In Loving Memory of Hall of Fame Auctioneer

Arthur & Lilla Julia

Consignments Being Accepted For Our Fall 2022 Premier Firearms Auction

Seller’s Commission on Expensive Items and Valuable Collections

consign now to take advantage of our aggressive marketing campaign

The Tradition Continues New Facility Same Family & Great Location

Former Auction Facility of World Renowned Hall of Fame Auctioneer James Julia We are pleased to announce the purchase of our neighboring auction facility. This acquisition will give us one of the largest firearms auction compounds in the industry with nearly 50,000 square feet of climate controlled and secured space dedicated to the promotion, presentation and efficient handling of fine firearms collections.

Our new facility features a spacious gallery and auction auditorium that was designed for an aesthetically pleasing presentation with modern, state-of-the-art auction amenities..

THE TRADITION CONTINUES...

The tradition continues….

Our company’s roots in honesty and integrity were planted nearly 70 years ago with the auction family’s founders, Arthur & 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 & 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 Arthur & Lilla Julia companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another Founders creating events that drew interest from across the globe. 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.

Jeannine & Stephen Poulin

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. Our buyer’s premium of 15% has not fluctuated despite the trends in the industry reaching a 20-25% base buyer’s premium.

Nick Poulin President

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 & team that has been instrumental in developing our business, & thank you to my mother & father for everything that you have done to get us to where we are today.

Sincerely, Nick Poulin

NOTES

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read 1.

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. Because 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.

WE AT 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.

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 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 sales tax certificate or an affidavit (proof of your business, such as business check or card, etc.). 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.

Terms & Conditions

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.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read 5.

BUYERS PREMIUM OF 17.5% will be applied to all property sold to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price and is therefore subject to applicable state sales tax. A 2.5% discount will be given to those paying by Cash, Wire Transfer, Bank check or pre-approved check.

5A. PROXIBID, INVALUABLE, AUCTION ZIP, ICOLLECTOR & LIVEAUCTIONEER BIDDERS: These are internet bidding services that are provided by separate companies that hosts our auctions live. They charge us a significant fee to upload to their platforms. They charge 3% to the buyer who utilizes their services. This amount is added into your Buyers Premium on your invoice.

6.

RESERVES: Occasionally an item may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore the auctioneer retains the right to bid on behalf of the owner. We will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you inquire.

Terms & Conditions

6A. AUCTION STAFF MAY BID COMPETITIVELY ON ITEM OFFERED FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. 7.

NAMES OF CONSIGNORS ARE CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL and will not be given out unless we have prior approval from the consignor to do so or if the auctioneer deems necessary.

8.

PAYMENT: All items are to be paid for in United States American Funds the day of the sale. We accept Cash, pre-approved checks, Visa, MC, American Express, Discover & wire transfers. All items must be paid for in full before being removed from our facility. All fees associated with the cost of a wire transfer or bank check are those of the purchaser. * Must have valid driver’s license when paying by charge cards & checks. * Checks are to be pre-approved by auctioneer prior to the auction (at least 2 business days before auction, NOT the day of the auction). A letter of reference from your bank is recommended to those who have never done business with us before. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by checks that have not been pre-approved until we can see that the check has cleared the bank. It is our policy to hold merchandise on all first time buyers, due to our bank’s recommendation of 10 days, until the check has cleared the bank. (This enables the check to clear the bank and if it does not, then it gives them the time to notify us via mail). * There will be a $25 fee charged for all returned checks. * Third party checks are not accepted.

Note: Delay in payment, means delay in shipment to you. Delay in shipment to you could mean you lose all possibility of a return, so please make a prompt payment. The speediest forms of payments are credit cards or bank checks. Personal or Business checks from first time buyers will hold the shipment up for 10 business days until checks have cleared the bank. This could jeopardize the warranties of the descriptions if the shipment exceeds 18 business days.

9.

OUT OF COUNTRY BUYERS:

9A. Payment must be in the form of either Wire transfers or Checks (made out in United States funds). Credit cards are only accepted for the shipping process. All fees associated with the use of a wire transfer are the responsibility of the purchaser. This includes the $25 fee that Poulin Antiques & Auctions, Inc. is charged by their bank for the international wire transfer.

