Warren H. Buxton (1935–2016) Cowboy, Electrical Engineer and Walther Researcher Extraordinaire

Warren H. Buxton was an extraordinary man of boundless energy and enthusiasm. Although he was best known for his groundbreaking books on the P38, Warren also wrote Russell M. Catron and His Pistols, and, at the time of his death, had nearly completed an encyclopedic reference on the Walther Olympia. In the planning stage was another project, for he had photocopied virtually all of Walther’s postwar P38 records for yet another book!

Those are serious accomplishments for a fellow who grew up in a remote section of Wyoming, specifically on the Ucross ranch, a place most people would describe as “a hundred miles from nowhere.” Spending his youth as a bona fide cowboy, Warren’s first experience with the real world came through his enlistment with the military. After high school he signed up with the Air Force where he trained as an electronics technician and flew in an RB-47 reconnaissance bomber. Four years later, after his tour of duty, Warren returned to Wyoming ranching. But only briefly. The first hard winter, in which some of the daily highs hit -50F, prompted Warren to do “something else.”

So Warren went back to school, starting with Trinidad State Jr. College and finishing at University of New Mexico where he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering. His first job was with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico where he worked with “Q” clearance, one of the highest levels of security with access to “special intelligence.” Just what he did still remains a mystery, even to his closest friends. As Warren was inclined to say, with a chuckle and a sly smile, “If I told you, I’d have to kill you.”

It was during his tenure at Los Alamos that Warren became interested in P38s. According to David Witkowski, long term OGCA member and close friend, Warren spotted his first “good” P38 at a Columbus show while traveling with Ernie Lang, another OGCA member and a founder of the National Automatic Pistol Collectors Association (NAPCA). Of course, the gun was priced “outrageously” and Warren didn’t get it, but the P38’s mystique coupled with Warren’s unbridled curiosity set up a chain of investigation that Warren pursued for the rest of his life and expressed through his books.

After retiring from Los Alamos, Warren took a brief respite from German guns to write a short work on the Catron pistols that briefly explored Kimballs, the High Standard T3 and the Colt T4.

It made no difference that the Catron’s production was limited or that most gun aficionados had never heard of the company. Warren got interested and he wanted the information “out there.” The Catron book was published in 2004.

At about the same time, Warren’s interest returned to Walther. He was fascinated by the Olympias and learned all he could about their development and production. Some OGCA members may remember his displays: “The Beginning of a Walther Legend” (2005-2009); “The Walther Olympia” (2009, 2012); and “A Few Rare Walther Automatic Pistols” (2015). In his last showing, Warren’s Walther AP #10 with stock was awarded the Thomas L. Kyser Best Single Gun award.

Joking aside, Warren’s book on the Olympias and its competitors will have the same monumental and lasting effect as his P38 anthology. Fortunately for the collector’s community, a number of contributors have volunteered to complete his effort that needs only a fine tuning before being published by Simpson, Ltd. We have all heard the phrase “I could never have accomplished that task had I not been standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Warren was one of those giants. As anyone interested in firearms history and mechanical developments would attest, his name was synonymous with integrity and meticulous research. Yet reputation aside, there was so much more to the man as his intellect, knowledge, and passion for discovery invariably made an indelible impression. It will be a long, long time until anyone comes close to filling his shoes. Warren, rest in peace.

As all writers know, finishing the first publication is the hardest.

You have to build your knowledge base while achieving peer credibility and hope that the book will be critically acclaimed. To state that The P38 Pistol Vol I: Walther Pistols, published in 1978, met that milestone would be an understatement. It was a first class text whose presentation included a level of detailing that was previously unknown. The book sold out quickly, bringing Warren incredible notoriety. Now an accomplished author, doors opened magically, as collectors from around the world rushed to contribute and seek acknowledgment. The P38 Pistol Vol II: Contract Pistols was published in 1984 and The P38 Pistol Vol III: Postwar Distribution in 1990. All three were reprinted in 1999.

Fred S. Donaldson, Jr. (1935–2017) On June 25, 2017 Fred Donaldson passed away with an incurable lung disease, and the collecting community at large lost a friend.

Fred loved attending gun shows and spending time with his collector friends. He was a former member of the Texas Gun Collectors Association and the American Society of Arms Collectors. He was currently a member of the Civil War Roundtable in Gainesville, Florida and a life member of the NRA and a life member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans where he was active until his passing.

Fred began collecting as a teenager in Waldo, FL, a small community near Gainesville, where he grew up. He bought items and later sold them to buy better ones to upgrade his collection. He collected Confederate arms and accoutrements and Florida-used weapons and history.

Fred was especially interested in collecting Confederate items because he had four Confederate ancestors. As he wrote in his own obituary, “He was very proud of his four Confederate ancestors who didn’t own slaves and fought to defend their families and property from Northern aggression. Two of his Confederate ancestors mustered out in Waldo in May of 1865.”

Fred was an avid reader of World War II and Civil War history and collected memorabilia associated with those conflicts. He also collected lots of World War II veteran friends and attended many local veteran meetings.

Fred was a graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in agriculture with a major in entomology. He worked at the plant board for the university for a time and later with several agricultural chemical companies. He retired after 25 years with Bayer Agricultural Chemical Company, working in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Fred was married to Judy for 50-1/2 years, and they had two children and two grandchildren. Fred and Judy moved back to his hometown of Waldo several years after his retirement. Judy attended many gun shows through the years and watched his table while he spent most of the time visiting with fellow gun collectors and friends.

Russell G. Grinnell (1938–2016) Russell was a firearms and Randall knife enthusiast since the mid1950s. He collected the nicest or most unusual that he could afford while rearing our family, two sons, Scott & Russell, and a daughter, Elizabeth, each now have to start their own firearms collection.

We went to gun shows and enjoyed them as a family. I learned a lot about firearms along the way. My grandson Rusty has a nice rifle and two already earmarked for my great-grandchildren, Gavin and Warner!

In the middle 1990s Russell had to sell his first collection to help pay for a liver transplant, which is when we became fans and friends of the James D. Julia Auction Company. After the transplant surgery it was apparent he was going to recover and Russell almost immediately began collecting again. This time, it was L.C. Smith shotguns, and again, we called upon Julia’s to help us disperse them when Russell’s heart began giving him problems a few years ago. In true collector fashion, as we were selling, Russell continued buying always searching for the best, extra nice, and unusual pieces. He loved to research what he could glean about each gun he purchased and put together very good notes on each gun and knife. Amazingly, the last three guns Russell purchased arrived the afternoon before he passed. I brought the guns in the house and laid them on his chair where he always sat and he said he would catalog them in the morning.

Russell had a wonderful and full life and we met so many good people and made so many friends in the gun trade. Russell researched so many guns that I also became friends with the ladies at the Cody Museum. I too valued these friendships because they kept Russell alive and wanting to live. Together, we shared 59 years, but didn’t quite make our 59th wedding anniversary. I certainly miss the conversations Russell and I shared about the firearms and the research he did on their histories. But now, it is time to share these guns with someone else who will appreciate the history and condition just as Russell did. —Joyce Grinnell

Morris L. Racker (1929-2016) Morris was born in 1929 in Waverly, Iowa, to Leonard and Elinore (née Rone) Racker. After graduating from Waverly High School in 1947, Morris attended University of Iowa, where he majored in Art and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Following college graduation in 1951, Morris enlisted in the Army and entered basic training in Breckenridge, Kentucky, followed by additional training in Fort Holabird, Maryland. From there, Morris was assigned to the Central Intelligence Corps (CIC) in Germany, where he served from 1952-1954.

After his service, Morris remained in Dusseldorf, Germany as an investigator in the Refugee Investigations Division, a civilian division within the CIC. It was during this time that Morris met his future wife, Helga, who worked as a translator with the British Consulate in Dusseldorf. After marrying in 1957 in Locarno, Switzerland, Morris and Helga moved back to Iowa in order for Morris to pursue his master’s degree. Morris graduated with distinction with a Master of Fine Arts degree from University of Iowa in 1959. His career began as a graphic package designer with John Morrell & Co. in Ottumwa, Iowa. In 1961 Morris and Helga moved to Chicago where they raised their family and resided there for the rest of their lives.

With his wife Helga’s success as an entrepreneur, Morris and Helga enjoyed international travel, visiting Europe, South America, and Asia and traveling throughout the United States. They were lifelong antique collectors, and picked up many interesting items over the years. In time, Morris developed a keen interest in Civil War militaria, and began his exemplary collection of Civil War firearms, particularly rare and unique Confederate items, an interest he continued to pursue throughout the rest of his life.

Morris welcomed interaction with people from all walks of life, as long as they were good listeners and open to the next joke (usually his). Shortly after celebrating 59 years of marriage in April of 2016, Helga passed away. Morris followed a few months later, passing away in October of 2016.

James Julia Auctions is extremely happy to be offering the Morris Racker Collection of such diversity, rarity and high condition.

Forrest Rhodes I was born in Reno, NV. Following that, my family moved to California at a time when that area was very Western, being just a few miles from where Western Horseman magazine originated. We then moved to the Blackfeet Reservation in MT when I was 7 and 8. There I got my first rifle, a Springfield 22, which I treasured for years. We later moved back to California and then to Paris, France.

I spent extra time studying guns such as the Darne shotgun, but had no time for shooting.

In my 20s I decided to learn to fly. I started in Cessnas and ultimately received private, commercial, instrument and instructor’s certificates. I then began instructing and obtained multi–engine, advanced ground instructor, and instrument instructor certificates.

From there I was hired by Flying Tigers Airlines and, a year later,

by Pan Am airlines. This was in the 60s. During that time, while enjoying layovers in London, I had the opportunity to take fly casting lessons from Hardy’s and spent a considerable amount of time with that wonderful gentleman Mr. Lawrence at Purdy’s in London. Mr. Lawrence would patiently teach me about variations of the English side by sides. He was a wonderful gentleman! When I had been with Pan Am for about 29 years, they sold the Atlantic routes to Delta and I became a Captain for Delta the next 8 years.

After retirement, I took up collecting seriously around the year 2000. There are, of course, many reasons for collecting. Mine is the beauty of engraving and inlay or, as a good friend says, “I’m a Crow—I like bright shiny things.”

In addition to collecting, I try to support the 2nd amendment and conservation, therefore, I am an NRA Benefactor member, life member of Safari Club International and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and member of Ducks Unlimited, Turkeys Unlimited, Gun Owners of America and Concerned Citizens for the Right to Keep & Bear Arms.

I have hunted in Sonora, Mexico for mule deer, Coues deer and dove; in Canada, in the NW Territories with the Dog Rib Indians for caribou and in BC for bear and moose; and over 15 states in the US for numerous game. Perhaps one of my more exciting experiences was harvesting a desert big horn in Arizona.

I am currently happily living in the Wyoming Rockies.

John Robert Roughton, Jr. John Robert Roughton, Jr., (Bob), born June 28, 1938, in Norfolk, VA, took an interest in firearms at age 12, when given his first rifle, a single shot 22. He fondly remembers target practicing using tin cans while visiting his grandparent’s farm.

He graduated from VPI in 1960 and proceeded into the US Army as a 2nd Lieutenant. His interest in firearms was increased during his service years and he started collecting thereafter. His first notable purchase was a Civil War percussion musket. By then married to his wife, Sylvia, he left the army with a rank of Captain.

He spent the next 40 years in the family business of Roughton Pontiac Corp., all the while adding to his collection.

For a while he collected Colts but later added Winchesters, Civil War Carbines, Flintlock Military Muskets, Remingtons, Smith & Wessons and Military Knives. Valuable Flintlock Muskets made

by Springfield, Virginia Manufactory and Harpers Ferry enhanced his collection. Of special interest were two Harpers Ferry pistols, the last pair made.

Arlen Saunders A longtime firearms enthusiast and collector, Arlen has spent over 60 years building his collection. His passion for fine firearms run the gambit from primitive flintlocks to bespoke European shotguns. He was an early member of The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association and spent many years in the early 50s and 60s at shoots around Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and especially Friendship, Indiana. While he bought and sold many flintlock and percussion rifles, he loved to build them and share his knowledge with others. He developed friendships with many of the craftsmen who fashioned primitive weapon components such as Bill Large, the barrel maker.

