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

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,

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.

& CONDITIONS

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

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.

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.

It was accepted from the factory to the warehouse on June 10, 1904. It was shipped on April 3, 1907 and the original consignee is listed to be the firm of Salt Lake Hardware of Salt Lake City, Utah.”, the letter further states: “From your information and the record, the basis for this rifle is a Model 1899-B. They were normally furnished with a 26” octagon barrel in calibers .303 Savage, .30-30 Win., .25-35, .32-40 and /38-55.

Line two says “12 light traveler” and is not of any type of entry I have run across before. From your photos that accompanied your letter, I will state that the engraving is a “Rival” grade factory pattern.

Historic Colt SAA Revolver Belonging To Legendary American Frontier Lawman, Wyatt Earp With Large Binder of Provenance

3272. HISTORIC COLT SAA REVOLVER BELONGING TO LEGENDARY AMERICAN FRONTIER LAWMAN, WYATT EARP WITH LARGE BINDER OF PROVENANCE. Cal. 45 Colt. S# 343095. Bbl. 4 3/4”. Wyatt Earp, one of the most storied lawmen of the American West, known for his unflinching resolve and indomitable presence. Earp’s name is etched into frontier myth alongside Dodge City, Deadwood, and the blood-soaked streets of Tombstone. A veteran of many shootouts, most notably, “The Gunfight at the OK Corral”, and the fact that Earp was never wounded during any of these skirmishes only adds to his seemingly Mythical status on the Western Frontier. After leaving Tombstone, Earp spent time in Idaho and Alaska, chasing the gold rush before finally settling down in Los Angeles. During his time there, Earp became friends with the likes of William S. Hart, Tom Mix and one James “Jimmy” Mitchell; all of which were pallbearers at his funeral. James Mitchell wrote many stories about Earp that appeared in the Los Angeles Examiner and was in the room with Josephine when Wyatt passed away on Jan 13, 1929. Following Earp’s death, Mitchell himself wrote Wyatt Earps obituary (copy included) along with a short story about the lawman’s exploits. Included is a copy of a note to Mitchell dated Dec. 8, 1932 shows that Josephine and James stayed in contact following Earp’s death. In 1934, James Mitchell Sr. passed away. Josephine would continue to stay in contact with the family as evidenced by a photocopied 1934 dated letter to Jim Mitchell Jr along with an original photograph of Earp signed on the back To James Mitchell Jr. from Josephine Earp. Included in the lot are 3 separate notarized letters, 2 signed by Jim Mitchell III and one signed by Barbara Cummings (Mitchell) documenting this revolver’s history. Excerpt from one Carol Cummings (Mitchell) notarized letter reads as follows: “After Wyatt died in 1929, and our Grandfather died in 1934, Josephine maintained a friendship with our father. In 1939, Josephine gave our father an original photo of Wyatt along with the Colt .45. Prior to our father’s death in 1989, he gave this gun to his son (our brother), Jimmy Mitchell the 3rd. At that time, he told him the gun belonged to Wyatt

Earp and that his widow, Josephine Earp had given the gun as a gift to our father.” One notarized letter from Jim Mitchell III states the following: “This is to confirm the Wyatt Earp Pistol (serial # 343095) is being sold by the Mitchell Family thru Little John’s Auction Service. My Grandfather was a friend of Wyatt Earp and was present when Wyatt Earp passed away and also served as a pallbearer at his funeral. My Father was also a friend of Josephine Earp and she gave Wyatt Earp’s pistol (serial # 343095) to my Father and he passed the pistol (serial # 343095) on to me.” UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Colt Archive letter stating the following: “Serial Number: 343095 / Caliber: .45/c / Barrel Length: 4 3/4” / Finish: Blue / Type of Stock: Not Listed / Shipped To: B.H.

3273. THE ONE. THE ONLY. FACTORY DOCUMENTED COLT 12” BUNTLINE SPECIAL SAA REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. S# 28822. Bbl 12” with factory globe front sight. This revolver is pictured on page 27 of “A STUDY OF THE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER” by Graham, Kopec & Moore. Page 27 also states this SAA as the only 12” Buntline Special known to exist. Only 19 of these exceedingly rare revolvers were manufactured from 1876-1884. 12 are recorded as having 16” bbls, 4 are documented as 10”, only this one is listed as 12” with the remainder being listed as “unknown”. Unique to this specific model is the flat top milled frame housing ladder type flip up long range rear sight. The moniker “Buntline Special” was a term coined in the 1930’s by dime novelist Edward Zane Carrol, whose pen name was Ned Buntline. The term caught on so well that in the 1950s, Colt began manufacturing long barreled SAA revolvers with longer barrels as “Buntline” Models. This model is commonly associated with frontier legends Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Fortunately for collectors, this gun was rescued from extinction by revered Colt collector Mel Torme as detailed in his February 1978 signed letter. Unfortunately, as stated in aforementioned letter, upon discovering this revolver, Torme indicates that the original bbl & ejector tube were covered in rust so that the bbl markings were barely legible. Under advisement from William Locke in 1968, Torme sent the gun to Tom Haas Sr. for refinishing of all blued parts. The extent of wear to the bbl made a refinish impossible as it appears Mr. Haas recreated a copy of the original bbl. THANKFULLY, THE FACTORY, ORIGINAL BBL, DOES ACCOMPANY THE GUN. Of note, in the Torme letter, it is stated that Torme recently learned that S.C. Wingard, the man who ordered this and separately another 10” Buntline Special revolver from Colt, was the founder of the American Rifle Magazine, other than that, little is known of Wingard at this time. Matching numbers on frame, trigger guard frame, butt, cylinder and bbl. Original case hardened frame and hammer, 6-shot fluted cylinder, blued grip frame, & original 1-piece walnut grip. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Period correct brass skeletonized shoulder stock. Original matching numbered 12” bbl. Two copies of Colt factory letters confirming the following: “Serial

Number: 28822 / Caliber: .45/c / Barrel Length: 12” / Finish: Blue / Type of stocks: Not Listed / Special Features: Furnished with Peep & Globe sights / Shipped To: S.C. WIngard ‘ Address: Unavailable / Date of Shipment: October 4, 1878 / Number of Same Type Guns in Shipment: 1”. Photocopy of signed Mel Torme letter detailing his account with this revolver. CONDITION: Bbl, grip frame & ejector housing near excellent as refinished by Tom Haas Sr. Cylinder retains 75-80% bright refinished blue with scattered areas of thinning finish & moderate cylinder drag line.

However, only 1 of you will be able to say “I own the ONLY documented 12” Buntline Special that is known to exist!”. PROVENANCE: The Esteemed Collection of Norm Greenberg. Ex.

Lee Foundation. Engraved post manufacture over original roll markings.