9B. A payment by wire transfer or bank check qualifies the purchaser for a 2.5% deduction on their Buyers Premium.

9C. All firearms (this includes all antiques, curios or modern firearms), plus edged weapons and any item that has a portion of an animal (ivory, etc..) must go through either an exporter or another FFL dealer that supplies this service.

Terms & Conditions

* 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.

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.

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. * 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. * 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.

(207) 453-2114 | info@poulinauctions.com

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions Please Read * 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.

15. INTERNET BIDDING: Live internet bidding is available with Auctionzip.com, Invaluable.com, Proxibid.com, Liveauctioneers.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 included in 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, Live Auctioneers & 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.

Terms & Conditions

* 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.

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.

Terms & Conditions

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.

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.

NOTES

Thomas B. Harper Jr.

Tom Harper was a husband, father, schoolteacher, hunter and hunting dog trainer.

Most of his weekends were spent out in the fields of California, the prairie in Canada, and the gun clubs in Colorado. As he got older and less mobile, he turned his love of hunting to collecting guns. He even worked at a gun store for a time to be able to enjoy his hobby even in retirement.

Over the years he accumulated a quite diverse collection of guns. He became more interested with quality, artistry, design and engineering than just functionality. The guns in this collection reflect that.

They were chosen with careful thought and each one was special. These guns reflect his passion for the sport of hunting, shooting and fine guns.

Robert Craig Dowd Robert was born in Pennsylvania and grew up with a love of firearms beginning with his “Davey Crockett” carved wooden gun he acquired when he was just 3 years old. From early on his passion for firearms increased with a main focus on collecting the rare & unusual examples across several genres. Condition was very important as he acquired his collection and he took exceptional care with oiling each firearm & storing them in a climate controlled environment after each trip to the range.

Robert worked at Odin International as the Domestic Sales Mngr. and then with F.A.I.R. Trade (Firearms & Ammunition Import/ Export Rountable) as Executive Director importing firearms into the United States. After his time at F.A.I.R. Trade, Robert then made the move to Savage Firearms as the Director of Marketing. Robert spent his weekends with Izaak Walton, a firearms instructor, helping youth learn the importance of firearm safety and the enjoyment that firearms can bring. Robert had the foresight to know the importance of collecting ammunition amassing an extremely large selection of ammo for each of the calibers he collected.

Poulin’s is pleased to offer the following lots from Robert’s collection. We hope that you find the same enjoyment from his collection as he did.

Richard “Rick” Stumbo (1947 – 2021) Richard “Rick” Stumbo was born on June 14, 1947 and grew up in Ontario, Ohio. He was born to the late Frank and Betty Stumbo who owned and published the local newspaper, The Tribune Courier which is still being published 61 years later.

After high school, in 1966, Rick joined the Marine Corp however he was injured in Vietnam in 1967. He entered the police academy in 1968 and in 1969 he joined the DC Metropolitan Police Department.

After 21 years, Rick retired in 1990. His career continued, working security all over the world but mostly in Saudi Arabia and Algeria. Rick not only collected guns but he brought back relics and stamps from all over the world.

At the age of 11 Rick and his grandfather went to the local hardware store. It was there that Rick put his first rifle, a Stevens 22 caliber rifle, on layaway for the hefty price of $10. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of his collection and the passion that would grow from it for decades to come.

Rick amassed his collection for 62 years creating displays that one would consider museum worthy. His passion drove him to become a dealer, a VGCA member, and as an avid reader/historian he became an advanced collector of military weapons, helmets, uniforms and all types of militaria, which he loved the most.

When he wasn’t working on his collection in “The Bunker” or tending to his 21 acres he enjoyed the company of his family, friends and fellow retired police officers. Rick was reliable, dependable, responsible and the best story teller ever.

Poulin Antiques & Auctions is exceptionally proud to offer the lifelong collection of Richard “Rick” Stumbo. We hope the new owners of Rick’s lifelong collection enjoy them as much as he did.

