Commission On Expensive Items & Valuable Collections

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

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

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

Founders

Jeannine Poulin

Stephen Poulin Treasurer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Nick Poulin

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read

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

This limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.

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

1A. FOR PURCHASERS

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

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

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

3. THE AUCTIONEER IS THE SOLE DETERMINANT AS TO WHO IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER: At the Auctioneer’s discretion he may re-offer and resell the article if a dispute arises. Auctioneer’s sale recording shall be conclusive as to who was the successful purchaser and the purchase price. If there is no apparent interest in an item (1/3 of catalog low estimate) or an appreciable opening bid, (when no catalog is printed), the item will be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and will not be re-offered again until possibly at a later date.

4. 5.5% SALES TAX must be charged to all successful bidders.

* Maine residents who do not present a valid ANNUAL RESALE CERTIFICATE at the time of registration will have to pay the 5.5% sales tax. NO EXCEPTIONS.

* Under Maine law, items to be shipped within Maine will have the tax applied.

* If you reside in the state of Maine, but maintain an out of state tax number, you must pay sales tax. This is Maine law.

* Out of State residents. If you are not a Maine resident, we require a copy of your resale certificate. Due to the recent Supreme Court ruling, items shipped to some out of state residents may be charged sales tax, if your state requires our company to collect the recipient’s state sales tax.

* We accept Absentee & Phone bids with the condition that bids are written clearly and that a lot number & brief description of each lot is written out. (i.e.: Lot 101 – Colt Woodsman Revolver – $850.00). It is necessary that this format is followed to be sure that we can check for accidental errors that are made by the absentee bidders with an incorrectly written lot number resulting in the purchase or bidding on an incorrect lot. PLEASE NOTE: IF A BIDDER MISIDENTIFIES A LOT NUMBER OR ITEM THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON RESULTING IN THE PURCHASE OF THE LOT(S) IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER TO PAY FOR THE PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH HE MADE AN ERROR WHEN BIDDING ON THE LOT(S). Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. is not responsible for these errors with absentee bids.

If you supply an email address, when the bids are processed here, you will then be sent a copy of your processed bids. Please review this and determine if any corrections should be made. Notify us immediately with any corrections or changes you may have. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. will not be responsible for errors in absentee bids.

Disclaimer: Any advice or opinions provided by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warranty of condition, authenticity, age, attribution or description of said property.

14A. ABSENTEE BIDDING:

* Absentee bids must be in by the start of the auction. Please try to get them in at least by 5:00 PM EST the day prior to auction. If you wait and place your bids just moments prior to the start of the auction we do not guarantee that your bids will get placed.

* We do not accept +1 bids.

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

* Bid advances are taken at the discretion of the auctioneer. Miniscule advances will not be accepted and will be rounded down. Typical advances are 5-10% of the current bid level.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read

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

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

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

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

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

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

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

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

* All requests for phone bidding should be made before 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone schedule. After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

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

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

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

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

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

* The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as not to miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE

DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS

DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that takes place can and has interfered with customers bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.

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

* Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read

themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank you for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answers to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.

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

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

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

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

* These are bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live. They charge 3% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.

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

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

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

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

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

16. NOTIFICATION OF SUCCESS: Only successful bidders are contacted. To expedite the process we ask that you fill out and send in the “Payment & Shipping” Forms as well as the copy of the FFL or C&R that you intend to use along with your bid sheets. If you are paying by Credit Card for your purchase, please make sure you check the appropriate box for this or remark

somewhere on your bid sheet that we are to charge your card for purchases as well as your shipment. If you have done this and included all your paperwork for your items, then your invoice will go right to shipping and be at the “TOP” of the shipping list. Otherwise successful bidders will be notified in one of the following manners:

A. EMAIL: If an email address is provided, we will email your invoice along with the shipping and payment forms for you to fill in. These will be sent to all successful bidders even if you have already supplied it with your bids. We apologize, but the computer program does not distinguish between who has supplied the necessary information and who has not.

B. FAX: If you do not have email, we can fax your invoice along with the shipping and payment forms for you to fill in.

C. U.S. MAIL: If you do not have email or fax machine, then an invoice will be mailed to the address you provided. This makes for a slow transaction which can lead to an expiration of any possible guarantee on the items you purchase.

17. INTEREST & DEFAULT: Payment is expected immediately following the sale. Any items not paid for within 18 business days of the auction, Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. retains the right and will charge the buyers credit card for the total amount due. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1 1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 18 days from the date of purchase/auction. Should the buyer not comply with any of the Terms & Conditions of Sale, the damage recoverable from the defaulter shall include any loss arising on the resale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales as well as any legal or collection fees incurred. Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. shall hold any money deposited in partial payment on account of any liability of the defaulted item.

19. SHIPPING: Poulins makes every attempt to ship your goods in a timely fashion. Because of the high volume of items being shipped and delays that shipping carriers deal with, please allow 2-3 weeks for your items to be delivered after all paperwork and full payment is received and applied. We do not attempt to make money on shipping but neither do we wish to lose money on shipping. The following is our shipping policy and shipping/handling/box and insurance charges.

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

Class III Policy Please Read

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

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

In order to complete the purchase of a Class III Firearm to a non-licensed individual, you will need the following:

• 2 passport photos

• 2 sets of fingerprints

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

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

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

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

WARNING

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

Robert “Mike” Bricker

(Orrville, Ohio 1934 - 2023)

While most of us go decades before discovering our passions, Mike uncovered his at the very young age of 12 when his grandmother gifted him parts of his great-grandfather, Robert Sands, Civil War uniform. Robert was a Lieut. in the 102nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, SN 31888, who was regrettably captured in September of 1864, however was exchanged in December. Robert had purchased a new outfit including sword, pistol & uniform so all of the items given to him were practically new,

including his Smith & Wesson. Infused with an appetite to learn more, Mike began reading books about the Civil War which led him to his ultimate career.

After graduating from Bowling Green University, with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, he went on to serve his county in the Army from 1956-1958. Mike later earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Kent State University and began his teaching career. He spent his entire 34-year career in the History Department at Glen Oak High School, Canton, OH and retired in 1996. Mike would teach his class with enthusiasm and is remembered by the students fortunate enough to have been part of his class as always telling interesting stories.

Due to his lust for history, Mike was a member and former President of the Orrville Historical Society. Over his years, he managed to amass about 40 S&W No. 2’s as well as written several articles for Gun Report magazine. Mike had many friends, one of which was Mr. John Hamilton. It was from Mr. Hamilton that he acquired a “beautiful Nimschke engraved, rosewood cased Smith & Wesson, SN 25202, that was given to Major Phillip Benner Wilson by the men under his command” (as described in a letter written by Mike to Mr. Curtis). This particular S&W, which is being offered in this auction, was the centerfold in a Man At Arms publication and was also included in Hamilton’s book Colt’s, History and Heroes.

Poulin Antiques & Auctions is honored to have been selected to handle this wonderful collection that belonged to Mike who genuinely honored and celebrated history. Mike knew that he was merely a temporary custodian of the items in his collection and we hope they are all fortunate enough to find their next temporary residences.

Walter H. Olsen

Walter was born in 1944 in Southampton LI, NY. He graduated from Riverhead High School in 1962 and later met his wife, Sharon, in 1966. Together they watched their 2 sons grow into very successful individuals, each now with their own wives who have gifted them 6 beautiful grandchildren.

Without any further formal college education, Walter embarked on a career in building and construction. Walter and Sharon, together as partners, purchased a Marina/Boatyard complex in 1972. They continued to improve and expanded the facility over the years and eventually sold it in 1987. Instead of retiring, they continued the construction business and built many custom homes from Montauk to Westchester NY.

Walter and Sharon also assisted Walter’s father, Walter E. Olsen, with a Christmas tree growing and sales operation. The business was established in 1951 on the family homestead which continues to this day. Walter, together with his friend Henry Dittmer, embarked on a mission to protect private property rights in 1993. The corporation, Civil Property Rights Associates, Inc. was formed with Walter as President. Their goal was to protect the property rights of over 3000 land owners on Eastern LI whose property rights were in danger of being confiscated under the Central Pine Barrens Act. This battle continued for over a decade, ultimately saving the property rights of countless land owners.

Walter began collecting guns at the age of 14 when he was gifted. a 16ga Belgium pinfire SxS by his grandfather in New Jersey, that Walter regards as his prized piece which he still owns to this day. Walter was a successful bidder in many James D. Julia and Poulin auctions in the past where he was able to purchase several guns from the extraordinary Wes Adams Collection which will be sold in this auction.

Walter and Sharon still reside on the homestead of his birthplace with their 3 cats. This selection from his collection is reluctantly being offered at auction due to his states firearm regulations.

Walter & Sharon Olsen Olsen’s Tree Farms

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

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

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

was well known at the shows and knew the answer to most gun questions that were asked of him.

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

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

Martin Lane, who was born in Brooklyn and graduated from the Pratt Institute, learned to appreciate the balance of design and engineering. He traveled extensively in North America, South America, and Europe, motivated by his curiosity and interest in history. As a teenager, he worked for his father’s security firm and had run it for several decades. In his spare time, Mr. Lane liked to race his antique cars, go boating, or admire the scenery along the Hudson River. New Yorkers might see him speeding down the city streets in his antique corvette or eating at Cipriani. He began as a young entrepreneur who wanted to understand the business of antique Colt firearms, but soon developed a passion for collecting historical items, documents, & photographs related to the early history of this country; such as the American Revolution, Civil War, the Western frontier and the American Indian. He is regarded as one of the top experts in this field.

