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

1. DESCRIPTIONS: We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. Should the need arise, we will make verbal corrections and provide additional information at the time of sale. A correction to the printed material announced by the auctioneer during the auction takes precedence over printed descriptions. The printed catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value. Several examples: If we call a Colt a Winchester. Or if we state the firearm is in original finish and it has been re-blued. Percent estimate of finish is an opinion and may vary from individual to individual, so this would not qualify. Not every item included in this auction has been completely disassembled to verify internal component’s origins. However, if we have made the statement that the item is “all matching” or “internal numbers match”, we guarantee that this information is accurate. If an item’s description does not list the status of the internal components, we do not guarantee that they are original, matching or that they are period. If you would like additional information concerning internal components of a firearm that does not mention the internal components in the description, please contact us at 207-453-2114 and our consultants will be happy to assist you at their earliest availability.
This limited guarantee is limited to what you paid for the item from us and not what you expect to get if you had sold it.
Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves on the age, authenticity, condition, description and value of each lot before bidding. This includes all bidders whether they be here at the live auction, absentee, phone or internet bidders.
1A. FOR PURCHASERS WHO HAVE ITEMS SHIPPED TO THEM: Should there be a major discrepancy as listed in Item 1 above, a refund may be arranged and the buyer would need to make arrangements for the return within 30 business days of the auction date. as consignor’s payments are sent out on the 35th business day after the auction. ANY REQUESTS MADE FOR A REFUND AFTER 30 BUSINESS DAYS OF THE AUCTION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. Please pay promptly to ensure that you have time to inspect your purchases. If we do not have all of your payment, paperwork or credit card information for the items to be shipped by the 10th business day after the auction you could be jeopardizing your ability to qualify for a refund. Shipments can take 2-3 weeks from the time we receive the entirety of your required payment and paperwork to process and ship due to the volume of clientele that we are processing after the auction. We are not responsible for any liability with the descriptions if we have not received everything that we need to complete the transaction in time for the items to be shipped to you. NO PARTIAL REFUNDS.
1B. FOR LIVE BIDDERS: It is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. Also, please check to make sure all components to your lots are there. All possibility of a refund is null and void once you have left our facility with the item(s).
2. POULIN ANTIQUES & AUCTIONS, INC. WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOUR BIDDING EXPERIENCE AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE: Whether you are bidding live, absentee or by phone, we ask that before you bid in any manner that you satisfy all your questions, so that you may feel confident in placing your bids with us. All the items we offer have been pre-owned, loved, handled and used. Keeping this in mind, we suggest you call us with your inquiries. Please call prior to the first day of the auction, at least 48 hours or sooner, to get any questions and/or damage reports available on the items that interest you.

Auctioneer’s sale recording shall be conclusive as to who was the successful purchaser and the purchase price. If there is no apparent interest in an item (1/3 of catalog low estimate) or an appreciable opening bid, (when no catalog is printed), the item will be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and will not be re-offered again until possibly at a later date.
4. 5.5% SALES TAX must be charged to all successful bidders.

*We accept bids from International Countries, with the exception of sanctioned Countries.
*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.
*Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. shall not be held responsible for any failure to properly execute an absentee or phone bid whether it be due to equipment failure, lack of description on bid form, clerical error, loss of connection or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions, etc.
*Absentee and Phone bidders must review their bids for correctness prior to submitting their bid(s). 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.
*If you do not receive confirmation by email/phone within 24 hours of submitting your bids please, contact our office. We would hate to have you miss your items because we did not receive your bids.
*At times we may make a verbal correction from the block at the time of sale. In this case absentee bids left on an item will be considered void unless we can confer with the bidder prior to the item being sold.
*All absentee and phone bids must be accompanied by a credit card in order to secure bids.
*Invoices will be emailed out within 24 hours of the end of the final auction day.

