Commission On Expensive Items & Valuable Collections

Our company’s roots in honesty and integrity were planted nearly 70 years ago with the auction family’s founders, Arthur and Lilla Julia. In the 1950’s my grandfather, Arthur, ran a successful insurance business. However, he realized that his true calling was in antiques and collectibles. Shortly after starting a small antiques business, Arthur and his family began offering auction services to reach a larger marketplace of buyers. It was not long before the auction firm grew to a popular well attended auction house. As the company grew so did the family’s inspiration to reach a larger audience.

In the early 1980’s Arthur’s son, world renowned hall of fame auctioneer James Julia, began to organize the family auction house into specialty divisions. The family business grew to a world renowned auction house and after his final sale in March of 2018 the family’s total sales had reached nearly $800 MILLION. As the family business grew, Arthur, his daughter Jeannine Poulin and her husband Stephen Poulin began holding collectibles auctions. The company Julia-Poulin auctioneers guided by Arthur Julia’s core principles of straight forward honest business dealings quickly grew to a well-known regional auction house.

As the family businesses developed together so did the interest from the collecting fraternities. By the early 2000’s the two seperate companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another, creating events that drew interest from across the globe.

Arthur & Lilla Julia

Founders

Jeannine Poulin

Stephen Poulin Treasurer

Together the two companies brought numerous famous collections to the market including; Elmer Keith Estate Collection, Evergreen Ventures Collection of Class-3 weapons, Bruce Stern Collection, Richard Rohal Collection, David Crocker Collection, John Houchins Collection, Robert Haskell III Collection, Larry Schlick Collection, Charles Lamb Collection, Lewis & Leyton Yearout Collection, Elliott Burka Collection & many more. As the two companies client bases melded and grew the event did as well. From 2008 until Jim Julia’s final auction in March 2018 the two companies in Fairfield Maine continuously held the largest grossing firearms auction event in the world generating an astonishing $15-25 MILLION in firearms sales per event.

Today, based on annual sales, our auction house (Poulin’s) is one of the top 4 firearm auction houses in the world. Our established impeccable reputation for honest & fair dealings with both buyers and sellers has been instrumental to our continued growth. We offer a unique 30 business day limited guarantee that provides a greater level of confidence from buyers. After Jim Julia’s last auction we are now the only auction house in the firearms auction industry that offers this incredible guarantee.

Our recent purchase of Jim Julia’s state-of-the-art auction facility and offices will now provide us with over 50,000 square feet of climate controlled and secure space dedicated to the promotion, presentation and efficient handling of fine firearms collections.

I could not be happier continuing to offer quality auctions in our family’s auction facilities. The presentation and atmosphere has been described by many as “electric”, “exciting”, “inviting”, & “comfortable”.

The streamlined handling of collections will continue to allow us to offer the best value to consignors and buyers in

the firearms auction industry. Our seller’s commission is the most conservative in the industry. We regularly offer our 0% or better seller’s commission to clients who are taking advantage of our aggressive marketing campaign and ultra-low seller’s commission.

Arthur Julia taught the family to be honest, modest & fair. As he would explain to me “You do not need to get rich on every consignment. Just make sure that you are pointed in the right direction and look at the big picture.” I hold dear to those words and many others that he shared with me and look forward to continue presenting phenomenal collections and auctions to our clientele.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank you to all of my family and team that has been instrumental in developing our business, & thank you to my mother and father for everything that you have done to get us to where we are today.

Sincerely,

Nick Poulin

TERMS & CONDITIONS

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

1. DESCRIPTIONS: We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. Should the need arise, we will make verbal corrections and provide additional information at the time of sale. A correction to the printed material announced by the auctioneer during the auction takes precedence over printed descriptions. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. Several examples: If we call a Colt a Winchester. Or if we state the firearm is in original finish and it has been re-blued. Percent estimate of finish is an opinion and may vary from individual to individual, so this would not qualify. Not every item included in this auction has been completely disassembled to verify internal component’s origins. However, if we have made the statement that the item is “all matching” or “internal numbers match”, we guarantee that this information is accurate. If an item’s description does not list the status of the internal components, we do not guarantee that they are original, matching or that they are period. If you would like additional information concerning internal components of a firearm that does not mention the internal components in the description, please contact us at 207-453-2114 and our consultants will be happy to assist you at their earliest availability. This limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.

Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves on the age, authenticity, condition, description and value of each lot before bidding. This includes all bidders whether they be here at the live auction, absentee, phone or internet bidders.

1A. FOR PURCHASERS WHO HAVE ITEMS SHIPPED TO THEM: Should there be a major discrepancy as listed in Item 1 above, a refund may be arranged and the buyer would need to make arrangements for the return within 30 business days of the auction date. as consignor’s payments are sent out on the 35th business day after the auction. ANY REQUESTS MADE FOR A REFUND AFTER 30 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE AUCTION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. Please pay promptly to ensure that you have time to inspect your purchases. If we do not have all of your payment, paperwork or credit card information for the items to be shipped by the 10th business day after the auction you could be jeopardizing your ability to qualify for a refund. Shipments can take 2-3 weeks from the time we receive the entirety of your required payment and paperwork to process and ship due to the volume of clientele that we are processing after the auction. We are not responsible for any liability with the descriptions if we have not received everything that we need to complete the transaction in time for the items to be shipped to you. NO PARTIAL REFUNDS.

1B. FOR LIVE BIDDERS: It is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. Also, please check to make sure all components to your lots are there. All possibility of a refund is null and void once you have left our facility with the item(s).

2. POULIN ANTIQUES & AUCTIONS, INC. WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOUR BIDDING EXPERIENCE AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE: Whether you are bidding live, absentee or by phone, we ask that before you bid in any manner that you satisfy all your questions, so that you may feel confident in placing your bids with us. All the items we offer have been pre-owned, loved, handled and used. Keeping this in mind, we suggest you call us with your inquiries. Please call prior to the first day of the auction, at least 48 hours or sooner, to get any questions and/or damage reports available on the items that interest you.

Auctioneer’s sale recording shall be conclusive as to who was the successful purchaser and the purchase price. If there is no apparent interest in an item (1/3 of catalog low estimate) or an appreciable opening bid, (when no catalog is printed), the item will be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and will not be re-offered again until possibly at a later date.

4. 5.5% SALES TAX must be charged to all successful bidders. *Maine residents who do not present a valid ANNUAL RESALE CERTIFICATE at the time of registration will have to pay the 5.5% sales tax. NO EXCEPTIONS.

*We accept bids that end in 0 or 5 only. Bids that are placed in amounts such as $501.00 or $500.01 will be lowered to the closest amount ending in 0 or 5. We will never raise a bid higher without permission from the bidder.

& CONDITIONS

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

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

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

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

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

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

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

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

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

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

*After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

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

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

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

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

*Also Please Note: Please call in advance (at least 48 hours) of the auction if you need conditions or descriptions of the items. Staff members who are calling to handle your phone bids will not be able to answer questions pertaining to condition or description during the auction.

*The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as not to miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that takes place can and has interfered with customers bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.

*If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints.

*Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank you for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to

BUYER TERMS & CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ

insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answers to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.

*Cover Me Bids: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another to get through to the client on the telephone. A “Cover Me Bid” is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.

*Stop Point Bids: A staff member will contact you within 3-5 items prior to the item that you are interested in bidding on. We ask that you consider a “Stop Point”. This is a designated amount you wish the staff member to bid up to on this item for you. Because of the noise level that occurs during an auction, this creates less confusion on the phones for us and our customers. Once they reach this “Stop Point” amount they will then query you for the next desired amount that the auctioneer is asking for. You can then bid higher or stop if you so desire.

15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid.com, and iCollector. These are separate companies that are not owned by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc.

*You must submit a credit card with them when signing up to bid. These card numbers are not supplied to us. You will have to contact our office if successful and submit your credit card information to us.

*These are bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live. There is a 4% charge to use their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.

*Review all lots that interest you at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Sometimes we find a “change” in condition or listing. We cannot notify each person individually, so what we do is remove the photo and place a statement “No bids accepted online. Please call office to place bids.”

*Please Note: These online platforms tell you when you are the highest absentee bidder. This is only within their platform. AuctionZip, Invaluable, Proxibid, & iCollector do not share bid information and so they do not compare your bids with each other or with bids that we have taken in. If they tell you that you are the highest bidder that is only within their platform, not others.

*IMPORTANT: ALL LIVE INTERNET BIDDERS MUST READ THIS DISCLAIMER:

Live internet bidding is a fast paced process and can be very fun. However, problems can arise during the process that can result in a purchase or bid being accidently enacted by the buyer or some entity. This could be that your internet/computer speed or a lag in the connection may cause your computer to slow down and then all of a sudden, the computer may catch back up, causing the bidding to “jump” to a level that you are unprepared to bid. It could also be that your cat, dog, 2 year old or Martians from a far distant planet in a galaxy far, far away enacted a bid that you were not prepared to place. No matter the reason that may come up it is the responsibility of the bidder to pay for the purchase regardless of the reason.