For almost six decades, Martin Lane gathered large and rare collections of historical memorabilia for his clients. He dealt with some of the finest, most expensive, and most famous Colt firearms that are unparalleled in their rarity and history. Martin’s personality and humor are great qualities that enhanced his honesty and integrity as a dealer.

John F. Kennedy once said, “History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.” Martin Lane, with his passion for history held fast to the past through his amazing collections of antique Americana.

His specialty was aways firearms, but he also loved paintings and acquired a wide inventory, especially those of American Indian art. His clients include well known collectors and connoisseurs and he was consulted by specialists for appraisals for decades.

Jon R. Thomas

(October

13, 1952 – March 15, 2023)

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

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

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

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

Jon missed half his sixth-grade year due to mono. It was Ann Thomas to the rescue with a copy of The Shooter’s Bible and a copy of Gun Digest. Jon devoured them cover to cover and committed all gun knowledge to memory. He worked and saved two years to purchase a Belgian Auto-5 shotgun and a Savage 99 rifle in .270. During his high school years, he worked on a survey team so he could carry a .357 revolver. He graduated early to enlist at seventeen in the Marine Corps. It was the tail end of Viet Nam. When the Drill Instructors at Camp Lejeune saw what an excellent marksman he was, they kept him stateside to train recruits in riflery. He was honorably discharged with the rank of -5 which he referred to as a “glorified grunt”.

After the Marines, Jon went to Sam Houston State University where he majored in playing pool and decided that college was not for him. He ended up clerking and gunsmithing at the Sportsman’s Bailiwick in San Antonio’s Alamo Heights area and progressed through the ranks. He started Thomas and Barrett Fine Guns in 1978 when he was twenty-six. When the partnership dissolved, Jon put his credentials out for hire. That brought him to Odessa in 1984 to manage The Sportsman’s Den on Andrews Highway. It was there that a young cowgirl came in to buy a rifle-and Jon was smitten. She was the first gal he had met who knew the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. He married Dolly Donaldson in September of 1985 (much to her sisters’ dismay) and they have shared a life of love and adventure for 37 years.

When Jon was handed his pink slip in 1989. It was no problemGun Sport Ltd. was born on a napkin in the kitchen of a small house on Crescent Drive. He made the gun show circuit-Houston, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Nashville-to acquire

inventory. The first shop was on the second floor in a tiny office building, and sales were by appointment only because of his gun show schedule.

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

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

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

On was an avid reader and history scholar. He studied the tactics of generals, the policies of diplomats, and the rudiments and progressions of civilizations. His keen memory kept a catalogue of historical figures, dates and places, and film quotes. It could be said that he was a Renaissance man. Jon Thomas enjoyed many hunting activities, but he especially loved upland bird hunting, travelling widely to pursue dove, quail, and Hungarian partridge. Though he shot all gauges well, he excelled with his personal favorite – a Grulla Armas matched pair in .28 and .410.

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

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

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

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

Terrence Mathewson McCarty

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enjoy, John McCarty

COLLECTION INDEX:

Milton E. B. von Damm

Milton “Milt” was born in 1936 in Berkeley, California and raised about 40 miles south in Los Gatos, which was, in the 1940’s and 1950’s, an agricultural working - class community. He worked his way through San Jose State University and in the early 1960’s held a non- partisan financial analyst position for the California Legislature. A vice president from the office of, The President of the multi-campuses at the University of California, approached him about helping to seek State funding to continue the creation and growth of three new general campuses. By the late 1970’s, the provision of state funding for public Universities nationally, increasingly had to include student tuition. In 1980, needing to respond to the needs of a growing family, Milt turned his full attention to apartment ownership for future financial security and coin laundries for current cash flow.

Interest in collecting antique fur trade arms and related trade goods began with, curiously entering a coin store in the French Quarter in New Orleans, wondering why a coin store was also selling guns. Due to the desire to learn more about black powder guns and the history of the progression of their firing technology, Milt bought a US military flintlock. The need for a strategy to grow a collection without setting off alarms at home, resolved itself, by saving the coin profit from the vending machines in the coin laundries. The transfer in interest to artifacts associated with the fur trade, was inevitable because of his interest in early Western history.

has involved building a library, traveling to gun shows and belonging to organizations like the Kentucky Rifle Association, having served a term on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Arms Collectors, a partial term on the Guidance Council of the University of California at Berkley’s Bancroft Library and the Presidency of the Jedediah Smith Society. Milt is a long time member and supporter of the Museum of the Fur Trade, located in Chadron, Nebraska, and is also a member of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade Museum, located in Pinedale, Wyoming, the heart of the annual fur trade Rendezvous from 1824 to 1840.

Since purchasing the military flintlock musket in 1980, learning

Milt’s publications include, The Fur Trade; A History of Arms and Fur Trade Goods, 2013 and articles in various arms and fur trade publications over the years.

William Blount

William Blount grew up watching westerns, and the first gun he ever purchased was a Marlin 336. From there he developed a love of the rifles of the old west, particularly Marlins. Over decades, it became his goal to own a collection of antique Marlins, focusing on only factory engraved, original condition rifles from the 1800’s (Marlin models 1881 - 1897).

As time progressed he constantly upgraded his collection to include only the rarest, finest, highly engraved versions of each model, ideally with special features. The result this small but significant collection of engraved Marlins featuring least engraved

In 1971, 11 Bravo Training Company was incorporated into the business plan to train US Military Special Forces as well as law enforcement personnel, with a focus on foreign weapon systems they may encounter during the performance of their duties in

During this time Pestilli also worked for Northeastern University, Boston, MA, ROTC, Rensselaer Poly Tech, Troy, NY, Suny College, Albany, NY and Siena College in Loudenville, NY, Department of Military Science & ROTC Training. He started shooting competitively in the 1970’s through the 1990’s and held the position of Marksmanship Program Coordinator of the Massachusetts Army National Guard. Vin was the NCO1C of SARTS (Small arms readiness training unit).

Master Sergeant Pestillis’ relationship with numerous major firearms manufacturers in so many different professional capacities, allowed him to build an extremely impressive & unique working reference collection. As typical for any firearms factory representatives, it was normal to receive several sales samples of the same firearm, where they were often shipped with consecutive serial numbers. Numerous consecutively numbered pairings are included in this auction, which is a rare & desirable opportunity for advanced collectors.

The expanse of this collection covers such a wide berth of shooting interest, due to Master Sergeant Pestillis’ long career

in the civilian sales industry, combined with his long military training career. From consecutive saddle ring carbines to consecutive Smith & Wesson revolvers, to rare, desirable sniper rifles and both opposing NATO & Combloc military guns, you will find them here.

This is an important collection of firearms that didn’t sit static behind glass or in a steel safe, but were utilized over 40 years to keep law enforcement & military troops safer by training with such unique arms prior to deployment. We are pleased to offer such an important collection to you.

Master Sergeant Pestilli served in the US Army, active and reserve, for 41 years, 1 month and 27 days. After retiring in 2002 from the Army, Vin became a US Army Foreign Weapons Government Contractor from June 28th, 2002 to 2023, and he performed his last class for the US Army Special Forces Association, Chapter 54, Boston, MA on Sept. 23, 2023, in Fryeburg Maine. MSG. Pestilli is a life member of the American Legion, the Disabled American, (DAV), the 26th Infantry Division Association and US Army Special Forces Association, Chapter 54, Boston, MA.

The Lifelong Collection of Glen E. Mattox

Glen Earl Mattox, Jr., was born May 3, 1944 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, the son of Glen and Chloe Mattox. He passed away August 5, 2022 in Missoula, Montana at the age of 78.

After graduating from Kellogg High School in 1962, Glen joined the Army. After serving his Country for six years, he attended North Idaho College. After that, he worked for the telephone company, and was then employed by the Forest Service. In 1980, he married Hanh Nguyen.

Glen’s introduction to the gun world began at the young age of 15 when he was caught sneaking into his first gun show in Coeur d’Alene, ID. From that moment, he was hooked, and this quickly became a passion that would last his entire lifetime.

Glen loved wheelin’ & dealin’ and stories were told both by Glen as well as those who knew him. Glen always claimed that he borrowed $75 to buy his first gun which he swore he sold for $150. There are also eye-witness accounts of Glen selling a Gatling gun across the aisle for a 25% profit BEFORE he had purchased the gun from the other side of the aisle.

Glen was a long-time resident and business owner in Post Falls, Idaho. His passion for collecting drove him to create his Antique Gun Shoppe in 1974. He literally started it with nothing, and then gradually morphed it into more of a museum than a shop. Glen enjoyed putting the time and effort into what he loved and, from his hard work on the Gun Show circuit, he earned national recognition as an expert in Antique Arms, Military and Native American Artifacts. As such, Glen was ultimately cited by dozens of published resources in these fields.

Glen’s enthusiasm and knowledge in the field of collecting led him to become a member of many organizations including:

• Washington Arms Collectors Association, Life Member

• Oregon Arms Collectors Assoc.

