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 companies began holding auctions in conjunction with one another 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.

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 & 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,

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

Please Read Updated 2/23

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. 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 resale certificate. Due to the recent Supreme Court ruling, items shipped to some out of state residents may be charged sales tax, if your state requires our company to collect the recipient’s state sales tax.

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.

* 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.

* 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.

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 participating through the same method or platform.

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

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

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

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

14B. PHONE BIDDING:

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

* All requests for phone bidding should be made before 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the Auction to be sure we can accommodate you within the phone schedule.

* After this point we will only accept absentee bids.

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

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

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

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

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

Please Read Updated 2/23

* 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, 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 added to your invoice Buyers Premium.

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

* Please Note: These online platforms tell you when you are the highest absentee bidder. This is only within their platform. AuctionZip, Invaluable, Proxibid, 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.

Firearms Buyer Terms & Conditions

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.

Class III Policy Please Read

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

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

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

• 2 passport photos

• 2 sets of fingerprints

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

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

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

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

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.

John William “Bill” Gallup (1935-2023)

John William “Bill” Gallup was born in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada. His interest in collecting was stimulated when he was only a young boy of 6 years old. While living in Canada, during WWII, his mother would take him to the Royal Canadian Airforce training ground so he could see the soldiers marching. Bill was so enthralled; he had his own uniform and would march with the soldiers! Later, in high school, Bill joined the Naval Reserve. As such, he was required to spend a few weeks each summer at the Naval post. He was no longer the little lad gazing upon the brave soldiers marching in unison; he WAS one of the brave soldiers.

When Bill realized that his dream of pitching for the New York Yankees was not going to materialize, he enrolled at Creighton Law School where he found his true love ~ the law. Upon his graduation, Bill was an assistant city prosecutor, deputy county attorney and an assistant United States attorney before he entered private practice. Bill was later invited to john the American Board of Criminal Lawyers, and served as President of this board as well.

client, especially when a gun was presented into evidence. It looked very familiar to him and in fact, he exclaimed “That’s my gun”. It had been stolen from his office which he later retrieved from the police station. Although he was an avid collector of many things, he never shot his firearms; rather he just enjoyed owning them.

Bill collected artworks, cars, enjoyed museums, baseball and reading. He followed the careers of General MacArthur and General Patton. After he became a lawyer, he was known for quoting them while presenting his final arguments. He passionately lived his profession however his love for his family, the United States, and the military could not be denied. Bill firmly believed the words of MacArthur, “Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”

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. COLLECTION

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 incoln 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 MahantongoValley 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.

The Lifelong Collection of Glen E. Mattox

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Washington Arms Collectors Association, Life Member

• Oregon Arms Collectors Assoc.

• Texas Gun Collectors Association

• Colorado Arms Collectors Association

• Antique Bowie Knife Collectors Association

• Ohio Valley Military Society

• National Rifle Association

• Montana Arms Collectors Association

• Dakota Territory Gun Collectors Association

• Weapons Collectors Society of Montana, Charter Life Member

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

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

Manufactured 1944-1945 by Maget of Berlin. The

was one of the most feared German weapons to be fielded during WWII. Nicknamed “Hitler’s Zipper” due to its incredibly fast cyclic rate, upwards of 1600 rounds per minute of the powerful 8x57mm Mauser cartridge. It was designed to replace the very successful MG34, which required extensive machining and hand fitting of expensive steel. The MG42 would be manufactured extensively from stamped metal, making them much easier & less expensive to produce than the MG34 though they ended up being used in conjunction with them until the end of the war. The time estimate to manufacture an MG34 was approximately 150 man hours while the new MG42 took only 75. The innovation that was utilized in the MG42s operating system lead to general overall improvements to later weapon systems and its legacy lives on today in the development of the United States own M60 GPMG as well as numerous others. The MG42 has an iconic style that is easy to identify, much due to its innovative quick change barrel design. The barrel swings out the side of the barrel jacket & is extracted to the rear, which leaves a large open slot on the right side measuring over 16” in length. The remainder of the barrel jacket has oblong slots for cooling instead of circular ports like the MG34. At the end of the barrel shroud is a partially ported, 4”, cone shaped muzzle booster that remains secured to the jacket during barrel changes. A folding bipod also stays secured to the barrel jacket approximately 3” behind the muzzle booster. A peek inside the top cover will quickly reveal similarities w/ the US M60 in its shuttle feed system, feed tray & pawls. It is charged to fire through a hinged, reciprocating charging handle located on the right side, directly above the trigger. Bakelite pistol grips incorporate a cross-slide safety above the hand placement, locking the bolt open. Markings on this example are scattered all over and include the following; On the left side of the receiver at rear include “NC / MG 42 / 197p / swd” translating to 1944-1945 manufacture by Maget of Berlin. On the trigger housing, left side is a German Eagle over the number 14. On the shoulder stock, left side is a German Eagle & “hvq 44”. Barrel jacket below rear sight marked “bpr / 245” & barrel booster retaining arm also marked “bpr” designating work by Johannes Grossfuss, of Döbeln/Sachsen, a metalworking business that produced parts for many guns. MAGS: 4 steel 50rd. basket drums & 7 lengths of 50rd. non-disintegrating links. CONDITION: The majority of original finish has faded to a flat gray, blended w/ a patina coverage. Barrel jacket has been cut & welded back together 12” behind the muzzle. Markings remain clear & readable on both metal & wood surfaces. Bore is dark but retains strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT MG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE. (03-1612/JZ).

WWII

ERA GERMAN MP43 MG. Cal. 7.92x33 Kurz. S# 3859g. Bbl. 16.5”. Mfg. 1944. This is the holy grail for some collectors, considered the forerunner of the MP44, the first true modern Assault Rifle. Chambered in 7.92x33mm, this allowed the standard German cal. to remain 8mm while at the same time adopting a medium range load. Select fire, allowing semi or full auto fire w/ the simplicity of sliding the switch above the safety. This rifle utilized both metal stampings & machined parts to minimize production cost and time. Hooded fixed blade front sight. Ladder rear sight graduated to 800 meters. Circular mag. release emboldened w/ ring pattern. Checkered cross block selector switch “E/D”. Top folding dust cover over ejection port on right side. Left side reciprocating charging handle. Several parts w/ number matching receiver including trigger group, mag-well, stock, bolt, bolt carrier & op-rod. There are several stampings throughout the gun as is common of any German Military firearm of this era. Markings include; left side receiver, in bolt channel “MP43”, left side trigger group Waffenamt marked w/ “WaA21”, Receiver bottom, below front trunnion, “COS”, the German eagle w/ “WaA444 / COS”, German eagle w/ party symbol, and another above “37”. Left side of trigger also has the “37” below eagle. Thin brown leather sling, appearing to be original, on right side. MAGS: 2 steel 30rd. 1 marked “fxo” (C.G Haenel mfg.) on right & MKb 42 / MP43” on left. The other mag marked “bte” (Frankische Eisenwerke AG mfg.) on right & “MP44” on left. CONDITION: Original finish remains heaviest on receiver & trigger group, thinning on high spots. Handguard, barrel, stock metal & magazines have thinned greatly blending to a mixture of fine patina throughout. Fxo magazine appears fully functional though floorplate is sharp at front, & bte magazine is just the body, missing the floorplate, spring & follower. Fire control mechanism is smooth & appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Bore is quite bright, retaining strong rifling.