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

Collecting Class III Weapons can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. In the United States, many but not all citizens of the U.S. have the right to purchase and own machine guns. This is true in most states of the United States, but not all states. It is your specific responsibility to determine your right to own and possess a Class III weapon before you bid on it. Once you have bid on a lot and won it, you are responsible for payment of that lot, regardless of whether you can own it or not. If you have purchased a lot and later find out that because of the state you live in or for other reasons that you cannot personally own it yourself, you will still be required to pay for the object and we will obviously have to sell it for you again at a future sale.

First and foremost, All NFA Rules Apply. All Class III firearms must be registered and properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. Class III Firearms we may be dealing with include the following: Machine Guns (MG), (Transferable, Pre-86 Dealer Samples and Post-86 Dealer Samples), Silencers, Destructive Devices (DD), Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS) and Any Other Weapon (A.O.W.). If you are an individual who resides in an area where these firearms are legal, you may bid on these items. You are responsible for knowing your State and Local laws. In order to complete the purchase of a Class III Firearm to a non-licensed individual, you will need the following:

1) 2 passport photos

2) 2 sets of fingerprints

3) 1 ATF Form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance and the appropriate BATFE Form completed in duplicate including the signature of your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. will supply all the proper forms upon acceptance of your winning bid.

If there are any State or local forms required you will be responsible for obtaining these.

Regardless of the specific type of Class III Firearm, completing the transfer to an individual usually takes approximately 90-300 days from the time they receive the completed paperwork. Transfer to a licensed dealer (FFL/SOT) is usually approximately 60-90 days. If you are a non-licensed individual the BATFE transfer fee for all NFA firearms (Machine Gun, Destructive Device, Silencer, Short Barreled Rifle, and Short Barreled Shotgun) is $200.00 with the exception of those narrowly classified as Any Other Weapon (AOW) which has a transfer fee of $5.00. AOWs may include pen-guns, cane guns, and certain pistols with vertical front pistol grips. These fees must be paid to Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. before any transfer paperwork can be submitted to BATFE as well as any other outstanding balances related to your Class III firearm purchase.

Please look into your own particular state law ahead of time when contemplating a bid. For more specific ownership information on NFA firearms, please visit the website of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives directly at www.atf.gov. If you are an individual (Non FFL/SOT) and reside in the State of Maine, we can transfer the firearms to you directly on an approved BATF Form 4 (subject to above rules) if you are the winning bidder. If you are an individual who resides in another State, we will need to transfer the Class III firearm to a Class III Dealer in your State to complete the transfer with you. Please understand that there is usually an additional fee from this third party for them to handle your transfer.

Donald “Duck” Combs

(1937-2023)

Donald Dean “Duck” Combs, born February 14, 1937 in Redding, was given the nickname “Duck” by a fun-loving uncle in reference to Donald Duck, who was introduced by Walt Disney in the same year. “Duck” grew up on farms in Rural Ringgold and Taylor counties, where he developed a love for the outdoors and sports. His passion for sports, hunting, fishing, bird-dogs, and appreciation for nature were encouraged by his family and remained with him throughout his life.

After graduating High School in 1955, where he excelled in baseball and basketball, he married Judy Stewart at Prescott, Iowa. Don and Judy worked together to earn college degrees from Northwest Missouri State University where he enjoyed playing semi-pro softball on Maryville, Missouri, teams.

Don started a 35-year teaching/coaching career at Prescott, Iowa. He taught American history and other social studies courses and taught many students to drive. He was a fierce competitor and coached like he played. The teams he coached were known for their excellent physical condition, hustle, competitive spirit, and “never-give-up” style of play. Don was inducted into the Iowa Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1992.

Don loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his life. His passion was quail hunting with his English pointer and German shorthair dogs that he raised and trained. He hunted ducks many years with buddies from Missouri and enjoyed several fishing trips to Minnesota and Canada.

Starting in 1988, he and Judy purchased the first of three parcels of land in Davis County. They established many conservation practices, planted thousands of trees, reestablished prairie grasses, built ponds and restored two log cabins from the mid-1800s.

Don collected firearms and sporting collectibles his entire adult life. He specialized in Winchester Model 12 & Model 42 shotguns, however in recent years; he built a collection of Remington Model 12 rifles. Ever the competitor, he started creating displays and competing in gun shows. His displays included related accoutrements and advertising that he constantly searched to find. These displays won many awards at major gun shows throughout the country, including “Best of Show” five times with five different displays at the prestigious Colorado Trophy Show in Denver.

In 1990, he collaborated with Ned Schwing to publish the book

“The Model 42 Winchester”, which featured many of his 42s and has become a well-known reference for collectors. Duck was a life member of the National Rifle Association, longtime member of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, the Winchester Arms Collectors, the Remington Society of America, as well as several other associations. For many years he was active in Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, and Ducks Unlimited. He was a 61-year member of Circle Lodge Number 555, A.F. and A.M., in Prescott, Iowa.

“Duck” was a people person as he loved interacting with people of all ages whether he knew them or not. He gleaned information from “old-timers” and fellow collectors as he sought them out at gun shows and auctions. In recent years he enjoyed making new friends with members of the Amish community, who were a great source of strength in his final months.

Poulin’s is extremely proud to bring Don’s collection to the auction venue and be able to provide a fabulous opportunity for firearm enthusiasts & collectors to acquire one or more examples from this wonderful collection.

Jerry Senter

(1938-2023)

“Old

Goat Gun Trader”

Born in 1938, Jerry lived his entire life on the same sheep farm in southwest Oklahoma. He travelled across the country in the 1950’s showing his Southdown sheep professionally His obvious love for the sheep-life lasted him a lifetime. On his farm, Jerry built a feedlot, raising and selling many breeds from coast to coast. As time passed, Jerry became one of the first farmers to obtain Boer goats when they were introduced into the United States from their southern Africa place of origin.

When Jerry was 9, he received a gift from his Grandfather, his very first rifle. This extraordinary gift triggered a lifelong love that molded Jerry into the man he became. For those fortunate enough to know Jerry and call him friend, they also called him the “Old Goat Gun Trader”.

Jerry became an entrepreneur of antique guns and a member of many gun clubs. His favorites were the Winchester 1873 together with Colt pistols. He followed this passion that drove him and as such, Jerry travelled for many years to gun shows all over the United States selling and trading rifles and pistols. He was well known at the shows and knew the answer to most gun questions that were asked of him.

Jerry loved to talk to anyone who would listen about his many lifetime adventures and share in his experiences. Jerry will be greatly missed at the shows but will always remain as “Old Goat Gun Trader”.

Poulin Firearms is exceptionally honored to have the opportunity to bring to auction the personal collection of Jerry Senter. We hope that you enjoy Jerry’s collection as much as he did and remember that we are all temporary custodians of these fine firearms.

Jon R. Thomas

(October 13, 1952 – March 15, 2023)

Known as Mr. Gun Sport, he was born at Georgetown Hospital in Washington, D.C., delivered, according to his mother, by the same doctor who delivered JFK.

Jon was the only child of Anna Mae (Taylor) Thomas and Robert Wilbur Thomas. He spent his first 12 years in Arlington, Virginia, a stone’s throw from D.C., where his mother worked at the Pentagon.

Jon recounted many stories about roaming the halls of the Pentagon on Saturdays and going through the filing offices where he read autopsy reports and looked through official biographies of Medal of Honor recipients. He would say that security was such that if his mom had wanted to sneak out any kind of documents in his Boy Scout yucca rucksack, she could have.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ann and Jon pulled up stakes and headed to Randolph Air Force Base and bought a home in Schertz, Texas. It was there that Jon realized his dream of living in the wide-open spaces of Texas, complete with rattlesnakes, prairie dogs, cow skulls, and tumbleweeds.

Jon missed half his sixth-grade year due to mono. It was Ann Thomas to the rescue with a copy of The Shooter’s Bible and a copy of Gun Digest. Jon devoured them cover to cover and committed all gun knowledge to memory. He worked and saved two years to purchase a Belgian Auto-5 shotgun and a Savage 99 rifle in .270. During his high school years, he worked on a survey team so he could carry a .357 revolver.

He graduated early to enlist at seventeen in the Marine Corps. It was the tail end of Viet Nam.

When the Drill Instructors at Camp Lejeune saw what an excellent marksman he was, they kept him stateside to train recruits in riflery. He was honorably discharged with the rank of -5 which he referred to as a “glorified grunt”.

After the Marines, Jon went to Sam Houston State University where he majored in playing pool and decided that college was not for him. He ended up clerking and gunsmithing at the Sportsman’s Bailiwick in San Antonio’s Alamo Heights area and progressed through the ranks. He started Thomas and Barrett Fine Guns in 1978 when he was twenty-six.

When the partnership dissolved, Jon put his credentials out for hire. That brought him to Odessa in 1984 to manage The Sportsman’s Den on Andrews Highway. It was there that a young cowgirl came in

to buy a rifle-and Jon was smitten. She was the first gal he had met who knew the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. He married Dolly Donaldson in September of 1985 (much to her sisters’ dismay) and they have shared a life of love and adventure for 37 years.