• Texas Gun Collectors Association

• Colorado Arms Collectors Association

• Antique Bowie Knife Collectors Association

• Ohio Valley Military Society

• National Rifle Association

• Montana Arms Collectors Association

• Dakota Territory Gun Collectors Association

• Weapons Collectors Society of Montana, Charter Life Member

Those who knew Glen, knew he lived life to the fullest, and he lived the life he chose. While traveling to a gun show, he “died with his boots on,” doing what he loved, and at the end, he was surrounded by his loved ones. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

We are all temporary custodians of the relics and items we collect, covet, and surround ourselves with in our collections. We hope that these items from Glen’s collection find the next best caretakers to carry-on through time as this is surely what Glen would have wanted.

compact, closed bolt carbine, chambered in .45ACP in June of 1940 and entered into a manufacturing contract with Harrington & Richardson to facilitate production. It didn’t have many competitors, as the only similar firearm was the Thompson SMG, but the Reising Model 50 was extremely accurate since it fired from a closed bolt. After submission for testing with the US Army, it was not immediately accepted since its same closed bolt mechanism that provided superior accuracy had a tendency to malfunction when not cleaned and maintained regularly. Since the Thompson SMG faced a shortage, the United States Marine Corps adopted the Reising Model 50 with a parkerized finish, cooling fins, a muzzle device to assist with recoil and with select fire capability. They then requested a modified version for the “Para Marines” that utilized a folding wire stock in a pistol grip design and without the muzzle device. It was known as the Reising Model 55 and shared by the Tank crews. This example, the Model 50 is a select fire, closed bolt sub machine gun. It has a 20 rd. mag-well with 14 cooling fins and a 6 slot muzzle device. Exposed metal surfaces are parkerized w/ blued mag. well & muzzle brake. Full length wooden stock.

1010. MASSIVE THUNDER VALLEY HOTCHKISS MODEL 1880, 2” REVOLVING CANNON, SERIAL NUMBER 0001. Cal. 2”. S# 0001. Bbl. 29.5”. Designed by American inventor Benjamin B. Hotchkiss during the Franco-Prussian War era (1870–1871). He was tasked with supervising the manufacture of metallic cartridges. After witnessing several battles where the current firearms technology was insufficient, his new project became a priority. At the time, the 1868 Congress of St. Petersburg had forbidden the use of exploding shells by European nations for small arms. Shells over 14 ounces (400 grams), however, were not considered “small arms,” so in order to use the projectiles he had designed, his new guns would have to be much larger than current standard ammunition. His original Hotchkiss machine gun of his design was chambered in 37mm (1.45 in.), weighing 455 grams (1 pound).

The Hotchkiss Revolver Cannon is a manually operated (by crank) cluster of five rotating barrels revolving around a solid breech block. It was capable of achieving a rate of fire of over 60 rounds per minute from his exploding shells. By the time the design was finalized, it was too late for the current war, but following extensive trials, it was purchased for use by several nations, including Brazil, China, and the United States. This particular example was manufactured by Michael B. Suchka of Thunder Valley Engraving and Thunder Valley Machine Company, as well as numerous miniature-scale replicas of the Hotchkiss and Gatling Guns. This one boasts serial number 0001 and features the massive 2” Hotchkiss cartridge. The massive, 5-barrel cluster is encased by a beautiful ornamentally engraved brass receiver, measuring 23” in length and 13” in diameter. There are two brass barrel bands on the cluster, the front measuring 1.25” and 12” in diameter, and the rear measuring 3.125” thick and 12.75” in diameter. They are both ornamentally engraved, and the rear band has numbers corresponding to each barrel. The left side of the brass receiver is engraved, “THUNDER VALLEY HOTCHKISS / PALMYRA, NEBRASKA U.S.A / MODEL 1880 CALIBRE 2 INCH / SERIAL NUMBER 0001”. The back of the brass receiver is engraved “HOTCHKISS REVOLVING CANNON / 2” / CALIBRE”. The left side of the receiver is engraved in very small letters: “BLACK POWDER ONLY”. The cannon is mounted on an equally impressive wood and iron carriage with wheels measuring 58” in diameter. The wood is painted red and accented with black painted iron bands, hardware, and accents. MAGS: 1 steel, 17” tall feed chute that bolts onto a brass receiver. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Full length cleaning rod. CONDITION: This massive Hotchkiss is larger in life than you could imagine by reading any measurements. The gorgeous red and black wood and iron carriage functions fluidly and rolls with ease. The brass receiver of the gun is gently aged with a typical, scattered, light mustard patina but could easily be polished to a mirror finish with the desire to do so and some elbow grease. The engravings are deep, fine, and easy to read. The black-painted iron surfaces have some patina to add character but could also be cleaned up if desired. The bores are clean, and the rifling is strong. The carriage is as beautiful as the cannon, with full paint coverage. It is solid and moves with ease. The wooden hubs appear to have cracked but retain structural integrity with the dual black iron bands. The black iron bands that run the length of the legs provide strength to the frame and are accentuated with brass bolts. The T&E mechanism moves with ease.

Both are direct evolutions of Sir Hiram Maxim’s original 1884 Maxim gun. The MG08-15 utilizes a shoulder stock and forward mounted pistol grip & trigger for firing prone from a bipod. While retaining a similar water jacket, fusee cover and knuckle-buster charging system to Sir Hiram Maxim’s original design, it has a much smaller receiver signature and is intended to be fired in a similar fashion to a traditional rifle, without the necessity of a heavy mount. Feeding was aided by a circular box, presented at the right side of the feed mechanism, to support a loaded belt without the necessity of an A-Gunner. This example currently wears a top cover marked by Spandau, 1917 & also includes unit markings designating it as Guard Regiment #3, 5th Company. The paperwork simply lists “Germany” as the manufacturer. The left sideplate retains the original German markings, serial number 5303 w/ a few Imperial proof marks. Much of it still retains matching numbers such as left sideplate, stock/backplate, small external firing mechanism parts, lock & even barrel. The fusee cover, top cover & feed block do not match. Markings are clear and strong throughout. Hardwood shoulder stock and checkered pistol grip. Bipod is also painted green. Green drum magazine interfaces with a hanger that attaches to the gun below the feed block, with painted, raised lettering reading “Feuer!” (Fire) in red, and “Kurbelhuch” (Crank) in white. Rear sight graduated to 2000 meters w/ front blade sight at end of barrel jacket. MAGS: 1 Cloth belt App 8 feet in length with brass tab & 1 aluminum 250rd belt. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1 Spare barrel, 2 armorers wrenches, 1 spare lock, 1 steam hose, spare internal parts, 1 single spade grip (appears to be stateside manufacture) 4 different English translated manuals. CONDITION: blued finish on exposed metal parts consistently thin & browning, appearing period correct. All possess clear, legible stampings in several areas. Wooden shoulder stock has several typical impressions and a few light divets, though nothing appears to have affected the structural integrity. Stock checkering on rear still remains deep & aggressive. Pistol grip is checkered with typical impressions. Bore on mounted barrel is quite dark but still retains strong rifling, while spare barrel is brighter, with strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

well was updated to utilize STANAG magazines & a forward assist was added on the right side to facilitate quieter charging, if desired. The polymer forend is more triangular in shape than the G3 or 33 & the charging handle has been extended to more resemble the HK21 family. A spring loaded dust cover was added over the ejection port and a spring loaded carry handle has been placed above the mag-well, the center balance point of the rifle. A bolt release was added at the top of the mag-well on the left side. The 4-position trigger group incorporates a 3-round burst feature that resets upon every use, making 3 rounds available regardless of how many were expelled during a prior burst. It is marked w/ pictograms signifying Safe-Semi-Burst-Full Auto. The stock is a collapsible variation of the “Meat Tenderizer”, locking in both open & closed positions. Sights consist of the traditional HK style rifle & SMG sights including a protected post front & 4-position drum, rear sight. Threaded barrel is terminated w/ factory flash hider. Unlike the earlier offerings, the trigger pack is retained not w/ 2 push pins, but a single push pin at the rear w/ the group clipping into the receiver behind the mag-well. Overall weight, unloaded is 9 lbs, 14 oz. The G41 was developed during the same time frame that HK was working on their G11 caseless-ammunition project as well as the HK50. The collapse of the former Soviet Union & the reunification of Germany lead to the G11 program being abandoned & the G41 project being curtailed in favor of the HK50. The G41 was the last in a long line of firearms utilizing the roller delayed blowback action, as HK followed technology into the age of lightweight polymers & a more conventional gas system, like the G36. The number of G41s in the United States is extremely low, rumored to be under 5 making this piece an extremely rare & desirable find for any HK collector. MAGS: 6 German 30 rd. “IF” date coded, 1985. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES:2 HK owners manuals. CONDITION: Original finish complete & consistent w/ only light signs of prior use such as thinning at ejection port which happens almost immediately.

1939 as a replacement for the Type 96 LMG in order to utilize the much more powerful 7.7mm Japanese cartridge. It proved to be one of the most successful Japanese machine gun designs of the WWII era. Barrel incorporates enormous circular cooling fins, along w/ 5.5” cone flash hider as evidence of being heavily inspired in design by the early French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun. The inspiration from the British Bren can also be recognized in the top mounted magazine placement, the front folding bipod, and wooden barrel handle. The heavy, machined parts are accentuated w/ a hardwood shoulder stock & serrated pistol grip. No provision for monopod below buttstock. Solid front sight blade w/ out radium insert. Mismatched numbers throughout. Well preserved blued finish.