1003. ORIGINAL GERMAN WORLD WAR II C.G. HAENEL MP41 SMG. Cal. 9mm Parabellum. S# 26678. Bbl. 9.9”. There are few WWII era submachine guns that are as rare & desirable as the German MP41. This “Upgrade” from the well known MP40 was designed in 1941 & based on the Hugo Schmeisser patent, with his direct involvement. It is believed that less than 5000 total were manufactured. It was intended to improve hit probability with the full stock and weighing in at over 9 pounds (loaded), boasting a cyclic rate of 500-550 rounds per minute. Smartly, the MP41 utilizes the MP38/40 magazines though more were manufactured and stamped MP41. They were never adopted by the German Wehrmacht (Unified Armed Forces) and most went to elite Schutzstaffel (SS) ranks for Military Police duty, if they saw military service at all. At first glance it seems to simply be an MP40 in a full walnut stock but there were many changes once actually inspected. There is only around 50% parts compatibility with the MP40 though it would outwardly appear much higher. Some of the more obvious differences include the deletion of the MP40 barrel nut and iconic resting bar, along with the inclusion of a selector switch above the trigger allowing select-fire operation. Front sight is a hooded blade while the rear sight is a rugged folding dual aperture notch, marked “100” & “200”. The receiver section remains a tube, drawn over a mandrel, adding the familiar ridges to add strength. The mag.well is ribbed, and very similar in appearance to the MP40 style, incorporating a mag. release that is checkered on the bottom, slowly dropping lines as it moves up, having no texture at the very top. It is a blowback operated action utilizing a reciprocating, left side charging handle which has a safety slot to engage forward of the end cap. The MP41 design incorporates an end cap that is unlocked & turned 45 degrees clockwise to field strip it, removing the firing pin / recoil mechanism and bolt with ease. Solid, milled steel trigger guard and bottom plate. Walnut stock is terminated at the rear with a steel buttplate. Markings on the top of the receiver include ”M.P. 41 / PATENT SCHMEISSER / C.G. HAENEL, SUHL”. Several locations have the Waffenamt mark “WaA44” along with the Eagle over “37” which is common for the few of these that have surfaced. Barrel numbered to receiver “6678”, also bearing secondary number “2480B” on bottom, the same code we’ve seen with other examples. Green canvas sling on left side. CONDITION: this SMG looks as though it were stuck in a time capsule in the mid 1940s and delivered right to 2023, 80 years later. From the beautiful Walnut stock to the externals still wearing their blued finish, just starting to thin in areas of mechanical intervention where it should rub off immediately and internals like the bore, still shiny with sharp rifling. Numbers matching on accessible, numbered parts. This is a beautiful, original example, is a real ballistic unicorn. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand.

1004. VERY NICE C&R STEYR BNZ43 9MM MP40 SMG. Cal. 9mm. S# 7127A. Bbl. 9 9/10”. Hooded fixed blade front sight, rear sight is windage drift adj. 2 Piece folding leaf. Of all the German WWII era SMGs, the MP40 may be the most iconic of them all. Its slow cyclic rate combined w/ decent sights & pleasant ergonomics make it as fun to operate as it is interesting to look at. It utilizes a very simplistic, yet incredibly smooth open bolt firing mechanism. The recoil system is typical of German over engineering consisting of a 3 piece telescoping rod w/ a captured spring that doubles as the connection point for the firing pin which slides inside of the bolt. The safety mechanism is an extremely simple design which shares commonalties w/ other WWII era SMGs. It consists of a rearward notch that interfaces w/ the cocking handle holding the bolt to the rear. Manufactured in 1943 by Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG as designated by receiver code “bnz.43”. This MP40 appears to be a 2nd variation, based on the smooth mag. housing w/ square notch facing the shooter, as well as the safety style bolt handle instead of the early hook. There are several numbers & marks spread over this platform, including; “Grip frame & receiver cap - “bnz 43 / 11441”. Trigger housing - “8064 t”. Stock - “024”. Receiver tube - “7127a / COS / 40” & several waffenamts including eagle over “WaA444” & “WaA623”. Mag well - “127”. Barrel, resting bar & front sight - “447”. Rear sights - “127”. Bolt - “1092L” & waffenamt eagle over “WaA623”. Recoil rod & firing pin - “3721 / 721” & waffenamt “WaA623”. Under folding stock, dark brown Bakelite grips & lower receiver cover. MAGS: 1 original 30 rd. marked “MP38u40”. CONDITION: Matte black finish complete & consistent w/ great coverage. Some thinning, primarily in areas of mechanical intervention. This is a VERY nice example. Stock locks tight in both folded & extended positions. Grips appear in nice condition free of any obvious damage & Bakelite receiver has normal scratches w/ only slight indentation at rear above folding stock mechanism. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT CURIO & RELIC MG, REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE.

Of all the German WWII era SMGs, the MP40 may be the most iconic of them all. Its slow cyclic rate combined w/ decent sights & pleasant ergonomics make it as fun to operate as it is interesting to look at. It utilizes a very simplistic, yet incredibly smooth open bolt firing mechanism. The recoil system is typical of German over engineering consisting of a 3 piece telescoping rod w/ a captured spring that doubles as the connection point for the firing pin which slides inside of the bolt.

It consists of a rearward notch that interfaces w/ the cocking handle holding the bolt to the rear. Parts manufactured in 1942 by ERMA as designated by receiver code “ayf42” & registered by Robert Landies of Collectors Corner. This MP40 utilizes a 3d generation mag. housing which includes the ribs for strength & square notch facing the shooter. It appears that there are a large amount of matching numbered components including bbl., trigger housing, stock, bbl. nut, front & rear sights, etc. Waffenamts appear on multiple parts including rear receiver just above folding stock mechanism “WaA254”, on the shoulder stock Eagle “280”, as well as several other locations. Underfolding stock, black Bakelite grips & brown lower receiver cover. Resting bar appears to be the typical dark black painted cast zinc. Brown leather sling. MAGS: 8 steel 32 rd. Most marked “M.P.38u.40” & original metal mag loader. CONDITION: good bore w/ strong rifling. Majority of original blued finish remains present w/ some areas thinning to light brown w/ traces of extremely gentle patina.

