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.

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.

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 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

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.

free standing post reticle. Manufactured in 1934 without action modifications other than Buehler low scope safety and sporter profile modification of bolt handle. Nice walnut stock set with fancy marbling in butt is by Lewis E. Straub (born 1906) of Mill Hall, PA (pop. approx. 1,700) having 9/21/46 date in barrel channel plus deeply stamped “STOCK BY L. E. STRAUB MILL HALL, PA”. Cross bolt for recoil lug plus Winchester style detachable swivel bases; eye secured by barrel band within tip area of forend plus Super Grade style 2 screw base at rear.

Grip cap appears to be of black hard rubber uniformly 3/16” thick and retained by 2 slotted head screws. Standard 1903 floor plate / trigger guard assembly without contouring or special floorplate release; standard (lightened) military 2 stage trigger. Supplied information by consignor states this is a Pachmayr custom, yet many aspects are not of that style. Pachmayr usually jeweled bolts and extractors, used finer checkering, did not use recoil bolt on such a mild caliber, usually modified trigger guard / floorplate, used adjustable triggers, not like likely to have semi-beavertail forend, often reshaped rear action tang and had a higher degree of overall quality.

UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: above mentioned book and summarization sheet by consignor. CONDITION: very good metal finish of about 90% with high edge wear and light handling scratches throughout to include scope body; some slight screw slot damage. Stock is very good to excellent with minimal light handling marks plus ring around front sling eye. Recoil pad is quite solid from age (no suppleness) with 2 small chips on left edge. Small “U” shaped crack behind action of about 3/4” in length plus 3/8” hairline crack in front of trigger guard assembly. When trigger is pulled to end of first stage, it becomes loose and doesn’t return to normal; likely due to lighter spring as final stage pull is great. Good candidate for a quality aftermarket trigger. Near excellent bore and optics. (24-778/NW). CURIO. $1,500-2,500.

found this old rifle listed for sale. In the second volume of his books, he relates the history of his buying this rifle and the research he undertook to tell its story. In chapter 3, he identifies, pictures, & describes this particular rifle and its history, from identification of the Whelen family crest found on the bbl. to Whelen’s picturing the rifle in his book “The American Rifle” (1918), as well as his 1922 Alberta hunt when the rifle was given to Whelen’s guide and friend, Stanley Clark. The rifle is based on a Springfield Armory 1903 action made in 1909, which saw little alteration. The original bbl. was recontoured, and the military rear sight was removed. Bbl. date “6-09” still remains. Whelen’s family crest is engraved at the top of the breech end. At one time, the rifle was drilled & tapped for scope blocks. The bottom of the bolt knob is flattened & checkered, and the right side of the action bridge is fitted with a prototype Lyman 48 receiver sight with the bottom of the long slide graduated to “30” and marked “Patent Pending”. Sight appears to be mostly hand finished and is stamped “4” on the inside of the slide. Petrov relates that “it is believed that no more than 6 of these were made. One went to Crossman, and one went to Whelen. With their input, the final sight as we know it today was built.” Magazine follower remains unaltered. Trigger blade is checkered, and the trigger is still double-pull, but the second pull is light, crisp, & clean. Bottom metal is plain & unaltered from the standard issue. As described & pictured by Whelen, the rifle originally had the bottom metal heavily engraved, and this engraving included the insignia of the Campfire Club of America. Petrov speculates that the bottom metal was removed by Whelen around 1922 when he gave the rifle to Stanley Clark during a hunting expedition in Alberta, Canada (Petrov also relates that the rifle was sent to him from northern Alberta). The pistol grip stock is made of dense European walnut, with a stump figure and a bit of marbling. Trap steel buttplate is serrated. The right-hand cheekpiece is of the style that would later become synonymous with Whelen’s name. Checkering is of a semi-fancy pattern. The steel gripcap gives an idea of the extent of the engraving found on the original bottom metal with its geomtric bands. The stock itself is known to have been made by Ludwig Wundhammer (1853–1919), who was one of the earliest makers of custom bolt-action rifle stocks in America. It exhibits his early style with Germanic sidepanels and a small schnabled tip. His shop was in Los Angeles, California, and in his working time, he produced perhaps a couple hundred very fine sporting rifles. Today, his rifles are highly regarded and eagerly sought after. CONDITION: fair to good, metal parts retaining about 20% custom blue, considerably silvered in action area and bottom metal from hand wear. Stock also shows considerable use and a possible old light refinish with sharp edges that are a bit rounded; the checkering is considerably worn & dirty and has not been recut. There is a 4” crack on the left side of the action area running from the bolt stop down and forward through the side panel, with another light 2” crack running around the center of the side panel down towards the trigger. Bore is still good, shiny with light frosting throughout and considerable throat erosion. Mechanically good. PROVENANCE: Collection of Michael Petrov - Amoskeag Auction #104. (22-2223/MGM). CURIO. $5,000-12,000.