Arlen was also a devoted American shotgun collector with items including L.C. Smith, Winchester, Remington, Parker Bros, and A.H. Fox. This led him to be a member of the Parker Gun Collectors Association as well as a member of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association. As a trained engineer, he enjoyed design as well as the aesthetics of a well-made firearm. This led him to specialize in German Drilling Rifles late in his collecting years. He joined the German Gun Collectors association and has traveled to many European countries with the group over the years including, Britain, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, German and Austria.

Touring facilities where fine, bespoke guns are built and engraved was a joy for him to view. He also enjoyed shooting on some of the European estates of the countries he was touring. Good food, good friends and beautiful scenery were in abundance on those trips. He has enjoyed collecting and traveling to find new firearms to add to his collection, but now feels that it’s time to find new homes for his items and is pleased that they will be going to enthusiasts that will appreciate them as much as he does.

Tim Zissler Tim Zissler is a retired machinist from Minneapolis. In the 1980s he caught the gun collecting bug and began to assemble a modest but highly conditioned set of Winchester lever action rifles. In the picture to the right, Tim (on the right) is seen at a Winchester Collectors Association show in July of 1995 at Cody, WY along with Ethyl Saign, Charlie Foster and Warren Webster. Tim became fast friends with Ray and Ethyl and spent many Sunday afternoons talking guns and enjoying Ray and Ethyl’s fine cooking.

The form, fit and function of the Winchester levers automatically appealed to Tim’s machinist’s instincts. The collection spans the full range of levers from the 1866 to the 1894. All of Tim’s guns are the best that he could find and afford. They are characterized by having unturned screws and high conditioned original finish.

His particular passion became the Model 1873 and are offered here to the discriminating collector. Tim is truly a caretaker whose concern is that the collection be acquired by individuals who will treasure the pieces just as he did and maintain them in their pristine condition for years to come.

Tim and his wife Connie now live in Wyoming within easy commute to the Buffalo Bill Firearms Museum where they continue to enjoy quality Winchesters and country music.

Commencing immediately following NFA & Class 3 Extraordinary Firearms Please Read Conditions of Sale Before Bidding Lots 2200-2763

Session 2 2200.

**JAPANESE TYPE 89 GRENADE DISCHARGER (DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE) (C&R). SN 92518. Cal. 50mm. 10” bbl. Good specimen of a Japanese type 89 grenade discharger often erroneously referred to as “knee mortar”. This misnomer, derived from the curved baseplate which although intended to help set the mortar into the ground, was shaped such that a man might mistakenly think it could be braced against a leg. In the event of such a misuse the result would be grievous injury to the leg. This specimen retains the coil spring and keeper which would have original held a canvas cover to protect the action from dust or dirt; canvas cover is not present. One inert projectile is included, complete with hard Bakelite fuse plug at nose. Included prov is letter from son of WWII Veteran and copy of original amnesty 4467 with copy of letter sent by the registrant indicating Mortar was acquired in Borneo while registrant was serving in the Seabees. Also included are photocopies of letters sent by registrant to BATF in 1976 verifying serial number. Visible numbered parts appear matching.

This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4, as Curio and Relic eligible, as a Destructive Device (DD). CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is good with the majority of the bbl retaining a lustrous purple hued finish except there are areas of moderate to significant cratering, particularly around the ring of the base cup. Mechanics need attention. Firing mechanism has good tension and a positive “snap” when actuator is pulled, however, adjustment knob does not rotate screw within action. These Japanese mortars saw widespread use in the Pacific theater and were highly effective used as often as direct fire weapons at relatively close quarters as they were in an indirect fire role. A popular souvenir and particularly nice to find when it has not been deactivated by having a hole cut in the bbl. 52540-1 JWK77 (1,500-3,500) C&R

DEACTIVATED MODEL 20A1 SUPER BAZOOKA 3.5 INCH ROCKET LAUNCHER. SN 236963. Cal. 3.5 rocket launcher, manufactured by the Birtman Electric Co, is electrically fired. Having optical sighting device with sighting grid.

1-1/4” military web sling. Lightweight aluminum construction. Takes down to 31-1/2”, with an overall assembled length of 60”. The M20A1 Super Bazooka replaced the earlier 2.75” anti-tank rocket launcher. These were utilized for many years into the Vietnam era, until finally being replaced by the L.A.W.S. rocket launcher. CONDITION: Very fine overall, as it has been deactivated by having a 1/2” steel rod welded in place at the breech and by having a 3-1/2” diameter hole bored into the chamber. The hole has been creatively patched using a synthetic material and the entire launcher itself has been repainted to its proper OD green color. Optics are clear and bright, sling is fine. A really interesting item for any military collection.

Hand guard is oval shape with fluted top edge. Handle is stacked leather, red washers with aluminum & copper spacers.

Pommel is stag, secured with a single brass rivet. Accompanied by its original Scagel made black leather, hand stitched sheath with thumb snap. Back of the sheath is crudely stamped “P.R.M.”.

This knife is similar in shape and size to several others pictured in the book Scagel Handmade, Lucie. William Scagel was the great grand daddy of American custom knife makers in the modern era. He was born February 1875 in Ontario, Canada and in 1900 immigrated to the United States. In 1917 he opened his shop in Muskegon, MI where he worked in metal & cutlery and in the 1936-1937 period began his knife-making career and died in 1963. Mr. Scagel’s knives have been the inspiration for numerous custom knife-makers ever since. He produced knives from the tiniest bird & fish knife to the giant camp knives, along with axes & folding knives. He also produced numerous other articles such as copper-ware skillets, pots & pans. He even made corkscrews. His knives rarely come to market. CONDITION: Good, no original finish remains with the blade a cleaned gray metal patina with some fine surface etching. Handle is sound, showing moderate wear with the leather a little dry. Scabbard is fine, solid & clean. 52456-1 JRL (6,000-8,000)

ORIGINAL BRASS CARTRIDGE CASE FROM WORLD WAR I “BIG BERTHA” CANNON. NSN. Only one dozen massive “42cm Kurze Marinekanone 14 L/12 in Raderlafette” (42cm short naval cannon on wheeled carriage) were manufactured. The gun was nicknamed “Dicke Bertha” (Big Bertha) by German soldiers in WWI. The gun was designed under great secrecy by Krupp. At the time of construction, the Big Berthas were the largest and most powerful, movable artillery pieces by use of any army in the world. The gun could fire projectiles weighing close to one ton, almost six miles. Shells could penetrate close to 50 ft of concrete and soil.

The crew to service one “Big Bertha” was 125 men. Cartridge casing has height of almost 17” bottom diameter of 16.8” a base diameter of 18.3” and weighs over 80 lbs.

Casing is marked on base with various proofs and date of July ( Juli) 1915 and maker “MAGDEBURG”. Cartridge casing was not physically attached to the projectile.

In operation of this massive gun, the projectile was loaded first, then cartridge with propellant charge was taken from a wicker basket designed to hold each cartridge, which included several hundred pounds of propellant charge. This massive casing is a very rare collector’s item today and nearly all specimens were melted down for their scrap value in years past. CONDITION: Original unaltered unpolished, pleasing patina with scattered areas of more dark patina, with just traces of green verdigries.

Interior completely unaltered and vintage. This is a fantastic military conversation piece that can also be used as a one-of-akind antique side table. 51900-1 JWK101 (1,500-3,000)

2367. *SUPERLATIVE TOKYO ARSENAL MANUFACTURED 7MM JAPANESE BABY NAMBU. SN 1385. Cal. 7 mm. 3-1/4” bbl. Deep arsenal rust blue finish with checkered walnut 2-pc grips and nickel aluminum based magazine.

Straw finished trigger, magazine release and extractor. The Baby Nambu with a believed production of less than 6500 has always been the iconic WWII Japanese collectible. Rarely found in prime or top collector’s condition as these guns were of early manufacture in the 1920s and survival was rather small.

These were a private purchase item and were typically purchased only by significant officers. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with most all finish remaining, with the slightest loss of finish on the front of the trigger and the top left spring guide to the left of chamber. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and after detailed disassembly, all numbers were found to be matching including the magazine and all major components. Mechanics are crisp as to be expected, and in addition to this fine pistol are 2 orig WWII cartridges cal. 7 mm Nambu, one with Cupro nickel jacket, the other traditional brass jacket. This is an outstanding example and will be a wonderful addition to any collection. 52544-1 TDW (4,000-6,000) C&R

2368. *ULTRA-RARE JAPANESE ISSUED SUGIURA SHIKI 6.35 POCKET PISTOL. SN 192. Cal. 6.35. 3” bbl, blue finish overall. Checkered brown wood grips. Manufactured in China under Japanese occupation from 19441945. It is estimated that fewer than 500 of these unique Pocket model pistols were ever produced. These guns were made for the China Expeditionary Force with extremely limited distribution. Observed SN range is from 103-475 with fewer than 10 having been observed or identified.

An extreme rarity for Japanese collectors with little information having been printed or confirmed. SN 192 is a relatively new discovery and one of the finer examples to have been observed. 8 rnd magazine capacity, straight blowback operation with concealed hammer. CONDITION: Very good overall with most blue finish remaining, having approximately 25% thinning with numerous small abrasions on slide and grip straps. Bore is frosted with strong rifling and mechanics are functional, all visible numbers are matching. This being said, this is an exceptional example of the Sugiura Shiki 6.35 pistol. 52707-1 TDW (2,500-3,500) C&R

2372. *NEAR MINT CONDITION GERMAN 98K “ar 42” MAUSER FIELD TRIAL SNIPER RIFLE. SN 2327. Cal. 8mm. This fantastic specimen has all matching numbered parts and has correct eagle over 26 proof marks with eagle over Swastika firing proofs. Laminated flat buttplate stock retains it’s SN and eagle over 26 cartouche, however, no issue cartouche present which leads this cataloger to the conclusion that it was never issued.

This rifle would have had a low power 1.5x “Aim-point” type scope. The intended purpose was to equip 10% of infantry with a low powered scope which would have high light gathering ability useful at dawn and dusk. This rifle was made at the Mauser plant in Berlin-Borsigwalde (the old DWM plant) with the bolt stop re-designed as a scope base. CONDITION: Absolutely fantastic lustrous, orig finish with some thinning at the muzzle and along the high points with some brassing to the top ears of the scope mount and some areas of light pitting and brown patina on the buttplate which seams to be inescapable on these rifles. Bore is excellent, shiny and bright. Stock is absolutely gorgeous with only the occasional ding, never sanded or messed with. Most of these rifles were apparently lost in the East as were the scopes and are largely overlooked by most German Rifle collectors. 52026-1 (3,500-5,500) C&R

2373. *MAUSER 98K SNIPER WITH QUICK DETACHED MOUNT. SN 8764. Cal. 8mm. 24” bbl. Late war 98K Rifle in sniper configuration with dialytan 4X Scope marked “bek”. Rifle manufactured 1945 by “BCD” ( J.P. Sauer). Scope mount has eagle over “359” proof marks on both base bottoms, which is attached to receiver and on slide on upper rail. Upper rail mount also has serial number which matches barrel serial number. Bolt serial number also matches, as does extended thumb safety with last two digits of serial number on it. Forend cap and barrel band are of the stamped and welded type as seen on late war 98Ks. Mag floor plate and receiver are well marked “gnw”. Wood of stock and hand guard is of the laminated type, smooth but without any oil finish.

The cupped buttplate has a crosshatched pattern on rear. CONDITION: Very fine, mechanics are functional. Bore is bright with sharp rifling. All visible numbers appear matching with exception of scope itself, which are independently numbered.