1006. EXTREMELY COMPLETE JAPANESE TYPE 99 LMG WITH SCOPE BIPOD, & BAYONET. Cal. 7.7. S# 16148. Bbl. 21.5”. Mfg. August, 1944. An amazing example of an original Japanese Type 99 machine gun. The Type 99 was developed in 1939 as a replacement for the Type 96 LMG in order to utilize the much more powerful 7.7mm Japanese cartridge. It proved to be one of the most successful Japanese machine gun designs of the WWII era. Barrel incorporates enormous circular cooling fins, along w/ 5.5” cone flash hider as evidence of being heavily inspired in design by the early French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun. The inspiration from the British Bren can also be recognized in the top mounted magazine placement, the front folding bipod, and wooden barrel handle. The heavy, machined parts are accentuated w/ a hardwood shoulder stock & pistol grip. Specific features illustrate it is later in design, including the smooth pistol grip, the absence of a monopod on buttstock & solid front sight blade w/ out radium insert. Matching receiver numbers on several parts including the mag well dust cover & ejection port cover, Well preserved dark finish. Receiver markings include the serial number, “16148” over “19.8” indicating Showa Era year 19, 8th month translating to the manufacturing date of August, 1944. Due to the center placement of the magazine, the sights are offset to the left side, consisting of a front protected heavy blade that coincides w/ a drum adjusted rear peep sight marked from 1-15. This particular example also includes an original 2.5x scope w/ machine gun reticle, which sets over to the right side of the center mounted magazine. It is also in beautiful condition w/ its dark black painted finish covering the vast majority of it classic brass body. Front mounted bipod has legs that provide 14” of height when employed, mounted directly below the bayonet lug. Complete w/ original bayonet, w/ blade measuring a whopping 15.5” and proper steel scabbard. MAGS: (2 total). 1 original steel 30 rd. w/ rear round counter for last 4 rounds. 1 MG13 converted 25 rd.

1008. DESIRABLE FULLY TRANSFERABLE AUSTRALIAN AUSTEN SMG BY TAYLOR MANUFACTURING. Cal. 9mm. S# BT124. Bbl. 8”. The Australian Austen SMG is a blowback operated, open bolt design that was conceived as an updated British Sten w/ some features they desired from the German MP40 in the 1940s. To connoisseur of either, the distinct features will be immediately obvious. Essentially a Sten tubular receiver, barrel & feed system have been mated w/ deal MP40 style grips & an under folding stock. The name was derived simply from the words AUstralian STEN. Those that do surface are often painted a shade of green and this example is no exception. Finish is a yellow / green camoflauge painted pattern. It was built by Taylor Manufacturing of Decatur, GA. utilizing an original Austen parts kit, built on a transferable MKII Sten tube. The quick change barrel is secured w/ a threaded, 3” ventilated barrel shroud. The magazine feeds from a mag well on the left side, presented horizontally, and utilizes standard Sten magazines as well as the original 28 rd mags. Mag well marked w/ DC logo (Diecasters Ltd) & “AUSTEN MK1 / No__ / K ^ H”. Tube marked; “TAYLOR MFG DACETUR, GA”. Sights are very similar to the Sten design w/ a front chevron blade & rear peep that is integral to the cap welded at the rear of the tube. Under folding stock is unlocked for folding by depressing a button on the top, rear of the tube.The shoulder portion folds to mate w/ front pistol grip when in closed position. Front & rear pistol grips utilize dark brown 2 piece plastic grip panels on each. Selector is a cross slide pin located forward of the trigger mechanism marked “R” for semiautomatic & “A” for fully automatic function. Right side reciprocating, knurled charging handle. Action operating spring is quite similar to the MP40, utilizing a telescoping rod w/ internal spring, rather than the archaic exposed spring design of a traditional Sten design. Left side mounted, green canvas sling. MAGS: 1 original 28 rd w/ knurled section marked; “AUSTEN / DC” on left & “28 ROUNDS / 9MM” on right side.

1 Sten 30 rd. CONDITION: The entirety of exposed surfaces painted w/ a green & yellow camoflauge pattern, except the barrel. Finish demonstrates very little sign of use aside from some thinning, primarily on the cast, brass mag well & in areas of mechanical intervention.

1009. FULLY TRANSFERABLE RAMO MFG M1919A4 MACHINE GUN. Cal. 30. S# 600097. Bbl. 24”. Mfg. by RAMO. The 1919 is one of the most iconic ground & vehicle mounted machine guns in U.S. Military history w/ such a long range of service, from the early 1920’s through Vietnam, video footage as well as Hollywood films have featured this weapon system in countless reels. Originally it was intended to be the “go-to” Browning design tank gun in WWI, though it was introduced a little too late. It utilizes a heavier bbl. than its water cooled predecessor & traded the massive water jacket for a much slimmer slotted bbl. shroud for air cooling. The 1919A4 is one of the most commonly encountered & was originally issued in both a fixed & flexible platform. The fixed gun was often used on WW2 vehicles, while the flexible had a focus as an infantry company level machine gun. Numerous mounting options were available, including several tripod variants, pedestal mounts & even an A6 variation, which utilized a bipod & shoulder stock, w/ the intention of making it more user friendly. Today, these guns are highly sought after by recreational shooters & reenactors. They saw such a long period of service that spare parts are fairly readily available. This specific offering is comprised of an original part set & is assembled on a RAMO sideplate. Originally papered as a M1919A4 configuration.

1013. FULLY TRANSFERABLE, BLUED, HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON REISING MODEL 50 SMG. Cal. 45 ACP. S# 105873. Bbl. 13.5” over comp. Barrel w/ 27 fins. In a search for another compact SMG as things were heating up in Europe in 1939, Eugene Reising went to work designing what we would eventually know as the Reising Model 50. He received a patent on his compact, closed bolt carbine, chambered in .45ACP in June of 1940, and entered into a manufacturing contract with Harrington & Richardson to facilitate production. It didn’t have many competitors, as the only similar firearm was the Thompson SMG, but the Reising Model 50 was extremely accurate since it fired from a closed bolt. After submission for testing with the US Army, it was not immediately accepted since its same closed bolt mechanism that provided superior accuracy had a tendency to malfunction when not cleaned and maintained regularly. Since the Thompson SMG faced a shortage, the United States Marine Corps adopted the Reising Model 50 with a parkerized finish, cooling fins, a muzzle device to assist with recoil and with select-fire capability. They then requested a modified version for the “Para Marines” that utilized a folding wire stock in a pistol grip design, and without the muzzle device. It was known as the Reising Model 55 and shared by the Tank crews. This example, the Model 50 is a select fire, closed bolt sub machine gun. It has a 20rd mag-well with 27 cooling fins and a 6 slot muzzle device. Exposed metal surfaces are finished in a dark bluing. Full length wooden stock. Graduated elevation adjustable rear peep sight & drift windage adjustable front post sight incorporated into the muzzle device. Receiver is stamped on top “MODEL 50 –H.&R.