By placing absentee bids, phone bids, internet bids or registering for live bidding in person, you are authorizing Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. to charge the card provided
for any purchases made and any fees that are associated with the purchase including but not limited to shipping, handling, insurance & storage. 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.
*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.
*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.
*Phone bidding is allowed, when available, only under pre-arranged conditions determined by and discussed with the auctioneer prior to the auction.
*All requests for phone bidding should be made before 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone schedule.
*After this point we will only accept absentee bids.
*All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder.
*We reserve the right to reject bids on items that we feel may be too difficult to explain by phone.
*To be a Phone Bidder you must be willing to start an item for 1/2 of the low catalog estimate or $100.00, whichever is the greater.
*Please note: The employee calling you may be calling from a personal cell phone not belonging to Poulins. Because of this it may not show on your caller ID as Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. Please do not attempt to contact the telephone line that has contacted you for phone bidding services, they will not answer. If you have any questions during and after the auction, please contact 207-453-2114 to reach an office staff member.
*Also Please Note: Please call in advance (at least 48 hours) of the auction if you need conditions or descriptions of the items. Staff members who are calling to handle your phone bids will not be able to answer questions pertaining to condition or
description during the auction.
*The staff member that will be on the phone with you during the auction will be very busy concentrating on the current lot, so as not to miss your item that you are interested in. EMPLOYEES ARE DISCOURAGED FROM DISCUSSIONS DURING THIS TIME SO THAT THEY DO NOT MISS THE ITEM YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Any discussion that takes place can and has interfered with customers bidding in the past. Our employees will be polite and talk to you, but please keep in mind that this could cause them to lose track of your item and consequently miss your bid. We would not want that to happen, so we have asked our employees to keep all conversations extremely brief.
*If you would like to add another lot to your bidding, we will TRY to accommodate you but regrettably may not be able to because of other bids that are already arranged in our system and because of time constraints.
*Phone Bidding Procedure: An appointed staff member will confidentially bid for the Phone bidder. An employee will identify themselves to you and explain that the Phone bidding will commence when the live floor bidding starts to slow a bit. It is simply moving too quickly to ask for an amount when bids are flying. They will then tell you the amount the auctioneer is looking for. Please answer quickly, loudly & clearly either YES or NO. It can be difficult to hear over the auctioneer so speak loudly. Once done the employee should then Thank you for participating and explain that someone will be calling, emailing or mailing you an invoice after all the days of the auction is done. They will then exit fairly quickly unless you have another bid that will take place within the next 5 items. We apologize if the quick exit seems to insult you in any way, but the employee will be responsible for other phone calls and also will not know the answers to payment, shipping or who will be handling your other bids if any.
*Cover Me Bids: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another to get through to the client on the telephone. A “Cover Me Bid” is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.
*Stop Point Bids: A staff member will contact you within 3-5 items prior to the item that you are interested in bidding on. We ask that you consider a “Stop Point”. This is a designated amount you wish the staff member to bid up to on this item for you. Because of the noise level that occurs during an auction, this creates less confusion on the phones for us and our customers. Once they reach this “Stop Point” amount they will then query you for the next desired amount that the auctioneer is asking for. You can then bid higher or stop if you so desire
15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid.com, and iCollector. These are separate companies that are not owned by Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc.
*You must submit a credit card with them when signing up to bid. These card numbers are not supplied to us. You will have to contact our office if successful and submit your credit card information to us.
*These are bidding services that are provided by separate companies that host our auctions live. There is a 4% charge to use their services. This charge will be added to your invoice Buyers Premium.
*Review all lots that interest you at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Sometimes we find a “change” in condition or listing. We cannot notify each person individually, so what we do is remove the photo and place a statement “No bids accepted online. Please call office to place bids.”
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.

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. US 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.
18. PHONE INQUIRIES REGARDING YOUR SUCCESS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AUCTION MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ANSWER. We apologize, but a large volume of customers pick up merchandise on these days and all personnel are handling them.
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.
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.
The shipping cost is calculated at the time the package has been prepared so we have accurate dimensions and weights. This includes the carrier shipping cost, handling and insurance. Insurance is required and provided through Poulin’s insurance carrier. If you have your own insurance or do not want insurance, you will need to fill out a Poulin Insurance Waiver and submit it. Please be aware if you do not utilize Poulin’s insurance and decide to self-insure, there is no compensation for any damage or loss.
*ASAP Orders: Are available on small quantities of 10 guns or less, however there is an additional charge of $50.00
*Hard Cases: There is a $20.00 charge for hard cases.
*Handling charges: Handguns are $8.00 per gun. Longarms are $15.00 per gun. Miscellaneous items and larger Class III items will vary depending on material used and time it takes to package. Labor rate is $30.00 an hour on these other items.
*Insurance Charges: A rate of $8 for the first $800 and 95 cents PER each $100.00 after $800. This covers the Hammer & Buyers Premium only. This does not include shipping, nor does it include what you expected to get for the item if resold.
*Shipping cost: Carrier cost plus all firearms (including antiques) are shipped with adult signature required. Any item(s) shipped with a value of $1000.00 and up is shipped with signature required.
*Boxes: $7.50 per box used in your shipment. No charge if it is a free box supplied by the carrier. (We do not carry all box sizes from these carriers, only generally sized ones).
*Multiple winning bids will be combined to save buyer money.
*We reserve the right to not ship an item if we feel that it is too fragile or bulky to be done safely. (i.e. Bronzes, frames, delicate and/or oversized items, etc.)
*Poulins will not pack or ship anything that consists of a frame with glass or mirror. We recommend using a company that specializes in handling these types of items, such as Sure Express or a similar company. Prior to the release of the items, it is required that a Poulin insurance waiver be signed by the customer and it would be understood that insurance on said shipment is the sole responsibility of the customer and or the specialized company they choose to handle their shipment.
*We are happy to assist you in your shipping needs. Please understand that we will try to expedite your shipment when requested, but we make no guarantee that it can be completed in such a time frame as you may request or in the manner that you may request.