When Jon was handed his pink slip in 1989. It was no problem-Gun Sport Ltd. was born on a napkin in the kitchen of a small house on Crescent Drive. He made the gun show circuit-Houston, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Nashville-to acquire inventory. The first shop was on the second floor in a tiny office building, and sales were by appointment only because of his gun show schedule.

A few years later he bought the larger building at Dixie and University where he opened a full retail showroom with normal business hours. Jon’s 1975 brown and white Chevy Blazer was the “Open” sign. Jon loved buying and selling quality firearms and educating anyone who was willing to learn about the shooting sports.

Jon was also a Life-Member of TGCA, #261, and was well known in the collector community. His knowledge and friendship will be missed, but his spirit carries on in those who he touched.

In 1993, after seven years together, Jon and Dolly welcomed Miss Sarah Ruth, a blue-eyed blondeheaded baby who looked just like her “Papa.”. His philosophy of child rearing was to lecture loudly and carry a big ice cream scoop.

On was an avid reader and history scholar. He studied the tactics of generals, the policies of diplomats, and the rudiments and progressions of civilizations. His keen memory kept a catalogue of historical figures, dates and places, and film quotes. It could be said that he was a Renaissance man. Jon Thomas enjoyed many

hunting activities, but he especially loved upland bird hunting, travelling widely to pursue dove, quail, and Hungarian partridge. Though he shot all gauges well, he excelled with his personal favorite – a Grulla Armas matched pair in .28 and .410.

In 2019 Jon was diagnosed with Stage 4 renal failure and began 3 ½ years of dialysis. He kept his spirits high by electing evening dialysis so he could work at Gun Sport during the day. His recent 19-day hospital stay began with a blood infection that led to heart failure.

Jon had no trouble expressing his love for family and friends. He was a God-honoring man.

Jon leaves us with no question of his love. Semper Fidelis.

Gun Sport Ltd. was a staple in the industry not to just those in Texas, but across the country. Poulin Firearms is exceptionally honored to have been selected to bring these firearms to public auction.

Terrence Mathewson McCarty

Terrence was born in Miami, Florida in 1944. His life-long passion for firearms was certainly fostered by my father, who was a full Col. in USAF. Besides being stationed at Okinawa, the family also lived in Washington, DC and Omaha, Nebraska before returning to Miami in the mid-60s. Terry received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University, an MBA at University of South Florida and worked for IBM. He enlisted into the USAF during the Vietnam war and was Honorably discharged as a Stg.

During our time at Offutt Airforce base in Omaha, he joined the local NRA and was known for his marksmanship. It was during the late 90s, that he earnestly began collecting and dealing in firearms and was frequently an exhibitor at the various Florida guns shows as well as Knob Creek. He was a long-term member and range officer at the Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club. His interest in arms was eclectic, but with an eye on value, particularly for machine guns.

In dealing with his estate, I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of his gun friends. Truly his most important legacy, to me, is the new friends I have made. I asked Keith, being one of Terry’s closet friends if he would say a few words about my brother, as he knew him not only as a rifleman but a true friend, such follows:

“Terry was normally a private person. That changed when firearms were the topic of discussion. His conversation opener to the public was his gun show tables topped with a multi-shot 25mm Manville Gas Gun, Reising Model 55 with Paramarine Jump Case, or a few Jatimatic SMG’s. His opener with his shooting friends was “what do you think of …….”. He was always eager to learn and invited

others to enjoy his passion. He was an avid supporter of the Second Amendment and spent many hours at the local gun club helping with the facilities and running matches, the monthly SMG competition being one of his favorites. In his residential neighborhood, he invited families to the range to learn safe gun handling skills and marksmanship. Being considerate of the lives of his customers, Terry was thoughtful to recognize the family and even the pets of his customers. He was the nicest and most generous friend I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet.

It is said you are not gone until folks stop telling stories about you. I can tell you first-hand that Terry is going to be around for a long time.”

I sincerely hope that you will find the same kind of appreciation for Terry’s collection that my brother and dive buddy did. I will miss him dearly.

Enjoy, John McCarty

Poulin Antiques & Auctions is extremely proud to bring Terry’s collection to auction. While reviewing the inventory, we have discovered a treasure trove or firearms, parts & accessories that we are very excited to share with you. This is one of many upcoming sessions in which we will be offering a large variety of rare, unique & nearly impossible to find firearms, parts & accessories.

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.

For over 60 years he was a regular participant at gun shows all across the country and truly enjoyed spending time with others who shared his passion for firearms. He would be happy to know that many of his favorite pieces will find their way back into the collecting community.

Charlie didn’t just collect; he loved learning and researching about the history of his firearms. He relished becoming an expert on a topic and would gladly talk for hours with others who shared his passion. His drive to learn everything there is to know about his firearms pushed him to become one of the most knowledgeable people in the country on the FN High Power. He served as President of the Browning Collector’s Association, and attended gun shows all over the country with his FN High Power display (winning many awards such as 2001’s Best of Show at Kansas City’s National Summer Arms Show and 1st Place at the 2015 National Gun Day in Louisville, KY).

Poulin Auctions is extremely honored to bring a selection of Charles’ collection to the auction venue.

Jim’s love of collecting firearms began early. Over the years, this love became his passion.

His strong interest in Colt’s was one that propelled him to become part of the Colt Collector’s Club in Minnesota. Not only was he a member, he was President of the Northern Minnesota club for 8 years. He would have loved to have remained President, however, due to health issues, he had to resign.

Even though his most favorite gun to collect was 2nd Generation Colt Single Actions (nickel, of course), Jim was extremely interested in WWII Lugers including carbines. However, Jim also enjoyed pre-war firearms as you will see from the collection presented here.

Poulin Auctions is proud to bring Jim’s collection to the auction venue for all collectors to have the opportunity to add one or more of his pieces to their own collection.

Jim Williams (1946-2023) Chanhassen, Minnesota COLLECTION INDEX:

Dr. Lee Brend

Growing up in north central North Dakota, where you can see the Canadian and snow geese flying through the big blue skies, it was easy to become a hunting enthusiast. The small rural town of Mohall is where my childhood started in 1944. Looking out the back window to the north, you can see Canada and the magic of the Northern Lights.

Upon graduation from high school, (where I may or may not have graduated with honors… our class was so small, we honored each other). I bought my first Ruger with money I earned while working after school and weekends. In 1962, the Ruger 256 WIN MAG Hawkeye sold for $87.50. Over the past 60 plus years, I have collected Number 1 Ruger, 77 Ruger, Red Label and Gold Label shotguns and handguns. Additionally, I collected Winchester, Marlin, Savage and Remington guns. But, my all-time favorites will always be the Ruger.

Leaving Mohall, I attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the U of M with a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1969. I knew my draft number was up so instead of waiting for the mailman to tell me I was going be join the military, I enlisted

Dentistry is a profession I thoroughly enjoyed, but the outdoors was and still is my passion. I am an avid hunter, both waterfowl and small game, and an expert fly fisherman. I was often featured on a regional TV show with Tony Dean. During my dental career, I found great joy in organizing fly fishing seminars for the dental community. For twelve years, dentists would gather, fish, talk shop, and appreciate nature in all its glory in Canada. Throughout this journey, it’s always been about the people; the patients, the dentists, my family and the building of a camaraderie to experience nature. I worked with Game and Fish to establish a world class trout fishing experience in the Manitoba, Canada Parkland Region.

Hunting and fishing are my passions but hunting and fishing have double meanings in my life. The “hunt” for the next gun filled my days when the snow flew and the temperatures dipped across this great prairie and I was always “fishing” for the next good deal, looking for unique and unusual items to fill my collection.

in the Army in 1969 and served at Fort Huachuca and was shipped off to Vietnam. I have so many stories to tell about my days in Nam. It’s the people I met that are my lasting memories. In 1971, I finished my service and I moved to Bismarck, ND where I practiced dentistry for 50 years.

Octobers are spent at “duck camp” where my brothers and I gather in our hometown of Mohall to hunt upland birds and waterfowl. The remainder of the year, I travel between my homes in Bismarck and the Black Hills of South Dakota, where I enjoy fly fishing in the lakes and streams.

THE LEWIS DRAKE COLLECTION

who was an old-time dealer who had a vast knowledge of all types of muzzle loading firearms. Lewis’ passion has been for muzzle loaders both percussion and flint and later he became an expert with the long bow and over the years harvested a vast number of animals including a huge black bear which is listed in the Manitoba, Canada record book (this exact black bear will be included in the auction). Because of his great passion and love for guns, all during the time he was a doctor, he bought and sold from time to time but in early 2000, Lewis quit his medical practice and went to work for his wife!

Ruth Ann was the absolute love of his life. They met and married in 1989. She was a beautiful woman with an incredible work ethic and she was sharp as a tack. She as well as Lewis developed a great reputation for business and success in the firearms world. Initially, a great deal of their business dealt with very high-end accessories associated with quality sporting arms. (A number of examples of these things will be included in our various sales). Once Lewis left his medical practice, he then became full-time in the acquisition and selling of fine firearms and sporting accessories but flying continued to be a passion.

After the Deep Water Horizon oil spill, Lewis went to work in the Gulf of America flying the DC-3, DC-3T, DC-4 spray planes that helped to disperse the oil spill and continued working part-time flying in the Gulf, for the next 8 years, after which he returned to Murray State University and earned his B.S. in Biology in 2017.