1017. RARE & DESIRABLE US MILITARY M2 FLAMETHROWER. S# 9. The portable flame thrower fielded by U.S. Soldiers & Marines in World II and Vietnam is one of the most fabled devices ever utilized in combat. Its simple mechanics have always been completely overshadowed by its capability for sheer destruction. Anytime one is fielded at a military demonstration the lines of spectators are long and deep. Adding to its mystique of fable & lore is the powerful heat wave that can be felt by bystanders far behind and out of range of the operator, and always remains a vocal highlight of any personal demonstration. Capable of use with liquid fuel, or thickened fuel, they never fail to completely engulf their target in a massive stream of flame. This particular piece, the early M2 was discontinued prior to the WWII invasions of Iwo Jima & Okinawa, & it was later replaced by the M2-2, The M2A1-7 & finally the M9A1. It appears quite complete, including the ignition head (the business end) of the M2 which would be placed forward of the barrel, valves, hose & iconic tanks. It still wears the blue & brass ID tag marked w/ the following; “CHEMICAL WARFARE SERVICE U.S.A. / PORTABLE FLAME THROWER GUN M2 / F.F.S. INC. / SERIAL NO. 9 / LOT N4-17”. CONDITION: the triggers still moves freely under heavy spring tension, both on the ignition head as well as the valve lever & grip safety. The latch operates correctly, locking the ignition shield tightly, as indexed by the outer case pin. The trigger rod moves freely. Backpack frame includes web gear. All accessible valves appear to move freely. Tanks appear free of any outwardly noticeable damage or blemishing, currently wearing a coat of matching OD green paint.

the unofficial designation of “Model B” among collectors. Ithaca ceased production of the entire project in 1934 when the National Firearms Act of 1934 imposed a prohibitive transfer tax of $200 on each gun to be sold, which was later reduced to a $5 transfer tax in 1960. These factors lead to very low production numbers, making them desirable & rare collectors pieces today.

1032. EXTREMELY RARE HIGH STANDARD CIA SILENT PISTOL. Cal. 22 LR. S# 128611 (Pistol & suppressor) Bbl.8”. Since the May 1, 1960 Soviet downing of US CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers, from his U-2 high altitude reconnaissance jet while flying deep in Russian territory over the Ural Mountains, the CIA “Secret spy pistol” has no longer been a secret. When the Soviets found it in his cockpit survival case they convicted him of espionage. The High Standard HD w/ integral suppressor has been an item of lore for a very long time, eventually covered in books including “OSS Special Weapons & Equipment - Spy Devices of WWII” by H. Keith Melton, and more recently, on the world wide web. This is an absolutely amazing find. Pistol is a High Standard Model HD, parkerized in finish. Right side of frame marked “ PROPERTY OF U.S.” above flaming bomb ordnance stamp, just rear of barrel. Suppressor measures 8” & stamped at 6 O’clock; “AVS AHF INC FAYETTEVILLE, NC / MODEL HDM CAL 22 SN 128611”. Suppressor serial number matches pistol, which weighs in at 2# 13oz unloaded.

came into service in the United States in 1979, seeing significant use in both the Persian Gulf War & Iraq War. Its design is based on the M113 Armored Personal Carrier chassis & designed to carry a dual M220 TOW Missile Launcher, nicknamed “The Hammerhead” due to the aesthetics of the unique turret. Operated w/ a crew of 4 (squad leader, gunner, loader, driver) this 12 ton machine measures almost 16’ in length & just under 9’ wide with a height of almost 10’ w/ targeting head stowed. It has a range of 300 miles w/ a top speed of 38 mph. It is armored w/ 1.5” on the front & 1.75” on the sides. A primary asset of the M901 is its mobility. Its speed, range & power to weight ratio is equivalent to modern tracked vehicles & it is amphibious w/o special preparation. It can be transported w/ a full loadout by the C-130 Hercules, or the C-27 Spartan. Due to its upgraded suspension, it can also be air-dropped, or rolled off directly into battle. The speed of the firing system, as well as its land speed, is also an asset. When it takes a firing position, it can raise up, acquire the target & engage within 20 seconds. The launcher must be lowered to reload, but can still accomplish that task, and be back to firing in only 40 seconds. It can also carry a 7.62mm GPMG, usually an M60 or M240, as defense against aircraft & personnel. The ammo loadout capacity is 10 TOW Missiles & 2,000 rounds of 7.62 NATO, not including that already loaded and ready. It is powered by a GM Diesel engine producing between 220 & 275 horsepower & able to maneuver on a 60% gradient & 30% side slope. Each side contains 5 road wheels, an idler & drive sprocket. CONDITION: Exterior finish painted green, black & brown camouflage. Tracks utilize rubber pads between lugs to minimize hard surface damage. Overall condition appears to be very good & runs well according to consignor. THIS WILL BE SOLD OFF-SITE, if interested in viewing, an appointment can be set by calling (207) 453-2114.

1033B. EXTREMELY RARE BRITISH FV102 STRIKER ATGM CARRIER. The FV102 Striker is a British member of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance, Tracked classification “CVR(T)” designed as an Anti-Tank Guided Missile “ATGM” carrier, specifically for the Swingfire Guided Missile System. There were a total of only 48 ordered in this configuration, & we believe this is the only example to be imported into the United States. Each FV102 Striker is originally loaded with 5 missiles, ready for immediate deployment in the launcher, and 5 more on board for reloading. The Striker Swingfire anti-tank guided missile launcher is boxed on the rear of the body. When needed, the launch box is elevated 35-degrees and the missiles are fired over the front of the vehicle. They are wire-guided missiles where the gunner has to keep his sights on the target and and control it with a small joystick. It is fitted with eight smoke grenade dischargers, in two clusters of four, on each side. It is fitted with a turret and mount for a 7.62mm L7 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), the British variant of the Belgian FN MAG. It could be operated directly, or remotely, under cover, from inside of the Striker through a solenoid trigger mechanism and linkage to control traverse and elevation. Its ammunition capacity was 3000 rounds. The FV102 carries a crew of 3, with speed and agility being a top priority. The Striker engines were initially a Jaguar 4.2 liter burning gasoline, and producing approximately 190 horsepower. Later in production the engines were replaced with a Cummings 5.9 liter diesel. Armor is aluminum instead of steel, for lighter weight and mobility, allowing a top speed of 50Mph with a range of 300 miles, and still providing protection from small arms fire and fragmentation. The striker first entered service in 1976 with the Royal Artillery Anti-tank Guided Missile Batteries, later being fielded by the British during Operation Iraqi Freedom, following Saddam Hussein’s ordered invasion of Kuwait. SPECIFICATIONS (As Originally Delivered from Manufacturer): Weight: 9.1-tons (8,346-kg). Length: 15’ 8” (4.8-m). Width: 7’ 4” (2.40-m). Height: 7’ 6” (2.28-m). Crew: 3.