Dennis Richard Ottaway Dennis Richard Ottaway became interested in history at the early age of five. His mother, Olive Ward-Ottaway, was curator of the Simcoe County Museum in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

The small museum was no more than a three room cement block building. One room in particular, The Militia of Simcoe and Grey Foresters, captured Dennis’ interest. He began reading history books from the children’s department of the local library and later graduated to the adult section.

Young Dennis listened eagerly to the war stories told to him by his grandfather, Joseph Ward. Lance Corporal Ward served in WWI with the 24th Battalion, Victoria Rifles. During WWII he was stationed with the home guard as a Bren gun instructor and was awarded Sergeant stripes. Olive bestowed upon her son, the war medals that her father, Joseph Ward, had earned in WWI and WWII. Joseph’s father, Frederick Ward, also enlisted to go overseas during the First World War. Dennis’ uncle, Wallace Pattenden, served in WWI at Vimy Ridge where he was wounded in action. He also had two other uncles who served during WWII. Private Larry Patterson, served with the Ottawa Glengarry Highlands. Private Arthur Bridges trained in the USA as a paratrooper. He served with the 1st Canadian paratrooper battalion and jumped with the 6th British Airbourne Division into Normandy. Arthur was captured and became a prisoner of war but returned home safely.

Dennis began to collect German military items in 1974. When he thought of the Germans, he could feel the adrenalin racing.

He wanted to know more about the enemy, who were they and what their tactics and strategies were. In order to learn more, he invested heavily in WWI and WWII history and collector books.

Soon he had an impressive library of his own and spent hours researching the battles, the combat leaders and their roles. He studied the collector books with great zeal so that he could learn to differentiate genuine articles from replicas. Over the years his collection and knowledge grew.

The crown jewels of Dennis’ collection are the grouping of awards, documents, medals, paybook, photos & obituary belonging to Kapitan zur see Karl Weniger. These items tell the journey of Kapitan Weniger’s naval career and offer a glimpse into the character of this brave man. He was awarded his country’s highest honor, the Knight’s Cross, as one of only 318 awarded to members of the Navy.

There were over 7,300 Knight’s Crosses awarded to other branches.

The highlight for Dennis was when Bill Shea took time out of his busy schedule to visit him at his home in Canada to view his collection.

Dennis is always excited about sharing his knowledge of the history of the Great Wars with others and is equally excited to learn from other collectors and scholars. His collection is the embodiment of a lifelong passion for military history.

Gary Parietti Gary Parietti started his career as a rare coin and paper money dealer. He rapidly built his reputation and business as being one of the best numismatists in the industry. Having founded Long Island Numismatics he quickly gained a national reputation for being an expert in that field and attained substantial success. He was an avid sportsman loving his hunting and fishing trips to Wyoming and Alaska. As such he had both an admiration and respect for guns in general and he had his favorites for hunting purposes. In the early 80’s he was introduced to Kentucky rifles. Not only did he find them attractive but they were also steeped in history. From the “shot heard ‘round the world” to Davy Crockett, the Kentucky rifle and all their variants played a key role in the building of our nation.

They became a natural extension to rare coins since both are a real representation of the history of our country and both have their respective peculiarities and varieties. Having amassed some 80 examples he moved on to other guns such as flintlock pistols, long guns, percussions and finally Colts with an occasional Winchester thrown in for good measure.

Gary being an avid collector amassed about 500 examples of guns he felt were interesting, unique and historic.

His style is eclectic meaning there is something for everyone that has an interest in firearms. He assembled a nice collection of 1st through 3rd generation Brown Bess muskets as well as many American revolutionary War long guns and pistols and he ended with Civil War and Winchester rifles. Colt percussion pistols were one of his favorite having assembled 40 or so Dragoons, Navy’s and Army’s, many as cased individual or matched sets.

Like the Coin collector he was he had at least one example of every type of firearm from matchlock, wheel lock, flintlock, percussion and cartridge type guns. There is something for everyone in his vast collection of note.