Poulin Auction Company together with myself, Jim Julia, are exceedingly pleased and proud to have the honor in marketing the Lewis Drake Collection. The offering includes the inventory of Lewis Drake’s business together with some personal items. After approximately 40 years in the business, Lewis has decided to close his business and we will be selling many of his items in the Premier Firearms Auction in May. Other items will be dispersed at various online sales throughout the year also.

I have known of Lewis Drake and his wonderful reputation for a number of years and had done business with him on occasion but never had the chance to spend an extended amount of time with him until we were preparing for this auction. I am only sorry that Lewis was not my next-door neighbor. He is such an interesting and honorable man. Lewis is a lifelong resident of Kentucky and in his youth attended Columbia Military Academy graduating in 1961. He then went directly to Murray State University and eventually graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1966, receiving his BS degree in Chemical Engineering. Although many of the members of his family were physicians, Lewis initially decided he wanted to become a chemical engineer. He initially worked with the Ashland Oil and Refining Company in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. Then he went to Penwalt Chemical Company in Calvert City, Kentucky. Lewis has always been passionate about flying and obtained his commercial flying license in 1968 and later got his ATP license. After working as a chemical engineer during the day, in the evening, he would fly freight for Skyway. After a number of years working as a chemical engineer, Lewis decided he would like to enter the medical field and despite his age, he was able to get into a medical school and get his MD degree from the University of Kentucky in the 1980’s. He practiced as an Ob/Gyn in Murray, Kentucky for approximately 20 years. Lewis always loved firearms and started his business in the mid-1980’s. As a youth, he had spent a fair amount of time with Turner Kirkland,

453-2114

As a side note, Lewis’ father during WWII flew the C-47 which is the military designation for the DC-3. His father unfortunately died in the service of his country flying the C-47. Lewis is a detail-oriented person and skilled machinist. As such, he could repair firearms, making cartridge casings, and bullet molds for the 8-bore and 4-bore rifles. Over the years, Lewis and his wife made an incredible amount of friends through his business and together annually they would host a special gathering of many friends and clients at their Kentucky home.

In addition to developing a vast amount of friends and clients in the business, Lewis has always been noted as handling quality firearms and during his lifetime he has handled a vast array

of very impressive firearms. Lewis explained one of his early exciting discoveries was a rare 4-bore rifle that belonged to H.M. Stanley, “Dr. Livingston, I presume”. This was the very gun that Stanley carried with him in the search for Dr. Livingston. Lewis shared with me that a valued client of his who frequently purchased firearms from him, one day called up and indicated that he wanted to sell a few firearms. They discussed the various

guns he wanted to sell and prices and one of the items was this 4-bore rifle. Lewis agreed to purchase the items over the phone for the client’s asking price but when he arrived to pick up the guns, the seller mentioned to Lewis, “By the way, I forgot that 4-bore supposedly used to belong to H.M. Stanley and was used when he found Livingston”. Lewis had not previously known this and indicated to the client that he probably wanted more money

in light of this information but the client said that he was sticking by the price he quoted and happy to sell it to Lewis. After a great deal of research, Lewis was able to positively identify and prove that the gun was Stanley’s and eventually sold it to one of his very special clients. It now resides in the NRA Museum.

We are most proud to have been selected by Lewis to handle his firearms and we join with Lewis in hoping that all of these wonderful items will find a great home with many of you.

1001. RARE, FULLY TRANSFERABLE, ORIGINAL HIGH STANDARD M2HB 50 CALIBER MACHINE GUN WITH TRIPOD. CURIO. Cal. 50 BMG. S# 003477. Bbl. 45”. The Browning M2HB, affectionately referred to in military circles as “Ma Duece” is another evolution of the successful John Browning designed, recoil operated & belt fed guns that populated the battlefields following WWI. In an effort to build a gun that was comparable to the French 11mm Hotchkiss, w/ a primary purpose of deflating observation balloons & disabling aircraft, the .50 BMG was designed and introduced for the M1921A1, which was quickly modified & reintroduced as the M2. Barrel heating issues would lead to the heavy barrel version that we now know as the M2HB. There were several manufacturers of the M2HB including High Standard, best known today for their high end, accurate .22 pistols. This beautiful example has a parkerized finish on all exterior surfaces. Hooded front sight blade w/ coinciding rear ladder sight adjustable to 2600 meters. 10” ventilated barrel shroud.

1002. RARE ORIGINAL FULLY TRANSFERABLE COLT COMMERCIAL MG40 AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN. CURIO. Cal. 30-06. S# C-110643. Bbl.25”. A rare variant of the AN-M2 machine gun, developed for aircraft use. The Colt M.G.40 shares some aesthetics w/ the much more common Browning Model 1919, though upon close examination is quite different. It was designed to be used as a single gun, or in combination w/ others for a multi-gun system. It can be configured to feed from both the right side & left side to suit the intended application. It has a cyclic rate much faster than the Browning relative as well. This particular example is set up to feed from the right side.

1003. FULLY TRANSFERABLE, ORIGINAL ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL BROWNING MODEL1917A1 WATER COOLED MACHINE GUN ON TRIPOD. CURIO. Cal. 30-06. S# 716203. Bbl. 24”. The 1917A1 water cooled MG is an iconic part of any WWI through Korean War scenery as viewed from the lens of a war photographer; In movies & in photographs, the 1917 could be seen mounted 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 mfg. by Rock Island Arsenal. All external metal components are parkerized & the steel water jacket has been finished to perfectly match receiver. Single spade grip is also parkerized. Rear sight graduated ladder/peep w/ micro adjustable 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. Threaded water plugs on bbl. jacket are present & functional, as well as front lower cork assembly which has succumb to age and only partially present. It sits upon a 1917A1 tripod w/ cradle assembly, fully adj. for traverse & elevation. Steel data plate on rear tripod leg reads “NO. 160495”, however aging has affected the clarity of the number itself. It continues “MOUNT, TRIPOD / M1917A1 / MCE. CO, 1942 / R.E.H.”. Markings on Browning right side plate include “No. 716203 OG, BA, FK / BROWNING MACHINE GUN / U.S. CAL. .30 M1917A1 / MANFD. BY ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL / PATENT 1,621,476 / RIA”. MAGS: 4 cloth belts, various lengths & origins. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Steel water chest, marked “CHEST, WATER, M1A1”, measuring 8”x13”x4.5”, Model of 1918 steel belt loading machine w/ wooden chest. Wooden ammo box, mounted in the cradle on the tripod measuring 5”x13”x8”, 1 spare pistol grip, steel w/ wood grip panels. CONDITION: Finish is complete & consistent w/ very little blemishing of any kind. Some typical thinning in areas of mechanical intervention, but this gun is as clean as any this cataloger has handled in the past. For a gun of this age it is stunningly beautiful & clean. Tripod painted with a few coats of O.D. Green, w/ all areas displaying numbers cleaned or highlighted. All aspects of tripod including micro adjustable in T&E mechanism are smooth & tight. Leather strap still present at data plate. Letters on gun are filled w/ white for a sharp contrast & easy read. Belt loader appears to have been used very little, if at all.

The M37 is an evolution of the Browning Machine Gun introduced in the late 1940’s as a tank gun. It was designed to have the ability to be fed from both the left side & right side through the use of duel slots on the bolt, similar to the Browning 50 caliber M2. At first glance it might be mistaken for a Model 1919 A6, due to the carry handle located forward of the front trunnion & the familiar ventilated barrel shroud.

early prototypes were made by High Standard between 1941-1942 but it was Marlin Firearms Company that took it into full production, manufacturing around 15,000 units before the entire run was purchased by the United States government. All examples were rumored to have been sold off to Allied Nations for use in defense w/ some tied to American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operations. The 9mm Parabellum cartridge was chosen since it was in use at the time by so many allied nations, making ammunition availability easy. Some were purchased by the Dutch Government and others were reported to have been air dropped to friendly underground organizations. In the UK, they were simply known as “The Marlin”. Construction was more complicated than period typical submachine guns, manufactured from steel w/ several necessary machining operations, it was robust & functioned well in adverse conditions. It is an open bolt, blowback operated mechanism with a floating firing pin that is struck by a hammer upon the closing of the bolt. It utilizes a non-reciprocating charging handle, located on the right side of the receiver w/ a secondary function of clearing the bolt path of debris. The overall length is 32.5”. It has a unique tubular receiver that steps down in diameter closer to the muzzle, w/ a barrel diameter even smaller than the last receiver section, giving the appearance of a telescopic tube. The extractor is pressed into the left side of the receiver, directly across from the right side ejection port. It is fed from a 20 rd. detachable magazine located directly below the ejection port.

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.