1034. EXTRAORDINARY, SPECIAL ORDERED MAUSER C96 WITH SCOPE & STOCK. Cal. 7.63mm. S# 834001. Seldom does one come across a truly unique special order firearm. This incredible ensemble was reportedly made in 1931 and based on a 1930 Commercial pistol. The frame was dimensionally changed, thickened in the upper portion of the right side to provide a flat surface for a scope base upon which could be mounted an OIGEE scope. The scoped pistol, attached to a standard 1930 Commercial stock, presenting an extraordinarily ensemble that may have been used as a basis for the Hollywood Han Solo blaster. This exact ensemble was sold at a major auction house in the U.S., many years ago, for over $50,000, and was profiled in great detail in the German language C96 book “GESCHICHTE & MODELLE 1923-1945, Vol 4” on pages 135137”. The project started using a standard M1930 Commercial having a 5.5” bbl. w/ fixed front sight & slip-in rear sight graduated 50-1000. Short extractor, 2-lug firing pin, universal safety & sm. ring hammer. Usual Mauser address on top of chamber, Crown/”C”/”U” proof on left chamber flat. Full S# on left side of bbl. extension, disassembly showing a matching frame & an unnumbered locking block & floorplate. The special order work was largely directed to the right side of the frame where the upper portion was machined flat. A scope base was attached using 2 lg. diameter pins, then welded in place, its surface having 2 channels for the cammed levers of the mount. The mount slipped over the base & was secured by turning the levers, just as used to attach a Luger stock to its corresponding lug. Sturdy rings were used to secure an OIGEE scope, the manufacturer active from 1910-1960, marked “OIGEE/BERLIN” in 2 locations, with a magnification of

2.5x & marked “6134” under adjustment knobs. “5588” marked on top of scope, arguably representing the model. Presenting reticle is a central pointed post bracketed by 2 equally thick horizontal bars. The attaching stock is from a standard production 1930 Commercial, this one having an unmarked lug w/ squared shoulders. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: scope w/ attached mount & 1930 Commercial shoulder stock. CONDITION: near excellent original salt blue as applied by Mauser to their 1930 Commercial pistols w/ a tempering line just behind the chamber & another at the upper rear of the frame. Sharp edge & handling wear as one might expect from a pistol that has seen light use w/ no evidence of touch up. Bright bore w/sharp rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. Scope & mount, each w/ original finish, are in the same condition w/ scope having bright, crisp optics. Excellent shoulder stock w/a light scattering of handling dings, comparable condition hinge, lug w/ fading over its upper arm. An absolutely stunning special order ensemble. Yes, you could own the Hollywood blaster, but wouldn’t you rather have the real thing? (223153/LMA). CURIO. $35,000-65,000.

rear sight marked with numerals to 500 meters and graduated with lines to 2,000 meters in 50 meter increments. Nicknamed “elefantenbuchse” by the German soldiers, these massive anti-tank rifles were the first weapons designed specifically to combat the increasing use of tanks by the allied forces. The new anti-tank rifle allowed a much surer penetration of the relatively thinly armored early tanks than was possible w/ the steel cored “K” ammunition used in rifles and machine guns. Even if penetration with the powerful 13mm cartridge was not achieved, spalling and loose rivets could still cause lethal threat to tank crewmen. Mauser Werke was tasked in Nov. 1917 to produce an anti-tank weapon & developed in a remarkably short time. The rifles were issued starting in June of 1918. The ammunition had been already under development by the Polte Ammunition Factory in Magdeburg. This ammunition used a semi-rimmed case 92mm long and had a steel cored bullet 13mm in diameter. The bullet weighed approximately 795 grains with a muzzle velocity of 2560’ per sec. this would allow a penetration of approximately 1 inch of armor at 100 meters. The original intent was to develop a “Tank und Flieger (TuF)” machine gun using this cartridge but the machine gun never reached front line service. The “Kurz” marked rifles are extremely scarce variations of an already rare rifle. The barrels were manufactured 3 3/4” shorter than the later versions of the Model 1918 leaving the barrels notably larger at the muzzle end. There is some question that there were Kurz rifles made with a shorter version of the standard 13X92SR cartridge. This rifle is however chambered for the full length cartridge. The rifle has a huge breech bolt with a straight handle and 4 locking lugs, 2 each at front and rear. This rifle has a 1 piece walnut stock which is rarely seen as most had 2 piece Elm stocks making this rifle a truly unique piece. The receiver is marked on top with a

crisp legible Mauser banner and dated “1918”. Barrel marked on the left side over the chamber “KURZ”, “25” and the Prussian eagle proof. The right side of the barrel marked with “18”, oriented to be read from the top. S# 25 appears on the left side of the receiver ring, barrel, bolt handle, bolt shroud, cocking piece and trigger guard. The bolt release is unnumbered. Non rotating extractor. Standard Mauser type flag safety. Walnut stock is not equipped with a buttplate as these were not used on the Model 1918s. There is a separate walnut pistol grip located behind the trigger guard. Stock marked on the right side of the butt with 2 royal monograms and marked underneath behind pistol grip w/ royal monogram. Barrel band marked on the right side with the “BATF” registration numbers. Band has flanges to accept the “MG08/15” light machine gun bipod. The bipod has the later tubular leg construction with stamped and riveted feet. The right foot marked “M.O.” Imperial Crown. These bipods replaced the sheet metal models made for light machine guns which did not prove durable enough. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: included in this grouping is an extremely rare example of a heavy green canvas like ammunition carrier. The unmarked carrier has internal loops for 20 cartridges and is supported by a woven shoulder strap with an over center buckle. Flap is closed by two leather tabs held by steel buttons (one tab is not present). Carrier contains 19 loaded original cartridges including an example headstamped “P”, “T67”, “18”, “4” (indicating manufactured date of April 1918 which dates before the gun was issued for general service) plus 2 misfires and 1 cartridge which has had the bullet pulled, the powder removed and the bullet replaced in the unfired case. They all have Polte (P) headstamps, are all marked T67 and date from June to November of 1918. The ammunition carrier has light wear & staining. Stitching is generally tight. Carrier strap ends are slightly frayed but have threaded serving. The missing retainer strap leaves a small amount of original attaching thread. The cartridges have varying states of oxidation from long storage but are in generally good condition with legible headstamps. there are copies of a handwritten letter dated April 6, 1977 from Frederick A. Morgan to his son Thomas H. Morgan regarding the circumstance and location in France where he obtained the gun and the details of how it was shipped home. Also included is the ATF paperwork from the registration of this rifle in Oxnard, California. The group additonally includes a book entitled, “Das Tankgewehr Mauser M 1918” by Wolfgang Kern which features this Kurz rifle serial #25 in chapter 5 with considerable photographic detail between pages 57-59. The book although written with German text shows a number of the Mauser Antitank rifles & early tanks, and also a nice view of the TUF 13mm machine gun mounted on a wheeled carriage. The grouping includes a book authored and signed by Jeff Noll titled The Imperial German Regimental Marking. There are a number of copied photographs showing the Model 1918 in the hands of German troops including the rifles and cloth ammunition pouches. The pouches pictured show two different types of shoulder straps. One of the photos shows two soldiers each holding “bundled” stick type antitank grenades. In another there are 2 Model 1918 rifles resting on a bench with a British Whippet tank in the background, likely a captured example used for training. A letter to Glen E. Mattox from the former owner of this rifle, Jeffery R. Noll, dated November 11, 2018, in which he states that the family of Frederick Morgan was not able to supply an original photograph of Frederick, however there is a 3.5”X5” photocopy of 3 American officers who are identified on the back as Frederick, Albert and Charles. The letter from Glen Mattox is a summarized history of the rifle S# 25. The letter details how the rifle was purchased from Frederick for $130 by his son, Thomas who delivered the rifle to Jeffrey Noll in California. Mr. Noll expressed concern that the rifle