As with his coin & paper money business Gary loved to educate those that were interested in learning about each piece, their place in history, and the impact it made. His thirst for knowledge about a particular piece would lead him to the “who’s who” of the gun world to learn as much as he could so that not only would he be knowledgeable in that chosen item but so that he could impart that same knowledge base to those that were interested in collecting as well. He left us all far too soon and he is greatly missed as a husband, father, sportsman, bow hunter, avid ball player and friend. After his family and friends, his most prized possessions were those hard fought trophies he and his teammates received for a season of winning ball followed by his guns, and presidential document collections.

Although some of his most favorite pieces are being retained by his family members as a tribute to his love of collecting, the bulk of his collection will be available for auction starting with the current one listed in this catalogue. Gary enjoyed discussing, teaching about, and collecting these historic pieces and was very passionate about this hobby. It is our hope that you, the gun enthusiast, will appreciate his efforts and strive to attain a representative piece for your collection as well.

John Hartman Persing Dr. John H. Persing grew up in Watsontown, Pennsylvania, just a stones’ throw from the banks of the west branch of the Susquehanna River. It was along this riparian valley that, as a boy, John would spend countless hours looking for arrowheads and other discarded artifacts left behind by the Susquehannock people who lived along the river corridor hundreds of years prior. These early direct experiences with the physical remnants of human history ignited a lifelong passion for antique restoration and collection.

As a teenager, John’s interest shifted to automobiles, particularly Model A Fords and early V-8s. A “Ford man” throughout his life, his first restoration was a 1930 Model A Ford that remained his pride and joy throughout his life. It was the one antique car that he continued to drive until his death in 2020. His car restoration and collection would include early brass model T Fords, a first year production Lincoln Continental, and 50’s classics including a 1958 Thunderbird and a hot pink 1955 Sunliner. “Always collect convertibles” he would say, “they hold their value and are just better to look at.” His car collection was arguably one of the finest in the region.

After serving in the Air Force as a medical officer during the waning years of the Vietnam War, he returned to Pennsylvania with his young family to start a 46 year medical practice in Lewisburg, Pa. In addition to his growing car collection, Dr. Persing became interested in collecting the intricately decorated furniture of the Mahantongo Valley of south central Pennsylvania. These German-Pennsylvanian artisans created beautifullycrafted corner cupboards and blanket chests featuring a colorful array of tulips, birds, and flowers during the early decades of the 19th century.

During the last quarter century of his life, Dr. Persing pivoted his eye once again to the craftsmanship of Pennsylvania long rifles of the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. He collected both flintlock and early percussion rifles from that era and was particularly focused on locating and obtaining rifles from gunsmiths of the region where he lived (i.e. Union, Snyder, Montour, and Columbia counties). The collection represented here comprises over 150 rifles, most in pristine and original condition. Throughout his life, Dr. Persing maintained a deep sense of place and connection to the history and people of the Susquehanna Valley. This collection is a pure manifestation of that sensibility.

Paul Régnier I present myself as a collector specializing in early automatic weapons and also in the Luger Mauser and Bergmann. This is a passion that has lasted me for forty years.

I arrived in Switzerland in 1986, which allowed me to find a large number of prototype and experimental pistols, including the super rare Borchardt Luger from the Swiss tests of 1898/1899.

Passionate about the subject for a long time I was able, from this time, to establish a thesis on the birth and transformation of the Borchardt into Borchardt Luger using research from Bern’s archives and patent studies.

Before me many authors have attempted to unravel this mystery and have long believed in a transitional model. I published this Thesis first faith in 1993 in the catalog of the Neuchâtel Arms Exchange in Switzerland and on my website www.luger-genesis.com.

In 1993 this article was not protected by a copyright, many authors seized it and those who quoted me in their texts state: “To date, only two pistols from the Swiss tests have survived No 5 and No 6.”

“The Borchardt Luger No 6 is therefore the rarest Luger in the world.”

Paul Régnier Luger Genesis pistol

Paul has researched and written several articles on the genre; on the Bergmann and Le Francais for La Gazette des arms in 1981/1982 as well as for the Swiss Arms Fair Bulletin in 1993. He has specialized particularly in the early years of the Luger automatics, and the Swiss trials that occurred between 1898 & 1899. Poulin Auctions is very proud to present a selection of Paul’s collection in this upcoming auction.