Overall finish and appearance is excellent. Barrel and receiver have smooth gray finish overall with some evidence of patina forward of the barrel serial number, and on the barrel forward of the end cap. The scope mount and rail is of a deep blue as are the actual scope rings, which appear like metal bands wrapped around the scope to hold it in the saddle of the lower scope ring. Likewise the extended safety switch and bolt removal lever are also of a deep dark blue. 52528-40 TDW (2,500-3,500) C&R

2391. *PROTOTYPE AND PATENT MODEL PISTOLS LOT OF TWO. 1) PROTOTYPE OLYMPIA PATTERN. NSN. Cal. .22. Prototype or toolroom developmental mock-up believed to be of the Erma or Walther Olympia pistols. 4-1/2” bbl, exposed hammer sgl action operation with 10 rnd mag capacity. Firearm is in the white and very crudely resembles the exposed hammer variation of the 1936 Olympia. CONDITION: Typical toolroom example having never been finished with many machine marks and was probably strictly a composite example for preproduction development. Obviously, not a functioning firearm thereby sold “as is”. 2) Walther Prototype. SN nsn. Walther wooden toolroom or patent model mock-up believed to be for the development of the P-99 type pistols being internally striker fired and obviously dbl action design. Wooden patent models are of the rarest of all collectibles in the developmental studies of firearms. Made of hardened maple, measuring 8” overall l and 5-1/4”h. Obvious design for a dbl stack mag in the 12-15 rnd range depending on diameter. Several small non-ferrous metal components exist inside such as a bbl trunnion and trigger guard pin. PROVENANCE: Session two of the extraordinary Warren Buxton Collection. CONDITION: Very fine with wood having been very heavily dried in a possible kiln. Very fragile due to its construction and is missing one grip screw in base. 52342-152, 52342-174 TDW (1,000-1,500)

Crown/BU markings on right side of chamber and slide are clear.

Checkered wood grips. Mag marked “0” on right side. Missing the rear sight. This gun was sold several years ago by another auction company, and at that time was attributed to having been “taken from the Walther factory by Major Constance”. We do not have any supporting documentation to back up that claim. PROVENANCE: Ex Putnam Green Collection. Session two of the extraordinary Warren Buxton Collection. CONDITION: Good condition with a fair amount of blued finish, some light pitting in a few areas as noted. Bbl markings are partially illegible, finish may have been touched up. There appears to be a section of the outer bbl sleeve broken away at the chamber end on the right side. Grip is cracked in the usual spot on the upper rear left side. Checkering is very good. Set screw from right side of front sight is missing, as is rear sight. Bore is fine, bright with sharp rifling. Mechanics need attention, as lever on left side of frame does not stay as a hold open catch with front slide groove. 52342-44 GER (1,250-1,500) C&R 87

by Joseph H. Greener; family lore relates that his younger brother William Wellington, the now famous gunmaker, “marched his brother Joseph off to Liverpool docks and gave him money to emigrate to Australia, because there was only enough room for one Greener to make guns in the United Kingdom.” Guns made by Joseph H. Greener are exceptionally rare; only one, a muzzle loader, is illustrated or described in THE GREENER STORY by Graham Greener. This very well made large bore breech loading example has 32” laminated steel bbls engraved “Joseph H. Greener Maker St. Mary’s Birmingham” on swamped game rib.

Large Jones under lever action with nicely filed fences is fitted with back action non-rebounding locks having tall serpentine hammers. Action and locks are engraved with 60% coverage very well cut scroll, and with “J. H. Greener” on each lockplate.

Near fully checkered splinter forend with inset horn tip has typical sliding side bolt release. Bore diameter at muzzles: left -.857, right - .857. Wall thickness: left - .052, right - .044.

Upper tang is marked MODEL 1873 with finials. SN is stamped on lower tang behind lever latch. Cal. mark has been polished off elevator. This type of carbine was used by the Rurales during the Porfirio Diaz regime especially in northern Mexico when they were fighting with Yaqui Indians. These carbines had half mags and stud front sights and were shipped with bayonets. These would intimidate the Indians who were not familiar with firearms but were familiar with spears.

Rear sight is good. Bore is dark with traces of rifling. Bbl band is plum brown patina.

Order #15039. Carbines of this type saw extensive use south of the border and are extremely rare especially in this bbl length. 14” Model 1873 saddle ring carbines are so rare that Jim Gordon was not able to find one to picture in his book, Winchester Model 1873 A Tribute. CONDITION: Very good for this model. Carbine has a mottled gray brown patina overall with some heavy pitting, especially on the bbl. The bbl was draw filed long ago to clean rust and all bbl markings have been obliterated. The deep patina shows on top of the file marks. Bbl dimensions are correct for this bbl length.

Forearm is 7-5/8” long which is also correct. Forearm matches the bbl taper. The stepped receiver is also correct for this type of carbine. Carbine sights are good. Ladder sight is marked 1873.

Note: This carbine was offered in the Julia sale in April of 2017 where an addendum was added stating the bbl chamber was plug welded in place. Upon further examination this was found to be an old brass case that was stuck to the side walls of the chamber. This has been removed and the carbine has been test fired showing that the chamber is intact. Two spent cases will be provided to the buyer as evidence of this fact. 52615-1 TEP (13,000-15,000)

Receiver has single set trigger. Left side of lower tang, under the wood has the assembly number “2694” and “XX”. Matching assembly number is also found in top tang channel of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. According to Blue Book of Antique American Firearms & Values, Fjelstad & Allen there were 63,871 Model 1876 rifles & carbines produced in the period 1876-1897 in 4 different calibers and a variety of bbl lengths, both standard grade and deluxe plus muskets. Deluxe features on this model were special order only and are rarely encountered today. The Model 1876 was the first big bore repeating rifle offered on the American market. It was a favorite on the western frontier where the larger & heavier caliber bullets were capable of taking the very largest North American big game including Grizzly Bears, Moose, Elk & Buffalo. This model was a favorite of President Theodore Roosevelt which he carried on many hunting expeditions around the world. Deluxe versions of this rifle are quite rare with few encountered today. The extra cost of ordering such a rifle was generally prohibitive to the working man of that era and so few were ordered. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching. Overall the rifle retains 98-99% strong, early Turnbull style restored finish with bright blue on the bbl & magazine tube and bright case colors on the receiver, side plates, lever, hammer & buttplate.

Forend cap colors have faded.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, he was offered a commission in the Confederate Army, which he declined. In March of 1861, President Abraham Lincoln appointed him to Brigadier General.

He fought under General William T. Sherman, rising to command of the Union IV Corps. At the battle of Franklin, Tenn. he earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for leading a counterattack while being wounded in the neck. He continued to serve throughout the war. Following the cessation of hostilities, he remained in service as Colonel of the 22nd U.S. Infantry.

He commanded the Yellowstone Expedition of 1873. Before being reassigned to Texas in 1879 to suppress Indian raids he was one of Gen. George Custer’s superiors, having reprimanded him several times. It was during his time in Texas when he ordered this gun directly from Colt. Undoubtedly the gun accompanied him to New Mexico where he was placed in command of the district. In 1884 he returned to Texas where he stayed until his retirement in 1892. This gun was purchased directly out of the family by the consignor and is accompanied by a factory letter, printed research, and a hard cover copy of the General’s autobiography.

Belt is made of 2 pieces of fine russet brown leather, 2-5/8” wide with tooled patterns and 41 sewnon cartridge loops, Buckle billet is originally sewn on with a single rivet with a brass D-ring buckle. The belt is mounted with a fine, fully tooled double loop, left hand holster marked on the inside of the skirt “T.W. MCDONALD / LEAD, SO. DAK.”. This rare rig being left-handed with a left hand pearl grip leads one to believe that it is an orig set.

CONDITION: Fine. Overall retains about 98-99% restored nickel finish with only slight muzzle edge wear on the left side and tip of the ejector housing. There is a small area of pitting under the finish on the cylinder. Grip has a small chip at the frame on the left side and a couple other tiny chips, otherwise is sound showing great fire & color.

3090. COLT ALTERED ARTILLERY MODEL SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER, PRIME CUSTER RANGE “LOT 5” SERIAL NUMBERED FRAME. SN 4563. Cal. 45. This pistol is accompanied by a John Kopec letter of authentication written in 2002 which in part states “Lot Five was one of the principle lots from which the 7th Cavalry received their initial issues on July 2, 1874, prior to their departure into the Black Hills. There is therefore a good possibility that the subject revolver while still in its cavalry configuration was also one of those which were issued to Custer’s Seventh Cavalry regiment. Our records indicate that three revolvers from within the 4500 serial number range have Custer Battlefield documentation.

The revolver “4507” is listed in General Terry’s diary as being his personal revolver. A backstrap #4553 (only ten numbers lower than the subject revolver) was located near Indian Village circa 1992. A third example #4597 belonged to Lt. Luther Hare, 7th Cavalry 1874”. Other SNs on this gun are “1123” on bbl, “4609” on cylinder and trigger guard “31838”. The backstrap number has been obliterated by file marks. The bbl on this revolver was not altered at the same time as artillery configuration and is a shortened 7-1/2” cavalry bbl with front sight in incorrect position and wrong configuration. Regardless, Custer-era guns with good Lot Five SNs are extremely desirable in any configuration. CONDITION: Fair to good, grey patina overall. Grips show wear with tacking marks and old paper shims. Mechanically functional, well discerned rifling in bore. 52457-2 JS (4,000-6,000)

Also according to reference publication, only about 750 of this model revolver delivered to the Army passed inspection.

Surviving specimens of this model are rare, especially those in orig configuration with any orig finish.

PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection; the collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Fine, all matching except cylinder as noted. Bbl retains about 80% glossy orig blue showing light wear and flaking. Frame retains traces of blue in sheltered areas having mostly flaked to a light patina.

RARE FRENCH “COLLETTE SYSTEM” GRAVITY FED REPEATING PISTOL. SN 2152. Cal. 40. This is a rarely offered pistol with a very small production. Victor Collette marketed a gun patented in 1853. He, along with the inventor Herman Jean Nicolas, co-exhibited this gun at the 1855 Paris Universal exhibition to present this new invention. This is one of the first working self-loading firearms that actually functioned. It is interesting how the top rib contains a series of cartridges that when gun was cocked, breech would rise, accept cartridge when gun was tilted up, hence, gravity-fed. Gun exhibits 9” multi-grooved bbl, engraved frame and trigger guard, carved and fluted grip with shaped iron buttcap. Note the VC in front of SN stands for Victor Collette, the well-known Liege gun maker. This is a nice example appears to be complete and fully functional though SN has nothing to do with the actual production as there are only a handful of these guns known. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Gun appears complete and orig, functional with crisp rifled bore. Checkered wooden grip is sound, well fit, retaining much of its orig varnish.

Of all the Federal era Halbach pistols known, only 3 are noted with the Revolutionary War era “dog head” or “dog face” noted on buttcap. This stylized dog head is well known on Revolutionary War era swords, both officer’s and enlisted as the pommel cap. Sam Smith in his text Historical Pistols the American Marital Flintlock 1760-1845 notes only 3 “dog face” butts are known. He illustrates a nearly identical example on pgs 114 & 115. This example, like other two examples, noted, are brass mounted with American walnut stocks, bridled iron pan, convex lock engraved “HALBACH & SONS”, and rounded goose-neck hammer. Most Halbach’s known have flat locks, flat hammers and eagle head butts, so these early dog face butts with earlier characteristics are thought to be his earlier products. This particular example is in exemplary condition.

CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Silver thumbplate has script initials of owner “LR”. Gun appears orig and complete and well fit. Mechanically sound, hand worn patina. 52305-2 JS (10,000-12,000)

AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA PISTOL. NSN. Cal. 60. 8” rnd bbl. This Colonial era pistol is stocked in our favorite wood curly maple, sometime during the Revolutionary War Era, most probably. The rnd baluster-ringed breech shows the initials “I F” & “46”, plus British proofs and the flat-faced flintlock is marked “JORDAN 1743” with a “CROWN/GR” and “BROAD ARROW”. Both of these features indicate re-cycled parts and most likely the trigger guard and rear ferrule are also of British make. However, the sideplate and buttcap are as “American” as “apple pie”. The elongated brass sideplate has the downward drop to its tail, associating it with some other New England sideplates. As well, the brass buttcap with this small finial is also an American fabricated piece. The surface may or may not be an older period finish. PROVENANCE: Ex-Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: There is a central wrist break which has been secured with pins and glue and there is a 4” long missing sliver on the upper left forestock.

There is also a tiny sliver missing on the upper right forend. The lock is orig flint. Also, there is a period ramrod with a very neatly done pewter endcap. 52305-4 (6,000-8,000) 325

WATERS SINGLE SHOT “FLAT LOCK” PERCUSSION PISTOL. NSN. Cal. 54.

This is a nice example of one of the real enigmas of sgl-shot American martial pistols. These guns have features of Model 1836s and of Model 1842s.