1015. FULLY TRANSFERABLE ORIGINAL JAPANESE TYPE 11 NAMBU LMG.

Cal. 6.5mm. S# 10522. Bbl. 20”. Mfg. Jun. 1935. First brought into service in 1922, this was the first light machine gun that Japan had designed for themselves.

As odd as it may appear compared to other guns of the period, it had some equally unusual features specific to Japan. The left-side mounted feed hopper utilizes clips originally intended for the standard Arisaka rifle. This allowed any Rifleman to feed it, in case of an unexpected shortage. Another unique feature was their interesting oiling station as they were being loaded. While it had the ability to run their standard 6.5mm ammo, a slightly reduced load was designed for daily use. The Type 11 utilizes a gas operated, open bolt system w/ an adjustable gas port. The barrel incorporates enormous circular cooling fins as evidence of being heavily inspired in design by the early French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun. These heavy fins measure almost 2” in diameter for the first 12” of barrel, beyond the chamber, and are reduced to .86” in the last 3” to the muzzle. Aside from the unique, heavily finned barrel, the Type 11 may be easiest identified by its right side, angular stock, which protrudes from the bottom of the rear facing pistol grip in a tubular manner before returning to a more traditional shoulder stock shape. The front 7” is steel, integral w/ the trigger group, before utilizing wood construction, ending w/ a heavy steel buttplate. This offset design allows for both right & left hand operation & allows an easier disassembly without having to remove the stock. Just rear of the front sight is a rear folding bipod w/ 17” legs. Front sight is a protected blade, offset to the right side of the action, to coincide w/ the rear sight, adjustable from 200 to 1500 meters. Receiver markings include the Japanese characters “Ju Ichi Nen Shiki” translating to “11th Year Type” above the serial number, “10522”on top, as well as “10.6” on right, indicating Showa Era year 10, 6th month translating to the manufacturing date of June, 1935 & the Kokura Arsenal manufacture symbol. Numbers matching the receiver on several visible parts. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Leather heat shield, photo copied operation manual in Japanese. CONDITION: Finish coverage on exposed metal surfaced is quite full. Light thinning on high spots &

a standard service rifle, production was licensed to Howa Machinery Co. in Japan where they began production in 1967.

Because military sales to U.S. were effected by AmericanJapanese treaty agreements that forbid Japan in selling to arms to “belligerent nations”, it was determined rifles could not be sold to the U.S. due to our involvement in Vietnam. In 1974 ArmaLite & Sterling Ltd. in England signed a production agreement to manufacture both the AR-18 (Select-Fire version) & the AR-180 (the semi-automatic commercial version) & started manufacturing rifles in 1975. This particular example was manufactured by ArmaLite Inc. of Costa Mesa, CA. as a transferable full automatic. Serial number located on lower receiver. It is a gas operated piston driven select fire rifle w/ a left side folding stock. Front sight is an elevation adjustable protected post. Rear sight is a windage adjustable dual aperture peep sight marked 200 & 400. The rifle is charged by a reciprocating handle on the right side of the rifle. Ambidextrous safety selector controls, black plastic furniture. Proper muzzle brake & the bayonet lug. Sling swivels front & rear. MAGS: 1 Aluminum 20 rd. w/ ArmaLite floorplate. CONDITION: typical thin finish on exposed metal surfaces w/ additional thinning in areas of moving parts. A few light finish scratches on receiver. Stock locks tightly in open & closed positions.

1022. EXTREMELY RARE FINNISH JATI SMG PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE (KEEPER). Cal.9mm. S# 4842. Bbl. 8”. The Jati-Matic SMG is a Finnish 9mm, open bolt gun designed by Jali Timari in the late 1970’s & first brought to the market in 1980. The concept was born during a malfunction w/ an earlier project, a self loading 22LR target pistol, that experienced a sear breakage due to improper tempering. After the breakage, it functioned as a fully automatic with noticeably manageable recoil & muzzle rise. Timari attributed the controllable muzzle rise to the upward angle of the bolt he was using, countering the recoil impulse, similar in design to the 1870’s Armstrong Cannon and other coastal artillery pieces. This principle lead to the design of the Jati-Matic SMG. It was manufactured in Finland at Tampereen Asepaja (TAP), a company previously specializing in sporterized military rifles, founded in the early 1920s. In the early 1980s, approximately 400 JatiMatic SMGs were manufactured but due to the strict Finnish export regulations it was never allowed to be a commercially viable project. Any of the very few that were imported into the United States prior to 1986 are extremely collectable and highly sought after. The Jati-Matic is a blowback operated, open bolt design. It wasn’t offered w/ a stock, meant to be used similar to a pistol, though best operated w/ both hands. The charging handle shares operation as a folding, vertical foregrip. Stamped metal rectangular receiver w/ plastic trigger group frame & mag-well. There is no traditional safety or selector. Though it is supposed to be select fire, utilizing a progressive trigger to determine the firing mode, the few examples this cataloger has handled have functioned as full auto only. The front sight is a protected post & the rear sight is a notch, factory calibrated at 100 meters. Charging the Jati-Matic is accomplished by folding the front grip downward and pulling strait to the rear. After returning it to the front, it is clicked into the firing position where it takes on the role of forward vertical foregrip. This example is sporting a Laser Products sight, dated 11-85, w/ corresponding pressure switch affixed w/ Velcro to the left side pistol grip. Imported through Omni Ordnance in Dallas, Texas. MAGS: (2 total) 1 aluminum 40rd. & 1 aluminum 20 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Spare bolt. CONDITION: Very little sign of prior use. Finish is complete & consistent w/ some thinning in areas of mechanical intervention. Unable to verify laser function w/o battery present. Missing front sight post. Bright bore w/ strong rifling.

1023. ORIGINAL STEYR-DAIMLERPUCH A.G. MPi69 PRE 86 DEALER SAMPLE (KEEPER) SMG.

Bbl. 10”. Introduced in 1969, the MPi 69 SMG was developed by Steyr, designed Herr Stowasser in an effort to create a reliable gun without an expensive manufacturing process. It utilizes a stamped steel receiver w/ a plastic pistol grip & handguard and a cold forged barrel. It is an open bolt, blowback operated, select fire system that utilizes 2 different methods to determine operation; first, it has a cross slide safety that doubles as a selector. When pressed all the way in from the left to right, it is “safe” and can not fire in this position. When the safety is depressed all the way in from the right, through to the left, it is set to “Fire” and functions as fully automatic. If the operator desires to shoot only a single round, the trigger can be depressed only partially to the rear, where it will fire one round, returning to full auto capability by depressing the trigger fully to the rear. If only semiautomatic fire is desired, the safety can be pushed in from the right or the left, to the center position, where it will function only as a semiautomatic, regardless of how far the trigger is depressed. The charging mechanism is combined w/ the front sling attachment point. To charge the firearm the front of the sling is simply pulled to the rear. Upon the bolt being opened, the spring loaded sling swivel simply returns to the front. The shoulder stock is a 2 position, collapsible wire design that locks securely in both positions. Parkerized finish on exposed metal surfaces. Front sight is a protected post. Dual aperture rear peep sight. Green canvas sling. MAGS: 1 Steel 32 rd. CONDITION: original finish complete & consistent w/ little sign of actual use aside from some light thinning in areas of mechanical intervention. Numbers matching on visible numbered parts including frame, bolt & barrel nut. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

1026. FULLY TRANSFERABLE RPB M10A1 WITH LAGE MAX10/9 BARRELED UPPER RECEIVER.

9”. There are very few firearms that conjure up the imagination of the general public more than the mere mention of the MAC 10. The Ingram Model 10 was originally designed in 1964. It would become the 1st of many small simplistic SMGs to contrast the expensive & labor intensive earlier variants such as the Thompson & Reising M50. Ingram’s 2 basic guidelines while designing the Model 10 “simple & cheap” while remaining effective & reliable. Made famous mostly by Hollywood, the M10 had appearances on the silver screen & on television eventually earning the infamous title of “The Gun That Made The 80’s Roar” starting w/ John Wayne utilizing a suppressed 9mm M10 in the 1974 movie “McQ”. A favorite example used by the organized anti-gun movement, the Mac 10 was eventually, incorrectly & inaccurately synonymous w/ every crime committed for a long period of time. Here we have an Ingram variant manufactured in Marietta, GA. Chambered in 9mm. Protected post fixed front sight & rear peep sight that is integral w/ the receiver. Select fire, open bolt, blowback action. Selector on left side of receiver. Safety inside trigger guard. As well as having all the original parts, this example has been heavily upgraded w/ the addition of a Lage MAX-10/9 MKII upper receiver & Ace Limited, right side folding stock.

it into its extended position. The Uzi bbl. only appears to be a couple inches in length which greatly minimizes its signature for use in tight quarters, but because of the ingenious design it actually extends back inside of the bolt giving the operator over 10 inches of rifled bbl. to increase hit probability immensely. Its ratcheting top cover is an important safety factor when utilizing an open bolt mechanism. Those that are familiar w/ the 1911 family of firearms will appreciate the grip safety integrated into the mechanism. This particular example has black plastic furniture & a collapsible, folding shoulder stock. Bottom front mounted bayonet lug. Sling swivels on left side of receiver & stock.