James B. Taylor James B. Taylor was born in Harrisburg, PA on April 12, 1938. James married his love, Sarah Williams Taylor, 63 years ago and together they have been blessed with two adult children, Dale Taylor and Karen Taylor de Caballero along with twin grandchildren age 13.

James earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology, University of Redlands, California; a Master of Arts in Geology, as well as an Executive MBA Program, both from the University of California at Los Angeles. His extensive career spans over four decades of technical and executive management in world-wide exploration, development and production of oil and gas, concentrated in Latin America, Southeast Asia, The Middle East and Russia/CIS. He received board directorships that have involved top-level decision making and performance strategies to upstream and downstream companies.

When asked if there was a particular item that ignited his passion for collecting, James easily responds “I inherited my great-grandfather’s Officer’s sword.” His great grandfather was part of the 143rd Pennsylvania Vol. Infantry and fought during a number of battles including the Battle of Gettysburg. Throughout his entire collection, never has there been another item that has meant more to him than this sword.

James is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the American Society of Arms Collectors and various other Arms Collector groups. His other interests include Native American antique art, textiles, pottery and baskets. He also maintains an extensive collection of Spanish Colonial arms and accoutrements.

Poulin Firearms is extremely proud to have the opportunity to bring this remarkable collection to auction.

Fred Inganamort Fred Inganamort was born with a love of firearms.

Surrounded by hunters and sportsman since childhood, he received his first firearm when he was just eleven years old from his father, a 1964 Ruger 10/22. Shortly thereafter, he took his first hunting trip to Maine with his grandfather, father and uncle. From then on, hunting and the outdoors were his passions. Throughout his life, Fred traveled North America on numerous hunting expeditions with family and friends, making cherished memories along the way.

In addition to firearms for hunting, Fred also enjoyed skeet shooting and sporting clays. His collection is the cumulation of a lifelong appreciation of the craftsmanship and history of firearms, ranging from the familiar to the obscure, the modern to the antique, and everything in between. Each firearm in the collection has its own story.

Over the last decade, Fred regularly participated in Cowboy Action Shooting where he was known as, “Kid Harrison”. He was an active member of three SASS clubs in Florida: the Gold Coast Gunslingers, the Okeechobee Marshals and the OK Corral Outlaws. To his friends, family and fellow club members, Fred was known for not only being a kind and generous man, but also an excellent shot, a great teacher, and a wealth of knowledge about firearms, rivaling even historians.

Most importantly, Fred was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, and grandfather. He will be dearly missed. His legacy lives on not only in this most unique, exquisite and story-filled collection, but also in the passion and exuberance in which he lived his life.

This is a very honest survivor, showing honest use & well cared for. Scratched into the butt “CO. G / W.M.BUSH. CAPT.” The sm. inscription on buttstrap appears contemporarily scratched w/ dbl. lined letters through the silver plate. It would be interesting to see if any of the other 123 guns in this shipment from Colt, Aug. of 1861 to Philadelphia show up w/ Confederate identification. William M. Bush (1827-1900) was a prominent Texan, being among the largest ranchers & land holders in Hunt County. He originally was from Boonsboro, KY & served in the Mexican War w/ the 2nd Kentucky Infantry at the battles of Veracruz, Pueblo, Cerro Gordo. His Mexican War service made him the perfect candidate as an officer in the Confederate army. He entered service Feb. 23rd, 1862 as 1st Lieut. in Company G, 34th Texas Cavalry (Alexander’s Regt., 2nd Partisan Rangers). He was soon promoted to captain.

Session 4 | May 9, 2022 4060. PRIME CUSTER RANGE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 6130. Cal. 45 Colt.