was still designated a destructive device and took it to the BATF office in Oxnard CA. where it was duly registered and the transfer tax paid. The provenance includes the original paperwork including ATF form 4 dated 7/26/77. We have included a copy of section 3 of the BATF Curios And Relics List – Section 3 “Firearms Removed from the Provisions of The National Firearms Act And The Classified As Curios And Relics, Still Subject To The Provisions Of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, The Gun Control Act of 1968”. As indicated in this section even though the bore diameter is over 1/2” and would typically be categorized as a destructive device, the German Model 1918 in caliber 13.25mm is exempt from those provisions and treated as any traditional long gun. There is a letter from W.H. Woodin of the Woodin Laboratory to Mr. Noll dated April 5, 1983 inquiring if the KURZ stamping referred to a shorter version of the normal cartridge (rifle is chambered for the standard cartridge) and 2 more letters from A.W.Gibbs in the United Kingdom concerning the possibility of the rifle being chambered for a shorter cartridge. The family of Fred Morgan provided copies of his letters written to his sister, Natalie Morgan, in 1918 and 1919. Mr. Morgan was a member of the 524th Engineers AEF. There are photocopies of original German antitank warfare pamphlets which mention the Renault F T 17 light tank and the English Whippet light tank. Included are a number of reprinted magazine articles detailing the German antitank rifles one of which is from “The Gun Report” December 1939. CONDITION: the stock has the expected moderate wear and handling marks commensurate with service in a harsh environment but leaving a visually appealing appearance. There is a very slight chipping at the end of the receiver tang and a tiny 1” crack at the forward end of the trigger guard.

Although Krauswerk has long been known for making the best quality reproduction M1906 .45 cal and Baby Lugers. What most collectors don’t realize, is that Krauswerk also made at least 2 .45 ACP Luger carbines! Although the S# on this example is “4”, it is not known if the guns were made consecutively as the consignor was very specific in wanting a S# 4 carbine to match the SN of his M1906 & Baby Luger. The carbine was made using the same equipment as for the M1906 pistols, modified to have a longer bbl., a forward frame extension for forearm attachment, a modified rear toggle (still marked w/ the intertwined “GL” but devoid of the rear sight), & a backstrap with integral lug for shoulder stock attachment. The only other marking was the intertwined “DWM” on the middle toggle link & the S# “4” applied to the forward frame extension. The bbl. measures 16.25” long &, as per the original carbine, has a long serrated ramped base leading to a bead-profile dovetailed front sight. The sliding rear sight is mounted in front of the receiver & is graduated w/ “1”, “2” & “3” markings. Trigger, safety lever & grip safety are per the standard production guns. Fitted w/walnut checkered panels. The unmarked shoulder stock is very similar to that of the standard carbine in having a 2-screw lug, a locking lever on the left side & a serrated buttplate secured w/ 2 screws. The forend & buttstock are checkered to emulate the original & each are fitted w/ rotating sling swivels. MAGS: folded metal mag. whose plug is secured by 2 pins. CONDITION: the carbine presents as new & unfired though the buttstock has a few microscopic handling marks. Frankly, if you want the biggest, baddest Luger Carbine in the United States, this may be your only opportunity! (22-3218/LMA). MODERN. $25,000-35,000.

7.65mm, CASED W/ ACCESSORIES. Cal. 32 ACP. S#

4. Lore has it that Georg Luger made 4 baby Lugers, 2 in 7.65mm & 2 in 9mmK (.380 ACP). So it should come as no surprise that Krauswerk replicated these same guns in the finest detail, this example in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) having a 3” bbl. w/ a drift adjustable serrated ramp front sight & a “V” notch rear sight on the rear toggle link. Top mounted extractor & a left sided safety that is pushed up to prevent sear movement. The other features are similar to a full size Luger, though the only marking on this gun is “4” which appears on the front of the frame, disassembly showing a hand scratched “4” on the bottom of the bbl. extension lug. The main components are rust blued, while most sm. parts were strawed or fire blued. Fitted w/ bordered wood checkered panels. MAGS: folded unmarked mags (primary & spare), each w/ a wood plug secured by a single pin. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: CONDITION: pistol presents as new w/ absolutely no wear or thinning. Some of the original red machinist’s marking dye is still on portions of the internals. Comparable condition mags. & punch. The pistol and all accessories are fitted to a Krauswerk / Huey French fitted presentation case bound w/ black pebbled leather, w/ nickeled fittings and lined in dark green baize, compartmentalized for pistol, spare mag. & punch, takedown tool & cleaning rod, the latter 2 components missing. A phenomenal Luger. One of the rarest of the Krauswerk pistols. (22-3077/LMA). MODERN. $8,000-12,000.

Receiver has crown over anchor of King Manuel II, intertwined “MP” proof on left front plus S# on bottom via 3 in front of lug and 18 on lug. No import marks on the pistol. Very rare example from Portuguese late 1909 order for 1,000 pistols of which about 350 delivered under King Manuel II (this pistol) then approximately 300 delivered after the King’s overthrow in 1910 having a slight change in the inscription over the chamber to be “R.P.” over the anchor. This first batch is extremely rare with Arron Davis’ reference book reporting only 6 known.