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.

Donald Dean “Duck” Combs, born February 14, 1937 in Redding, was given the nickname “Duck” by a fun-loving uncle in reference to Donald Duck, who was introduced by Walt Disney in the same year. “Duck” grew up on farms in Rural Ringgold and Taylor counties, where he developed a love for the outdoors and sports. His passion for sports, hunting, fishing, bird-dogs, and appreciation for nature were encouraged by his family and remained with him throughout his life.
After graduating High School in 1955, where he excelled in baseball and basketball, he married Judy Stewart at Prescott, Iowa. Don and Judy worked together to earn college degrees from Northwest Missouri State University where he enjoyed playing semi-pro softball on Maryville, Missouri, teams.
Don started a 35-year teaching/coaching career at Prescott, Iowa. He taught American history and other social studies courses and taught many students to drive. He was a fierce competitor and coached like he played. The teams he coached were known for their excellent physical condition, hustle, competitive spirit, and “never-give-up” style of play. Don was inducted into the Iowa Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1992. Don loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his life. His passion was quail hunting with his English pointer and German shorthair dogs that he raised and trained. He hunted ducks many years with buddies from Missouri and enjoyed several fishing trips to Minnesota and Canada.
Starting in 1988, he and Judy purchased the first of three parcels of land in Davis County. They established many conservation practices, planted thousands of trees, reestablished prairie grasses, built ponds and restored two log cabins from the mid-1800s.
Don collected firearms and sporting collectibles his entire adult life. He specialized in Winchester Model 12 & Model 42 shotguns, however in recent years; he built a collection of Remington Model 12 rifles. Ever the competitor, he started creating displays and competing in gun shows. His displays included related accoutrements and advertising that he constantly searched to find. These displays won many awards at major gun shows throughout the country, including “Best of Show” five times with five different displays at the prestigious Colorado Trophy Show in Denver.
In 1990, he collaborated with Ned Schwing to publish the book
“The Model 42 Winchester”, which featured many of his 42s and has become a well-known reference for collectors. Duck was a life member of the National Rifle Association, longtime member of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, the Winchester Arms Collectors, the Remington Society of America, as well as several other associations. For many years he was active in Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, and Ducks Unlimited. He was a 61-year member of Circle Lodge Number 555, A.F. and A.M., in Prescott, Iowa.
“Duck” was a people person as he loved interacting with people of all ages whether he knew them or not. He gleaned information from “old-timers” and fellow collectors as he sought them out at gun shows and auctions. In recent years he enjoyed making new friends with members of the Amish community, who were a great source of strength in his final months.
Poulin’s is extremely proud to bring Don’s collection to the auction venue and be able to provide a fabulous opportunity for firearm enthusiasts & collectors to acquire one or more examples from this wonderful collection.
COLLECTION INDEX:
(Orville, 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 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.
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.
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.
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