There are numerous odd variations and this gun is no different in that it is totally iron mounted with only one sub-inspector mark found externally on trigger guard. No other discernible markings other than “A.H. WATERS & CO / MILBURY MASS” stamped on lock below eagle head. Since every one of these Flat Lock pistols is slightly different, for the collector who wants everything you have to buy this one because I am sure there is not another one in identical configuration.

RARE AND FINE HAND-SEWN 35STAR CIVIL WAR FLAG WITH UNIQUE CANTON. This flag is in beautiful condition, measuring 51” on hoist and 86” on fly. Flag is totally hand-sewn of red, white and blue singleply wool bunting with 35 double applique 3” cotton stars in an unique canton configuration not seen before. 1-1/4” canvas hoist has 3 handwhipped eyelets and Philadelphia maker’s mark “M BRIGGS / 314 SOUTH 4TH ST / PHILA”. The 35th star commemorated the entry of West Virginia as the 35th state July 4, 1863 and was only official for one year. This is the rarest of star configurations during the Civil War. PROVENANCE: Ex-George Kegerreis Collection, Harrisburg, PA, 2009.

CONDITION: Very good overall, good colors, light staining, fraying and scattered small reductions unaffecting aesthetics.

Old repairs contemporary to time of use. This flag saw some use but was well cared for. 52569-1 JS (6,000-8,000)

3438.

CIVIL WAR 35 STAR REGIMENTAL BATTLE FLAG, MARKED “10TH N.H. INFANTRY”. Hand-sewn light wool blend 69” on hoist, 90” on fly, 4-1/2” cotton stars. Well known flag historian, Steven Hill, wrote letter of authenticity which accompanies this flag and stated “While there is no concrete evidence to link this flag to the 10th NH besides the inked ID on one of the white stripes at the heading of the flag, there is no reason to doubt its authenticity as a flag of the period, nor that it was designed and made to be used as a battle-flag. In size and shape it is very close to Army regulations and has a number of pole ties along the leading edge - it was clearly made to be attached to a staff and carried on parade or in battle, not flown from a halyard on a flagpole...I have no doubt that this flag is exactly what it purports to be, an authentic relic of the American Civil War, a bunting flag used as a regimental or company color, most likely by the 10th NH Infantry”. 35th star commemorates West Virginia officially on July 4, 1863, but other handmade flags are known in early 1863 as West Virginia was attempting statehood much earlier and was highly anticipated before Lincoln’s proclamation June 20, 1863. This flag has indeed seen some use and has some contemporary repairs seen from the period for used flags for continued use. Aesthetically, flag is pleasing and presents well. CONDITION: Good overall. Blue dye has faded, red is still strong, several large stains and numerous small holes and reductions that give the flag great character. 52595-1 JS (6,000-8,000)

The largest order of Colt 1860 Army’s received pre-war and shipped to the Confederacy were 1,000 guns shipped to Ben McCulloch via agents Kittredge & Folsom, New Orleans. These guns were shipped between March 28 - April 9, 1861. This particular gun was in that last shipment 3 days prior to the firing on Ft. Sumter. These guns are relatively scarce and usually found worn out and usually in altered condition. These guns are well documented by John Parsons in a March 1955 issue of the Texas Gun Collector and the 1959 publication of Jim Mitchell’s book on Colt which publishes McCulloch’s letters to Colt. Samuel Colt who was a close friend of former Texas Ranger Ben McCullouch. Mr. Donaldson did not note in his papers where he uncovered this gun, but a Colt Factory Letter indeed lists it shipped to New Orleans April 9, 1861 to Kittredge. The cylinder is mis-matched from SN 2537, but no doubt a factory letter would most likely identify it as a Ben McCulloch gun also. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Good to very good overall.

COLT 1860 ARMY WITH FAMILY PROVENANCE STATING IT WAS CAPTURED AND CARRIED BY JOHN BALLARD, MOSBY’S BATTALION DURING CIVIL WAR. SN 79971. Cal. 44. Family provenance sometimes carries more weight than other times and this gun with over 40 pgs of documents and history pretty well convinces the cataloger that this nickel plated Army was owned by John Newton Ballard, Company A, Mosby’s Rangers. Paper included makes absolutely no mention of specific gun other than in a few more recent affidavits, but researching SN 79971, it falls in the middle of a dozen guns issued to the 1st Maryland U.S. Cavalry (SNs 79555-80045) which Mosby had a special affinity to capturing, killing and/or harassing. These guns were made in late 1862. An excerpt found from a Maryland Historical Society article on Company C, 1st MD Cav “...on December 29, 1863. For the next several days’ 250 members of Cole’s [1st MD] Cavalry engaged about four hundred of Colonel Mosby’s men. When the fighting ended, Cole’s men returned to camp with the loss of three killed, six wounded, and seven taken prisoner. When the raid was over the battalion returned to its winter quarters on Loudon Heights, over looking Harper’s Ferry. On numerous occasions Cole’s Cavalry had crossed swords with Colonel Mosby’s Rangers. Lt. Colonel Mosby, learning that Cole’s exhausted men had returned to their camp, resolved to drive them from Virginia...” There is very possible cause that this gun was captured and used by a 3-time wounded Confederate who lost his leg during the war. PROVENANCE: Francis Lambert Byrne & Varina K. Ballard (daughter), 1922; ( John Lambert Byrne (1914-1999) (grandson of John Newton Ballard); Billy Estes Guy, Jr (Trustee, Byrne Estate), 1999; Amie Boone Cox, 2016. Interested parties should read affidavits, wills and 1930’s written war record. CONDITION: Good to very good as nickel plated after the war which was so commonly done by veterans bringing home weapons. Markings are weak, but orig grips show discernible cartouches with hand worn patina. Gun is mechanically functional with discernible rifling. 52455-1 JS (2,000-3,000)

Bbl is numbered “144208” and frame, trigger guard, cylinder, arbor, backstrap and grips are numbered “145650” with “IP” below SNs, possibly denoting ivory and presentation.

Honest “as found” Colt Martial Army manufactured at height of Civil War in early 1863 in military flap holster, most likely Confederate, which utilized iron furniture tack as finial.

BRASS FRAME PERCUSSION PISTOL ATTRIBUTED TO J&F GARRETT, GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. SN 76. Cal. 52. We are calling this pistol a Garrett because most early literature describes it as such, but we do not know definitively who made these guns. They are very well made. Most Confederate handgun collectors try to find one of these scarce pistols. This pistol has long been associated as Confederate assemblage, but at the same time there have been questions as to its origins and use. Albaugh, Benet and Simmons in their book, Confederate Handguns, devoted an entire chapter to these pistols, suggesting they were made up by J&F Garrett & Co. of Greensboro, North Carolina, the name by which they have since been known. Garrett was the manufacturer of the Tarpley’s patent breechloading carbine. The association was primarily the result of an effort to identify the pistols referred to in DeBow’s Review, a Southern bimonthly publication, as being among the items being manufactured in 1862 by the Garretts. In all the years that have passed, no one seems to have identified the source of these pistols and in particular how an apparently substantial supply of Model 1842 pistol barrels, ramrods, hammers, and trigger guards came to be in need of assembly with a brass frame and new grips”. Recent research has shown that there were quantities of surplus 1842 pistol parts. The failure rate at Aston & Johnson was quite high. We now know Palmetto Armory contract 1842 pistols are made from Aston-Johnson condemned 1842 parts, so there is no doubt a quantity of these parts was available. Regardless of who made these pistols, they are scarce, and this is a very presentable example with good collector provenance. PROVENANCE: Leon Jackson, Dallas, Texas; Dr. Robert L.

PAIR OF FAKE CONFEDERATE REVOLVERS. SN 58,582. Cal. 36. There are many fake Confederate revolvers offered as original and there have been many sold in auction as original. 1) There are only 3 complete Columbus Firearms pistols known and SN 58 is one of the numerous fakes that have been made over the years. Cataloger is not sure what this gun started out as, but possibly made from scratch with similar small SNs seen by this extremely rare manufacturer. Full fraudulent manufacturer’s address on bbl and cylinder. 2) Griswold 1st Model revolver SN 582, most likely made and artificially aged from a Navy Arms brass framed reproduction with added markings. PROVENANCE: Outstanding estate collection of Confederate and historical arms of Morris Racker. CONDITION: 1) Artificially aged and pitted. Fair overall. Mechanically not functional, but appears complete. 2) Also fair. Missing several screws and wedge. 51958-37 JS (2,000-3,000)

3472. RARE POSSIBLY CONFEDERATE FLORIDA USED 1st MODEL MAYNARD CARBINE. SN 2550. Cal. 35. Mr. Donaldson related that he found this gun near his home in Northern Florida many years ago.

Most of these guns were in Southern arsenals at the beginning of the Civil War and most were converted to percussion. There are numerous different conversions and though unknown, this particular example has an old “CS” surcharge on right side of frame. Regardless of who performed conversion, this gun saw limited use and is in extremely fine condition, still retaining raised grain to the stock with a crisp fine multi-groove bore. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Fine overall. Metal is overall a mottled grey patina with scattered staining and areas of pinprick pitting, markings are crisp.

RARE CONFEDERATE RICHMOND 1862 DATED RIFLE WITH PATCHBOX. NSN. Cal. 58. 33” Richmond rifles are quite rare, especially early 1862 dated high hump versions and even rarer with patchboxes. This gun appears to have been made from a musket, cut down to rifle length with added restored pinched style front sight which would have been proper for a rifle. Gun is totally iron mounted utilizing old Harpers Ferry parts which were available 1861-1862. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Good overall. Bbl appears cut from musket length to 33” with an added front sight. Nosecap and rear sight are added, but otherwise parts appear orig and correct.

Gun has a nice dark patina with discernible “C.S. / RICHMOND, VA” forward of hammer and “1863” rear. Lock has a laminated defect rarely seen even on Confederate arms, but the Confederates didn’t care about cosmetic defects as this gun was functional and no doubt saw hard service. Two sets of initials are carved on either side of stock. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Fair to good overall, good look; matching dark iron patina. Buttplate has dark mustard patina.

Nosecap is possibly restored with lighter brass patina. Ramrod is replaced. Stock is fairly well fit with several large crack repairs utilizing putty and wood inset forward of lock.

The 1860 Autauga County, Alabama, census lists him as a ‘blacksmith’ in the town of Prattville. Like many other skilled craftsman, Pruett put his expertise to work for the war effort. The Bowie knives that he made for the local Autuaga Guards were described in this note, which ran in the Richmond Dispatch of September 18, 1861: ‘A formidable weapon: We were shown yesterday a knife, manufactured by Mr. Pruett, of Prattville which is the most formidable looking weapon in the shape of a knife we have seen yet. The Arkansas toothpick weighed two and one half pounds. It seemed to be of good steel, and appeared powerful enough to divide a Yankee completely...” We know Pruett delivered 39 knives by September of 1861 and this was probably his total production. Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Clark County Historical Society, Springfield, OH; Robert Abels Collection, 1962; pictured Fig. 27 “Bowie Knives”, Abels, 1962; Shannon Pritchard, Richard, VA; Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard, 2003. CONDITION: Very good overall and “as found”. 17-1/4” blade has dark iron patina, rounded point, nicks on edges. Crisp markings. Oak grip has hand worn patina. Ferrules are slightly askew from compression of grip, so often seen on this maker. Regardless, this is among the best of the examples extant with good collector history. 52703-9 JS (7,000-9,000) Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

VERY FINE, MASSIVE CONFEDERATE “ALABAMA” D-GUARD BOWIE KNIFE. This particular pattern Bowie is thought to have been made in Alabama as the handful of examples seem to originate there. This is no doubt the finest example known with orig scabbard in beautiful “as found” condition. This pattern is described on pg 48 of Confederate Bowie Knifes, Melton, Phillips & Sexton, 2012. Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Jim Blackburn Collection, Birmingham, AL; Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard. CONDITION: Fine overall. 14-1/4” clip-point blade is an uncleaned, dark mottled grey/brown patina. Grip has hand worn patina and remnants of old varnish. Scabbard is sound and solid with craquelure and slight bending at tip. All-in-all, this is a superior example of a Confederate D-Guard Bowie. 52703-5 JS (4,000-5,000)

3502.

