successor, the AR-15. This particular example is a Portuguese model, originally manufactured as a Machine gun, like the majority of them were. It was imported back into the USA where it was destroyed by being disassembled & cut up.

general public more than the mere mention of the MAC 10. The Ingram Model 10 was originally designed in 1964. It would become the 1st of many small simplistic SMGs to contrast the expensive & labor intensive earlier variants such as the Thompson & Reising M50. Ingram’s 2 basic guidelines while designing the Model 10 “simple & cheap” while remaining effective & reliable. Made famous mostly by Hollywood, the M10 had appearances on the silver screen & on television eventually earning the infamous title of “The Gun That Made The 80’s Roar” starting w/ John Wayne utilizing a suppressed 9mm M10 in the 1974 movie “McQ”. A favorite example used by the organized anti-gun movement, the Mac 10 was eventually, incorrectly & inaccurately synonymous w/ every crime committed for a long period of time. The semiautomatic M10 was originally offered as an open bolt system just like its predecessor the M10 SMG. The BATF determined that the open bolt semi autos met the criteria of a machine gun under the “readily restorable” clause & banned future manufacture, grandfathering those that were assembled and in commerce on or before June 21, 1982 under ATF ruling 82-8. Like everything else the Federal Government tells citizens they can not have, interest in these early originals immediately skyrocketed & they have been considered highly prized collectibles for over 40 years. This is an example of that early operating mechanism, before changes to a closed-bolt system were mandated, and to be even more obscure, it’s a factory carbine, rather than the much more common pistol. The self-loading operating system is blowback operated and fires from an open bolt. It utilizes a fixed firing pin, integral to the bolt face. This is a factory 45ACP carbine variant manufactured by RPB Industries in Atlanta, GA. The pistol it’s based on is very similar to the SMG in both operation & aesthetics w/ only a few differences. Outwardly, the slots for the SMG shoulder stock are not milled in the backplate. It utilizes a welded tab that interfaces w/ the fixed wooden shoulder stock. It is also devoid of the selector lever on the left side, since it is unnecessary. Sights consist of a fixed protected post front sight, 3.5” to the rear of the muzzle. and a fixed rear peep, consisting of a raised extension of the back plate w/ a sight radius of 20”. Interesting enough, they never removed the original SMG front sight, aside from grinding down the original post. The slotted cocking knob is nestled between the sights. The cocking handle also functions as a secondary safety, where rotating it 90º locks the action. The primary safety is in the front, right section of the trigger guard. Right side of receiver is marked w/ the familiar Cobray snake & globe logo and the following stamping: “SM10. CAL 45 AUTO / RPB INDUSTRIES, INC. / ATLANTA, GA. U.S.A.” as well as the markings; “SAFE” & “FIRE” above the trigger guard. Serial number, also on the right side has the correct “SAC” prefix. MAGS: 6 steel 30 rd. CONDITION: Finish coverage remains quite complete, w/ some typical thinning, primarily on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. It also displays some typical drag lines often caused by stacked storage. Some scattered patina & pitting throughout, most pronounced on the left side, & bottom of lower receiver. Bore is bright w/ descent rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (25-2262/JZ). MODERN. $1,000-1,500.

1627. SUPER RARE .380 RPB SM11A1 OPEN BOLT CARBINE. Cal. 380. S# SAC3800043. Bbl. 16.5”. RPB’s entry into the “Micro Mac” semiautomatic pistol market was the tiny M11-A1, open bolt pistol, chambered in .380 ACP. It was designated the M11-A1 so as not to be confused w/ their popular 9mm, M11 Submachine Gun. Even rarer, was the M11A1 Carbine, such as this example. RPB M11-A1 serial numbers range from 380006 - 38011661. The semiautomatic variants were marked w/ the prefix SAP (semi auto pistol) or SAC (Semiautomatic carbine). While the traditional MAC 10 or even the 9mm M-11 were generally considered “boxey or chunky” in design, the M11-A1 was similar in size to the Colt 1911, though not quite as ergonomic in design. The suppressor users enjoyed the M11-A1s since the 380 ammo was already subsonic, just like the 45ACP and provided a very low sound signature when fired. Gray parkerized finish on upper receiver & barrel shroud, w/ a darker black on the lower receiver. Protected post front sight. Rear peep sight is a hole drilled in the rear receiver extension to coincide w/ the front sight. Sight radius is almost 18.5” though the original pistol front sight is still present, only 7” forward of rear sight. Slotted, 11.5” barrel shroud. Muzzle currently sports a folding 12” bipod. Slotted charging knob provides an unobstructed view. The action is locked by rotating the charging knob 90-degrees in the closed position. Safety is located on the right side of the receiver, inside the trigger guard. Hardwood shoulder stock w/ matching hardwood backstrap at rear of pistol grip.. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Woodland camo nylon transport bag. CONDITION: Finish is complete & consistent w/ some light thinning on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. Bright bore w/ visible rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PROVENANCE: Lifelong Collection of Terrance McCarty. (24-313/JZ). MODERN. $800-1,200..

Safety / selector on left side, marked “F-S”. Black plastic furniture. CONDITION: Finish on exposed metal surfaces complete, w/ thinning on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. Rear pin retains snaps on each side, indicative of use w/ a 1990s era shoulder holster.

Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PROVENANCE: Lifelong Collection of Terrance McCarty. (24-94/JZ).

The suppressor users enjoyed the M11-A1s since the 380 ammo was already subsonic, just like the 45ACP and provided a very low sound signature when fired. Light gray parkerized finish. Protected post front sight. Rear peep sight is a hole drilled in the rear receiver extension to coincide w/ the front sight. Slotted charging knob provides an unobstructed view. The action is locked by rotating the charging knob 90-degrees in the closed position. Safety is located on the right side of the receiver, inside the trigger guard. Threaded barrel.

AUTO CARBINE.

adopted by the United States military in the early 1940’s. During WWII, the General Motors Corp., Guide Lamp division, produced just under 650,000 M3 & M3-A1 grease guns. Unlike 45 ACP SMGs at the time, the grease gun was intended to be mass produced w/ very loose tolerances ensuring fit & function over multiple platforms. Guns available prior to the introduction of the grease gun, such as the Thompson SMG & Reising, were complicated & expensive to manufacture w/ several machined parts & a lot of necessary hand-fitting. This example is a semiautomatic only version. It is a blowback operated system that fires from a closed bolt. It utilizes a 16” barrel w/ a faux sound suppressor & also includes an 8” solid, display barrel as well. Wire stock is fixed but resembles the original. Just like the early military guns, it is charged by inserting a finger into a slot in the bolt, and pulling it rearward. Front sight is an exposed blade. Rear sight is a fixed peep located on top of the receiver. AR-15 style safety located on left side of receiver. Light gray parkerized finish. MAGS: 5 steel 30 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: solid display barrel. CONDITION: Finish complete & consistent w/ some light drag lines typical of stacking in storage. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (25-2291/JZ). MODERN. $1,500-2,000.
