Momentum from 2014’s solid success is pushing strong into 2015 with Rock Island Auction Company’s April Premiere
Firearms Auction. Already shaping up to be a spectacular gathering of the rarest and most sought after collector and
investment grade rearms, this spring sale is rife with perpetual favorites and gorgeous rearms from collections that
represent decades of devotion. Colts, as always, will be strongly represented by weapons ranging from classic early
blackpowder revolvers to fully-automatic M16 machine guns. Examples include the outstanding, double cased set
of British cased and proofed 1849 Pocket revolvers and the beautifully engraved, gold inlaid, and signed Colt Model
1873 with Henry Nettleton inspection marks. Winchesters also happily abound with numerous high condition Henry
ri es and early lever-guns with various special order features and stunning condition. Also exciting in this sale is
the number of high grade sporting ri es and shotguns by such ne makers as Holland & Holland, Westley Richards,
Kriegho , Merkel & many more. We are proud to welcome Part II of the William Baird Colt Collection with its emphasis
on Model 1877 Colt Lightnings and Thunderers, and the nal installment of the extraordinary Gene
Smith Military Collection and its in-depth study on WorldWar II handguns. New to this auction will
be the Lifetime Luger Collection of Icon Ralph Shattuck and the
collection of Dr. Joel Glovsky which contains the most complete
and advanced array of 7.65mm pistols ever made available, a 60
year endeavor; this collection also includes most of the 7.65mm
pistols from the estate of the late Sid Aberman. Join us April 24,
25, & 26 for a sale as lled with quality as it is variety.