2197. A GUN WRITERS PROJECT: CUSTOM DOUBLE RIFLE BY GARY STILES MADE FOR JIM FENDER IN .450 ASSEGAI ON A MODEL 21 ACTION WITH ORIGINAL BARRELS, AMMO, CASES, BULLETS, SPARE PARTS, BOOKS, CASE AND DRAFT OF STORY OF THE BUILDING OF THIS RIFLE AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF GARY STILES. Cal. .450 Assegai 12 Ga., 2-3/4”. S# 13709. Interesting magazine articles do not come easily, they often take years of development and considerable work, many never come to fruition, as is the case with the story of this rifle. Jim Fender is a fine gun writer noted for his contributions to the Double Gun Journal and other publications over the years. He is also the author of a historical Naval fiction series featuring the character Geoffrey Frost during the Revolutionary War. He is known for his in depth research and precise attention to detail. This rifle originated as a collaboration between Jim, Gary Stiles and Arthur Alphin of A-Square. Gary made a pair of double rifle barrels to be fitted to Jim’s Model 21 Winchester, while preserving the original 12 Ga. barrels. The caliber was selected for use on dangerous game. As described in “ANY SHOT YOU WANT” the A-Square loading manual; the .450 Assegai was made to deliver a 500 grain 45 caliber bullet at the “magic” velocity of 2400 feet per second in a rimmed cartridge suitable for double rifles. The case was made by A-Square and designed for low pressures and easy extraction. A-Square used their .416 rimmed cartridge as a base. Gary used another set of Model 21 barrels as a mono bloc to assemble these barrels with quarter rib holding single standing leaf three green dot rear sight. Muzzle is fitted with Stiles design regulating block and gold bead in ramp base. These barrels measure 25” and are stamped with caliber and S# 13709.1 on flats. Barrel lump is reattached and splinter is reinforced. A sling eye is screwed to a spacing block. Barrels are not fitted with a bottom rib. Blued standard Model 21 Winchester action marked “SKEET” on floorplate has firing pins bushed to handle the increased pressures of the rifle cartridge. Gary also made new buttstock and beavertail forends using a very fine piece of smokey marbled European (probably French) walnut. Buttstock measures 15” over black leather covered pad. Well cut point pattern checkering is at grip. A steel grip cap is fitted. Matching beavertail forends have Model 21 style checkering. Original 12 Ga. barrels marked for skeet and skeet are fitted with unbraced beavertail forend. MEASUREMENTS: RIFLE BBLS: STOCK : DAH: approx. 2 3/4”. DAC: approx. 1 7/8” CAST: neutral. LOP: 15”.

Stiles The Most Talented Gunsmith I Have Ever Known” by James E. Fender outlining Gary’s early life, his career and his affiliation with Jim. Article also relates that Jim used this rifle in South Africa in 2019 for cropping Cape buffalo and giraffe made necessary by prolonged drought. The rifle performed as expected. CONDITION: very fine as refurbished. Barrels still “in the white” as Gary died before they could be finish polished and blued.