VERY RARE “CONFEDERATE STATES ARMORY” CLIP POINT D-GUARD BOWIE. 20” overall, 15” clip point blade. Louis Froelich at his Confederate States Armory in Kenansville, NC made many edged weapons. This is the rarest of his products being a clip point D-Guard Bowie. Few examples of these knives are known and this is a fine honest “as found” example. When photographing knives for Confederate Bowie Knives, 2012, I was only able to identify 6 or 7 examples at the time, where hundreds of the standard “cutlass style” knives are known. CONDITION: Very good overall.

Blade is overall grey with small nicks in blade, staining and pitting. Iron D-Guard has matching patina. 1-pc wood grip is missing one entire side inside bow which exposes the entire construction of tang. This wood has been missing for a very long time, as exposed wood has good patina. Remainder of grip has hand worn patina with many small dents and dings. 52041-2 JS (3,500-5,000)

This famous knife was made in Hope Hull, Alabama in the early Civil War. Three other examples are known, this being the finest and from direct family descent from George Washington Shackleford (1827-67). This knife is pictured and described on pgs 432-433 of The Antique Bowie Knife Book, Adams, Voyles, Moss, 1990.

This massive knife is 20-1/2” long with a 15-3/4” spear-point blade with the orig scabbard, with Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Lewis Crenshaw, blacksmith, Hope Hull, AL, 1861; George Washington Shackleford, Company F, 2nd Alabama Cav, 1861-1865; James F. Shackleford, Trussville, AL; Tuscaloosa Historical Museum; Jim Blackburn Collection; Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard, 1989. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall with scattered staining and pitting. Oak slab grips retain a hand worn patina. Orig scabbard is sound but dry with flaking and craquelure and reduction near tip. 52703-6 JS (6,000-8,000)

Session 3

3503. IDENTIFIED TEXAS BOWIE KNIFE OF JAMES M. MCKINNEY, 17th TEXAS INFANTRY AND 8TH TEXAS CAVALRY. Fine 16-1/4” iron mounted, polished stag grip, dbl-edged Bowie made from file with “J. M. McKINNEY” etched on well made dbl-edged blade made from file. This is described in a Texas Gun Collector newsletter which accompanies knife, along with Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card.

CONDITION: Fine “as found”. 11” blade has mottled grey patina with staining and light pitting, well discerned etched markings. Grip has hand worn patina. Brass grip cap has mixed mustard patina.

3504.

FINE AND RARE THOMAS, GRISWOLD & CO, NEW ORLEANS CONFEDERATE NAVAL CUTLASS. This is the scarcest of the normally encountered Confederate naval cutlasses. This example has fine full marking “THOMAS, GRISWOLD & CO / NEW ORLEANS” stamped on ricasso. This maker’s mark is quite often very light and only partially discernible. This is about as nice as mark as you will see, event though a couple of letters are weak on edges. 26” overall, 21” wasp-waist blade. Brass guard and fish scale handle.

CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is clean and grey with remnants of old plating near tip, light pitting. Brass guard and grip have a medium mustard patina with several small bends and dents. 52041-5 JS (3,000-4,000)

3505.

FINE LARGE CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE WITH TIN SCABBARD. This is a classic Confederate bowie, about 20” long overall with 14-1/2” thick double edged blade in the style of arsenal made knives from Georgia and those from TL Pruitt of Prattville, Alabama. So we can surmise this is a Georgia or Alabama knife accompanied by a well made tin scabbard. CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is overall a mottled gray with staining and pitting with old sharpening and nicks in cutting edge.

Wood grip has old putty filled crack repairs with an old varnished surface. Iron ferules are slightly loose. Scabbard is sound and solid with original tin belt loop, separating at soldered seam with about a 5” opening on opposite side. All in all, this is a very nice Confederate knife with impressive heft and rarely found complete tin scabbard, with numerous small dents, dings and scratches. 52041-1 JS (3,000-4,000)

3506. CONFEDERATE NAVAL CUTLASS WITH CSN AND FLUTED ANCHOR CAST IN HILT. 26” overall, 21” doubled edged blade. Cast brass hilt with fish scale handle and brass basket. “CSN” cast on one side of pommel and fluted anchor cast on other side. This is a popular pattern of Confederate sword that is highly reproduced, but this is a good orig example with dark patina. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Good to very good. Blade is dark with pitting. Tip of blade is broken.

Hilt has mixed light mustard to olive patina. 52438-7 JS (2,000-2,500) Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

3508.

WELL CRAFTED LARGE CONFEDERATE D-GUARD BOWIE PICTURED IN “CONFEDERATE BOWIE KNIVES”. This exact knife is pictured on pg 218 of Confederate Bowie Knives, Melton, Phillips & Sexton, 2012. 18” overall. Though made by a gifted cutler, with 7” false edge and 1” cut-out choil, the steel was likely flawed and did not withstand the abuse to the the cutting edge which is noted in the lamination and chipping. Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard.

CONDITION: Very good overall. 13-3/8” blade as noted has chipping in cutting edge with an overall dark iron patina. This knife as tiny traces of dry-pencil etching on right side which was probably maker’s mark, though no longer discernible. Grip has hand worn patina and old tacking marks. 52703-8 JS (2,000-3,000)

3509. MASSIVE CONFEDERATE CLIP-POINT D-GUARD BOWIE. Several examples of this unidentified manufacturer are known. This particular example is pictured on pg 220 of Confederate Bowie Knives, Melton, Phillips & Sexton, 2012. 22” overall. Accompanied

by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: A. E. Neville, Mobile, AL; Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard, 2000. CONDITION: Good to very good overall. Iron has dark iron patina with pitting. Grip is weathered, old sharpening.

52703-4 JS (2,000-3,000)

Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Jerry Fertitta, Baton Rouge, LA; Lifetime collection of Roger Ballard, 1985. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall.

3512.

SCARCE CONFEDERATE SHORT ARTILLERY SABER WITH “C” & “S” IN OPPOSITE QUILLONS. This is an orig example of a highly reproduced Civil War artillery short sword thought by some collectors to have been made Leech & Rigdon in Columbus, Mississippi and by others

by Burger of Richmond, Virginia. Regardless who made these, excavated specimens are most common to Western theater and this example appears to be possibly an early battlefield pick-up. Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card.

PROVENANCE: Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard. CONDITION: 18” blade is heavily pitted with old sharpening marks and dark iron patina. Hilt has dark mustard/chocolate patina. 52703-10 JS (2,000-3,000)

Session 3

3513.

FINE MASSIVE CONFEDERATE BOWIE KNIFE MADE FROM RASP, EXCHICAGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY. This is a classic Confederate Bowie over 20” long with 15-3/4” blade showing distinct marks as being made from an old rasp. Long, thin sharpened clip. Wood grip mounted with 2 pewter ferrules seen on other examples by same school of makers in Confederate Bowie Knives, Melton, Phillips & Sexton, 2012. Accompanied by Mr. Ballard’s hand drawn display card. PROVENANCE: Chicago Historical Society; Jim Dresler Collection; Lifelong collection of Roger Ballard, 1999. CONDITION: Very good overall.

3514. CONFEDERATE SHORT ARTILLERY SWORD WITH CS AND STAR. This is a classic example of Confederate copy of a Model 1832 artillery sword that is highly reproduced, but this is an orig and authentic example, measuring 23-1/2” overall with an 18” wasp waist blade with central fuller. These swords were hollow cast, often with lead solder in casting flaws like this example shows. This sword has the look of being an early battlefield pick up. If it could only talk and tell us its story! CONDITION: Fair. Blade is brown and heavily pitted with iron patina. Brass is cleaned with several large slash marks and bent. 52062-1 JS (2,000-3,000)

3515. CONFEDERATE SHORT SWORD MADE IN COLUMBUS GEORGIA CARRIED BY SOLDIER IN 55th GEORGIA INFANTRY. This is classic cutlass short sword once thought to be made by Union Car Works in Portsmouth Virginia, but now known to be made in Columbus, Georgia probably at the Columbus Iron Works. 22” overall, 17” double edge wasp waist blade with old attached sticker which reads “James G. Rogers / GA Vols”. A quick search of the Civil War database finds only one James G. Rogers who is listed as a Captain in Co. H 12th Infantry Georgia who was killed September 17, 1862. Mr. Donaldson has additional records showing a J.G. Rogers who was a private in Co. C 55th Georgia (spelled Rodgers on official documents) who died June 21, 1863. Regardless this is an honest “as found” of a popular Confederate sword. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gray blade with staining and pitting Turned wood grip with hand worn patina. 52438-8 JS (2,000-2,500)

Estates & Collections Department What will happen to your collection? Plan ahead with our unique “Plan in Place” The numerous benefits derived from collecting do come with an important responsibility–the eventual dispersal of our collection. The James D. Julia “Plan in Place” addresses exactly this responsibility–the planned dispersal of our collections. Unfortunately, many passionate collectors never make plans for the dispersal of their collection. They simply don’t want to think about it.

This, however, is not a smart, practical or considerate approach. We all know that someday we will die and most smart and considerate mates prepare wills and/or trusts to deal with their personal assets after they are gone. (If you haven’t yet, it is very important that you do.)

It is not often that a collector has a documented, well-laid-out plan for the disposition of their collection after they are gone or become unable to handle their own affairs. The lack of a “Plan in Place” can prove to be a great burden and hardship for our survivors in their time of greatest stress and loss. A collector, as they say, might “roll over in his/her grave” if he/ she knew what stress, confusion, or significant financial loss the dispersal of their collection generated due to the absence of a well laid-out plan.

Julia’s is renowned for their expertise and appraisal services. They regularly provide appraisals for insurance, estate and auction purposes. Here, President Jim Julia discusses the value and significance of some outstanding sporting guns with longtime Firearms Consultant J.R. LaRue.

The James D. Julia, Inc. Stimulus Plan The auction process is a powerful marketing device. A quality selection of goods with realistic estimates will assure a cadre of buyers and sometimes the results can be exciting. Auctions still represent the very best way to turn a quality collection, an entire estate or a large inventory into a respectable sum of cash with minimal effort on the owner’s behalf. Now is a great time to consider selling at auctions. “Cash is King.” For the first time in many years, there are extraordinary buying and investment opportunities so it makes great sense to consider consigning to our upcoming auctions. But there is also another reason to consider…

1.

seller’s commission. That’s right, only 0% c­ ommission on ­expensive items. Also very ­competitive rates on less expensive items. Julia’s has a­ lways ­tendered some of the best terms in the industry and this is, in part, just one of the many reasons why we are one of the leading auction houses in North America.

Successes

Colt Walker A Co. 210 Sold for $920,000 (est. $500,000-1,000,000)

World record for the most expensive ­single firearm sold at auction in history, at the time

2.

Cash advances. On important collections or consignments.

3.

Finder’s fees. We pay significant fees for leads on large and important ­collections (one agent received a check for $165,000 for his lead on a ­single collection). As Abraham Lincoln is credited with once s­ aying, “…knowledge is your stock in trade.” If you know about a collection that could possibly be coming to market, call us i­mmediately. How could you ever make a significant amount of money in an easier way?

4.

Free pick up on large collections and large consignments, anywhere.

5. The finest marketing and promotion plan in the ­business. Our promotion and marketing efforts are the most aggressive in the business. Our ­catalogs are the finest within the industry. We work for you and we do everything we can to ­maximize your return.

6.

7.

We are auctioneers only, not dealer/auctioneers. Our time, energy, money and efforts are all ­expended on you. We do not c­ ompete with our buyers’ buying or with our sellers’ ­selling. We work for you only!

Financial security. James D. Julia’s is solid as a rock: in the business for over 40 years with our last 5 being the most s­uccessful in our history. Banking references available from our banker of many, many years.

Washington’s Personal Map for the Siege of Yorktown Sold for $1,150,000 World record for the most expensive map ever sold at auction.

Record for most expensive antique sold at auction in Maine.

8. The strongest rate of return! For a matter of years now, our firm has ­consistently ­conducted the highest ­grossing firearms ­auctions in history. In addition, we have m ­ aintained the h ­ ighest average sale value per lot on a c­ onsistent basis. The last couple of auctions have averaged around $10,000 per lot, per sale. Our Firearms, Rare Lamps, Glass & Fine Jewelry and Fine Art, Asian & Antiques Divisions are all leaders in their fields.

If you are considering consigning, your primary goal should be to obtain the greatest net return for yourself. In order to do that, two things must be in play 1) select the auctioneer who will get the ­greatest return for your goods, and 2) select the ­auctioneer that will give you the lowest commission terms. Julia’s does e­xactly that; the greatest rate of return for the lowest cost. This means the most money for you. Call today. All inquiries are ­confidential and without obligation.