Consignor states this pistol issued to Anibal Sousa Dias in 1910 when received by the Portuguese Navy; Dias was 35 at the time with rank of 2nd Lieutenant. On April 3, 1937 he was promoted to Vice Admiral (rare 2 grade promotion). In 1911 Dias & other navy officers were assigned to leadership positions in the 1st Republic of Portugal. On April 30,1960 Dias was in Lisbon at the wedding of a granddaughter to 2nd Lieutenant Jose Louis Gomes Teixeira; Dias gave the groom this pistol as a wedding gift. Teixeira went on to have a highly successful Navy career which included high level commendation for bravery while leading navy infantry unit in Mozambique; promoted to Vice Admiral in 1987. Teixeira died in January 1992 and later that year his widow sold the pistol to a collector in Lisbon. From 1910 when Dias helped overthrow the Portuguese monarchy until 1992, the pistol was with one extended family. Consignor purchased this pistol from the Lisbon collector.

without markings, proofs or numbers. Mfg. approx. 1948 as trials pistol for Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). DND contracted with private firms for lightweight aluminum alloy and magnesium frames. The first six were machined aluminum. Later, 29 examples were “pressure die cast” of aluminum alloy or magnesium, Of the 29 rough cast frames, 21 were machined and delivered. 20 Of those cast frames were numbered and one was not. This pistol is the one that was not numbered which was sent to the DND for review as a frame only, then later returned and assembled. Pistols were numbered at the base of the mainspring housing just behind the magazine well; not on right side or on front grip strap. Finish on this pistols frame is of a type of paint such as baked on lacquer or some other painted finish; it is NOT anodized. Its oiled walnut grips are flat with a coarse cross hatch pattern that does not come to points. At lower left rear of frame is a screw in lanyard loop with ring. Slide has finger groove style lightning cuts before and after its cocking grooves; left side of slide marked with “BROWNING - F.N. 9 MM HP INGLIS, CANADA”. Top rear of slide has metal removed as well leaving an integral fixed rear sight. Extractor is the early internal style. Finish of the slide is of a sand blast parkerized appearance. Front sight is the normal dovetailed style. The pistol has a ring hammer plus dimple in slide for takedown.

Bottom of tray has German sterling hallmarks. MFAA continued the hunt for looted treasures after the war during occupation, Sattgast resigned his commission June 1946 and went back to his role as college president till his death in 1964. The tray is documented in 1951 retained copy of letter to NYC art dealer: “I am in possession of a large silver tray which I took from the apartment of Eva Braun. It was in the Fishhorn Castle at Bruck near Zell-Am-See in Land, Salzburg. This tray was given to her by Adolph Hitler as a Christmas present for 1943. It has engraved in German and in block letters – Christmas 1943 Heartiest Greetings – and then below, engraved in script, the signature of Adolph Hitler.

The following 10 lots consist of rare and incredibly historic German silver flatware from the formal dinner service of Adolf Hitler. Each of the 10 pieces has been independently authenticated and is guaranteed to be from the original Hitler service. The 10 pieces are part of a group that were liberated from underneath the Fuhrerbau in Munich, Germany. In 1945 Baros M. Milson of the 48th Combat Engineers liberated the items and sent them back to the United States as war trophies. The items were purchased by A.W. Wood in 1946 and subsequently purchased from Mr. Wood by Frank Gish who wrote down the provenance and had it notarized. Included with the lot is a copy of the certificate allowing Mr. Milson to mail items home as war trophies signed by his commanding officer.

military units, outside the United States including Sudan, Portugal & even Cuba. ArmaLite licensed manufacturing rights to a Dutch manufacturer called Artillerie-Inrichtingen (A.I.) in 1957 where they were primarily manufactured in the early 1960s. Despite substantial sales to the governments of Sudan & Portugal, logistical problems would soon cause manufacture to cease & the focus would come back to the United States in the development of the successor, the AR-15. This particular example is a Portuguese model, originally manufactured as a Machine gun, like the majority of them were. It was imported back into the USA where it was destroyed by being disassembled & cut up. It was rebuilt as a semiautomatic rifle, rewelded & refinished by Boyd Hahn of Hahn Machine Company in St. Charles, Missouri.

Typical of the Hahn rebuilt AR-10 examples, there are very few signs of the re-weld process, though not completely invisible. Furniture presents typical impressions w/ no outward sign of damage of any kind. Original factory markings on lower receiver are quite light from refinishing, having lost detail. Bore examination reveals extensive fine pitting &

SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE BY KMP. Cal. 50 BMG. S# 2021729. Bbl. 45”. The Browning M2HB, affectionately referred to in military circles as “Ma Duece” is another evolution of the successful John Browning designed, recoil operated & belt fed guns that populated the battlefields during WWI. In an effort to build a gun that was comparable to the French 11mm Hotchkiss, w/ a primary purpose of defeating observation balloons & aircraft, the .50 BMG was designed and introduced for the M1921A1, which was quickly modified & reintroduced as the M2. Barrel heating issues would lead to the heavy barrel version that we now know as the M2HB. This example was manufactured by KMP Classics and redesigned as a closed bolt, semiautomatic version. Outwardly it looks the same as the fully automatic original, actually sharing several common parts, while internally, it isn’t capable of accepting the original military internals. Dark parkerized finish. Hooded front w/ coinciding rear ladder sight adjustable to 2400 meters. CONDITION: Finish on exposed metal surfaced complete & consistent. No signs of heavy use. Bore is bright w/ very strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (23-911/JZ). MODERN. $6,000-9,000.

1368. ABSOLUTELY MINT UK vz 59 BELT FEED SELF LOADING RIFLE. Cal. 7.62X54R. S# R-03158. Bbl. 23” including flash hider. The UK-59 (also commonly referred to as VZ-59) was developed in the late 1950’s to act as a dual function machine gun. It had to be light enough to be transported & utilized by a single soldier w/ the ability to utilize a rigid mount for purposes typically associated w/ the heavier variants. The design & quality must have hit their mark because even though it was manufactured in extremely small numbers in comparison to other Soviet orders, it can still be encountered in theatres of operation today. This particular example was mfg. by MarColMar, a United States based importer & manufacturer known throughout the industry for high quality, high end semi automatic variants of unique foreign machine guns. Their innovation allows complete compliance w/ our firearms regulations while offering items that may otherwise be unobtainable. The UK-59 was a very expensive firearm to build primarily because the receiver is machined from a massive bar of steel reduced in weight by a factor of 10 during the manufacturing process. Caliber is 7.62X54R just like the original. Feed system is the familiar non disintegrating steel link found in other Russian systems w/ the exception of a redesign to upgrade the mechanism to a push through style (similar to the U.S. M60, M240, M249 etc.). The bbl. finish is a deep rich blue & muzzle is terminated w/ a threaded cone. Folding adj. bipod beneath the hooded post front sight. Rear sight is a ladder style notch sight micro adj. for windage w/ 100 to 2000 meters of fine adjustment. Finish on receiver is a deep thick gray reminiscent of many of the Czech military firearms. Wooden stock & pistol grip are a customary reddish brown in finish. Stock features a folding support that can be dropped into vertical position during normal use when additional support isn’t necessary. MAGS: 6 factory 36” sections of non-disintegrating links, 1 small feed can & 1 large feed can. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 2 belt cans (1 large & 1 small) 6 belts, canvas wrapped operators / armorer’s kit. CONDITION: All aspects indicate as new. Consigner states it has never been fired, and its condition certainly follows suit. Consigner states this is still under warranty. Exterior finish appears as left the factory. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. (23995/JZ). MODERN. $9,000-11,000.