S# 6130. Bbl. This gun was offered in a national catalog “The most historic U.S. SAA known, #6310 is the only Springfield Armory/Colt factory documented Indian captured, 7th Cavalry Little Big Horn surviving Single Action Army”. Well, this could all be true, but not so definitive. In a 1999 Sterling Fenn (coauthor of Colt Cavalry & Artillery Revolvers w/ John Kopek) letter that well describes this revolver concludes “It is my opinion that your Colt M 1873, S# 6310 is in its original as issued circa 1874 cavalry configuration & is a likely 7th cavalry Colt revolver which may have been captured or lost at the battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. It’s damaged or “unserviceable” classification, storage at the Springfield Armory for a period of time prior to 1895, & its rejection by the Colt factory for refurbishing in January 1996, strongly suggests battle damage or Indian abuse at a much earlier time. This greatly increases the probability of its 7th Cavalry Association & probably explains its existence in its original cavalry configuration & also it’s abused, battered condition. It cannot, however, be absolutely stated it was not issued to the first or second to cavalry during 1874, which also saw equally important & dangerous action during the Indian wars but had not lost revolvers to their enemies. As a genuine artifact of an earlier time in US history, it speaks volumes w/ out further comment & makes no excuses for what it is. This revolver has the look of a gun that matches the story of Indian capture & recapture. The gun is “as found”, all original & matching. The “US” has been purposely obliterated, but the sm. Ainsworth “A” is visible on most parts including bottom of bbl. There is bright blue finish on the protected area of the ejector housing & under ejector housing on bbl. w/ crisp matching last four digits of S#. Regardless, of its Western history this is a wonderful & aesthetically pleasing survivor. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: file of research on this revolver & other Custer surviving SAAs. CONDITION: good overall, appears all original & matching S#s throughout. The correct bbl. address is sharp as are S#s. There is no noted restoration other than replacement of several screws, all major parts are original. Grips have hand worn patina & rounded edges w/ tacking marks on bottom, cartouches worn away as expected w/ hard use. Metal has an overall gray iron patina w/ numerous sm. dings & dents, muzzle wear, fine mechanics & well-defined rifled bore. (01-20408/JS). ANTIQUE. $8,000-12,000.

4148. U. S. ARMAMENT CO. MODEL 1877 COLT BULLDOG GATLING GUN. Cal. 45-70. S# 23. Bbls. 5 of 18 1/4” having 1 in 22” twist rate. Manufactured approximately 2011 per October 1, 2011 dated factory letter. U.S. Armament incorporated in 1988 and commenced production in 2007. Manufactured from original Colt blueprints of Gatling’s most advanced gun with direct drive crank at rear rather than at the side. The 1877 Bulldog was the first Gatling gun to have barrels fully encased in brass and a sustained firing rate of approximating 800 rounds per minute; this rate exceeds most machine guns of WWII. (Another reproduction variation of the Bulldog was produced with 10 barrels having a firing rate of approximately 1200 rounds per minute.) The sustained firing rate is made possible by a loading mechanism called the “Bruce Feed” which is not a magazine, but instead a gravity feed device that allows wooden blocks of 20 rounds to be fed into 40 round dual parallel cartridge guides allowing the operator to switch between them. In loading the Gatling gun, the upper portion of the Bruce Feed allows the loader to square up the cartridges in the block before sliding the cartridges downward into the guides. Each full revolution of the crank handle sequentially fires all five barrels. U.S. Armament manufactured approximately 50 units starting with Serial No. 1. Manufacturing was done with modern (ultra accurate) CNC equipment along with hand fitting where necessary to create a fully functional firearm that is also of museum quality. Each Gatling gun was fully tested before shipment. The 2007 MSRP was approximately $36,500. A reproduction 1877 Bulldog Model was featured 2010 in a Guns & Ammo Magazine article and also at a SHOT Show (year unknown). Most models came with a tripod (like this one), but a limited few were produced on a carriage. Legs of the tripod are made of ash and furnished with finished stained circular spacer blocks so that the iron anchoring points of the tripod legs will not marr a finished floor while on display.