Jinks, Historian, detailing the following information, “I have examined the K-38 Masterpiece serial number K 221755 that you sent to me. In my opinion I believe the engraving on this revolver is the very early work of Russell J. Smith. The style of the engraving show the heavy influence of Harry Jarvis who was the master engraver at S*W when Russ Smith began his employment with the company. The revolver is completed in the traditional Smith & Wesson Class B coverage. The development of the engraving coverages of A, B and C were incorporated by Harry Jarvis. While he was with the firm he insisted that the patterns be followed closely. Russ Smith adhered to his style of engraving durning his first few years with the company. This revolver is one of the handguns engraved in the Harry Jarvis style by Russ. It was engraved in the later part of 1954 and completed in the winter of 1955. The records indicate that it was shipped on February 1, 1956 to H.H. Harris Co., Chicago,III.. It was one of several engraved revolvers in the shipment. The invoice, number 951, list the revolver as Class B engraved, blue finish, Target Hammer, Rosewood Target Stocks and standard Patridge front sight. The interesting fact is that the companion revolver to this is your k-38 serial number K 233625 which was engraved in the Class A style and was part of the original set. It is my opinion that there is a third gun shipped with this set which was completed as a Class C engraved model. I have enjoyed looking at this pair of revolvers and glad to see them back together. Yours truly, Roy G. Jinks, Historian.”. Both revolvers are housed in a Huey oaken & leather custom case S# 1354. Features include brass fittings & red suede fitted interior.

2544. DOCUMENTED RUGER TAKEDOWN MODEL 77 MARK II PROTOTYPE BOLT ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 30-06. S# 787-92199. Bbl. 20” of lightweight configuration without provision for sights having No. 1 style rib installed that allows for attachment of Ruger rings and a scout scope, much like the Frontier model. The top of barrel forward of the rib has standard “warning marks” and company address. The action is also machined for Ruger rings. The purpose of its barrel rib is to allow maximum potential accuracy by having a sighting system on the barrel rather than relying on the solidity of its barrel connection to receiver. Test fired September 27, 2000 (1989-2008 when replaced by Hawkeye model) and shipped to a Colorado FFL on March 9, 2011 as the result of a Ruger benefit auction conducted on Gunbroker. Ruger’s website lists 2011 as its shipping date with a Model number of 07826. The rifle was designed by the late Bill Atkinson per the request of Mr. Ruger who was fond of Savage Model 99 takedown rifles and an admirer of Arthur Savage in general. Per factory letter signed by Ruger CEO, Michael Fifer, the rifle was designed for compact transportation in limited spaces (such as by plane to remote hunting areas). The takedown procedure uses a detachment method of interrupted barrel threads with a latch system borrowed from the Ruger Red Label shotgun. When separated, the forend section with its black tip stays attached to the barrel assembly which is uncommon for takedown rifles. Due to the perceived potential for inaccuracy by the general public, Mr. Ruger canceled the concept as he deemed it would not be a commercial success. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: original invoice of 2011 plus above noted factory letter. White 50th year box with simplified label and marker notations on each end plus outer shipping box addressed to a Colorado FFL dealer. Ruger inventory control tag and manual. CONDITION: the rifle has a very slight amount of looseness where it latches, some light stock handling marks, buttpad is slightly proud of stock at heel, 2 small handling marks on right side of barrel at muzzle, typical small mark on forward end of floorplate, slight plum hue to receiver plus balance near excellent including bore.

This revolver along with two others engraved with Level I and Level II engraving were displayed by Ruger at main gun shows plus they were featured in the 2005 Ruger Catalogue. A revolver like this one (58-93125) is noted in the RENE Reference Guide but as KBNV (stainless designation) rather than BNV; all the levels of Roos engravings were blued revolvers.

Retained in the factory collection until sold through a Ruger auction to benefit Honored American Veterans Afield. The cost of the Level III engraving in 2005 was approximately $5,800. An unusual facet of the revolver is that it has a XRN-3 grip frame as used on the New Vaqueros; also marked with “W” and “D” plus numbered “126” as is the cylinder. Grips are simulated ivory with silver eagle medallions. Ruger’s website lists it as shipped 2011 with Model Number 00550; checking 58-93125 lists the same information but shipped 2005.