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.
When Charles (Charlie) Wagner was 14 years old in 1953, he purchased a 25 cent raffle ticket at a school festival. That lucky ticket won for him his first gun, and as he proudly carried that rifle home, he knew that it was the beginning of a lifelong passion. A few months later he rode his bicycle (being still too young to drive a car) to a gun store so that he could spend his paycheck on a British Enfield pistol. He then pedaled back home with his new pistol and ammo in the basket on his bicycle. Two months later he had earned enough money to go back to the store for a K98 Mauser rifle which he carried under his arm as he biked back to his house. He proceeded to collect guns for almost 70 years, amassing world class collections of FN High Powers, Walther PPKs, Radoms, and Lugers. While handguns were his main focus, he also acquired excellent examples of many types of rifles and holsters. At the end of his life he had amassed over 500 guns and over 400 holsters. His children have kept some of his pieces as a part of his legacy but, given the enormity of the collection, they will be parting with some over the next few years so that other collectors can enjoy the pieces that meant so much to him.
For over 60 years he was a regular participant at gun shows all across the country and truly enjoyed spending time with others who shared his passion for firearms. He would be happy to know that many of his favorite pieces will find their way back into the collecting community.
Charlie didn’t just collect; he loved learning and researching about the history of his firearms. He relished becoming an expert on a topic and would gladly talk for hours with others who shared his passion. His drive to learn everything there is to know about his firearms pushed him to become one of the most knowledgeable people in the country on the FN High Power. He served as President of the Browning Collector’s Association, and attended gun shows all over the country with his FN High Power display (winning many awards such as 2001’s Best of Show at Kansas City’s National Summer Arms Show and 1st Place at the 2015 National Gun Day in Louisville, KY).
Poulin Auctions is extremely honored to bring a selection of Charles’ collection to the auction venue.
Jim’s love of collecting firearms began early. Over the years, this love became his passion.
His strong interest in Colt’s was one that propelled him to become part of the Colt Collector’s Club in Minnesota. Not only was he a member, he was President of the Northern Minnesota club for 8 years. He would have loved to have remained President, however, due to health issues, he had to resign.
Even though his most favorite gun to collect was 2nd Generation Colt Single Actions (nickel, of course), Jim was extremely interested in WWII Lugers including carbines. However, Jim also enjoyed pre-war firearms as you will see from the collection presented here.
Poulin Auctions is proud to bring Jim’s collection to the auction venue for all collectors to have the opportunity to add one or more of his pieces to their own collection.
Growing up in north central North Dakota, where you can see the Canadian and snow geese flying through the big blue skies, it was easy to become a hunting enthusiast. The small rural town of Mohall is where my childhood started in 1944. Looking out the back window to the north, you can see Canada and the magic of the Northern Lights.
Upon graduation from high school, (where I may or may not have graduated with honors… our class was so small, we honored each other). I bought my first Ruger with money I earned while working after school and weekends. In 1962, the Ruger 256 WIN MAG Hawkeye sold for $87.50. Over the past 60 plus years, I have collected Number 1 Ruger, 77 Ruger, Red Label and Gold Label shotguns and handguns. Additionally, I collected Winchester, Marlin, Savage and Remington guns. But, my all-time favorites will always be the Ruger.
Leaving Mohall, I attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the U of M with a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1969. I knew my draft number was up so instead of waiting for the mailman to tell me I was going be join the military, I enlisted
Dentistry is a profession I thoroughly enjoyed, but the outdoors was and still is my passion. I am an avid hunter, both waterfowl and small game, and an expert fly fisherman. I was often featured on a regional TV show with Tony Dean. During my dental career, I found great joy in organizing fly fishing seminars for the dental community. For twelve years, dentists would gather, fish, talk shop, and appreciate nature in all its glory in Canada. Throughout this journey, it’s always been about the people; the patients, the dentists, my family and the building of a camaraderie to experience nature. I worked with Game and Fish to establish a world class trout fishing experience in the Manitoba, Canada Parkland Region.
Hunting and fishing are my passions but hunting and fishing have double meanings in my life. The “hunt” for the next gun filled my days when the snow flew and the temperatures dipped across this great prairie and I was always “fishing” for the next good deal, looking for unique and unusual items to fill my collection.
in the Army in 1969 and served at Fort Huachuca and was shipped off to Vietnam. I have so many stories to tell about my days in Nam. It’s the people I met that are my lasting memories. In 1971, I finished my service and I moved to Bismarck, ND where I practiced dentistry for 50 years.
Octobers are spent at “duck camp” where my brothers and I gather in our hometown of Mohall to hunt upland birds and waterfowl. The remainder of the year, I travel between my homes in Bismarck and the Black Hills of South Dakota, where I enjoy fly fishing in the lakes and streams.