The Uzi bbl. only appears to be a couple inches in length which greatly minimizes its signature for use in tight quarters, but because of the ingenious design, it actually extends back inside of the bolt giving the operator much more rifled bbl. to increase hit probability immensely. Its ratcheting top cover is an important safety factor when utilizing an open bolt mechanism. Those that are familiar w/ the 1911 family of firearms will appreciate the grip safety integrated into the mechanism. This particular example is the Mini-Uzi, & has black plastic furniture, bottom front mounted bayonet lug & sling swivels on left side of receiver & stock. Elevation adj. protected post front sight. Dual aperture rear sight. Left side markings “A-R-S” above safety/selector. Left rear receiver markings “MINI UZI / 9mm PAPA” & serial number. Receiver markings behind the pistol grip include “ACTION ARMS LTD. / PHILA PA / IMI ISRAEL / A00001”. CONDITION: Original finish coverage is complete & consistent w/ some thinning on high spots & in areas of mechanical intervention. Stock locks tightly in both positions. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE (KEEPER).

The Sterling SMG was originally developed by G.W. Patchett in the 1940s and originally named simply “The Patchett”. Several variations were tested & offered, including semiautomatic-only carbines, & numerous versions of the SMGs that were eventually adopted by New Zealand, Canada, India & the United Kingdom. This example was built by Douglas Oefinger on a DLO tube. It is often compared to the STEN, based on its tubular receiver & left-side horizontal magazine placement. One quickly identifiable feature is the black wrinkle-type finish they were offered with. The shoulder stock is a sleek, folding type that collapses & folds under the receiver tube, almost out of sight, & can be operated in both open & closed configurations. Magazines have a capacity of 34 rounds and a slight curvature, arching forward. They do have the ability to operate w/ some STEN & Lanchester magazines as well. The operating mechanism is a select-fire, open bolt, blowback operated design. There is a safety / selector on the left side, above the pistol grip. Protected post front sight w/ dual aperture rear peep sight located at the rear of the receiver tube. It is serviced by removing the end cap at the rear of the receiver tube, where the recoil spring & bolt are removed to the rear. It currently sports a green canvas sling. MAGS: 7 Steel 34 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: owners manual, CD titled “Sterling SMG Technical Manual & Armorer’s Course” in green 30 caliber US ammo can. CONDITION: all aspects indicate very little use.

10”. Introduced in 1981, as an update to the Mpi69. The MPi69 SMG was developed by Steyr, designed Herr Stowasser in an effort to create a reliable gun without an expensive manufacturing process. It utilizes a stamped steel receiver w/ a plastic pistol grip & handguard and a cold forged barrel. It is an open bolt, blowback operated, select fire system that utilizes 2 different methods to determine operation; first, it has a cross slide safety that doubles as a selector. When pressed all the way in from the left to right, it is “safe” and can not fire in this position. When the safety is depressed all the way in from the right, through to the left, it is set to “Fire” and functions as fully automatic. If the operator desires to shoot only a single round, the trigger can be depressed only partially to the rear, where it will fire one round, returning to full auto capability by depressing the trigger fully to the rear. If only semiautomatic fire is desired, the safety can be pushed in from the right or the left, to the center position, where it will function only as a semiautomatic, regardless of how far the trigger is depressed. The charging mechanism of the MPi69 is combined w/ the front sling attachment point. To charge the firearm the front of the sling is simply pulled to the rear. Upon the bolt being opened, the spring loaded sling swivel simply returns to the front. The MPi81 utilizes a traditional charging handle & relocated the front sling swivel in front of the barrel nut. The MPi81 shoulder stock is a 4 position, collapsible wire design that locks securely in all positions. Parkerized finish on exposed metal surfaces. Front sight is a protected post. Dual aperture rear peep sight. Imported through Gun South Inc., Birmingham, AL. MAGS: 1 Steel 32 rd.

An instantly recognizable Cold War era assault rifle, the FAMAS remains iconic for its unique appearance, as well as its long service life with the French military. This example, is 1 of only an estimated 250 (Source: Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles, 1866-2016, by Ian McCollum) MAS 223 “FAMAS” semi-automatic rifles to be mfg. by St. Etienne and imported into the United States prior to the U.S. Assault Weapons Ban, and is marked “MANUFACTURE NATIONALE D’ARMES/ DE SAINT ETIENNE/ MADE IN FRANCE” above Century Arms’ importer information on the left side of the receiver, with “MAS .223” above the S# “SA 00081B” marked on the right.

1037. HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, “G SERIES” FN FAL RIFLE. Cal. 7.62x51. S# G3117. Bbl. 24” over factory flash hider. The G series FAL is probably the most coveted of this family of firearms. Imported by Browning Arms Company of Arnold, MO from 1959 to 1963. Shortly after importation began from Belgium, it was determined that the relief cut in the receiver allowed these guns to be too easily restored to full auto function & the rules for future imports were changed after only 1,836 such rifles were brought in. The number of available examples today is even rarer because an unknown number of them were converted to & registered as machine guns. Green plastic handguard. Hardwood stock w/ metal buttplate. Black plastic pistol grip, numbered to receiver. Adjustable gas system. Adjustable, protected post front sight. Elevation adjustable rear peep sight marked from 200 meters to 600 meters.

1038. SCARCE & HIGHLY DESIRABLE 1966 DATED HK MODEL 41 RIFLE. Cal. 7.62 NATO. S# 10B889. Bbl.19” over flash hider. A rifle considered the Holy Grail by some H&K rifle collectors is the extremely early HK 41, manufactured in May of 1966 and imported by Golden State Arms Corporation in California. These early guns were closer related to their fully automatic G3 counterparts than those that would eventually be designated the HK91 and rise to enormous popularity. One of the most recognizable differences lies in the area of the trigger group on the left side where the manufacturers markings are colored bright white, in heavy contrast to the matte black finish of the remainder of the rifle. It is marked; “MADE IN GERMANY FOR / SANTA FE DIVISION / GOLDEN STSTE

ARMS CORPORATION /

PASADENA-CALIFORNIA-U.S.A. / CAL. 7.62MM NATO”. Beside it, on the mag well is marked; “HK 41 10B889 / 5/66”. A sharp eye will notice even more important features in this same area including the original paddle magazine release & the original front takedown pin hole above the paddle mag release. Subsequent shipments would later have this hole filled in and the paddle mag release replaced w/ a push button mag release on the right side of the receiver. Matte black finish on all exposed surfaces. Threaded barrel terminated w/ factory flash hider Hooded post front sight. Left side non-reciprocating charging handle.

1039. VERY RARE & DESIRABLE ORIGINAL SWISS PE57 RIFLE IN IN FACTORY PACKAGING. Cal. 7.5 Swiss. S# 3337. Bbl. 24”. The SIG PE57 is the semiautomatic version of the Stgw57 machine gun. These were very expensive when imports started in the 1960s-1970s, and combined w/ a caliber not common in the United States, there were only a limited number imported, leading to their scarcity today. Left side receiver markings include; “SIGARMS, INC / TYSONS CORNER - VA / MADE IN SWITZERLAND”. w/ serial number. The operating system consists of a closed-bolt, delayed blowback mechanism utilizing twin locking rollers. It is charged by utilizing a nonreciprocating op-rod, w/ a beer-keg shaped charging handle, protruding from the right side. The safety / selector is located on the left side of the receiver w/ a clever, folding winter trigger mechanism located on the right side, parallel w/ the magazine well. Matte black finish on all exposed metal parts. Folding, protected blade front sight. Folding, elevation micro-adjustable rear peep sight more resembles a target / match rifle than a battle rifle.

Folding carry handle rests on left side of receiver. MAGS: 1 steel 24 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Original foam packaging & cleaning kit. CONDITION: All aspects lead to the impression it was used very little, if at all, which was not uncommon due to the scarcity of ammunition. No noticeable imperfections. Matching numbers on receiver, rear trunnion, front trunnion & barrel jacket. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (24-536/JZ). CURIO. $10,000-15,000.

1040. RARE & DESIRABLE SIG AMT RIFLE. Cal. 7.62x51. S# 15939. Bbl. 20”. The SIG AMT (American Match Target) is a semiautomatic variant of the SIG Model 510-4, machine gun, one of 1440 imported into the United States between 1969-1978. This particular example was imported by Benet Arms of San Fransisco, California. Similar in legal history to the “G” Series” FAL, in 1969, a very small number of 510-4 semiautomatic rifles were built on machine gun receivers and finished w/ semiautomatic parts before being imported into the United States. The BATFE approved their importation, so they do not fall under NFA restrictions, but future imports were built on semiautomatic specific receivers & modified for USA “Sporting Purpose” criteria by turning down the grenade rings on the barrel & eliminating the bayonet lug. In the 1970s these rifles were priced far more expensive than comparable rifles, & the low import numbers combined w/ the high original price has made these some of the rarest & most desirable military-style offerings in the United States. The operating system consists of a closed-bolt, delayed blowback mechanism utilizing twin locking rollers. It is charged by utilizing a non-reciprocating op-rod, w/ a beer-keg shaped charging handle, protruding from the right side. The safety / selector is located on the left side of the receiver w/ a clever, folding winter trigger mechanism located on the right side, parallel w/ the magazine well. Matte black finish on all exposed metal parts. Protected post front sight. Elevation adjustable rear peep sight graduated from 100 to 600 meters. This example sports a rare factory scope mount complete w/ 1.25-4x20, Schmidt & Bender scope w/ duplex reticle. Folding bipod mounted just rear of front sight block rotates for storage above the 8” ventilated barrel shroud, out of the way, not interfering w/ operation. Folding carry handle rests on left side of receiver. Beautiful hardwood 6” forend w/ matching wood shoulder stock. Left side sling swivels, currently sporting black leather sling. MAGS: 1 steel 20 rd. CONDITION: Finish complete & consistent w/ only light thinning in areas of mechanical intervention.