These reproductions were originally sold with 5 loading blocks that hold 20 rounds each. The sights consist of a dovetailed inverted V blade front sight that is drift adjustable for windage; the rear sight is adjustable and zeroed for 1,000 yards. Testing of the original Colt model was extremely successful, obtaining 996 hits out of 1000 at 500 yards. The firearm portion of this unit weighs 135 pounds as does the tripod leg set (10 barrel model weighs 170 pounds). Packed in original reproduction stained pine transit boxes having leather straps and buckle fastenings plus satin black iron handles on the ends. Each box has engraved on its lid (black colored characters) “MODEL 1877 CAL. 45 GOVT.” / “GATLING GUN” / “COLTS PT. FA. MFG. CO.” / “HARTFORD CONN.” S# 23 is on the right trunnion and the Bruce Feed; may have additional numbers, but only those two were noticed. Top rear of the firearm has an oval nameplate titled “GATLING’S BATTERY GUN” along with numerous patent dates ending in 1872 plus “Colt” and its address. The base where the Bruce Feed attaches is stamped “MODEL / 1877”.

UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Previously mentioned factory letter and five loading blocks plus spiral bound operator’s manual. CONDITION: Spectacular collector quality example that has not been fired; only set up for display. No marks or brass tarnishing. Many enjoyable YouTube videos show the Bulldog being fired. (221439/NW). MODERN. $30,000-40,000.

Session 4 | May 9, 2022 4149. BEAUTIFUL FURR ARMS 1874 GATLING GUN ON CARRIAGE. Cal. 22 Short. S# 174. Mfg. Furr Arms. Every so often an item transcends it original purpose & blurs the lines between form & function. The knowledge, passion, materials & time all work together in sync to bring forth a work of art where its beauty is only matched by it’s mechanical perfection. There are very few items that fall into this category but the Furr Arms Gatling Guns are solidly at the top of that list. Each piece manufactured & assembled by hand from intricate detailed parts cast in their own private foundry. The Furr Arms Gatling is as comfortable in the category of artistic beauty as it is a mighty machine. The concept of manufacturing these scale model Gatlings was born in 1968 as a challenge from a neighbor & grew into these works of art as we are familiar w/ today. Requiring hands on, fitted precision from pouring the molten brass to final fit & finish, each gun requires approx. 250 hours to complete. The final result is a ballet of nickel plating, polished brass & meticulously treated black walnut capable of firing at rates up to 700 rds. per minute. This particular example the 1874, feeds from its custom 220 rd. Broadwell drum & rests atop its select walnut, brass trimmed carriage complete w/ a functioning traverse & elevation mechanism. This work of art measures 24” in width & approx. 40” in length & weighs in at a whopping 50 lbs. Even though this exotic arm boasts a fast firing rate, it is not considered a machine gun under federal law but simply a “firearm”.

Aside from any specific draconian state law all that is required to purchase is a standard BATF form 4473. MAGS: 220 rd. Broadwell Drum. This gun was originally sold for $8000.00. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: copies of catalogs & instructions for cleaning, along w/ invoice dated 5/20/1983 from Safari Outfitters. CONDITION: the brass is golden colored w/ the patina one would expect to see.

The nickel plated bbls. are shiny & outwardly free of any visible defects. The carriage presents a few scattered impressions though it is difficult to tell which ones are intentional to meet the desired look. The brass trimmed walnut wheels & spokes exhibit some gentle finish thinning & no apparent structural issues are visible & everything is solid. Bores are shiny w/ proper rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. PROVENANCE: Estate Collection of Kenneth Horn (Grandson of JC Higgins). (22-491/JZ). MODERN. $7,000-10,000.

Session 4 | May 9, 2022 4425. SMITH & WESSON MODEL 3 REVOLVER INSCRIBED “DOROTEO ARANGO” PANCHO VILLA. Cal. 44 S&W. S#13780. Bbl. 6 1/2”. There have been many pistols attributed or inscribed to infamous characters in history, especially Jesse James and Pancho Villa who were Hollywood favorites. I have seen a good many inscribed or attributed guns to both Jesse and Poncho.

This Poncho Villa Smith & Wesson has provenance dating back to January 1936. There is no doubt that it was offered/sold to one of America’s most important gun collectors Bill Locke.