1014. FULLY TRANSFERABLE U.S. 60MM M19 MORTAR BY HAMILTON & SONS FIREARMS. DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE. Cal. 60MM. S# PKM601. Bbl. 30”. The U.S. M19 60MM Mortar was developed during WWII to serve as a portable, lightweight mortar system that could deliver high angle fire from a reasonable distance while being fielded by ground troops. First introduced in 1942, it was used to deliver High Explosive (HE) rounds, Illumination Rounds & High Volume Smoke Rounds. The average muzzle velocity of these rounds was approximately 550 feet per second, w/ an effective range of over 5500 feet. It replaced the M2, and offered the ability to be trigger fired, rather than just a strait drop fire. It also utilized a smaller base plate than the M2 to cut back on unnecessary weight. Its use was short lived as it couldn’t retain the accuracy of the M2 without the heavy base plate, and when outfitted w/ it, it was actually heavier than the M2 it was designed to replace. Though its military use in the U.S. was relatively short lived, it did see action in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. It is still in use today in the military of other nations. This example is painted an attractive shade of OD Green & retains the original style sling / muzzle cap. It has the correct, small base plate. This particular piece was manufactured by Hamilton & Son Firearms and is listed in the NFA Registry as a fully transferable Destructive Device. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Unmarked M2 style base plate & 16 practice rounds (many w/ fins). CONDITION: Finish complete & consistent w/ almost no sign of handling or use.

The MG34 is one of the most recognizable of the German WWII era MG’s. Designed by Mauser on order of the Waffenamt, it was manufactured in the early days where German tolerances & quality were front & center, over the later guns all nations involved would be forced to manufacture which placed the focus on quick & inexpensive. The MG34 can easily be described as functional artwork. 109 Different parts were manufactured from bar stock, obviously before the pressed & stamped manufacturing processes would eventually take over. Before WWII was over, almost 500,000 MG34’s were produced by 5 different firms. The trigger mechanism of the MG34, though complicated in design, was extremely simple for the operator since no external selector was necessary to switch between semiautomatic & fully automatic fire. The elongated trigger could simply be depressed at the top for semiautomatic & squeezed at the bottom for full automatic fire. With an overall length of almost 48” & a sight radius of 21”, neither accuracy nor the ability to lay down an enormous amount of lead would pose to be a problem. Front sight is a folding blade, rear sight is a graduated notch from 200 to 2000 meters. Visible Waffenamt markings in several locations. Heavily knurled cocking handle. Ventilated barrel shroud with AA sight base doubling as front sling swivel, currently sporting AA “spider web” front sight. Integral folding bipod locks correctly in retracted position. Correct barrel booster locks into position with a spring loaded mechanism built into the front sight mount. Matching numbers “1840e” on several visible parts such as receiver, stock & barrel jacket. Several German Party symbols scattered throughout as typical of period German manufacture. Lafette tripod is painted dark green and appears to be functional in all aspects. Trigger mechanism is smooth, as is the traverse & elevation mechanism. This tripod still retains the frnt pads & coverings. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Lafette Tripod, 5 lengths of non-desintegrating belt links. CONDITION: finish on all external metal parts is a little nicer than par with the majority of these era guns. Coverage is complete with some signs of handling and use as expected. Several of the parts are original German arsenal replacements, bearing several different numbers. Numerous Waffenamts and factory codes, in several locations. Hardwood stock presents as usual, w/ scattered light impressions and a small crack on left side running rearward from the steel collar, however it doesn’t appear to have any structural significance.

1021. EXTREMELY COMPLETE VS&M VICKERS MACHINE GUN WITH FLUTED BARREL JACKET WITH PLETHORA OF PARTS & ACCESSORIES. Cal. .303. S# H2561. Bbl. 28”. The Vickers Machine Gun was originally referred to as the Vickers Maxim. It was adopted by Great Britain in 1912. It remained a principal machine gun through WWI & WWII until being replaced by the “L7A1 GPMG” in the 1960s. Though they were at one time available w/ two different water jackets, a corrugated style & the more traditional smooth side Maxim type, this gun is of the corrugated style. They were available in both ground gun & in aircraft gun variants. This example appears to be a Portuguese contract gun, as it is marked FBT on the right side of the receiver. All exposed steel surfaces are finished in a nice matching dark black, pleasantly accented by the traditional brass parts including the water jacket plugs, the feed block and the left-side scope mount as well as the traditional tripod. The beautiful hardwood spade grips have steel oil caps that include the oil brushes in matching black steel. This example comes w/ a standard brass & steel ground tripod. Tripod has steel legs w/ the rear most measuring 26” in length and the front legs measure 22” in length. All three legs are adj. for height and/or configuration and places the bottom of the receiver to rest at approximately 29” from the ground. The tripod’s steel cradle locks into the 360° marked brass portion of the tripod, which is elevated an additional 7” above the legs of the tripod. The elevation mechanism utilizes a steel wheel for micro adjustments while traversing freely. The entire tripod is currently painted green, aside from the brass traverse portion, which retains its natural finish with degree marks and numbers painted black. This Vickers is equipped w/ iron sights which consist of a protective blade front sight forward of the water jacket & an elevation adj. rear peep sight marked in meters from 0 to 2,600 with a flip-up battle sight for close range combat. It is sporting the correct brass scope mount on the left side marked “Bracket, Dial Sight, MK II” on top. Mount sporting MKII Dial sight. Current configuration appears to be 7.62x54R and also includes many parts necessary to convert to 8mm Mauser. BATF Registry indicates manufacturer as “VS&M” w/ the originally listed caliber as .303 British. MAGS: 1 cloth belt with brass tabs and eyelets. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Brass belt filling machine (partially complete), Australian No. 8 Mk. 1 belt box w/ leather straps, MK II Dial Sight in green steel box w/ accessories, 2 spare feed blocks labeled 8mm, 1 spare lock assembly, appears to be .303 British, 1 MKI Flash Eliminator, 1 MKI Foresight Deflection Bar in tan canvas case, 1 Steam Hose, & 1 Slide Rule for .303 MK VIII ammo.

MARK III LEWIS MACHINE GUN. CURIO. Cal. 303 British. S# A95. Bbl. 26”. The Lewis Machine Gun was one of the first light machine guns to be used in war time in a large scale. The first was originally adopted by the Belgian Army in 1913. The British Army, soon thereafter obtained manufacturing rights & it was made in large numbers for the remainder of the war. The primary interest points were two-fold; it was light enough to be fielded by a single man, where it could keep up with an infantry battle. The second attractive point was the fast turn around in manufacturing. 6 Lewis guns could be made with the same time & expense it took to build a single Vickers gun. The Lewis Gun is a gas operated, open bolt mechanism that fires in full automatic only w/ an average cyclic rate of approximately 550 rounds per minute. It is fed w/ a pan-style drum, typically made to hold either 47 rounds or 97 rounds. The action is based on a turning bolt w/ rear locking lugs. It was made in large quantities during WWI & was used by France, The Netherlands, Norway, Japan, Imperial Russia, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Honduras, Nicaragua,the United States & the British Commonwealth. One common visual characteristic of the Lewis Gun, aside from the pan style drum magazine, is the large barrel jacket that conceals the cooling fins around the barrel. At first glance it looks more like the water cooled machine guns of the era though this design is air cooled only. This particular example was manufactured by Birmingham Small Arms Ltd. in England for Armes Automatiques Lewis in Belgium, & marked as such on top receiver cover. It is a Model 1914, designated the “Lewis Auto Gun”. All exterior metal surfaces are blued. The front sight is a protected blade. Rear sight is an elevation adjustable vertical peep sight marked out to 1900 meters. It is a gas operated, full auto only action, charged by a reciprocating charging handle located on the left side. It has the large-bow trigger guard forward of its pistol grip, w/ 2-piece hardwood grip panels. Hardwood shoulder stock w/ steel butt plate, rear sling swivel & top mounted, threaded oil canister & brush. Receiver & cooling jacket marked matching “92014” with a strike-through. Under the magazine it is marked “A95” the serial number under which it was registered, as indicated on paperwork. Folding bipod wraps around cooling jacket & retained w/ brass wing nut, marked “MOUNT FIELD .303 / LEWIS GUN MARK III / H&E Ltd. MAKERS / BIRMINGHAM”. Sling swivels front & rear. MAGS: 4 steel 47 rd. drums, marked “303 MkVI & VII”. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Tan canvas & aluminum brass catcher, Tan, canvas dual mag. pouch on tan canvas belt, wooden carry handle on barrel band, spare .303 bolt, spare trigger group w/ earlier, smaller trigger guard.