Warning: Neither James D. Julia auctioneers, their consignors, employees or agents warrant the safety or the shootability of any firearm in this catalog. All firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items. If you wish to attempt to shoot them you must have the weapons examined by a competent gunsmith who will test the weapon for its shootability and also to ensure that the caliber of the breech is in fact the caliber that is thought to be. Since all firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items, they are not examined, tested or warranted by James D. Julia’s consignor, employees, or agents. Please be sure that if you attempt to fire the gun, you have it properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith.

James D. Julia, Inc. Policy on NFA Firearms Collecting Class 3 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 3 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 discuss options open to you including selling it for you at a future sale.

All buyers of Class 3 items must pay for their purchases immediately.

Then, subject to federal law, the guns must be properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. This procedure normally takes a matter of a few months. As per the conditions of our sale in the front of the auction catalog, all warranties regarding items in this catalog expire 45 days after the auction, once we have paid the consignor. Subsequently, if you have successfully purchased a Class 3 item, it is your responsibility to examine it or to have someone examine it for you immediately, within those 45 days. If a problem is discovered after 45 days there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. We cannot make adjustments or cancel the sale. Also please understand that if for any reason you cannot get cleared by BATFE to obtain the right to take possession of the firearm you purchased, then we will discuss options open to you including selling it for you at a future sale. Without appropriate approved transfer you cannot take possession of the firearm. If there are any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us prior to bidding on any Class 3 items. There are no exceptions to the above rules. Please bear that in mind before you bid on Class 3 items.

First and foremost, All NFA Rules Apply. All Class 3 firearms must be registered and properly transferred in compliance with BATFE rules. Class 3 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 3 firearm to a non-licensed, non-Special Occupational Taxpayer: a. You must pay JDJ Inc. in full for the item(s). b. You must provide JDJ Inc. with the information on whom the gun will be legally transferred to. c. JDJ Inc. will supply all the proper forms after the payment of your balance with JDJ Inc. d. You will need 2 passport photos, 2 sets of fingerprints, and complete in duplicate ATF Form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance, and the appropriate BATFE form which will require the signature of your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer. If there are any State or local forms required you will be responsible for obtaining these.

Regardless of the specific type and status of Class 3 firearm, receiving approval from the BATFE for the transfer to an individual usually takes approximately 180 days from the time the BATFE receives the completed paperwork. Transfer to a licensed Class 3 dealer usually takes approximately 45-60 days.

If you are a non-licensed individual the BATFE transfer fee for most NFA firearms (Machine Gun, Destructive Device, Silencer, Short Barreled 383

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.

Transfer fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Outstanding balances to JDJ Inc. for your Class III firearm purchase must be paid before any transfer paperwork can be submitted to BATFE. Gun laws have been changing, and you must confirm for yourself the current State and local laws which may apply. It is our understanding (but you must confirm for yourself ) that Machine Guns may not easily be owned (if at all) by individuals in CA, DE, HI, IL, IA, KS, MI, NC, NJ, NY, RI and WA. There are some “special” exceptions in a few of these states that are “rarely issued” so while it is possible, this list should be a general rule. 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, or Form 5 (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 3 firearm to a Class 3 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. If you are a Curio and Relic license holder in another State, and there are no State or local prohibitions, you may apply for the transfer of a Curio & Relic qualified machine gun directly from JDJ Inc. through the BATF using the appropriate forms and process.

Not all Class 3 may be purchased by individuals and most specifically, anything termed as a “Dealer sample machine gun” can only be transferred from JDJ Inc. to valid Class 3 dealers. All Dealer Samples in our catalog are clearly designated and most of them have been grouped together with a designation at the beginning of the title with three asterisks (***) and the initials “DS” as well as the words “Dealer Sample” in the title. If you have any question as to whether the lot is a Dealer Sample or not, please be sure to check with us.

If you are not a Class 3 dealer, you may still purchase what is referred to as a Dealer Sample at our auction. However, this gun may only be transferred to a current Class 3 dealer. What some people have done is purchase a “Dealer Sample” gun, then had it transferred to a dealer friend. This Dealer Sample gun remains in the dealer’s possession, and the buyer may then join their dealer friend at the range from time to time and enjoy the gun.

Julia’s wants to be absolutely clear that a bidder who bids on, and wins an item becomes the owner. It is up to the buyer to make arrangements and agreements with any dealers to receive and possess the guns. Perhaps only to hold for a period of time until the buyer applies for, and receives their own Class 3 dealer’s license. The BATFE will not approve the transfer of a dealer sample machine gun from JDJ Inc. to someone who is not an FFL holder AND a Special Occupational Taxpayer.

If you have a question about the transfer and ownership of machine guns, and about the status of the gun(s) you wish to bid on at auction, please contact us and our staff at James D. Julia inc. will do their best to help you.

Remember, it is your responsibility prior to the purchase to make certain that you may legally purchase and possess a machine gun.

James D. Julia, Inc. Matching $5 for $5 NRA Foundation Donation A portion of the late Mr. Bruce Stern’s firearms collection was included in our March 2008 auction. Mr. Stern was a passionate collector and staunch supporter of our 2nd Amendment Rights to collect, shoot and bear arms. As proof of his staunch beliefs, he was a very active member of the NRA and his wife and family made a significant donation to the NRA in memory of Mr. Stern. In support of Mr. Stern’s strong beliefs, James D. Julia has announced a new $5 for $5 Pledge to benefit the NRA Foundation.

In 2004, after handling the renowned Eldon Owens firearms collection, we learned of the Owens commitment to the NRA via a significant donation from his estate. At that time, moved by his conviction, we made a pledge to the NRA Foundation to donate $100,000. We are pleased and proud to announce that this pledge has been fulfilled and there is now a special fund whose proceeds will be used in perpetuity for the sole purpose of educating youth in shooting firearms skills and safety. It is the firm belief of James D. Julia Auctioneers that if we wish to continue to possess, collect, shoot and handle firearms it is going to be imperative that we continue to fight for our rights. The NRA works hard at generating monies to deal with the various anti-gun legislation that we are continually confronted with but money alone is not the answer. It is our sincere belief that we

385

also must continually maintain and increase a constituency of interested citizens who wish to continue to collect, handle and shoot firearms. To that extent we have designated that our fund be to continually encourage youth interest in guns and shooting sports.

James D. Julia has made an additional pledge to the NRA Foundation.

Each time we sell a firearm, we will make a suggestion to buyers for a donation of $5 to the NRA Foundation and for any customer who makes a donation James D. Julia Auctioneers will match up to $5 per gun to be donated to the NRA Foundation. If you wish to donate less than $5, we will match that amount. If you wish to donate more than $5 per gun, we will match up to $5.

After the auction and the donation is made from this auction, we will send a notice to everyone that has participated advising them of what the total donation was. The donation will go to the special fund mentioned above, which we have already begun in the NRA Foundation. Please consider joining us in supporting this very worthy endeavor. Thank you.

Sincerely, Jim and Sandy Julia

North America. The use of special press releases provided to key publications throughout North America also maximizes exposure. Advance notices and the ­complete catalog with photos are loaded onto our website available to the world.

We have a special arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) so our catalogs are also loaded on their websites. This allows all Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) clients to bid on the items in our auction whether as an absentee bid or in live-time the day of the auction via their ­computer. We also represent our clients’ goods at various key antique shows throughout the country, and in ­addition have an aggressive telemarketing program to promote your goods. We spend a tremendous amount of money and energy making certain that your goods have the maximum exposure to potential buyers.

Record Prices

Expertise Our expertise as auctioneers is unrivaled and extends over a period of nearly thirty-five years. In addition, each Julia specialty auction is cataloged by a nationally renowned expert within that field. In order to be part of the Julia team, these experts have to enjoy a similar reputation for honesty and fair dealings and be fully k­ nowledgeable in their specific field. Our specialists have 15-35 years of experience in their chosen fields. This not only instills confidence in the seller, but even more importantly instills confidence in our buyers, many of whom don’t attend the auctions but utilize our catalogs freely knowing that they can trust our catalog descriptions.

The Julia Auction Firm has established records in numerous specialty fields over the years. In some cases, both national and world record prices are set at our auctions. In short, our experience, sterling reputation, hard work, and aggressive marketing plans add up to the ultimate return to you, the seller. We have one of the most ­competitive commission rates in the country. If you have an individual expensive item or high quality items you will find that no one will beat our commission rates.

Promotional Package

Innovative Programs

We utilize a highly diversified and structured promotional campaign for each auction. This includes, but is not limited to, professionally prepared, fully detailed and illustrated catalogs, and a tremendous diversity of a­dvertisements in various types of media all over North America. A highly detailed and fully illustrated ­promotional brochure is sent out to our mailing list. Our mailing list includes numerous specialty departments including a vast number of names of special collectors and dealers all over

We are always striving to serve our customers better, both buyers and sellers. Some current innovations include our Trade Up Program.

This is a new program at Julia’s which essentially allows the collector to obtain new and exciting items for their collection and at the same time dispose of unwanted items from their ­collection.

The net result can be no cash outlay on the collector’s behalf to obtain items he/she desires to add to their collection. To our knowledge we are the only auction firm in North

America providing this p ­ rogram. The concept or ­ possibilities are virtually limitless. Parties wishing to explore this should call our office for more details. Arrangements to p ­ articipate in this program must be made prior to the actual purchase at ­auction.

Web Presence: We utilize our website to load advance notices of our clients’ goods to be included in upcoming auctions. In addition, we load our entire auction catalog, complete with photos, on our website so that the world can preview the catalog free of charge. We also have an arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only). The end result is that usually our entire catalog with photos is loaded onto these platforms two weeks prior to the auction where any customer in the world can submit a bid. The day of the auction our entire catalog is offered on these platforms.

The innovative technology allows a person to sit at their computer regardless of where they are in the world and view the progression of the auction. If they have registered in advance they can bid on anything in the catalog the moment it is being offered at auction. This has proven to be a convenience for some of our absentee bidders and it also increases the exposure for our sellers. Our online auctions are a very successful method of marketing certain types of goods. It greatly benefits buyers and sellers alike. However, our live catalogs are still the best way to auction better quality and more desirable items, particularly the rare and choice items.

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Bidding It’s always best to attend the auction in person to bid on the items you wish, but if for some reason you can’t attend, there is no reason that you can’t obtain some of the items that you would like to purchase. At Julia’s, absentee bidding is always a convenient, easy and safe means of acquiring items that you want. As you can see, our specialty catalogs illustrate all lots to be sold, and as well give a complete description which includes condition. These descriptions, as per the conditions of our sale in the front of your catalog, are guaranteed against major discrepancies with a major impact on the value.

If there are some items here that you think you would like to own but can’t attend the auction, we have many options to help you bid without being in the audience.

If you are the winning bidder, after the auction you will receive an invoice via email and then in the mail from us. Typically the email invoices are sent out within 24 hours after the auction, and the paper invoice is sent out 2 business days after the auction..

1. Bidding Options a. Leave a Bid Send in the form in your catalog or download a bid form from our website http://jamesdjulia. com/absentee-bidding/. You can bid by mail by simply filling out the form in the back of the catalog and sending along a 20% deposit check or credit card information. You can fax the form to us, email it to us, or call us with your absentee bid. A valid credit card is required. Your account is charged only if you are delinquent in making your payment. (There are additional fees associated with using credit cards.) If you provide us with your email address, we will send you a confirmation email to verify the lot numbers, description and amount of your bid.

Please review this confirmation to make sure that everything is entered properly.

Remember, at Julia’s, the way we conduct the absentee bids, it’s entirely possible to buy something for less than your top bid since your bids are executed competitively by our team in an attempt to buy the lot as reasonably as possible, just as though you were in attendance.

c. Live-time Bidding via the Internet Julia’s has partnered with third party online bidding platforms to offer customers the ability to bid live online from anywhere. Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on the online bidding sites about two weeks prior to the auction. The lot number, an image of the lot, and a brief description with a presale low and high estimate will be shown on the screen.

Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction.

Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction. d. Absentee Bidding via the Internet Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on third party online bidding platforms about two weeks prior to the auction. You may view any of these items and submit bids up to 2 weeks prior to the auction by following their registration and absentee bid instructions. Specific information on how to do this is available on each of their sites. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction.

Internet absentee bidders are advised that their absentee bids may not be executed in the event of technological problems. Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction.

2. How Do I Set Up a Phone Bid? Simply send in your bid form from your catalog

or download a bid form from our website www. jamesdjulia.com/absentee-bidding/ and mark the bid as a phone bid, email it to us at bid@ jamesdjulia.com, fax it to us at 207-453-2502 or call into the office 207-453-7125 to register for the lots for which you would like to bid on the telephone.

3. How Do I Register to Bid Online?

To register, contact the online bidding service, Invaluable at www.invaluable.com, www. bidsquare.com (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or www.proxibid. com (included only during Firearms auctions) at www.proxibid.com and register in advance of the auction. You will be notified that you have been approved to bid and your registration will be complete. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

4. How Do I Bid Live Through the Internet Bidding Platforms?

You will need to register for the auction with the third party online bidding platform first. Once you have been registered, watch for your lot. When the lot comes up for bid, a window will display a price the auctioneer is asking for. If the window is flashing $5,500, it means the auctioneer is asking for $5,500. As the auctioneer receives that bid and then asks for a higher bid a new amount will flash in that window. If you have registered to bid you may bid in the auction by simply clicking the bid button on your screen. Regardless of where you are in this country or where you are in the world it will automatically register on a computer at our auction site where a technician will see your bid and bid on your behalf. This innovation allows you to bid live-time during the auction.

Online bidding allows the bids to be almost instantaneously transferred to you and to us, so subsequently you can bid within the confines of that time. There are some people who like to bid

b. Phone Bids On the more expensive lots, ($500+ and up) if you feel you would really like to purchase them and not be restrained by the process of a written bid, we can make arrangements to call you at the time the lot is coming up and you may bid over the telephone on the lots as they are being sold.

Remember phone bids must be arranged well in advance of the auction (see instructions above on how to leave a bid). Also please remember there are a limited number of phones available, so if you would like to phone bid, you should make your arrangements early.

this way and some of our clients have found it both interesting and convenient to do so. If you have any questions about this please don’t hesitate to call our office, or contact Invaluable, BidSquare (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or Proxibid (included only during Firearms Auctions).

Invaluable also provides a web tutorial on bidding for those who would like more details, along with an extensive FAQ section http:// www.invaluable.com/invaluable/help.cfm.

5. How Much Time Do I Have to Bid on a Lot? If the asking bid is something you are willing to pay, do not hesitate. For the most part, the auctioneer does not stop or slow down, he simply moves along at a very brisk pace. It is always assumed by the auctioneer that the bidder knows what they want to bid and if they do not bid or hesitate to bid, it means they are not interested.

The auction process moves very rapidly whether you are live at the auction, online or on the phone. For anyone wanting to be successful, it is important that you know or make up your mind before the lot is sold just how high you will bid on that particular lot. Those who wish to think about it while the auction is in process and bid on impulse, will find themselves not being as successful, being frustrated and sometimes even paying more than they normally intended to.

6. How Much Do I Bid? Bid whatever you wish, our online and printed catalogs as well as online listings offer item descriptions which include estimated low to high value range. These estimates are in no way an indication of what the items will definitely bring. If you will check our past catalogs, you will find some items bring less than low estimates, some items bring far more than the high estimate. So it’s totally dependent upon how badly people want the items.

7. Who Bids?

There are generally two categories of absentee bidders. a. The collector type, who seriously wishes to purchase a given lot or lots. To that buyer we encourage you to bid as high as you feel comfortable bidding. If you seriously want the lot you should not hesitate to consider going above the high estimate to ensure that you get it. b. The next type of absentee bidder is the person who is a dealer buying for stock or a collector willing to buy items only if they are at a real bargain. This type of bidder will often bid on a large number of items knowing full well that not everything will bring a strong price, there are bound to be some things that will fall well below our estimate and that bidder knows that if they leave a large number of bids that they have a chance of picking up a few things at a very Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

reasonable price. Some bidders will leave 3, 4, 5 or 6 pages of bids with us, based with that theory in mind. And usually they are successful with a few items and the items they are successful with tend to be very good buys.

8. What Is a “Plus 1” Bid? Some bidders not wishing to lose a lot for the same price or just slightly above what their top bid was elect to use our “Plus 1” policy. What this does is empower our staff to go one more bid for you in the event someone in the audience has bid the exact same amount of your top bid or just slightly above it. The bookkeeper will then bid one more bid which sometimes is all it takes to get the lot. Typically the auctioneer raises the increments by 10%. If you submit a “Plus 1” Bid, we will increase your bid by 10% over your bid amount. A “Plus 2” bid will increase your bid by 20%.

9. What is a “Cover” Bid? The phone bidding system is not a perfect one.

You may be out mowing the lawn and forget about your bid. Or somehow, the phone number got transposed and the phone agent is desperately trying to reach you but unbeknownst to them, they are calling the incorrect number.

Or the phone system could break down. Any myriad of other issues can arise. If you seriously want a particular item, your best strategy is to leave a cover bid.

A cover bid is a bid which you leave along with your phone bid instructions. If for any reason at all, your phone agent is not able to get in contact with you, they are authorized to bid up to that amount. Please note, your agent does not use the cover bid if they have you on the telephone. You are in control when you are on the telephone.

The cover bid is only an insurance policy in the unlikely event that your phone agent is unable to make a connection with you. Subsequently, the only way your cover bid is utilized is if your phone agent cannot get through to you. They will bid up to your cover bid and no more.

Again, please remember, the cover bid means nothing if your phone agent gets ahold of you.

388

Even though you left a $10,000, when your phone agent has you on the phone, you might decide not to go any higher than $4,000. That is your prerogative. On the other hand, you might change your mind and decide to go to $15,000.

That is still your prerogative and the benefit of being on the telephone.

If you choose to not leave a cover bid and if we do not reach you on the phone, there is nothing we can do at that point.

10. Will Julia’s Tell Me What the Top Bid is on a Lot? Absolutely not. At Julia’s we never ever divulge how much an absentee bid is or who has left bids. Under no circumstances do we ever divulge that information. We can advise you and assist you with your bids. For instance, if you only have $3,000 to spend but are interested in three separate lots all in the general value range of $3,000 and don’t know which one you should pursue, you may call our office and if two of the lots you are interested in seem to have a great deal of interest in them and the third lot has no interest whatsoever, we will gladly advise you of that. Remember, under no circumstances would we ever divulge who has bid or how much any of our absentee bids are.

11. Can I Leave an Unlimited Bid? Absolutely not. We cannot honor bids which do not have a set top amount. If you want a lot very badly, then we suggest you bid well above the estimate and pick a figure that you would feel comfortable owning it at should it go that high.

12. Does Absentee Bidding Work?

Absolutely. At our specialty auctions from anywhere to 25% to 45% of all merchandise is purchased by absentee bidders. And some items are acquired for well less than their top absentee bid.

13. Does the Auctioneer Reopen Bidding?

The James D. Julia Auctioneers must conduct their auctions in accordance with UCC statutes which specifically state that when the hammer

falls, the bidding is concluded and the winning bidder announced is the new owner. Because of this law, the auctioneer cannot and will not reopen the bidding because you decided too late to bid. This is a law and the auctioneer must abide by this. The only exception is “where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid. The auctioneer may in his discretion reopen the bidding or declare the good sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling.” This is the only exception. Therefore, if you seriously want a lot, do not hesitate to bid because once the hammer falls it is sold and there is nothing the auctioneer can do about it.

14. How Do I Know if I Won? After the auction is over with, our staff will send out bills to all the successful bidders on the next business day. Please do not attempt to call the auction facilities the day of the auction. Our lines are frequently busy with phone bidders and we cannot tie up the lines and the office staff when not on the phone with absentee bidders.

They are extremely busy cashing out customers and very rarely have time to check the records for bids at that time. If you must call, we would advise you to call the afternoon of the first business day following the auction.

15. What is a Late Bid? We frequently process thousands of bids for an auction. Please make sure your absentee bid form is received by Julia’s no later than 4:00 pm EST the date before the auction. If you are an international bidder, or first time bidder, please allow two additional days to establish your account with Julia’s If you are mailing or faxing bids we encourage you to phone our office before the auction to confirm that we received your bids. A while ago, we sent a group of eight letters out to people in various parts of the country and for some reason, the entire packet of eight letters took 14 to 16 days to get to their destination. Please be sure to call and confirm that we’ve received your bids if they’ve been sent out seven to ten days prior to the auction.

16. How Much Does it Cost? a. Absentee Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. b. Phone Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. c. When you win an item through an internet platform, there are additional service fees. Please see the Conditions of Sale for the third party online bidding platforms for more information.

the speaker system broadcasting everything the auctioneer is saying and in front of the phone bidders sits a myriad of auction participants, many of which may be speaking with one another. Bottom-line is that an auction is an incredible arena of activity and noise and very difficult for your phone agent. The best way for success is to be prepared and do not try to converse with your agent in the process; simply say a “Yes” bid or “No” bid. If you are silent your agent may think the call has been lost and so it is always best to let them know when you are “Out” and would like to stop bidding.

17. How Does the Phone Bidding Process Work the Day of the Auction? What Should I Expect?

Your phone agent will call usually a few lots early to be sure to get you on the telephone on time to bid for the lot. Your phone agent will remind you of a few important instructions on how to successfully bid.

18. What Can I Do When I am Phone Bidding to Better My Chances of being the Winning Bidder? a. Know what you want to bid in advance.

The most successful bidders are the ones that are prepared. To maximize success, you should study the lots and make a decision as to what your ultimate bid should be before you even get on the telephone. If you know you are willing to go to $10,000 and no more and the phone agent tells you that the auctioneer is looking for $5,500, you do not need to think about anything, you simply say “Yes.”Your agent will tell you and repeat one of two messages; either “We have it,” which means there is no need to bid at this moment or “The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid? The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid?” If you want to bid, do not hesitate, do not try to invoke a strategy, do not try to measure the “pulse” of the auction bidding; simply say “Yes, bid,” but say it loudly so there can be no question that your phone agent hears you and perhaps repeat yourself. You need to understand the auction environment for your phone bid agent. The phone bidder is at a table, sometimes there are as many as 10 or 20 other phone bidders on either side of your phone bidder speaking to their bidders. In the background and overhead is

c.

389

b. During the bidding process, only communicate to your phone agent whether you want to bid when they ask you.

Speak loudly.

d. Do not hesitate. The auctioneer will not wait for you anymore than he would for someone in the audience. It is a fact that at every single auction, there are one or two phone bidders who complain and feel the auctioneer should have waited to give them more time to make their decision. If you want to bid, then you need to bid. e. Last of all, when arranging your telephone bids leave a cover bid as a form of insurance.

Good luck. If you have any questions concerning this service, please call before the auction and we will be glad to assist you in any way we can.

Firearms Conditions of Sale - Please Read Please be sure to read the conditions before participating in the sale.

For years, we have worked hard to develop a reputation for honesty and fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will specifically indicate how various circumstances will be handled.

1. Guarantee We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. The catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee. It is a 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. This limited guarantee covers authenticity. It also covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our guarantee is limited, however, it is almost unique in a business that operates “Caveat Emptor”. This is not a perfect system, however, and it is important to be aware of that. Our intention is to be as fair as possible in our catalog descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs of wear. If you are a discerning, highly particular customer, it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique item that has been used and shows signs of wear.

Imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, etc., are commonplace with antiques and with most buyers it is understood and accepted. If, however, you are a very discerning buyer and wish to know exactly what the lot is and if imperfections, handling marks, small alterations are something that are of great concern to you, then expecting mint or near mint condition, it is advisable that you not ever submit absentee bids here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person, since your definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog description is to give our customers a general description and idea of what the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than major, under no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. This means that if you are purchasing a gun and find a small undisclosed surface crack in the wood or a couple of small chips in the wood that were not disclosed, it would not qualify for a refund.