1063. EXTREMELY RARE PRE BAN SIG ARMS 551-2 SP SWAT FACTORY PRE 86 DEALER SAMPLE (KEEPER) SHORT BARRELED RIFLE. Cal.5.56 NATO. S# 410218. Bbl. 14.25”. The popular Sig Sauer model 551A1 Rifle is an American manufactured civilian version of the SG 551 used by the Swiss Army. It utilizes an adjustable gas piston w/ a 2-position adjustable gas valve and a rotating bolt system. 16” barrel, w/ 4 grooves and 1:7 rifling, terminated w/ SIG 550 series flash hider. This example is an early original pre-ban SG 551-2 SP SWAT Short Barreled Rifle. These are exceptionally rare as less than 50 total SG551-2 rifles were ever imported, far less being original, factory Short Barreled Rifles. It even has the selector block on the left side, preventing the selector from being moved into the “full auto” position”. This is not a commercial or “look alike”, but the real deal. Right-side folding stock that locks in both open and closed positions. Right side reciprocating charging handle. Sig added a rubber insert to the rear portion of the charging slot as a gasket to keep debris from entering the path of the bolt & fire control group. It employs an ambidextrous safety / selector w/ a left side bolt hold open lever above the trigger guard. The upper & lower receivers are finished in a factory grey hard coat anodized finish.

CONDITION: Externally, the finish coverage is complete & consistent w/ very little sign of use. The bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Unfortunately, it may not have been stored in optimum conditions as the butt bad and cocking handle rubber covers have succumb to the elements in the form of missing plastic. The top & bottom inch of the rubber recoil pad are missing, feeling soft, almost melted, and the same for the rubber charging handle cover. With the replacement of these 2 small parts, the gun would be better than overall excellent. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PRE-86 DEALER SAMPLE (KEEPER).

1076. FINNISH LAHTI MODEL 39, 20MM ANTI-TANK RIFLE WITH AMMO & TRANSIT CHEST. Cal. 20mm. S# 1731. Bbl. 55”. Originally derived from the earlier Lahti aircraft cannon of 1937 & modified as a ground weapon. Aside from the sheer size, one of the most recognizable features is the skiequipped bipod. Another interesting and recognizable feature is the 26” ventilated, wooden barrel shroud. The Lahti Model 39 is a gas operated, self-loading design. The recoil spring is so massive that it would be impossible to retract in a strait line, like a traditional rifle, so it was designed w/ a crank mechanism to charge it. It takes 2 complete, clockwise revolutions to fully retract the bolt & operating spring, but it is done w/ ease due to the mechanical advantage. When the operator is ready to fire it, a lever on the front of the pistol grip is depressed, dropping the bolt & chambering the round to be fired. Upon firing, the empty casing would be violently discharged from below the gun, making contact w/ a hard rubber roller mounted in front of the the trigger guard before hitting the ground. The bolt is returned to its rearward position, so the chamber can remain empty & start cooling before firing the next round. It is rumored that though these were designed to fire only a single shot per function of the trigger, it wasn’t uncommon for a malfunction to operate as a fully automatic, surprising the shooter w/ a burst of fire. Though these guns were a little late for the Winter War of 1939/40, a few were said to have been deployed though there seems to be no official record of their performance. Ski style bipod has 2 positions, the other w/ stakes to grip the ground when deployed on a harder surface than snow. The overall length is 86” w/ 55” of it being barrel alone. Threaded muzzle, sporting the factory 10 chamber muzzle brake measuring over 5” in length itself. It includes the original steel muzzle brake cover that snaps in place to help keep debris out of the barrel. The sights consist of a protected post front blade and the rear sights are a tangent sight , elevation adjustable from 200 meters to 1400 meters. The enormous mag-well is located on top of the action and feeds down, w/ the ejection port below the action in front of the trigger guard. (It is VERY important to NEVER have a body part in the way of the ejection path due to the size & velocity of the empty casings being ejected). When not being fed ammo, the mag-well has a dust cover that locks closed w/ the mag release to keep the action free from debris. All exposed metal surfaces have a nice deep blued finish. Many small parts match the serial number on the receiver though the barrel has a different number which isn’t uncommon. Manufactured at the Finnish State Rifle Factory “VKT”, it is marked “20pst.kiv/39” with “SA” marking above SN on left side of receiver. Barrel is “VKT” marked and numbered 1755. MAGS: 10 steel factory 10 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Original transit chest w/ 4 magazine boxes, holding 2 magazines each, 1 spare parts box & 1 shooters box, each containing the vast majority of their original parts & tools. 2 wooden mag loaders, 2 owners manuals translated to English, a copy of the book “Know your AntiTank Rifles by E.J. Hoffschmidt, & over 90 rounds of loaded ammunition in individual cardboard sleeves. CONDITION: Blued finish on metal surfaces remains complete & consistent w/ full coverage. Wooden barrel shroud remains in nice shape and has a few small cracks that appear only to be aesthetic without affecting structural integrity. Wood stock piece has typical impressions but overall in very nice condition. Rubber recoil pad free of any noticeable deterioration. Transit chest shows some typical age but remains strong & functional. Magazines still retain factory finish, some w/ a little external patina but should clean up nicely. Ammo demonstrates some corrosion & staining spanning from very light to heavier. Bright bore w/ aggressive rifling. Fire control mechanism functions smoothly & appears to operate correctly when cycled by hand. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION.

1083. BROWNING MACHINE GUN 1919 DOUBLE SIZE CLASSROOM TRAINING MODEL WITH AMMO. An enormous military classroom training, cutaway version of the iconic Browning M1919 A6. This classroom model of the Browning machine gun, cal. 30 is a true to scale, 2X enlarged reproduction of the actual weapon. Partially segmented in order to gain visual access to internal parts which are revealed in their portion of the cycle of operation. The sheer enormity of this display is difficult to fathom from only a written or verbal description and must be seen in person to be appreciated. From the rear pistol grip to the muzzle booster, it measures almost 80” in length. The entire internal fire control group is completely functional in order to assist students in understanding this complex feed system. Double size plastic rds. are fed from a cloth belt, though this particular example has no belt, but enlarged links, for an almost unobstructed view of the symphony of moving parts happening within the receiver. In a complete unit, with a single stroke of the charging handle the belt is pulled into the receiver w/ a rd. extracted from the belt & inserted into the face of the bolt. The bolt closes & the rd. is chambered for firing & the belt advanced to the next position. As the charging handle returns to the rear to start the cycle over the fired round is extracted & ejected from the bottom of the receiver. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1 linked belt containing 15 functional dummy rds. CONDITION: every present part of this unique mechanism functions exactly like it should. All parts are fluid & every operation seems to be correct outside of the feeding function. There is a missing extractor / ejector. This cataloger has never seen one set up for use w/ links, but rather an enlarged section of cloth belt, so it may be relegated to a static display at this point. Areas that are open in order to view the mechanism are outlined in red paint & are still pronounced. (02-22278/ JZ). NON-GUN. $1,200-1,800.

Military M901 Tracked

Armored Vehicle

1090. MILITARY M901 TRACKED ARMORED VEHICLE. This majestic armored vehicle was once on display at the Alabama Center of Military History. After its period of utilization expired it was sold w/ a clean bill of sale & we have copies all related documentation. The M901 came into service in the United States in 1979, seeing significant use in both the Persian Gulf War and Iraq War. It’s design is based on the M113 Armored Personal Carrier chassis and designed to carry a dual M220 TOW Missile Launcher, nicknamed “The Hammerhead” due to the aesthetics of the unique turret. Operated with a crew of 4 (squad leader, gunner, loader, driver) this 12 ton machine measures almost 16’ in length & just under 9’ wide with a height of almost 10’ w/ targeting head stowed. It has a range of 300 miles with a top speed of 38 mph. It is armored with 1.5” on the front and 1.75” on the sides. A primary asset of the M901 is its mobility. Its speed, range and power to weight ratio is equivalent to modern tracked vehicles and it is amphibious without special preparation. It can be transported with a full loadout by the C-130 Hercules, or the C-27 Spartan. Due to its upgraded suspension it can also be air-dropped, or rolled off directly into battle. The speed of the firing system, as well as its land speed, is also an asset. When it takes a firing position, it can raise up, acquire the target and engage within 20 seconds. The launcher must be lowered to reload, but can still accomplish that task, and be back to firing in only 40 seconds. It can also carry a 7.62mm GPMG, usually an M60 or M240, as defense against aircraft and personnel. The ammo loadout capacity is 10 TOW Missiles and 2,000 rounds of 7.62 NATO, not including that already loaded and ready. It is powered by a GM Diesel engine producing between 220 & 275 horsepower and able to maneuver on a 60% gradient & 30% side slope. Each side contains 5 road wheels, an idler and drive sprocket. CONDITION: exterior finish painted green, black and brown camoflauge. Tracks utilize rubber pads between lugs to minimize hard surface damage. Overall condition appears to be very good and runs well according to consigner. (02-19442/JZ). $75,000-85,000.