1369. LATE MODEL, HOWA JAPAN ARMALITE AR-180 RIFLE. Cal. 5.56mm. S# S11876. Bbl. length 18”. Manufactured Feb. 1974. The original ArmaLite AR-18 was designed in 1963 in CA. as a potential alternative for the U.S. military. When it started to look as though it would not be adopted as a standard service rifle, production was licensed to Howa Machinery Co. in Japan where they began production in 1967. Because military sales to U.S. were effected by American-Japanese treaty agreements that forbid Japan in selling to arms to “belligerent nations”, it was determined rifles could not be sold to the U.S. due to our involvement in Vietnam. In 1974 ArmaLite & Sterling Ltd. in England signed a production agreement to manufacture both the AR-18 (Select-Fire version) & the AR-180 (the semi automatic commercial version) & started manufacturing rifles in 1975. This particular example was mfg. for ArmaLite Inc. in Costa Mesa, CA. by Howa Japan under ArmaLite patents. Serial number located on lower receiver. It is a gas operated piston driven semi auto rifle w/ a left side folding stock. Front sight is an elevation adjustable protected post. Rear sight is a windage adjustable dual aperture peep sight marked 200 & 400. The rifle is charged by a reciprocating handle on the right side of the rifle. Ambidextrous safety selector controls, black plastic furniture. Proper muzzle brake & the bayonet lug w/ attached green canvas sling. MAGS: 1 aluminum 20 rd. w/ ArmaLite AR-18 floorplate. CONDITION: bluing is complete on all exposed metal surfaces w/ some gentle thinning in areas of moving parts. Left side of receiver has been scratch engraved w/ unknown 16 digit number below rear sight. Stock locks tightly in open & closed positions. Magazine body appears to be a Colt era AR-15 magazine but the follower, spring & floorplate appear to be original Armalite. Bore is bright w/ strong rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (23-524/JZ). MODERN. $1,200-1,800.

Consigner supplied the following statement regarding the role of this rifle in the inception of the MILES Laser Training System; “In 1972, The Combat Training Board hired Arthur D. Little, Inc. a Cambridge, MA (“ADL”) based technical consulting firm, to propose the application of new technologies to the army’s training program. After visiting several training bases, the ADL team which included the AR-15’s consignor and Lieutenant General James Gavin (82 Airborne retired), the team recommended the application of microcomputers and lasers as new technologies. The application proposed was the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System, (MILES) is a laser training system that was designed to fit specific firearms in military service and emulate their performance when used in conjunction with sensors to pick up fired “shots”. The system coded weapons and sensors so that heavy weapons could “damage or destroy” armored units and lighter weapons could only “wound or kill” personnel. It was designed in the late 1970’s and enhanced over the years. The MILES System is still involved in infantry training today. In the early days of the system, it was introduced to the Army’s Combat Arms Training Board as a mockup, utilizing this rifle and the attached accessories. It was photographed for the final report by the consignor in 1973”. MAGS: 2 aluminum 20 rd w/ Adventureline” floorplates.

In a single stroke of the charging handle the cloth belt is pulled into the receiver w/ a round extracted from the belt & inserted into the face of the bolt. The bolt closes & the round is chambered for firing & the belt advanced to the next position. As the charging handle returns to the rear to start the cycle over, the fired round is extracted & ejected from the bottom of the receiver. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: 1-33” cloth belt containing 10 functional dummy rds. & display stand w/ black & silver metal tag w/ the following information; “National Guard of the United States / Model BMG Cal. 30 M1919A6 / Device Number 3-E-7 / Serial number 393 / Developed and Produced by Office of Navel Research Special Devices Center / U.S.N.

James D. Julia Joins Poulin Auction Company

“The Tradition Continues”

greatly.

Nick Poulin, head of well-known Poulin’s Firearms Company, recently announced a special collaboration with world renowned antiques dealer, James D. Julia. Nick explained, “In the mid-1960s, my grandfather; Jim’s father, Arthur Julia, together with his wife started a small antiques shop and eventually a successful auction house. In the 1970s, Jim bought the auction business from Arthur and grew it into a world-renowned company. My parents, Steve Poulin and Jeannine Poulin, also transitioned into auctioneers and we conducted auctions literally next door to Jim for many years. When Jim sold his company in 2017, it allowed the Poulin Company an extraordinary opportunity for growth. We knew Jim’s absence from the market gave us a tremendous opportunity to grow. Over these past few years, we have grown exponentially. Last year, based on annual sales, our company generated $20 million dollars in sales making us the second largest firearms auction house in the world but of equal importance, we

sales in virtually every type of antiques you can think of. He has a panoramic knowledge of the antiques world and tremendous experience. Three-generations of marketing expertise and nearly $1 BILLION in combined total sales by the Poulin & Julia Family benefits both the buyers and sellers alike, ensuring the sellers get the maximum return for their goods and the buyers can trust the descriptions to be accurate and honest.

Jim and I have 2 goals:

1.) Help us to continue to grow our Firearms Division to take it from #2 to #1 in the world.

POULIN’S ANTIQUE DIVISION

2.Fees:My dad taught us all that there are essentially two ways to be successful in the world. One way is to charge high exorbitant prices and look out only for yourself, the other is treat your customers, both buyers and sellers, honestly and give them a good deal. Be willing to work for a fair and reasonable amount of money. (Poulin’s unquestionably offers some of the best terms in the firearms world today)

3. Results: It makes no difference what anyone charges or how honest they are, they must also produce the results. Poulin’s has certainly proven that they can produce tremendous results. Their sales have consistently grown with very strong prices including numerous world records.

I will be working with Nick to reestablish their antiques auction division and build it into one of the major ones in North America. Our summer inaugural sale will be an exciting event and already includes an array of quality items.

established a number of new world records. Jim can now re-enter the auction marketplace and met with me to discuss how we could work together. Now, with the continuation of the family name involved with the auction industry, I frequently say, “the tradition continues”.