If however the stock were broken through the wrist, that would constitute a major problem and qualify for a refund. If a small in use repair were incorporated in an antique gun and overlooked in a description, it would not qualify for a refund. However, if the barrel were cut or the gun serial numbers did not match, but described as “all matching serial numbers”, obviously that would qualify as a major problem and subject to a cancellation. If the gun were described as excellent original blue and it was discovered to have been reblued, it would qualify for a cancellation. In regards to assessments of quality or percentage of original finish; under no circumstances would we cancel the sale for a difference in assessment. If our cataloger states that the gun retains about 70% of its original blue on the barrel Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

and in your assessment after you receive the gun you feel it’s actually 60%, a refund would definitely not be considered. However, if our cataloger stated that there was 70% original blue and it turned out that it was re-blued, that’s a major problem and it would qualify for a refund. As stated above, this is an imperfect system; the very best thing that a client can do is to attend the auction and view the goods in person or have an agent examine the things on their behalf. In lieu of that, should you elect to leave absentee bids, we will protect you on major problems, but under no circumstances will we cancel the sale for less than a major problem. The purpose of our guarantee is to protect our bidders from major problems that would have major effect upon the value of the firearm. It is impossible for us and it is not our intention to guarantee to satisfy everyone; it is important that one understands this before bidding absentee. Should the need arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog unless we were able to contact you prior to the lot being sold and advise of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or if time does not permit, we will not execute your bid. Please Note: the only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of sale. Absolutely nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee.

Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter of condition, the auctioneer will be the sole judge in the matter of refunds. This guarantee is limited to the following time duration and limits. Please read: A. Time Limit 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. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and void 44 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 45th day. Once we have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a major discrepancy or problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your responsibility to contact our office before the 44 days are up and let us know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 44 days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 46 days after the auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or 396

refund, it is your responsibility to notify us within 44 days after the auction.

B. Limit of Restitution Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages.

Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be accompanied by at least a supporting written statement from an authority recognized by the auctioneers. Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. If it is agreed that an item may be returned, it is the buyer’s responsibility to return it in the same condition as received.

C. Type of Restitution An item that qualifies for an adjustment is limited to one of the following options: 1) Major problems, (i.e. fakes, significant alteration, major unannounced restoration, etc.) will result in a refund in sale price, adjustment in sale price, or repair by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall be the judge as to the final resolve.

2) Less than major problems or discrepancies are not part of the guarantee and no refund or adjustment will be considered for less than major problems.

2. Receipt of Goods All goods sold will be tagged and can be claimed upon presentation of paid receipts ONLY. All items to be wrapped will be wrapped by the purchaser, unless the items are to be shipped.

3. Protested Bids In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder and at his discretion may re-offer and resell the article in dispute.

4. Tax State of Maine sales tax is 5.5% and will be collected at time of payment unless a current sales tax certificate is on file or if shipped anywhere except Maine and Massachusetts. If purchases are shipped to a Maine address, sales tax of 5.5% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file. If purchases are shipped or delivered to a Massachusetts address, sales tax of 6.25% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file.

5. Nominal Bids The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot fails to open for 25% to 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and may not be re-offered until a later sale.

6. Absentee Bids Phone, fax or mail bids will be accepted with a 20% deposit, late bids or last minute bids can be confirmed with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express number, in many cases. In such case, the bookkeeper will execute such bids competitively. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price. Please Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of

charge. Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids; however, you must know that this is not a perfect system neither here nor at any other auction house. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.

7. Terms All items are to be paid for in American funds at the day of the auction. Non-residents who have not established an account with us and wish to pay by check, must do so prior to the beginning of the auction by presenting a current letter of reference from their bank or by providing references which are suitable to the auctioneer. Absentee Bidders - Directly after the auction a bill will be sent to you for the items you purchased and a total amount due. This bill is due upon presentation and must be paid immediately. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank, if the auctioneer deems such action necessary to protect his interest. For bidders located outside of the United States we only accept payment by checks drawn on U.S. banks or wire transfer.

8. Interest and Default Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer’s invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of the auction, James D. Julia, Inc. has the right and will charge the buyer’s credit card of record on file for the total invoice amount. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction.

All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 120 days after the last day of the auction, shall be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item per month. Buyer authorizes auctioneer to sell any goods not retrieved after the 120 day period in any manner deemed appropriate by the auctioneer and the proceeds will be applied to all sums owed by the buyer to the auctioneer under this or any other agreement between the parties. If the sale is conducted by the auctioneer, in addition to all sums due hereunder, buyer shall pay the auctioneer’s standard commission fees and 1% insurance fee. Buyer specifically authorizes any such sale to be held without reserve. Buyer shall be responsible for any deficiencies between the sale price and all sums due hereunder.

9. Reserves Some items in this auction may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the owner or for the auction house. The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer.

Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below the low estimate in the catalog. Actual reserve figures cannot be divulged, but we will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you ask.

10. Withdrawal We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

11. Title A title passes upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer.

It will then be the responsibility of the buyer to make

full payment prior to removing the goods from the premises. It is both the buyer’s risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made with the Julia’s Operations Manager. Please note any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the hammer becomes that of the buyer.

12. Phone Bids At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be arranged on more expensive items, (i.e. $500 or more). In order to make arrangements to bid on the telephone at the time a lot is being sold, you must contact our office in advance of the auction. We will make arrangements to call you just prior to the lot being sold so that you may bid over the telephone.

There are usually a limited number of phone lines available into the room, so if you wish to bid over the telephone, it is important for you to make your arrangements early. “Cover-me Bids”: if you wish to bid by telephone, you might also want to consider a “cover-me bid” at the time you make arrangements for phone bidding. A “cover-me bid” allows your phone contact here at Julia’s to still execute a predetermined bid amount for you in the case that they cannot get through to you on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that he/she cannot reach you.

Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would not use your bid, but rely on your verbal instructions.

“Cover-me bids” are not mandatory, you can place one at your discretion, they are simply a safety device in the event you cannot be reached by telephone in time.

13. Agent Responsibility If you are registering or executing a bid for someone else under your number, please bear in mind that you are responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person you’re executing or registering for pays you or not.

14. Buyer’s Premium Shall be reduced to 15% of the final bid price, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. This is ­assuming the account is paid by check, cash or any equivalent of cash. If you settle your account by credit card the buyer’s premium then shall be the standard 18% of the final bid price which will be applied to each lot sold to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. Winning bids placed through a third-party online platform may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium.

If the Buyer’s Premium set forth on any such platform exceeds the Buyer’s Premium set forth herein, Buyer agrees to pay such additional premium charge.

15. Endangered Species Act The laws of various countries and states regulate the import, export and transport of certain plant and animal items. Julia’s has taken steps to ensure that items offered for sale that are covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) meet the standards for sale under this Act. Transport of these items may require special permits or licenses for import, export or delivery into certain states. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain 397

all such licenses or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or license does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item and obtaining title to the item. The company makes no representation or warranty and accepts no liability whatsoever to the seller, purchaser or any third party with respect to compliance with the ESA or with respect to the availability or issuance of valid import and export permits.

16. Safety Neither James D. Julia auctioneers, their consignors, employees or agents warrant the safety or the shootability of any firearm in this catalog. All firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items. If you wish to attempt to shoot them you must have the weapons examined by a competent gunsmith who will test the weapon for its shootability and also to ensure that the caliber of the breech is in fact the caliber that is thought to be. Since all firearms in this catalog are sold as collector items, they are not examined, tested or warranted by James D. Julia’s consignor, employees or agents. Please be sure that if you attempt to fire the gun, you have it properly checked for safety by a competent gunsmith.

17. Catalog Symbols The catalog description may have symbols in front of the title. These symbols indicate additional information on the lot. It is the bidder’s responsibility to make sure they are aware of the symbols, their meaning and their ability to take possession of the item. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain any permits or licenses that may be required to ship the item into their state or country. Failure to obtain such permit or license does not relieve the buyer from paying for the items and obtaining title to the item. ◊ Import Mark—The item has been marked as required by US law to be imported into the United States. * Modern Firearm—This item is a modern firearm as defined by the Gun Control Act of 1968. There are specific rules related to the transfer of these firearms. ** Class III Firearm—This lot is subject to the more restrictive approval required by the National Firearms Act.

Absentee Bid Conditions

Please read if you are submitting absentee bids.

1. Important Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of charge.

Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids.

However, you must know, that because of the hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of bids that must be processed just prior to an auction, it is inevitable that a few mistakes will occur.

Your best protection is to be there in person, but if you cannot, you must understand that this is not a perfect system and it is not at any auction house. To better serve our absentee bidders, we have what’s referred to as a “plus 1 bid” and on phone bids a “cover me bid”. You should definitely read about both of these and consider using them to help insure your participation.

We will do everything in our power to execute your bids properly, however, in the event of an error of omission, or failure to properly execute ­absentee bids, the Auctioneer shall not be held liable.

2. All absentee bids must be accompanied by a 20% deposit which will be refunded immediately after auction if your bid is unsuccessful. If your bid is successful, your 20% deposit will be applied to the purchase price and the balance due upon presentation of our bill. If time does not permit the physical 20% deposit, you may confirm your bid by your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

Should you provide a credit card number, the only way that we would use your credit card number is if you default on payment, then we would bill your account for the amount due.

bid. If your bid is the only bid on a lot she will not start bidding, she will wait until the audience opens the bid and then compete with them until she has either won the lot or it has gone beyond her limit. It is therefore possible sometimes for you to buy a lot well under your top bid. If two or more bids are received on the same item from different people, the bidding will open at the next logical raise above the second highest bid.

If two absentee bids are received with the exact same amount, the first one received will take precedence.

5. All bids must be in even dollar amounts.

Bids in fractions of dollars or odd amounts will be considered the next lower even dollar amount. The minimum bid increment is usually 10% of the last bid. Therefore, if someone leaves a bid of $100.50 we will automatically round it off to $100. If you should leave a bid of $103 we will round it off to $100.

6. Open bids or bids with no set top amount or orders to just simply buy the lot, cannot be accepted by us. You must have a definite top limit before we can execute your bid. Alternatives to this are as follows:

3. To execute an absentee bid, fill out the enclosed form, listing catalog number, description and your top bid price (not including the buyers p ­ remium). Send this together with your deposit as soon as possible. If your bids are sent seven days or fewer prior to the auction, you should call our offices three days prior to the auction to confirm that we have received your bids. If they have not been received at that point in time, you should submit your bids over the telephone.

a. Telephone Bids: Lot must be worth $500+ each. This can be done by giving us a credit card number to affirm your bids or sending a 20% deposit for what you might anticipate to bid on the object. (NOTE: There are limited phone lines and phone bids will be handled on a first come, first served basis.) Cover Me Bid: 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.

4. Bids are handled in a competitive manner by our bookkeeper who bids on your behalf in an attempt to buy the object for less than your top

b. Plus 1 Bid: Some bidders concerned that their lot might just go for one bid above their top limit, leave a top bid plus one. This works as

follows: the top bid submitted might be $1,000, but not wishing to lose the lot for simply one more bid, the plus one bid allows the bookkeeper to bid one more time on your behalf. Generally a bid increment is 10%, so if you left a $1,000 bid plus 1 it would allow her to go $1,000 plus 100. If you said $1,000 plus 2 bids that would mean $1,000 plus $200. (NOTE: One possible problem that occasionally arises with ­absentee bids is when someone in the audience bids exactly the amount which you specify is your limit. In such a case, we would not go one extra bid unless your bid sheet indicates plus one bid.)

7. Notification of Success: Only successful bidders are contacted. A written bill is usually sent within three (3) working days after the auction. The bill will be accompanied by shipping information. Unsuccessful bidders are not contacted. Phone inquiries regarding your success cannot be answered until the second business day after the auction.

8. Shipping: If you are a successful bidder, a bill will be sent shortly after the auction. This bill must be paid upon receipt. Purchasers should indicate their desired method of shipment if such is necessary. We will be pleased to assist you by shipping items which you purchase. A charge for this service includes labor, packing materials, shipping and insurance. Please Note: Certified check, or wire transfers or any other form of guaranteed funds will expedite shipping.

Shipping can take 14 to 21 days after payment is received (depending upon gallery work load).

9. The Shipping Department may decline to execute instructions to ship items which are too large or too fragile to be shipped by common ­carrier. In such cases, the only way we can ship these special items is by way of a letter from the buyer releasing us from the responsibility of any damage that might occur in shipping.

10. Bidding on any article(s) indicates your acceptance of these terms above. If you need additional information on any of the items, please ­contact our office.