1023. VERY NICE BRITISH HOTCHKISS PORTABLE MK1* MACHINE GUN. Cal. .303 British. S# 23973. Bbl. 23.5”. The rights to manufacture the Hotchkiss Machine Gun were was purchased by Great Britain to increase the number of machine guns in inventory during World War 1. Introduced in March of 1916, it was designated the Mark 1 & fed from rigid metal feed strips. Shortly after its introduction, it was revised to have the ability to function w/ both feed strips and belted ammunition. This was done primarily to make it more suitable for use as tank guns & received the new designation as the Mark 1*, introduced in June of 1917. This example is the Cavalry model, which was manufactured w/ a removable tubular shoulder stock attached to a short brass pistol grip. The stock tube was encased in 2 circular wooden pieces & the rear had a hinged shoulder rest to help support & control during use. Typical of the Hotchkiss designs, the barrel is massive, measuring over an inch in diameter at its smallest, increasing to a 6” section of large cooling fins towards the chamber, measuring over 1.75” in diameter. Toward the chamber end of the barrel, approximately at the 1/2 way point of the gun are 2 mounting trunnions used to interface w/ the mounting apparatus, in this case a small, swiveling & folding, brass & aluminum tripod, supporting the Hotchkiss 12” above the ground. Tripod marked “MOUNTING TRIPOD”. This tripod has 360 degrees of movement when employed. The sights are offset to the left side w/ the front sight consisting of an exposed blade. The rear sight is elevation adjustable from 100 meters to 2000 meters. Left side of receiver marked; “HOTCHKISS PORTABLE MACHINE GUN MK1* / PATENTED / CALIBER .303 / No E.23973”. Top cover marked; “BELT OR STRIP FEED”. Feed spring marked “No 2”. The operating mechanism is an open bolt, gas operated, select fire system. The safety / selector is located to the rear of the rifle, combined w/ the charging handle, and has the appearance of a very large bolt action rifle. After charging the system by pulling it to the rear, the degree it is locked closed in will determine whether it is in safe, semiautomatic or fully automatic. There is also an extra position for disassembly, to fully remove the charging handle to the rear so it is extremely important to fully understand this system before trying to operate it.. MAGS: 1 brass 30 rd. & 1 steel 30 rd feed strip. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1 spare tripod assembly, 1 spare bolt & bolt carrier, 1 spare grip frame, 1 spare charging handle, 1 spare handguard, 2 spare recoil springs & some misc. small parts.

A beautiful piece of history brought home from WWII by S/Sgt. Clience Southerland, a member of the 101st Airborne’s 401st Glider Infantry Regiment. He received decorations & citations from his time including the following, as listed; “Distinguished Unit Badge, American Defense Service Medal, American Theater Service Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Good Conduct Medal, European African Middle Eastern Service Medal with 4 Bronze Stars & 1 Bronze Arrow Head”. The STEN was the standard SMG of the British armed forces during WWII & remained in service until the late 1950s. A simple select-fire, open bolt, blowback operated design with a very slow cyclic rate, & few moving parts. It has unique silhouette and is easily recognizable due to its left side magazine placement, directly across from the ejection port. Selector is located in front of trigger, marked w/ “A” for full auto and an “R” for semiautomatic fire. This particular example is an original, brought home from WWII & registered by S/Sgt. Clience Southerland of the 101st Airborne, 401st Glider Infantry. Accompanying this amazing firearm are several original pieces of correspondence between S/Sgt Sotherland & his future wife, Miss Pearl Sykes. It also includes his original military separation report, the original letter from the IRS explaining they would be assigning an agent to investigate weather his guns necessitated registration with the BATF under provisions of the National Firearms Act, and the original form 6 used to register this unique firearm. One of the envelopes mailed to his wife includes the original World War II-era propaganda cartoon titled “Stamp ‘Em Out!” It depicts caricatures of Axis leaders Adolf Hitler, Hideki Tojo, and Benito Mussolini being stomped on by a boot symbolizing the Allied forces.

BRITISH STERLIN MKII (FLEX) HEAVY MACHINE GUN. CURIO. Cal. 303. S# B112918. Bbl. 24”. A British Aircraft version of the Browning machine gun. The MKII, chambered in .303 British, was the standard aircraft gun used by the British in WWII. Heavily modified from the early 1930 pattern, belt fed, Colt Browning machine gun, the British redesigned their MKII to fire from an open bolt. It had an incredibly high rate of fire compared to the much more common Browning family of belt feeds. It currently utilizes a short buffer tube w/ an exposed trigger & is configured for left hand feed, though it is convertible to right or left. It also has present a duel pistol grip mechanism (unattached) as well as the original style external pull charging handle mechanism. US 30-06 links maybe used to feed the MKII though they must undergo a large amount of modification first. It is perhaps easiest fed when utilizing the cloth US 3006 belt. In order to utilize this aircraft gun in a ground mount capacity it is cocked utilizing a stubby short charging handle on the right side of the gun, while RAF gunners had the luxury of utilizing a cable based charging system for official use. The barrel jacket is slotted for cooling & it is currently equipped w/ the special MKII flash hider. The sight front sight is an exposed, hi-rise front pin (unattached). Finish on all exterior metal surfaces is dark & parkerized. MAGS: 1 new US cloth belt. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: D-style duel rear pistol grip assembly, external pull rod charger & tall front sight. CONDITION: this is an uncommon & desirable WWII machine gun to find in the United States.

1029. VERY RARE JAPANESE TYPE 92 LEWIS AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN. Cal. 7.7mm Rimmed. S# 378-45. Bbl. 26”. Mfg. 1943. Open bolt, gas operated machine gun, fed from a 97 round pan magazine. First adopted by the Japanese in 1932 & utilized in both the Army & Navy. Originally introduced as the Type 91 Navy Aircraft Machine Gun. When production began in 1932, there was a high percentage of parts that were actually interchangeable w/ the British Lewis Gun. The most obvious difference between the Japanese & the British Lewis is the left side position of the charging handle on the Japanese gun, where it was positioned on the right by the British. It utilizes a leather wrapped single spade grip positioned at the rear of the receiver, which doubles as an oil reserve, hosting a long brush beneath the threaded steel cover. The trigger mechanism is located forward of a single pistol grip located below the action inside an elongated trigger guard. The sights are unique to the aircraft guns, consisting of a rear mounted circle, measuring 3” in diameter w/ a smaller circle in the center & wires running through the center, much like a traditional crosshair. This example has no sights present. The front sight is a tall post. Unlike many traditional Lewis guns, there is no large, round barrel jacket, or radiator on the Aircraft variant, but just an exposed barrel & gas tube, much like a typical Japanese machine gun. The finish on all exposed metal parts is a dark black mixed w/ traditional bluing. Several Japanese markings on barrel shroud & receiver, highlighted in white and easy to read, not so easy to translate. Some receiver markings, below top mounted drum translated to; “AIKAWA NAVY ENGINEERING EDITION / TYPE92 7.7 / SWOWA YEAR 18”. Larger, elongated trigger guard. Single pistol grip at rear of action, wrapped in leather. Other markings include an anchor below serial number. Receiver is marked on bottom, to the rear of the ejection port “REBUILT BY P VOGLER / CARBONDALE ILL CAL 7.7MM”. While the NFA Registry reflects this gun is chambered in 7.7MM, as well as this marking, it is important to note that many of these Navy Japanese Aircraft Lewis Guns were ordered in, and remained chambered in .303 British, which is dimensionally very similar in size. MAGS: 1 steel 97 rd. pan. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Several small parts in plastic bin labeled “.303 Lewis Parts / British / Japanese”. Includes 2 spare gears, 1 spare bolt, & assorted small parts. CONDITION: Finish is complete & consistent. w/ remarkable coverage. Markings are all clear, most highlighted white, and easy to read. Pan magazine appears equally clean. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though recoil spring feels extremely light when returning bolt into battery.

Very fine & very early Japanese Type 99 LMG made before Pearl Harbor in April 1941. This is the earliest Type 99 this cataloger has had the pleasure of seeing. The Type 99 Nambu LMG is widely regarded as one of the best light machine guns of the Second World War. In his book “Shots Fired In Anger A Rifleman’s View of the War in the Pacific 1942-1945” John George states “Nambu Light Machine Guns caused me the greatest and most demoralizing fear I have known in all the combat I have seen.”. The 99 was the larger caliber successor to the famed Type 96 light machine gun. Machine gun is equipped with a blade front sight with protective ears & an adjustable aperture rear sight.

The MKII, chambered in .303 British, was the standard aircraft gun used by the British in WWII. Heavily modified from the early 1930 pattern, belt fed, Colt Browning machine gun, the British redesigned their MKII to fire from an open bolt. It had an incredibly high rate of fire compared to the much more common Browning family of belt feeds. It currently utilizes a single spade grip & is configured for left hand feed, though it is convertible to right or left. US 30-06 links maybe used to feed the MKII though they must undergo a large amount of modification first. It is perhaps easiest fed when utilizing the cloth US 3006 belt. In order to utilize this aircraft gun in a ground mount capacity it is cocked utilizing a stubby short charging handle on the right side of the gun, while RAF gunners had the luxury of utilizing a cable based charging system for official use. The barrel jacket is slotted for cooling & it is currently equipped w/ the special MKII flash hider. The sight radius is 32” in length & consists of an exposed front pin & a rear notch sight. Finish on all exterior metal surfaces is dark & parkerized. MAGS: 3 US cloth belts. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: external feed chute adapter, painted white.