This unusual carbine which is marked at the rear of the receiver “WINCHESTER” / “TRADEMARK” / “A” has an accompanying notarized letter from the consigner which states in part: “The carbine, “A” and also a second one marked similarly with a “B” were given to my dad (David Crosby by his supervisor (Merton...?) at the ballistics lab in Winchester’s New Haven CT. plant.

Major General Sibley passed away on February 18, 1999 and the home subsequently sold. In 1999, Major General Sibley’s son, Frederick Sibley decided to move back to New Jersey and had no interest in retaining possession of his fathers pistol due to the overbearing New Jersey gun laws. Frederick gave the gun to me in 1999, where it’s been locked in a safe for over 25 years. Frederick told me that his father carried this pistol during WWII and during his time in the European Theater of Operations where he was heavily involved in the logistics planning of the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944. Alden Sibley was on General Eisenhower’s staff in France during D-Day. Between 1937 until 1938, Alden Sibley was the personal military aide at the White House, to President Frederick D. Roosevelt.

1265. EXCEEDINGLY RARE US M1915 GOLD AND SILVER MILITARY AVIATOR BADGE. This Military Aviator Badge of the WWI era is of a pattern made by the Rock Island Arsenal in 1915 and has a 14-karat gold bar at the top that reads “MILITARY AVIATOR”. Suspended from the bar is a silver in-flight eagle grasping two Signal Corps flags. The left flag has a gold-plated center surrounded by silver, and the right flag has a silver center surrounded by gold plating. The reverse has a T-bar pin with an interesting wire cage-type clasp designed by Rock Island Arsenal. The Military Aviator Badge of the WWI era was originally issued to 24 officers of the fledgling Army Air Corps. According to world-renowned expert, the late J. Duncan Campbell, author of the book “Aviation Badges and Insignia of the United States Army 1913-1946”, this badge is a 1915 variation produced by Rock Island Arsenal with revisions made to the original design, likely for ease of manufacturing. The original 1913 variation is made with inlaid silver sections on the Signal Corps flags. The 1915 variation utilizes gold plating on a silver eagle. The badge was produced as a pattern, making it difficult to establish the exact number originally made. However, it must be considered rare, if not rarer, than the 1913 variation. Early “MILITARY AVIATOR” badges seldom come to market, and the 1915 variation should be considered the rarest of the rare. This may be a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to add an unparalleled piece of aviation history to your collection. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: included with this badge is a copy of the original work order from Rock Island Arsenal, dated Nov. 16, 1915, authorizing the production of this badge with revisions. There is even a sketch at the top of the unique clasp design for this badge by Rock Island Arsenal. Email communications between the consignor and the Command Historian of the Rock Island Arsenal concerning this exact badge. CONDITION: badge shows light wear with tarnish to the silver parts of the eagle, and flags are not covered with gold plating. (02-20191/BF). $18,000-25,000.

These Combat Infantry Badges in gold are so rare that they are nearly never seen on the collector’s market. The miniature Combat Infantry Badges are just as rare as the larger versions. The miniatures were to be worn with formal dinner attire. The first four awards were in silver, and the gold badge was authorized by Army Regulation 672-5-1 in 1963 to represent the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th awards. Although authorized, no gold award has been officially issued to a soldier. The silver CIBs with two stars for the third award has only been issued 325 times, and no soldier has ever earned the silver badge with three stars. The design for the gold badges was approved on the 11 October 1963. L.G. Balfour was awarded the contract to produce the badges on 15 May 1964. 12 samples of each of the large badges and 12 samples of each of the miniature badges were produced by Balfour and sent to the Institute of Heraldry. The badge received final approval by Lt. Col. Steve G. Davis, Commanding Officer of the Institute of Heraldry, on 10 May 1965. The badges are sterling silver with 1/10 10K gold plating. The background of the musket panel is blue Duco. The reverse on the 5th, 6th, and 7th awards is marked “BALFOUR 1/10 10K GF” for one tenth ten karat gold-filled.

Rare and unusual Inglis High Power pistol with the “DP” prefix. Pistol appears similar to Chinese contract pistols, with an adjustable rear sight and slotted backstrap. The meaning of the “DP” prefix is unknown. Traditionally, “DP” means drill purpose on Commonwealth arms, but this marking was usually applied by an armorer rather than the factory after the arm was well-used. In addition, the pistol appears to be made of standard Inglis components. It is possible the “DP” prefix means “Demonstration Pistol”. Some of the known “DP” pistols lack Canadian acceptance stamps, but this example does have them present. The highest known serial is DP203, and the most surviving examples reside in museums, with only two known examples in private US collections per Mr. Law’s book.

with protective hood. Receiver is marked on left side in block letters “MAS MLE1936 C.R.39” and S#. These rifles were designed prior to WWII to arm the newly established Parachute Infantry Corp. They were also used to arm Alpine troops to a limited degree. The rifles were designated “MAS 36 CR39”. The CR stands for “Crosse Rapliable” meaning folding stock. Approximately 33,800 of these rifles were produced between 1939 and 1960. The buttstocks of these rifles are hinged to fold vertically with the hollow cast aluminum stock fitting closely under the forend. Coupled with a shortened barrel this made the over all length of the weapon a mere 24 5/8” (when folded) which was much handier during a parachute jump. The first rifles were issued without slings however the need was felt for slings and the rifles were given a unique spring loaded spool in the buttstock to keep the sling tensioned and out of the way. The barrel band was modified to position the sling attachment at the bottom which ensured correct functioning. The original slings were web but were changed to leather which was found to be more durable. This sling spool works well but is easily broken and is inoperable on many rifles. The cast aluminum stock assembly has casting marks and coarse machine marks and was likely left this way for a better grip. This example was produced in 1952 and utilizes the block lettering introduced at approximately S#28000. The buttstock however has the as cast aluminum finish and does not have the later green rubberized coating. This rifle has the post WWII stamped nosecap with protective hood. The stacking bar is present. The bayonets were shortened to approximately 11 1/4” blade, 15” overall. Hardwood forend and handguard. Handguard has transverse, doweled reinforcements.

Bore is shiny with moderately worn lands with a hint of frosting in the grooves. (24-638/RW). CURIO. $4,500-7,000.

Rifle is also equipped w/ APX L806 scope w/ post reticle & good optics. The MAS-49/56 MSE was adopted by the French in 1968 using both newly made & reconditioned rifles. The rifles were made for competition, as the French took all prizes in NATO rifle competitions using their bolt action FR F1 sniper rifles. The US complained that the FR FR1 was a sporting rifle & not a service rifle & thus the MSE rifle was born. 3000 MSE rifles were ordered but only 900 were made. The rifles were split between the French Army, Air Force, Gendarmerie & some were made for export. Right side of receiver has added black Velcro patch.

1590A. EXTRAORDINARY RELIC FROM A JAPANESE NAKAJIMA AIRCRAFT SHOT DOWN AT PEARL HARBOR ON DECEMBER 7, 1941. This truly one of a kind relic is a painted and stenciled aluminum section from the side of a Nakajima-B5N2 AII-356 type 97 aircraft, serial #3178, that was shot down over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941 during the infamous Japanese attack. The Nakajima B5N2 was commonly called a “Kate” by US Naval forces. This plane was launched from the aircraft carrier Kaga during the first wave of the attack. Its torpedo was struck by a U.S. anti-aircraft fire, and the resulting explosion blew off the engine and decapitated the pilot. The plane crashed near the submarine pens just off the southeast tip of Kuahuna inlet/peninsula. The pilot was Lieutenant Mimori Suzuki, the navigator was CPO Tsuneki Morita, and the gunner was PO2 Yoshiharu Machimoto. The relic was recovered by Seaman 2nd Class, Jasper N. Parrilli, who was stationed at Pearl Harbor when the plane was recovered on March 28, 1942. Parrilli kept a detailed diary from January 1, 1942 through January 31, 1945. There is an entry in the diary for nearly every day detailing life in wartime Hawaii. On March 28, 1942, his entry states “Luke Field Duty-yesterday they dug out part of a Jap plane-wing section-got 2 soverniers from it-Wrote to Mom-sent her 4 pictures. Got 3 letters.” The original diary, with its plethora of historic entries, is included in this exceptional lot. The relic is included in an attractive shadowbox measuring 21 1/2” x 17 1/2”. Also included in the shadowbox is Parrilli’s photographic ID badge for “NAVAL AIR STATION-PEARL HARBOR”. There is also a large multicolored jacket patch depicting a black half tiger-half airplane with red wings carrying bombs and having machine gun barrels protruding from its wings. The patch is identified as VBF-98 Bombing Fighter Squadron and belonged to Parrilli. A small booklet is also included, titled “To Do Today IN HONOLULU and on OAHU.” Lastly, the frame includes professionally produced pages showing recovery of the aircraft, the pilot, and a group photo of the squadron to which the torpedo bomber belonged. It is an important historical note to state that this plane was one of the first two planes shot down, nearly simultaneously, at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Both of the aircraft were “Kates” from the same squadron based on the Kaga. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: a booklet of research on the naval service of Jasper N. Parrilli, the highlights of his naval service, and information on the recovery and identification of the Nakajima B5N2 with the names of its crew. CONDITION: the relic has clear black stenciling showing Japanese characters and the number “3178”. It was likely cut from a larger piece of aluminum belonging to the “Kate”.