The accompanying letter from Edelbrock saddle company of Fort Worth Texas may be a bit embellished but does describe this gun and inscription so we know this gun existed a mere 13 years after Poncho Villa’s death and his popularity in pop culture was beginning. This popular large frame 44 caliber Smith & Wesson model 3 was shipped plain to the New York City distributor which is not uncommon for a gun that would gun to Mexico. The gun has the look of so many Mexican engraved revolvers plated gold and silver. It is accompanied by single loop money belt and studded tooled holster. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: file of documentation and research. CONDITION: good overall, shows hard use as so many Mexican pistols, plum patina, traces of gold plate, ivory grips have age patina and cracking with large worn chips. Mechanics functional, pitted bore with discernible rifling. Money belt and holster are good-very good overall and present nicely with revolver. PROVENANCE: letter from JM Edelbrock, January 15, 1936; describing gun and offering for sale to Bill Locke; Bill Locke collection; Chinatown Museum, Virginia City Nevada 1970s; Paul E. Goodwin 1986; Gary Helin collection; Pictured on page 26, and only non-Colt in book “Colts from Texas and The Old West” Jerry Hemphill, 1990. (0120584/JS). ANTIQUE. $20,000-30,000.

Session 4 | May 9, 2022 4426. SMITH & WESSON NO. 1 REVOLVER BELONGING TO THE STORIED “FANNY SWEET / NEW ORLEANS”. Cal. 22 S RF. S# 113597. An internet search revealed boundless information about the storied life of Fanny Sweet who wasn’t so sweet.

The investigative blog by J’aime Rubio described her unbelievable life and tries to separate the truth from the fiction. Allegedly born Rachel Fanny Brown in Rome, Ohio, January 9, 1826, she endured a traumatic childhood. Her questionable reputation included that of a madame, a lesbian cross dresser, practitioner of voodoo, thief, murderer & Confederate spy. During her life she used many aliases, including Fanny Smith, Fanny Seymour, Minerva Seymour, Fanny Hinkley, Fanny Mills, & Fanny Sweet. Her concocted identity claimed she was born in London, England & she even perfected a Cockney accent to aid in the deception. Rachel Fanny apparently spent time in Cleveland, Ohio as a child & later New Orleans & West Virginia before marrying a Mr. Smith from New York. By 1847, she had travelled to New Orleans where she allegedly began her career as a prostitute. In 1849, she went to Sacramento, California during the height of the gold rush where she ran another brothel and gained her unsavory reputation after allegedly shooting a man before fleeing to New Orleans. She reportedly died in Pensacola, Florida in 1895.

Her crypt is located in the Saint Louis Cemetery #3 in New Orleans and is marked “Tomb of Mrs. F.M. HinkleyMills” and “Aunt Fanny” below a broken cross. This highly finished revolver has a 3 3/16” round bbl. with rib & semi circular sight.

Seven shot fluted cylinder. Tip up action with spur trigger. Action & cylinder have 75% coverage of foliate, arabesque & geometric engraving. Frame & barrel are nickel plated. Cylinder & ejector pin are gold washed. Backstrap is inscribed “Fanny Sweet / New Orleans”. Two piece pearl bird’s head grips. Approx. 131,163 mfg. 1868-1881. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: early style Gutta Percha case as made for No. 1 first issue revolvers. Lid of case is decorated with a first issue revolver having Smith & Wesson markings with scroll highlights in corners & images of small revolvers bordering the upper & lower edges. Inside of lid has purple velour lining with grape vine embossing. Bottom of case has faded red cloth lining with cartridge block containing 47 rds. of .22 S & 1 rd. of CB cap ammo & slotted tip iron cleaning rod. Case shows restoration w/ painted surfaces & glued interior seams. Revolver & case are housed in a modern laminated wood storage box measuring 13.5” long by 7” wide by 4.5” high. CONDITION: frame & barrel retain over 85% nickel finish showing small dents & marks. Cylinder & ejector rod retain 30% dull gold wash. Very good pearl grips. Good mechanics. Lightly pitted bore with intact rifling. (01-20207/DS). ANTIQUE. $7,500-12,500.