New To Market, Extremely Rare, Fully Transferable Finnish Jati SMG

impulse, similar in design to the 1870’s Armstrong Cannon and other coastal artillery pieces. This principle lead to the design of the Jati-Matic SMG. It was manufactured in Finland at Tampereen Asepaja (TAP), a company previously specializing in sporterized military rifles, founded in the early 1920s. In the early 1980s, approximately 400 Jati-Matic SMGs were manufactured but due to the strict Finnish export regulations it was never allowed to be a commercially viable project. Any of the very few that were imported into the United States prior to 1986 are extremely collectable and highly sought after. The Jati-Matic is a blowback operated, open bolt design. It wasn’t offered w/ a stock, meant to be used similar to a pistol, though best operated w/ both hands. The charging handle shares operation as a folding, vertical foregrip. Stamped metal rectangular receiver w/ plastic trigger group frame & mag-well. There is no traditional safety or selector. Though it is supposed to be select fire, utilizing a progressive trigger to determine the firing mode, the few examples this cataloger has handled have functioned as full auto only. This requires a very light trigger pull to fire in semiautomatic. The front sight is a protected post & the rear sight is a notch, factory calibrated at 100 meters. Charging the Jati-Matic is accomplished by folding the front grip downward and pulling strait to the rear. After returning it to the front, it is clicked into the firing position where it takes on the role of forward vertical foregrip. Imported through Omni Ordnance in Dallas, Texas. MAGS: 1 aluminum 40rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Spare bolt. CONDITION: Very little sign of prior use. Finish is complete & consistent w/ some thinning in areas of mechanical intervention & on a few high spots. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.

Cal. 380 ACP. S# A13. Bbl. 5”. 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-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. While the traditional MAC 10 or even the 9mm M-11 were generally considered “boxey” 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 has a dark 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. 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.

1049. VERY RARE & DESIRABLE INTERDYNAMICS MP-9 SUBMACHINE GUN. Cal. 9mm. S# 00011. Bbl. 5.25”. A very special submachine gun, both in rarity & in its place in the firearms industry. The Interdynamic MP-9 is an open bolt, blowback, select fire, submachine gun that is the grandfather of the infamous KG-9, and the later TEC-9 pistol family. Introduced in 1983, less than 25 were manufactured before Congress passed the Hughes Amendment of the Gun Owner Protection Act, making it illegal to manufacture a new machine gun for individual ownership. While designed in Sweden, it never entered production in its home country & set up an American subsidiary in the United States, headed up by Carlos Garcia & George Kellgren, who would later found Kel-Tec. They had earlier introduced a semiautomatic version, the KG-9, which was an open bolt, blowback operated system. Following the 1982 BATF ruling outlawing open bolt semi auto firearms, they were redesigned as a striker fired, closed bolt system & designated the KG-99. The U.S. based branch located in Miami, FL eventually changed company name to Intratec where they later marketed it as the Tec-9, later changing to the DC-9. Following the Federal knee jerk reactionary assault weapons ban, changes were made to comply, such as mfg. the bbl. w/out threads at the bore where it was re-branded once again as the AB-10 (“AB” is After Ban). This example is a rare, original, select-fire MP-9. It is not a later converted TEC-9, but the real deal, manufactured in numbers rumored to be less than 25 units as configured in select-fire, w/ a factory collapsing stock. Units that were full auto only, w/ no stock were also manufactured in slightly larger numbers. Polymer frame & tubular upper receiver extended to the front, as a ventilated barrel shroud. Factory barrel includes compensator cuts forward of the barrel threads. Fixed sights permanently attached to receiver. The safety is built into the charging handle which engages into a slot cut at approx. 11 o’clock in the tubular receiver. It is engaged by rotating the bolt so the safety coincides w/ the safety slot. Parkerized matte black finish on exposed metal surfaces. Polymer receiver is injection molded black in color. Mag. release is located below the trigger to the rear of the mag. well. Selector is located forward of the trigger inside the trigger guard. Collapsible wire stock extends 8.5” rear of the receiver when extended. The MP-9 is functional w/ the stock open or closed. Vertical front pistol grip resides below the barrel shroud. Left side sling attachment points, currently sporting black nylon sling. MAGS: (3 total). 2 steel 32 rd. 1 steel 50 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Slotted, 7” barrel extension & leather briefcase. CONDITION: Matte black finish is complete & consistent w/ some gentle thinning in areas of mechanical intervention & some high spots. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT MG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.(03-1859/JZ). MODERN.

AMERICAN ARMS INTL

AM180 SMG Cal. 22 LR. S# DX025. Bbl. 10”. Originally mfg. & imported from Austria, the earliest American 180 variants were classified as Dealer Samples due to the inability to import transferable machine guns after 1968. E&L mfg. started building a version in the United States & since they were domestic in mfg., these were fully transferable firearms. The American 180 is an open bolt, select fire 22 LR buzz saw that typically feeds from a 176 rd., 3 tiered metal circular mag. mounted on top of the receiver. E&L mfg. made a few plastic mags. w/ a capacity of 165 rds., 220 rds. & 275 rds. All of them utilize a captured spring winding mechanism to operate, just like the originals. The cyclic rate is often rumored to be in excess of 2000 RPM & a single burst in a full mag. is completed in only 7 seconds. The sound is as unique as its appearance, compared more to that of a chainsaw than a firearm because of the excessive cyclic rate. The barrel is finned in a similar style to that of the legendary Thompson w/ a plastic, slip-on protected blade front sight. Rear sight not present. The pistol grip & shoulder stock are an attractive matching hardwood. Vertical foregrip is black plastic. Finish on all exposed metal parts is blued for steel, such as the barrel, or black anodizing on the receiver section. Left side non reciprocating charging handle. Safety is located on the right side of the receiver. The selector is a cross slide pin. When pushed from left to right, full auto is selected & will continue to fire as long as trigger is held to the rear. When the pin is pushed in from the right, it is an open bolt semi auto action. The unique drum, w/ winding assembly is mounted on the top, above the chamber, forward of the trigger. The ejection port is below the firearm forward of the trigger. Receiver markings directly below drum placement include “AMER. ARMS INTL. SLC UT / AMERICAN 180 M-2 PAT. 3969980”. Removable rear stock locks w/ a single push button to the rear of the receiver similar to that of a Thompson SMG. MAGS: 2 original steel drums believed to be 177 rds. each w/ steel winder. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: plastic drum loading tray, spare brown plastic shoulder stock, 1 spare trigger group w/ brown plastic grip, 2 hardwood horizontal forends, 1 Thompson vertical foregrip, 1 mag pouch, 1 green web sling, tan Lucid Optics Reflex Sight, & several small replacement parts including bolt, top cover, trigger & others. CONDITION: original finish enjoys full coverage on exposed metal surfaces w/ some thinning on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. Wood furniture exhibits only light handling marks w/ a few small impressions typically associated w/ storage. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Both drums appear to be functional & both rotate freely. Bright bore w/ visible rifling. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT SMG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.

rifle in the United States is absolutely the AR-15. 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 ArtillerieInrichtingen (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 example is an original Armalite AR10 manufactured in the Netherlands. Since it was a machine gun, imported into the United States after 1968, it is classified by the BATF as a “Pre-86 Dealer Sample”, often referred to as a “Keeper”, since it can be owned by an individual, as long as it was purchased while holding an FFL / SOT. Dark black finish on all exposed metal surfaces. Barrel is terminated w/ ventilated 3 prong flash hider forward of bottom mounted bayonet lug w/ correct ventilated barrel shroud. Tall, protected blade front sight coincides w/ adjustable peep sight mounted inside the rear of the carry handle. Rear sight wheel is marked w/ numbers ranging from “1” to “6”.

Thinning is minimal, even in areas of mechanical intervention. Makers markings filled w/ white for contrast, making them easy to read.

The French Army did not have an advanced machine to fill their feed strips for the Hotchkiss Model 1914, due to the large rim of the 8mm Lebel round. The Turkish Army had a variant chambered in 8mm Mauser, and utilized this dedicated filling machine to simplify the task. They were manufactured by Hotchkiss for export to Turkey. It resides in its original steel chest, measuring approximately 17.75” x 8.5” x 3.75”. The chest utilizes a pair of brass hinges in the rear w/ a brass hasp at the front, and a folding brass handle on 1 side of the chest. The loader used a hardwood base that was clamped to a desk or bench & an assortment of steel & brass hand tools to fill the strips. It even includes a resizing tool to straiten the strips when necessary & to realign the fingers that hold the cartridges in place. To load feed strips, cartridges were pre-loaded on 5 round stripper clips & loaded into the cartridge placement tool. The feed tool would hand off the rounds into the cartridge feed guide where they were forced down, and into the feed strip. MAGS: 7 brass feed strips. CONDITION: Kit appears to be completely functional. It is quite amazing for a machine gun accessory of this vintage to be so complete and in such nice condition. The brass parts have a light, time earned patina & the steel parts still have a smooth finish w/ very little staining. PROVENANCE: From the Lifelong Collection of Brian Linde. (02-23926-2/JZ).