1602. EXTREMELY RARE HUNGARIAN AMP69 GRENADE LAUNCHING RIFLE. Cal.7.62x39. S# SM00075. Bbl.16.3”. An incredibly rare AK configuration suitable for any collection. Extremely low numbers reported to have been imported into the United States. The AMP-69 is a modernized version of the AMD-65, designed in Hungary, between the late 1950 & early 1960s. The official designation was Automata Módosított Puskagránát 1969 (Automatic Modified for Rifle Grenade), or AMP-69 for short. They have the ability to launch an antitank, fragmentation antipersonnel or tear gas rifle grenade a maximum of 420 meters. Due to the violent recoil of launching a grenade, the AMP-69 was designed w/ several features to dampen it for the shooter including a widened front handguard utilizing two recoil-absorbing springs & a shock absorber that was integrated into the folding stock, that collapsed under spring tension during recoil. A softer rubber material was also utilized for the pistol grip to lessen felt recoil. It was built on an SA85M receiver by FEG in Hungary w/ no noticeable import marks. It has a special QD scope rail on the left, rear side to accommodate the grenade launching scope which is adjustable out to 450 meters. The rear sling swivel has been relocated in front of the scope mount so not to interfere w/ the grenade launching sight. The front sling swivel is located below the gas block, currently sporting a green canvas sling. Cleaning rod is retained through this sling swivel into the front handguard. They were originally shipped w/ a 6 round, blank-only restricted magazine so as not to inadvertently run ball ammo, leading to a catastrophic failure, since the grenades were not a pass through design or a bullet trap. When not launching grenades however, it is fully functional as a standard 7.62x39mm rifle. The gas block is fitted w/ a shut off valve to to stop the flow of gas to the firing mechanism while launching grenades. The stock can be folded to the right side by depressing a button at the rear of the pistol grip to unlock it from the extended position. The earlier guns have a light blue-grey color, such as this example, while later variations utilized an improved monomer polypropylene material that was either brown or black in color. Barrel is ported w/ slip-on cover that provides mounting tension for mounting rifle grenades. Dark black finish on all exterior metal surfaces. Receiver is marked; “SA 85M CAL 7.62X39 / SEMI AUTOMATIC / MADE IN HUNGARY” w/ FEG logo on left side. Scope mount numbered “707”. Top cover, bolt & bolt carrier numbered “KP0393”. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Woodland camo nylon carry case. CONDITION: Black finish complete & consistent w/ some thinning on high spots & areas of mechanical intervention. Forend & stock both reciprocate under tension as designed. Forend demonstrates what appears to be cosmetic stress fracturing at rear. Optic glass appears clear w/ sharp reticle. Bright bore w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

1610. ZASTAVA

M76 SNIPER RIFLE ON MILLED AWO RECEIVER. Cal. 8mm. S# 51104. Bbl. 22”. The original Zastava M76 rifle in the impressive 8mm chambering has always been a desirable offering. They first made their splash in the United States in 1986 w/ an initial order of 400 rifles, that would be in a configuration that today is known as pre-ban. It would be over a decade before imports would resume. In that period of time they had built a fairly strong following. It appeared that demand would finally be met when 2,000 more were approved for import & sold out in just over 10 days. In a disastrous turn of events the ATF declared every previously approved rifle to be a machine gun due to the oversight of the original mfg. installing a safety sear, which required a dreaded 3rd hole in the receiver. They were all recalled & every firearm was torch cut. This example is a beautiful M76 built on a gorgeous milled receiver by Assault Weapons of Ohio. The new receiver sports serial number 51104, matching the original parts kit including stock & bolt carrier. Left side scope rail on receiver, currently sporting the correct ZRAK scope w/ M76B reticle. Dark black finish on all exposed metal surfaces. Front sight base is integral w/ an M14 style flash hider & is protected post. Elevation adj. tangent rear sight graduated to 1000 yards. Sight radius just over 21”.

Beautiful blond wood w/ a red tint for forearm, pistol grip & shoulder stock. Sling swivels front & rear w/ green canvas sling. MAGS: 2 steel 10 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Canvas scope cover, black plastic carry case. CONDITION: All aspects indicate this rifle was very well maintained & cared for. At first glance it wasn’t clear it had been fired but close inspection demonstrates some ejecting brass contact upon extraction and a fine line on the receiver where the safety / selector makes contact. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

1624. DEMILLED RUSSIAN RPG7 ROCKET LAUNCHER WITH INERT ROCKET. Contrary to popular belief shoulder fire rocket launchers are not a new technology. Looking back to the 18th Century will reveal early flintlock designs modified to launch a makeshift grenade. More recently the military complex has refined their capabilities. The first RPG system the RPG-2 was simply a tube that launched a grenade. To the rear of the grenade was a launch charge that expelled the grenade with later versions utilizing a rocket that fired once it was out of range of the operator. The rocket was stabilized by 6 sheet metal fins placed at its rear. The effective range was a maximum of 150 meters and it utilized simple iron sights for aiming. The RPG-7 first hit the field in 1961. There are currently almost 30 variations of the RPG-7, most of them duplicate the Russian and Chinese variants. This particular example the RPG-7 was manufactured in Russia, bearing the Kovrov Plant arsenal mark (arrow in oval) on the trigger group. It is in a completely inert state at this time, non-firing and deactivated. The high-pressure chamber has a large hole drilled through it that is concealed beneath the brown heat shield to remain esthetically correct. It has also been properly demilled with the addition of a welded steel rod blocking the center of the chamber. Both pistol grips utilize brown plastic grip surfaces and the trigger group bears the following markings: “56-r-660” with the Kovrov Arsenal mark. The left side of the blast chamber has a scope mount where the correct optic for aiming is located. The nro-7B optic is complete with the battery cup, rubber eye piece, padded forehead rest & rubber objective cover. The pistol grips and heat shield are a matching reddish brown in color while the remainder of the tube is painted black. The trigger group retains its original natural aluminum finish. Folding iron sights are still present consisting of a crude protected post front sight with a rear sight graduated in adjustment from 200 to 500 meters. It currently sports a black nylon sling & both canvas / leather end covers are present. It is accompanied by an inert display rocket and cleaning rod. RPG-7 measures 37.5” in length with rockets measuring 36.5” long. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1 inert rocket, 1 RPG cleaning rod & woodland camoflauge carry case. CONDITION: this RPG-7 is in nicer condition than most. Grip panels and heat shield bear only light signs of handling upon close inspection.

This first Russian evolution, the RPG 1, utilized the simple launch tube of the Panzerfaust’s and employed a black powder propelling charge that w/ a very low muzzle velocity. It was never manufactured in high numbers. The first variation to see a large production effort was the RPG 2 which was introduced in the late 1940s to early 1950s. It utilized the same straight tube recoilless launch system, resembling the Panzerfaust 150 & was similar in performance to other systems of the time, such as the US “Bazooka” and the British “PIAT”. The RPG-2 was heavily used in & around the Viet Nam war. It was an important evolution in the constant balance between the capability of available armor, and systems designed to defeat it. Simple pop up sights. Rounded wood hand guards. Soviet markings on the trigger housing include arrow in circle arsenal & “56-r-660 / NoM 3419”.

1821. AUTHENTIC KALASHINIKOV JUNKER .177 AIR RIFLE Cal. .177. S# 00120051 Bbl. 6”. The “Junker” is an iconic Kalashnikov design that was originally designed as an interesting & appropriate gift for dignitaries visiting the Kalashnikov factory. The point of the exercise was to have an actual live firing souvenir without the rules & regulations that come w/ firearms ownership. The “Junker” is actually a Russian MP651K .177 caliber, Co2 pistol enveloped into an authentic Kalashnikov design, complete w/ a moving charging handle & detachable nonfunctional magazine. The number of those imported into the United States is often rumored to be under 500. From the surface it screams “authentic AK” from the removable flash hider, sights, furniture & even receiver markings. The disassembly is so similar to the original rifle that it is used in training older children in Russia. The top cover is removable w/ the bolt carrier assembly & recoil spring removed in typical fashion. Upon removing the top cover & extracting the charging handle, the removable MP651K pistol comes into sight, and this is where BBs / pellets are loaded. The Co2 cylinder is concealed inside the pistol grip. It has a black painted finish & boasts a protected post front sight, combined w/ a rear tangent sight marked from CQB to 1000 meters, just like the original. The safety / selector moves like the original, though it isn’t functional. The black plastic shoulder stock even retains the functional trap door. The visible, detachable magazine is an altered original magazine but for function purposes, the BBs are fed inside the action, under the top cover, into a slot in the top portion of the host pistol. It is used in conjunction w/ 8 shot cylinders, designed to feed either BBs or lead pellets, w/ a slight difference between them. Left side sling swivels w/ blue canvas sling. MAGS: 1 aesthetic (non-functional) 30 rd. & 2 8-shot .177 cylinders. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Pistol target sight, spare O-rings, cleaning kit & rod w/ owners manual. CONDITION: The only sign of use is some minute thinning between the traditional selector & receiver. These typically don’t see actual use due to the complicated loading procedure. This appears no different. PROVENANCE: From the Working Reference Collection of Military Arms Instructor, Master Sergeant Vincent Pestilli. (02-21771/JZ). NON-GUN. $500-700.