1228. FANTASTIC PREWAR ESTONIAN POLICE PISTOL, SPECIAL FACTORY MARKING. Cal. 9mmP (9mm Luger). S# 1. This extraordinary HP pistol is the first Estonian HP ever produced and discussed in detail in the Vanderlinden book “The FN Browning Pistols” 3rd edition, Vol II on pg 715. It was manufactured in 1936 as part of the first Estonian order for 120 police pistols, which were numbered in ascending order and delivered without special markings, otherwise appearing as commercial guns (commercial HPs with serial numbers 1-5 were not finished, presumably due to manufacturing issues). Interestingly, this particular gun is marked with an underlined “20” under the rear sight, FN’s manner of indicating the gun was a prototype or to be retained by the factory. This HP is identical to the Commercial #46, as detailed/photographed in the Vanderlinden book on pg 696, with respect to its markings, proofs, caliber denotation, and serial number, being an all-matching example with the barrel number on the left (hidden) side of the chamber. Fitted with walnut checkered/bordered grips and a Prewar Belgian Army magazine having an aluminum follower, phosphate body whose spine was marked with the encircled “H” and a rust blued floorplate. CONDITION: very good original rust blue finish with sharp edge wear, dulling and scuffing as one might expect from a pistol that has seen considerable handling and use over many years. Dull bore with easily discernable rifling. Correct manual mechanics. A singular opportunity to buy the first Estonian Police High Power pistol, this example marked with an underscored “20” that identifies the gun as a prototype or sample to be retained, a real gem for the most advanced HP collector!

1229. FN HIGH POWER, GRAND RENDEMENT, OVAL PORT PISTOL, DOCUMENTED. Cal. 9mmP (9mm Luger). S# 128. The Oval Port Grand Rendement has long been considered a “Holy Grail” gun for most HP collectors. Rarely coming up for sale, production was limited to just 1100 pistols of which 1000 were earmarked for Belgian military trials, the balance for sales samples and demonstrations. This particular pistol is of standard configuration with drift adjustable front sight and early style tangent sight, graduated from 50-500, whereby the numbering is limited to the rear portion of the sight bar. Standard three-line address on left side of slide with usual proofs on left side of slide and frame with repetition on exposed barrel hood that is also marked with the caliber.

Fitted with checkered/ bordered walnut grips and correct prewar magazine with aluminum follower, phosphate body, and blued split-tail floorplate.

Pistol with the same external appearance is shown on page 692 of the Vanderlinden book “FN Browning Pistols”, 3rd edition, pg. 692 with exact SN listed on pg. 691. A copy of unnotarized correspondence forwarded by Wm. O. Drollinger (William O. Drollinger is described as a noted American High Power Collector in Blake Stevens’ book, “The Browning High Power Automatic PIstol”) from the late Capt. Bozanno of Asuncion, Paraguay, cited that pistol #128 was one of four pistols sent from FN to the government of Paraguay in the summer of 1936. After successful testing, the Paraguayan Army ordered 500 additional guns in late 1937. CONDITION: very good original rust blue finish with sharp edge wear, spotting, and thinning as one would expect from a long and continued use.

Few companies are as wellknown as that of the legendary 101st Airborne’s “Easy Company”, and even fewer individuals from the 101st are as well-known as that of Richard “Dick” D. Winters. Largely in part due to the book and even more so, due to Spielberg’s miniseries adaptation of the book, “Band of Brothers”, Dick Winters and Easy Company’s experiences during WWII from D-Day to The Battle of the Bulge, and later occupation of Adolf Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest are well known amongst the general American public and historians alike.

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 Chorwon-Kumhwah. 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.

THEODOR BERGMANN SPEZIAL MODELL SEMI-AUTOMATIC

PISTOL. Cal. 7.65mm. S# 3972. Bbl. 3 3/8”. Designed by Adalbert Kadits, the P.B. Spezial, the P.B. (Polizei-und Behordenpistole or “Police and authorities pistol) Spezial pistol was originally mfg. by August Menz. In 1938, a lawsuit from Walther forced Menz to drop “P.B.” from the title, and the company is believed to have gone bankrupt, subsequently selling to Theodore Bergmann Erben G.m.b.H.

While significantly resembling Walther’s PPK, the Spezial Modell does exhibit a few notable mechanical differences which set it apart from its contemporary. This example, mfg. by Bergmann, is marked “THEODORE BERGMANN ERBEN/ WAFFENFABRIK SUHL/ SPEZIAL-MODELL” on the left side of the slide.

1433. EXQUISITE JAPANESE GOLD DECORATED KATANA WITH TACHI MOUNTS. This breath-taking katana would more accurately be termed an itomaki no tachi. It appears to be of the Edo period as indicated by the decorative motifs utilized. We have been unable to remove the tsuka but suspect that the blade may be much earlier. The overall length is 40” and the blade measures 26 1/2”. The blade has a relatively wide irregular hamon with a gold plated habaki. Below the tsuba is a single darkened seppa with a gold plated seppa next to the habaki. Above the tsuba are 3 darkened seppa topped by a single gilded seppa. The tsuba has a darkened ground with gold edges and elaborately embellished corners. There are also several repeating mon around the tsuba. The top and bottom of the tsuba are identical. The fuchi and kashira are similarly decorated with golden edges and repeating mon throughout. The tsuka-ito is a bronze color and wraps over gold encrusted silk cloth. The heavily gilded menuki are made up of 3 mon each showing 8 smaller circles surrounding a central larger circle. The saya is quite breath-taking with a body of bronze colored nashiji and a sayamaki with golden silk cloth beneath, matching the tsuka. The mounts on the saya all have a darkened ground with gold highlighted decorations, primarily consisting of family mon. The same golden mon, consisting of 8 smaller circles around a central circle, repeats throughout the length of the saya. The ashi appears to be buff leather with family mon terminals. The silk suspension cord connected to the ashi is black, purple, white, and green. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: certification paperwork dated May 25, 1984 with a detailed description of the sword. A Japanese document describing the sword and mounts with a photograph of the sword with a red Japanese seal. CONDITION: the blade has a very fine polish and the temper line is very apparent. The entire tsuka shows very light wear. The gold highlights on the darkened metal give an exceptional impression of artistic craftsmanship. The saya shows very light wear overall with some minor losses of gold foil forming some of the mon on the scabbard body. Again, the dark and gold contrast on the mounts is quite visually appealing. The saya-maki, ashi, and sageo all show very light wear with the colors remaining crisp and vibrant. Truly an exceptional sword for the advance collector. (02-23630/BF). $5,000-8,000.

gold inlayed areas, highlighted by piercings. One vignette shows a golden sun amongst pierced clouds. Another shows flowering vines with pierced leaves, and there are kidney-shaped inlays on either side of the nakago opening. The nakago has one mekugiana and an eleven character signature on one side. Please see photograph for signature. The fuchi and kashira match perfectly and have numerous gold inlays featuring floral and foliate motifs. The tsuka has white same and a black tsuka-ito. The gold menuki represents a boar charging out of bushes. The wooden saya has a black enameled finish with a gilded brass kojiri. The exquisite kurikata has numerous gold floral inlays and a gilded brass shitodome. An attractive but worn sageo is attached through the kurikata. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: certification paperwork dated May 25, 1984 with a detailed description of the sword. A Japanese document describing the sword and mounts with a photograph of the sword with a red Japanese seal. The sword comes with a black and gold patterned, silk lined, storage bag. CONDITION: the blade has a superior polish. The tsuba as well as the entire tsuka show very light wear. The saya also shows very light wear with minor scuffs to the finish. The sageo shows moderate wear overall. (0223631/BF). $4,000-6,000.

1435. JAPANESE BOKUTO KATANA. This katana measures 41” overall with a 27 7/8” hardwood blade. An exceptionally finely made example of a bokuto used in training for kenjutsu. These wooden blade katana are first seen during the Muromachi period, and versions of this historic weapon are still used today in martial arts training. This example is exceptionally ornate, featuring an expertly shaped blade with Japanese characters in black ink on both sides. Sadly, the blade is broken just above the integral wooden simulated habaki. The break is such that it could likely be repaired by a qualified craftsman. There is a two-piece patinated brass tsuba with gold floral inlays at the tips of chiseled buds. Matching gold-inlaid fuchi and kabuto-gane, along with perfectly matching menuki. Attractive cerulean tsuka-ito over finely patterned brown and tan silk. The saya is a true work of art, with matching gold inlays on all of the mounts, including the ashi. The top of the saya is wrapped with matching cerulean ito together with a black, brown, green, and tan, long, elaborate ito partially covered in fine black-printed white leather forming an elaborate sageo. The saya body is black and gold enamel featuring foliate motifs and crosses within circles. An exceptionally elaborate and visually stunning bokuto katana of absolutely superior craftsmanship. CONDITION: other than the fact the blade is broken above the habaki, the katana shows only the slightest wear throughout. (02-23632/BF). $1,000-2,000.

Conceived following the 1967 war when Israel was looking for a lighter alternative to the FAL rifle.

The MSAR is an American manufactured, gas operated semi automatic bullpup, very similar in aesthetics to the Steyr AUG. In true Bullpup fashion, the operator has the ability to utilize a long bbl. to take advantage of available ballistics w/ out sacrificing negative aspects of having a full-sized rifle. Due to the placement of the action, which is under the cheek of the shooter, the bbl. extends forward from that point, where it is typically above the trigger creating a much smaller signature. The stock or chassis is green molded plastic. Small section of the bbl. that is actually exposed is a combination of flutes & microgrooves for expedient cooling by increasing the surface area. Muzzle brake is a proprietary design, often referred to as a tulip. Integral 1.5x CQB scope w/ circular & post reticle. Like all MSAR designs, it includes a retractable vertical pistol grip.
